The school field can accommodate thousands of people to practice, and more than 200 people standing here seem a little empty.

Lu Bu walked up to the high platform accompanied by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.

Holding the hilt of his sword, he looked around at the soldiers present.

More than 200 people had sallow faces, and their eyes were not bright, and they looked very tired.

"After many months of fighting, the soldiers have worked hard." Lu Bu shouted.

"Follow the general to the death!" Although exhausted, the soldiers still held their heads high and shouted in unison.

In the hearts of the soldiers, Lu Bu is an existence like a god of war.

Since he led 200 cavalry to burn Cao's grain and grass at night, and burned Xiahoudun on the mountain, he has become an undefeated myth in the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies.

"It's not a short time with you, and I know everyone here is a warrior." Lu Bu shouted: "There is something I must tell you, maybe you will cause a lot of trouble if you know about it, but I still have to say it!" If I don't be honest, without your help, I can't face it alone! ”

Lu Bu actually asked the soldiers for help, and almost everyone's face showed a blank look.

They had never seen Lu Bu face a lowly soldier with humility.

"We're running out of food." Lu Bu continued: "All the food is not enough for the army to consume for a month. Even if we don't take into account the hungry people, we won't survive next year's harvest season. ”

He actually bluntly said in front of the soldiers that there was a shortage of food in the army, and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were stunned.

The most taboo thing in the army is to spread the news of food shortages.

Anyone who commands soldiers and horses knows that even if there is a real shortage of food, the soldiers must have the illusion that they will not be able to eat enough.

As a soldier, he eats and fights on the battlefield in order to fill his stomach.

If you can't even eat your stomach, who is willing to fight hard?

Sure enough, Lu Bu said that there was a shortage of food in the army, and the soldiers all showed surprised expressions.

There was a slight commotion in the orderly array.

Although they did not move their feet, the soldiers began to whisper to each other.

"Wen Hou ......" Gao Shun approached Lu Bu and whispered to remind him.

Lu Bu raised his hand and motioned for him not to speak.

Glancing at Zhang Liao, who was also confused, Gao Shun retreated to his original position.

"Have you come up with a solution?" After letting the soldiers talk for a while, Lu Bu shouted: "If no one can make up their minds, shouldn't they listen to me?" ”

The soldiers stopped talking, and their eyes looked at him, and the school field returned to tranquility again.

"Is it true that we don't have any way out without food?" His gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers, and Lu Bu said: "Even if the sky falls, as long as people live, we can still push it back!" There have been countless battles on the battlefield, which one didn't crawl out of the pile of dead people? Is it a trivial matter of lack of food that makes you cowardly? ”

The lack of food in the army is definitely a matter of life and death, but what Lu Bu said was as simple as just soaking in urine.

The soldiers looked at each other again, not understanding how he could still speak so easily in such a bad situation.

"Is there really no way out of the lack of military rations?" The corners of Lu Bu's mouth hooked, revealing a relaxed smile: "In my opinion, the world is a big granary, born as people in the world, will we still be starved to death?" ”

None of the more than 200 people standing on the school grounds dared to say anything.

The world is indeed a big granary, but the food belongs to others, who will give it to them?

"I know where there is food, do you dare to go with me to get it?" Lu Bu raised his voice and asked the soldiers.

"Dare!" Without food, they could only starve to death, and more than 200 soldiers replied in unison without hesitation.

Lu Bu waved his hand: "Go back and rest, and set off early tomorrow morning!" ”

Although I don't know where the food is, with Lu Bu personally leading the team, how can the soldiers dare not go.

They dispersed one after another, and the more than 200 people who were still demoralized just now actually turned their cheeks slightly red as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and some even looked back twice when they left.

"I just pinched a cold sweat." Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief: "The soldiers knew that if they didn't have military rations, most of them would be demoralized, but they didn't expect that Wen Hou's words would boost their morale." ”

"Despair and hope are not exactly opposites." Lu Bu said: "There is no hope, there will be no despair, as long as they are given a little hope in despair, they will work hard to achieve it." After all, there is only one way to live, either to advance or to die. ”

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both nodded thoughtfully.

They suddenly understood why Lu Bu dared to go out of the city with only 200 people to burn Cao's army rations.

It was a much more difficult time then than it is now.

Almost everyone thought that Xia Pi was over, but Lu Bu sought victory in danger and led the soldiers to fight their way out of a desperate situation.

"Where is Wen Hou going to borrow food?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Zhongli." Lu Bu said: "It is the closest to Xuzhou, and if you grab food, you can evacuate in time." ”

"If Yuan Shu sends troops to chase after us, what should we do?" Gao Shun said: "After being trapped for so long, Xuzhou has long been much worse than before, although Yuan Shu has declined, it is still stronger than us." ”

"Yuan Shu is not Cao Cao." Lu Bu said: "If he dares to come, I can let him come and go." ”

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun accompanied Lu Bu on the left and right.

Outside the barracks, Lu Bu instructed the two of them: "The two hundred people on the school field should not be sent to clean up the ruins. Looting food requires physical strength. ”

"Don't worry, we understand." Gao Shun Dao.

"In these days when I am away, the defense of the city is handed over to Wenyuan, and General Gao should not forget to train the soldiers." After explaining the two of them, Lu Bu left the barracks.

Seeing him walk away, Zhang Liao asked Gao Shun, "General Gao, do you feel that Wen Hou has been very different from before recently?" ”

Gao Shun nodded: "It seems to be more arrogant than before, and I am not so indecisive in doing things." If it weren't for Wen Hou's decisiveness to go out of the city to burn Cao's military rations, Xiapi would have been broken at this time. ”

"Why do you think Wen Hou seems to have suddenly changed as a person?" Zhang Liao said: "This change is too big, I can't believe that we have been following Wen for many years." ”

"Could it be that Wei Xu and the others rebelled, making Wen Hou too sentimental, so he became like this?" Gao Shun said uncertainly.

"Quite possibly." Zhang Liao said: "After all, Wen Hou once relied on them so much, but they still rebelled in the end. It's not going to happen to anyone. ”

Leaving the barracks, Lu Bu came to a street in the city.

The military and civilians cleaned up day and night, but the manpower was not efficient after all, and there were many broken walls on both sides of the road.

On the side of the street, a few tents were set up in the open space that had just been cleared.
