*******************
The crescent moon is bent, and the wicker hangs.
The sound of magpies chirping and the lights are lit.
The military tents outside the city stretched out, and the Xiapi was surrounded by water.
Columns of sergeants, dressed in armor and armed with spears, strode around without slackening.
Grunt~
A loud sound of hunger came from the belly of the soldier standing guard at the gate, long and deep.
Grunt~
This was followed by another bang.
The little soldier leaned his spear on the side of the gate, held his lower abdomen in one hand, frowned, half-crouched down, and let out a chewing sound from his mouth: "Raushzi! Uncle, I have at least two cakes in a meal, I have already stopped yesterday, and today I am hungry for another day! In case the thieves in the city are killed, the uncle doesn't even have the strength to run! No more! ”
Hush~
Another soldier who accompanied him on duty hurriedly made a gesture and advised him to talk nonsense, looked around, and saw that it did not attract the attention of others, so he replied softly: "Brother Wang! Do you dare to say that? I already killed one yesterday, you call it disturbing the morale of the army, do you understand? Kill your head! ”
"I'm afraid of a bird!"
The little soldier surnamed Wang sat on the ground with a puff, and then put his helmet still on the ground: "The head is off, and the scar is the size of the bowl!" Lao Tzu has been on the battlefield for several years, killing countless people, and has never fought hungry! Lao Tzu would rather be beheaded than starving! ”
The soldier surnamed Wang deliberately shouted out the sentence "Lao Tzu would rather be killed than starve to death", and the night was very quiet, setting off this sentence very loudly, and it startled the crows in the willows.
In the military tent, seven or eight candles illuminated the entire military tent and flickered with a pop.
Gao Ran put his hand on his cheek, crouched in front of the bronze case, staring intently at the dancing candle flame, looking absent-minded and preoccupied.
A lieutenant-level officer broke into the tent, clasped his hands into fists and said, "General! Lao Wang's insulting remarks disturbed the morale of the army, whether "
Before the words were finished, Gao Ran waved his hand, got up, and let out a sneer: "Don't say that Lao Wang is disrespectful, even General Ben himself wanted to scold, he had already killed a person yesterday, could it continue today?"
It is not their fault that they do not have military rations, and still less can they be charged with the crime of confusion in the morale of the military; blindly relying on hegemonic behavior will only make the contradictions more and more intensified, and this is not the solution to the problem at all. ”
The officer snorted and said, "The last general knows what to do!" Then he turned around and went out of the account.
"Wait!"
Gao Ran stopped: "Send all the prey you hunted back today to everyone, and continue to send people to hunt elsewhere tomorrow." ”
"Hmmm! The end will understand. ”
"And! Send someone to explore the road to see when the reinforcements will arrive, but if it doesn't work, let's use the horses and camels to come back with some food, and we can't wait here! Go ahead. ”
The officer promised and turned to leave.
Squeak~yah~
At night, the city of Xiapi unfolded, and the lights shot through the city gate. Out of the city, a beautiful path of light was formed, and this path of light could not help but alert the defenders outside the city.
Burst! Burst! Burst!
The Yuan army immediately formed a battle sequence, protecting the entire Yuanmen, crossbowmen, spear warriors, and ironclad shield soldiers, arranged in an orderly manner, and lined up in array.
Under normal circumstances, the city gates will be widely displayed, but there will be no torches, because this will reveal the whereabouts, and this is a watch day, and the night is coming, this is not the best time for a night attack.
"Brothers! I am back! ”
Under the torches, Zhang He strode towards the barracks, behind him was a long military column, dozens of grain trucks were arranged in an orderly manner, and the cars were full of grain and grass, enough for a hundred stones!
This voice was so familiar, the guards of the gate recognized their own general at the first time, and they trusted Zhang He very much, and waved his hand to retreat without a trace of defense.
"General Zhang! Why did you come out, eldest son? ”
The officer surnamed Wang hurriedly waved his hand to greet Zhang He, took a big stride towards Zhang He, and walked about a hundred and ten steps, only then did he see Zhang He clearly, and even more clearly saw the grain cart behind him, and couldn't help but perk up, and shouted: "This is really good!" ”
Zhang He's pace quickened slightly, and as soon as he stepped forward, he was hugged by a bear, and said excitedly: "I can't stand it when I'm hungry!" Come, this is a hundred stone grain, and there is a cart of wine in the back, today's son wakes up, let's celebrate. ”
"Haha good!"
The officer surnamed Wang was overjoyed and couldn't help but say, "General Zhang! Don't you know, I'm already hungry with my chest sticking to my back! ”
Grunt~
At this moment, the stomach sounded dramatically again, as if he was deliberately cooperating with the behavior of the officer surnamed Wang.
The sergeant suddenly reveled, and the girl rushed out, although the hungry heart was close to the back at this time, but the strength on the arm seemed to have divine help, and each of them was a good hand at carrying grain and grass!
Gao Ran hurriedly rushed out when he heard the news, came to see Zhang He, and saw that Zhang He was safe and sound, so he relieved his heart and let out a long breath, but then his brows tightened again, and a cloud of doubt quietly rose.
"Left and right! Take down the rebellious Zhang He for me! ”
Gao Ran waved his hand and immediately shouted.
Everyone present was stunned, only a small number of sergeants raised their spears and pointed at Zhang He, most of the soldiers were overwhelmed with fright, after all, Zhang He was once their supreme commander.
The officer surnamed Wang is Zhang He's confidant, and he is not very convinced by Gao Ran, but now that Zhang He has brought food, this person is even more slanderous Zhang He as a rebel, how can Officer Wang stand it!
A wave of anger ignited in Tengdi, and Officer Wang stood up in front of Zhang He, protecting the lord with his body, glaring at a pair of ringed eyes, and roaring angrily: "The surname is high!" You don't have the ability to get food, forget it, you dare to slander General Zhang today, brothers! guys! ”
As soon as Officer Wang instigated this, dozens of soldiers rushed out, they threw down the grain, raised their spears and swords, and surrounded Gao Ran and the others.
Time! There are many contradictions, and water and fire are incompatible!
Gao Ran was furious, looked around, and rebuked: "Are you going to rebel?" ”
"Rebellion!?"
Officer Wang was furious, and with a bang, the long sword came out of its sheath, flashing a cold light, and flew the spear in front of him, pointing at Gao Ran and shouting: "Okay, you bastard! Indiscriminately convict General Zhang of rebellion, you are the one who wants to rebel! ”
Gao Ran was so angry that his face turned red, pointed to the military rations on the side, and reprimanded: "Yuan Gongzi is alone in Xiapi City, where did he get so much grain and grass, it must be that General Zhang took refuge in the traitor, and even poisoned the wine and food, hum!" Then he led the army out and broke us and others, how can such a vicious plan be hidden from me! ”
The officer Wang was stunned for a moment, his eyes in a daze, and he didn't say a word!
Gao Ran's concern is very reasonable, this grain and grass must have been obtained from Liu Bei, at this time they are hostile to each other, no matter who they are, they will have the same doubts in the face of such a situation.
Hahaha
Zhang He let out a wild laugh, waved his hand, turned to Officer Wang's side, his eyes were like torches, without the slightest timidity, he raised his hand and shouted: "Get the wine!" ”
The accompanying sergeant brought a vat of fine wine, tore open the seal, and the grunt was a burst of binge drinking, and after drinking, there was a crisp bang, and the pottery wine vat was shattered.
All the generals present were indignant!
Gao Ran still couldn't believe it, and said: "Even if the wine is not poisonous, the food must be poisonous!" ”
Zhang He let out a contemptuous laugh, full of disdain, and said indifferently: "Take two cakes!" ”
The accompanying sergeant took out two more flatbreads and handed them to Zhang He! Zhang He swallowed the flatbread while pulling it.
Zhang He explained everything with practical actions!
Officer Wang glanced at Gao Ran with disdain, and roared angrily: "Brothers! Move grain! ”
