On the third pole of the day, Yecheng was lively outside the city. Compared with the well-disciplined Youzhou soldiers, the Montenegrin bandit army, who came one after another, called their masters and sons in the barracks to run together, and they were huddled together, which was probably no better than the homeless people in the eyes of people.

Liu Bei didn't know that he had personally dealt with several conflicts between the Black Mountain thieves and the Youzhou soldiers. Being able to make trouble in front of Liu Bei, the lord of the army, is actually not a big deal at first glance, it is nothing more than in terms of armor and equipment, food treatment, so that the hungry Black Mountain thieves have green eyes.

Why? Everyone is a soldier to eat food, fighting hard, and here is to "help" Liu Bei to attack Yecheng, why do Youzhou soldiers eat two meals a day, can eat full corn hard buns, and have big bone broth to drink, while the Black Mountain thieves are required to bring their own rations, wild vegetable dumplings are cold, and their faces are green. I didn't think anything of it when I was in the mountains before, but now compared with the regular army, this food is even worse than pig food! In addition, the Montenegrin thieves who are not resentful of "unequal pay for equal work" always feel despised and alienated by the Youzhou soldiers, and their own chief officer turns a blind eye, maybe they also have the connivance of this idea, so it is not against the sky? Looting and fighting, these are all trivial things, and even when the contradictions intensified, they even used knives. I don't want to think about the Black Mountain thief soldiers who are hungry all day long and can only have wild vegetable dumplings to eat when they go to war, in terms of combat power, how can they be the opponents of this private soldier that Liu Bei took great pains to put together. So much so that the thirty or fifty Black Mountain thieves were pressed and beaten by more than ten Youzhou soldiers.

This is a frying pan. There are millions of thieves in Montenegro, and they have been suppressed by the government for ten years without hurting their bones. Even the nest was not discovered, and the huddle was famous. The suppression of the Youzhou soldiers is very happy. But the leader of the Black Mountain thief cavalry, Yu Poison, and the rumored thief Zhang Yan will arrive in the next few days, and Zhang Yan, who first brought 20,000 vanguard troops and sent to contact Liu Bei, the thief general Yu Cheng will not do it. Not to mention the noisy miasma of mixing up the camp of Liu Beijun, he also relied on Liu Bei's repeated strict orders to restrain the soldiers of Youzhou from clashing with the Black Mountain thieves, and became more and more presumptuous. Everywhere he passed, in the face of the Youzhou soldiers who were strictly ordered to fight back and scold and not return the mouth, it could almost be called a ransack.

It is rumored that Liu Bei loves soldiers like a son. At least on the surface. can pull up an army of such a scale under Gongsun Zhan's eyes. It took a lot of thought. These Youzhou soldiers of Liu Bei's lineage, where did they suffer such grievances, they were so insulted by a group of thieves, and they were ordered not to overreact, which surprised the "friendly army". A bad breath has long been held back. If it weren't for Liu Bei's good use of means, his prestige in the Youzhou soldiers was extremely high, and I am afraid that he would have been dissatisfied with the army.

But it is really not a way to go on like this, Yuan Xi in Yecheng did not pay attention to his face, and sent a letter to Kong Rong in the city to ask for a letter, and he didn't know what had happened, and he had been delayed for three or five days without a reply. This strange atmosphere made Kong Rong, who originally wanted to go into the city in person to see if it was what Yuan Xi wanted, also subconsciously stopped. The pretext waited patiently for a response. If it weren't for the smooth communication between the generals in the army between each other, Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw would have spoken politely. And there is no curfew inside and outside Yecheng, and the news that there is no movement of the army in the city sent by the spies in the city from time to time made Liu Bei, who still took care of some face, and held on to the excuse that he came to help Yuan Xi resist Lu Bu and Cao Cao's attack.

But now there is such a thing as a black mountain thief making trouble. Liu Bei, who has always been forbearing, is really impatient. Although this expedition was approved by Gongsun Zhan, the grain and grass for approval were really not much, and they were only enough for the 10,000 Youzhou soldiers who went out on the battlefield in January. But Liu Bei took out all his family resources this time, and the grain and grass needed for the 20,000 army were all the inventory squeezed out by Liu Bei's teeth, not counting, since he made peace with the Black Mountain Thieves, Liu Bei, who has always been "generous", naturally will not lose face in front of the "friendly army", and almost dials a batch of poison for Yu with his back molars. But the problem is that this point of military food and forage, which is actually enough to cover the food of 3,000 people for a month, if it is placed in front of the 10,000 Montenegrin thieves who have never had the concept of "full food" and 20,000 Montenegrin sturdy "vanguards", people will eat and chew under the horses, and they will be eaten clean in just three or two days! That's it, or because of the fact that the "equality of officers and soldiers" of poison and sincerity has not been opened. But how dare Liu Beijun send troops for more than ten days, so he flew back to ask Gongsun Zhan for food? It is still a trivial matter to expose the strength, if it is found that the black mountain thief who has the intention of "being good" actually bypassed Gongsun Zhan, the lord of Youzhou, and took refuge in him Liu Bei, it is impossible to say that the rumors about Liu Bei's unsubordination that were suppressed by Liu Bei by means before Liu Bei will pour out one after another, and Liu Bei will be beaten back to before liberation overnight.

Liu Bei is annoying! The third brother Zhang Fei does not know whether he is alive or dead, the second brother Guan Yu's heartache has not healed, Yecheng Yuan Xi has an ambiguous attitude, his own army lacks military rations, and the contradictions between the two armies with the Black Mountain thieves have escalated repeatedly, and he has to worry about whether Cao Cao, who has been watching coldly, will be stabbed sideways and be peached; What worries Liu Bei the most is that because of Kong Rong's clever plan, he lost the general of the personal guard, and it can be said that Lu Bu, who was annoyed by his own provocation for no reason, will he also take advantage of this great opportunity to raise troops to retaliate. One thing after another was pressed repeatedly, making Liu Bei, a hero, exhausted. At this time, even the Hainei Wenkui Kong Rong, who was called a fish and water by Liu Bei before, relied on as a confidant, and regarded himself as a think tank in Liu's Youzhou army everywhere, had no idea, except for repeatedly suggesting that the friendship between the two armies should not be hurt no matter what, and that he wanted to be appeased and appeased, and his scalp was scratching and bleeding, and there was no other way to solve other things.

After two days of noisy, just when Liu Bei really couldn't listen to Kong Rong's words anymore, he continued to wait in such a senseless space, deliberately sending troops, wanting to storm Yecheng, and not giving other forces who were waiting outside at the moment time to gather troops to attack, even if they were facing the enemy on all sides, they would take Yecheng left and right, even if they would defend the city with the grain of Yecheng at that time. Zhang Yan, who had delayed her "schedule" for five or six days, ordered someone to deliver the news that she would lead the army to arrive tomorrow.

Liu Bei didn't know whether to be happy or depressed now. Although I haven't really seen Zhang Yan's true face. But in several communications, Zhang Yan lowered her posture in tone. And it has always been like this, so that Liu Bei is really difficult to use the Black Mountain thief horse led by the poison and the 20,000 Black Mountain Elite brought by Zhen Cheng to embarrass Zhang Yan with the conflict between his own Youzhou soldiers, this mouth is sulking. It seems that it can only be swallowed forcibly. Now Liu Bei can only hope that Zhang Yan's ability to gather the commanders of the Black Mountain thieves is extremely high, and he can suppress these lawless "friendly troops" from the thieves and break Yecheng as soon as possible, even if when the time comes to divide the resources of Yecheng, it doesn't matter if he will give more than half of the newly collected military food from Jizhou to the Black Mountain thieves. Liu Bei only asks for people, the city belongs, and everything else is easy to discuss. This is also the bottom line of Liu Bei, who tasted the uselessness of heroes.

It is said that you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. In the same way, you can never reason with someone who deliberately finds fault. In Liu Bei's eyes, it may be because he knows his own coach. Or the arrival of the "big parent", the Montenegrin bandits, who had been making trouble for several days, finally stopped rarely, which made Liu Bei breathe a sigh of relief.

No way. When no one can stand the evening meal. As soon as the marching pot was set up, there were countless easy to eat a few meals, and the Black Mountain thieves, like flies smelling blood, suddenly appeared, rushing up to grab food. There were even some fierce thieves in the Black Mountain, in order to snatch the food in the hands of the soldiers of Youzhou, and fought against the soldiers who resisted with strict orders not to fight back. The ruthlessness of the attack made the Youzhou soldiers who were intimidated by military law finally have to watch their comrades being called Huazi like black mountain thieves again and again. Again and again rampant success. Liu Bei couldn't remember how many times he had received reports from his own soldiers, saying that the Black Mountain thieves were too bullying. But this big-eared brother with the halo of pig's feet, on the one hand, has to take care of the military heart of his own brothers, and on the other hand, he has to take care of the Black Mountain thieves under the command of "Xintou", and he has to show Zhang Yan who is "very courteous" in the letter. There is no good way for a while, and it is a dilemma.

But fortunately, this kind of aggrieved days are finally coming to an end. Tanma said that the Montenegrin army led by Zhang Yan was only fifty miles away. Just wait for the dawn, you can come here to join forces, for the sake of the overall situation, Liu Bei can only be ruthless, let the brothers suffer another night of "grievances".

"What are you going to do, I'm General Guan's personal guard......"

Originally, although the Black Mountain thieves were arrogant, they still had a degree in general. It's just for a bite to eat. This gang of black mountain thieves can also be regarded as having some "principles", generally as long as they rob the food of the soldiers in Youzhou, they will walk away with the "victims" who dare to be angry and dare not speak, and then they will see this soldier take out something else, and they will not rob it a second time.

It is precisely in view of the strange "self-restraint" of the Black Mountain thieves, who were robbed of dinner by the Black Mountain thieves, most of the Youzhou soldiers were angry, and they would also be fed to the dogs, anyway, these Black Mountain thieves who were destined to be cannon fodder for them did not dare to harass them too much, and under Liu Bei's repeated strict orders, no one took the lead in saying things Therefore, although the contradictions between the soldiers of the two armies are getting deeper and deeper because of a bite of food, but under the fear of both sides, they can be regarded as barely maintaining restraint, although there is some friction and fighting from time to time, But there were no fatal clashes either.

But at this "critical" time tonight, I don't know if the soldier named Xiao Qi was too stubborn, or because of Liu Bei's connivance, the arrogance of the Black Mountain thieves caused a qualitative change from quantitative change. Just when Xiao Qi was carrying a food box and heading towards the Chinese army, a team of Black Mountain Elite who followed behind Chu Cheng, the commander of the Black Mountain Thief Foot Soldiers, came to fight the autumn wind, and somehow they were eyeing it.

Under normal circumstances, a personal soldier like Xiao Qi, even if the Black Mountain thief soldiers covet the food in their hands, they still have some scruples, and they dare not rob it openly, but they don't know that these people are guilty of evil today, Chu Cheng glanced at a Black Mountain thief soldier next to him, and stepped forward to snatch the food box in Xiao Qi's hand. Unexpectedly, although this little seven looked young, he had gone through some battles, and this strong soldier of the Black Mountain failed to rob it, but fortunately he was shaken by the force of the forward rush. This annoyed the Black Mountain thieves who rushed up, and they greeted them left and right a few times, and they turned the dozens of Youzhou soldiers who had already stood up in front of them as if they were nothing, and they directly robbed them.

"Don't move! Don't move! Say what about you! Other...... Move! Chu Cheng, who looked like a monkey with a sharp mouth, was still a little stumbling when he spoke, his tattered armor was casually tied around his waist, and he walked like a hanger, arrogantly pointing at Xiao Qitong who had already noticed the Youzhou soldiers here, and said with a sneer: "Tell you!" Grandpa is blessed to take a fancy to what you have in your hand. Do you know who we are? Friendly! Friendly! Got it? Didn't your lord teach you how to deal with your allies? ”

Although Chu Cheng's words were arrogant, they really stopped the footsteps of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army who wanted to come over. Liu Bei is really good at these soldiers who can rely on to "make a fortune", but the military law is also very strict. Just because of the friction between the Black Mountain thieves and the Youzhou soldiers in the past few days. Liu Bei has given strict orders more than once, and he can't let the friendly troops be frightened!

"Humph! Bring it here! The Black Mountain thief who was almost shaken by Xiao Qi just now saw that the Youzhou soldiers were frightened by their master, and they were stunned, and the contempt on their faces suddenly appeared, and they stepped forward to grab the food box in Xiao Qi's hand. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu's personal guard, nicknamed Xiao Qi, was also a soldier who had protected Guan Yu from Lu Bu's army, and his stubborn temper came up. Dead or alive just refused to let go, and the two sides were deadlocked.

"ND, I can't do that. Go help him! Chu Cheng's eyes showed a bit of ruthlessness, and he impatiently kicked the Black Mountain thief soldiers around him, pointed to the stalemate in the field, and said angrily.

After all, Shuangquan is difficult to defeat with four hands. Under the siege of more than a dozen Black Mountain bandits. Xiao Qi couldn't dodge, and his skills were quickly dwarfed. One was not careful, and was given a chance by the Black Mountain thieves who had been staring at his next plate, and he tripped and fell to the ground with a hook of his hand. Seeing that the Black Mountain thief came to snatch the food box again, Xiao Qi, who had been with Guan Yu for a long time, was also hard, although he was kicked by the Black Mountain thief on his head and body, he still gritted his teeth. just refused to let go, and made up his mind to pay attention, even if he was beaten, he wouldn't let these people succeed. After all, Xiao Qi is weak. Seeing that he still had the strength to resist at the beginning, in the end, he was just beaten with a food box, although the eyes of the surrounding comrades were red, but seeing that this Chu Cheng could lead 20,000 black mountain thieves to join Liu Bei, he was really not a person to be provoked, and he didn't dare to step forward to help.

"Bring it to me!" The Black Mountain thief finally succeeded, broke his fingers from Xiao Qi's hand, snatched out the food box and respectfully handed it to Chu Cheng. Unveiled the food box, it was half a roasted wild pheasant, Chu Cheng threw the food box aside, in front of the hateful eyes of dozens of Youzhou soldiers, took a big bite of the chicken, the ugly face full of wrinkled pockmarks, showed a look of enjoyment, smashed it, smashed it, and threw the roast chicken in his hand to the black mountain thief who had just shot the hardest, Chu Cheng gave a thumbs up to Xiao Qi, who fell to the ground and did not move, with a dry cough full of contempt, and a mouthful of thick phlegm spit on Xiao Qi's dusty face. Turn around and walk away.

"Yikes! Xiao Qi is out of gas! This group of bitches raised! Go, stop the black mountain thieves raised by the son of a bitch, and find someone to tell General Guan quickly! Chu Cheng didn't go far away, and the soldiers of Youzhou, who had endured it to the extreme, hurriedly came to help Xiao Qi, thinking that according to Xiao Qi's physique, at most he would suffer a little sin. Who told our lord to value these "friendly forces"? But who wanted to wipe the thick phlegm off Xiao Qi's face, but found that Xiao Qi didn't snort at all, and when he touched his neck again, there was no movement, and the corners of his mouth slowly oozing blood, except for the fingers that were forcibly broken, his arms were still protecting the food box until now.

Someone's killed! Even the arrogant Chu Cheng was also stiff before. It doesn't matter if the Montenegrin thieves fight with the soldiers of Youzhou, and they can endure robbing people of food, didn't the lord Liu Xuande say it. We are an army of benevolence and righteousness, we must show our dignity and treat our "friendly troops" well! But who would have thought that this "friendly army" would kill someone just for half a roast chicken, which is not easy to say, right?

If you can't fight back, you can't scold back, it's okay! But this is not even his life, he did not die on the battlefield, but died under the siege of "friendly troops", but it is a bit too much to say. And look at the arrogance of those people, now it's Xiao Qi, but who can guarantee that the next one won't be you, me and him? The anger that had already accumulated in his heart was completely detonated by the fuse of Xiao Qi's death.

"Alas! Alas! What do you want to do? The Black Mountain thief who had just been thrown half a chicken by Chu Cheng over, this time he had such a righteous spirit of sacrificing himself to protect the Lord, blocking in front of the Youzhou soldiers who came over with a calm face, almost pointing at the nose of the approaching Youzhou soldiers, and asked threateningly: "You thieves!" Do you know who the young master of my family is? Zhang Dashuai is the uncle of the young master of my family! You know what! Even if it is the lord of your family, what is Liu Bei Liu Xuande, when he sees the young master of my family, he has to laugh and laugh, and he doesn't dare to be a little disobedient! What do you want to do? Isn't it just to take half of your tattered roast chicken and kill an ignorant thief! What's the big deal! I warn you, get out of the way of me, dare to touch a single hair of our hair, and sue your lord for your head! Hmmm......"

"Wanton snatching! Assault kills! Military law is intolerable! Do you think you're still gone? The Black Mountain thief saw that his words seemed to have played a role, and from the Youzhou soldier circle that surrounded him, he separated a road like a tide, but before the threat of the Black Mountain thief who thought that the Youzhou soldier was instigated because of his words was finished, he suddenly found that he couldn't speak, and his eyes actually saw the frightened look on his face from an extremely incredible angle. When the thief heard the last words full of faint coercion, he knew nothing...... (To be continued......)
