It's been a long time since I've asked for a collection and a red ticket, so I'll ask for it again today. I hope you can collect it as much as possible, and those who have red tickets can vote for it every day

"Your Excellency, you're awake!"

The voice in his ears brought He Kegang's thoughts back to reality. When he opened his eyes, he saw that his own soldier Guo Yue was looking at him with concern, holding a bowl of steaming soup in his right hand.

Hungry, really hungry, if I'm not mistaken, I haven't eaten a drop of rice for four days.

The most painful thing for people is not the absence of spirit, nor death, but hunger.

If there is no consciousness, then he doesn't know what Lu Dao is hungry, but now, He Kegang finally knows what Lu Dao is hungry because he is conscious.

He is now a living person, not a corpse. Since it is human, of course it will be hungry.

Hunger is an indescribable feeling, if you have to describe it, then this feeling is like the stomach has been hollowed out, and it is like countless sharp knives scratching the stomach cavity, in short, it is a very painful taste, which can make people feel that life is worse than death.

I really couldn't stand the colic feeling in my stomach, looking at the steaming bowl of soup, He Kegang didn't think about anything, instinctively took it in his hand, held it to his mouth and opened his mouth to drink it.

He really needed something to eat, even if it was just a bowl of soup.

Suddenly, his whole person didn't move, his eyes looked directly at the thick soup in the bowl, and a strange and terrifying look appeared on his bloodless face, and he raised his head little by little, stared at Guo Yue, and spit out three words: "What meat?" ”

Guo Yue didn't answer his question, but turned his face to the side slightly, and said softly: "My lord, don't ask, eat, you really can't hold it if you don't eat anymore..."

"Eat?"

He Kegang smiled miserably, slowly put the bowl down, and then stretched out his right hand and pinched a thin bone in the bowl that was mostly boiled, but still connected with a little bit of flesh.

This is a human finger, although it is impossible to tell whether it is the middle finger or the index finger, but He Kegang can determine that this is the finger of a human being.

This is a bowl of human broth.

After putting his fingers down, He Kegang sighed lightly, he didn't want to reprimand Guo Yue with righteousness, but smiled bitterly and said to him: "If I eat it, how is it different from the beasts outside?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Yue turned his face around, and said with red eyes: "It's better than dying here." ”

"What is so terrible about death and death? When the Metropolitan Master died, I should have died, and I have lived to this day! ”

He Kegang was a little excited, he was not a brute, and he would not survive by eating the same kind of meat! Even if he died immediately, he wouldn't take a bite.

The price of excitement was a bit great, hunger had long made his body extremely empty, and he couldn't bear even the slightest impulse. After finishing speaking, He Kegang felt dizzy, as if the sky and the earth were upside down, and he fell under the bed in an instant. With a "bang", the bowl of human broth also knocked over to the ground.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

Guo Yue was so frightened that he hurriedly went to help him, but he himself was so hungry that his chest was close to his abdomen, where did he have the strength to help He Kegang, who was much taller than himself.

"Whew... Whew..."

He Kegang's mouth couldn't stop panting, and his heart was beating hard. Panic, his heart was very panicked, and his chest was also very depressed, and slowly, he found that he couldn't breathe. Not only that, but the lower part of the heart in the left chest also began to cramp, and with every breath, the heart hurt terribly.

But I don't know what the starving ghost will do in the next life?

Can you still be a human being?

In a trance, He Kegang vaguely saw several figures rushing in, and then he heard them shouting continuously, but he couldn't hear them anymore.

Finally, his eyes went black again, and he didn't know anything.

It feels so good to die.

…………

He Kegang did not die, and when he opened his eyes again, there were a few more people in the tent, it was the deputy generals Liu Yuying, Dou Mingde, and the generals Hu Hongxian and Xiao Yongzuo.

"General He is awake, General He is awake!"

Seeing He Kegang wake up, everyone in the tent breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Yue hurriedly put the remaining half bowl of horse broth towards He Kegang's mouth.

Smelling the fragrant smell, He Kegang had no appetite at all, but changed color, shook his head firmly, and flatly refused: "I said, I don't want to be a beast!" ”

Adjutant General Liu Yuying hurriedly said: "General He, this is not human flesh, it is horse meat!" ”

"Horse meat?"

He Kegang was stunned, looked at the bowl, and still said with some disbelief: "The city has been out of food for several days, and the war horses have already been killed, how can there be horse meat?" Don't scold me, go quickly. ”

Dou Mingde reminded: "General He, it is indeed horse meat, Zu Shuai's green dragon horse, have you forgotten?" ”

General Hu Hongxian also said: "General Zhilu Dao has not eaten for a few days, and Zu Shuai specially asked someone to send it. ”

"Yes, my lord, this bowl is really horse meat, they didn't lie to you, just when you fainted, the little one had already fed you half a bowl." Guo Yue was very happy in his heart, and after half a bowl of broth, the adult was really much more energetic.

Zu Dashou's green dragon horse, He Kegang has seen it, this horse is Chongzhen's royal horse rewarded by Chongzhen when Zu Dashou led the army back to the Guannai in the second year of Chongzhen, so Zu Dashou attaches great importance to this horse and has never been willing to kill it. Now, Zu Dashou has killed this imperial horse rewarded by the emperor, but it can be imagined that Da Linghe has reached the last moment.

Originally, it was estimated that the grain and grass in the city could last for more than a month, but unexpectedly, the more than 10,000 people were missing, and the grain was eaten up as early as the end of last month.

There is no food, and the city has to be defended, so the soldiers can't be hungry, so Zu Dashou ordered to slaughter war horses to satisfy hunger.

More than 4,000 war horses can last for a while, but the total number of soldiers and civilians is nearly 40,000, and they can top it in three or five days, and after ten and a half days, the horse meat is also eaten up.

There was no food, no horse meat, not even cats and dogs, the living creatures had already been caught and filled into their stomachs, and even the forage that was originally fed to the horses was eaten up, and tens of thousands of people were trapped alive in this Dalinghe City on empty stomachs. It is really called that the heavens should not be right, and the earth is not spiritual.

For one day, two days, everyone tried their best to wait for reinforcements to arrive soon, but as the days passed, they could no longer hear the sound except for the sound of artillery fire heard from the side of the Xiaoling River a few days ago.

Desperate, looking at the dense trenches outside the city and the camp tents of the Jin army, the soldiers and civilians fell into despair, and they knew that no one would come to save them. The only way to save yourself is to kill - eat the flesh of your fellow comrades and fill your stomach!

The first to be killed were those Liaodong people who thought that they could not be taken captive by Jiannu by relying on the army, and the first to kill people and eat meat was the general Han Daxun, who was the general of Zu Dashou.
