"General, there is Wu'an in front, it's getting dark, do we want to rest here." The vanguard general Zhang Xun came to Yuan Shaozhongjun quickly, and said with his fists clenched.

"Have you arrived in Wu'an? Let's take a break. Yuan Shu nodded in agreement after hearing this.

He knew that after Wu'an, he was Shexian, where he was at the forefront of the army, and he was about to face Zhang Chao's army, and before the war, cultivating his spirit was one of the indispensable preparations.

Yuan Shu gave the order, and the 100,000 army was not moving forward, but going straight in the direction of Wu'an.

Wu'an is the western gateway of Jizhou, and it is also a big city here, with more than 30,000 households and more than 100,000 people in the city. When Yuan Shu arrived here with a large army, the officials here hurriedly came out to greet him, and at the same time contributed the prepared food one by one for the army to replenish military supplies.

Compared with Zhang Chao's early preparations, this time Yuan Shao was in a hurry to meet the battle, and he did not have much preparation in terms of military supplies, especially grain and grass. After all, no one would have thought that Zhang Chao would suddenly attack Yuan Shao, and he would be a heavy soldier.

But fortunately, everything is a local operation, and the grain transportation distance is short, so there will be no major problems. It's just that in this way, it is really bitter for the people of Jizhou, who have already paid taxes, but because of the war, they have to hand over next year's in advance, which is undoubtedly a lot of burden for many people who only have enough food and clothing.

To say that Yuan Shao also knows that this is to accumulate a certain amount of public anger, but he really can't control so much now, all he can do is to block the iron hooves of Zhang Chao's army first, saying that at least the suffering of the people, as long as he has food and drink, how can he manage so much?

As a result, the living standards of the people in Jizhou have dropped by more than half, especially in cities like Wu'an, which are not rich, and the people are even more miserable.

In this regard, Yuan Shu, like his brother Yuan Shao, only thinks about his own interests from being infringed upon, and rarely takes into account the thoughts of the people. Just like this time, as soon as he arrived in Wu'an, he asked the officials here to bring out the best food, saying that it was to ensure that the army had enough strength to fight.

Yuan Shu's character is often turned his face and does not recognize people, which the officials of Jizhou do not know, even if he gives such an order, the officials in charge of Wu'an have to do it, which loots the people in the city again, causing more public resentment.

It's just that these people also know that as a vulnerable group, all they can do is scold themselves in their hearts, and they don't dare to say that they resist. They will not be unaware that there are 100,000 Yuan Shao's troops inside and outside the city, and if they are angered, they are afraid that their lives will be lost.

And after the Wu'an officials sent good food and drink, Yuan Shu immediately ordered the three armies to be put down, he had to work hard for the army, and he wanted to let his soldiers eat the best, so that they could have the strength to fight and win the war.

That night, the 100,000 army had a good meal, and even everyone was given a bottle of hero drunk, which made many soldiers grateful for General Yuan Shu's actions, after all, even if he died in a battle tomorrow, at least he would not be a starving ghost.

After Yuan Shu took his own soldiers around, he saw many soldiers looking at him with a grateful look, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart, he was very proud of his hand, and he was happy, so he waved his hand and said to his soldiers: "Let's go, let's go eat too, don't get drunk tonight, hahaha." ”

"If you don't get drunk, you won't return." All the relatives and soldiers shouted happily, and followed Yuan Shu towards the direction of the Chinese army's tent.

On this night, the 100,000 soldiers had a full meal, and even many soldiers slept well under drunkenness.

But it's true that not everyone is like this, like in the camp tent of the partial general Li Feng, he is indeed a little overwhelmed by the food given by Yuan Shu in front of him.

Sitting opposite Li Feng was also a general in armor, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were shining, which showed that this person was also a powerful person, he was Liang Gang, an old subordinate of Yuan Shu who was the same general as Li Feng.

These two people have been with Yuan Shu for a long time, and they have both served under Ji Ling, and they were also promoted step by step by this person.

But all this, since Yuan Shu and Ji Ling were captured, the glory is gone, they are like children without their own mothers, and wherever they go, they have suffered the white eyes of others. Especially General Zhang Xun, who has won the trust of Yuan Shu, has always looked down on the two of them.

In the past, with the support of General Ji Ling, the two of them were not afraid of Zhang Xun. Especially at that time, this person was not yet powerful.

But now it's really different, people have become vanguard generals, and they have become the generals that Yuan Shu relies on the most, so in the future, this person has not given these two partial generals a lot of hardships, usually the soldiers they bring are the weakest, and what they eat and drink is also left by others.

It was as if tonight, the two generals Li Feng and Liang Gang and their subordinates had eaten and drunk far less than the other soldiers had eaten, and even worse, they were drunk by the separated heroes and even seeped water.

Most of the wine is mixed with water, otherwise not everyone has the same amount of wine that can accept the irrigation of the original wine. But when the wine is less than one-tenth of it, and the rest is water, the wine has no taste.

When the soldiers below reported that the wine was too unpleasant, Li Feng and Liang Gang were also speechless when they found out. At this time, they didn't dare to compare anything with Zhang Xun.

The big war is imminent, and as the person Yuan Shu relies on the most, the two of them know very well that if they are against this person now, there will definitely be no end.

"Well, maybe that's fate." After Li Feng sighed to himself, he picked up a piece of meat in front of the table and was about to chew it.

"Is Brother Li the one who accepts his fate?" Seeing Li Feng's actions, Liang Gang's somewhat fierce voice on the opposite side rang out.

This question made Li Feng's arm stop for a moment, but then he shook his head and said, "What can you do if you don't accept your fate, can you fight with that Zhang Xun?" Our strength is inferior to his, and if we do it, we will only suffer from it. And will Yuan Shu spare us? ”

Li Feng, who smiled bitterly, picked up the meat and stuffed it into his mouth, although this piece of meat is also delicious, but when he eats it in his mouth, it really doesn't taste at all, which obviously has a lot to do with people's mood.

Seeing Li Feng's uncomfortable expression, Liang Gang, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help frowning slightly, and then a happy color crossed the corner of his eyes. But no one in the account noticed it. "Brother Li, some people say that people's lives are predestined for their lives, but I really want to say that my lives are up to me, as long as we want to change, everything is possible."

"It's all possible, hehe, Brother Liang, don't laugh, do we have any future now? Tomorrow when I arrive in Shexian County, I will meet Zhang Chaojun, and at that time a big battle will be inevitable, and maybe the bones of you and my brothers will be buried here. While speaking, Li Feng shook his head again, and then with a force in his mouth, he bit all the food in his mouth.

At this moment, Li Feng was very decadent, which looked in Liang Gang's eyes, and he said: "Brother Li, you weren't like this before, when you followed General Ji, how righteous you were, but how did you become like this now?" ”

"Brother Liang, the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year. The present person said, General Ji is not here now, what is the use of saying this? Li Feng still had a wry smile on his face, and his mouth kept squirming after the words, obviously the piece of meat was not delicious, or he didn't taste it at all.

"Although General Ji is no longer here, he did not die in battle, on the contrary, I also heard that he is now like a fish in water with the general, and he has become a deputy army commander, and his troops are not more than tens of thousands." Liang Gang deliberately mentioned the current Ji Ling, and then his face was full of yearning.

Speaking of this, Li Feng over there was also shocked, "Is this true?" ”

"Naturally, it's true." Seeing that Li Feng became interested, Liang Gang hurriedly said.

At this moment, Li Feng's eyes obviously crossed a look of hope, but then the wave was suppressed, and he said with a wry smile, "General Ji is already Zhang Chao's subordinate, what is the use of talking about him now?" Come on, eat these things anyway, or you won't have the strength to make your way tomorrow. ”

"Brother Li." Seeing that Li Feng was in a state of self-abandonment, Liang Gang couldn't help but get up from his seat, then stretched out his right arm and pointed directly at the other party and said, "At that time, we were just a small soldier who had no food to eat, so he had to join the army. But at that time, the two of us did not have enough food and clothing, and our mental state was indeed very good, and we also fantasized that one day we could become generals and change our lives. But now, that we've really become generals, why aren't you as happy as you used to be? Why are you doing that? ”

Facing Liang Gang's accusation, Li Feng shook his head and said, "Why? Isn't it because our generals are not as happy as the soldiers? No one values us, even if we have made military merits, so what, aren't we going to make wedding dresses for others? If you don't grab this kind of credit, you said, do you think we can be a strong opponent of Zhang Chaojun? Or do you think Yuan Shu is someone you can rely on? Well, don't think about it so much, just live one day at a time. ”

After Li Feng expressed the bitterness in his heart, he shook his head and smiled bitterly and continued to eat the piece of meat in his mouth that had not been swallowed for half a day.

"One day at a time, is it necessary for us to live like this in this life? No, I'm not reconciled, and I'm sure General Ji will look down on us if he knows this. Liang Gang saw that Li Feng was still eating, and he couldn't help but be angry, stimulating the other party more deeply.
