Near Puzi City, less than 100 steps away from the main military camp of the Luoyang Army, a new military camp rose from the ground.

This army was far more numerous than the Luoyang Army, but their tents were pitiful. When the Montenegrin army goes out, it has always been a camp, and it will not use tents at all. In addition to the tents being used by the officers and soldiers, there are only two or three hundred tents that can support the Montenegrin army.

Even so, the soldiers in the camp of the Montenegrin army were still jubilant, because in their camp, clay pots of corn were boiling on the beating bonfires.

The water in the clay pot boiled and made a "gurgling" sound, and the corn was still undercooked, but it was already filled with a rich aroma.

The soldiers of the Montenegrin army dressed in various colors looked at the steaming white steaming clay pot one by one, and many of them even showed impatient looks, if it weren't for the fact that their companions hadn't moved, they would probably have rushed to the clay pot, scooped up the half-cooked corn and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Your Highness is here!" Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were staring at the food as it was cooked, and a shout came from inside the barracks.

Hearing this, all the soldiers turned their heads and looked in the direction from which the shout was made.

What appeared in front of the officers and soldiers of the Montenegrin Army was Liu Wei leading Deng Zhan and Guan Hai, escorted by eight dragoons, into the gate and towards the barracks.

Yu Xuan, who was watching a group of soldiers cooking food, heard this shout, hurriedly stood up, and walked quickly towards Liu Wei and the others.

When he saw that Liu Wei had only brought ten people to the barracks, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Without a large number of guards, Liu Wei dared to come to this army, which was still his enemy before, obviously no longer regarded them as outsiders.

Stunned for a moment, Yu Xuan quickly ran to Liu Bian, hugged his fists and bowed, and said to Liu Bian with endless gratitude in his tone: "The night is dark, Your Highness has not rested, and if you come here, you will be terrified." ”

"General Yu, don't be polite!" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei waved his hand at Yu Poison and said to him: "I heard that the army is cooking, and this king also feels a little hungry in his stomach, so he has come to beg for food. It's going to bother the generals and soldiers! ”

While the two were talking, tens of thousands of Montenegrin troops who had just followed Liu Wei with poison had already formed a neat line under the command of several officers, and looked at Liu Wei with a pair of eyes.

Looking at Liu Wei, the Black Mountain Army who took refuge in them all showed admiration in their eyes.

Fighting against the Luoyang army, they have been in rout and have never pulled back a single defeat. Just when they were hungry and almost desperate, Liu Wei generously took them in.

Accompanied by Yu Yao and several Montenegrin Army officers, Liu Wei walked towards the large array of tens of thousands of Montenegrin troops.

When he arrived at the big array, he raised his arm and waved to the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army.

Liu Wei raised his arm, and Yu Xuan, who was standing behind him, immediately raised a fist high and shouted at the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army: "Your Highness is mighty!" ”

"Your Highness is mighty!" Tens of thousands of Montenegrin troops followed Yu Poison and let out a neat shout.

The majestic shout pierced the night and spread in all directions.

"Soldiers! This king has a message that I want to ask you! Raising his arms and pressing his hands twice on the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army, Liu Wei shouted to them: "Are you willing to follow this king to conquer the battlefield, or are you willing to return to Sangtian, marry a daughter-in-law, and go to live that leisurely life?" ”

Hearing Liu Wei shouting like this, all the Montenegrin troops, including Yu Poison, were stunned.

They looked at each other one by one, and they didn't know why Liu Wei would ask such a sentence.

Seeing that no one responded in the Black Mountain Army array, Liu Wei maintained a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to them: "The first emperor lost his morality and allowed the eunuch party to control the government, so that Han Zuo was ruined. You were also forced by the imperial court to rise up. ”

Liu Wei suddenly said the words "the first emperor lost his morality", which made the soldiers of the Montenegrin army panic in their hearts.

Yu Poison, who was standing behind Liu Bian, was nervous, hurriedly bent his legs, knelt on the ground with a "poof", looked up at Liu Bian, and said to him: "Your Highness, we were bewitched by the Yellow Turban and became thieves. From today onwards, we will follow Your Highness, even if we are crushed to pieces, we will never give up! ”

As soon as Yu Poison knelt, all the Montenegrin troops knelt down, bowed down one by one, and shouted in unison: "I am willing to follow His Highness to the death, shatter my bones, and never give up!" ”

As soon as the officers and men of the Montenegrin Army knelt down, Liu Wei suddenly understood. They must have misinterpreted him. He first helped up Yu Xuan, who was kneeling on the side, and then knelt towards the black press, and the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army, who could not see the end at a glance, raised his hand and shouted to them: "Soldiers, please get up, when this king finishes speaking, you will not be too late to kneel again!" ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, tens of thousands of Montenegrin soldiers looked at each other with puzzled faces, and they all stood up hesitantly.

"The world is restless, and the fields are barren!" When all the soldiers of the Montenegrin army stood up, Liu Wei said to them: "What this king needs is not only warriors who can fight well, but also countless diligent farmers. If the fields are left uncultivated, who will supply the army with rations? ”

"When Puzi City is captured, this king will set up an estate for some of you and others. Isn't it beautiful that the chosen people will return to the fields and houses assigned to various places and live the days of their wives and children on the hot kang? The officers and soldiers of the Montenegrin Army still had heavy doubts on their faces, and Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to them: "As for the soldiers who will stay in the army, it is good to follow this king and protect the Han Sheji with this king." This king has nothing else, that is, he will not be stingy with the soldiers! Officers and soldiers in the army, enough food and food, enough meat and food, and enough copper coins! Those who have meritorious deeds will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds! The official who should be crowned an official, and the woman who should be given a woman! How about you waiting? ”

Liu Wei said a lot of reasoning, and the faces of the soldiers of the Montenegrin army were full of confusion. It wasn't until he said the last sentence that the eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers radiated a strange look, and they shouted in unison: "Okay!" ”

"Eat!" After tens of thousands of people responded in unison, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the corn rice that was cooking on the nearby bonfire, felt that the corn was almost cooked, raised his arm, waved to the soldiers of the Montenegrin army, and shouted loudly.

After receiving Liu Wei's order to eat, tens of thousands of people cheered in unison, and the queue immediately dispersed, and they ran towards the already cooked meal.

In addition to corn, there was also a lot of meat to be sent to the barracks.

The soldiers ran to the campfires where they were cooking, and scrambled to bring corn from clay pots. In addition to the corn, each of them was given two pieces of fatty pork.

The Montenegrin army, who was already hungry and panicked, and didn't even have a little oil and water in their stomachs, could still care about fat and greasy. After the meal was served, they pulled the corn and munched on the fatty meat. One by one, they ate with their mouths full of oil, shaking their heads.

"Your Highness!" There was a smile on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he was watching the soldiers eating, and Yu Xuan, who was still a little entangled on his face, whispered to him: "Dare to ask Your Highness, but do you really want the soldiers to unload their armor and return to the field?" ”

"Not all!" Hearing Yu Yao's question, Liu Wei turned his face to look at him, lowered his voice and said to him: "The Black Mountain Army is composed of poor villagers, and there are many old and weak among them. The king wants to cut out the old and the weak, and wants them to return to the countryside and live a peaceful life, so that there will be more labor in the fields, and the barren land will be reclaimed. As for the battlefield, only the elite soldiers are needed, and the old and weak are in the army, but they are just a number of people, and when they fight, they have no courage, but it will affect the real elite. ”

"Oh!" Liu Bian's explanation made Yu Poison Mao stop, he clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply to Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness is thoughtful, but the last general didn't expect it. ”

"The officers and soldiers who remain in the army will also be resettled differently at that time!" Chao Yu Poison smiled slightly, Liu Wei added, and then reached out to put his arm around Yu Poison's shoulder, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said to him: "This king hasn't eaten yet, you and I only care about talking, this king is already hungry in his belly!" ”

was hugged by Liu Bian's shoulders, Yu Poison was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Biangui to be the king of Luoyang, and he would be so intimate with him. I was moved in my heart, and I heard Liu Wei say that he hadn't eaten yet, so he didn't dare to delay at all, so Yu Poison hurriedly shouted to a few soldiers nearby: "Hurry up, serve a meal for His Highness and a few generals!" ”

When the soldiers heard Yu Poison's shout, they hurriedly responded, found a clean pottery bowl, wiped it again and again, and wiped it until the pottery bowl was smooth and shiny, and then added food to Liu Wei and the others.

Since the Montenegrin army had been hungry for several days, Liu Wei considered that there was too much lean fiber and was worried that the soldiers would eat too much, which would not be good, so he asked people to send more fat meat to nourish them with some oil and water.

Several soldiers served meals for Liu Wei and Deng Zhan and others, and they were worried that they would not have enough meat, so in each of them, at least more than ten pieces of white fat meat were placed in their bowls.

He took the meal from the soldier who was half-kneeling in front of him and holding the pottery bowl high in both hands, and looked at the bowl full of fat meat, Liu Wei's appetite had already faded by half.

He turned his head to look at Yu Poison on the side, smiled at Yu Poison with some embarrassment and said, "This king doesn't like to eat fatty meat too much, so share these meats with the soldiers." This king has only one piece left, and it is enough. ”

Liu Wei said this, but he just wanted to distribute the fat meat, but the words were in the poisonous ears, but they had a different taste.

Looking at Liu Bian, there were flickering tears in Yu Poison's eyes, and he choked up and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness loves soldiers like sons, and he would rather not eat meat, but also share meat among the soldiers. Strange Dao Luoyang army is invincible, if we wait to kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future, how can we be worthy of His Highness's kindness! ”

Yu Poison's words stunned Liu Bian, he didn't expect that he just thought that the fat meat was too greasy, and he wanted to give the meat to others to eat, but it would make Yu Poison feel these feelings.

"Soldiers!" Without waiting for Liu Wei to speak, Yu Poison, whose eyes were still flashing with tears, shouted to the officers and soldiers of the Montenegrin Army who were gobbling up food in the barracks: "Meat in the army is precious, and we all know it. His Royal Highness said that he would share the meat in the bowl with the soldiers, how can you repay such kindness? ”

When he shouted, Yu Poison's voice was choked. The words were heard in the ears of the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army, and they were like steel needles piercing their hearts.

After so many years of fighting, it is rare for them to be able to eat a full meal, even if they have meat, they are divided by generals and officers, ordinary soldiers, how can they be contaminated with the slightest bit of meat?

Serving Liu Wei and being able to eat meaty meals, the officers and men of the Montenegrin Army were already inexplicably moved in their hearts. Liu Wei wanted to give up the fat in the bowl, which made tens of thousands of Black Mountain soldiers feel that the king of Luoyang loved them so much.

Listening to Yu Xuan's words, the officers and men of the Montenegrin Army were moved and excited, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. Everyone had a pride that would rather be broken into pieces than abandon the king of Luoyang.

"I'll die to serve Your Highness!" There was silence in the barracks for a moment, and after a while, the officers and men of the Montenegrin Army who had recovered from the emotion stood up one after another, put the rice bowl in their hands on the ground, bent their legs and knelt down, bowed to the ground, and even someone was moved to cry out "Woo", and shouted in unison: "Be a soldier of Your Highness alive, and die a ghost of Your Highness!" ”
