Chapter 291: The Evil of Human Nature
The two of them turned their heads in amazement, and saw a big rock like a mountain smashing down from the clouds with lightning speed!
"Oh my god!"
Han Qingyong was so desperate that he turned around and ran away with his head in his hands, forgetting even his pants.
Chen Xinyi saw that Han Qingyong ran for her life first, and she didn't care whether she lived or died, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and in a hurry, she used stealth techniques to avoid the mountain-like boulder!
Just listen to "Boom! With a bang, the boulder smashed firmly into the bed they had just stood on, smashing a large hole into the ground.
If they hadn't escaped quickly, they would have been reduced to two pieces of meat by now.
For a time, the earth shook and the smoke and dust rose.
The sudden violent shaking turned the iron pot with the horse meat boiling upside down!
The horse meat that the soldiers of Western Chu fought for their lives was all detained in the mud, covered with mud and dust, and could not be swallowed.
But even so, the Western Chu soldiers, who were tormented by hunger and went crazy, were stunned for a moment, and they all flocked to the ground, grabbing the horse meat scattered on the ground, and stuffing it into their mouths when they were hungry......
Han Qingyong ran away before he stopped in shock, and when he looked back and saw this scene, his mind was blank.
He looked at the Yin Yang Ding suspended in mid-air in a daze, and saw it sway in mid-air, turning into a streamer and disappearing in an instant!
"Chen Xinyi! What the hell are you doing? You come out for me! ”
Han Qingyong was stunned for a long time, came back to his senses, and was furious.
Chen Xinyi refused to show her face, and went into her previous camp tent to find clothes to wear.
Han Qingyong waited for a long time, but he didn't see Chen Xinyi's figure, his body was cold, he looked down, and suddenly felt embarrassed, so he hurriedly got into a camp tent nearby, and randomly found a piece of clothing to put on his body.
When Han Qingyong walked out of the camp, the soldiers had already stopped fighting, and stood in a mess like a plate of loose sand, looking at him with a complicated expression.
The entire Chu camp was dead silent for a while.
On the ground, the corpses of soldiers who had died in the battle were scattered, each covered in bruises, which was unbearable to look at.
Reason returns, and the living look at the tragic death, and all regret it.
They killed their comrades-in-arms who had lived and died with their own hands, and in the end they still couldn't get enough to eat.
The mud-stained horse meat was divided and eaten, and the most that was grabbed was a few pieces of meat, and the more was nothing, and they were hungry.
Even, those who tasted the taste of meat, because they were not full, felt even hungrier.
Anger and fear creep in, like a spark burning in the hearts of every survivor.
Han Qingyong saw resentment, despair, and hatred on the faces of the soldiers.
His heart sank fiercely, and he knew that if he didn't hurry up and do something to consolidate his position as king and maintain the authority of his marshal, these soldiers would most likely rise up in a group and cut him down under the sword!
Han Qingyong stepped onto the high platform and said boldly in a loud voice: "All the soldiers are brave and good warriors, and they are well-deserved heroes of my Western Chu Royal Clan!" This king is proud of you! You must believe that our predicament was caused by the third prince, who, in order to seek power and usurp the throne, made the household department and the official department cut off our supply! When we are triumphant, we will use his life to comfort the heroic souls who died in vain today! ”
Yes, if it weren't for the three princes to get in the way, if they had enough food and grass for the army, why would this be the case?
The soldiers listened silently and transferred their hatred to the three princes.
Han Qingyong saw that the soldiers were no longer hateful and cold when they looked at him, and he was secretly happy but silent, and shouted loudly: "Those lying on the ground are our good brothers, and when we are dying, they will be our rations for hunger!" ”
As soon as Han Qingyong's words fell, all the soldiers gasped and looked at Han Qingyong in surprise.
As a commander-in-chief, he even let them eat his companions, is this what he instigated them to kill each other?
Seeing that the emotions of the soldiers were stirring again, Han Qingyong shouted again: "We who are alive are invincible and strong, we must live bravely for our dead brothers!" Instead of letting their corpses rot and feed on the mouses, it is better to fill our stomachs with their flesh and blood and boost our fighting spirit with their spirits! Shame and courage, we must kill all the enemy soldiers in Xiangcheng and avenge our dead brothers! ”
These words were contagious and incendiary, and they succeeded in convincing the soldiers who were suffering from hunger.
Or, someone has long thought of such a cruel method, but conscience does not allow them to say it and act on it.
But now this layer of window paper has been pierced by Han Qingyong, who has a supreme position and authority in the army, and what he said is a military order.
Military orders are like a mountain, and it becomes natural for them to do even the most ridiculous things, and it is justified to do even the most cruel things.
Live bravely for your dead brothers!
What a high-sounding excuse?
Under this pretext, all that is hidden is the evil of selfish and ugly human nature!
But in order to live, no one asks questions or opposes it, because no one wants to be killed or starved to death.
"Brave and fearless soldiers, they are not informal. Cheer up and be full of faith in victory! This king tells you that it is false for this king to go to Xiangcheng to surrender, and it is true to unite with Chen Zhendong, the fourth prince of Da Chen! Chen Zhendong had dealings with this king before, and he would send us military rations and grass. As long as we work together to survive these most difficult days, we will definitely be able to break through Xiangcheng and level the Imperial City of Dachen! When the time comes, we will have wine and wine, meat and meat, and beautiful women and beautiful women! This king and all the soldiers share blessings and hardships, and will never break their promises! ”
Han Qingyong reassured the soldiers.
I see, so it is very good.
If you want to survive and win the battle, right now, you can only do what Han Qingyong said.
The soldiers chose silence and compromise, and began to drag those soldiers who died or were seriously injured and could not recover to the room......
The crisis was resolved.
Han Qingyong breathed a long sigh of relief.
He looked around, and in the deep twilight, the entire Chu camp seemed to have experienced a catastrophe, with people on their backs and corpses all over the field.
The fierce fighting made many people vent their depression for many days, and also made them tired, and they went back to the camp one after another to rest, and quieted down.
Han Qingyong looked at the general who had been sucked dry by Chen Xinyi before.
Perhaps, it was only when he saw Chen Xinyi's actions that he remembered such a hurtful method......
He retracted his gaze and walked to the camp where Chen Xinyi was before.
Sure enough, Chen Xinyi sat on the bed, wringing her fingers uneasily, watching him come in, and said embarrassedly, "I didn't know it would be like this...... I ......"
Han Qingyong walked over wordlessly and took her into his arms.
Now, the only person he can snuggle up to is Chen Xinyi.
Even if he doesn't like her, even if she is demonic, but fate made such an arrangement by mistake and tied him to her, then he will do his best from now on and obey the destiny of heaven.
"This king doesn't blame you. From today on, you are truly the woman of this king, and in the future, we will have blessings and pleasures, and we will share difficulties and difficulties. ”
Han Qingyong said half-truthfully.
Chen Xinyi also listened in disbelief.
At the moment when the boulder fell, they flew separately when they were still in trouble.
Is there a problem? Who will believe him?
However, since he said so, it was always good for her.
Anyway, she has nowhere to go for the time being, at least there are the blood sheep she needs in this Chu camp......
A grim smile appeared on Chen Xinyi's lips.
The two quietly hugged each other, as if they were dependent on each other, but in fact, they each had ghosts......
