Chapter 156: Hungry

The army of 5,000 quintals of grain and grass was frugal, and it only took three days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the sentry post not far from the camp, two men sat on the ground back to back, their faces were a little yellow, and they were sitting on the ground weakly, and the spears in their hands had become their crutches at the moment, and the two of them looked like old men of seventy or eighty, with soft bones.

"Niu Er, I'm so hungry, I have no food and grass, how can I live in the future?" The slightly chubby man's helmet was worn crookedly on his head, his two eyes looked at the sky, his eyes were in a trance, he tilted his head slightly, and asked the man sitting on his back.

The man named Niu Er took a deep breath and pouted in the direction of the camp, "What can I do, Dashuai will definitely have a way, it's useless for us to care about these things, just right, take this opportunity to give your kid weight loss, otherwise how can your little daughter-in-law stand it, you are so heavy, you have to crush others." ”

Zhao Hu showed a lewd smile on his face, and cast a look, you know.

Speaking of his daughter-in-law, Niu Er looked up at the clear blue sky, his eyes full of longing.

"Ah Hua, now our son should be five years old, I guess, my son must be more like me, with big shoulders and a round waist, he will definitely be able to please a good wife in the future, and when I finish this battle, I will go back, and then our family of three will be happy." ”

"Okay, okay, Lao Tzu is still a single, when I finish the war and go home, I must ask for a wife, if my wife gives birth to a son, we will let them be brothers, if it is a daughter, then we will set a baby parent, how about it?" Niu Er ruffian was ruffian and sat lazily on the ground.

Zhao Hu's face was full of excitement, and he immediately agreed.

Niu Er stretched out his hand into his arms and took out two pieces of jade from his arms, which were not as clear as the usual jade, but the impurities were very distinct, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a stone, but it was in the shape of two halves, and they were just combined into one.

"These are the two pieces of jade that my ancestors handed down, although the quality is not good, but it is also a little heart, you and I have a piece, and I will give it to them in the future, so there is a token. ”

Zhao Hu, who was full of meat, was also not polite, and took it and put it in his arms.

The two of them were on duty at the gate, and the soldiers who came and went in and out looked sick, weak, and lazy, and the spears in their hands became their crutches.

The two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the barracks of the Huotou Army were surrounded by a dense crowd, and the four long dragon-like teams had already been lined up, and the sickly sergeants kept looking inside.

On weekdays, it was time for the meal at this time, and a dozen or so fireheads would bring out a few large cauldrons, which were steaming meals.

However, don't talk about the pot now, I haven't even seen a figure.

Although the soup is low in water these days, not to mention the fragrant meat dishes, there is also a steamed bun and a bowl of clear soup.

Time passed bit by bit, and the four long dragon-like teams began to be a little restless, all of them scolding.

"Why don't you cook yet, I'm really starving grandpa!"

"What are the fireheads doing with this stick, this meal is getting worse and worse day by day, but today there are no more people. ”

......

The people in the back gradually crowded to the front, and slowly the crowds crowded, at first there were only a few hundred people, and more and more sergeants continued to join in the back, and then a thousand, three thousand, five thousand......

A torrent obscured the sky, the sound was noisy and disorderly, and a restlessness spread slowly through the army from the center of the army like a plague.

Zhao Haochen sat in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, put down the books in his hand, and listened to the report of the people below.

Listening to this report one after another, a trace of sorrow appeared on his handsome face, and he muttered: "Tens of thousands of people have been thrown in, according to my expectations, the speed should be faster than this, right, shouldn't it be so slow, is there something in the way?"

His brows were deeply furrowed, and he fell into melancholy.

"Go and check, why is this happening?" The gloomy face made Liu Cheng on the side a little scared, he had never met such a look from the helper, and he also knew that this matter was too serious, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurried down.

Although he also knew the seriousness of the matter, he couldn't help muttering a few words in his heart, does this still need to be checked, isn't it just a shortage of food and grass, as for this problem, it is not simple, even if the Tianji Pavilion is summoned.

Tianji Pavilion's intelligence work has gradually gained a reputation in the rivers and lakes, of course, there are still some limitations, as long as Tianqi and Huajing City want to know something about this organization, even if you do it with your wife a few times a night, it will give you a clear difference. Although it is slowly infiltrating the whole country, there is still a shortage of information.

After receiving the information, the messenger immediately made this matter a top priority.

There are three, six, nine and so on, and the things of the helper are always put first.

Thinking about the thousands of materials in his hand, he was a little surprised that there was no news about the grain and grass he asked for from the imperial court three days ago, although this grain and grass is not consumed by this army now, but how to be prepared. But now that the news has been discovered, the culprit Wang Xuan will have to pay the price.

"A newly appointed secretary of the little soldier department dared to detain my grain and grass and bring him to me, I want to meet him!"

After Zhao Haochen finished speaking, he continued to look down at the thick information in his hand, and after a while, he picked out five hundred copies and threw them aside.

"These 500 people were beheaded by the cholera army for public display, as for these 300 people, keep them for now, they are still useful. ”

He took out 300 documents separately and set them aside.

Liu Cheng stood aside, his face full of worry could not be concealed, he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, swallowed it back, and then turned to leave.

He knew that the helper's orders were unquestionable, but he was still worried.

Just when the people were panicking, five hundred heads fell to the ground, and if it was not good, it would cause a mutiny, but he still did it.

As the sun set, hundreds of sergeants escorted five hundred people, all of them tied up with flowers, and one by one the heads kept rolling down to the ground, blood stained the earth red, and the cold wind blew coldly, like a fool's howl.

The air was mixed with a strong smell of blood, and the sky above the barracks was a blood-red, reflecting the setting sun, as if the world was soaked in blood.

The barracks were slaughtered, but under the bleak night sky, there were countless figures scurrying back and forth.
