another month later

Liaodong County

Wuyou County

"Where's the food? Where's my food?"

Peng Chong yelled at the grain transport officer, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, obviously extremely angry.

His 1-strong army has been attacking Wuli County for more than two months, and it is almost over, but the food and grass carried by the army has been exhausted as early as last month.

This month, they barely survived by eating horse meat and robbing the rations of the people in western Liaoning.

The Liaodong people around Wuwu County have long been relocated to the interior of Liaodong by the Li family of Liaodong. This is called Jianbi Qingye.

The Yuyang army, unable to supplement food and grass by robbing local people, had to rob its allies in western Liaoning, burning, killing and looting wantonly in western Liaoning.

As the saying goes, the passing of soldiers is like a comb, and the passing of bandits is like a grate.

The army of this era is slightly better than the bandits, and military discipline is a very magical and strange thing to them.

Peng Chong's original plan was to slaughter a few cities in Liaodong to reward his soldiers, but now that he can't even take down Wuwu County in Liaodong, there is no way to slaughter Liaodong.

Since there is no way to massacre Liaodong, it is impossible not to massacre. After all, if soldiers keep fighting without gaining anything, it is easy to mutiny.

Once there is a mutiny in the army, it is terrible, and he, the coach, will be torn to pieces by the mutiny soldiers.

What's more, it's still a group of troops who are fighting hungry and have no military discipline?

If I can't grab Liaodong, I can't grab you Liaoxi?

Under such circumstances, Liaoxi County, an ally of Yuyang County, suffered disaster. It was ransacked by the army of its allies. A large number of villagers were slaughtered, and countless girls were dragged to the barracks to be humiliated.

In the coalition army, many soldiers in western Liaoning were very angry. They always wanted to rebel because they hated these so-called allies who slaughtered their fellow villagers.

However, the number of soldiers in western Liaoning is scarce, and they cannot afford strong winds and waves.

Whether the military discipline of the army is good or not depends on where he fought.

Generally speaking, the military discipline of the local army is quite good. After all, everyone is from the same village. If you don’t look up and look down, it’s too much to rob your fellow villagers. If you still make your fellow villagers into military food, you will suffer even more Damn.

But if you are going to fight in other places, then you can't control so much.

Anyway, those who hurt are foreigners, not fellow villagers, and I don’t know you well, why are you being kind to you, thinking I have too much money?

Once the local army is dispatched to fight in other places, it will be like bandits. They will rob whatever they see, burn, kill, loot, and rape young girls. In fact, they are considered benevolent. After all, there are still people who directly massacre the city.

This world is like that.

The barbarians and foreigners are robbing the people, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are robbing the people, the powerful private soldiers are robbing the people, the rebel army is robbing the people, the bandits and rangers are also robbing the people, and even the people are robbing the people.

This is the troubled times, not the high spirits of the emperors and princes, not the guidance of the generals and officers, not the chatting and laughing of the literati, but the blood and tears of countless common people.

Where did so much snow, moon, wind and flowers come from, where did so many tender feelings come from, it was just the misery of countless low-level people.

Otherwise, some insurgents with a better style would not be able to unfurl the banner of "suppressing the soldiers and calming the people", and this would win the support of the people.

In the face of troubled times, some people choose to create a piece of heaven, bring the world back into unity, and let the people end their suffering early, but some people choose to cover up the cruelty of the troubled times, saying that the troubled times are not so dark, and there will not be so many bloody and brutal things occur.

Covering up the cruelty of the troubled times will not reduce the pain of the people in the troubled times.

On the contrary, those who can fight early, unify early, end the war early, and allow the people to recuperate early can be called holy kings, such as Han Gaodi Liu Bang.

If troubled times are not cruel and dark, then what's the point of ending them?What is the meaning of the world of peace?Didn't the emperors and generals who ended the troubled times become a joke?

"Damn Liaodong, take Wuyou, I will slaughter the whole city!"

Facing Wuli County, which was unable to defend and blocked them from entering the Liaodong passage, Wu Han gritted his teeth with hatred. He swore that once he invaded Liaodong, he would have to be massacred in Liaodong, so that he could vent his anger.

Peng Chong looked at Wu Han, but didn't say anything, he was also irritated by Wuwu City, which refused to surrender.

However, just as the generals in the military tent were still thinking about how to solve the problem of insufficient food and grass and the problem of being unable to attack the city.

"Damn it, why is it porridge again today, and a bowl of porridge is full of water, only a few grains of rice!"

"Aren't we running out of food? If we don't have food, we should quickly withdraw our troops and go home. Don't waste time."

"If you don't feed me, I will kill you!"

"This is the general's request. Put less rice and more water. What's the use of you getting angry at me? Damn it!"

"What? The general's request? Are we really out of food?"

boom!
The hungry soldiers were arguing endlessly in the barracks. If they were not given food, there was a high probability that they would mutiny on the spot.

If you want to stop the mutiny of the army, it is useless to instill loyalty, patriotism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. It can only make soldiers gain benefits. This benefit can be paid on the spot. Soldiers massacre cities, or lead soldiers to burn, kill, and loot. In short, the purpose is to let the soldiers gain real benefits, and they cannot be allowed to come here for nothing, let alone naively think that the actual problems can be solved by giving them chicken soup for the soul. .

The cook fought with the soldiers, and the rice porridge (boiling water) in the cauldron was pushed to the ground, and the bubbling hot water spilled all over the ground.

"Damn things!"

Peng Chong came outside the big tent and scolded the hungry soldiers who made trouble.

The hungry soldiers froze for a moment, startled by Peng Chong's sudden scolding.

The long-term relationship between superiority and inferiority made them afraid of generals, but the reality of being hungry made them pluck up the courage to glare at Peng Chong, wanting Peng Chong to give them an explanation, explaining why they have been giving them gruel (boiling water) ).

Looking at the angry eyes of the soldiers, Peng Chong pondered for a long time, but he didn't know how to explain it. After all, he personally ordered the cook to add a few grains of rice to the boiling water, and then serve the soldiers as porridge.

At this moment, Wu Han was quick-witted and explained to the soldiers: "There is no such thing. The general has always loved everyone and wanted everyone to eat and drink. As for making everyone drink porridge... um... drink water , It’s all on the cook’s own initiative.”

After all, without waiting for the cook to explain, Wu Han pointed at the cook and ordered to his own soldiers: "Come here, take down this corrupt criminal who embezzled the army food!"

"No!" A few soldiers held the cook directly. They understood Wu Han's meaning, so they covered the cook's mouth with their hands to prevent the cook from defending himself, and finally dragged the cook into the commander's tent.

"We will interrogate where he has embezzled the military rations. Don't worry, Mr. Peng and I are both benevolent, kind, and loving people who love the soldiers and the people. We will definitely give you a bright future!" Wu Han resolved the crisis in time, and then A group of soldiers returned to the commander's tent with dubious eyes.

"Why did the general frame me? You and the Fujun asked me to add a few grains of rice to the boiling water, and then serve it to the soldiers as gruel." In the military tent, the cook was crying, he was very puzzled, why he followed the general's order He did it, but was framed by the general for embezzling military rations.

"Alas..." Wu Han sighed, and then said to the cook: "I want to borrow one of your things, I hope you will not be stingy."

"Borrow...things?" The cook was puzzled, looked at Wu Han and Peng Chong with puzzled eyes, and asked, "What do you want to borrow?"

Wu Han looked at the few soldiers on the side, and signaled to them that they were ready to subdue the cook at any time, and then smiled kindly at the cook: "I will use your head on your neck."

"What?!" The cook turned pale with fright. He didn't expect that the general would not only frame him for corruption, but also behead him. I have to feed, I am dead, my family will starve to death, woo woo woo—"

At this time, Wu Han smiled boldly: "I will take care of your wife, don't worry about it!"
