Chapter 284: Serving the Soldiers

In the morning, a light appeared in the sky.

Under Zhang Liao's arrangement, the luggage team that crossed Wenshui overnight began to deliver meals to the battalions.

Since the number of people in each battalion is different, the number of the most is tens of thousands, and the few are only 2,000, so the number of handymen assigned is also different——

After joining together, Lu Li and Lu Bu were in charge of guarding the left wing of the camp. There were about 20,000 soldiers, so a total of 2,000 miscellaneous and heavy soldiers came, some carrying food boxes, some carrying buckets, and distributed them in an orderly manner along the tents. .

Lu Li and Lu Bu didn't do anything special, they sat cross-legged in the camp, eating the same food as ordinary soldiers.

Of course, since both of them are military generals, their appetites far exceed that of ordinary people, so the heavy soldiers deliberately left two boxes of pancakes.

In addition, there is cabbage soup, a pile of meat sauce, a few pieces of pickles, and a pile of boiled bacon.

In addition, the food for tens of thousands of people must be prepared in advance, and it will be cold when it is delivered at this time.

"Brother, fill your mouth with hot water." Lu Li called out as he took the copper pot off the charcoal brazier.

Lu Bu was eating oatmeal cakes with soy sauce, when he heard Lu Li calling him, he quickly swallowed them and picked them up with his hands.

At this time, a soldier in white fur coat opened the tent, cupped his hands and said, "Two generals, my lord has something important to call."

Hearing this, the two put aside the food box and stood up, their expressions became serious.

"After waiting for two hours, the battle is finally about to start."

"One action determines the outcome."

Outside the camp, countless soldiers squatted or sat on the ground, burying their heads in eating a big meal. Yes, for them, if there is enough meat and pancakes in the meal, it is a big meal.

[To serve the soldiers every day, in order to defeat Pei Gong's army]

Somehow, Lu Li thought of this sentence and secretly sighed.

It is almost foreseeable that the next decisive battle will be bloody, and for most people, this sumptuous meal is the last meal.

Family affairs, state affairs, war affairs.

With all kinds of complicated emotions, Lu Li and Lu Bu stepped into the camp of the Chinese army.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ding Gong walking back and forth in front of the map with his hands behind his back, his burly and not-so-old body, his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something troublesome.

And below, according to the rank of the position, the generals are arranged in an orderly manner, waiting silently.

Xu Shi realized that everyone was here, Ding Gong raised his head and said: "Meng Ming, you asked for credit for the small school under your command, so the old man accepted you, promoted Zhang Zhao to be the captain of Yangwei, and led two thousand wolf riders." Soldiers go to defend the left wing."

Lu Li didn't have too many disturbances in his mind. It was a routine operation to be promoted before the battle. As for what was going on?

Nothing more than a morale booster.

However, when he thought that someone he was acquainted with could be promoted, he didn't refuse immediately, so he said: "Zhang Zhao fought bloody battles, held his head up and worked hard for the lord, and now he is rewarded, I will finally thank the lord for his promotion!"

"Hahaha." Ding Yuan stroked his beard and laughed, and said: "We are all fighting for His Majesty, the Han Dynasty, and the people of Bingzhou in this battle. Meng Ming must not talk nonsense."

"promise."

As soon as the words fell, the previous dignified atmosphere immediately dissipated, and all this was due to Lu Li, because the two had a few words.

What is a favor?

That's it.

All of a sudden, many generals in the tent looked at Lu Li with envy, hating their parents for not giving him a good skin.

Of course, when they thought about Lu Li's various achievements, they calmed down again.

at the same time.

In Wenshui City, the smell of meat is pervasive.

Nearly 300,000 troops gathered inside and outside the city, and the young commanders of the Yellow Turban Army stood on the top of the city, looking at the tents on the plain, there were too many soldiers and horses, and the dormant fighting spirit was awakened again.

Stand me Huang Tian!

Qu Shuai Guo Tai stood among the crowd, leaning on the city wall, with a certain demeanor——

Wearing an armor with such a beast painted on it, and a shining jeweled scabbard, he is standing on the top of the city with his head held high.

"Master, all the chickens and pigs in the city have been fed into the stomachs of the children, and the morale has been greatly boosted." A handsome man said while bending his waist.

Hearing this, Guo Tai withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Have you ever given money to the common people according to the military order?"

"nature……"

At this moment, a personal guard rushed over, knelt on the ground on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Report to master, the scouts are here to report that there is movement in the Han army camp!"

"Bring someone up."

Guo Tai waved his hand lightly, and after the guards were ordered to leave, he looked at the handsome young man again: "Continue talking."

"Eggs cost one dollar, chickens cost ten to twenty dollars depending on the size and size of the male and female, and the same is true for dolphins. I dare not make any deductions."

Next, Xiaoshuai continued to pat his chest to reassure, saying that everyone was born in poverty, and if they forcibly robbed the people of their property, would it be any different from a traitor?

I almost swear on my parents.

Seeing this, Guo Tai felt relieved.

Immediately afterwards, a scout with a yellow scarf on his head went to the city to perform a military salute.

Standing at the front, Zhou Tian looked sideways slightly. The person who came saw him looked like he was suffering. His rough skin was only caused by years of exposure to the wind and sun and hard work. The mustache on his mouth was also messy.

Alas, water can carry a boat and capsize it.

However, why the Yellow Turban Army, which represents the interests of the people of the world, cannot defeat the official army?

"What's the movement of the Han army ahead?" Guo Tai asked.

The scout replied in a deep voice: "Half an hour ago, a team of nearly 5,000 people crossed Wenshui. They seemed to be transporting something by carts and donkeys."

"Has there ever been smoke from the Han army's camp?"

"Never."

Guo Tai's expression was inexplicable, and he said in a serious tone: "That is the supply camp stationed on the north bank of Wenshui."

"The old thief didn't bury the pot and start the stove, but ordered the miscellaneous soldiers to bring over the cooked food. Could it be that he wanted to sneak attack?"

Some Xiaoshuai speculated: "The general is daring, but I have to say something! There is no danger to defend the nearby Pingchuan River. Now tens of thousands of elite officers and troops are gathered outside the city. If there is a sudden outbreak of trouble..."

Having said that, he paused, as if he was recalling something terrible, "With those three fierce generals, I am afraid that the Han army will soon be able to tear through the line of defense and reach Wenshui City."

"At that time, how can we hold on for a long time? As the previous master said, although Wenshui City has high walls and a lot of food and grass, if you hold on for a long time, you will lose."

"In my opinion, it's better to collect the feces and water of the people in the city. When this thing is boiled, it becomes golden juice. It is extremely poisonous. Once it is poured on it, no medicine can cure it. It will only wait for the festering sores to fester!"

"That's right, we need to prepare waterwheels to prevent enemy fire from attacking. We should also prepare rolling logs and stones to demolish some useless houses."

Some people discussed loudly, and some people's faces were pulled down, and they scolded: "Why do you want to guard?"

"General Li was scared out of his wits by the thief general?"

"That's right, I'm really afraid. The fortunes and lives of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban righteous men depend on us, so why not be afraid?"

"Fate is mine!"

"Then last night..."

Noisy sounded from the top of the city, Guo Tai slapped the bricks hard, and shouted, "Don't make noise, I'm not dead yet."

Seeing this, the subordinate hurriedly bowed to persuade: "Master, calm down."
