A Clash of Gods

It was already dark, and the heavy rain that began to fall from noon still did not stop.

The muddy road seemed to have no end. Duan Shao glanced back, and the soldiers behind him were already in a state of chaos. They were not formed in groups, and some soldiers even sat in the muddy roadside and stopped moving forward.

After landing, Duan Shao led his soldiers all the way to the northeast. Now that he has not reached the territory of Xuzhou, the soldiers under him are already exhausted.

The northern bank of the Huaihe River had already fallen into a chaotic situation before the Qinhuai Army launched its offensive.

The battle for the throne of the Northern Han Dynasty led to a shortage of logistics for the Han army stationed on the north bank. Although Zhong Liao was very strict in his management, he did not have a long defensive line. Some soldiers who were not full enough looted the people. The soldiers secretly looted, and later even the army commanders led people to rob the people in an organized manner. Although Zhong Liao killed many people for this reason, many people had already fled north.

At first, it was only to avoid being looted by the Han army, but then spread everywhere, Chu army will soon come over, so the Han people on the north bank are like the Chu people on the south bank.

When the Chu army fought Huai Shui, before the Han army withdrew, in order to replenish the military needs, the already-dilapidated county town of Bei'an was washed away, and it was called the levy, and when the Chu army fought, it went dozens of miles to the north bank. Inside, there are almost no grains of rice, and the deserted.

Duan Shao also once thought of the shore, and with good luck, he could grab some food, but after walking for two days, not only did he not see even a grain of rice, he could hardly even see the silhouette.

Hurrying up day and night, and hungry in the belly, even the trained Dongqi sailors were difficult to sustain. Many people couldn't hold on and started to eat grass root bark. Some soldiers fell behind, but did not keep up and sent people Seeking, but have all fled.

Although Duan Shao was irritated in his heart, he had no choice but to go forward. It was naturally too late to send someone back to arrest him.

"His Royal Highness, there is a forest in front of you. You will see that you can't move anymore, or you will rest for a while." Yuan Buye hurriedly came from the front: "His Royal Highness, walked in the rain for a long time, I'm afraid I might get cold ! "

When it rained at noon, Yuan Buye persuaded Duan Shao to find a place to avoid rain.

Although Duan Shao practiced some boxing and kicking skills, but only some fist embroidered legs, since childhood, Jin Yiyu food, delicate body, Yuan Buye is worried that Duan Shao will get sick after the rain, now the army's broken heart team is entirely dependent on Duan Shao Once Duan Shao had a problem, the team that was going to collapse at any time would collapse.

It was just that Duan Shao was able to share the hardships with his subordinates in order to show that he was able to bear hardships and hardships, categorically refused, and insisted on moving forward.

Now Yuan Buye saw Duan Shao's complexion pale, his lips even estrus, and he was full of fatigue, knowing that Duan Shao was afraid that he could not support it.

Duan Shao glanced forward. In the darkness, he only saw the darkness and pondered for a moment before asking: "Can someone be sent to check?"

"People have been sent to explore the road ahead. The forest is large enough to allow us to take a rest in the rain." Yuan Buye said: "There is no Chu army and Han army in the vicinity, it is very safe."

Duan Shao nodded slightly: "That's the case, let everyone walk to the front of Lin Zi to rest for a while."

After half a hour of incense, when he arrived at the proven Linzi, Duan Shao ordered the team to rest on the spot, and the soldiers were ordered. Many people did not even enter Linzi, so they sat on the muddy road outside the forest. Fei Chan Mi Ren is protecting Duan Shao into the forest and looking for a big tree. Yuan Buye makes people bring in those big boxes. Duan Shao sits on the top of the box. Forbearance is distributed around the guard.

"Your Highness, drink some saliva." Yuan Buye took off the leather bag around his waist and presented it to Duan Shao. Now there is nothing to eat, so he can only drink water to satisfy his hunger.

Duan Shao is actually very uncomfortable now.

He was born in the royal family and had suffered such misery since childhood. Even when Lin Zicheng was fleeing, at least there was still food around him, so he would not go hungry. Now he has not eaten for two days. Yuan Buye used to make people dig up grass roots and filial piety, but the grass roots are really difficult. The following choke, and the majestic Prince Qi, really want to eat grass roots, is it not a joke that the world spreads? In the past two days, I have been drinking water to make me hungry. In addition, I have been drowned by this heavy rain. At this time, my whole body has become emptied.

After drinking half a bag of water, Duan Shaocai sighed: "So we can't say that when we arrive in Puyang, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get to Xuzhou."

"Your Highness, if you speed up, we will be able to get to Pengcheng within two days." Yuan Buye said: "Pengcheng's side can certainly be supplemented."

"Two days?" Duan Shao saw that many soldiers had begun to cut the bark on the tree with a knife, and smiled bitterly: "Everyone is already exhausted, and it is not easy to insist until now, and there is no physical strength to speed up." , Only said: "How many more people?"

"More than four hundred people have fled along the way, and more than one thousand are in the line." Yuan Buye whispered: "The humble will only worry that there will be others to escape. Tonight will be arranged for guards, if anyone wants to secretly Go away and beheaded immediately! "

Duan Shao waved his hand and shook his head, "Well, things are up to now, and if you want to go, let him go as soon as possible. If they can follow you here, they are already faithful."

"Your Highness is generous, and Humble will obey the orders." Yuan Buye arched his hands and said: "Your Highness first rests for a moment. When you start, Humble will come to ask your Highness again." Just about to retreat, suddenly heard a loud noise coming, Yuan Buye Frowning his brows, he looked at it in a sound, and saw a group of black shadows not far away coming here, holding the waist knife handle, and ushered forward, only to see hundreds of soldiers being guarded by several princes The prince's guards had drawn their swords out of their sheaths, and the blades were pointing forward, but the soldiers were all holding the knife in their hands. The first few people shouted, and one of the thick soldiers opened his shirt, revealing his hairy chest. , Screaming at the Crown Prince's guard: "Come here and cut here, but I can't live anyway. It's a pleasure to kill Laozi with a knife."

"Zheng Biao, do you want to rebel?" Yuan Buye held the knife handle forward, his eyes fixed on the man like a knife.

Yuan Buye's violent binge made the noisy voice instantly calm down. When everyone saw Yuan Buye coming, some people showed a trace of fear.

"Your Highness is resting, you are noisy here, what do you want to do?" Yuan Buye stepped forward.

The man gathered his shirt and said, "Yuan Duwei, we want to see His Royal Highness, but they are blocked by them, so we will only ...!"

"Without His Royal Highness' order, who dares to approach, kill without pardon!" Prince Guard is still used to indifference.

Yuan Buye frowned: "Why do you want to see Your Highness?"

"Yuan Duwei, everyone hasn't eaten for two days. How long will it last?" Zheng Biao obviously still has some courage: "Do you want to stay hungry like this all the time?" He said, the soldier who had calmed down They were noisy again, and the movement here has already attracted the attention of other soldiers. Many soldiers gradually came to this side, and the more people gathered, the darker pressured a large piece.

Yuan Buye said with a deep voice: "There is a shortage of food, and you all know that it is for this reason that we only landed on the shore. Your Highness, like you, did not eat for two days. We rushed to Pengcheng to eat. . "

"Peng Cheng?" Some people in the crowd sneered: "How far is it to Peng Cheng, and are the Chu people there? Would you like us to vote for it?"

Yuan Buye sneered: "Are you afraid of Chu people?"

"Yuan Duwei, if we are afraid of the Chu people, we will not follow the Great Governor until now." Some people in the crowd cried, "Being soldiers eats food, it is justified, now we don't even have a bite, how can we fight wars, and How to restore the country? "

"I can't eat enough on the boat, now I can't even see a grain of rice, what do we want? Is it waiting to be starved to death?"

The morale of the soldiers fell to the bottom of the valley. During the noise, some people thought that they would eat grass root bark for a living now, and they were burning with anger. Their emotions were suddenly excited. The people behind squeezed forward and the people in front suddenly. Being forced to go forward, several princes guarded the sword against the soldier's chest in front, shouting sharply: "Go forward and kill without amnesty!"

At this time, other prince guards also found that the situation was wrong, and ran over to support.

But the Prince's guards are only a dozen people. Although they are brave and warlike and loyal, they are forced to retreat in the face of more and more naval soldiers.

"Are you going to rebel?" Yuan Buye shouted repeatedly, already drawing a knife in his hand, suddenly felt his shoulder was patted, turned his head to look, but saw that Duan Shao had come over.

Duan Shao saw the soldiers gather to yell and grieve, knowing that what he was most worried about had finally happened.

It was the most critical moment right now. He knew a careless handling and unbearable consequences. The soldiers saw Duan Shao coming in two steps. The voice suddenly became a little quieter. Duan Shao glanced before saying, "Everyone is affected by the rain. Hungry, this palace knows all of you. You are all my most loyal warriors in Daqi. This palace did not let everyone eat. This is the fault of this palace. But now in the predicament, we should work together to overcome the difficulties. Gong believes that food will be found soon. As long as we arrive in Puyang, this palace will reward each of you and make up for everyone. "

After a while of silence, Zheng Biao bravely said: "His Royal Highness, Puyang is too far away, brothers now just want to see if we can live now. If His Highness can let us live, we naturally swear to follow His Highness, but ... .! "

"But what?" Yuan Buye said coldly.

"But if you go on like this, everyone can only starve to death." Zheng Biao said: "If this is the case, it's better to let everyone go to find food, even if they can't survive all, it's better than starving to death."

Duan Shaojin first said: "You are right, if everyone thinks so, then although they go to find food, this palace will never stop, whoever seems to leave, you can go now."

"Your Highness, if you can go, the general's pay should be distributed to everyone." Zheng Biao said: "Many of these people have their wives and children waiting at home. They have been soldiers for many years, but now are they empty-handed to return? Let us bring it, and also ask your Highness to distribute the rates now! "

Yuan Buye sneered: "Zheng Biao, do you remember those silvers?"

"What's wrong with being a soldier to pay rates?" Zheng Biao exclaimed.

He said that the back was screaming, the sound was noisy, the soldiers in the back were crowded forward again, Zheng Biao and many soldiers in the front were forced to move forward, and the Prince Guards slammed the winning streak ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Step by step, one of the crown princes guards put the knife tip on Zheng Biao's chest. In the noisy sound, a scream was heard, and someone saw Zheng Biao's body shaking, and suddenly fell forward.

This incident was very sudden. The Prince's guard with a knife against Zheng Biao's chest froze for a while. Although the situation was chaotic, he was able to control his strength. Although the blade was against Zheng Biao's chest, he did not pierce it at all. Zheng Biao suddenly fell down somehow.

The soldiers on the side stayed a while, only to see Zheng Biao fluttering on the ground motionlessly, and he heard someone say, "The murder, the guard ... The guard killed Zheng Biao!"
