Allure of a Country Maiden

Lijun Military Camp on New Year's Day

It was lunch time again, and the soldiers lined up to receive their meals.

Looking at the gruel with more water than rice, the soldiers complained.

"Forget it if you usually eat porridge, today is the Chinese New Year! Don't talk about meat, don't you even have a dry meal?"

"My arms and legs are weak after eating this food that is worse than pig food all day long, so why should I fight?"

"Didn't I say that the food will be delivered soon? How many days have it been? Why are there still no food!"

"No, in the past we followed the general and the court provided for us to eat and drink. Although there was not as much military noise as now, we still had enough food to eat! When have we ever been hungry?"

"There is a lot of money now, but what's the use? Rice and noodles here are so expensive! Sometimes we can't buy food even if we have money. Let's just wait to starve to death!"

…

The soldiers drank white porridge like water, and you complained to me.

During this time, their diet has changed from dry food to porridge! Nowadays, during the Chinese New Year, there is nothing to eat. No wonder the soldiers are complaining.

General Li originally wanted to come out to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers, but now that he heard them whispering about food issues, he did not dare to show his face, so he could only silently turn around and return to his tent.

The clearly calculated food supply went wrong one after another, and now the soldiers are almost running out of food.

With tens of thousands of people waiting for food, there is a lot of food every day! The food stored now... In short, in a few days, not even the gruel will be eaten.

A while ago, soldiers could dress up as ordinary people and go to the grain stores in the city to buy some. Now every grain store has to buy according to the amount with household subsidies, and they can't buy too much.

General Li closed his eyes. County Lord Rui'an was indeed the court's blessing and his nemesis!

Ever since the Minze Kingdom had Marquis Shengping, everything in their Li family started to go wrong!

First his children suffered! Now that the Lord of Ruian County has returned to his hometown to celebrate his birthday, all the rations for his tens of thousands of soldiers have been wasted!

This man can't be killed despite killing him! General Li clenched his fists thinking of this!

No, there is no food!

Can't wait any longer!

General Li just wanted to call people in to prepare for sending troops.

But faint cheers could be heard from the imperial army across the river.

General Li walked out again and came to the river. He looked over from a distance and saw the flickering bonfires of the military camp opposite. There was a sheep on each bonfire, and many people were holding chickens and fish for roasting. . Waves of the aroma of meat and wine came over, and even he felt hungry after smelling it.

Stimulated by the aroma of these foods, many soldiers couldn't help but run to the river to take a look, which made the soldiers' complaints even louder.

They are also soldiers. Others enjoy good food and drink, but they have to starve and freeze! This differential treatment is too great!

General Li knew that if things continued like this, the morale of the army would be unstable. He withdrew his distant gaze, walked back to the camp, and said apologetically in front of the soldiers: "Brothers! Our food was intercepted by the imperial court. , I have made everyone hungry these days, especially on the first day of the new year, and I cannot let everyone have a full meal. I am really ashamed! I would like to apologize to everyone."

"It's not that the general doesn't want everyone to have enough to eat, it's just that the food the general prepared for everyone was taken away by the people from the court! Now the food purchase in the city has been restricted, and the general can't buy it even if he wants to. The people from the court are trying to kill us all ! They took away everyone’s rations and ate meat and drank wine there! It’s so abominable!” A deputy general next to General Li added indignantly.

The soldiers were angry after hearing this!

They thought angrily, if they were robbed, they would take it back!

The days of hunger and cold are really unbearable.

Since the imperial court is trying to kill them all, then: "General, let's kill them! Take back the food that belongs to us!"

"Yes, why did they steal our food and eat hot and spicy food there, while we can only drink porridge and water!"

"Yes, grab it back!"

"Get it back!" The hungry soldiers raised their spears and said.

The best thing is to call over now and grab all the roasted lamb, roasted chicken, roasted fish, fine wine, etc.

Stimulated by the sweetness of the food, Li Jun's morale was as high as ever!

This is the result of being hungry.

"Brothers, we will send troops at midnight tonight! Take back everything that belongs to us, or we will die if we don't succeed!" General Li expressed his decision in his heart.

The morale of the soldiers is now at an all-time high.

And the enemy army...

When marching to fight, the most taboo thing is drinking and having fun. As the saying goes, drunkenness will cause trouble!

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is not appropriate to kill. I guess the imperial army thought that he had such taboos, so they dared to be so bold and openly provocative!

In this case, he will do the opposite and send troops when they are all drunk!

…

Di Shaowei stood high and looked at Li Jun's excitement across from him, with a sneer in his heart.

Can't stand it anymore? He has been waiting for a long time!

He also had two large jars of wine brought out and secretly sprinkled them on the ground, making the smell of wine in the air stronger.

Then a large jar of wine and a large jar of broth were delivered to the soldiers.

Fortunately, soldiers always drink from bowls. Otherwise, many of them would be laughing while holding wine glasses and drinking broth.

However, on this cold day, drinking hot wine-flavored broth and eating barbecue and steamed buns are also one of the great pleasures in life!

The cheers were louder than the last.

People who don't know it actually think they are drinking when they smell the smell of alcohol in the air!

General Li's face darkened as he listened to the faint cheers and toasts coming from the opposite side. He said some words to appease the soldiers, and then led several lieutenants into his tent and began to discuss the dispatch of troops. .

We have no choice but to send troops. The soldiers will be so hungry that they will rebel!

Before dawn, the world is the darkest.

A long wooden boat was placed on the river covered with a thin layer of ice, and a sound of ice breaking was heard instantly.

This wooden boat is very long, about two meters wide and more than thirty meters long, directly across the surface of this small river.

One by one, the soldiers jumped on the boat and ran to the other side.

When a large black cloud opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow them up, the soldiers of the imperial army who were keeping watch discovered that the enemy troops had sneaked over!

The trumpet sounded quickly.

"Get up quickly, the enemy is attacking! Get up quickly!"

After hearing this, the imperial army quickly got up from their sleep, ran out, and formed a team. Their speed and movements were as if they were preparing to fight in their sleep!

The fact is that they had been waiting for Li Jun to come over for a long time, and they were almost asleep by the time!

After the enemy troops crossed the river, behind them, there was also a large black cloud approaching quickly!

The war is about to break out.
