Three Kingdoms

When a person thinks that they are likely to face death, how many people will be willing to close their eyes and wait for death? When a person knows that he has become the prey of others, how many people will be willing to sacrifice their flesh and blood? Isn't it supposed to be a fine tradition of Chinese people to fight against the people of heaven and earth for their own survival?

But since when did meek resignation and enduring pain become the new Chinese virtues, promoted by generations of rulers?

Qian Laoshi thought Zhang He was about to be killed. Once Zhang He died, Qian Laoshi himself would not be able to escape death.

Did Zhang He do anything wrong?

Qian honestly thinks that there is no such thing, so why do people who have done nothing wrong accept the punishment willingly and die without any resistance?

So Qian Laoshi has to give it a try no matter what, resist once, struggle once, anyway, he will die on both sides!

At the time of cooking dinner, when food was being distributed and everyone was cooking, there were many soldiers coming and going, and no one noticed that Qian Laoshi was among them...

There is information from some unreliable sources in later generations, saying that cannibalism will cause a strange disease that is difficult to cure, and then this strange disease will cure itself if you stop eating people...

But in fact, this rhetoric has not been confirmed and recognized by professional medical institutions. In fact, even in the later generations of the so-called "civilization", cannibalism or partial cannibalism has often occurred, and has even continued for thousands of years. To take a chestnut to eat, such as "Zihe Che".

So from a physiological point of view, any living thing has the instinct to continue to reproduce, so when there are other foods to eat, the vast majority of living creatures will not eat the same kind. There is both competition and self-preservation within biological populations, but if one day there is no other food, cannibalism is not uncommon.

Especially non-vegetarian creatures.

Of course, most of the time, because humans need to cooperate with each other to jointly resist foreign enemies and transform nature, the cost of cannibalism is too high. People can be left to do more valuable things, so there is no need to cannibalize. For living things to survive, humans need both plant protein and animal protein. Since they can eat other living things, they don’t have to eat the same kind, which can ensure the continuation of the population. Competition in nature is all about hard work and has nothing to do with morality.

However, in the absence of food...

Just like Yuyang now.

If Cao Cao hadn't encountered such a dilemma in Jizhou, if Zhang He hadn't burned all the food and grass, and if there weren't more than a thousand Xianbei people with more mouths to eat, it might be a different story...

But now, "rat meat" has become a military ration in Yuyang.

Originally, when Zhang He was in charge of the camp, it was more or less even. Cao's soldiers and Xianbei's soldiers generally got slightly different food, but the difference was not very big. However, after Xia Houyuan replaced Zhang He, his attention was focused on On how to avenge shame and how to defeat Zhao Yun and others, who would care about such nonsense?

If the leader doesn't care, then the subordinates will naturally act according to their own ideas. As a result, Cao's soldiers received all decent food, while the Xianbei people received all "rat meat".

If it were just like this, it wouldn't arouse much resentment, but as many people as possible, there would naturally be those who rely on belittling others to feel that they can elevate themselves, and they started to spare no effort in talking about these Xianbei people. Dregs, rubbish, rubbish, there is no point in living in this world, only worthy of eating these "rat meat"...

Any rhetoric will inevitably attract the intervention of other trolls. Just like a certain Kong and a certain You are a gathering place for a large number of trolls to get pleasure. When a soldier who spits insults at Xianbei is not stopped, many trolls will smell the air. The smell that filled the air happily joined in, spewing all kinds of vicious words they could think of at the Xianbei people, and then they laughed together, as if there was something called "happiness" permeating the air. s things.

Only in this way can these Cao Jun feel that they are higher than the Xianbei people and no longer at the bottom of the class. Aren't there people who are worse and more unlucky than themselves? Then these Cao Jun will gain psychological benefits. Great satisfaction.

Most Xianbei people can't understand Chinese, but that doesn't mean they can't understand the expressions or detect the strangeness. Even if they didn't know what Cao's soldiers were talking about, the Xianbei people could guess at the laughter that broke out from time to time and the words that represented all kinds of malice.

No one cares?

Really no one cares.

The original management system was completely disrupted, and Xia Houyuan did not immediately assign and straighten out the non-commissioned officers at all levels. Those who were originally under Zhang He thought that Xia Houyuan's men should be in charge of the current affairs, and Xia Houyuan's men did not receive a confirmed order, how could they take advantage of it? Are you so full that you are looking for trouble?

"Old man, come here!" ” The Xianbei leader called an older Xianbei man over, “Do you understand what those guys are saying? 』

The old man hesitated.

"I know they didn't say anything nice..." The Xianbei leader looked over and said, "It's not you who said that, you are so scared!" Say it! 』

The old man choked, and then he was slapped on the back by the Xianbei leader before he moved closer and muttered a few words.

The Xianbei leader jumped up and grabbed Lao Gao's leather robe with both hands. Well, it might not be possible to grasp it without both hands, and it would slip. Lao Gao's leather robe, which he has worn almost all his life, is almost pure black... …

"What did you say? "The Xianbei leader shouted in a low voice, "These meats..."

Of course, not all Xianbei people have eaten "rat meat", especially people like the Xianbei leader who are relatively well-off. These guys may like to use the skulls of their enemies to drink wine, and they may also be very interested in eating blood feuds, but it doesn't mean that they like to eat this kind of meat, or rely on this kind of meat as their staple food.

In the Xianbei people's concept, enemies are not the same kind, and similarly, slaves are not the same kind. Therefore, eating the flesh and blood of enemies and slaves is the same as eating cattle and sheep. There is not much difference. However, if these meats also come from ordinary Xianbei people, it will naturally make the Xianbei people feel uncomfortable.

There is nothing difficult to understand about this. At the same time, because of the surrounding wars, who else can be the source of "rat meat"? Could it be that Cao Jun in Yuyang was stupid enough to capture the few remaining civilians in his family? Therefore, the small group of Xianbei people who were defeated were naturally the source of the meat, and the key point was that these Xianbei people could often buy one and get one free. In addition to contributing a body of meat, most of them got a horse.

If the war horse is not injured, then it will be used as a supplement to the combat power. If the war horse is injured, then there will be an extra piece of horse meat. Anyway, it is more cost-effective than arresting your own farmer.

As soon as these news spread, the Xianbei people almost exploded on the spot, and at this moment, Qian Laoshi came. As a result, the Xianbei people agreed to rescue Zhang He. In exchange, Zhang He would help them fight back to the Xianbei Royal Court...

Of course, Qian Laoshi was not qualified to promise anything on behalf of Zhang He, but similarly, Qian Laoshi would not veto anything for Zhang He. As a result, a riot started in the middle of the night.

If Zhang He was advocating for matters within the camp, it would be impossible for such a lax situation to occur, but what Xia Houyuan pursues is to go straight and have fun, so why would he care about some details? Therefore, the queue originally on duty in the camp was also weak. Although some non-commissioned officers saw it, Xia Houyuan didn't care, so they just turned a blind eye and pretended not to have seen it.

The soldiers who were responsible for guarding the soldiers in the middle of the night were all yawning. They couldn't bear to walk the whole distance. They just found a corner to hide and catch up on their sleep.

The darkness before dawn is always the most relaxing time.

Qian Laoshi and the Xianbei people were divided into two groups. One group started shouting to prevent fire in the camp and disrupted order, while the other group rushed directly into the supply camp to rescue Zhang He.

Destruction from within is often faster and more unpredictable. The patrolling Cao soldiers did not react for a moment. They did not expect that there would be a riot in the camp. Most of their attention was outside the camp. , were all in the direction of Zhao Yun in the distance, so when the Xianbei people rose up in violence, many of Cao's troops were confused and did not even issue a warning immediately.

Xia Houyuan was awakened, but it was of no use. At first, Xia Houyuan thought it was Zhao Yun and others who were attacking at night, so he eagerly gathered his soldiers and prepared for a counterattack. However, by the time he discovered that it was actually his own soldiers who were rioting, and the fire was raging in the baggage camp, it was already too late...

If only the Xianbei people were causing trouble, Xia Houyuan would definitely not let Zhang He go after he realized what he was doing. But the problem is that Zhao Yun and Sima Yi were not a decoration. When he discovered something unusual in the camp in the west of Yuyang City, he made sure that there was nothing nearby. Abnormal, they immediately sent out some soldiers and horses led by Gan Feng to conduct tentative oppression, and the effect was naturally outstanding.

There was a riot inside and a powerful enemy outside. Xia Houyuan couldn't take care of it at all. The camp in the west of the city was almost destroyed. He had to retreat into Yuyang with the remaining soldiers. From then on, Cao Jun lost the defense system that had been the horns of each other. …

Zhang He was carried by Xianbei people and rushed out of the camp.

Although the incident happened so suddenly that Zhang He is still a little confused, it does not mean that Zhang He is a foolish and loyal person who wants to go back and die in silence. Zhang He knew that after Qian Laoshi did such a thing, it would be useless even if Zhang He denied that he had not instigated these things.

So is it to be blamed for Qian Zhongdao?

Do you blame a bodyguard who risked his life to rescue him?

At this moment, Zhang He really didn't know whether he should feel happy or sad. If Cao Chun could face him, Zhang He really wanted to yell at Cao Chun, "Aren't you suspicious of something?" That’s all you want! ? 』

While the night was still dark, Zhang He and the Xianbei people fled north in a hurry.

Gan Feng took the opportunity to defeat the western camp and withdrew his troops, but did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city.

While Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan in Yuyang City took a breath, they did not realize that what they had lost was far more than just a camp in the west of the city...

……（╯-_-）╯~╩╩……

New changes have taken place not only under Yuyang City, but also in the desert, between Gongsun Du and Liu He.

Gongsundu's military strength was obviously stronger than that of Liu He and others. After all, the title of King of Liaodong was not for nothing. When Gongsun Duxin's reinforcements arrived, the soldiers under Gongsun's command all cheered in unison, and their morale was greatly shaken, while Liu He's soldiers naturally seemed a little panicked.

Gongsun Du smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and ordered: "Form up!" Attack! 』

For a time, the sky above the battlefield was filled with the sound of war drums, long, short, rapid, melodious, low, and high. All kinds of sounds were intertwined, mixed with the sounds of soldiers' orders and In response, the huge sense of oppression made it difficult for Liu He and the Wuhuan people to deal with it.

The new reinforcements from Gongsun's side coming from the southeast are forming a tense and orderly formation. From a distance, they look like countless black and gray insects squirming on the green grassland, which is disgusting and terrifying.

Liu He looked at Gongsun Du's army two miles away, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.

"Sir! Lou Ban whispered beside Liu He, "No!" There is a huge difference in military strength! We can't win..."

Liu He said: "We can't win...but we can't withdraw now...if we withdraw, it will be chaos!" Now we can only attack the opponent's flank first, and then leave! 』

"Okay..." Lou Ban said in a deep voice, "But you can't fall in!" 』

"Yes, you can't fall in love with fighting!" ” Liu He agreed.

Lou Ban nodded: "Then give the order!" If we wait any longer, they will be surrounded! 』

Liu He drew out his sword, then turned the horse's head, raising the sword high in front of him, "Follow me!" Let's fight out! 』

Lou Ban also shouted loudly, and soon several horn soldiers following Lou Ban also blew the horn.

Liu He and others' cavalry began to flow on the grassland like water.

There is still part of Gongsun Du's army on the mountain. About three thousand troops have already moved down and formed a formation, but there are still some soldiers on the hillside who are gathering in a steady flow down the mountain.

"Lord!" The front army, the center army, and the left army are all in place. The right army is rapidly gathering. The rear army is still on the mountain. ” The soldiers reported.

Gongsun Du cursed impatiently: "Asshole, send the order, let these guys go faster, faster!" Didn't you see that the guys on the opposite side were all moving? Also, let the front army take two hundred steps forward! Archers keep up and get ready! 』

In order not to expose their target, Liu He and others initially rushed straight towards Gongsun Du's Chinese army.

Gongsun Du's advantage is that he has the upper hand in terms of number of troops, and the new reinforcements have greatly enhanced the morale of his soldiers. Therefore, if Liu He is willing to compete with him, Gongsun Du will undoubtedly be the happiest, so Gongsun Du initially They deliberately let the front army move forward in an exposed position, trying to get Liu He to bite the hook, and then they could be surrounded and annihilated.

But the advantage of Liu He's side was that most of them were cavalry, and Gongsun Du didn't know that Liu He and Lou Ban immediately decided to retreat after seeing Gongsun Du's reinforcements. It's just that Liu He couldn't make his retreat too obvious. Otherwise, when his side's morale was lost and he was killed by the opponent's cavalry from behind, it would not be a retreat, but a disaster.

Therefore, Liu He turned against guests and took the initiative to attack.

Gongsun Du was also happy to see Liu He's attack. The troops on both sides were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers' ears were buzzing from the roar of horse hooves.

Amidst the sound of horse hooves, the horn sounded again.

The direction of Liu He and others gradually began to change.

"asshole! Courageless coward! They are not trying to fight, but trying to run away! ” Gongsun Du’s expression suddenly changed, “Right wing! Damn it, it's the right wing! Someone come! Send the order! Let the right wing line up! We can't let them pass! 』

"Lord!" Lord! The right army has not completely come down yet..."

"Go and give the order!" Gongsun Du shouted, "We can't let them pass!" Otherwise they run away! 』

"Full speed forward!" ” The classmate on the other side shouted loudly.

The sound of horns broke through the huge roar, one after another, and the speed of the troops suddenly accelerated.

The two sides came into contact with each other in an instant.

The two sides who collided directly were turned upside down, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. On the one hand, Gongsundu's soldiers were not all in place, and on the other hand, they started too slowly, resulting in insufficient speed and much smaller impact force. However, the speed of Liu He's cavalry basically reached the maximum, and it was basically really Hit whatever you encounter and fly away!

Liu He and others, who had fully increased their speed, were blocked by Gongsun Du's right wing, but their speed was not affected much. They stepped on the bodies of Gongsun Du's soldiers and were still running wildly, like the wind and the remaining clouds, like the flood that broke the embankment. , the waves surged and spread away.

Gongsun Du jumped on his feet and cursed, and his general Liu Yi also struggled to lead his soldiers to stop them. If Liu He and others could not be stopped immediately, then naturally they would not be able to surround Liu He and others and annihilate them.

The problem is that Gongsun Du's broken right wing cannot achieve such an effect at all, and Liu Yi can't catch up with the speed of the Chinese army. Although the reinforcements on the other side have arrived on the battlefield, they have to go around from the left to the right. Gongsundu's army couldn't catch up in a short while.

But this does not mean that Liu He and the Wuhuan people were unscathed. Even the heavy cavalry could not be said to be completely unscathed when they rushed into the collision, let alone the light cavalry dominated by the Wuhuan people. Their bodies were flesh and blood. In the collision, many Wuhuan soldiers died tragically on the spot, and because Liu Yi led Gongsun's soldiers to outflank him, even though Liu and Lou Ban penetrated Gongsun Du's right wing, not everyone could escape from the battle immediately. , some Wuhuan people who fell behind were bitten, and fell into a crazy melee, and most of them were also beheaded.

Neither of the two sides caught in the fierce battle noticed that before they knew it, some dark clouds began to roll up in the northern sky, and the sun feebly hid behind the clouds. The faint cold wind began to sing in the air, and an icy cold wind began to sing. And a ferocious aura is brewing in the horizon...
