The soldiers in southern Xinjiang had limited food. No matter how much they saved, they ate all the food three days ago. The whole army was hungry. Even if some people had food hidden in their hands, they did not dare to take it out at this time.
eat.
At this time, whoever wants to take out the food will arouse the anger of the whole army. Even the general will starve with the army for three days.
Brother Niu ran to report to the general. The general was very hungry. He was hesitating whether to find the hidden food. He wanted to lay a foundation first to support him until Wu Er and others came back. He saw Brother Niu alive and well.
After running in, the general suddenly gained strength and stopped looking for food. He stood up in a hurry and asked, "Did you get food?"
"Come back to the general, we got a lot of food in exchange." Speaking of food, Brother Niu felt proud.
In terms of credit in this matter, he must be the first. No one can compete with him, not even Wu Er can take away his credit.
"How much is a lot?" The general's originally gloomy eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's enough for us for only five days." Just enough for them to exchange gunpowder for food again.
It has to be said that the Yanbei Army is really treacherous, but even though they knew they were treacherous, they had to admit it.
At this time, Yanbei's army also exchanged food for them instead of attacking them in turn, which was considered kind.
Although Wu Er said that Yan Beijun regarded him as a pearl and them as rubble and did not bother to risk his precious life with them, he still felt that Yan Beijun was very kind.
"Five days! That's enough. Save some food, it will last at least seven or eight days." The general thought about it and understood.
Although gunpowder can be exchanged for food, the gunpowder in their hands is limited, so they must use it sparingly no matter what.
"Let's go, help me out." With food, everyone can survive. The general is full of fighting spirit. With the support of Brother Niu, the general changes his previous weakness and strides towards the outside of the camp...
Walking all the way, the general felt a pain in his heart when he saw soldiers all over the ground who were too hungry to get up...
Their king is really a sinner.
However, thinking of the food brought by Wu Er, the general felt alive again.
No matter what their king is like, at least he is worthy of his soldiers, and that is enough.
The general walked all the way and saw the hungry soldiers from a distance. Although they were surrounding Wu Er, no one dared to ask for food. He nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at Wu Er and others, they guarded the food and did not decide how to distribute it without authorization, which made me even more satisfied.
At this time, he didn't want to take credit or grab credit, and he didn't make any mistakes.
"The general is here." As soon as the general came out, the extremely hungry soldiers saw it, but they were so hungry that they didn't have the strength to shout, so they could only watch...
The person who shouted loudly was the soldier who went with Wu Er to exchange for food.
Although they were not full of food during their journey, they were not hungry either.
After all, when you have to escort food, you have to be so hungry that you have no strength. When you encounter robbers, they don't even have the strength to fight.
"General, I'm lucky to have lived up to my command." Wu Er looked up and saw the general approaching. He stepped forward first and knelt down on one knee.
"Okay, okay." The general was also very hungry. He patted Wu Er's shoulder hard. It looked very strong, but in fact, for Wu Er, it was just scratching an itch.
Wu Er lowered his head silently and sighed inwardly.
Having a general who shares the same joys and sorrows with them is a good thing for the army, but it is a bad thing for him.
A general like this is bound to win over most of the people's hearts. It is almost impossible for him to win people's hearts through some small favors.
After appeasing Wu Er, the general gave a helping hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, I promised you that I would not let you starve to death. Now... I have done it!"
"The general is mighty!" The soldiers in Southern Xinjiang were so hungry that they were not human-like. When they heard the general's words, they wanted to shout something, but when they opened their mouths, the sound that came out was weak.
Wu Er saw this and shouted loudly. The brothers behind him also reacted and shouted loudly one by one. However, the number of people was limited. No matter how hard these people used their strength, the sound they could make was limited.
The general also knew that everyone was hungry and his own strength was limited. After saying this, he announced: "We have not raised much food, but the army has been hungry for so many days. Today everyone eats with open stomachs. Everyone is willing to eat."
Eat until you are full.”
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
When the soldiers who were almost going crazy with hunger heard the general's words, they shouted like crazy one by one, and some even fell down on the ground, so excited that they cried...
For more than half a month, they have been living on the verge of starving to death every day. For more than half a month, they have been counting food every day and dare not eat a full meal. Now, today they can finally have enough!
In the whole camp, the only ones who still have the strength to walk are Wu Er and others. The general has spoken, and they are the only ones who want to cook.
Wu Er and others did not hesitate, and immediately transported the food to the camp, set up a large pot and started cooking it.
Soon, the scent of fire rice spread in the camp. Those who were too hungry to move smelled the scent and crawled toward the source of the scent with difficulty...
When Wu Er and others saw it, they didn't stop him. Anyway, these people were too hungry and had no strength, so it was impossible for them to grab it.
As Wu Er expected, there were tens of thousands of people in the entire army. Although everyone was starving, no one actually started fighting.
Previously, the shadow of those rebels being robbed of food and driven away still hung over their heads. Now that the army has food, it will be their turn sooner or later, so why bother to rob it?
Don't worry, if they don't grab the rice by then, they will be thrown out.
They had seen that at least 70% of those who had been thrown out earlier had starved to death, and the remaining 30% had also been beaten to death. They did not want to follow in that footsteps.
Cook the rice over high fire, and the rice will be cooked quickly. No surprise, the first bowl is for the general.
There was only a big bowl of rice, and there wasn't even any food to eat with it, but the general didn't mind it at all, so he picked up the bowl and started eating.
The general is quite particular and remembers to use a spoon. When others get the rice, they grab it with their hands and put it into their mouths, just like wild dogs snatching food...
The spies of the Yanbei Army followed Wu Er and others to the military camp in southern Xinjiang. Seeing the reactions of these people, they knew that what Wu Er told them was true. There was no food in southern Xinjiang, not even any food at all.
.
This news is bad news for Southern Xinjiang, but it is really good news for Yanbei Army.
When the spies found out the truth, they stopped delaying and immediately turned back, preparing to report to their general and wait for the general's decision... (To be continued)
