As the sun overhead crossed the sky and leaned towards the west, the light emitted was not as brilliant as before, but it was sprinkled on people, but there was still a trace of warmth, and Zhang Li, who had been marching for nearly half a day, also ordered the army to rest temporarily, and at the same time, Zhang Li issued a military order that made everyone feel confused: "Make food on the spot!" Shen Shi continued to set off and marched towards Tongguan! ”

Although the army was very puzzled, the logistics auxiliaries quickly did what the military order said, and when Zhang Li gathered the generals, another order that surprised everyone came from Zhang Li's mouth: "The accompanying prisoners, no matter who they are!" Kill them all! Temporarily recharge military rations! For belly wrapping! ”

Behind this inhuman order, Zhang Li also made a lot of excuses for everyone to rack his brains to come up with, even if he himself felt very lame when he said it, but in the current situation, he had to explain it to everyone. In fact, many of the people present have already tasted human flesh, but all this time, they have not eaten it in a high-sounding killing manner as they are about to do, and it is such a large-scale one.

Zhang Li's army brought out seven or eight thousand people from Chang'an City, even if there were many old people and children among them, but it was enough for Zhang Li's army to eat two full meals, and it was mainly meat-based, so it was enough to manage the full.

After the initial hesitation, under Zhang Li's so-called various reasons, everyone put aside the mustard in their hearts, and under the leadership of several Zhang Li's henchmen, the big and small generals began to follow, ready to receive the 'grain and grass' of their respective troops.

Looking at the departing generals, Zhang Li's eyes also dimmed a little, and after being silent for a long time, he could already hear the cries of the people in his ears, even the iron-hearted Zhang Li couldn't help frowning fiercely, turned around, and walked towards the tent that had just been temporarily set up for himself without saying a word.

Zeng Xiu did not turn back with Zhang Li, but continued to stand in place for a moment, and he didn't know what was wrong, his steps actually changed, and he walked towards the source of the louder and louder cries.

"Please! Leave me alone, I still have a four-month-old child in my belly, you guys are good, you are good! On the side of the crowd of people surrounded by the puppet Qi rebels, a woman in extremely thin clothes knelt unkempt in the snow, her filthy face was washed out of two shallow ravines by two lines of hot tears, and she looked at several generals in front of her with pleading faces, but her body that had been struggling to step forward was hung there with two spears by several ordinary soldiers with iron faces and even a little hideous.

"Okay? Released you? Who's going to let us go? Can you let us go? After a moment of stalemate, a senior general present frowned and spoke in a deep voice, there was no room for negotiation in his tone, and his face became more and more cold, and then, he glanced sideways at the officer who followed him to receive the 'military ration', and shouted coldly: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Do you want General Ben to send it to you? Are all your people dead? Do it yourself! ”

"Yes, yes!" The officer who was scolded hurriedly took a step back, turned around and practiced bowing, even if he was scolded, he still kept apologizing and thanking: "The general is angry, angry!" The end is coming! ”

"What are you doing? Do you still want to eat? Standing here, can you see your stomach full? As he spoke, the officer yelled at the soldiers who followed behind, and finally did not forget to whisper to the soldiers passing by him: "This girl looks pretty good, remember not to do it yet, you can still make the brothers happy!" ”

After finishing speaking, the officer knew that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly raised his head and smiled at the general who had just scolded him, and was about to open his mouth to explain, but seeing that the other party was already bored with his head, he was also happy to relax, hehe smiled, turned around and took a few steps back, and gave up some position for his subordinates.

"Why are you so inhuman! Even a woman who has no power to restrain her hands refuses to let go! She still has an unborn child in her belly! As soon as he stepped forward to take away the food that had been distributed to his troops, the soldiers who stepped forward were cursed by a man nearby, and several people were stunned for a moment, then their eyes showed a fierce light, and without hesitation, they pulled out the war knife on their waists and pointed it over, and the meaning of the threat was self-evident.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! To everyone's surprise, the man did not hurriedly shrink his neck to avoid as the ordinary people he usually saw, but raised his head and laughed wildly, and then pointed at the pseudo-Qi generals and soldiers around him and cursed sharply: "You brutes who have lost their conscience! You will be punished in the future! You refuse to let go of the old people and children! You are doing iniquity! Do evil! God will punish you! I won't let you go! Wait! ”

"Kill him! Kill him!! The officer immediately rushed forward in a rage, snatched the sword from the soldier's hand, and slashed at the man viciously.

"Poof!"

Blood splashed everywhere, fluttering in the desolate mid-air with the cold wind, but the man's face was full of smiles, as if it was not himself who died now, but the murderer standing opposite him, as the man slowly fell to the ground, the warm blood quickly flowed out, and a slender ravine was washed out in the snow on the ground.

"What are you doing?! Drag away, drag away! The man lying in a pool of blood did not close his eyes, and even still exuded the brilliance of a smile, staring directly at the officer who was doing it, as if he was laughing at the anger of the other party, and as if he was lamenting the other party's actions, which could not help but make the officer even more ashamed and angry.

"Leave me and my children alone, please, let us go."

In his ears, the woman's pleading voice sounded again, but it was already weak, as if she was dying, but it annoyed the officer even more, and he turned around sharply and raised the sword with blood on the face of the knife in his hand.

"Stop!!"

With a heavy shout, Zeng Xiu, who was pale, walked in front of the officer with heavy steps to separate the crowd, looked at the officer who was still holding his sword high and was stunned in place, he breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted angrily: "I'll fucking let you stop!" Can't you hear me?! Let her go! ”

"Yes, yes." At this time, the officer saw that Zeng Xiu had come forward to speak, even if there was great anger in his heart, he had to forcibly press it into his stomach, and he withdrew his sword in a sneer, and after saluting Zeng Xiu, he quickly retreated to the side.

"General Zeng, this, this..." The general in charge of distributing the 'grain' here frowned slightly, stepped forward and bowed, then glanced at the woman on the low, and stammered and reminded in a low voice: "Even if she is released, she will not survive in this wilderness, even if she returns to Chang'an City, then, it will be a dead end." ”

"I said let her go!!" Suddenly, Zeng Xiu suddenly turned his head and shouted at the general, and then, a layer of white mist had floated on the surface of his eyes, and after shouting, Zeng Xiu suddenly turned around and walked towards the road where he came, took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let her go!" Others, as military rations! Execute it now! Make no mistake! ”

With the order dropped by Zeng Xiu, who left, several generals present finally breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of a woman in front of them was indeed easy for them, as long as Zeng Xiu did not ask for all of them to be released, they could fully agree. Immediately, in the midst of a loud cry, a vigorous grain distribution operation began.
