The ancients said: Don't eat the food that comes to you.

However, for ordinary soldiers in troubled times, they do not have that so-called integrity at all.

The hungry and cold soldier of Yuan Jun saw the dry food thrown by Chen Xu, and his eyes suddenly emitted a green light.

He didn't answer Wen Zhao's words at all, so he pounced directly, picked up the dry food that was thrown on the ground, and didn't care about the dust on it, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"Gollum!"

"Gollum!"

The other hungry soldiers all had a look of longing in their eyes when they saw the lucky man eating.

"Huh!"

The man was so anxious to eat that he choked on the dry food, and his face turned red, and his hands couldn't help but choke his neck.

Wen Zhao jumped off his horse, walked up to the soldier, handed him his water bag, and said softly, "Drink water!" ”

The soldier of Yuan first subconsciously took a few steps back.

However, when he saw Chen Xu's sincere face and the affinity exuded from his body. I couldn't help but take two steps forward, carefully ending up with the water bag.

"Gollum, Gollum!"

After pouring half a bag of water into a big gulp, the sergeant Yuan felt a little more comfortable.

He secretly glanced at Chen Xu and asked suspiciously, "I am your enemy, why do you give me food and water?" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing the soldier's words, Chen Xu couldn't help laughing.

He suddenly opened his arms and said, "Who can say what will happen in the future?" ”

Then, Chen Xu stared at everyone with burning eyes, and said: "I am the general of the dynasty personally appointed by His Majesty, and I am in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Even though you were coerced by Yuan Shu for a while, you committed a great sin. ”

"However, as long as you are soldiers in the territory of the Han Dynasty, you will all be under the jurisdiction of me, Chen Xu."

Speaking of this, he raised his arms and shouted: "Yuan Shu vainly called the Son of Heaven, but he is an anti-country and traitor, and everyone will be punished." Now that Yuan Shu has defeated Xuanyuan Pass, his qi has been exhausted, and sooner or later he will be captured by me. ”

"You were all people from a good family in the past, and you had to be arrested by Yuan Shu as a last resort."

"The Son of Heaven is merciful and knows your suffering. Before I set out on the expedition, I had already issued a decree that all my past sins would be forgiven, as long as you forsake the darkness and turn to the light. ”

"Not only that, but if you want to continue to serve the country as a soldier in the future, you can also form an army by yourself; If I am willing to go home and work as a farmer, I will never force it. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Zhao shouted to the people behind him: "Leave all the dry food and distribute it to these hungry soldiers!" ”

Zhao Yun and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Before leading the troops to chase and kill Yuan Shu, Chen Xu asked each cavalry to prepare a lot of dry food. They originally thought that Chen Xu was preparing to run thousands of miles and fight a protracted war.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xu now ordered that all the dry food should be distributed to the hostile Yuan army. How is this behavior different from that of a capital enemy?

Everyone was puzzled, but Liu Bei was secretly impressed.

He was the first to turn over and dismount, and took all the dry food on his war horse to Chen Xu's side.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei's head in the air, and when they saw their brother acting like this, they naturally did not hesitate to follow suit.

Even though Zhao Yun had doubts in his heart, he also knew that his lord must have a plan in his heart. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he also asked the soldiers to pile up the dry food on the war horse beside Chen Xu.

Seeing the dry food piled up like a hill, the hungry Yuan Jun all had green light in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to pounce on it directly.

Fortunately, there are three peerless generals, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who are eyeing each other, so Yuan Jun did not act rashly.

However, the longing in their eyes could not be concealed.

Seeing this, the smile on Wen Zhao's face became even stronger.

He was angry and shouted, "Due to the rush of time, we didn't bring a lot of dry food. ”

"I know you haven't eaten for a long time, and this little food is not enough to fill your stomachs."

"However, in order for more people to be able to pad their stomachs first, you can only get one piece of dry food first. If anyone dares to take more, there will be no forgiveness! ”

Speaking of this, Wen Zhao's face suddenly became murderous.

Zhao Yun waved his right hand very cooperatively, and the four thousand cavalry waved the weapons in their hands and shouted loudly, the momentum was terrifying.

The murderous four thousand cavalry once again made Yuan Jun's eyes show greed, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.

Chen Xu took the opportunity to say: "You can line up first and come over one by one to receive dry food." ”

As soon as Wen Zhao's words fell, the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan were in a commotion, and you pushed me to the front.

"Don't panic, don't panic, although there is not much dry food here, but each person gets a piece, which is still enough."

After the continuous reprimands of Chen Xu, Zhao Yun and others, the rioting Yuan Jun slowly lined up. Every soldier of Yuan who stepped forward to receive dry food had a happy look on his face.

In front, Yuan Jun, who was a little frightened because Chen Xu led the troops to chase after him, all rushed over after hearing that they were actually distributing food in the back.

Some people ignored Chen Xu's ban and either cut in front of the queue or wanted to get a few more pieces of dry food.

However, when the hundreds of Yuan soldiers who died beside Chen Xu and their bodies were lined up, those Yuan soldiers who came from behind did not dare to continue to be presumptuous.

Zhao Yun looked at the dwindling dry food on the ground, came to Wen Zhao's side, and said in a low voice, "Lord, the dry food is almost gone." ”

Wen Zhao's face not only did not show the slightest anxiety, but showed a faint smile.

When the last piece of dry food was taken away, those Yuan Jun, who were still queuing, all focused on Chen Xu.

With an apologetic look on his face, Wen Zhao said to Yuan Jun, who was still queuing: "I'm really sorry, due to the rush of time, we don't carry too much dry food. ”

"I also feel deeply guilty that you couldn't get dry food for a while."

As soon as Chen Xu's voice fell, those soldiers of Yuan who were still queuing up suddenly rioted.

"Silence! Quiet! ”

Chen Xu was angry and roared loudly twice, and the rioting Yuan Jun calmed down again.

He stared at everyone with blazing eyes and said, "You are acting for the tiger and aiding the abuse, and I actually have no obligation at all to distribute food to you." ”

"However, after all, you are the soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the people of the Han Dynasty. The reason why you follow Yuan Shu is that many people are forced to do so. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xu suddenly pulled out the saber in his waist with his right hand, but he felt out a piece of dry food with his left hand.

He raised his sword and dry food in the air, and shouted in a deep voice: "What you have done before, I can not blame you in the name of the general. ”

"Now, the time has come for you to choose."

"Choose to continue to follow the traitor Yuan Shu and resist the imperial court soldiers, I will use the sharp blade of my right hand to make you feel afraid."

"Choose to abandon the darkness and leave Yuan Shu, as long as you go to the city under my rule, you will get enough food to satisfy your hunger."

Glancing at Yuan Jun, Wen Zhao suddenly shouted: "I give you an hour, if you want to get food and peace, you just need to throw away the weapons in your hands and rush to Yangcheng in the rear, and you will naturally be entertained by the guards in the city." ”

"All those who continue to stay here and obstruct me from leading my troops to pursue and kill Yuan Shu will be my enemies."

"For the enemy, there is no mercy!"

Zhao Yun roared: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

The four thousand cavalry roared in unison: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

Although Yuan's army was numerous, it felt huge pressure in the face of the murderous 4,000 cavalry. Many people couldn't stand this momentum and took a few steps back.

The soldier of Yuan, who was the first to accept Chen Xu's dry food, was also a little afraid.

However, he still mustered up the courage and cautiously said to Chen Xu: "General, there are still children in my family, and I don't want to continue to be a soldier. Can I go to the city under the rule of the general to get some food, and then return home? ”

"It's okay for you to choose this way, as long as you don't continue to fight for the tiger and become our enemy. Whatever you choose, it's your freedom. ”

"Poof!"

When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, general, thank you!" ”

Life or death, for the two choices, the vast majority of Yuan Jun knew in their hearts.

An hour is neither long nor short.

After the word of mouth of those Yuan soldiers who had received dry food, many Yuan soldiers who were in front also got the news.

After all, many of the soldiers were once fellow villagers. Some are in the front, some are in the back.

Those soldiers who had made a decision later naturally did not want to look at their fellow villagers, because they were enemies of Chen Xu, and they lost their lives in vain.

So, after Chen Xu's ultimatum was issued, many Yuan Jun, who heard the news, ran to the front to inform the people they knew.

It didn't take long for all the Yuan Jun to boil.

At this time, because Ji Ling and the others had already escorted Yuan Shu to escape on horseback. Without the suppression of the generals, the news spread even faster.

Many soldiers and soldiers of Yuan also discussed unscrupulously.

not only does not blame the past, but if you want to join the army, you can continue to eat the food of the official family; If you want to go home, you can also go to Yangcheng in advance and get enough dry food to go home.

This kind of condition cannot be described as an unfavorable condition.

At this time, even these soldiers already knew that Yuan Shu's defeat was decided.

What's more, the vast majority of them were also forcibly conscripted into the army, and they were not loyal to Yuan Shu at all.

Naturally, they did not have the slightest resistance to surrendering to the orthodox court.

The only thing that everyone is worried about is whether Chen Xu will fulfill his promise, whether he will stabilize them first and then settle the score.

"Brother, don't worry, the general is kind-hearted, and he didn't want to kill more from the beginning."

"Otherwise, why did the pursuers only kill those who resisted fiercely, but ignored the soldiers hiding on both sides of the road?"

Yuan Jun, who was still a little confused, immediately woke up and said, "Yes, as long as we don't make enemies with the general, we won't be in danger." ”

When the news of Chen Xu's distribution of food and persuasion of everyone swept away all the abandoned Yuan army, there were countless surrenderers.

Even some people who were unwilling to surrender left silently, not daring to stop the progress of Chen's army.

At this point, the 300,000 army led by Yuan Shu has completely collapsed.
