Han Shimou

Chapter 543 The Vulnerability of People's Heart

Two hours later, these locals had a lot of gains. When they couldn't wait to rush back to the city, suddenly a team of Cao soldiers rushed over from all directions, and a gun with cold light, even under the cover of the night, was extremely eye-catching. The local people were so scared that they fled in a hurry, but the mountains and fields were full of Cao Jun. Soon, these local people were caught and tied up by Cao soldiers and escorted back to Cao Cao Cao.

When Cao Bing escorted the local people to Cao's camp, the night left early, and it was already dawn. When Cao Cao heard the soldiers coming to report, he looked happy and hurried to see the captured people. These local people were very hard-lined, and they all had a stiff face and put on an attitude of killing and killing.

Cao Cao did not get angry because of this, but ordered the soldiers to get dry food and give it to these people. Those natives were still a little backbone and wanted to refuse Cao Cao. But when they saw the piece of dry cake, their blood suddenly erupted all over their bodies, and their brains exploded, as if they were crazy. They rushed to the dry cake in Cao Bing's hand and picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth. Maybe it was because he ate too fast. A native was almost choked to death. Fortunately, a Cao soldier swallowed water for him in time to avoid a ridiculous tragedy. Soon, these local people ate up all the dry cakes given by Cao Bing, but their hunger was not only not eliminated, but also fierce. They looked at Cao Cao with extremely complicated eyes, begging and urgent. Among them, there were some threats, as if Cao Cao did not give them dry food, they would rush over. Work hard with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Ha ha, do you still want it?"

Several natives nodded quickly like chickens pecking rice.

"The etiquette is still going. The Prime Minister can let you have a full meal, but on the contrary, you also have to do something for the Prime Minister in return.

As soon as Cao Cao said this, the faces of the local people suddenly changed greatly and immediately shook their heads one after another, and one of the locals said.

"Liu Xuzhou is unparalleled in benevolence. How can we abandon him for some food! If you want to kill, you can invite me. If I frown, I'm not a good man!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and narrowed, almost narrowed into a slit, and said with a smile.

"Ha ha, don't worry. I won't kill you. Come on, kick them out of the camp!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and suddenly issued an order. The faces of the natives changed again. It seemed that they didn't expect Cao Cao to let them go. Soon, several locals ran out of Cao's camp under the push of Cao Bing's guns. Seeing that Cao Bing did not come to chase him, the local people quickly fled down the mountain. However, when they were about to escape, these local people couldn't help looking at Cao Ying, as if there was something in it that made them reluctant to give up.

These escaped natives secretly sneaked under Longquan City, and several natives received a signal to open the gate and let them enter the city.

How about it? If you don't come back all night, will you be rewarded?"

These locals originally made a plan. Everyone went out to look for food, and some people stayed in the city to watch the wind. They waited for the people who went out to look for food to return. Then, as a response, they were responsible for opening the gate for the returnees.

"Hey! Unlucky, don't say it. I'll almost die!"

"Ah! Are you going to be discovered by Cao Bing!"

"Shh! Silently, this is not the place to talk. Wait and come with me."

One of the local men pointed to the open space on the side and led seven or eight local people to an open space.

It's also weird to say. Our brothers were indeed found by Cao Bing last night and were also captured by them. However, after we were taken to Cao's camp, we saw Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han nationality. Instead of adding knives and sticks to us, he gave our brothers dry food and food. Later, he wanted our brother to work for him, but Liu Xuzhou was so benevolent that we would not betray him. When Cao saw that I refused, he was not angry. He actually let our brothers go.

After the local man said, a simple and dull man's face suddenly changed. He quickly grabbed the talking man with one hand and wanted to pick it into his mouth with his hand.

"Hey! You are crazy!"

"Fool! Don't avoid it. I'm saving you. Aren't you afraid that Cao Cao is poisoning your dry food!"

"You are a fool! What a character Cao Cao is, how can he make these tricks on us little people? What's more, if Cao Cao wants to kill us and let a few soldiers take action, why bother to poison us!"

"Uh. What you said is also reasonable. But we obviously have a hostile relationship with Cao Cao. Why didn't he kill you, but gave you food? It's really puzzling."

"If Cao Cao can be the face of the Han Dynasty, how can we ordinary people guess? Anyway, that's all for this matter. Don't mention it again. Otherwise, it will be known by others and report to the elders in the clan. Even if Liu Xuzhou does not punish us heavily, the elders of the clan will not easily bypass us!"

After discussing in the dark for a while, the seven or eight locals dispersed separately.

Day by day, hunger and thirst are like ten thousand ants eating every people and soldier in Longquan County. More and more people die from hunger and thirst, especially those newborn dolls, who have died in nearly dozens of days. In Longquan County, there are sad and heartbreaking cries from time to time.

One day, two local men couldn't stand it. Their wives kowtowed and cried. They all had newborn babies in their families. If they didn't eat, they would watch their babies starve to death.

These two local men are exactly two of the people captured by the Cao army. They called their former accomplices to discuss and wanted to go to Cao's camp to ask for food. At this moment, in order to save their children's lives, they didn't care whether this move could be achieved. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would also catch it.

At night, two native men sneaked out of the city again and ran all the way to Caoying. Soon, the two native men were caught by the patrolling Cao soldiers and brought them to Cao Cao again. This time, Cao Cao made it in the same way and gave him dry food first. The two local men picked up the dry cake and were about to eat it. Suddenly, he remembered the baby at home, quickly stopped his mouth, and then stuffed the dry cake into his arms to put away the dry cake.

"Oh. This dry cake is given to you by the Prime Minister. Why don't you eat it?

"The Prime Minister forgives you! The little man has been hungry for the baby in the family for several days. There is no food import anymore. I'm afraid he won't live for a few days! I also hope that the Prime Minister will give a few more pieces of dry cakes for the villain. There are still a lot of children in the city, and they are starving to death!"

Cao Cao meditated on his face and looked at the two native men silently, saying with a little regret.

"You know that there is no food in the city, and it is difficult to stick to it. If you continue to do so, in less than three days, most of the people in the city will starve to death. In another five days, there will be no living people in the city. At this time, do you still have to be obsessed and help the big-eared thief stick to Longquan!"

"Liu Xuzhou Renyi!!!"

"Bullshit benevolence!!! If Liu Daer knows the word benevolence and righteousness, he should open the gate and surrender voluntarily! Instead of letting you wait to be buried with him!!! He can't even save the lives of your people. What kind of benevolence!!!"

Before the local people's words were half over, they were blocked by Cao Cao's huge shouting. The Chinese characters in Cao Cao's words seemed to have magic, so that the two natives could hardly maintain their hearts.

"Can..."

"But what!? The Prime Minister might as well tell you that the grain storage in our camp can last for another three months. There is only one way to die in Longquan! That's all. I'll allow you to bring back these pieces of dry food. But this is the last time. If you dare to ask for food later, don't blame Prime Minister Ben for being ruthless!"

"Ah~! Prime Minister Cao is generous, and the villain will kowtow to you!"

Cao Cao suddenly grabbed a few pieces of dry cakes in one hand and threw them at the two natives. The two locals quickly catched them, both with excitement on their faces, and later kowtowed heavily to Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao was smiling coldly.

"Hmm. How long can you wait with these pieces of dry food alone? One day? Two days? Or a month? The Prime Minister is just pitiful. Those children, not long after they came to this world, lost their lives because of the ignorance of their fathers!"

Cao Cao's cold words suddenly sounded, which immediately broke the moral defense line in the hearts of the two natives. As Cao Cao said, these pieces of dry cakes can be eaten by the children in the city for a day at most. It won't take long for the children to be hungry again.

Tigers don't eat children, let alone people. The eyes of the two natives were pale, and they all had an impulsive idea in their hearts.

Cao Cao saw that he was waiting for this opportunity. But Cao Cao was not in a hurry, but waited quietly.

After half a pillar of incense, the two natives seemed to have made a decision and bowed to Cao Cao. Cao Cao immediately smiled and immediately ordered the soldiers to bring piles of dry food and put them in front of the two natives.

At the same time, in Longquan City, Liu Bei was so hungry that he couldn't sleep. He walked in the backyard of the house. Suddenly, Liu Bei's heart grabbed and stopped his pace. An ominous foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Oh, my God!!! Why do you torture me Liu Xuande so much!!! I have royal blood, but I can't be recognized by the world. Over the years, I have worked hard and finally gathered forces, and I lost it all at once!!! Up to now, I have been forced to be so sad by Cao Mengde. Can't you tolerate me!!!"

Liu Bei was tortured by hunger and thirst for many days. His body was as thin as dry wood, and his face was white and bloodless, just like a mummified corpse. He looked up at Haoyue, his face was ferocious and horrible, and he roared in his heart!

Three update at night, at the north gate of Longquan. The two natives who returned from Cao Ying sent a signal, and soon the north gate slowly opened a trace. Before the people in the door spoke, the two natives pushed a large bag wrapped in dry food in their hands into the crack of the door. I don't know what the locals in the door were. They didn't have time to pick them up for a while, and suddenly hundreds of dried cakes in the bag fell to the ground one after another.

This is like a hungry wolf who is starving to death. Suddenly, he saw a piece of blood Linlin's big meat, and the people in the door rushed to the dry cake on the ground like crazy.

The two natives took the opportunity to push the gate on one side and used their strength to open a huge crack in the gate. And those natives who were grabbing the dry cakes were not in the mood to take care of the gate and stuff the dry cakes on the ground into their mouths. However, the loud noise of the movement of the city gate woke up many locals guarding the city. After the local people were awakened, they shouted and ran to the gate.

At this moment, a team of cavalry flying like a fire wind outside the north gate rushed to the crack of the city gate under the leadership of Cao Chun.

This cavalry is the imperial elite soldier under Cao Cao's command, a tiger and leopard riding. Every tiger and leopard rider was holding a rolling burden. Cao Chun was the first to rush into the city gate. Some of the locals who arrived were about to stop it with guns. Unexpectedly, Cao Chun threw the burden in his hand into the air, and suddenly countless dried cakes fell from the air.

For the people of Longquan, at this moment, these dry cakes are as deadly **. As soon as these dry cakes appeared, their hunger immediately occupied all their thoughts and rushed to the dried cakes that fell into the air crazily. After that, every tiger and leopard riding in will follow Cao Chun's example and throw the burden full of dry cakes into the air. The dry cakes fall like raindrops, making every native fall into the madness of losing their minds.
