Soldiers come to the world

Early the next morning, Liu Qubei received the news that he did not want to hear. In one night, more than [-] soldiers actually froze to death. This made Liu Qubei speechless for a long time. , but he did not expect that more than [-] people froze to death. This made him very sad, but he was speechless.

Mr. Wan who reported to him said: "My lord, most of these soldiers who were frozen to death are sick and weak, so they cannot withstand the cold air of the snowy night. I believe that tonight will be much better, no So many people die."

Liu Qubei sighed and said, "All those who freeze to death should be thrown into the valley! Treat it as a sky burial, and leave it on the straight road. I'm afraid it will cause disease."

"It's okay in such a cold day, but if you stay on the straight road and let other soldiers see it, it will seriously affect the morale of the army. It's better to leave the valley behind as your majesty said."

Liu Qubei immediately ordered that all the bodies of the frozen soldiers be thrown into the deep valley, and he ordered the soldiers to look for firewood and bushes in the south to burn fire and keep warm. On the other side is a deep valley of hundreds of feet. The only way to get some firewood is from the mountains. However, due to the cold weather some time ago, the trees within dozens of miles have been cut down. If you want to find firewood, you have to go south to find it.

However, a more serious problem faced the Huns cavalry, that is, there was no horsepower, more than half of the horses were slaughtered for food, and the remaining ten thousand horses were dying due to the extreme lack of horse feed. Soldiers go to the south to find firewood, and walk dozens of miles to find firewood on only two legs. This is more terrifying than going to the battlefield.

But Liu Qubei didn't care so much. He ordered to pick out [-] strong soldiers, give them a full meal, and ordered them to search for firewood fifty miles away. The [-] soldiers were helpless. Nan went to look for firewood.

The snow fell more and more heavily. After two days and two nights, the heavy snow accumulated thickly on the hillside, and the unbalanced snow blocks kept sliding down, all of which were piled up on the straight road. It has reached the waist, and it is difficult to take an inch.

The [-] soldiers who went to look for firewood returned in embarrassment after a day. If they wanted to walk fifty miles away to find firewood in this weather, they would never return. What's more, the straight road was blocked by heavy snow, making it impossible to go south.

At night, less than 8000 Xiongnu soldiers huddled together at the foot of the mountain to resist the cold wind and hunger. In just two nights, [-] people were frozen to death. This is the third night. I don’t know how many People will return to their hometown.

The soldiers were cold and hungry, cursing in a low voice. At this time, all the soldiers let go, cursing Liu Qubei and those senior generals unscrupulously. They have tents, animal skins, and it is said that they also have deliciously roasted beef and mutton , There is also intoxicating milk wine, which makes the hungry and cold soldiers hate to the extreme.

"Brother, why do you think the king refuses to surrender?" A young soldier whispered to a centurion, who was also his elder brother.

The centurion sneered and said, "We can survive if we surrender, but he can only die if he surrenders. He would rather wait for Shanyu to come to his rescue than surrender. Anyway, we will freeze to death and starve to death. He can't die if he eats and drinks." .”

"This shitty day!"

The soldier cursed in a low voice, and then asked, "Will Shan Yu come to rescue us?"

The centurion shook his head, "It's snowing so much, Shan Yu himself can't protect himself, so he came to rescue us? Don't count on it."

"But we're going to die that way."

The young soldier was frightened and couldn't help crying, "Brother, I want to go home, I want to go home and see my parents!"

The centurion put his arms around his brother's shoulders lovingly, and comforted him softly: "Be patient for another two days, the situation will definitely change."

Even though he said this, he sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly regret that his brother was only 17 years old, and he really shouldn't have taken him to the battlefield. If there was something wrong with him, how would he explain it to his parents.

This is, someone shouted in the distance: "The meat in front is dry, go and get it!"

The young soldier became anxious immediately. He knew that the amount of jerky was very small, and they would probably lose it when they got this far. "Brother, I'll get the jerky!" He immediately got up and ran forward.

The centurion didn't grab him, and saw his brother rushing into the darkness. Not long after, there was a burst of shouting and cursing from the front, followed by someone screaming, and someone shouted, "Killer in front!"

The centurion was startled, and ran forward with his knife in hand. He ran several hundred steps, and came to the place where the crowd gathered. The centurion pushed aside the crowd and squeezed in. He saw a person lying on the ground. He rushed forward and shouted: "Small teeth! Fine teeth!"

His brother's throat had been cut off, and he was already dead. The centurion suddenly raised his head, his blood-red eyes staring at the fleshy officer, who had killed his brother.

The officer said coldly: "Everyone is only allowed to take one piece, but he wants to take two pieces. He deserves death!"

"I kill you!"

The centurion let out a roar, and swung his knife at the officer. The officer greeted him with a knife, and cursed, "Are you crazy? I am the ration officer appointed by the king. Do you want to die?"

The centurion didn't say a word, and slashed at the food officer with the knife in his hand like crazy. Seeing the ferocious approach, the food officer took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, his foot slipped and he staggered. At this moment, the head of the centurion The knife hit his right leg. The food officer yelled and fell to the ground. The centurion rushed forward and chopped off his head.

The surrounding soldiers all cried out in alarm and backed away one after another. The centurion put the head in front of his brother and burst into tears. At this moment, someone shouted: "Da Ya, run away. This army ration officer is the king's bodyguard. You have caused a catastrophe!" Come on, let's go!"

The centurion suddenly had a heart attack, he was going to die anyway, and he stood up and shouted to the crowd: "The food is running out, the horse meat is almost gone, it's snowing heavily, Shan Yu won't come to rescue us, we Either freeze to death or starve to death, instead of dying here, we might as well surrender! At least we can save our lives and go home to see our wives and children.”

The centurion's words resonated with everyone, and everyone raised their hands and shouted, "We are willing to surrender, and we don't want to freeze to death here."

"Surrender! Surrender!"

The shouting became louder and louder. The centurion waved his hand, and the crowd fell silent again. He shouted: "Everyone follow me to Wuting Pass and surrender. If the king refuses, we will fight him!"

The fire of hatred ignited in the hearts of the Huns soldiers. Thousands of soldiers followed the centurion and walked towards Wuting Pass. The team was mighty and powerful.

To go to Wuting Pass, you must pass through the tent area. At this time, Liu Qubei heard that some soldiers were going to rebel and surrender. He couldn't help being furious.

"Who is the leader, stand up for me!" Liu Qubei roared loudly.

The centurion stood up under the eyes of everyone. At this moment, he only had hatred in his heart, and he said without fear: "I am the leader!"

If Liu Qubei apologized kindly at this time and took out cattle and sheep to appease the soldiers, it might be able to calm down the imminent mutiny of soldiers, but Liu Qubei has no way out. If he shows weakness, there will be more soldiers making trouble tomorrow. He can only treat these soldiers toughly. As long as the leader is killed, the rest of the soldiers will naturally be scared away.

Liu Qubei didn't explain, and ordered the guard coldly: "Kill him!"

Several guards rushed up with their knives, and the centurion raised his knives and shouted: "Brothers, we will fight!"

At this moment, the anger accumulated in the hearts of the soldiers finally erupted. Thousands of soldiers roared angrily and raised their knives to kill Liu Qubei and hundreds of his guards. At the critical moment, the soldiers of the Huns broke out in mutiny
