Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 99
The red sun was scorching, and the earth was baked by the scorching sun like freshly baked bread.

Outside the city walls of Luoyang, there was no cool breeze, the scorching air was unbearably hot, and the sand was so hot that even wearing cloth shoes seemed to burn through.The only relatively shady place is the trench dug by the soldiers and civilians at the foot of the city.

New mud was constantly thrown up, and the dug out soil was still moist because the trench was deepened, and nearly [-] city soldiers and peasants were working under the scorching heat.They were bare shoulders, wielding clumsy digging tools and sweating profusely.They have been working continuously for half a day under the scorching heat, their bodies are too weak to withstand the relentless heat, and many suffer from heat stroke.But when some people wanted to rest, the overseer who was escaping the heat in the shade immediately waved his horsewhip in his hand, and slapped them brutally and mercilessly. Their skin was torn apart, bloodstained, sweat stained on the wound, and the pain was so painful that it made people gasp. I had to grit my teeth and stand up to work again.Some manpower was exhausted to the extreme, and after they fell down, they were flogged to death by the supervisor.

In less than a moment, two soldiers dragged the corpse to bury it to prevent the corpse from smelling and causing disease in the scorching heat.

Finally, the gates of the city were opened wide, and more than a dozen carts filled with vats were pushed out.

"Dinner is ready!" a foreman standing on a high place shouted loudly.

Immediately, the hard workers covered in mud under the ditch immediately dropped their tools and rushed to climb up, scrambling to grab the past.

The vat was filled with porridge water that could hardly be scooped out with a little bit of rice, and musty steamed buns.But for these hungry hard workers, it's like delicacies from mountains and seas.I don't know how much porridge water was overturned on the ground, and mixed with the soil to form a disgusting mud.Of course, the hard labor who overturned the porridge was not uncommonly scolded and beaten by the supervisors.

"Lieutenant Sun, don't these porridges taste good?" Guo Bang's lieutenant, Duan Yan, came over with a group of entourages.He looked at Sun Hou and the others who were squatting beside the ditch in embarrassment, drinking porridge and water with a playful face.

Ever since Chen Wei burned Cao Ying's food and grass, and there was no news, Guo Si used unnecessary charges to beat all Chen Wei's old troops into soldiers defending the city, and was sent outside the city to build city defense projects.

Sun Hou, whose face was full of mud, lowered his head and did not answer, his mouth was full of moldy steamed buns.Sun Hou is a dignified captain. If it was in the Taiping era, the captain would have been the highest military rank in a city.Even in the troubled times where the generals are like hemp, it is still the position of leading troops to fight.But after Chenwei left and never returned, news spread in Luoyang City that Chenwei was deeply involved in Cao Ying's death, and Sun Hou and nearly a hundred old subordinates who supported Chenwei were suppressed by Guo Bang, and their status was reduced to a lower level. Waiting for the city defense soldiers.

Duan Yan looked at the embarrassment of Sun Hou and others, and laughed heartily, "Seeing that you are hungry like dogs, it seems that the food is not bad!"

Duan Yao's followers at the back suddenly burst into laughter, and the mocking sound continued.

Apparently, Sun Hou and the others had often mocked and humiliated each other these days, so he moved away with the porridge and steamed buns.

The sarcasm in Duan Yan's eyes became stronger, he walked up to Sun Hou and squatted down with a smile, he reached out and knocked over the little porridge in Sun Hou's hand, and then pretended to be sorry and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, I knocked it over. I have eaten Sun Duwei's delicacies and soups!"

Sun Hou raised his head abruptly, his dirty face glared at Duan Yao who was gloating over his misfortune.

Duan Yao was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Sun Duwei's dignified military generals, how can they eat and drink the same things as these lowly peasants? Even if they drink, they have to drink two bowls. Come, bring me two bowls of porridge again. .”

Immediately, someone brought over two bowls of porridge and water, and handed them to Duan Yao.

Duan Yao smiled smugly, took a bowl and handed it to Sun Hou, with a sincere look on his face, he said, "I know that you are wronged, Captain Sun, and it would be overkill for you to dig a trench, but No, come on, brother, I will add food to you today, and I will express my apology to you on behalf of General Guo."

After finishing speaking, Duan Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and with a puff, he spit out a mouthful of phlegm into the porridge.

Duan Yan's subordinates standing around were full of ridicule and rage, while nearly a hundred soldiers who were loyal to Chen Wei looked at this scene with shame and anger, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

Sun Hou's face finally revealed insulting anger, he pushed Duan Yao's hand away with a palm, and all the porridge in the bowl poured on Duan Yao's body.

A flash of anger flashed across Duan Yan's playful eyes, and he stood up angrily.

The subordinates behind him rushed up immediately, trying to surround and beat Sun Hou.Duan Yan stretched out his hand to stop his subordinates, and said with a smile: "He is a captain, how could you treat him like this. Grab his limbs for me!"

Sun Hou shouted furiously: "Duan Yan, don't bully people too much!"

Duan Yan took the cloth handed over by his subordinates and wiped off the porridge water on his body, then raised his head and sneered, cursing: "Too much bullying? You've broken me. Did I bully someone just now? Don't talk about you, even Chen In the eyes of the general, Wei is just a worthless dog. And you are just that dog's follower..."

Sun Hou clenched his teeth tightly, his cheeks puffed up from the anger in his heart, and glared at Duan Yan.

The subordinates behind Duan Yan had already surrounded Sun Hou. Sun Hou was very skilled, and several big men failed to restrain Sun Hou.Duan Yan sneered, and while Sun Hou was busy dealing with the others, he made a sneak attack and directly hit Sun Hou's temple with his elbow.

Sun Hou only felt a buzzing in his ears, and his mind was confused. He was immediately restrained by the opponent, and one of them took a scabbard and smashed hard on Sun Hou's knee cartilage. Kneeling on the ground, someone behind grabbed Sun Hou's hair and pulled his face.

The rest of Chen Wei's old department and others couldn't help but swarmed forward, wanting to lend a helping hand.But Duan Yan yelled violently: "What? Are you going to rebel?"

As soon as this sound came out, although everyone was angry, they did not dare to bear the charge of rebellion.In troubled times, human life is cheap, and there is no reason for a general to execute his soldiers.

Duan Yan glanced contemptuously at the people around him, then strutted in front of Sun Hou, unbuttoned his belt, and said with a smirk, "I'll let you taste the urine of Lao Tzu if you don't drink the fine wine."

Duan Yan pissed directly on Sun Hou's face, and Duan Yan's subordinates around him laughed.

……

Five miles away from Luoyang City, a group of people came hurriedly.The scorching sun made it difficult for everyone to move.These people were all shirtless and sweating profusely.When everyone saw the city wall of Luoyang from a distance, they couldn't help but let out a jump, and their steps quickened a lot.

"Chen Wei, Luoyang is in sight." Even though Jia Xu was a literati, she was so hot that she took off her literati robe at this time, and only wore a close-fitting undershirt.

Chen Wei's physical fitness has always been excellent, and the intense heat didn't make him uncomfortable.However, after being poisoned and losing too much blood, his body suddenly became much weaker. Although the toxins in his body have been eliminated by now, Chen Wei's body is still far from the peak state after traveling for days and eating poor food.In such a scorching hot weather, Chen Wei couldn't bear to let the soldiers carry him forward, so he insisted on walking side by side with Jia Xu, but he kept wiping off his sweat and panting slightly.

However, Luoyang City was just around the corner, and the hard and bumpy days finally came to an end.

"In the future, I will definitely let Guo Si have a taste of this kind of escape." Chen Wei looked at Luoyang City, which was getting closer and closer. At this moment, he was also naked from the upper body. Still full of strength, he put the "Blood Blade" on his arm, wiped his sweat, and cursed with a smile.

Jia Xu laughed, and then said: "I believe that I will be able to see this delightful scene!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Finally, after bypassing a low slope, you can see the majestic Luoyang City.After several months of construction, Luoyang City became stronger.

And at this moment, Chen Wei could see a large group of people surrounded by the city wall ahead.

"Could it be that Guo Si heard the news and knew we were back, so he set up a battle to welcome us?" Chen Wei joked.

"No, with Guo Bang's mind, it's a great righteousness not to send people to block and kill us!" Jia Xu laughed.

During these days, the friendship between Chen Wei and Jia Xu has increased a bit, and the two get along very well.

When Chen Wei and others walked in, they finally saw the situation at the foot of the city clearly, and a burst of mocking laughter came from the crowd.

Chen Wei and Jia Xu didn't care either. Jia Xu said to a soldier behind him, "Go to the city and report to General Guo Si. Our General Chen is back."

The soldier took the order and ran towards the foot of the city, shouting excitedly: "General Chen is back, General Chen is back..."

"It's been more than half a month since we left Luoyang, if Guo Si knew we could come back alive, what kind of face would he have?" Jia Xu laughed.

"Don't think about it, it must be as ugly as it is." Chen Wei laughed.

But at this moment, when the people at the foot of the city heard that Chen Wei had come back, they all turned around as if they had been hit by a thunderstorm.

Immediately, Chen Wei's old subordinate recognized Chen Wei, and immediately shouted excitedly, "General Chen is back, Captain, General Chen is back!"

When the crowd moved away, Chen Wei smiled when he saw those familiar faces. These soldiers followed him from Chang'an and were loyal to him after the battle of Sanjiao Mountain.

But when Chen Wei saw the scene between the people, his expression suddenly became ugly, which was exactly what he said just now: "It's as ugly as it is."

Duan Yan, who was pumping his trousers, suddenly heard outside the crowd calling for Chen Wei to come back. He laughed angrily, and scolded at the crowd: "You bastards, I will let you go if you call Chen Wei back in the future? Beat me to death!" Like a dog leg!"

When Duan Yan's subordinates heard the news, they grabbed trench digging shovels and other tools and greeted those Chen Wei's old subordinates.

The crowd avoided one after another, revealing a path.Duan Yan looked up and was stunned when he saw Chen Wei and the others covered in dust and extremely embarrassed.

After a while, he finally came back to his senses, shook his head tsk tsk, and said mockingly: "Oh, isn't this General Chen Weichen, who escaped back without dying?"
