Chapter 85

Su Lu was sleepy and confused.

Because of the serious lack of sleep, Su Lu felt that the tianlinggai seemed to be pulled up by the rope, and wanted to beat the mound in his heart.

Stumbling to his feet, Su Lu asked the mound:

"That Colonel Li and General Li?"

Mound son held Su Lu and looked flustered: "governor, are you okay? I'll find a doctor. I don't know if there is a doctor in this city."

Su Lu sobered up and drank the mound. "Lead the way ahead. What's going on at this time?"

Because she was awakened in deep sleep, Su Lu felt that her brain was about to explode, and her voice couldn't help but bring a trace of indifference.

The mound was frightened. He didn't dare to speak. He bowed his head and led Su Lu to the west of Guancheng. He saw the besieged guards and a group of women and children.

Su Lu came over and the guards separated automatically. The two people still arguing were Li Kun and Li Xiaoqin.

"Aren't they human? Why are you so cruel and watching them starve to death?"

"What is cruel? Seeing that we have no food, brothers are short of food because of you and are killed by Tule people. Is that cruel?"

"Nonsense, when will I let my brothers lack food because of me?"

Listening to their argument, Su Lu looked at the women kneeling on the ground and understood the whole story. After taking a deep breath, Su Lu went in.

When Li Xiaoqin and Li Kun see Su Lu coming, they stop arguing at the same time.

"Governor"

Su Lu looked at both of them. They both had red eyes and lacked sleep.

Two women kneeling on the ground were holding a grain bag in their hands, and another little girl of about three or four years old sat aside to wipe her tears.

The women and children around them were silent one by one. Under the threat of the guard's gun head, they wanted to come but didn't dare to come.

"A colonel, a general, was killed in a sea of blood. What can't be discussed? With this Kung Fu, you can't sleep more and save more strength. You'll stop the Tule attack later."

They both lowered their heads and didn't dare to face Su Lu's anger. They just felt that Su Lu was like a furnace that was about to explode. Once there was anything wrong, they could explode immediately.

After being trained by Su Lu for a while, Li Kun finally couldn't bear it and took the lead in refuting:

"Governor, these women and children are also our Han people. Maybe they have relatives of their brothers!"

"So what?"

Su Lu directly gave Li Kun a kick and kicked him staggering back several steps. Several guards behind him held him up and didn't let him fall.

Li Kun's eyes were wide open. He didn't believe Su Lu would kick him because of this.

"I'll teach you a lesson today. If you're not in charge of the army, what should you do in the face of such a situation?

Give these brothers the rations they stick to for their lives. They can eat your women and children, and then bury the whole guard camp and the planned war situation of the whole Jiedu mansion. "

Li Kun dared not speak.

Li Xiaoqin was a little happy when he heard the speech. He thought Su Lu agreed with him. He was kind and didn't take charge of the army. There were many military skills. If you want to win a war, you can't be kind.

"And you, General Li Xiaoqin, the former commander of the Ding army."

Su Lu's violent drinking pulled Li Xiaoqin out of his complacency and looked at Su Lu with an ignorant face. He didn't understand why Su Lu was angry with himself again.

"Have you seen these women and children? They are all flesh and blood. They are not the cold figure of 500 war losses in your military affairs booklet. They also have relatives, husbands, fathers and sons."

"Of course, it won't be your relative of governor Li Xiaoqin, but he may be your wife, mother and daughter.

Have you ever thought about what your own soldiers would think when they starved to death like this? What would he think this victory would bring him? "

Li Xiaoqin's face was as gray as death. He always took charge of the army and thought he was not too strict, but his birth as a general restricted his eyes after all. Military books and strategies could not teach him these things.

He was scolded by Su Lu. It seems that there are answers to the difficult problems that haunted him before. Why did paoze, who began to be concentric with himself, gradually stay away from himself, and sometimes even stab himself in the back.

"Uncle, here's the food. Don't hit that uncle. He's a good man."

The little girl tried to lift up the bag containing more than three kilograms of flour and wanted to pass it to Su Lu.

"My mother said, the uncle was right. You beat away the Tule people, and we can live."

"If you don't have enough to eat, we can't live."

Su Lu took the cloth bag, squatted down, looked at the little girl's face full of black dirt, reached out to help her wipe away the tears on her cheek, and said softly:

"Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Xiaomi. My mother said that Xiaomi is a kind of delicious porridge. She drank a bowl after giving birth to me. It's very sweet."

Xiaomi's cheeks were full of smiles. He glanced at the grain bag in Su Lu's hand and licked his lips. His voice was hoarse:

"My mother said that at that time, the Tule people had not hit us. Millet was planted everywhere and millet could be drunk every year."

"Uncle, will we have millet to drink in the future?"

Xiaomi licked his lips and looked at Su Lu. His thin cheeks were full of naive smiles.

"Yes, we'll drink millet."

Su Lu rubbed Xiaomi's face and couldn't bear to look again. He looked at several women behind him. He saw a woman with loess on her face smiling at herself. She looked like she wanted to come to pick up Xiaomi but didn't dare to come.

"Is there any millet in the camp, mound?"

Su Lu asked the mound behind him.

The mound quickly answered, "a little more, governor."

Su Lu nodded: "give my share to Xiaomi tonight."

Su Lu got up and told the women and children, "this is an army city. The Tule people will attack the city at any time. The guards don't raise useless people and can't give you food for nothing. If you want to eat three meals a day, let me see what you can do to survive?"

A group of women and children are ignorant and don't understand what Su Lu means.

Li Kun, who was nearby, was in a hurry and struggled from several guards: "cooking, washing clothes, feeding horses, boiling water and transporting weapons are all OK."

Xiaomi took his mother's hand and shouted hoarsely, "my mother can starch clothes and cook."

Su Lu looked at Xiaomi and said, "OK, stand aside. If you can get together three people to guarantee later, you will be used to fight the kitchen army. The reward is three meals a day for you and your daughter."

A group of people didn't know what the reward was, but it didn't prevent them from knowing three meals a day, so they shouted in panic:

"I can cook"

"I can wash clothes"

"I have the strength to do farm work and send things."

A group of women and children basically shouted out what they could do.

Su Lu turned around and kicked Li Kun down: "you took the upper part of this matter. Verify their identity for me. Only three people can use it with a guarantee."

Then he turned to Li Xiaoqin: "you are responsible for supervising from the side, and you can't make me sleep."

After scolding for a few words, Su Lu left unhappily, leaving women and children crying in embrace, Li Kun crying with joy and Li Xiaoqin with admiration on his face.

In the crowd, soldier Zheng Kai wiped the tears in his eyes with his sleeve. What a good general.
