Sun Quan secretly gritted his teeth and made an oath in his heart. Unfortunately, just when he gritted his teeth and swore, his stomach began to twitch unsatisfactorily. The severe colic caused by hunger made him break into a cold sweat in the blink of an eye. "Second Young Master, the general has caught a few more deserters who want to cross the city. Second Young Master, please tell me how to deal with them." A tiger-bear military general, with a group of soldiers, escorted three Jiangdong who were so hungry that only skin and bones were left. The soldiers came. When Sun Quan saw these deserters, he became very angry. He raised his whip and whipped it towards the deserters frantically. "You spineless dogs, I'll let you run away, let you run away¡ª¡ª" He cursed endlessly, and with every stroke of his whip, Sun Quan almost used all his strength to whip the three deserters until they whined and moaned. The skin is torn. "Second Young Master, please spare your life. I know my guilt, I know my crime~~" The deserters fell on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, but Sun Quan was indifferent and only beat them endlessly. Sun Quan's furious look seemed like he wanted to vent all his anger towards Yuan Fang on these soldiers. Those Jiangdong soldiers on the left and right were so frightened when they saw their second son in such a cruel manner that they did not dare to speak out loud. The shrill howling sound made people's hearts tremble. In a short time, the three deserters were knocked to the ground, writhing in pain. At the beginning, they were still howling for mercy. Gradually, the howling became smaller and smaller until there was no sound, and the three deserters were already lying on the ground. Not moving at all. Sun Quan actually whipped them to death. Such vigorous beatings exhausted Sun Quan's remaining physical strength. He was panting and venting his anger, but he felt dizzy, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground. ¡°Second Young Master~~¡± Zhou Tai screamed and rushed forward. ¡ When Sun Quan woke up, he found himself in a warm military tent. The blazing fire roasted the body very uncomfortably. There was even a lingering scent of broth that invaded his nose unbridled. Sun Quan sat up and saw his general Zhou Tai and Xun Yu, the great counselor left by Cao Pi. At the moment he is squatting by the stove. Stirring a small pot of broth. That rich meaty aroma. Sun Quan's tongue instantly surged with fluid, and his unsatisfied stomach began to growl again. Xun Yu heard the noise and turned around to see Sun Quan. He smiled bitterly and said: "Second Young Master, you finally woke up. Come on, drink a bowl of horse meat soup while it's hot." After saying that, Xun Yu gave him a bowl of steaming horse meat soup. Sun Quan also paid attention to it. Without any manners, he picked it up and drank it in big gulps. The army's food and grass have been exhausted, and even the horse meat has been eaten. Now the soldiers can only chop the leftover horse bones into pieces, add some bark and grass roots, and cook them over and over again to satisfy their hunger. Even for a person of Sun Quan¡¯s status, what he ate was just a few more bones and dregs than the average soldier¡¯s bowl. Now that he suddenly had broth to drink, Sun Quan was so happy that he drank several bowls in a row without caring about anything. What surprised Sun Quan even more was that there was not only soup in this bowl, but also a lot of horse meat. For a person who was so hungry that he could hardly remember what the meat tasted like, this bowl of rough horse meat was , simply more delicious than delicacies from the mountains and seas. Sun Quan drank several bowls in one breath until he finally felt full again, then Sun Quan stopped. At this time, there was only some bottom left in the large pot of broth. The pale Xun Yu poured the remaining bottom into the bowl and cleaned up everything. Sun Quan regained his strength and regained his energy. Suddenly he realized something and asked curiously: "Mr. Wen Ruo, haven't all the horse meat been eaten? What happened to this pot? Could it be that the eldest brother sent him Are reinforcements coming?" Xun Yu gave a bitter laugh and sighed: "It has been almost a month since we besieged the city. We haven't seen any reinforcements. I'm afraid that General Sun will not send any soldiers to rescue us. This piece of horse meat was secretly left by Xun Yu for the last moment." " "The last moment?" Sun Quan looked suspicious. Xun Yu's expression gradually became determined. He stood up and said silently: "Chaisang City can no longer be defended. Second Young Master, why not take advantage of the fact that the city is not broken and order the entire army to abandon the city and break through after dusk tomorrow? Only in this way can we have a way out." Upon hearing this, Sun Quan's expression was suddenly shocked, and a look of surprise appeared on his eyebrows. "However, the order given to us by eldest brother is to hold on to Chaisang. If I abandon the city and leave, the door to Jiangdong will be knocked open by Yuan thieves. Then I'm afraid"? ?Sun Quan hesitated, fearing that he would not be able to shoulder this important task. Xun Yu sighed bitterly and said helplessly: "There are no reinforcements from outside and no food and grass inside. The morale of the soldiers is shattered. Countless people are fleeing across the city. The people have begun to exchange their sons for food. If we continue to defend, we will only die." " Sun Quan fell silent. He had to admit that although what Xun Yu said was cruel, it was all true. After a long silence, Sun Quan let out a long sigh, assuming that he acquiesced to Xun Yu's proposal. "However, Chaisang City is surrounded like this. It's not easy to break out of the siege." Sun Quan was worried again. "Don't worry, Second Young Master." A sneer appeared on Xun Yu's lips, "You have a plan to ensure that we can successfully break through." With a sneer, Xun Yu explained his plan. Sun Quan became more and more delighted as he listened, and his frown quietly disappeared. After hearing this strategy, Sun Quan pondered for a long time and said happily: "Okay, let's use Wen Ruo's strategy to break out of the siege." "Second Young Master, have a good night's rest today and recharge your batteries. We will break out of the siege tomorrow." Yu comforted Sun Quan for a few words before retiring. Zhou Tai also left the tent and went to prepare. In the big tent, only Sun Quan was left, and there were still traces of the remaining scent of meat. Sun Quan raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, clenched his fists, bit his teeth that were mostly missing, and said bitterly: "Yuan Fang, thief, wait until I escape from the siege. One day, I, Sun Quan, will repay you for the humiliation you have done to me." Chai Sang Outside the city, the Qi army camped. Throughout the camp, the aroma of meat filled the air. The soldiers of the Qi army sat around the roaring fire in twos and threes, tasting the broth, chatting and laughing, and they were all high-spirited. And inside the imperial tent, the aroma of meat and wine filled the tent. The tables were filled with sumptuous meat and wine, and Yuan Fang was munching on the delicious leg of lamb. "If Sun Quan and other hungry people in the city saw this situation, they would definitely swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva in envy. The weather has been good this autumn, and the northern states have had a bumper harvest. The granaries have piled up mountains of grain and grass, which can support several years of military supplies. Yuan Fang, who has no worries about grain and grass, of course wants to reward him with wine and meat in this cold winter for countless bloody battles. Soldiers of the moon. The soldiers worked hard for him, licking the blood with their swords, and they lost their lives at some point. Of course, Yuan Fang had to feed them. Only when they were full could they have the strength to go into battle and kill the enemy. This has always been the principle that Yuan Fang believed in. Having eaten most of the half leg of lamb, Yuan Fang, who was full of wine and meat, sat lazily and looked at the generals chatting and laughing in front of the tent with interest. At this time, Yi from outside the tent came to report from the pro-army army, saying that he was an envoy sent by Sun Quan in the city and was seeking an audience outside the tent at the moment. Sun Quan¡¯s envoy? The big tent quickly became quiet, and the generals seemed to realize that the situation in Chaisang City was about to change. "Let him come in." Yuan Fang waved his hand. Not long after, the enemy envoy with a sallow complexion walked into the tent, glanced at the tent full of meat and wine, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Seeing the enemy envoy's appearance, Yuan Fang knew that the Wu people in the city were probably very hungry. "Why, could it be that Sun Quan was so hungry that he finally remembered to surrender?" Yuan Fang took a bite of the mutton leg and asked casually. The enemy envoy was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am indeed here on the orders of my second son to negotiate the surrender with the general." Upon hearing the word "negotiation," Yuan Fang sneered disdainfully. . "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me now? Go tell Sun Quan that if he gives up resistance and leads his people out of the city to surrender, I will spare his life. Otherwise, when the city is destroyed, his head will fall to the ground." Yuan Fanggen Sun Quan was not given any room for negotiation and gave an ultimatum in a commanding tone. The enemy envoy trembled with fright, weighed for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "My second son has said that as long as your majesty can ensure that he and the soldiers and civilians of the city are safe, he is willing to lead his army out of the city from the west gate to surrender at dusk tomorrow. "When the generals heard this, they all became excited. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although I was full of energy among the officers and men, my body was also in a state of fatigue, and I was just waiting for a good rest after the capture of Chaisang. Now that they have heard that Sun Quan is willing to surrender, Chaisang City will be destroyed without a fight, how can the generals not be excited. When he heard the words of the enemy envoy, Yuan Fang was indeed excited, but he quickly calmed down because he caught a glimpse of Pang Tong smiling to himself. With his thoughts racing, Yuan Fang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's rare that Sun Quan knows the current affairs so well. It's good. I will be waiting for him to surrender at the west gate tomorrow evening. As long as he is willing to surrender, this day??The army and the people will all be my subjects, how can I harm their lives? " The envoy was overjoyed and burst into tears with gratitude. He immediately thanked Yuan Fang again and again. Yuan Fang made a show of accepting surrender and entertained the envoy with good wine and meat before letting him go back to Chaisang City. As soon as the enemy envoy left The smile on Yuan Fang's face immediately faded and he regained his composure. "Shi Yuan, Sun Quan is planning to surrender. What do you think of this matter? " Yuan Fang asked with a smile. Pang Tong lightly stroked his short beard and sneered: "Sun Quan is the general of the Sun clan. When Miss Sun exchanged Sun Quan for her, Sun Quan returned to Chaisang. He completely ignored Miss Sun's safety and was the first to advise him. Sun Ce sent troops, claiming to avenge His Majesty's humiliation. Although this man is young, he is extremely cunning and vicious. I believe that he will never surrender to Your Majesty so easily." Pang Tongyi spoke and expressed his suspicions. "What Feng Chu thought was exactly what Yuan Fang wanted." Yuan Fang's lips also flashed. With a hint of trepidation, he sneered and said: "In this case, it seems that I have to prepare well to welcome the return of the second son of the Sun family. "(To be continued)
