The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 336 A Bowl of Rice

The Taishici Banner was very happy to win the victory. After knocking Xu Sheng unconscious, he was tied up by the soldiers and pressed back to the camp. Then he ordered a fire to cook and planned to attack the city early tomorrow morning.

Han Dang fled with his troops and retreated back to Wuling. He felt a little bit relieved when he thought of Xu Sheng being captured. He wanted to test Tai Shici's ability this time. Losing Xu Sheng in vain, the more Han Dang thought about it, the more he felt it was a pity, Xu Sheng has good potential, as long as he is properly trained, he will definitely be a great general in the future, but now he has been captured by Tai Shici, it is useless to think too much.

At this time, Han Dang had no choice but to stick to the city because of Tai Shici.

In the evening, Tai Shici went to look for Xu Sheng. At this time Xu Sheng had woken up. Tai Shici treated him fairly well. He had already asked the doctor accompanying the army to bandage his wound, and the wound on his waist had stopped bleeding.

Tai Shici walked into the camp and saw Xu Sheng sitting on the ground. He put a bowl of hot rice in front of him, and there were some pieces of pork in the rice. Soldiers used up a lot of energy when they went out to fight, so they needed meat to replenish their energy. He refused to bring raw pork with him when he went out on an expedition, so Li Yuan would usually dry and marinate the pork in advance to make jerky, which was convenient for carrying.

"Boy, why don't you eat, doesn't it suit your appetite?" Tai Shici picked up the rice bowl, and there were bursts of white smoke on it, full of fragrance, even though he was already full, he still wanted to eat another bowl.

"Hmph, you don't need to care, I don't need to eat." Xu Sheng replied coldly. In fact, he was already very hungry, but he was stubborn and determined not to eat the enemy's food.

"Hahahaha, it's interesting." Tai Shici smiled and sat down in front of Xu Sheng, "My lord once said that people are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will get hungry, no matter how powerful you are, you can't stand it." If you are hungry, there is no one in this world who does not eat."

"It's true that people have to eat, but I don't eat Li Yuan's food." Just after Xu Sheng finished speaking, his stomach suddenly growled, and the noise made him a little embarrassed.

"Hahahaha, your stomach has already betrayed you, eat it." Tai Shici knew that Xu Sheng's stomach was very hungry, so he handed the meal to Xu Sheng's eyes.

"I don't want to eat!" Xu Sheng twisted his waist, and with a flick of his shoulders, knocked the rice in Tai Shici's hand to the ground.

Tai Shici put away his smile, bent down and picked up the rice on the ground and put it into his mouth, not at all disgusted that the rice was dirty, he ate the whole bowl of rice in a short while.

"The rice on the ground is already dirty. Why do you want to eat it?" Xu Sheng couldn't figure it out. Why do status have to pick up food from the ground.

Tai Shici burped and said: "Do you know how many people in the world want to eat but can't eat? Have you ever seen how many hungry people gnaw on trees, bark, and trees? What's more, some people need to exchange seeds to eat to satisfy their hunger." , the hard-won food should be cherished, even if the rice is dirty, it is much better than eating bark and other people's children!"

Xu Sheng couldn't help being ashamed when he heard the words. He had seen what Tai Shici said before, but since he followed Sun Ce, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, so he gradually forgot that there are still many people in the world who are starving, and Tai Shici's status is higher than him. Duo Duo still cherishes every grain of rice, but he has forgotten his roots, and this comparison made him feel ashamed.

"Everyone thinks that General Li is a warlike person who goes all out to fight, but he is just for the people of the world. Under his governance, the people in Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Jingbei have solved their food and clothing problems and can still eat meat. , May I ask if the other princes can do this?"

"Is Li Yuan really so rich? I just saw that there is meat in the rice. Can every soldier and every commoner eat meat?" Xu Sheng couldn't believe it. Some coarse grains and rice water, it is impossible to eat meat, and only noble generals can afford meat.

"It's not that General Li is rich, it's that the people under his command are rich. He has the ability to make every commoner and soldier eat meat. General Li has established a lot of farms specializing in raising livestock for slaughter and promoting the consumption of pork. In the beginning, there were indeed many People are opposed to eating pork, but pork is delicious, so more and more people eat it. Now people in Xuzhou and Yuzhou can accept pork. Everyone knows that our soldiers are strong in combat. In addition to strict training, it is also because of General Li It can provide us with meat, so the physique of the soldiers is far better than that of soldiers in other places."

Tai Shici admired Li Yuan from the bottom of his heart, because Li Yuan was the only prince in the world who could provide such good food for the soldiers in the army. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for a person, and only when a person has a full stomach can he have the physical strength to do other things.

At this time Xu Sheng finally understood why Li Yuanjun was always invincible. Let me ask you, who would not follow a lord who can provide meat for the soldiers? People in this era are simple, and whoever can help them solve their food and clothing problems will be loyal. to whom.

Tai Shici asked someone to bring in another bowl of rice and said, "Eat it. If you don't eat, it will be difficult to recover from your injuries. You can rest assured that I will not put poison in the rice. If I want to kill you, I will not kill you." There is no need to do so.”

Xu Sheng couldn't help seeing the delicious hot rice again. He knew that Tai Shici was right. If Tai Shici really wanted to kill him, he didn't need to poison him at all. With the practice of martial arts, a large bowl of rice can be eaten clean. He has gone out with the army countless times, but he has never eaten so full and so well in the army.

Xu Sheng thought about it for a while and then raised his head and asked, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

"I think you are still young, it would be a pity if you just die like this, why don't you surrender to me." Seeing Xu Sheng's good skills, Tai Shici wanted to surrender.

"Don't say too much, even if you treat me well, I will not surrender to you. How can a loyal minister serve two masters." Xu Sheng refused without hesitation.

"What a loyal and courageous person, but Sun Ce will only lose to General Li in the end, then how do you choose?" Tai Shici is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Seeing this, he appreciates Xu Sheng even more, but he believes Sun Ce will definitely not be Li Yuan's opponent.

Xu Sheng said unconvinced: "Don't be too arrogant. Although Li Yuan is strong, my lord is not an idler. Our army only took four or five years to pacify Jiangdong and Jingnan. My master Sun Ce fought bravely and bravely. Overlord; Zhou Yu is resourceful and resourceful, and his ability to use troops is rare in the world; Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Huang Gai are all veterans in the battlefield; Zhou Tai and Chen Wuyong are champions of the three armies; Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang and Dong Xi are brave and good at fighting; How can our army be defeated by Li Yuan with so many good generals?"
