Faced with Yuan Shu's anger, Lu Mian and Ji Ling looked at each other, and the helpless expression in their eyes could not be clear.

How can this be the time to go out of the city to fight?

Now that we go out of the city to fight in the field, we are seeking death. We must defend the city. No matter how Guo Peng provokes, shows weakness or temptation, we cannot go out of the city to fight in the field, and we must defend the city to fight in the field.

This is the only way to live.

"Your Majesty, our army has few soldiers, and it is very difficult to defend the city from all sides. It is really not the best way to attack rashly and lose troops."

"Your Majesty, as long as we stand by the city and prevent Guo Zhe from attacking in, the Guo Zhe will inevitably withdraw after a long time."

Lu Mian and Ji Ling tried hard to persuade Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu was also hesitant, but he really couldn't swallow this.

Yuan Shu, who was regarded as his subordinates and minions, rebelled and defeated by him, could not swallow this.

He wants to win, he wants to win.

He couldn't do it, but he couldn't admit that he really couldn't do it.

He was annoyed, he was angry, he hated Guo Peng.

Yuan Shu did not force Lu Mian and Ji Ling to attack.

After all, he also knew that Guo Peng's advantage was too great.

Not to mention anything else, today is the last day of the second year of Xingping. Guo Peng stopped siege from yesterday and took his troops to prepare for New Year's things.

So early in the morning, the fragrance floated along the wind to Shouchun City.

Damn Guo Peng surrounded Shouchun City. No matter where the wind blew, the charming fragrance always permeated Shouchun City, making the hungry soldiers and the hungry and cold men swallowed their saliva and were full of yearning.

It has the aroma of wheat, the aroma of meat, and the aroma of oil that can smell.

That fragrance can completely cover the bloody smell on the battlefield. The fragrance is all in your nose. Take a breath and it is full of fragrance.

The strong fragrance stimulated the senses of every soldier, and his mouth immediately responded, secreting a large amount of saliva, which made them swallow and swallow, constantly fantasizing about the rich food in front of them, waiting for them to feast.

Both Lu Mian and Ji Ling knew that the food in Shouchun City was not abundant, and it was mainly supplied to people and officials in the palace.

The big-headed soldiers could only eat very simple thick vegetable porridge, but they could not eat enough. They just deceived the generals and would not starve to death or cause trouble.

The civilians were even more miserable. They could only eat what the big soldiers had left. They were considered full and hungry. Sometimes they couldn't eat a bite of porridge all day and could not complain.

If you complain about causing trouble, you will be beaten, and if you resist a little, you will be killed.

Depressed spirit, sore limbs, and weak hands and feet.

This is what almost all the defenders feel.

In comparison, the Guo soldiers outside the city were all fierce and powerful. They looked very good and didn't look hungry at all. They swung their swords and climbed with force, and they had no say in combat.

Then every day, you can smell the aroma of hot food coming from all sides, the unique aroma of grain.

And it has been even more excessive since yesterday. Guo’s army stopped siege and changed to a truce. Not long after, the strong aroma of meat and oil drifted over with the wind, and it became even worse early this morning.

The hungry and cold Chen Jun soldiers on the top of the city sniffed. When they smelled these scents, they all poked their heads on the city wall with a look of surprise. They looked at the white steam rising from the Guo Jun camp not far away, and then their faces were full of envy.

"Today is the last day of Xingping's second year, right?"

"Isn't Guo Zhe going to eat meat for the festival?"

"That's the smell of meat, it's really the smell of meat, I've smelled it."

"I've eaten it! It's so delicious!"

"I want to eat meat, too..."

"You? In the next life, you will be able to eat meat by becoming a rich family in the next life."

The soldiers on the city sighed in groups of three or three, some dreaming, while others were responsible for mockery.

"The last time I ate meat was several years ago. I really can't forget the taste. It smells so fragrant. It would be great if I could eat it again."

A young soldier sighed, smelled the fragrance and fell into beautiful memories.

"I want to eat meat too, even if I just eat one bite or one bite."

Another young soldier leaned against him and dreamed with him.

"You should be honest. It would be best if you can eat porridge without starving to death. You still want to eat meat? Meat is eaten by the emperor and the general. It is thankful for people like us not to starve to death."

A veteran with white hair and beard leaned under the battlements of the city wall to teach two young people life experiences.

"Then why can the soldiers from Guo Zhe eat meat?"

"Yes, it smells so fragrant, I feel like I have made a lot of it. It's impossible that it's all eaten by Guo Zhe and those generals, right? Can I finish it?"

Faced with the two young people's questions, the veteran hesitated for a moment.

"It's probably to celebrate the New Year, so let's give everyone a try? I can try the taste and cheat my stomach. I really want to eat it when I'm full?"

"It's okay to taste a little..."

"Yes, it's okay to cheat your stomach, why can't we eat it?"

The two young men looked yearning.

The veteran shook his head helplessly, touched his shriveled belly, swallowed, and took a deep breath.

It smells so good.

When can we eat meat and eat enough?

The ordinary and simple Li Shu began to fantasize about a happy life where he could eat meat and eat enough.

That must be the happiest thing, right?

The so-called emperor is probably the one who can eat meat until full?

From morning to night, you don’t have to do anything, you only eat meat and drink wine, then watch people dance, and eat meat in big mouthfuls.

It's great to be an emperor.

For them, this is indeed the happiest thing.

And for Guo Peng's soldiers, it is also a very happy thing.

The fragrant big cakes, fragrant big bone soup, fragrant fried dumplings, and everything really makes them feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

On this day, Chen Jun in the city seemed to know that he shouldn't have done anything, and did not come out to disturb their celebration. So when the sun sets, the happy festival time came.

With Guo Peng's order, the celebratory drums began to sound from the commander's camp, and then the various military camps continued to sound, surrounding the entire Shouchun City. The drums in the military camps rang one after another, scaring the Chen army in the city that they thought Guo Peng had led his army to attack.

Yuan Shu, who was preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet for him and his ministers, was also shocked and quickly sent someone to ask, and the person who came back said that Guo Peng did not send troops.

The sound of the drums seemed to be just a signal to inform the beginning of the celebration.

As the signal was transmitted, the last ray of light of the sun was not visible. As night officially came, soldiers standing at the gates of various military camps lit the prepared bamboo and listened to the crackling sounds made by the bamboo.

There are no fireworks at this time, and people are used to burning fire with bamboo. Listening to the sound of the burning bamboo, they call it firecrackers, and they believe that they can dispel evil spirits, dispel illnesses, and usher in happiness.

There were crackling sounds, and bonfires rose in the military camps, and drums sounded again. Guo Peng officially appeared in the military camp of the commander, gathered with all the generals and officials who accompanied him on the expedition, raised his wine glasses, and cleared his throat.

"Although today is on the battlefield, the celebration and joy that should be there must be. We must celebrate well, let go of the celebration, and show him Yuan Gaolu, my kingly army, will be invincible in the battle! You guys! Drink this cup full of money!"

Guo Peng took the lead in drinking the wine in the glass.

"Dry!"

The generals, officials and advisers shouted in unison and then drank the cup together.

Everyone laughed happily.
