Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 9
Refugees came from all directions, but when they saw the swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers on the city wall, they dared not go there, and could only watch with expectant eyes.

This journey had exhausted their last strength, and they were exhausted and hungry, and they sat down on the ground in just a moment, huddled together to keep warm, and comforted each other.

As time passed bit by bit, the closed city gate still showed no sign of opening, and the hearts of the refugees became colder and more disappointed.

The world is as black as crows, how can there be good people in this world!

Poor myself still dreaming that there is food here, it is really stupid!

Occasionally, a child's voice came in a low voice, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

The women hugged the children, their eyes were wet, but they didn't dare to cry, they could only sob softly.

The men clenched their skinny fists, opened their eyes wide, gritted their teeth, and stared at the city gate.

In the eyes of the children, dad is the strongest person in the world, no matter how difficult it is, they can solve it.

However, only these men know that they dare not blink their eyes, because there will be tears flowing down, and they dare not loosen their clenched teeth, because they will also tremble.

Just when the atmosphere among the refugees changed from excitement at the beginning to despair, the city gate finally opened.

……

Although Wang Kai's reputation is not as good as Chen Gong and others, but he is a clever person. Seeing the refugees outside the city, he knows that it is useless to say more, and he must speak with facts to achieve the greatest effect.

Wang Kai led people outside the city and roared loudly.

"Come here, set up a big pot and light the fire to make porridge."

Following Wang Kai's order, the soldiers immediately brought the cauldron and the dry firewood they had prepared, and started to light the fire.

Seeing this scene, the refugees' hearts, which were originally cold, became hot again, and they all struggled to stand up, and walked towards this side, supporting each other.

But before he got close, he was stopped outside by soldiers who came over.

"Listen everyone, line up to get the porridge, anyone who dares to be disobedient will be shot to death!"

The soldier with a loud voice stood in front of the refugees and shouted seven or eight times in a row before stopping.

Afterwards, teams of soldiers with knives walked among the refugees and directed them to line up.

The firewood was very hot, and not long after, white mist began to rise from the big iron pot, and the aroma of grain in the mist quickly spread to the surroundings.

Refugees who hadn't eaten food for a long time, smelled the unique aroma of this food, suddenly became hungry and swallowed saliva continuously.

Many refugees, unable to bear the hunger, knelt on the ground and begged.

"Master, let's eat a little, we're starving to death."

The refugees all wanted to eat, some begged, some wanted to rush out, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

A few very hungry refugees, seeing that the soldiers next to them were not paying attention to them, rushed out of the crowd and rushed towards the cauldron.

The faces of the soldiers guarding the cauldron changed, and they hurried forward to block it. The refugees who rushed over fell to their knees with a plop, sobbing and begging.

"Master Jun, give us something to eat, we are too hungry."

Begging bitterly, the answer to them is a sharp sword.

The light of the knife flashed, and there was a scream, and several refugees who rushed over had already fallen to the ground.

A cold shout came from the soldier's mouth.

"Whoever dares not to line up, this is the end, shoot and kill!"

With murderous shouts and bloody examples, some refugees who also wanted to rush over were suddenly terrified and hid back in the crowd.

With this incident, the refugees also know that there is not only food in front of them, but also big knives, so they can only line up obediently.

When Wang Kai saw this scene, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If you want to establish order as soon as possible, you must use both kindness and strength to get twice the result with half the effort.

The porridge in the cauldron was finally ready, and with an order, the soldiers began to distribute the porridge to the refugees.

The refugees were not afraid of being scalded. They gulped down the porridge in their hands, and their cold bodies suddenly felt warm.

Feeling the sweetness of the food, everyone wept.

Crying sounded again in the crowd, but this time, it was not despair, but tears of joy.

When I wanted to ask for a second bowl, I was told that there was only one bowl for each person.

The children hadn't eaten food for a long time, and they drank their own bowl of porridge in a few mouthfuls.

The women left half a bowl for the children to drink. Although they were very hungry, they looked at the children with kindness in their eyes.

The men handed their porridge to the women, "Drink it, I'm not hungry!"

Such a crude lie that a three-year-old can read through, but it's what women love to hear.

Among the refugees, the most spoken sentence.

"We are saved!"

……

Although the refugees' locations are scattered, as long as they are carefully distinguished, it can be seen that there are many shares among these refugees.

Some are from the same village, or from the same state or county, or from the same clan.

There are as many as four or fifty people, and as few as a dozen people. Although everyone is in the open space outside the city gate, they obviously have their own territory.

While the refugees were sitting there, reminiscing about the aroma of the food just now, some soldiers with loud voices came over and yelled loudly.

"If you want to eat, choose a leader and go to my general to take orders."

The refugees also wanted to know if they would have porridge tomorrow, so they hurriedly elected representatives and followed the soldiers to meet Wang Kai.

Wang Kai was sitting on a high chair, looking at the refugee representatives walking over with piercing eyes.

The refugee representative came to Wang Kai and bowed together, "The villain has seen the general."

Wang Kai waved his hands and asked slowly, "Is the porridge delicious?"

"Delicious!"

The refugee representative cupped his hands without hesitation and replied, "Thank you, General, for the meal. The villain will never forget it."

Wang Kai waved his hand and asked with a smile, "Do you know who rewarded you with food?"

A thin-looking young man tentatively said, "Mr. Cao drove away the Yellow Turban Army. I heard that he was named Yanzhou Shepherd. I wonder if it is Mr. Cao?"

Wang Kai leaned forward and looked at the man with burning eyes, "What's your name?"

"The villain Wang Shi."

Wang Kai snorted coldly, "Wang Shi, since you said Cao Mengde is good, let me ask you, when you passed by Juancheng, why didn't Cao Mengde give you food, and why did you rush here?"

Wang Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly cupped his hands, and asked cautiously, "General, may I ask who is so kind, saving me is like a fire and water?"

Wang Kai stood up abruptly, and said loudly, "Cao Mengde was brutal and killed innocent people indiscriminately. Marquis Wen Lu Bu followed the public opinion and came to Yanzhou to rescue the people.

Wen Houzhai is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the people suffer, so he boils porridge outside the city to save you from the fire and water. "

Having said that, Wang Kai turned his head to look at Wang Shi, and asked slowly, "Wang Shi, do you understand this time?"
