    Yunhao hates pursuit battles. Such battles are both physical and mental torture for both the pursuer and the pursued.

    Xue Rengao¡¯s last battle, the Battle of Qianshui Plateau, ended with Xue Rengao¡¯s complete defeat.  The father's soul in heaven did not successfully bless his son, or it could be said that Li Er's ancestors were much more powerful.  Even in the underworld, Xue Ju is still no match for the ancestors of the Li family.

    "Boy, that means you have a carriage. Otherwise, we would have been left behind by Xue Rengao. His grandma chased her from the scorching sun to the snow. It's already fucking November, and I still haven't killed this kid. He can really run away.  ." Li Shentong stayed in Yunhao's car, and snowflakes began to fall outside.  In the winter, only Yunhao's carriage has a heater.

    Yunhao was bored and roasting the leg of lamb on the charcoal fire pot. Large drops of fat dripped onto the fire, igniting blue flames from time to time.  Yunhao's mouth was so rotten and there were several soybean-sized ulcers that made Yunhao want to die.  But I had no choice but to eat.  Every time you eat is a test of perseverance.

    The army is in continuous pursuit, and supplies are intermittent.  As we get farther and farther away from Guanzhong, the time when supplies are cut off becomes longer and longer.  A living person cannot suffocate to death, and an army with a knife in its hand will naturally not starve to death.  Robbery of the people on Longyou Road became an important source of supplies for the army.

    Cattle and sheep can travel with the army and be slaughtered when needed.  This kind of supply is extremely convenient and is the best portable military ration.  But people who eat meat for a long time will be deficient in vitamins, and oral ulcers are the main symptom of vitamin deficiency.

    "Boy, why don't you say anything." The old guy looked at Yunhao intently, taking a sip from the silver wine bottle from time to time.

    "My tongue hurts!" Yunhao didn't want to say much. In fact, his lips and tongue hurt. He ate just to survive.  Yunhao knew that if he didn't add some meat during the cold weather, people would become weaker and weaker until they died.

    Suddenly, Yunhao stopped turning the roasted leg of lamb.  Looking straight at the old guy, he threw away the leg of lamb and rushed towards Li Shentong.  After struggling to push away Li Shentong, he finally found a green radish that had been chewed several times under the old guy's body.  No wonder the old guy is okay, it turns out he has carrots to eat.  Yunhao took a big bite of the carrot viciously and ignored Li Shentong.  The old guy who was a solitary eater was showing respect for the elderly by not kicking him out.

    Li Shentong laughed "hey" and "hey" twice, took out another radish from his sleeve, and gnawed it.

    "Boy, I am not a solitary eater. I got these from my second brother today. There are only two of them. If you don't grab them, I will give you one. Don't throw the leg of lamb on the ground, it will ruin the food. If you don't eat it, I will give it to you.  You can eat it." Li Shentong was not angry after being robbed, and even handed his wine bottle to Yun Hao.

    Yunhao¡¯s wine supply has long been discontinued, and the steamed wine in the old guy¡¯s pot has never been empty.  Sometimes Yunhao even suspected that Li Shentong had hidden a set of wine-making equipment.

    The army was encamped, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.  Marching in this kind of weather is like seeking death!

    Yunhao and Li Shentong didn't plan to get out of the car. In fact, the tent was far less warm than the carriage.  Just open a crack in the window and let out the coal smoke.  In fact, most of the soot is carried outside by the small chimney.  There isn't much carbon left in the carriage.

    As soon as the march stopped, all kinds of people appeared.  Liu Hongji, whose head was shaved, was the most exaggerated. He was covered with a whole cowhide, and even the horns were not removed and were put on his head.  From a distance, it looks like a yak.

    Soldiers don¡¯t care about whether they look good or not. Keeping warm in the ice and snow is the first priority.  The sheepskins could not be said to be tanned. In fact, many of the sheepskins had blood stains on them before they were dried, and were draped on the bodies of soldiers shivering from the cold.  As long as it can be scratched and pulled on the body, the soldiers don't mind.

    There is white snow on the ground, and white people are walking on the snow.  Bloated people are like wild beasts. Whenever they see something with skin, they will kill it and then skin it on themselves.  Some of the guys who couldn't grab the sheepskin were so cold that they almost lost their minds.  It seems that now there is no problem even if they are allowed to skin people.

    "This can't go on like this! Xue Rengao has been running away to the west, and we are chasing him. When will this end? Do we have to chase him to the end of the world? I think of a way. I know you are smart, so hurry up. Yesterday  When I went to see my second son, my feet were swollen like pig's trotters." Li Shentong looked through the crack in the window and saw the situation outside, and couldn't help but feel very worried.  If this continues, the capable soldiers of the Li family will be frozen alive in the wasteland of Longyou.

    "The end of the world? If you can really go all the way west and then cross the sea by boat, I can guarantee that you can return to Chang'an." There is no market for the fact that the earth is round in the Tang Dynasty.  almost allThey all firmly believe that the sky is round and the earth is square.  At the end of the earth is Buzhou Mountain, which can hold up the sky and prevent it from falling.

    Looking at the confused Li Shentong, Yunhao didn¡¯t want to overturn his previous understanding.  It was difficult for him to accept that the earth was round.

    "Don't worry about us, worry about Xue Rengao! We have supplies, and that's still the case. If Xue Rengao wants supplies but doesn't have supplies, he can survive in the ice and snow for a few days. As the saying goes, if it snows, it doesn't get cold, but it turns snow cold. Now it's snowing.  Carry it. Once the snow passes, I am 100% sure that they will be frozen into ice sculptures.

    Look at the roadside, we are marching behind frozen corpses these days.  I counted more than two thousand corpses yesterday.  There will only be more corpses today than yesterday. In just one abandoned campsite, I saw no fewer than two hundred corpses.

    From the capture of the soldiers, we know that they ran too fast.  There wasn't even time to rob the nearby herdsmen.  Otherwise, where can we get roasted lamb legs?  Just hold on, Xue Rengao won't be able to run for long.  Surrender was his only way out if he didn't want to freeze to death in the wasteland.  "

    "You mean Xue Rengao will surrender? Don't be ridiculous, just for the crime of killing Liu Han, Your Majesty will cut him into pieces!

    ¡°Do you know that Liu Han grew up with His Majesty?  Liu Xuan's mother is His Majesty's wet nurse!  When guarding Jingzhou, Liu Xuan killed his own horse and shared it with his soldiers.  He only ate broth mixed with wood residue, and was later captured by Xue Rengao.  Xue Rengao actually buried his legs in the soil and shot him alive with dozens of arrows in front of the two armies before killing him.  We don't have many such strong generals in the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty must give an explanation to the generals regarding public and private matters.  "

    "I know all this, but Xue Rengao is dead. Others may not die in exchange for their own lives. Guys with knives will not mind using Xue Rengao as a proxy."

    "You mean Xue Rengao's men will tie him up and surrender?"

    Before Li Shentong finished speaking, deafening cheers erupted in the temporary camp.  A soldier ran over as if he had an arrow in his butt, bowed to the carriage and said on the ground: "Your Majesty, Xue Rengao has surrendered!"

    The snow has stopped, and the sun's rays are very dazzling on the snow.  A night of heavy snow turned the Longyou wasteland into a vast expanse of white, and a long string of black spots appeared on the snow.  The black spots were getting closer and closer, and he looked even more miserable than Tang Jun.  Yunhao even saw that some people were barefoot, and their blackened heels were already covered with a big ball of ice and snow.

    The military newspaper reported that Xue Rengao captured 80,000 people while escaping from Qinzhou.  From September to November, less than 3,000 people followed Xue Rengao and surrendered.  Not even the fraction he took away was enough!

    Piles of bonfires were lit on the ground, and there was a large forest not far from where we camped this time.  If Li Er didn't leave, it would probably be enough to burn him until the first day of the year.

    Li Er stood on the temporary high platform and looked at the prisoners who were approaching.  The Tang army's cavalry, as bloated as bears, kept galloping in front and behind the captives.  Some who walk slowly will be whipped.  However, when the whip hits the body covered with fur, it can only make a "bang" and "bang" sound, and it will not cause any damage to those people.

    Xue Rengao walked at the front of the team, wearing a mink fur cloak.  He wears an otter skin hat on his head. The hat looks very warm at first glance.  Beautiful fur, glowing in the sun.  Seeing Xue Ren walking like a dragon and a tiger, Yunhao knew that this guy was well-nourished.  The exhaustion and hunger of fleeing did not show up on him at all.

    Yunhao stood on the high platform and curled his lips as he looked at the team, which was not in an awkward situation.  In this fucking world, all the honest people are dead.  These guys are full of evil, but they are all alive and kicking.

    God, this bastard, is so unfair.

    Li Shentong looked at the leader, Xue Rengao, and turned away. Yunhao wanted to leave but stayed.  He wanted to see how Li Er treated Xue Rengao who surrendered.  But the old guy didn't let Yunhao go, and dragged Yunhao back to the carriage.

    "What are you doing? Let's see how to deal with Xue Rengao!" Yunhao wanted to break free from Li Shentong's hand, but it seemed as if he was caught in an iron vise, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.  Now Yunhao knows that the old guy really wants to give that carrot to him.  Comparing strength, the eight of them are not the opponents who have been fighting around on the battlefield for a lifetime.

    "What are you looking at? They're just a bunch of man-eating beasts. I won't let them go." Li Shentong took off his boots and threw them out, and his soldiers immediately picked them up.  The old guy rolled his eyes while rubbing his swollen feet from the cold.  It seemed that seeing Xue Rengao made him very angry.

    In the end, only a few thousand of the 80,000 people survived. It was naturally obvious what an army without supplies would eat.  Not all of the tens of thousands of people who disappeared died of cold and starvation, many of them were eaten.  It turns out that the missing meat on the corpses was not all the work of wild wolves.

    Yunhao and Li Shentong sat opposite each other, speechless.  Even the soldiers reminded you two to eat, but they ignored them.  Seeing the tumbling beef and mutton in the iron pot, they will naturally think of those exposed bone thighs they encountered on the road.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Masterpiece.
