On December 29th, it is advisable to clean, trade, install beds, collect livestock, bury, bury, move coffins, move graves, avoid traveling, damaging, rituals, dig wells, and open canals...

Logically speaking, the New Year is approaching. No matter how tired, hard, or embarrassed this year is, I will find a way to make some food and drink when the New Year is approaching, and steam two more black cakes, or grab a handful of wheat bran or other things. In fact, I have to be somewhat different from the weekdays, hoping for new hopes, new opportunities and new life in the new year.

Since Huang Wan fled to Wancheng, the situation around Wancheng has become worse day by day. With the decrease in commerce and trade until it was cut off, the households around Wancheng gradually felt the seriousness of the situation. Some people sold the land and houses near Wancheng early and fled, while others felt that Wancheng could still hold on. They wanted to buy at the bottom and get a bargain, but they gritted their teeth and persevered.

But then, I don’t know when there were rumors that Cao’s army was going to attack Wancheng, and then Wancheng again. This time, I really wanted to attack Wancheng...

Some believe it, some don’t, and some doubt it, but the impact on Wancheng is getting bigger and bigger.

Under the gloomy sky, on the mountain road from Wancheng to Wuguan, there were some escapees scattered. From time to time, some crying sounds of women and children came from time to time. This sound was very harsh and was also the emergency frequency set by human instinct. Generally speaking, as long as you hear it, it will attract instinctive attention. However, now because you hear too much, almost everyone is numb and deaf.

On Wuguan Road, there were almost everyone who was preparing to escape to Guanzhong.

Because it is winter and food is shorter than usual seasons, due to violent incidents in food, they happen almost every day. Those who have been seized are victims and potential next perpetrators, and perhaps under some stimulation, they will attack other people with food.

Everyone was panicked and climbed to Wuguan in the cold mountain path. There were already many corpses who died of illness or exhaustion by the mountain path, and even obvious cuts appeared on some corpses.

The general moral concept is nothing in the face of war and death.

On an open space on one side of the mountain road, Huang Zhong was on duty with a team of soldiers. In the open space, Pang Shanmin and Huang Wan were resting on a stone paving a fur.

Jiang Gan stood aside, as if he was extremely respectful.

Behind the queue, there are some baggage vehicles, and on the side of the baggage vehicles, there are soldiers on duty to prevent anyone from robbing supplies.

As more and more hungry eyes were seen on the mountain road, the situation gradually became tense.

The refugees not far away were staring at the baggage trucks, with both hope and fear in their eyes. If they looked closely, there might be a hint of madness in their eyes.

Giving up Wancheng is not an easy decision, especially when Pang Shi invested a lot of money in Wancheng.

It is easy for a hero to cut off his arm, but it is really hard to cut off his hands. However, few people really have the courage to cut off their hands.

However, as Cao's army launched a full-scale attack, Wancheng would sooner or later be attacked. After Fei Qian left Guanzhong, Pang Shanmin was completely disgusted with the situation around Guanzhong and did not know anything, so he had no idea about the overall situation. The pigeon originally used for emergency contact had not come for various reasons, while Huang Wan was the last weight he threw on the decision scale.

Cao Cao claimed that he was in the emperor's decree to fight against rebellion, while Huang Wan claimed that there was an emperor's order to let Fei attack Cao. Although Pang Shanmin still had some doubts about Huang Wan's decree, Huang Wan's role at the moment could indeed help Fei win back a city on the level of justice.

If you have great righteousness, you may not necessarily win a war, but it is a little bit of a helping hand.

Huang Zhong said on the side: "Envoy, Mr. Huang, although he disguised himself from Wancheng, he couldn't hide it for long. After Cao's army knew about it, he would definitely come to chase him. It would be best to set off as soon as possible and arrive at Wuguan to be safe... Someone has sent a scout to Wuguan to contact him, but... there may not be a large group of people to welcome him at Wuguan..."

When leaving Wancheng, Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong both left a small number of people as cover, pretending that Huang Zhong, Pang Shanmin and others were still in the city, but the fake ones were fake after all, and they would probably not be exposed after being installed for a long time.

Huang Wanqiang asked with his spirits: "How is the current situation of the war in Guanzhong?"

"Cao's army entered Heluo in November, and immediately rushed to Guanzhong and stopped at Tongguan... The rest of the matter is unknown..." Huang Zhong said, "But Jingzhou has many actions, I'm afraid the sword is right in front of him..."

Pang Shanmin had a calm face. It was not that he had any dissatisfaction with Huang Wan or Huang Zhong, but that he felt a little uncomfortable with abandoning Wancheng...

While several people were discussing, they suddenly heard a noise coming from behind.

Pang Shanmin turned around and saw a few refugee-like people standing beside a van, shouting something loudly, as if something was wrong...

"They have food, but they don't want to share it with us!"

"We are almost starving!"

"We don't want much! Just one bite! one bite!"

"Do you still have a conscience?"

"What we want to eat! What we want to eat!"

『…』

Noisy shouts came one after another.

Huang Zhong frowned, "Envoy, those people have problems..."

Before he finished speaking, one of the refugees quarreled around the soldiers on duty was rushing towards the baggage truck, obviously he wanted to snatch it directly!

The soldier on duty next to the baggage truck subconsciously turned around to stop him, but unexpectedly, the other person beside him showed fierce eyes, took out a sharp blade from his arms, and stabbed it directly into the gap between the soldiers' armor!

Blood spurts out!

The person who rushed towards the logistics vehicle was pulling and dragging the felt blanket and ropes on the logistics vehicle, and shouting: "Ratch it! Only by stealing it can we survive..."

There was a sudden scream around, and the crowd seemed to be exploding, and it suddenly became chaotic.

Some things that were taken out of the baggage truck were thrown to the ground.

The refugees around may not dare to really attack the baggage truck, but they have no psychological barriers to picking up things on the ground. They just snatched up with a slap!

Perhaps in the hearts of refugees, they are used to digging food in the land, so the things on the car belong to noble people, but as long as they fall on the ground, they may be rewarded by noble people, or they may be what noble people don’t want, so they will take them and grab them, and there will be no problem at all...

In a moment, before Huang Zhong and Pang Shanmin had time to issue any orders, the scene had deteriorated.

After many refugees grabbed things, their evil thoughts were widened. As more and more refugees joined the ranks of scrambling, Huang Zhong and his group were suddenly cut into two pieces!

Howling, screaming, meaningless hissing.

Swallow, tear, unconscious fight.

Refugees who lost their minds were like piranhas smelling blood. Driven by hunger, they flocked to them and immediately blocked the originally not spacious mountain road!

When the basic needs of human life cannot be guaranteed by order, then all this order is nothing.

Human social decline and naturalness increases.

"Envoy?" Huang Zhong looked at Pang Shanmin.

Pang Shanmin hesitated, sighed for a while, and shook his head.

"Envoy!" Huang Zhong frowned.

Pang Shanmin closed his eyes and shook his head.

Huang Zhong took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Get together! Give up those vehicles! Get off now!"

Some soldiers hesitated.

Jiang Gan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly shouted: "How can we let the mob rob?! We should kill him! We should serve as a warning to others!"

The soldiers looked at Huang Zhong and pointed their swords and guns at the refugees.

Huang Zhong glanced at Jiang Gan and reiterated the order again, "Get together! Give up those vehicles! Get off now!"

The soldiers responded, and the abandoned baggage truck was like the tail thrown by a gecko, the intestines spit out by sea cucumbers, and the bloody smell attracted the attention of most refugees.

Except for a few "refugees".

Huang Zhong opened his bow in anger and shot seven or eight arrows almost instantly!

The arrow flew over the bent waist of the refugee, flew over the torn arms, flew over the head of chewing food, and shot through the eyes of Huang Zhong, Pang Shanmin and his group, staring fiercely, and then passed through the skull!

I just heard the sound of the bowstrings, and the people over there were already falling to the sky!

Seeing this, the soldiers shouted loudly, and immediately shocked everyone who was looting everyone. The timid ones even fell to the ground and urinated all over the ground!

Huang Zhong looked at the confused and panic, still not understanding at all what was going on and why he became such a refugee. He looked at the weak bodies and arms like dry branches, and looked at the children who were still instinctively holding food and stuffing food into their mouths even in fear...

Huang Zhong sighed and waved his hand.

The queue was moving forward, leaving three baggage trucks behind.

After watching Huang Zhong and others bypass the mountain path and disappear into the rocky mountain, the refugees seemed to wake up and cheered, as if an ant insect had found debris and piled up happily. As for whether there were other ant insect corpses next to it, it didn't matter...

...

...

At the top of Wancheng, there was a shrill crying sound.

More than a hundred people were escorted by Cao's soldiers and drove them to the top of the city.

Everyone knows what fate these people are about to usher in, including the people they are being escorted themselves...

Some people cried and begged for mercy, kicked their feet to try to delay the arrival of the god of death, others were weak and let people dragged away, and some people were numb as if they were really a piece of wood, being led by someone, while others were still screaming and scolding, even though their voices were hoarse...

Cao Zhen stood on the head of Wancheng City and looked in the direction of Xiangyang with some emotion.

How many times have he imagined that he could one day capture Wancheng and then step onto the top of Wancheng, but he did not expect it to be realized. After that, he did not feel relaxed or relieved.

Different fathers represent different starting points in life.

At least Cao Zhen’s original father’s starting point is not as good as Cao Cao.

The surname is very important in the Han Dynasty.

Fei.

Cao family.

Huang.

Ponzi.

And so on, they all represent some different meanings.

After changing his surname, Cao Zhenbig was suddenly raised. First of all, he could receive an elite education that was relatively beyond ordinary people with Cao Pi and others. When most children were still drooling for a bite, they already knew how to use food to win people's hearts; when many children were still scrambling to step on mud, they had already begun to focus on a broader world.

Although Cao Zhen was bleeding from the blood of the Cao family, in this era, as long as he was holding this surname, he was even more trustworthy than Le Jin and Ren Jun and others, and it was easier to get positions and platforms that could display their talents and obtain more resources.

Especially Cao Zhen himself has good conditions. He is strong, able to ride and shoot, and has extraordinary strength. These are all additional points, making him stand out among the younger generation of Cao's children. Moreover, due to his identity, he can bend down to establish a good communication method with the soldiers and military academy below, which is more friendly and down-to-earth.
