~7 min read 1,211 words

"Damn it, what is this they are feeding us!"

At noon, a tall soldier threw the wooden ladle in his hand forcefully into the wooden bucket in front of him, splashing the porridge inside.

It was called porridge, but the water and rice were separated, and one could clearly see from the wooden bucket that the pitiful millet at the bottom of the bucket barely covered the bottom.

And the water was a full bucket.

The millet scooped out from such a bucket of so-called porridge probably wouldn't even fill a ceramic bowl.

"Two days ago, there was still half a bucket of rice to barely survive, yesterday there was still a small half bucket, and today there is only this much left. If we wait two more days, we might as well just drink water!"

"Those bastards don't treat us as human, treating us like this. I see those Han troops eating two meals a day, and they give us this?"

The soldier's angry cursing immediately drew the attention of everyone around.

The soldiers gathered in the camp preparing to eat threw their ceramic bowls on the ground and loudly joined in the commotion.

In just a moment, the sound of noise in the camp echoed incessantly.

"Let's go find the General."

"Right, let's go find the General to reason with him!"

"Let's go, let's go find the General!"

"Let's go find the General together!"

The noisy sound spread throughout the entire military camp, and the soldiers crowded together and headed toward the nearby military tent.

In the tent, a young general dressed in black armor also heard the sound outside the camp and immediately took his guards and walked out of the military camp.

When the young general walked out of the camp, a dark mass of soldiers had already gathered outside.

Seeing this scene, the young general also felt his scalp tingle.

The soldiers in the front row were carrying wooden buckets filled with porridge.

Upon arriving in front of the General's military tent, they viciously pushed the wooden buckets to the ground, causing the porridge to spill on the ground.

"General, it's not that we are causing trouble, but General, look at what we are eating!"

"We are risking our lives to fight, all for the sake of a full meal, but General, look at what we are eating now!"

Xu Huang, standing in front of the military tent, felt his scalp tingle.

This was the prelude to a mutiny.

The soldiers' dissatisfaction had been accumulating for several days.

Starting three days ago, the grain in the army had become less and less.

If this continued, the army would definitely mutiny.

Xu Huang wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

This was the first time he had encountered such a problem.

"General, we should still report the situation to General Yang. If this continues, the soldiers will definitely mutiny," said the deputy general behind Xu Huang.

Xu Huang nodded hurriedly and then shouted to the gathered soldiers: "Soldiers, I will go find General Yang right now and will definitely give you an explanation today."

"Don't be agitated, everyone return to your camps."

Xu Huang spread his arms and shouted loudly to the soldiers gathered below.

The gathered soldiers clearly had no intention of dispersing.

"General, we will wait here today. When the General gets us an explanation, we will disperse," the leading soldier shouted loudly.

Countless echoing voices immediately sounded from behind.

Xu Huang, seeing there was no other way, could only agree, and then headed toward Yang Feng's camp.

Not long after, Xu Huang had already arrived at Yang Feng's camp.

However, as soon as he arrived outside Yang Feng's camp, Xu Huang discovered that it wasn't just him.

Almost all the officers of the various armies had already arrived outside Yang Feng's military camp.

Not long after, under Yang Feng's order, Wu Xi, Xu Huang, and a group of officers leading troops were all gathered in Yang Feng's tent.

In the military tent, Yang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from Xu Huang, Wu Xi, and the others.

Beside Yang Feng, Yang Qi, dressed in black robes, was also present.

"General, the soldiers' emotions can no longer be suppressed. If this continues, there will be a mutiny in the army soon, and we will likely be crushed in the soldiers' anger," Wu Xi said to Yang Feng, spreading his hands.

"That's right, General. The soldiers were originally just trying to survive for a bite to eat, and now they don't even have food to eat."

Xu Huang nodded and said, "General, the grain given by the Han army is getting less and less, the soldiers are starving, and the resentment is hard to calm. General, please think of a way."

"Sigh..."

Yang Feng sighed and then slowly turned around.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to think of a way. I have gone to the Grand Commandant many times, but..."

Yang Feng said while sighing, "You have seen the results."

"But..." Wu Xi pointed in the direction of Hangu Pass in the distance and said, "General, why do they get two meals a day, while we don't even get enough porridge to drink?"

"They clearly don't treat us as human at all!"

"Right, the Han army gets two meals a day, while we don't even get porridge!"

"If the Han army had no grain, that would be one thing, but they clearly have grain, so why don't they give it to us!"

Everyone complained to Yang Feng in a jumble of voices.

Yang Feng turned his head and glanced at Yang Qi, who was standing beside him.

Yang Qi nodded slightly.

Three days.

This was enough to accumulate resentment in the army.

The timing was just right.

If it dragged on any longer, there would likely be a mutiny in the army.

Now, accumulating the emotions to the peak was just waiting for the final detonation.

Yang Feng looked left and right, then pressed his hand toward the people who had stood up.

"Everyone..."

"At this point, there is only one way to protect everyone and the army."

Yang Feng said slowly, "I have already thought of all the ways I could think of, and I have also begged, but they didn't pay any attention to me at all."

"You are all people who have been through life and death with me, as close as brothers."

"The army is also full of soldiers who follow me, and I cannot bear to watch the soldiers suffer from hunger."

"We gathered in Baibo Valley in the first place just to have a bite to eat, so we wouldn't starve to death. When we accepted the imperial court's amnesty, I thought we would be able to eat our fill and survive, but..." ===== CHAPTER 1338 =====

"The soldiers in the army are all those who follow me, and I cannot bear to watch them suffer from hunger and starvation."

"We gathered at Baibo Valley in the beginning just to have a mouthful of food so we wouldn't starve to death."

"When we accepted the imperial court's amnesty, I thought we would be able to eat our fill and survive, but..."
