Chapter 412 Calling Me ‘Daddy’ is Useless! (2/2)

”We don’t have any food?” Long Ao’s eyes almost popped out, ”Hadn’t I told you to make the soldiers divide their daily ration into three-day portions? Nohere do I arrange the provisions from at such a tied in intense battles all night… plus no one has slept all night the soldiers are” Military Provisions Officer was also helpless He had fallen into a difficult situation since the er in his hands — in spite of being the Military Provisions Officer The re provisions had been divided into three-day rations after they had been trapped here These provisions were then distributed a the soldiers

The army didn’t have a unified jurisdiction over distribution The rations were usually left in the hands of the soldiers And, who can refrain once hunger strikes…?

Five days had already passed How could there be anything re louder and louder outside

”You’re not allowing us to eat, and you still want us to go to war?”

”How can you expect us to win a battle on eang of senior soldiers comprised of rowdy people Basically, only a few of them were literate The rest could at-hly educated individuals in the army as well However, one’s literacy or illiteracy didn’t er Hence, they had co for the responsible official It didn’t er and starvation was si Ao raised his brows He lifted the curtain, and dashed out with big strides, ”Why are you shouting? What’s all this commotion about?!”

Everyone fell silent all of a sudden

Then, someone shouted, ”Coe boosted up when soan to clamor in unison, ”Co Ao’s cheeks trerily blurted, ”You don’t have food? Why don’t you go eat horse-meat? So many dead horses are piled up there Why don’t you eat them?!”

The soldiers cheered, ”Eat Horse-Meat! Eat Horse-Meat!” Then, they all left at once

Then, a conflict broke out over the dead warhorses The cavalry soldiers treated their personal horses dearer than their own lives Their personal horses had died, and they hadn’t even gotten enough tirieve Would they ever allow others to eat their horses? They obviously refused this gang of hungry soldiers

Hence, the conflict broke out

Soon, the cavalry soldiers – ere protecting the corpses of their warhorses – were totally defeated and fell face down Then, another conflict broke out ary soldiers since they started to accuse each other for taking bigger portions This commotion was relentless

Finally, the Military Provisions Officer had to step in The dead horses were gathered under his supervision, and the horse-ot a bit more or a bit less than the others

This crisis had passed for now, but it was only a tens of destruction in this incident [You can eat the meat of dead horses today Maybe you can carry-on on a half-e horses will have to be killed the day after tomorrow]

[Can cavalry soldiers still be called ‘cavalry’ soldiers after their horses are dead?]

Then, Wu Kuang Yun appeared while Long Ao was in such a terrible shape General Wu had appeared with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders — Minister Chu had sent hi Yun’s disposition wasn’tAo wouldn’t surrender if Wu Kuang Yun was sent to persuade him

This was simply impossible! However, the fact was that Minister Chu didn’t intend to accept the surrender fro Yun’s very first sentence blew any possibility of it, ”Long Ao, you ot so angry that he nearly fainted on the spot!

He had initially planned, [Iat the end of the line at some point So, I will temporarily comply to a surrender if the enemy sends soet the chance after we’ve arrived on the battlefield That will be considered to be a ‘meritorious service’ It will help ht allow me to redeem myself in the eyes of Prime Minister Diwu!]

[However, the ene Yun to persuade me for surrender! Is this how you persuade somebody? Doesn’t your attempt to persuade me appear more like a declaration for war?]

”I would rather die than surrender!” Long Ao climbed on his horse He rushed out of the are as he rode forward There was a look of anger and hatred in his eyes It seemed as if he would split the eneot closer, and said, ”Wu Kuang Yun! You fking ‘persuade’ someone to surrender… not ‘command’ them!”

He had spoken this sentence in a very low voice so that only Wu Kuang Yun could heart it

Long Ao’s had meant… [you don’t try to ‘persuade’ someone to surrender with such bossy attitude Hoill you make me ‘comply’ if you keep this attitude? Firstly, you her official rank and show your sincerity Then, I will pretend to consider Then, you repeatedly persuade me… and then I eventually ‘surrender’ it should’ve been like this!]

[Besides, hoill I be able to save my face before the two ar and expect me to surrender, you know? That is si Yun didn’t understand hisat all… He merely leaned his ear sideways, and asked loudly, ”What did you say? Say it again, and loudly!”

Long Ao was very irritated by this, but he didn’t getYun HeYun, you have coht? At least show a little good faith”

Wu Kuang Yun suddenly realized as going on So, he replied in a low voice, ”You htly happy in his heart Finally, a door had opened before him He whispered, ”I mean that you put forward so Yun winked at hi Ao answered in a lowered voice, ”Such as you can proive me a proe my subordinates? Hoill I receive the rewards”

”You are surrendering, but you still wish to beco Yun cried out loud and stared at Long Ao with a bewildered look in his eyes He had exclaimed this sentence in such a loud voice thatAo becaot covered in sweat, ”Whoa, calm down my daddy Can’t you talk in a low voice”

”!” Wu Kuang Yun yelled out, ”Do not you dare call er to surrender, ok?”

Long Ao glared at hi at me? You are the one who calledYun spoke-out cockily It see Yun!” Long Ao’s roar exploded as his face flushed red with anger Even his eyes had turned bloodshot

”Why are you shouting?!” Wu Kuang Yun shouted in an even louder voice, ”What? You calledAo, do you dare to swear in the name of your ancestors that you haven’t called ht noear it now! You swear that you haven’t calledAo’s entire body shi+vered with anger He stared at Wu Kuang Yun in anger It seemed as if he’d tear him apart with his stare alone However, he didn’t dare to swear This was an era where people gaveAo had indeed called him ‘daddy’, but not in that sense of the word However, he still couldn’t bring himself to swear in the name of his ancestors

”Fk, wants to be a Great General! Also wants to be promoted to the nobility… then he also wants to receive rewards… da me ‘daddy’ is useless! Kneel down and surrender at once; otherwise, I will kill you! What? And, you want to talk conditions with us? Have you gone crazy or what?!”

Long Ao was so enraged that he felt as if his chest would explode He screamed and spouted a mouthful of blood
