Chapter 168 The Alternative Function of Luncheon Meat

"General Luo was awarded, but Mo was just a minor official in the general's position. I really dare not be a senator." Mo Sheng quickly bowed and humbled, and sighed: "As for how many difficulties and hardships he experienced after following the general's uprising and restoring the country, to be honest, Mo didn't even want to recall memories, in short, it was like a dream."

Originally, Mo Sheng was worried that Luo Xian would continue to ask him about the detailed process of accompanying Zhang Zhi to raise an army, but Luo Xian stopped there and kept urging his personal soldiers to serve wine and food. Then, a strange yellow bottle, two strange iron lumps that were steaming, and some tableware were placed in front of Luo Xian and Mo Sheng. Luo Xian called out: "Mo joins the army, you must be hungry, hurry up and eat some hot food."

"Eat while it's hot?" Mo Sheng was stunned and said in surprise with the strange iron lumps in front of him: "General Luo, how do you eat this thing?"

It was okay if Mo Sheng didn't ask. As soon as he asked this, the expressions of Luo Xian and his son and Luo Shang changed immediately. Then Luo Xian calmed down and nodded to Luo Shang. Luo Shang understood and hurriedly stepped forward and opened a can of can of lunch meat packaged in cans, revealing the pink pieces of meat inside, and said quietly: "Mo joins the army, dig it with spoons."

Because it had been heated before, Luo Shang had just opened the canned lunch meat. The tempting meat aroma prepared by chemical seasonings had already spread throughout Mo Sheng's nasal cavity. He could not bear the temptation of this rich fragrance. Mo Sheng hurriedly dug out a piece of lunch meat with a spoon and put it in his mouth to chew it. Then he immediately showed ecstasy. He quickly took a spoon and ate it one after another, and even ate it. He also broke his head and couldn't believe that there was such a delicacy in this world.

"Mo Zongjun, is this meat delicious?"

Luo Shang asked with a smile, and Mo Shengze nodded quickly and said from the bottom of his heart: "It's delicious. I've grown up so old, and I've never eaten such delicious meat. Major General, this meat is called...?"

Before Mo Sheng finished asking, Luo Shang's fist had already hit his cheek heavily, spitting blood on his mouth, and his teeth fell two of them. Then Luo Shang roared angrily: "It's delicious to have your mother's head! Tell me, what's your bastard? Where did you come from?"

"Major General, of course, the villain was sent by the latter general!"

Mo Sheng covered his mouth and made a quibble, while Luo Shangze kicked him more than ten feet away, shouting: "The people sent by the Later General? The Later General had already eaten the lunch meat so much that they wanted to vomit! You still said it was delicious? You couldn't even open the lunch meat, and you dare to pretend to be the Later General's messenger?!"

Needless to say, Luo Xi was already furious and joined forces with Luo Shang to launch a mixed doubles against Mo Sheng, punching and kicking Mo Sheng to explain truthfully, while Luo Xian sneered and allowed his nephew to beat the so-called Han army envoy.

In the end, he could not resist the fierce beating of the Luo brothers. Mo Sheng could only cry and shout, "Give me your life! Two major generals spare me your life! The young one admitted that the young one was not the person sent by the latter general, and the young one was not the envoy of the Han army."

Seeing Mo Sheng change his mouth, Luo Xian then opened his mouth to drink his nephew, and then asked Mo Sheng: "Tell me, who are you? Who sent you here?"

"After reporting, the general, the villain's real name was Dai Ci, who was from Yulin, Jiaozhou. He originally served as a clerk under the position of the governor Lu of the Eastern Wu."

The so-called Mo Sheng, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, admitted his identity, and said with a sad face: "It's just because the villain's hometown is bordered by Nanzhong, and his accent is close to Nanzhong, and he is a typical Southwest man. So Governor Lu arranged for the little envoy to pretend to be a big Han envoy to deceive you. The villain didn't want to come at first, but Governor Lu used military law to force him, and the villain really had no choice but to come."

"Did Lu Kang say why you asked me to lie to me?" Luo Xian asked.

"Because the Han army is unyielding in the issue of Yong'an, and insists on regaining Yong'an." Dai Ci replied truthfully: "General Luo, you insist on not giving up Yong'an and heading north. Governor Lu is afraid that you will have an old country in your heart, so you will change your flag and return to Han, and continue to help the Han army guard Yong'an City. So Governor Lu asked the young envoy to pretend to be a big Han envoy to deceive you, hoping to make you disheartened and abandon the city and head north according to the orders of the Jin people. In fact, the real envoy of the Han country, Mo Sheng, has been locked in the military camp by us, and the seal, ribbon and talisman brought by the villain was also snatched from Zhen Mo Sheng."

"You Wu dogs really don't know how to write the word "shame"!" Luo Xian said furiously: "Not only did you forcibly detain the envoy, you even snatched the seal, ribbon, talisman of the envoy of the Han Dynasty to deceive people. Such shameless things are only the thief of the Eastern Wu dogs who can do it!"

"General, this matter has nothing to do with the villain, it has nothing to do with the villain." Dai Ci quickly defended: "The matter is all arranged by the above, and the villain also acted according to the order and was forced to do this."

"Do you know how the real Han envoy Mo Sheng negotiated with you Dongwu dog thieves?" Luo Xian asked afterwards.

"I don't know the specifics." Dai Ci answered truthfully, and said: "The villain just heard that the Han army insisted that Yong'an was the land of the Han Dynasty, and he refused to give in to this issue no matter what."

Luo Xian continued to ask, but unfortunately Dai Ci was just a little scholar. He knew very little and could not ask more useful things no matter how he asked. Luo Xian had no choice but to order his personal soldiers to temporarily arrest Dai Ci. Then Luo Xian sighed: "Fortunately, we did not read the wrong person. The latter general is not the kind of person who betrayed Yizhou for himself. Otherwise, our hard work over the past six months would have been completely lost."

"But, what should we do next?" Luo Xi reminded carefully: "Military Wang, who is acting in the military affairs of Yizhou, ordered us to give up Yong'an. If we disobey our orders, we will not only confirm the crime of rebellion, but also the mother and younger brother will definitely be implicated."

Luo Xian didn't say anything, and Luo Shangze also said, "Yes, uncle, what should we do next? We must make up our minds. The envoy sent by General Wang is urging us to give up Yong'an every day. If we still refuse to obey our orders, we will have no way to explain to the court and General Wang."

Luo Xian was even more silent and asked for a while: "In your opinion, should we give up Yong'an according to orders? Or should we continue to stick to it?"

It was Luo Xi and Luo Shang's turn to stop saying a word, and Luo Xian said to himself: "If we want to continue to stick to it, we have only one way, which is to immediately change our flag and return to the Han army and ask for reinforcements. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to continue to defend Yong'an for a long time with the strength of our army."

"But what should I do with my father, mother and younger brother?" Luo Xi reminded me carefully again.

Luo Xian fell silent again, but Luo Shang had a sudden inspiration and hurriedly said to Luo Xian: "Uncle, what about this? We simply continued to hold the Jin army flag and reported to the court that we had not received the decree to confirm that Wang Chen took over the military in Yizhou, so we did not dare to follow the order. Then we patiently waited for the Han army to come in east to attack Yong'an and drove away the dog thieves in the Eastern Wu. We pretended to be defeated and left the city. This would not only protect the security of Shu, but also give an explanation to the court."

"Cousin, don't blame me for saying that you are a bad idea." Luo Xi snatched and said, "Wang Chen ordered us to give up the introduction of the wolf into the house. He obviously wanted to provoke the battle between Han and Wu to let the court reap profits. Your Majesty and the court are not fools. When we see that we waited for the Han army to fight Yong'an and then abandoned the city, how could we understand that we were deliberately giving Yong'an to the Han army? At that time, not only will our family members not be able to escape, but we will definitely not be able to escape ourselves."

Luo Shang kept silent, and Luo Xize said again: "Father, we have two choices now. One is to give Yong'an to the dog thieves of the Eastern Wu for ourselves and follow the orders; the other is to sacrifice our families to change their flags and return to the Han Dynasty for the sake of the military, civilians and people in Shu, and continue to stick to Yong'an and wait for the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty. Where can we go? Please make your decision. We all follow your arrangements."

Luo Xian lowered his head and said nothing, but scenes of past events flashed in front of him, remembering the day and night of living with Liu Chan's eldest son Liu Xuan when he was the prince's servant, remembering Liu Chan's trust in him, remembering the vigor of Jiang Wei's attack on the Central Plains, also remembering the scenes of guarding Yong'an under Yan Yu's leadership, as well as the past events of his own persistence in Yong'an, as well as the horror and vague expectations when he heard the Han army rise again, and also remembering the people of Shu who once lived and worked in peace but were forced to have a boy but dared not raise him...

Recalling these past events, before I knew it, two lines of hot tears slowly flowed down Luo Xian's cheeks, gradually making Luo Xian cry, and made Luo Xian murmured softly, "Madam, children, it's not my husband and father's cruelty, but Yong'an is too important to Yizhou. You, like me, were born and raised in Shu. For the sake of the millions of people in Shu, I believe you will be able to forgive my mercy."

After talking to himself, Luo Xian raised his voice and said loudly: "I have decided to change my flag! Return to Han!"

"Father! That mother and younger brother..."

Luo Xian waved his hand decisively to interrupt Luo Xi's reminder and said, "Learn from the old general Yan, he is already sixty years old. For the sake of the Han Dynasty, he can even sacrifice his wife and children, let alone us? I have decided to return to the Han Dynasty to give birth to me and raise me!"

More than an hour later, the red Han army flag floated in the wind on Yong'an City after nearly three years. Luo Xian shouted under the military flag, announcing that he would lead the Yong'an defenders to return to the Han army, and the Yong'an soldiers cheered loudly, and swore to firmly support and follow Luo Xian to return to the Han Dynasty. Then, the long-lost Han army song "The Return of the First" echoed over and over again at the Yong'an City...

"They are back, and the middle is coming. Summer is coming. They are about to reach the north to inherit the Ganquan Palace. The cold and summer virtues are destined to travel to Shiguan, looking at the countries, the ministers of Yuezhi and the Xiongnu. They ordered all officials to rush to drive away, and they will live the joy of the endless years."

When he arrived near Yong'an on a boat, he saw the Han army flag floating in the wind, and heard the military song "The Return of the Top" that made people live in evil. Lu Kang, who had surrounded Yong'an for nearly half a year, roared endlessly, and his chest was almost irritated. Zhang Xian suggested: "Governor, Luo Xian is so capricious, and there must be many people in the army who are unwilling to accept it, especially the Central Plains soldiers who were later added to Luo Xian. He is definitely unwilling to give up the big and abandon the small, and follow Luo Xian to surrender to the pseudo-Han thief army. Since this is the case, we might as well take advantage of the opportunity that the people of Yong'an are unsure and launch a strong attack again tomorrow, and we will definitely be able to capture Yong'an City in one fell swoop!"

When Lu Kang heard this, he nodded and agreed immediately. However, Lu Kang, Zhang Xian and others soon discovered that they were very wrong. The next day, when the Eastern Wu launched a frontal attack again, the Yong'an Han army not only showed no sign of unstable human hearts, but on the contrary, they also united in the same hatred for the enemy and attacked the Eastern Wu army head-on, killing the Wu army, who was not good at attacking the toughest, so that the corpses were everywhere and blood was accumulated.

As for the reason, of course it is very simple. Luo Xian made the decision to return to the Han Dynasty and had nothing to do with ordinary soldiers. The Yong'an soldiers naturally don't have to worry about their families being implicated. At the same time, after tasting the delicious food of junk food, the Yong'an soldiers certainly hope to continue to eat such delicious food every day, and said that they would not return to the Jin army or surrender to the Wu army, and continued to eat braised vegetables and drink brown rice porridge.
