Liu San suddenly woke up from the nightmare with a violent gasp. His forehead was covered with cold sweat and his heartbeat was echoing in his chest like a drum.

Liu Sanjue was extremely unlucky. His family was poor and he had no money to bribe the head of the village, so he was conscripted into the army.

At the beginning, he served under the command of General Fu, the famous god of war in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Although the training was heavy at that time, at least he had enough food to eat.

You have to know that this little brat has bankrupted his father. Liu San's family is so poor that he has only had a few full meals since he was a child.

If the family was not really poor, anyone who joined the army in those days would lose his head if war broke out.

Unexpectedly, before he could have a few full meals with General Fu, he was thrown into prison.

General Zhao was appointed as the new commander, although Liu San's superiors were indignant about this.

But he felt that it didn't matter who he served in the army, as it all came down to having a full meal.

Soon Liu San was slapped in the face. It turned out that changing the general did make a difference.

Although the food was not very good when General Fu was alive, at least he had two full meals a day.

But after General Zhao took office, he replaced many generals. I don’t know what happened, but now they are not able to eat enough again.

Of course, compared to when General Fu was around and he could eat as much as he wanted, now he has to eat in fixed amounts.

As someone with a big appetite, he basically can’t feel full but he won’t go hungry either.

Liu San now began to doubt whether he was a bit unlucky with generals. Why was the general in charge changing every now and then since he entered the military camp?

Now even General Zhao is gone.

Before the Qi army attacked, the Zhao generals made promises to each other to boost morale.

It sounded as if the attack was not from the Qi army, but from walking silver.

As long as you dare to rush forward and take a few heads, you can return home in glory.

At that time, Liu San was really tempted by what he said. As long as he could survive a battle, he could get a lot of money.

As a result, General Zhao boasted a lot and even spoke nonsense to the Qi army on the city wall.

As a result, after the city was blown down, General Zhao was buried alive.

Liu San was also frightened by the deafening explosion on the city wall. He wanted to escape but failed and was caught and taken prisoner.

At first, Liu San really thought he was dead. When fighting with the barbarians, he had never heard of any prisoners who fell into the hands of the enemy and could come back alive.

However, the Qi army did not immediately execute these captives, but instead gave them food and water.

Liu San and other captives were then taken outside the city and began to transport food for the Qi army.

He originally thought to see a devastated city, but unexpectedly, the city was in good order. Although the people looked worried, they were not in chaos.

Qi army generals even loudly declared in the streets: "Women, children, the elderly and the young will not be killed, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

Liu San was delighted to hear this. He was not worried that the Qi army would go back on their word.

He is a prisoner now. It only takes a word from others to kill him or cut him up. There is no need to waste food to feed him and deceive him.

Although Liu San did not understand many important principles, he was certain of one thing: food was precious. If the Qi army could give them food, it must be useful to them.

Since it is useful, we won't kill them and they can survive.

As for whether he would go to jail like General Fu or be forced to work as a laborer.

These are things to think about later. Now Liu San just wants to survive.

Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view - it was his former superior, Captain Xie Gang.

Liu Sanxin hurried forward a few steps, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Captain, it's me, Liu San!"

Xie Gang looked up at the sound, an expression of disbelief on his face, which then turned into an ecstatic smile: "Liu San? You... you're still alive!"

Xie Gang's eyes welled up with tears. He patted Liu San's shoulder vigorously, his voice choked with sobs: "How come even you couldn't escape? It seems that all of us brothers are going to be buried here."

Liu San: "Didn't the Qi army say that those who surrender will not be killed?"

Xie Gang looked at Liu San as if he were a fool: "How can you believe the enemy's words?"

Liu San: "But we are all prisoners now, why are you still lying to us?"

Xie Gang sighed: "Even if I manage to survive, I'll be reduced to a hard laborer."

These days, if you work as a laborer, no one can survive more than a few years of heavy physical work.

Liu San thought so too, but he still felt there was a glimmer of hope, so he tentatively asked, "Captain, this matter was not allowed to be discussed in the army before, can we talk about it now?"

Xie Gang: "As a man, you should fart if you want to and speak your mind if you want to."

Liu San: "Didn't they say before that General Fu had been having an affair with the Queen of Qi a long time ago? You said we should claim that we were soldiers under General Fu..."

When Xie Gang heard this, his face turned pale and he interrupted, "Bullshit! Those are all slanders against the general by the traitors in the court. It is absolutely impossible for General Fu to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason."

Liu San: "I didn't say General Fu was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason. I said the Empress and General Fu were old lovers. Otherwise, how could the Empress immediately send troops to attack Western Zhou as soon as General Fu was imprisoned?"

The more Liu San thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He continued, "This is just like the story the old teacher in our village told. The emperor lit beacons to trick the princes in order to win the smile of a beautiful woman, and the empress did this to save General Fu."

Xie Gang's face turned black after hearing this. According to what Liu San said, General Fu would become a demon who brought disaster to the country.

He suddenly felt that he couldn't look General Fu in the eye.
