Chapter 505: The streets are deserted, looking for revenge with bare feet
More than 100,000 Wei troops were wiped out. What kind of concept is that?
Most of the people who had just heard the victory report had never been on the battlefield. In fact, they could not imagine in their minds how spectacular it would be to have more than 100,000 Wei troops lined up on the battlefield.
But that doesn't stop people from making analogies in their minds.
There are only over 100,000 residents outside Chengdu, but such a large population is enough to make Chengdu one of the top ten cities in the world.
Does this mean that their general wiped out an entire enemy in Chengdu?
Can Chengdu be ranked among the top ten cities in Tiandong?
There are only ten big cities like Tiandong!
In the past, the people of Chengdu felt that the sky was very large, and the range of activities of many people in Chengdu for generations was only a few dozen miles away.
And the scope of Tiandong is more than one hundred thousand miles?
But at that moment, in front of that dizzying achievement, the people of Chengdu felt that Tiandong seemed very small.
It's so small that for their general, he can almost grasp it with one leg.
After thinking of that, the people who were gathering around him couldn't help but take a breath of air.
But the people who gathered suddenly thought that their general could not have won that great victory. After realizing this, an uncontrollable sense of pride emerged in the hearts of every people.
Do the Han people have a very strong sense of honor and disgrace?
This has been true from ancient times to the Ming Dynasty.
In the east, where there was a strong sense of honor and disgrace, a huge commotion gradually arose among the people gathered around the city gate.
It turned out that Liu Yin's voice was quite loud, but firstly, the streets were already noisy, and secondly, Liu Yin driving on horseback was almost like a gust of wind blowing by, so not many people heard Liu Yin's victory with their own ears.
In fact, there were at least a hundred people around the city gate who heard the good news with their own ears, including people who ran out of their houses.
But now hundreds or even thousands of people gradually gathered around the city gate, and the number of people was increasing at an extremely fast speed. With such a base of people, the people who heard the good news became more and more excited.
became a minority.
When there are many people who have not heard it with their own ears, arguments will inevitably arise.
Is it true that the victory report of "more than 100,000 Wei troops were wiped out" is too shocking.
This naturally made many people doubtful about such a good news, especially those scholars who claimed to have read the Four Books and Five Classics. As time went by, the people who gathered soon fell into two groups.
One group firmly believed that they heard correctly, while the other group believed that the news was wrong.
Just as the debate was getting more intense, someone shouted "Go to the Chancellor's Stand", and that suggestion was quickly agreed upon by all the people.
The reason why some people misunderstood the victory report and expressed disbelief was either because they did not want their side to win a great victory, or because the sense of honor and disgrace flowing in their blood prompted them to seek to hear the exact truth.
As we all know, Liu Yin's initial destination will be Shangshutai. I want to confirm the truth of the news. Is it the best way to go to Shangshutai?
Driven by a strong sense of honor and disgrace in their hearts, the common people who had the same goal were led by some scholars and walked in the direction of the Chancery.
After seeing that scene, Jufuzai, who was at the city wall, jumped up with joy.
He had just recognized Liu Yin as a messenger from the front line, but he had just thought that Liu Yin had brought news from Jiange at least.
Then let Jufu directly put Liu Yin outside the city.
Asking if he knew if Liu Yin had brought such a great victory report, he could intercept Liu Yin from the east in the name of censorship and inquire about the details of the battle.
But after Liu Yin's figure disappeared, Jufu's idea came to nothing, which made him regretful.
But aren’t new opportunities coming now?
Seeing the people from the East gathered together in the direction of the Chancellor's Stand, the lieutenant general said with an expression of "worry" on his face:
"If the crowd gathers too much, a stampede may easily occur. He cannot just turn a blind eye."
After giving that high-sounding reason, Jufu handed over the defense to the deputy general, and then he led hundreds of sergeants to quickly walk towards the east of the city.
And no matter how well Jufu hides it, his true thoughts cannot be concealed from the lieutenant who lives with him day and night. Jufu can hardly hold back the smile in his eyes!
However, if the rank of officer is too high to kill someone, the lieutenant general can just stand by and leave with some of the sergeants in the name of maintaining order.
His eyes were full of envy and anger.
He used to say "false public benefit for private interests", but he was surprised that the sentence "false public benefit for private benefit" did not apply to him.
What the deputy general didn't know was that behind him, there were thousands of sergeants who had the same idea as him.
As Han soldiers, they also wanted to know whether the news was true or false!!!
Liu Yin continued to show off the great success report as he did just now while heading towards the Chancellor's Desk.
Liu Yin is not tired of this.
In the Han Dynasty, there was a system of separation of streets and cities. Normal streets would gather pedestrians or residents.
But as the news spread rapidly, soon the vendors or businessmen in the nearby city immediately put aside their work and walked out of the market to the streets to investigate the situation.
Even people outside the city are like this, let alone the people who are walking on the streets or living on both sides of the streets?
The scene just now at the city gate was played out in the same way on the streets Liu Yin passed.
When it first developed, even the dignitaries living in the lanes were alerted and unconsciously joined the surging flow of people.
At that moment, no matter whether he was a scholar, a peasant, a trafficker or a pawn, or a knight, he was not a merchant.
Maybe they usually have different statuses, but at that moment they all had a common purpose and turned into an unstoppable torrent of liquid, following Liu Yin towards the Chancellor's Desk.
Wherever the torrent passes, the streets are deserted!
Such a scene had never happened even when the emperor proclaimed himself emperor.
Is it possible that such a spectacular scene caused suffering to the county soldiers and officials outside Chengdu.
After hearing that incident, Yang Hong kept pacing excitedly and stamped his feet anxiously.
But he also knows that people's hearts are so powerful that no one can stop things from getting to that point.
Otherwise, Yang Hong could send a large number of county magistrates and officials to follow the humanoid torrent and constantly maintain order.
Yang Hong was not an official, and with the help of sergeants led by You Jufu, he could barely maintain the stability of the humanoid torrent.
After arranging that incident, Yang Hong even rushed to the Shangshutai in person to look for Ma Liang.
But Liu Yin, who was focused on moving forward, did not notice such a spectacular scene.
But when he arrived outside the Chancery, he suddenly saw the nervous look on the soldiers' faces. He hurriedly pulled out the saber from his waist and guarded the door of the Chancery.
There was even a soldier who stumbled directly outside the Chancellor's Stand, as if he was asking to report something serious.
Seeing the frightened faces of the soldiers at the door of Shangshutai, as if they had seen a ghost, Liu Yin belatedly looked behind him.
It was good not to look. After seeing the large crowd of people following him in the distance, Liu Yin was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
No wonder the gatekeepers looked horrified. After seeing that scene, ordinary people who didn't know what was going on would think that Liu Yinhe was inciting the people to attack the Shangshu Tower.
Liu Yin, who realized that the matter seemed to be beyond his control, stayed where he was after arriving at the door of Shangshutai.
Seeing the "turbulent" crowd getting closer and closer to him, Liu Yin was sweating more and more on his face.
Fortunately, Ma Liang and Yang Hong hurried from the Chancery to the door just before the huge crowd completely surrounded the Chancery.
After seeing Liu Yin, Yang Hong really wanted to kick him a few times.
But Ma Liang didn't grasp the key to the matter. He mistakenly shouted at Liu Yin: "I'm sorry to submit the battle report soon!"
Ma Liang's loud shout made Liu Yin wake up. He hurriedly took out the battle report from the envelope on his waist, then quickly stepped forward and handed the battle report into Ma Liang's lap.
Not long after Ma Liang received the battle report in his legs, an enthusiastic crowd gathered at the door of the Chancellor's Desk and surrounded the Chancellor's Desk.
Ma Liang looked at the endless long dragon in front of him and glared at Liu Yin: My boy, it's better not to tell nonsense!
Then Ma Liang immediately took apart the legs and read the battle report.
Ma Liang's action of opening the battle report was noticed by the tens of thousands of people outside the Chancellery. At that moment, they were about to know the truth, but they all came quietly in unison.
Tens of thousands of eyes looked directly at the battle report in Ma Liang's legs. There was uneasiness, eagerness, and determination in their eyes, but most of them did not expect anything more.
It was not Ma Liang's first time to check the contents of the battle report under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of fiery eyes, and it made him very nervous.
But after reading the contents of the battle report, Ma Liangwai's nervousness disappeared.
At that moment, his legs were shaking while holding the battle report.
Ma Liang's abnormal performance made Yang Hong even more uneasy.
Just when Yang Hong was considering whether to beg or not to snatch the battle report from Ma Liang's leg, Ma Liang raised his head and looked at the tens of thousands of enthusiastic people to the east of the steps.
After seeing the tens of thousands of people with different faces, but with strong expectations in their eyes, Ma Liang became red at that time. Why did Mingyue Liuyin cause such a big sensation outside the city.
Apart from the sense of honor and disgrace engraved in the blood of the Han subjects, it was largely because of the battle in Liangzhou that the people of Chengdu sacrificed too much.
As for whether to support the front line, every household in Chengdu sent a family member to serve as soldiers or civilian husbands, and each household dedicated most of the food stored at home to the front line.
That made many of the tens of thousands of people in his eyes look appetizing.
The people outside Chengdu gave almost everything to support this war. Who would care about such a war or not look forward to it?
After realizing this, Ma Liang did not hesitate any longer. He raised the battle report in his lap high and answered loudly to the tens of thousands of people in the east:
"Great victory in Liangzhou! More than 100,000 Wei troops were wiped out!"
Ma Liang did not read out the contents of the battle report, but he repeated Liu Yin's words. However, after Ma Liang shouted those words himself, tens of thousands of people in the east became restless.
Do many people among the people know Ma Liang? Moreover, Dangdong is at the door of the Chancellor's Desk. In that case, the victory announced by Dangdong is certain!
The restlessness first started in the front row, and then spread to the rear at an extremely fast speed.
How fast the people's expectations are.
Soon after, the tens of thousands of people who gathered heard the certain news.
A moment later, bursts of violent cheers and celebrations broke out among the crowd of tens of thousands of people.
At that moment, tens of thousands of people including scholars, knights, farmers, and businessmen all forgot their identities.
The scholar gave up his reserve, the knight gave up his arrogance, the farmer gave up his timidity, and the businessman gave up his inferiority.
At that moment, some people embraced and celebrated with the people around them, and at that moment, some people kept dancing their legs and laughing loudly.
But at the East Moment, tens of thousands of people chanted the name "General" in unison.
Is this a hero who can protect their homeland? Is this a hero who makes their hard work go to waste?
The cheers and celebrations were louder and louder, deafening, and resounded throughout Chengdu.
At the beginning, it was like thunder that turned into the ground and rushed straight towards the sky, breaking away the dark clouds that had been lingering in the sky for a long time.
The sunshine, which had not been seen for a long time, was like a naughty child wanting to join in the big cheers. Ma Zai used his body to shine on the faces of everyone.
The warm sunshine shines brightly on every citizen.
The whole city of Han people celebrates the same month, and the sound of celebration is like thunder in the sky!
And at that moment, why wasn't Ma Liang's face full of smiles?
I would like to ask that the news be sent to Bi Dong's legs as soon as possible.
Ma Liang mistook what he was thinking and said it to Yang Hong who was standing aside. However, due to the deafening cheers in his ears, Yang Hong couldn't hear Ma Liang's words for a moment.
After noticing this, Ma Liang and Yang Hong took a wrong look, and they couldn't help laughing heartily. At first, both Ma Liang and Yang Hong couldn't help but cover their stomachs.
Neither of those two were great celebrities in the world, but the whole city was celebrating the bright moon:
Screw your manners!
Outside a dormitory in the palace, Liu Bei was lying on a couch and taking a nap.
Liu Bei, who has been worried about the war in Liangzhou recently, has not been sleeping well, and Mingyue rarely thinks of taking a nap.
Whether he was asleep or not, Liu Bei vaguely heard what sounded like loud thunder.
The bursts of thunder woke up Liu Bei from his sleep, who was already having trouble sleeping.
After waking up, before Liu Bei could recover, a waiter hurried in from outside the palace.
Liu Bei saw the panicked look of the foreign waiter and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What happened?"
Upon Liu Bei's inquiry, the waiter could not restrain his excitement and replied to Liu Bei:
"Your Majesty, the people outside the city are celebrating."
After hearing the report from the foreign servant, Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little confused.
Did Liu Bei know the sacrifices of the people of Chengdu? He was besieged by the Wei army in Liangzhou. What could Dangdong do for the people to celebrate?
Could it be that the Liangzhou War came to an end so quickly?
Even if Zi Sheng and Kong Ming came up with a plan to attack Dingjun Mountain by surprise, he who had walked through Dingjun Mountain himself back then knew how dangerous that plan would be.
Moreover, even if the army is sent to Dingjun Mountain, the strength of the two armies is still about the same, and it is an indisputable fact that when the Eastern Han Dynasty defeated the Wei army in large numbers.
Thinking of that, Liu Bei's heart was filled with deep worry.
At that time, Liu Bei did not associate the thunder that kept ringing in his ears with the cheers of the people.
Looking at Liu Bei's puzzled eyes, the foreign servant who had protected Liu Bei in his early years and voluntarily entered the palace after Liu Bei became emperor ordered people to open the door and window of the bedroom while Liu Bei was looking at him.
When the door and window were opened, the sunshine from outside shone in. The long-lost sunshine shone on Liu Bei, making him feel lazy.
But at that time, Liu Bei had no intention of enjoying the warm sunshine. His attention was attracted by the violent sounds coming from outside.
"Great victory in Liangzhou!"
"Great victory in Liangzhou!"
The Chancellor's Desk was just outside the palace, and the cheers that could be heard all over the city, how could they not fall into Liu Bei's ears after Shao tried to stop them?
When Liu Bei heard those four words, he, who had always been indifferent to emotion and anger, lifted up the quilt and ran out of the hall quickly wearing single clothes and bare feet, hoping to hear the cheers more clearly.
Voice.
After confirming that the four words he heard were correct, the Ma Zai Emperor, who was over sixty years old, was as anxious as a child begging for candy, and kept circling anxiously in the open space outside the palace.
"Here's the battle report!
Here’s my battle report!”
The waiter looked at the emperor who was anxiously asking for battle reports outside the palace, with a smile on his lips.
Recently, he has been trying to find a gift to give to Liu Bei to make Liu Bei happy.
Mingyue did it with the help of the general.
Isn't it the best gift for the people of Chengdu to personally tell the Han Emperor the news of Liangzhou's great victory?
