Chapter 24 Grab Grain(1/2)
Had a peaceful night's sleep.
Until noon the next day, no Yongliang army came to cause trouble.
Yang Zheng felt relieved.
Then he started his own plan and asked Cheng Shisan to prepare some side medicine for himself. After taking it, he became pale and groggy.
Publicize to the outside world that you are infected with the plague.
Everyone in the Chinese military camp felt in danger.
Xun Fan came to visit once on a false note, standing far away, covering his mouth and nose with silk cloth, saying a few incoherent words and then turned and left.
This made Yang Zheng feel that he came to see if he was dead.
Zhang Te and Zhou Yu never left each other and guarded the door.
At night, something happened in the city, and chaos suddenly broke out.
Shouting, the fire was bright.
Zhang Te came in to report that someone had escaped and was caught by the cavalry under curfew.
Yang Zheng fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, I felt very peaceful.
Zhou Yu came in with a bowl of water and saw that Yang Zheng was awake, with a happy face, "General Guo and Governor Xiahou have withdrawn to Chang'an."
"Oh?" Yang Zheng drank the water and immediately became energetic.
His senses gradually recovered, and a faint smell of blood entered his nose.
"Could it be that someone was killed last night?"
"At the beginning of last night, someone fled the city and was captured. Early this morning, the Yongliang army complained that the plague was caused by wounded soldiers, so they shot and killed the wounded soldiers in the city."
"What?" Yang Zheng was shocked. He went around in such a big circle just to save them and use them for his own purposes. He didn't expect to indirectly harm them.
Linghu Sheng and Zhang Te pushed open the door and walked in. They all looked happy when Yang Zheng woke up.
"How is the situation in the city?" Yang Zheng was a little uninterested.
"There are only wounded soldiers left in the city, and the people have fled. Governor Xiahou and General Guo have returned to Chang'an. One part of the Yongliang army is stationed in Huaili, and the other part is stationed in Weinan to guard against the Shu army and prevent the sick people from scattering elsewhere." Linghu
Sheng replied.
There was no owner here for the time being, and Yang Zheng felt a lot more relaxed all over his body.
"Grain, how much grain is left?"
This is the most critical thing. Without food, not to mention wounded soldiers, your own life is in question.
Linghu Sheng's eyes darkened, "The military rations have been taken away, and there are less than three days of food in the city."
Most of the joy I just felt was gone instantly.
Yang Zheng sighed in his heart, it was really difficult.
But since I have chosen to take this path, I can only grit my teeth and move forward.
"No, there is still food." Zhang Te suddenly said, "Cao Xia has a lot of property, and in order to deceive others, he deliberately came last, and there is a lot of food in it."
Everyone looked at Yang Zheng with bright eyes.
Isn’t this forcing oneself to go to Liangshan?
But if you abide by the law these days, there is definitely something wrong with your brain.
Yang Zheng really wants to take the right path and take it one step at a time, but the key point is that the right path won't let you go. There isn't even an imperial examination, only the ninth-grade official law.
Family background, morality, talent, and family background are ranked first.
In addition to these, it also depends on appearance.
Pretty boys can really get along in this era.
Yang Zheng touched his face, it was dark, rough, and had scars...
I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be a pretty boy anymore.
Let’s talk about Cao Xia, who used his hands to pluck the feathers of geese and drain the lake for fishing. How many wounded soldiers were killed?
He killed people on the front line, fought for the country, and took away 80% of the rewards he received in exchange for his life!
We already have this land, so we can’t take care of that much.
How bold a person is, how productive the land is.
In the stage of primitive accumulation, you were born in a mire with no foundation, but how can you survive in the mire?
After all, later generations have struggled in society, and Yang Zheng is not stupid and sweet.
It’s impossible not to do something sexy.
If your heart is bright, why should you be afraid of darkness?
"Assemble the troops!"
Never hesitate when it's time to take action.
There weren't many opportunities for him in this era.
The three of them looked happy.
Thirty people gathered in the camp, all of whom were close followers of the three of them. Some of them followed Yang Zheng and fought their way out of Luo Valley.
Since he is staying, he must be absolutely determined.
From now on, they are Yang Zheng’s true confidants!
Yang Zheng struck the ground with his sword, as if he had returned to the days when he fought with iron horses in the Luo Valley.
People are forced out.
If he had a good boss and a good family background, Yang Zheng would never be like this.
Not long after, Linghu Sheng summoned more than a hundred wounded soldiers.
Everyone is miserable, and I don’t know how they lived these days.
The wounded soldiers had long given up on the imperial court.
Since the death of Zhuge Wuhou, the biggest threat has disappeared, and the Wei State has let itself go.
From top to bottom, there was no excess of extravagance and lewdness. Emperor Ming kept a harem of ten thousand people. He would abduct beautiful women directly into his harem when he saw them on the street.
A great deal of construction work was carried out in Luoyang, and thousands of palaces were built.
In the Sima and Jin dynasties, extravagance and promiscuity were even greater than those in the Han and Wei dynasties.
The nobles of the aristocratic families killed people and sucked blood, praised the rich and fought against the rich, and all kinds of outrageous things are too numerous to describe.
At that time, where was their morality? Where was their mind?
The rich have endless fields, while the poor have no place to stand. The so-called romance of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was based on the enslavement and oppression of the common people by the gentry.
In other dynasties, at least the first two generations after reunification were somewhat humane, but the Sima family looked like they were dying in despair since the founding of the country.
If you blindly enjoy yourself and forget your mission, you will eventually fall into the long river of history in an extremely humiliating posture and be reviled by future generations for thousands of years.
Yang Zheng had been a disciple soldier in his previous life and had a red attribute. He had passively and actively learned a lot of various theories and dragon-slaying techniques from the master.
So we can get a glimpse of the essence shrouded in the gloom of the times.
Yang Zheng glanced at everyone and waved his sword to the north, "We have all been abandoned by the imperial court and are trapped in a dead city. If we don't save ourselves, we will surely die!"
"I would like to be dispatched by the general!" Zhang Te shouted in front of people, which instantly aroused everyone's response.
"Okay, follow me to get the food!"
At this moment, there is no need to say anything more.
Just trying to survive.
Survive!
It was as if a black cloud swept out of the city.
The few horses in the city were used as scout mounts to keep an eye on Cao Xia's team.
The wounded soldiers already harbored immense resentment in their hearts.
How can you not feel resentful when you are treated like this?
Among the green mountains and green waters, Cao Xia's convoy meandered. There were about a hundred vehicles. In addition to food, there were also armors, soft goods and other items. Young women and children were actually sitting on the dozen or so vehicles in the middle, but their faces were vaguely visible.
Their hands were tied behind their backs.
You don't need to think about it to know that these are slaves that Cao Xia plundered.
During the battle against Shu, all the livestock in Weinan were requisitioned and died of thirst in the Luo Valley.
So the carts can only be pulled by people.
To be continued...
