Chapter 504: The streets are deserted, looking for revenge with bare feet
More than 100,000 Wei troops were wiped out. What kind of concept is this?
Most of the people who had just heard the good news had never been on the battlefield, and they could not imagine in their minds how spectacular it would be to have more than 100,000 Wei troops arrayed on the battlefield.
But this does not affect the people's analogies in their minds.
There are only over 100,000 residents in Chengdu, but such a large population is enough to make Chengdu one of the top ten largest cities in the world.
In other words, their general wiped out an entire enemy in Chengdu?
Chengdu is one of the top ten cities in the world!
There are only ten such big cities in the world!
In the past, people in Chengdu only thought that the world was very big, and the range of activities of many people in Chengdu for generations was only a few dozen miles.
And the scope of the world is more than one hundred thousand miles?
But at this moment, in the face of this dizzying achievement, the people of Chengdu felt that the world seemed small.
It's so small that for their general, he can almost hold it with one hand.
After thinking of this, the people who were gathering around him couldn't help but take a breath of air.
But the people who gathered suddenly thought that this great victory was fought by their general. When they realized this, an uncontrollable sense of pride emerged in the hearts of every people.
The Han people have a very strong sense of honor and disgrace.
This has been true since ancient times.
Under the 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 the horse was almost like a gust of wind passing by. As a result, not many people heard Liu Yin's victory report with their own ears.
In fact, at least hundreds of people around the city gate heard the good news with their own ears, including people who ran out of their houses.
But now hundreds or even thousands of people are gradually gathering around the city gate, and the number is still rising at an extremely fast rate. With such a base of people, hundreds of people who have heard the good news with their own ears have become
A few.
When there are many people who have not heard it with their own ears, arguments will inevitably arise.
The victory report of "the total annihilation of more than 100,000 Wei troops" was too shocking.
This naturally made many people doubt such good news, especially those scholars who claimed to have read the Four Books and Five Classics. As time went by, the people who gathered quickly divided 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". This suggestion was quickly agreed by all the people.
The reason why some people express disbelief in the good news is not because they don't want their side to win a great victory, but because the sense of honor and disgrace flowing in their blood prompts them to hear the exact truth.
As we all know, Liu Yin's final destination will be the Shangshu Terrace. If you want to confirm the truth of the news, going to the Shangshu Terrace is the best way.
Driven by a strong sense of honor and disgrace in their hearts, the common people who had the same goal, led by some scholars, walked in the direction of the Chancery.
After seeing this, Jufu on the city wall almost jumped up with joy.
He had just recognized Liu Yin as a messenger from the front line, but just now he only thought that Liu Yin brought news from Jiange at most.
This allowed Jufu to directly put Liu Yin into the city.
If he had known that Liu Yin had brought such a great victory, he would have intercepted Liu Yin in the name of censorship and asked him about the details of the battle.
But after Liu Yin disappeared, Jufu's idea came to nothing, which made him regretful.
But won’t new opportunities come now?
Seeing the crowd of people below moving towards the Chancellor's Stand, Jufu said to the deputy general with a "worried" look on his face:
"If there are too many people gathering together, a stampede may easily occur. I cannot sit idly by and ignore it."
After giving this high-sounding reason, Jufu handed over the defense to the deputy general, and then he led hundreds of sergeants to quickly walk towards the city.
And no matter how well Jufu hides it, his true thoughts cannot be hidden from the lieutenant who lives with him day and night. Jufu can hardly hold back the smile in his eyes!
But the rank of officer was overwhelming, so the lieutenant general could only help him and left with some sergeants in the name of maintaining order.
His eyes were full of envy and anger.
He doesn't blame Jufu for "pretending to serve the public for private benefit", but he blames Jufu for "pretending to serve the public for private benefit" without bringing him along.
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 kept shouting the great news as he did just now while heading towards the Chancellor's Desk.
Liu Yin was quite happy with it.
In the Han Dynasty, there was a system of separation of cities and towns. Normal streets would only gather pedestrians or residents.
But as the news spread rapidly, soon the vendors or businessmen in the nearby city immediately put down their work, walked out of the market and went to the streets to investigate the situation.
Even the people in the city are like this, let alone the people walking on the streets or living on both sides of the streets?
The scene just now at the city gate was repeated in the same way on the streets Liu Yin passed.
When it developed to the end, even the dignitaries living in the lanes were alerted one after another and unconsciously joined the surging flow of people.
At this moment, no matter he is a scholar, a farmer, a trafficker, a knight, or a businessman.
Perhaps they usually have different statuses, but at this moment they all serve a common purpose and turn into an unstoppable torrent, following Liu Yin towards the Chancellor's Desk.
Wherever the torrent passes, the streets are deserted!
Such a scene had never happened before even when the emperor proclaimed himself emperor.
It's just such a spectacular sight, but it caused pain to the county soldiers and officials in Chengdu.
After hearing this, Yang Hong kept pacing excitedly and stamped his feet anxiously.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But he also knows that people's hearts are so powerful that no one can stop things from developing to this point.
So Yang Hong could only send a large number of county magistrates and officials to follow the humanoid torrent and constantly maintain order.
Yang Hong's subordinates were all officials, and with the help of sergeants led by You Jufu, they could barely maintain the stability of the humanoid torrent.
After arranging this matter, Yang Hong personally rushed to Shangshutai 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 Shangshu Terrace, he suddenly saw the nervous expressions on the soldiers' faces. They hurriedly took out the sabers from their waists and guarded the door of the Shangshu Terrace.
There was even a soldier who stumbled directly into the minister's desk, as if he wanted to report something important.
Seeing the frightened faces of the soldiers at the door of the Chancery, as if they had seen a ghost, Liu Yin belatedly looked behind him.
It was okay 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 this, ordinary people who didn't know the inside story would think that Liu Yin was inciting the people to attack Shangshutai.
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, more and more cold sweat appeared on Liu Yin's face.
Fortunately, just before the huge crowd was about to completely surround the Chancery, Ma Liang and Yang Hong hurried from the Chancery to the door.
After seeing Liu Yin, Yang Hong really wanted to go up and kick him.
But Ma Liang grasped the key to the matter, and he shouted at Liu Yin: "Hurry up and submit the battle report!"
Ma Liang's loud shout made Liu Yin wake up. He hurriedly took out the battle report from the envelope on his waist, and then quickly stepped forward and handed the battle report into Ma Liang's hands.
Not long after Ma Liang received the battle report, 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. He glared at Liu Yin fiercely: You kid, you better not be talking nonsense!
Then Ma Liang immediately opened the battle report in his hand and read it.
Ma Liang's action of opening the battle report was noticed by the tens of thousands of people outside the Chancellery. They were about to know the truth at this moment, but they all fell silent in unison.
Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looked directly at the battle report in Ma Liang's hand. There was uneasiness, eagerness, and determination in their eyes, but mostly they were full of expectation.
It was also the first time for Ma Liang to read the contents of the battle report under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of burning eyes, which made him very nervous.
But after reading the contents of the battle report, Ma Liang's inner nervousness disappeared.
At this moment, his hands holding the battle report were trembling.
Ma Liang's abnormal performance made Yang Hong even more uneasy.
Just when Yang Hong was considering whether to snatch the battle report from Ma Liang's hand, Ma Liang raised his head and looked at the tens of thousands of enthusiastic people at the bottom of the steps.
After seeing the tens of thousands of people with different faces but strong expectations in their eyes, Ma Liang now understood why Liu Yin caused such a sensation in the city today.
In addition to the sense of honor and disgrace engraved in the blood of the Han subjects, this was also because the people of Chengdu had sacrificed too much in the battle of Liangzhou.
In order to support the front line, every household in Chengdu sent family members either as soldiers or as civilian husbands, and each household donated most of the food stored at home to the front line.
This made many of the tens of thousands of people in his eyes look good.
The people in Chengdu have given almost everything to support this battle. Who would not pay attention to such a battle and not look forward to it?
After realizing this, Ma Liang did not hesitate anymore. He raised the battle report in his hand and answered loudly to the tens of thousands of people below:
"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. He just repeated Liu Yin's words. However, after Ma Liang shouted these words himself, the tens of thousands of people below became restless.
Many people among the people knew Ma Liang, and besides, he was at the door of the Chancellor's Stand. Under such circumstances, the victory announced was certain!
The restlessness first started in the front row, and then spread to the rear at an extremely fast speed.
The speed is as fast as the people's expectations are.
Soon after, the tens of thousands of people who gathered heard the certain news.
So a moment later, bursts of violent cheers and celebrations broke out among the crowd of tens of thousands of people.
At this 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 this moment, some people embraced and celebrated with the people around them, and at this moment, some people kept dancing their hands and laughing loudly.
The next moment, tens of thousands of people shouted the name "General" in unison.
This is the hero who protects their home and country, this is the hero who makes their hard work not in vain!
The cheers and celebrations were louder and louder, deafening, and resounded throughout Chengdu.
At the end, it was like thunder that turned into thunder on the ground and rushed straight up into the sky, breaking away the long-lasting dark clouds in the sky.
The sunshine that had not been seen for a long time, like naughty children who wanted to join in the big cheers, immediately showed its body and shined on the faces of everyone.
The warm sunshine shines brightly on every citizen.
The whole city of Han people celebrated on the same day, and the sound of celebration was like thunder in the sky!
And at this moment, why wasn't Ma Liang's face full of smiles?
But this news must be delivered to His Majesty as soon as possible.
Ma Liang spoke his thoughts to Yang Hong who was standing aside, but 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 looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing heartily. By the end of the laugh, both Ma Liang and Yang Hong couldn't help but cover their stomachs.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These two people are both famous people in the world, but today the whole city is celebrating:
Screw your manners!
...
In a dormitory of the palace, Liu Bei was lying on the couch and taking a nap.
Liu Bei, who has been worried about the war in Liangzhou recently, has not been sleeping well, and it is rare for him to think of taking a nap today.
But while he was asleep, Liu Bei vaguely heard what sounded like loud thunder.
These 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 chamberlain hurriedly ran in from outside the palace.
Liu Bei saw the servant in such a hurry and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What happened?"
Under Liu Bei's inquiry, the chamberlain could not restrain his inner ecstasy and replied to Liu Bei:
"Your Majesty, the people in the city are celebrating."
After hearing the report from the chamberlain, Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little confused.
Liu Bei knew the dedication of the people of Chengdu, but now that Liangzhou was besieged by the Wei army, what else could the people celebrate at the moment?
But how could the Liangzhou war come to an end so quickly?
Even if Zi Sheng and Kong Ming came up with a surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain, he who had walked through Dingjun Mountain himself knew how dangerous this strategy was.
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 the Hanzhong tribe is currently in the hands of the Wei army.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei's heart was filled with deep worries.
At this time, Liu Bei had not yet associated the thunder that kept ringing in his ears with the cheers of the people.
Looking at Liu Bei's puzzled eyes, this chamberlain 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 under Liu Bei's gaze.
When the door and window were opened, the sunshine from outside suddenly shone in. The long-lost sunshine shone on Liu Bei, making him feel lazy.
But at this 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 is just outside the palace, and the cheers that can be heard all over the city, how can it not fall into Liu Bei's ears after Shao tried to stop them?
When Liu Bei heard these four words, he, who had always been indifferent to emotion and anger, lifted up the quilt on his body, and then ran out of the palace quickly wearing single clothes and bare feet, hoping to hear the cheers more clearly.
.
After confirming that the four words he heard were correct, the Horse King, 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 temple.
"Here's the battle report!
Here’s my battle report!”
The chamberlain looked at the emperor outside the palace who was anxiously asking for battle reports, 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.
Today he 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?
