"Is the news accurate? Is the source reliable?" Fuchen asked hurriedly.
"Absolutely reliable. I will take you away now." Concubine Qian said and was about to resist others and leave.
Fuchen struggled quickly and subconsciously blocked his head with his arms, "I don't believe you!"
Just as Concubine Qian was about to take action, Fuchen immediately shouted, "Quiet!" Concubine Qian was frightened, turned around and jumped out of the window to leave.
There was a sound of arresting thieves outside.
Jing ran in and asked Fuchen if anything was okay.
Fuchen was in shock and did not react.
Jing stepped forward to check and confirmed that nothing was wrong. Then she asked if she knew who it was.
Fuchen raised his head, his face still blank, he slowly shook his head and continued to be confused.
The Lan River burst its banks. Does he know about this?
Once the food line is cut off, the north will directly become a "doomsday state", which is more terrifying than the biological crisis.
Liu Shen is not here. News has been blocked again. All aspects.
There is also the imperial city Anseong here, and there is an emperor sitting in Anseong.
"What's the matter?"
Liu Shen and his men passed by the city and had a meal, then changed their horses and galloped back all night.
"...It's dangerous down there..."
The dust rises.
That's weird, why are you angry?
Fuchen still didn't understand. If the Zhang family was angry and reached into the backyard, the whistle wouldn't stay either.
You can eat more in the future.
The flood has reached the middle reaches, and there is only three or four days for complete blockade. No matter how fast we rush, we will never be able to catch up with the final gap.
What is more terrifying is not death, but the days of being tortured by fear and hunger before starving to death.
Zhang Jia, Zhang Yunqing.
Liu Shen said nothing, just covered her eyes - he didn't want to see her expression. He didn't want to see any sad and helpless expression, which seemed to say: You are useless.
Trouble.
"Tell him the news."
King Liu's army was as excited as if they had been given blood.
That’s food! That’s food! It’s life-saving food!
That is purgatory on earth.
There will be no human beings left in the north, and only wild beasts will be left alive.
Fuchen was stuck in the small courtyard, unable to go anywhere, and knew nothing.
"He is the appointed young master of the Zhang family and the future head of the Zhang family. He can naturally protect him."
"We lost." A dull voice said.
In addition, she had never felt any pain in so many days, so there must be something that she couldn't pay attention to.
"..." Fu Chen was surrounded by dust for a while, then quickly regained his consciousness and said, "How do you know?"
The floating dust stayed in place quietly. His eyebrows were still deeply locked in sadness.
Strong, disgusting smell of blood.
"You go remind King Liu and ask him to keep an eye on the emperor... No, no need." No matter how stupid he is, he shouldn't be able to distinguish the truth from the false.
There was silence in the room for a while.
Repetition, contradiction, and no peace.
Qiao Jun... Fuchen asked Jing to help her find books. Does Qiao Jun have any taboos?
This layer of blood and sweat touched his face slightly again.
"You don't have to worry about these."
Fuchen wanted to understand everything, and felt cold in his heart. He was really cruel.
Fuchen gave up thinking about this matter and continued to think about Lan He.
At that moment, Fuchen understood who Concubine Qian belonged to.
Fuchen sighed in his heart: Another concubine with money.
Following him to the study, Liu Shen took out a map and explained to Fuchen the course of the Lanhe River.
If the embankment breaks, the Shajiang River is more likely to burst!
Liu Shen raised his head and glanced at Fuchen coldly, "Maybe there was no flood at all."
Liu Shen didn't answer.
How can an army of tens of thousands store food?
If you want to save, you can only save enough for two or three months. How can you compare with businessmen who can save for one year?
Liu Shen thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this, I'll handle it." Then he stood up and left.
It may not affect the entire river - he dare not say this.
faint.
"Thirty thousand grains were surrendered by the Langya Wang family and shipped to Ancheng. I went to rob them. The Wang family directly burned the grains." Liu Shen said calmly.
"Get out!" Liu Shen said.
Shajiang, Shajiang, Shajiang is the upper reaches of Lanhe River.
Fuchen was stunned again. His emotions were extinguished like fire, and he was cold to the bone.
Should have thought of it earlier.
Do you want everyone to die holding each other together?
They eat each other's flesh, drink their blood, and try their best to survive... Fu Chen shuddered.
There is a person sitting at the head of the bed.
"Weixi and the lower reaches of the Lanhe River." Liu Shen also connected the points of Fuchen, "Is it the upper reaches that we want to decide?"
When everyone excitedly opened the city gate, rushed into the city, and seized the military supplies, horses and grass, as well as the county guards and county magistrates, the lieutenants finally realized: Where is King Liu?
But now, the city is useless.
She was curious, which bastard was so inhumane? Would he fight to the death?
The river is so ferocious that it can wreak havoc on Wuxing in half a month.
"Grain merchant. Today I asked the grain merchant for grain, and he happily gave it to me. I asked him where it would come from and whether he could deliver thirty thousand shi in the next month. He said yes." Liu Shen answered carefully.
This thought was very stubborn. I lingered for a long time and was finally dismissed by reason: It’s the beginning of summer, so I’ve stocked up on all the food, and it’s all gone, which is even more wasteful.
Fuchen looked directly into his eyes and asked, "Have you ever thought about the Lan River bursting its banks?"
"Floating dust!" Liu Shen shouted.
"The current is steep, the river is dangerous, and navigation is difficult."
He also didn't know how Qian, a concubine who lived in the same corner as her, knew about it?
Fuchen raised his head and "looked" around.
But when it comes to the food line, these millions of people are really starving.
Hunger eats away at the human brain.
Eat less today.
"The south. Mainly Southwest Qiao County. Kanglong is in charge in the central part, and Wang Clan of Langya is in charge in the southeast. There are very few grain merchants who openly transport it here."
"What do you want to say?" Fuchen said.
Therefore, even if there are 30,000 dans of grain, it is not enough to give to others. We can only give it to ourselves.
The gears are already turning.
But hunger is different.
Liu Shen is always ahead of her. On the battlefield where information determines strategy, he is the leader.
Liu Shen, who hurried back, was still frowning. He thought whether it was Fuchen who was playing tricks. But according to her personality, she was better at making him lose his fighting ability with one blow, so that he could be stabbed to death by the enemy, rather than this little pain.
"I remember that the southwest region is a fertile land. Qiaojun has fertile soil and prosperous silk. Maybe we can open a gap here." Fuchen came up with an idea.
After Liu Shen left, Jing appeared in the small courtyard and said quietly, "King Liu has been letting people inform everyone these days that the Lan River bursts its banks and they want to go to Yixing and Wuxing alive. A large number of people have already flocked to the Weixi border.
,Crossing the Lan River.”
Liu Shen pointed to the map and said, "Go down from Tianlan Mountain, pass through Wancheng, Nanyang, and Danyang in the southwest, then follow the Lujiang River into Hanoi, turn into Longkang, Yingchuan, then Wuxing, Yixing, and finally enter
East China Sea. That food came from Wuxing."
Fuchen let go of his hand, put on his coat, and said coldly, "If I don't understand, it's not me who told you the news, but you who informed me about the evacuation."
The gears of history are turning slowly, and millions of creatures are turning into bones under the ruts - it seems to be a decision.
How can one's life be destroyed?
Langya Wang family!
These are no problem.
Fuchen was anxious for a moment, and his heart ached slightly.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Liu Shen squatted in front of Fu Chen and asked calmly.
Acropolis was the city that Liu Shen attacked ten days ago, and it was also the sixth city that was recovered.
Could it be that... someone blocked the message?
There is no peaceful place up and down the Lan River.
"I asked, the Lan River has not burst its banks," Liu Shen said.
The river floods every year, but only because the Xiahou organization has been organized to divert the river water every year, and the ferocious river water flows downstream, there has been no flooding and disaster.
Thirty thousand dans, that is, thirty thousand grains.
After a sleepless night, I was woken up again early in the morning.
The river bed is steep, the water is highly erosive, and it is surrounded by dangerous mountains.
Driven by hunger, people will crazily eat whatever they can catch in their mouths. This includes dead people and living people.
Why can Qian's concubine be found when Liu Shen comes back? Didn't the secret guards eliminate the hidden danger before?
"What do you want?" Fuchen asked.
I'm just afraid that if she goes, she will be treated as a pawn to threaten Liu Shen, something truly worse than a dog.
"..." Fuchen froze.
Jing's expression was sad. She knew that the princess could not see it, so she allowed herself to keep her expression. Looking at the outside of the small courtyard wall, the sky was faintly reddish, and it was almost nightfall. "King Liu also told the army that if they want to leave, every day
People can take half a bucket of rice and walk, but there is a requirement. Before crossing the Lan River, if they meet the old, weak, sick and disabled on the road, they must kill ten. If there is someone who wants to repay his nature, and why, he can be said to be the ghost king.
When Liu Shen's troops were under attack, the ghost king gave orders and the little ghosts begged for their lives."
Fuchen reached out to touch the silver whistle made into a pendant in his clothes. Liu Shen also knew about this thing and who gave it to her, but he acquiesced in her keeping it.
Because the loop does not pass through enemy cities, it is all your own cities.
Weird.
"Who can tell you?" Liu Shen pressed.
The deputy general also wanted to say, "Don't you want to kill? In the past, didn't you rush to the front and kill to the bottom?"
"Where did he say he passed by?" Fuchen grasped the key point sensitively.
The hand on his face suddenly covered his eyes.
Liu Shen immediately knew the seriousness of this matter and frowned, "Who told you?"
There was no news for the next five or six days.
The originally quiet courtyard now had no one in sight.
I don’t know about Weixi River in Wuxing, because the river is still blocked upstream! It is blocked in Qiaojun and does not flow to Weixi River at all!
Liu Shen was angry because if this was true, most of his army's food line would be cut off! In addition, someone blocked the news and wanted to trap him in the north. He was really a ghost king who eats human flesh!
That night, there was another person on Fuchen's bed. This time, she was not so surprised.
When he was so angry before, he seemed to know that the real person behind Qian's concubine was Zhang Yunqing of the Zhang family.
"I should know what kind of military affairs women discuss." Liu Shen muttered dissatisfied.
"You don't understand." Liu Shen gave an excuse.
Useless.
Before Fuchen was overjoyed to ask for thirty thousand grains, he noticed a smell.
Fuchen was stunned, and a pair of hands touched his face.
"If you want to leave, blow the whistle."
"The Shajiang River stretches for thousands of miles and the mountains are steep." He paused silently and asked silently if this is where he was?
"Continue." Fuchen urged.
The three-year disaster is harsh to say, but the actual death toll is estimated to be between 100,000 and 200,000, which is about 10%.
Anxious and restless, even if he tries his best to suppress his emotions, he can't help but worry: Is he chasing food? Is he going to hoard food?
Food, food, all I can think about is food.
"You don't know?" Fuchen also frowned.
Where do these millions of people go?
"I have a feud with the Zhang family, so he can still protect me?" Fuchen asked.
Fuchen felt, "I didn't cry." It was just that I was helpless.
Got it all!
Fuchen grabbed the man and said seriously, "How can I ignore it? The North covers thousands of miles, has twenty-four cities, and has a population of one million. How do you want me to ignore it?"
At the same time, Liu Shen, who was preparing to attack before the battle, felt pain, frowned and thought for a moment. When the deputy general urged him to issue the attack order, he roared "Ah" and rushed forward.
Concubine Qian saw Fuchen's expression and knew that talking was useless, so she turned and left.
But there are at least one million people in this place. There is a famine here, but at least because the food from the south is shipped to sell, twelve major nobles are in charge, and there are large groups of people who rely on the nobles to survive. This figure is roughly estimated to be one hundred
Ten thousand.
Fuchen Na Na walked out of the study, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Liu Shen was about to stand up and leave again, but Fuchen grabbed his hand and said, "Take me to see the map." He lifted the quilt and put on his shoes.
Everyone also roared loudly and rushed forward.
"The location is headed by the Xiahou family and the Cao family. The Xiahou family is good at martial arts, and their ancestors were the founding generals. The Cao family is good at singing and dancing, and has been married to the royal family for generations..."
"Although the people who defended the city were killed, what King Liu ordered at that time was to kill the old, weak, sick and disabled. Based on the number of people killed, the food grabbed was only a few thousand people and a thousand tons of food. Most of the food was not
move."
Finally, on the seventh day, Liu Shen appeared again.
In the evening, Fu Chen felt her food, two dishes and one soup, all in bowls - the Wangfu never wasted anything. She had calculated all the food and food, and did not waste it, including the current backyard -
- She had the idea of devouring it.
Liu Shen stopped talking.
"The people in Qiaojun are good at sewing cotton and making brocade. One piece of Qiao brocade can be used for a thousand taels. The land is fertile."
No need to answer either.
She didn't ask how many people had been killed or how. She just felt cold.
"It means that the flood has not reached Wuxing, but is still in the middle and upper reaches." Fuchen took over.
Liu Shen waved his hand.
For the sake of Liu Wang Liu Shen, millions of people in the north were treated as cattle.
It is much faster to keep an eye on the royal family. The emperor is still the emperor no matter how much he displays it, and those who block the news cannot block the emperor as well.
"What did you say? Say it again." Fuchen exclaimed.
How to deal with millions of living beings?
Thirty thousand dan, an army of 30,000 can last about three months.
No matter how much news is blocked, the refugees in the southwest will not be able to stop the flow. In half a month, there will be refugees leaving.
Fuchen was still stunned. His hands were rough and sticky to the touch, as if sweat and blood were stuck on them.
The dust was so hot that it burst into flames. He gritted his teeth and showed a murderous look on his face.
The hands touched his face and continued, "We had no food. So I robbed the Acropolis of food and killed some people."
The roar is high and fierce, shocking the enemy and boosting morale.
"Really?" Fuchen said calmly.
I even think about eating every day, and when it’s time to actually eat, I think about saving.
How did the people behind her know about it earlier than Liu Shen?
Fuchen shook his head to express that he didn't know, and asked, "Do you have food in storage?"
Fuchen clapped his hands fiercely and figured it out. He asked urgently, "Where did Liu Shen transport the grain from?"
On the evening of the next day, Liu Shen rushed into the palace and walked straight to the small courtyard. He saw that the man was still under the tree, but his eyebrows were sad.
At least, living people will not eat corpses if they are afraid of being transformed into corpses. There are always some people who maintain the lowest level of humanity, even if it is just because of fear.
King Liu himself rushed forward, killed the enemy general, and then ordered his lieutenants to continue, while he turned around and ran away.
"..." Floating dust.
Jing continued, "The army has dispersed, and only a few thousand people are still following King Liu. This Wuhe City was empty the day before yesterday. The backyard of the palace is clean."
"Why didn't you leave?" Fuchen asked.
"There will always be people who have to bear the blame. There will also be people who are willing to follow, whether in the palace or in hell." Jing said.
