Chapter 334: One General Achieves Ten Thousand Bones Withered
Chapter 334: One general succeeds and thousands of bones wither
"Where is the person? Where is the person? Where did you hide my beauty?"
The little beauty arrived at the coffin shop, selected a coffin of her choice, and asked the store clerk to help her get her in. Finally, she selected some candles and silver coins, and asked the slaves to hold them. She suddenly felt a little shy.
When she got up, she whispered to Peng Han that she was a little anxious and wanted to make things easier, but Mr. Peng could not ignore her.【】
The little beauty let the man from the coffin shop lead her to the backyard. When she came to the back door, she glanced back. The charming charm made Peng Han's heart skip a beat. He stood there and had a good aftertaste. It was really incomparable.
Unfortunately, it took a long time, and finally he discovered that it was just a dream, and the beauty disappeared without a trace.
"Sir, please don't slander me. Liu's Coffin Shop is a serious business run by serious people. This is not a black shop. The young lady said she had a domestic emergency and wanted to use my toilet. Can I not borrow it? She ran away and locked me up.
Old Liu's nonsense. Here, this is the mourning garment she took off, and I'll give it back to you!"
A ball of white silk was thrown into Dong Han's arms by the owner of the coffin shop. Dong Han said angrily: "Chase me, find that little bitch, I will skin her!"
"Wait!"
The owner of the coffin shop rolled his eyes. The black eyes were gone, only the whites of his eyes were left: "Where's the money?"
Mr. Dong said angrily: "I was deceived by others. Didn't you arrive? Return the coffin to you!"
"Fart, can you return the coffin? Fortunately, you are a scholar, so you can return this coffin? Besides, haven't you, your father-in-law, already collected your money? What would you say if you take it out again?"
"That's not my dad!"
"I don't care if he is your father or your grandfather. If you don't pay, you can't leave."
"Damn it! Damn it! You little slaves, are you going to humiliate me just like this? Give me a beating!"
"Oh, you are still reasonable. You are the only one. Guys, come out with all your work. The one who sleeps in the Overlord's coffin is here!"
While Peng Han was fighting with the owner of the coffin shop, a handsome boy in a Tsing Yi hat, who looked like a servant of a wealthy family, appeared in a grain and rice shop a few streets away and said sweetly and crisply: "Shop, buy rice."
This person is naturally the little beauty who just "sold her body to bury her father", the quirky Xie Yufei. She was carried into the city by a cart and was separated from Peng Ziqi. As soon as the cart entered the city, the passengers in the cart went their separate ways. She
She had no choice but to find a place to go. The money was on Peng Ziqi's body, and only the clothes they carried were in her hands. Other than that, she had nothing.
How to survive in the city?
Xie Yufei's only property was a bag of clothes. She kept one set of men's clothes and one set of women's clothes. The rest were sent to the pawn shop. In exchange for more than a hundred dollars, she ripped off a piece of white cloth and made it into mourning clothes.
After deducting the food money for these two days, the remaining money was given to the relatives of the deceased.
Because of the fear of the plague, once a person dies in the city, according to Master Tie's order, they must be cremated. The fleeing family originally had to hand over the body for disposal. Now that they can exchange for some food money, why not agree?
So, the scene at the door of Peng's mansion appeared.
Xie Yufei also thought about the problem of eating in the future, and she thought about it earlier than Xia Xun.
Perhaps because she has been involved in dangerous businesses since she was a child, Xie Yufei has a particularly strong sense of crisis. After entering the city, when she walked into the pawn shop carrying all her belongings and a bag of clothes, she was not thinking about how to spend the next two days.
It's about how to live longer than others as much as possible.
When Xia Xun was carrying bags of grain and rice to Changchun Temple, Xie Yufei was also carrying away bags of grain and hiding them in the hiding place she had found. She did not leave any money behind, and she did not want to make money in Jinan City.
Refugee wealth, as soon as the Yan army withdraws, she will leave immediately. If the Yan army does not leave, then the most valuable thing in the city will be food. What will she do with the money?
War has nothing to do with justice or injustice. No matter how passionate, magnificent, magnificent and bizarre you describe it, its essence is always cold-blooded and cruel, and its purpose is to kill lives.
Thank you is like a vigilant groundhog. While thousands of creatures are still carefree, she has smelled the smell of danger and started to get busy for survival...
※
The city had been besieged for two months, food became more expensive than golden beans, and the city of Jinan was starved and desolate.
On the street, a woman held up a jade bracelet and shouted loudly: "For a steamed bun, I will exchange it for another steamed bun! Who will exchange it for me a steamed bun?"
Someone changed. The woman took the steamed bun and took a bite. Then a dirty little hand stretched out from beside her, grabbed the steamed bun and ran away.
"Give me back my steamed buns!" The woman chased her not far away, then she fell to the ground with all her strength. She could only cry bitterly...
In the alley, the door of a house was closed, and a thin child weakly slapped the door knocker. After a long time, the door was opened a crack, and it was tied with an iron chain inside. From the crack in the door, a young man's face was poked out.
, his complexion was better than that of the children outside, but like many refugees on the street, his face was blank, with only his eyes staring at the little boy outside as if he was examining a prisoner.
The little boy stretched out his thin and weak arms and begged: "Uncle, my father, and my mother are all starving to death... Uncle, please give me something to stutter, just one bite."
The young man said coldly: "Here, what shall we eat?"
There was a "bang" sound, and the door was closed. The little boy knocked weakly a few times and walked back in despair. After not going far, he fell to the ground and could not get up again.
Without him, people on the street would be like zombies. There are too many similar scenes. People often walk and fall to the ground and never get up again. From the beginning, people were afraid and scared, but now it is commonplace.
Even sleeping with the corpse, there is no feeling at all. Hunger has turned people's hearts as hard as iron...
The commander-in-chief Si Yamen, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan, Gao Wei and other officials were sitting at attention, all with solemn expressions, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.
After Gao Wei, who joined the army, reported the casualty statistics, he sighed deeply, clasped his hands together, and said in a deep voice: "The Yan army has been attacking the city for more than two months. The soldiers defending the city have suffered heavy casualties, and the city's food is limited. In order to persist for a long time, we must hold on for a long time.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city only had one meal a day, which consisted of coarse grains, vegetables, beans and noodles. They were weak, the number of sick people was increasing day by day, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers who could fight."
Sheng Yong asked Tie Xuan, who was participating in politics: "How much food is left in the government treasury now?"
Tie Xuan said with a serious face: "The remaining grain in the treasury can still be used by our officers and soldiers for three months, but... this is calculated based on the current daily consumption of one meal."
Sheng Yong took a long breath, grabbed his wrist and said: "We are short of soldiers and food. The peripheral troops and horses have not been able to carry out attacks that are serious enough to pose a threat to the Yan army. I don't know how long the Yan army will be trapped in the city. Two adults,
Any suggestions?”
Gao Wei said: "Sir, the garrison at the top of the city alone is no longer able to defend the city. Now, we must gather the young and strong, even women and children, to go to the city to help in the battle. Defending the city is different from marching to fight. As long as you have the strength, you can defend the city.
As long as you can move logs and rocks, you can do it. If you don’t have the strength to move logs and rocks, you can still do it by throwing golden soup and boiling water. However, if you want to recruit people, you have to take care of their food. Our current surplus food..."
As soon as he said this, the brilliance in Sheng Yong's eyes dimmed, and for a while, the three of them were silent again.
After a long time, Tie Xuan said in a low voice: "These days, I have been patrolling the city. I found that more and more people in the city have starved to death because they have no food. The government's food relief
It has stopped a long time ago, and the street patrol teams and cleaning teams composed of ordinary people have also stopped long ago. Now the city is full of hungry people and the stench is high."
He smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone is so hungry that they can't walk, so how can they still have the energy to do things for you? Sirs, if you continue like this, the only result will be that the whole city will collapse and everyone will be destroyed. So, I thought of something
A last resort..."
Sheng Yong and Gao Wei both raised their heads and said to him urgently: "Master Tie, please speak!"
Tie Xuan said slowly: "The only way to hold on is to collect food from the entire city's soldiers and civilians, make unified arrangements and distribute it, and give priority to the soldiers."
Gao Wei said blankly: "How different is this from now?"
Tie Xuan said in a deep voice: "Yes! Many wealthy gentry and big families have a lot of food stored in them. If they are all collected for military use, then the tall men can recruit young men to defend the city. In order to have food to eat, the common people
You must be willing to go up the city wall."
Gao Wei said: "But now, what will happen to the people who cannot defend the city?"
Tie Xuan said: "If those families who are driven out of the city and whose grain is collected for military use are unwilling to defend the city, they will all be sent out of the city. They are now in the city to compete with the army for grain."
Sheng Yong frowned slightly and said: "I'm afraid... King Yan will not fulfill my wish. Once the people are sent out of the city, King Yan will understand our intentions. If he refuses to let people go, what will happen? We should bear the responsibility
Isn’t it true that our duty to protect the land of Jinan is to make the elders of Jinan die in the city?”
Tie Xuan's eyes slightly filled with tears, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter how miserable it is, how can it be worse than Zhang Xun in Suiyang? In order to defend the city, General Zhang Xun even killed his own concubines, and all the old and weak people in the city were killed.
Is he willing to slaughter the people to use them as army food? He did this just because as long as Suiyang is defended, even if the city is destroyed, the country and the country can be saved."
Speaking of this, his tears were as cold as a blade, and his voice became cold, as hard as iron stone: "Jinan, which connects the north and the south, once it falls behind Yanni, Yanni's momentum will increase, and he will have a way to counter it.
The capital of the imperial court is huge, so no matter how big the sacrifice is, the city of Jinan cannot be lost! A small number of people will die, but a large number of people will be saved! Destroying my Jinan can save thousands of miles of land for the emperor. Isn’t it worth it? We swore an oath.
, vowing to live and die with Jinan, even if all the soldiers and civilians of Jinan died in the battle, it would still be worth it to force Yan Ni to retreat, this is where the righteousness lies!"
Sheng Yong, Gao Wei, and Tie Xuan said again: "The refugees may be blocked by King Yan when they leave the city, but once he prevents the refugees from leaving the city, he will definitely be blamed for the death of innocent refugees! Staying in the city will only delay the whole process.
If the people in the city are about to die, driving them out of the city may give them a chance of survival. Now, we can only compete with Yan Ni!"
Sheng Yong asked: "Compared to what?"
Tie Xuan said every word: "Who is more ruthless!"
