"I...I..." Lao Ma hesitated and was speechless by Zhao Li's question. He protected the earthen pot with both hands. This made Zhao Li even more suspicious. Zhao Li opened the lid with a calm face.
Inside the earthenware jar, I could only see half of the water chestnuts in the earthenware jar and a few pieces of white mince cut into minced meat.
Zhao Li frowned and asked: "What kind of meat is this? Come on, call the soldiers from the kitchen. The soldiers in the city ate all the leather armor when the food was exhausted, and the people in the city even relied on cooking water chestnuts.
, locust tree leaves to survive. The chaff has been eaten and even a mouse can’t be found in the city. Where can the sparrow meat come from?” When the old horse heard this, Zhao Li was already confused and fell to his knees on the ground, but he still said nothing.
.
Several soldiers in the kitchen were brought to the city by Fang Zichou. When they saw the old horse kneeling, they hurriedly knelt down and begged: "General, please have mercy. Please don't make it difficult for the chief cook..."
Zhao Li shouted: "I just want to know if there is still meat to eat in the city?"
"General, the water chestnut soup we just delivered to the military camp...the meat was...cut by the cook himself from the leg...and boiled in the soup. General Chuzhou has been short of food for a long time, and there are many
The wounded soldiers all starved to death because they had nothing to eat! The chief cook said that if there was no more meat to eat in the city, the soldiers guarding the city would starve to death unless they were shot by golden dogs! So the chief cook said
I cut off my own flesh and cooked it for everyone to eat. General, don’t ask any more questions..." The soldiers in the kitchen were already crying and choked with sobs that they could no longer speak.
Although Zhao Li knew that since the Bingwu year of Jingkang, gold thieves had invaded our country. In the past three or four years, rice in Shandong, western Beijing, Huainan and other places was as valuable as gold and hard to come by. The local thieves, officers and soldiers, and even residents, fought against each other.
The dead are used to cook food. The number of people who kill and sell meat is like ox hair, and the price of human meat is lower than that of dogs and hogs. The fat and strong men only cost fifteen thousand yuan each, and their whole bodies are so thick that they become waxy. Old and thin men are called "old firemen", and women are called "old firemen".
The young man is named "Buxian Sheep", and his children call him "He Gulan", and he is also called "Two-legged Sheep"... I didn't expect that today in Chuzhou Prefecture, people would be forced to eat human flesh.
Zhao Li was holding the earthen pot and his whole body was shaking.
Fang Zichou came over to help the old horse up, and turned around and said to Zhao Li: "General, you don't have to be alarmed. In Chuzhou, the people are already living in misery in order to survive. Among the defenders, there are people who want to save a mouthful of food for their husbands.
After her husband went out to guard the city, he found a rope and strangled the child, and then hanged himself to death! General, these are recent things that happened in Chuzhou Mansion, and the people were all filled with resentment. But they
I also understand that you have done your best, General. General, you might as well ask the defenders on the top of the city how many relatives in their families have died for food!" After Fang Zichou said this, the soldiers on the top of the city began to start.
Sobbing...
Lao Ma said sadly: "General, the overall situation is the most important thing in everything. Chuzhou Mansion is now at the end of its rope. There are so many loyal soldiers buried under the city. They just want to protect the city from being destroyed by the golden dog.
Dead. If all the living people like us starve to death, how can we have the face to see them after the city is broken? In Chuzhou Mansion, the only living people left to eat are starved corpses. The General’s War
Be ruthless, save your life to have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"
Zhao Li was in the general's palace and had been concerned about the rivalry between the Jin and the Jin people. He was indeed not as clear about the people in the city as Fang Zichou and Lao Ma. When he learned that the people in the city were fighting against each other because they were saving a bite to eat.
, in addition to shock, it is also a kind of deep self-blame. The people in the city are living a more difficult life than the soldiers. Now they can only stick here and wait for the final decisive battle with the Jin people. Whether they live or die depends entirely on God's will.
.
Zhao Li was silent for a long time, looking at the soldiers who were crying after misfortune happened at home, he shouted: "Brothers, for the sake of those soldiers who died, for the sake of guarding Chuzhou Prefecture, for the sake of your dead family members... we have no choice but to survive."
The most important thing is to get down..."
From then on, the garrison soldiers would often eat shredded meat and sliced meat. No one would ask where the meat came from. They only knew that after eating it, they would have the strength to lift stones and stone the Jin people to death.
Save the Chuzhou Mansion. In this way, the Chuzhou Mansion survived for another three months by eating the flesh of the dead. In these three months, the court still had no information, and the people in the city were already going crazy seeing people dying of starvation.
He would rush up to eat raw meat with a knife, and Chuzhou Mansion became a hell on earth...
Zhao Li was no longer able to restrain the hungry people, so he called Kong Renyi and discussed with the quartermaster all night. Suddenly there was a bun shop in the city, and the guys in the bun shop were all soldiers without military uniforms.
They distribute hundreds of steamed buns to the people in the city every day, and they can only do their best with a meager salary. The population of Chuzhou Prefecture has dropped by half in the past three months, with only 17,000 left.
There are more than a thousand people...
In the night of Chuzhou Mansion, O Li raised his hands flat and closed his eyes tightly. He was suspended in the air. A seven-story jade pagoda carved from black ink jade was spinning rapidly above O Li's head. As the jade pagoda
The rotation of the jade tower suddenly blew up a stinking strong wind. The dead bodies of the Jin army outside Chuzhou Mansion were blown away by the strong wind. The stinky, maggot-infested carrion fell off piece by piece, and the bones cracked instantly and made slight sounds.
Souls outside the city and in the city were attracted by the jade pagoda above their heads, and gathered in front of the jade pagoda to form beads of green light the size of a thumb. All kinds of curses and screams of fear poured out like a tidal wave.
Xiang Yili...
O Li opened his eyes slightly, and made a big circle with both hands. O Li recited the curse of witchcraft and raising ghosts in his mouth, and a white light came out from the circle in his hand. The curse sound in the blue beads became louder and louder.
, the curses in the white light turned into miserable screams. Countless grievances were integrated into the Jade Pagoda. After all the grievances were absorbed into the Jade Pagoda, the blue beads became vaguely transparent and finally fell into the Jade Pagoda.
…
Wan Yanchang was looking forward to it outside the military camp. When he saw Yi Li returning, he couldn't wait to greet him and said: "Great wizard, how is the progress of collecting the resentful souls?"
O Li smiled softly and said: "Talan, everything is under control. I have already inspected the Chuzhou Mansion, and now the inner city is already filled with cannibalism and resentment. In ten days, when the time comes, you
And prepare a catapult for attacking the city. If you destroy the city and kill everyone in it, I will find a way to help you achieve your goal!"
Wan Yanchang looked at Oli suspiciously, and said with a smile: "Great wizard, you have let us spend so long here, and it will take another ten days to attack the city? We don't understand the secrets of time and earth you are talking about.
, how can I trust that you will definitely help me succeed?"
Oli took out a jade tower less than one foot from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Talan, this tower is the Tower of the Undead. There are thousands of undead in it that I collected from my expeditions in the north and south. Their resentment is enough to make the world pale.
There is no light from the sun and the moon. If I hold this tower, I can change your destiny against the will of heaven and make you the master of the world! Why else can you not believe it?" In fact, Ouli will not change Wan Yanchang's destiny against the sky.
, he just wanted to use Wan Yanchang's military power to accumulate the spirit of resentment for him. After ten days, the seven stars in the sky will change drastically and use the spirit of resentment to seize the position of Jin Taizong, and he will be able to dominate the world.
!
Wan Yanchang looked at the jade pagoda and laughed loudly: "How can such a small jade pagoda help me achieve something?"
Oli said contemptuously: "The power of the resentful demon in the tower is beyond your imagination. You will understand after ten days of breaking the city..."
The inner city of Chuzhou Prefecture has become very cold-blooded due to eating cannibals to satisfy their hunger. Zhao An led his soldiers to patrol the city. From time to time, he would see some people peeking out on the streets. The whole city was filled with a kind of wave.
As long as the haze and hunger persist, the people and soldiers will become numb. As long as there are wounded soldiers or those who are hungry and faint, sooner or later they will become the food of others...
Zhao Li had no idea what to do about it. If the city gate could be opened, he would rather rush out and fight with the Jin people to death than living like this every day, where humans are neither human nor ghosts.
"Ah..." A sharp scream cut through the dead night sky, and Zhao immediately led his soldiers to follow the sound. He could no longer run, and the soldiers on patrol at night were so hungry that they staggered. By the time Zhao
When Lihe soldiers got off the city, they saw a bamboo basket abandoned by the roadside. There were three or two water chestnuts and a sharp knife in the bamboo basket. There were pools of blood on the bare loess, and several people were holding their hands.
The knife in the knife was eating a middle-aged woman...
Zhao Li shouted: "You... what are you doing!"
An old woman in her fifties or sixties trembled and said: "Aunt Mao... starved to death while digging water chestnuts... We just... who knows she's not dead yet..." Zhao Li held up a torch and shined a light on the four or five elderly people.
The man was cutting his hands, grabbing the bloody meat and stuffing it into his mouth. The middle-aged woman on the ground was vomiting blood and foaming and was already dead. Her upper body was almost completely naked, and the bloody scars were shocking. If she hadn't seen her
With long hair, it’s really hard to tell whether the skinny body is male or female...
When the soldiers saw the middle-aged woman being devoured by the hungry people, she was so numb that she couldn't move. This kind of thing is so common among the people, and some people even kill the living people and eat their flesh. Zhao Li
I was at a loss and didn’t know what to say. One after another, people on the street joined the ranks of cannibals. It won’t be long before this unknown middle-aged woman will be eaten...
Zhao Li returned to the General's Mansion in a daze in the city. The death screams of the woman who had been eaten seemed to still be echoing in Zhao Li's ears. Zhao Li drafted a memorial to Emperor Gaozong at his desk, listing all four people in the Chujiang Mansion.
Since the month, it has been besieged by the army of Jin general Wan Yanchang. After more than half a year, the food and grass in the city have been exhausted. The people have been living a life of cannibalism. The army has reached the point where they use the flesh of fallen soldiers to fight against the Jin people.
The situation has reached such a point. I hope that God will be blessed and that Guangshi will send troops to assist Chuzhou Prefecture as soon as possible...
It's a pity that this memorial will never reach Zhao Gou's hands. Wan Yanchang completed the military integration outside the city and waited for the city to be broken in ten days...
