Chapter 323 A life in the box is about to be ruined
After taking care of his son's case, Chai Zhuo ordered troops to attack the city. After the vanguard marched to the east gate, spies came to report: "The enemy's formation is extremely strange. The people are unarmored and are lined up in front with weapons in their hands. The soldiers are holding
Armed with bows, arrows and spears, they were behind to supervise the battle. Above the city gate, soldiers escorted women, children and the elderly, and messengers ran around the city giving orders. If the people could not win or surrendered to the enemy in front of the battle, their relatives would be beheaded on the spot.
It turned out that the guard of the city was Liu Yu's son Liu Zeng. When he heard that Chai Zhuo's army was coming, he thought that there was not much food and grass in the city, only enough for two months, and wanted to abandon the city and flee. His subordinates offered advice: "This city is a great place to be."
If you lose, your father will be angry and attack you. The lack of food can drive the people out of the city to fight. If the people die and only the soldiers are left, the food can last for a year. Chai Zhuo regards himself as benevolent and righteous, and under the banner of condoning the people's crimes, if he can't bear it,
If you kill the people, my city can be protected; if you kill the people brutally, you can save food for me, and the city can be defended against future changes."
Liu Zeng heard this and thought it was reasonable, so he played the opening scene. Chai Zhuo also guessed his intention. The responsibility of the general was to protect the country and the people. With such law-abiding, as long as the fierce attack lasted for more than ten days, something would happen in the city.
But the casualties among the people were bound to be heavy. Before the uprising, Chai Zhuo was a businessman, not a decisive general, so he could not bear to be so cruel. So, he ordered one third of his troops to besiege the city, and the large army bypassed the city defenses and continued to advance.
More than ten days later, a military report came that Jijiao City had been destroyed. After seven or eight days of continuous attack, the defenders massacred their relatives on the pretext of the people's inability to defend the city. Most of the people in the city died. The people couldn't bear it and rebelled.
The city gate was opened. General Li Youyong was furious. On the day the city was breached, he ordered not a single soldier to surrender, but killed them all. He cut off the heads of more than 5,000 soldiers and built a Jingguan outside the city. After capturing Liu Zeng, he paraded him through the streets and
He was cut into pieces by a thousand swords in Cao City to avenge the dead people.
"Beijing View"
War begins, flesh and blood fly,
The river is vermilion and the soil is red.
One general's success will cause thousands of bones to wither,
The battlefield was originally a Shura field.
Five thousand brave animals make up the capital,
Ten thousand eyes look to the sky.
One family prospers and all others wither,
One person is the emperor and thousands of people are attracted by it.
"What is Jingguan?" A guest asked curiously: "Is it a kind of beautiful white scenery?"
Maybe his Mandarin is not accurate. Jin Huabin described it in detail: "Jingguan means that when there was a war in ancient times, the victorious side built a high platform with thousands of enemy corpses to show off their martial arts to the world."
After saying that, he mixed the mashed potatoes on the table with the fried cicadas and piled them into a trapezoidal platform, saying, "Just like this, build up one layer after another."
The guests were dumbfounded. With such an analogy, this dish can still be eaten? Jin Huabin was so excited about it that he didn't notice it and continued to show off: "Jingguan: Jing, Gao Qiu; Guan, Que type. The ancients killed
Thieves who are victorious in battle must build a Jingguan as a place to hide the corpse. Qin Bai built a Jingguan to demonstrate to the princes when he killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in a pit. The emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty also built a Jingguan many times to slay the Yellow Turban Army.
common people.”
The other guests listened with great interest, but this guest shouted: "Today I am abstaining from meat. Give me something simple and have a side of Xianju's toppings."
The topping noodles are simple to make, but they taste very good and have local characteristics. Jin Huabin knew that it was the reaction caused by the story, so he smiled and asked the chef to make it.
Not long after, a fragrant plate of noodles with toppings was served. The guests tasted it, praised the taste, and asked how to make it. Jin Huabin wrote lyrics to explain the method.
"One Cut Plum, Xianju Topping Noodles"
Shredded bamboo shoots, shredded pork, egg shreds, dried tofu soaked in oil, and day lily stir-fried.
Bring water to simmer and then turn on the pot. The aroma will linger and the toppings are ready.
Xianju rice noodles are thin and white, seasoned with salt and wine, boiled in water.
The elegant and delicate soup is clear, green is chopped green onion, and red is green pepper.
Smelling the aroma, the guests at the table were very interested and ordered large portions of noodles with toppings as their staple food. While eating and toasting, Jin Huabin continued the Chai family's story: "The rebel army conquered several cities, and Liu Yu was heartbroken.
, I don’t know what to do. At this moment, Chai Zhuo received a tip that Zhao Song also sent generals Han Zhong and Yue Ying to lead troops to attack the puppet Qi."
The situation became complicated. Zhao and Song attacked the puppet Qi, fearing that the Jin Dynasty would send troops, and if they did not attack, they were also worried that Chai's trouble would happen, so they kept watching the fire from the other side. Seeing that Chai Zhuo's attack on the city and the territory did not cause the Jin Dynasty to send troops, North Korea and China took the lead in the battle.
The faction gradually gained the upper hand.
Chai Zhuo summoned Wang Zhilue and Li Youyong to discuss the matter: "Now, Zhao and Song are also sending troops to attack the puppet Qi, but they attack Qi clearly, but in fact they attack our army. Most of their officers are encouraged by the other side, saying that we are all subjects of the Song Dynasty. Of course,
Those who were loyal to the Song Dynasty and were willing to abandon the Zhou Dynasty and join the Song Dynasty would be promoted to one level as an official and receive a reward of ten taels of silver as a soldier. Most of the sergeants had relatives in the Southern Song Dynasty. Now, although there is no large-scale defection to the Song Dynasty, it is more difficult to recruit soldiers.
, but it is an indisputable fact. Sooner or later, the armies of Zhou and Song will have a battle. Do you have any good plans?"
"Fuck his grandma's bear, let's catch him off guard, kill his soldiers and build a watchtower to see if the Zhao family's children dare to confront me?" Li Youyong slapped the table and said, "I'll set up an ambush right now."
"Brothers, don't panic. Song and Zhou Dynasties are all among us. To decide the outcome, we have to drive out the barbarians. At present, both sides will benefit from cooperation. If we fight together, we will harm the great cause." Wang Zhilue pointed at the map and said: "Why?
The current plan is to stabilize the financial and taxation areas in the south, hand over the local powerful, and make way for hundreds of thousands of Zhao and Song soldiers to go to the west to fight to the death with Liu Yu and the Jin soldiers."
In the barracks of the Song Army, Han Zhong met with Yue Ying and decided on the strategy of advancing the army: "The reason why the Chai family succeeded was to win the hearts of the unknown people with children's songs. At present, our public enemies are Liu Yu and Jin. The north is newly occupied, and the hearts of the people are in trouble."
'Song, you can break it with children's songs."
At that time, Buddhism was becoming more and more influential in the south, and Chai Rong died for destroying Buddhism. After discussion, a song came from the Song camp.
"Cause and Effect"
Results in this life, causes in previous lives,
Zhou destroyed the Buddha and his luck was exhausted.
There are no two days in the sky and one king in the country.
The names of kings, kings and ministers are determined.
Loyalty, filial piety, loyalty and righteousness are passed down through the ages,
Those who rebelled against the Song Dynasty were punished by sawing in hell.
Yingtianyuan peony announces good news,
Ziweixing prospered due to luck in the Song Dynasty.
Legend has it that when Zhao Kuangyin was born, the peonies in Luoyang Yingtian Temple bloomed more than 20 days in advance, and the fragrance spread for miles, which made people marvel. When his mother Du Shi was pregnant with him, she once dreamed that the sun entered her arms, and when he was born, his afterbirth clothes were like
Hanlian exudes a golden fragrance. Sometimes strangers say that he is the reincarnation of the Ziwei star. Generals Han and Yue compiled this rumor into children's songs. People who believe in Buddhism even used the topic to prove that Zhao Song's accession to the throne was destiny.
.
After this song spread, the people in the north believed from the bottom of their hearts that the Zhao family was obeying the destiny of the Chai family. Moreover, after replacing the Chai family, they also named the descendants of the Chai family as Chongyi Gong, unlike the previous dynasty who abdicated the emperor's concubine.
He is a benevolent and righteous ruler who drives out people and kills them all. In the propaganda war between Zhou and Song Dynasties, Chai's Zhou camp lost one round to Zhao's Song camp.
