On the other hand, people in Cheng'an County are also restless.
The Tsing Yi Army has grown so much in a short period of time that everyone is a mouthful, but they simply can’t get enough food to feed everyone, so they can only loot and clean up everywhere. However, the amount of food obtained by this method is limited. Many people are still hungry.
There are people in the Tsing Yi Army, but no one can manage such a big "family business".
To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of bandits with no discipline and no moral restraint.
Even though their momentum was bigger than the Red Lotus Sect at the beginning, but after a winter of anxiety, the Tsing Yi Army became less and less powerful. On the contrary, the Red Lotus Sect was in full swing, and its territory expanded step by step, further reducing the living space of the Tsing Yi Army.
Today, Cheng'an County is in a state of depression, the people are locked out of their homes, and there are few people on the streets.
No one dared to reveal the food. The merchants who were able to escape had already fled, and those who could not escape were all looted by the Tsing Yi army. Half a lifetime of savings was forcibly taken away. Those who were lucky could still save a life. The direct corpse was on the spot.
Today, the people are full of complaints and secretly ridiculed that the Tsing Yi Army should be renamed the Bandit Army.
Last autumn, due to the earthquake in Beijing, there was very little grain production, and there were Tsing Yi troops everywhere. This made the farmers in Cheng'an County have a year's harvest in vain. .
Many people could not endure the starvation and the tyranny of the Tsing Yi Army, for fear of losing their lives, those who could escape escaped.
The old, the weak and the sick, who could not escape, survived day after day on the carefully stored food.
Even some people are afraid that the smoke from cooking rice will greet the Tsing Yi Army, so they only dare to soak the rice in water and eat it.
In the winter of last year, countless people froze to death, but now people in Cheng'an County starve to death every day.
The county seat has been occupied by the Tsing Yi Army, and as one of their base camps, it still maintains its magnificent decoration.
The people outside were not warm enough to wear, hungry, and starved to death. These leaders of the Tsing Yi Army ate fragrant and spicy food, and ate meat and drank heavily.
However, now they are not in the mood to enjoy such an extravagant life, because the food in Cheng'an County is not enough.
Continue to lack food, not only will the people below starve, but they will also endure the taste of hunger.
"Mummy, didn't you say that there is a batch of grain and grass? Calculate the time, even if you are climbing, you should crawl over, why hasn't it arrived yet?"
After half a year, many sturdy leaders have raised a body of fat, and now this one is no exception. His ten fingers are full of fat, and his knuckles are round and round. He looks like a fat and short sausage. Raised a bit white.
"Could it be that something went wrong on the road?" The Tsing Yi army in the county government is at the lowest level, and their faces are flushed red, and by looking at their faces, they can tell that the past days are very nourishing, "After all, the evil spirits of the Red Lotus Sect are very evil. Evil sect…”
The fat general sitting at the top pondered for a while, and said, "Well, send someone out to check..."
This batch of food and grass is extremely important to the Tsing Yi Army in Cheng'an County. If there is not enough food, I don't know what will happen to the Tsing Yi Army underneath. Even they can't suppress it. Thinking of this, the fat general frowned fiercely. .
The little boss took the lead, and another thief-eyed little boss took the opportunity to propose.
"General, don't everyone say that Xiangyang County next door is very rich? If there is really no food, let's beat them and occupy that land. We are afraid that there will not be enough food?" said the little leader. As he spoke, what the spy said came to his mind.
According to the spies' description, that Xiangyang County is a place comparable to heaven. It is clean, neat and tidy. The houses are all new and beautiful, not like the world, but more like falling from the sky. Like a nobleman, no one starved to death and froze to death...
At that time, the little boss scoffed at this remark, where in the world is there such a good place
But now, Cheng'an County is facing the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food, and the promised good food has not arrived yet, which makes people anxious.
I thought that this proposal would get a compliment, and if it didn't work, it would always divert the general's attention.
"If this place in Xiangyang County is easy to eat, I have already gone to eat it, and I still need you to put an aftermath here?"
The general said angrily, the fat on his face trembled, and his eyes were almost squeezed out by the flesh.
Not long after, a messenger suddenly came hurriedly from outside, knelt on the ground and panted, "No—it's bad—"
"What's wrong?" The general's heart tightened.
The messenger took a deep breath, and said with a heavy breath, "The food and grass have been robbed—"
what!
The big and small leaders in the hall were horrified, and the general stood up directly, grabbed the messenger's collar with one hand, lifted him up, and said angrily, "Again, what was robbed? Which is it? Calves dare to rob Lao Tzu's food?"
The messenger said with difficulty, "It's the staff who transported the grain... They fled back and said that someone was in an ambush, but they didn't see who the enemy was..."
The general's face was ashen, and the fat on his face shivered from heavy breathing.
"Too deceitful!" He threw the messenger out, "Those idiots who transported grain didn't even see who the enemy was..."
The general was about to say that he would slaughter the grain-carrying man so that he would not waste food with more mouths, when the words just reached his throat when another sound came from outside.
"Report-"
The general took a deep breath and asked, "What happened?"
"There are thousands of troops besieging the city outside the city!"
What
Everyone's faces were so blue that they couldn't look at them.
The food was robbed, and the enemy turned around and attacked the door.
"Are those demons from the Red Lotus Sect again?"
The messenger said, "No, the banner on it says 'Liu', and the battle has already begun."
willow
Which is this
Jiang Pengji said that she didn't want to make an array, everyone had already arrived at the gate of the city, so wouldn't it be better to start a fight
"What if they don't come out?" Jiang Pengji turned her head and asked Wei Ci, "Don't you think this is childish?"
Before starting the fight, you have to fight with the other party. If you curse mother, I will curse father, like a child playing at home.
Wei Ci said with a cold face, "It's about morale, so please don't joke."
Jiang Pengji snorted, and after being honest for a while, she made things difficult for Wei Ci again, and asked with a smile, "However, some soldiers can only speak local dialect, not Mandarin, and can't understand other local dialects. It doesn't work, isn't the chicken talking with the duck?"
Wei Ci: "..."
The logistics has been appeased, and Xu Ke, who has all the siege equipment in place, came on horseback. Hearing this tricky question, he almost fell off his horse... This question cannot embarrass Wei Zixiao, even if he throws it out and asks Mr. Yuanjing, I am afraid the elderly Can't answer either.
Jiang Pengji said to herself again, "Don't tell me that the two sides need to communicate well in advance, and each send a translator who is proficient in dialect?"
After she finished speaking, Wei Ci looked at her faintly, her eyes quite resentful.
