[69 Book Bar-www.] Jin Qianshi calmed down at this time and said, "The commander said yes. Damn, I've been so hungry these two days. In a few days, I'm afraid I can eat human flesh.
.”
When he said the word "human flesh", he suddenly licked his lips. I was startled and said, "General Jin, what are you going to do? Do you really want to eat human flesh?"
He smiled: "Tong Chu makes fun of it. I can't eat human flesh, so I can always eat snake flesh. People in the south usually like to eat snake flesh. They often say that the autumn wind blows, and the three snakes are fat. Now it's spring, and the snake is not too fat.
There is always meat.”
Then I remembered the snake man I caught, and my heart couldn't help but move. If I could treat the snake man as food, it would be a part of it. It's just that the snake man eats people for a living. When I think of the snake man, I remembered that it was there.
The broken limbs and heads seen in the snake man's belly were disgusting. I said, "Where have you put that snake man?"
Jin Qianshi said: "Locked in an empty tent. Commander, you are useless, right?"
Seeing that he was eager to try, he seemed to be going to do it at any time. I said, "It's not that time yet, maybe I can ask something else."
This was perfunctory. Jin Qianshi saw that I asked for a long time but couldn't ask anything. He didn't know. Even Zheng Zhao couldn't understand what the snake man was thinking with his mind reading skills. At best, he just starved him to death.
That's it. But I always feel that even snake-eating people are a bit like eating human flesh. I won't let them do it, just a little bit of inexplicable compassion.
He was also a little depressed. At this time, a cheer suddenly came from the city. He heard the sound from the east gate.
"What is that?"
I wanted to look up, but I couldn't see anything clearly. At this time, Yu Dai said, "I'll go up and take a look."
He took two steps at once and rushed to the arrow tower where the telescope was placed. Suddenly, he cheered: "It's the grain truck! The grain truck has arrived!"
Jin Qianshi also cheered and said, "How many are there?"
“It seems there are twenty.”
A large cart can accommodate seven or eight thousand kilograms of rice, and if it is twenty, it will be at least 150,000 kilograms of rice. Although it is still a drop in the bucket for the Imperial Army, by counting on the head, one person can only get more than one kilogram.
.As long as it is mixed into dry cakes, one person can only get seven or eight. But after all, it makes people inspire. But I know that it is definitely not food, and even this little hope is just an illusion.
.
Yue Guohua told me that Wuyang City could not transfer a grain of food. This was probably a plan set by Wuhou to not fall into the morale of the army. But doing so would be like drinking poison. Once the matter was exposed, the morale of the army would be out of control.
.
Just as I was thinking, I could hear the sound of thunder drums sounding outside the camp again: "Chu Xiuhong, the commander of the Dragon Scale Army, listen to the order."
I snatched out of the camp, and Lei Gu held the horse and said, "Master Chu, hurry up to the lord's tent to convene an emergency meeting."
I said to Jin Qianshi: "General Jin, you are responsible for this place. I will come after the meeting."
I jumped onto the horse and ran towards the central army. I didn't know what else Wuhou had to give orders.
As soon as I entered the central army, I got off my horse and someone took my horse away. I walked into the tent and knelt down and said, "Chu Xiuhong, the commander of the Dragon Scale Army, obeyed the order."
There were already many people in the tent, and the most eye-catching one was that Mr. Cang Yue was also sitting in the front. His position was the same as Lu Jingyu and the others. But Luo Jingwei did not come, and the one sitting in his position was Hu Shi'an, the middle army of the rear army.
After arriving at the age, Wuhou said: "Generals, there is a bad news to tell everyone. General Luo Jingwei, the chief general of the army, died in the early morning due to his serious injury."
Is Luo Jingwei dead? I was not shocked. I probably heard too much of this kind of news and was a little numb. I was still thinking that the three most senior generals of the rear army have been killed, which is more than the right army. There are more.
Wu Hou said: "General Luo's coffin is temporarily placed with General Chen, and then he will be buried in the imperial capital after the funeral is simple, and each army lowers half a flag to show his condolences."
That's also a satirical thing. Luo Jingwei was most dissatisfied with Chen Xiping during his lifetime. After his death, he actually put it together affectionately. If they had a spirit after their death, they might have been amused and crying...
Just as I was thinking, Wuhou suddenly said again: "The 200,000 kilograms of grain transferred from Wuyang City today have arrived, and we can train from today. I wonder which general is willing to open the way?"
That is what Marquis Wu really mean. Now, we have been forced to a dead end. If we continue to defend, we will surely die. Marquis Wu will also take a risk to retreat. But there is no food in the army, so he is not ordered to convey it alone at all levels. Why do you still lie on the spot?
I was thinking, when Mr. Cang Yue suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Wuhou, since Cang Yue joined forces with the army, don't refuse the responsibility of opening the way."
So that's it! Wu Hou held this meeting in order to make Cang Yuegong take on this responsibility. This is obviously a trap, to make Cang Yue fight with the snake man, but Cang Yue doesn't understand the intention and is hard Jump in?
Wu Hou said: "Donald Cangyue can achieve this merit, and a certain team of troops will return to the imperial capital. The safety of your subordinates is all due to the responsibility of the subordinates. Don't worry, Cangyue."
This is by no means an easy thing. Mr. Cang Yue volunteered to open the way, what is the purpose of? Why did Mr. Wu agree? Aren’t he afraid Mr. Cang Yue’s rebellion? Let him open the way, if Mr. Cang Yue’s turn around instead Attack us, what should I do?
Cang Yuegong just smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty has promised you more than a thousand pounds. I hope you will explain the difficulties of southern Xinjiang to the emperor after you return, lighten the labor service, and discontinue the conquest. More than 7 million people in southern Xinjiang should Praise all the virtues of the king and the marquis.”
I sighed softly. Mr. Cang Yue probably also hoped to use his last contribution to some benefit. However, the six words he said, "Light labor service and stop the conquest" were also deeply loved by me. Cang Yue rebelled, Most of the time the empire added too much corvee service in southern Xinjiang. In order to rebuild the Great Wall of the Northern Xinjiang, the emperor once sent 200,000 civilians and went thousands of miles north. As a result, the people were exhausted and their wealth was damaged. After the 200,000 civilians were completed, only 110,000 people returned to their hometowns. Nearly half of them are buried in a foreign land. Among them, there are tens of thousands of people from southern Xinjiang. Cang Yue Gong said this, and he is not an ordinary person. And what Cang Yue Gong said about "the southern Xinjiang is 700 people" is mostly It was the number counted before the war, and there were definitely not so many now. In the battle to defeat Gaojiu City alone, more than 700,000 people in the city died. When destroying other small cities, countless people died. Now, I think the population of the three southern provinces is only three to four million. The battles are two thousand miles away and millions of corpses are so powerful that it is, but if these millions of miles include themselves, that would be If you like killing like Chai, you will definitely not want to.
No matter what Cang Yue was thinking, such grand words were very popular. No wonder the banner of Cang Yue Gong was everywhere in the early stage of the rebellion in the Southern Xinjiang region, and there were very few cities that were loyal to the empire.
Wu Hou smiled at this time and said, "Donald Cangyue, the world is like chess, so let's talk about these things later. The troops are ready immediately and leave the city in the second half of the night. The central army will lead, and the latter army and the baggage camp will follow.
Then there are the Right Army, and the left army of General Lu cut off the rear."
The order of retreat this time is different from the last time. Wu Hou was ahead, so he was afraid that Cang Yue Gong would rebel. The central army was much stronger than Luo Jingwei's rear army. With the fire and thunder bombs equipped, even if they encountered it, they encountered it.
The Moon Lord of Cang really turned around and faced each other. The five thousand people were definitely not the opponent of the Central Army and would not be out of control. But this way there was no way out. Once the Central Army was attacked, where could he support him without a leader?
Yue Guohua stood up and said, "June, there are nearly 20,000 urban residents in the city. What should we do?"
Wu Hou said: "Open the east gate and let them find their own way of life, and they will all be in peace."
