Chapter 532: Heartbreaking

When he realized that Sun Xiaozhe would use human flesh as military food, Qin Jin shuddered, if this was the case, he was afraid that his army would not be out of food in a short time, but it was the people of Guanzhong who suffered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In the end, he and Guo Ziyi could only feel angry, with their existing strength, they couldn't do much except defend Chang'an.

For a while, Qin Jin and Guo Ziyi didn't speak, only looked at the white snowfield outside the city with a faint morning light.

"After a while, the traitors will make trouble and attack the city, and the doctor will still go to rest for a while, and there will be no end to the general. ”

Qin Jin was pretending to have something in his heart, and he also knew that he didn't have much help on the city wall, so he answered and hurried down the city with people.

Leaving the far gate, Qin Jin did not return to the Chinese army to rest, but ran straight to the Taiji Palace, and the exact information and shocking speculation obtained that night, he felt the need to report to Li Heng in person. If someone with a heart seizes the opportunity to make a fuss, it will always be a big trouble.

The former burned 5 million stone of military rations in Tongguancang, although the rebels broke the idea of using this as military rations, but after all, they burned half of the grain savings in Guanzhong, and they were hiding from the Son of Heaven to cut first and then play, no matter how critical the situation was, someone had to stand up and take this responsibility.

If it is Wei Fangjin or Yang Guozhong or the like, they will inevitably blame it cleanly, and the person who set the fire will bear the black pot. And Qin Jin doesn't plan to let Du Fu or Yang Xingben carry this black pot for him, all the responsibilities are taken in one, anyway, I don't know a bad thing from his hands, it is that there are too many lice and I don't want to bite, and I am not afraid of worrying if I have too many debts.

Another trouble, that is, Sun Xiaozhe's speculation that he will feed on human flesh, once it is confirmed to be true, with the personalities of Li Mi and Chen Xilie, they will never let go of this opportunity to tie this matter with Qin Jin, and then splash dirty water.

In order to avoid these unnecessary troubles, Qin Jin could only explain the situation to Li Heng in person, with Li Heng's support, Li Mi, or Chen Xilie, there was nothing he could do.

During the siege of the rebels for more than two months, Li Heng has always spared no effort to support Qin Jin, and Qin Jin has also experienced for the first time what it is like to say the same thing in the world's largest city, which is of course inseparable from Li Heng's endorsement for him in the back.

When Li Heng heard the news that Sun Xiaozhe's army was about to run out of food, he danced excitedly, like a child, but at the same time as he learned that Sun Xiaozhe was running out of food, Feng Yijun's five million stone grain was burned, and the whole person froze, and he couldn't react for a while.

After a long time, he let out a heavy sigh.

"The grain in Baishui and the official warehouse is half of the accumulated in Guanzhong, and now it is burned, and the spring of the next year will not be received, how can the people eat?"

The scene of hungry mayflies everywhere seemed to have flashed in front of Li Heng's eyes, and his face was full of fear, which was in stark contrast to the excitement just now.

Seeing Li Heng's reaction like this, Qin Jin was actually a little unbearable, and what he was going to say next was even more cruel. Cruel.

"Your Majesty, last night the traitors suddenly attacked the city and dug up a lot of frozen corpses piled up outside the city. ”

Sure enough, Li Heng's eyes immediately widened, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from Qin Jin's mouth.

"Perhaps, the traitors can't bear to expose their comrades to the wilderness, and they are buried well, but it is not known......"

If it was Guo Ziyi sitting opposite Qin Jin, he would not hesitate to dispel the other party's thoughts, but if it was the current person sitting opposite him, he only smiled bitterly and let Li Heng understand it himself.

Li Heng said with great difficulty, even he did not believe these words, for two months he had not seen the rebels collect the bodies of his comrades, how could he collect the bodies of his comrades when he was about to run out of food? There was no better explanation for the corpses collected than for military rations.

"The problem is not only in the frozen corpses of the rebels, but also in the inference of the ministers, Sun Xiaozhe will soon point the finger at the people of Guanzhong!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Heng was even more like an electric shock. After all, the rebels are all disdainful rebels and rebels, and they are also to blame for the fate of being eaten by their comrades after death. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he watched his people being slaughtered by thieves and fed on them, but he could not stop them, and the pain in this can be imagined.

In the palace, the monarchs and ministers were speechless, and the air seemed to be frozen.

Of course, Qin Jin could feel Li Heng's silent complaints, but Li Heng was a person who had been the prince for more than ten years and was suppressed all the time. He can tell which is more important.

"Qin Qing can have a good plan to relieve my people from being slaughtered?"

Qin Jin was silent, Li Heng's emotions were a little excited, and he asked:

As the Son of Heaven and unable to shelter the people, what face do I have to see my ancestors and ancestors?"

Qin Jin didn't believe that Li Heng would meet them underground one day, but this black cauldron obviously didn't need Li Heng to carry it, and it was his father Li Longji who made a brilliant and prosperous era like this, and if he wanted to pull someone out to be responsible, it could only be the old and unbearable Li Longji.

However, how could Qin Jin say this kind of thing, he was still silent.

After the excitement, Li Heng's mood calmed down a lot.

"I just lost my temper, Qin Jin don't worry!"

Qin Jin gave a deep salute and said calmly:

"The saint shoulders the world, when the community is the most important, the rebels are about to be destroyed, the situation in Guanzhong can be determined in a blink of an eye, and at this time, we should look outside the Guan. ”

This remark has been very obvious, that is, after this battle, the comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of the Tang Dynasty and the rebels will be reversed from now on, and he Li Heng is very likely to become the king of the chaos and will be famous for eternity.

Hearing this, a trace of excitement flashed in Li Heng's eyes, but it still couldn't replace the look of fear on his face, Sun Xiaozhe's inference that he would feed on human flesh gave him too much stimulation.

……

In the rebel camp, a large cauldron was propped up in the camp, and the boiling water in it was churning, steaming hot, and the flesh with skin and flesh could be faintly seen between the splashes, and the aroma of meat wafted throughout the camp with the wind.

Standing in front of these cauldrons, instead of salivating, Sun Xiaozhe felt disgusting, but in front of the soldiers, in order to make a statement, he had to forcibly hold back. After a while, he will drink the soup in that pot and eat the meat in that pot.

"Where is Zhang Tongru?"

"The last general!"

"Go taste it, is the meat cooked through!"

"Handsome ......"

Zhang Tongru snorted in resistance, but Sun Xiaozhe's eyes lit up, and he swallowed back the second half of his words in fright.

Speaking of which, he was unlucky enough, Sun Xiaozhe returned to the military camp outside Chang'an first, Zhang Tongru slowly returned with the army, and the 100,000 stone and a half coke of grain dug out of the ruins of Baishui Tongguancang followed last. Unexpectedly, after passing through Tongzhou, they were attacked by an unknown Tang army, and the 100,000 stone of grain was burned with a fire.

After returning to the besieged camp outside Chang'an, the whole army was completely facing the crisis of cutting off cooking.

After three days of consumption, the food was completely exhausted, and Sun Xiaozhe ordered people to loot everything that could be eaten inside and outside the camp, but it was inevitable that he would run out of food.

Out of consideration for employing people, Sun Xiaozhe once again spared Zhang Tongru's capital crime and let him make meritorious contributions.

Now it's just a taste of whether the meat in the pot is cooked or not, and it's not going up to the knife mountain and getting off the oil pot, what is there to be afraid of? Zhang Tongru gritted his teeth, walked to the cauldron step by step, and picked up a piece of bone-covered meat in the pot with a short sword, and his nose was immediately filled with the aroma of meat.

However, Zhang Tongru's reaction at this moment was only a burst of gagging, he forcibly bit and tore off a large piece, chewed it in his mouth for a long time, and swallowed it hard...... The meat is already cooked!

"Dashuai, it's cooked!"

When Sun Xiaozhe heard this, he also walked to the pot, picked up a piece of meat in the pot with a short sword, chewed a few bites, and praised the excellent taste, and then waved his hand again.

"Distribute the meat to the battalions, and have enough to eat!"

At this time, the onlookers were no less than 10,000 soldiers, and when they saw Sun Xiaozhe and Zhang Tongru eating the meat one after another, they all recognized it.

A meal of meat relieved the urgent need for food shortage in the army, but Sun Xiaozhe soon began to worry about the fate of the next meal.

"Marshal, this meat is enough for the army to eat for five days, let's go to the city to planing more......"

Syllable!

A resounding slap greeted Zhang Tongru on the left side of his face, and he immediately felt a hot pain on his face, covering his face and not daring to speak again.

"Idiot! That one in the pot, a few days ago, was still the robe of the soldiers, alive! How many days can you eat? Is it possible, you also want to turn into meat in the pot? If this goes on like this, how can the army's morale be stable?"

Zhang Tongru felt a little aggrieved, having said that, it was much better than starving to death. Suddenly, he felt a flash of inspiration in front of him.

"It's better to capture the people near Guanzhong...... In this way, the officers and men in the army will have no burden, and they can rest assured that they will be bold......"

With a gloomy face, after thinking for a long time, Sun Xiaozhe spoke again:

"Finally said a human word, why don't you bring someone to arrest it right away?"

The idea was approved, Zhang Tongru was amnesty, hurriedly agreed to leave, took his heart and abdomen out of the gate, and went west.

For three consecutive days, the rebels' offensive on Chang'an City became fierce day by day, and the defenders suffered unprecedented heavy casualties.

The lack of food did not cause the rebels to collapse or gradually decline in combat effectiveness, but also burst out with a fierce and ruthless spirit that had never been seen before.

Qin Jin and Guo Ziyi both scratched their heads, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"The time for food shortages is still short, wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turnaround"

Qin Jin did not believe that feeding on human flesh could last for more than a month, and the people in Guanzhong were not grass and trees in the soil, and the rebels' evil acts of cannibalism would soon spread, and they would definitely flee in a few days. At that time, look what Sun Xiaozhe is still eating!

"The rumors have been worse than one day in the past few days, which is staggering, have you ever heard the doctor?"

Cui Guangyuan came to look for Qin Jin, and for several days, he had been shocked by the rumors and couldn't sleep.
