504: Attack on Fengyi County (12)

On the other hand, people in Cheng'an County are also restless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Tsing Yi Army has grown too much in a short period of time, and everyone is a mouth, but they can't take out enough food to feed everyone, so they can only loot and sweep everywhere, but the amount of food obtained by this means is limited, and many people are still hungry.

There are people in the Tsing Yi Army, but no one can take care of such a big "family business", and they can't operate it at all.

To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of bandits with no discipline and no moral constraints.

Even if their momentum was greater than that of the Red Lotus Sect at the beginning, but after a winter's anxiety, the power of the Tsing Yi Army became smaller and smaller, but 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 depression, the people are closed, and there are few pedestrians on the streets.

No one dared to expose the grain, those who could escape had already fled, those who couldn't escape were all looted by the Tsing Yi Army, half of their life's savings were forcibly taken away, those who were lucky could still have a life, and those who were unlucky were directly killed on the spot.

Now, the people are complaining, secretly mocking that the Tsing Yi Army should be renamed the Bandit Army.

Last autumn, because of the turmoil in Beijing, there was very little grain production, and the Tsing Yi army was making trouble everywhere, which made the harvest of the peasant households in Cheng'an County a year go to waste, and after the beginning of spring, there was no good seed to sow seeds, and the grain reserves at home were exploited and robbed by the Tsing Yi army.

Many people couldn't stand the hunger and the tyranny of the Tsing Yi Army, for fear of losing their lives, and those who could escape fled.

The old and infirm, who could not escape, remained and survived day after day with the food carefully stored.

Some people are even afraid that the smoke of cooking rice will usher in the Tsing Yi army, so they only dare to soak the rice in water and then eat it.

In the winter of last year, countless people froze to death, and now people in Cheng'an County are starving 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 a palatial decoration.

The people outside were not warmly clothed, could not eat, and died of freezing and starvation, while these Tsing Yi army leaders ate fragrant and spicy food, ate meat and drank alcohol.

However, now they are not in the mood to enjoy such a luxurious life, because there is not enough food in Cheng'an County.

If the lack of food continues, not only will the people below starve, but they will also endure the taste of hunger.

"Damn, didn't you say that there is a batch of grain and grass? Calculate the time, even if you climb, you should climb over, why hasn't it arrived yet?"

In the past six months, many strong leaders have raised a body of fat, and now this one is no exception, ten fingers are full of fat, knuckles circle after circle, looking like fat sausages, and the original bronzed skin has also grown a little white.

"Could it be that there is something wrong on the road?" The Tsing Yi Army in the county government is at the lowest level of small leaders, their faces are flushed one by one, and they know that the past days are very moist by looking at their faces, "After all, those demons of the Red Lotus Sect are very evil......

The fat general sitting at the top groaned for a long time and said, "In this way, send someone out to check......

This batch of grain 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 the Tsing Yi Army below will become, and even they will not be able to suppress it when the time comes, thinking of this, the fat general frowned viciously.

The little boss took the order, and another thief-eyed little boss took the opportunity to propose.

"General, don't the big guys say that Xiangyang County next door is so rich that it is very rich? If there is really no food, let's go and fight them, and if we occupy that land, we are afraid that there will not be enough food?" When the little leader said this, what the spies said came to his mind.

According to the spy's description, that Xiangyang County is a place comparable to the heavenly court, clean and tidy, the houses are all new, so beautiful that it does not look like the world, but more like it fell from the sky, everyone is dressed like nobles, and no one starves to death......

At that time, the little boss scoffed at this, 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 grain has not arrived for a long time, which makes people anxious.

I thought that this proposal would be praised, but no matter how bad it was, it would always divert the general's attention, but I didn't know that I was scolded.

"If this place in Xiangyang County is easy to gnaw, Lao Tzu will already go to gnaw, and you still need to put an afterthought here?"

The general said angrily, the fat that fell on his face trembled, and a pair of eyes were almost squeezed out by the flesh.

After a while, a messenger came from outside, kneeling on the ground and panting, and said, "No—no—no—"

"What's wrong?" the general's heart tightened.

The messenger took a breath and said heavily, "The grain and grass have been robbed—"

What the!

The big and small leaders in the hall were shocked in their hearts, and the general got up directly, grabbed the messenger's collar with one hand, lifted him up, and said angrily, "Say it again, what has been robbed? Which deflated calf dares to rob Lao Tzu's grain?"

The messenger said with difficulty, "It's the guy who transports grain...... They fled back, saying that there was an ambush and that they did not see who the enemy was......"

The general's face was pale, and the fat on his face trembled from heavy breathing.

"It's too much of a deception!" casually threw the messenger out, "those wretches who carry grain don't even see who the enemy is......

The general was about to say that he had slaughtered the grain transporter, so as not to waste food with a few more mouths, when the words reached his throat when another sound came from outside.

"Newspaper—"

The general took a deep breath and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There are thousands of troops besieging the city outside the city!"

What the?

The faces of the people were already so blue that they couldn't look at them.

The grain was robbed, and the enemy hit the door when he turned his head, and it was simply a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the luck was not good.

"Those demons of the Red Lotus Sect again?"

The messenger said, "No, the banner on it says 'Liu', and it has already begun to call for battle." ”

Willow?

Which one is this?

Jiang Pengji said that she didn't want to make a formation, everyone had already arrived at the gate of the city, wouldn't it be good to start fighting directly?

"What if they don't come out?" Jiang Pengji turned her head and asked Wei Ci, "Don't you think this is very naïve?"

Before the fight, you have to have a war of words with the other party, you come to scold my mother, I will curse my father, like a child playing at home.

Wei Ci had a cold face and said, "It's a matter of morale, don't laugh at the lord." ”

Jiang Pengji sighed, and after being honest for a while, she made it difficult for Wei Ci again, and asked with a smile, "However, some soldiers can only speak local dialect, not official dialect, and can't understand other local dialects. If the people on both sides don't understand the language, wouldn't it be a chicken talking to a duck?"

Wei Ci: "......"

Xu Ke, who had already pacified the logistics and made all the siege equipment in place, came on horseback, and when he heard this tricky question, he almost fell off his horse...... This question can't be embarrassed by Wei Zixiao, even if he throws it out and asks Mr. Yuanjing, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to answer it.

Jiang Pengji muttered to herself again, "Do you have to communicate well with each other in advance and send a translator who is proficient in dialects?"

After she finished speaking, Wei Ci looked at her faintly, his eyes were quite resentful.
