"My lord, can this thing really be eaten?" Fu Zhiyuan looked at the brick-like thing dug out of the ground in surprise, and asked Qiyue suspiciously. ⊙﹏⊙‖∣

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Early one morning after besieging the city for half a month, July took everyone to the front of the merit monument built for Emperor Wenxuan with shovels and heads.

To tell the truth, everyone has been unhappy with this merit monument for a long time, and after the order to "dig" was issued in July, everyone immediately scolded the street side and smashed the merit monument. Everyone thought that today's revenge was over, but Taishou actually asked everyone to continue digging down, until they reached a large bluestone slab and opened it, and inside were some gray-brown bricks that were wrapped in oiled paper and neatly stacked, and were as hard as hard stones.

Just when everyone was wondering if this was a god horse, July solved everyone's confusion, this is actually food.

Everyone's →_→: I don't read much, don't lie to me!

Only Fu Zhiyuan knew that this was indeed food, to be exact, this thing used to be food, at least they were food three years ago.

In July of that year, he was ordered to burn the grain depot, and all the transferred grain was replaced with glutinous rice, and then he was given a recipe to boil glutinous rice, walnut kernels and red dates together, and after boiling it, it was pressed into bricks, and placed in the sun to be thoroughly exposed to the sun and dried, so it became like this. But Fu Zhiyuan has a question, these things have been buried below for three years, although he doesn't know the knowledge of shelf life or anything, but can the glutinous rice bricks that have been put for three years really be edible?

July raised an eyebrow. There was no answer. In fact, he didn't know if he could eat it or not, this method was still seen from ancient books before, and it was just for fun at that time. I didn't try it myself, but I didn't expect it to be used one day, so I ordered someone to bring a big pot and plan to boil it and try it.

July's calmness made everyone feel that their too deep (is) not (crazy) to measure, so they took a big pot and boiled it on the street.

There was no shortage of onlookers, and the inner and outer three floors watched Lord Taishou cook "bricks" for everyone to eat.

(─.─|||Yes. Everyone thought this was a brick.

Everyone muttered silently: Is our city going to run out of food now, see what Lord Taishou is forced to become??

However, Lord Taishou may be in the same profession as Liu Qian. And so on the streets, the moment of witnessing the miracle appeared.

(⊙0⊙) The brick actually melted.

(⊙0⊙) It's delicious

(Raise your hand: Your Excellency, can you make a ring out of an egg?)

July →_→: Yes, but I need Dong Qing's cooperation)

The people in the city drank rice cakes, red dates and walnut soup beautifully. The 200,000 people outside the city, oh no. The reality is that 130,000 hungry people can only gnaw on the grassroots.

In fact, besieging the city is really a good idea, but the premise of this idea is that you have to bring enough food, and Emperor Wen Xuan sadly found out at this time that his food is actually gone.

Emperor Wen Xuan and Zhao Wu looked at each other, how embarrassing it was, the food in the city was so good, and their group of besieging people were hungry and about to hit the streets.

In fact, the lack of food has not happened for a day or two, but based on Emperor Wen Xuan's mad dog-like temper. The generals chose to remain silent and then find a way to solve it themselves. At first, they planned to go to the three surrounding cities to grab some food. But they seem to have forgotten that the grain in these cities had already been robbed by July! And even if they didn't, they were all taken away when the three Taishou surrendered. (The Taishou said that we would not cause trouble to the organization, and that we would bring our own dry rations to surrender ψ ( ̄) ̄) ψ( ̄) ̄)ψψ( ̄) ̄) ψ.) ）

There was nothing to eat, so the soldiers could only find some bark and grass roots to eat, but the army of 130,000 had almost only a day or two, and the neighborhood had already been left with no grass in the vicinity.

The soldiers standing guard in the city every day couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene, the people besieging the city are so pitiful!~~ We are improving our lives today, and we are eating braised pork~~~~~ (who is surrounding whom??)

Not having food is a very terrible thing, almost in a few days, the number of deserters began to increase dramatically, and by the time Emperor Wenxuan knew, the 130,000 people of the Liang army had fled nearly 50,000, and only more than 80,000 people remained.

Emperor Wen Xuan was angry, damn, Lao Tzu brought 200,000 yuan out, and I didn't do anything, so I'll reduce my staff by more than half now. For the "knowledge of the following generals and not reporting", Emperor Wen Xuan vented his anger and slashed a few more.

But now Emperor Wenxuan has no choice, fight it, it turns out that he wants to besiege the city because he can't beat it, and now his own people are hungry and are about to become walking corpses, even if he is brain-dead, he can know that it is unlikely to be useful to let such a hungry dying soldier crawl over.

But if you don't fight, just withdraw like this, he is very unwilling.

What should he do if he doesn't have food? If he wants to transfer food here for a while, he won't be able to get it for a while, although he doesn't care too much about whether his soldiers die or not, but if they all die, then who will help him fight!

In addition to the horses, Emperor Wen Xuan set his sights on the thousands of women he had snatched.

The problem of food has been solved, but there is another problem, since the road of besieging the city and starving the people in the city to death is not feasible, then how to bring down Qianyang City?

Emperor Wen Xuan couldn't think of a way, so he found his think tank Zhao Wu (he came up with the idea of besieging the city last time!).

Sometimes it's really strange between people, if someone else has a bad idea, Emperor Wen Xuan will definitely kill him neatly and quickly, but after arriving at Zhao Wu, Emperor Wen Xuan doesn't think it's a bad idea, but feels that the people below don't understand things.

Zhao Wu also heard the news of the food shortage, and when he heard Emperor Wen Xuan ask his idea, he tried his best to think of a "good way" in the spirit of turning his merits into crimes, if the food is cut off, then let's poison it in the water!

Emperor Wen Xuan looked at Zhao Wu appreciatively and felt that this idea was really good.

Emperor Wen Xuan has poison, and a person like him may forget to bring food when he goes out, but poison, weapons, he will remember these things.

Because of the drought in Qianyang City, there is only one river nearby, and it is connected to the outside of the city. Zhao Wu contributed the idea, Emperor Wen Xuan contributed the poison, and happily called his subordinates and asked them to take the poison and put it at the water source of Qianyang City.

The two of them were very happy, and each son went back to the tent and slept, just waiting for tomorrow morning, all the people in Qianyang City were poisoned......!
