Volume 2 Jihui Ningdu Chapter 126 Xu Xiang is hostage
Fu Shaoyou's ancestors all lived in Camellia Oil City, and his ancestors used to be a scholarly family. In a small city like Camellia City with a population of less than 500,000, the Fu family is still very respected by the local people.
Later, the descendants of the Fu family did not want to forge ahead, and the huge family business was soon lost! When it was Fu Shaoyou's grandfather's turn, he was already so poor that he jingled.
In order to make a living, his grandfather joined the army.
A former scholarly family, as long as someone in the family can be named on the gold list during the Great Xia scientific examination, they can step into the aristocratic class in one fell swoop.
Compared with becoming a nobleman, joining the military can be described as a kind of depravity, so much so that Fu Shaoyou was often ridiculed by the people around him in his childhood.
He had a very strong sense of self-esteem, and he got into a fight with the neighbors who laughed at him, and over time, he was self-taught and practiced a good martial arts.
After his father's death, he took over his father's position in the army, a cantonment commander of the city guard.
The army of the Wuye Kingdom attacked Lushui Town at night, and when the tea oil was hit that night, he had not yet reacted, and he did not know until the city was broken and the people of the Wuye Kingdom wantonly arrested people.
In order to escape being captured by the army of the Witch Night Kingdom, he fled from Camellia City.
Later, on the way, he also met many people who had escaped from the city, and he mixed together. Because of a certain martial arts foundation and the experience of managing people, many people began to believe in him and follow him.
After coming to Ningdu, everyone had no food, and he was so hungry that he didn't have the strength to stand up.
Since someone stormed the city yesterday and was decisively killed by Zheng Xuan, his original intention of following the past to rush to the city was suppressed.
After another night of hunger, the homeless people broke off all the branches around them, and the hungry homeless people didn't care so much, they ate all the bark, roots, weeds, and everything they could chew and swallow.
These things can prop up the stomach and give the brain the illusion that it is full, but these things are indigestible and have no nutrients.
Fu Shaoyou knew that if he went on like this, he could only wait for death, rather than starve to death in agony, it was better to mobilize the emotions of all the displaced people, and more than 100,000 people would storm the city gate together, even if the soldiers defending the city could not take care of so many people.
He knew very well that if he wanted to survive, he had to go to the city.
After communicating with the few people who were following them desperately, they took the branches of the trees that could not be gnawed into their hands, and began to encourage everyone to storm the city gates.
"Rather don't care about our life or death, rather than being starved to death, it is better to rush into the city, as long as you enter the city, you can survive!"
"Enter the city!"
"Enter the city!"
Those who were with him raised their sticks and shouted in unison. In this way, someone responds with it, which naturally affects more people, from a few people to hundreds, and soon thousands of people are already behind them.
Thousands of people shouted to enter the city, which naturally affected all the displaced people, and everyone thought in their hearts, both horizontal and vertical are dead, it is better to follow the troubled waters to fish, maybe there is a chance to survive.
Fu Shaoyou stopped halfway through, he knew that if he approached the city gate further, he would be within the range of the archers above the city tower, and he used to be a city guard to defend the city tower clearly.
He stopped in place, but he exaggerated the momentum of rushing into the city, and now only a few thousand people responded, and if he rushed to the city, it was no different from sending him to death, he was not the simple-minded guy he was yesterday.
"We weren't wrong! We were originally the people of the two cities of Jinchang and Camellia Oil in the Zhongshan Kingdom of Great Xia, and the Wuye Kingdom invaded our land, captured our relatives, and killed our parents and children. What did we come to Ningdu for? ”
"Just to live! Only by staying alive can we hope to avenge our loved ones! ”
"But Kernin didn't care about us, instead of avenging us and sending troops to rescue the people of the two cities, he even ignored us, and didn't care about our life or death at all! Are not the people of Jinchang and the two cities of Camellia and Tea Oil your people? ”
Fu Shaoyou's words ignited the anger of the people, and for a while more and more people struggled to get up, rather than starving to death, it was better to fight!
Zheng Xuan, who was above the city tower, frowned deeply, and when he heard Fu Shaoyou's encouraging words, the killing intent in his eyes flashed.
I thought that it was just a few people who were crazy and hungry and planned to fight, so that he could naturally suppress the situation by killing these leaders.
But he didn't expect that the person who took the lead was not the kind of person with a hot head, but such words aroused the anger of all the displaced people, and seeing that more and more people had gathered, things had begun to be out of his control.
"Fetch my bow!" Zheng Xuan stretched his big hand back, and the soldier handed him a treasure carving bow.
He pulled out his bow and arrow, aiming at Fu Shaoyou in front of him, this person's ability to organize and bewitch is a bit strong, if he is allowed to instigate the homeless, then soon the situation will be out of control, he must get rid of it!
Zheng Xuan closed one eye, visually measured Fu Shaoyou's distance through the arrow, and put it down again, the distance was too far to kill even if he was shot.
Once he didn't kill someone with this arrow, then it would further arouse the anger of the homeless, and the situation would instead develop towards the situation that Fu Shaoyou expected.
This is what Zheng Xuan does not want to see, he is starting to be a little worried, and only hopes that Xu Changsha, who has gone down to negotiate, can bring him good news.
Fu Shaoyou saw the guard on the city wall pulling his bow and aiming at him, but he took it back, and in addition to being relieved, he was also slightly disappointed.
The momentum is getting bigger and bigger, and there are already tens of thousands of people gathered, and most of them are young men who are boiling with enthusiasm, but these 10,000 people may not be enough for Fu Shaoyou.
The defenders of the city gate were at least 3,000 people, and they were well equipped, so there was no problem at all with a blocking division, and at least 30,000 people needed to dare to make a move.
If the gates are torn open, then the other people who are watching will join in, and he will have a good chance of succeeding.
At this time, the city gate opened, and everyone noticed the situation, and immediately quieted down, and looked at the city gate with great concern.
A few people walked out of the city gate, led by a herald, who came to the city gate guards and passed Zheng Xuan's orders to the captains.
Soon, the soldiers who were fully guarded made way of a passage, and out of the passage came two men, a young man in a blue brocade shirt in the front, and a middle-aged strong man in the back.
"Brother Fu, someone from the city has come out!" The homeless people beside Fu Shaoyou said.
"Could it be that the people in the city have promised us food?" The other said with hope.
Fu Shaoyou didn't know the attitude of the city, if the city was willing to provide them with food, then there was no need to do such an extreme thing.
Seeing the two people walking towards the ranks of the displaced people, everyone did not dare to speak, waiting for someone to announce the decision of the city.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Xiang stopped at a distance of fifty paces from the group of displaced people and asked loudly.
"Rather don't give us a way to live, we want to go into the city! We're going to eat! Fu Shaoyou opened his mouth to answer.
"Who said that Ning would not give you a way to live? This official is the household ministry to raise the people's order Xu Changsha! That's what it's about! ”
"Ning Du promised to give us food?" Everyone was happy.
Fu Shaoyou saw Xu Xiang coming empty-handed, and asked with some disbelief: "Since Ning Du is willing to give us food, dare to ask Lord Xu, where is the food?"
"Ben-sama didn't bring any food." Xu Xiang said.
Hearing that there was no food, everyone was angry, and Fu Shaoyou asked directly: "Lord Xu just said that he came for us, but he didn't bring food, isn't he playing tricks on us?" ”
Xu Xiang glanced at him and said, "Ning Du promised to provide you with food, but! ”
"As long as we can eat, let us live. We're willing to do anything! Even if it's a slave or a slave! ”
"Think about it, how many people are there? How much food do I need to consume per day? Even if Ningdu's warehouse is opened, how long will it be able to feed you? If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself! ”
"We are already homeless and have no way to get food! On your own? How to rely on yourself? Fu Shaoyou said angrily, after talking for so long, this household official didn't even take out a grain of rice.
"You have hands and feet, why can't you rely on yourself?" Xu Xiang asked rhetorically, "Do you know why I didn't send you food?" It's because even Ningdu can't keep you all the time! The king of Zhongshan has given you a piece of land, and you will build your own new home here and grow food in your new home! ”
"Lord Xu said it lightly! We are willing to build our own homes, cultivate the land, and grow food! But before the food was ripe, we starved to death! Fu Shaoyou didn't believe Xu Xiang's words.
"What's your name?" Xu Xiang noticed this man, almost everyone was driven crazy by food, but his thinking was relatively normal.
Moreover, this plan to encourage the displaced people is methodical and reasonable, not a rush of brains.
"If the husband doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, I am Fu Shaoyou of Camellia Oil City!"
"Fu Shaoyou, right? You don't seem to believe that much in what the official said? Xu Xiang said calmly.
"Lord Xu keeps saying that he wants to save us, but if he doesn't give us food, how can he have trust? No food, no trust! ”
"Food, huh? I'll give you food later! Now you are given two roads, the first way, accept Ningdu's arrangement, go to a new land, and build a new home! Second, the official turned around and left, you can rush to the city and see how many people can survive! ”
"Is it true that Lord Xu said that he would give food later?" Fu Shaoyou asked.
"The official will go back to the city to collect food, but you need to do a few things for the official now!" Xu Xiang said.
Hearing that there was food, Fu Shaoyou had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he asked, "What does Lord Xu want me to do?" ”
"Before this official returns to the city to collect food, you have to do the following things. First, count the number of people; second, to distinguish between those who are sick and those who are healthy; Third, put healthy people in groups of 100 and let them wait in fixed places; Fourth, choose a team leader for each group, and when the food arrives, the group leader will pick up the food, instead of everyone rushing up to avoid chaos! ”
"These four points, if you can do it well before the arrival of this official! Then there is food! Can you do it? ”
Fu Shaoyou thought for a moment, these things were a little difficult for him, and he was extremely hungry now, he was a little suspicious that this Lord Xu had drawn a big pie, and after everyone was so hungry that they didn't have the strength to storm the city gate, they could solve this riot of the displaced people without much effort.
"Are you telling the truth? How do I know you're not lying to us, stalling so we don't have the strength to storm the city again? Fu Shaoyou asked directly, at such a juncture, if you talk about it again, it will be very unfavorable to them as homeless.
Xu Xiang smiled coldly, "I knew you would think so!" In this case, how about the official stay here and let his men go down to collect food? ”
Hearing that Xu Xiang was going to stay here, Yang Dianfeng hurriedly said, "Young Master! How can you stay here, it's too dangerous! It's better to let your subordinates stay here......"
"Don't talk nonsense! Lao Yang, according to the previous plan, go and do it! Xu Xiang glared at him, and then walked straight towards the ranks of the homeless.
Zheng Xuan, who was on the city wall, watched Xu Xiang walk straight towards the homeless people, his heart was shocked, and he shouted angrily in a low voice: "What is this Xu Changsha going to do? ”
