Chapter 40 The social soldiers go out of the city

It's still late at night.

There was silence in Kaifeng City, and suddenly the Kaifeng University Field opened, and thousands of soldiers left the camp and went to the north gate. Thousands of chariots spread over a long distance, lit by torches on both sides. On the street, there is a strange prosperous scene.

Li Xiliang's eyes did not focus on the soldiers, but on the corner of the street.

Under the torches of the light, the silhouettes of individuals fell into the corners.

It's not a person, it's a corpse. And mostly women.

The famine in Kaifeng has already begun to spread.

Gao Mingheng had already used iron-fisted methods in the city, and no one was allowed to hide food privately. If you have more than two stones of grain, you will be chopped. However, no matter how much food is distributed centrally, it will not solve the problem of food shortage.

The people will always eat.

There was no food, first of all, the wild vegetables in the corners of the city were eaten.

Immediately, the herbs in the pharmacy were also eaten.

Among the medicinal herbs, there are many that can be eaten, but the medicine is poisonous, and many people eat too many medicinal herbs, and their faces turn yellow, and they don't look like a living person.

But no matter what, you can live.

After all, the number of medicinal materials is not much, and more people go to Jinshui Lake to catch fish and eat, but the lake in Kaifeng City is not big after all, the fish is quickly eaten, and they can't be caught, and then they eat aquatic plants, but this aquatic plants seem to be poisonous, and a large number of people have been poisoned.

But it still can't stop everyone from eating one after another.

Recently, it was invented to eat tile cream, which is the thing on the tile surface of the tile house, which is said to be edible.

But no matter what new ways of eating are invented every day, it still can't stop people from starving to death in batches. And the most of them are women, the day before yesterday, the government recruited people and buried all the dead on the street, about more than 1,000 bodies.

Even Li Xiliang heard that someone was eating people in private.

This is to force Li Xiliang to go out of the city to fight at all costs, to open the passage, and to let the food from the outside in.

Because Li Xiliang knows that this is just the beginning, if you don't want to find a way to alleviate it, it will not be a matter of more than a thousand people, but batches of dead people, and even the entire Kaifeng City is a dead city.

"Boss." Li Xiliang said to his son: "If I can't come back, you can go to the governor's yamen and use all the food in the house for soup kitchen." ”

"Father." Li Xiliang's son is only a teenager. He said, "Father will come back victorious." ”

"Okay." Li Xiliang said: "You go back." ”

Li Xiliang's son knelt on top of him, but he didn't get up, looking at the thousands of soldiers of the social army, all of them walking in front of him, he suddenly couldn't help it, gritted his teeth

There was a hint of sound, but tears fell from his eyes one by one.

Before leaving, Li Xiliang had already explained all the future affairs at home. Li Xiliang's son knew that his father was going with the heart of death.

How could he not know about this battle?

In front of the north gate, Huang Shu raised the wine bowl and said, "Your Majesty, this official wishes you a victory." ”

Li Xiliang turned out to be a wine bowl, drank it all, there was not much wine in the city for a long time, this time the wine was not good at all, Li Xiliang was born rich, and he had a lot of experience in drinking, this kind of wine, he usually didn't drink it at all, but he had a feeling at the moment, hot air, suddenly drunk.

"Smack." Li Xiliang slammed the wine bowl in his hand on the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"In this battle, there is no victory and no return." Li Xiliang said.

"In this battle, there is no victory and no return." All the social soldiers shouted loudly, and the sound shook the closure of the city.

"Open the gates." A swaying, dragging long sound came out, as if it was the voice of a watchman.

More than a dozen people opened the gate of Kaifeng, which had been closed for a long time.

"Out of town." The social soldiers pushed wooden carts out of Kaifeng City.

With such a big movement, almost when the north gate of Kaifeng City was opened, the news reached Zhang Xuan's ears.

"The inside should be the outside." Zhang Xuan thought with his toes, and knew what was going on. "Not good. Yuan Shizhong is in danger. ”

Not to mention anything else, just when Yuan Shizhong and Liu Zeqing were fighting, how could there be officials and soldiers behind him, and the morale of Xiao Yuan's camp could not be maintained.

Zhang Xuan immediately made a decision, and he must not let this army go behind Xiao Yuan's camp.

But who can be sent over now.

The elites of Xiao Yuan's camp were all taken away by Yuan Shizhong, and the remaining followers were the kind of people who could go out of the camp urgently late at night?

Forget it, how can they do this, they will be mixed up, why bother to mix a position in Xiao Yuan's camp.

Now in the camp, only Zhang Xuan's department can do this.

But as soon as Zhang Xuan left, the backbone forces in the camp were all withdrawn, and once something happened, I am afraid it would be irreparable.

Zhang Xuan immediately said to Zhou Fuchen: "All ministries are urgently dispatched. ”

"Yes." Zhou Fuchen immediately went out to make arrangements, but heard Zhang Xuan say, "Please also invite Mrs. over." ”

"Yes." Zhou Fuchen agreed.

The training of Zhang Xuan's department is much stricter than that of Yuan Shizhong's headquarters, and when Luo Yujiao just came over, she found that Zhang Xuan's department had already assembled, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Yujiao, long story short." Zhang Xuan said: "You immediately take this Aunt Tian back to Cao Ying." ”

"Why?" Luo Yujiao says:

"Something's wrong."

Zhang Xuan simply told Luo Yujiao everything. There are some Luo Yujiao who knows, such as the sudden crossing of the river by the Hebei official army, but the defenders of Kaifeng City do not know about the departure of the city. Zhang Xuan finally said in a low voice: "Now in the camp, the fundamental strength of me and Yuan Ying is not here, in case something can't take care of you, you go to your father-in-law's place to hide first." ”

Don't look at Luo Yujiao's petiteness, compared to the battle array experience, Zhang Xuan may not be as good as Luo Yujiao.

Luo Yujiao knew that Zhang Xuan had two worries, the first worry was that the official army.

The officials and the army should cooperate with the outside in this way, and the Hebei officials and the Kaifeng defenders are linked, which is a big move at a glance. But whether the official army has other secret hands, Zhang Xuan doesn't understand, after all, the communication problem on the battlefield, even if there are already people of the official army within about ten miles of the camp as the center, Zhang Xuan can't know it immediately. And even if he knew it later, the people and horses that Zhang Xuan could use had already been used. There are no reserves, and there is no other way to react. If this battle is defeated, who is Zhang Xuan's headquarters and who will withdraw from the battlefield safely, it can still be done. But he didn't care about the camp anymore.

The second worry is these people in the camp.

In addition to his own people, Yuan Shizhong can actually manage a leader of the rebel army, don't look at them in front of Yuan Shizhong to bow down and obey orders, but are they really reliable?

Zhang Xianzhong used an unknown number of fiascos to prove one thing, a traitor is more hateful than an enemy. Zhang Xianzhong's worst defeat in Agate Mountain was that there were traitors leading the way, and Zuo Liangyu's department suddenly appeared in Zhang Xianzhong's camp.

Once there is a change in the camp, Zhang Xuan will not be able to exert his strength. But the female guards around Luo Yujiao are extraordinary, and escorting Luo Yujiao to Cao Yingzhong will not have this problem. If you are not unlucky, you will directly hit the main force of the official army. There will be no danger.

Luo Yujiao was a little moved in her heart, and at the same time, she said, "No." I can't go, now that the officers and troops have been dispatched one after another, and the main forces in the camp have been exhausted, it is the time to calm the people's hearts, and if I leave again, I am afraid that the camp will be in chaos. ”

Zhang Xuan knew that Luo Yujiao was right.

Now all the departments in the battalion have been alarmed, and there is no one to preside over it. Then Luo Yujiao left. I'm afraid it's even more volatile. But at this moment, Zhang Xuan thought about this, and said, "Don't worry about this, listen to me." ”

"Sister Yang is also in the camp, will you let me go, won't you take Sister Yang away? In this way, how do you face Yuan Shizhong, if you also take Sister Yang away, then my guards may not be able to protect Sister Yang. Luo Yujiao said.

"Sister Yang." It took Zhang Xuan a while to react, the so-called Sister Yang is Yuan Shizhong's wife, that is, Yang Hao's great-granddaughter. His first reaction was: What do you care about her?

Then it occurred to him that he really couldn't ignore it. And this Miss Yang is not as good as Luo Yujiao, and she is not as high as Zhang Xuan.

It's simply a burden.
