Chapter 247: Which side to go to
Xu Huang heard this and immediately didn't say more, but retreated, it's not that he didn't want to attack the city, but the trapped beast was still fighting, if he attacked the city now, the other party would definitely resist stubbornly, and there would be a lot of losses at that time, in fact, Xu Huang was not unable to capture this city, but once he was captured, he would not have the strength to stop Cao Cao from occupying the four counties west of Yewang, and when the time came, he would be greatly weakened, but he would marry someone, this kind of thing Xu Huang would not do.
Xu Huang knew that the current Cao Cao also had the same mentality, so he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but just guarded it strictly, he naturally could only do this, in the current state, no one wanted to be this bird.
Fortunately, there is not much food in Yewang City, and the morale of the army is not stable, it only takes a month at most, and the grain and grass in the city will be exhausted, so they all have to wait.
The following days were very peaceful, no one between the two sides took the initiative to provoke a war, but the calm days revealed uneasiness and restlessness, Cao Cao and Xu Huang were okay to say, but Yang Feng gradually couldn't bear it here, seeing that the food in the city was less than a day, and there was no foreign aid around, the Huns saw that Pei Qing and Cao Cao had made a move, and they had already ignored the alliance, and quietly retreated to the Huns, which also led to the severance of Yang Feng's foreign aid, which made matters worse.
And the most disturbing thing is that now the people in the city are panicking, Yang Feng doesn't know how many people are loyal to him, and many people are secretly planning to give their heads to Xu Huang or Cao Cao in exchange for a chance to live.
However, Yang Feng did not have any effective means to appease the hearts of the army and the people, he thought hard for many days, and finally came up with a way to temporarily stabilize the order, that is, bloody suppression.
Anyone who dares to make disgruntled remarks or spread rumors will be killed, and anyone who tries to escape from the city, the Zhu people, anyone who communicates with foreign enemies, sends intelligence to the enemy army or other plots, and the Zhu people!
All of a sudden, the city was full of bloody rain, Yang Feng sacrificed butcher knives to the soldiers in the city and even some ordinary people, almost every day someone was executed, the prison was overcrowded, whether it was the common people or the soldiers, everyone was in danger, for fear that they would accidentally get into the disaster of killing, they secretly cursed in their hearts, cursing this bloody and tyrannical Yang Feng to die early, so that they could be liberated.
However, on the surface, no one dared to talk much, and even after acquaintances met, they just exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and did not dare to say a word.
Later, when the military rations were not enough to support it, Yang Feng ordered the requisition from the homes of the common people, which was free of charge, and if he did not obey, it would be a dead end.
In fact, this is nothing for the common people, because the ordinary people's food reserves are limited, but for the rich families in the city, this matter is a little unbearable, because in this way, the food and materials they have worked hard to accumulate for several lifetimes will be all over.
But they don't dare not give it, because if they don't, they will be worried about their lives.
Among them, there is an official eunuch called Chen Yanbi, who is very resistant to this matter, but they dare not give it, so they can only sigh all day long.
At this time, he saw a young man walking in from outside and said to Chen Yanbi: "Chen Gong is so depressed, is it because of Yang Feng's robbery of people's wealth?" ”
Seeing this, Chen Yanbi hurriedly said: "Bohuai, silence, this is not a joke, once this is heard, you and I will cause death." ”
But seeing the young man named Bo Huai, he smiled faintly and said, "Does Gong Chen really think that this Yang Feng can last long?" He did this as a harbinger of destruction, and the original King Zhou Li was powerful enough, right? The people can only see the road, but what is the final result? It's not that he has lost his position as the Son of Heaven, and even his life is difficult to preserve, Yang Feng's bloody massacre has already caused the anger of the heavens, coupled with his wanton plundering of people's wealth, it has already caused strong dissatisfaction in the city, as long as someone raises his arms and shouts, the angry people will unite, at that time, killing Yang Feng is like killing a chicken, what is there to fear? ”
"But after all, now that he's gaining power, we can't afford to offend." Chen Yanbi sighed and said a little lonely.
"Hehe, in fact, Chen Gong, you don't have to be so arrogant, you used to be too guarded by Hejian, and you have a lot of prestige in the local area, when you led the family to fight against Zhang Yang, you couldn't let him break through your mansion for more than 60 days, now you just need to raise your arms and shout, the villagers will definitely follow like a cloud, Yang Feng is cruel and unreasonable, all the soldiers and civilians have long been unbearable, get rid of the thugs, just today, Chen Gong, why do you hesitate?"
"I have to say, Bohuai, your idea is quite reasonable, but I'm a scribe, and I'm powerless, even if I have the courage to lead this leader, where can I lead everyone to deal with Yang Feng? I'm afraid even a few creeps can kill me. Chen Yanbi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and was a little disapproving of the young man, but because this young man had helped him before, it was not good to say no directly.
But I saw the young man and said: "Chen Gong don't worry, last time I led the clan to help you, this time I will definitely help you, Chen Gong should know that my uncle has a son's strength, and the boy I have some brains, the two of us cooperate with Chen Gong, plus the clansmen are waving the flag and shouting from it, this matter should be more than ninety percent sure, Chen Gong, in fact, this matter is not difficult to do, but when it is decided, the most taboo is to delay the decision, if the opportunity is lost, in the future, I will be the fish and meat, and the final result can only be that we are all at the mercy of Yang Feng." Because he was alone, he ordered the whole city to be buried with him. ”
After all, Chen Yanbi used to be a Taishou, and he still had some courage to kill decisively, and the words of the young man just now also deeply touched him, if he didn't take the initiative, he was likely to suffer from it in the end, even if it was for his family, he had to gamble.
So after some thought, Chen Yanbi finally made up his mind, he gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "As you just said, Bohuai, now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, we really can't sit still, since your Chang clan is willing to give up their lives to get rid of thieves, why should I regret this?" Then do it, you go and gather the clansmen, I will gather the tribes, and we will turn him upside down together, but you also know that there are two troops outside the city, which belong to the hussar general Pei Qing and Sikong Cao Cao, which side should we go to? ”
