In Jiankang City, people's hearts are floating, since the Double Ninth Festival, the Northern Zhou Kingdom has many changes on the border between the two countries, for a time rumors are spreading, all kinds of news are spread everywhere, all say that the Northern Army is about to go south, so that the wind in Jiankang City is loud. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After tossing for more than half a month, at the beginning of October, just when people thought that the news of the northern army's southern invasion was false, an envoy sent by the Zhou State arrived in Jiankang and brought the letter of the Emperor of the Zhou State at the same time.

Its content is naturally unknown to ordinary people, but there is no impermeable strong in the world, and the next day, the whole city knows what is written in the national book of Zhou: the emperor of Zhou counted the crimes of Emperor Chen in the national letter.

“... According to the land of the palm, the desire of the ravines, the robbery of Yan Lu, the exhaustion of assets, the displacement of internal and external, the labor has been served..."

“... Poor and extravagant, day and night, beheading outspoken guests, destroying the house of innocence..."

“... Deceive the heavens and create evil, sacrifice ghosts and ask for favors, hold powder and stubbornly fight, drag Luo Qi and call for warning..."

“... Since ancient times, it is chaotic, rare or comparable, the gentleman absconding, the villain has the ambition, the natural disasters and the earth are evil, the monsters and demons, the clothes and jaws, the road is eye-catching..."

“... Heavy to betray morality and disobey the word, shake the territory, day and night, rats and dogs steal..."

There are many contents of the national letter, and it is not complicated to summarize, anyway, it is to point to the nose of Emperor Chen and scold the "unreasonable and faint king", and finally announced that he was about to send troops to the south and Yongqing Wu Yue.

After hearing the specific content of the national letter, the whole city was in an uproar: the army of the Northern Dynasty is going south again!

"This, how is this possible! Zhou and Sui have been fighting for many years, and the winner was just separated at the beginning of this year. ”

"How is it impossible, Zhou Guo's junior lieutenant Chi Cheng Prime Minister, of course he has to stand up for his authority when he succeeds him, so he will be reckless!"

"Have you heard? The imperial court has already dispatched troops, from the gorge to Ba, Hunan, and Jiangzhou, all of which have gathered troops to deploy defenses! ”

"The State of Zhou specially sent an envoy to deliver the credentials, it seems that once the Zhou army goes south this time, it will be very extraordinary!"

"What if it's not trivial? Hundreds of years have passed, have the Beiyu broken through the Yangtze River? ”

"That's right, the official army is now guarding Huainan, and it's not so easy for the north to cross the river!"

"The officers and soldiers are gathering in Huainan, and the northern captives want to gnaw it down, but it will not work for more than half a year, and in the rainy season of the coming year, the northern captives will not be able to survive!

In the streets and alleys, people are talking about it, although the Zhou State has captured Yingzhou and has a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, but for hundreds of years, there has never been a soldier in Jiankang, so everyone is still very optimistic.

"Don't make such a noise, the official army will definitely be able to repel the northern captives!"

"Yes, yes!"

Many guests in the tea shop and wine shop will enthusiastically discuss the current situation, and they can't help but be nervous, after all, people who can often consume in tea shops and wine shops have some family backgrounds, and once the Beiyu really invades Jiankang, then their family wealth will be ruined.

More than 30 years ago, the Western Wei Dynasty broke through Jiangling, the capital of the Liang State, and took away most of the people in Jiangling City, regardless of whether they were high or low.

National disaster, no one can be spared, when the city of Jiangling was broken, even the son of Chen Baxian, the ancestor of Chen State, such as today's son and the first emperor were arrested by the Western Wei Dynasty, these people had a special identity at that time, and their lives in Chang'an were good, and they were put back in the future, but others were unlucky.

Now that the Zhou army is attacking the south, it really wants to break through Jiankang, and then, like thirty years ago, capture everyone to Yecheng or Luoyang in the north, how many people will die halfway? How many families will be ruined?

In the Yin Shi family, everyone was punished and confiscated as slaves, and they became lowly slaves, and even watched their wives and concubines and daughters become other people's playthings, such a scene was too terrifying, so the rich families were particularly concerned about the current situation.

In all fairness, the denunciation of Chen Shubao, the emperor of Chen in the book of Zhou Guoguo, is indeed very reasonable, but it doesn't matter if the big families are big, they have their own pastoral real estate and live their own small lives, and the emperor is exploiting the lowly people, and it has nothing to do with them.

The emperor is mediocre, it's a big deal to change the dynasty, as long as the Southern Dynasty is still there, anyway, the Southern Dynasty has changed several dynasties in the past few hundred years, and the small days of the scholars, heroes, and chieftains are still living a good life, but it is different when the Northern Captives come.

The Southern Dynasty has the rules of the game of the Southern Dynasty, and the powerful ministers and generals who were born in the Southern Dynasty will abide by this rule even if they change the dynasty, but the Northern Captives will definitely change the rules, especially the evil Juntian system, which is simply "tolerable, which is unbearable!" ”

In the streets and alleys of Jiankang City, many people are talking about it, some are panicked, some are panicking, and some are forced to calm down, but for those poor people who live in dilapidated courtyards and shacks, there are not so many ideas.

If the north is not the north, they don't have time to take care of it, because their days are almost over.

Years of conscription have forced many families to die, the strong labor of the family has been requisitioned, the promised service period has long passed, but people have not seen back, the price of cloth has plummeted, so that the old, weak, sick and disabled in the family are losing money, and they can only wait for death slowly.

Seeing the tragic situation of their next-door neighbors, many people took risks: serving is a dead end, and desertion is also a dead end, but they have hope of survival, and they are lucky not to be caught by the government, so they flee to other places to work as tenant farmers.

There is really no way out, some people choose to rise up, but they are brutally wiped out by the official army, and the cowardly ones take their families and families to beg everywhere.

Competing with wild dogs for food, eating tree bark and soil, in order to survive, they have no dignity, they live like dogs, but they still live hard, and the number of beggars in Jiankang City is increasing day by day.

The home is gone, there is nothing, the officials and soldiers want to recover their homeland, they want to go north to the Central Plains, it has nothing to do with them, because it is difficult to say whether they can see the sun tomorrow or not, watching those brightly dressed people talk about the current situation, they can only silently shrink in the corner and tremble.

Ragged clothes, foul smell, numb eyes, rickety figures, and dying relatives lying beside him, kneeling on the ground, begging to passers-by: "Okay, have mercy on us..."

Every day, many beggars are turned into corpses, and many beggars pour into Jiankang City, and soon they also turn into corpses on the road.

Even if you don't starve to death tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but you can survive autumn and winter, what should you do then?

Listening to people talking about the major affairs of the court, their hearts were infinitely sad: the court, which court is not the same?

The sound of horses' hooves, more than ten flying horses rushed into Jiankang City, galloping towards Taicheng, pedestrians along the way dodged, looking at the backs of these cavalry, people wondered: What news came?

On November 11, Zhou Tianzi Yuwen Qiankeng paid tribute to the ancestors and ancestors in the Taimiao, and the army swore to the south for the soldiers to practice, and at the same time, the Zhou State issued countless copies to Jiangnan to discuss Chen Yuwen.

With Chi Youqi, the governor of Xuzhou, as the marching marshal, Sima eliminated difficulties for his marching marshal.

With Shannan Province Daxingtai Shangshu Lingyu Wenming as the marching marshal, Huangzhou Governor Yu Wenwen as the marching marshal, Xinzhou Governor Cui Hongdu as the marching marshal, the three marching marshals are all subject to the marching marshal Wei Chi Youqi moderation.

In the first year of Qianxing of the Zhou State and the second year of the Ming Dynasty of Chen Guozhen, hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops launched an offensive against the Chen State at the same time from the Three Gorges in the west, through Jiangling, Xiakou and Qikou, and from Huaishui to the east.
