Chapter 20: Pretending to be a ghost

"The heavens are dead? Hahaha! More than a dozen generals laughed at the same time, but Chu Gong's expression changed, and he looked at the generals with an ugly face and said, "Is it so funny?" ”

"Nope!" The expressions of more than a dozen generals returned to indifference, and they spoke in unison, while Chu Gong looked seriously outside the city and said: "Now the soldiers have not eaten meat for half a month, there must have been many complaints, the soldiers have no meat to eat, then someone will fight with you desperately, so as early as half a month ago, I was worried about this, so I sent people out of the city to mobilize materials, but it has been gone for half a month, and there is no movement at all, which makes people worry!" ”

The scholar-looking strategist said with a moving expression: "Your Excellency, don't worry, it must be that the material is on the way, and it will come in less than two days..."

"Chu Feng! You are my distant cousin, and you are the first strategist under my account, and you don't need to comfort me, presumably the materials can't be shipped back, I really didn't expect that the Yellow Turban Army has no way to be so lawless that even the team of the government dares to blatantly hijack it. Chu Gong's face was a little cold.

Chu Feng's expression moved, and his face had a different color: "If in two days, the supplies are not available, it is a pity that those who were whipped die and bury them, it is better to..."

"Human flesh? ......" Chu Gong's face also showed a hint of discoloration, sighed and said: "But don't let people find out, otherwise we will be in trouble, let's endure it for a few more days!" ”

"Yes!" Chu Feng walked out of the Taishou Mansion and went outside, just when he ran into Jian Yong, Jian Yong also looked at the food in front of him and was difficult to eat, he frowned tightly and said: "It is rumored that there is a special assassination organization under the demon painter, known as the demon soldier organization, and that skeleton man is the king of demon soldiers, we haven't caught the assassin a few days ago, everything can't be taken lightly!" ”

Chu Feng nodded, and didn't take it too seriously: "Adults have their own opinions, as long as Lord Jian guards Wancheng, naturally no one can hurt the adults, those assassins are still searching, but in recent days, there have been strange noises coming from outside, people are panicking, I don't know how to crack it?" ”

Jian Yong seemed to have been waiting for Chu Feng's inquiry, he frowned and said: "Now the people in the city are panicking, there are two reasons, first, things are often demons, they are worried that there are demons, these ordinary people are still very superstitious in nature, second, is the whipping policy, the root of governing people is benevolence, if it is tyranny, it will not win the hearts of the people, blind oppression will only lead to the final resistance, try to ask the rabbit to bite people in a hurry, let alone us... So if you do what I say, you will be able to resolve it! ”

After listening to this, Chu Feng said admiringly: "In the past, adults implemented the whipping policy in order to pay taxes, but now their lives are almost lost, and taxes are naturally not so important, so I will persuade adults to follow Lord Jane's instructions!" ”

Poke the day, the whipping policy was canceled by Chu Gong, and the Taishou Mansion opened the granary to relieve the people of the city, and that night there was Ruiguang flying out of the Taishou Mansion, like a dragon flying, so some people rumored that the sky is not dead, and the wail of dying is just a sign of rebirth, and that is not the sound of wailing, but the sound of auspiciousness!

In this way, ten to hundred, Wancheng is no longer panicked, the people began to work normally, everything seems to be on the right track, at this time, there are new changes in front of the gate of Wancheng.

"Look! Is that a supply team? A soldier shouted as he rubbed his eyes and saw the man on a cart coming with a cart.

"Wow! Yes, you see, the West City Gate, the South City Gate, and the North City Gate all have material teams, it seems that this time the harvest is quite fruitful, and finally Lao Tzu no longer has to endure not eating meat! One of the guards at the East Gate laughed and spoke.

Before these excited laughter could spread, suddenly a general at the east gate said calmly: "What's wrong, you see that the person who took the lead, why is there only one, and the carriage is three behind each person?" ”

"Come and see, everyone, each leader has two long strips behind him, what is written?" A soldier rubbed his eyes and said aloud: "There is no victory in a battle, and the loser is a skeleton!" ”

After the general carefully identified it, he immediately looked at the person who led the team, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said with fear in his eyes: "Look... Those are not people, but skeletons! ”

"What!" The soldiers on the east gate suddenly exploded, and several other city gates did the same, those... Those are skeletons dressed in black!

I saw that everyone looked nervously at the four people who rode tall horses and carried twelve material carts, and after coming to the city gate, they sat straight on horseback, and when the wind blew, they revealed the white bones inside, and these four people were all skeletons...

So the people in the city, who had just stabilized, were in chaos again and said, "What? Is there a skeleton outside the city gates? ”

"It's said to be someone from the supply team..."

"The guys from the supply team are back?"

"The men of the supply team were killed."

"The men of the supply team starved to death and came back as skeletons."

"What? Demons outside the city? ”

"The walls of Wancheng have collapsed?"

"you, what's the blind comparison, the city wall is not collapsing, I won't see it?"

"It's really bad..."

"It's a dog..."

"You go to the day to show me, numb, don't talk nonsense if you don't have the guts!"

"Uh..."

Jian Yong climbed the city wall, saw the skeleton wrapped under the black clothes and said: "Don't panic, this is someone deliberately intimidating us and stabilizing the morale of the army, if my expectations are good, the enemy army is nearby, ready to fight!" ”

"Yes!" Although all the generals defending the city looked unnatural, they were people in the army after all, and they quickly calmed down, but suddenly the carriages that were pulled in began to move.

Originally, everyone thought that the carriage must be empty, but what could the skeleton man send? But this was obviously not the case now, and the carriages began to make a constant crashing sound until they slammed into pieces, and dozens of various animals ran out of the carriages, and as if they had experienced something terrible, they slammed desperately towards the city gates.

Bang bang bang ... Those cows, horses, pigs, and all kinds of livestock, as if they didn't want to die, crashed into the city gate, as if they were going to knock the city gate open, Jian Yong saw this, and said with a solemn expression: "The people who laid out the layout are really thoughtful, pretending to be ghosts, and using livestock to attack the city, so that everyone thinks that the will of heaven is like this, this city will be broken, and we must not waver in our determination, everyone guards the city gate, and must not open it!" ”

In the woods in the distance, Bo Cai smiled and said: "The demon painter really does what he says, the attacker, the siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top!" ”

One of the masked yellow turban generals said puzzledly: "Military Master, why does that demon painter help us?" ”

Bo Cai looked at Wancheng, and said with an unclear expression: "A few days ago, I made an agreement with Yu Poison that if he could return from me alive, I would agree to him to act in this play, if he died, the demon painter would not be worthy of cooperating with us, but now it is obvious that he is still alive..."

After Bo Cai finished speaking, he looked at the few yellow turban generals behind him and said, "Peng Tuo, Guan Hai, Han Zhong, Sun Xia... Let's put on a good show, send troops! ”

Suddenly, the whole forest was filled with yellow, like a yellow river, swarming towards Wancheng, Jian Yong on the wall of Wancheng saw the endless yellow, his face changed greatly: "Don't panic, everyone, the enemy army deliberately uses the trick of pretending to be a god to disturb the morale of the army and the people, so launching a fierce attack now is our weakest time, but we can't be dominated by fear, any qualified warrior is a heroic and fearless hero, in order to protect our homeland, fight to the death!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrow!!"

"Shoot !!"

Jian Yong's encouragement seemed to have played a considerable role, and as the boundless Yellow Turban Army rushed towards Wancheng, countless arrows were fired, and suddenly a stern curse sounded: "Bastard! A bunch of idiots! The enemy has not yet reached the range circle, what arrows! ”

A general defending the city immediately shouted angrily, the archers suddenly realized something, and looked at each other embarrassedly, Jian Yong sighed, looking at Chu Feng and Chu Gong who walked on the city wall, Chu Feng was also stunned by this scene, and said with embarrassment: "They are too nervous!" ”
