Chapter 171: Life is like a play
Early in the morning, the rioters who slept on the city wall with their weapons in their arms were attracted to a burst of fragrance and woke up...... The taste of the food!
One by one, the chaotic people crawled out from behind the female wall, rubbing the water and drowning, and saw that outside the city wall, where the arrows could not shoot, rows of clay pots were erected, gurgling and cooking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"There's fine salt in it!" As the refined salt began to spread in Shudi, everyone is no stranger, some guys with sensitive noses have already smelled that the food in this clay pot is added with refined salt, plus they haven't eaten enough for a few days, and they look at the rows of clay pots erected outside the city one by one, and their eyes are red.
"What are they doing here?" Some of the rioters tried not to think about it, and looked at the people next to them suspiciously, hoping to divert their attention.
"Live, cook!" Swallowing, another rebel looked wistfully at the clay pots.
Just as Guo Jia guessed, in addition to discovering that the stock in the city was limited, the leader of Mianzhuguan, Scarhead, hoarded most of the grain, and only allocated a small amount to make porridge for everyone to drink.
"Of course I do." He rolled his eyes, looked at the scene outside the city, touched his stomach and said, "I mean, why are they cooking here?" ”
"Who knows." Swallowing his saliva, the smell of the smell permeated his nose made these rebels guarding the city feel hungrier than before.
"Are you okay?" Outside the city, in the army, Liu Bi looked at the chaotic people at the head of the city, and frowned at Guo Jia.
"The general can rest assured, such rebellious people have no ambitions, and they only live for a meal." said with some regret: "If it weren't for the amazing price of grain in Shuzhong, these people would not have taken risks, and speaking of which, I can't blame them." ”
Liu Bi couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, he couldn't control this kind of thing, and he couldn't manage it.
Guo Jia looked at the people on the head of the city who kept gathering on the side of the female wall, looked at Liu Bi with a smile and said, "General, it's almost over, you can send someone to shout." ”
"Good!" Hearing this, Liu Bi nodded, and waved his hand to let a general with a loud voice shout.
The general came to the city and shouted at the wall of Mianzhu Pass: "Listen to the people in the city, my general knows that your rebellion is also a last resort, I don't want to wait for you to be embarrassed, but Mianzhu Pass is the most important place in my Shu, must be taken, the general can't bear to be ruined, make more killings, send this general to come to spread the word, but there are those who are willing to surrender, these food, you can wait for you to eat, those who are willing to open the city gate to surrender, there are more rewards, if there are those who can offer the head of the thief, you can enter the army to report on your work, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" ”
The official promotion to the third level sounds good, but in fact, it is at most a team rate, but for the rebels in the city, this is tempting. The confusion is not small.
Yesterday's battle, has proved the combat effectiveness of the official army, Scar head with tens of thousands of chaotic people out of the city, the result was beaten by Liu Xuan to hug the head of the rat, and then dare not go out of the city, the strength of the official army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, has made these fighting spirit in the city is not very high chaotic people cowardly, now seeing that the officers and soldiers are not to blame in the past, and as long as they go out of the city, there is food, many people are moved, left and right.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, how high the price of food is, everyone knows it, how can these dog officials be so kind?" A rebel leader saw that many people were looking at him dangerously, and hurriedly roared.
"Everyone, listen to me, my lord has begun to stabilize the price of grain, and I believe that it will not be long before the price of grain will fall, and when the time comes, are you afraid that you will not have anything to eat? Surrender, you are good people, and they are also the people of Shuzhong, why bother to kill each other, and we don't want to face our swords at these people! With the flames of war, there will inevitably be heavy casualties, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the children and parents at home. The military general said loudly.
"I'm quitting!" A chaotic man suddenly turned around and walked towards the city: "I'm starving to death here, maybe I will have a full meal when I go out, I want to go out of the city!" ”
"You dare!" When the leader of the rebels saw this, he couldn't help but be furious, and he stepped forward to beat him.
"Get out of here!" The man seemed to be iron-hearted, and kicked him fiercely, the leader of the chaos was actually just a scar-headed cronie, and his own combat effectiveness was not strong, and he was caught off guard at this moment, and was kicked down by the other party, and before he had time to get up, several people suddenly appeared around at the same time, picking up all kinds of weapons in their hands, and in the terrible screams of the leader of the chaos people, it was a random beating.
The screams gradually became weak, and finally there was no sound, and several chaotic people gasped fiercely, threw away the weapons in their hands, and said loudly as they walked down the city: "Go, don't do it, I waited for that scar to be born and died, but I refused to give me even a full meal, what's the point of following them?" Walk! ”
Someone took the lead, and under the pressure of Liu Xuan's army, a group of cowardly rebels suddenly responded as if they had found the backbone, some began to pull the winch and put down the drawbridge, but some people began to work together to push open the city gate.
Outside the city, looking at such a situation, Guo Jia frowned slightly, although he was sure that these chaotic people would definitely be rebelled, but he didn't expect that the will to resist of these chaotic people would be so weak, it seems that the official army still has enough deterrence and credibility in the hearts of the chaotic people, if this is the case in the entire Shuzhong, I am afraid it is not optimistic.
With a move in his heart, Guo Jia turned his head to look at Liu Bi, who was excited, and said with a smile: "General, I am afraid that the grain and grass in the army are not enough for these people, so I should quickly report this matter to the envoy and let him mobilize the grain and grass as soon as possible." ”
"Good!" Liu Bi nodded when he heard this: "This is natural, I will report to the lord immediately, this time I can win, all depend on Mr., this credit, I will explain it to the lord." ”
"Don't dare." Guo Jia shook his head and smiled.
At this moment, many of the rebels who went out of the city have been under the guidance of the soldiers, and began to scramble for food in the clay pots, they are really hungry, Liu Bi began to send troops into the city, the city gate was broken, although there were still a large number of rebellious people in the city, but without the protection of the city wall, where are these people the opponents of the well-equipped officers and soldiers, and the reaction speed of the rebellious people in the city is also very worrying, until Liu Bi entered the city with a large army, the rebellious people in the city did not make a decent response.
Scarhead was still sleeping soundly on the bed, when he suddenly saw someone break in and roared urgently: "Chief, it's not good!" ”
Scarhead woke up from his sleep with an angry face, and scolded with a slap on his face: "It's only been a while, what does it look like to come in so urgently!" The sky is falling? ”
"Chief, the officers and troops have entered the city!" Several cronies said with sad faces.
"Uh......" Scarhead's originally angry face was stunned, and then he roared angrily: "Impossible, isn't there 10,000 elite soldiers in the city?" How could they have come in so quickly? ”
"It's true!" The subordinates wept and said with sad faces: "The officers and soldiers used food as bait to induce those people to surrender, and the eighth wanted to stop it, but we were beaten to death by a stick, and we ran back, and the city gate was opened by those who guarded the city." ”
The muscles on Scarhead's face twitched a few times, and he scolded: "The officers and soldiers are too despicable, and those bastards, they eat inside and outside one by one, I didn't give them anything to eat?" ”
"Chief, what now?" Several subordinates didn't dare to contradict it, and looked at Scarhead.
"What else can I do? Run! Scarhead snorted angrily and put on his clothes, carrying a cooked copper rod and said: "I heard that Fuxian County is also occupied by a group of chaotic people, let's go to them!" ”
Yesterday there was a big battle with the official army, so that he really understood the gap between the two sides, that is not at all comparable in numbers, with the city wall to help him and the confidence to argue with the other party, but now that the city gate is broken, where is the courage to find bad luck again? At the moment, he brought dozens of cronies to roll up some property and food, and took advantage of the chaos in the city, quietly opened the north gate and headed in the direction of Fuxian.
In Mianzhu Pass, after Liu Bi entered the city, he quickly set up a list to calm the people according to Guo Jia's suggestion, and at the same time opened the granary, divided the only remaining grain and grass, and sent people to Pegasus to drive back to Cheng. reported the news, and at the same time asked Liu Zhang for food, and finally led people to arrest Scarhead, but got the news that Scarhead had fled, which made Liu Bi a little regretful.
"These thieves are running pretty fast!" Liu Bi shook his head regretfully, but he didn't care, he had seen the scar, some martial arts, but the battle of the army was a mess, he was not a military general at all, he ran away, and he would catch a random rebel to replace him later, and the credit was still his.
"General, Mr. Meng Jia asks to see you." As soon as he returned to the mansion after a two-day absence, a personal soldier came to report to Guo Jia to ask for a meeting.
"Please!" Liu Bi hurriedly said, at this moment, there is no underestimation of Guo Jia, this Mianzhu Pass was planned by the other party, and it was broken in less than half a day, such a person, the future is limitless!
"General Kami." Guo Jia came in with Niu Geng and Wang Ping, and looked at Liu Bidao with a smile.
"Thanks to Mr. this time, I have sent someone to give Mr. credit, and I believe that the reward will come down soon." Liu Xuan said with a smile.
"The general's words are serious, the morale of the people in the city is not high, and the scar head does not know how to be compassionate, there will be such a situation, and it is also his own fault." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It's a matter here, but I'm here to bid farewell to the general." ”
"Mr. is leaving?" Liu Bi said with some regret: "Why don't you stay for a few more days, and wait for the lord's reward before leaving, this general still has a lot of questions, and I want to ask Mr. for advice." ”
"This time to win, it all depends on the general's strategy, I don't dare to take credit in the next, and I have been separated from my brother for several years, when I rush to meet as soon as possible, I hope the general will be successful." Guo Jia said with a smile.
"That's it!" Liu Xuan sighed when he heard this, nodded and said, "In this way, I won't keep Mr. here." ”
A guard came in with a tray with some coins on it, as well as some food.
"Mr. is leaving, this general is not good to stay, this is a heavy city, there is nothing to entertain, Mr. take these things, and eat them on the way." Liu Xuan said with a smile.
"In this way, it is disrespectful." Guo Jia smiled and nodded, without refusal, motioned for Niu Geng to take it, and then bowed to Liu Bi, and then took the two of them to get the token and went straight to the north gate.
