After entering the city, Kong Xiancai understood what Fang Irong said before, "You might as well keep this bean sprout, maybe you can use it when you go back to the city." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Because, this is food, and the city has been without food for half a month.

What is the concept of half a month, that is to kill people. Especially when there is a lack of water on this hot day.

Originally, there were several small hills in Qichun City, and the groundwater was abundant. In good years, there is water injected outside, and you only need to dig a foot in the ground to see the water. But as soon as the drought hit, the wells that had been abundant in water disappeared overnight.

The few water sources in the city were strictly managed, and hunger and thirst caused the people of the city to fall one by one like grasshoppers in autumn.

When you walk out on the street, the situation in front of you is literally hell on earth.

I saw that there were fallen corpses everywhere, and the flies had completely occupied the city, and they fell with a bang, as if they had put on a thick jacket for the dead, and when they saw people coming, they didn't know how to hide, so greedily sucked human flesh.

The rotting corpse water flowed freely with maggots and white flowers, and white bones were thrown everywhere.

The smell is stronger, but because I have been smelling for a long time, I am used to it, but the smell makes people want to cry.

"This, this, how can you ......" Kong Xian's face was pale, his throat rolled, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't. The wine and meat that Wang Shen had eaten earlier were stuck in his esophagus, hot and painful.

"It's all dying." Liu Fu sighed sadly, after a month, this sturdy man had lost a lot of weight, and his face was full of beards. The head had not been washed for a long time, and it was bloody and dusty, sticking together, as if wearing a hat.

"Dead?"

"Dead." Liu Fu nodded, his eyes full of defeat: "When the army lord withdrew to Qichun to defend it, he gathered nearly 4,000 men and horses, and also requisitioned the people of the city, a total of 50,000. Major General, guess how many are left? ”

"How much."

Liu Fu: "It's better to be a war force, more than a thousand people have been killed, and now there are a little more than 2,000." As for the people of the city, there are ...... left," he held out four fingers.

"How much? Forty thousand? ”

Liu Fu shook his head: "Four thousand." ”

"What, four thousand left?" Kong Xian's scalp tightened, and his cold hair stood up. Fang Cai Liu Fu said that there were 50,000 people in the city, and now there are only 4,000 left, so what about the other 44,000 people?

are all dead, how big is this old city of Qichun, there are only two streets horizontally and vertically, and a pillar of incense can walk through the city: "So many dead people, where to put them?" ”

"Wherever you go, you can put it there." Liu Fu smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, in order to prevent the epidemic in the summer, the dead were dug deep and buried. But if you bury it, the land will not be enough. Dig down with a hoe into an open field and you'll be able to unearth a few corpses. There is no choice but to burn, but the doors of the houses in the city have been torn down, and even the firewood for cooking is not ready, and it can still be used to waste people. In the end, everyone didn't bother to care, so they randomly found a house with no one and threw the corpse into it until they couldn't stuff it anymore. ”

His face was miserable: "It's all to blame on the old horseman surnamed Lu." ”

Kong Xian was surprised: "Master Lu, what does this matter have to do with Master Lu?" ”

"If you don't blame him, who is to blame?" Liu Fu angrily slapped the rammed earth wall of the room next to him and scolded: "The old murderer is really hateful, and the straight lady thief has a bad idea, and he actually sent the dead out of the city and took the rotten corpse to dirty the water source of the Sizhou army." These are good, but they reminded Wang Daosi of the ruthless man, and they simply took the body and shot it into the city with a catapult. On this hot day, all the dead were rotten, and a great plague broke out in the city. In fact, eighty percent of the people in this city died of the plague, and the cause was because of the old beast surnamed Lu. ”

Kong Xian listened, his heart was sad for a while, and he said for a long time: "I also heard about this when I was a prisoner, and the matter of shooting the corpse into the city was the commander of the Sizhou army, Wu Xianxian, and Wang Daosi was a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and after hearing about it, he severely punished Commander Wu." ”

"Benevolent gentleman, benevolent gentleman, Wang Shen is a ruthless star. He can be a mere follower, and he can kill the seven-rank defense envoy on the battlefield, command more than 10,000 troops, and govern the military and political affairs of the two states, which is not a good character. ”

Kong Xian shook his head: "No, no, no, I believe in my eyes." ”

"I hope so!" Liu Fu's eyes flashed with longing: "Young General, did you come back this time for peace talks?" ”

Kong Xian nodded: "Just because of this matter, Wang Daosi is about to let me go back to the city to facilitate this matter." He said that as long as his father could marry his sister to him, he would immediately withdraw back to Huangzhou and let our army settle in Qizhou. And play the imperial court and recruit our army. In order to show his sincerity, he was also willing to let the people in the city go out of the city to survive. ”

Liu Fu showed a smile on his face: "If you can accept Zhao'an, it is naturally the best." So many people died, and the brothers were so hungry that they couldn't walk, and no one wanted to fight anymore. Yes, although we are a verdict, it doesn't matter if we are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, as long as Wang Shen is willing to nod his head. His benefactor is the right minister Du Chong, which is sure to make the court nod. The last general didn't understand what the army master was doing to defend Qichun, Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng's reinforcements had been defeated by Wang Daosi, and there was no hope, so why didn't they want to leave. Major General, I will leave this matter to you, for the sake of our Kong family's army. ”

"The brothers in the army followed us from Hebei to Kaifeng, to Lianghuai, and now to Qihuang, so many people, now there are only two thousand left, and they can't die anymore, so we can leave some seeds for our Hebei heroes!" At this point, he slammed it to the ground, and tears fell one by one.

Kong Xian hurriedly put down the dustpan used to make bean sprouts in his hand, helped him up, and his eyes were red: "General Liu, don't worry, even if I am punished by my father, no matter what, I will let him agree to marry Wang Shen and accept the imperial court's recruitment, too many people have died, and this situation can not continue." ”

At this moment, suddenly, a black and thin figure jumped out from the side of the street, grabbed the dustpan on the ground, and shouted, "Eat, eat." ”

Then he picked up the bean sprouts and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing until the corners of his mouth were full of green juice.

This is a man who has been dried and wrinkled, and judging by the color of his hair, he should not be very old, but he is so old.

"Look for death!" One of the guards lifted his waist knife and slashed at his vest.

Kong Xian was shocked: "Don't! ”

But he was still a step too late, and the sharp knife slashed the man's back.

But no blood flowed out.

The man staggered forward and threw himself on the door beside him.

"Boom!" The door fell, and a black pressure piece tilted down, pressing Kong Xian and Liu Fu fiercely underneath.

It was a half-decomposed corpse piled up in the house, like firewood.
