Chapter Seventy-Eight: Chaos Rises
Chapter Seventy-Eight: Chaos Arises
In the city, there was a curse.
"Damn, the Forbidden Army is well fed, why are we hungry? It's all two shoulders and one head, why does the army have food, and we can only drink the wind? ”
"Because they are the army, they are the treasures of Zampu, and it is Zampu himself who has ordered us to withhold food and wine and feed these pigs. They are pigs, they are very good at eating, and they eat once, and we have to eat two. ”
"How can there be such a reason, they eat meat and drink wine, we can only drink wind. They can eat more than pigs, as long as we save some wine and meat, we will be enough to eat. This is injustice, absolute injustice. ”
"That's right, it's unfair, it's very unfair, we have to find Zampu to comment."
"Moti Zampu, someone asked to see Zampu and asked for the distribution of wine and meat, but Zampu was beaten out with a stick. Zampu also released cruel words, saying that if he dared to make trouble again, he would kill the troublemaker. ”
"I haven't had enough to eat for days, and I'm so hungry that if I continue to starve like this, I'll definitely die. If it doesn't work like this, we have to find a way. ”
"Yes, you must find a way to get wine and meat, otherwise, you will definitely starve to death."
The people of the city were all talking, and the more they talked, the more angry they became, and their faces were flushed with anger.
It had to start not so long ago. At the beginning, after the Tang army besieged the city, it no longer attacked the city, and the Tang army ignored it and shot back with a bow and crossbow, and never fought with Tubo.
Once this happened, Ji Dezuzan didn't care, and ordered a challenge, but Tang Jun still dealt with it like this. After doing this many times, the Tang army was determined to trap Tubo to death, not to fight them, and to reduce casualties.
He convened a meeting of his ministers and finally unanimously decided to limit the supply of food.
In such a critical situation, limiting the supply of food is an emergency measure, and only in this way can the consumption of food be saved and consumed by the Tang Army.
Of course, the limited supply of Jide Zuzan is targeted, and it is impossible for him to make the army hungry, if even the army is not full, it will cause the army's morale to be unstable and their morale will drop, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury. Therefore, the emperor ordered that the army should supply food in a regular amount, and the people who flocked into the city should be supplied in limited quantities, and only one meal a day would be given to them, and this meal was still half full.
At the beginning, under the coercion of Jide Zuzan, these people could still endure the peace and arguments, but after a long time, they could no longer bear it, and they complained everywhere, and they were cursing everywhere.
Some bold people rushed to the front of the Hongshan Palace in groups, begging to see Qide Zuzan and asking for more food to be distributed. It was impossible for De Zuzan to agree to this request, and ordered the forbidden army to blast them away.
There is nothing wrong with this approach, but it has attracted a lot of scolding, and the people are extremely dissatisfied with it.
The majesty of Zampu is like a mountain pressing on the hearts of the people and the people, but he can't even save his life, or he starves to death because of the Zuzan of Qide, who doesn't complain? Who cares about Zuzan? Invisibly, the prestige of Jide Zuzan has been greatly reduced, and some people are secretly calling him a tyrant.
If it weren't for the fact that the army was still under the control of the city, the city would have been in chaos.
Despite this, the rumors are everywhere, and from time to time people make trouble over the food. As soon as someone makes trouble, it will cause a stir. There were not a hundred of such a stirring in a day, but eighty.
"Why are you robbing me of my wine and meat?"
"I am stronger than you, I am stronger than you, I am stronger than you. Wine and meat are only worthy of the strong men of Tibet, you are so thin, it is a waste to feed you. ”
"Give me back the wine and meat, and return my wine and meat."
"Here, in the stomach, there is a kind of you to get it."
In the midst of the discussion, two discordant voices suddenly came out, and only two people were heard arguing loudly. Many people and the general went up to take a look, only to see a thin man and a fat man pushing and shoving, their eyes widened, you stared at me, I stared at you, just like a cockfight, no one let anyone.
"I'll kill you." The thin man was so grief-stricken that he drew his scimitar and slashed at the fat man.
"You go and die." The fat man's eyes flashed, dodged the knife, pulled out the scimitar, and in a flash, the thin man's head flew up for a long time.
The fat man grabbed the headless corpse of the thin man, touched it in his arms for a while, and took out a piece of cooked meat of about a pound, his eyes lit up, he couldn't stop swallowing saliva, and said with a very satisfied smile: "I have long noticed that you have hidden meat." It's really not a thing, saving this meat is actually for the concubine to eat. Hmph, don't think I don't know about the two of you. ”
muttered proudly for a while, and was about to eat meat, but he stopped suddenly, only to see the greedy light of hungry wolves in the eyes of the onlookers, and they couldn't stop swallowing.
Since the implementation of the limit, these people have not eaten enough, and they have long been hungry, and at first sight of this piece of meat, they are all hungry, and they are eager to grab it and eat it immediately.
"What are you going to do? Don't come here, I have a knife, I have a knife. The fat man was shocked, holding the knife in his right hand, and grabbing the meat with his left hand and stuffing it into his mouth, so that he could eat it in his stomach.
"Catch him." Suddenly, someone yelled, and the crowd rushed up.
"Ahh The fat man let out a heart-rending scream, and there was no more sound, blood gushed from his body, and he didn't know which ruthless person he killed.
"It's mine, it's mine."
A group of people stared at the piece of meat and roared, you don't let me, I won't let you, you push me and make a mess.
"You dare to rob me of my flesh." Suddenly, a tall man pulled out his scimitar and slashed at the crowd, and several people had no time to dodge, either to death or to be slashed.
The thunderous tactics were very intimidating, and the crowd retreated.
This man was greatly rejoicing, and he had a bloody knife in his hand, and he wanted to eat meat. There was blood, tooth marks, and shiny saliva on this meat, and if it was in peace, no one would eat it. But what time of year is it? It's nice to have something to eat, who cares?
"I'm going to kill you. I'll kill you. A man who had been slashed by this man was bleeding from the shoulder and was staring at the man and yelling.
The man was tall and glanced at him with disdain, and the person who was cut did not dare to step forward, and screamed: "Kill him, there is meat to eat." Kill him, and have meat to eat. ”
There was infinite magic in these words, and many onlookers stepped forward, clenching the scimitar in their hands, their eyes full of greedy light.
"Which of you has the courage to come up and die? Who would dare? I have meat, I have meat. The man was extremely proud, shaking the flesh in his hand, waving a scimitar, and making a fierce provocation.
His provocation was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and someone shouted and pounced on him with a scimitar.
As soon as someone makes a move, naturally no one will lag behind, and the crowd will rush up, slashing and chopping with scimitars in their hands, and a scuffle begins.
"Where's the meat? What about meat? In the midst of the chaos, there was also a loud roar, which spread far away, attracting the attention of others.
"Meat?" At this moment, meat has infinite charm, and when you hear this, who can control it, many people flock to it.
In this way, the scuffle became bigger and bigger, at first only thirty or twenty people were involved, then hundreds, then hundreds, thousands, thousands, ten thousands, more than 10,000 people, 20,000 people......
The chaos spread like a rolling snowball, soon involving tens of thousands of people and growing.
After the praise of the Emperor, he was shocked, this is the biggest chaos in these days, if it is not suppressed, the entire city will be in chaos, and at that time, if the Tang army attacks again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
He immediately made a decision and ordered the army to be dispatched to suppress it.
The army received the order, rumbled out, and opened fire on the chaotic crowd.
For a while, chickens and dogs jumped in some cities, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the sound of crying fathers and mothers sounded.
In the Tang Army's camp, the Tang Army, as always, ate meat, drank wine, slept, chatted, farted, played polo, and lived a leisurely life.
The Tang army guarding immediately pricked up his ears, his eyes widened, and he looked at the city, only to hear the sound of shouting and killing in the city.
The general on duty was overjoyed, turned around and ran towards Geshuhan's tent, shouting from afar: "Great joy, great joy." "Rushed into Goshuhan's handsome tent.
"What's the happy thing?" Before Ge Shuhan could speak, the generals who were drinking and eating meat here asked each other loudly.
"There is chaos in the city, all of them are in chaos, and they are all in chaos." The general on duty reported loudly: "Marshal, hurry up and send troops, take this opportunity to capture Luo in one fell swoop." ”
"Messed up?" The generals' eyes lit up, and they all stood up, and asked Brother Shuhan for his life: "Dashuai, hurry up and give an order." ”
"Hmm." Ge Shuhan snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "Nonsense." Dare to raise the fighter again, slash. ”
The shouts were like thunder, like cold water poured on their heads, and the enthusiasm of the generals was gone, and they were extremely surprised, staring at Ge Shuhan speechless.
"Overseer." The generals looked at Li Changguo and asked Li Changguo for help.
Li Changguo grabbed a leg of mutton in his left hand, held a wine glass in his right hand, and did not raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "Didn't you hear the words of the handsome?" ”
"Prison Army, this is a good opportunity to break the city." Some generals couldn't help but argue.
"A good opportunity? Why didn't I see it? I only saw that the siege of the city at this time was bound to be heavy casualties. Li Changguo took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and said slowly.
"The Tang Dynasty man is not afraid of death." The generals raised their heads and chests, and roared like thunder.
"That's enough." Li Changguo threw the leg of mutton and put the wine glass down, Huo Ran stood up, glanced at the generals, his eyes were shining, and he said coldly: "No one in the Tang Dynasty will die, but death is as heavy as Mount Tai and lighter than a feather. Our siege of the city is to consume Tibet, weaken its combat power, and reduce our casualties. It's just been a mess, you can't wait? ”
That's right, if the Tang army attacked the city at this time, it would certainly be able to break the city in one fell swoop, but the problem is that it will pay a lot of price, and it must not be done. The purpose of the siege was to weaken Tibet and reduce casualties. At this time, chaos had just appeared, and Tibet was far from being weak, and it was not the time to attack.
The generals did not dare to speak anymore.
It took three days for the chaos in the city to subside.
