30. Survival
Those wise people have already begun to think of another way, they take out all their utensils, but can hold water, mobilize the whole family, young and old, young and old, to run to Daze, northwest of the city, to get those smelly water, although the water stinks, but as long as he can live, he is good water,
After three days and three nights of fruitless appeals to the king, the people of the city rushed to Daze, even the family of Clarge, after all, no matter how noble or poor, if you want to live, you must have water.
The two sons of Yin Yi Sip are also mixed in the crowd of people who fetch water, and the common people, the same as other aristocratic eunuchs, the difference is that even if the people of his family grab water, they must try their best to maintain their demeanor, and it is understandable to say that the reason why the nobles are different from the commoners is that they have noble hearts, even if they are thirsty to death, they will not give up their reserves, the stinky water in Daze is only a life-saving elixir for the common people, for them, of course, it is still stinky water that is not even worthy of watering flowers, and the reason why they do this is completely out of consideration for sharing suffering with the people,
Because of Yang Hao's hint, the Yinyi Si family had stored enough water to support a year before the water stopped in the city, and he was really pretentious in doing so, but the family like him was not so lucky, because the water supply has always been stable, and in the Big Rock City, even in the imperial palace, most of them only store water for three days, and this water is not so much to cope with water cuts, but mainly for fire prevention, watering plants, and drinking for mules and horses.
The green is black, floating with all kinds of swollen dead corpses, exuding a disgusting fishy smell, the thick syrup-like Daze water has now become a treasure, in order to prevent the scramble from killing people, and also to put the distribution power in his own hands, the city lord Clarge sent his own guards to cut off all the roads leading to Daze, the old road was cut off, and the new road was immediately opened up, as a last resort, Clarge could only ask the governor Lu Meng to send troops together, build an earthen wall along Daze, and send heavy troops to guard it,
The new order only lasted for half a month and then it could not be carried out any longer, Daze dried up, and the silt at the bottom of the lake emitted a disgusting stench under the scorching sun.
After Daze dried up, the green in the city gradually became scarce, and there was no water to irrigate, and the flowers and trees planted in the clay pots and stone mortars gradually dried up and died, and by the beginning of July, the whole Dashi City was painted with the color of death yellow.
Because of the drinking of unclean water, the sick people in the city became more and more sick, and they vomited and diarrhea, and their faces turned yellow and green, and their bones were as thin as wood, and because of the lack of water and food, they became weak day by day, and at last they fell to the ground, and died with a whimper.
Not only the common people, but even the military camps became popular, and even the noble royal family,
It's time to talk to the Khitan people about the conditions, Yin Yi sipped the situation, he didn't come forward, and secretly encouraged a few elders to euphemistically reveal the meaning of the peace to the city lord Clarre, Clare did not agree, nor refused, so bitterly waited for three days, Yin Yi couldn't help but jump out by himself, when he walked to the door of Clarre's house, he regretted it again, immediately parked the sedan chair in a hidden alley outside the palace, and told the family to go back to the house to get a cloth bag, he took this cloth bag into the palace, and the cloth bag was a cucumber, Commonly known as dog's head melon, the melon flesh is thick and tough, not sweet, if in the past this kind of thing is not said to be royal nobles, even ordinary poor people do not take it to eat, its role is most of the time used to feed pigs,
But now it's different from the past, this unelegant cheap thing is now worth a hundred times, it is almost the only green food that can be found in the city, who makes the family drought tolerant,
Yin Yi Sip solemnly placed the dog-headed gourd, which was not much bigger than a fist, in front of Clarge, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect this cheap thing to have today." Hearing this, Clarre smiled bitterly, and immediately ordered the attendant to wash the melon, cut it in half, hold up half of it, and give it to the wrinkled attendant, saying, "Respect the old lady." Divide the rest into two, hold a piece in front of Yin Yisi, and smile: "You and I share it." ”
Yin Yi took a bite with tears in his eyes, and then it was difficult to swallow, but he ate it with relish, and said with laughter: "If you don't eat it, it's all mine." Then he pulled the half of Yinyi's sip in front of him, and Yinyi looked at the sweetness of his food, and his heart was not a taste, wiped a handful of tears, and asked the attendant: "When will the oracle rain rain." ”
The attendant shook his head with a bitter face, and without saying a word, he wiped his sweat with a sip of his sweat, clapped his hands and scolded: "This god really wants to kill people." ”
Hearing this, Clarre hurriedly stopped eating and drinking, and said, "There are gods three feet above the ground, so don't say such evil things." ”
Yin Yi snorted angrily: "He is not benevolent first, and he doesn't allow me to complain twice." ”
Clarre was eating melons, and when he heard the words, he exchanged tears, and said to Yin Yi: "What is my sin, God has punished me like this." ”
Yin Yi sobbed: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, what is the matter with the city lord." ”
Clarge said: "Having said that, what is the solution, and what can be done. ”
Yin Yi sipped and said: "If the city lord has an order, Yin Yi will die for a hundred years." ”
When she heard this, she wiped the tears on her cheeks with her sleeve and said with a smile: "Tribulation shows the truth, you are with me, how can I hide it from you, there is a sentence I have pondered in my heart for a long time, I can tell you today." ”
……
Yang Hao received a superstition from the city, and after thinking for a long time, he recruited Zhang Bozhong to come to see him, and the two of them agreed on a plan, so they recruited the generals in the army to come to see them, and while drinking and feasting, the content of the secret letter was made public.
Everyone was in an uproar, and Dazhi said: "Sure enough, the Heavenly Wolf Army came to the rescue, so what can I do." ”
Everyone also asked the same question, Yang Hao smiled and did not answer, Zhang Bozhong said: "What do you think?" ”
Du Long said: "If the Heavenly Wolf Army comes out of the hole, Lao Tzu takes his son, the son hooks his grandson, and the grandson hooks his great-grandson, and kills them in a swarm, the number will never be small, we have been here for a year, who is not tired, how to get him." ”
Bo Lai said: "I'm afraid of his mother, the Sky Wolf Army is not three-headed and six-armed, and it is not that he has never fought before, he dares to come, let's beat his mother head-on." ”
Du Long said: "You beat his mother, what is his father doing." ”
Bo Lai said: "Beat him." ”
Du Long said: "What about his son, grandson, great-grandson, daughter, son-in-law, three aunts and four brothers-in-law, all of them are here, what are you doing." Bo Lai waved his hand arrogantly and said, "Then let's have a pot end, I'm afraid of his mother." ”
Liu Pan kicked Bo Lai's buttocks, and scolded with a rough breath: "What means does your mother have, just this big breath, how many people are in the Sky Wolf Army, 300,000, and half of them are 150,000, kill your mother." ”
Zheng Huatai said: "Don't say half, 50,000 people are enough for us to have a headache, all battalions are very tired, there can still be battles there, commanders, military divisions, this battle can't be fought." ”
Dazhi said: "I don't advocate fighting." ”
Zhang Bozhong twisted his beard and smiled: "If you don't want to fight, people won't fight, there are really 50,000 Heavenly Wolf Army in front of you, what to do." ”
Bo Lai rubbed his ass and said, "If you can't fight, let's withdraw, I'm afraid that the goods in the city won't be able to chase after you." ”
Liu Pan glared at him and shouted, "Withdraw, just withdraw." ”
Bo Lai didn't dare to look at him directly, and said timidly: "If you can't fight, and if you are unwilling to withdraw, what should you do?" ”
Da Zhier slammed his fist and said, "Hateful, hateful, let's plant trees, he picks peaches, hateful, hateful." ”
Zheng Huatai glanced at Yang Hao, looked at Zhang Bozhong, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the big branch, the commander and the military advisor have a plan." ”
Liu Pan said: "If you have a plan, say it quickly, if you hold it like this, you won't be able to boil people to death." ”
Bo Lai muttered: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, the commander is not in a hurry, and the military advisor is not in a hurry." ”
Liu Pan roared angrily, pointed at Dongfang Qing and Dongfang Lan brothers and said, "Whoever punches this guy, I will give him a horse." Dongfang Lan said: "What's the use of horses, give me a few beauties in your camp, and I'll help you." ”
Liu Pan said with a smile: "Your baby's, the hair is not growing, what do you want to do with that goods." ”
Everyone laughed, and Zhang Bozhong suddenly said solemnly: "Laugh and laugh, everyone will clean up immediately after returning to the camp, divide the soldiers and horses into two groups, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be a battalion, and another battalion will be formed to guard the baggage, strong and good at fighting, and you will be directly under the control, and prepare to fight with his mother with a prancing horse and whip." ”
The crowd stood up and promised in unison,
Yang Hao advised: "If you come, you must be elite, don't be careless." ”
Da Zhier smiled and said: "I'm afraid of him, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, Lao Tzu will also gnaw a piece of his meat." ”
……
On that day, after Yin Yi Sip came out of the Clarge Mansion, he went straight back to the house, closed the four gates, and couldn't go out, and the secret agents around the Governor Lu Mengsa around his mansion couldn't find the famous hall for several days, and returned to Clarge, Clare heard it, and said to Lu Meng with a smile: "You look down on him, saying that he is a little hearty, I believe it, but he is a gutsless person, and now the city is still in the hands of you and me, he dares to act rashly and borrow his two guts." ”
Lu Meng pondered for a moment and said, "The lord really wants to ask the Uighurs. ”
Clarge said: "No, it's sad to pass this level. ”
Before Lu Meng could speak, he was stopped by Krare, and sighed helplessly, and said: "I don't know the disadvantages of this, I'm afraid this is the will of heaven." ”
Lu Meng said: "I'm afraid that Zhangxin Khan is powerless. ”
Clark Re laughed: "Don't underestimate him, he will have a way." ”
Clarge's envoy for help went out of the city through the secret passage, day and night, to the Uighur court, and was received by the Khan of Zhangxin, but did not dare to be self-dictatorated, but summoned all the elders to discuss the matter of sending troops, and did not want all the elders to oppose it in unison:
Elder Nayan said: "Dashicheng is called a vassal city, it is actually a country, I don't see his worship on weekdays, but when I am in danger, I want my son to fight for him, how can it be so cheap." ”
Elder Zhu Chu said: "The Khitan soldiers and horses are thriving, and it is appropriate to implement a restraint strategy, how can they make enemies for outsiders." ”
Elder Gyan said: "There is a great drought this summer, and there will be a white plague in winter, the Khan is not worried about the livelihood of the tribe, but he is worried about the life and death of the old enemy, the old man lived to be eighty years old, I don't know what the Khan means." ”
Elder Mu Long said: "Age attacked my northwest day and night, slaughtered all the tribes, cattle and sheep children, how many were plundered, the Khan said that the army was not enough and refused to be requisitioned, where did the soldiers come to fight with the Khitans today." ”
Zhangxin Khan was angry, and after returning to the Golden Horde, he lost his temper and whipped several servants and slaves, but he knelt down and asked why, Zhangxin Khan angrily scolded: "The old decay and misuse the country, the Huangjiasi, the border tribe, the poor and the widowed, the clan is not civilized; Ah Ge, a reckless villain, has courage and no heart, and has immeasurable bravery; I can endure what I am, Khitan, the trouble of the henchmen, if I don't get rid of it at this moment, the country will have no peace. ”
Kedun smiled and said, "I'm old and stubborn, why don't you ask Lord Dig Luo to discuss." ”
When the Khan heard this, he snorted disdainfully: "Dig Luo Be, your cousin, what can he do, but he can play a little clever." ”
Ke Dun explained softly: "He has been an envoy for many years, he is familiar with Shatuo, Khitan and Jiankun, and he listens to his words, whether to accept or not, it is not your Khan's decision. Because he saw that Zhangxin Khan did not send a right, Kedun signaled his personal female official to ask the prime minister to come to Dig Luo Be, Shaoqing came with the escort officer to report, and Di Luo Be's tent asked to see him, and Kedun then bowed to her husband to say goodbye,
Dig Luo Be's secret talk in the Zhangxin Khan's tent for an hour before coming out, it was getting late, Dig Luo Be's straight back home, his mansion is also built in the style of the Central Plains, carved beams and painted buildings, very luxurious,
There was a person in the study room of the side courtyard at this moment who was anxiously turning around, hearing that he was going back to the house, and he was busy asking to see him, and he changed into civilian clothes, and ordered someone to take him into the study, and when the man had finished dancing and saluting, Fang said: "You pack your bags, and you will go back to Dashicheng tomorrow, and ask your lord for a reward." ”
When the envoy heard this, he was overjoyed and asked, "I don't know which king is coming to lead the army, please show me the prime minister, so that I can return to my lord." ”
He smiled and said, "It's a red-haired, green-eyed king with a different surname, so don't slack off." ”
