When Gao Qiqian heard Yang Sichang say that he would deduct Lu Xiangsheng's food and military salary, he was overjoyed and said: "I will not send a single soldier to Lu Xiangsheng and let him fight alone, on the contrary, I will persuade Wang Pu under his account to leave him quickly!" By then, he would have only a few thousand of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and how could he fight against a wolf-like enemy? He will be defeated! Even if he doesn't die, the emperor will have a gap in his heart because of his fault! ”

Yang Sichang smiled, gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes! Gao Jianjun is right! "Humph!" Gao Qiqian sneered twice and said: "Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng, you said that I killed the good and risked the year before last, and I also reported me to the emperor and wanted to bring me down, this time, I will let you know what kind of fate you will have if you do such a thing!" ”

And Yang Sichang was pinching his beard and laughing, because he knew that if Lu Xiangsheng fell, then he would win the emperor's favor. His biggest enemy is undoubtedly Lu Xiangsheng!

The officials of the Ming Dynasty often tried their best to fight for power and profit, and they used all their energy for internal fighting, and in the struggle for power and profit, they invisibly consumed the vitality of the country. This is one of the biggest drawbacks of the Ming Dynasty!

Chongzhen was exhausted for the sake of the government, he was so sleepy last night that he fell asleep on the imperial case.

Wang Chengen tiptoed to Chongzhen and put on a coat for him. He looked at the emperor, he couldn't help but shake his head, he was very helpless. Chongzhen, the emperor, did a very conscientious job, but his efforts were not proportional!

And those courtiers kept saying that they wanted to serve the emperor and be selfless, but what they said was contrary to what they did. No, Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses have not received military salaries for a long time, and the army has long been out of cooking. Without food, people have to eat to replenish their energy! Besides, they are still an army to fight.

No, the soldiers scattered to the trees, and they brought down the trees one after another, cutting the bark. The pot was full of bark, grass roots, and very little meat.

Zhang Biwu sat on the side, he was depressed, he saw that the food was cut off, and now the army had fallen into a desperate situation with no help and no food, and more importantly, their commander, Lu Xiangsheng was bent on death.

Zhang Biwu was depressed, thinking that he was really beyond his power at the beginning, and he actually wanted to change history, but looking back, he didn't have the ability to change it at all, and history was still moving towards the established trajectory bit by bit, bit by bit.

For this reason, Zhang Biwu has no energy to do anything. Now what he thinks about is whether to stay here and die with Lu Xiangsheng? Is it looking for a chance to escape? Escaped back to Guanyun Mountain and lived with Qin Huaiyu in the realm of the two of them. What the world, what to save the country and save the people, all ignored.

Zhang Biwu sighed, if he didn't know that Qin Huaiyu was pregnant with his child, maybe he would really choose to stay by Lu Xiangsheng's side, even if he died in battle, he wouldn't leave. Now he can't let go of Qin Huaiyu, can he let the child have no father in his mother's womb? The battle will be lost! No one can change all that!

Zhang Biwu looked at the people in the barracks, he sighed, he was very uncomfortable, these people would be in the wilderness.

Zhu Kezhen and Zhang Pan both knew that Zhang Biwu was in a bad mood and depressed, and they were also worried about it. They came over and asked Zhang Biwu to walk around with them. Zhang Biwu couldn't resist the persuasion of the two, so he had to walk away with them.

As soon as Zhang Biwu and his men passed by the garrison of the officers and men of Datong Town, they heard the officers and men of Datong Town complaining, and they kept scolding and complaining.

"Look! What we eat! It's not as good as a pig! Let's also track down the enemy's main force for a decisive battle! Lao Tzu's stomach is rumbling with hunger all day long, and he still makes Lao Tzu work hard, how is this possible! ”

"! Not to mention the food I ate! At least we can guarantee three meals a day, and now we have to have this meal without the next meal! What a day this is called! Lao Tzu lives on the tip of a knife! I can't even satisfy the most basic full meal! I really don't want to do it! ”

Many people shouted such slogans: "Let's go back to Datong Town!" "The worst part is that there are so many people responding to this slogan!" Right! Let the [Note] Master Bing take us back to Datong! ”

Note: The master of the soldiers was a lower-level officer in the Ming Dynasty, and there was also an honorific title given to the general soldier by ordinary soldiers.

When Zhang Biwu saw this, he shook his head, Lu Xiangsheng also knew about this situation, but Lu Xiangsheng had no choice. Wang Pu led the army to leave, and it was only a matter of time.

In Wang Pu's military camp, Wang Pu was discussing important matters with his main generals. Suddenly, a general came in and said, "My lord, it's not good! Zhang Biwu appeared in our barracks! ”

"Zhang Biwu appeared in our barracks?" Wang Pu couldn't help but be surprised! Pondering: "Could it be that Zhang Biwu knew that I was going to spread rumors that Datong Town was attacked by the Qing army, and I should take the opportunity to pull the army back to Datong?" ”

Wang Pu's eyes showed a fierce light, and he clenched his hands into fists, "If that's the case, I can only kill Zhang Biwu!" Leave now! ”

The general next to him said, "Lord Commander, I think he must have nothing to do!" If he still stays, then we will find a way to detain him, so as to quickly arrange to escape back to Datong! ”

Wang Pu also nodded, he didn't want to tear his face so quickly! Of course, he didn't want to stay here and die with Lu Xiangsheng.

Zhang Biwu passed by the garrison of the official army in Datong Town, he was even more upset, Wang Pu's army mutiny and fled was inevitable, and Lu Xiangsheng's situation was even more difficult. Zhang Biwu naturally didn't want to stay in the Datong Army's garrison anymore, so he left quickly and walked to the stove.

It is precisely like this, the spy who probed Zhang Biwu's whereabouts flew to Wang Pu, and Wang Pu also canceled the idea of wanting to detain and kill Zhang Biwu.

The Firehead is ready to cook. "It's coming! Here it comes! The two firehead soldiers arrived with a large basket of food, and when he saw it, he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "It's the bark and the grass roots again!" Alas! ”

The two soldiers smiled slyly and said, "Old man Che, what are you sighing for!" Look what this is! "They quickly ripped open the contents of the basket, and there were large chunks of meat that had been cut off.

The old man in charge of the car took a closer look, he saw it, and said in a lost voice: "Human flesh!" But one of his eyes flew quickly and covered his mouth, saying, "Don't make a sound!" "Yes! That's right! It is the meat of the belly, buttocks, and belly.

Another whispered, "Don't make a sound, old man!" This is the meat cut off from the carcass of a Tartar! Now most of our army is already slaughtering horses! If all the horses are slaughtered, then there will be no cavalry in our army, and how can we fight the Tartars! We eat tree bark and grass roots every day, and if we continue like this, how will the brothers have the strength to fight? How are we going to drive away the tartars? ”

These words make sense! The old man was silent. The person who covered the mouth of the old man also said: "Didn't the Tartars also eat the flesh of our Han people?" Isn't eating their meat a tooth for a tooth? What's more, because of the continuous natural disasters, the phenomenon of cannibalism abounds. If we don't eat our own people, we eat tartars, so why not? ”

When the person covering his mouth saw that the old man's face softened, he let go of his hand and said, "Even the master of the Taiwan production has heard of eating human flesh, and the master of the Taiwan production department has not turned a blind eye?" You're in charge, why bother with so much? ”

Makes sense! The person who covered his mouth said again: "As long as you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows what the way is!" Let the brethren have a fishy start! Many times the brothers did not eat rice! You can't see a single grain of rice! Not to mention meat! Have pity on the poor brethren. ”

"Alas!" The old man sighed helplessly, he knew that the whole army had been out of food for a long time, and now the army has not dispersed, all because of Lu Xiangsheng, they all have a heart of loyalty to the country, and they fought bravely under the inspiration of Lu Xiangsheng.

The old man nodded in agreement, and he would mix the meat into a pot and mix it with bark and grass roots.

Zhang Biwu found out about the movement here, he walked over, he heard it, and he couldn't help shouting: "What are you doing here!" "Eat human flesh! This really made Zhang Biwu angry! This was unacceptable to him.

Zhang Biwu even pulled out the Sizhao Sword, he wanted to behead these three people. At this moment, Zhu Kezhen, who was together, hugged Zhang Biwu and said, "Biwu!" Go to the other side! I have something to say to you! ”

Zhang Pan also came over, and he also helped Zhu Kezhen restrain Zhang Biwu. Zhu Kezhen said to the three of them: "Just when we didn't see it!" Do you know the way? Watch out next time! ”

With that, the three of them nodded and they got to work.

Zhu Kezhen and Zhang Pan pulled Zhang Biwu to the other side, Zhang Biwu was still struggling, he was very angry and said, "Why are you stopping me? For what! ”

Zhu Kezhen looked at Zhang Biwu and said, "Biwu! Natural disasters continue, and we are in a troubled world, where people eat people! Now that the army has been cut off from food, what else do you say? Tree bark and grass roots are hard to find, and then, not to mention the war, we will starve to death! What else to talk about driving away the Tartars? ”

Zhang Biwu shouted: "I don't care! I don't care! Zhu Kezhen persuaded again: "Biwu, when Zhang Xun was guarding Juyang, wasn't he also a cannibal?" But what can be done about it! If Juyang is lost, then Jianghuai, the land of taxation, Jiangnan is broken, and the Tang Dynasty will not have the capital to breathe, and it will not be able to successfully quell the rebellion in a few years! ”

"Defend a city, defend the world, fight millions of soldiers with thousands of soldiers, cover the Jianghuai, and frustrate its momentum. The world is immortal, whose merit is it? Zhang Xun! Yes! At that time, the food was long gone, and only people ate people, ate the dead, and then continue to fight again! Hold Juyang, so that the rebels can't take a step beyond the thunder pool! ”

"Zhang Xun has also borne the infamy of the ages, but so what? If it weren't for his unkindness, without his behavior. All benevolence, righteousness and morality are not worth a butcher's knife! There is no such thing as a group of moral gentlemen who have the life to accuse Zhang Xun! Extraordinary times should be done by extraordinary means! ”
