Chapter 272: Survival

In 878 AD, Wang Xianzhi died in battle, and all the soldiers came to Huangchao, who established himself as the Yellow King and was called the general of the sky.

Huang Chao, the general of the sky, led the army to continue the offensive and continue the massacre.

But now Huang Chao is becoming more and more silent, his face is getting paler and paler, and his body looks very heavy, as if he is carrying a big mountain all the time.

The killing on his body weighed him down, and the blood in his hands had turned into substance.

Yes, in Huang Chao's eyes, his hands were always covered with blood, and every night as soon as he closed his eyes, he would hear the terrible howl of the soul in his ears.

The number of soldiers and horses increased day by day, and the number of people killed also increased exponentially, because they had to live.

embarking on the road of resistance is doomed to the future of their group.

They walked all the way to kill all the way, walked all the way to kill all the way, and burned everything along the way.

Thousands of miles of red land, thousands of miles of bones.

The bodies of those who died could even be piled up to make a Tarzan.

Countless people died at their hands, and countless karmic killings weighed on Huang Chao's shoulders.

Huang Chao ....... It's painful to live.

Every day when you open your eyes, you see blood, you see corpses, and every night when you close your eyes, the people you killed will come to you for their lives, and they will shout and scream in your ears.

Millions of unjust souls are pressed on you, and every step you take is equivalent to walking with millions of unjust souls!

But he survived in the end.

And this bloody and carnage of the Yellow Nest Rebellion continues.

At that time, it was not called the Yellow Nest Uprising, it was called *.

*。

........

"General, do we have to kill like this?" Xiao Meng Kai stood in the middle of the corpses of the people all over the ground and asked Huang Chao.

The surrounding group of peasants, the group of rebels with blood-stained knives in their hands, were also looking at Huang Chao.

The confused and overwhelmed eyes converged on Huang Chao's body.

The sad eyes were speechless.

They are all confused, they are all sad.

People killed too much, and did not turn them into a bunch of war machines without any feelings.

Opposite...... They are still slowly extending in the opposite direction.

Looking at the sad eyes of those peasants, Huang Chao lowered his head and said hoarsely: "We, we have to live." ”

The rebels bowed their heads at the same time and ....... They silently picked up the belongings of those people, they picked up the rations of those people, and followed Huang Chao to continue to the distance, and continued to ...... Heading for an unknown future.

Don't want to die, live to live.

.......

After Wang Xianzhi's death, Huang Chao led his army north again and fought Keyi Prefecture.

Standing outside Yizhou City, Huang Chao saw 20,000 Tang officers and soldiers who had laid down their arms and surrendered, and there were still 200,000 unarmed people in Yizhou City at this moment.

Looking at the gray-faced officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and then at the officials beside him who seemed to be asking for surrender, Huang Chao on the war horse closed his eyes tiredly, "It's all buried." ”

"You ......." The official who came to ask for surrender had a blue face, pointing at Huang Chao and couldn't say a word.

Huang Chao looked at him, "I regret it, I don't want to spare your life, is that okay?" ”

"Traitor! You don't have to die well! The official let out a long howl, but unfortunately, after saying this, a huge head fell to the ground.

Zhu Wen wiped the knife in his hand and spat disdainfully, "Don't surrender if you have the ability!" Dare to scold my general, looking for death! ”

After speaking, Zhu Wen urged the war horse and came to Huang Chao, with a sneer on his face: "General." ”

Huang Chao nodded and said to Zhu Wen, "Today, you and your men are the first to enter Qizhou, right?" Great, now you can take your people into town. ”

"Zhu Wen, thank you, General!" Zhu Wen hurriedly hugged his fist to Huang Chao, and was the first to enter the city, okay, he could be the first to rob the woman and the silver, oops, I heard that the wife of the Taishou in this city looks like a Peugeot, and you can taste it in a while.

Just when Zhu Wen was still thinking about how to burn and loot when he entered the city for a while, Huang Chao had already come to a half-old child, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, Huang Chao smiled, and said softly: "Tell the other generals that we will rest here for a few days, and then we will go to Puzhou." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Meng Kai, who was dressed in armor, nodded seriously.

After speaking, Huang Chao looked at Zhu Wen again, and said expressionlessly: "In a few days, the finishing work will be handed over to you to deal with, and everything that can be taken away will be taken away." ”

Zhu Wen was stunned, and then asked in disbelief: "General, general, you, do you mean that this Qizhou City is all of it?" ”

Huang Chao nodded tiredly, "Yes, all, move faster, we don't have so much time to waste." ”

"No...... Promise. Zhu Wen shivered all over, looking at the back of Huang Chao leaving, Zhu Wen only felt that there was a cool air on the soles of his feet rushing to his temples.

Although he has been joining the Yellow Nest team for more than a year, although he has seen the rebels slaughter the people and rob everything countless times in the past year.

But that's because they have to do it, and if they don't rob the people, they're going to starve to death.

But today....... Huang Chao actually wanted to slaughter 200,000 people in a huge city.......

Zhu Wen swallowed deeply, feeling a heartfelt fear and yearning for this man.

A casual sentence can decide the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people....... Horror is horror, but it's also enviable, isn't it?

.......

Four days later, pray for the slaughter of Zhou.

The 200,000 people of the city were all beheaded.

Layers of corpses were pushed all over the city, and it is rumored that even after decades, there are still people who have fished out human bones from the wells of Qizhou City.

Six days later, Puzhou was broken, and 150,000 soldiers and civilians were all buried alive.......

Killing, Huang Chao took his soldiers and horses to kill all the way, leaving endless bones, wherever they went, there was no grass, even after a few years, the cities and countryside that were slaughtered by the Huang Chao rebel army, there was no half of a figure.

He has brought indelible pain to the land of China.

........

"General, the food and grass in the army....... Not much. "Meng Kai, who has followed Huangchao to fight in the north and south for seven or eight years, has grown into a strong young man, standing in Huangchao's handsome tent, his face is extremely ugly.

Huang Chao, who was sitting alone in front of the handsome tent, paused for a moment, and then said, "Did you send someone to find it nearby?" ”

Meng Kai shook his head, "We have sent everything that can be sent, and we have also found everything that can be found, but ...... But no, nothing, we have been here in this area of Anhui a few years ago, and now there are only some hungry people left in this area, and we really can't find any food and grass, even ...... Not even the bark of the tree can be found. ”

Huang Chao was silent.

Without grain, the Central Plains has now reached the point where it is impossible to grab grain.

Huang Chao smiled, hehe, it seems that he has to do this.

I'm used to it, I'm really used to it, although there are some things I don't want to do, but I can't help it, as long as I start this way, then even if I don't want to do it anymore, I have to do it.

Huang Chao lowered his head and commanded Meng Kai in a heavy voice, "Aren't there still some disaster victims in the nearby villages?" Handful...... Get them. ”

Meng Kai was stunned, and after a while, he asked incredulously, "General...... You, do you mean ......."

Huang Chao smiled bitterly, "It's cruel, isn't it?" But it can't be helped, are you going to let me watch my brothers starve to death? ”

With no food, not even grass bark to eat, this is the Yellow Nest rebels, who spent most of their uprisings worrying about their livelihoods.

They are a group of rebels who are hated by everyone, in this world, the common people annoy them, hate them, the government sends troops to exterminate them every day, they have no friends, they only have themselves.

Huang Chao has fought in the north and south all his life, but it is better to say that he is trying to make his brothers eat well.

There's no food here, and the government is about to call, so let's change the next place.

There is no food in this place, okay, then change another place, find a place with food, and find a place without officers and soldiers.

The march route of the Yellow Nest rebel army, in fact, ........ It is a road to survival full of despair and confusion.

It's the same, it's still exactly the same, this group of people first revolted to have enough to eat, and now, it's still to eat enough.

Reign supreme?

It's too far away, too dreamy, and it is impossible for a group of peasants to have such an unrealistic idea.

They just want to eat and live.

The people live on food.

Looking at these five words now, it really makes people's hearts a little heavy.

........

Listening to Huang Chao's words, Meng Kai lost his mind for a moment, and a smile finally appeared on his young face, "General, do you remember a truth you told me when we first met a few years ago?" ”

Meng Kai raised his head and looked directly into Huang Chao's eyes, "General, you said that this is a world of cannibalism, if we don't eat people, others will come to eat us, now ....... It's just that I really did these two words, after all....... After all, we don't want to die, we don't want to be starved to death. ”

"So, we have to do this, even if we don't want to, but there is no way, we have to live, we have to live." Huang Chao stood up and patted Meng Kai's shoulder abruptly, this young man with a childish face finally couldn't help but lie in Huang Chao's arms and cry quietly.

Cannibalism, that's cannibalism! Eat exactly the same people as they are, eat their fellow brothers.

But there is no way, if they don't eat, they will really starve to death!

This is why the Yellow Nest is known as the Man-Eating Demon King.

Because there was no food, because the late Tang Dynasty was full of war, the people were displaced, there was no one to farm at all, there was no food at all!

They also don't ....... at all There is no food to grab.

What if there is no food? Could it be that hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people who unyieldingly rebelled against their fate, starved to death like this?

There will be no promise, and these people who have become accustomed to resistance will never agree.

They don't want to starve, because they've all experienced what it's like to starve, they've all experienced what it's like to starve to death and die of weakness.

That kind of taste...... No one wants to experience it a second time.

So....... They can only eat people, they can only eat the people.

Let alone....... It's a cannibalistic world, isn't it?

.......

Crying enough, Meng Kai left the embrace of Huang Chao, looked at his general, a smile appeared on his immature little face, he choked up and said, choked up and asked, "General, you said we ...... Can you see it? ”

Huang Chao's heart twitched.

Forcing himself to put a smile on his face, Huang Chao touched Meng Kai's face and said, "What do you think?" ”

Meng Kai nodded vigorously, "We will definitely be able to, as long as there are generals, we will definitely be able to live to see that prosperous age, and live to see that prosperous era where we don't have to eat tree bark or grass roots." ”

Huang Chao closed his eyes so that tears would not welled up.

"Yes, you can see it, you will see it! But before you can do it, you have to live, live for me, live for me to lead you to that prosperous world. ”

At this moment, Huang Chao secretly asked in his heart.

Can you?

Can it really?

Can I really show them that heyday?

........

Two days later, the Huangchao army ran out of food.

Two days later, hundreds of thousands of rebels who had been hungry for two days, hungry and blind, and hungry who couldn't even grab their weapons, were lying in their tents, and suddenly smelled a burst of meat.

"Brush!" Smelling the long-lost smell of meat, more than 100,000 people rushed out of the tent together and came to the place where the meat was fragrant.

They thought that their general had found food, they thought they would be able to eat right away, but ...... When they came to the position of the former army, they saw a large cauldron with stewed meat in the pot, which was very fragrant, but some people spit it out in public.

Because next to the pot there is a bloody white bone.

The bones of the human being, the skull on the bones are intact, and even other things on the body that cannot be eaten are still preserved, such as the internal organs....... Can...... But this also tells almost everyone what is stewed in the pot.

"Vomit ......" The sound of retching is endless.

"Who did this, is it crazy, actually stewed human flesh!"

"You're not afraid of thunder and thunder!"

"After eating these, are we still human?!"

Just as the soldiers shouted loudly, a figure came in front of them.

Seeing the comer, everyone fell silent at the same time, silently watching him, silently watching the general who had led them from a group of lowly pariahs to brave warriors.

When this person gave them a full meal, it was this person who told them that people don't have to wait for death, and people can resist.

Huang Chao stood in front of his soldiers, looked at the human flesh stewed in the pot next to him, Huang Chao stretched out his hand very straightforwardly, and said three words, "No food." ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and the next moment, everyone's eyes widened.

I saw Huang Chao take out a piece of boiled thigh meat from the pot, put it in his mouth, bite it down, and eat it again.

He ate in silence and hard, chewing on the human flesh in his mouth so vigorously that it seemed that only by chewing so hard could he forget what he was eating now.

Finally, Huang Chao finished eating and wiped his mouth.

Five more words were spoken.

"But I don't want to die."

But I don't want to be starved to death!
