Chapter 217: The Lonely City Trapped

After the colonel's report, Zhao Gao and the others entered Zhang Xun's Zhongjun tent with their heads held high. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw Zhang Xunduan, dressed in a Confucian shirt, sitting on the handsome seat. On his left side, there was Xu Yuan, a C-level historical figure, and Nan Jiyun, who was full of sickness, sat in the lower right position.

Under this, there are more than a dozen E-class historical figures arranged in two shifts in turn, and the guards around the military tent are also C-level or even B-level plot characters.

According to historical records, after the destruction of Suiyang City, a total of 36 people died following Zhang Xun, and they must have been here.

Zhao Gao didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down to make a big salute, but was supported by a plot character. He stood up, and at this moment a small colonel brought a square stool, and he humbly said a few words, and sat down at the bottom of the square table.

Mai Linglong and Lao Ba stood on either side of him.

"Meng Zhuangshi's prestige has long been like thunder, and when I saw it on the battlefield today, it really deserved its reputation!" Waiting for Zhao Gao to sit down, Zhang Xun put the book in his hand, stroked the tiger's whiskers under his chin with his right hand, and smiled at Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao hurriedly stood up and answered.

Don't look at Zhang Xunsi Swenwen in front of him, he speaks softly and slowly, but he is a real murderer who does not blink, when the military rations in Suiyang City are in an emergency, he can do this kind of thing by cooking and killing his favorite concubine as a military food distribution general.

In Chinese history, this is probably the only person who has received a positive evaluation for cannibalism.

Zhang Xun pressed his left hand, and Zhao Gao sat down again, he was able to get Zhang Xun's other eyes, which was the result of combining three factors.

His current legend degree is as high as five points, which is really thunderous for ordinary plot characters, and the effect on historical plot characters is worse, but it will also leave a deeper impression on these people; In addition, the completion of the first stage of this plot mission is too high, in addition to killing the number of rebels beyond imagination, the number of reinforcements entering the city is also much higher than history, this is a real military achievement, even if the meritorious one is an ordinary sergeant, Zhang Xun has to see the last side.

There is also a more important point that Zhao Gao still has a fief in the Tang Dynasty plot, which is the Pingyao County left over from the original plot world of the early Tang Dynasty, and can automatically produce 500 points per day. In the plot of the Tang Dynasty, it is tacitly accepted that he has the status equivalent to that of the Pingyao County Order.

In other words, Zhao Gao has an official status, and no matter how powerful Zhang Xun is, he has to follow the rules of officialdom.

Based on this, even if Zhao Gao has not made a meritorious achievement, he is completely different from other explorers who participate in the war as civilian rangers.

"Everything is under the orders of the commander!" Zhao Gao clenched his fists and made a martial artist gesture to express his position. Even Xu Yuan, the Taishou of Suiyang, automatically gave up the struggle for dominance to raise grain and grass armaments, and he was a county commander from other places, where did he have any qualifications to pick and choose.

In any case, his statement was still recognized by Zhang Xun, as a handsome, he was able to sit down and officially receive Zhao Gao, which was already beyond the norm, and it could be regarded as an honor. With Zhao Gao's current identity, the counselor military aircraft is barely enough, and it is really not qualified to let Zhang Xun be demoted to meet him.

After a simple discussion, Zhao Gao obtained an official position of "Counselor of the Army", and at the signal of the colonel next to him, he retired from the Chinese military tent.

The official position of "recording military counselors" can be large or small, and it can be said that it can be used as a staff officer for military aircraft, which directly affects the decision-making of the commander-in-chief; To put it mildly, his subordinates don't even have half a quota of subordinates, and they don't have the right to command soldiers, real bare-bones officers.

The result of this is that as soon as the counselor walked to the side of the barracks, a large number of young generals at all levels immediately came up to salute and say hello loudly, but before the counselor returned the salute one by one, these generals had already shouted and scattered, leaving the counselor with a smug face who raised his right hand and was stunned on the spot.

To put it bluntly, he is an idle official with a job but no power!

Zhao Gao can understand Zhang Xun's arrangement very well. As a foreign official, not to mention guarding against it at this time, Zhang Xun would not assign him the already small number of soldiers anyway, so he arranged such a position, anyway, it is now Suiyang City, and even the cooks need to go to the city to defend, not to mention any civilian joining the army, so even if the official position is higher, it doesn't matter.

At this time, Suiyang City has been besieged for more than half a year, and An Lushan also died last year. Now besieging Suiyang City is Yin Ziqi, the general under An Lushan's son An Qingxu, who has 130,000 regular troops under his command, and the number of other auxiliary soldiers is countless, and Suiyang City has been surrounded like an iron bucket for several months.

From January of the second year of Zhide, it is now August, a full eight months, the soldiers in Suiyang City have increased from more than 6,000 people at the beginning to less than 3,000 now (2,000 people are still reinforcements borrowed from Ningling by Nanjiyun just now), and the people in the city have also suffered countless casualties. There were empty houses and empty tents everywhere, and a small colonel who ordered casually arranged a few people to simply clean up a house near the city guard, which was used as Zhao Gao's temporary station.

It was night, and there was a cheer outside the barracks.

Beginning in July, Yin Ziqi once again increased his troops by tens of thousands, Suiyang City was completely cut off from the outside world, and the military food city in the city was in short supply, and the soldiers and civilians could only get a spoonful of brown rice per person every day, which was mixed with tree bark, tea, and paper-cooked cowhide for cooking.

The Tang army, which was distributed near Suiyang, waited and watched, neither transporting food supplies nor sending troops to help.

Suiyang City has become a de facto island.

This time, Nan Jiyun relied on his bravery, not only borrowed reinforcements from Ningling, but also plundered hundreds of cattle from the rebels, because he was too hurried when he entered the city, only about 300 heads were driven into the city, but it was enough for the soldiers to have a full meal.

Many soldiers couldn't wait to kill the ox, and after stabbing it a few times, they lay on the cow and sucked blood, while many more soldiers couldn't wait to cook the cow at all, and pulled the half-baked meat with a knife and began to send it to their mouths, and the cow became a pile of white bones in an instant.

These beef bones, which had been gnawed away, were brought to the people of the city, and after boiling them into soup, they barely deceived their stomachs.

With Zhao Gao's identity, it was relatively easy to get food from these sergeants, but the three of them couldn't bear to do it when they saw this tragic situation. There is a supply of water and food in the team space, these things can't be taken out and shared with the plot characters, but it's no problem to eat by yourself, naturally there is room to perform tricks, and you can even change your favorite flavors, but you just need to consume some points.

Mai Linglong said worriedly while eating the steak elegantly: "These hundreds of cows, according to this way of eating, will not last for a few days, why doesn't Zhang Xun come out to stop it and distribute it according to a more reasonable plan?" ”

"Look at the soldiers outside!" This time it was the eighth child who answered him, he stayed in the army for the longest time, and he had the most right to speak, "At this time, any wise general will not stop it, if he still wants the morale of the army, he must meet the needs of the soldiers this time, this is also a kind of venting!" ”

Zhao Gao glanced at Lao Ba, he either didn't speak or make a conclusion, and generally made a conclusion that he was sure of. Judging from the experience of leading soldiers, he and Mai Linglong may both be more intelligent and strategic than Lao Ba, but if they really work hard face to face, they will be eaten by Lao Ba and the soldiers in waves.

"Even if the thrift eats, it's just a delay of an extra day or two." Zhao Gao closed his eyes and tried to recall this history, because he didn't know that it was this plot world, so he didn't do his homework specifically for this plot.

"I remember that according to the historical records, it should be October that broke the city, and I can't remember the specific date, which means that there are still two months left, and it is really meaningless to have an extra day and a half day of military rations." Mai Linglong is also trying to remember.

"The ninth day of October." Lao Ba closed his eyes painfully and said, "I have studied in military history, in a few days, Zhang Xun will slaughter his concubine, Xu Yuan will also tie up all the servants in the family and eat them for the sergeants, then all the women in the city, then the old people, children, and finally the wounded soldiers, all of them will be eaten." ”

This passage made Mai Linglong, who was eating steak, nauseous. She was looking at the official history, and this section was omitted by His Holiness, so she looked at Zhao Gao with a surprised face, but saw him nod slowly.
