Gu Xuan's hands are upright, his aura is lofty, although his face is incomplete, but he does not have too much viciousness, but naturally exudes a majestic bearing, standing on the street, just like an emperor coming to the ground, touring the territory, I don't know what he looks like, I am afraid that he will be the real master of this place, unconsciously he will be a little shorter, and even will regard himself as a courtier and a guest, and they all say that they are born from the heart, this kind of grace and bearing can not be imitated, not how many big people have seen, but also to learn to be decent, that is only similar to the shape, not the essence, and will not make people feel impressed when they see it, thinking about his growth in these days, it is indeed not a little bit。

After he finished asking this sentence in a deep voice, he saw a column of twelve people, holding a scimitar at his waist, walking neatly and calmly from the front, they are all Rakshasa warriors, and they are also the elite of these 20,000 people, and the momentum is different from others, among these twelve people, there are also a few local middle-aged people, looking at their appearance, they should all be officials here, but the official uniforms are a little shabby, and the color on them is very dark, and even the birds on the complement are no longer godless, it seems that it has been passed on for a long time.

Although the leader has always been half-hanging his head, like a frustrated captive, he didn't need to be pushed by others, so he took the initiative to walk up together, and when he saw Gu Xuan at this moment, he didn't think about it, he bowed his head and said: "Zhou Maoming, the county commander of Wushan County, has seen the prince." ”

The city at the foot of the city, in fact, can not be regarded as a formal checkpoint, so it is the same as Huangsha County, with the county system, which has county orders, county magistrates and other positions, and just now on the city tower to lead the troops to resist the enemy, ready to defend the city of the poor old man, the same as Zhu Dachun, can only be regarded as the chief of the county government six rooms, can not be regarded as a captain general, for various reasons, the country is here, I did not think of setting up a formal pass, so this place is not like Yanzhou Juyong Pass, but more like Kanmeng'an, half of the pass and the city as one.

What's even more interesting is that this person is obviously a courtier of the country, and when he met, he took the initiative to call him a subordinate official, and also called Gu Xuan a prince, and he also made a big gift to meet his boss.

It may be that you are born and afraid of death, this is also human nature, it may be to save the lives of people in the city, so you don't dare to put on an attitude of seeing death as home to anger the other party, or it may be that you can't do anything, the disparity is too great, so you naturally give up resisting, after all, many times, you can do your best, you don't have to deliberately send death, in the name of total loyalty, that are all selfish and selfish people who don't care about the safety of others, only care about their own officials before their death, and their reputation after death, it is more likely that the other party sees that the army of the people of Liang is pressing, thinking that the front line has been defeated, and the heart is like numbness, and if you think about it, you will be disheartened, and you will temporarily lose the idea of resisting。

Gu Xuan didn't care so much, he looked at the other party, his eyes were cold, but he didn't want to take the initiative to put too much pressure on the other party, just said lightly: "I am the king of Daliang Hedong County, you are just the county order of Jiupin, and it is also the etiquette to visit this king, there is no need to say more, this king ordered you to quickly bring people to move the surplus grain in the city, as long as you take care of the soldiers under this king, this king can allow you to keep the whole city safe and sound." ”

Lying in front of him all the time, respectful, and completely afraid to get up, this county magistrate who called himself Zhou Maoming trembled when he heard this, but he still didn't dare to raise his head, his heart was bitter, and he could only reply stubbornly: "I don't dare to deceive the prince, but in the city, there is really no surplus food left." ”

After all, for this war, the defense of the country was mobilized throughout the country before, not only did he take out the grain stored in previous years, but also searched everywhere for the accumulation of savings from all over the country, and this is naturally no exception.

Gu Xuan sighed slightly in his heart, in fact, he also knew this, at least seven or eight points were true, but war is war, war is unsympathetic, now the situation is unknown, whether the front line can be fought or not is a problem, he simply does not have the energy and qualifications, in this case, he still sympathizes with the people of other countries, and the people under his own command don't care, but they want to help others, such people are just hypocrisy.

"Is there really no food left in the city?"

He looked at the other party, and asked rhetorically with a slight accent.

Zhou Maoming, who was lying on the ground with the gift of throwing his five bodies to the ground, suddenly kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said firmly: "That's true, the prince knows it!"

"Ridiculous!"

Gu Xuan was suddenly furious, seeing his expression of anger, the soldiers around him instantly pointed the weapons in their hands at Zhou Maoming, who was kneeling in front of him, and the people around him were all taken aback when they saw this, and many of them even fell directly to the ground, looking at everyone here with a look of despair, their legs and feet were weak, and they couldn't stand up.

"If there is no surplus food, how can you survive, can't you rely on drinking the northwest wind?"

Gu Xuan said, pointed to the Rakshasa clan behind him, and sneered: "This king also knows who these people are, if there is no surplus food, they don't mind eating people to satisfy hunger, but I don't know how many people can be fed with this body of Lord Zhou, boiled into minced meat soup?"

Cannibalism is an absolute taboo, although whether it is a lack of food and grass in wartime, or in the famine years when natural disasters and abuse, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but when it comes to it, few people dare, because once it is done, it is tantamount to becoming a public enemy of the human race, and the hypocrisy of the human race lies precisely in this, many things can only be done secretly, but can not be put on the table to say.

After saying this sentence, many people were already so frightened that they urinated, their faces turned pale, and they didn't know what to do.

Their city, not far from the edge of the desert, for these black-faced Rakshasa clan, not only have heard of it, but occasionally see some wandering teams, just not much, but also know the other party's habits, Ru Mao drinks blood, raw cannibalism is commonplace, the other party even calls them "two-legged sheep", will be put in their own market as livestock to sell, so they don't believe that the other party is just talking, really to what point, the end can be imagined, so many soldiers and horses, the whole city combined, maybe enough people to eat, right?

Zhou Maoming gritted his teeth, his hands were too the ground of the bluestone slab, and in the end he almost cut out the flesh and blood, he made up his mind and quickly replied: "Lord Ming, there is indeed no surplus food in the city, if the prince wants to supply the army, he has to go outside the city!"

Cities all over the country, whether it is a town, or a county seat, or a county town, a state city, and even the capital of the center of a country, in fact, the real size is limited, they are more just a symbol, or a central institution set up by the imperial court in a region, is the place where the imperial court does business, but also the place of business, the place of transit materials, but the people who live in the city, in fact, there are not many, most of the people live outside the city, not only because they can't afford to buy land, they can't afford to build houses, but also because the arable land is outside the city, to plant crops on a large scale, it is impossible to have such a big place in the city, so the general army is good, or the imperial court's own people want to loot supplies, they must go to the outside of the city to go door to door, village by village to sweep the past, the things in the city are often just some valuable gold and silver, the rich in the city, there are basically estates outside the city, good things will not be placed here.

Of course, Gu Xuan knew about these situations, and as soon as he raised his eyes, the two Rakshasa warriors on the opposite side understood, and immediately reached out and pulled Zhou Maoming up from the ground.

"This king is not familiar with this place, since you proposed the solution, then you will lead the way. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Lan Yunxuan and said, "Trouble Mr. Lan, the people in this city, one person can hand over half of the food at home, leave half of it, and give them a way to live." ”

Even if it wasn't for Gu Cang's previous message, he wouldn't really kill in a frenzy, unless it was a battle with the patriotic army, it would be impossible to massacre innocent people in large numbers, at most it would just destroy some major places.

Lan Yunxuan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The prince is benevolent and righteous, unparalleled in the world!"

Gu Xuan didn't care how he patted his ass, turned his head and instructed in Rakshasa language: "The people from the first to fifth battalions will follow this king, the people from the sixth to tenth battalions will continue to stay outside the city and set up sentry, and the rest will obey Mr. Lan's command!"

In order to facilitate the command, the 20,000 people were divided into one to twenty battalions by Gu Xuan, and the establishment of one battalion was 1,000 people, which was also the same as the original establishment of Da Liang.

Everyone promised in unison, and naturally there were heralds rushing to the rear to convey Gu Xuan's order.

Although the surrounding people couldn't understand the Rakshasa language, they probably knew it now that as long as they took the initiative to hand over half of the food, the other party should let them go, and they breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had survived in the end, but they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The rich families in the city are okay, but how much surplus food can other ordinary people have at home?

Generally speaking, it is a very good family to have a reserve for half a year, not to mention that the imperial court has asked people to come and loot two waves before, and it has not slowed down, and it has only been a long time, and they have encountered the enemy to continue to squeeze them, in short, no matter who they are, they seem to belong to the group of people who have been harvested.

The so-called nobodies are little people like them, who are wantonly played with by fate, and their lives never seem to be in their turn to be in control.

A cold wind blew, and everyone was even more sad, and now the weather is not warm, and in the next winter, even if there are no other waves on the way, it will be extremely difficult to get through, and I don't know how many people will fall into the cold wind.

Gu Xuan turned over and got on the horse, subconsciously looked left and right, as far as his eyes could see, there was a mixture of joy and sorrow, joy is the joy of life, sadness is the sadness of life, living is a very important thing, but for the people, it is indeed a too tired and tired thing, many times, even a kind of slow torture, but what can he do, now he can only pull the reins lightly and lead people to walk slowly outside the city.

Seeing too much suffering in the world, he will not get used to it, nor will he be numb by it, he will try to do the best he can, such as now, try not to disturb these people, try not to deprive them of all the hope of life.

At the same time, what he wishes in his heart will only become stronger, thinking about the beautiful world depicted by Gu Cang before leaving, everyone is born equal, there is no war, no killing, no oppression, no discrimination, everyone loves each other, builds a beautiful world together, resists evil together, each does his best, takes what he needs, everyone is rich, everyone is like a dragon, what a transcendent world, and the ancient Confucian sages depicted, there are similarities, especially the human misery that he opened his eyes to see here, the pitiful things that happened to these poor people, he is willing to pursue that kind of world at all costs。

The man's sigh, the woman's low cry, and the child's ignorance are like a hammer, knocking on his heart one by one, he can't speak, he can only comfort himself, the sacrifice at this time is the foreshadowing of the future beauty, which is the inevitable cause and effect.

It's just that he doesn't understand that no matter what rises or falls, the people are suffering, in the Canghai realm, it seems that it has never changed for thousands of years, maybe some things have really changed, or maybe they have just changed into a better-looking and more acceptable skin.
