But not long after the resistance, some people couldn't stand it, one after another, some officials stripped naked to have a meal, and other officials saw it, and they were also greedy, others have food to eat, they can't be stupid and starve to death, take it off!

Okay! Such an absurd dinner of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State also lasted for a while, and they were frank with each other, which can be regarded as "deep suffering".

But Fu Jian didn't expect that even if they tightened their belts like this, they still didn't improve, and the food plummeted rapidly, and even the rats were eaten, and there was really nothing to eat!

Chang'an City, it's really out of food!

What can I do? If you don't give food to others, who will help you fight!

Fu Jian simply put his heart sideways, there is no food to eat, and rats have nothing to eat, so let's eat people!

Pity those eunuchs and palace maids, one can't go into battle to fight, and the other is not a high-ranking official, so they can only become a meal on the plate of Fu Jian and hundreds of officials.

The emperor has nothing to eat, and the common people are even more miserable, and when people are driven to a dead end, they are already almost crazy, and they no longer care about any human nature!

The people in the city, each of them changed their children to eat, in order to have food and clothing!

Fu Jian heard that it was painful, thinking that he was a generation of masters, and he worked hard for the people to live a prosperous and happy life, and today he let his subjects come to such a dead end, he blamed himself!

Fu Jian is anxious, Murong Chong is even more anxious, he really has no way to take the people of the Qin State, I think that your Qin State has come to the point of running out of food like this, and if you don't come to surrender, he is really devastated!

Yang Ding felt that this way of eating was not a long-term solution, so after thinking about it, he proposed to Fu Jian, "Your Majesty, there is no grain in the city, and the minister guesses that it is now the season of the grain harvest in Bailuyuan, and the minister asks for the order to lead thousands of elite horsemen to harvest the grain." ”

As soon as he heard that the grain was ripe, Fu Jian seemed to smell the aroma of food, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva silently, and his deflated stomach began to rumble again.

"This is a method, but I'm worried that going to Bailuyuan to harvest grain is tantamount to snatching food from Murong Chong's tiger's mouth, I'm afraid there will be a hard battle!"

"The minister knows, but he really can't bear to watch the soldiers and people in the city starve to death! I'd like to give it a try! Yang Ding insisted on asking for his life.

Fu Jian thought about it, he had lost his general Zhang Oy, and he couldn't lose Yang Ding anymore, but the problem of grain and grass in the city was not solved for a day, and before Murong Chong attacked, they themselves starved to death.

Maybe he was forced into a desperate situation, but at this time, he actually put down all benevolence and righteousness and thought of a way to preserve his strength.

"I know that you are heroic, but the defense of Chang'an is inseparable from you, and we can't afford to lose any of the consequences."

"Well, then, go to the city to recruit soldiers, and see how many men are willing to go out of the city to get food. If they can come back with food, that's the best, if not, our losses will be smaller. ”

When Yang Ding heard this, he thought it was inappropriate on the spot, how could he let ordinary people be cannon fodder, Your Majesty, what's wrong! Is it still the same benevolent monarch back then?

"Your Majesty, how could they be the opponents of the Yan Army? I'm afraid not......"

Fu Jian said unhappily, "This is an extraordinary time, and the military and the people must unite as one in order to get through this difficulty." ”

Could it be that the unity of the army and the people is to let the people be our cannon fodder?

"Your Majesty......"

Yang Ding wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Fu Jian impatiently, "Okay, it's decided, you either go to the city to recruit troops, or don't go to Bailuyuan, anyway, there are dozens of people in the palace, enough to eat for a month." ”

Yang Ding saw that Fu Jian was so resolute, and he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to retreat first.

"Minister, let's recruit troops."

He really couldn't stand it, and the days of eating human flesh again, every bite was like torture.

Yang Ding did not expect that the process of recruiting soldiers was much smoother than he imagined, and the people of each family responded one after another, and they did not know whether it was the desire for food or the loyalty to their family and country, and soon gathered 2,000 people.

Yang Ding chose to disobey Shengming this time, he personally took the lead in the battle, and transferred another 1,000 cavalry of the Qin army, together with 2,000 strong men, to take advantage of the night to go out of the city in the dark.

I will take you out, and I will definitely bring you back safely, this is my promise!

Murong Chong was such a shrewd person, how could he not have expected the Qin army to fight this Bailu Yuan grain.

He ordered the soldiers to harvest slowly every day, and there was still a small part of the field full of grain, so that there was bait and could lure the Qin army into the set.

As soon as Murong Chong saw Yang Ding's irregular team, it was not a trained Qin army at first glance, it seemed that Fu Jian was really anxious to push the civilians to the battlefield, he smiled slyly, and suddenly had a plan.

Yang Ding led the temporarily formed army to Bailuyuan, and when he saw that there was still a small part of the fertile land, he was overjoyed, fortunately, the sky will not die in my Great Qin!

Just when he ordered his subordinates to go down to harvest with cloth bags, suddenly the grass around them moved faintly, and Yang Ding immediately became vigilant, "Wait first!" ”

At this moment, a strong wind passed, and the nervous hearts of the soldiers suddenly relaxed again, it should just be just the wind blowing the draft.

But Yang Ding still looked cautious, and he waited quietly in place for a while. Suddenly, another gust of wind swept through, blowing the grass as if it were blowing the bottom, just in time to reveal the tips of arrows hidden in the darkness.

"Not good! Ambushed! ”

"Retreat!" Yang Ding immediately turned over and shouted loudly.

Where was the Yan army willing to give up the duck in his hand, and rushed to kill from behind all the way, chasing after the Qin army and fleeing.

When Yang Ding returned to the city in embarrassment, he lost 300 horsemen and 800 strong soldiers, and only more than 1,000 people escaped. Yang Ding blamed himself, and immediately disbanded the strong soldiers and let them go home.

A thin young man hid in the crowd, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly receded in the night.

In November, the gate of Chang'an was opened, and hundreds of disciples dressed in dark blue Taoist robes transported the Dan furnace, from Chang'an, the Yan army was under the city, did not dare to attack, and respectfully sent the Taoist priest.

Seeing this, Su Qinchong couldn't help but whisper to Gao Gai next to him, "I don't believe in this ghost and god's theory, it's a pity not to use a great opportunity to attack." ”

Gao Gai looked at Murong Chong and didn't dare to answer.

Han Yan was standing next to Su Qinchong, he had already rushed over from Luoyang at this time, although he was a few days late, but at least he came. Seeing Su Qinchong's puzzled look, he couldn't help but persuade, "General Su doesn't know, this Longxi priest Wang Jia is famous, it is rumored that he is proficient in foreign arts, and he can know the future, Qin people are gods." ”

"Really? I've heard a lot of charlatans, but I haven't seen a few gods. You see that he is carrying a Dan furnace today to engage in such a big battle, as for it? Su Qinchong obviously didn't have a good impression of this Wang Jia.

"I don't know if it's true or not, but this god-man effect is still here." Han Yan said with a smile, "Qin Guo Fu Jian, Yao Xiang Yao Chang, and our Royal Highness have all invited Wang Jia, but they were rejected by Wang Jia one by one. This month, Wang Jia entered Chang'an, and Fu Jian built a Taoist temple in front of the Taiji Hall for him. ”

In fact, he didn't believe it in his heart, but the benefits that this ghost and god theory could bring were still worth using.

"Today, he dismissed all the disciples, and specially ordered everyone to transport the Dan furnace to Songshan Mountain, in order to tell the gods in the sky, Fu Jian opened the gate of Chang'an without saying a word, as if he felt that with God's blessing, our Yan army would never dare to call. Even if he calls, he is destined to return, he is not afraid! ”
