"Eat Eat Eat ——?" Tang Jing, who happened to come to Huan Pavilion, trembled and looked at Chu Yunge for help.

Chu Yunge sighed and put on a big coat: "What are you afraid of?" Are there no people in Huainan who are hungry enough to eat people? There will never be anyone who thinks you are delicious and has to spend a lot of effort to stop your more than 50 carriage teams just to eat you a bite of meat, right? ”

Tang Jing: "......"

You have a point, but it sounds weird.

She was also shocked for a moment before she subconsciously blurted out, and after Chu Yunge finished speaking, she came back to her senses and frowned: "I received the news of heavy snow in the north, but it has only been more than half a month, how can it develop to this point?" ”

Chu Yunge also felt a little strange, what about the three years of murder, and now it is the first year that people eat people and rebels are running around?

How useless is her father?

Meng Wei couldn't see the disrespectful thoughts in his Highness's mind, and he came in a hurry just to ......

"Is Your Highness going there in person?"

"It's still Commander Meng who understands me." Chu Yunge smiled, as if he couldn't hear the dissuasion in the tone of his secret guard leader.

Meng Wei sighed and followed behind Chu Yunge.

Tang Jing: "I won't go, I'll hold you back." ”

Chu Yunge nodded, ordered the soldiers and horses, brought the armament, and set off immediately.

Zhao Jiao's horse farm gave Huainan a great boost to the scarce armaments. The speed of the Huainan Army's rapid march was extraordinary, with a flat road, a complete set of harnesses built after discovering that the concrete road would make the horses' hooves wear more severely, and the abundance of grain and grass to make it was greatly reduced.

However, in just three days, the 1,000 Huainan army arrived at Xie Muguan, the northernmost part of Cangwu.

However, Xie Muguan's scene was not the same as Chu Yunge imagined.

Fu Gangyi, who hurriedly greeted him, looked ashamed: "Your Highness, the heavy snow closed the mountain yesterday, and the minister didn't have time to send the news out." ”

He led Chu Yunge and a few people to the city wall, and asked Qiao Anli to place soldiers, and then pointed to the people who were working hard to strengthen under the city wall: "It turns out, it turns out that it was not the rebels who were under the city wall that day, but the victims. ”

I saw that the people below were not curious about the hundreds of cavalry that suddenly appeared, and they seriously learned to mix cement and sand and gravel, and then strengthen the upper wall.

It was noon, and in the middle of the snow, a fire was lit in a corner not far from the city wall, warming a large pot of gruel.

Someone shouted loudly: "Lunch! Lunch! Eat and dry! Not short of a bowl of porridge time! ”

The people put down their work, rushed to the fire and lined up, and after drinking a bowl of hot porridge, they returned to the city wall.

A few people from Huainan looked a little dazed.

Fu Gangyi looked at it and felt that his eyes were a little moist: "They are all victims of the snow disaster, and I don't know where they came from." The other day they were under the walls of the city was horrible because they were covered in blood and had iron weapons in their hands—"

The broken blade of the kitchen knife knocked on the city gate, and he couldn't say anything clearly.

The guards didn't think it was the rebels who rushed back to the office with 100,000 people, but fortunately, Fu Gangyi happened to be in a nearby county to mention the matter of the county magistrate's order to repair the house, and rushed over after sending a letter to Huainan to find that something was wrong.

"They knew they looked too scary, so they scrubbed it off with snow and then laid down their weapons and retreated far away."

"Only a few scrawny children were left, and they begged the ministers to let them in."

When Fu Gangyi said this, the middle-aged veteran who had gone through the wind and rain couldn't help choking. The child, who had little flesh on his body, shivered with cold, and said Please take me in, I don't want to be eaten.

The children were also under the city walls, and they had just finished drinking the porridge, and their faces were a little more lively.

The clothes on his body were wide and tattered, apparently given by a well-wisher in Kannai.

Chu Yunge couldn't tell what she felt, she only felt a choked breath in her throat, she took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "They escaped from the 'cannibalistic' rebels?" ”

Fu Gangyi: "That's right! ”

He was also furious: "The snow disaster has only passed for more than a month, although it is impossible to pass on the message, but the old minister believes that it is impossible for the major governing offices to let the civilians go hungry and eat!" ”

The Kui Liang Mengwei present were all from Chang'an, although Emperor Jin Wen preferred to ask for immortals, it was indeed not to the extent of such inaction.

They nodded understandingly.

Chu Yunge pondered: "I once heard that there was a group of rebels in the Jiangnan area twenty years ago, who used people as food and almost hit Chang'an. ”

"Although he disappeared for some reason, he definitely didn't die."

The system whispered: "Host, the rebels you see in the tracing are all young and strong, not as old as Fu Gangyi. ”

Chu Yunge silently glanced at the wrinkles on Fu Gangyi's face, maybe he wanted to deal with envoys from various countries, Fu Gangyi was a middle-aged man with a lot of changeable expressions...... There are more wrinkles.

Silently apologized to Fu Gangyi for the system, and Chu Yunge asked him, "Have you inspected the customs in the past few days?" ”

Fu Gangyi was resolute: "Your Highness rest assured, the minister knows that Xie Muguan is the key to entering the Huainan area, and in recent days, there have been disaster victims to strengthen the city wall, and there have been manpower to inspect the pass." ”

"It's just that there is no trace of the rebels for the time being, according to the victims, they paid the price of more than ten people to kill and take away some weapons, and the rebels should not let them go."

I wonder if the heavy snow has hidden the traces of the victims? It's just that if the rebels entered Jiuzhi Mountain, the heavy snow actually covered the trail of the rebels.

"It's snowing heavily in the mountains, and prey is hard to find, so they can't hide for long."

If it is true that the rebels have thousands of people as the victims said, then food and grass are an unavoidable problem.

Even if they take people as food, they won't choose to eat up their accomplices, right?

The prey was close at hand, and if the rebels didn't want to turn back, they would definitely be waiting for an opportunity to blend in around Xie Muguan.

"It just so happens that this time, we brought enough food."

Delicious, mouth-smacking food.

Originally, it was used to support the people after the snowstorm, but now it is also good to lure snakes out of their holes.

As soon as Chu Yunge gave the order, there were cavalry members who were one step slower to inform the baggage team, and the thousand-strong team was all scattered and mixed into the victims who repaired the city wall, and there were also teams that stumbled all the way to the foot of the mountain to dig stones.

The soldier who was dressed in Huainan's cotton clothes, which was not sufficient, and was covered with tattered linen clothes on the outside, pretended to be very energetic, looking like a fool and defected to the officials of Xie Muguan, but the poor image of being sent to work as a coolie played very well.

I don't see that they're not cold at all.

I couldn't see that there was a group of soldiers squatting in the snow nest dug up overnight not far away.

The snow nest was dug very big, and it was also a loss of this once-in-a-century heavy snow, so that Xie Muguan in the south also accumulated deep snow, and after tamping it, he kept the wind warm and kept warm, and it was okay to squat for a day.

Only for the first two days, the mountains were calm, as if no one was hiding in them.

Until the third day, the soldiers, pretending to be coolies, 'rejoiced' and 'sneakily' with their little baggage, and hid at the foot of the mountain to boil water with a few 'fellow villagers'.

Then wrap Huainan's specialty sweet potato flour and Huainan Wang's special, dried chili sour vinegar sauce together——

Cooked into hot hot and sour noodles.

As soon as the wind blew, the soldiers in the snow dens drooled.

The soldiers pinched each other's thighs, wondering if His Highness was leading the mountain bandits, or helping Commander Meng to give them 'endurance training'......
