Chapter 182: The only way to survive is not to retreat
Although the turmoil caused by Chen Fan and them was temporarily resolved, it could not be regarded as being able to end.
The female officials with broken eyebrows at the head of the city and others saw the opportunity early, and when the people entered the city, they arranged for officers and soldiers to temporarily intercept those wealthy chariots and horses in the urn city.
Those wealthy family heads are now also the six gods and no masters, and the power revealed by the Ice Buddha made them tremble and dare not stab.
Among the carriages and horses of Chen Fan's family, there were carriages that exploded and flew out of the masters to participate in the battle, which made their hearts beat even more.
Everyone is a local snake, they know the roots, how many masters there are in Chen Fan's family, they are not unclear, and the meaning behind such a few unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared is self-evident.
There are a few people with good eyesight, who can see the bloody and blue-skinned faces of Bai Zhongtuo and others clearly, and their hearts are upside down, and they scolded Chen Fan's family one hundred and eighty times.
When Du Yuanzhen and the others rode into the city, these wealthy family heads couldn't wait to defend themselves, gossiping, and shouting.
"Even if Chen Fan really deceived you in some ways and instigated the people to riot, after all, it was the result that the people of your various families had to work hard to get out."
Du Yuanzhen has nothing to be polite to these people, "It is inevitable to go to prison and ask for crimes, whoever confesses more can suffer less." ”
As she spoke, the red-armored cavalry behind her had already dismounted and drawn their swords, cooperating with those government generals to take down all these people.
"Wait!"
Everyone was shocked and angry, and one of them shouted, "In Chang'an City, there are chariots, horses, and boats, and the number of official families and relatives who are entangled in grain and grass will only be more than the dozens of wealthy families in our Bonan City." ”
"Needless to say, those relatives of your Du family, among the front-line generals, Zhang Anshou, Dong Ling'er and others, which family has no relatives ready to escape? We can't hide this information! ”
"If the county lord really wants to be so unsympathetic, dare to ask the families of those officials, how to deal with it?!"
Du Yuanzhen turned his head to look at the person who spoke, sneered, and was about to reply, but he didn't know what to think, his eyes were shining, and his face sank.
"Did they incite a large number of people out of the city, ready to be used as a stepping stone on their way to escape?"
Su Hanshan's voice sounded, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a big golden hand flew out of the air, grabbed the person who spoke just now, and received it closely.
It was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a neat beard, but at this moment, his face was frightened, feeling that his martial arts cultivation, which he had once been quite proud of, was completely unable to resist this big hand that held him in the palm of his hand and only showed his head and feet.
"You just said that you know a lot of news, okay, you can name more people who incite the people to support their backs, no matter what their identity, if it is verified, I will kill it."
Su Hanshan looked at the man, and his voice suddenly turned loud, like a Zen chant, "Say!" ”
The man was shocked, as if only this one word was echoing in his mind, and although there were many pretentious words in his belly, he was inexplicable at the moment, and he didn't dare to say a lie.
"I ...... I ......"
He "me" for a long time, and he didn't say anything useful.
These people in the urn city also became silent.
The battlefield was chaotic just now, and many of them actually didn't know who made the Ice Buddha.
But Su Hanshan's Zen chanting immediately made them guess the truth, panicked in their hearts, and said with a sad face.
This time, the panic was not pretending to coax the people before, but it was completely sincere, but unfortunately not so many people watched their performance this time.
"If you are not willing to be arrested only yourself, you can tell all the news you know in prison and confess to other people with similar intentions, but it is best not to have lies, otherwise after I verify it, you will only have to suffer more!"
When Su Hanshan said this, he threw the man out.
This time, when those soldiers tied people up, they didn't dare to resist.
After these people were escorted into the city, Du Yuanzhen led people to climb the inner wall of the urn city, facing the city.
The sun has risen, and you can see the city in general.
Although the people in the city no longer have the momentum to continue to attack outside the city, they are still congested between the streets of the eastern city.
Du Yuanzhen immediately asked the guards behind him to take out the letter paper warrant and pass it to the officials and guards in the city, so that they could issue it layer by layer, distribute the order, mobilize the soldiers of the city, preach loudly, and appease the people.
When the whole process was in turmoil before, many of those soldiers were also swaying, after all, their own relatives were also in the crowd crowd out of the city.
Fortunately, only tens of thousands of people left the city at that time, and the vast majority of them were still in the city, otherwise I am afraid that these soldiers would have fled with them at that time.
Now that the situation has stabilized, the warrant was issued to them first, and it was better to shout in place among the crowd.
Su Hanshan glanced at the words written on the paper, which were concise and easy to understand, and although the length was not long, they were all to the point.
"Well, it seems that you have been prepared for a special lecture on this turmoil."
Du Yuanzhen shook his head and said: "It's still a step slower, these preaching were originally used to curb rumors, but now they can only be used to appease afterwards." ”
Su Hanshan said: "Since you have taken precautions, it should be very simple to point out the loopholes in that person's words just now, why do you seem to be choked by his words?" ”
"His few words can't reduce my guilt, it's just some of my original thoughts, I was hooked by him, and I forgot to reply for a while."
Du Yuanzhen said these words, and he was not going to continue.
However, in order to be able to observe the situation in various parts of the city in time, the people had to stay at the top of the city for a long time.
Idle is also idle, Du Yuanzhen paused for a while, looked at the officials and soldiers around him, his mind moved slightly, and he said what he was worried about.
It's not unusual, it's exactly what the person mentioned before.
Everyone in the world has selfishness, and the greater the power, the heavier the selfishness.
Among the cities in Chang'an, they are really preparing for escape, and they are the most well-prepared and reliable, and the route planning is very proper.
It is by no means those local snakes, nor those high-rollers who have had the experience of running caravans, but the relatives of the upper echelons of Chang'an, civil officials and military generals.
Ask yourself, even if Du Yuanzhen is willing to stay in Chang'an and fight for a result, she also hopes that her relatives at home can be transferred to a safer place first.
With the strength of their own families, the ability to escort, the number of relatives and groups, the quality of chariots and horses, the availability of grain and grass, and the detailed map, it is not to say that they borrowed the Yellow River to the east and fled to the shore of the Bohai Sea.
Even if we first go south to Jiangdong, wait and see the situation, and then consider taking the coast of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, we are sure of success.
But the problem is that if the Du family leaves, in order not to chill the front-line generals, it is impossible for them to stop Zhang Anshou and Dong Ling'er's families.
If these two families leave, the families of the civil officials under their command will leave, and it will be difficult to stop them.
When these people are gone, can't ordinary soldiers still smell the direction of the wind and ignore their families? The morale of the army and the people will inevitably change greatly.
However, ordinary people, even the middle and lower-class generals and officials, do not have such superior conditions as the relatives of the upper-level officials, and there is no way to successfully escape when they leave the city in large numbers.
Before they can cross the river and reach other cities, they will be chased and besieged by boundless living corpses, and they can only become dry bones in the wild.
Du Yuanzhen has been worried about this matter for a long time, and she has never thought of how to solve these problems.
The chief and deputy city lords, chief and deputy guards of Bonan City and others were still glad that today's turmoil had been contained, but suddenly they heard Du Yuanzhen say some words clearly, and their faces changed, and they stopped talking.
Each other's families are indeed preparing for these things, but what does the county lord mean by saying this in public?!
They went to look at their subordinates, and sure enough, they saw the soldiers and officials on duty at the head of the city, and they all looked strange.
Those people knew very well that they were by no means the upper class in the city, and if they all figured it out, their own family would have a better chance of survival only if they stayed.
So when they see the clansmen of the city lord and general preparing to flee, what will those who are not ready to flee do?
As soon as they thought of this, the city lord and the others didn't want to think about it deeply, and they all set their eyes on the county lord.
Du Yuanzhen caressed the wall with one hand, still looking faint, no one knew what kind of mentality she was using to say these words.
"Staying is a life of nine deaths, and escaping is a life of ten thousand deaths, but whether it is staying or escaping, the very small number of living people are more likely to be people of the upper class."
Su Hanshan looked at the people in the city and said, "Although it is very cruel, this is the truth, if you think about it this way, the county lord did not run away directly, but delayed these things, which is quite conscientious." ”
When Du Yuanzhen, who was calm, heard this, her face couldn't help but be a little subtle, and she felt very uncomfortable.
The guards around her were even more indignant and wanted to open their mouths to defend themselves, but Du Yuanzhen hurriedly raised her hand to stop their words.
This person had just saved their lives, and his strength was rare, and after a few words, he revealed that his temperament seemed to be a little perverse, and it was not wise to fight with him for a trivial matter.
"It's a pity."
Su Hanshan turned his face and looked at these officials and soldiers, "Things are even more cruel than you think, county lord." ”
"If you really abandon the city and flee, and most of the people fall, what awaits the other survivors will not be ten thousand deaths, but ten thousand deaths."
No matter how many living corpses are driven by the White Palace, it is impossible to chase them overseas, let alone accurately find the direction of others to escape in the vast sea.
Su Hanshan's words are very alarmist.
Du Yuanzhen's heart was sudden, and there was some hazy premonition in his mind, as if it had been suddenly implemented, but he couldn't say it, and asked with a solemn face: "Why are you so sure?" ”
Yang Baifa touched his sparse and soft beard, and also spoke: "The cities of Chang'an, after fifty years of drastic changes, are still one of the few prosperous places, and there are many news exchanges. ”
"Many of you should know that the corpse mutation is not only in the land of Kyushu."
"Outside the Seychelles, overseas, but wherever we can still get the news, they have also experienced corpse mutiny, it is conceivable that in the whole world, among all nations, I am afraid that no country is completely spared."
"In other words, the power of the source of the corpse transformation is enough to penetrate every place in the world."
Du Yuanzhen was surprised: "The source of the corpse? If the corpse transformation is not a natural disaster like a tsunami of earth movement, but there really is a source, what Lao Wu Wang means is that after the fall of Chang'an, the source of the corpse transformation will be powerful again. ”
"Even if you don't fall asleep on the day of the winter solstice, all the remaining living people in the world will be turned into living corpses?"
Yang Baifa nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
This is not a lie.
The battle between the will of the sky and the source of the corpse transformation, after fifty years, has reached a crucial point.
The White Palace's attack on the cities of Chang'an echoes this node.
If the cities of Chang'an are destroyed, the source of the corpse transformation will completely overwhelm the will of the heavens, infiltrate the entire heaven and earth, and take it for themselves.
As for what kind of food the living corpses have to rely on to survive after all the living people have become living corpses, this kind of thing is probably not a matter of concern or concern for the source of corpse transformation.
"I don't know if you've captured the Soul Bell."
Yang Baifa took out a small copper bell wrapped in cotton cloth and plugged the tongue from behind his back, and said, "This is the treasure used by the White King Mansion to manipulate the living corpse, but the material of this treasure itself actually has nothing special. ”
"Just through some kind of ritual and obtaining the approval given by the source of the corpse transformation, you have the power to control the living corpse."
"You can take it and study it, find some prisoners to try, but remember, you must not shake it with your own hands, and don't use your fist spirit to probe, otherwise, you will be imperceptibly eroded by the source of the corpse."
Du Yuanzhen cautiously took the handful of cotton cloth and said, "We haven't figured out how the White Palace's mansion manipulates the living corpse...... Forgive me for taking the plunge, where did Lao Wu get so much news about the source of the corpse transformation? ”
Yang Baifa said: "This is thanks to Hanshan. ”
These people from the Bonan City Mansion have experienced too many changes and turns this morning, and they still need to digest and digest, and their thoughts are chaotic, and they all have complicated expressions on their faces, some are suspicious, and some are worried.
"I know you don't quite believe that."
Su Hanshan answered, his eyes swept to everyone, and said, "Tonight, I will let you see the evidence." ”
Since you are all superior in strength, you have the confidence that when you escape, you will survive the wilderness in peace, flee to the Bohai Sea, and even go out to sea.
Then, use your surplus strength on the sacrifice of the heavens.
However, this time, Su Hanshan was not prepared to just pull the soldiers into a dream like when he was in Juma City.
Because he felt that in the process of arriving in Chang'an, the will of the sky also became more active, and the scope that could be pulled into the dream realm was even greater.
Moreover, Su Hanshan also wanted to take out what he had seen and heard along the way, with the help of the images collected by the Eyes of the Sky, to sort out and refer to the details, and use them to confirm the details of his cultivation in the true form stage.
