13 Withhold the grain
As soon as the words came out, Xian Jingyue had already connected all the things that happened in Yumen Pass, and he was suddenly terrified. For a moment, the scene in the barracks on the right yesterday actually appeared in front of his eyes, and the Netherworld Dao Leader of the "Yin Mountain Hall" stabbed the chest of the living corpse one after another with the spear in his hand. Because the key point of the living corpse is the heart, it is necessary to attack its heart directly, and the other party has caused this series of changes against Yumen Pass, isn't it also to attack the heart of the 100,000 garrisons?
You must know that even if the garrison of Yumen Pass does not have 100,000, at least there are 50,000 or 60,000, let alone one or twenty living corpses, even if it is 100,000 living corpses to attack, with the geographical advantage of the Yumen Pass city wall and all kinds of armaments, plus General Lu sitting in the town, the sergeants are enough to resist these stupid things. Therefore, the Divine Fire Sect, who planned the whole thing behind the scenes, or that Yan Sidao, if he wanted to use these strange powers to attack this place with these strange powers, he was undoubtedly dreaming.
Therefore, from the very beginning of Yizhuang's deception of corpses, to the living corpses transported by the carriage at the gate of the city, then the killing of the cooks in the gang, and then to the corpses of the cooks yesterday, this series of changes is clearly interlocking, just like the spear of the Netherworld Elder who keeps stabbing at the chest of the living corpse. Although it seems that the foundation of the garrison has not been shaken, the real intention is to "attack the heart", and through the accumulation of one thing after another, finally issue a fatal blow.
For example, the scramble for glutinous rice today is due to the fact that the people and the soldiers have fallen into the fear of living corpses. If the rumor that "glutinous rice can detoxify the corpse" and the news that there is glutinous rice in this "sending off building" are simply deliberately spread by the other party, and these glutinous rice have already been tampered with, wouldn't the consequences be unimaginable?
Thinking of this, Xian Jingyue hurriedly snatched the bag of glutinous rice in Li Liu's hand and looked at it carefully. I saw that the glutinous rice in the bag had faintly yellowed, and then put it in front of my nose to smell, instead of the fragrance of glutinous rice, there was a faint fishy smell. Xian Jingyue couldn't judge whether there was a problem with these glutinous rice for a while, so he immediately pulled up Li Liu and said, "Follow me!"
Li Liu was dragged by Xian Jingyue, all the way into the military camp on the left side of the official road, most of the sergeants knew Xian Jingyue, but they didn't dare to stop it, but when they saw Li Liu walking with him, their faces couldn't help but show mockery. The two came all the way to the camp where General Lu was located, but were stopped by the sergeant outside the tent, saying that General Lu was discussing the military aircraft with the generals and that no one was allowed to enter. When he broke through the sergeant and rushed straight into the camp tent, he saw more than 20 generals sitting on both sides of the tent, all of them with angry faces, and General Lu among them had a gloomy face and an extremely ugly expression.
Seeing this scene in the tent, Xian Jingyue couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that something had happened again? When General Lu saw the two of them breaking into the tent, he immediately smiled and said, "It turned out that the two adults from the pro-army Governor's Mansion were coming, but the last general was disappointed. As soon as the words fell, the generals in the military tent suddenly boiled, Xian Jingyue was the commander of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, and everyone naturally knew about it, but how did the Li Liu family of this grocery store also become the "adult" of the pro-army Governor's Mansion? General Lu said lightly: "Presumably, everyone doesn't know that this Li Liu is the person in charge arranged by the pro-army Governor's Mansion in Yumen Pass. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the generals changed greatly. You must know that since the Han Dynasty, there have been women in the army, who do some miscellaneous work during the day and wait for the sergeants to go to bed at night, so as to boost the morale of the three armies. Unexpectedly, after the establishment of this dynasty, it resolutely pursued the principle of "no women in the army" and abolished the post of a woman in the army, and if the sergeant wanted to quench this hunger and thirst, he could only hope that the family members of the officials who had committed the crime would be assigned to the army, but there were also more monks and less porridge, so how could everyone be satisfied?
But Li Liu did not evade it, and said to everyone with a smile, and said: "Being able to get to know the generals is also a blessing for the concubine, but since the matter has passed, it will be written off." From now on, the concubine will only obey orders under the command of the commander, and she will no longer be able to entertain the generals, please forgive me. With that, she intentionally or unintentionally approached Xian Jingyue. For a while, the faces of the generals in the tent could be described as varied, surprised, angry, jealous, and annoyed, and it was really exciting. The general who was hit by Xian Jingyue that day was also in the tent at this time, and he laughed even more, and said: "That's it, I didn't expect to recognize a brother-in-law with the Xiantong Office of the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion, it's funny!"
Xian Jingyue's face changed greatly, and she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. Fortunately, the reason why General Na Lu broke Li Liu's identity as soon as he came up was to relieve the tense atmosphere in the tent, and seeing that this move worked, he immediately said to Xian Jingyue: "The current situation in Yumen Pass also depends on the help of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, so there are some things that don't have to be hidden. To tell the truth, all the people here today will invite the last general to ask the last general to give an order to withdraw from the army. ”
Xian Jingyue raised his eyebrows, this Yumen Pass is the head of the three defense lines in the northwest, how can he withdraw the army at will? When he was shocked, it was too late to say anything about the glutinous rice. It turned out that the 100,000 garrisons stationed in Yumen Pass were supplied by Lanzhou City, and a batch of food and salary would be sent every quarter, and now it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but this batch of food and salary in autumn has not been delivered, General Lu sent a carrier pigeon to urge several times, but Lanzhou City said that the military salary has already been sent, and it must have been on the way to be transported, so General Lu just waited patiently.
Who knew that until early this morning, the sergeant sent by General Lu to Jiayuguan two days ago to warn him turned back, saying that after he arrived at Jiayuguan, he was stopped outside the pass by the sergeant guarding the pass, saying that he would not let him enter the pass at all. The sergeant inquired for a long time under the wall of Jiayuguan, only to know that the matter of the appearance of living corpses in Yumen Pass had already spread throughout the northwest, and it was even more spread in Lanzhou City, saying that there were a large number of zombies attacking the city in Yumen Pass, and once the living people were injured by zombies, they would also be infected into zombies, and half of the sergeants in Yumen Pass at the moment had been infected, and they all became zombies, but I am afraid that it will not be long before the 100,000 garrisons of Yumen Pass will be completely wiped out.
Due to the resurrection of King Heng in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the King of Thailand stationed in Lanzhou has already returned to the Central Plains, so after hearing this rumor, Gong Baisheng, the guard of Jiayuguan, was worried that the zombies of Yumen Pass would spread to Jiayuguan, so he passed down a military order to ban the entire Jiayuguan, following the purpose of "only going out and not entering". And the military salaries that should have been transported to Yumen Pass were naturally detained in Jiayu Pass. No matter how the sergeants sent by General Lu explained this rumor, the soldiers defending the city at Jiayuguan just didn't believe it, and even said that the garrison at Jiayuguan didn't dare to go out of the pass without permission, and if the garrison at Yumen Pass still wanted this batch of military rations, they could only send someone to fetch it themselves.
However, the first living corpse to appear in Yumen Pass was also in Yizhuang at noon the day before yesterday, and in just two days, how could this matter be spread throughout the entire northwest? Obviously, it must be the Shenhuo Sect or that Yan Sidao who planned behind the scenes to spread rumors, and such ghosts and gods just satisfied the curiosity of the world, and once they spread a lot among each other, they gradually believed it. When the reports of General Lu and Li Liu were sent to Lanzhou City at the same time, it would be equivalent to confirming this rumor, and who would delve into whether the zombies that appeared in Yumen Pass were the legendary zombies?
Hearing this news, Xian Jingyue also sensed the seriousness of the situation, it seems that the other party really wants to attack the heart, and not only the heart of the Yumen Pass garrison, but also the heart of the world. If the autumn food and salary have not been able to be transported, the 100,000 garrisons at Yumen Pass will no longer be a sharp weapon to defend the country, but 100,000 mouths waiting to eat.
