Time flies, in the blink of an eye, Xiangyi City has been besieged for more than three months, the merchant army outside the city is fortunate to say that grain and grass can be requisitioned from various cities at any time, winter to spring is lush vegetation, and there is leisure to go hunting.

Compared with the merchant army outside the city, the Meng defenders were not treated so well.

Half a month ago, the city had run out of food, and everyone in the city, including the defenders, had their rations changed from three meals a day to two meals, and five days ago to one meal, which could not guarantee the supply of food for this meal. The defenders were better, some dry goods could satisfy their hunger, and the common people only had some clear and refreshing soup.

The animals in the city, whether they were pigs, dogs, sheep, cats, or even rats, were all caught and eaten by the people, and the horses in the army had been slaughtered. In this Xiangyi City, it is basically difficult to see living creatures except for people.

"National Teacher!" In the palace of Xiangyi Palace, Meng Quan, the leader of the Meng side, looked full of worry: "There is not much grain and grass in the city, and the grass roots and bark are used by the people to satisfy their hunger, so I am afraid that if we continue to wait for the Shang army to attack the city, there will be a mutiny!"

"Master Hou doesn't have to worry!" Meng Fang comforted: "Wechen has already thought of a solution. In the evening, please invite Lord Hou and all my colleagues to my mansion for a banquet!"

"This is true!" Meng Quan was a little excited, the city had been without food for more than half a month, and the national teacher actually had surplus grain to set up a banquet, so he must have come up with a solution.

Night falls, and the National Teacher's Mansion in Xiangyi City.

When Meng Quan and his ministers arrived, the national teacher had already prepared a table of meat, steamed, boiled, grilled or fried, all of which were meat anyway, and there was a large pot of broth in the middle.

The entire National Teacher's Mansion was shrouded in the rich aroma of meat, which made Meng Quan and the ministers swallow a mouthful of saliva very unproductively, and even the princes and ministers were in a state of half-starvation and half-fullness after half a month of food, no different from the poor.

"Master Hou, please, all the adults, please!" the national teacher invited Meng Quan to the upper seat with a smile on his face, and sat at the end to accompany him.

"You're welcome, try my cook's craft. The national teacher said modestly: "There are no good ingredients, I'm afraid that I will snub you, and please atone for the shortcomings!"

Everyone was polite, looking at Meng Quan one by one, Hou Ye didn't say to start, let them be embarrassed to start first.

"You don't have to be polite!" Meng Quan took the lead in making a gesture, twisting up a skewer of barbecue meat and tasting it carefully: "Well, it tastes good! The meat is delicate and the taste is strong." The chef's heat is also accurate, and the outside is scorched and the inside is tender and fat but not greasy!"

Hearing Hou Ye's praise, everyone also echoed. Although this meal is simple, it is not easy at this time. The entire Xiangyi is probably the national teacher who has this kind of ability!

"Where is Mrs. Zun? You can beckon her to eat together!" Meng Quan was happy to eat, praised the merits of the national teacher, and allowed the wife of the national teacher to sit at the same table as a commendation. What an honor it would be in normal times!

"Yuexiang!" The national teacher was a little distracted, and said in a trance: "Women's Taoist people, it is useless to war!"

"Where is the national teacher!" Meng Quan misunderstood that the national teacher was dedicated to working for the country, and there was not much food, so he didn't want his family to waste it, and persuaded him: "The woman doesn't eat much, I'll have one less bite to eat!"

"Master Hou!" the national teacher suddenly knelt on the ground and cried: "It's not that Xianzhong is sluggish, but that Neiko is already in your womb!"

"What?" Meng Quan's face changed, and he couldn't help but retched loudly at the thought of a possibility.

"Vomit!" the monarch's voice was like an order, and the ministers below also had a chain reaction, and the sound of gagging sounded.

"Master Hou atons for his sins!" the national teacher kowtowed again: "The merchant army has been besieged for many days, and the grain and grass in the city have been cut off for more than half a month. Xianzhong was also helpless, so he made this decision. The old and weak women and children have no power to restrain the chickens, even if they barely survive, it is a waste of food, it is better to use it as a ration for the strong, let the rest survive and wait for reinforcements from all directions!"

"Master Hou!" Seeing that Meng Quan was silent for a long time, Xianzhong thought that his plan had worked, and continued to speak: "The population of the city is hundreds of thousands, of which more than half are women and children, and they can last for months for food...... If you can't bear it, you can eat it!"

"Bastard!" Meng Quan suddenly shouted: "I thought you could come up with some good ideas, but it turned out to be ...... Be...... With such a tragic poisonous plan, even if I, Meng Quan, starve to death, I will never do anything like a beast!"

"Master Hou!"

"Needless to say, open the city gate tomorrow and let the people in the city have a way to live. This sentence exhausted Meng Quan's strength, and after finishing speaking, he sat on the chair for a long time and was unwilling to move.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" Xian Zhong knelt down and walked to Meng Quan's feet, and he was a little broken at this moment, and his whole person was hysterical.

Persistence, what am I insisting on? I thought I thought of a clever plan, but it prompted the Marquis of Xiangyang to give up the last resistance, and the most important thing was to take the life of his wife.

"Moon-incense!" Hyun-joong muttered to himself, as if he saw his wife's smiling face again at this moment, and smelled her body fragrance: "It's so fragrant!

"Master Hou......! He's crazy!" Meng Quan heard someone report it, and he didn't want to raise his head: "It's okay to be crazy!

After listening to Meng Quan's words, the ministers looked at each other. They all know that Hou Ye has made up his mind, and it is useless to say more at this time.

On the second day, the city gate of Xiangyi was opened, and Meng Quan led the civil and military officials and the people of the whole city to present a letter at the city gate.

When the hundreds of thousands of years of skinny people and the defenders knelt down at the gate of the city, Lin Xing's heart was really shocked, he knew that this was the defenders of Xiangyi, and he didn't know that he thought that the skeleton corps came out of nowhere.

The ordnance of the Mengxi army was confiscated, and the Mengxi officials were sent to Yin for trial. As for the number of sergeants, there were too many soldiers, so they had to set up a prisoner of war camp in Xiangyi City to guard it strictly.

When he entered Xiangyi City, Lin Xing felt that he had done something excessive, and he actually forced the people in the city to eat almost everything they could eat, including the bark on the roadside and the grass roots on the ground, and the entire Xiangyi City was as bare as a locust plague without a trace of green.

"Yuexiang!" a crazy old man clapped his hands and shouted and jumped on the street, looking at the dress of either rich or expensive, it should be that the nobleman couldn't stand the blow and collapsed.

"Who is Yuexiang?" Lin Xing's question made the faces of the two local escorts change several times, and they didn't say anything after all.

"Yuexiang is a woman's name!" Zixia curiously calculated Xianzhong's call, and the ridiculous things he did naturally couldn't be hidden.

"His wife, right? The couple is very affectionate!" Lin Xing sighed a little, and also blamed himself, if he hadn't besieged Xiangyi City, maybe he wouldn't have been able to create this kind of tragedy, right?

"Hmph!" Zixia snorted coldly: "You can also understand it as meaty!"

"Meat?!" What kind of truth is this: "How can the moon and meat be together!"

"Why can't you?" Zixia couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes and said, "Which one of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, lungs, kidneys, intestines, and arms and legs doesn't have the word moon?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you a pig? You still don't understand what you said?" Zixia covered her mouth and retched twice, really unwilling to mention it again.

"Is there one?" "What is the good thing to spit out?" How good is it to have that food for the people of Xiangyi? They have been hungry for months...... I've been hungry for months...... It's been a few months......

Lin Xing finally understood what Zixia meant, when facing a threat to his life, people may really be inferior to animals......
