Five Hundred and Four: Attack Fengyi County (12)

On the other hand, people in Cheng'an County are also restless.

The Tsing Yi Army has grown so much in a short period of time that everyone has a mouth to feed, but they simply cannot produce enough food to feed everyone. They can only loot and clean up everywhere. However, the amount of food obtained by this method is limited. Many people still don't have enough to eat.

There are people in the Tsing Yi Army, but no one can manage such a large "family business". They are short-sighted and cannot run it at all.

To put it bluntly, they are a group of bandits with no discipline and no moral restraint.

Even though they were more powerful than the Red Lotus Sect at the beginning, after a winter of anxiety, the Tsing Yi Army's power became smaller and smaller. On the contrary, the Red Lotus Sect was at its peak, and its territory expanded step by step, further reducing the Tsing Yi Army's living space.

Today, Cheng'an County is in a state of depression, with people staying behind closed doors and few people walking on the streets.

No one dared to expose the grain. Those merchants who could escape had already escaped. Those who could not escape were all looted by the Tsing Yi Army. Half their life savings were forcibly taken away. Those who were more lucky were able to survive. Those who were not lucky were able to escape. He was directly killed on the spot.

Nowadays, the people are complaining and secretly ridiculing that the Tsing Yi Army should be renamed the Bandit Army.

Last autumn, due to the earthquake in Shangjing, there was very little grain production, and the Tsing Yi Army was everywhere. This caused the farmers in Cheng'an County to lose their harvest for the year. After the spring started, there was no good seed to sow, and the grain reserves at home were exploited and robbed by the Tsing Yi Army. .

Many people could not bear the hunger and the tyranny of the Tsing Yi Army. For fear of losing their lives, all those who could escape fled.

The old, weak and sick who could not escape remained, relying on the carefully stored food to survive day after day.

Some people were even afraid that the smoke from cooking rice would attract the Tsing Yi Army, so they only dared to soak the rice in water and eat it.

Last winter, countless people froze to death, and now people in Cheng'an County starve to death every day.

The county capital has been occupied by the Tsing Yi Army. As one of their base camps, it still maintains a magnificent decoration.

The people outside did not have enough to wear, did not have enough to eat, and were freezing to death and starving to death. However, these leaders of the Tsing Yi Army lived in hot and spicy food, eating meat and drinking alcohol.

However, they are not in the mood to enjoy such a luxurious life now because there is no longer enough food in Cheng'an County.

If the food shortage continues, not only will the people below go hungry, they will also have to endure the taste of hunger.

"Mom, didn't you say there was a batch of food and grass? Counting the time, it's time to crawl here even if you have to crawl. Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

After half a year, many tough leaders have gained a lot of fat, and now this one is no exception. His fingers are full of fat, and his knuckles are round and round. They look like fat and short sausages, and his originally bronze skin is also full of fat. I have gained some fair skin.

"Is there something wrong on the road?" The Tsing Yi Army who can be in the county are at the lowest level of small bosses. Their faces are turning red one by one. Looking at their faces, they can tell that they have had a good life in the past. "After all, the evil spirits of the Red Lotus Sect are very... Evil..."

The fat general sitting at the top pondered for a while and said, "Well, let's send someone out to check..."

This batch of food and grass is extremely important to the Tsing Yi Army in Cheng'an County. If there is not enough food, I don't know what kind of trouble the Tsing Yi Army below will cause. Even they will not be able to suppress it. Thinking of this, the fat general frowned viciously. .

The little boss followed the order, and another little boss with a sly eyebrow took the opportunity to make a suggestion.

"General, don't everyone say that Xiangyang County next door is extremely rich? If there is really no food, let's go attack them and occupy that land. Are we afraid that there won't be enough food?" the little boss said this As he spoke, the spies' words came to mind.

According to the spies' description, Xiangyang County is a place comparable to heaven. It is clean and well-organized. The houses are all new. They are so beautiful that they don't look like the world, but more like they fell from the sky. Every citizen wears You must be like a noble person, no one will starve to death or freeze to death...

At that time, the little boss sneered at these words. Where in the world is there such a good place?

But now, Cheng'an County is facing the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food, and the promised food has not yet arrived, which is worrying.

I thought that this suggestion would be praised, but no matter how bad it was, it would always divert the general's attention. Who knew that he would even get scolded.

"If this place in Xiangyang County was easy to gnaw, I would have gone to gnaw it long ago. Do you still need to do some hindsight here?"

The general said angrily, the fat falling from his face trembled, and his eyes were almost squeezed out by the flesh.

Not long after, a messenger suddenly came hurriedly from outside, knelt on the ground and panted, "No - it's not good -"

"What's wrong?" The general's heart tightened.

The messenger soldier took a deep breath and said with a heavy breath, "The food and grass were robbed——"

What!

The leaders in the hall were horrified. The general stood up directly, grabbed the messenger by the collar, lifted him up, and said angrily, "Tell me again, what was robbed? Which one was it? Dare you rob me of my food?"

The messenger said with difficulty, "They were the guys who were transporting food... They escaped and said someone was ambushing them, and they didn't see clearly who the enemy was..."

The general's face was ashen, and the fat on his face was trembling due to his heavy breathing.

"That's too much!" He casually threw the messenger soldier out, "Those cowards transporting food didn't even see who the enemy was..."

The general was about to say that the grain transporters should be killed to avoid opening more mouths and wasting grain. When the words reached his throat, another sound came from outside.

"Report——"

The general took a deep breath and asked, "What happened again?"

"There are thousands of troops outside the city besieging the city!"

What?

Everyone's faces were too pale to look at it.

The food was robbed, and the enemy came knocking on the door. It was just a leaky house, and it rained all night, which was bad luck.

"Are they those monsters from the Red Lotus Sect again?"

The messenger said, "No, the flag above says 'Liu', and the formation call has already begun."

willow?

Which company is this from?

Jiang Pengji said that she did not want to form a formation. Everyone had already arrived at the gate of the city. Why not just start fighting?

"What if they don't come out?" Jiang Pengji turned to Wei Ci, "Don't you think this is childish?"

Before the fight begins, there will be a verbal spat with each other. You will curse the mother and I will curse the father, just like a child playing house.

Wei Ci said with a cold face, "It's a matter of morale. Master, please don't joke."

Jiang Pengji said oh, and after being honest for a while, she made things difficult for Wei Ci again, holding back her smile and asked, "But some soldiers can only speak dialect, not Mandarin, and they can't understand other local dialects. If the people on both sides speak the same language, If it doesn’t make sense, isn’t it a chicken-and-duck argument?”

Wei Ci: "..."

Xu Ke, who had already appeased the logistics and had all the siege equipment in place, came on horseback. When he heard this tricky question, he almost fell off his horse... This question should not be difficult for Wei Zixiao. Even if it was thrown out to ask Mr. Yuan Jing, I'm afraid The old man couldn't answer either.

Jiang Pengji said to herself again, "Do both sides need to have a good understanding in advance and each send a translator who is proficient in dialects?"

After she finished speaking, Wei Ci looked at her quietly, with a rather resentful look in his eyes.
