Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 133 Millions of casualties, the wail of the Tang Empire

"lady."

From far away, Qin Wenyuan called out.

The next second, as expected, the figure he was looking at ran over.

Compared to the slowness of the others, the owner of this figure seemed a little anxious.

"Husband!"

As soon as he came to Qin Wenyuan's side, Changle jumped up, looking at it, he was indomitable.

That is to say, if Qin Wenyuan missed the catch, Chang Le could only fall down, and if he jumped so far, his face would probably be disfigured after the fall.

This frightened Qin Wenyuan so much that he quickly opened his hands and hugged his wife's petite body.

"Husband, you are all right, great, great..."

Chang Le hugged Qin Wenyuan and took a breath of his breath, feeling a little satisfied.

Qin Wenyuan didn't have a good temper at this time, he felt that Changle was too messy.

Therefore, he knocked on Changle's little head, and said angrily: "Madam, what were you doing just now, if you didn't pay attention, I couldn't catch you."

"You... do you want me to go to dinner early?"

Hearing this, Chang Le sticks out her tongue playfully, "This... isn't there you, my husband? With you here, how can I be hurt?"

"It's you bastard husband, why did you knock me out and let Big Brother Weiyang take me away secretly?"

"We clearly agreed to live and die together, but you have broken your oath and you must be punished!!"

amount……

Changle's words immediately made Qin Wenyuan's voice stagnate.

Myself... There is no way to refute this!
The scene of Qin Wenyuan and his wife made everyone who watched burst into laughter.

Xiao Si also looked at the two with envy.

It's just that envy is envy.

She knew that this was the result of Changle's original decision.

If it was her at the beginning, and she was asked to make up her mind to live such a life with ordinary people, Xiao Sizi felt that she really couldn't make up her mind.

It's not for anything else, it's just because she has been living in a luxurious life for a long time, and she can't bear the sudden drop in this kind of living standard.

So, while envious, Xiao Si also admired his elder sister Changle.

I admire her for daring to abandon everything!
Dare to live with Qin Wenyuan from scratch! !
This night, just like this, a group of people walked together talking and laughing.

Originally, Wei Zheng wanted to tell Qin Wenyuan quickly about the matter of the five surnames and Qiwang, but because of the atmosphere tonight, he had to choose to postpone it.

Tonight, just be happy.

…………

vertical day.

Just in the morning, an urgent notice was sent to Chang'an City, and almost all the officials in the court were in the hands.

The important ministers who received the news all sat up in shock and horror, with a look of horror in their eyes, and read the letters they had just received, one by one, one by one.

"This!!!"

Li Jing gasped, his face was horrified and inexplicable, he hurriedly bid farewell to his wife, Hong Fu Nu, left the mansion, mounted his horse at the gate, and rushed to the south gate of Chang'an with the fastest speed.

He ran wildly in the city, and the people all over the street felt the gust of wind blowing by their ears.

What's more, they didn't know what happened, they just heard a gust of wind passing by.

In just two quarters of an hour, Li Jing arrived at the north gate of Chang'an City. From a distance, he saw an extremely familiar figure in the sky over the south gate, one step faster than him, and had already arrived there.

"Is the news in the letter true? Are there really hundreds of thousands of refugees arriving in Chang'an City soon?"

As soon as they got to the south city gate, Li Jing's voice came from far away before anyone arrived.

There was an inexplicable sense of horror in the voice, and he came to Qin Shubao's side in an instant.

Qin Shubao snorted and said in a deep voice: "General Li, I'm afraid the situation is worse than we imagined. We just got the news, but the fleeing team from the north has already appeared not far from Chang'an."

"You know what that means?"

Li Jing frowned slightly. The matter in this morning's letter was a major national event.

It is unreasonable for the scouts to reach Chang'an so slowly.

There is only one reason for the slowness.

That is the carrier pigeon that sent the message before, and it was intercepted! !

Li Jing said coldly: "Is there an unknown force controlling all of this?"

Qin Shubao nodded, "That's right, the southern scouts just told me that he was the No. 12 scout who rushed to Chang'an City, and it was he who let us know about the great disaster in the south."

"The scouts sent by the No.12 batch passed the news to us..."

"This also shows that all the eleven batches of scouts in front are dead! This unknown force, their hidden power is nothing small."

Qin Shubao's voice was very low, with a depressing atmosphere, and then he pointed to the line of sea and sky outside the city.

There, in a dark and dusty scene, there are trains of horses, densely packed, as if boundless, and no one knows where the edge is.

On both sides of the team, there are still a large number of Tang army soldiers, and countless soldiers are guarding the edge.

Above the team, crows and birds were also circling and flying, as if there was a great terror behind them.

At the forefront of the team, there are generals from all over the world!
The mighty team, with its incomparably majestic momentum, those who didn't know it thought it was a team attacking Chang'an City.

but……

As the distant team continued to approach, both Qin Shubao and Li Jing could clearly see it.

This team was in such a state of embarrassment. The soldiers of the Tang Army threw away their helmets and armor, their mouths were parched, and their footsteps were staggering.

Often a large group of people crowded into a carriage, and many more crowded on the roof.

Indistinctly, with the extraordinary hearing ability of the two of them, they could even hear the constant and clear crying sound in the distance, and the deep sadness filled the air.

Qin Shubao and Li Jing's expressions turned ugly in an instant.

"In the southern border, more than a dozen cities were plagued by locusts. For as long as half a month, all the stored food and the food still growing were eaten up."

"For more than half a month, on their way to Chang'an, more than 20 people starved to death, and more than 1 soldiers starved to death. The common people share weal and woe, and give their own food to their children, and..."

"I'm starving to death..."

Qin Shubao's voice became heavier and hoarse, with a trace of repressed solemnity.

heard this,

Immediately, Li Jing's heart was blocked. The bloody numbers, hundreds of thousands of people, died as soon as they said they died.

"This swarm of hateful locusts."

Li Jing gritted his teeth with hatred, his eyes almost burst into flames.

But he also knew that in the face of the general situation, when there was no food, not to mention the common people, even high-ranking generals like them would die!
Locusts are natural disasters and cannot be defended against.

Therefore, what Li Jing hated the most was the black hands behind the scenes who arranged all this.

Tens of 10 people died of starvation. Only when people arrived, did they know that millions of refugees were coming.

How many scouts did the person behind the scenes kill who came to report? !
Li Jing even felt that the locust plague in the south was not caused by heaven, but by this hidden force.

While Qin Shubao and Li Jing were talking, in front of the distant team, a figure riding a horse suddenly accelerated and left the team in an instant.

Heading towards them, the speed was extremely fast. In just a few dozen breaths, they covered a distance of several hundred meters and appeared in front of Qin Shubao and Li Jing.

The visitor was dressed in black armor, which was made of special materials, but it was in dilapidated condition at the moment.

There is still some burnt yellow on the face, obviously from being sunburned, and the lips are also chapped, and the overall appearance is very embarrassing.

There was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Seeing the two of them, the other party's voice was so excited that it was uncontrollable to say, "Li... General Li, General Qin, I... I, I, we finally see you!!"

After finishing speaking, a dignified general guarding one side actually cried out in front of the two of them, his voice was sad and painful, full of endless pain and despair.

The two looked at each other, and both saw the horror in each other's eyes.

You must know that this is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and every general did not rely on the results of the imperial examinations, but came out of the battlefield of killing and fighting, and they were all veterans of hundreds of battles.

On the way to Chang'an, what happened to them that could make a general who is used to life and death despair to such an extent? !
A man does not flick his tears lightly, not to mention the great general at the backbone of the Tang Dynasty, the decision maker who suppressed Fang and quelled all turmoil.

In an instant, the two of them felt a feeling of horror to the bone.

"Don't get excited, what happened, why didn't we receive the message until now?" Li Jing's heart beat faster, and he quickly comforted the other party.

"The people are all dead, all dead!!"

When the other party said this, there was horror in his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "More than a dozen cities in the south, the food supply was completely broken half a month ago, and they all died, and they all starved to death."

"For half a month, on our way to Chang'an, we ourselves were like locusts. We ate all the trees, grass, and flowers on the road that could be eaten."

"It can't be helped, there are too many refugees. Every day, every night, every hour, hundreds of people starve to death. When they sleep, they don't know if the friend they just made next door will marry me tomorrow. Heaven and man are separated."

As he spoke, he wept again sadly.

"Those...those locusts suddenly went crazy for some reason, frantically eating the food we planted, and they also know where we hide the food."

"Boundless, the sky and the earth are full of locusts, endlessly pouring out, and the sky is blackened by them."

The general's terrified pupils were shrinking, and his breath was trembling slightly, as if his body was trembling uncontrollably after seeing the horrific scene.

"There are too many locusts. Xiangzhou bears the brunt. It is an important place to store grain in the twelve cities in the south."

"We have countless Tang troops sitting in charge, and all kinds of elite weapons and war horses are all supplied first, and they are also the key cities where the resources of our twelve cities are tilted."

"However, it took less than a day for the locusts to cross the border. The soldiers resisted desperately. The arrows were all fired, and there was no way to stop them from eating food."

"All the food has been eaten up, and there is no food left. When our other city soldiers came to support, the whole city was left with nothing but desolation, desolate for hundreds of miles."

"It's a desert there, even more terrifying than a desert. The land is desolate, and the official road is like a wilderness. All the barracks seem to be blown by a strong wind, and there are tragic scenes of being ravaged everywhere."

"We thought it was just a coincidence, but the Xiangzhou tragedy began to repeat itself, and the desolate environment was everywhere."

"Since then, there have been too many refugees. It is impossible to count them. I only know that the corpses of people who starved to death are scattered all over the field. Every moment, people are lying on the road to Chang'an. Me, me, me, me..."

As he spoke, tears flowed from the corners of this person's eyes, his head was tightly clenched, and his eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred.

Witnessing with my own eyes that the food that millions of people depend on for survival is ravaged by locusts. This is simply a massacre, a mass extinction of the human race! !

"I was still in a village after it was ravaged, and I saw hundreds of corpses."

"They...they couldn't bear the fasting, they all encouraged each other, and then they made an appointment to commit suicide."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

He roared in pain: "General Li, General Qin, do you know that when they left, they were like stacking arhats, one person after another, forming a hill of more than ten meters, and they walked away with tears and smiles!"

"There...there..."

As he spoke, he suddenly choked up even more.

"There are still children there, they are not as tall as your knees, not as tall as your knees!!"

"My future newborn baby of Datang actually died in such despair for Datang!"

When he finished speaking, no matter whether it was Li Jing or Qin Shubao, their eyes widened in shock, and an indescribable anger brewed in their hearts and was about to explode.

The faces of the two of them instantly turned ferocious, their internal organs were overwhelmed, and they inhaled deeply and exhaled frantically.

Suddenly, Li Jing roared angrily, "Locusts, a group of evil animals, a group of evil animals!!"

Their voices were transmitted far away, and the soldiers at the gate of the city were all shocked.

Listening to the general's heart-rending narration, some soldiers dropped their weapons without knowing it, and just stood there in a daze.

Some soldiers, like Li Jing and Qin Shubao, became completely enraged, their teeth creaking, and they were trembling, not fear, but anger, extreme anger! !
The monstrous hatred burst out vigorously, burning like a flame, making the air flow with their angry breath.

"Beast!!"

"Beast!!"

The soldiers uttered angrily, from being untidy at the beginning, to gradually tidy, until they were all alone, uttering loud and clear yells.

At this time, the general from the southern city also continued with a choked voice: "When we regroup and prepare to fight the locusts in Jinzhou, the city behind us will also be hit almost at the same time."

"There are too many of them. The arrows of our soldiers are all dislocated, the daggers are useless, and the catapults are all broken apart. We have used everything that can be used, but we still can't stop the locusts from harming the crops and eroding everything. .”

"Under the leadership of General Li Zizai, we stood at the forefront and resisted desperately, but the number of locusts this time, even if we slashed until the sunset, no, we couldn't see the sunset at all that day."

"Because the locusts that day covered the sky and covered the earth, dyed the sky black for a whole day, and did not give us the slightest way to survive, and completely eroded the food we depend on for survival!!"

　Thanks to the book friend Lan-celot, the mud book friend for the reward, thank you! !
