Jinyi Night Walk

On the street, there are many women, young and beautiful, who used to be ladies from rich families, and many of them are big girls from good families.Since a month ago, in this city, a small bag of rice can be exchanged for a big girl with yellow flowers to sleep with you. Half a month ago, it only needs a meal, and now it only needs a steamed bun.But at this point, no one is willing to change even a bun. No one knows how long the Yan army will be trapped in the city, and no one knows when the imperial army will come to relieve the siege. At this time, I also save money on food and expenses, and I don't want to waste a grain of food anymore.

It was already summer, and people who starved to death were lying in the streets and alleys. Because the cleaning team had been disbanded, they could not clean up in time. Some corpses were left there for many days. It was extremely hot in July. Just in the rainy puddle, exposed to the scorching sun, the whole body slowly swelled up like a steamed bun. At some point, with a "poof", the stomach exploded, and the corpse spread out, making the person want to vomit .

But those people not far away are insensitive and seem to be completely unconscious.They were just lying there with their swollen bellies, because apart from water, there was water, and other things that seemed to be edible but not nutritious, and you could see the color inside through their bellies.

Their faces have no expression at all, just lying there, staring straight at the sky, sometimes moaning "hungry, hungry", then you know that he is still alive.When they were silent, their eyes were fixed and motionless, and you didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

The army has begun to act, and all the rules and laws in peacetime must be subject to military needs in wartime.The soldiers searched for food from house to house, and when a house smoked, the horses would be spotted by the soldiers patrolling the streets, and they would immediately search the door and take away the pot.During the war, everything is subject to power, and all food is supplied in a centralized manner.

Defending Jinan will be the greatest feat and glory, but it is inevitable that those people who are reluctant to be tied to the chariot must bear the consequences of this war.A city gate was opened in Jinan City, and a group of refugees were released to fend for themselves.Just as they were lucky to have escaped into Jinan City at the beginning, they secretly rejoiced that they were the first to escape from Jinan City.

Because the generals of the Yan army didn't understand what happened to these yellow-faced and emaciated refugees who would collapse at the first blow, they suddenly ran out of the city, so the first group of people who escaped from the city were lucky enough to slip away, and even luckier, some of them He also got alms from some soldiers, throwing him a steamed bun with only half a thorn in it.

But when the Yan army understood the intention of the defenders in the city, Yan Wang Zhu Di gave an order, and the barracks outside the besieged city turned into another besieged city, refusing to allow anyone to come out unless the defenders in the city surrendered. Otherwise, the refugees must all return to the city.

The refugees wanted to go back to the city, but they couldn't go back. When they were driven out of the city, the city gate was firmly locked again. The door is still standing still: no matter how hard they barge in, kneel down, even some big girls and young wives show their breasts and sacrifice their appearance without shame, trying to win the mercy of the Yan army, they are always greeted by cold knives and guns.

one day……

In this place, there is no water to drink. To show their determination to expel them, the city leaders will not throw water bags; The extremely weak man lay down like this.

The next day, another group of people were driven out from the city. At this time, not many people who were driven out on the first day could stand or sit.

Three days later, another group of people came out... "Master Tie..." A few officials saw the miserable scene in the city and couldn't bear it anymore.

"Needless to say! If Tie Dang could replace him with his body, why would he waste his body? But..." In order to defeat Yan Ni, he had to do it!Compassion does not command soldiers, love does not stand up!You don't have to say it!Continue to make a batch every day to drive out the refugees and not allow them to carry a grain of rice out of the city! "

The petty officials only retreated.

Tie Dang stood still, maybe his heart was bleeding, but his face was like cast iron, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion. Going further, he wants to defeat Yan Ni's plan and keep the emperor's country. The soldiers can sacrifice their blood, but who can't?

Zhu Di also remained motionless in the watchtower of the Yan Army camp.

Tie Xuan wanted to evacuate the people to collect food for the military, how could he not know?To let Tie Xuan calmly plan, it is necessary to increase the casualties of his siege officers and soldiers, who is more ruthless?Zhu Di sneered.

"I beg you, let us go, we are not soldiers and horses of the imperial court, please..."

The pleadings were loud, because they were too hungry to speak.Those soldiers and generals are killing gods who beheaded owls on the battlefield without changing their expressions, but fighting on the battlefield is one thing, it is equivalent to killing unarmed civilians like this, that is another thing; It's one thing, it's another thing to see them gasping for breath and exhausting their last trace of vitality.

For the soldiers of the Yan Army who guarded the side of the trench to prevent the refugees from fleeing, it was also an unspeakable torment. They watched those people die inch by inch with their own eyes, or they couldn't bear the hunger and thirst and committed suicide. , There are also some dying mothers, seeing that they cannot escape, they throw their dying babies or children over the trenches, what should you do?Can you throw it back again?

Qiu Fu, the head of the vanguard battalion, endured for a few days, and couldn't stand it any longer. He found Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu and other close friends for a chat, and they came to Zhu Di together.

Before they could speak, Zhu Ji said indifferently: "Zhu Oak is Yan Ni, you are Yan bandits, you and I are all rebels who belong to the same family, but the people who should be protected by them have become They increase the hostages of winning chips, is it funny? Kindness does not command soldiers, kindness does not become king, this king is only responsible for my army and people!"

The generals were dumbfounded when they heard this, and there was a moment of silence. Zhang Yu, who was most trusted by Zhu Di, was encouraged by the eyes of the generals, and said bravely: "Your Highness, the conspiracy of Sheng Yong, Tiedang and others, the last general will naturally understand. But although their intentions are sinister, we have no choice but to accept the move."

"Oh, how do you say it?"

Zhu Di was slightly moved, and then he said.

Zhang Yudao: "Your Highness, there is indeed a shortage of food in the city. Although it is true that they plundered the people's food to supply military supplies, they believe that the dynasty is still around, and they are righteous. Any behavior can be advertised as being for the country. They can say that these people stay in The city will die sooner or later, letting them out of the city is for them to fend for themselves, if we allow countless refugees to die under the city, the people all over the world will curse His Highness and the Yan army."

After hearing this, Zhu Di remained silent. He walked slowly in the tent for a long time before he stood still and sighed, "Iron Diamond, you are so cruel! This round, you have won!"

For two months, Xia Xun's stored grain and pickles were almost gone.He also panicked, what to do if this continues?

He often went out to inquire about the news. Although he couldn't grasp the news outside the city, he could learn something from the reaction in the city through the mouth of the refugees.He was horrified to see the miserable scene like hell on earth.He also wants to help others, but who can he help?Even the officers and soldiers who were supposed to protect the countryside and the people, who still had food in their warehouses that could last for several months, started to take precautions to grab that life-saving food from the people. What could he do?

With food in his hands, he could only watch others die in a horrible way. Xia Zhu's conscience was also tortured endlessly. He was awakened from nightmares countless times. The only thing he could do was to reduce the time he spent going out. Out of sight, out of sight, until his heart became numb because of the commonplace.

For thank you, he didn't dare to think about it.He used to travel all over the city, but he couldn't find the girl who looked like Xie Xie, and now he didn't want to look for it anymore, he only hoped that Xie Xie was not in the city, otherwise, what he found might be a pile of carrion and bones, or else he would just pass by. ...

Whenever he went out, he saw the row of women sitting dully on the side of the road, no matter who they were, as long as they took out a steamed bun and shook it, they would obediently follow him and let him manipulate them, he would shudder.

At this moment, cheers erupted in the city, and Xia Xun, who was sitting in the backyard of Changchun Temple worrying, jumped up, thinking: "Could it be that King Yan has retreated?" For more than two months, he couldn't remember exactly how long it took King Yan to besiege the city, so he jumped over the wall and ran to the street in joy.

Compared with the countless sallow, emaciated, weak people on the street, Xia Xun could be regarded as a dragon and a tiger, even though he had been eating pickles for two months.Of course, there are still people who look like Xia Xun, and rich people always have their own ways.Money can pass through the gods, this is an iron law that works at any time.

When Xia Xun usually went out to inquire about the news, he had heard that according to Cao Yanei, the son of the Inspector General Cao, he was secretly selling grain and grass. The grain he sold was priced in gold and silver. Those rich people have to buy food from him, even if they lose their entire family, they still have to be grateful to him, Biru... at this time, if you are with other people, you can't buy food even if you have money.

"The King of Yan has let us go, and the King of Yan has allowed us to leave Jinan."

Between the words, it seems that Jinan City has become a ghost town, and at this moment, it can finally escape from purgatory.The skinny refugees, who had already cried dry their tears, burst into tears at this moment, but they were also inexplicably excited. At the same time, they all rushed to the only city gate that could be opened to the outside world... the East City.Although it is faltering, there is hope of life after all.

Dongcheng Gate, just like when refugees flooded into Jinan City, countless people, including the residents of Jinan City, are helping the old and the young, desperately trying to squeeze out of the city.But the city gate was only ajar, and many soldiers with knives forced the people close to the city gate into a row, which seemed to be to prevent the Yan army from rushing into the city, and the gate could be closed at any time.

"Get out, get out!"

The soldiers of the Ming army said one by one: "You, stand aside.

You, too! "

Xia Xun was a little puzzled: "Why can some people leave and some people can't?"

Standing in the fleeing team, he carefully observed those who were not allowed to go out of the city, and suddenly he felt a jump in his heart: "No! These people are more male than female, but no matter whether they are male or female, as long as they are selected out, they will be the same as those who are weak and walking. Compared with the wobbly people, they all look good and have strength, they pinned these people out, shit! Grab the strong man, this is..." Old iron!you are vicious! "!!
