Chapter 250 The Art of Resentment

"General, it's not good, something serious has happened! The granary suddenly caught fire for some reason, and I have asked my brothers to put out all the efforts to save it." Fang Zichou rushed in sweating profusely, and greeted Zhao Li who had just bandaged the wound. roared.

Zhao Li hurriedly put on his battle robe, frowned and asked: "The gate of the city has been blocked, how could such a thing happen? It is absolutely impossible for the Jin people to enter the city to do evil? Could it be that we have fallen into a trick, and those descendants Among the soldiers, there are fine works of Jinren?"

Fang Zichou saw that Zhao Li's shoulder was inconvenient, so he helped him tie the silk ribbon on the general's robe.Sighed: "I have already asked the four soldiers guarding the granary. They have never seen anyone enter the granary. I also feel very strange about this matter. Even a mouse can't get into a good granary. Why did it suddenly Is it going to catch fire?" Zhao Li ran out without waiting for Fang Zichou to finish speaking...

The granary is the most important place in the military garrison. It looks like a big pot and is sealed with diamonds.According to legend, this has been the case in the granaries that store grain in the city since the Sui Dynasty. Not only is the grain stored for a long time, it is not easy to grow moths.After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, the stored grain in the granary has been eaten by Datang for 50 years!The granary is closed all the year round, and only the grain handlers and quartermasters are allowed in and out.Anyone else who wanted to enter the granary had to have a letter from Zhao Li and Fang Zichou, otherwise they would be arrested by the soldiers guarding the granary as spies.

Zhao Li rushed into the grain depot with a sullen face, and the crackling ears of rice were being heated and exploded in the thick smoke.The fire has been extinguished by the soldiers in the camp, and nearly [-]% of the rice in the granary has turned into coke.Zhao Li's eyeballs were about to fall out, and when he picked up the rice in the sack on the surface of the granary and rubbed it with his hands, it almost turned into charcoal grains.At this time, the quartermaster was busy directing the soldiers to transport out bags of unburned sacks, and the choking smoke made the soldiers cry.Zhao Li didn't say a word and helped the soldiers rush to transport the rice. After the rescue of the rice, the quartermaster checked and found that there was not enough food and grass to last the defenders for ten days.

Zhao Li held back his anger and asked the soldiers guarding the granary, "What happened? Why did the granary catch fire? What granary are you guarding?"

The faces of the four soldiers guarding the granary turned pale with fright, and a soldier in charge said tremblingly, "Great... General, please spare me. Our brothers have been guarding outside the granary, but we really didn't see anyone go in and set fire to it."

Zhao Li looked up at the towering stone wall of the granary. If someone came in and set fire to it, the soldiers in the camp would definitely notice it.Now that the inner city has been blocked, even if there is a spy to set fire, it can only be hidden in the city. A thorough investigation of the whole city must bring the wicked to justice.Zhao Li punched the thick stone wall, causing the empty granary to buzz and echo.

Zhao Lida yelled, "Where is Fang Zichou? I ordered you to bring soldiers to thoroughly investigate all suspicious people in the city, and we must arrest this arsonist!"

"The general has not taken orders, brothers, let's go." Fang Zichou had just left with his soldiers when Zhao Li heard a galloping horse galloping from far to near.

"Report..., the water source in the city of the general has been poisoned. Many people in the city died of poisoning, and the poisoned people were frothing at the mouth and bleeding to death. General, go and have a look, there are hundreds of people in the city. Ten people were poisoned."

The leak in the house was met with continuous rain, and the fire in the granary was not resolved, and the disaster of poisoning the water source occurred.Zhao Li settled down and thought about it, it seems that the two things were not done by the people in the city, who would poison himself to death!The city wall is three feet high, and the one who wants to escape from the Chuzhou mansion after being poisoned is unless he has wings...

Fang Zichou led his soldiers to inspect the whole city, but he didn't see any trace of the golden man.Only the common people, who were full of complaints, were panicked and didn't know what to do.The doctor in the army has given acupuncture to detoxify the poisoned people, but the effect is not humane.The streets of the inner city were full of dead people everywhere, and Zhao Li's hair turned gray overnight.The stock in the hands of the people in Chuzhou Mansion is not much, and every family will come out in the middle of the night to catch some fish and shrimp by the river in the city to satisfy their hunger.Unexpectedly, everyone who ate the fish and shrimp in the river today would bleed and die from the poison within a short while.

Just after the fifth watch, the golden soldiers outside the city were beating drums to attack the city again.The defenders at the top of the city blew their warning horns, and the soldiers who had just finished saving food and patrolling the city raised their bows to meet the enemy again.Zhao Li followed the soldiers to the top of the city, and the descending troops of the Wangjin people were being driven by Wan Yanchang's cavalry to shoot arrows at the top of the city. The defenders fought back at the bottom of the city, but the defenders obviously had no more arrows. .The momentum of the counterattack became weak, and the Jin people unscrupulously attacked frantically under the city in turn.The guards on the top of the city did not have enough rest and were shot and killed many by the Jinren's descending army, and the war became a massacre!

Wan Yanchang, with an ecstatic expression on his face, was riding a horse and was about to order the whole army to attack the city.Woli, who was standing next to him, listened to the city chickens and dogs jumping around in the Chuzhou mansion, making a cloudy smile and said: "Tut laziness, the resentment in the city has begun to flourish, so let's leave it like this today. You can order the soldiers to withdraw, I don't want it." Everyone inside is dead!"

Wan Yanchang was puzzled and said: "Capturing the city is like picking something out of a pocket. The soldiers defending the city from the Southern Barbarians are no longer able to fight back. If we don't take this good opportunity to take down the Chuzhou Mansion, when will we wait?"

Wuli laughed loudly and said, "Tutlan, if I wanted to destroy the city, I could kill all the chickens and dogs in the whole city of Chuzhou Prefecture last night. But killing them all will make them cheaper. I'm already in the city. Played the art of accumulating grievances. Lazy, just wait and see. There is going to be a good show in the city, hahaha..."

Wan Yanchang was terrified by Wu Lixiao, and quickly asked: "Great wizard, what is the technique of accumulating grudges? What do we need that thing for?"

"Hehehe, the technique of accumulating grievances is to lower the head on the dead, and let the living resent each other. Such dead people become resentful souls. Unfortunately, I won't let them die so easily. Lazy you Listen carefully, I only need you to attack the city and kill [-] people every day. With their corpse accumulating grievances, it will help you against the sky. That Zhao Li must not let him die now. Just do what I say." Wan Yanchang thought for a while, laughed and waved his horn to withdraw the soldiers, and the golden cavalry laughed wildly at the defenders at the top of the city, taunting and cursing, and slowly retreated to the barracks... …

Zhao Li on the top of the wall frowned and was speechless, he didn't understand what the golden man was doing?Chuzhou Mansion is now in a precarious situation, and Wan Yanchang is not in a hurry to attack the city. What is he going to do?Zhao Li couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand Jinren's plan.Inexplicably, an unknown flame rose in Zhao Li's heart. He really wanted to jump off the wall and fight Wan Yanchang to the death...

"General, all the arrows in our hands have been used up. The quartermaster said that the inner city is short of armaments, and there are no arrows to supply us. The arrows we use today are the ones that the Jinmen shot on the top of the city yesterday, but we can They don’t use much. I hope the general can supply us with a pot of arrows each, and we will surely make it difficult for the Jin people to move forward!” Kong Renyi, in ragged clothes, kept guarding the city for a whole night. Looking at him, Zhao Li seemed to have a little peace in his heart.

Zhao Li went up and patted him on the shoulder lightly and asked, "How old are you? What did you do before joining the army?"

"I'm seventeen, and I opened a steamed stuffed bun shop at home before I joined the army. Our ancestral craftsmanship, no one in Qingzhou does not know the Kong family's beef and scallion steamed buns. Alas, when the Jin people attacked Shandong, I was conscripted into the army by the prefect of Qingzhou Huihui I haven't seen my family anymore... I heard from the groom who raised the horses of the Jin people...the people in Qingzhou City were slaughtered...there is no more living..." Kong Renyi choked up and said, which made Zhao Li's heart ignite again Raging rage.

"Soldiers, brothers, our armaments are almost exhausted now. Wanyanchang attacked the city for seven days and seven nights last time. We won and Wanyanchang was defeated by us. However, the imperial court has not distributed our armaments. Supplies, but we will not give in, we can use stones to smash them without arrows, and we will fight with the Jinmen when the stones are used up. We must fight to the last one soldier, and vow to coexist with Chuzhou government!" Zhao He immediately drew out his long sword, cut off the general's robe, and tied it on the city wall of Chuzhou Prefecture.The defenders of the Song Army looked at the blood-stained battle flag as if they saw a little firefly hope. The defenders began to pick up the unbroken arrows shot by the Jinmen on the top of the city and put them in their quiver.The dead and wounded soldiers were immediately sent to the city by their companions, and the defenders suddenly had all kinds of ambitions again.Zhao Li didn't know who among these defenders would be buried tomorrow, and who of them would become wounded soldiers in the city...

When Zhao Li was thinking about himself, a large group of people rushed up from the city, they clenched their fists and were furious as if they wanted to swallow Zhao Li alive.Zhao Li looked at them and sighed miserably: "The disaster in the city is my fault. I didn't take good care of everyone. I, Zhao Li, cannot make up for the pain of the people of Chuzhou Prefecture. If you think there is any way to relieve your grievances, just do it Say it. As long as I'm still alive, I will try my best to protect the Chuzhou government!"

The people were so angry that they rushed to the top of the city and were surprised to see it.The densely packed tents of golden men outside the city had completely surrounded the Chuzhou Prefecture, and it was undoubtedly a dream to escape from the city.The blood of the defenders has not yet solidified, and a large piece of bedding is covered on the top of the city.The wailing of the wounded soldiers and the difficulty in closing the eyes of the dead soldiers shocked the common people.

Fang Zichou led his troops to rush in from the people's wall, protected Zhao Li and said anxiously to the people: "Everyone, don't get excited, the general is defending the city for you! Once the city gate is broken, the whole city will be destroyed by Jin people." Humiliation and killing, you are all because of family members who have suffered misfortune. But you look here, you go to the city to see those brothers who were killed or injured. They are all old and young, but their blood has been left in Chuzhou forever In the mansion. Your misfortune was not brought by the general, but by those golden dogs outside the city. Then the little revenge is like, defending the Chuzhou mansion with us like before!"

Zhao Li grabbed Fang Zichou and walked among the common people.A big man in the crowd punched Zhao Li violently, pointed at Zhao Li and cursed: "I am Feng Yi, a stonemason in Chuzhou Prefecture. You sealed the inner city. My whole family is cut off from food. My daughter-in-law and children went to the river to look for food before dawn...they just...they never came back! I want revenge! I want to kill those golden dogs, because they made me have no food! I want gold Dog..." Feng Yi's resentment immediately ignited the common anger of the people, and all the males among the people joined Zhao Li's garrison.All of this is exactly what Wuli wanted...
