Chapter 250 Fourth Tragedy

"I...I..." The old horse hesitated and couldn't speak when asked by Zhao Li, and he was protecting the crock with both hands.This made Zhao Li even more suspicious. Zhao Li opened the earthen pot with a serious face, and only saw water chestnuts and a few pieces of white mince that were cut into minced meat.

Zhao Li frowned and asked: "What kind of meat is this? Come on, call me the soldiers from the kitchen. The soldiers in the city have eaten up all the leather armor, and the people in the city rely on cooking water chestnuts." , Toon locust leaf to survive. The chaff is eaten up, and even a mouse can’t be found in the city, where is the sparrow meat?" When the old horse heard that Zhao Li was already puzzled, he thumped and knelt on the ground, but he still didn’t say a word .

Several soldiers in the kitchen were brought to the top of the wall by Fang Zichou. When they saw the old horse kneeling, they hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Great General, please don't make things difficult for the chef..."

Zhao Li shouted: "I just want to know if there is still meat in the city?"

"General, the water chestnut broth we just sent to the barracks... that meat... the head chef himself...cut off his leg... and boiled it in the soup. General Chuzhou's mansion has been out of food for a long time, and there are many The wounded soldiers all starved to death because there was no food to eat! The chef said that if there was no more meat in the city, the soldiers guarding the city would starve to death if they were not shot by the golden dog! So the chef said I cut off my own meat...cook it for everyone to eat, General, don't ask me any more..." The soldiers in the kitchen were already sobbing, choked up and unable to speak.

Although Zhao Li knew that since the age of Bingwu in Jingkang, gold thieves invaded Huaxia indiscriminately.In three or four years, rice in Shandong, West Beijing, Huainan and other places was as expensive as gold and unobtainable.The thieves, officers, soldiers and even residents in the local area cooked each other with dead people.Those who kill and sell meat are mostly like ox hair, and the price of human flesh is lower than that of dogs and hogs.The fat ones are worth only fifteen thousand dollars each, and the whole body is cruel.The old and thin men are called "old fire", the young women are called "buxian sheep", and the children are called "hegulan", also called "two-legged sheep"....Unexpectedly, in the Chuzhou Mansion today, he was forced to eat human flesh. Zhao Li trembled all over while holding the earthen pot.

Fang Zichou came over to help the old horse, and turned to Zhao Li and said, "General, you don't have to be alarmed. In the Chuzhou Mansion, the common people have already lived in misery for their lives. There are some people in the garrison who want to save a bite for their husbands." After her husband went out to guard the city, he found a rope and strangled the child to death, and then hanged himself to death! General, these are all things that happened recently in the Chu state mansion, and the people are all full of resentment. But they I also understand that you have done your best, General, you might as well ask the guards on the top of the city, how many relatives in their families died for food!" Fang Zichou said this, and the soldiers on the top of the city started Sobbing...

The old horse said sadly: "General, the overall situation is the most important thing in everything. Chuzhou Mansion is now at the end of its rope. There are so many loyal soldiers buried under the city. They just want to keep the city from being broken by the golden dog. Dead. If we living people are all starved to death, what face do we have to meet them when the city is broken? In the Chuzhou mansion, the only food left for the living is starved corpses. Ruthless, save your life to have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Zhao Li was in the general's mansion, and he was always concerned about the conflict between the Jin people, and he really didn't know as well as Fang Zichou and Lao Ma about the people in the city.When it was learned that the people in the city had reached the point of fratricide because of saving a bite, apart from shock, it was also a kind of deep self-blame.The life of the people in the whole city is more difficult than that of the soldiers, and now they can only stick to this place, waiting for the final decisive battle with the Jinren. Whether they live or die depends entirely on God's will.

Zhao Li was silent for a long time, looking at the soldiers who were crying because of misfortune at home, he shouted: "Brothers, for those soldiers who died, for the defense of Chuzhou Prefecture, for your family members who died... we have no choice but to live Going down is the most important thing..."

From then on, the defenders often ate shredded meat and sliced ​​meat, and no one would ask where the meat came from.He only knew that after eating, he would have the strength to lift stones and kill the golden man, and only by killing the golden man would he be able to keep the Chu state capital.In this way, the Chuzhou government struggled for another three months by eating the flesh of dead people.For three months, the imperial court still had no news, and the people in the city were crazy enough to see people who were starving to death, they would rush up and raise their knives to get meat for raw food. Chuzhou Mansion became a hell on earth...

Zhao Li was already unable to restrain the hungry people, so he called Kong Renyi to discuss with the quartermaster all night.Suddenly there was a bun shop in the city, and the guys in the bun shop were all soldiers without military uniforms.They distribute hundreds of steamed buns to the people in the city every day, and they can only do their best with a drop in the bucket.The population of Chuzhou Mansion has dropped by half in the past three months, leaving only 7000 people...

In the night of Chuzhou Mansion, Wo Li raised his hands flat and closed his eyes tightly, floating in mid-air.On the top of Woli's head, a seven-story jade pagoda carved from jet-black black jade was spinning rapidly. As the jade pagoda turned, a foul-smelling gust of wind suddenly blew from the jade pagoda.The corpses of the Jin army outside the Chuzhou Mansion were blown in the strong wind, pieces of stinky and maggot-filled carrion fell off, and the bones cracked in an instant and made a slight sound.The souls outside the city and in the city were attracted by the jade pagoda above Wuli's head, and they gathered in front of the jade pagoda to form blue beads the size of a thumb.All kinds of curses and screams of fear rushed towards Woli like a tide...

Wo Li opened his eyes slightly, and made a big circle with his hands.Wo Li chanted the curse of witchcraft to raise ghosts, and a white light appeared in the circle from his hand.The cursing sound in the cyan bead became louder and louder, and the cursing sound in the white light turned into a miserable cry.Countless grievances were transformed into the Jade Pagoda, and after all the resentment was absorbed into the Jade Pagoda, the cyan beads became vaguely transparent and finally fell into the Jade Pagoda...

Wan Yanchang waited eagerly outside the barracks, and when he saw Wuli coming back, he couldn't wait to meet him and said, "Great wizard, how is the matter of collecting resentful souls going?"

Wuli smiled softly and said: "Talk, everything is under control. I have observed the Chuzhou Prefecture, and now the inner city is full of cannibalism, horrible and resentful. Ten days later, when the time comes, you And make a catapult for attacking the city, break through the city and kill everyone in the city, and I will help you accomplish it in my own way!"

Wan Yanchang looked at Wuli suspiciously, and twitched at the corner of his mouth, "Great Wizard, you let us spend so long here, and it will take another ten days to attack the city? We don't understand the timing and opportunity you mentioned , how can I believe that you will help me succeed?"

Wuli took out a jade pagoda less than one foot from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Talk, this pagoda is the pagoda of the undead. There are tens of thousands of undead collected by me in the Southern and Northern Wars. Their resentment is enough to make the world pale The sun and the moon have no light. With this pagoda, I can change your fate against the sky and make you the ruler of the world! What can you not trust?" Actually, Wo Li would not change Wan Yanchang's fate against the sky He just wanted to use Wan Yanchang's military power to accumulate resentment for him.After ten days, Qi Xing Lianzhu will change the sky and seize the position of Jin Taizong with the spirit of resentment, and he will be able to dominate the world by himself!

Wan Yanchang looked at the jade pagoda and laughed loudly: "How can such a small jade pagoda help me accomplish anything?"

Wuli said contemptuously: "The power of the grudge in the tower is beyond your imagination. You will understand after breaking the city on ten days..."

The inner city of Chuzhou Mansion became very cold-blooded due to cannibalism. Zhao An led soldiers to patrol the city, and from time to time, he would see some people peeking around on the street.The whole city was filled with a lingering haze, and the hunger made the people and soldiers feel numb.As long as there are wounded soldiers or those who are hungry and faint, sooner or later they will become someone else's food...

Zhao Li had nothing to do about it. If the city gate could be opened, he would rather rush out and fight the golden man to death than live a life like this.

"Ah..." A shrill scream pierced the dead night sky, and Zhao Li followed the sound with his soldiers to find it.He couldn't run any longer, and the night patrol soldiers staggered from hunger.When Zhao Li and the soldiers got down from the top of the city, they saw a bamboo basket discarded by the side of the road. There were two or three water chestnuts and a sharp knife in the bamboo basket.There was a pool of blood on the bare loess, and several people were eating a middle-aged woman with knives in their hands...

Zhao Lida shouted: "You... what are you doing!"

An old woman in her 60s and [-]s trembled and said, "Aunt Mao... starved to death when digging water chestnut... we just... who knows she's not dead yet..." Zhao Li held up a torch to light it, and four or five elderly people Zheng Dao cut his hands and stuffed the bloody meat into his mouth.The middle-aged woman on the ground was already dead, spitting blood and froth, her upper body was almost naked, and the bloody scars were shocking.If it weren't for her long hair, it would be really hard to tell whether the hungry skinny body is a man or a woman...

Soldiers saw that middle-aged women were numb to the point of indifference when they were fed by hungry people. This kind of thing is so common among the people, and some people even rely on killing living people to eat their flesh.Zhao Li was at a loss and didn't know what to say. People on the street joined the ranks of cannibals one after another.It won't be long before this unknown middle-aged woman will be eaten up...

Zhao Li returned to the General's Mansion in a daze in the city, the screams of the dying woman seemed to be still echoing in Zhao Li's ears.Zhao Li drafted a memorial to Emperor Gaozong in front of his desk, besieging Chujiang Mansion by Jin General Wan Yanchang's army since April.After more than half a year, the food and grass in the city were exhausted.The common people live a life of cannibalism, and the army has reached the point where they use the flesh of fallen soldiers to fight against the Jin people.I hope that Tianen Fuze Guangshi will send troops to help Chuzhou Prefecture as soon as possible...

It's a pity that this memorial will never reach Zhao Gou's hands. Wan Yanchang will destroy the city in ten days after completing the integration of armaments outside the city...
