Become a feudal king from today
Chapter 843: Blending in
"The final general will ensure that His Highness is safe and sound. Read М" Chang Wei looked at Zhao Xu, his eyes becoming determined.
In order to praise the country, the King of Yan put himself in danger. As a minister, he had no choice but to sacrifice his life to protect the King of Yan.
"I believe in you." Zhao Xu smiled sarcastically, "Be prepared now. If they besiege Jinling, they will lose all their money."
"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei gave Zhao Xu a military salute.
After Chang Wei turned around and left, Zhao Xu looked towards Jiangzhou.
The powerful army has moved, and he hopes that the royal army and the Fourth Court can cooperate properly and implement their plan smoothly.
…
Changcheng.
The stench outside the four city gates was overwhelming, and there was feces and urine everywhere.
The people looked sluggish, like grass and trees that had been exposed to the sun for a day, and they were crowded together in countless numbers.
Soldiers from the powerful clan patrolled the official roads and monitored every move of the people.
"It's time to give out porridge!"
It was evening when the soldiers in the porridge shed suddenly shouted.
The common people seemed to be alive, and they crowded towards the porridge shed with bowls in hand, fearing that they would be left behind. It was not until they were whipped by the powerful clan's whips that they reluctantly formed a queue.
"What kind of porridge is this? It's clearly water, and it's not letting anyone live." When it was a man's turn, he couldn't help but get angry when he saw that there were only three or five grains of rice in the bowl of water.
"If there's rice, it's porridge. Whatever it's called, if you don't want to eat it, get out of here. Don't delay me, sir. I'll give you porridge." The general in the porridge shed pointed at the man with a fierce look on his face, "There's not enough food now, so if you have some, it's good. Don't be picky." Picky."
The man refused and said, "When we moved west, what did you say? Ten thousand promised to give us enough to eat. Is this a fart? You don't have to give us food to eat. Let us go back. Now the rice is growing golden." , I’ll collect it soon, I don’t care about your porridge.”
"That's right, you are lying."
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have moved west with you. I wouldn't be able to live a good life. I'm here to suffer."
"Yes, let's go back to harvest rice."
"..."
The man's words aroused the concern for their own rice in the hearts of the people, and many young and vigorous people shouted angrily.
Seeing the excitement among the people, the general in the porridge shed turned gloomy and shouted: "Come here, capture him and tie him to a stake to show the public."
Two powerful soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers immediately pounced on him.
"I will fight with you." The man was also completely angry, and the soldiers from the same clan started fighting.
However, he had been hungry for many days and had no strength at all. He was immediately pushed to the ground by the powerful soldiers and kicked and punched.
Then the man was tied to a wooden stake erected on the official road.
When the other young men saw it, they stopped making noise and shrank back.
This wooden stake was specially used by the powerful clan to rectify the troublesome people.
After being tied to a wooden stake and not being given food or drink, they would die in the sun for two days.
But even though he was frightened, a rage burned in his heart.
The powerful general smiled proudly and cursed: "A bunch of despicable mud-legged people, they still want to play tricks on each other."
After that, he ordered the soldiers to continue giving porridge and walked towards Changcheng in a confident manner.
Different from the scene outside Changcheng, Changcheng at this moment is actually more prosperous than before.
The streets are busy with traffic, filled with children of powerful and wealthy families and merchants wearing silk and satin clothes.
They either had power or money. When they moved westward, their large and small carts were filled with their belongings, unlike the common people who could only carry a package on their backs.
When they arrived in Changcheng, they either used power or money, and could always find a place to live in Changcheng. Although their lives were worse than before, it didn't have much impact.
He is still surrounded by maids and beautiful concubines all day long, and there is no shortage of big fish and meat.
For a time, the prices of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep near Changcheng soared.
After entering the city, the powerful general saw a man coming towards him, and immediately bowed and saluted, "General."
This person is none other than Xie An.
"I and General Wang will soon lead the army to Jinling to regain the homeland of Ningzhou. I will leave the defense of Changcheng to you. Remember, don't let the people cause trouble." Xie An said.
This powerful general's surname is also Xie, and his given name is Xie Kang. He is a descendant of his Xie family.
"General, don't worry, these weaklings will not be able to defeat the enemy in the hands of the general." Xie Kang looked confident.
Xie An nodded, "To be on the safe side, I will leave you another 20,000 people. If we gather 50,000 people, don't be careless."
During this move westward, four million people poured into Jiangzhou from Zhezhou.
They divided these four million people into seven counties in Jiangzhou.
Among them, the number of people staying near Changcheng was the largest, numbering in the millions.
These common people will become their stable source of troops at critical moments.
But in recent times, with the consumption of grain and grass, they can supply less and less food to the people, and the people are becoming more and more dissatisfied.
Therefore, they could only mobilize the army to guard the people and prevent them from escaping or causing trouble.
But in his opinion, there are benefits to starving the people.
When they need soldiers, they only need to give them a few bowls of state, and young men will rush to serve as soldiers.
"Yes, general." The general who defended the city responded again.
Xie An nodded and returned to the mansion.
In the next three days, the powerful armies set off from Changcheng one after another towards Jinling.
The movements of the powerful army did not escape the eyes of the four courtyards' informants.
While they sent the intelligence to Jinling, they also made contact with the generals of the Third Army hiding in the mountains and forests east of Changcheng.
"Their army has not gone far yet. Waiting for another day will be the perfect opportunity to start an uprising. We will take the opportunity to blend in with the people tonight."
In Wuling Mountain, thirty miles east of Changcheng, five thousand soldiers of the Third Army, led by guard commander Pang San, have been dormant here for five days.
The leading team members from the Fourth Hospital have already made contact with the team members from the Fourth Hospital in Changcheng.
"The people have been looking forward to this day for a long time. I told them that they still don't believe it. After tonight, they will definitely be ecstatic." He Dong said.
He is the spy of the Fourth Academy who has infiltrated among the people of Changcheng.
During this period, he won over many people and laid the foundation for the uprising.
It's just that the people were a little hesitant because they were frightened by the weapons of the powerful army.
Now, just waiting for the royal army to fire the first shot, the people will break through the cage that the powerful clan restrains them like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
This was agreed upon.
In the middle of the night, Pang San led the soldiers to follow He Dong to Changcheng.
After mixing among the people of Changcheng for a long time, He Dong figured out the temperament of the powerful soldiers.
As long as they don't cause trouble, the powerful soldiers don't bother to care about them.
He often sleeps while on patrol.
Therefore, he took advantage of the midnight shift to lead a group of royal soldiers to sneak into the common people.
When the powerful soldiers were dozing off, he led some soldiers to mix into the crowd.
Due to the large number of people outside Changcheng, the 5,000 soldiers of the Third Army entered among the people, just like water droplets flowing into the sea, without causing any waves.
But the soldiers of the Shi tribe didn't know what happened, but the people knew what happened.
After all, the royal soldiers came to their side.
