[Chapter 825 Mixing In]
in “The final general will ensure His Highness is safe and sound.” Chang Wei looked at Zhao Xu, his eyes became firm.
In order to praise the country, the King of Yan risked his life. As a courtier, Huo Qu was the only one to protect the King of Yan with his life.
“I trust you.” Zhao Xu smiled sassyly, “Prepare now, if they besiege Jinling, they will lose everything.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei gave a military salute to Zhao Xu.
After Chang Wei turned to leave, Zhao Xu looked in the direction of Jiangzhou.
The clan’s army has already moved, and he hopes that the royal army and the Fourth Court will cooperate properly and implement their plan smoothly.
…
Changcheng.
Outside the four city gates, the stench is smoky, and feces and urine are everywhere.
The common people’s expressions were languid, like the grass and trees that had been sunbaked for a day, the black and white were crowded together, and there were countless numbers.
Soldiers of the power clan patrolled the official roads and monitored every move of the people.
“It’s the porridge!”
It was evening, and the soldiers in the porridge shed suddenly shouted.
The common people seemed to come alive, carrying their bowls and pushing towards the porridge shed, fearing that they would be left behind, until they were whipped by the power clan, they barely formed a queue.
“What kind of porridge is this? It’s clear water, and it’s killing people.” When it was a man’s turn, he couldn’t help being furious when he saw that there were only three or five grains of rice in a bowl of water.
“If there is rice, it is porridge. What is it called? Get out if you don’t eat it. Don’t delay the master and I will give you the porridge.” The general in the porridge shed pointed at the man with a fierce expression on his face. Pick and choose.” The
man refused to give up, “When we moved to the west, what did you say, 10,000 promises to feed us, is this farting? It’s okay not to feed us, let us go back, Now the rice is growing golden and can be harvested immediately, I don’t care for your porridge.”
“That’s right, you lied to me.”
“I knew I wouldn’t have moved west with you, but I just lived a good life, and came here to suffer.”
“Yes, let’s go back to harvest rice.”
“…” The
man’s words aroused the hearts of the people Concerned about their own rice, many young and strong people who are full of blood scolded loudly.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the people, the general in the porridge shed turned gloomy, and shouted: “Come on, arrest him and tie him to a stake for public display.”
Two powerful soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers rushed over immediately.
“I’m fighting with you.” The man was also completely angry, and scuffled with the soldiers of the powerful clan.
However, he had been hungry for many days and had no energy at all. He was immediately pressed to the ground by the powerful soldiers and kicked and punched.
Immediately, the man was tied to a wooden stake that was erected by the official road.
Seeing the other young adults, they stopped making noise and shrank back.
This wooden stake is specially used by the powerful clan to deal with the troubled people.
They were tied to wooden stakes and were not given food or drink. After two days in the sun, their lives were gone.
But even though he was bluffed, a wave of anger burned in his heart.
The general of the powerful clan smiled triumphantly, and cursed: “A bunch of lowly mud legs, they still want to play hard with each other.”
After finishing speaking, he ordered the soldiers to continue giving porridge, and walked towards Changcheng swaggeringly.
Different from the scene outside Changcheng, Changcheng at this moment is actually more prosperous than before.
The streets are full of traffic, full of children of powerful and wealthy families and merchants in silk and satin clothes.
They are either powerful or have money. When they moved westward, the carts and carts were full of their own belongings, unlike ordinary people who could only carry a parcel on their backs.
When they arrived in Changcheng, they could always find a place to live in Changcheng whether they used power or money. Although the daily life was worse than before, it didn’t have much impact.
She is still surrounded by maids and concubines all day long, and there is no shortage of big fish and big meat.
For a while, the prices of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep near Changcheng soared.
After entering the city, the general of the powerful clan saw a person approaching him, and immediately bowed to salute, “General.”
This person was none other than Xie An.
“This general and General Wang are about to lead the army to Jinling to regain the homeland of Ningzhou. The defense of Changcheng will be handed over to you. Remember, don’t let the people make trouble.” Xie An said.
This powerful general is also surnamed Xie, named Xie Kang, and he is a descendant of his Xie family.
“Don’t worry, general, these mud legs can’t be overthrown in the hands of the general.” Xie Kang looked confident.
Xie An nodded, “Just to be on the safe side, I’ll leave another 20,000 people for you to make up 50,000 people. Don’t be careless.” During
this westward migration, 4 million people flooded into Jiangzhou from Zhejiang Province.
They divided the four million people into seven counties in Jiangzhou.
Among them, the number of people staying near Changcheng is the largest, with millions.
These people will become their stable source of soldiers at critical moments.
But recently, with the consumption of food and grass, the food they can supply to the people has become less and less, and the people have become more and more dissatisfied.
Therefore, they can only mobilize the army to guard the people to prevent the people from escaping or causing trouble.
But in his view, starving the people is also good.
When soldiers are needed, they only need to give a few bowls of state, and young and strong will rush to serve as soldiers.
“Yes, General.” The city guard general replied again.
Nodding his head, Xie An returned to the mansion.
In the next three days, the army of the powerful tribes set off from Changcheng one after another to Jinling.
The movement of the clan’s army did not escape the eyes of the Siyuan’s eyeliner.
While sending the information to Jinling, they got in touch with the general of the third army hiding in the forest east of Changcheng.
“Their army has not gone far. Waiting for another day will be an excellent time to start an incident. Tonight we will take the opportunity to mix with the people.” In
Wuling Mountain, 30 miles east of Changcheng, 5,000 Third Army soldiers were commanded by Wei. Commander Pang San has been dormant here for five days.
The members of the Fourth Academy who led the team had already contacted the members of the Fourth Academy who had mixed into Changcheng.
“The people have been looking forward to this day for a long time. I told them that they still don’t believe it. They will be ecstatic when it passes tonight.” He Dong said.
He is the eyeliner of the Fourth Court who has infiltrated the people of Changcheng.
During this period of time, he won over many people and laid the foundation for the uprising.
It’s just that the people are still a little hesitant because they are frightened by the swordsmen of the powerful army.
Now, just waiting for the first shot fired by the royal family’s troops, the common people will break through the cage that the powerful clan restrained them like a tsunami.
agreed on this matter.
In the middle of the night, Pang San led the soldiers to follow He Dong to Changcheng.
After being among the common people in Changcheng for a long time, He Dong found out the temperament of the soldiers of the powerful clan.
As long as they don’t make trouble, the soldiers of the powerful clan don’t bother to take care of them.
Often lazy to sleep when patrolling.
So, taking advantage of the midnight shift, he led some soldiers from the palace to mix among the common people.
When the powerful soldiers dozed off, they led some soldiers into the crowd.
Due to the large number of people outside Changcheng, 5,000 Third Army soldiers entered the people like water droplets into the sea, without causing any waves.
But the soldiers of the powerful clan didn’t know what happened, but the common people knew what happened.
After all, the soldiers of the royal family came to them.
