() Counting the days since the siege of Chang'an with Shi Hu in early December last year, half a year has passed. It is almost time for Chang'an to run out of food. Maybe Liu Yao still has a small amount of food in hand.

However, Yunfeng never expected Liu Yao to distribute the food to the people. Before he and Shi Hu decided to win or lose, Liu Yao would never sit idle. He had to ensure that there was an elite army that could fill his belly and be available at any time.

Going out to fight outside the city, not to mention the nearly one million refugees in Chang'an, even if Liu Yao showed his kindness, it could only help the people live for ten days and a half longer.

To be honest, Yunfeng couldn't bear that so many innocent people were starving to death. However, it was obviously impossible to attack the city with an army at the moment. Shihu's army of more than 200,000 was stationed in Bashang, thirty miles east of the city.

And persuading Liu Yao to open the city and surrender was like a dream, and he felt a headache for a while.

"General, are you thinking about this?" Seeing Yunfeng dazed, Yu Wenjun couldn't help but urge: "The people of Chang'an will also be your people in the future, so you just watch them starve to death? And

Ah, you have to bear a certain responsibility for their starvation. Who asked you and Shi Hu to attack Guanzhong?"

"Miss Yu, what do you think we should do?" Yunfeng smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and kicked the ball back to Yu Wenjun.

"General, Wenjun has just thought of it for you." Yu Wenjun puffed up his chest and said confidently: "General, you see, since you defeated the Du family last time, nearly ten more Wubao have come to send you.

As a sign of goodwill, the grain and rice raised by General Qian, 500,000 shi, arrived in Weicheng a few days ago. Now you no longer have to worry about the problem of grain and grass. Let’s count the days.

Son, has the wheat harvest started in the west of Chang'an, including the two states of Qin and Liang? The food and grass in your army should be very sufficient. According to Mr. Wen, it is better to use a trebuchet to throw part of the food and grass into the city every day. In this way, the city can be saved.

People, and I can gain a good reputation for you. If you break Chang'an in the future, you will definitely be supported by the people. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Liu Yueru, Zhang Lingyun and Su Qizhen all had their eyes lit up. Just when they were about to start boasting, Yunfeng shook his head and denied: "No!"

"Yunlang, why is this?" Zhang Lingyun asked in confusion: "Actually, junior sister is right. There is no shortage of food in the army now. Wouldn't it be better to give some of it to the people of Chang'an?"

Yunfeng smiled coldly: "Lingyun, if we put the grain into the city, how much of it would fall into the hands of the people? I'm afraid it would all go to Liu Yao at a cheap price!"

"Uh!" Zhang Lingyun was immediately speechless.

"Hey~~" Liu Yueru sighed faintly: "There is really nothing we can do? Are we just going to watch them starve to death in vain?"

Yunfeng thought for a moment, then suddenly took a piece of big cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Let's eat quickly. After eating, I will go to Liu Yao to have a heart-to-heart talk with my husband."

The girls were all a little stunned. What was there to talk about with Liu Yao? However, they also knew that Yunfeng would not be innocent, but they did not ask any more questions, so they all picked up their noses and ate the supposedly delicious breakfast.

Coincidentally, at this time, Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong were having breakfast. Usually, although it was not exquisite, it was still very sumptuous, and the food was spread out on several tables. But now, the couple only had breakfast in front of each other.

There was a small bowl of watery corn porridge, a few wheat cakes, two boiled eggs, and nothing else.

Half a year has passed. Yang Xianrong seems to be older, with a few more gray streaks on his hair. The crow's feet at the corners of his eyes have become more dense, with a tendency to spread to the surrounding areas. It's no wonder that there are nearly 400,000 troops outside the city. Anyone can

She is under great mental pressure, let alone a queen who is the mother of a country?

Today's Yang Xianrong has no appetite at all as before. Looking at the clear soup on the table, Liu Yao couldn't help but put his chopsticks on the table, frowned and said: "How can you not eat it?"

?Come, eat before you have enough strength. It is already May, and Shihu will attack Jianzhang Palace in at most two months. By then, our opportunity will come, so we must persevere!"

Yang Xianrong smiled bitterly and said: "It has taken so long to start fighting, and how long will it take to determine the winner? Besides, this is just your Majesty's guess. What should we do if the two armies under the city continue to stand still? It is already the wheat harvest season, no matter it is

Neither the Qin army nor Shihu will be short of food, but we are the first to be unable to survive.

I heard that Your Majesty stopped the supply of rations that you originally provided to the people every day. On the first day you stopped, people in the city starved to death the next day. In recent times, from the beginning there were dozens of people every day to

There were hundreds of people, and now there are thousands of people. In order to survive, the people eat tree bark and grass roots.

Eating dirt, and some even eat corpses! Now no one dares to go out alone, as they are likely to be killed and eaten as soon as they go out. And the people who really can't find food are exchanging their children to eat each other, and I'm afraid it won't take more than two months.

, none of the people in Chang'an can survive!" As he said that, he let out a long sigh.

After saying this, Liu Yao's mood became extremely bad. He took a few big breaths and said bitterly for a long time: "There is nothing I can do about it. I must leave the rations to the soldiers, otherwise how will they survive?"

Do you have the strength to go out of the city to fight?"

Yang Xianrong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "When the Japanese people came to the city to seek refuge with Your Majesty, they never expected to end up like this. Your Majesty is not afraid that they will harbor resentment?"

"Hmph!" Liu Yao snorted coldly: "Who caused this? If Shi Hu and the King of Qin hadn't come to attack my Guanzhong, why would this have happened? The people should be able to distinguish right from wrong. If you want to hate, you can only hate.

What do those two people outside the city have to do with me?"

Yang Xianrong didn't know what to say, so he smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned to look at the food on the table, but there was still no food at all.

Liu Yao seemed to have thought of something again, and said to himself: "Xiaoguan guard Zhu Ji and his soldiers, including Sanguan and counties west of Chang'an, have all surrendered to the King of Qin. They have quite a lot of people."

part of the family

Living in Chang'an, since I don't care about the life and death of my family, why should I help them raise them? It's better to capture and kill them all, and maybe we can find some more food! And the hostages left in Wubao in Chang'an cannot be released.

Pass!"

"Come here!" Liu Yao suddenly shouted loudly.

"Please give me your Majesty's orders." Two dazzling attendants immediately walked into the palace and both bowed.

Just as Liu Yao was about to speak, Yang Xianrong was the first to persuade him: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, you must not do it! Otherwise, you will lose all the people's hearts. Before the two armies below the city decide the winner, I'm afraid there will be chaos within Chang'an!"

Liu Yao's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "It's fine if I can't remember it. But if I remember it, why would I keep them? Could it be that we can't punish the rebellious ministers and traitors?"

Yang Xianrong advised again: "Your Majesty, in these critical times, if you keep them, all the soldiers in the army may praise you for your kindness, but if you kill them, people will think that you will retaliate and cannot tolerate others. Just to vent your anger on those people."

When ordering some food, I thought it was particularly inappropriate.

It's not worth it, not to mention that they don't consume your food and grass. Even if they starve to death in the future, no one will blame you. But you throw their bodies outside the city so that the rebellious people can see it with their own eyes, which may give King Qin some food.
