() Murong Huang was secretly unhappy, but patiently explained: "According to the general's guess, since the King of Qin has asked Liu Yao for millions of hungry people, it is impossible not to prevent our army from taking advantage of the chaos to attack. General, don't forget,

The last time the Qin army attacked our Jianzhang Palace camp, they were able to build a defense within just half a moment.

Half an hour has passed now, and the Qin army's position should have been properly arranged. Even if we organize the cavalry to attack at the fastest speed, I am afraid that we will be blocked by his fire bombs. In addition to causing the soldiers to die in vain, there is no way

It plays too many roles, general, please think twice!"

Shi Hu Bu angrily said: "Are we just going to sit back and watch Qin grow stronger?"

Murong Huang continued to advise: "Millions of hungry people are of no use to the Qin State in a short period of time. On the contrary, they are a heavy burden. It will take at least next year for these people to produce food, and in more than a month, it will be

It’s the rainy season in Guanzhong. When you defeat the Qin army, won’t they all belong to me, Zhao?”

Shi Hu thought that this was also the case, and waved his hands with a look of reluctance: "Forget it, let King Qin take care of us for a while first!" As he said this, Murong Huang showed a look of lust and stopped talking.

Se, couldn't help but ask: "Yuan Zhen, do you have anything else to say?"

Murong Huang raised his hands and said: "General, it's like this. It's midsummer now, and it's been extremely hot since this morning. Our army can't compare to the Qin army. The Qin army's camp is in Jianzhang Palace, and it can rely on the terrain and trees.

Shade from the sun, and go up to the sun

Although the terrain is high and dangerous, it is completely deserted, and the only trees are sparse. The general is afraid that the soldiers will be exposed to the sun for a long time. After more than a month, they will no longer have the strength to attack the Qin army. Therefore, the general will

I would like to ask the general to move the camp."

Shi Hu thought for a moment and nodded: "This damn weather! Tell me, where is the best place for us to move?"

Murong Huang muttered: "Bailuyuan is bounded by Mount Zhen at the eastern foot of Zhongnan Mountain to the east, Tangyu River and Daiyu River to the south, and Wangchuan Ba ​​River to the north. There is no other place to go except to Mount Mount Zhong. And Mount Mount

There are two mountain peaks, and our army can rely on Mount Zhen to camp between the two peaks, so as to avoid being exposed to the sun."

"As you wish, we will move today!" As soon as Shi Hu blurted out his words, a personal attendant hurried in: "General, urgent message from Tongguan!" and handed over a letter.

A bird feather is stuck in it. It is a feather sign, which is only used for recruiting troops or emergency sudden changes. The bird feather is stuck on it to show its speed, and it is often delivered with the fastest rush.

Shi Hu secretly thought something was wrong. He quickly took it and tore it open twice, and took a closer look. Suddenly, his face turned into a haze!

Murong Huang quickly asked: "General, what happened? But the battle in Guangling has changed?"

It's okay not to ask, but with this question, Shi Hu seemed to have found the mouth of Xuan Xie. He kicked the chest of the follower fiercely, and heard a crisp sound. The follower was unprepared, and his sternum was already in the chest.

Totally broken. Died tragically on the spot!

After kicking someone to death, Shi Hu seemed to feel better. He stared at the corpse with a cold light in his eyes, and responded: "It's not Guangling. Your father is steady in his military use. He won't take it lightly unless he is more than 80% sure."

But the wheat in Huaibei and Henan was burned overnight before harvesting!"

Murong Huang was shocked and blurted out: "Who did it? How could you be so careless?"

Shi Hu sneered and said: "Who else could it be? It must be the King of Qin who sent the Haimen garrison or the old thief Xi Jian to take advantage of the emptiness in the hinterland of Zhao to secretly send people to burn grain in order to cut off our army's food and grass! Humph! Wait until I return.

After the division, we must go south to Jiangdong and bloodbath Haimen and Jingkou!"

Murong Huang was distracted for just a moment, then calmed down and suggested: "Haimen has already been attacked by Han Yong, the commander of the Qingzhou navy, so it is expected that it will not miss. However, the grain and grass in Henan and Huaibei are burned, and Hebei alone may not be able to survive."

To continue, General, we have to make plans early, but if that doesn’t work, we might as well withdraw from Tongguan and attack Guanzhong again next year!”

Shi Hu immediately turned his head and stared at Murong Huang with eyes without any human emotion. It wasn't until Murong Huang showed discomfort that he said calmly: "If we retreat, wouldn't we give up Guanzhong to the King of Qin? He

If we take it again today, we will get twice the result with half the effort. The King of Qin is too coveted by this general. What can he do to me if the food and grass are cut off? What are the more than 100,000 two-legged sheep in the army used for? From this day on, the food of the whole army will be mixed with food.

Serve the minced meat!”

Murong Huang secretly felt unbearable, but there was nothing he could do. He understood that if he didn't do this, I'm afraid the entire army would run out of food before the rainy season came. Speaking of which, as a member of the Xianbei people who have not yet shed their barbaric marks,

Murong Huang had never eaten a human being. He was indeed an anomaly among his tribe, and he could not be compared with his father Murong Xin.

Shi Hu also knew the details of Murong Huang. He glanced at him with a slight disdain and turned around and said: "Yuanzhen, this is all forced by the King of Qin. If you want to hate him, just let them hate the King of Qin. Come on, let's go out and arrange the move."

Camp, try to move there before dark." After saying that, he opened the curtain and left.

Looking at Shi Hu's back blankly, Murong Huang had an ominous premonition. He had studied Confucianism since he was a child and paid attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality. He deeply believed in Mencius's discussion of benevolence and righteousness: A place hundreds of miles away can be king, and the king is like Shi.

Government benevolently to the people, sparing punishments, reducing taxes and collecting taxes, cultivating deeply and farming easily, and allowing the strong to use their free time

I cultivate their filial piety and loyalty, go in to serve their fathers and brothers, and go out to serve their superiors. They can control the stiles and reach Qin and Chu with strong armor and powerful soldiers. When they capture their people, they will not be able to farm to support their parents. Parents

They are frozen and hungry, brothers and wives are separated, they are drowning their people, and the king goes to conquer them. Who can be the enemy of the king? Therefore, it is said that the benevolent are invincible!

However, a man-eating army is bound to be unpopular. Even if it achieves a temporary victory, it will not last long. In any case, it cannot be called a benevolent and righteous army. On the contrary, what the King of Qin did was consistent with the two words of benevolence and righteousness.

‘Could it be that Guanzhong will eventually be owned by the King of Qin?’ Murong Huang couldn’t help but recall what he saw along the way. The vast distance between Luoyang and Chang’an was thousands of miles away, and all the people were either killed or defected to Qin.

"Oh~~!" Murong Hao sighed secretly, suppressed his uneasiness, and walked out of the tent.

In the busy schedule, time flew by. Shihu was busy relocating the camp, and Yunfeng was busy resettling the refugees. Each of them was given a small amount of rations and allowed them to go westward on their own. There were officials in the counties and counties along the way to help.

Build with them

Liu Yao was so idle in his home. Today was a depressing day for him. Not only were the people in the city forced to give up to Yunfeng, but what made him even more irritated was the personal testimony of Zhu Ji and his tribe.

It has caused the morale of the military to fluctuate.

Liu Yao had no doubt that his sergeants would secretly surrender to the Qin army. Therefore, he sent the absolutely reliable Forbidden Army to patrol the city, and all the city gates were also guarded by the Forbidden Army. He was afraid that he might not know what day late at night.

The city gate was opened from the inside, and then the Qin army's cavalry surged into the city, and then they were taken to Jiankang in a prison car.

Unknowingly, a bright moon has hung high in the sky, and the poisonous fire that has been raging all day has temporarily stopped. However, the billowing heat wave between heaven and earth is still sweeping from all directions, especially from the top of Chang'an City.

The heat was unbearable. The city walls made of rammed earth had accumulated a large amount of heat after being exposed to the sun for a day. At this time, it began to dissipate outwards.

Several defenders leaned weakly on their spears, looking straight at the Jianzhang Palace camp not far away. Although they had already had dinner, they ate only a small amount of rice mixed with sand and chaff.

There were corns, and from the bonfires in the Qin army's camp below the city head, bursts of the aroma of food wafted straight to the city head.

A while ago, because the city was filled with the disgusting smell of rotting corpses, they didn't pay much attention to it, but today, with the departure of a large number of people, the air quality has improved significantly.

The aroma of spleen penetrates straight into the nose!

One of the guards took a deep sniff as if aftertaste, holding it in his lungs until he ran out of breath, then slowly spit it out with a look of regret on his face, and couldn't help but sigh: "It smells so good! We haven't had it for more than ten days.

Are you full?"

"Hey! Ten days?" A companion chuckled disdainfully: "Before the city was not besieged, each person was only given five liters of food per day, and sometimes the superiors would deduct some of it. I don't know if you are full.

I haven’t had enough to eat. In short, I haven’t had enough to eat all day long, and I’m even more hungry and panicking these days!”

Another defender said with emotion: "Nearly a million hungry people came out of the city today. They were all resettled by the King of Qin. They should not starve in the future. In fact, I quite envy them. How nice would it be if I were an ordinary citizen?"

You can also follow us out of the city. Hey~~"

A companion next to this man suddenly asked in a low voice: "What do you mean, King Qin asked General Zhu to come here today? Is he trying to lure us out of the city to surrender?"

The man nodded and said: "It's very possible. In fact, there is nothing wrong with surrendering the Qin army. Now His Majesty is in dire straits and obviously can't hold on for long. And if we fall into the hands of Shi Hu, we will inevitably die. If we don't

Look at those colleagues in the past, they are really enviable, why don't we go out of the city at night and join the Qin army?"

"You guys, if you don't defend the city well, why are you talking nonsense?" A forbidden soldier suddenly came from a distance and asked sternly.

Several people were immediately silent. One of them was smarter and hurriedly bowed and said: "Back to General, the weather is too hot here. The brothers are all groggy, so I told some little jokes to cheer up. We won't dare to do it next time."

Already."

The Forbidden Army general looked at them suspiciously and snorted coldly: "This is my first offense, so I won't take it seriously this time, but I won't do it next time, otherwise I will be dealt with according to military law! Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, thank you General for your kindness!" Several people bowed to express their thanks.

The Imperial Guard nodded slightly and patrolled into the distance.

After a long time, someone finally muttered dissatisfiedly: "Damn it! Look at them, their faces are all red with food, what about us? We are defending the city with hungry stomachs, and we are being yelled at and scolded. It's really not worth it."

!”

"Hush! You want to die!" The companions were so frightened that they looked around to make sure that there were no forbidden troops nearby. The man from before continued cautiously: "Everyone, when will this bird's nest end? How about we

He lowered the city wall at night and simply surrendered to the Qin army."

"If you are caught, you will be beheaded!"

"Gamble! If you succeed, you can live a good life. It's so hot today, even if you don't starve to death, you will die in the sun!"

"Okay! Let's go when it's late at night!"

"Hope God be safe!"
