Chapter 1266 Lin Jiaxing Controls the Floating City
I think it was Pei Yao who had planned to use human flesh as military food.
Shangguan Ruoli asked: "Have you thought about how to arrange them? Although we have food, we can't support so many people."
Besides, the people of Nanyun originally hated the Dongming people, and maybe they felt that the Dongming people had touched their land, so they should be raised in vain.
Dongming Ziyu patted Shangguan Ruoli's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't give them food for free and let them use their labor in exchange for farming and digging fortifications. In this way, the soldiers who farm can be replaced."
, only need to leave a small number of soldiers to maintain order."
Shangguan Ruoli nodded and said softly: "Husband, go and deal with the matter. I'm fine, don't worry."
Dongming Ziyu touched Jingyang's head, "You talk to my mother and concubine."
Jingyang nodded, "Father, don't worry, I will take good care of my mother and concubine."
Dongming Ziyu thinks that children are more well-behaved and obedient. When children grow up, they have their own problems and always want to disobey their parents.
It’s so worrying and sad!
Jingyang watched Dongming Ziyu go out, let out a long sigh, and said to Shangguan Ruoli seriously: "Mother, you said that your coquettish and obedient acting is so fake, why would my father still be fooled?"
"You naughty kid!" Shangguan Ruoli slapped Jingyang on the head and said angrily: "Are you the one who would ridicule me like this?"
Jingyang touched his sore head and said aggrievedly: "My son is so wronged. My son has seen that you are pretending. Why don't you cooperate with you to convince your father?"
Shangguan Ruoli glared, "How am I pretending? Do you know that it comes from the heart?"
Jingyang curled his lips, "No, that's a trick, a beauty trap."
Shangguan Ruoli: "..."
What should you do if you have a naughty child at home who looks like a grown-up?
Who wants it? Take it away!
Fortunately, Zi Yan and Xue Ying came in, carrying anti-fetal medicine and candied fruits.
Jingyang said sternly: "Mother, please drink your medicine well, and my son will read to you."
As he said that, he went to the table on the side, took a book, opened it, and saw that it was a medical book, so he threw it aside.
He knew why his eldest sister had been obsessed with medical skills since she was a child. It was something she carried in her womb.
…
In the floating city, the soldiers mutinied and fought against each other.
The place where Pei Yao was imprisoned for "human flesh and military rations" was found by the soldiers, and his relatives were even found there.
The large vat in which the military rations were marinated was smashed, and the chopped meat inside spilled out.
You can vaguely identify what part of the human body it is.
No wonder that when Nanyun was so short of food, there was still so much meat in their dishes. The soldiers followed Pei Yao wholeheartedly for this meat.
Unexpectedly, the meat they gorged on turned out to be human flesh! And it was the flesh of comrades and relatives!
Many people couldn't bear it, bent over and vomited, and their faces were covered with tears.
Some people cry, laugh and vomit at the same time, as if they are crazy.
Then, they killed the person in charge of "military rations", and some rushed to Pei Yao's mansion to find an explanation. Some fled, and some simply opened the city gate and took their people to defect to Dongming Ziyu.
Lin Jiaxing had been watching with cold eyes, and when the time was right, he led his men to surround Pei Yao's mansion, captured Pei Yao alive, and occupied the floating city.
Most of Pei Yao's old men who did not escape stayed to follow Lin Jiaxing.
Lin Jiaxing also followed Dongming Ziyu's example and asked the soldiers to harvest the people's food and use part of the food to appease the remaining old, weak, women and children.
But behind Dongming Ziyu, there is Dongming, Yuancheng, and a steady supply of food, but they are just sitting on their hands.
At this time, Nanyun Lengyue sent someone to discuss cooperation, gave him 100,000 carts of food and grass, and named him the general of the country. After defeating Dongming Ziyu, the whole army would also receive rewards.
Dongming Ziyu originally had 350,000 troops, but he occupied Fucheng and the surrounding counties and towns, and sent some troops to maintain order in the local area.
In this way, Lin Jiaxing and Dongming Ziyu are equally powerful, presenting a confrontational situation.
Dongming Ziyu originally cherished the talent of Lin Jiaxing and wanted to recruit him, but now it seems that Lin Jiaxing has taken refuge in Nanyun Lengyue.
Dongming Ziyu was not in a hurry and took over more than 10,000 soldiers from Pei Yao. He wanted to reorganize the army.
In addition, Zhou Puzhong died. After their internal struggle and coordination, the three sons helped the spirit return home, and the internal affairs also needed to be rectified.
He did not set a date for his expedition to Floating City, mainly because he wanted to catch Lin Jiaxing by surprise. Besides, some of their food had not yet been processed. Although it was the end of the rainy season, it was still very difficult to dry the food.
Dongming Ziyu needs to recuperate. Once Lin Jiaxing is touched, he will also suffer losses. If Prince Gong takes over, the gains will not be worth the losses.
However, he would not wait for Lin Jiaxing to recover and attack. It was difficult for his army to enter the hinterland of Nanyun. Even if they robbed the grain, it would not be convenient to transport it back. So Nanyun Lengyue transported grain and grass to Lin Jiaxing.
The route was revealed to Prince Gong.
Prince Gong has An Luo's four thousand tortoise-shell soldiers, who are the best at doing this sneaky thing.
Prince Gong is short of food. The soldiers are so hungry that their eyes are shining green. They will not miss this great opportunity.
Sure enough, in the morning, a scout came to report that Prince Gong had taken action against Lin Jiaxing!
Prince Gong's location was very close to the Floating City, so it was very convenient to rob such a large amount of food and grass. Anyway, the two of them were completely at odds with each other, and sooner or later they were going to fight to the death.
Although Lin Jiaxing was well prepared and had many soldiers, and sent five soldiers to respond, he was still not as elusive as the tortoise-shell soldiers.
Lin Jiaxing was also furious. Prince Gong did not say that they would jointly deal with Dongming Ziyu, but instead robbed him of his army rations. At this time, the army rations were the lives of the soldiers.
He couldn't swallow this breath!
That night, he led people to attack Huocheng.
Jing Qinglu, the magistrate of Huocheng City, was originally An Luo's disciple, and the people under his command were also very strange and powerful. Although plus Prince Gong's more than 70,000 horses, the total number of horses in Huocheng City was only 200,000, but he still defended Huocheng.
city.
But if Lin Jiaxing bothers them every once in a while, Huo Cheng may not be able to hold on for a long time.
On the day Lin Jiaxing attacked Huocheng, Dongming Ziyu gathered 100,000 troops on his side, Liu Jian's 30,000 troops, and more than 10,000 troops from Fucheng who surrendered, and rushed towards Huocheng non-stop.
With weapons that have been improved by Murong Fenghe's people, the killing range and lethality have been improved.
These days, the soldiers who surrendered in Nanyun saw that Dongming Ziyu's strict rule, high military pay, sophisticated weapons, sufficient food and grass, and love for the common people were all determined to follow him to conquer the country.
In particular, I heard that the emperor of Dongming is the eldest son of Dongming Ziyu, a disciple of Master Huiming, and a Buddhist who will surely bless the people.
What they were worried about was that Lin Jiaxing was so powerful that if they were defeated and Dongming Ziyu was beaten back to Yuancheng, their good days might come to an end.
