Chapter 198: The Dark World Can't See the Light

The wind howls high in the sky.

The white head of the jade mountain was blown by the wind.

Snow blends into the sky, obscuring the red sun into a white sun.

So, when the gale occasionally stopped, dry snow particles fell from the sky, smashed on the armor, jumped up, and fell to the ground again.

Yun Zhao dusted off the snow on Gao Jie's armor, but there was no way to restore the armor of all the soldiers to its original appearance.

Twenty-seven thousand armor men stood in the middle of the valley, filling the small valley to the brim.

Liu Cheng untied Yun Zhao's red cloak and helped him remove the heavy iron helmet, and Yun Zhao, dressed in iron armor, walked through the jungle with his hands behind his back.

Liu Cheng and the others did not follow with a very good look, this kind of glory of the center of ten thousand people only belongs to Yun Zhao alone.

The 27,000 people are the result of Gao Jie's training of the scale of the legion these days.

Yun Zhao couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the young faces in the queue.

"I have such a group of siblings, where in the world can't I go?"

The soldiers in red cloaks bent down with their fists folded together and said, "Follow the general's orders!" ”

"You fight, I'll do the rest.

Under my command, the souls of the fallen will not be disturbed, the wounded will not shed blood and tears, the meritorious will be rewarded, and the victors will be famous and glorious in the world. ”

"Well, obey the general's orders."

"We will be the masters of this world, and we will break the old decaying world and rebuild a bright and warm new world, so I need your strength!"

"Well, obey the general's orders."

"In the new world, the tiller has his field, the weaver has winter clothes, the one who kills the enemy bravely will be promoted, and the diligent in public affairs will be rewarded, I swear here, I will not kill a meritorious man in vain, and I will treat every good man fairly!"

"Well, obey the general's orders."

The north wind was bitter, the snow was flying, and the black armor of the soldiers was covered with snow, and only the flying red cloak reflected the white valley into a sea of red.

Such a scene is naturally invisible to ordinary people.

Lantian County claims not to threaten others with the advantage of its armor, so all the things that are done to review the army will always be carried out in some hidden places.

The army of 27,000 people, plus the regimental training of 50,000 people, plus 20,000 people, this is the most complete and powerful corps in Lantian County so far.

This day is January 1 of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

Since Lantian entered Wuchang, it has once again entered a dormant period, Zhang Bingzhong is worried that the Lantian army, which is close at hand, has to expand southward, as Yun Zhao expected, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi led 150,000 horses and horses officially entered Jiangxi, the target - Nanchang.

Zhang Bingzhong hoped that after occupying Nanchang, the key point of the three rivers and hugging the five lakes, he would recuperate and recuperate, and then take revenge on Yunzhao for robbing Wuchang after the whole army was destroyed.

However, before his army entered the territory of Yuanzhou, it was met with strong resistance, and the ubiquitous armed forces gave Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu a headache, and they had to advance inch by inch, and the army passed everywhere, and the blood flowed like a river......

Since the fall of Luoyang and the killing of King Fu, Kaifeng has become a lonely city in Henan.

The city had been besieged by Li Hongji's army for half a year.

At this time, Kaifeng City had run out of ammunition and food, and was besieged by thieves for half a year, but the reinforcements from the imperial court were delayed.

There was no food to eat, so the people of Kaifeng looked for food everywhere, and they basically took it to eat.

Just like those medicinal materials that were originally used to cure diseases and replenish the body, such as how to multiflorum and angelica, people use them to satisfy hunger.

But as we all know, people who are not sick should not take medicine, because no matter how good the medicine is, there are still some side effects, and some people even eat their hands and feet are swollen, and they have to stop taking medicine.

When you're hungry, you have to eat.

So, people went to look for other food, so they looked at some ponds and rivers, and in the ponds they found a kind of aquatic grass, this plant called Yingluo, and people found that this grass was sweet and very easy to eat, so they gathered this grass in a big way to eat.

This kind of food in the water alone is definitely far from enough for so many Kaifeng people to survive, so they also look for some small insects in the water to eat, and even eat new horse manure.

Eating these things is not a long-term solution.

Some hungry people even want to die because they can't hold on.

In order to appease the people, the people of the government pretended to be merciful and scattered some beans on the streets in the middle of the night, so that the people could feel that God also cared for them, so that they would give up the idea of death.

Although this is false, God will not be too unkind to those who are bent on survival.

Later, the people of the government found that there was a lot of rice in the home of a man named Liu Xiucai, so the government forcibly requisitioned it and distributed it to everyone, which was the first time that the people of Kaifeng ate rice.

As for Liu Xiucai...... He seems to have been eaten, mainly because his family is not short of food, and he is fat, and he has enough oil and water......

In this situation, another old farmer inadvertently dug a barn of wheat out of the ground...... Then the old farmer and the wheat were boiled together.

There was even a strange thing, for example, the government paid money to buy food from the thieves who besieged them......

At this time, Li Hongji's army was still spending the winter in Chuzhou.

One of the stupidest things the people of the city did was to buy food from the thieves with money.

When the thieves found out that they didn't need to attack the city, they only needed to take out a little food to suck the blood of Kaifeng City, who would go to attack the city?

As a result, Kaifeng City is weakening day by day.

Luoyang has become a borderless land, Yun Zhao did not order the Tongguan guards to march Yun Yang to Luoyang, the battle line has been kept in Mianchi County, and there has been no step forward for two years.

King Fu of Luoyang, when the city was broken, did not send a request for help to Yun Zhao, the backbone of King Zhou in Kaifeng is much harder than that of King Fu, and he will not open this mouth, he is ready to die and be annihilated.

Urged by the emperor in an almost pleading tone, Liu Zeqing's army finally left Shandong and marched towards Kaifeng at a rate of twenty miles a day. At the same time, Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong also marched towards Kaifeng at the same speed.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the land of Guanzhong became a sea of joy.

The ten-year celebration of Lantian County kicked off in the light snow.

The grass dragon that was dozens of feet long was danced to life by these guys with excess energy.

The newly researched fireworks were shot into the sky by artillery, making the sky of Lantian County brilliant and colorful.

The sound of firecrackers was deafening and never stopped for a moment.

The entire Lantian County has become a city that never sleeps.

Countless lanterns hung at the door, on the treetops, on bamboo poles, and wealthy people even tied up a lamp mountain in front of their homes, pasting anagrams on their bodies for people to guess the riddles for fun.

Zhu Yujiao, accompanied by Liang Ying and Mu Tiantao, walked in the brilliant light market, whether it was Zhu Yujiao or Mu Tiantao, there was no smile on their faces, which was incompatible with the tourists here.

Liang Ying held three pork chops in his hand, took a bite on one of them, and ate happily.

"Kaifeng City can't hold it."

"Uncle Zhou is ready for martyrdom, brother, is the tragic situation of Kaifeng depicted in Lantian Daily true?"

"It's true, the writer is Liu Cheng, he is the head of the secretary and supervisor of Lantian, and he won't make up content indiscriminately."

"Liu Zeqing, is the speed at which they are advancing really twenty miles a day?"

"It may be slower, His Royal Highness King Zhou shouldn't be able to wait for reinforcements."

"Lantian has heavy troops in Michitun, why don't you let Yun Zhao and them go to the rescue?"

"The newspaper made it very clear that the imperial court did not allow it, and the king of Zhou did not allow it."

"Why?"

"Whatever is swallowed in the stomach by a wild boar, don't try to get it back."

"Could it be that what was taken by a thief like Li Hongji can be taken back?"

"That's the case, Li Hongji is just a rogue, Yun Zhao occupies a place, he will govern a place for a long time, he not only wants land, but also people's hearts."

Since Zhu Yujiao discovered that there is something called a newspaper in Lantian County, she has not missed an issue, and it is because of this newspaper that she knows the chaos in the world and understands the suffering of her father.

And some current affairs comments in the newspaper made her see the current situation of the Ming Dynasty clearly - precarious.

So, a little girl who originally just wanted to go with the flow had a sense of distress for the first time in her life.

"Kaifeng City is hopeless."

Mu Tiantao sighed lightly, he saw things far farther than Zhu Yujiao, and he even lured Xia Wanchun to simulate a battle of Kaifeng with him on the sand table.

As a result, Xia Wanchun completely failed, not because Xia Wanchun was not dedicated, but because the conditions of Kaifeng City were too poor, even if Xia Wanchun simulated the garrison, he only defended for eleven days before the whole army was wiped out.

That's it, without taking into account the reliability of the officers and soldiers, and completely treating them as martyrs who regard death as home.

"Don't think about Kaifeng anymore, I think the next thing the imperial court should consider is Shandong! After Liu Zeqing left Shandong, Shandong became an empty place again, and now, Li Hongji is hesitating whether to attack Yingtianfu or Shuntianfu, and if the gate of Shandong is opened, with Li Hongji's temperament, he will inevitably enter Beijing. ”

Zhu Yujiao said: "We wrote these things into a piece and sent it to my father. ”

Mu Tiantao shook his head and said, "We are soft-spoken. ”

"Then send it to my queen mother."

"Okay!"

Just as the two of them made a decision, a huge red firework exploded above the two of them, and the huge fireworks first exploded, and then seemed to swoop down, rushing halfway, and gradually dissipated.

Zhu Yujiao stretched out a small hand, and some black residue fell on the white hand, and sighed softly: "I began to understand why my father and the emperor sighed all night. ”

Mu Tiantao said: "There is no endless road to the sky. ”

Zhu Yujiao said: "It's just that sometimes it's dark that people can't see the way forward. ”

Mu Tiantao gritted his teeth and said, "Then fight a bloody way." ”
