Melting snow and small pieces of ice poured into the trench dug by Yunxiao, and a small river suddenly appeared around Himejo. Ji Dan was completely desperate, and none of the strong men who dug the river and repaired the tomb, Yunxiao, did not kill any of them, and all of them returned to Jicheng intact. Before leaving, Yun Xiao mischievously gave each person a string of copper coins as wages. The people of Jicheng, who didn't know why, knelt on the ground and thanked Yunhou for his kindness.

The granary reserves are declining at an alarming rate, and there are only 60,000 people in Jicheng. More than 100,000 people poured in all of a sudden, and the guards of the Yun family were still arresting people. The people who met Benhan were men, women, young and old. As long as they don't resist, they won't be killed, but they will be sent to the city of Jicheng. Then build a small bridge and let them enter Himejo.

"Your Majesty, you can't go on like this! Yesterday, the Han people arrested more than 1,000 of us and sent them over, and we didn't keep them or let them go. But if this man is let in, he will have to eat! We don't have much food, and now we only have two or two meters per person per day. The soldiers were only three or two, and many of them were so hungry that their legs were weak. How can such a battle be fought. Ji Yang said anxiously.

He had just checked Jicheng's grain stock yesterday, and it was estimated that he would only be able to hold on for another two months if he continued like this. Two months later, the people of Jicheng not only had five grains to eat. Not even wood for cooking.

"Your Majesty, why hasn't the meat to be served today been delivered? Do you want our brothers' tigers and bears to go hungry? I warned the king that these beasts of prey are hungry and want to eat men. Shi Tianbao suddenly pushed away the guards and broke in. His two brothers stood on either side, one on the left and one on the right, looking like they were asking for guilt.

"Also, the rice that promised me was not given to me. Attack on the Han Chinese. Our brother has done a great job. Without rice, what do I take to raise monkeys. The third child with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks stood behind Shi Tianbao and jumped on his feet and shouted.

Ji Dan had two big heads, and he began to regret recruiting these talented people in the first place. The Shi brothers claim to be from a cautious hunter and a family heirloom beast taming craft. Hunting in captivity in the mountains, Ji Dan was pounced on by a tiger during a hunting trip. Fortunately, Shi Tianbiao, the second eldest member of the Shi family, arrived in time to save Ji Dan.

Seeing the skills of the brothers, Ji Dan was like a celestial. At that time, the Jin family in Dawangcheng was aggressive, and the Ji family was in turmoil. So at the kind invitation of Ji Dan, the three brothers came to Ji City.

But the beasts they domesticated consume a lot of meat and food every day. Ji Dan even built a pig farm especially for their brother. There are many pigs in captivity for the bears and tigers to eat. Even if you do everything you can in Himeshiro. It can only barely supply the scale of about 20 animals.

Relatively speaking, the monkeys of the third child of the Shi family are much easier to feed, and as long as the rice is allocated on time, they can raise a lot. In the last battle with the Jin family, it was Shi Laosan's monkeys who set fire to the Jin family's grain and grass. This forced the Jin family to withdraw from the army. During the ambush of the Han Chinese, it was these monkeys who pounced down from the trees to break through the hedgehog array.

"Calm down, don't worry. Ji Cheng has been short of food recently. Supplies for the three are still being raised. Please also ask the three brothers to stay a little longer. "Although the three brothers of the Shi family are arrogant and rude. But Ji Dan didn't dare to offend. If these beasts really get out of control, it will cause great chaos in Himejo. Besides, if the Han people want to attack the city, they still have to rely on them.

But now it seems. The Han people just wanted to besiege Jicheng. Let all the people in the city starve to death, and there is no intention of besieging the city.

"Your Majesty, it's not that my brothers are rude. It's just that this beast is a beast after all, and if I am hungry, my brothers and I can't suppress it if we want to. What do you say? Shi Tianbao said threateningly.

Ji Dan will definitely do his best to raise money, and ask the three of them to go back and wait for a while. Ji Yang will deliver the meat and food provided by the evening at the latest. ”

"So, thank you very much!" Shi Tianbao glared viciously at the two guards who had stopped them just now, and walked out with his two brothers.

"Your Majesty, what shall we give him? The last batch of 10 pigs had been given to them the day before yesterday, and now there are no more breeding pigs in the pig farm. What do you ask me to give him? Ji Yang said helplessly.

"Lead a few horses to them, and they can hold up for a day." Ji Dan sighed helplessly, his eyes were full of loneliness.

"Horses! That horse is used in war, and how can we fight without horses? Why don't you give them a few of those Han cattle? Ji Yang suddenly remembered the cattle that he had snatched back.

"No, none of the cows are allowed to move." Ji Dan said categorically. After looking left and right, after making sure that no one was there, he whispered: "This Ji City can't be defended for long, judging by the current situation." There is only one way to go, surrender. These cows are to be returned to the Han people, and in addition, we will pour out the treasures of our palace, and if it is really not good, we will give the little sister to the Hou Ye of the Han people.

Hopefully, this will calm their anger and give us a way to live. Otherwise, these hundreds of thousands of people would probably not be able to escape death. Do you see that river, it's a line of life and death. Pity those guys who get paid and kowtow to the Hou Ye of the Han people. The copper coin should not be eaten or drunk, and at this time the money is used for eggs. ”

Ji Dan lowered his head and began to sob.

"Your Majesty, my little sister is only fifteen years old...... What's more, the queen mother ......" Ji Yang's eyes widened in surprise, their sister Ji Mei is known as the first beauty on the peninsula. He was treated like a national treasure in Himejo. Now that the eldest brother wants to use her to curry favor with the Han people, it can be seen that Ji Dan is really desperate.

"Hehe, the Hou Ye who was given to the Han people is better than being trapped here like our brothers. You and I will find some horses for the Shi brothers to send, and you will sneak out of the city at night. Find a way to contact the Han people, recently because of the repair of the ditch. The Han people's defense is a little lax, you must meet the Hou Ye of the Han people. Convey the sincerity of our surrender, and he can agree to any request, even if it is ...... Even if it's for my head. ”

"Your Majesty, this ......" Ji Yang looked at Ji Dan with wide eyes.

"Ji Yang, it was the eldest brother's greed that caused this monstrous disaster. It's too late to think about it now, compared to these hundreds of thousands of lives. What is my life, if I can really exchange my life for these hundreds of thousands of lives. I'm worth it. ”

Ji Dan closed his eyes, and big tears flowed down his cheeks. It tasted very bitter and salty.

The ditch outside the city has been completed, unless all the people inside the city have become birds. Otherwise it is absolutely impossible to fly out. Outside the east gate stands a large tomb, and the mound of sealed earth is higher than the walls of Himejo. Xiaohu and the five hundred brothers slept under the huge mound of sealed earth. Whenever he saw the huge mound of sealed soil, Yun Xiao felt deeply guilty.

Why didn't you listen to Dai Yu's words, and send troops to kill these damn Benhan people early. This time, we must come to kill them all, otherwise it will be absolutely difficult to offset the anger of ourselves and the whole army.

Draining the glass of wine, Yun Xiao leaned back on the chaise longue and took a nap.

"Master Hou!" Yun Xiao was half-asleep and half-awake, and the goshawk walked in. Give a deep salute to Yun Xiao.

"Tell me something!" Yun Xiao's eyelids didn't lift, and his dizziness at this time was when he was most happy to drink and drink.

"Master Hou! Someone from Jicheng came, saying that he wanted to surrender! Goshawk said respectfully.

Yun Xiao sat up from the recliner suddenly, and his eyes turned black a little suddenly. Holding his head with his hand for a while, he slowed down for a while before asking, "Please surrender?" ”

"It's Master Hou, Ji Yang, the younger brother of the city lord of Ji City, who sneaked out in person. asked for surrender, saying that the Ji family was willing to become a retainer of the Yun family. Serve the Lord from generation to generation. Goshawk replied as he peeked at Yun Xiao's face.

"Ha, please come down. I'm really going to agree to their request, will you do it? What are so many brothers going to do? Don't look at me secretly, your eyes are very thief, and it will be uncomfortable for you to look at them. Yun Xiao's hand did not leave his forehead, and the goshawk was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"Bring him in, and the two armies will not fight each other. Even if it's someone from the Ji family, we can't break the rules. Yun Xiao took the forehead off his hand and said to the goshawk.

"No" Goshawk wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gave a salute and withdrew. (To be continued......)
