Chapter 46 Burning, Killing, Looting, Survival from Desperation

What Chen Yiran saw was that the house was burned and dead bodies were everywhere! A group of thugs wearing Liucheng guard uniforms were massacring people! And these people had a red hoop on their right arm, which was particularly conspicuous! At this time, Liucheng's guard

The army finally arrived after a long delay. When they saw the costumes of these thugs, they were stunned for a moment, and then the thugs launched an attack!

These thugs fought with all their might, without regard for life or death. Therefore, although the defenders who arrived had an advantage in numbers, they were not as brave as the thugs. They were quickly defeated by the thugs, leaving many dead and wounded. Only a few people fled in a hurry, and the majority of the thugs fled.

Most of them have been killed! These people rushed into the wealthy area of ​​Liucheng. When the fire continued to spread, more defenders would naturally come to help.

Chen Yiran wanted to step forward to help, but she knew that going up would only add to the chaos. Because most people were killed with one knife, even the injured ones were seriously injured, and her medical skills could not save them at all.

Taoist Zuo Ci looked at this massacre and knew that this was fate. He could only be a bystander, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Taoist Zuo Ci looked at Chen Yiran with a face full of grief and anger, fearing that she would remember that she was saved by her father Chen Qing with her life. When she went out, she saw that her home was burned down by fire, and then she saw the dead bodies of her relatives at home, and

This scene is very similar! In that case, Sun Qing's troops from the Black Mountain Army were about to exterminate families and massacre villages in order to cover up their crimes; here, however, it was Zhang Chun's old troops who wanted to avenge themselves, killing people wantonly to vent their anger!

Looking at these dead soldiers who regardless of life and death, even with broken arms and covered in blood, are still swinging their swords to kill the defenders of Liucheng, what are they thinking at this time? Are they really like Jing Ke, thinking "The wind is rustling and the wind is blowing."

"The water is cold, and a strong man will never return once he is gone"? Do they really have no regrets in this life, and will they die in Liucheng just for the sake of their old ideas?

Chen Yiran suddenly pointed to the west, which was the slum where he had rescued people earlier. Who would have thought that these thugs would go to the slums to burn, kill and loot? There was nothing there? They couldn't have just killed people to vent their anger.

Those who do these things must have other motives!

Chen Yiran naturally remembered the conversation between Wang Zheng and Guan Jing! Looking at the time now, it was almost midnight. Shouldn't they be looting near the three city gates in the southeast and north so as to lure the defenders at the gates to rescue them?

If they attack the slums in the West, what kind of troops will be mobilized to rescue them?

According to Guan Jing, they wanted to leave the west gate unattacked, so why did they attack the slums near the west gate? Chen Yiran suddenly thought of the treasure house in the west. Could it be that they wanted to use the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to lure the heavy troops in the treasure house?

Rescue? So you can take advantage of the situation and enter the treasure house to plunder?

If the defenders of the treasure house are mobilized, Wang Zheng's dozens of dead soldiers will indeed have the opportunity to enter the treasure house and make a fortune! But the people in these slums will suffer. They are only at the bottom of society. Their

Who cares about life and death? And the civilians he saves, will they also lose their lives?

Taoist Zuo Ci saw Chen Yiran's lonely expression and naturally knew what she was thinking. It happened that he couldn't help here, so he took her to the slums in the west of Liucheng. He hadn't noticed it before, but when he rushed there this time

Only then did Zuo Cidao realize that the slum was really not far from the treasure house, much closer than the city gate.

If we only consider rescue, it is naturally more reasonable to send troops from the treasure house. However, when Zuo Ci and Chen Yiran rushed to the slum, all the rescue soldiers they saw came from Ximen, and there was not a single soldier from the treasure house at all.

One pawn! These Zhang Chun soldiers, who were dressed like the defenders, were fighting to the death with the Ximen defenders!

The defenders who came from the west gate obviously had no intention of dying, and were quickly defeated by Zhang Chun's dead soldiers. Some of the west city defenders fled back, and most of them died in the battle. However, they were killed on the spot.

This group of Zhang Chun's dead men started killing people and setting fires again, and they didn't care about the lives of the people in the slums!

And the fire began to spread, and there were a lot of cries. The houses of the people in the slums were burned, and everything in their homes was burned. Even if they could survive, how would they live in the future? A horse rushed out of the treasure house in the west of the city,

He rushed directly to the west gate. Soon the defenders of the west gate came out in full force and rushed to the slums. They wanted to fight to the death with this group of Zhang Chun's dead soldiers!

The man guarding the treasure house saw that the two sides were evenly matched and the battle situation was anxious. He actually rode away and left first. Seeing him walking north, it was obvious that he wanted to mobilize troops at the north gate again. But Chen still watched the battle of these people, feeling in his heart

There was not the slightest disturbance in her heart. Maybe it was because she was used to seeing life and death, and she was already numb to these irrelevant people, right?

At this time, another sentry came to kill at the west gate. This time there were a lot of soldiers and horses, which naturally attracted the attention of all parties. The first one to ride was the man on the horse, who was eight feet tall and wore chain mail.

Wearing a purple-gold helmet and holding a Overlord Spear in his hand! This man was getting closer, and Chen Yiran naturally saw clearly that the person coming was none other than his elder brother Chen Yong!

Chen Yiran shouted loudly: "Brother, come quickly, there are evil people here, they want to burn, kill and loot, even the civilians will not be spared! Come and save people!"

How did Chen Yong come? This is a long story. It turns out that after Gongsun Zan took the lead and rushed into the snow, the army naturally packed up their equipment and followed. Gongsun Zan took the lead and was also down-to-earth, advancing step by step in the snow.

Okay. Even if the snow was knee deep and the deepest part was up to his waist, it could not stop his determination to move forward! How could this frighten the soldiers behind him? Soon the army started to move forward in the snow with their chariots and horses.

.

This journey is very difficult, but everyone knows that the road ahead is long. If you don't get through it, you will only die of cold and hunger. There is no other chance! Since the army only eats two meals a day, even so, the food and grass are slowly depleted.

It’s all gone! Everyone knows that there is still a long way to go before reaching Liucheng! But at a glance, everything is completely white. It’s not easy to find something to eat.

Just when the army was about to run out of food, that night, everyone set up a bonfire to cook and keep warm. This time they poured out the last grain of food. They didn't know what else they could eat tomorrow! But there was nothing they could do now.

You can only move forward with a heavy load! Only by getting through can you have a way to survive. If you can't get through, everyone will die of cold and hunger!

It was already very late, but no one, whether it was Chen Yong or Gongsun Zan, including Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and other soldiers, fell asleep! Everyone knew what the lack of food meant, but this was General Gongsun's choice. If we return the same way we came,

, the army has left the Liaoxi intersection and should have joined Xuande Gong's troops by now.

This time we were going to the rescue, so the food and grass we brought were only enough for the rescue, which was conducive to the march. Most of the food and grass were in Liu Bei's camp. No one expected that Gongsun Zan would insist on going his own way and direct the army to Liucheng!

But now these two thousand people are trapped in this wilderness. How easy is it to save themselves?

Gongsun Zan looked at Chen Yong and said: "General Chen, if you insist on holding on for another day tomorrow, if you can't do it, you will have to kill the horse to satisfy your hunger! We are all in the same boat now. Don't worry, I, Gongsun Zan, will definitely be there when I return to Youzhou.

You are like a brother! I'm sorry, General Chen. My prediction was wrong. I didn't expect that the heavy snow blocked the road and the speed of the army's march would affect so much..."

Chen Yong said: "General Gongsun, we are all together now, so naturally we have to work together to find a way to save our lives. Don't worry, I am sending troops this time to rescue General Gongsun and let you return to Youzhou! You are a big man

With this flag, anyone can die, but you, General Gongsun, must not die! As long as you are here, we can deter these young people, and they will not dare to invade my Han territory!"

Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang really didn’t want to kill horses to satisfy their hunger! How difficult was it for their own army to gather nearly a thousand horses? Including the generous help of Zhao Hai, Zhao Zihu, and Youzhou Mu Liu

With Yu's strong support, his soldiers finally managed to gather these war horses! But how can the army survive without killing the war horses? If eating snow can satisfy hunger, Pei Yuanshao is willing to eat snow and will not let everyone kill them.

Horse's.

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt that someone suddenly appeared in front of them. Next to the bonfire, a kind-hearted old man appeared. Chen Yong, Liu Xing, Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and others knelt down together and turned to Zuo Ci.

The Taoist prostrates himself. Everyone knows what it means when Master Zuo Cixian appears at this time. Will everyone still worry about food when he comes?

Gongsun Zan and his soldiers were stunned. No one could understand why Chen Yong and his men kowtowed to a Taoist. They couldn't even figure out how this Taoist appeared here. But Gongsun Zan was obviously a person.

People who have experienced hundreds of battles did not panic, let alone ask Chen Yong, but stood aside and watched what happened.

Taoist Zuo Ci said: "Disciple, I know that you must be in such difficulty, so tonight when you are running out of food, I specially sent you food. The trip to Liucheng is too risky, but the matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more. Pei Yuanshao

, Zhou Cang, if you haven't ordered people to prepare bags for food, when will we wait? Chen Yiran is resting alone in the inn. I am worried, so I have to leave as soon as possible."

Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang hurriedly stood up and called to their soldiers to quickly take their bags to receive the food. Fang Ming was the most alert and had already taken his bag and came to Master Zuo Cixian. Looking at Zuo Cixian again, he

He took out the small bags and poured grain into everyone's bags. After a while, bags of grain were piled up in the camp area.

Taoist Zuo Ci saw that there was enough food for the army to arrive at Liucheng, so he collected his small bag, tied it into a knot, and put it into his sleeves. Taoist Zuo Ci looked at Chen Yong and said: "When the army enters Liucheng, it must be small."

Cause killing. Whether they are the people of Wuhuan or the people of the Central Plains, they are all innocent people, and I hope you will treat them kindly!"

After Zuo Ci finished speaking, he rose into the sky and disappeared into the night. Gongsun Zan knew in his heart that this Taoist was speaking to himself, and that he was out for revenge! You, Mr. Wuhuanqiu Liju,

Dare to besiege me, Gongsun Zan, for eight months. When I escape, I will definitely kill your Wuhuan soldiers, and the people will avenge my dead tribesmen!

But why did this Taoist priest say this? Is he trying to enlighten me? He is Chen Yong’s mentor, why is he unwilling to make friends with my Cavalry Commander Gongsun Zan? If I can have such a person to help me, then I

The army will no longer have to worry about food shortage. In any case, General Chen Yong must have made up his mind. If his mentor can be used by me in the future? Then where in the world can I, Gongsun Zan, not go?

Gongsun Zan said: "General Chen, your mentor is really a god! But with this contribution of sending food, I, Gongsun Zan, will be grateful to him for the rest of his life! I hope that if I have the opportunity in the future, I can ask General Chen to recommend him to me.
