Song Beiyun walked outside the big tent and shouted, "Go, throw the notice into the city."

Soon, the heavily armed squad arrived at the city, holding a shield in one hand and manipulating a stick tied with cloth strips, with stones wrapped in the cloth strips, and a notice written on the cloth tied to the stones After whirling around a few times in their hands, they threw the stone into the city. The rebels on the tower naturally started to fight back, but as long as they saw the bed crossbow aiming at this side, the soldiers who threw the stone would go to the city. Afterwards, it was released, and ordinary bows and arrows would be blocked by shields and infantry armor, so they would not work at all.

A basket full of cloth strips with irrigation notices was thrown into the city, and many steamed buns wrapped in oilcloth were also thrown into the city.

Some of the soldiers at the top of the city were already very hungry, no matter whether it was poisonous or not, they picked it up and ate it. After eating a few mouthfuls, they found that nothing happened. They picked up the best white flour steamed buns on the ground one after another.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" The general went up to the top of the wall and saw the soldiers searching on the ground. With red eyes, he scolded, "Don't pick it up! Don't pick it up!"

Seeing that his words were not effective, General Shen, who was already upset, took out his knife and beheaded two defenders who were squatting on the ground picking up food. !"

"General...we are very hungry. The rations have decreased a lot in the past two days. Soldiers can only eat one meal a day, and they are all mixed grains... This is unsustainable."

A quartermaster hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded: "General...you can do it, the soldiers really can't make it any longer."

The ginseng sighed with his arms akimbo, turned his head to look into the city, gritted his teeth: "I'll come and find a way with you!"

But where is the solution?The armament in the city itself is only enough for [-] days. According to the plan, there will be food from Changsha County, but now their city is besieged, and they don't know how long it will be besieged. It won't be long before they will definitely mutiny, and now that the army outside the city is saying that they will flood the city in three days, all the soldiers are starting to panic to varying degrees.

Now the commander-in-chief is bedridden, life and death are uncertain, and without a backbone, he seems very helpless.

When he was wandering below, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he looked at the tens of thousands of houses in the city...

At this time, Song Beiyun was eating lard residue, and 10,000 live pigs had just been sent from the rear. Killing and eating meat would definitely not be enough for [-]+ people, so he refined lard as much as possible to meet the needs of some of the hardest soldiers.

It was fried in the hot oil. It was white, tender and crispy. Even without adding anything, it was an excellent delicacy. But even Song Beiyun himself only ate two pieces secretly, and the rest was for the frontline soldiers. Yes, if other people eat it, they will be beaten with military sticks.

"This is really delicious." Song Beiyun clapped his hands and said to a subordinate next to him: "Distribute it and let the soldiers eat some, so please bear with it. The supplies are still not sufficient after all."

In fact, the subordinates didn't have any complaints, because when they saw Song Beiyun, they only took two bites to taste, and they didn't even show it to the woman who had been with him all the time.

How do you say something?Don't worry about injustice, don't worry about injustice, if you distribute things to the poor majority, no one will ever object, even if they don't want to, but if you distribute things to people above the middle level, then there will be troubles next time, this Everyone understands the truth.

"Let me tell you, after this counter-insurgency, no matter where you are assigned to be on duty, you must remember three taboos to keep you safe forever." Song Beiyun took out a piece of cake from his arms and said as he gnawed: "One Avoid arrogance and extravagance, second, avoid sending troops to rob food, and third, avoid treating soldiers like animals. Remember it and it’s over, follow it to keep you safe and secure.”

The lieutenants below all agreed, and Song Beiyun continued to ask: "You are all killers on the battlefield after all, so you know why water attack is better than fire attack when besieging the city?"

"I don't know..."

Hmm... Song Beiyun is not surprised at all. Most of the generals at the grassroots level are semi-literate. What they are best at is carrying a banner and shouting loudly, "Brothers, follow me!" I don't know why.

Water attack during a siege is one of the tactics that can destroy local morale the fastest, because compared with the fire that can be extinguished, the psychological oppression of ubiquitous floods is more shocking. It is unstoppable and irreversible to food, produce, etc. The damage is enough to make the defenders completely lose confidence in a short period of time.

This is the loss of culture. Even Song Beiyun, who has never fought a war, can clearly understand this under the teaching of King Fu.

But it can't stand the difference in the cognitive system of many people, just like before Song Beiyun crossed over, his father went to the countryside to help the poor. I can't describe how poor those poor households in the valley are, but there are still many of them. Few people will eat the seeds, chickens, and piglets distributed.

This kind of thing is not like this if you go to high school, but... I have to say that knowledge can really change fate, and reading is really useful.

It seems that it is time to find a way to get a military academy out.

But it's all nonsense to talk about it now, the military academy is too far away, it's not what he thinks about now, when will he be able to be an excellent minister, when will he have this ability.

"Report! Commander Yun, a message has been sent from the rear, saying that Duke Dingguo is about to break through Jiangzhou, and is dispatching a part of his troops to help Nanchang County."

"Beautiful." Song Beiyun crossed his waist and took a deep breath: "After opening the road to Nanchang, we will be stable!"

At the same time, the city of Hengyang is already in chaos. Although there is an order from above that only [-]% of the surplus food from the people’s households can be confiscated, these soldiers can’t control that much once they act. With every last grain left, the entire city of Hengyang was filled with crying and cursing.

In fact, the general was aware of these things in his heart, but now in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he can only turn a blind eye to the boiling public grievances.

In the evening, the effect of the food requisition gradually appeared, the satisfaction of the soldiers soared, and everyone was almost refreshed.As for the suffering in the city?What does that matter to them?

Chapter 301: Heavy rain on March 3, 15? ? ?

"what are you busy with?"

Miao Yan sat cross-legged on the chair and watched Song Beiyun squatting there to toss the bed. He had been squatting there for two or three hours.

"You don't understand, do you?"

Song Beiyun turned his head in disgrace, and seeing him like this, Miao Yan couldn't help laughing.

"It doesn't matter whether I understand or not, the important thing is what are you doing?"

Song Beiyun patted the cushion next to his hand: "Sit on it and take a look."

Miao Yan sat on it and found it quite comfortable, dry and soft with a warm feeling, much more comfortable than a hard bed.

"You toss all afternoon, just for this?"

"That's right!" Song Beiyun said as a matter of course: "A person like me who loves leisure and hates work will never suffer as long as he has a chance."

Miao Yan shook her head helplessly: "You are too handsome."

Song Beiyun patted her butt: "Get started, I haven't finished the work yet."

While continuing to work, he babbled and said: "Using thatch is easy to get small bumps and itches on the body, and using cloth and the like is easy to absorb water and moisture to breed bacteria and fleas. I will let people burn bamboo into charcoal. It is crushed into powder and packed in three layers, so it is clean, soft and not easy to breed bacteria, and it is very comfortable to sleep on. This mattress can sleep for more than half a month. Think about it, half a month Is it worth the hard work of the whole morning?"

Song Beiyun rubbed Miaoyan's belly with his hands as he spoke: "Didn't you just come to visit relatives these few days? Sleeping on a hard bed makes you have nightmares and talk nonsense at night. This kind of soft cushion is guaranteed to let you sleep well. .”

"It's quite filial."

"Filial piety!" Song Beiyun directly wiped Miao Yan's face with his carbon-black left hand: "Filial piety is not filial piety!"

"Oh!!!!" Miao Yan jumped up: "You are dead!"

Song Beiyun ran away, laughed and ran out of the handsome tent and directly bumped into a general. The general was stunned, took a step back and said respectfully: "Shuai Yun, why are you so happy?"

"It's all right, old Liu, come on..."

Song Beiyun took the general by the shoulders and took him aside. The two squatted in a shed at the foot of the mountain to hide from the rain. Then Song Beiyun mysteriously took out a cloth bag from his arms, which contained a few pieces of lard residue : "Come, eat some. Don't tell others."

Looking at this childish coach, Liu Shenjiang was a little dumbfounded. If he didn't know, I'm afraid no one would be able to contact this mud monkey-like figure in front of him with General Baisheng who pushed him all the way from Nanchangping to Hengyang City. together.

"Old Liu, I know you are very familiar with the people in Hengyang. Tell me about the general. What kind of person is he?"

"Did Yun Shuai ask Fu Huaigu?"

"Yes, yes." Song Beiyun nodded again and again: "Old Liu, you know best, right?"

"It's okay, you might as well ask that who, he has worked with Fu Huaigu before."

"No, no." Song Beiyun waved his hand and said, "The subordinate's perspective is different from the collaborator's perspective. That's why I asked you what kind of person Fu Huaigu is in your eyes."

"Graceful, benevolent, intelligent and wise, if it weren't for the fact that he was a general from the Northern Han Dynasty, he would have entered the Privy Council now. The subordinates really don't know why he rebelled, but I think it's all because of... the kindness of knowing you?"

"Understood." Song Beiyun nodded and said, "Because he was a general, he was squeezed out, and then he was depressed for the rest of his life, and because of someone's kindness..."

"Yun Shuai... I didn't say anything."

Everyone knows who the culprit of this rebellion is, even the court knows, but after all, when it comes to the royal family, everyone is cautious and secretive, especially the officials of the court, otherwise they would not agree to let King Fu travel thousands of miles to help up.

After all, only the Zhao family can deal with the Zhao family. If other people play with this, even the teacher of justice will actually offend the Tian family.

"It's really difficult for such a person to instigate rebellion in a city. If the court is more enlightened, he may become one of the giants of the north, south and west with King Fu and Duke Dingguo. He is a famous general." Song Beiyun sighed: "Then you How sure is the water attack? Old Liu."

"Fifty percent." Old Liu slapped open his palms: "Five percent is dead."

Song Beiyun took a deep breath: "If it is really carried by him, reinforcements will arrive soon."

"That's right...the spies from the front reported that five days ago, soldiers and horses from many states gathered in Yongzhou and were marching towards this place. If we can't take Hengyang City, I will have to retreat to Changsha."

Song Beiyun ate a piece of lard residue: "It doesn't matter, I have to gamble with [-]%!"

At this moment, Fu Huaigu in their mouths is dying, and his originally red skin has turned white. Now he has bradycardia, atrioventricular block and even sinus arrest, and he has entered a coma from a disturbance of consciousness. stage.

If Song Beiyun was here, he would have been able to tell right away that it was an electrolyte disorder, and the infection on his body had caused a large number of Staphylococcus aureus to enter the meridian circulation, causing sepsis.

Hopeless.

General Shen sat beside him, looking at this handsome man who was like a master like a father, his days were running out, his tears were almost running dry, the hand in his hand turned from hot to cold, and there was no blood left.

"Master, wake up..."

But no matter how he called, Fu Huaigu didn't make any movement, but after three quarters of an hour, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the people around him, opened his mouth slightly, and said something.

"Marshal... what are you talking about, Marshal..."

General Shen knelt beside him crying: "You will be fine, don't worry, Commander..."

Fu Huaigu shook his hand with great difficulty, and said with all his strength, "Jing..."

But before he finished his sentence, he exhaled his last breath and there was no sound of inhalation, and then his pulse and heartbeat all stopped. How could the general hear what he said, he just howled to find the doctor.

After the doctor came over to check carefully, he sighed helplessly and shook his head silently: "The commander... has gone."

The general collapsed on the ground at once, he didn't expect the general to go just like that, which made him fall into deep despair.

After guarding Fu Huaigu's body for about an hour, he wiped away his tears and stood up: "Commander, I will definitely guard this city, and when the reinforcements arrive, I will kill that Song dog and be buried with him!"

He knelt heavily on the ground, knocked his head three times to the corpse on the bed, and when he got up, his forehead was bloody, but he didn't care, he simply wrapped it in a white cloth and got up: "Come on, take Handsome helmet!"

He took the handsome helmet and soldier talisman and went out, but he hesitated a little when he wanted to tell others the news of Fu Huaigu's death, but in the end he had a heartbreak and sounded the drum...

"It's late at night, what are they knocking on?"

Song Beiyun held a bowl in his hand and looked at Hengyang City. There was a bowl of porridge in his hand. Some lard and salt were sprinkled on the porridge, and it was served with a piece of dry and hard pancake. It is full of fragrance.

"Master Song, this is a drum raising, and it will be used for points." Xiao Yu explained next to him: "The three drums will be killed, and those who have not arrived will be beheaded."

"Oh...that's it." Song Beiyun took a sip of porridge: "The whole army is on standby to prevent the enemy from breaking out."

But their defenses seemed to be useless at all, because there was no sign of the city gate being opened. On the contrary, the flag on the top of the city seemed to have changed, but it was too dark to see what the flag had changed.

"Huh??" Song Beiyun looked at this series of confusing operations, and he was also a little at a loss: "What is this?"

Xiaoyu's eyes are good. He looked carefully, but he still couldn't see clearly what happened.

"Master Song, do you want me to sneak in and investigate?"

"Forget it." Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "Can they still make humans inside? We just need to surround ours."

But having said that, Song Beiyun was really curious about what was going on inside. The flags on the top of the city were changed. This is not a common thing.

Could it be that someone inside has reversed again?

But now that they have reached the stage of besieging the city, they have no reason to rebel, because even if they rebel, people above the middle level will never survive, so this hard bone must be chewed, and there is no way to take advantage of it.Even in order to better attack the next city, many generals would choose to destroy the city and then massacre it.

Or the gang of rebels didn't know how serious the rebellion was, and they thought they would fight if they could win or surrender if they couldn't fight, and they would survive no matter what.

Being too kind will add a lot of trouble to yourself later on.

"Go, send some people." Song Beiyun rubbed his nose: "No matter what happens, go to the city and play some festive tunes for them, using suona."

Soon a few professional suona players came to the city, found a shady slope and lay down, and then the sound of tick-tock suona came, and the sharp and high-pitched sound was heard in the night sky. Extremely far away, and it is the festive tone of marrying a daughter, which is particularly messy and annoying.

"Yun Shuai, why..."

"No reason, I just thought that the enemy is tired and we are harassing constantly. You just blow this suona, and you change shifts. Don't stop for me. Keep blowing until they can't stand it."

Of course, Song Beiyun didn't know that Fu Huaigu had died. He just had a sudden idea to play the night suona to others. One was to disgust them, and the other was to make some people unable to sleep and drag down the fighting power.

But when this tone was heard on the general who had just assumed the command seal, it had a special flavor. He stood at the door and listened to the faint sound of celebration coming from the night sky. Go out and take the life of the Song dog outside!

Chapter 302: It Rained on March 16, [-]... I was not born!

"The water will be released tomorrow."

Song Beiyun looked at the Hengyang City towering there in the distance, and felt a little uneasy. Although he had made relatively comprehensive preparations, who could tell clearly what happened on the battlefield? Going down, I don't know how many invincible iron generals will appear in the world.

"Little fish."

"Huh?" Xiao Yu looked up at him from the side: "What orders does Master Song have?"

Song Beiyun held an umbrella and turned around slowly: "Tell me, what will you do if we are surrounded by people in the future and beaten up like this?"

"Suicide and martyrdom." Xiao Yu didn't hesitate: "Where is Master Song?"

"If I can make people surround me like this, what face do I have to live?" Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "This kind of thing doesn't exist."

Xiaoyu laughed, but it was still the same as always, not saying a word, but quietly followed behind Song Beiyun, like a little tail.

Xiaoyu likes to follow Song Beiyun. Although this person always speaks indifferently and always does some reckless things, he thinks Mr. Song is interesting, and he doesn't have the same arrogance like the people in the court.There was no aura of superiority in his eyes, but his actions were always rebellious and domineering. More importantly, he did not despise himself just because he was an eunuch.

"Little fish, don't look at me like that, really... this is when I'm sober, if one day I get drunk, I'll make a big mistake if I'm not careful." Song Beiyun sighed with his hands behind his back : "Young people also have youthful worries. At this age, even if there is a hole in the wall, I want to poke it in."

Xiaoyu didn't speak, but still looked at Song Beiyun with dimpled eyebrows, Liu Dai Qingyan and thin Emei, Jiangnan partridge.

"Oh! I'm so annoying!" Song Beiyun flicked his sleeves: "I'm going to find Miaoyan."

When chatting with Miaoyan, Song Beiyun actually doesn't keep his mouth shut. To Song Beiyun, her meaning is not as simple as meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, but meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land and developing an intimate relationship.

So many things, what can be understood is hard to say, and what is easy to say is hard to understand...Qiaoqiao and Qiaoyun are those who can talk but they don't understand, Xu Li and Yan Shu can understand but are hard to speak, Aunt Hong and Yusheng are It's... It's hard to describe, but if you want to say it, there are some things that are really hard to tell your family.
