Cannot attack objects

Zhong Shao and his party walked very quickly, and the five days were only fleeting.However, in the past five days, besides rushing on the road, other things actually happened. For example, Xiao Wenxuan and others followed closely, and for example, Xu Wenjin took the time to write a strategy for Zhong Shao to deal with the snow disaster. The news of Shengzhou came back, and then Xu Wenjin burned that strategy on the spot...

On the fifth day, Zhong Shao and his party began to worry when seeing Shengzhou was approaching.

Before entering the city, the five thousand Xuanjia troops rested first under Zhong Shao's order, and Zhong Shao took the opportunity to come to Xu Wenjin and asked him, "Sir, what good plan have you thought of?"

The ups and downs of the five days made Xu Wenjin's complexion a bit ugly, his pallor was filled with exhaustion that could not be concealed, he smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Ah Shao is embarrassing me, I can give you advice, but even a clever woman can't cook without rice ah."

After hearing this, Zhong Shao couldn't blame Xu Wenjin, so he could only sigh.

They received news from the beggar gang yesterday that Shengzhou was basically in chaos, especially after the assassination of King Fu, the governor of Shengzhou placed him in the governor's mansion, and then sent soldiers and horses to guard him.As for the governor's mansion, since the fall of King Fu, there has been no one to provide disaster relief. Countless people died of freezing and starvation, and people who were driven to desperation often smashed shops and houses just to grab a bite of food.

In such a scene, we can't blame the governor for not helping the disaster, because there is no food in the city of Shengzhou at this moment, even if he wants to help the disaster, he can't do it!Even the moment when Fu Wang was suddenly assassinated by rioters, it was inseparable from this-the food provided by the court for disaster relief disappeared for no reason, right in the city of Shengzhou, right under the eyes of the governor of Shengzhou!Perhaps it was also because of this that he did not dare to speak out in writing.

When he got the news, Zhong Shao was so angry that he wanted to flip the table, but when he finally calmed down, he had to send the news back to Anyang quickly.What made Zhong Shao even more troublesome was that the disappearance of the relief food was actually a secret in Shengzhou, not many people knew about it, and no matter how the beggar gang got the news, the common people didn't know about it anyway.So they thought that the disaster relief food was being corrupted again, and everyone was already red-eyed.

The Five Thousand Xuanjia Army, it's no problem to suppress those hungry and cold victims, but what they are facing at this moment is not a vicious enemy, but unarmed people.Don't say that Zhong Shao can't bear it, these elite soldiers on the battlefield can't wield their swords.

Zhong Shao was a little depressed, she thought for a while and said: "The food in Shengzhou is gone, or else, it is better to get some from other state capitals nearby. Before coming here, His Majesty promised me to do something cheap..." But this cheap way was originally The target is King Fu. If there is really a change in him and the situation is urgent, Zhong Shao doesn't have to arrest him and bring him back to Beijing for trial, he can kill him directly!

Xiao Wenxuan probably didn't understand the meaning behind it, she just frowned and worried about King Fu in the city: "In this case, let's get someone to fetch food and grass. I want to go to the city quickly, but I don't know what my father is doing now. Seeing that Shengzhou was approaching, the group of people stopped, she was very anxious, if she was not worried that the city was too chaotic, she would have planned to go ahead by herself.

On the other hand, Xu Wenjin, his eyes flickered slightly after hearing Zhong Shao's words, and then he didn't say much, just shook his head in disapproval and said: "No. All the state capitals closest to Shengzhou have been hit by disasters, although there are imperial courts now The grain and grass were allocated for disaster relief, but the nerves of the victims are still tense. Having grain trucks entering the city will naturally calm the hearts of the people, but if they see the grain trucks leaving the city at this time, there will be chaos immediately!"

Shengzhou is already in chaos, if she behaves in a moment of confusion and the chaos spreads further, I am afraid that the Northland will be completely chaotic... Thinking about his ill-considered proposal before, Zhong Shao was shocked Cold sweat, and thinking about the sudden disappearance of the disaster relief food in Shengzhou City, she felt that it was not simple behind it.

After thinking for a while, Zhong Shao asked Hong Ping, "The disciples of the beggar gang are unparalleled in the world in finding out information. Does the master have no clue about the mastermind behind the disappearance of food and grass?"

Hong Ping frowned immediately when he heard the words, he shook his head and said: "The disciples of the Beggar Clan are not omniscient, if I hadn't asked people to investigate carefully, I am afraid that even the theft of disaster relief food would not have been investigated. As for this matter Behind the scenes... Excuse me, if I hadn't seen the governor's panic-stricken appearance, I would have thought he was stealing from him! There are really no clues."

Zhong Shao was angry, and a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart. She frowned and said, "In this case, what can we do when we go to Shengzhou? We can't provide disaster relief, and we don't even have a clue to calm the chaos."

It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and this time Xu Wenjin had no choice but to say: “It’s useless to say more here, let’s talk about other things after entering Shengzhou City.”

**************************************************

Maybe it was because of the turmoil when King Fu was assassinated, or maybe it was because there was no food in the city. When Zhong Shao rushed to the city of Shengzhou with his soldiers and horses, he realized that in broad daylight, the gate of Shengzhou was actually It was closed tightly, and the outside of the city was filled with darkness, and an unknown number of victims of the disaster had gathered.

Zhong Shao frowned when he saw it, and even Xiao Wenxuan, who was worried about her father, couldn't help but said: "Why is the city gate closed?! In such a cold weather, these refugees are left outside the city, and they will not freeze to death at night." ?!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Wenjin on the side shook his head when he heard the words. He said: "It is right to close the gate of the city, but to let people into the city is the way for everyone to die." After he finished speaking, seeing Xiao Wenxuan was puzzled, he explained Said: "There is no food in the city now, and many disaster victims have entered the city before. If people are allowed to enter again, there will be chaos, and these people will still have a dead end if they have no food or drink. It is better to close the city gate. It makes the victims outside the city feel that there is no hope of entering the city, so they consciously go to the nearby state capital. Although many people must die along the way, it is better than dying in the city.”

After hearing this explanation, Xiao Wenxuan had nothing to say. She pursed her lips tightly, but after all, she felt depressed in her heart, so she cursed in a low voice: "What's wrong with this world, so many people died in the snow!"

Since stepping into the disaster-stricken areas of the Northland, they have often seen dead people on the side of the road along the way.Sometimes it was the elderly, sometimes children, sometimes even the whole family died together, and most of the corpses were yellow, thin, and ragged, and most of them were frozen hard when they were found!At first Zhong Shao asked someone to help him bury it when he saw it, but later he saw too much and the frozen ground was difficult to dig, so he had to give up.

Xiao Wenxuan had never seen so many dead people with her own eyes in her life, not only her, but Xu Wenjin and Wu Changjun also felt heavy in their hearts.Originally, for them, this world was a fiction, and they didn't have to care about anyone except Zhong Shao, and even Zhong Shao was not equal to them.But they really saw this natural and man-made disaster with their own eyes, but they couldn't help but be moved.

If Wu Changjun and the others had come here with the mentality of earning points before leaving Beijing, then when they were on the scene now, those favorability points seemed to be less important...

The city gate of Shengzhou was blocked, but when the five thousand Xuanjia troops with distinctive armor appeared outside the city, both the defenders on the city tower and the victims outside the city gate were obviously shocked.The victims first consciously gave way, and when Zhong Shao and others drove their horses to the bottom of the city tower, the defenders on the city also raised their voices and asked, "Which general is coming from the city?"

The little general beside Zhong Shao raised his voice and returned: "My general is General Habayashi Zhonglang, and he came here to take over the affairs of Shengzhou by order."

The defenders in the city heard the words and dared not make a decision, so they hurriedly asked for the governor to come.

Zhong Shao and the others didn't have to wait long, and at the moment when the victims outside the city were discussing, another head finally poked out from the tower.The man was wearing a purple brocade robe and a purple gold crown on his head, obviously he was not an ordinary person.

He seemed to recognize Zhong Shao, and when he saw her look up, he called out, "General Zhong?"

Zhong Shao raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't pay much attention to it, so he said with a straight face: "I came here by order, and I also ask Governor Zhou to order to open the city gate and let me enter the city."

As soon as she finished speaking, the victims around became excited, obviously planning to sneak into the city after the city gate opened—although what Xu Wenjin said before was not wrong, these people obviously didn't know that there was neither food nor food in the city. Without a place to live, they only put all their hopes in this fairly magnificent city, thinking that there would be a way out after entering the city.

The commotion around was getting bigger and bigger, Zhong Shao's heart sank when he saw it, and Governor Zhou on the tower felt even more embarrassed.However, the imperial envoy who came here on order was still under the city gate, and he might not be happy to see him shutting the city gate tightly. No matter how bold he was, he would not dare to stop people outside the city gate.What's more, the identity of this person under the city is unusual, she is a son-in-law, the son-in-law of His Majesty's only daughter, who dares to neglect? !

Finally, Governor Zhou gritted his teeth and ordered to open the city gate.

Hearing the rumbling sound of the city gate opening, Wu Changjun looked left and right at the people who were getting more and more restless, and said with some concern, "Are these disaster victims allowed to enter the city like this? As Wen Jin said, it is not a good thing to let them enter the city."

Zhong Shao sighed, pressed his forehead with some headaches, and said: "So what if you don't let me go? With so many people, can you stop them? What's more, those who are willing to leave may leave early. They will freeze sooner or later if they stay outside the city gate." To die of starvation... is to suffer for those people in the city."

Sure enough, when the city gate opened, these victims no longer cared about the intimidation of the army, and rushed in one by one towards the city gate, even the sergeants behind the city gate were unable to close the city gate again.

Pushed by countless victims, the heavy city gate was quickly opened completely. Zhong Shao and others waited outside the city for a quarter of an hour before entering the city. Then she soon saw the pale-faced Governor Zhou.

Seeing this person, Zhong Shao's heart also became angry for no reason. She raised her hand and whipped the horsewhip on Zhou Cishi's shoulder, causing him to scream in pain, and the clothes on his shoulder were also soaked in blood.However, Zhong Shao didn't care that this person's official position was not low, and his power was not small, so he angrily said: "Hunger and death are all over the city outside Shengzhou, all because of you concealing the report, do you know how many lives you have carried on your body?!"
