Chapter 769 The rebels are gradually rising
"Master Kong, Master Song, the rebels have arrived at the city. What should we do?"
The eunuch, Mr. Li, was extremely anxious at this time. He never expected that he had just killed Lin Weicheng, but how could the whole world turn against him as soon as he woke up.
How could Lin Weicheng be so virtuous and capable that he could make a crowd of rioters shout the slogan, "Learn from Lin Weicheng, and the world will be united"?
In this regard, Governor Kong Tianzong and Admiral Song Su were speechless.
If you say you're going to supervise the beheading, then just supervise the beheading. Why do you need a blunt knife to kill someone?
Of course, cruelty is a bit cruel, but why did you let Lin Weicheng say those words before he died?
Is it because the matter is not big enough?
Okay now, things are getting serious, why don’t you stop beeping?
But Kong Tianzong and Song Su did not dare to say this, and just explained:
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Li. The city of Xuzhou is high and deep, and there are only chaos in the area. They can't attack it."
Song Su also said: "I have issued orders to all counties. While guarding them to the death, they organized young and strong soldiers to march towards our state capital. Any rebellion in the district can be put down with a wave of hands!"
Manager Li had never seen any big scenes, so the scene outside the city really frightened him. The comfort from Kong Tianzong and Song Su could not bring him much comfort.
"Two adults, is this okay?"
Kong Tianzong and Song Su both said: "Yes, yes!"
Yes, this matter is not a problem at all in the eyes of Kong Tianzong and Song Su.
First of all, the first point is that the city of Xuzhou is high and deep, and there are many soldiers, making it difficult for the mob to conquer.
The second is that the rioters are really just rioters. They mostly use hoes, dung and forks. Even if they have weapons, they are only swords, guns, swords and halberds.
As for bows and arrows, there are very few; there are not even any siege equipment; even if there is armor, it is very few.
Third, the rebels are not even trained and cannot be considered soldiers. Facing the soldiers of the state capital, these people are all lambs to be slaughtered.
Fourth, the rebellious people do not have so much food.
You must know that it is the beginning of spring. How much food can these chaotic people have in their homes since last autumn?
Even if they attack the homes of the landlords and gentry, how much food will these families save?
This food is really not much for these rioters.
Not to mention that they each have their own power and are competing with each other. It is really not a cause for concern if food cannot be allocated effectively.
The reason why we are not taking the initiative to attack now is mainly because there are too few soldiers and too many rioters.
Although this chaos has many disadvantages, it also has advantages, that is, because it has no organization, it will not easily be defeated on a large scale.
To put it simply, the information about these rebels was not delivered in time, and rumors took time to spread. Neither fleeing nor surrendering could be achieved in a short time. Once the army was trapped.
Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out.
To sum up, Kong Tianzong and Song Su are firmly on the Diaoyutai, they just need to wear out.
Wait for the rebels to become more and more violent, wait for the rebels to run out of food, wait for support from other places, and wait for the court to react.
In all of this, as long as he doesn't take the initiative, the advantage lies entirely with him!
Therefore, their only task at the moment is to appease Manager Li. After all, this eunuch represents the court and the Queen Mother, and can be regarded as an imperial envoy after all.
If this guy lets the army take the initiative to attack because he is afraid of giving orders, or lets the army protect him when leaving the city, then that would be the biggest problem.
Moreover, as an imperial envoy, he cannot die in the hands of the mob so casually, otherwise they will not be able to survive.
Facing the comfort of Kong Tianzong and Song Su, Manager Li temporarily settled down, but he quickly reacted.
"Is there enough food in the city?"
Kong Tianzong and Song Su smiled, "The food is enough for us to last for a year and there is still some leftover."
However, the two of them were happy too early.
Because they had forgotten at this time, how could there be so much food in the granary under such corruption.
Therefore, the two did not know whether they ignored the corruption matter intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Manager Li didn't understand everything, so he just felt relieved.
But the Yanhan Trading Company on the other side, or the intelligence personnel of the Han army, were extremely helpless at this time.
I heard Chen Baosheng, the state's wine drinker, rubbing his temples and saying, "Is there not much food in Xuzhou City?"
The shopkeeper nodded, "There are so many shareholders in Xuzhou. We all do business together. Food is the easiest thing to do without touching weapons and armor."
Chen Baosheng didn't listen at all, "Just tell me how much food is left in Xuzhou City?"
The shopkeeper made a judgment and said, "Although we moved the granary, we still left some to prevent exposure."
"And if you save the rest of the food, you can probably eat it for ten days and a half!"
Chen Baosheng: "......"
What do you mean if you save money, you can still eat for ten days and a half, so you just said that the granary has been basically emptied.
He rubbed his temples again, "Where did the food go?"
The shopkeeper said: "According to the requirements, part of this food will be digested locally and then transferred to other places. A lot of it has entered the hands of our Han Army and the White Lotus Sect."
Yes, this is also the strategy of the Han army, to weaken Daqian's war potential.
There is not enough food to eat. No matter how many people and weapons and armor Daqian has, the combat potential will be reduced to an extremely low level.
But all this is based on the situation that Daqian's rule can barely be maintained.
Things are bad right now.
Of course, it did not have much impact on the Han army.
Then I heard the shopkeeper say: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about offering wine. Many families in the city have enough food."
Chen Baosheng shook his head: "I'm not worried about those guys, I'm worried about the people having nothing to eat."
"The current situation is that production has been damaged. Even if the Great Qian Dynasty is pacified, the food harvest this season will definitely be impossible. I don't know how many people will starve to death by then!"
This is the reason, but now he is also trapped in Xuzhou City, and the city is still under martial law.
Now, there was nothing he could do.
Outside the city, the mob didn't care about their formations, and the hatred and anger they had accumulated could easily be ignited with just one sentence.
Then, a group of people carrying ladders and holding sticks began to attack the city.
But they, who had no siege experience or siege equipment, faced only death.
Such an siege would do nothing but enhance the defenders' confidence and increase their achievements.
It was under this circumstance that the rebels began to choose leaders and chose to unite.
At this time, they will become more and more organized and start to have their own names.
What the Heavenly King's Army, what the Earth Tiger King, what Optimus Prime, nicknames, self-proclaimed, have gradually changed.
At this time, they had turned from mobs and chaos to refugee rebels.
The power of the people gathered together is infinite. In the siege after siege, they gradually learned how to siege and fight.
You see, sometimes many things don’t have to be learned in books, but can also be learned through practice.
It’s just that the cost is a bit high.
As for how much the cost is,
At this time, the Xuzhou moat was almost filled with corpses, and the smell of corpses had permeated Xuzhou City and the rebels.
"attack!"
With the sound of attack, the rebels carried the newly built ladder and began to rush towards the city wall.
