Chapter 182 Diligent King!
"I've been serving the king! I've been serving the king!"
Outside the south gate of Yecheng, a ragged man shouted with joy. The people who were queuing in and out of the city were stunned when they heard this. They all looked at him for no reason. Some familiar people immediately surrounded him: "Hey, I said, Wang Caizi, why are you yelling?"
"I've been serving the king! I've been serving the king!"
The madman Wang shouted to himself. The more people around him, the more they shouted, the more they became, and the more confused they were, because no one knew what "respect for the king" was.
Could it be that you want everyone to give you more porridge to the madman named Wang? So you call it "King Qin"?
Most of the people are ignorant, so they do not understand what "respect for the king" is, but the city gate officials are different. Although he is just a good writer, he knows what "respect for the king" means.
"Hey!! Wang Crazy, don't shout randomly!"
"I've been serving the king! I've been serving the king!"
"Hey! The more I talk, the more I get excited!"
The city gate official was angry and asked his subordinates to quickly bombard Wang Crazy. As a result, Wang Crazy was hiking around in the crowd, like a loach, shouting "I'm serving the king!"
After finally grabbing him, he was about to drag him out, and others quickly began to beg for love. Everyone thought that why couldn't they get along with a lunatic?
Wang Crazy's real name is Wang Er. He is a resident of the city. Although his family is poor, he married a wife. He was in good condition. However, when his wife was about to give birth, he had an accident and had two lives. Wang Er became crazy when he was stimulated by this and has since been called Wang Crazy.
He is actually a crazy man, but he can understand what others say. Sometimes he can communicate with others, but his brain breaks and he can no longer be like a normal person.
Seeing that the neighbors were pitiful, they helped him from time to time. Wang Caizi just had a meal of hunger and hunger, living like a beggar, talking nonsense from time to time, and no one took it seriously.
"Blame me? I'm saving him! Do you know what it is...Hi! Don't yell! If the government army hears it, it will be beheaded!"
The city gate officials who have good intentions have no good rewards cannot make their words clear. Now the official army is attacking Fangcheng. Yecheng is a major distribution center for food and grass, and there are soldiers of the official army everywhere. Once someone hears someone shouting "Terror", they will catch them and kill them.
Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has changed its emperor, you are clamoring for "responsible for the king" here, why don't you want to rebel?
Of course a madman will not rebel, but whoever is behind the scenes must be questioned clearly. However, a madman speaks without restraint and will be in trouble whoever has his name.
The city gate official could not say such a thing in public, so he asked the young man to take Wang Crazy away with a stern face. As a result, this person was crazy. Seeing that more and more people were watching, he shouted louder:
"I've been serving the king! I've been serving the king!"
"The heads of men, women, young and old, are hung in Xuanhu City!"
"Everything is dead!"
With a "bang", Wang Crazy was slapped by someone. Seeing that he was becoming more and more dissatisfied, the gatekeeper slapped him with his own hands to make him stop. Wang Crazy cried. The gatekeeper was about to do it again, but the raised hand was caught.
When he turned around, he saw a strong man in military uniform. He had a scar on his cheek, and there were several people around him, staring at the young and strong surroundings with bad expressions.
The gatekeeper felt that his wrist was as if he was pinched by iron clamps. He wanted to break free but couldn't move. Seeing this fighter looking bad, he was not easy to have an attack.
There were soldiers everywhere in Ye City. He couldn't afford to make a mistake, so he could only say: "June, what's wrong?"
"Let him, say!"
The strong man spit out three words, and the gatekeeper shivered when he heard this and let go of the madman.
The madman turned around and was about to run away, but was pulled by the strong man, and then asked loudly: "You tell me! What's wrong with Xuan Hu!"
"I've served the king! I've served the king..."
With a "bang", Wang Crazy was slapped by the strong man and turned around like a top.
The strong man grabbed Wang Caizi again and roared and asked, "Tell me! What's wrong with Xuan Hu!"
Wang Crazyman covered his swollen cheeks and cried and repeated what he had just taught him. The man ate many delicious foods and taught three simple and easy-to-remember words.
"The heads of men, women, young and old, are left behind!", "Everything is dead!"
The crying sound made the strong man feel as if he was struck by lightning. The soldiers next to him also changed their faces and became at a loss. The atmosphere on the scene became a bit subtle.
They were soldiers of the Yuzhou army. They came to Yecheng from the camp outside Fangcheng City to do business. As a result, they heard a shocking news in Yecheng many times: something happened to Xuanhu.
Many of the soldiers in Yuzhou's army were in Xuanhu. If something happened, the whole family would be over!
The strong man pushed the madman away, turned around and wanted to lead the horse, but was stopped by the soldiers accompanying him: "Captain! What this madman said cannot be believed, cannot be believed!"
"Can't believe it? You have heard about it somewhere else before! Something happened to Xuan Hu!"
"Guozheng! Guozheng! Leaving the camp without authorization is a death sentence, and such rumors cannot be believed..."
"I want to go back to Xuanhu, and go to death for death! My family is all in Xuanhu!"
"The team leader! Let's talk about it first! The general is not allowed to lead the troops back, what's the use of you going back alone!!"
......
Fangcheng, the tents are rising one after another in the field of the suburbs. The imperial army besieged Fangcheng is camping here. The camp where tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is stationed for several miles, and it looks endless at first glance.
The sunset is setting, and today's siege is over. The forest-like catapult has now reached a safe distance from the back. Smoke is rising from the camp, and soldiers from various units are making fires to cook.
The imperial army was ordered to attack the lord-killing traitor Yuwen Liang and his son. The army besieged Fangcheng was mainly composed of the troops of the Yuzhou General Administration, supplemented by the guest troops transferred from other places to attack Fangcheng. However, Fangcheng was like a piece of iron bone and could not be gnawed no matter how hard it was.
Both sides of the offense and defense are Zhou's troops, and they are very skilled in using stone catapults and sky-bombing thunder, and have quite some experience in authentic siege methods, so the stalemate of the battle has not yet made any progress on both sides.
But time is on the court, and if you spend it, the only thing that can't stand the Fangcheng defenders first, so the soldiers of the Yuzhou army are not in a hurry, but now it's different.
In the past two days, many rumors have been spread in Yuzhou through Yecheng to the camp outside Fangcheng and into the ears of the soldiers. At first, everyone thought it was someone who spread rumors, but as the rumors have increased, many soldiers began to feel restless.
What is the rumor about "The Two Days of Xuanhu" and "The Three Massacres of Ruyang" made the soldiers panic after hearing it. And today, the soldiers who went to Yecheng to escort food and grass heard the increasingly terrifying news:
The Xuanhu is over, it is really over. The men, women, young and old in the city were killed by the rioters.
After the news reached the camp outside Fangcheng, although the generals repeatedly banned the spread of rumors, the news still spread in the military camp because many soldiers' families were in Yuzhou, and they were not in Xuanhu, and they were in the neighboring area, and no one was worried about the safety of their families.
"Hey, have you heard of it? Why did Xuan Hu make trouble... I'm serving the king!"
"What the hell is the king? Which king's surname wants to give alms?"
"The charity is over! Now Yecheng is spreading, and the army of Kings has emerged from Xuanhu, slaughtering the whole city!!"
"What did you say!!"
Several soldiers who were cooking, heard the amazing news and exclaimed at the same time. Their families were all hanging in the air. If the rumors were true, then...
Today, they were so tired that they were looking forward to cooking and filling their stomachs, and then having a good sleep. Now that they heard the news, they didn’t have the time to eat. They went out with a lot of thought and walked around the nearby camp for a few times. When they came back, they were obviously in a state of dismay.
"What's wrong? What did you say outside?"
The man's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something but didn't say it. He went to grab the sword with red eyes and was about to go out, which shocked the others to stop him: "What's wrong? This is?"
"I want to go back to Xuanhu!!"
"Oh, why are you yelling? It's hard to pull it to get a hundred sticks when you hear it!"
"Go to the fuck a hundred sticks! My family is hanging their gourds!!"
As he was talking, the man started to cry. The other soldiers were shocked and suspicious when they saw this. They asked for a long time before they could find out what they were saying:
There are now rumors in the military camp that a few days ago, someone used the name of the king to cause trouble and blocked the Xuanhu City Gate and burned and killed the woman first and then killed her, and threw the younger ones into the jar and cooked the old ones, and fed the dogs with them.
When everyone heard this, the others were panicked, and there were screams and scoldings. When everyone turned around, they saw that many soldiers gathered together and confronted the general and his subordinates. It turned out that someone was about to leave the camp and return to Xuanhu, but the general was arrested on charges of disrupting the morale of the army.
If it were on weekdays, no one would help this unlucky person, but now it is different, because there are more than one person to leave, not a few, dozens, but hundreds, and even more.
"What do you want to do? Let's be honest! Whoever dares to spread rumors and deal with military law will have to peel off even if they don't die!"
The general waving his sword and bluffed. The situation was not good at the moment, and more and more soldiers gathered. They all looked bad. He could no longer suppress it, but it would not be possible to suppress it. He could only deceive and scare it.
"General! Everyone is talking about the king who is serving the king on Xuanhu, what's going on!"
"It's nothing! Xuanhu is very good! This is the enemy's detailed work that is spreading rumors! Don't spread rumors, don't be fooled by them!"
