Chapter 661 People, are they beasts?
At that time, in July of the sixth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, there was a thunderstorm in the capital, and the same was true for Bashu. Suddenly, a red feather came from the southwest, pulled out the red feather behind him, sang all the way, and the strong horse trampled on the mud and galloped into Chang'an.
Shortly after the carving, the city was thundering, and countless people ran around and told each other, and most of them were wet with tears.
"The Tubo invasion that had been raging the Tang Dynasty for five months was finally wiped out and ended. King Zhao of Xifu and his army chased into the plateau for 300 miles, rescued and regained 500,000 people who were abducted. On his way back, he cleared the world, and the soldiers plowed the land and swept the three hundred miles away."
What a brutal revenge this is to kill three hundred miles?
From then on, there was no worries in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, and there was no one within 300 miles of the border, and the vitality of the Tubo Kingdom was gone.
This battle is the most classic battle in the Tang Dynasty and the most painful battle in the Tang Dynasty. In order to lure the Tubo army into the depths, hundreds of thousands of people in Jiannan Road lost their lives. The entire Bashu land was full of vast land, with almost ten houses and ten empty signs.
It is said that after the war, King Zhao of Xifu was thrusting into the sky with blood and tears, and once roared and questioned the sky, and made a rumbling poisonous oath, saying: Jiannan will not return, I will never return. I wish to use this body to forgive my sins and comfort Jiannan's undead...
Recovery is the recovery, and post-war reconstruction is the most difficult.
The results of the war are so remarkable that it is almost terrifying. However, there are always villains in the world. Some people say it: "In order to make contributions, the King of Zhao of the Western Palace designed poisonous plans to use the people as bait. This is to ignore the demons of life and should bind themselves to thank the world."
This self-binding is not about tying up and apologizing for guilt, but about letting Han Yue disband his own power, restrain his power, and disband his own power.
The remarks came into the palace, and it was said that Li Shimin just smiled coldly and said, "The three guards of the Western Palace only dispatched two guards to cooperate with 500,000 soldiers to destroy a great country. My Tang Dynasty has this army to ensure the peace of the whole world. I want to see which bastard dares to say disbandment..."
The emperor personally stood up, and this statement suddenly lost its soil, but someone hid in secret and spread rumors. It spread throughout Chang'an within a few days. Countless ignorant children sang on the streets, and the songs clearly pointed directly at Han Yue.
The rumor and song said: "The Han family in the Central Plains is suffering, and the lives of the people are as good as earth. A plum tree is towering and the bones are buried under the tree. If anyone can harm the world, it is actually a demon star and a big rat."
This is a hidden folk song, in which the plum tree represents Han Yue. The burial of white bones refers to the people of Jiannan. The people who compiled the folk songs are very disgusting. He said that the reason why Han Yue's plum tree is towering and lush is because it uses the bones of the people as nutrients.
The meaning is self-evident, which means it is to splash dirty water. The most important thing is that Han Yue is the name of a demon star and a rat, and his sinister intentions have been revealed.
Now the Tang Dynasty has almost been pacified, and the domestic aristocratic families that have been hindered have been crippled. Han Yue’s Bingfeng is famous. In this case, some people dare to spread rumors. The hidden meaning behind it is so intriguing.
Some people say that this is Buddhism taking revenge because this time, Buddhism hated Han Yue to death.
But some people say that this was Li Shimin's work, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was afraid of his son...
...
Jiannan of the Tang Dynasty, the hinterland of Bashu.
A simple refugee camp stands on the bank of the river, and from a distance, it looks like smoke from cooking. This is the second month of the Tubo war, but there are still many homeless people in the refugee camp.
Although Tubo was destroyed, Jiannan Road was also in trouble. There were almost no complete villages in the entire Bashu area, and any place they could see were broken walls.
Reconstruction after the war is the most difficult. It can be described in a book, but the real situation is definitely a big project.
Dangdangdang
The huge camp stretched for seven or eight miles, and suddenly the sound of black and striking sounds were heard everywhere, and the sound spread everywhere, and soon all the straw sheds rushed out of people.
These people were all ragged people, all with a look of fear. Some men rushed forward and some women hugged their children and pushed down other peers fiercely.
At this moment, the people's kindness and kindness were gone, and everyone had only one idea in their hearts, that was, to rush forward desperately because there was food there.
There was smoke everywhere in Nuoda camp, and a big pot stood almost every hundred steps. Next to each pot, there must be a chef holding a large spoon, and there were five or six soldiers holding knives to guard the war.
"Don't rob, everyone has something to eat."
Because the people went crazy, the chefs in charge of serving the meals quickly shouted and said hurriedly: "Yesterday, because of insufficient food, I restricted the porridge soup slightly, but today I can eat it open. Our highness said that even if he starves to death, he cannot starve the people to death..."
However, no one listened to the chef's yell. All the people stared at the big pot with green eyes. There were sword-holding soldiers beside each pot. I'm afraid that the hungry people had already begun to rob them.
If a person is hungry, he can turn into a wild beast. Hunger is the greatest pain between heaven and earth, and it can turn the wisest saint into a demon.
For example, mothers love their children very much, but when they are hungry, they will exchange their children for cooking and eating. The so-called "changing children" and eating them, and human hearts turn into beasts. Some words are really not made up for nothing.
Because of hunger, you have evil intentions. You can kill people for a bit of food or fight for a little bark. There was a very vocabulary in ancient times that specifically describe this, such as rioters, such as mobs, and evil people...
The people were full of green eyes, and the chefs in charge of serving the meal did not dare to delay. These big-shouldered and round-waisted chefs were selected by the army. They swung a large spoon and started serving porridge.
"Don't worry, no one has it. Today's porridge is very thick. One bowl can be eaten as much as two bowls yesterday. And no one can even distribute two rough cakes..."
The chef kept serving porridge and shouting, but the hungry people couldn't care about this. Everyone rushed forward frantically, took the hot porridge and drank it in place. Although they screamed so hot, they still gritted their teeth and swallowed it hard.
A woman holding a child was very weak and could not squeeze into the pot behind her back. The child in her arms kept coughing, and occasionally she would make a faint cry or two. The woman stared at the pot with green eyes, and suddenly opened her mouth to bite the person in front of her, making a beast-like howling sound from her mouth.
"Get out of the way, let me eat, let my children eat..." She bit someone hard, as crazy as a beast, with a sharp color on her mouth, which was the blood that bites someone else.
The man in front of her was a tall man, but this man was only tall. He was already skinny and bone-ridden, and he was equally weak.
"Ahhhh, looking for death..." The man was bitten by a woman, and his natural reaction was to turn around and swing his fist. Although he was also very weak, the man was still whispering to the punch. If he hit it, the woman might be injured.
Suddenly, a hand came out like lightning and steadily held the man's fist.
"It's wrong to hit a woman!" The person who took action was Han Yue. After stopping the man, he still had a gentle face and whispered: "Even if you feel so uncomfortable, you can endure it. This sister-in-law is obviously so hungry. Why don't you let her be as a man? I know everyone is very hungry, but no matter how hungry you are, you can't forget that you are a person..."
A trace of conscience flashed in the man's eyes, and he suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.
Han Yue turned his head and looked at the woman again, and said warmly: "Sister-in-law, you are not right. Look at the big brother who bites him. He just blocked your way a little bit, and there are more people in front of you. Do you want to bite them all the way?"
A trace of conscience flashed in the woman's eyes, but she was soon replaced by hunger. At this moment, she didn't care about who was in front of her. She rushed up again and said, "Give me food, give me food, I want to drink porridge, I want to drink porridge..."
As he roared, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit Han Yue, with blood red like a beast in his eyes.
Several soldiers by the side of the pot were startled and raised their swords to kill the woman.
Han Yue quickly yelled and stopped quickly, shouting: "Continue to maintain order, no one is allowed to come."
Suddenly, I frowned and felt a severe pain in my wrist. I lowered my head and found that it was bitten by the woman, and the woman's mouth and teeth were covered with blood.
"I'm so hungry..." Han Yue felt sad, and suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Hurry up and throw two pancakes over and let this sister-in-law take a cushion first."
The guys there didn't dare to delay, so they shook their hands and threw two rough cakes from above the crowd. Han Yue took them and felt sad again, and found that the cake was green and greasy.
The cake also has the heat that it has just been out of the pot. Obviously, green and oily are not caused by hair and mold. The real reason is that there are too many wild vegetables mixed in it, which covers the yellowish-brown color that the grain should have.
At this time, a group of people came in a hurry, and they were all the generals and civil servants who were constantly inspecting the camp. Seeing Han Yue’s face dim, Lou Chengfeng couldn’t help but sigh: “Your Highness, don’t blame yourself. It’s a blessing to have food. The refugee camp has been supplying the people for two consecutive months, and the pressure on the fleet to transport grain is very huge…”
As he said that, he looked at Han Yue and said again: "Double or millions of people eat countless food every day, but what is worth pride is that no one starved to death. Only Your Highness can accomplish this in the world. Since ancient times, how can anyone not starve to death after the war?"
Before he could finish his words, the woman had rushed towards Han Yue again. She grabbed two cakes and stuffed them into her mouth regardless of the situation. She roared like a beast in her mouth, like a hungry wolf guarding her food.
The soldiers around him couldn't bear to see it, but they hated that the woman bit Han Yue just now, so although the woman rolled her eyes by the pancake, no one came forward to pat her back.
At this moment, the child in the woman's arms suddenly coughed a few times. The woman's crazy eyes suddenly slowed down, and her eyes softly looked at her child.
The next moment, her expression turned to Qingming. She first brought the pancakes to her mouth, then tried to moisten with saliva, then gently bent her mouth and approached the child, and carefully passed it over to the child for food.
Obviously, because she had long been hungry, she had no milk, so she could only feed her child with moistened saliva.
This situation made people around him look at each other, but Han Yue's eyes suddenly turned bright.
Human nature, he saw human nature.
