Chapter 124 Edge
Half a month, under the entanglement of hunger and the threat of death, I struggled to survive.
Shortly after the last Xishan injury, Chu Tianya once again carried arrow sores. This time may really hurt his vitality. In addition, it is a cold winter and there is a lack of nourishing ingredients, so he recovers slowly.
After drinking a bowl of rice porridge cooked by Xiao Ai that morning, he got out of bed and walked slightly in the yard. Hearing the sad shouts and beatings on the street outside the yard, he walked to the door to have a look.
Jiang Laosan and several other military patrol guards guarding the door came forward to stop him and said to him, "Chu Commander can't go out. It's quite chaotic."
"What's going on?" Chu Tianya asked.
"Several people are robbing the relief food distributed by the army. They are bleeding with their heads. They don't look good." Jiang Laosan replied.
Chu Tianya frowned and said, "Then you don't care. What does the military patrol do?"
"I can't control it." Jiang Laosan whispered with a wry smile, "There is a shortage of food in the city, and the army can't take care of it, so the food distributed to the people is getting scarce. In the past, it was possible to manage two meals a day, but now it is still tight at most one porridge a day. Those who have a big appetite naturally don't have enough to eat, so they come to compete for the old, weak, women and children. Such things happen all the time every day. How can it be managed?
"It must be managed." Chu Tianya's face turned cold and said harshly, "I've only been lying down for a few days and it has become like this. If the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan are in chaos and don't need to attack the Jurch, the city will be broken from the inside - arrest those who robbed for food, immediately!"
"Yes!"
Since Chu Tianya has given the order directly, these military patrols don't dare to talk nonsense, so they have to go forward to arrest them. After a while, someone brought it. Chu Tianya took a look and his heart was half cold. When he came to his mouth and wanted to curse, he also swallowed it back.
The perpetrators were several elderly people in their 50s and 60s. The victim was a woman in their 20s and 30s, holding a sick child of two or three years old.
The only thing these people have in common is that they are all hungry and have deep eyes.
The woman holding the child knelt on the ground covered in mud and cried endlessly, saying that her man joined the army and died in the city, and his family broke his livelihood and could only go to the barracks to get some relief every day. Today, I was robbed by these people. It doesn't matter if they robbed the food. I'm afraid that they will catch and eat their sick children. Such a thing hasn't happened recently!
Those old men and women also knelt on the ground and cried, saying that they were really hungry. Now they just went to the military camp to get food. They didn't have the strength to squeeze in line up and line up, so it was difficult to get it. All of them have been hungry for a few days.
Everyone listened and were silent.
"sister-in-law, come here. I have some medicine here to see if I can treat your child." At this time, Xiao Linglong came forward and directly brought the woman into the room.
Chu Tianya sighed and said, "You old people should also get up - Jiang Laosan, take them to the military patrol camp to get a bowl of porridge. In addition, who is in charge of the military patrol now?
"The days when the injury is too well maintained are all... Liu knife scar is in charge." Jiang Laosan whispered.
"Call that bastard to see me! ...Cough, cough!" Just a roar, Chu Tianya touched the arrow sore again and coughed in pain.
Jiang Laosan was angry when he saw Chu Tianya, and his heart was cold. He hurriedly took the old people who thanked him for his kindness.
Xiao Ai hurriedly came to help Chu Tianya caress his back and said worriedly, "Brother Chu, don't be angry. You haven't recovered from your injury. It's even more difficult to recover."
"Recently, they haven't come to tell me about the war in the city. The management of the military patrol is also a mess. I can't rest." Chu Tianya said, "The more extraordinary times like this, the more chaotic our city can be. Like today, someone robbed in front of the military patrol, but they were indifferent. In a while, Liu Scar came, and I made him look good... Cough, cough!"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. If it's windy outside, go back to the house first. Xiao Ai pulled him into the room worriedly.
After a while, Liu Scar came.
Chu Tianya saw him at a glance, and his anger disappeared quietly, because Liu Daoscar was carried, and he had lost a leg!
"Liu Scar, what's wrong with you?" Chu Tianya asked him to sit next to him and asked.
Liu Scar smiled and said, "On the third day of Taibao's injury, the villain took his brothers to support at the East Gate and was inadve an arrow in his leg. The villain is not too lucky, and the arrow is poisonous. In order to save his life, I chopped off this leg on the spot.
Chu Tianya is stuck in his throat, and he can't come out if he has something to say.
"The little man knew what happened when the Taibao asked me to come. The villain is guilty and should be punished. Liu Scar said, "In the absence of Taibao, although the villain tried his best, he could not take care of the military patrol. I can't help it. The villain only has this little ability. Taibao is gone. Those people don't accept me and can't take care of it. The little man wanted to move to Taibao several times, but he had to give up when he thought that he was too tired. Wang Dutong has also told me many times. Don't disturb Taibao in the near future, and let you recover from your wounds at ease.
"You don't have to say. I'm going back to the barracks today." Chu Tianya said, "If the chaos in the city is not broken, no matter how well I am, I can only be a slave of the subjugated country. What's the point? - Now tell me, what's the situation in the city?"
"The death and injury are heavy, and the situation is worrying!" After Liu Scar said these words, his face suddenly dimmed.
Chu Tianya patted him on the shoulder, "Say it in detail."
"Chu Jiajun, there are less than half of the people left..." When Liu Scar said this, he did not dare to look directly into Chu Tianya's eyes and said with guilt, "At the beginning, there were more than 11,000 people, but now there are less than 5,000 left. Due to the tight defense of the city, most of the time we are rushing to the gates of all sides, so we can rarely withdraw to govern the public security in the city. This leads to the order in the city that is not as good as before - the villain is not making excuses for his inability to do things. In fact, that's true!"
"I don't blame you. Go on." Chu Tianya said, "How's the war going recently? What is the trend of Jin Bing and the court?
"There is no message from the court, and there is no soldier." Liu Scar shook his head and said, "Jin Bing comes to attack every two or three days, which does not give us a chance to breathe at all. Those bastards seem to be born not afraid of death, and they can't kill and die endlessly. They fight more and more fiercely every time. Several times, our city defense was broken. We used human walls and blocked the gate with corpses to prevent them from attacking the city. It's dangerous!"
Just listening to Liu Scar's words, Chu Tianya has a sense of shock. After thinking about it, if there is something, he asked, "You mean that the golden soldiers are fighting more and more fiercely?"
"That's right. In the past half of the month, they have attacked a total of six times, each time with all their strength, each time they fought more fiercely than the previous time, and lost more troops. Liu Scar said, "It is estimated that no less than 40,000 people have been killed in our city, and the losses of Jin Bing will not be less than ours!"
Chu Tianya frowned and thought to himself, saying that according to the current situation, Wanyan Zonghan could not be in a hurry, waiting for our food and fod to run out and then catch the turtle in the urn. Since he was so anxious, it was estimated that he didn't have much food and fodder, or he had to speed up his pace under the pressure from the Jin court.
"It seems that it is at a jug jug jug, and Taiyuan and Jin Bing are approaching the limit. The more it is like this, the more you have to survive. Whoever can't stand it first will lose. Chu Tianya said, "In this way, I will come back. Later, I will go to see Wang Dutong and tell him that from now on, the military patrol will no longer participate in the battle of Sifang City Gate, and will make every effort to guard the public security in the city and ensure that the backyard will not be lost. Otherwise, it's not good to take care of one and lose the other.
"It's still too insightful." Liu Scar smiled bitterly, "The villain is a piece of rotten wood less than three inches. How can it be used as a pillar? It's appropriate for Taibao to come out to preside over the overall situation.
"It's really difficult for you these days." Chu Tianya sighed and said, "I was just injured by an arrow. You are still working without a leg. From today on, you can recover from your injuries!"
"Thank you for your kindness. The villain has no mother-in-law, no children, and his parents have gone early. They are lonely and widows. They are not fooling around. They stay in the barracks with their brothers, and they live a better life. Liu Scar smiled and said, "Although the villain is disabled and useless, he can recognize a few words and write and make some notes for Taibao."
"Oi, then you stay and transfer to the record room to join the army and be my deputy." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I don't know how long my military patrol can command. But as long as I'm still one day, the army will definitely not leave you.
Chu Tianya's words went into Liu's heart. The man with a scar on his face was quite ferocious, burst into tears on the spot and choked and couldn't speak.
At this time, Xiao Linglong arrived at the door and knocked on the door. Seeing this, Liu Scar hurriedly resigned and left first.
"What's the matter, princess?" Chu Tianya asked her.
Xiao Linglong came forward to look at him and said, "If it goes on like this, Taiyuan won't last for a few days."
"Do you mean that the disorder in the city has led to people's disorganization, and the city will break through without attack?" Chu Tianyadao.
Xiao Linglong nodded and looked sad. "Ada has been out of the city for so long, and there is no response. It is estimated that it is mostly bad luck. Now that the grain and grass in the city has reached the bottom, the people dare to openly rob for a handful of porridge and rice, and even eat human flesh. This is no longer as simple as the issue of order and public security, but... Many people have collapsed their will and led to moral decline and disregard for the law!"
Chu Tianya nodded and wondered that the current situation was much more difficult and dangerous than I had expected.
"If you can take charge of the military patrol again and reorganize the order in the city, it may have some effect." Xiao Linglong said, "I just talked to my sister-in-law for a while. She told me that it was good to have a military patrol in the city in the past. It's just that in the past ten days, the military patrol has gone to war and has not been in charge of the city, which has gradually led to chaos in public security. Now everyone is starving every day. It's better for others to die than to die. In order to eat, how can we take care of moral shame and human dignity? At this time, it can only be restrained by the law and force. In addition, the sister-in-law told me that the distribution of military patrol relief food is not a big problem. If there are acquaintances in the army, they can be divided more and early. Like those old people just now, after a day's queue, they can't get a bowl of porridge, so they can only starve to death. In the final analysis, even the military patrol in charge of grain and fodder is also a little messy.
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You said so much, just want me to get out of the mountain again!"
Xiao Linglong smiled slightly, "But you really don't have to work hard now, which I know."
"Then what did you say?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You are contradictory!"
Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "In private, I think the same as Uncle He and Xiao Ai. Of course, I hope you continue to lie still and don't care about anything. For Mr. Yu, I think it's time for you to stand up and do something you should do. This is a little contradictory, so I'm just telling you what I think. How to make a decision, it's up to you."
Chu Tianya looked at her fixedly and couldn't help laughing. He said to himself, this is the difference between Xiao Linglong and Xiao Ai and ordinary women.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Linglong frowned and looked contemptuous. "Every time I see you and the old father and son laughing like you, I have an obscene feeling!"
"Men are not bad, women are not love, which proves that I am very attractive when I laugh!" Chu Tianya laughed a few times, and slapped **, "Aiji, please help me out of bed quickly. I'm going to rush to save Li Min's life!"
"Bah! It's best for you to die!"
