Chapter 38 Please come down

The melting snow combined with small pieces of ice poured into the trenches dug by Yun Xiao, and a 30-meter-three river suddenly appeared around Ji City.% Ji Dan was completely desperate. Yun Xiao, a strong man who dug the river and built the tomb, killed no one, and was returned to Ji City intact. Before leaving, Yun Xiao even gave each person a string of copper coins as wages. The unknown people of Ji City knelt on the ground and thanked Yun Hou for kindness.

The granary reserves were declining at an astonishing rate, with only 60,000 people coming into Jicheng. More than 100,000 people suddenly rushed into the Yun family, and the guards of the Yun family were still constantly arresting people. They met the people of Bianhan, regardless of gender, age, and as long as they did not resist, they would not kill them, but just brought them to the city of Jicheng. Then they built a small bridge and let them enter Jicheng.

"Your Majesty, this will not work! Yesterday, the Han people arrested more than a thousand of us to send us here, and we would not leave us there either. But if this person is put in, we have to eat! We don't have much food anymore, and now each person is only two taels a day. The soldiers only have three taels, and many soldiers are so hungry that their legs are weak. How can we fight such a battle?" Ji Yang said anxiously.

He had just checked Jicheng's grain storage yesterday, and if this continues, it is estimated that he can only last for another two months. Two months later, the people of Jicheng will not only eat five grains, but also have no wood for cooking.

"Your Majesty, why haven't the meat you want to provide today been delivered? Do you want our brothers' tigers and bears to go hungry? I remind you that these beasts are hungry and want to eat people if they are hungry." Shi Tianbao suddenly pushed the guard away and broke in. His two brothers stood on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were asking for guilt.

"Also, the rice that promised me was not distributed to me. Attacking the Han people, our brothers made great contributions. Without rice, why should I raise monkeys?" The third brother with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek stood behind Shi Tianbao and shouted.

Ji Dan had two big heads, and he began to regret recruiting these talented people. The Shi family brothers claimed to be hunters from Sushen and had their family skills in taming animals. They raised beasts in the mountains to make a living by raising beasts. Ji Dan was knocked down by a tiger while hunting. Fortunately, Shi Tianbiao, the second son of the Shi family, arrived in time and saved Ji Dan.

When Ji Dan saw his brothers' abilities, he felt like he met a god. At that time, just as the Jin family in the Great King City was aggressive and the Ji family was in a turmoil. So at Ji Dan's kind invitation, the three brothers came to Jicheng.

But the wild beasts they tamed consume a lot of meat and food every day. Ji Dan even built a pig farm for their brothers. There were many domestic pigs in it for the giant bears and tigers to eat. Even if Jicheng could do everything he could, he could only barely provide a scale of more than twenty.

Relatively speaking, the monkeys of the third family of the Shi family are much easier to feed, and they can be raised as long as they are allocated to rice on time. In the last battle with the Jin family, the monkeys of the Shi family set fire to destroy the Jin family's food and grass, which forced the Jin family to retreat. When ambushing the Han people, these monkeys who pounced down from the trees broke through the hedgehog formation.

"Three, please be careful. Jicheng has been in short supply recently. The supplies for three are still being raised. Please wait for three brothers." Although the three brothers of the Shi family are arrogant and rude, Ji Dan dared not offend him. If these beasts really get out of control, it will cause huge chaos in Jicheng. Besides, if the Han people want to attack the city, they will still rely on them.

But now it seems that the Han people just wanted to surround Jicheng and let everyone in the city starve to death, and there was no intention of siege the city.

"Your Majesty, it's not that my brothers are rude. But this beast is an animal after all. If I'm hungry, my brothers can't suppress it even if they want to suppress it. What do you think?" Shi Tianbao said threateningly.

"Ji Dan will definitely raise the money as soon as possible, and ask the three of you to go back and wait a moment. At the latest, Ji Yang will deliver the meat and food supplied to him."

"So, thank you Your Majesty!" Shi Tianbao glared fiercely at the two guards who had just stopped them, and walked out with the two brothers.

"Your Majesty, what should we give to him? The last batch of ten pigs were given to them the day before yesterday. Now there are no breeding pigs in the pig farm. What do you want me to give to him?" Ji Yang said helplessly.

"Take a few horses for them, it's only a day to bear it." Ji Dan sighed helplessly, his eyes full of loneliness.

"Horse! That horse is something to use in war. How can we fight without horses? Why don't we give them a few of the Han people's cows?" Ji Yang suddenly remembered the cows he snatched back.

"No, those cows are not allowed to move." Ji Dan said decisively. After looking around, he said in a low voice: "This Ji City has not been in control for a long time. Judging from the current situation, we can only surrender. These cows have to be returned to the Han people, and give all the treasures of our palace. If they really don't work, I will give my younger sister to the Han people's marquis.

I hope these can calm their anger and let us live a life. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of people may not be able to escape to death. Do you see that river? It is a line of life and death. Poor guys who get wages still kowtow to the Han marquis. If the copper coins are not used as food or drink, then you can have an egg to ask for money."

Ji Dan lowered her head and began to sob.

"Young Master, my younger sister is only fifteen years old... let alone her mother..." Ji Yang widened her eyes in surprise. Their sister Ji Mei is known as the number one beauty on the peninsula. She is treated like a national treasure in Ji City. Now the eldest brother is actually going to use her to please the marquis of the Han people, which shows that Ji Dan is really at a desperate end.

"Haha, the marquis who gave to the Han people are better than being trapped here like our brothers. You and I will find some horses for the Shi brothers to send them, and you secretly take them out of the city tonight and find a way to contact the Han people. Recently, because of the gutter, the Han people's defense has been a little relaxed. You must meet the marquis of the Han people. Convey our sincerity in surrendering, and he can agree to any request, even if... even if he wants my head."

"Your Majesty, this..." Ji Yang stared at Ji Dan with wide eyes.

"Ji Yang, it was my elder brother who had a greed for a moment that led to this huge disaster. It's too late to think about it now. Compared with these hundreds of thousands of lives, my life is worth it. If I can really exchange my life for these hundreds of thousands of lives. My Ji Dan is worth it."

Ji Dan closed her eyes, and big tears flowed freely along her cheeks. The taste was very bitter and salty.

The ditches outside the city have been completed, and unless the people in Jicheng turn into birds, it is absolutely impossible to fly out. Outside the east gate stands a large tomb, and the mound of earth is higher than the walls of Jicheng. Xiaohu and five hundred brothers are buried under the huge mound of earth. Whenever they see the huge mound of earth, Yun Xiao blames himself deeply.

Why didn't I listen to Dai Yu's words? Send troops to kill these damn Bianhans as soon as possible. This time, one of them must be killed, otherwise it would be impossible to offset the anger of himself and the entire army.

After draining the wine in the glass, Yun Xiao leaned on the lounge chair and took a nap.

"Mr. Marquis!" While Yun Xiao was half asleep and half awake, the eagle walked in and gave a deep salute to Yun Xiao.

"Tell me what's the matter!" Yun Xiao didn't even raise his eyelids. At this time, he was dizzy and was the happiest time to drink.

"Marty! Someone from Jicheng has come and said he wants to surrender!" Gangying said respectfully.

Yun Xiao sat up from the recliner, and his eyes turned black. He covered his head with his hands and slowed down for a while before asking, "Please step down?"

"It's the Marquis, Ji Yang, the younger brother of the lord of Jicheng City, sneaked out and asked for surrender, saying that the Ji family was willing to become a retainer of the Yun family and served the Lord for generations." Gangying answered while secretly checking Yun Xiao's face.

"Ha, please surrender. I really want to agree to their surrender. What will you do? What will so many brothers do? Don't look at me secretly. Your eyes are very terrible and it will be uncomfortable if you look at it." Yun Xiao's hand did not leave his forehead. The eagle was so scared that he lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Take him in, and the two armies will not kill the envoys when they fight. Even the members of the Ji family, we cannot break the rules." Yun Xiao took off his forehead and said to the goshawk.
