I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 149 The Feast of Killing
Chaoge county magistrate Yuxu's plan has slowly begun.

Xiang Chong, as the current leader of the Chaoge Xiang family, even now he is quite prestigious in Chaoge.

It can even be said that even Yu Xu, the county magistrate of Chaoge, and even other subordinate officials may not be opponents of the Xiang family.

With the strong support of the Xiang family, thousands of winter clothes were sent out of the city.

At the same time, the thieves in the mountains also began to accept them without any thought or suspicion.
However, although winter clothes can help them survive the cold winter ahead, they cannot fill their stomachs with thieves.

When the food looted in the mountains became less and less, the thieves who gathered together finally panicked, and they once again felt the feeling of being unable to eat.
Once, because they plundered the entire Chaoge County, they had food that they thought they could eat for a long time, and they would never have to worry about it.

But they forget that they are no longer a family, they are thousands of people
When thousands of people are no longer engaged in production and know how to eat and drink every day, the food and grass that they thought were inexhaustible quickly and slowly dissipated.

By the time these thieves discovered this, it was already too late.

Don't look at the fact that there are thousands of thieves, but they can't even gather a wise brain together.

In just half a month, the group of thieves in this mountain were about to collapse on their own.

They shifted responsibility from each other, saying that the other party ate too much, and there were even those who had feuded against each other for various reasons before, and some even attacked and killed secretly.

If it weren't for the fact that Chaoge and the surrounding counties didn't have enough soldiers and horses.

Hebei's soldiers and horses have not yet fully returned, and the court can't estimate it.

Now just send a good general with a thousand or eight hundred elite soldiers and horses, and you can wipe out this "rebellious" bandit on the spot!
But even though the imperial court couldn't send people over, the bandit came to Chaoge County on his own initiative.

"Zhao San'er, you said you have nothing to do here at Chaoge, and we have searched all of Chaoge.

Now those common people are starting to eat grass roots and bark. When you come here again, do you have a crush on the little lady from Chaoge? "

On the streets of Chaoge City, two thin men, one tall and one short, were walking aimlessly on the street.

The tall Zhao Wu looked helplessly at the short Zhao San beside him.

As thieves on the mountain, they are really depressed.

At the beginning, he became a bandit because he had no food to eat, and then he followed their leader, whose name he still can't remember, to rob houses and even attack Chaoge County.

As a result, now they have killed people and attacked the city, but they still have nothing to eat!
The food on this mountain is almost at the bottom, and the rest has fallen into the hands of those leaders, and it has nothing to do with ordinary bandits like them.

Therefore, if these people want to survive, they can only ask for blessings.

And Zhao San and Zhao Wu came to this place at this time
"Brother Xiao Wuer, don't talk nonsense, there is no lady in this city that we like.

Even if there is, it's not easy for us to take action against Chaoge now."

Zhao San groaned in his stomach, but he still couldn't help sighing and said, with eyes that had already started to turn green, he kept searching around, thinking to see if he could find something to eat.

To be honest, Chaoge County is also a bit embarrassing in the eyes of those bandits.

After all, Chaoge is almost defenseless now, and it seems that Yu Xu has no intention of repairing Chaoge at all, nor does he intend to continue to enlist in the military.

Just let Chaoge die like this, and don't know what to do every day!
But the thieves are also embarrassed to attack the people of Chaoge again.

Not for anything else, mainly because this Yu Xu is too sensible.

It's fine to give a gift before, although it is said that the gift was stolen by one of my own people, but it is a kindness from others anyway.

And after failing to give gifts, they rushed to make a lot of winter clothes for them, and now they really don't know what to do.

If you do this, it's like flipping the table when you're full.

But if they don't do anything, these thieves really don't know where they should get some food.

Zhao San had no choice but to drag Zhao Wu up and down, and then planned to take a look at Chaoge now.

At least get something to eat to fill your stomach.

But today, it seemed that he felt very strange. Although he was usually very deserted, he was able to meet some people anyway.

But this time it was different, they walked this way, as if the people in this city were deliberately alienating them.

There are even some children who don't know how to worry, when they just came towards them, they were directly pulled away by their respective families.

Then he took it aside with a look of horror on his face. This posture made the two of them a little weird.

"I said Zhao San'er, did you find out?"

"Yeah, I found it. But I don't know what's going on"

"How about... let's go back first?"

"Um"

Zhao Wu looked around and quickly reached an agreement with Zhao San. The two of them didn't care about finding anything to eat now, and walked quickly towards the city gate.

I plan to leave first.

But it was too late for them to discover the problem now. When they turned a street, they suddenly found that the whole street had become clean.

Although there was dust everywhere, there was not even a single person on this huge street.

At this time, even two real fools should realize that something is completely wrong.

"No. Be careful. Ah! Who!"

Zhao San, who was just about to tell Zhao Wu to be more careful, threw a feathered arrow directly into his body before he finished speaking.

The severe pain made him scream out, followed by more than a dozen private soldiers of the Xiang family who had started to ambush at some point and rushed over.

Holding a sharp blade and a shield, and a crossbowman holding a crossbow behind him, he shot merciless arrows at the two of them.

With such a gap in numbers and equipment, they were instantly besieged, shot and chopped up.

"Okay, everyone is dead!" A somewhat cold voice appeared from behind the battlefield, and then Xiang Chong directly covered his nose and waved his hands at the crowd.

"It's not just these two people who came into Chaoge City. Clean up this place, and then let other thieves stay here too!"

"promise!"
