Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 470 Unavoidable Contradictions
The internal strife among the Tubo people is destined to be inescapable.

Although Tang Jun's attack made them reunite, once Tang Jun retreated, the primary and secondary contradictions began to change again, and they would soon return to a state of infighting.

There is no way, whether it is soldiers in the army or ordinary people, they all have to face a problem.

That is to eat without salt!
One cannot live without salt for a long time, and at this time, except for the nobles and some wealthy families in Qingtang City, other people, whether they are ordinary people or the army, have no salt to eat.

If those nobles and rich merchants have a lot of salt in their homes, it’s okay, they can use some of it to distribute to the army for the soldiers to eat.

But the point is that they don't have much salt left in their homes now, and who knows when they will be able to buy the next batch of salt. At this time, no one dares to share the salt with others.

They even dare not let others know that they have salt at home, because even if you donate a little salt, others will think that you have a lot of salt at home, and then they will draw all eyes to themselves.

All the nobles and the gates of the mansions were tightly closed, and their private soldiers and domestic servants were already fully armed and patrolling the mansions. If there was a situation, they could fight desperately at any time.

There are wandering refugees everywhere in Qingtang City. They have no food, let alone salt. They are looking for food everywhere. Once they find a scent wafting from there, they will gather in groups.

General Tubo no longer has the energy to care about the life and death of those civilians, and now he has to worry about his soldiers.

It doesn’t matter if ordinary people don’t eat salt, they don’t have to do anything. Those refugees just lie and sleep under other people’s eaves all day long. Even if they don’t eat salt, it’s not a big deal for them.

But the soldiers can't do it. They have to defend the city and fight now, and they haven't had salt for two days. The salt they grabbed last night is only enough to feed half of the soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers still haven't eaten. .

Now some soldiers have begun to swell, how can the soldiers maintain their combat effectiveness if this continues!

And at this time, he has no way to negotiate with those nobles and wealthy businessmen.

When Tang Jun had just besieged the city, everyone hadn't finished eating their salt, the situation was not that serious, and he was able to call them out for a meeting.

But since what happened last night, all nobles and households are now fully armed and on guard in their mansions. Once anyone dares to enter their mansions, it will be desperate.

"General, what should we do? If this continues, let alone wait for the Tang army to attack, we will not be able to take it anymore. I have already sent people down to find out. Some soldiers said that if this continues, they plan to escape."

"Even, even some people"

The general's voice became smaller and smaller, but the general could hear the meaning.

If there is no salt to eat, they will give up their defense and go to the city to plunder. After they are full first, they will decide their own way out.

In short, if that is the case at that time, the situation will get out of control, and I will definitely not be able to command those soldiers.

And once such a thing happens, it is impossible for the Tang army outside the city to just surround them and not attack.

Think about how Qingtang City, which is almost undefended, will face the attacks of so many Tang troops.

big head!

"Let's start from the east of the city first!"

The general said with his eyes closed.

"Ah?" The surrounding generals didn't realize for a moment what the general meant, what was meant by starting from the east of the city first.

"Each of you leads a team. Starting from the east of the city, collect all the green salt and coarse salt in the east of the city."

The number of nobles in the east of the city is the least, so the general chose to start from the east of the city first, because the resistance to attacking him in the east of the city will be much smaller.

After several generals heard this, they immediately took orders and left. In order not to mutiny, they had to do so.

The poorest part of Qingtang City should be the area east of the city. Although it might not be possible to get so much green salt, at least he could give his soldiers one or two meals with salt.

At the very least, it can last for a day or two, and now we can only take one step at a time.

Fortunately, two days later, their reinforcements arrived, and when the reinforcements arrived, they were liberated.

Fortunately, the refugees in the city are now wandering around, so that all the doors of those who have enough food and salt are closed.

After the gate is closed, they can't unite. It is not easy to break through one of them relying on the strength of his Tubo army.

At that time, you only need to grab them one by one, and it will be almost no difficulty.

And those few generals did exactly that. Each of them led a Tubo army, and they rushed over one by one, and it took more than half an hour to finish the work.

And the movement they made this time was surprisingly large.

Thousands of Tubo soldiers plundered wantonly in the east of Qingtang City, as if they were not robbing the people of their own country.

And those Tubo soldiers who were already red-eyed didn't care so much, they just rushed in to grab people and put a knife on their necks to ask whether they should die or salt.

Those who have salt contribution can live, but those who have no salt and food will only have a dead end.

But the Tubo people have always been tough, and the Tubo soldiers are of course unconvinced when the Tubo soldiers do this.

Conflict soon broke out again.

Thousands of Tubo soldiers and nearly [-] Tubo people directly broke out in a large-scale conflict in the east of Qingtang City, and it was a conflict that had no room for recovery.

Both sides have drawn their swords and have seen blood.

Zhang Yi and the others had lunch outside the city, and after chatting for a while, they heard that Qingtang City was bustling again.

The east side of Qingtang City is facing them, so there is turmoil on this side, even if they are not close, they can still hear a little movement.

"It seems that the uncle of Jingyang County is right, I admire, admire!"

Hearing the shouts of killing in Qingtang City, Wang Zhe smiled and bowed to Zhang Yi.

At this time, he didn't send troops to attack Qingtang City in such a hurry as before.

"General, shall we prepare for an attack on Qingtang City later?"

A general asked, in his opinion, the outbreak of internal strife in Qingtang City is a good time for them to attack. If they charge bravely, they can even kill all the Tubo people in the city!
"Hey, don't be in a hurry, you young people, you have to calm down and learn from Master Zhang Yi, ah!"

Wang Zhe looked at Zhang Yi with a smile. He knew that although it was a very good time to attack, he had great confidence in taking down Qingtang City.

But now is not the best time to attack, so he is still waiting.

"Come here, fetch me a game of chess, I want to play a game with Jingyang County Bo."

Wang Zhe suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Yi instead of Qingtang City.

Soldiers Deling quickly went to find the chessboard.

"The general is so excited!" Zhang Yi smiled, and what the soldier brought was exactly the chess that Zhang Yi 'invented'.

"Come on, play a game with me!"

"But it's disrespectful!"

The two sat facing each other as they spoke, and began to play chess.
