    Jesus

    In their biographies of Zhang Xun, the Old and New Book of Tang (finished between 945 and 1060) – the primary official dynastic histories covering the Tang period – estimate that about half of the original population of 60,000 people (including the troops) were eaten. When the city finally fell, “there were only 400 survivors”, all of whom were soldiers. No civilians seem to have survived.[5][6]

    Eating the concubine was something else too man …

    That’s enough Internet for me for today.

      Admittedly it is unlikely all of those people were eaten and none of the sources here are what we would call “good”.

      Regardless I do think Zhang Xun was looking for a reason

        All of my memes are original and not reddit reposts.
