Chapter 317: Debt Repayment
When Chen Mo returned to Lulongzhai again, the time had already entered early summer, and the time taken for the northern expedition to Karasuma this time was actually not long for a war.
When he arrived at Lulongzhai under the escort of the soldiers, he found that this place had changed, it was no longer the time when he came, Lulongzhai had undergone a renovation and seemed to be more balanced, and outside Lulongzhai, there was a huge deep pit, which seemed to be digging the foundation, the pit was very deep and wide, almost across the entire valley, close to the lake at the mouth of the valley, where there were Han craftsmen casting the embankment.
"King~"
Some Karasuma people recognized him and couldn't help but shout loudly, attracting the attention of more people, and many Karasuma people gathered in this direction, as if they wanted to protect their king.
"Go back and keep digging!" The surrounding Han army waved their horsewhips indifferently, driving away the Karasuma people, some people wanted to resist, the sharpshooter standing outside the pit quickly bent his bow and arrows, and shot it, in this huge pit, the Han army's suppression of the Karasuma people was very bloody, and if there was a slight resistance, they would shoot immediately!
"What are you doing!?" Angry at the sight of his people being mistreated like animals, even worse than animals, he couldn't bear it and wanted to resist.
"Bang Bang~" greeted him, is a violent beating, in this Lulongzhai soldiers, almost all of them are recruited from Youzhou, many of their homes were destroyed in the sacking of the Karasuma people last year, for this Karasuma King, the culprit of the slaughter of Youzhou, they have no mercy, as long as it is not, they will fight to the death, along the way, there is a slight mistake, it is a fist and kick or even whipping.
He suddenly turned his head, his eyes were cold like a wolf who wanted to choose someone to devour, and let the fist hit his body, his eyes were cold and terrifying.
It was the first time that the Han soldiers who did it saw such a look on this prisoner, their eyes were cold, and their hands became heavier, and there was no verbal communication, just fighting.
The war was over, but there was one last thing, Chen Mo had to preside over it personally, so he returned to Lulongzhai, which was the main place that triggered this northern expedition.
Badun was sent to the city tower under the escort of the soldiers, he had a blue nose and swollen face, and finally met Chen Mo, this brought the catastrophe of the Karasuma clan, the demon in the hearts of all Karasuma people, and the man who was also the enemy of Karasuma, the details of the Karasuma tribe, captured Liucheng, burned the royal court, and Karasuma's dignity was trampled under his feet fiercely, and even his spine was broken.
But when he really saw Chen Mo at this moment, he was a little stunned, he had thought about Chen Mo's appearance many times, maybe he was a rough and heroic man, maybe he was a domineering man like Lu Bu, after all, in Karasuma and even the entire grassland, most of the heroes looked like this.
But when I really saw Chen Mo, I was a little disappointed, it's not that he doesn't look good, Chen Mo has been handsome since he was a child, and now he is standing in his old age, with the calmness of a mature man, and a bit of elegance, he looks like a weak scribe, but the majesty occasionally revealed between his eyebrows makes people can't help but be in awe.
The appearance can be said to be perfect, the kind that makes people look very comfortable, but he is by no means the hero that the grassland people think, he is not as powerful as Bunton, under the wide Confucian robe, he can't see how the other party is physical, but he should be very thin, but he is such a person, almost let Karasuma extinct, which makes Bunton a little unacceptable.
"Lord, bring it!" Cao Xuan bowed to Chen Mo and bowed.
"You're the Bunton?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Badun, the smile on his face made Badun a little dazed, what was that faint affinity?
"Are you Chen Mo?" He snorted coldly and proudly raised his proud head.
"Presumptuous, thief of the defeated army, dare to call my lord by name!?" Cao Xing's complexion changed, and his backhand was a slap in the face of Badun, and the force directly hit Badun's head on the enemy tower.
"He is your lord, not my lord!" Badun sneered.
"Forget it, dying man, leave him some dignity." Chen Mo waved his hand and signaled Cao Sex to fight again, for such a man, the physical pain could not be convincing to him.
"Whoa!" Cao Xuan agreed and stopped moving.
Chen Mo walked to the coffin beside him, groped for the coffin, and didn't look back and said, "King Badun? Do you know who is in this coffin? ”
"It won't be my Karasuma anyway." Badun glanced at the coffin, when he was brought up, his eyes were attracted by this coffin, this coffin is too eye-catching, and whose coffin will be placed here?
"If you're not a Karasuma person, you don't deserve respect?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically: "This person's name is Bao Geng, he is my general, he has followed me for more than ten years, when I was still a marquis of Luoyang, I was already by my side, and I was born and died for more than ten years, does the king have an impression?" ”
He suddenly remembered that the general of the Korean army, who stood at the head of Lulongzhai City and fought until the last moment, did not fall even to death, but then snorted coldly: "I only remember the warriors of the clan, as for the so-called heroes of the foreign clan, what does it have to do with me?" ”
"Coincidentally, I have similar thoughts." Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Badun, still with a warm smile on his face, but that smile made Badun feel a chill in his heart: "I really want to know, since you have already captured this city and Bao Geng has been killed in battle, why do you still cut off his head." ”
"I don't understand the rules of your Han people, he is an enemy, and he is a general of the defeated army, since he is defeated, he is not qualified to stand! Lie down even if you die! Badun said proudly.
The soldiers of the Han army around him unconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, and their angry eyes seemed to be like substance.
Badun seemed to feel these gazes, and looked up proudly, looking at these soldiers with contempt, as if at this moment, he was the victor.
"Makes sense." To Bao Geng's disappointment, Chen Mo was not angry, the man kept a smile on his face as always, as if his words failed to make the other party fluctuate in the slightest, but seeing Chen Mo smile, "Those who don't know are not guilty, since you don't understand, I will teach you when you enter my Han land today." ”
"How are you going to teach? If you have any means, let you see the spirit of my Karasuma warrior! His face sank, and he snorted coldly, he was ready for any torture.
"I'm a person who hates torture." Chen Mo asked Cao Xuan to bring Badun to the city wall, so that he could see the scene outside the city, and waved his hand at the outside of the city.
Puzzled, he watched the Han soldiers in the pit quickly withdraw from the pit, and at the same time removed everything that could be climbed, and some Karasuma captives wanted to follow out, but they were immediately shot, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart, and he suddenly turned his head, looked at Chen Mo, and roared: "What do you want to do!?" ”
"Keep watching." The smile on Chen Mo's face made him very annoyed at the moment, staring at Chen Mo deadly, eager to rush forward immediately.
"Open the gates!" Under the city, at the junction between the lake and the deep pit, there was a soldier coldly ordered, and suddenly turned around, and saw that on the dam he saw before, there were soldiers who struggled to move the winch, and the sluice that blocked the lake was quickly opened, and the lake began to pour down the canal into the deep pit.
Suddenly looked at this scene with a numb scalp, his body trembled uncontrollably, and in the deep pit that he couldn't see at this glance, the dense figures were all Karasuma troops and Karasuma people.
"Stop...... Stop! His eyes were red, and he rushed towards Chen Mo desperately, but he was held down by Cao Xuan beside him, and roared angrily: "Don't you Han people say benevolence and righteousness? What is this doing!? ”
"Benevolence and righteousness are said to one's own people, just like what you just said, the king, foreigners, what do you have to do with me?" Chen Mo turned his head, the smile on his face was still kind, but it made him shudder.
"I surrender, I am willing to convince them, from now on, they are Hermes-Epitek, their own people!" He struggled to look at Chen Mo and shouted.
"No need, if I accept them, I can't face the unjust souls of the Han people killed by you in Yuyang and Liaoxi Second County, let alone the thousands of soldiers who died in the battle on Lulongzhai!" Chen Mo smiled and shook his head.
There is more and more water in the deep pit, cursing, begging for mercy, and crying voices continue to sound from the deep pit, gathering into one, even if those Youzhou soldiers who have the hatred of breaking their family are a little unbearable at the moment, but no one disobeys the military order, today's fruit is to repay the hatred of the Karasuma people to sack Youzhou, there are many Karasuma people here, and there are nearly 100,000 people in Liucheng Karasuma plus the captured Karasuma army, but there are more Han people in Yuyang and Liaoxi counties who died in the looting of the Karasuma people, and they have no reason to sympathize with these people.
Chen Mo stood on the city wall, watching this scene indifferently.
"I was wrong, please, please let them go!" For the first time, he lost control of his spirit, even if he was defeated in the royal court, even when he was captured by Lu Busheng, he did not despair, but at this moment he really regretted it.
"If it is useful to admit mistakes, how can there be so many wars in the world?" Chen Mo sighed and said: "The debt has to be repaid, and if you do something wrong, you have to pay it back, but this time, you have to pay it back with blood." ”
"But they're right! They are innocent! Badon roared frantically.
"Who is not innocent, are the people of Youzhou not innocent? What did you do? Killing people, stealing food, and insulting women, I at least gave these people dignity, but when you were robbing Youzhou, did you ever think of giving me the dignity of the Han people? Chen Mo turned his head, and the indifference in his eyes made him feel cold.
In the big pit under the city, some people struggled to climb out, but they were quickly shot by the soldiers guarding the surroundings, the northerners, especially the Hu people in the outer places, there are not many people who know water after all, and a large number of people have drowned in the deep pit, but the water is still ruthlessly poured down.
"General!" Ton knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing to Chen Mo, only knocking loudly, these people are dead, Karasuma is not to mention rising, it is difficult to continue to survive on the grassland, and it is likely to be annexed by other tribes in the end, Karasuma needs these populations: "There are as many Han people as the stars, but my Karasuma is just these populations, please have mercy on the general, give me Karasuma a trace of life......"
At this moment, the arrogant Bunton finally lowered his arrogant head, and his emotions were about to get out of control.
"I have a lot of Han people, so I should be slaughtered by you?" Chen Mo turned his head, looked at the sluggish man, and couldn't suppress the anger in his laughter, what kind of bullshit is this: "Since you know that you are weak, you shouldn't provoke the tiger, the consequences are not something you can bear, today you Karasuma exterminated the clan, all because of your arrogance, Karasuma should be exterminated!" ”
The shouts and pleadings outside the city have gradually disappeared, and Bunton's face changed, and he struggled to stand up and rushed to the side of the female wall, the huge pit has now turned into a lake, but he can't see the water, and what comes into his eyes is a dense corpse, and the lake no longer flows.
The sluice gates had been lowered again, and the soldiers around them had begun to add the excavated earth back to the holes, which was a huge undertaking, but everyone did it quite vigorously.
The Karasuma clan has been crippled since then, and the grassland is being annexed every day, maybe it won't be long before the Karasuma who is greatly injured will be completely reduced to history, in the history books, maybe Chen Mo will have a violent name, but he doesn't care, this time, he has a clear conscience, how do the descendants say, it is their business, he has no right to evaluate, he will even let the historian record this matter completely, as for the merits, at least for the current Han, this is merit.
"Roar~" At this time, Dian Dun didn't know when he broke free from the rope, bumped into Cao Xuan beside him, and roared towards Chen Mo, he was considered dead today, he also had to pull Chen Mo's back, and Dian Wei, who was following Chen Mo, hurriedly made a move, but because of the conversation just now, Dian Dun was too close to Chen Mo, and at this distance, Dian Wei was too late to make a move.
Chen Mo turned his head, looked at him indifferently, suddenly reached out, grabbed the fist he hit, and exerted force with his five fingers, and suddenly felt that half of his body was numb, and his body was directly turned around by Chen Mo and fell to the ground.
He was a little stunned, he couldn't understand that Chen Mo, who looked polite and had no sense of strength, would have such a strong body and strength, and before he could react, Dian Wei beside him had already rushed up and stepped on him, letting the soldiers beside him resubdue him.
"The last general's guard is unfavorable, please surrender the lord!" Dian Wei and Cao Xuan said to Chen Mo with a look of shame.
Chen Mo picked up the rope that was broken by Badun on the ground, and was a little surprised, this rope was actually broken alive, turned his head to look at Badun and smiled: "The strength is not weak." ”
He glared at Chen Mo fiercely, and said, "Even if I die, I will lead 100,000 unjust souls to turn into a powerful ghost and destroy your big man!" ”
Chen Mo smiled, looked down at him and said, "If you can turn into a powerful ghost, I can slaughter your entire clan again!" Now, kneel in front of Bao Geng's coffin and use your life to atone for his sins! ”
"Don't think!" Bunton gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up, but this time it was Dian Wei who got started.
Dian Wei hated that he almost hurt Chen Mo just now, so he lifted him up roughly, made him kneel in front of Bao Geng's coffin in a kneeling position, and picked up the iron halberd in his hand.
"Roar~" Badon roared angrily and wanted to stand up, he couldn't accept that he was going to kneel in front of the corpse of a defeated man and die in such a humiliating position, but in front of Dian Wei, any struggle was obviously futile.
The cold light of the halberd flashed, and the head of the man rolled in front of Bao Geng's corpse.
"Send someone to hang this head on the gate of Liucheng." Chen Mo glanced coldly at the corpse of the Ton and ordered.
"Whoa!"
Chen Mo kicked away the corpse of Bao Geng, came to Bao Geng's coffin, groped for the coffin, and breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Bao Geng, let's go home!" ”
