Chapter 89: Sacrifice for You (I)
"Big brother, this is indeed human broth! Once my grandfather and I went hunting, got lost in the desert, did not eat for seven days and seven nights, and when we were dying of hunger, we found a corpse, and my grandfather cut a little meat from the corpse's thigh, stewed it into a pot of soup, and after drinking, I had the strength to get out of the desert. Although decades have passed, the taste of human flesh will never be forgotten! ā
The two came to the village and walked silently in the darkness of their knees. The cold wind whimpered and ran back and forth. After walking for a long time, they did not see a single light. Geng Gong sighed: "I remember when I first came to Shule, although it was not prosperous, it was also thriving. War is merciless, these innocent people have died because of war, alas, soldiers, murder weapons, this is really a wise saying. Fan Qiang comforted: "Big brother, if we don't hold Shule and let the Xiongnu enter the city, they will definitely kill all the people of Shule, which is many times more miserable than now." Geng Gong shook his head and said nothing.
The woman sighed and said, "My poor little child is dead!" After saying this, the woman could not cry even more: "Poor child, since he was born, he has suffered many hardships, lack of water in summer, lack of food in winter, and suffering from diseases, he cannot survive, and in the morning, he starves to death!" ā
The woman shook her head, and stopped talking. Geng Gong said: "Eldest sister, if you have anything to say, just say it." The woman said: "Big brother, now the Xiongnu are under the city, and the Han army is defending Shule." I heard that the Han general Geng Gong is very benevolent and righteous, and treats the people like parents again. At that time, there was a shortage of water, and General Geng preferred not to drink it himself, but also to give the water to the people, and this time the people gathered some food and presented it to the Han army, but General Geng refused to accept it. However, the Han army is not iron-clad, they still have to defend the city, in case the city is broken, we, the people, have only a dead end! At this point, the woman became sad and said, "In the afternoon, someone came to my house and saw that my child was dead, so he took the child away, saying that it was better to stew it into broth and present it to the Han army, and to express his heart. By the way, since you are Shule people, you should know the situation. 35xsā
The woman was fascinated and said, "I am a foreigner, married to Shule." The people of Shule are fierce, their hands and eyes are facing the sky, and they have always been unrestrained, but now they are deeply subdued by the Han army, which is really strange. Alas, I haven't seen that General Geng Gong, I don't know what he looks like, I heard that he is both wise and brave, no wonder the Shule people obey him so much, my child can be eaten by General Geng, and it is also a blessing to turn into his strength. At this the woman began to weep again.
Geng Gong didn't know that there was a person in the Hun camp who was worried about him day and night, and this person was Ruyan. She saw that the Huns had surrounded Shule City so tightly that not even a single fly could fly in, and she heard the sound of killing under the city day and night, and was worried. Sometimes Pu Nu Shan Yu saw it and asked, "What's the matter, beauty, why aren't you happy?" ā
Pu Nu was greatly moved, and said: "This time our army is victorious, you see the Han soldiers in the city, one by one they are so hungry that they are hungry and thin, and they don't even have the strength to throw stones, hehe, within a month, the Han soldiers are all starving to death, at that time, I led the soldiers to kill it, caught Geng Gong, and slaughtered the city for three days!" Ruyan shuddered, filled with deep fear. Pu Nu laughed: "Beauty don't be afraid, although you stay in the tent every day, don't go anywhere, waiting for me to take this city!" When the time comes, I will take you to the grassland in the south, when the spring flowers are blooming, and there is indescribable beauty. That Geng Gong is really powerful, such a small number of troops, according to Shule, even if I have an army of 100,000, I can't take a step forward, if I have such a tiger general, the Huns are in the middle of the rise, just around the corner! ā
"Yes, what the beauty said is reasonable, in some time, I will send someone to recruit him, if I get this person, I will definitely ignore the past suspicions and crown him king!"
