Chapter 33: Who is the Big Winner?
Chapter 33: Who is the Big Winner?
The Huns on horseback were difficult to catch.
Basically can't catch until the horsepower is consumed.
The Huns after the death of the war horse were not easy to catch.
When the Huns under the Hun Evil King were mixed into the Hun slave group, it was even more difficult to catch.
This is the situation that Zhou Hong is facing now.
Eleven Hun slaves stood in front of him, and he couldn't tell which of the eleven slaves was the Huns who had just fled.
The tired war horse fell not far away, and the footprints left by the Huns fledging pointed to this field.
But he had no way to accurately find the fleeing Hun from among the eleven people.
"Hand it over, or they'll all be executed!"
The military marquis's voice was as cold as iron.
A gray-haired Hun man came out of the crowd, drooped his head, and closed his eyes in resignation.
The long knife of the prince slashed at the neck of the old Hun and cut off his head, until he died, and the old Hun did not say a word.
Zhou Hong glanced at the old Huns' dark and rough feet, he didn't believe that the Huns living next to the Hun Evil King didn't even have a pair of shoes, and the series of footprints just now were obviously wearing shoes.
Together with the dead Huns, only one of the eleven people was wearing shoes, and when Zhou Hong's eyes swept over the shoes, the thin Hun wearing shoes turned around and ran.
The bolt pierced his body mercilessly......
A pair of large, fairly sturdy cowhide boots on a pair of dirty little feet is obviously inappropriate.
"Kill them all!"
Zhou Hong didn't have time to slowly identify it, although he had countless ways to test the fleeing Huns, he had no patience.
The bolts rang out, and nine more corpses were on the ground.
He expected the slaves to identify the Huns, however, no one did, even though they were equally afraid of death.
As far as the eye can see, the field is full of Huns who are busy with autumn sowing, they are very industrious, and no one takes a second look at the killing field here.
Zhou Hong's heart was completely cold.
"Don't you even recognize your own slaves?"
The furious Zhou Hong looked down at the Han people who were kneeling in front of the horse and shivering.
The steward raised his head and looked at Zhou Hong with resentment: "In the past, the slaves of the family had a brand on their bodies, which was easy to identify, but later, these slaves were bought and bought, and there was no way to add a brand, if every family did this, these slaves would not have a few good skins on them."
As for identification, these people all look similar, and it's really hard to recognize. ”
Zhou Hong whipped the Han steward, and then continued to chase the other Huns.
At this point, two hours had passed......
At the beginning, Zhou Hong's encirclement was only ten miles, and his manpower was still usable, but when the encirclement expanded to thirty li, his manpower was completely insufficient.
Now, hundreds of miles away, trying to find the fleeing Huns as soon as possible is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
When the Hun Evil King was alive, these people relied on the name of the Marquis of Luoyin, and they could still live freely in Shanglin Yuan, after the death of the Hun Evil King, these Huns clearly knew that their only fate in the future was to become slaves, and there could be no other possibility.
These circumstances were all expected by Zhou Hong, as for these people being shielded by the Hun slaves, and they were so resolute, it was really beyond Zhou Hong's expectations.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, all Zhou Hong could do was to collect his troops and return to the camp.
On that night, there were sixty-three slave revolts.
At dawn, the furious beast-like Zhou Hong divided the 1,000-feather forest army into five teams and continued to pursue the escaped Huns, only this time, they not only wanted to hunt down those Huns, but also to hunt down the slaves who had killed the guards and escaped without a trace.
On this same day, the Yulin Army led by Zhou Hong killed 671 fugitive slaves!
Although the bodies of the fugitives were hung on stakes, on the second night there were thirty-two slave riots.
In the Shanglin Garden, which spanned 300 miles, Zhou Hong was tired of running for his life......
Zhang Lian mobilized all the people he could muster, followed Zhou Hong to chase and intercept in the vast Shanglin Garden, and tried hard to control the situation in the Shanglin Garden, when he learned that the gladiatorial arena on the outskirts of Yanglingyi was broken by the bandits hiding in Lishan, and the bandits swept the weapons of the entire gladiatorial arena and coerced all the gladiators to escape into the dense forest, his last psychological defense line finally collapsed.
The current situation is no longer beyond the control of the Thousand Feather Forest Army and the rangers he gathered, as well as the borrowed generals.
After Zhou Hong pleaded for sin, Huo Quai, Yun Lang, Cao Xiang, Gongsun Ao, Su Jian and other important generals were summoned by the emperor to the Inutai Palace.
In just a few days, Zhou Hong was haggard and unshaped, and Zhang Lian, who had no legs, was tied up in the gate of the Inutai Palace, and not far from them, a hundred and ten vicious dogs were barking at the two of them.
When Yun Lang walked into the Inutai Palace, those barking dogs immediately closed their mouths, and shrunk into a ball with their whining low, their tails hidden between their legs and they didn't even have the courage to look at Yun Lang.
Also, there were originally more than 400 mastiffs here, and after a big battle with Yunlang, there were only so many broken dog legs left, and it didn't take long for them to heal.
Therefore, I am full of fear for this person who eats and kills countless dogs.
Su Jian, Gongsun Ao rushed to Zhou Hong, who was tied to the pillar, and Zhang Lian took the lead in entering the Inutai Palace with a smile.
Huo Quai, Yun Lang, and Cao Xiang frowned and looked at these two unlucky guys.
"What's so good, people die for money, birds die for food, our brothers are finished, and in the future, I will ask the three brothers to take care of their wives and children for the sake of everyone's good friendship in the past."
Zhang Lian had no legs, so he could only tie them to the foot of the pillar, looking up at the lively three brothers, still looking like they were not stingy.
Cao Xiang said with a smile: "I heard that you have a few good little wives, do you want me to take care of them?" ”
Zhang Lian said angrily: "If my brother can help my brother escape the catastrophe, don't talk about a few concubines, even if I want my younger brother to serve the pillow table, I am willing." ”
Huo Quzhi was in no mood to tease Zhou Hong and Zhang Lian, and said impatiently: "A war of annihilation has become a defeat battle, put it in front of the army, this is the life of beheading, and now, there is still the face to ask us to help." ”
Zhou Hong said unconvinced: "We were cheated." ”
Yun Lang sneered: "Who cheated you? The Evil King? ”
Zhou Hong's eyes flickered twice, and after all, he didn't say that he was cheated, but just sighed and said, "Be careful, I don't think this matter is over." ”
Cao Xiang said with a smile: "I just found out, the recent atmosphere in Shanglin Yuan is not right, don't you see that our brothers are all shrunken turtles, as long as you have the ability, the money of the evil king is so easy to take?" ”
Zhang Lian hugged and said, "Grandpa, we really didn't get the money from the Evil King!" When we went in, there wasn't a single copper plate in the house of the Evil King. ”
Yun Lang looked down at Zhang Lian and said, "That's not right, say it again!" ”
Zhou Hong said angrily: "If we get the money, we won't feel wronged, we really didn't get it." ”
Cao Xiang sneered: "You must get it!" ”
Zhang Lian said loudly: "I swear to the sky, if I get it...... Hey? Our brother only got 50,000 gold! ”
Zhou Hong was about to reprimand Zhang Lian angrily, but when he saw Yun Lang, Cao Xiang looked like Zhang Lian was teachable, so he closed his mouth.
When he was young, Yun Lang, Cao Xiang, and Zhang Lian were smarter than him, which Zhou Hong knew.
Cao Xiang smiled and said: "That's right, how can I not get money after sending troops, when did my Han soldiers return empty-handed?"
With these 50,000 gold, we will be able to talk to Your Majesty. ”
Zhang Lian said pitifully to Cao Xiang: "This tells the family, send all the concubines to the house, and Zhou Hong's family also has a few good colors." ”
Huo Qubing couldn't see the obscene appearance of these people, spat and took the lead in entering the main hall of Inutai Palace.
Yunlang, when Cao Xiang entered, the emperor had not yet come out, and Sui Yue was dozing off on the edge of the big seat with the dust in his arms.
The Inutai Palace is poorly furnished, and there are a lot of dog skins on the ground, and Su Jian, who came in first, and Gongsun Ao are kneeling on the dog skins and closing their eyes.
They occupied the left side, Huo Quai, Yun Lang, and Cao Xiang had to kneel on the right.
In an instant, the hall fell silent again.
Liu Che walked out of it with a long sword hanging from his waist, untied the long sword and slapped it heavily on the low table and said: "The courtiers are incompetent, I will go into battle in person!" ”
Su Jian, Gongsun Ao repeatedly kowtowed and asked for guilt, Cao Xiang also wanted to do this, and when he saw Huo Quzhi and Yun Lang straightening their waists, they had the courage to straighten their waists.
"Not convinced?" Liu Che seemed to be able to burst out of ice beads between his teeth.
Huo Quzhi looked up and said: "The minister is not out of the horse!" ”
Yun Lang continued: "The minister has been waiting for a long time, just waiting for His Majesty's order!" ”
Cao Xiang saw that the words of these two people were tough, so he flattered the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, there are still secret passages under this Inutai Palace that have not been identified, for the sake of Your Majesty's safety, Weichen dared to invite Your Majesty to enter Fuli City." ”
Liu Che ignored Huo Quai, Yun Lang ignored it, and when he saw what Cao Xiang said kindly, he slowed down his tone and said, "Is your Fuli City my safety?" ”
Cao Xiang puffed out his chest and said: "Wechen doesn't dare to say that it is foolproof, but Wechen dares to guarantee that before Wechen dies in battle, His Majesty should be fine." ”
Liu Che nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Now, there are thieves everywhere in Shanglin Yuan, what do you Aiqing think? ”
Huo Quzhi stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Weichen will send troops, and he will definitely kill all the thieves in less than a month." ”
Yun Lang also stood up and said, "Weichen will cooperate with the hussar general to comb this Shanglin Yuan well." ”
Liu Che smiled: "In the end, there are still those who have the courage to do anything, since you have requested, then go, the tiger talisman will be delivered later." ”
Huo Quai, Yun Lang got up and left the table under the incomprehensible gaze of Su Jian and Gongsun Ao, and strode out.
Liu Che looked at Cao Xiang, who wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Cao Xiang arched his hand and said: "How can the army be dispatched without money, Weichen thinks that Zhou Hong and Zhang Lian can use the 50,000 gold from the Luoyin Marquis Mansion as military funds." ”
Liu Che was obviously stunned, and Su Jian and Gongsun Ao next to him were even more surprised.
After a few days of fermentation, the things that should have been clear have already been revealed to the world, everyone knows that Zhou Hong, Zhang Lian did a stupid thing, and he didn't get any money, but he fell into it.
The two of them now want to know where Zhang Lian and Zhou Hong's 50,000 gold came from.
Liu Che was silent for a moment and said to Cao Xiang: "50,000 gold escorted to the treasury, ordered Zhou Hong, Zhang Lian to make meritorious contributions, if there is disharmony, behead the sacrificial flag before the battle!" ”
Cao Xiang leaned over and bowed: "Oh! ”
