Chapter 452

The sky was faint, and the grassland was silent. The torch that was burning just now has been extinguished at this time, only the faint black smoke is still not dispersed, the two Donghu people are wearing thick leather jackets, their hands are in the cuffs to keep warm, and the weapons are thrown aside, in this weather, no one wants to hold a cold weapon in their hands.

Looking at the low-level grassland, you can vaguely see dozens of broken felt bags, although it is the old land of Xue Que in the past, but it is far away from the center of the Xue Que tribe, and the center of the old land of Xue Que is a military stronghold of the Great Shang Dynasty at this time, the Donghu people have not yet had the courage to carry out a military struggle with the Great Shang Dynasty here, and the low barrier is undoubtedly a chasm that is difficult to cross for the Donghu people.

In the bleak north wind, a remnant army of more than 1,000 people slowly drove to the stronghold of the Donghu people, and they didn't have time to greet the Donghu people stationed here, so they staggered and piled on the ground, tired so that they didn't want to stop and didn't want to do anything else, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu came, they couldn't stop them from resting for a while, because this road was really chased and killed. And the two Donghu people who guarded the felt bag did not come forward to talk, but just looked at the eyes of the remnants of the Donghu soldiers, and a faint light flashed.

"Damn." As soon as he arrived at this place, the tired King of Donghu felt that he could take a breath, there were thousands of people and horses in Donghu, which also gave him some confidence, and King Donghu said to Le Shi beside him: "It feels so good to be alive!" ”

Although☆,.. However, he was already exhausted, but King Donghu's heart was still full of joy, sorrow and excitement for the rest of his life, and it was not easy to return alive from the ice and snow grassland.

Looking back now, King Donghu is still afraid in his heart, that tube is a terrible nightmare, and people can't bear to reminisce about it.

Le Shi also wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said loudly: "Fortunately, there are only two ambushes in the Great Shang Dynasty, if there is one more ambush, we will die without a place to be buried, it can be seen that Changshengtian has not abandoned us, we are still the masters of the grassland." ”

"I'm afraid I'm too happy! What is the Immortal Heaven? ”

Le Shi bracket sound fell, not far away suddenly sounded a burst of laughter, the originally empty felt bag item carved out of the black pressed soldiers, a big flag from one of the largest felt bags near the erection of the flag, the flag face in the wind secretly opened, on the temptation of the "Great Shang Dynasty" four big characters.

Under the banner of the cheering merchant army, a military general who has turned around proudly stands up, and the morning light shines on the dark iron armor of the general, lining the cold and cruel smile on the corner of his mouth: "King Donghu, Zhao Kuo has been waiting here for a long time. ”

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Zhao Kuo's voice fell, the fierce sound of war drums and the sound of loud horns rose to the sky, and the originally quiet felt bag suddenly boiled, and nearly a thousand iron horsemen rushed out of the felt bag, approaching like a storm, surrounding Donghu King and others.

The north wind howled, rolling up the snow, and the Donghu king's tent was a bleak scene.

"Stepping on ......"

In the rapid and heavy footsteps, two groups of stern infantry along the Donghu king's tent, stepping on the neat steps of the surging forward, the sonorous and cold iron armor flashed with dark brilliance, and the bundles of cherry red tassels on the soldiers' helmets were as beautiful as blood under the light of the morning sun, like the blood thrown by the Donghu people.

"Stand still." The leading officer raised his arms leisurely, and the soldiers who were surging behind him slowed down, scattering in a form of goose wings, and the brushes made people's hearts tremble.

The officer gave another order, and the two teams of soldiers slammed the spears in their hands to the ground, and with a loud bang, they formed a strict alert formation, one by one, with their chests and stomachs straightened, standing solemnly in the wind, their vigilant eyes staring straight ahead, and the cold aura of slaughter followed, although they did not speak, it could clearly show the meaning of not approaching the living.

In the suffocating wait, the sound of the horse's hooves shattered the silent king's tent, and under the frightened and frightened eyes of the Donghu people, hundreds of horsemen rushed towards the king's tent before turning over and dismounting.

Surrounded by Mao Sui, Li Si, Zhao Xin, Wu Liti and others, Zhao Kuo went straight into the hall of the Donghu King's tent, threw his cloak and sat down on the main seat, and said in a deep voice: "Bring the Donghu King up." ”

Zhao Xin, who was standing behind Zhao Kuo, took a step forward, a trace of cold murder flashed in his fierce eyes, and suddenly raised his huge head and shouted: "Take King Donghu." ”

"Your Majesty has an order to bring the king of Donghu ......"

Zhao Kuo's orders were passed one by one, and in less than a moment, the chaotic footsteps sounded outside the hall, the figure flashed, describing the rotten wood, and the embarrassed Donghu King had been escorted into the hall, Zhao Kuo and the generals' eyes fell on the Donghu King like a knife, and the Donghu King glanced at Zhao Kuo lightly, turned his body slightly, and his face was quite disdainful.

Wu Li took a step forward and drew his sword, doing his best to threaten, and said: "Seeing that my majesty is elite and does not kneel, do you want to die now!" ”

"Humph!" King Donghu snorted from his nostrils, he was not afraid, he had already figured it out, it was impossible to escape death anyway, it was better to be tough.

"Muriti."

Wu Liti was furious and wanted to stab the king of Donghu to death with a sword, but was stopped by Zhao Kuo's broken drink.

Zhao Kuo drank Wu Liti, then turned to King Donghu, and said indifferently: "King Donghu, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the first time we meet, right?" ”

King Donghu said coldly: "Not bad. ”

General Zhao Xinzhu drew his sword at the same time, glaring angrily, Zhao Kuo raised his right arm leisurely, and the three of them suddenly put away their swords and retreated.

Zhao Kuo stared coldly at King Donghu, a terrifying cold flame suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said sharply: "Someone." ”

The two pro-soldiers clasped their fists with their hands and replied solemnly: "The last general." ”

"Escort the king of Donghu back to the base camp and kill him three days later." Zhao Kuo felt that only by creating momentum in this way could the ruling influence of the Donghu King be weakened from this grassland.

The two pro-soldiers promised to set up the king of Donghu and left, the king of Donghu's body was shocked, his face turned pale in an instant, and he struggled fiercely, death is not terrible, it is a big deal, but the taste of being cut alive is not something that anyone can bear!

Zhao Kuo was unmoved, waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Take the stone." ”

It only took a moment for Le Shi to be brought, and compared to the arrogance of King Donghu, Le Shi seemed calm and calm.

"Stone." Zhao Kuo shouted, his eyes pierced straight into Le Shi's eyes like a torch, Le Shi was not afraid or avoided, and calmly met Zhao Kuo's sharp eyes, with a calm expression.

Zhao Kuo's eyes flickered, he looked at Le Shi for a long time and was silent, and said word by word for a while: "I will fulfill you, and you will be beheaded and shown to the public." ”

Mao Sui Shi Ran walked into the back hall, bowed to Zhao Kuo, and said respectfully: "Mao Sui see Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Kuo said indifferently: "Sir, you don't have to be polite. ”

Mao Sui said: "Your Majesty, you must be strict to see Your Majesty, and let Weichen block it back." ”

"Oh, what did Su Yantuo say?"

"Nothing more than congratulations to Your Majesty." Mao Sui said lightly.

Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and the figure flashed, and Li Si's thin figure flashed in.

Zhao Kuo got up and asked, "How was the result?" "Although the battle is over, the statistics have not been released.

Li Si took a breath, and said with excitement in his eyes: "The battle of the grassland can be described as a complete victory, because the war is still not over, the casualties of the enemy and our army cannot be counted for the time being, but there are nearly 10,000 prisoners of war who have been collected so far, and General Zhao Xin has captured the three small tribes around the royal tent, but ......"

Zhao Kuo said: "But how? But it doesn't hurt for you to talk. ”

Li Si said: "Our army can only stop here, and we can't continue to attack other tribes in Donghu." ”

Zhao Kuo's expression moved, and he asked, "Why is this?" ”

Li Si said: "Although our army is victorious, there are hidden worries, one is that the army is unstable, the Donghu people who have just surrendered can not be trusted, and the other is that the grain and grass are not enough, it is now winter, it is very difficult to transport grain and grass in various places, and some veterans are not used to eating beef and mutton. ”

Zhao Kuo said: "What else is the situation? ”

Li Si said again: "Not long after the surrender of the Donghu troops, the army's heart is undecided, just now there is a horse to return, the Huns go south, if you attack our army's base camp at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Zhao Kuo thought deeply and said, "Yes! Now that the war is over, it's time to train these Donghu troops. ”

Li Si said: "What worries Weichen the most is that the grain and grass have been urgent, the supplies transported from the consortium with the army have been exhausted after repeated fierce battles, although there are a lot of cattle and sheep captured from the tribe, but it is also a drop in the bucket, Weichen has calculated, if you want to survive this winter, at least half of the grain and grass are missing." ”

"It's not like it was now!" Mao Sui said, "At the beginning, His Majesty had no more than 30,000 soldiers, and there will be less than ten soldiers, except for a few thousand veterans, not a single old, young, women and children; Now His Majesty has no less than 40,000 people wearing armor, plus the old, the young, women, children and slaves, more than 100,000 people, and the daily consumption is very huge, and the little family wealth that Your Majesty has accumulated before is not enough to support it! ”

Zhao Kuo was shocked when he heard this, and then he remembered that since he subdued the Donghu tribes, the population under his rule had reached more than 200,000, and Zhao Kuo was really a little uncomfortable at the thought of being in charge of the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of so many people.

"Grain and grass are a real problem." Zhao Kuoyu's eyebrows frowned, his eyes swept over Mao Sui and Li Si, and asked, "Do you have a good plan for the two Aiqing?" ”

Li Si said: "There is nothing to offer. ”

Mao Sui's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of viciousness, and he said to Zhao Kuo: "Your Majesty, Mao Sui has a plan." ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Speak." Zhao Kuo saw the fierceness in Mao Sui's eyes, and had an ominous premonition.

Mao Sui said: "If you want to alleviate the crisis of grain and grass, there are only two ways, one is to raise grain and grass, and the other is to save expenses, and it is too late to raise grain and grass." Mao Sui said in a condensed voice, "Then we can only start by saving expenses." ”

"Savings?" Li Si was puzzled, "How to save?" You can't make everyone disappear into thin air! ”

Mao Sui smiled sadly and said, "That's right, it's to let some useless people disappear out of thin air." ”

Li Si was shocked when he heard this, and said in a speech: "How is this a good ......?"

"There are too many people who waste rations under Your Majesty's rule, especially the Donghu tribe that has just surrendered, although there are 15,000 people who control the strings, but there are more than 40,000 old and young women and children, it is really too much, if there is no such group of old and young women and children, our army can save at least half of the rations, just enough to survive this winter."

Li Si heard the cold air on his back, and his expression was awe-inspiring, such a ruthless and poisonous plan against heaven and harmony could be imagined, and suddenly, Li Si shivered excitedly, and looked back at Zhao Kuo, will Zhao Kuo agree to Mao Sui's suggestion? Li Si took a breath of cold air and solemnly persuaded: "Your Majesty, once this kind of thing spreads, it will have a great impact on Your Majesty's popularity!" ”

The muscles on the side of Mao Sui's cheeks twitched slightly, his face looked particularly gloomy, and he said in a condensed voice: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, so why should they follow the kindness of that woman?" ”

Li Si hurriedly said: "But after all, that's more than 40,000 lives!" How to get started! ”

Mao Sui said: "Your Majesty, this method can not only save our army's food and grass expenses, but also provoke the Donghu people to take revenge on the Xiongnu, if Your Majesty is induced to use it, you can quench a loyal and brave tiger and wolf army through the crusade against the Xiongnu, it can be said that you can kill two birds with one stone, and at that time you don't have to worry about the Donghu soldiers will turn back." ”

"This ......" Zhao Kuo said lightly, neither objecting nor explicitly adopting Mao Sui's suggestion.

"The Huns are determined to be the enemy of the Great Shang Dynasty, and our army can just use the hands of the Huns." Mao Sui's eyes flashed a treacherous smile like a fox, and he had already faintly figured out Zhao Kuo's thoughts, destroying Donghu, the next target of the Great Shang Dynasty was the Xiongnu, only by destroying the Xiongnu, the Great Shang Dynasty could be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the north, and only then could it have the spare strength to go south and annex the Central Plains.

In Lin Hu's hometown, amid the incessant sound of trumpets and suffocating war drums, groups of soldiers in armor and armor drove out of the barracks and marched into the school yard to line up.

The dark and cold iron armor gathered into a churning black wave, and rows of sharp spears pierced the sky, like the fangs of wild beasts, making people daunting.

On the parade platform in the school field, King Donghu was firmly tied to the cross, his head hung weakly on one side, and his eyes were blank. A bloody scab condensed at the corner of King Donghu's mouth, and when his lips moved, there were still red blood streaks slipping from the corners of his mouth.

A horse galloped like the wind, rushed to the parade platform and began to pull the reins of the horse fiercely, the sturdy mount suddenly stood up, raised his head and let out a loud long hiss, two huge iron hooves kicked in the air, Zhao Kuo rode majestically on the back of the lightning, and the hunting wind swept up the black cloak behind him, crackling.

The iron hooves in the air stomped down fiercely, slamming heavily on the cold ground, making a dull loud noise, just like a death knell striking the heart of the king of Donghu, the king of Donghu raised his head weakly, and his scattered eyes saw the devil's majestic, beast-like wild back through the messy hair.

"Squeak......" In the crisp sound of stepping on the snow, Zhao Kuo slowly climbed onto the parade platform under the escort of Mao Sui, Li Si, Zhao Xin, and Pomegranate generals. Let's look at the first release, please support genuine reading, support the author's creation, your one light click, warm my whole code word life. ”

The blowing north wind waved the big flag on the parade platform, and the agitated flag kept slapping Zhao Kuo's cold face, as if in response to Zhao Kuo, and the soldiers of the three armies under the parade platform were instantly incited by Zhao Kuo's actions to incite the hatred in their hearts, and they all shouted hoarsely: "Kill him......"

The loud trumpets of the soldiers resounded in the sky, and while shouting, the spears in their hands suddenly made a uniform impact sound, as solemn as a sacrifice, and the suffocating murderous aura was stirring and rolling over the school field, and it lasted for a long time.

Zhao Kuo raised his arms leisurely, a palpitating chill passed through his eyes, and the soldiers of the three armies under the solemn parade platform were suddenly silenced, and the loud and agitated shouts stopped abruptly as if they had been cut off with a knife, but the eyes of thousands of double killers instantly focused on Zhao Kuo.

In a burst of Qingyue's gold and iron grinding sound, Zhao Kuo slowly pulled out the sword at his waist, at this time, the dark clouds dispersed, the afterglow of the remnant sun shone on the cold blade, and the cold reflection stabbed the face of King Donghu, King Donghu's face was dead ash, and his cracked lips were constantly snorting, but he was forever speechless.

Zhao Kuo took a step forward suddenly, grabbed the head of the king of Donghu with one hand and lifted it vigorously, the head of the king of Donghu was easily lifted, and saw a flash of cold light, the sword in Zhao Kuo's hand was already across the neck of the king of Donghu, and suddenly, the right hand of the king of Donghu was gently pulled.

In the piercing sound of the sharp blade cutting through the flesh, the neck of the king of Donghu was cut open in an instant, revealing a deep blood groove, and the white flesh and skin burst open like an open fish mouth, but soon, the hot blood splashed out from the open wound one by one, with the loss of blood, the eyes of the king of Donghu slowly dimmed, and then, the soldiers of the Donghu nationality took turns to take the stage, and each of them would leave a mark for the king of Donghu, as if this was their name to Zhao Kuo and the Great Shang Dynasty, only in this way, in order to make the people of the Great Shang Dynasty believe in them......
