Chapter 449: Reaper of Life
Looking at the mule and horse team walking around, Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly. At the beginning, many people were very reluctant to encourage the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce to participate in the suppression of the Yue people, including Cui Jiuming. But in just three days in Minyue Wangcheng, everyone's attitude has undergone earth-shaking changes, just look at those mules and horses one by one camel heavier than their weight of goods, this trip back has no other way but to die of exhaustion, you know how much profit you can get.
Cui Jiuming's horses were also given up to camel things, so the big fat man could only walk back on foot. Holding Su Ren's hand, Cui Jiuming shook the fat all over his body: "Ziheng, please this time, if you can resist for a while, we can go a little farther, and we must not let the Yue people catch up." ”
Su Ren said with a smile: "It's useless to talk to me, you should go to Li Sima, he is the front line that blocks the Yue people from getting closer to you, they only have two thousand soldiers and horses, I don't know how long they can last." ”
"Ahh You didn't say it earlier! Throw away Su Ren and quickly chase after his team, that fat body is extremely cumbersome.
Hawking looked into the distance: "Big brother, Shi Bao can't do it, he only gave him 1,000 people, and those prisoners and people are 20,000, not including catching some more along the way, if those Yue people make trouble, a thousand people may be difficult to deal with." ”
Han Shuo nodded: "The little general is right, we are just attracting Yue people this time, so we can send more people to Shi Bao." ”
"It's okay, the Yue people have been scared by us, there won't be any chaos, even if Shi Bao knows how to deal with something, don't those caravans still have some guards? You should worry about our business, it won't be long before the army of Wuzhu will return, and you can get ready?" ”
Hawking said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, everything is arranged, I'm afraid that everything will come back!" ”
"That's good, let's do it!"
At the sound of an order, a group of cavalry with torches rushed into the Minyue royal city. There was not much time, and the fire appeared. Although the air is humid, but after the construction of Minyue Wangcheng for so many years, the nearby vegetation has almost been cut down, and no matter how humid the air is, it will drop by three points here. Above the flames was billowing black smoke rising into the sky, which could be seen clearly from more than a dozen miles away.
Su Ren sighed: "Back then, Xiang Yu burned Afang Palace, everyone in the world said that Xiang Yu did a wrong thing for the ages, today we burned the Minyue Royal City, and I don't know if future generations will say that I, Su Ren, destroyed the foundation of the Yue people?" ”
Han said: "Changshi This is a complete break from the Yue people's thoughts, let them live well in our Han Dynasty, how can Xiang Yu compare?" ”
Su Ren smiled bitterly: "It's all the same, it's just that Xiang Yu has broken the heart of the people in the world who want to be the king and hegemon, I don't have the courage of King Xiang, I can only break the hearts of the people." ”
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the entire royal city was enveloped in a sea of fire. The direction of the wind changed, and the choking smell of smoke wafted towards Su Ren's side. Several people hurriedly turned their horses' heads and ran into the distance. Although this fire cannot be burned for three days and three nights, it will at least be reduced tomorrow morning, and the time of one day and one night will be enough to burn this place to the ground.
Yu Shan rode a horse and chatted with the prime minister while walking, surrounded by everyone. Turning his head and glancing at the inconspicuous carriage behind him, it was Minyue Wang Wuzhu lying inside. From that day on, Wuzhu didn't say a word again, his eyes were open all day long, and he was alive rather than dead. The servant girl drank water when she gave it, and she didn't make a sound if she didn't drink it all day.
"Prime Minister, don't you think your father's health is better? I don't seem to have heard any cough lately? ”
The prime minister also glanced back, smiled and shook his head: "It's hard to say, heart death is actually more painful." ”
Someone with sharp eyes saw the black smoke in front of him reaching the sky from a distance, and shouted in panic: "Look, what's going on over there?" ”
Soon, the Pioneer Battalion sent someone to report. The place where the fire caught fire was the royal city, and the black smoke came from the royal city. Wu Zhuyi slapped on the thigh: "Damn, Han people are hateful!" Order, speed up, and make sure to get to the royal city before dark! ”
The prime minister closed his eyes: "The Han people are so ruthless!" This is to cut off the roots of our Minyue people! ”
What do you mean by that? As long as Prince Ben defeats the Han people and regains the royal city and the people, we will still be the Minyue Kingdom. ”
"It's not that simple!" The minister sighed: "The royal city is built by the king exhausted Minyue, it is the symbol of Minyue, now the royal city is destroyed, and the Minyue country no longer exists, even if we recapture the royal city, what is the difference, the hearts of the people are also dead, any small country can defeat us, why do the Han people?" ”
"This prince still has tens of thousands of troops, could it be that they are all muddy?"
"Prince, if the old minister is not bad, the Han people must have been prepared, and if we go in such a hurry, we will fall for the tricks of the Han people."
"What then? If you don't take revenge, the people and the royal city don't want it? ”
The minister shook his head: "The minister means to change the course immediately, find another place, recuperate, and wait until the world changes greatly to learn from the ancestors, so there is still a glimmer of hope." ”
"You! What kind of bastard talk is this? The ancestors were forced by the situation back then, and now the Han people have few soldiers, why can't they fight? ”
"Prince!"
"This prince has made up his mind, and he will let the Han people pay for their blood debts and blood, and he will never last to breathe!"
Without all the horses, he left the prime minister and sighed.
Su Ren felt that fresh lychees were very good, and he had long forgotten the warning that he could not eat more. For three days, he had almost eaten up the lychee tree. The flesh is plump, tender and juicy, and it is sweet and fragrant in the mouth. In front of him, there are a lot of all Hawking just picked in the afternoon, the leaves are green, the lychees are red, the more I look at it, the more I like it, and the more I like it, the more I can't stop it.
After eating one, resisting the urge to take it again, Su Ren waved his hand: "Lao Huang, take it quickly, I still want to eat it if I don't take it away, it's no good to eat too much of this thing!" ”
Huang 13 picked up the plate and threw it out the door. Su Ren was dumbfounded: "You, you just deal with it like this?" ”
Huang 13 nodded: "If you don't eat it, throw it away, it's not like nothing!" ”
"Hey! Spoil the good stuff. ”
"It's you who said you won't eat, don't let you see it."
"Okay, I can't tell you clearly, hurry up and clean up, don't let Xiao Jinzi see it, or he will be angry."
As he was talking, Hawking came, looked at the lychees all over the yard, and frowned: "Who?" The master worked hard to get it, don't throw it away if you don't eat it! ”
Su Ren hurriedly gave Huang Shisan a look, and shouted outside the door: "Little Jinzi, what did Captain Han ask you to do?" Is it coming from the Yue people? ”
Hawking came in with a bunch of lychees that had been thrown out, and said while eating: "Hmm! The scouts have already inquired about it, and they are hurrying over to see that we have burned the royal city, and it is expected that it will arrive at dusk today. ”
Su Ren nodded: "Are you ready?" ”
Hawking smiled: "Don't worry, big brother, everything is ready, and those guys will drink a pot." ”
"How many people are coming? But all? ”
Hawking shook his head and said: "About 10,000 people, the rest are missing, Captain Han guessed that they went to Crouching Tiger Ridge." ”
"That's right, if you want to intercept the people who were plundered by us, it is most convenient to pass through Crouching Tiger Ridge, if Brother Li can block the Yue people for two days, Lao Cui and them will be able to pass smoothly, but their number is too small, so they can't rest assured."
"I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to Brother Wei, and I will be able to arrive tomorrow night at the latest, as long as Brother Li insists on it for one day, it shouldn't be a problem."
"It's up to me to see if the West Fight will take the opportunity to intervene! The king of Xizhu is a revenge master, if he can give the Minyue people a look from behind, our chances of victory are greater. Su Ren took a sip of water: "Don't eat, hurry back and prepare, no matter whether the West Fight comes or not, let's do our own thing, your task is not to drag down the Wuzhu army, but to annihilate, let's be smaller than others, learn more from Captain Han." ”
Hawking nodded, threw down half a bunch of lychees, and wiped his hands on his clothes: "Got it!" As soon as he walked out of the door, he turned around and looked at Huang Shisan: "Old Huang, next time the eldest brother wants to pick lychees, you climb the tree, and the young master has made so much effort to let you waste it like this?" ”
"Hurry up, don't care about Lao Huang's business, I threw it!"
Yu Shanqin led the army to gallop all the way, and when he was about to arrive at the royal city, the sky was gradually getting dark. The roving rangers who were squiring around sent the news back one after another. No Han Chinese troops were found around the royal city, and the royal city was like a dead city, without the slightest anger. Yu Shan was overjoyed and ordered the cavalry of the vanguard battalion to be deployed immediately, and they must rush to the foot of the royal city before dark.
Hawking lay in the grass, holding a weed, enduring the mosquitoes flying in the sky, looking at the teams of cavalry passing in front of him, eager to rush out now to kill. Han Shuo's hand was always on Hawking's shoulder, in case this kid suddenly broke out and ruined his plan.
After the cavalry is over, it is the Chinese army. The team of more than 10,000 people continued to go on and on, and it didn't finish for half a day. Hawking gritted his teeth: "Captain Han, is it okay?" ”
Han Shuo shook his head: "Wait, did you see that carriage?" As soon as the explosion stops, your mission is to rush over and get the people inside! ”
"Who could that broken carriage be?"
Han said with a smile: "Although the carriage is broken, there are a lot of guards, it should be Wuzhu!" ”
Hawking nodded: "Understand, you can rest assured!" ”
The more people came down the slope, the faster they went, and the people in front of them slowed down, so there was congestion. Ten thousand soldiers and horses were huddled together within a radius of only a hundred paces. Han Shuo slowly raised his arm and fell suddenly. The soldiers on the side kept staring at Han Shuo's movements, and when Han Shuo's arm fell, the flint sparked and ignited the medicine twist beside him.
"Sneer......" A long series of sounds spread.
Wuzhu seemed to smell something, his nose twitched twice, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly said to the maidservant beside him: "Don't be afraid, everything will pass." ”
"Boom! Boom! ……”
A series of explosions exploded in the crowd of Vietnamese soldiers, and the fast-moving stones and iron blocks were fan-shaped. One after the other, they blew up from east to west. Within a radius of 100 paces, there were a hundred sounds. The explosion came suddenly, the sound shook the sky, and the qi Lang rolled up with the soldiers and threw them high, and fell down heavily. Screams, shouts, and weeping. This is the Shura field, and it is hell.
