Chapter 990: The Greedy Huns
And the state, the northern part of Hedong County.
The morning sun rises in the east, and the small village at the foot of Huo Dashan is full of smoke as usual.
As soon as it was dawn, the villagers went out early, the men had to go to the fields for spring ploughing, the women stayed at home to weave, and the sturdy old people drove their sheep to the mountains to graze.
Little did they know that they had been targeted by hundreds of ferocious wolves.
On the high ground in the north of the village, King Zuo Xian called out to the high place of the spring, and was looking at the village from afar.
When he saw the hundreds of sheep, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a hideous sneer.
Since Yu Fuluo led the army to the south and entered the south, tens of thousands of Huns split up and looted.
Everything was as Jia Kui expected, the main force of the Wei army was concentrated on the Jinyang line, and the southern counties were relatively empty, and the county commanders in various places learned that the Huns were coming, so they could only close the gate of the county in a hurry, but they did not have time to move all the people in the surrounding countryside into the city.
And these villagers, who had no time to move in, naturally became the targets of burning, killing and looting by the Huns.
The village in front of him was already the sixth village that had been looted in two days at Huji Spring, and each one had gained a lot.
Taking a deep breath, Hu Jiquan pointed at the mace in his hand, and shouted: "Hun warriors, do you see it, there are countless cattle and sheep, and white women waiting for you, what are you waiting for, rob this king!" ”
When the order was laid, the Hun cavalry, who had been impatient for a long time, rushed down the hillside in a swarm and pounced on the quiet village like hungry beasts.
In the blink of an eye, the rolling iron cavalry arrived and crashed into the entrance of the village.
The villagers were taken by surprise and had no ability to resist at all, so they could only scream and run away with their heads in their hands, but how could they outrun the iron horsemen of the Huns.
In less than a quarter of an hour, nearly 100 men were killed, and the Huns did not even spare the children, and they were all killed.
With less than seventy young women and sons, the Huns left behind their lives and became their spoils of war, just like the cattle and sheep.
Cries, screams, and cries echoed over the village, and it was as if hell had descended on the village.
Hujiquan swaggered into the village, trampling on the corpses of male villagers, admiring the bloody scene of the killing in front of him with great interest.
The Hun cavalrymen, one by one, were excited, carrying grain bags, dragging cattle and sheep, driving away the weeping women, and coming in groups to offer the spoils of war to their Zuoxian King.
As the Zuoxian King of the Great Huns, Hujiquan is certainly qualified to be the first to choose the spoils of war, which is his prerogative.
Hujiquan is very generous today, and will take 30% of the cattle and sheep to himself, 40% to Yufuluo, and the remaining 40% to these Hun soldiers.
In addition to the grain, grass, cattle and sheep, the more than 70 women who were robbed, Hujiquan also personally selected more than a dozen beautiful ones for himself and Yu Fuluo, more than 30 were sent back to the Xiongnu headquarters as public property, and the remaining 20 or so women were all rewarded to the Xiongnu soldiers
For a time, the Hun soldiers were rewarded, and they were all thunderous and grateful.
With an order, the village was burned to the ground, and then he left happily with the rich booty.
The fire burned the entire village, along with the corpses of the villagers, into a sea of fire.
The Huns sang their mountain songs, talking and laughing all the way away.
That night, Hujiquan returned to the Xiongnu army camp located on the northern edge of Huoda Mountain.
When he returned to the camp, the other Hun cavalrymen who had gone out to loot also rushed back one after another, each with rich booty and weeping women.
Obviously, the Huns from all walks of life looted smoothly and reaped a lot of money.
The big order was in the tent, and Yu Fuluo was sitting on it, drinking mare's milk wine, listening to the roast mutton, listening to the looting reports of the generals, and his joy and pride hung on his face unabashedly.
Hu Jiquan entered the big tent and said proudly: "Da Dan Yu, I have robbed 3,000 sheep, 300 Wei women, 2,000 bags of grain and rice, and I won't say anything about other iron tools and the like." ”
Yu Fuluo's eyes were glowing with gold, and he laughed and said: "Okay, King Zuoxian, sure enough, you have the most ability, and you have the most grabbing, come, this is to reward you with a glass of wine." ”
Hujiquan was not polite, laughed, and took it and poured it all down.
Then, he looked at Jia Kui with the wine stains, and praised with a thumbs up: "I said Mr. Jia, this strategy of yours is really wonderful, the Wei people are really defenseless, I robbed more things this day than in the past in a whole month." ”
Jia Kui didn't know how to respond, so he could only laugh dryly, but a trace of bitterness quietly flashed between his eyebrows.
He is a native of Bingzhou, but now he is offering advice to the Huns, burning and looting are his own Bingzhou villagers, although he repeatedly comforted himself out of helplessness, but after all, it is not a glorious thing, and there is no way to make him proud.
At this moment, Youxian Wang Xingchong rushed in and arched his hand: "Da Dan Yu, good news, great good news, our scouts found the Wei army's grain transport team forty miles to the south, there are more than 1,000 grain trucks alone, and countless sheep, at least tens of thousands." ”
"Seriously!" Juvro jumped to his feet excitedly.
"Of course, there can be fakes, big orders, this is a windfall." Bu Gu licked his lips and said.
Yuvro's blood suddenly boiled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth.
A thousand grain carts, at least 100,000 stone of grain and grass, and more than 10,000 sheep, so much food, if he can grab it, it will be enough for his army to eat for a month or two!
"Big Order, what's there to hesitate about, the benefits of sending it to the door for nothing, don't grab it!" Hujiquan exclaimed excitedly.
For a while, the Hun generals in the tent were so excited that they all jumped up and shouted that they wanted to send troops to rob them.
Of course, there was no reason for Yuvro not to rob, and he wanted to give an order on the spot.
At this time, Jia Kui reminded: "Da Danyu, we have gone too far into Hedong County, and forty miles to the south, we are about to approach Linfen City, an important town in Hedong. ”
As soon as the words fell, Hu Jiquan said sarcastically: "I said Mr. Jia, this plan was made by you, why is such a large deal sent to the door now, but you are worried." ”
"Yes." Bu Dan also snorted disdainfully, "The army surnamed Su is still in Guanzhong, Zhang He's house is shrinking in Jinyang City and doesn't dare to come out, Hedong County is not letting us go sideways, don't say that it is forty miles deeper, even if we kill directly to the Yellow River, what can the Wei people do with us." ”
The king of the left and right Xian was sarcastic and refuted Jia Kui's wordlessness.
Yu Fuluo had no worries, and waved his hand happily: "Pass the order, raise the army tomorrow, and go with this order to rob the Wei army's food team!" ”
