179. Expedition

>,!

Because he has not combed for many days, the beard is so messy, and there are some freshly grown hairy beards on the chin, but he does not look haggard, and he has not been sloppy after washing, he has taken off his armor and changed into a black robe, half lying down and half sitting on the straw pile, glaring at Deng Ji, without the slightest flinch and fear.

After a few days, Deng Ji was able to talk to Che Huang normally, and he was not too dirty, so he sat down cross-legged on the outside of the prison and faced him across the fence, so he said angrily: "You don't think you can't live with Lao Tzu?" ”

Che Huang looked away and sighed softly: "A little sorry"

"A little bit?" was provoked by his words again, Deng Ji suddenly said angrily: "What about the victims, the people in the county? ”

Che Xiao only sneered: "Born in troubled times, it is unfortunate, life and death are not up to me, and the apologies for them are only slightly more than yours."

Deng Ji turned his head to look at his face, didn't answer again, the prison was quiet for a while, and after a while, Che Huang couldn't hold back first, and asked strangely: "Why aren't you hot?" ”

"Alas!" Deng Ji sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that you have nothing else to ask for, just waiting for death!" ”

"Lao Tzu has been with the Heavenly Gong General, the Ren Gong General Yu Yigen and you Deng Pimple, abandoned the good and the thieves have been fighting and looting everywhere for nearly ten years, I don't know how many scars on the body, several times I have survived, it is a great luck to be able to live to this day, and there are hundreds of lives lost by my own hands, including good people and greedy people. When they are hungry, they eat grass roots, bark, snakes, insects, rats and ants for several months, and when they are hungry, they have to wear a single coat in winter; When he was proud, he also slept in silk and satin, and the good woman led thousands of elite soldiers, and the majesty was incomparable, and all the flavors of the world had been tasted, so how could he be afraid of death? ”

Che Huang said lightly, clearly putting on a face of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, which naturally tickled Deng Ji's teeth.

If you want to extinguish his arrogance, you have to let him have vitality and **, Deng Ji thought about it, and snorted coldly: "If you don't want to live, I'm still worried about whether I will let you get involved if you send troops to seek revenge."

"Why are you deceiving people in the dark room?" Che Huang shook his head and expressed disbelief: "Yuan Shao is powerful and Lu Bu is attached to Fuluo, Henan has been hit hard by this, and it is good that the remaining soldiers can defend the land, how can they seek revenge?" ”

Some things that I thought of in the field, Deng Ji didn't even tell Tian Feng, and at this time he said it from Che Huang didn't believe it, so he couldn't help but explain slightly: "Henan soldiers have been defeated by you, and there are many strong beams around.

Che Huang finally turned his gaze back to Deng Ji, blinked a few times, and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he smiled bitterly: "I'm just an old man, I don't know if it's appropriate for you to send troops to take revenge and deter strong neighbors, but if you send troops to Jizhou again, it will be difficult to defeat Yuan Benchu with few people, and Henan will be in danger if there are many people, and it is not feasible."

"Who said I want to send troops to Jizhou?" To his surprise, Deng Ji gritted his teeth and said: "The revenge of the five thousand soldiers who killed me must be avenged, Yuan Shao is more powerful than Fu Luo Lubu attached to him, it is difficult to plan for a while, but it can also find another way to damage its foundation." Yuan Benchu Ye City was difficult to attack again, Lu Feng was a rootless duckweed first, and the rest of Yu Luo was a family owner"

Che Huang is not a fool, hearing him say this, he suddenly asked in shock: "And the state?" ”

Deng Ji proudly "haha...... laughed twice: "Yes, although Gao Gan is called the history of the state thorn, the land he occupies is actually only the four counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yanmen, Dingxiang, and the rest of the counties in the west of the Hetao, Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong are all the places where the Huns live in peace." ”

Che Huang looked at him blankly, the light in the prison was not good, but he relied on a few oil lamps on the surrounding walls to illuminate it, but he could also see the hideousness on Deng Ji's face: "Under the natural disaster, the population of the Xiongnu is very small, there can be thirty or forty thousand households to the top, the tribes are scattered, but the strong but more follow Yu Luo in Jizhou, its land can be described as extremely empty, just start to take revenge"

After a pause, after Che Huang digested the contents, Deng Ji continued: "Yuan Shao and Lu Bu conspired with Yufuluo to kill my five thousand soldiers, he can't wait lightly, Lao Tzu slowly looked at the opportunity, caught the gap, and bit them to death one by one!" Lao Tzu has to let the surrounding strong beams know that Henan will be repaid, if there is no desperate heart, it is better not to provoke lightly"

The stout man in the prison was breathing a lot heavier in his nose at this time: "How many soldiers and horses do you want to send?" Who is in the lead? ”

Seeing that he had successfully fished his appetite, Deng Ji calmed down and said slowly: "The blood feud of the Dangkou army can only be reported by the Dangkou army, and the two thousand and five remnants of the army should be enough for the Huns to be scattered and weak!" I won't send another one to help."

Che Huang blurted out: "I'm going"

"Think of beauty" to show off, it is nothing more than to hit this guy hard, Deng Ji refused, and said: "You disobeyed the military order, causing me to suffer a big injury to my vitality in Henan, and I am a serious crime, how can I go?" ”

Both hands forwarded and grabbed the bars in front of him, and his fingers were a little white, Che Huang didn't care, and said angrily with red eyes: "I don't care, the head will be sent for the time being, if you want to punish the crime, you have to wait for me to go to Hetao, and slaughter the Hun dogs for the sons and daughters under his command!" ”

"Lao Tzu wants to spare you" The pent-up anger finally burst out at this time, Deng Ji also stepped forward and grabbed the bar, face to face, and yelled at him: "The family of the victims, the soldiers, the officials, who can allow you to command the troops again?" ”

Eating Deng Ji's roar, Che Huang actually shrank back, sat dumbfounded, and listened to Deng Ji continue to roar: "You are bold and arrogant, and you will eventually disobey the army and lose most of it. Killing you alone will not remove the sin."

Just a few words to vent his anger, Deng Ji's chest had risen and fallen violently: "In such a situation, how can I let you go?" ”

Two lines of tears finally slipped out of the corners of Che Huang's eyes, and after a long time, he choked up and said: "I don't want to command the army, so I will be a pawn, and I will definitely go with the army to kill the dog!" When you return from the first battle, you can kill it."

"What more can you do about such a great sin?"

Che Huang hurriedly said: "You are the lord, open your mouth and let me go, who dares to say anything?" ”

"Nonsense! Can I do my own against the wishes of the county? Is there such a lord in the world? Deng Ji was angry and said, "Do you remember that I am the lord?" How could he really treat Lao Tzu as the lord on weekdays? ”

Che Huang didn't dare to fight back, and when Deng Ji stopped, he said cautiously: "After this defeat, Che Huang knows that his family is not the one who can lead the army alone, and you give Xu Gongming the leader of the Dangkou Army, if anyone is not convinced, I will clean it up for you!" However, this time you sent troops to merge with the state, you have to think of ways to appease the people, and you will definitely let me go with the army, so you will only repay half of the grudge, and you will come back and cut off my head, and there will be no resentment."

After some catharsis, Deng Ji's mood has calmed down a lot, and when he heard this, he suddenly said angrily: "You caused a big disaster, but you want Lao Tzu to bother?" ”

Hearing that he was not so dead, Che Huang stopped talking, just stared.

After all, he couldn't really ask for his life, Deng Ji said: "How to put the current things in the future?" Now you should be punished, I will first remove you from your official position, demote you to a brave soldier, and punish you with a hundred sticks, and write down the rest of your sins for the time being; However, whether you are dead or alive after all, whether you can go to the Hetao with the army or not, you have to listen to the people."

It was the first time he had heard such a statement, and Che Huangqi asked, "Listen to the people?" ”

Deng Ji closed his eyes and said slowly: "After today, I will order the county officials to inform the people that at noon in the next three days, you will be tortured on the campus in the east of Luoyang, and the families of the victims are specially invited to watch. If there is still anyone who does not obey, and will not be willing to take your life in the end, you will be considered to have atonement."

This way is incredible, Che Huang suddenly opened his mouth wide, and the accident is inevitably too big, the home of more than 5,000 victims, any one is unwilling, and the woman has a sickle in the hand of the old man, and he can kill a random person.

But this time, the families of the victims have always had to face the crime, as long as they can get through it safely after three days, the people's grievances should be eliminated! It's also a one-and-done approach.

I can't live with others, so I was taken by them, and I should only pay for my life!

"Well, that's it"

Thinking about it carefully, Che Huang responded in one bite.

"And the state of the Huns?"

After confirming the news from the disciple, Tian Feng asked in surprise, "How can I go to the land lightly?" Aren't you afraid of the plague? ”

In this era, the name of the plague is undoubtedly very scary, talking about the tiger changing color, hearing Tian Feng suddenly say this, Deng Ji's face also changed: "There is still a plague in the Hetao?" ”

Tian Feng stomped his feet and said urgently: "Don't you know, if a foreign enemy invades, there must be a sorcerer in the Xiongnu tribe to make the plague harm people, how can you send troops and horses to enter lightly?" ”

There is an exact record in the history books that the sorcerers of the Xiongnu tribe buried the dead cattle and horses in the ground, and some poisons polluted the water source, which once infected the Han army that invaded it, and most of the dead and wounded.

Some historians even believe that the frequent outbreaks of plague in the late Eastern Han Dynasty came from the conspiracy of the Huns, who relied on this to kill tens of millions of Han people, which was the world's earliest case of hurting people by biological viruses. Of course, there is no conclusive evidence for this statement, and it is difficult to stand on its feet, science and technology exhibition to this day, and I have not heard of the emergence of biological weapons in the world that only hurt the enemy and not hurt themselves and can be used on a large scale, but at that time, the notoriety of the Xiongnu witches was indeed far and wide, and the strange power was confused, but everyone had a nose and eyes, and the Han army that fought in the Xiongnu land also had a precedent for the whole army to be infected with the epidemic, and a wise man like Tian Feng felt that the horror was not outrageous.

Deng Ji is half a bottle of vinegar from later generations, and he doesn't know that those historians who hold the view that the Huns have biological viruses, and the blessing of atheism, after Tian Feng explained it, he was only half-convinced of the magic power of the witch.
