In order to jump off the wall in a hurry, Liu Cong actually ordered the Huns in Pingyang to start going door-to-door to pull up the ordinary Jin people in the city and detain them, and threaten the Jin army outside the city. If they do not withdraw from the siege, the Huns will kill all the Jin people in the city before they are wiped out.

Now there are still more than 80,000 Jin people in the entire Pingyang City, except for a small number of wealthy families, at least more than 50,000 ordinary Jin people have fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu. When they learned that the Huns threatened the people of Jin, the Liaodong army outside the city was full of righteous indignation and asked for war from Wei Shuo.

"Tell me, what should we do next?"

"Lord, please immediately order the siege of the city, the last general will definitely capture Liu Cong alive!"

"Lord, if you wait any longer, I'm afraid that the people of the city will suffer!"

"What else is there to say about this? Slaughter into the city and slaughter the Huns! ”

"No! In this way, won't the Jin people in the city suffer? ”

"Then you can't let the Hu people threaten you? Otherwise, if the Hu people threaten Liaodong according to this example in the future, do they want Hu Lu to compromise every time? On the contrary, only by counterattacking the Huns by strong means, let Hu Lu understand that such means are just in vain, and no Hu Lu will dare to threaten us like this in the future! ”

"No, that's tens of thousands of Jin people, how can you just give up?"

Pei Wei, Wen Qiao, Shao Yuniang, Beigong Chun and other Liaodong civil and military officials, there are many discussions, no one dares to make up their minds easily, this matter is too involved, no matter what the final result is, it is very likely to leave a stigma in history.

Only Wei Shuo on the main seat sat there steadily, not bothered by the predicament in front of him at all.

Wen Qiao glanced up at Wei Shuo, and said softly: "Lord Qiao Guan sat calmly, thinking that he had already made a decision in his chest!" ”

"Hehe, those who know me are too true!" Wei Shuo laughed loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Hu Lu has come up with this clumsy plan. Apparently cornered. But if Liu Cong thinks that this will make me Liaodong tie his hands, then he will also think too highly of himself. Wei let Liu Cong know today what it means to kill yourself. ”

The next day, as expected by the outside world, the Liaodong Army stopped moving and retreated several miles. This scene made the Huns in the city inexplicably excited. He spared no effort to begin to implement the instructions to arrest Jin Min.

However, just as there was a lot of uproar in Pingyang City, a large number of ragged Huns began to appear outside the city, and the Hun generals defending the city were not aware of the situation, and they ran to the palace to report to Liu Cong.

Liu Congde's face changed, and he hurriedly rushed to the city wall with people, and looked up, sure enough, tens of thousands of Huns had gathered outside the city, and the number was still increasing. Around the Huns, there was a group of Jin troops armed with ring-headed swords, and tens of thousands of Huns, men, women and children cried under the city. The Jin army, on the other hand, ignored the miserable Hu people, and every once in a while thousands of Huns were dragged to kill, and now thousands of Hu people have been slaughtered in just a quarter of an hour.

Standing on the city wall, Liu Cong was shocked by the ruthless methods of the Jin army, is this still the Central Plains army full of benevolence and righteousness? Is this still the Jin army that often favors the Hu people?

"Ahh Spare your life! ”

"Spare my life, I've never killed a Jin person! Don't kill me! ”

"Son, my son!"

"Don't dare anymore, please let us go!"

"Your Majesty, Jin ...... What does Jin Jun mean? ”

"Humph! What else can you do. Presumably, it is to repay the other in the other way! ”

"Your Majesty is not good, the Jin army is slaughtering the Huns outside the city. The general of Zhenbei also sent a message that if the Huns in the city dared to kill a Jin people, Liaodong would not only slaughter tens of thousands of Huns outside the city. In addition, after conquering Pingyang, not a single one of the two million Huns in the entire state of Bingzhou will want to live! ”

"Your Majesty, think of a way! Because many of the families of the defenders were outside the city, the mood of the defenders was very unstable now. Especially after the Jin army issued a declaration of revenge, the entire army was on the verge of collapse. And I heard that in order to protect the Jin people, the Liuyi soldiers have had many clashes with the Xiongnu soldiers in the city. ”

"Why is it involved in Liuyi again?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, just now the Liaodong Army announced that Pingyang Hulu wants to live. Unless the safety of the Jin people in the city is protected, it is useless even if the Qiang people surrender. In order to survive, those Qiang soldiers did not hesitate to break out into fierce conflicts with our Hun soldiers. ”

Liu Cong's face changed greatly when he heard this, he didn't expect that the killer feature he thought of would be cocooned in the end. Rejecting the persuasion of the Jin army to surrender was nothing more than wanting to rely on tens of thousands of Han people in the city. Liu Cong asked himself very well about Wei Shuo, judging from a series of governance methods in Liaodong over the years, the other party values ordinary people very much, he originally wanted to use tens of thousands of Han people to blackmail the other party, but he didn't expect to be controlled by the other party.

As long as there is a slight loss of tens of thousands of Jin people in the city, Liaodong will kill all the two million Huns in the state to accompany them for burial! And after the city is broken, whether it is the Huns or the Qiang Hu people in the city, they will be retaliated by the Liaodong army a hundred times!

In order to show the determination of the Liaodong Army and deter the Hu people, Wei Shuo personally ordered that in front of Liu Cong and the Xiongnu noble generals, the 30,000 Huns who arrived in Pingyang in advance were killed.

In addition to Liu Cong, Liu Jing and other diehards, a small number of Huns who had never harmed the Jin people began to change their attitudes, and had to form an alliance with the Qiang ethnic groups to jointly protect the lives of the Jin people in the city.

Originally, he was shouting to arrest all the Jin people as hostages, but after some intimidation in Liaodong, many Xiongnu generals had to secretly entertain people with good food and drink and then let them go.

Things turned out as Wei Shuo expected, because he gave Hu Ren the most resolute response. As a result, the Hulu in the city were completely split into two parts, and Liu Cong had to order the release of all the Hulu. After this toss, the morale of the Hun defenders was even lowered.

Everything that happened in Pingyang once again detonated the whole world, and everyone was shocked by General Zhenbei's ruthlessness. All places have been affected by a lot of shocks, the impact of the Jicheng slaughter of Hu is gradually dissipating, and some Hu Lu seems to be ready to move again, but when everything that happened in Pingyang spreads, even Shi Le had to restrain his subordinates again and again.

Wei Shuo knew very well that the Hu people had always ignored the Jin people, and every time the Hu people invaded south, they always massacred civilians, and if they did not give a strong response this time, the Hu people who took advantage of it would definitely intensify their efforts in the future and stop the Liaodong attack by threatening the civilians.

Only by returning blood for blood and tooth for tooth can the Hu people clearly understand that their practice of not treating the Jin people as human beings will only cause more crazy revenge in Liaodong. In the future, if the Hu people dare to play such inferior threatening methods, they will have to think twice before thinking about whether they can bear the consequences of this.

Although Liu Cong had nearly 100,000 Jin people in his hands, Wei Shuo had 2 million Huns in his hands, and if Liu Cong didn't want the Huns to exterminate the clan, he had to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

In fact, Wei Shuo didn't know that after he forced him, the hardliners and compromisers in Pingyang City completely broke up. In order to survive, the compromise faction led by Qiao Yu quickly cooperated with the leaders of the Qiang tribes in the city and protected most of the Jin people.

And Liu Cong and Liu Jing were worried that the Qiao family would learn from the Huyan family, so they had to strike first, but unexpectedly, Jin Zhun betrayed Liu Cong again and told Qiao Yu all his plots. As a result, Qiao Yu, together with Jin Zhun and the leader of Diqiang, led the Diqiang soldiers to control the palace city, and opened the city gate to surrender to Liaodong.

When Liu Cong saw Jin Zhun leading his troops into the dormitory, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Jin Zhun, what are you doing here?" Who let you in? ”

"Humph! On the order of General Zhenbei, a certain person came to capture the thief chief! The corners of Jin Zhun's mouth showed a sneer.

"What?! What about Dazai? Where's the guard? Someone, someone! Liu Cong frantically shouted outside the hall, but unfortunately he broke his throat and no one responded.

"Liu Cong, I advise you not to waste your efforts! Lord Qiao had already opened the city gate and was welcoming the Liaodong army into the city, the entire palace was in the hands of the Qiang soldiers, and the rest of the guards had already been slaughtered. ”

"Bastard! I am the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom, how dare you betray me? ”

"Phew! What the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom is just a thief chieftain! Someone, arrest him! Remember, don't let him die, General Zhenbei will cut him and Liu Jing and others with a thousand knives! (To be continued.) )
