The ancestor outside Xiangyuan City was relieved to learn the news of Liu Cong's refusal to surrender, in his opinion, the Xiangyuan defenders were already in the bag, and no matter how the other party jumped, it was impossible to escape from the Jin army's Wuzhi Mountain. Not only the defenders of Xiangyuan, but also the Huns in the entire Bingzhou region, Zu Ti is no longer as worried as before.

The campaign to regain Shangdang is progressing well. Whether it was Liu Yao's troops in Xihe or Shile's troops in Xinxing County, they did not dare to make any changes at all under the deterrence of the Jin army.

Now the Huns in the party have become grasshoppers after the autumn, if Liu Cong chooses to surrender, it makes Zu Li a little overwhelmed, according to the previous emperor's secret decree, but he is required to kill the Hun nobles.

After rejecting the Jin army's persuasion to surrender, Liu Cong should then consider how to defend Xiangyuan. However, Liu Cong also knew that Xiangyuan could not stop the Jin army by normal means alone, so he was ready to take some extreme measures, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.

In order to reach the Jin army for a longer period of time, Liu Cong ordered the Huns in the city to start going door to door to pull up the ordinary civilians in the city and detain them, and threaten the Jin troops outside the city. If they dare to use heavy artillery to siege the city. The Huns will definitely kill the Han people in the city before they are wiped out.

In the past, there were at least 80,000 ordinary Han Chinese in the entire Xiangyuan City, and except for a small number who fled to inaccessible places before the war, at least 50,000 are now in the hands of the Hu people. When they learned that Liu Cong threatened the Jin army with the Han people, the Jin army outside Xiangyuan City was full of righteous indignation.

"Tell us what we're going to do next?" Zu Ti looked at the many subordinates and asked with a frown. Liu Cong's hand completely destroyed the previous combat deployment of the Jin army.

"General, what else is there to say about this? Slaughtered into Jinyang City and slaughtered all the Hu people inside. One of the lieutenants replied angrily.

"Bastard! In this way, will the Han people in the city suffer? ”

"Then we can't let the Hu people threaten us, if the Hu people use this to threaten us in the future, then do we have to compromise with the Hu people every time? How can there be immortals in war, as long as we retaliate against the Hu people with strong means this time, then I believe that there will be no Hu people who dare to threaten us like this in the future! ”

"No, the price is too great, that's tens of thousands of Han people. In case we really die at the hands of the Hu people because of me and others, even if we take Xiangyuan. I will feel uneasy in the future. Ben will look at this matter or let the court decide! ”

After intense consultations. Zu Ti immediately suspended his plan to attack Xiangyuan, and quickly reported the matter to the emperor Sima Shu in the rear with an expedited 800 li. When this news was reported to Sima Shu layer by layer, a fierce light flashed in Sima Shu's eyes, and he remembered the hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people who had died unjustly in history.

In the end, Sima Shu ignored the dissuasion of some cabinet ministers. It was decided to give the Hu people the most resolute response. He immediately announced to the world through his cabinet that if the Hu alliance did not prevent Liu Cong, the Xiongnu general who had been blocked by the Jin army, from massacring the Han people. Then Sima Shu will issue an order to slaughter Hu, and once the Northern Expeditionary Army composed of 300,000 Jin troops enters the territory of the Hu people, it will launch a retaliatory massacre against all the Hu people in the north!

At the same time, in order to deter the Hu people. Sima Shu personally ordered the 200,000 Hu people currently captured by the Jin army to be taken to various parts of the front line, and directly slaughtered in front of all Hu people. At the same time, Sima Shu said in this will of the world that in the future, if the Hu people dare to slaughter our Han people, the Jin army will retaliate a hundredfold!

Sima Shu's declaration directly detonated the whole world, and everyone was shocked by the tyrannical declaration of the Great Jin Emperor. Even the Great Jin Dynasty has been affected a lot, and some of the thoughts that were once hidden in the depths of their hearts have involuntarily emerged after a few years of recuperation.

Some families even wanted to take away some of the power from Sima Shu again, but when this manifesto was made public, these families immediately became honest. At this time, everyone remembered that Sima Shu was a real emperor, who had led his troops to quell the chaos in Guanzhong, and personally killed the two vassal kings, but he was worthy of the name of ruthlessness.

It's just that in the past few years, Sima Shu has been busy restoring the economy of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it seems that everyone has forgotten that he once personally ordered the massacre of tens of thousands of Hu people. And this time, after Sima Shu's declaration was made public, it was only after the whole Jin Dynasty reacted that the ruthless Sima Shu was back, and this time it was even more tyrannical than before.

Sima Shu knew very well that in the past, the Hu people used to ignore the style of the Han people, and every time the Hu people invaded the south, they always slaughtered our Han people, and if they did not give some strong responses this time, the Hu people who took advantage of them in the future would definitely follow the script and stop the Jin army's attack by threatening the civilians.

If you change to someone else, you will either treat this matter as if you don't know it and attack it anyway; Either they could only accept the threat of the Huns and slow down the siege.

Sima Shu would not use these two conventional solutions, and in his opinion, only the way of blood for blood and tooth for tooth was enough for Hu Ren to clearly understand. Their practice of not treating the Han people as human beings will only cause the Han people to retaliate more frantically. In the future, if the Hu people dare to play such inferior threats, they will have to think twice about whether they can bear the consequences of this.

Since the Xiongnu occupied the state, in order to fight against the increasingly powerful court of the Great Jin Dynasty, they increased their raids on the state, and in just five years, the Han people in the state have dropped from one million to less than 600,000. The total population of the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu and the two major Hu people has reached millions, and those Hu people are not engaged in agricultural production in the first place, and have to aggressively oppress the Han people in order to support themselves.

If Liu Yuan didn't want the Huns to exterminate the clan, he had to restrain his son. After learning of Sima Shu's personal order to slaughter the Hu, he immediately asked his subordinates to inform the generals everywhere that they must stop oppressing the Han people at great speed, especially Liu Cong, who demanded that he immediately release the Han people in the city in a stern tone.

When Sima Shu's will was conveyed to Shangdang at a very fast speed, Zu Ti immediately escorted 100,000 Huns in his hands to Xiangyuan City. At this time, Liu Cong was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, on the one hand, the most severe declaration of revenge issued by the Great Jin Emperor, and on the other hand, the opportunity to hold Xiangyuan.

"Major General, Major General, it's not good, you go and take a look, the outside of the city is full of our Huns." A Hun general stumbled in.

"What's going on?" Liu Cong asked impatiently.

"Major General, the Jin army is slaughtering our Huns outside the city, and they also swear that if anyone in our city dares to kill a Han people, they will not only slaughter 100,000 Huns outside the city, but also slaughter the local Huns every time they conquer in the future. And we don't want to have a chance to live! Go and take a look, Major General, the mood of everyone in the city is very unstable now, especially after the Jin army issued a declaration of revenge, and the entire army is on the verge of collapse. The visitor replied with a sad face.

Liu Cong's face changed greatly when he heard this, and when he refused the persuasion of the Jin army, he just wanted to rely on the tens of thousands of Han people in the city. Liu Cong asked himself the emperor who knew the Jin people very well, judging from Sima Shu's series of governance methods over the years, the other party attached great importance to ordinary people, especially the lives of the Han people, he wanted to use tens of thousands of Han people to blackmail the other party, but he did not expect to be controlled by the other party.

"Let's go, take Ben to have a look!"

Soon Liu Cong walked on the city wall, raised his eyes, and sure enough, under the city of Xiangyuan, there were all Huns, and around the Huns, there was a group of Jin troops with loaded guns and ammunition. More than 100,000 Xiongnu men, women and children cried under the city, while the Jin army 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 Han army that often shows favors to the Hu people? With such a group of Han Chinese troops who have turned from dogs to wild wolves, coupled with the command of a wolf king like Sima Shu, will there be room for the Hu people to survive in the future?

"Ahh Spare your life! ”

"Han grandfather, spare your life!"

"My lord, I've never killed a Jin person! Don't kill me! ”

"Son, my son!"

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

Tens of thousands of Huns knelt between heaven and earth and begged for mercy from the surrounding Jin army, and some soft-hearted soldiers couldn't help but turn their heads. A soldier couldn't hold back a few steps and walked in front of Zu Li and said, "General, what do these Huns have to do with Liu Cong?" Isn't that a bit too much? ”

"Excessive?!" Without waiting for Zu Ti to answer, Yao Gezhong, who was on the side, snorted coldly and retorted: "Don't forget, how many Han people have been slaughtered by the Hu people in the past few hundred years, this is just for us to get back a little interest!" ”

In fact, this scene was not only staged in Shangdang, from the Hexi Corridor to the Liaodong Peninsula, hundreds of thousands of Hu people were slaughtered by the Jin army in front of Hu people everywhere, especially the Xianbei people in Youzhou, who have done a lot of evil in Youzhou in recent years. Since the Jin army launched the Battle of Youzhou, the Yuwen tribe has lost thousands of soldiers and captured more than 10,000 people, and even this 10,000 people have been slaughtered by the Jin army in front of Yuwen Mogui.

This round of revenge set off by the Jin army soon swept the entire northern land. Among them, nearly 100,000 people were slaughtered by the Xianbei of Hexi, Duan, and Yuwen, and the most ruthless Huns were slaughtered by the Jin army at once, and more than 200,000 people were slaughtered. Only the Qiang people moved their tribesmen to Yanmen in advance, thus escaping this round of massacre and revenge.

The massacre and revenge set off by the Jin emperor himself greatly shocked the Hu people of all tribes. By this time, they had finally come to their senses, and the Han people of today were no longer the Han people they used to be, they had completely turned into wolves. Faced with an increasingly declining situation, the Hu people of all departments had to worry about being counterattacked by the Jin army in the future. (To be continued......)
