Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 342 The End of the Road (II)
After entering the wax moon, even the Sichuan and Shu regions are getting colder and colder.
Especially since it has been raining lately, it is even more uncomfortable.
If it was placed in the past, in such weather, Mu Heng would have hugged the mink fur for a long time, sitting in the room with a fire and warm as spring, or reading a book, or talking, leisurely.
But now, he was also sitting, but he was sitting in a cramped, windy cage, pulled by horses, bumping on the rugged mountain road, his face pale from the cold, and shivering.
But the torment of his body was far from being able to compare to the impact on his heart, because he really couldn't believe that he had been on the way, let alone accept that Mu Shizhen had reached the end of his rope.
When facing his rhetorical question that day, Sun Ning only smiled disdainfully, and without arguing anymore, he waved his hand and asked people to take him out.
Obviously, he also saw Mu Heng's determination, and he was not completely discouraged by this defeat, and he couldn't make him surrender sincerely with a few threats, so he didn't bother to talk anymore.
However, Sun Ning did not kill him, but imprisoned him, and waited until a few days later to embark on the Northern Expedition, and then escorted him and the other captured barbarian leaders to the north.
Then, they saw an amazing scene, and along the way, this southern Sichuan coalition army never encountered any obstacles.
Whether it was the barbarian tribes who had occupied the city and stood on their own, or the barbarians who had been staying in the mountains and refused to change their customs, when the army crossed the border, they all came to see it and swore allegiance.
Those cities that can still fight are like Shunzhou City, where the army arrives, they quickly open the city and surrender, and not even a single arrow is released.
And many of these barbarian leaders who led their troops to surrender had been to Huayang before, and they had all sworn eternal allegiance to the Mu clan with all their words.
As a result, now, they have all become the knees of the Dayue Imperial Court, and they all behave extremely obediently, but they don't even look at themselves, the former leader who was tied up in the prison car, as if they don't recognize who he is at all.
If the barbarians south of Tongchuan or nearby made a move to retreat and surrender, Mu Heng could still reluctantly accept it—after all, the Mu clan's influence on these tribes was indeed not deep enough—but at this time, it was within the control of Huayang, but there were still various tribes coming to see it, and according to Sun Ning's intentions, it was to give people and food, and it was really difficult for him to accept it.
He really wanted to grab these patriarchs and ask loudly, are you all frightened, my Mu clan has only lost one game, and it is not yet time for the real dead clan, why are they all in a hurry to surrender to the Han people?
With such a mood, until he came to the most familiar Huayang City, and then the most fatal blow also hit him.
Huayang, or the familiar Huayang, the city, mountains and rivers are all old.
But the people are no longer those people, above the city, flying high are the banners of the snakes, the giant snakes embroidered on the flags, spitting long letters, like sharp arrows shot into his heart, completely destroyed Mu Heng's entire confidence, so that after a miserable scream, he fell down and fainted.
……
I don't know how long it took for Mu Heng to wake up from the boundless darkness.
Suddenly, I found that I could lie flat, and my whole body was warm, not at all like being attacked by wind and rain in a prison car.
It's as if everything before was just a nightmare, and now that I wake up, everything is in the past.
Yes, this is a nightmare, from the time the army attacks and goes south to rebel, everything is its own nightmare!
Mu Heng told himself so in his heart, and then slowly opened his eyes, and then this beautiful expectation came to naught.
He hadn't woken up from his customary bedroom bed, it was just a small tent, covered with a half-worn carpet, and not far away was a small dilapidated stove, not the bronze beast stove he used to use.
What's more, he was still chained, and he couldn't move at all, let alone take the opportunity to escape.
So he still became a captive, so everything before was real......
Just when Mu Heng was full of bitterness and had to accept the truth of all this, the curtain on the side was lifted, and a person walked in with a tray.
As soon as he woke up, he smiled: "Patriarch Mu can be regarded as awake......
"Where is this?" Mu Heng opened his mouth with difficulty and asked in a low voice.
"Here, it's naturally outside Huayang City, you've been dizzy for two days, and my army hasn't officially entered the city yet." The military doctor replied with a smile, and as he spoke, he helped Mu Heng get up and lean against the pillar, and handed the medicine bowl to him.
Now that everyone is awake, there is naturally no need to serve him anymore and feed him medicine.
Mu Heng, who took the medicine bowl, did not drink the black medicinal soup, but looked at the military doctor fixedly: "You are besieging Huayang?" ”
Sadly, this was his last expectation, even if Huayang, the most important city of his Mu clan, was besieged by a large army and was in danger.
But the doctor's answer shattered his expectations again: "Of course not." Huayang is no longer in the hands of your Mu clan, so the army has not settled in, but it needs to talk to the Ba clan who took this city one step earlier, and if the negotiation is completed, it will naturally enter. ”
It's true!
Mu Heng's heart suddenly tightened again, and his breathing became short, which turned out to be true.
But how is that possible?
The Ba clan was wiped out by the other tribes of Sichuan and Shu hundreds of years ago, even if there are still some remnants, it has long been out of the climate, why did it suddenly resurge, and it also knocked down the Huayang of the Mu clan?
Where did they get their soldiers and horses, and where did they get their courage? Aren't you afraid that you will be attacked by various tribes again until you are completely wiped out?
Looking at the other party's unbelievable look, the military doctor just smiled: "Anyway, everyone passed it on like this, and all the banners in the city are Ba Shi flags...... I also heard that they took advantage of your Mu clan's big move to the south and the loss of troops to steal into Huayang, and suddenly attacked, so that they could easily take Huayang.
"Who made you barbarians of all races look the same, and you can't guard against it at all? The heads of those stubborn Mu clan people are still hanging on the city wall. You drink the medicine, and when you can walk around, you can go out and see what you see. ”
Mu Heng is now devastated, how dare he look at any head, his body trembled violently, and as soon as the medicine bowl in his hand was tilted, all the decoction in it spilled out, pouring himself down.
But at this time, he couldn't care about these things at all, and there was only one thought left in his heart - it's over, this time it's really the end of the road.
It's not that he Mu Heng is at the end of his rope, but that the entire Sichuan Shu Mu clan is at the end of his rope!
