Chapter Seventy-Six: A Beautiful Boy
Late at night.
Several soldiers shrank under the city gate, looking at the head of Zhu Mingcheng who was hanged.
They also wanted to escape from the city with Zhu Mingcheng, if they hadn't seen that the situation was wrong and regretted it in time, they would have ended up with the same fate as Zhu Mingcheng.
But what if King Yunling is here? It was not the army of King Qi who came back, they had already heard the rumor, there were no reinforcements at all, only the hundred people brought by King Yunling bluffed.
When the Xiongnu came back to their senses and besieged the city again, they were still going to die, so it was better to escape from the city as originally planned.
Zhu Mingcheng died, but the secret passage out of the city that he had opened a few days ago was still there, and several people ran far away after successfully leaving the city, and when they stopped, they looked at each other and began to be dazed.
"If we return to our hometown like this, the military government will definitely find us, and when Xuzhou falls, we will be guilty of desertion."
"Then don't go back! According to the original arrangement of Captain Zhu, we went to the Xiongnu and told the truth about Xuzhou to King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, in exchange for the glory and wealth of the rest of our lives, and then secretly took our family out in the future. ”
"But...... I just didn't want to die, I didn't think about anything else. ”
"But if you don't want anything else, you have to die, or do you want to hide incognito for the rest of your life?"
After several people deliberated, it was decided.
When passing the lower reaches of the river, the little soldier who said that he just didn't want to die jumped into the river while his companions were not paying attention, he just wanted to go home alive, but he didn't want to hurt anyone.
"Phew, coward!" The accomplices scolded, no longer cared about him, and several people continued to go towards the Hun camp.
In the grass not far behind them, Nie Yao pointed his crossbow at the deserters in the river.
These people were deliberately released by Xiao Qingyan, that is, they wanted to go to the Hun camp to report the news, since this person did not want to go, then he could not be let go.
As a person who practices martial arts, Nie Yao hates deserters the most.
Xiao Qingyan pressed his crossbow machine: "Let him go!" ”
They are also deserters, and this person at least retains a trace of conscience compared to those who went straight to the Hun camp.
Nie Yao asked, "Those people, are we still following?" ”
When those people ran away, Xiao Qingyan stood up from behind the grass, estimating the time in his heart.
"Captain Lin should have found the grain and grass on the other side of the river, and we should also go and prepare and evacuate."
In the Xiongnu camp, Jin An listened to a few Xuzhou deserters explain the situation in the city, so he naturally would not be gullible.
"Escort the people down first, and show this king," Jin Andu said to a few people, "If it is confirmed that what you say is true, this king will promise you countless treasures and women, but if you are cheating, then wait to feed the wolves!" ”
A few deserters were taken down, and Jin An snorted coldly: "A few things that have not been planted, the Jin Imperial Court relies on these people to guard them, and it is a matter of time before they perish." ”
"King Zuoxian!" Hun Xie strode into the tent, "The scout came back, saying that the gate of Xuzhou was closed, and no army entered the city, and they didn't even clean up the corpses killed outside the city, could we have been deceived?" ”
Jin Andu paced in the tent with the scabbard, he was different from these rough people, he had been a proton in Luojing, he had been influenced by the culture of the Jin people, and knew that the Jin people liked to use tricks the most.
The more you know, the more concerns you have.
He asked, "Is there any news coming back from Guanzhong?" ”
One of the generals said: "No, we said before we set off, once we find out that there is a change in Guanzhong and the king of Qi returns, we will immediately send a message." ”
Hun Xie clapped his big hand: "That's right!" There is no news coming back, indicating that the King of Qi is still staring at Zhang Sha in Guanzhong, and we have been deceived by the King of Yunling! There are no reinforcements in Xuzhou City at all! ”
Jin An hesitated: "But what did we see during the day?" ”
"It's definitely a trick! King Zuoxian, if there is really a Jin army rushing back, how can they close the city gate! Why not go after for revenge? ”
Is that so?
But what about King Yunling? He had never heard of this vassal king having the ability to lead troops before.
Hun evil urged: "King Zuoxian, we can't delay it any longer, tonight is the best time to take Xuzhou, if we drag it out, if we wait until King Qi comes back, we will be all finished!" ”
"Yes, King Zuo Xian, we can't be as timid as those Jin people!"
They survived under the rule of the Jin people, and finally waited for the Jin people to fight among themselves, and the opportunity was rare, how could they be willing to miss it?
Jin Andu lifted the curtain out of the big tent and looked in the direction of Xuzhou City.
Zhang Sha has already rebelled in Guanzhong, Shuzhou has also caused a military rebellion, and the Xianbei departments in the Northeast are said to be recruiting troops, which is really a rare opportunity.
Jin Andu clenched the hilt of his sword and ordered: "Immediately reorganize the army and prepare to attack the city!" ”
On the other side of the river, a part of the Xiongnu elite soldiers stayed away from the large army and were specifically responsible for guarding the grain and grass.
There were also slaves who accompanied the army, chained to their hands and feet, doing the hardest and most tiring chores, and were treated like animals.
Some of them were not slaves.
Behind the meadows in the middle of the night, the men's coarse voices and rude and lewd curses could be heard, mixed with the crunch of iron chains.
After a long time, the three Hun soldiers left together with their armor, laughing and scolding with disdain.
"More ecstatic than those slave girls......"
"I don't want my father anymore...... Didn't you throw him here to serve people? ”
"Look like that...... Treat yourself as your master...... Cheap ......"
After the three of them walked away, the grass clanged again, and the white wrists were cuffed with pitch-black rusty shackles, and the sleeves of their clothes slipped off, revealing new and old scars.
The slender fingers tightly grasped the grass and trees beneath him, clutching the joints of the bones, and trembling violently until blood soaked out of his palms.
The night sky fell on a pair of dark and deep eyes, there was no moonlight, no starlight, only boundless darkness, and the two pools of empty abyss churned with hatred and bloodthirsty madness.
The young man sat up slowly, put on his tattered clothes, and his unkempt hair was blown away by the night wind, revealing a face as beautiful as a demon, with a bit of exoticism, more beautiful than the dancing girls of the Western Regions raised by the nobles.
He bit his lip and stood up, the blood running from his lips as if he didn't realize it, but he was clutching half a piece of bread and a water bladder, and if it wasn't for stealing them, he wouldn't have touched those people.
He was not a slave, his name was Helian Yi, and his father was Helian Ji, the chief of the Helian Tribe.
He, Lian, Ji.
He crushed the name and swallowed it with blood.
His mother is Helian Jie's wife, he was originally the young master of Helian Ministry, but after his mother's death, Helian Jian fell in love with a woman in the Jin Dynasty, and the woman gave birth to four sons for Helian Jie, Helian Jian was bewitched by the woman and sent him to Jin Andu's hands to make a proton.
