Chapter 0010: Trap
"General! Big things are wrong! ”
At this moment, a small school rushed in.
"What's the alarm?"
The little colonel knelt down on one knee in front of Shi Min and said: "General, the twelve soldiers who went out yesterday and went home to visit their relatives were all robbed by a group of thieves, not only were all robbed of the copper coins on their bodies, but also killed and four were injured, and the remaining eleven soldiers were all tied up by the thieves. ”
"The thieves claimed that the soldiers had killed three of their companions, and asked our Han army to give justice, otherwise they would kill these soldiers as soon as noon passed, in order to comfort the spirits of the dead thieves in heaven!"
When Shi Min heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but whisper: "What is the origin of the thief?" How dare you be so bold?! ”
"They are...... Karma! ”
“……”
When Shi Min was silent, Wang Ping, who was under the head, suddenly couldn't sit still, smashed his fist on the table, stood up indignantly and said, "It's really angry with me!" These sons of bitches! I'm going to kill them! ”
"Wait!"
Dong Kuang and Wei Zheng hurriedly went up and grabbed Wang Ping's arm, and tried to dissuade him.
Shi Min was helpless, asked where the thief had explained, and rushed over with his three uncles and a team of soldiers and horses.
Shi Min always felt that something was wrong with this. Yecheng is at the foot of the Great Zhao Heavenly King, where Gyeonggi is located, who dares to kill the sergeant of the army so boldly? Committing this kind of captivity?
Even if they are the people of the Great Zhao Kingdom, I'm afraid they don't have the courage, right?
It is worth mentioning that the Later Zhao Dynasty adopted the policy of dividing the Hu and Han ethnic groups, set up a large single to rule over the minority people, and set up special official positions to manage the resignation and entry and exit of the Hu people, and even forcibly stipulated that the Han people were called "Zhao people" and the Hu people were "national people", and it was strictly forbidden to call Hu people.
Shi Min and the rest of the army rushed to a small forest on the outskirts of the city.
On the edge of the low, simple thatched hut with babbling water, about thirty people were surrounding eleven Han soldiers who were wounded and several were dying.
The scarred appearance of these eleven Han sergeants has been injured and disabled, their muscles and veins have been broken, and they look disabled, no different from a wasted person!
Seeing the appearance of these soldiers, Wang Ping's violent temper just got off the horse and pulled out his sword and said: "Lao Tzu killed you dog thieves!" ”
"Third brother!"
"Third brother!"
Dong Kuang and Wei Zheng were more rational, and hurriedly went up and grabbed Wang Ping's arm left and right, so that he could not act rashly.
"Second brother and fifth brother, don't stop me! These soldiers are my subordinates, and if I can't avenge them if I can't avenge them, won't I be their commander in vain?! Wang Ping glared angrily.
"Don't be impatient!" Dong Kuang frowned and said, "Let Min Er make the decision for them." ”
Shi Min immediately waved his hand, and the hundred Han soldiers he brought rushed forward, holding spear after spear to surround these people.
Shi Min then went up and said, "Which of you is the leader?" ”
Among the people, a tall man sneered and said, "We are not thieves, where did the leader say that?" ”
"If you are not the leader, why are you blocking the road? Robbed me of the money of the twelve Han soldiers? And killing and maiming people, do you know that this is a capital crime? Shi Min said in a deep voice.
"Huh, capital offense?" The Karma people said dismissively, "I think they are the ones who will punish a capital sin!" As their commander, you are also to blame for not ruling harshly! You also have to be punished for the sin of laxity! ”
The people of the neighborhood were all chattering there.
"That's it! They are just lowly men, let alone robbing them of their belongings, even if they kill them? ”
"Hey, hey, hey, kill them and pay the price of a sheep! Who made these soldiers of your kind so blind? Since they have bumped into our hands, if they don't obey, forget it, and dare to resist! I really don't know whether to live or die! ”
"They killed three of our companions! Hey! It's so bold, it's really bold! We are Karma, and the Great King once said that every Karma's life is precious, but this time three died! ”
"You have to give us justice! If not! Let's kill the remaining eleven Han soldiers and let them pay for their debts! ”
Looking at the hateful faces of these people, Shi Min's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he became more and more indifferent.
He always felt that this was a conspiracy, a trap, as if there was an invisible net trapping him, as soon as he moved, he would be trapped, and if he didn't move, that big net would surround him, and then it would trap him!
In a dilemma? You don't have to!
"Heh, what a blood debt!" Shi Min sneered, then slowly pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at the thirty people and said slowly, "Today, I will make you pay for your blood debt!" ”
"Kill them for me!"
When the soldiers around the thirty men heard this, they immediately sang a promise, and then rushed over with their spears, and the tiger entered the flock and killed these bold men on the spot.
"How dare you! ……”
"We're Karma!"
These people were stunned for a while, looking at the Han soldiers who rushed over like wolves, they reacted immediately after being killed a few people, and then resisted with iron swords, but how to withstand the attack of these hundred well-trained and mostly battle-hardened soldiers?
"Ahhh ……”
Blood, crimson blood was scattered all over the ground.
On the edge of this pond, there were stumps and broken limbs everywhere, and the broken limbs were scattered one after another. Even Wang Ping couldn't get angry, showed the sword in his hand, and went up to kill a few people.
These people could never have imagined that they would die at the hands of the Han people, whom they despise the most!
"Wait!"
Just when Wang Ping's face was dripping with blood, and he wanted to slash the face of the last man with a sword, the frightened man suddenly shouted, and then said with a hideous face: "Shi Min! You can't kill me! ”
"Stop."
Shi Min waved his hand and motioned for Wang Ping to retreat.
"You know me?"
"You can't kill me! I...... I am the son of Liu Rong, the commander of the patrol battalion! Wei Yin Cao Bao is my uncle! You can't kill me! Otherwise, they won't let you go! Shi Min! ”
Looking at the panicked man, Shi Min shook his head.
Later Zhao's capital was originally in Xiangguo (now Xingtai, Hebei), and later moved the capital to Yecheng and changed it to Wei Yin. Cao Bao is Wei Yin of the current Zhao State, equivalent to the mayor of Beijing in later generations, with a high and powerful position.
To kill or not to kill?
Just when Shi Min hesitated, a chaotic sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from not far away.
Shi Min turned his head to look and saw Liu Rong, the commander of the patrol battalion, coming with hundreds of armor soldiers at this moment, and in an instant, he came to the edge of this pond and surrounded the soldiers brought by Shi Min.
Liu Rong got off the horse and saw the corpses of the people all over the ground, as well as the blood stains on the spears in the hands of those Han soldiers, and saw his son Liu Bao being "intimidated" by Shi Min, and couldn't help frowning.
"Good! Shi Min, you really ate the gall of the ambitious leopard! Liu Rong glared at Shi Min and sneered, "It seems that you really don't know how to write dead characters." Under the nose of King Zhao Tianwang, you dare to kill the people without permission? You have brutally killed more than 30 people for the sake of these despicable men, I must go to the king's drive to sue you for a royal warrant, and ask the king to give you a capital crime! ”
Seeing Liu Rong appear so "timely", Shi Min suddenly realized.
The feeling is that Liu Rong is designing to frame him!
But Shi Min is not afraid at all.
Shi Min then said lightly: "General Liu, Commander Liu, please accumulate some virtue in your mouth, don't be a capital crime at every turn." Also, I, Shi Min, killed not a countryman, but a thief! ”
"You can see clearly, these thieves have swords in their hands. This is a murder weapon! ”
Being scolded by Shi Min like this, Liu Rong couldn't help but say angrily: "Nonsense! Anyway, Shi Min, it is an irrefutable fact that you instructed your subordinates to kill more than 30 people! Actions speak louder than words! ”
"I killed a thief." Shi Min still insisted.
"Whew!" Liu Rong sneered disdainfully, and then said to his son Liu Bao, "Bao'er, come here." After a while, confront the king in front of the king, tell the truth, and make sure that our general Zuo Jishu is speechless! ”
"Yes." Liu Bao nodded, as if he had been amnestied, he just wanted to run over, but Shi Min in front of him swung a sword.
"Huh!"
The sword flashed.
Liu Bao's eyes widened and he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.
The throat is spraying blood in a "torrent".
"Bud!"
In the end, Liu Bao still fell unwillingly in a pool of blood and died of exhaustion.
This work between the lightning and flint, not to mention Liu Rong, even Dong Kuang, Wei Zheng and others who were close to him did not react, and it was too late to go up and stop it!
Shi Min still said indifferently: "Commander Liu, as I said, I killed a thief." ”
"You!" Liu Rong held back the grief and indignation in his heart, his face quickly became gloomy, and he said fiercely, "Okay! Very good! Shi Min, you have a kind! We'll see! ”
Then Liu Rong took the body of his son Liu Bao and left with the soldiers of the patrol battalion he brought.
When Dong Kuang saw the corpses of the people all over the ground, he couldn't help but sigh faintly and said, "Alas, Min'er, how can you be so arrogant? If you kill Liu Bao, you will completely offend Cao Bao, Liu Rong and other Zhao nobles! Killing so many people in one breath is a pleasure, but it is bound to anger the king! Once the king is condemned, this ......"
Wang Ping also calmed down and said in a low voice: "If you kill it, you will kill it." If the king is to blame, Min'er, you just push it on me! If you want to kill or chop, I will listen to you! ”
Hearing this, Shi Min was both moved and helpless in his heart, and said, "Third uncle, things are not as simple as you think. It's a trap at all, a trap for me! With this time, there will be a next one. ”
