Chapter 405: Coward and Bloody
Until early February of the third year of Yuanguang, Ji An was ordered to arrive at Juyang, the capital of Shanggu County.
Ji An brought not only condolences and food, but also news, that is, Hao Xian was not questioned.
Hao Xianqian and others finally waited for someone, and were very happy and led the Changshi and others out of the city to welcome the imperial envoys.
The ending was as early as when the Changshi returned to the front line, after talking, Hao Xian had already expected it.
Therefore, Ji An's arrival was not surprising, and he was also very open and smooth.
What reassuring him most was that the food and grass for the assistance arrived three days earlier than Ji An, which was great news, which made the military and civilians who had been struggling for three months finally temporarily end their hunger.
"Your Majesty hasn't forgotten us!"
That day, Hao Xian knelt on the yellow dust for a long time, his head pressed against the ground for a long time, tears flowed desperately, and it merged with sincerity, wetting the loess in front of him.
It has been three months since November of the second year of Yuanguang, and the long-term rest that Liu Che expected did not come, because the Huns forgot the pain when they healed their scars.
The Hun army led by King Zuo Tuqi surrounded Juyang, while the Huhan Hunya army was divided into two parts, one along the Yanshui River Basin and confronted the western commander stationed in Ning County in Guangning and Ru County areas.
The other part fought fiercely along the Yangle River Basin with the eastern commander stationed in Nuqi.
In the early days of the war, the Han army was able to make the situation between the two sides in a tug-of-war state with their usual food and grass savings.
But these strong men recruited from the local area were soon in a passive position of poverty and coping with each other. The desert front was too long and had to retreat to the inland.
One day in February, the Han army and Huhan Hunya's army encountered the whereabouts of the south of Ru County. The two sides fought fiercely. The Hun army chased the retreating Han army and passed through the county town. They plundered property and population along the way, burning the houses in the city.
All the places passing by are the sea of fire and evil...
But when they roared, the Han army had already crossed the Yeshui River and entered the dense forest of Haituo Mountain.
Although the Han army's evacuation was a helplessness, in fact, it was irresponsible to the people. The army existed to defend the country. But this time, what they did was all cowards.
It was supposed to be a common enemy to protect the people from escaping, but when they look back, the Han army left the danger to the people in the border towns.
The Huns who lost their target stepped across the horse farm and poured their anger on the fleeing people.
The men went to war, but all the rest were the elderly, weak, women and children. Facing the iron hooves of the Huns, they had no power to fight back except to fear and hide.
At this moment, these people were moving towards the valley under the leadership of the owner.
The owner of the manor blamed the prefect in his heart, why did he recruit all the strong men to the front line? Is the lives of the people not worth much?
When did the Han army become so heartless...
Standing behind a big rock, he saw the Huns chasing him from afar.
He had a sword hanging around his waist, but in order to protect the people, he gave up his sharp weapon and handed the weapon to an old man beside him to protect himself. He stood at the head of the formation with bare hands and appeared in front of the enemy.
The Hun commander who was galloping in front was shocked by the unarmed Han man. He tightened the reins of the horse, and the war horse roared, and the horse team stopped immediately, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were thrown at him in unison.
The owner of the manor looked extremely shocking, and a fearless blood energy rose in the sky.
He is not stupid either. If he can use money to protect himself, he will naturally give it a try...
Just after the two sides looked at each other for a while, the owner of the manor asked loudly: "You are not herding horses in the north of Mo, but instead drive thousands of miles away. Isn't it just to be greedy for the Han people's property? I am willing to exchange the property of our manor for the safety of the people, how about it?"
"What?"
The Huns' commander pointed at the owner of the manor and laughed loudly to ask his subordinates behind him, "Hahaha, he said he would use money to replace people. What do you think he should do?"
One of the centurions waved their swords and shouted, "Don't pay attention to this idiot, kill him!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
...
Seeing the Huns approaching Dashi step by step, the owner of the manor understood that if he fights today, he will die. If he doesn't fight, he will die. It would be better to fight for blood and sprinkle the river valley, and it would be a man who stands tall and upright.
Under the old man's advice, the owner of Mazhuang took the sword from his hand and stabbed the Huns's thousand-man commander, and the master of Huns's thousand-man commander cut his sword through the sky. The owner of the manor caught him and pulled him off the horse. The two of them killed each other by the stream in the valley.
The owner of the manor is worthy of being the leader of the army back then. His sword is cold and he is pushing forward.
In a moment, the Huns' commanders couldn't resist it and were panting...
Seeing that the thousand men could not resist it, the Hun soldiers rushed up to surround the owner of the manor, forming an iron barrel encirclement, which was airtight.
The owner of the manor rushed left and right, and the Hun soldiers in front fell down and fell to the ground. People from behind rushed up like a tide.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the owner's hands were trembling. The scenes of his brother's death were staged one after another. The owner could not hide his sadness. Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, he whistled to the sky and stabbed the centurion next to him with his wounds and committed suicide with his sword.
And the Hun soldiers were scattered again, and even his body was not spared...
"The owner of the house!"
The old man behind Dashi rushed up regardless of life and death, shouting loudly: "Master of the Manor!"
Several middle-aged household chiefs also followed.
"The owner of the house!"
The women cried and hugged.
"grandfather!"
The children cried in horror.
War! Make people's animal nature expand rapidly in the bloody rain, making kindness seem so helpless and miserable in front of the golden swords and iron horses.
For women, men fell in a pool of blood hand in hand, and for children, women continued to form a flesh-and-blooded city wall.
The Huns' commander glanced at the women quickly and shouted: "Kill the child, stay the woman."
The women were forced out of anger by life and death, and their eyes were red, protecting the children behind them with their bodies, facing the Huns' swords without hesitation...
...
Two days later, Sima, who was guarding the whereabouts, rushed out of the siege of the Huns and returned to Juyang City.
He knelt down on Hao Xian in frustration and apologized: "I will be guilty, and my whereabouts... have been lost."
This book was expected by Hao Xian, so he focused more on the whereabouts of the people: "What about the people?"
...
"Say! Where are the people?"
...
"Could it be..."
After performing duties under Hao Xian for a long time, Sima knew that Hao Xian regarded the people more than anything else. He knew that he could not hide it, but he knew better that he would leave the people alone and wait for him.
"The fallen people were massacred by the Huns in the Phoenix Valley, and thousands of people died. The last person is guilty. Please punish the prefect!"
"Coward! Coward! Ah! I really want to kill you with one knife! Come on! Take the sinner and wait for the court to take the imperial court to take the blame."
Hao Xian suppressed his anger and kicked Sima to the ground and fainted, furious.
