The dim firelight flickered in the corner with its last stubbornness, and the fishy smell mixed with red muddy water filled the air, making people nauseous.
There were stumps and broken arms everywhere on the ground, and the frightened eyes that could not be closed were blurry and lifeless. The horse that had lost its owner was restlessly trampling its front hooves, looking at the owner's fallen head, it was breathing lightly, as if it was doing something.
A final farewell.
Five thousand Huns cavalry, to be precise, are five thousand living lives. They also have family members, parents and children, wives and brothers and sisters who depend on them, but there is nothing at this time. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death.
The peasants who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield had crossed the canal at some point. Barbak was right, there were several wooden planks on the canal. At this time, the peasants passed the wooden plank road, pushing wheelbarrows one after another, holding shovels and
The dustpan came over.
The scene in front of them made many people hold on to the corner and vomit.
Except for the civilian husbands who had participated in Taihang and his party before, these people had seen the world and were not so miserable as to vomit. The other civilian husbands who actively signed up to participate in cleaning up the battlefield, at this time, one by one, basically vomited out the overnight meal the night before yesterday.
The water channel that was originally very clear was now extremely turbid. The fish in the water were chasing the floating corpses floating on the water. The villagers quickly took out wooden boards and fished out the pieces of meat and other items from the floating corpses.
"Ugh... I, I can't survive, Ergouzi, come on, come and help me... Damn it, this guy's intestines can be four to five feet long... ugh... it's full of fish... ugh
…I will never eat fish again.”
"Niang Xipi, can you please stop vomiting? I didn't feel anything at first, but your vomiting made me a little... vomiting..."
"Brothers, for the sake of food stamps, you have to endure a little... vomit..."
"I'll bear with you... ugh!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, the adults of the Longshan Army are coming."
The height and body shape were unusual for ordinary people, coupled with the tall Dawan famous horse, the huge pressure instantly stopped the desire of the people to vomit, and they all looked at the Longshan man in front of them with expressions of admiration and yearning on their faces.
Wen Chou scanned the surroundings vigilantly. According to Xu Huang's instructions, the Longshan Army also cooperated with the patrol to prevent individual Huns from pretending to be dead to avoid disaster, or to prevent sudden violence and harm to ordinary people.
"Is it Brother Wen?" A farmer came forward excitedly and asked.
Wen Chou was stunned for a moment, took off the ferocious mask on his face, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be my father-in-law. You and your family are also here to help clean up. Thank you for your hard work."
The old man stepped forward respectfully, bowed, and responded: "We are all residents in the city, so we should help clean up. Besides, Mr. Qie Tian said that in order to compensate us, each household will have five hundred Wen food stamps or cloth stamps."
, not hard.”
Wen Chou said "Hmm" and his eyes fell on a girl behind the old man. The girl's face was not very good-looking, but through the hazy night, it was not difficult to see the girl's delicate and delicate facial features, and the girl's eyes were secretly looking at Wen Chou.
.
This was not the first time that the two met. The old man ran a pancake shop with his family. Wen Chou was a frequent visitor to their house. Not only was he familiar with the old man, but he also talked and laughed with the old man's two sons on weekdays.
As if feeling Wen Chou's gaze, the girl pursed her lips shyly, and her cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wen Chou is not handsome, or can be described as rough and rugged. Compared with those gentle men, a man like Wen Chou can only use the word rough to summarize his appearance, but ugly men also have a gentle side.
"Yu Niang, this is for you." Wen Chou took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to the old man in front of him.
The old man took the porcelain bottle with both hands and handed it to his daughter behind him with a smile. His two sons also looked on and giggled.
The girl looked up at the tall and burly man, and took the porcelain bottle under the envious gazes of everyone on the side.
"This is the toilet water developed by Erye. It can not only repel mosquitoes and relieve itching, but also has a strange fragrance. If you put a little bit on it, it will make you feel better." Wen Chou said very gently.
The girl nodded shyly, opened the porcelain bottle and smelled it, her eyes suddenly lit up.
When Wen Chou saw this, he laughed.
"My husband, two brothers, and Yu Niang, you are busy. I have to go on patrol and eat pancakes tomorrow."
The old man hurriedly bowed in return and responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, brother Wen will come over early tomorrow, and I will ask Yu Niang to cook a mutton soup for you alone. Yu Niang's craftsmanship is famous in our area.
Chef Niu from Hao Kelai also said that he would accept her as his apprentice."
Wen Chou laughed and nodded, looked at the girl one more time, and went on patrol on horseback.
"Sister, let me smell it quickly. What kind of flower water is this? It smells so good." When the two brothers saw that their future brother-in-law was gone, they returned to their usual playful smiles.
Seeing this, the old man scolded: "Hurry up and work, don't let people say that we are lazy because of our connections, and it will be bad to discredit Wen Chou."
When Yu Niang heard that it made sense, she said to her two younger brothers: "Ada is right. Work first. Come on, I'll apply some to you too. This toilet water is so fragrant... And Ada, you can apply some too."
It would be so uncomfortable.”
Although this was just an insignificant episode, the same scene happened everywhere in the city.
Longshan Jun is also a human being, and as a human being he needs to have a family and start a career, but compared to other men, they have a higher degree of freedom to choose their spouse.
Except for some outstanding-looking men who can be spotted by aristocratic families and be recruited as their son-in-law, rough guys like Wen Chou, Yan Liang, and Hua Cun Carp advocate free love and will take the initiative to pursue girls from any family they like.
Recently, there have been many people celebrating weddings in the city, and more than 70% of them are men from the Longshan Army and City Guards.
In the past, they would have never dared to hope that they could marry any beautiful girl. Some men would be happy if they could just find a widow. But unlike now, they have the choice of girls from good families in the city, and some even pay for them.
What about the dowry?
No need to talk too much.
Let's say that Wen Chou patrolled around to make sure that no Huns who were pretending to be dead had attacked and injured anyone, and then returned to the city gate tower.
Wei Cheng had already arrived at the square in front of the city gate, and the flag in his hand was replaced by the folding fan he used to use in the past.
Standing beside Wei Cheng were Yuan Shao, Wei Min, Liu Biao, Liu Bei and others.
In front of them was the once arrogant King Zuoxian of the Huns, who was now wagging his tail and begging for mercy like an old dog.
One thing I have to admit is that this King Zuoxian is actually a handsome guy. His appearance is not much worse than that of Emiya. He has a fair-skinned face with a bit of Eurasian mixed race. He is also tall and tall. The most important thing is that he can speak Chinese.
.
"What do you have to say?" Wei Cheng looked at the man in front of him, murderous intent emerging in his eyes.
Historically, it was this handsome man who married my precious Yan'er. His love rival was extremely jealous when he met her. What's more, the other person's life was already in his hands. Even if Wei Cheng was being stingy, he didn't mind letting him say a few more words at this time.
But what he didn't expect was that King Zuo Xian looked so heroic, but was actually a weakling, and he immediately knelt down.
"My king... I know Dong Zhuo. I can ask him to give you a high-ranking official of the Wei clan and a generous salary. Don't kill me. Killing me will not do you any good. On the contrary, it will worsen the relationship between you and my clan... There are still people outside the city.
There are 50,000 troops, I, I can retreat, and from now on I promise not to take a step further east of the river."
Wei Teng chuckled, Dong Zhuo? Fifty thousand troops?
Wei Cheng shook his head and said, "Do you think I am afraid of Dong Zhuo or your 50,000-strong army?"
King Zuo Xian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Wei Cheng or the entire Wei family did not need to be afraid of Dong Zhuo. As for the army outside the city, he was now their prisoner, so there seemed to be no need to worry.
"Then, what do you have to do to let me go?" King Zuo Xian still wanted to save himself, "Gold, I know you like to collect gold. I can give you a lot of gold. What else do you want, as long as I have it,
I can give it to you."
Wei Teng shook his head boredly and looked at Yuan Shao who was standing aside.
Yuan Shao understood, took a step forward, and said to King Zuo Xian: "If you want to save your life, quickly release the people you captured. If any of them hurts a finger, I will demand your blood to pay for it."
King Zuo Xian frowned at first, and then he said excitedly, as if grasping the last straw, "You can release me, but you should release me first!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he seemed to have heard a big joke. He glanced at Wei Cheng, who had a faint smile on his face and nodded slightly towards him, indicating that he would take care of it.
Yuan Shao was not a good person. He bowed his fist gratefully to Wei Qing and then pulled out a dagger from his waist.
"You, what are you going to do? If you hurt me, your people will also be buried with me."
Yuan Shao was too lazy to press him any further, so he stepped forward and grabbed his hair, just like shaving a sheep. He raised the knife and cut off King Zuo Xian's right ear. Holding the bloody ear, Yuan Shao said:
"Are they among the army outside the city?"
King Zuo Xian did not expect that Yuan Shao would hurt someone at the slightest disagreement. The huge pain made his brain buzz. He was afraid, frightened, uneasy, and panicked. He lay on the ground holding the wound like a dead dog, "
Yes, yes, the remaining people are outside the city, don't kill me, I can let them go, as long as you don't kill me..."
Yuan Shao handed his ear to the middle-aged scribe beside him and said, "Ziyuan, you take someone for a trip. You don't need me to teach you what to do?"
Behind Yuan Shao, Wei Qing almost glanced at the middle-aged scribe, Zi Yuan. Isn't that the idiot Xu You?
Historically, Yuan Shao's two great advisers were Xu You and Tian Feng. Tian Feng was too upright and would say whatever he wanted. He would call his boss a fool when everything happened; while Xu You had a character problem. After Yuan Shao's death, two people
While his son was still there, he immediately jumped over to Cao Cao. After helping Cao Cao capture Yecheng, he even thought highly of himself and called Cao Cao, "Oh, whoever will die will die if you don't."
But it has to be said that both Tian Feng and Xu You have real talents and learning. The fact that their talents cannot be fully utilized has a lot to do with Yuan Shao's character.
Trust them and don't blame them for backstabbing.
"Don't worry, Ming Gong. With this right ear, the eldest son's life is safe." Xu You took the ear with both hands and bowed respectfully.
Next to him, Tian Feng also stood up. Ten other people from the city guard were also captured. Although we don’t know whether they are alive or dead, we have to take a look to find out. If the Huns harmed people without opening their eyes, what will happen next?
No more fighting to the death.
The city gate opened automatically again.
Liu Biao and others looked at each other in shock at the scene in front of them.
"Is this solved?"
In less than an hour, a crisis that could annihilate the entire city was easily resolved, and those who watched the whole process were taught a lesson by the Wei family.
In the past, the power of the Longshan Army was only a general concept. Knowing that the Longshan Army was rumored to be amazing, some people thought with disdain that the Wei family was bragging.
But tonight's crushing battle made them look stupid. Not to mention that the Longshan Army went on a rampage and ignored all attacks, but after one battle, there was not a single injured person among the 500 Longshan Army. This was enough to make them
Stunned.
"Xuande, your understanding of the Wei family is too superficial." Liu Biao looked at the stunned Liu Bei and said.
Liu Bei bowed his hands in embarrassment, which was too superficial. His understanding of the Wei family and Wei Cheng was still at the stage three months ago. At that time, the city guard army was established not long ago. Even though it was powerful, it was not as exaggerated as it is now.
Especially the new armored stomach worn by the Longshan Army. Is there really a weapon in this world that can break through such a defense?
Behind the crowd, Yuan Shu and his party, dressed in disguise, were also shocked.
Originally, he thought that he could be on an equal footing with Wei Cheng, and could even have a direct interview and cooperation with Wei Hao. At this time, Yuan Shu was no longer as arrogant as before. The power of the Longshan Army was not only aimed at the Huns, but also against all the aristocratic families and people present.
power.
Yuan Shu knew that this was a warning given to them by Wei Cheng.
The big man is going to change his mind!
Yuan Shu had been planning for so many years, but he never expected that he would eventually encounter such a strange force as the Wei clan. Now there are only 500 Longshan troops, but what if it is 5,000 or even 50,000?
Yuan Shu would not foolishly believe that there are only 500 sets of Longshan Armor. Will his dream be realized when the Wei family rises?
Obviously it won't work, this Wei family is too strong, so strong that it makes people feel scared, so strong that it makes them intimidated.
The only good thing is that the Wei family currently has no plans to expand. Hedong is neither big nor small. How good would it be if the Wei family just entertained themselves in Hedong County?
Yuan Shu even began to comfort himself in his heart, but the reality was often a slap in the face. He asked himself, if he had such a strong strength, would he be willing to live in a corner?
The answer is obviously no.
So sooner or later, the Wei clan will have to leave Hedong. When the time comes, the ones facing the Wei clan will be either Yuan Shao from Jizhou or themselves in the south. It is impossible for the Wei clan to cross over and take Luoyang directly, right?
When Yuan Shu was not thinking, a person behind him happened to be staring at him leisurely.
As early as when he entered Hedong, people had already followed him. If he hadn't been acting like a tourist these days, Wei would have had someone come to him for tea and chat.
Emiya yawned and looked up at the sky.
From the time the Huns entered the city to the end of the battle, it only took an hour. If we go back now, we should be able to have a good sleep.
As for the Huns outside, they should all be lying down at this time.
Wei Gong yawned again and said, "Second brother's medicinal powder is still very powerful, but it's a pity that there are a few wells."
