Hu Canjun's words faded, and suddenly a murderous look appeared in Huan Zhen's eyes. He picked up the big bow on the saddle and instantly cocked the arrow. Before Hu Canjun could react, he had already shot an arrow. Forty steps away, a man with a face full of anger
Wu Fangzheng's throat was suddenly filled with laughter, and he knelt down weakly on the ground. He grabbed his hands twice and died without even making a cry.
Hu Canjun's smile suddenly froze on his face. Before he could open his mouth in surprise, he heard Huan Zhen's roar echoing around him: "Kill me, don't let anyone go, hurry!"
The Huan family sergeants who were in a daze together with the people around them finally reacted. Many of them hesitantly raised their bows, arrows and spears, but did not dare to take action until Huan Zhen drew his bow again and fired an arrow, shooting him down.
After an old woman started to turn around and run away, they began to stop hesitating. Arrows shot and spears stabbed, and horse hooves flew. In just a moment, more than a hundred Xingyang people who had survived the disaster fell to the ground and died one after another.
The one further away only ran a dozen steps.
Huan Zhen slowly put down the big bow in his hand. The bowstring was still vibrating slightly. A corpse in the distance was pierced by a long spiked arrow and fell helplessly to the ground. That was what he had done today.
This was the sixth person he killed. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His blood-red tongue stretched out like a vicious wolf and licked his lips. On one side, Hu Canjun had an angry look on his face and his hands
His fists were clenched and trembling slightly, but he didn't say a word.
Huan Zhen tilted his head, looked at Hu Canjun on the side, and said with a smile: "Hu Fan, you are known as the sharpshooter of Jingzhou and the general's tiger. How come you didn't kill anyone or shoot an arrow in the battle just now?"
Hu Fan gritted his teeth: "Battle? Mr. Zhen, this is not a battle, it is clearly a massacre! Although I, Hu Fan, desire military glory and make contributions, I am not crazy enough to kill defenseless people. If military glory is like this
If the land is obtained, then I would rather go home and farm!”
The smile on Huan Zhen's face slowly faded, and a look of contempt flashed in his eyes: "Oh, our Hu Canjun turns out to be a great hero who is compassionate and compassionate. But you don't seem to be as noble as you said, right?
Along the way, you personally led your troops to flatten the villages and kill many civilians."
A trace of shame flashed across Hu Fan's face, and he said: "Those, those I just followed orders, but when I actually carried them out, I was struggling inside. I could only tell myself again and again that these are the people of the enemy country who do not obey the king.
He refused to welcome the king's army, and when the army came, he did not bow to the wind and surrender, but wanted to form a stronghold to protect himself. Moreover, in the villages I flattened, I only killed strong men, but I never attacked the old, weak, women and children!"
"Today I heard what that Hu man said, and I am deeply ashamed of what I have done before. We Han people are a country of etiquette. We have been taught to be benevolent and righteous and love the people since we were young. But in the end, what we do, our thoughts and insights
, worse than a barbarian businessman. Mr. Zhen, you clearly promised Abbas to take these Xingyang people back, why did you break your promise and kill them all?"
A fierce light flashed in Huan Zhen's eyes: "Hu Fan, what do you think we are doing here?"
Hu Fan replied without hesitation: "According to the general order of the champion general, we came with our elite cavalry in order to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and eliminate the enemy's small force."
Huan Zhen laughed: "Very good, so how did we complete our current mission?"
Hu Fan said sternly: "The reconnaissance mission has almost been completed. It was just because we met Abbas that this important military information needed to be notified to General Champion in advance, so General Huangfu took the first step. But before he left, he did not explicitly give the order.
Shall I wait to escort the people back?"
Huan Zhen sneered and said: "Yes, so you foolishly want to carry out Huangfu Fu's order and let him receive the reward, while we still have to wander around here, and finally return slowly with these old, weak, sick and disabled people.
Camp, after we go back, we haven’t achieved anything, and these people may still be infected with the plague. If they are brought back and spread among the army, who will be responsible for this, you?"
Hu Fan was speechless at the question, but could not refute.
Huan Zhen looked at the sergeants who were harvesting the heads from the corpses of the Xingyang people in the distance, and said loudly: "Don't cut off the heads, they are all old men. You can tell at a glance that they will cause trouble, so just cut off the noses and take them back."
You can’t tell your age anyway, and if you pile these dead ghosts together and burn them, they might all be infected with the disease, so don’t bother burying them.”
The sergeants in the distance agreed in unison, and then followed Huan Zhen's instructions. Everyone had a smile on their face. After all, Huan Zhen had made many of them gain this time, and they would be rewarded with real military merits when they returned home. These
The soldier, who is like a tiger and a wolf, once he saw blood and gained gong, he felt that even the rancid air became sweet.
Huan Zhen pointed at the sergeants with a smile and said to Hu Fan: "Daoxu (Hu Fan's word), as a soldier, you should understand the needs of the soldiers. We go to the battlefield and sacrifice our lives for this purpose."
Merits, for those of us who are generals and join the army, our merits can be achieved through the army's gains, but as for these small soldiers, we have to kill real people. You protected the useless people, but the soldiers lost the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
, in the end, it can only make the soldiers deserted. As for those common people, they are the people of the enemy country. Whether to kill or release them is just a matter of our thoughts. They are cattle and sheep, so why do we need sympathy? Before we go to war, we must kill the cattle and slaughter them.
Sheep, sacrifice their blood to the flag, these old, weak, sick and disabled people can be used as our flag-sacrifice cattle and sheep this time."
A trace of anger flashed in Hu Fan's eyes, and he said bitterly: "Master Zhen, no matter what, I cannot agree with your point of view. These are people, not cattle and sheep!"
Huan Zhen sneered and said: "Human life in troubled times is like grass, not as good as cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep can at least be slaughtered and eaten. Can these people do it? Hu Daoxu, I think you have some abilities. I wanted to make friends with you, but I didn't expect you to be so disrespectful."
You know how to be commended, but you believe the nonsense of those barbarians. I don’t think you will be able to stand out in the Jingzhou Army from now on!"
As he spoke, he slapped the horse's butt and the war horse flew away. The few followers behind him suddenly thought of something and said loudly: "Master Zhen, you haven't harvested your harvest yet. We..."
Huan Zhen's voice floated far down the wind: "Leave these gains to the brothers and leave this ghost place as soon as possible. I'll go to Bishui Pass to have a look!"
Hu Fan stared at the back of Huan Zhen who was retreating. He sighed and murmured to himself: "Is such an army worthy of my service? What a pity, if Abbas were our Jin general, what would he have?"
How great is that?!”
A sergeant on the side shouted: "Hu Canjun, we have left you two noses. Look..."
Without saying a word, Hu Fan galloped towards the south where Huangfu Fu was going in the opposite direction. A puff of smoke completely enveloped the two sergeants who wanted to come up to please him and did not disperse for a long time.
