Xuun soon received Ning Yan's decision. The surrendered troops and others were left to Xuun's disposal, and Huo Jiu had to be escorted to the capital.
As the mastermind of this incident, Hyun certainly knew what was waiting for Huo Jiu after he was escorted back to Beijing. It was good to behead the capital, but if not, he would be punished by three tribes or even nine tribes.
Huo Jiu's relatives near and far, whether they were in the capital or not, were all in fear. Those who had already escaped from the capital were preparing to flee to more remote places, and those who had not yet escaped were also preparing to hide in the nooks and crannies.
Huo Jiu personally escorted Huo Jiu back to the capital. The surrendered troops and those who were arrested were all detained in the camp. Ding Wangcai, Lai Houhou, Hou Mo and Chen Chong stayed to take charge of Huo Jiu's place. Yan Xiaomao and Wu Tiedan followed Huo Jiu. , returned to Beijing with the escort team.
Back in the capital, Xun asked Yan Xiaomao and Wu Tiedan to escort Huo Jiu to Tianlao, while she went to find Ning Yan.
Eunuch Hao led Xuan to the study room. In addition to his own people, there were several senior officials inside. When he saw Xuan coming in with a dusty face, he was stunned for a moment.
Hyun didn't bother to chat with them. She walked to a suitable position and knelt down in front of Ning Yan with her head bowed. If the dragon chair hadn't been taller than ordinary chairs, Ning Yan would have fallen backwards and said in a panic:
"Huang...General Zhuo, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
Hyun was still kneeling on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty, please listen to Wei Chen."
Ning Yan looked at Ning Feng helplessly, and Ning Feng motioned for him to listen, so he had to calm down and listen to what Xuan said.
Hyun looked at the carpet close at hand and said:
"Your Majesty, although General Huo was the instigator of this incident, he initially only targeted the minor ministers. General Huo has always criticized the minor ministers. The matter of becoming a vassal this time was caused by the minor ministers. Therefore, General Huo's dissatisfaction exploded because of this incident. He had no intention of being an enemy of the royal family. Those who are guilty should be those who took advantage of the opportunity. These are the people who deserve to be killed! General Huo has always been concerned about Kunyu Kingdom. , He has made great contributions to the Kun Yu Kingdom through life and death. Even on the battlefield, Wei Chen can feel that General Huo is just being forced by his subordinates. He can be an enemy of Wei Chen, but he will never want to rebel. I believe this in the hearts of all ministers. They are all known. A wise man will always make mistakes, and no one is perfect. General Huo did not expect that this situation would develop. Please give your Majesty a clear warning. General Huo should not lose his life because of this matter."
Of course Ning Yan understood what Xun said. In fact, before Xun came in, they were still discussing Huo Jiu's punishment.
Ning Yan looked at Xuan, thought for a while and said:
"General Zhuo has been running all the way. It's been very hard. Let's go down and rest first."
Xun responded and withdrew. She was only here to explain her views and convey her thoughts to Ning Yan. She would not force Ning Yan to submit. Therefore, Ning Yan asked her to step aside and left without saying a word. .
After Ning Fang went to bed, he couldn't wait to run home. He heard Hyun's heavy breathing at the door. He was stunned for a moment and laughed secretly. He walked to the bed and slapped Hyun on the buttocks. Hyun woke up with a start and saw that it was Ning Yu muttered something and nestled into his arms.
Ning Fang smiled and brushed a strand of hair away from her face:
"You were so eloquent just now, why are you so sleepy now that you are no longer worried about General Huo?"
Hyun said sleepily:
"I'm just stating my point of view, and I don't intend to force Yan. As for how to deal with Huo Jiu, it depends on his fate."
As he talked, he tended to fall asleep again.
Ning Fang grabbed her and shook her to wake her up:
"Eat and then sleep."
Hyun hugged his neck and leaned on him:
"You feed me, and I'll eat."
Ning Feng kissed her forehead:
"Okay, I'll serve the lady. I'll chew it until it's chewy and then feed it to her."
Hyun hit him:
"Isn't it disgusting? It's chewed up."
Ning Fang smiled and said:
"When you were sick, I gave you medicine, water and food mouth to mouth. This would be disgusting."
Hyun curled up in his arms and acted coquettishly, which made Ning Fang feel angry all over. He picked her up and walked to the dining room:
"Eat first, and then we'll discuss what to do with you after you finish."
Regarding Huo Jiu's treatment, everyone finally adopted Xun's method - let him go. Xun thought of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo, and the beatings convinced him that he would live in peace, and save him from jumping out and jumping around from time to time.
Huo Jiu's captured friends were escorted back to Beijing and thrown into the sky prison, waiting to be dealt with after the battle.
The surrendered soldiers, Ding Wangcai and the others carried out the flogging. This whip was not an ordinary whip, it was barbed. One whip could pull out the flesh and blood. After ten whips, the back was already a mess of flesh and blood.
Then, they are unified into a unit and observed. Those who are indeed useful will remain in the army, and those who cannot be used will be retired early.
When Huo Jiu returned to the camp, he was welcomed and entertained by the remaining friends. They talked a lot of flattery, but Huo Jiu only dealt with it superficially.
After returning to his tent and sitting in a daze, Huo Hong came in, sat down and silently poured a glass of water for Huo Jiu:
"Father, in fact, after you were captured, a lot of the troops that retreated slipped away. Now we only have about three thousand people. And now," he quietly got up and walked to the door of the camp, listened carefully, and said He opened a crack and looked outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he came back and lowered his voice and said, "We have been controlled by those people."
Huo Jiu sneered:
"These people will have to support themselves even if they die."
Huo Hong took a sip of water and said:
"My people sent news from the capital. This time it is Hyun who intercedes for my father."
Huo Jiu's body was shaken, and he turned his head and looked at Huo Hong in disbelief:
"You, who do you say you are?!"
Huo Hong smiled lightly:
"I think father has heard it."
Huo Jiu still looked at Huo Hong in disbelief:
"I thought it was because the emperor had done something good for me that he let me go."
Huo Hong put down the teacup:
"It is said that when Hyun begged the emperor for mercy at that time, he said that his father was targeting her. His dissatisfaction with her had erupted because of the vassal incident. His father did not want to target the royal family. His father still had Kun Yu in mind and was only thinking about Kun Yu. You cannot be punished for this."
Huo Jiu approached Huo Hong and said:
"You kid lied to me!"
Huo Hong smiled and said:
"I believe that with my father's ability, it will not be difficult to find these."
Huo Jiu sat in the chair as softly as a deflated rubber ball and said as if gibbering:
"Then why do you let me go?"
Huo Hong thought for a while and said:
"Maybe Master Zhuo wants to imitate Zhuge Liang and capture Meng Huo seven times."
Huo Jiu snorted dissatisfied.
Huo Hong said to Huo Jiu:
"Father, do you want to continue to fight? Do you really want to be beaten seven times?"
Huo Jiu glanced at him sideways, and then looked at the teacup in front of his hand:
"Are you full? When you're done, go out."
Huo Hong smiled, stood up and left the camp. He knew that the moment Huo Jiu drew his sword to wipe his neck on the battlefield, he lost the will to continue fighting with Hyun. If he was really captured and manipulated by a female doll, he would
There's no room for daddy's old face.
I looked up at the star-studded sky and took a deep breath of the cool mountain air:
What a beautiful weather!
Putting Huo Jiu on the front foot, Hyun on the back foot led the team back to the battlefield. She was not sure whether Huo Jiu wanted to fight her again. If he was really as stubborn as Meng Huo, he really had to think about how to fight in the future, and occasionally use it like herding sheep.
The method of deploying troops is to give them a surprise, but it won't work if you use it again and again. This method of deploying troops is too stupid and has a lot of loopholes. Facing a veteran like Huo Jiu, it is not equivalent to putting his neck under the sword.
.
When discussing with several commanders how to deal with the next situation, someone came to report to Huo Jiu and Huo Hong. Several people came out and took a look. They were naked and kneeling in the camp with thorn sticks on their backs.
Hyun hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Huojiu:
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you invite the two adults into the house!"
The two were brought to the tent where they were discussing, but Huo Jiu and his son still knelt down, jumped away from the two people in front of them, and approached Huo Jiu from the side:
"General Huo, what are you doing? You are the oldest person in the room. You are trying to defeat us!"
Huo Jiu couldn't bear to insist:
"General Zhuo, I have lived in vain. I have neither a broad mind nor superb skills. I feel really ashamed in front of General Zhuo."
Hyun couldn't afford to hold Huo Jiu back, so she knelt down in front of him:
"Where do we start with this? General Huo is a veteran on the battlefield. Our skills are not enough for General Huo to drink a pot. It is just a surprise." He said to Huo Hong, "Brother Hong, we two brothers
A person who has been exposed to death on the battlefield, why are you like this? Please advise General Huo, if this continues, I will not be able to see anyone."
Huo Hong looked at Hyun with a smile on his face. He finally understood why the five brothers Le Zhengyuan liked Hyun so much. It was not only because the Le Zheng family had no daughters, but the most important thing was that Hyun had a good temper.
Hyun pulled Huo Hong for a long time and saw that he didn't move, so she had to persuade Huo Jiu again.
Huo Jiu suddenly straightened up and said to Xuan:
"Master Zhuo doesn't care about me. It's because Master Zhuo has a broad mind. However, I have to ask Master Zhuo to accept this gift. I have been making cold remarks to Master Zhuo. I feel really guilty. I hope Master Zhuo can accept the old man's apology!"
"
Having said that, what else could Xun say? He bit the bullet and accepted Huo Jiu's three bows. Then he quickly picked up the two of them and asked someone to take them down to wash up and rest.
These two people ran out secretly, or to be more precise, they escaped. Huo Jiu's friends were afraid that the two father and son would escape. Many people in the army came for Huo Jiu. If they escaped,
, then a few of them clowns couldn't hold up a show, but no matter how closely they watched, there were still people in the army who helped them escape. They escaped and brought a group of soldiers with them. All in all, that side
There was no one left. In order to prevent the night from getting too long, Huo Hong immediately took Hyun and the others to the camp, and wiped out the camp with lightning speed.
Finally, calm returned. In the evening, there was a banquet in the army, and the surrendered soldiers were all drunk.
After that, Huo Jiu was dismissed from office. He originally wanted to keep Huo Hong in his post, but Huo Hong said that he was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so Huo Jiu's family also left Beijing. Huo Jiu's friends were not so good, because they were
Those who were really overly motivated were beheaded or sentenced to life imprisonment, and some were sentenced to military exile.
As for the cavalry sent by Tuoba Tao to support them, they were not put to use. They were only allowed to wander around the battlefield. Well, it allowed them to observe actual combat and indirectly let Wei know how powerful Xia Kunyu was.
Although we had no choice but to become a vassal state, don't think that we are soft persimmons! Hehe!
After this pacification, the Kunyu Kingdom ushered in peace. Well, it was not completely peaceful. At first, Tuyuhun wanted to unite the Kunyu Kingdom to fight against the Wei Kingdom, but everyone in the Kunyu Kingdom unanimously opposed it. Unable to win over them, Tuyuhun wanted to destroy them.
After conquering Kun Yuguo, he kept making small moves, but he was easily beaten back by Kun Yuguo.
Later, Tuoba Tao found out about it, and on the grounds that they were too idle, he increased his tribute for three years, which was a disguised move to deal with Tuyuhun and make them calm down. (To be continued)
