Chapter 39 You are also afraid

The Northern Prefecture Army quickly cleaned the battlefield, collected swords, guns, bows, arrows, weapons and war horses, and put the seriously injured Qin soldiers to end their pain.

Suddenly someone shouted: "There is another person in the grass, who looks like a high-ranking official."

The guards brought this person to Han Mu. The man was neatly armored and covered with a silver-white cloak. His hair was scattered on his face, his body was trembling, and he was muttering in his mouth that he couldn't see his face clearly.

Han Mu stretched out his sword sheath to lift his hair away, but saw a black charcoal-like face, beard and round eyes, as if Zhang Fei was alive. Who else would be there if it wasn't Deng Qiang?

However, the tiger eyes that were originally looking at each other and fearful, were now dull and dull.

"General Deng, we meet again." Han Mu smiled.

"...what to do?...what to do?" Deng Qiang had no response, but just trembled with his white lips.

Han Mu frowned and was about to ask again; the guard beside him said, "Master, this person is probably crazy. His eyes are already dull. This look is probably crazy."

Han Mu raised Deng Qiang's chin and looked at his eyes and expression carefully. Deng Qiang's eyes met Han Mu, but there was no response, and his eyes were empty.

Han Mu sighed and said, "Take him back to the city and take good care of him. Don't beat him up."

Everyone responded, the entire army had finished cleaning the battlefield and retreated back to the city in a mighty manner.

Han Mu's mood was not relaxed by annihilation of Qin soldiers. Deng Qiang's experience made him sigh. Once upon a time, a generation of famous generals who were powerful in the battlefield and were invincible in this way. His life situation was like a dream.

He traveled through time and changed from an ordinary young man in the 21st century to a link in the food chain of the powerful society where the strong prey on the weak. His hands were covered with blood, which he had never thought of. Unfortunately, this is the case in this world. If you don’t kill others, others will kill you. Just like today, if the city is broken, Han Mu and his family, more than tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Army, and tens of thousands of people in Chaohu City will not escape the massacre. The Hu people will go south and will slaughter the city. It has become a common practice since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. Similarly, it is common for the Jin army to slaughter the Hu people in the northern expedition.

In any case, this battle shocked the world. Without foreign aid, the 23,000 Northern Prefecture Army in Chaohu City successfully annihilated the invading enemies with the support of 40,000 people. The Qin soldiers increased their troops three times, from the 18,000 Qin soldiers who arrived at Chaohu City to the end of mobilizing a total of 43,000 troops, and the entire army was destroyed.

The main general Deng Qiang was captured, and all other generals were killed, losing 30,000 stones of food and grass, 14,000 war horses, and thousands of siege equipment; the Northern Prefecture Army was killed in battle, 6,000 injured, and more than a thousand people were killed and injured.

The two sides lingered under Chaohu City for more than ten days, and finally ended with the victory of the Northern Prefecture Army. As the saying goes, the thunder chariot born in this battle influenced the direction of the war. The commander Han Mu also played his extremely skillful commanding ability. Since his return, the Northern Prefecture Army only killed 2,000 people. It has to be said that the commander's ability is the key to winning this battle.

The soldiers of the Northern Palace were famous all over the world in this battle, and the Northern Palace soldiers had reason to be happy; more than 5,000 war horses were seized in this battle, and two thousand injured war horses were just used to cultivate fields. The weapons, armor and shields were piled up in the warehouse, and Liang Jinchun and Yuan Gang couldn't stop talking.

Chaohu City was full of joy. Even though so many people were killed, the joy of the aftermath of the disaster still swept away all the sadness. The soldiers enjoyed this heroic cheer, and all of them were straightened and their chests were folded, looking very energetic.

Han Mu rode silently on the horse with a cold face and said nothing. He seemed to turn a blind eye to the cheers of the whole city. In the eyes of the people, this was a cool and handsome expression, but Xie An and the girls in the family knew that he had something to do.

In the Magistrate's Mansion, Han Mu took a bath for a long time and scrubbed the blood on his body. Deng Qiang's dull eyes flashed in his mind, which could not be removed.

After the dinner, Han Mu lay down early. He did not go to any of his wife's rooms and told Ye'er and Qing'er to blow out the candlelight. After closing the doors and windows, he lay in the dark with his eyes open and wondering what he was thinking.

The cheers and laughter in the city came faintly, as if they had nothing to do with him.

The door opened silently, and a scent of orchids filled with orchids. In the dark space, this familiar and unique fragrance was only available to Xie Daoyuan.

A warm little hand stroked Han Mu's forehead, and a low sigh sounded in the dark night, with a hint of pity and blame.

"Han Mu, Han Mu..." Xie Daoyuan called his name softly,

Han Mu was silent.

"I know what you are thinking? Are you feeling guilty for killing too many people?" Xie Daoyun sighed and said softly.

"You should understand the principle of the prevalence of the weak in this life. Remember that you had told us before that big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp? Why do you have to be upset about this? These are all forced by the situation. No one can accuse you of bloodthirsty and cruelty."

"Some people kill people because they are bloodthirsty, and they enjoy it, or they are for the sake of fighting for power and profit; while you kill people to protect more innocent civilians, so you are doing good deeds when you kill people, not doing evil. You understand these principles if I don't say them."

Xie Daoyun gently persuaded Han Mu, and his little hand gently stroked Han Mu's face. Han Mu sat up and reached out to hug her in his arms, buried his head in her soft chest and sighed: "Sister Yun, do you see Deng Qiang's appearance? I'm afraid that one day I will become his appearance. I'm afraid... I'm really scared."

Xie Daoyun smiled and pointed at his forehead and said, "You are afraid of it too. I thought you were just a demon king who was not afraid of heaven or earth."

Han Mu said seriously, "I'm afraid I can't hold back and control myself. I'll go further and further along this road and lose myself in the end. Do you know? Today I was in Phoenix Valley, watching the Qin soldiers kill each other, and suddenly I feel that they are not human at all. I feel that they are just a group of ants, a group of lowly ants who can kill at will. Are you scary? I feel like I feel cold sweat when I think about it now."

Xie Daoyun chuckled and kissed him gently on his lips: "If your tens of thousands of soldiers knew that Han Shuai, who was regarded as gods, had such weak times. Keeping them in mind, they would drop their chins in surprise, and then the whole city would be full of chins."

"Sister Yun, what I say is all the inner words. These words can't be said to anyone, they can only be said to you, it's not a joke." Han Mu pretended to be angry.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you a little bit." Xie Daoyun held him in her chest like a child and said clearly: "I like to read Buddhist scriptures when I have nothing to do. The Buddha said: All living beings are all sentient beings in the world. Except for the ignorant and unconscious existences of mountains, stones, earth and wood, other people, animals, ants, insects, etc. can be called sentient beings. It's very right to look at those people like ants, which means you have Buddha eyes; Buddhism calls themselves skins for their bodies, and the most precious thing for people is the spirit and soul in the skin, and the most worthy of people is also his soul. I have heard of the battle of Phoenix Mountain today. Those Qin soldiers killed each other for their own destiny, and have long thrown the essence of the souls such as solar terms, dignity, benevolence and righteousness, and their bodies have long been empty. Such people are not worthy of your guilt at all. Do you understand?"

Han Mu was moved when he listened to her soft explanation. This explanation was far-fetched, but Xie Daoyun took great pains to enlighten herself, which shows how important her position in her mind was, and she felt an explosive sense of happiness. She filled her heart.

"Sister Yun, thank you for everything you did for me. What will Han Mu use to repay you?" Han Mu said affectionately.

"Silly, why should you give me back? Do you still need such words between you and me?"

"Of course, because..."

"What's the reason?" Xie Daoyun was a little surprised.

"Because you are not mine yet, I haven't got all of you..."

"Bah, are you thinking about this all day long?" Xie Daoyuan blushed. As soon as this guy's thoughts were gone, the horse became cute again.

"I don't want these things to you, do you think of other women?"

"You... can think of the Su Hui in Chang'an City, Qin State, "The most tender and gentle" poem, "Xie Daoyuan said mischievously.

"Okay, this girl Tongyun's mouth is like a carriage, and she can't hold it back." Han Mu said angrily.

"Hmph... I blame others for being fickle."

Han Mu hugged Xie Daoyun into the quilt and said, "Sister Yun, today's victory is great, and all the people celebrate together. Sister Yun wants to reward me, and I won't let you go no matter what tonight."

Xie Daoyun struggled the only way, Han Mu's arms were strong and powerful, and he knew that he could not escape. He suddenly laughed and said, "Since I came, I will be at ease. Before I came, I knew I could not leave this room tonight."

This sentence is more effective than any aphrodisiac drug. Han Mu was overjoyed. The fairy was finally about to get it. After a little surprised, he chewed it without hesitation.

The spring night in February is so intoxicating, and it is so sweet in the dark. It is slightly panting, and the red waves are pouring out, and the fragrance is full of sweat.

It started to rain outside, and sweet raindrops moistened the dry earth and cleansed the smell of blood in the air; there was also spring rain in the Hanmu Mansion of Chaohu City, and the fallen leaves were silent.

Forget it, I can't write it explicitly. I can't blame the lessons of the past again. I understand it.
