Looking at the meandering team of mules and horses, Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly. When he originally encouraged the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce to participate in the extermination of the Yue people, many people were reluctant, including Cui Jiuming. But in just three days in the Minyue Royal City,
, everyone's attitude has changed drastically. Just looking at the mules and horses carrying cargo heavier than their own weight, and having no other choice but to die of exhaustion on this trip, you know how much profit can be made.
Cui Jiuming's horses were also let out to hump things, so the big fat man could only walk back on foot. Holding Su Ren's hand, Cui Jiuming shook his body fat: "Zi Heng, please this time, can you do more
If we resist for a while, we can go further, and we must not let the Yue people catch up."
Su Ren smiled and said: "It's useless to talk to me. You should go to Li Sima. He is the front line to stop the Yue people from approaching you. They only have two thousand soldiers and horses. I don't know how long they can hold out."
"Ah! You didn't tell me earlier!" He threw Su Ren away and quickly chased his team, his body of fat was particularly cumbersome.
Huo Jin looked into the distance: "Brother, can Shi Bao do it? He was only given a thousand people. There are twenty thousand prisoners and civilians, not counting more captured along the way. If those Yue people cause trouble, a thousand people may be difficult to handle."
Han Shuo nodded: "The young general is right, we are just attracting Yue people this time, but we can send more people to Shi Bao."
"It's okay. The Yue people have been scared out of their wits by us. There won't be any trouble. Even if something happens, Shi Bao knows how to deal with it. Don't those caravans still have some guards? You should worry about our affairs. It won't take long before Wu Zhu
The army will come back soon, are you ready?"
Hawking chuckled and said, "Brother, don't worry, everything is in place. I'm afraid Wu Zhu won't come back!"
"That's good, let's do it!"
With an order, a group of cavalry rushed into the Minyue King's City with torches. Not long after, a fire broke out. Although the air was humid, the Minyue King's City had been built for so many years, and the nearby vegetation had almost been cut down. No matter how humid the air was, it would still be there.
Down three points. Above the flames are billowing black smoke rising into the sky, which can be seen clearly from more than ten miles away.
Su Ren sighed: "When Xiang Yu burned Afang Palace, everyone in the world said that Xiang Yu had done an eternal wrong. Today we burned the Minyue King's City. I don't know if future generations will say that I, Su Ren, destroyed the Yue people.
Foundation?”
Han said: "Chang Shi has completely eliminated the thoughts of the Yue people and allowed them to live a good life in our Han Dynasty. How can Xiang Yu compare?"
Su Ren smiled bitterly: "It's all the same, except that Xiang Yu broke the hearts of people in the world who want to be king and hegemon. I don't have the courage of King Xiang, so I can only break the hearts of the common people."
The fire burned bigger and bigger, and the entire royal city was enveloped in a sea of fire. The wind direction changed, and the choking smell of smoke drifted towards Su Ren. Several people quickly turned their horses and ran away. Although the fire could not
It will burn for three days and three nights, and it won't be reduced until at least tomorrow morning. One day and one night is enough to burn this place to a white ground.
Yu Shan was riding a horse and chatting with the Prime Minister while walking, surrounded by people. He turned his head and glanced at the inconspicuous carriage behind him. Lying inside was the King of Minyue, Wu Zhu. From that day on, Wu Zhu did not say a word again.
, he kept his eyes open all day long and remained motionless, so alive that he might as well have been dead. The maid drank water when he was given one, and did not make a sound all day long if he was not given a drink.
"Prime Minister, don't you think your father's health is feeling better? You don't seem to be coughing anymore lately?"
The Prime Minister also looked back, smiled and shook his head: "It's hard to say, it's actually more painful to die."
Someone with sharp eyes saw the column of black smoke reaching the sky in front of them from a distance, and shouted in panic: "Look, what's going on over there?"
Soon, the Pioneer Battalion sent someone to report. The place on fire was the Royal City, and the black smoke came from the Royal City. Wu Zhu slapped him on the thigh: "Damn it, the Han people are evil! Send the order, speed up, before dark
We must rush to the royal city!"
The Prime Minister closed his eyes: "The Han people are so cruel! They are trying to break the roots of our Minyue people!"
"How do you say this? As long as I defeat the Han people and take back the royal city and the people, we will still be the country of Minyue."
"It's not that simple!" The Prime Minister sighed: "The royal city was built by the king after all the efforts of Minyue, and it is the symbol of Minyue. Now that the royal city is destroyed, the Minyue Kingdom no longer exists. Even if we recapture the royal city, what will happen again?
What's the difference? The people's hearts are dead and any small country can defeat us, so why bother the Han people?"
"My prince has tens of thousands of troops. Is it possible that they are all fools?"
"Prince, if the old minister's prediction is correct, the Han people must have been prepared. If we leave in such a hurry, we will definitely fall into the Han people's tricks."
"Then what should we do? No more revenge, and the people and the royal city don't want it anymore?"
The Prime Minister shook his head: "My intention is to change course immediately, find another place to recuperate, and wait until the world changes drastically before learning from our ancestors. In this way, there is still a glimmer of hope."
"You! What nonsense are you talking about? Our ancestors were forced by the situation back then. Now the Han people have few soldiers, why can't they give it a try?"
"prince!"
"My prince has made up his mind, and I will make the Han people pay for their debts with blood, and I will never survive!"
Wu Zhu rode his horse and left the Prime Minister behind to sigh.
Su Ren thought fresh lychees were very good and had long forgotten the warning not to eat too much. In the past three days, he had almost eaten all the lychee trees. The plump flesh, tender and juicy, tasted extremely sweet when eaten in his mouth. There were a lot of them in front of him.
Hawking just picked them all in the afternoon. The leaves are green and the lychees are red. The more I look at them, the more I like them. The more I like them, the more I can't stop talking.
After eating one, he resisted the urge to take another. Su Ren waved his hand: "Old Huang, take it away quickly. If you don't take it away, I still want to eat it. It's not good to eat too much of this!"
Huang Shisan picked up the plate and threw it out the door. Su Ren was dumbfounded: "You, this is how you handle it?"
Huang Shisan nodded: "If you don't eat it, throw it away. It doesn't mean it's gone!"
"Hey! What a waste of a good thing."
"You said you don't want to eat. Don't let you see it."
"Okay, I can't explain it to you. Clean it up quickly. Don't let Xiao Jinzi see it, otherwise he will be angry."
Just as he was talking, Hawking came. He saw the lychees all over the yard and frowned: "Who is it? I worked so hard to pick them. Don't throw them away if you don't want to eat them!"
Su Ren quickly winked at Huang Shisan and shouted out the door: "Xiao Jinzi, why did Captain Han ask you to come here? Is someone from Yue coming?"
Huo Jin came in with a bunch of thrown lychees and said while eating: "Well! The scouts have already found out that Wu Zhu saw that we burned the royal city and are rushing over. They are expected to arrive at dusk today."
Su Ren nodded: "Are you ready?"
Hawking smiled: "Don't worry, brother, everything is ready, I will let those guys have a drink."
"How many people came? But all of them?"
Hawking shook his head and said: "About 10,000 people. The rest are missing. Colonel Han guessed that they went to Crouching Tiger Ridge."
"That's right. If you want to intercept the people who have been robbed by us, it is most convenient to pass through Crouching Tiger Ridge. If Brother Li can hold off the Yue people for two days, Lao Cui and the others can pass through smoothly. But their number is too small. In fact,
Don't worry."
"We have already sent someone to deliver a message to Brother Wei. It will arrive tomorrow night at the latest. Brother Li only needs to persist for one day. It shouldn't be a problem."
"We'll see if Xi Ai will take the opportunity to intervene! King Xi Ai is a man who must avenge himself. If he can attack the Fujian and Yue people from behind, we will have a greater chance of winning." Su Ren took a sip of water: "Don't
After eating, go back and prepare quickly. No matter whether the Western attack comes or not, let's do our own thing. Your mission is not to hold back Wu Zhu's army, but to annihilate it. We are smaller than others, so we should learn more from Colonel Han."
Hawking nodded, threw down half a bunch of lychees, and wiped his hands on his clothes: "I know!" As soon as he walked out of the door, he turned back and looked at Huang Shisan: "Old Huang, next time when big brother wants to pick lychees, you can climb a tree.
, I have put so much effort into letting you waste it like this?"
"Get out of here, don't worry about Lao Huang, I'm the one who threw it away!"
Yu Shan personally led the army to gallop all the way, and it was about to arrive at the Royal City. It was getting dark. The rangers who were probing around sent back news one after another. No Han army was found around the Royal City. The Royal City was like a dead city, without any life.
Yu Shan was overjoyed and ordered the cavalry of the vanguard battalion to deploy immediately and arrive at the foot of the royal city before dark.
Hawking was lying in the grass, holding a piece of weed in his mouth, enduring the mosquitoes flying in the sky, looking at the groups of cavalry passing by, wishing he could rush out now to kill. Han said that his hand was always on Hawking's shoulder.
, to be on guard against this kid suddenly acting up and ruining the plan.
After the cavalry passed, they arrived at the Chinese army. The team of more than 10,000 people continued in an endless stream and did not finish for a long time. Hawking gritted his teeth and said: "Colonel Han, is that all right?"
Han Shuo shook his head: "Wait a minute, have you seen that carriage? As soon as the explosion stops, your mission is to rush over and catch the people inside!"
"Who could that old carriage be?"
Han said with a smile: "Although the carriage is broken, there are many guards, so it should be Wu Zhu's fault!"
Hawking nodded: "I understand, don't worry!"
More and more people came down the slope, walking faster and faster. The people in front were a little slower, so there was a congestion. Ten thousand soldiers and horses were crowded into a pile within a radius of only a hundred steps. Han Shuo slowly raised his arms,
It fell suddenly. The soldiers on the side kept watching Han Shuo's movements. When Han Shuo's arm fell, the flint sparked and ignited the medicine twister beside him.
"Chichi..." A series of long sounds spread out.
Wu Zhu seemed to smell something, his nose twitched twice, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly said to the maid beside him: "Don't be afraid, everything will pass."
"Boom! Boom!..."
Continuous explosions exploded in the crowd of Vietnamese soldiers. The rapidly rotating stones and iron blocks were distributed in a fan shape. One after another, they exploded from the east to the west. Within a hundred steps, there were a hundred explosions.
Suddenly, the sound shook the sky, and the air waves swept the soldiers up high, and then fell heavily. Screams, shouts, and painful cries were heard. This is the Shura field, it is hell. (To be continued)
