"Wang Mi, this poor guy!"

"Liu Yuan is also a poor man!"

On the post road, Chen Yougen became more and more angry as he thought about it, and whipped the prisoner with a whip.

The prisoners were beaten until they screamed, but they did not dare to resist.

"Coward!" Chen Yougen beat him again before letting the unfortunate prisoner go.

Shao Xun stood on the hillside and looked at the team slowly moving forward on the post road.

Prisoners, prisoners, prisoners...

Chariots and horses, chariots and horses, still chariots and horses...

"Fortunately, we only captured less than 6,000 people, otherwise we wouldn't be able to feed them." Shao Xun made a joke, but it was also true.

Liu Ling stood aside and lowered his head silently.

After he was captured, no one cared about him and he was left in the cold for several days. Moreover, because he was tall and burly, he was also shackled, and it was not convenient for him to eat, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

After a few days of grinding like this, the Luyang County Lord was finally willing to see him yesterday.

Without any hesitation, he immediately told everything he knew - without any torture.

The Duke of Luyang County asked him if he wanted to be a groom. He was overjoyed and agreed on the spot.

Therefore, he has now become an "honorable" groom, specializing in leading horses and pedaling or driving carriages for the Duke of Luyang County.

"King Kong slave, do you dare to go to Luoyang?" Shao Xun suddenly asked.

"Am I going alone?"

"Someone will go with you."

"Yes." Liu Ling agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Without further delay, let's set off immediately." After saying that, Shao Xun summoned a civil servant and a group of personal soldiers, and took Liu Ling to Liang County. Pei Kang then led the people to Luoyang to make a presentation to the emperor.

Inside story of the Huns.

After everyone arrived, Liu Ling bowed and turned to leave.

Shao Xun glanced at him.

This person is very interesting, very realistic, and can be called a model of a mother who has breasts.

Available, but not trusted.

Liu Ling is also very talkative and has a bit of humor when speaking.

He once mentioned to Shao Xun that Liu Yuan "discovered" a jade seal in the Fen River. There was a word on it: "There is a new guarantee for it."

It is said that it is the jade seal of Wang Mang, which is nonsense.

He also mentioned something widely circulated in Pingyang: Liu Yuan believed that one of his soldiers could be equal to ten. Of course, this was what Liu Yuan said when he was encouraging morale. There was a specific context, but most people would not distinguish it.

Just spread it everywhere.

"Now I see a crowd of more than 100,000 people, all of whom are ten of the Jin Dynasty. They march with drums and destroy the Jin Dynasty, just like Lakuer. The top can be the cause of Han Gao, and the bottom can be regarded as the Wei family." - This is what happened four or five years ago.

At that time, Liu Yuan's main force was still the five Xiongnu tribes, with more than 100,000 strong men.

Liu Ling tried his best to complain about Liu Yuan and said that he was worthless. After hearing this, Chen Yougen and other generals despised him.

After all, you were the monarch you once took refuge in. Once you change the family, you will harm others like this?

His character is too bad to be close to him.

"Captain." A messenger rushed over. After dismounting from a distance, he walked a few steps and handed an order to Tang Jian.

Shao Xun took it and looked at it, sneered and said, "I won't go!"

Tang Jian, Chen Yougen, Jin San and others all looked at him.

"The Emperor ordered me to go east to Baima to reinforce Wang Kan, Liu Qia, Wang Shiwen and others." Shao Xun explained.

"God is treating me like cattle and horses!" Chen Yougen was angry.

In this battle, the soldiers he led repeatedly fell into the enemy formation and suffered heavy casualties. They had just finished fighting Hongnong and were going to Baima again. This was because he wanted them to kill all the people bit by bit.

"Captain, you still have to respond properly." Tang Jian reminded him thoughtfully.

"Hmm..." Shao Xun thought for a moment and said, "Then let's ask a literary official to write a memorial. Let's think about the words. The main idea is that our unit is exhausted from long battles, has suffered heavy casualties, and is short of food and equipment. The sergeants are complaining.

My stomach is full, so it’s not advisable to move lightly.”

"Now we must stick to Yiyang and guard this road for the imperial court to prevent the Huns from raiding."

"One more thing, the Huns are already reorganizing their troops and will move south in October at the latest. The imperial court should be prepared to deal with it."

"These few items are enough. Let's do it this way. After writing it, send it to Luoyang."

"As ordered." Tang Jian immediately found someone to handle it.

Shao Xun shook his head. This was not the intention of the emperor, but an order issued by Sima Yue in the name of the emperor.

Are you kidding me?

No matter how strong your troops are, if you move them around and toss them around, they won't be able to exert much combat power in the end.

A bunch of insects, the structure is too small, and all they think about all day long is internal fighting.

The army returned to Yiyang in mid-September and stationed there to rest and recuperate.

At this time, Shao Xun suddenly received a gift: twenty horses and sixty female horses.

This was sent by Beigong Chun through a detour.

The reason is that last year Shao Xun selected some specialties from Yiyang and handed them over to angels to take to Liangzhou and give them to Zhang Gui.

In his heart, Zhang Gui has always regarded Yiyang as his real hometown, and he has a deep affection for it. After seeing the specialties of his hometown, he was very happy. This should be his return gift.

And the gift selection is quite thoughtful.

The mare was exactly what he needed urgently.

After several years of searching from various sources, the number of mares did not exceed 200, so we had to give them to each other, so we should have more than 200 horses.

The twenty horses have not been castrated yet. They are really interesting and can be used for breeding.

On September 16th, Shao Xun ordered Yiyang Sanwu to seize the time for autumn sowing.

He was planning to take a gamble, which also meant that he would not leave here easily. Sima Yue's plan was probably going to come to nothing.

****

News of Hongnong's great victory had long spread throughout the Luoshui River Valley. After learning that the army had returned, Du Yin rushed to Jinmenwu as soon as possible.

On the post road by the Luoshui River, groups of prisoners were walking forward dejectedly.

The Wubao commanders from Yiquanwu, Yanggongwu, Heshuiwu and other local Dawu forts all came and looked at the prisoners quietly without making any noise.

They even saw the Huns - you didn't need to hear their words, just look at their hairdresses.

This kind of realistic education is more effective than anything else.

Before the war, Ji Ji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai, who spent some money and food to strengthen his young men, had to give warnings to the left and threats to the right. What now?

"Ming Gong is a true divine man." Du Yin bowed deeply and sighed.

"Ming Gong uses troops to win every battle. In the evening, Ming Gong, the Huns have already stepped onto the Luoshui River and their troops are approaching Yiyang." Yang Huizan, the master of Yanggongwu said.

Everyone came forward one after another, and there was a flood of flattery.

Shao Xun chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the Xiongnu's forward was just repelled, it's not time to take it lightly."

"What? Will the Huns come again?" Wubao Shuai, who was impatient, asked in surprise.

Others also looked at each other.

Liu Han had more than 20,000 people captured and killed this time, so why did he still dare to come?

"Shao Taibai can't leave," someone shouted again.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone turned their attention.

Although many people think that the Duke of Luyang County is the spirit of Taibai Star descended to earth, few people say it in person. This guy is the first one in Yiyang to say so.

Maybe he himself thought these words were too shocking, so he smiled awkwardly and quietly hid behind him.

Shao Xun seemed not to have heard, and only said: "The Huns will come, don't doubt it. Either go to Yiyang, cross Xin'an, or go down to Hanoi. You still need to strengthen your troops, so don't take it lightly."

Du Yin and others exchanged glances, and they could all see each other's worries.

This worry is not because the Huns are coming, but because of the war.

The Xiongnu or Shao Xun occupied Yiyang. It didn't make much difference to them. They would both ask for money and food, and their young men would be strong.

It would be best if the Huns did not come, then there would be no war and they would not have to pay for food supplies.

"Ming Gong, I don't know about the Zhuwu tribe that was recruited before the war..." After exchanging glances, Du Yin asked on behalf of everyone.

"Do you still have a conscience?" Before Shao Xun could say anything, Chen Yougen's thunderous voice sounded out: "If the governor hadn't fought off the thieves, you would not only have to send money, food and young men, but also women and hostages.
To be continued...
