Chapter 298 What is the purpose of Buddhism?
Puff—
A bunch of hot blood splattered, a head flew up, and Liu's body fell to the ground, and the blood in his neck flowed, invading a large area of white snow.
His head was cut off with one knife, and he flew out of the air three steps away, then he fell heavily into the snow and rolled forward. When his head stopped, he was facing his mother's body.
From the time the soldier draws his sword to the ground, in just a blink of an eye, it is said that after the person's head is cut off instantly, the person will not die immediately. Liu still had a smirk on his face, he was confused, but there was a hint of viciousness at the corner of his eyes.
"Hmph, I'm asking for a knife, just to hold the Marquis hostage. You made a good plan..." The soldier quickly stepped forward, bent down and sneered at his head.
Until this time, Liu's pupils finally froze. He remained vicious and unwilling before his death. It was obvious that the soldiers guessed it correctly. He did not want to dig a grave for his mother, but used it to kill him.
Han Yue's face looked unpredictable, and he said lightly: "Pull down the wilderness of the corpse, clean up the blood on the ground, so as not to be afraid when Xue'er wakes up later."
"Get orders!" The soldier bowed and kicked Liu's head away. Then he walked to the fire to pick up the headless corpse, dragged it on the ground and quickly left.
Several other soldiers came over next to him, carefully and clearly put blood on the ground. In order to cover it up, they almost removed the snow on the entire ground. The Marquis said that the young lady would not see the blood after she woke up later, otherwise she would feel scared.
Hannu who was kneeling around him was trembling. Although the weather was cold and cold, many people were sweating on their foreheads. Han Yue looked indifferent. He waved his hand and said lightly: "Pull it all, I don't want to see them again. You can set off overnight."
This was said without any brainstorm. The Han slaves looked at each other, but the soldiers knew what to do. Not long after Han Yue's order was issued, he heard the loud shouts of soldiers everywhere in the mountains and forests. Batches of Han slaves were gathered and then escorted to the forest.
There were 150,000 Han slaves, and the total number of them was 130,000 to 140,000, while Han Yue's troops were only 13,000, of which 5,000 were cavalry and 8,000 were infantrymen in the new conquest.
There are still 3,000 troops left, so there are only 10,000 soldiers used to escort.
Ten thousand soldiers escorted 130,000 to 40,000 Han slaves, which was not even a 10-to-1 ratio. However, the Han slaves did not dare to resist at all and lined up in a long line and walked obediently in the snow.
The Jiapigou Gold Mine is a hundred miles away from Shenyang City, but 120 miles away. Now it is the cold and freezing season, and the roads are frozen and hard to walk. These Han slaves need to walk at least three days.
Han Yue only gave them a hundred trucks of food, which could barely be eaten for three days. If they could not reach within three days, many Han slaves would go hungry.
This is punishment and revenge, and Han Yue did not have a trace of pity in his heart.
The middle-aged Han slaves were escorted away, leaving less than 20,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the mountains and forests. Many children were obediently lying in the arms of the elderly and did not dare to speak out. The elderly were also silent, for fear of causing the big man to get angry and kill them.
Suddenly, a heavy footstep sound came from the forest, rumbling, as if many people were walking, but a figure flashed, and there was only one person coming out.
This guy is not someone else, but Liu Heishi, who was ordered to hunt bears. He dragged a giant bear with both hands, and there was a faint heat on his forehead.
What a fat giant bear, it is estimated that it is over 100 pounds. Liu Heishi is worthy of being born with divine power. He can also drag such a big bear.
The left-behind soldiers swallowed quietly. These people were veterans who first followed Han Yue to build a market outside the pass. Many people had eaten wild game that Han Yue personally grilled. Now, seeing this old bear, I was so greedy that I was drooling.
Several clever people rushed forward and helped Liu Heishi drag the bear together. While dragging, he said: "General Liu is powerful. He hunts the giant bear alone and can be called the Marquis's first powerful general under the marquis' account."
"Ah hahaha, I, Old Liu, walked around the mountains and forests for a long time, and found five old bears who were lazy to sleep. Only this one was the fattest. I went up to knock on the bear cave, but the beast didn't give me any face. I got angry and sent it to the King of Hell with two hammers..."
"Five old bears?" Several soldiers looked at each other, their eyes flashed with excitement, and they said with saliva: "General Liu, why don't you beg the Marquis, allow us to hunt the remaining four old bears again, and everyone will have a good meal tonight."
Their voice was low and they kept instigating Liu Heishi, but Liu Heishi was not good at using his brain. He grinned and said, "I, Old Liu, I will beg you now, let's catch all the old bears in the whole forest."
"General Liu is mighty. When you beg the marquis later, you will say that the old, weak, sick and disabled need some meat, hehe..."
Han Yue sighed, and he felt helpless when he had a group of subordinates. He knew that his internal strength was strong and his voice could be heard no matter how small he spoke, and it was obvious that he took the opportunity to ask for it.
Even Yuchi Baolin swallowed her saliva and smiled with a saliva: "Mr. Marquis, we are coming out to do business this time. The soldiers bring not much food. Do you want to order the soldiers to search for mountains and forests and hunt more wild game? Hehehe, you don't need to take care of the food. We roast wild game ourselves, just give me some secret seasoning medicine."
Han Yue rolled his eyes helplessly and waved his hand: "Go and go, the barbecue conference will be held tonight. If you can't hunt ten old bears, plus a few jackals, tigers and leopards, be careful that this marquis will let you all eat snow."
Yuchi Baolin hurriedly bowed, and the soldiers in the distance cheered, and a group of people rushed into the forest, and many wild beasts were probably in trouble tonight.
The only one who didn't move was Li Chong. This guy was finally no longer sent to guard the city gate. His loyalty to Han Yue became more and more firm. He held a knife to protect the fire, watched the soldiers rush into the mountains and forests, and suddenly whispered: "Marty, the matter of Han slaves has been resolved now. What should I do about the affairs of Buddhism? The subordinates received a message saying that the group of monks were heading west, and the target seemed to be in the direction of Yanmen Pass..."
Han Yue was slightly stunned and pondered: "Now there is a generation of garrisons in Yanmen Pass. The person who led the troops is Li Jing, the Duke of Wei. Could this group of monks go to Yanmen Pass to help Li Jing attack the Turks in order to make achievements?"
Li Chong said carefully: "Mr. Marquis, my subordinates once heard from Duke Cheng that Li Jing had said bad things about you on some important occasions. For example, when His Majesty promised you to be the Lord of Bohai, Li Jing wrote a letter to oppose this matter."
Han Yue didn't think much and said lightly: "He is a famous general of a generation and has his own secrets in his heart. Maybe he feels that this marquis is still young, so he opposes His Majesty giving me the important task."
"My Marquis, are you stupid..." Li Chong smiled bitterly in his heart. He had already said it thoroughly, but Han Yue didn't hear it. The guy thought about it and gritted his teeth and said, "Marquis, I heard that Li Jing and the prince are very close!"
Han Yue was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Is it so early? Li Chengqian gathered Li Jing and Hou Junji, it seemed that it only happened in the sixth year of Zhenguan..."
His voice was soft, Li Chong didn't hear it clearly for a while, and couldn't help asking, "What did you say, Marquis?"
Han Yue suddenly woke up and waved his hand, "I was inspired and said nothing. Please help Liu Heishi to take care of the black bear. This marquis wants to barbecue yourself. Xueer wakes up and feeds her to eat later."
Li Chong agreed and left with doubt. He muttered while walking, as if he was secretly hating himself, but he didn't even hear clearly what the marquis said just now.
Han Yue watched him leave and slowly fell into deep thought.
"Is it because I traveled through time that I changed the small historical pattern?" He murmured, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't think of Chu's answer. He shook his head helplessly, put down this doubt and left no longer caring about it.
According to historical records, Li Jing and Hou Junji were indeed the prince's sect, but the time they defected to Li Chengqian was in the sixth year of Zhenguan, and now it is only January of the fourth year of Zhenguan.
From beginning to end, Han Yue did not understand what Li Chong meant. The former leader of the Hundred Cavalry was hinting that Buddhists were likely to surrender to the prince. If the prince was strong, Han Yue would be weak. Li Chong actually wanted Han Yue to send someone to intercept and kill the group of Buddhist monks.
Unfortunately, Han Yue still doesn't know his identity, so he cannot understand Li Chong's hint.
Li Chong ran to the black bear, sighed helplessly, and drew his sword and slashed at the black bear. Liu Heishi next to him was very unhappy, and he widened his eyes and shouted: "Can you find fault? You can chop such good wild game with a knife, and you won't be allowed to eat it after baking it later..."
"Idiot, I know how to eat!" Li Chong angrily, rushed into the forest with a big knife in his hand, and said angrily: "I'll go hunting myself, so as not to see your face."
Liu Heishi grinned and said proudly: "You can't find a nest for the bear to sleep."
In fact, he didn't know that Li Chong was not looking for Xiong at all, but Yuchi Baolin and Li Fenghua, wanting to discuss how to persuade Han Yue.
It was already ten days late at night, and the forests were getting colder and colder. Three thousand soldiers spent half an hour sweeping and hunting countless beasts and game, including more than ten old bears, seven or eight tigers, and countless pheasants with robes. They were piled up into a hill.
Han Yue was really a little scared. According to this approach, it would probably take a short time for this forest to break the roots. Not to mention a black bear or a tiger, it would be hard to see even a rabbit.
"It seems that we have to develop animal husbandry quickly..." Han Yue held Xiao Yaya, who was renamed Han Xue, and looked up at the sky, thinking deeply in his heart, vaguely feeling that it was inappropriate for him to always think about developing industry.
People in this era like meat and go hunting when they want to eat meat. No matter how big the mountains and forests are, they can't withstand this practice.
He was tilting his head to ponder, and suddenly Li Fenghua came over quietly and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, when we were sweeping the mountains and forests, we found an old acquaintance. Unfortunately, this man's martial arts skills were too high and he disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye. He felt that the other party's purpose was impure. You have to be careful in the past few days..."
Han Yue was stunned and said curiously: "Old acquaintance, who is it?"
"Buddhist, Qingyue!" Li Fenghua looked solemn. He covered his waist with his hands, as if there was a wound there.
Han Yue's eyes flashed and he murmured: "Li Chong just told me that Buddhism is heading towards Yanmen Pass, why does this Qingyue appear here?"
What is this female nun’s purpose, or what is the purpose of Buddhism…
