Shu Blossoms

Chapter 121
"My son, it's all the fault of my humble position. I can't save my son from fire and water, but I can't ignore the lives of a hundred thousand soldiers just because of the safety of one of us!"

The man in black is Xu Ling. He failed to complete the two tasks entrusted by the lord, and has no face to live in the world. Xu Ling turned to look at the soldiers who were holding up long knives and was ready to rush forward, and shouted at them. rushed over.

The soldier thought he was going to run away, and immediately stabbed him with the long knife in his hand. Xu Ling ran into him without any dodge.

At the critical moment, one hand grabbed Xu Ling's back collar, and then pulled his arm back forcefully, Xu Ling was dragged back a step, away from the tip of the knife.

Xu Ling glared at the person behind him angrily, and Yue Hua gave her a bright smile, "Boy, I just don't like you traitors, I don't want to follow your wishes, this general who wants to die just let him live well, look Who will have the last laugh, those who want to live will never see the rising sun of tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, Yue Hua waved his hands and swished a few times, and the rest of them fell to the ground instantly, and blood slowly flowed down the terrain.

Liu Yuan, Zheng Heng and the others silently backed up a few steps and avoided them.

Although I am used to seeing blood on the battlefield, I still don't want to let myself be contaminated.

At this time, another soldier ran up, cupped his fists at Wang Can, and Yue Hua reported: "Zhong Shu Ling, General, the remaining 190 infiltrating rebels have been wiped out!"

After hearing this, Xu fell to the ground instantly. Xie Sheng laughed at himself, and at the end, he didn't know what he thought of, so he burst out laughing!

"Rebel! Rebel?"

Xie Sheng raised his head and slowly glanced at everyone present, and said in a hoarse voice: "I, the Xie family of Chen Jun, were also the heroes of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I followed the late emperor to expand the territory and made great military exploits. I will protect your Majesty now." Ascension to the throne, all the way trembling like walking on thin ice, there must be some credit for this great Zhou Jiangshan!"

"Just because the four auxiliary ministers abolished the former prince who was greedy for pleasure and did not think about making progress, His Majesty has been jealous and excluded! The blood in front of Fu's family is still wet. How dare I, Xie, turn a blind eye? Apart from conspiracy , Has Your Majesty left any other way out for Xie's family?"

Xie Sheng knew that there was no way out, so fortunately he said it happily!

"Fart!" Yue Hua let out a 'bah', exhausting Xie Cheng's self-pity, grievance and resentment, "Don't be so innocent as you said, are you deposing, the first prince just arrived in the fief Then he was killed, who had such a great ability at that time, you also know it in your heart?"

"Speaking of which, no matter how powerful the auxiliary minister is, he is still a minister! A minister can kill the prince of a country, but why can't the king kill a minister who has the heart of disobedience?"

"In the end, it's just cats eating mice, and wolves eating cats! It's all for the benefit of my own one-third of an acre of land. It's all about winners and losers. Why should I be so grandiose here!"

Xie Sheng choked, dissatisfied on the face, but didn't know how to refute for a while!
But Yue Hua didn't want to listen to his nonsense any more, so he waved his hand and asked people to take him and Xu Ling down.

Jiankang City temporarily calmed down, but a war was about to break out in Nanruyin, hundreds of miles away.

Xie Hui's 5000-strong grain transport army went to Nanruyin tonight and was supposed to rest there, but received an urgent order from Xie Hui to rush to the outside of Jiankang City before tomorrow night.

After a short rest and some dry food, they rushed all the way through the night. If everything goes well, they should be able to arrive before dark tomorrow.

The general who was in charge of escorting the food and grass looked up at the bright starry sky, and he was thankful that the weather was beautiful and there was no wind or rain in the past two days, which made their journey much smoother.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers were very cold and tired. After thinking about it, the general ordered to light a fire in the open space ahead to keep warm, and to rest temporarily for half an hour.

What he didn't know was that there was a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people running far behind them.

The cavalry was also resting at this time, but they didn't light a fire, they just leaned on their mounts and closed their eyes to rest silently.

"Report!"

After a while, a scout got off his horse and bowed his fists to the cavalry leader: "General Han, my subordinates have found out that the food transport team ahead belongs to Xie Hui's rebels."

General Han, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, was naturally Han Shidi, the eldest son of the Han family who was supposed to fight side by side with General Han in Yanzhou and Zhongzhou.

Han Shidi smiled slightly, and looked at the people around him, "The luck of the Han family is always good, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!"

The man smiled brightly when he heard the words, "The general was joking, can good luck be a bad thing?"

"But this Xie Hui is also unlucky. The food transporter has hit us in the mouth. How can he spit it out. It can only be said that God will not help him!"

Several other young generals also looked at Han Shidi excitedly, and asked for a fight: "General, let's fight!"

"General, grab those grains, enough for us soldiers to feed for a month!"

Han Shidi pondered for a moment, then looked up at the crowd, "Naturally we will fight! Cut off Xie Hui's transportation route, and most of the crisis in Jiankang City will be solved! It's just that this battle must be resolved quickly!"

"Keep the food if you can, and burn it if you can't! Sun Li, if the food is not destroyed, you will take your people under your command to distribute the food to the people nearby, in the name of Your Majesty!"

The young generals were a little puzzled, and when they were about to argue, Han Shidi didn't give them a chance, and immediately ordered the army to be reorganized, and the food transport army must be wiped out as soon as possible.

Ten thousand cavalrymen annihilating five thousand grain transport soldiers is naturally as easy as picking something out of a bag, but within half an hour, the entire grain transport army was wiped out, and the bones of 5000 people were all over the sky, and the suburbs of Nanruyin County became chaos overnight. Funeral post!

Han Shidi lowered his eyes and didn't know what to think. Before leaving, he told Sun Li, "Let's go first, and you will bring people to distribute the food to the people and come quickly!"

Sun Li took the order, and Han Shidi added, "If you can entrust the common people to bury the bodies of these people!"

After finishing speaking, he rode away first.

The soldiers behind Sun Li were puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Brother Sun, what's wrong with the general? You don't look very happy!"

"It's just sad for the rabbit to die and the fox!"

Sun Li looked at the back of Han Shidi leaving, sighed, turned around and led the people to escort the grain truck to the nearby village.

The people in the nearby villages heard countless horseshoes in the middle of the night, thinking that another army was coming to arrest people as soldiers, and hid one after another. There were even ten-year-old boys who secretly ran over the wall and ran back to the mountain, trying to hide in the mountain Avoid the limelight.

But when they fled to the middle of the mountain, they didn't hear the movement of arresting people. Looking down from the top, the whole village was still quiet. They no longer fled to the mountain. After all, there are wild beasts in the mountain that have been hungry for a long time!

They didn't return home quietly until they watched the cavalry leave from a distance against the faintly bright sky!
After entering the house, they found a bag in the middle of the yard. They hurriedly opened it to see that the bag was full of corn.

"There is food!" "There is food!"

We can't starve to death for a while!

The people who got the food ran out of the door one after another, knelt and kowtowed in the direction of the cavalry!
"It was the emperor who heard that our village was full of mess and sent someone to bring it to us!"

"My lord, the emperor, lives forever!"

At dawn, these common people spontaneously helped to bury those thousands of people in the pit in the back mountain, forming a huge grave.

They thought that these people were soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the same as the soldiers who delivered food to them, so they respectfully named their large cemetery—Benefactor’s Tomb!
