The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1228 Depends on How You Clean Up
Liu Yin was originally a calm and prudent person, his emotions and anger were invisible, but now with the growth of age and the respect of his status, he has become more and more introverted, and he rarely gets angry.

But today Liu Yin was really angry. Liu Yin had heard about the cruelty of the Xianbei people for a long time, but hearing it with his own ears now made Liu Yin furious.

Burning, killing, and looting are already outrageous, but the beasts of the Xianbei people are far more than that. For the 30 million girls and children who were forcibly taken away, Liu Yin naturally knows their ultimate tragic fate.

During the Eight Kings Rebellion in history, Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, led the Xianbei people into the pass. After capturing Yecheng, he robbed tens of thousands of girls. At the time of the river, there were still 8000 people who hadn't finished eating, and they were all thrown into the Yishui River and drowned, even the Yishui River stopped flowing.

Furthermore, during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, after Ran Min destroyed Zhao, he rescued [-] girls who were kept in captivity by Jie people. Later, Ran Min was defeated by Murong Xianbei, Yecheng fell, and these [-] girls were held by Murong Xianbei for another winter. After eating everything, the corpses piled up like a mountain.

These atrocities committed by the Xianbei people are not accidental. In fact, whether it is the Huns or the Huns such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang, Di, and Jie, after they entered the Central Plains, they basically followed the policy of burning, killing, They don't even need to bring army rations, just by eating people, they can solve the army's food and grass supply.

When he was in the Shangdang, Liu Yin was extremely resentful of the Jie people who had cannibalistic atrocities, and carried out a retaliatory massacre on them. Most of the Jie people died under the sword of the Han army, and their species was almost extinct.

Liu Yin couldn't rub a grain of sand into his eyes. The Xianbei people were brutal, so he naturally couldn't just sit idly by. He immediately ordered that the Sixth Army should pursue them from all sides, and they must be killed before the Xianbei people escaped from Youzhou. intercept it.Save as much as you can.

Originally for this march, the Han army has always maintained a strategy of slowing down and advancing step by step. The daily march did not exceed forty miles, especially after entering Youzhou, in order to guard against the sneak attack of the Xianbei people, the Han army even more. The whole army is heavily guarded.

But I didn't expect that the Xianbei people were completely scared by the Han army, let alone a sneak attack. When they heard that the Han army entered, they were already terrified and fled.

At this moment, the Sixth Cavalry Army received Liu Yin's order, asking them to march at full speed immediately, chase down the fleeing Xianbei and rescue the captive Han people.

It stands to reason that the distance between them is relatively long, and the Xianbei people acted ahead of time. Even if the cavalry of the Han army advanced at full speed, they might not be able to catch up with the Xianbei people.

However, the Xianbei escorted a large number of Han girls and children, and they had to destroy and set fires along the way, which greatly slowed their progress. When they reached Youbeiping County, they were finally overtaken by the cavalry of the Han army. up.

The cavalry of the Han army attacked aggressively and launched a fierce attack on the broken Xianbei army.

Wu Hai, who was in charge of the rear end, immediately reported to Murong Shegui, which immediately caused a lot of commotion among the Xianbei army.

Murong Shegui couldn't help shaking his head, he didn't expect the Han army to come so fast, and within a few days, they chased after him.

"Father Khan, at this moment, only by giving up these two-legged sheep can we get rid of the pursuit of the Han cavalry." Murong Tuyuhun put forward his own opinion.

Murong Shegui also had a dignified look on his face. He also knew that as long as they gave up these Han slaves, their army could march in lightly and escape.But now, due to the large number of Han people being escorted, the speed of the march has been hindered. Judging from the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to escape the pursuit of the Han army without giving up the Han prisoners.

The policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wild and scorched earth was a strategy personally arranged by Murong Shegui, but he did not expect that the Xianbei army had just completed half of the implementation and came to Youbeiping County, but was overtaken by the cavalry of the Han army. The Han army is as strong as ever. Marching in the middle did not suffer the slightest delay.

Murong Tuyuhun's suggestion seems to represent the views of most of the Xianbei army. If they continue to escort these two-legged sheep, there is no way to escape the pursuit of the Han army.

"Let them go? Wouldn't that be cheap for them? It would be better to kill them all or drown them all. Wouldn't it be better?" Murong Xin continued.

Murong Xin's proposal immediately attracted voices of support. Letting go of these Han people for no reason is undoubtedly unbalanced in their hearts. Since they can't take them away, they should kill them all. It can be regarded as venting their hatred. Can the mighty Han army not be able to kill these powerless Han people?

This proposal quickly received responses from countless people, and some Xianbei generals were already ready to make a move.

"No!" Murong Shegui raised his hand to stop him.

Murong Xin and the other generals all looked astonished, when did Murong Shegui become so benevolent?
"Han people are as cheap as pigs and dogs, so why should Father Khan feel sorry for them?"

Murong Shegui smiled slightly, and said: "Xin'er, when have you ever seen your father's kindness and softness? Letting go of these Han people is a father's deliberation. Killing them can certainly vent your anger for a while, but it won't help. If these Han people were left to Liu Yin, the more than 20 people would be more than 20 mouths. Now Youzhou is a piece of scorched earth. Liu Yin must have limited military rations when he comes here. Let him feed the more than 20 people Man, I want to see how he will clean up this mess?"

Only then did Murong Xin and the others suddenly realize that they even claimed that Murong She returned to this plan as a clever plan. Handing over 30 to 30 people to Liu Yin was like giving Liu Yin a huge burden. For those who eat less, it is definitely a heavy burden to feed [-] million people.

Murongxin said with some concern: "If Liu Yin's army is extremely hungry, how can they know that they won't eat these two-legged sheep. They are really unwilling to let them be so delicious." After saying that, Murongxin slammed his mouth, It seems to be recalling the delicious taste.

Murong Shegui sneered and said, "I really want him to eat, but I want to see what these Han people who claim to be saints look like when they are very hungry."

The Xianbei people abandoned the Han people and rode away, and these Han people made a mess and blocked the pursuit route of the Han army. When Luo Shang and others chased here, they could only stop the pursuit. First appease the people, and immediately reported to Liu Yin.

The army of the Xianbei continued to wreak havoc, setting fire to everything that could be destroyed. Whether it was a city or a village, wherever they went, there was nothing but scorched earth.
