Chapter 1129 Changping County Lord 77
Wang Laoliu drank, and then was given a set of thick cotton clothes, which he immediately put on.
Not only that, but also a cotton cloak.
Although the cotton-padded clothes and coat will have to be returned later, as long as enough time is given, the cotton-padded clothes can be given to them.
Wang Laoliu was wearing a big cloak and followed the others up to the tower.
The wind above the tower was much stronger than that below. Looking over, the Huns' camp was about a mile away. From the tower, you can clearly see the fire there. If you have a good eye, you can even see patrolling people walking in neat lines in the camp.
In the middle of the tower, there is a "man" standing upright. He was wearing armor, but he had been hit by several arrows. It is said that it was General Zhang who surrendered without a fight and tried to abandon the city and escape. He was the commander of the city defense at the border.
After being killed by the county lord, he erected it here. The county lord asked him to see if he could hold the city!
It has been more than a month now. Not only has the city not been broken, but two to three thousand enemies have been killed, which dampened the Xiongnu's spirit.
The Xiongnu couldn't do it, so they came up with such a vicious method.
Think about it, fortunately the county lord is here to guard the city. If the city gate is opened, the people in the city may end up like those unlucky Han people. Even if he doesn't die, he will still live a life worse than a pig or a dog.
The wind here is very strong, but the wine I drank just now and the covering of my body made my whole body warm.
The sergeant shouted: "Listen to my order. As soon as you start, shout out what the county chief wrote and let the little thief Huxie Maodun listen carefully. Do you hear it?"
"Okay!" Everyone roared in unison, causing the snow on several old trees outside the city to fall down.
When the time came, the sergeant gave the order: "Shout!"
So eight people stood in a row and started shouting: "Whoever kills Huxie Maodun will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, a hundred households, an official residence, and three beauties!"
This voice traveled through the night and into the wind, and went straight to the Huns camp, shouting over and over again.
Xun Liao, who was fully clothed and lying on the army bed, simply admired the county leader to death. The county leader only had a small town with 300 households, but he immediately said that he would seal off 100 households. Choose the big one to brag about this bull!
When the voices started to sound a little hoarse, the next batch came in and continued shouting. Those who had been replaced were given pear juice to soothe their throats and sat down to rest. When they were tired from the shouting, they went up to shout again.
They kept shouting like this for half an hour, and then someone changed to play the maqin. It’s really a combination of work and rest. If you get tired of listening, play some music.
Xining and the people in the city slept well, but there was no peace in the Huns camp. Many people suffered from insomnia.
"Reward a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, seal a hundred households, grant an official residence, reward three beauties..." Even though it was quiet at this time, this voice echoed in the ears over and over again like a magic spell. Plus the sound of the maqin, how can you sleep?
They come out to fight for nothing more than money. A thousand taels of silver and a hundred taels of gold, that's quite a lot of wealth.
Even if he doesn't become an official, he still has enough money to live comfortably in the Central Plains for a lifetime.
There is actually a house and a beautiful woman! If betrayed, the family will inevitably be implicated, with the wife and children bearing the brunt.
But with money and beautiful women, what do these mean? Originally, the Huns regarded women as private property. When they ran out of money, they would throw their wives to their creditors. If they had money, they would redeem them, or they would not redeem them and just buy another one. You can kill a woman immediately. You must know that Han women are different from the Huns women who herd cattle and horses all year round and can carry a sheep. They are both watery and delicate. Beautiful men and women can only be owned by nobles, and the price is extremely high! If you give three at once, where can you find such good things?
Even if the child is killed, he can still be born. If you have a woman and money, are you still worried about not having children?
If Huxie Maodun is killed, then the prosperity and wealth in the next life will be guaranteed!
It is said that the emperor of the Han Dynasty promised that whoever killed King Xiang would be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. As a result, after King Xiang died, the soldiers came forward to snatch the body, and five soldiers each grabbed a piece.
The 10,000 households were divided into five parts, with each person having 2,000 households.
The soldier who snatched a leg was granted the title of Marquis of Qianhu, and he soared to great heights from then on. More than a hundred years have passed, and the family is still prosperous, and most of the descendants are still serving in the court. As for the other four soldiers, their families also prospered for a while.
If I could really kill Huxie Maodun...
On the second day, everyone in the Huns camp became more and more listless.
Huxie Maodun was so angry that he continued to fly into a rage. He originally thought that humiliating and killing the Han people outside the city gate would boost their morale, but instead he came out with such a shout in the middle of the night.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting from the city tower with a loud voice: "Whoever kills Huxie Maodun will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, a hundred households, an official residence, and three beauties! Come and see, this is a reward The silver is all the best treasury silver... And this gold, all shiny and golden, is real gold, from the treasury of the Han Kingdom..."
Looking over, several messengers were shouting, and there were two boxes next to them, one containing gold and the other containing silver. There are also a few soldiers who hold up the horseshoe gold and copper silver from time to time, and even grab one with each hand, hitting each other and making a crisp sound.
There is really gold and silver. Many Huns soldiers’ eyes are red and their hearts are moved. This evil thought...
Even gold and silver have been prepared for you, so naturally beauties have to be prepared too!
At this time, more than a dozen young beauties in dance costumes danced to the sound of silk and bamboo on the tower. Beautiful dance, graceful figure...
At this time, in order to keep out the cold, several soldiers began to drink. While drinking, they shouted: "Good wine, go get some meat, good wine, good meat... take a sip, ha... just drink, there are a lot of them here." ..."That's so lively.
Dahan is such a great place, it has everything. There is gold and silver, beautiful women, food and drink, everything is available. Originally, they wanted to break in and steal everything, but now the city is simply unbreakable.
Those who died first were piled up at the city gate, piled high, and the city gate was blocked.
From time to time, a hand that was burnt dry and blackened stretched out, with snow on it. Just like an old tree, it stretches like this.
If they were beaten, their corpses might be piled on top to make up for the fresh ones.
Now the Huns' heart is even more itchy!
That night, Huxie Maodun couldn't sleep. There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes all around, all looking at him greedily.
He did not believe in ghosts. The Huns feared gods and the spirits of the dead would rise into the sky. How could ghosts roam the world? But he is afraid of death. Now his life is valuable. As long as he dies and takes his head, or even just a piece of whatever, he can have money, a house, an official, and a woman.
I tossed and turned on the soft wool mattress and couldn't fall asleep. This Changping County Lord was really cruel!
If you really can’t sleep, then you won’t sleep. Hu Xie Mao suddenly got up, took the air knife and walked out of the big tent to practice martial arts. He was sweating and fell asleep when he was tired!
