Chapter 1131 Changping County Lord 79
There is news: Huxie Maodun failed to fight, and several Han people were cooked and eaten. The head of Changping County rewarded the King of Han with gold and silver as a reward, and was assassinated in the middle of the night. After investigation, several suspects were killed.
When the King of Han and his courtiers learned about this, they were overjoyed.
The Lord of Changping County had the foresight to defend and not attack! At present, Yanmen and Wuning are also facing each other. The Xiongnu cannot attack for a long time and suffers heavy casualties. They dare not act rashly.
If we persist for another month, when the snow stops falling, the ice melts, and the grass grows again, all crises will naturally be resolved.
The King of Han immediately issued a decree: "Anyone who can kill the commander will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, a hundred households, and an official residence."
Isn't it just money? You must know that the current daily military requirements are more than a thousand taels of silver. If this move can shake the enemy's military morale, why not do it. But the king of Han could not say anything about rewarding beauties.
But it would be more attractive to reward beautiful women, so the issue of whether to give beautiful women as gifts was divided into two groups and they were in a stalemate.
Finally, a court official came out to salute: "In fact, the matter of rewarding beauties can be decided by the general guarding the gate."
That's right, the King of Han didn't say it, but the generals guarding the pass can say it. The Lord of Changping County just made the decision without authorization and promised to reward beautiful women. The effect was immediate and very good.
The King of Han immediately promised: "If you are outside, you will not accept your order. This matter is decided by the general guarding the gate."
The king was understated, but after the message was passed, he understood it immediately. The Lord of Changping County rewards beauties, which has a good effect. If you don't follow it and the effect is not good, isn't it because you are wrong?
Seven days later, the imperial edict reached the border, and the two commanders understood it very much. The messengers were asked to go up to the city tower and shout that in addition to what the King of Han had promised, Yanmen had added three beauties and Wuning had added four beauties.
Uvida naturally knew about this, and at this time he had another news coming.
Everything was well with his tribe, and his father Khan's tribe and the tribes of several uncles were also well settled.
A new batch of moso bamboo, felt and fodder arrived from Changping County.
Therefore, some people in his military camp said that the princess of Changping County was a fairy, and the two wells she connected could transport everything thousands of miles away.
But he knew that in the past six months, merchant ships and caravans had been continuously transporting items into the city. She bought a street of shops, built two large and one small granary, and bought several vacant lots to store goods.
At that time, he really couldn't figure out how the county owner could store so much goods. These quantities had long exceeded the county's consumption for several years, and it would take about ten years to consume them all. But now he knows that it seems that Changping County Lord has been doing business at a loss, but in fact he has saved the entire city. This amount of money is simply a drop in the bucket for a war.
But she used her own strength to save the city at all costs.
When I heard that Huxie Maodun was stabbed, I felt funny. Sure enough, it is better not to provoke this Changping County Lord. You will know from the first time you deal with him that he is not a good person.
Every time Huxie Maodun made a move, she would respond with even more cruel moves. Now Huxie Maodun was in serious trouble, and people wanted to put a reward on his life by name. Can you still sleep well tonight?
Huxie Maodun really couldn't sleep well, not at all.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he would dream of a large group of people wearing Xiongnu uniforms and their faces covered with black cloth, holding up husks and slashing at him.
Sometimes he would reach out and pull away the black cloth on the face of one of them, and what would be revealed would be either a blurry face or a scary ghost-like face. That face was no longer a human face, it was a monster!
Every time he was hit or saw the other person's face, he would wake up with a fright, and would scream when he woke up. When the man watching outside the tent heard the noise and ran in quickly, he was startled again.
After waking up, I couldn't fall asleep again. I tossed and turned until dawn, no matter whether I opened my eyes or closed my eyes. During the day, I still couldn't sleep, and even when I went back to sleep, I dreamed of being assassinated.
Within two days, Hu Xie Mao Dun looked completely out of shape. He had two dark circles under his eyes and his face became extremely pale.
In that case, find a way to fall asleep. He called a woman to enter the account, drank requiem soup before going to bed, put the knife beside the bed, and asked his close associates to keep vigil outside the account. Finally can sleep!
But accidents still happen, and within two nights I had another dream. While shouting, his cronies ran in to check. In the fear of being silent in his dream, he pulled out a knife and chopped the person.
When you wake up, it will be a big mistake!
After Xining heard about it, he couldn't help but be happy. This common man actually performed the trick of killing people in his dream more than two to three hundred years earlier than Cao Cao. It's a pity that the Xiongnu didn't give a generous burial, and I don't know if they would have cried bitterly and said "I like to kill people in my dreams" when handling the corpses of their cronies.
He killed all his cronies, and now the morale of the army was even more dispirited. It has been two months and the city still cannot be captured.
There is no shortage of supplies in the city. If it had been in the past, after two months of siege, people would have started to eat people, "Yi Zi eats each other". But now the city is peaceful and there is no such news at all.
It is said that anyone from a seventy-year-old woman to a five- or six-year-old child who can work will be given food and meat every day according to the intensity of the work. If you don’t want food and meat, you can still receive winter necessities such as cotton clothes, cotton shoes, quilts, charcoal, and even wine.
As for them, they had nothing but frozen beef and mutton. Even the war horses had to be killed before they starved to death due to lack of feed, so that they could get more meat.
When will such a miserable life end? When will spring come?
Xi Ning's life is not bad at all. Anyway, she eats well, sleeps well, and goes back to the house to take a bath every week. On weekdays, I just read a book and hold Tang Pozi in my arms to reminisce about the past. Deal with urgent and important matters; when calling supplies, pick up the pen and make a note.
Look at several warehouses with two-thirds of their contents removed, as well as the granary. When the task is completed, I hope the King of Han can reward me with something, otherwise the owner will probably become the poorest county princess!
Looking at the map hanging in the big tent, she sighed and began to think about the final task.
When spring comes, the Huns army will withdraw to the grassland. There are large armies in Yanmen and Wuning, and it is very likely that the Xiongnu army will take a detour to join Linyi County. At that time, it is very possible to carry out a robbery, break into the city, grab some, and then go back.
If the King of Han had not thought of sending troops here, her end might have been the same, just three months too late.
We can't sit back and wait for death, we must think of a way.
Then find a way to set another fire in the enemy camp and drive that guy completely crazy.
In the middle of the night, the ordering soldiers drank half a bowl of wine, put on thick cotton cloaks, walked up to the tower, and began to do their daily homework to inspire the soldiers' morale.
The Hun soldiers lying on the ground and covered with sheepskins could vaguely hear the sounds coming from the tower.
One person pushed the other person: "Hey, the words you shouted today seem to have changed!"
The man listened carefully: "It has indeed changed."
