Chapter 1132 Changping County Lord 80
The words they shouted were: "God is good for life, and the army is about to arrive. Anyone who returns home will not be in trouble."
The army will not come, and they are busy elsewhere. But what did the Huns soldiers know? As soon as they heard that the army was coming, they immediately started talking among themselves.
No matter how far it is, the road is windy, rainy, and snowy. After all, we have been surrounded for more than two months, so the reinforcements should have reached it. The population of the Han Dynasty must be larger than that of the Xiongnu. Each county and county can have tens of thousands of people if they transfer 180 people.
The Han Dynasty is very face-saving. No matter how small Linyi County is, it is still its own territory and cannot be taken away easily. Sooner or later, troops will have to be sent to take it back. It has been so long, and sending troops when both sides are exhausted is most effective.
So it was passed around, and it seemed like it was becoming more and more likely. Even if Huxie Maodun flogged a few people who chewed their tongues on the spot, he still couldn't stop the discussion. On the contrary, being so angry made the matter more and more real.
Two days later, the spies reported that they found a large number of human footprints fifty miles away, as if a large army was approaching, but they could not find them for a while.
Then there was a rumor in the army that the army might hide and wait for the right time to rush over.
Two days later, I found a fire in the mountains in the distance.
Huxie Maodun sent people to investigate, and found traces of a large army stationed in the camp. There were hundreds of bonfires, which should have been lit in the camp for warmth.
At this time, many people were panicked and spread rumors that the enemy army was peeping in the dark, waiting for the right time to cooperate with the garrison in the city and attack in one fell swoop. They will be flanked and trapped in this area outside the city.
Although Huxie Maodun beat several commentators who were unlucky enough to be heard by him with whips and military sticks, he still couldn't stop the rumors from getting worse.
In the middle of the night, most of the Huns soldiers were tossing and turning. At midnight, I was about to start listening to Ma Qin who was either encouraging them to kill Huxie Maodun or was extremely miserable.
But when the sound came, they were all shocked. It was not the sound of the piano, but the sound of war drums. Not only were there sounds of war drums on the city walls, but there were also sounds behind them.
"Kill~" The soldiers in the city rushed out, their shouts of killing were deafening. The war drums in front and behind were beating loudly.
Unfortunately, the Han people counterattacked, and they were attacked from both sides... The Hun soldiers were so frightened that they rushed out of the camp and fled to the left and right.
Huxie Maodun also rushed out of the camp and saw the camp in chaos. Before the situation could be stabilized, a sack was pulled over his head.
"Help, help..." Hu Xie Maodun fainted after being hit hard on the back of his neck.
The soldiers in the city rushed halfway, but for some reason they turned back. After returning to the city, they closed the city gate, put on the door bolts as thick as their arms, and stopped all activities. Most of them went back to their tents to rest, leaving only a small number to guard the city gate.
The Huns soldiers fled in all directions and fled ten miles in one breath before they felt something was wrong. Why were there no pursuers behind them? But I didn't dare to go back. It was impossible to stay in the snow. Without shelter or a bonfire, I might freeze to death as soon as I closed my eyes. So they gathered together and slowly returned to the camp.
In the camp, except for the torches that were dropped when escaping, two Aobao were burned, and dozens of felt hats that fell down while escaping, there was no trace of the enemy.
It seemed like it was a trick. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and returned to Aobao, adding a few firewood to the bonfire and planning to continue sleeping.
There was really no way to fight this battle, but Huxie Maodun had such a temper that he couldn't give up. You can only hang out for one day. When the snow stops and spring comes, go home. I don’t know what’s going on at home now. I probably won’t starve to death, but there are so many cows and sheep freezing to death. But next year will definitely not be easy.
As soon as I lay down, someone shouted: "Where is the eldest prince? Where has the eldest prince gone?"
Huxie Maodun disappeared. He searched the entire military camp but couldn't find anyone. After daybreak, I went out to search and searched all the places where I had escaped yesterday. I still didn't see anyone, let alone a body.
That is... So a nobleman took a few Huns soldiers to the bottom of the city tower to shout. What they got was a sneer from the defenders on the city: "Your coach has disappeared, but he came to us to look for him. Could it be that he wants to surrender?"
"That's right, actually it doesn't matter if you don't surrender. Just go back to your hometown and nothing will happen. As a result, I have to stay here every day to eat the northwest wind."
"You'd better go and look for him on the left and right sides. Even though he's usually very tough-talking, we just beat the drums and shouted a few times, and he was so scared that he ran away."
"Maybe I'll just run away and go back to my hometown, hahaha..."
The cynicism on the tower made the Huns go back very angry.
I continued to look for it, but couldn't find it for three days. On the third day, I couldn't bear it anymore and sent someone to report the news to the Khan. After hesitating, he asked Uvida, the fourth prince at the south city gate, for help.
When Uvida heard the news, he was speechless for a moment; the same was true for the staff next to him. How could the eldest prince be gone? It’s not that he’s dead, but there’s no one alive, and he’s dead but there’s no body, it’s that he’s missing.
Uweida thought for a while and sent someone to deliver a message to the city to ask the head of Changping County if Huxie Maodun had been arrested.
Of course, he didn't ask directly, but rather implicitly asked if Huxie Maodun was at her place.
Xining looked at the bamboo slips, sneered, and wrote back: "I plan to blame this on me. I won't take the blame."
When he saw the reply, Uvida didn't understand what it meant to not take the blame.
The staff next to him thought for a while: "Then let someone take the blame and come over to take a look."
When the Huotou Army really came with a big pot on his back, Uvida immediately understood that he looked like a turtle. That is to say, Changping County Lord does not recognize it.
At this time, two or three carrier pigeons from the capital city flew back. The letter taken out of the bamboo tube was either a code word or a password.
When the translation came out, they all ran to the King of Han with great joy.
When the King of Han got the secret message, he couldn't believe his eyes. The news given by the two courtiers who entered the palace later made him believe it. The head of Changping County arrested Huxie Maodun!
Xining was sitting in the county lord's mansion, holding Tang Pozi in his arms and covered with a quilt: "Let him wake up!"
A dead soldier stepped forward, opened his bow to the left and right, and slapped Huxie Maodun several times while he was still unconscious. He also poured a glass of cold water on his face.
"Woooo~" Huxie Maodun suddenly woke up and saw a little girl in front of him who looked like a fairy. He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this should be the head of Changping County.
His anger suddenly exploded, and he struggled to jump up. Without a weapon, he used his hands to beat the county leader who had caused him so much suffering to death.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep since the bounty was placed on his life. I was in a daze all day, half asleep and half awake.
But the dead soldiers around him were all pressing down on him, preventing him from moving at all. And his body has been tied tightly with beef tendon ropes.
He opened his mouth to curse, but his mouth was sealed, so he couldn't curse at all.
