The wine ran out and the flask fell to the ground. The bear saw black blood coming from his mouth and nose, and the goshawk turned his head. Canghu's silent tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Why?" Yun Xiao asked weakly.

"He made such a big mistake, if Master Hou can forgive him. Someone will follow suit, if everybody follows suit. Our great royal city ......"

"How can I be worthy of the bear's blood."

"Lord Hou......"

"Forget it, the dead are gone! Buried it! The woman is handed over to you, and you can do whatever you want. Ben Hou only has one sentence, don't let her die comfortably. ”

"No!" Canghu's eyes suddenly shot a devouring gaze, and at this moment he really looked like a tiger.

In the quiet dungeon, Canghu looked at Masako, who had been stripped naked, as if he were looking at a fan of pork. It was this woman who bewitched her nephew. The tiger had to poison the bear with his own hands.

"I know you want to die, but unfortunately you can't. Hou Ye has instructed you not to let you walk too comfortably. Canghu has followed Hou Ye for many years, and has never disappointed Hou Ye. This time is no exception. ”

Like a tiger circling around its prey, the tiger circled around Masako. Poor Masako is tied to a wooden shelf, and her two pink nipples are already burned. On the snow-white body, there were whip marks one after another. The bright red wound resembles a child's mouth, revealing bright red muscles.

Some of the wounds were no longer bleeding, only a faint yellow fluid flowed out.

Masako's eyes were tightly closed, and if it weren't for the fact that there was still a stir between her noses. She is no different from a dead man.

"I know you didn't pass out, so many wounds on your body must be painful. Rest assured, I won't let you die. Canghu lifted Masako's beautiful chin with one hand. This girl has a standard melon seed face, a very pointed chin, and a very attractive skin.

"Kill me." Masako's voice was weak, and the torture she had just taken up too much of her physical strength. I don't know why, but being beaten actually consumes physical strength. Neither Canghu nor Masako knew the reason for this.

"Nope. No way. As I said, this is the order of the Hou Ye. Canghu has never disappointed Hou Ye. Like an old cat playing with mice, Canghu stroked Masako's cheek.

"With so many wounds on your body, it must be red, swollen and infected. You'll be dead then, don't worry I have a good idea. The tiger scooped up a scoop of salt water.

"There is salt in this water, and the Hou Ye said that the salt water can kill the thing called bacteria. It's too esoteric to understand. But what Hou Ye said must be correct. Let me help you kill the bacteria. After Canghu finished speaking, a scoop of cold salt water poured down Masako's head.

"Ah......h Masako's screams erupted from her throat, even though her body was tied tightly with hemp rope. But the slender body still burst out with incredible energy, and the sturdy wooden stake was carried back and forth by her. Every muscle in his body was throbbing, shaking like a breeze blowing across the water.

Her body spasmed violently until her mouth opened wide. No more sound came from his mouth, and he stopped moving as soon as his head drooped.

I touched Masako's heart and felt the faint beat. Canghu's eyes shot a cruel gaze, "Carry her down and ask someone to heal her." Don't let her die. Lao Tzu swore that she would suffer a hundred days of sin. ”

"No!" Two tiger and wolf-like Yun family guards rushed up and untied the hemp rope on Masako's body. Carrying Masako, who was dying, he walked to the cell.

Everywhere there are busy farmers, who are busy in the fields with their hats. The joy of the harvest seems to have diluted the impact of some of the bear incidents. Yun Xiao wanted to go out of the city to see the harvest of the crops, but Canghu insisted on mobilizing a thousand soldiers and horses. surrounded Yun Xiao three layers inside and three layers outside, and Yun Xiao was so angry that he shook his hand and returned to the palace.

Dai Yu rushed back from Dongying as soon as possible, and there were more than 3,000 people with him. looked like he had come to find fault and fight, and he had just landed in Busan and was scolded back by Yun Xiao.

The natives of Dawang City, who are about to move, are ready to see the joke. But I watched it for nearly a month. only to find that everything was in order, and nothing happened. In addition to Canghu's governor's mansion, there are often women's sharp screams. It's business as usual in the Great King City.

"Master Hou, the news that Chang'an has turned over." Canghu's face was a little anxious, as if there was something urgent.

Yun Xiao took the flying pigeon from Canglan, "The Xiongnu invaded south and plundered Donghu. The short eight words surprised Yun Xiao.

"When will the news come back?" Yun Xiao asked Canghu eagerly.

"Just now! It is estimated that Chang'an has just received the news and notified us. Presumably, he had already informed Batuu quickly. There are too many falcons on the grassland, and there are no flying pigeons. ”

"Drumming, it just so happened that Dai Yu was also back. Council of the Palace, let them prepare the sand table. Damn, there's no stopping. Yun Xiao gritted his teeth, this has just stopped for less than a year. Then they started to make noise again. The trouble in the south is over in the north.

The Huns, presumably, reaped great benefits from last year's victory, after a year of digestion. It has been transformed into the driving force of the war, but why are they targeting Donghu? Yun Xiao frowned and thought.

There were twenty or thirty chief guards in the council hall, but only Dai Yu, Canghu, and Qi Tie took the lead. Compared to the scene where the generals gathered in the past, it seems to be a little withered.

"Putting aside a lot of nonsense, the Huns are planning a southern invasion. The target is Donghu, what do you think? Let's talk about it. Yun Xiao still didn't understand why the Huns had just finished cultivating and recuperating and then attacked Donghu. It stands to reason that they should attack the Han lands, which are also nomads. The Huns did not take much advantage in front of the Donghu people.

Moreover, these old Batu trained a well-equipped cavalry in Donghu, numbering 20,000 or 30,000 people. Such a huge cavalry force, even if the Huns ate it. I'm afraid that a few molars will also be broken.

"Master Hou, will this be a plan of the Huns. Leaky Wind told us that they were going to attack Donghu, but in fact they attacked the Han Realm, and last year they took a big advantage in Youbeiping. More than 200,000 people were plundered, and there were countless cattle, sheep and goods. Canghu said with some concern.

"It's unlikely that this will happen, if it's a big deal. They will definitely say that the attack on Youbeiping continues, and the defense of where the Han army is has not yet been restored. Through Youbeiping, we can plunder the four counties of Liaodong, if we prepare in Liaodong. They will attack Donghu, so that even if we arrive without stopping. I'm afraid it will be at least a month later, when Zhangye may have been looted. ”

"No, Zhangye City is strong. It is categorically not going to be breached in such a short time, is there something wrong with Donghu. The Huns just want to take advantage of the situation? Strong fortresses are often the easiest to attack from within. ”

"Perhaps it is because Donghu has accumulated strength over the years, and the Huns think that they will threaten the hegemony of the Huns in the steppe. That's how it ......"

The generals spoke one after another, as if everyone was right. Yun Xiao was a little confused, in the final analysis, it was caused by too far away and no information.

"What is the situation of the Han army along the Great Wall?" Yun Xiao stretched out his hand to stop the noise of the generals.

"After the Battle of Right Beiping last year, the Han border was almost looted. With the exception of a few who fled into the mountains, the people, property and livestock were almost completely plundered.

The Han army almost withdrew from Youbeiping, relying only on the Great Wall left behind by the Yan State for defense. During this year, Li Guang was strengthening this defensive line, and it seemed that the imperial court had no idea of restoring Youbeiping.

As for the other garrisons along the Great Wall, after the wheat harvest. The imperial court began a large-scale recruitment of troops again, and his subordinates knew about it. The number of Han troops along the Great Wall has reached nearly 500,000, which is already the largest number that the imperial court can afford. If the Huns want to cross the Great Wall, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult. ”

Canghu has always been in charge of the Yun family's intelligence, so he knows a lot about the situation of the Han army. Yun Xiao asked, and Canghu began to talk endlessly. In the meantime, he also held a long pole and gestured on the sand table.

Yun Xiao nodded, giving Canghu an approving look. In this way, the Huns must have felt that it was not cost-effective to attack the Han border. Youbeiping has become a piece of rubble, and they can't grab anything if they want to.

As for the line along the Great Wall, the tiger also said. The Han army was well arranged, and there were many of them. Neither the attack on Shuofang nor the Hetao Yunzhong will have a good result. Zhongxingyue is a shrewd strategist, and he must have also seen the development of the Donghu people.

The Donghu people, unlike the Han Chinese, are semi-nomadic. No matter how developed the Han people, it was just farming. Since cultivation is inseparable from the land, the Huns are not afraid of the Han people. Because the land can't be moved.

But the Donghu people are different, they not only grow cotton melons and fruits, but also do business. What's more, they also have a significant number of people who depend on herding for their livelihoods.

With huge material support, the Donghu people will have the Huns fighting for pastures. They are all nomads, and they are the real threat to the Huns. The Han people would not go to the steppe to fight the Huns, but the Donghu people would.

Zhongxingyue must have seen such a sign, and tried to unite with some old nobles of Donghu before persuading Yi Zhixian to launch this attack. Yun Xiao synthesized the remarks of the generals and quickly figured out the clue.

"Master Hou, then how should we deal with it now."

The flying pigeon sent a message to Canglan, asking him to quickly send someone to remind Donghu of the original nobles. Qi Tie was right, the fortress is the easiest to attack from the inside. Remove the men who guard the gates, and all the city defenses must be guarded by reliable men. It has nothing to do with the army, all of them are out of the city to set up defenses.

In addition, we need to mobilize. Dawangcheng is still the home of Canghu, Dai Yu, you guard Dongying. Transfer that courtyard jun to me, and add Qi Tie. Lao Tzu led 10,000 men and went to beat him again. It seems that they haven't fought the Huns all these years, and they have forgotten the pain a little. ”

"Master Hou, you are still recuperating in Dawang City. Let the last general fight. Dai Yu stood up and pleaded. (To be continued......)
