Chapter 200: The cunning Fan Zeng
The bitter north wind was blowing like a knife, and fine snowflakes were floating in the sky. The grasslands are no longer dry yellow, replaced by snow all over the sky. For some reason, the light reflected from the snow falling on the grassland turned red. Some are demonic, some are weird, and there is a hint of anxiety and gore. Walking in such weather, people seem to have entered a chaotic world.
Captain Zuo waved his horsewhip and drove the horse fast. Both men and horses have white air in their nostrils, and it is dangerous to ride a horse like this in such weather. The ground was as hard as a stone, and if a horse fell, the knight on the horse would shoot out like a cannonball. A fracture of a tendon is the best outcome, and if you fall and can't take care of yourself, it's worse than death.
He couldn't help but run like this, because it was too urgent. In front of the camp of the Chinese people, I saw black spots standing in the snow from a distance. At the gate of the camp hung two bare-striped fellows, whipped all over their bodies. The scars were an eerie purple color against the snow. One by one, it hangs on people's bodies, and it looks shocking.
The two guys drifted with the north wind, like cucumbers on the seedlings of melons in summer. As soon as Captain Zuo closed his eyes, it was finally too late. In such weather, even the most powerful people have to be frozen into popsicles. It's over, and it seems that you need to find someone to contact King Qin again. These two people are dead, so they won't say anything!
Judging by the scars on their bodies, it probably won't. These are all people who are loyal to the King of Qin, and their mouths should be very hard. Doesn't it mean that King Qin is surrounded by dead soldiers, these two people should be the legendary dead soldiers......!
By the time he hurried to the camp gate, the two bodies had already been thrown into the campfire. Big drops of corpse oil are "ticking" on the fire along the heels. The orange-red tongue of fire was on fire, and wisps of blue fire and earthy yellow smoke came out. A large column of smoke evaporated, and then was torn into pieces by the cold wind, dissipating between heaven and earth. It won't be long before two big living people will be turned into shriveled, charred corpses. Then, it will turn into a handful of ashes, which will be scattered by the cold wind on the grassland. Human life is nothing but a man!
There were dozens of samurai standing like nails at the gate of the camp, and the military discipline of the Pingliang Army was strict. The snow fell on the black armor, frozen into ice, and no one dared to move. However, people's warm equipment is indeed good, and everyone's helmet has a layer of fleece lining. There are also two ear protectors on the ears to ensure that the ears will not be frozen off during the coldest winter months.
The hand holding the handle of the knife was wearing thick cotton gloves, and the index finger was still sticking out alone. Warmth and flexibility at the same time. Not to mention, underneath the iron armor is a thick cotton shirt and cotton pants. On his feet were wool felt boots stuffed with thick cotton insoles. Each person has N pairs of insoles and new insoles are changed every day.
Captain Zuo shook his head when he looked at these warriors, and many Hun nobles couldn't afford to buy this equipment. Not to mention the priceless Yun family armor, even cotton clothes and cotton pants are expensive to death. Five cows have a cotton coat, four cows have a cotton pants, and not all of them can afford it.
However, Captain Zuo had to admit that cotton clothes and cotton pants were worn on his body. In addition to being warm, the biggest benefit is lightness. Especially for an elderly person like him, as long as he wears the Hun leather robe that will be stupid and heavy, he hates it.
After getting off the warhorse, Captain Zuo once again looked at the two corpses whose eyes were already on fire. It's over, it's completely hopeless.
Zhi Xiao held the hilt of the knife in his hand tightly, ready to meet the enemy at any time. Although Fan Zeng said that the Huns would never do anything, he was still as nervous as a cat that saw a dog.
The current Zhi Xiao is also a colonel, for a demoted general. This kind of treatment is already very rare, and he used to be in charge of the training of the people's army with Qi Guoyuan.
In the battle of Naitoushan and Alexander, the Pingliang army suffered heavy losses. A large number of front-line commanders were killed and returned to Pingliang to recuperate. Many reserve officers have entered active duty and become active duty officers. Wei Fang is commanding the Pingliang Army to carry out the largest rectification and clean his wounds as soon as possible. Become a hungry wolf on the prairie again!
A hand was placed on Zhi Xiao's shoulder, and Fan Zeng's voice came from behind him. "Don't be nervous, the Huns won't do it. They are the wolves of the steppe, and the wolves will observe before they attack their prey! As long as the prey appears nervous and vigilant, they will seize the opportunity to attack. Because, only the weak will be nervous. As soon as something happens, it becomes a frightened bird. ”
These literati will sing high-pitched songs, this is Zhi Xiao's evaluation of Fan Zeng. But there is no way, Fan Zeng is the envoy of this mission. And he is Fan Zeng's subordinate, according to Pingliang's military system, Fan Zeng is now the commander of their regiment. As the head of the regiment, Zhi Xiao naturally had to listen to Fan Zeng.
"Captain Zuo, why are you here for such a heavy snowfall today. Hurry up and sit in the house, there's a goulash with potatoes tonight. Come in and have a drink to warm up! Fan Zeng won enthusiastically, and gave Captain Zuo a salute with his hand on his chest. These days, in the Huns, the etiquette of the Huns has been fully learned.
"Mr. Fan Zeng, you are the envoy of Pingliang Hou. But you are also a guest of Da Shan Yu, and only Da Shan Yu has the power to kill and kill in this grassland. How can you put human traffickers to death without permission? Captain Zuo pointed to the corpse that was burning in the flames and said angrily.
"Captain Zuo, they are Chinese!" Fan Zeng quibbled with a wicked smile.
"The Chinese people on the grassland must also listen to the orders of Da Dan Yu and respect the laws of my Great Huns." Captain Zuo was already roaring, and the two people killed by Fan Zeng were the key people sent by the King of Qin to negotiate with the Huns. Now that the conditions have not been negotiated, the envoy actually asked Fan Zeng to kill. That's good, it can mean a lot of benefits.
Fan Zeng smiled and said in his heart, "You Huns still have laws? It's just a grassland barbarian, your legal loopholes, Lao Tzu can drive a cart and run in it.
"Captain Zuo, Hun Law Fan Zeng has also heard of some. Isn't it just to kill a Chinese man and compensate two cows? These two people were ordered to be whipped by my Fan Zeng, so how about paying a big single for four cows? Come and bring four oxen. Fan Zeng turned to Zhi Xiao beside him.
"This ......!" Zuo Daduwei was speechless for a while, and there was indeed this article in the Hun law. But this is the law for the Huns to kill the Chinese people, and there is no provision in the law of the Chinese people killing the Chinese people. (To be continued.) )
