Chapter 18: The Cannibal Army
The Huns have never been in the habit of keeping their hands in fights, otherwise they would not have the magnificent pyramid of human heads in the barracks. Luan Bu's face was gloomy, and he could see that this was a very protective guy, although the matter was caused by his grandson.
"Grandpa, they're going to kill me."
Luan Xu said breathlessly. Just now, he ran to the death, otherwise he would have been cut into meat sauce by the strong Huns.
"Shut up."
Luan Bu glanced sideways at his uncompetitive grandson, if it wasn't for the eldest grandson of the long house. I'm afraid a big ear scraper has already been fanned.
"Yunhou, my family Xu'er just ate a piece of meat, so there is no need to shout and kill like this." Luan Bu aimed at Yun Xiao with his eyes, but his feet were not in order, ready to retreat at any time. He couldn't guarantee what these arrogant soldiers would do. On both sides of the road outside the camp gate were Han soldiers.
Yun Xiao was also very embarrassed, he hadn't figured out how to deal with the current problem. In the midst of the dilemma, suddenly there was a commotion outside the camp gate.
"What's the matter, go check it out."
The goshawk got Yun Xiao's order and ran to the camp gate to check. After a while, he ran back.
"Master Hou, it's the Xuanzhi captain from Chang'an. asked the Hou Ye to go to the camp gate to receive the order. ”
"Senior, Yun Xiao will go to receive the order first."
It was not a eunuch who delivered the decree, but a school captain with ten Yulin guards.
"Chen Yunxiao respectfully invites St. Ann."
"The king of Jiaodong ordered Yun Xiao to have outstanding military achievements, and he specially sealed the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the bounty was 500 catties. The captured sergeant Wu was transferred to the Luoyang battalion. Ling Yunxiao immediately commanded the 2,000 forbidden troops of Chang'an, rushed to Suiyang to serve, and belonged to the control of King Liang. Wangyunqing will pass on the good news again to relieve my heart. Live up to the kindness of the emperor and live up to the expectations of the people......"
The lieutenant shook his head and read it for half an hour before he finished reading the decree, and it was estimated that his throat was already smoking
"Angel, please go into the camp tent and drink a glass of water and wine, so that Yun Mou can enter the friendship of the landlord."
"The label is General Yun, and he should have bothered this glass of water and wine, but he also had to go to Luoyang to announce the decree. I won't bother General Yun. ”
"Oh, don't dare to disturb the envoy's itinerary, Yun Mou has prepared Bo Yi and asked the envoy to accept it." The goshawk had already run back from the tent, holding a large bag of copper coins in his hand.
"General Xie Yun's reward."
The lieutenant smiled and took the copper coin and thanked him. turned over and galloped all the way to Luoyang.
"Yunhou, let's hand over the heads of prisoners of war, don't miss the general's itinerary."
I don't know when, Luan Bu has already arrived at the gate of the camp. To Yun Xiao's surprise, the old guy didn't mention what happened just now, but talked about the handover of prisoners of war. Yun Xiao naturally agreed from the goodness.
The prisoners of war were tied up in strings and brought to Luan Bu for counting, and the marching secretary of Luan Bu was inspected one by one. Carefully checking the numbers, Yun Xiao handed a small wooden box to Luan Bu's hand.
Luan Bu opened it curiously, and it was the head of a pheasant that was placed inside.
"General, there are three thousand eight hundred and forty-one people here. Nine hundred and eighty-three enemy troops were captured, which was consistent with the military report. ”
"Alright, load the head into the cart and escort the prisoner, let's go. Yunhou, take your leave. ”
The half-planted military village will have to brave the snow to return to Luoyang again, and the two thousand soldiers who came with Luan Bu complained again and again. Reluctantly, he began to pull out the camp and drove the prisoners back to Luoyang.
"Grandpa, why don't you kill those Huns, they almost killed their grandson."
"Shut up, you bastard. The Luan family will be defeated in your hands sooner or later, this kid is killing his subordinates, how can he do it. A crime of killing a hero can kill the Luan family, and sooner or later this kid will soar into the sky, it's too late to make friends with such a person, but you will be offended by shouting and killing. Hmph, when I go back to Luoyang, I'll go back to my hometown. Don't embarrass me everywhere. ”
"Grandpa, don't be angry. The eldest brother is also unintentional, you see that you are old-fashioned. Luan Ling, who had a fair face, comforted Luan Bu.
"Hey, Ling'er, it's a pity that you are a girl, if your eldest brother has half of your grandfather, he can close his eyes."
Yun Xiao looked at Luan Bu in the distance, turned around and went back to the big tent, secretly glad that this holy decree came in time, otherwise he wouldn't know how to deal with this tricky matter.
"Let the men clean the camp, and let the families at the door collect the dead families. If they had no home, they dug pits and buried them, and hung there dangling and strange people. ”
"No"
Wandered around to the back camp and checked Batu's injuries in person, fortunately, he wore a lot in winter, and Luan Xu didn't use his strength when he held the dagger directly. It's just a cut, a skin injury. Comforting the injured Batu, Yun Xiao came to the boiling cauldron again.
The beef in the cauldron has been boiled several times with the boiling soup, and this pot has become an old soup, with a thick layer of butter floating on the side of the pot. Yun Xiao scooped a spoonful with a soup spoon, and the taste was mellow, much stronger than the California beef noodles of Master Li in later generations.
I didn't eat enough at all just now, and when I thought of the beef noodles, my heart was itching, and the gluttonous worms in my stomach arched up vigorously.
What I didn't say was called people and noodles, and no one would roll noodles was a problem, so I could only eat pants noodles.
Scoop up the wide trouser belt and pour a spoonful of thick beef broth, and then scoop a large piece of beef on top. Scoop a spoonful of red oil and peel the garlic in half. Squatting on the edge of the tent and eating, a group of Hun men scrambled to get noodles. Now they also like red oil, and they can't do without it, saying that it's not cold when they eat it.
The goshawk squatted beside Yun Xiao and sucked and ate violently, and the garlic cloves were chewed without peeling the skin and putting it in their mouths, and they didn't know how their tongues and teeth worked, anyway, they would spit out the garlic skin after a few pounds inside. This kind of function is deeply envied by Yun Xiao, but he tried several times without success, but vomited a large piece of beef, and had to reluctantly give up the attempt.
There was a lot of work to make noodles, and Yun Xiao, who was helpless, had to tell the cook to close the dough cake and bake it into a green onion cake in the pot. It's about to go on the expedition, and it's good to prepare more military rations. The green onion cake will definitely not spoil in this season, and this Yunxiao is still psychologically bottomed.
The beef had to continue to be cooked, so the people cut a lot of pine wood and came back. I ordered dry firewood and began to smoke and roast cooked half-cooked beef, half-cooked is no problem, I didn't see those Huns even eat raw beef. I guess they will really starve them, and even people can eat.
Time is running out, and these things must be fixed before the arrival of the forbidden army that has been allocated to them. Otherwise, this beef is not enough for more than 2,000 people to stuff their teeth.
There were bonfires everywhere in the camp, and the aroma of roasted beef wafted to Yecheng.
Thinking of those sleek thigh bones, the news of Yunhou's army eating people spread far and wide. The garrison no longer dared to eat and drink in Yunxiao's camp, and the people looked at the people in the camp with strange eyes. The residents of Yecheng did not leave the city if they had nothing to do, and they were deeply glad that the garrison had sent away the Yun family army.
"I heard that no, Yunhou raised a team of Huns. The reason why those people fight so well is because they eat people. A few days ago, the people hanging from the tree, the flesh on the thighs was gone, hey, I heard my second child come back from burying the corpse, the thighs were gnawed so that Bai Sensen's bones were left, and the tooth marks on them were clearly visible. ”
"Yes, my aunt came back and said it. A few days ago, I saw a number of Wu army prisoners locked up in the camp, and there was a big pot boiling all day long. Thousands of people under black pressure, this is gone. Oops, that's so oozing. ”
"You don't know that they eat people, and they roast human flesh out of human bones. Otherwise, so many people would have disappeared, and these days people have eaten and burned without bones, so they let the people who gave the tolerance cut down the trees. Oh, the original loss guard was wise and didn't let them live in the city. If you let these cannibals into the city, it's worth it. The children on the streets and alleys are afraid that they will not have enough to eat early. ”
"yes, I've heard that human flesh eaters love to eat children."
"I've heard ...... too"
The streets and alleys of Yecheng are full of such rumors, and the children who used to play everywhere have been completely grounded. "If you cry again, if you cry again, you will be sent to Yunhou's camp and let those Huns eat you." The children stopped crying and looked around in horror, fearing that the demon named Yunhou would suddenly come out and eat him alive.
The rumors were infinitely amplified, when the forbidden army passed by Yecheng. The rumor has developed irrepressibly that Yunhou's army has eaten five thousand Wu soldiers.
Liu Da, who led the team, looked at the bear that followed him suspiciously, looking at the vicious face and the figure of the bear. Liu Da couldn't help but hide to the side, and the forbidden soldiers also looked at each other, not knowing what would happen to following a cannibalistic general.
Canghu came back earlier than Cangxiong, and the carriage driven by the two horses was much faster than Liu Da's footmen. When I stopped to rest, I found Xiaobai hiding in the car, and the farmer who was already frightened. Canghu was very helpless in the face of Xiaobai, and he couldn't afford to offend this ancestor.
Not only can he not rush, but he also has to take out goat's milk for this ancestor to enjoy, and now Xiaobai is no longer something he can deal with alone. The well-nourished Xiaobai is now not much smaller than the tiger, and even the body of the bear is one after another. The farmer who was slapped by it is still in dizziness, walking like stepping on a pile of cotton.
When there were still a few miles away from Yunxiao's camp, Xiaobai jumped out of the car. The nose sniffed in the air, and then rushed towards the camp of Yunxiao at the speed of a leopard.
The disciples of the Mo family who guarded the door naturally recognized Xiaobai, but the people who served as laborers were so frightened that they scattered and fled. Xiaobai, who saw Yun Xiao, slammed his head into it, and Yun Xiao sat on the ground with a bow. A man and a leopard rolled on the ground and made a ball, and Batu Goshawk laughed and joked beside him.
"You don't know, Yunhou can control birds and beasts. The second child of my family saw a leopard fighting with that Yunhou with his own eyes. The people of the Yun family were not afraid of the leopard. ”
"Yes, yes, my aunt ......"
Rumors that Yunhou could control birds and beasts have once again been noisy.
