Helianding felt that coming here was a joke.
He originally thought that it would take ten days and a half months for He Mulan to capture Hu Konggu, and he did his best to mediate and surrender several times. He had to go deep into the tiger's den of Longtan and become a lobbyist for He Mulan himself. In order to win this valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack with the smallest loss...
But He Mulan cheated away Hu Konggu with just over a hundred people, and even launched a general attack at dawn, but at dawn, he had already captured and killed the slaughter, and surrendered. clean.
Speaking of which, the most time-consuming part is on the road. He Mulan's grasp of people's hearts and the situation is not like a rising boy in his early twenties, but like a veteran who has been fighting for more than ten years. is extremely accurate.
It is now three poles in the sun. After a night of hard work, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army have already been killed, and their hands are weak and tired.
Helianding originally thought that he didn't need to surrender but pointed the way. After all, it wasn't a waste of time, but he was shocked when he saw He Mulan tied up a bunch of slaughter people and prepared to behead them at the hottest noon sun. Discolored!
The Xiutu people in Hu Konggu were only a part of the Xiutu people. There were many Xiutu tribes scattered around in Xiadi. He Mulan killed people like this. If King Xiutu hated him, he would have to gather more people next time. People mutiny!
Killing it like this is a long-term solution!
"Are you crazy? It's not one person, it's more than a few hundred people! You didn't even take it back for a trial, and you just killed it?"
Helianding rushed into He Mulan's tent and asked incredulously, "Didn't you say that your majesty meant to hit first and then stroke?"
He Mulan didn't sleep all night, first pulled the crane for a long time, and then rushed to kill in the chaos.
Seeing Helianding come in, she lazily opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "The people I want to kill have countless lives on their hands, and there are hundreds of people killed by them alone. This person raped /□□/ women with extremely cruel means, so that those women suffered to death. I am the general of the Great Wei, and my duty is to protect the family and the country. What's the meaning?"
The people rescued by He Mulan were placed by Gao Shen with Chang'an Guard. The men were okay, many of them were only flesh wounds, because the weak were tortured to death long ago, and those who survived were strong and capable.
But many of these women simply cannot survive. Even if they were sent back, they were unwilling to leave their hometown to find a living, and some even begged the Hu Ben army to keep them and let them do laundry, cooking, and sundries.
He Mulan still remembered her oath. After Hu Konggu was shot down, the captives of the Xiutu people were gathered together and taken to the main camp. The people who suffered were identified by themselves. Hundreds of people had blood on their hands.
The person who guards the safety of the valley between the two passes is too busy every day, but there is no blood debt. On the contrary, the guards who were guarding in the valley or protecting the safety of Jinya were actually full of debts.
The son of Jin Ya, whom He Mulan caught on the way, even killed a lot of women. The bones of these women were thrown down the mountain and devoured by wild beasts. When He Mulan sent someone to look for them , even the complete corpse was not found.
Helianding was an aristocrat of the Xiongnu, and he led the army to fight against even the massacre of the city, and he was used to this kind of thing.
"Now that the prestige has been established, it is time to appease Xiu Turen, even if you think of a way to kill them later. Now that you have killed so many people, how can they give in!"
"They have already lost. It depends on Your Majesty's intention to submit or not. If His Majesty thinks that the Hutu people have no useful value, the entire clan will be wiped out."
He Mulan's eyes were directed at Helianding: "The people they murdered were the people of the Xia Kingdom not long ago, don't you have any indignation at all?"
"Heaven Comes"
"I'm not going to engage in these unnecessary verbal disputes with you!" Helianding's expression was a little complicated, "I'm just making my personal suggestion. You should take these people back to Chang'an or Tongwan, and the General Tuoba will take care of them. Write to handle, you are so young now, you should cherish feathers."
"My feathers were put on by Your Majesty." He Mulan's eyes were bloodshot, she yawned and said disapprovingly, "If Your Majesty thinks my feathers are too dense, it's nothing to take them off."
"You're crazy for..."
"Mr. Helian, I have always respected your ability, don't let me look down on you!" He Mulan, who was sleep-deprived, was finally annoyed by the chattering Helianding.
"If in a monarch's country, the people will think that each other is a 'weak flesh' that can be sacrificed, then the country will only become a country where the people are suspicious and complaining about each other. I am only a military family, not a noble, What are we fighting for? Just so that our family will not suffer the pain they are suffering today! I don’t know what kind of country Xia is, but the country that Your Majesty wants to build is by no means what it looks like!”
"Why was Xia Guo destroyed!" He Mulan looked at Helianding, who suddenly stiffened, and a burst of joy rose in his heart: "It's because you don't take the people seriously!"
This blow may have hit Helianding's sore foot, the latter pursed his lips and left with anger on his face.
Maybe he came to prevent He Mulan from getting the notoriety of "tyranny and cruelty", or to sell favor to King Xiutu, but in any case, He Mulan would not accept his "kindness".
Sin is sin, and He Mulan didn't want these people to be appeased.
Tuoba Tao might really let these people go because of political considerations, but as a minister, he should be responsible for this country and share his lord's worries.
She, He Mulan, will carry this black cauldron.
The noon sun was blazing, and after two hours of rest, the Hu Ben Army came to the temporary execution ground full of energy, because He Mulan ordered everyone in the Hu Ben Army to observe the execution.
The bound Hutu people cried bitterly, cursed, and begged for mercy. The rescued people supported each other, spit at them, and used the most vicious language in the world. Saw a bunch of real demons tied up there.
Under the sunlight, He Mulan, who was wearing a bright light armor, was blinded by the reflected sunlight, but her firm and powerful voice reached everyone's ears.
"When I first entered the army, I wondered why we should enter the army with all our belongings because of an order from the nobles and the king. Those lazy nobles who were born into a good family can Let the people under the rule go to die and serve. Since the founding of the country, the war has been going on for 80 years, countless families have lost their children, and the war will continue... "
What He Mulan said was outrageous, but every Hu Ben army listened carefully.
"I didn't regret my choice until I entered Montenegro and saw those frontiers plundered by the Rouran people. I know that many of you can only choose to be soldiers, and many of you know that you are strong and can Get a better life by being a soldier, but no matter what, you must remember that you are a group of people, not beasts!"
"Rape/prostitution/women, slaughtering people, and wanton torturing opponents for reasons other than survival, these are not what a 'human' should do! You are the most elite warriors of the Wei Dynasty, and you are the strong men who have been tempered in the wind and sand on the border of Montenegro. , and never, like these cowards, take pleasure in destroying those who are weaker than yourself!"
"We are fierce tigers, strong winds, and sharp blades to protect Wei!"
He Mulan opened her arms. "The sword edge of the Hu Ben Army will always point to a strong enemy. Always remember what I said today. The Hu Ben Army will not be cowards or beasts!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"The general is invincible!"
Everyone in the Hu Ben Army responded loudly, and for a while, the response in the valley was earth-shattering.
"I hope that when you disarm and return to the fields in the future, everyone can proudly tell their own experiences of defending their families and the country, instead of showing off how many women they have dated, how many defenseless people they have killed, and how many people's wealth they have robbed... "
He Mulan's iron boots stepped on the ground and made a sonorous sound.
"As long as I'm in Huben for one day, if anyone rapes, kills, loots, and mutilates fellow robes, the end will be like this moment!"
He Mulan pulled out the rock, raised his sword and dropped it!
Boom!
A head rolled to the ground, staring with unwilling eyes, and rolled out.
The one who died was the son of Jin Ya, the only son of King Xiutu.
"Remember these Hutu people, they are not human, they are beasts..."
He Mulan shook off the blood beads on the sword.
"cut!"
He Mulan gave an order, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground could be heard incessantly. In an instant, the entire execution ground was submerged in red blood.
The people who were once taken away by the Xiutu people burst into tears one by one, not only crying about their painful experiences, but also crying bitterly that those who suffered together did not survive to the end, and did not endure the day when they were freed.
Humans are inferior to dogs in troubled times, but as long as they can live with a straight spine, who wants to be a dog
***
He Mulan slaughtered a lot of people in complete disregard of Helianding's good intentions. For He Mulan herself, it was nothing more than the fact that there were hundreds more people in the military merit book. Even if Tuoba Tao asked, she answered dignifiedly. .
But when it comes to dealing with people, she does have a big lack.
Gao Shen even persuaded her in private that people came at risk, at least this love is the essentials, and the relationship should not be too stiff. It's a pity that He Mulan, who was already caught in the "speed of life and death", couldn't care about dealing with the relationship at all. As soon as the suppression of the rebellion was over, he led a group of Xiu Tu people to rush to Chang'an City.
Fortunately, He Lianding was also an adult, and He Mulan also had kindness to him, although he was not in public, so although the relationship between the two was not as warm as before, at least it was not as "ice-like" respect for each other. level.
When He Mulan returned to Chang'an City with Helianding, Gan Xiu Tu and the refugees looted by Xiu Tu, even Kumoti was surprised by He Mulan's speed.
In fact, if the refugees had not slowed down the march, they would have returned faster.
"Why did King Xiutu become like this..." Kumoti looked at Jin Ya, whose shoulder bones were broken and his whole body was injured, and asked in surprise, "You hit him hard?"
Kumoti knew that He Mulan never tortured captives, and when he saw this unlucky guy, he couldn't even believe that He Mulan did it.
He Mulan pulled Gao Shen and pointed to Jin Ya: "Tell me about the passage with King Yingchuan, and I will also go to King Changshan to discuss the resettlement of refugees."
Kumoti was stunned. He Mulan had already run away, leaving only a wry smile. He coughed a few times at this unfamiliar prince: "My lord, that... it's like this... "
When things came to You Ya and Chang Shan Wang, there were other changes.
"These plundered women don't want to go back to their hometown?" King Changshan was inexplicable: "Where are you going if you don't go back to your hometown? Now that you've been rescued, you should be repatriated to your hometown!"
You Ya probably knew the reason, so she cupped her hands and asked, "Dare to ask the general, are these women so insulted that they don't want to go back to their hometown to make a living?"
"It's true. Not only that, many of these women are pregnant..." He Mulan gritted her teeth when she spoke of this, "If they can't be settled properly, there will be countless more cases in this world in a few months. One corpse and two dead souls!"
There are no mature and effective contraceptive measures in this era, and these squatters will not pay attention to these. Poor these women are tortured day and night. As long as they are physically healthy and in the gestational cycle, how can they not get pregnant
The Hutu people plundered them for more than a month, and some of them were pregnant because they didn't know it, so they lost their lives later. The rest hated the children in their wombs so much, how could they treat them well
"How can this be good..." Chang Shan Wang also had a headache after hearing the whole story. "I will send officials to register these people in detail. Those who are willing to return to their origins can go back, and those who are unwilling to go back can stay in the Baigong Division to be a female worker. It's just those children..."
Tuobasu glanced at You Ya. "Is there a way for Mr. Huangtou?"
"If these women are willing to marry, they will definitely not have children, and they will secretly throw them away." You Ya stroked his beard, "I can only ask if there are monasteries willing to accept boys, and if there are good men and women who want to adopt Yi Yi. Son of a bitch, maybe I can find a parent to grow up with."
"we can only do this."
He Mulan stood by and listened to their discussion before asking, "Will the temple accept babies? How to feed them?"
"Hey, General Hua, don't you know that people now abandon babies and throw them at the gates of temples? Temples have offering fields and worshippers, even if they feed a few mouthfuls of rice soup, they won't die. What's more, many temples have ewes for raising ewes. , was prepared for this kind of thing.”
Yuya sighed.
"The sins of Xiu Tu's people are too great. How can they feel that they can escape punishment?"
"Because they only live in the moment." He Mulan said with a sneer: "They are thinking that they will die tomorrow. When a person thinks that he will die at any time, the beast in his heart will come out and eat people. If you eat people, you will eat yourself…”
Halfway through her words, she suddenly froze.
"Anytime you will die..."
"General Hua, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah? No, it's nothing, I blinked for a moment." He Mulan was suddenly irritable, she casually perfunctory to You Ya, and led Chen Jie and others to leave and go back to rest.
Early tomorrow morning, she will lead Helianding to catch up with the team heading to Pingcheng, and then return to Pingcheng together.
Tuoba Tao must have been looking forward to Helian's decision in Pingcheng for a long time. If it wasn't for the rebellion of the Xiutu people, they might even have arrived in Pingcheng soon.
"By the way, isn't King Yingchuan going to pacify the rebellion of the Qiang people? Why is he still in Chang'an?" Because of Wang Jin's incident, He Mulan had some doubts about Kumoti. Seeing that he was still in Chang'an, He Mulan couldn't help but inquire about the news.
"The Qiang people suddenly disappeared..." Tuobasu was also worried, "The Qiang people are much more cunning than the Xiutu people, and they don't live in a group like the Xiutu people, they are scattered everywhere on weekdays, and only the leaders will gather when summoned. Together, once dispersed, it is not easy to find again.”
In contrast, the Xiutu people who retreated to Hukong Valley were easy to deal with because they had fixed goals.
"The scouts scattered around now are looking for traces of the main force of the Qiang people. Once they know where they are, I am afraid that Kumoti will be dispatched." Tuobasu said, "Now the trouble is about Wang Jin. He searched for it before. I don’t know where the property went, and half of Chang’an’s official treasury was emptied. Now the general who takes over as the prefect of Chang’an has no money, silk and food to use, so how will he preside over the spring ploughing next year…”
"Will he be sent back to Beijing by Wang Jin?" He Mulan suddenly interrupted. "Wang Jin should trust his mother-in-law the most. He has no wives, concubines, or children. This money has no other place to go except to send it to the Wang family. There are so many things, and they are not soft, and the Egret official will check them, and they will naturally know where they are going... "
Tuobasu and You Ya didn't know that money might have entered Princess Duanping's mansion. You Ya saw He Mulan's words were relaxed, and couldn't help but stroked his beard again.
"That... these things are going to enter Princess Duanping's mansion, so they probably won't come back."
"These are all the people's fat and people's cream that Wang Jin looted, and they should be returned to those whose families are ruined. How can you say that if you don't come back, you won't come back!"
A nameless fire rose in He Mulan's heart and roared angrily.
"General Hua is really good-natured recently..." Tuobasu couldn't help laughing, "Princess Duanping died and raised her son for so many years, and the Wang family broke the root. How could His Majesty want them to spit out the money they swallowed? The Wang family needs to know. With such a small amount of money, the only seedling of his own family was forced to die, and he might be willing to use several times the money for Wang Jin's life. The Wang family is very powerful among the descendants, and this errand Kumoti and Huangtou government Not good, I have to be attacked and retaliated, even for the safety of these two, His Majesty will not force it any more."
He Mulan suddenly realized.
No wonder Wang Jin is dead! Wang Jin is immortal, those properties must be checked where they are, and further investigations will be carried out to find the "those people" behind Princess Duanping!
Where is Kumoti protecting his aunt, he is protecting the people behind Princess Duanping!
Is Cuomo being loyal to His Majesty, or is there another conspiracy? Could he be the deepest pawn hidden beside His Majesty
That's right, she accidentally bumped into the assassin who was plotting to assassinate Cui Hao in the camp, so she went to find the then-commander Kumoti, but she was so pretentious in the big competition, the assassin didn't touch Cui Hao, much less. what an assassination...
If Kumoti knew at that time that she was ready, it is likely that those people would not have been assassinated.
It's just that although Kumoti and Hanchen didn't deal with it, there was absolutely no reason to kill Cui Hao. Otherwise, if Hanchen and the army dominated by Xianbei aristocrats clashed, it would only endanger Tuoba Tao's status...
and many more.
Is it just to make Emperor Tuoba Tao's throne unstable
It seems that Kumoti is also the clan of "Zhiqin", Tuoba Tao has no children, and Kumoti also has the right to inherit the throne!
And killing ghosts...
In the situation at that time, Kumoti sent people to guard the suspected soldiers, and the murderer inexplicably added an extra spring, and then committed suicide under the supervision of everyone. Isn't it the same as today's Wang Jin's death
There was also Di Yefei who ingested Wushi Powder, which he revealed to himself and Cui Hao and others. She went to Di Yefei first, and when she encountered him, she struggled indiscriminately. Su Hejun and Cui Hao bumped into each other again, almost making Cui Hao hate him and abandon him...
If it wasn't for His Majesty and Su and Jun both knowing that they were a woman, maybe they would both be ruined at that time. Both Tuoba Tao and Cui Hao hated Wu Shi San, even if they didn't hate it, they would never reuse it from now on...
Behind Di Yefei stood a tall car, and behind him stood the army led by Tuoba Tao. If they all had an accident at the time, Tuoba Tao could be said to have broken his right arm, and there would be no chance to promote the new force.
This scene was linked together by He Mulan, and he felt cold all over his body. As for what Kumoti once said to Wang Jin in prison, "You are crazy to mix with these people" and so on, they were all left behind by her.
The seeds of doubt grew deeper and deeper, took root and sprout, breaking out of the ground, shattering the calm He Mulan had managed to suppress once again.
Your Majesty is surrounded by such terrifying people without knowing it!
Of the things she saw in her dreams, how many of those things stood behind this Kumoti figure
She is going to Pingcheng!
She must go to Pingcheng immediately!
"General Hua? General Hua? What's wrong with you, why are you looking like this..." You Ya pushed He Mulan, but she took a few steps back in horror when her eyes suddenly swept across like lightning.
this this this...
Is this still the calm and self-sufficient Mulan from before
"General Hua, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yuya asked worriedly.
"If you're uncomfortable, take a few more days of rest. You're on the road day and night, haven't you slept well?"
"King Changshan, I have to rush to Pingcheng immediately if I have something to do..."
He Mulan bowed her hands to Tuobasu.
"I also ask the lord to arrange supplies as soon as possible. I will catch up with the Yulin army in front after the end of the slaughter."
"In such a hurry? Duke Helian follows you around, do you want to rest for a few days? After the chaos of Xiu Tu was resolved, Duke Helian was successfully picked up again, so there is no need to be in such a hurry."
Tuobasu didn't care about Xiu Turen at all, even if He Mulan killed him when he was fighting the rebellion, he wouldn't blink, but Helianding was different.
But for He Mulan, who's life is worth more than Tuoba Tao
"I'll go back and talk to Duke Helian."
So she shook her head firmly.
"I'm in a hurry."
