Chapter 18 The Cannibal Army
The Huns never had the habit of fighting and holding back, otherwise there would not be the spectacular pyramid of human heads in the military camp. Luan Bu's face was cold, and it could be seen that this was a very short-skinned guy, although the matter was caused by his grandson.
"Grandpa, they want to kill me."
Luan Xu said panting. He had run away just now, otherwise he would have been chopped into meat sauce by the strong Huns.
"Shut up."
Luan Bu looked at his incompetent grandson. If it weren't for the eldest grandson, he would have slapped him with a big ear.
"Mr. Yun, my Xu'er just ate a piece of meat, so there is no need to shout and kill like this." Luan Bu glanced at Yun Xiao with his eyes, but his feet were not bad, and he was ready to retreat at any time. He could not guarantee that these arrogant soldiers would do anything. The roads outside the camp gate were hung with soldiers from the Han Dynasty.
Yun Xiao was also in a dilemma. He had not yet figured out how to deal with the current problem. In the midst of a dilemma, suddenly a noise came from outside the camp gate.
"So what's wrong? Go and have a look."
After receiving Yun Xiao's order, the goshawk ran to the camp gate to check. After a while, he ran back.
"The Marquis is the Xuanzhi Clerk from Chang'an. He asked the Marquis to go to the camp gate to receive the imperial edict."
"Old senior, Yun Xiao will go and receive the order first."
The person who sent the order was not the eunuch, but a captain with ten Yulin guards.
"I am pleased to ask the Holy One."
"The eunuch of the King of Jiaodong, ordered Yun Xiao, who had outstanding military achievements and specially ordered the general of chariots and cavalry to be awarded a reward of 500 kilograms. The captured soldiers of Wu were transferred to the Luoyang camp. Yun Xiao immediately ruled the Chang'an imperial guards for 2,000, and rushed to Suiyang to serve, and belonged to the rule of King Liang. I hope Yun Qing will send good news again to lenient my heart. The emperor will live up to the great kindness of the emperor and the emperor will live up to the expectations of the people..."
The captain shook his head and read it for half an hour before he finished reading the imperial edict. It was estimated that his voice had already smoked.
"Angel, please go to the tent to have a drink of water and wine, so that Yun can slightly improve the friendship of the landlord."
"Bianxia congratulates General Yun. I should have bothered to disturb this glass of water and wine, but Bianxia still has to go to Luoyang to announce the imperial edict. I won't bother General Yun."
"Oh, I dare not disturb the envoy's itinerary. Yun Mingli Preparation Boyi and please accept it." Gangying had already run back from the camp, holding a large bag of copper coins in his hand.
"General Xie Yun rewarded."
The captain smiled and took the copper coins, thanked him. The horse turned over and galloped all the way to Luoyang.
"Mr. Yun, let's hand over the heads of prisoners of war. Don't miss the general's itinerary."
At some point, Luan Bu had already arrived at the gate of the camp. To Yun Xiao's surprise, the old guy did not mention what had happened just now, but talked about handing over the prisoners of war. Yun Xiao naturally agreed to the rank of good deeds.
The prisoners of war were tied into strings and brought to Luan Bu for a few minutes. As for the heads of Luan Bu, the marching secretary of Luan Bu was inspected one by one. After carefully checking the numbers, Yun Xiao handed a small wooden box to Luan Bu's hands.
Luan Bu opened it curiously, and it was Bu Zhi's head inside.
"Report to the general, there are 3,841 people here. The captured 983 enemy troops is in line with the military newspaper."
"Okay, put the heads on the car and escort the prisoners, let's go. Hou Yun, say goodbye."
The army camp that had just been half-established was about to return to Luoyang, and the two thousand soldiers who came with Luan Bu all complained. They had no choice but to start to pull up camp and escort the prisoners back to Luoyang with their carts.
"Grandpa, why didn't you kill the Huns? They almost killed their grandson."
"Shut up, you bastard. The Luan family will be defeated sooner or later. If you kill his subordinates, you will not be willing to stop. A charge of killing a meritorious official can kill the entire Luan family. Besides, this kid will sooner or later soar into the sky. It is too late to get along with such a person, but you will be offended by shouting and killing. Humph, go back to your hometown when you go back to Luoyang. Don't embarrass me everywhere."
"Grandpa, don't be angry. Brother is also unintentional. Look at you, you are always angry." Luan Ling, with a fair face, comforted Luan Bu.
"Hey, Ling'er, it's a pity that you are a girl. If your elder brother has half of you, he can close his eyes."
Yun Xiao looked at Luan Bu who was leaving, turned around and returned to the tent, secretly glad that the imperial edict had arrived in time, otherwise he would not know how to deal with this difficult matter.
"Let those civilians clean the camp, and those who have died at the door who have a home are brought to the family. Those who have no home will dig a hole and buried it, and those who are hanging there are swaying and scattered."
"promise"
He walked to the back camp and personally checked Batu's injuries. Fortunately, he wore a lot in winter, and Luan Xu held the dagger without using any force. He just cut the cut and had skin injuries. Comfort the injured Batu, Yun Xiao came to the boiling pot again.
The beef in the big pot was boiling with the rolling soup. Several large pots had been cooked. This pot had become an old soup, with a thick layer of butter floating beside the pot. Yun Xiao took a spoon with a spoon, and the taste was mellow and much better than the later generations of Master Li’s California beef noodles.
I was not full just now. When I remembered the beef noodles, I felt itchy and the greedy worms in my stomach kept urging upwards.
The one I didn’t say was called to knead noodles. No one could pull the noodles was a problem, so I could only eat noodles with trousers.
I took up the wide belt, poured a spoonful of thick beef soup, and then took a large piece of beef on it. Digged a spoonful of red oil, peeled the garlic in half. I squatted on the edge of the tent and started eating. A group of Hun men scrambled to grab noodles. Now they also liked the red oil, and this thing was indispensable for every meal, saying that it would be cold after eating.
The goshawk squatted beside Yun Xiao and sucked it hard. He didn't peel the garlic cloves and put them in his mouth and chewed it. He didn't know how his tongue and teeth worked. Anyway, he would spit out the garlic skin after fiddling it for a few times. This function was envious to Yun Xiao, but he tried it several times but failed. Instead, he vomited a large piece of beef and had to give up trying it helplessly.
With too much dough work, Yun Xiao had no choice but to instruct the chef to close the dough cakes with chopped green onions and bake them into chopped green onions. It is about to go to war, and it is also good to prepare more military rations. The chopped green onions will never rot in this season, and Yun Xiao is still mentally ill.
The beef had to continue to be cooked, which made the civilians come back after cutting a lot of pine wood. Ordered dry wood and started to smoke and cooked half-cooked beef. It was fine if the half-cooked ones were not cooked. I didn’t see the Huns even ate raw beef. I guess they would be hungry and even people could eat it.
There is not much time left, so I have to prepare these things before the imperial guards assigned to me arrive. Otherwise, this little beef is not enough for more than two thousand people to get stuck in their teeth.
There were bonfires everywhere in the camp, and the aroma of roasted beef was so smelled in Yecheng.
Reminding those naked thigh bones, the news that Yunhou's army cannibalism spread wildly. The garrison no longer dared to eat and drink in Yun Xiao's camp. The civilians looked at the people in the camp with strange eyes. The residents of Yecheng did not leave the city if they had anything to do, and were deeply grateful for the garrison's actions that sent the Yun family army away.
"I heard that, Mr. Yun raised a team of Huns. Why are those people so powerful in war? They are all because they eat people. The people hanging on the tree a few days ago had no meat on their thighs. Oh, when my second son came back from burying the body, he said that the thighs were barely gnawed and all the white bones were left, and the teeth marks on them could be seen clearly."
"Yes, my son-in-law also said that when he came back, he saw many prisoners of Wu army locked up in the camp a few days ago, and there was a big pot cook all day long. Thousands of people were black, and they disappeared. Oh, it was so cunning."
"You don't know that they ate people and roasted human flesh with human bones. Otherwise, so many people disappeared. These gods had finished eating and had no bones and burned them, so they let the people who were out of the business to cut down trees. Oh, the wise men of the garrison were wise and did not let them live in the city. If these slaughter guys were allowed to enter the city, it would be great. The children on the streets and alleys would probably have eaten nothing left."
"Yes, I also heard that human flesh eats children the most."
"I heard that..."
There are such rumors everywhere in the streets and alleys of Yecheng. Children who used to play were completely confined. "If you cry, you will send you to the camp of Yunhou and let the Huns eat you." The children stopped crying and looked around in horror, fearing that the demon named Yunhou suddenly came out and swallowed himself alive.
Rumors were infinitely amplified. When the imperial guards passed by Yecheng, the rumors had unstoppable development into that the army of Yunhou ate five thousand Wu army infantry.
Liu Da, who led the team, looked at Cang Xiong who was following him in confusion, and looked at the vicious face and the figure of a bear. Liu Da couldn't help but hide, and the imperial guards looked at each other in confusion. What would happen if he would follow a cannibal general.
Cang Hu returned earlier than Cang Xiong, and the carriage with two horses riding on the shaft was much faster than Liu Da's stylist. When he was parked and rested, he found Xiaobai hiding in the carriage, and the young man from the village who was already scared to death. Cang Hu was very helpless in the face of Xiaobai and could not afford to offend this ancestor.
Not only can he not drive, he also has to take out goat milk for this ancestor to enjoy. Now Xiaobai is no longer something he can deal with. Xiaobai, who is well-nutrition, is not much smaller than a tiger, and even the bear's body is slapped. The young man who was slapped by it is still dizzy, walking like stepping on a pile of cotton.
When Xiaobai was still a few miles away from Yun Xiao's camp, he jumped out of the car. His nose opened and closed in the air, and then rushed towards Yun Xiao's camp at the speed of a leopard.
The Mo family disciples who were guarding the gate naturally recognized Xiaobai, but the labor-working civilians were frightened and fled in scattered. When they saw Yun Xiaobai, they hit Yun Xiao with a big head and sat on the ground with a butt. One person and one leopard rolled on the ground and made a ball of it. The Batu goshawk laughed and joked beside him.
"You don't know that Yunhou can control birds and beasts. My second child saw a leopard fighting with that Yunhou. People in the Yun family are not afraid of the leopard."
"Yes, yes, my son-in-law..."
