The Xiongnu outside Jinyang City did not seem to have any intention of leaving. They would occasionally pull some refugees to attack the city gate, but there were no longer any children among the refugees…Their goal was no longer to rely on these refugees to attack the city gate, but to continuously destroy the hearts of every soldier. This young general was simply a bloodthirsty demon…
" Did you hear? These Xiongnu people are mostly Jie people. They cooked and ate the children they killed…" A soldier's face was filled with fear.
" I heard that too. Those dead women were also brought back to their camp and eaten…" Another soldier seemed to be trying to verify the authenticity of the first person's words. Many soldiers echoed one after another.
The soldiers 'mental defenses were about to collapse when the Xiongnu people outside the city kept driving the refugees to their deaths. They had to defend day and night, and they had very little time to rest. They had to personally kill innocent people every day. As humans, their consciences were already numb...
Liu Kun had only come to the residence to see me once. The rest of the time, he was on the city wall. Today, Liu Kun came to see me again to see if my body could attend a meeting with him. Tonight, he will urgently gather a few generals in charge and prepare to hold a small military meeting on the city wall.
I felt that there was nothing wrong with my body, and seeing Liu Kun's sincerity, I had no reason to refuse.
night
" Uncle, if this continues, we won't be able to hold on any longer…" Liu Yan said in a low voice,"" The people in the city are also panicking. There are even signs of wanting to escape. If it weren't for the Xiongnu people surrounding us, some people might have already escaped…"
" Father, our supplies are being consumed too quickly, and the number of injured is increasing. If this continues, we might not be able to hold on for long…" Liu Qun's face was filled with helplessness…
Linghu Sheng only shook his head and didn't say anything. He had almost no soldiers left…
Liu Kun looked at these people and felt very helpless. He suddenly asked,"Where's Xu Run?”
Linghu Sheng snorted and replied, I don't know where he's drunk."
Ran Zhan didn't react to Linghu Sheng's words and continued to clean his blade and spear.
Liu Kun's face twitched, but he did not say anything.
Everyone looked at each other in silence…
"There are no reinforcements now, and we can't send anyone to break out of the encirclement. No one can escape the pursuit of the Xiongnu cavalry. Tuoba Yilu should be fighting with Wang Jun right now. The outcome won't be decided in a short period of time. We are the only ones who can save ourselves…"
I suddenly asked Linghu Sheng,"Does Uncle Linghu have any news about Ping Yang?"
"I heard that Liu Yuan is already dead. Now, Liu He is the emperor of Han. Ming Yue, why are you asking this?”Linghu Sheng was confused.
I'm recalling the history of Liu He. I vaguely remember that Liu Cong should be the one who stepped onto the stage of history after Liu Yuan. Why is there another Liu He? Was he going to experience a coup? "In this era, it's a common occurrence. We just don't know when the coup will happen. If it happens, Shi Hu might be transferred back and temporarily give up on Jin Yang. We'll also have a chance to catch our breath. But when would Liu He die? Could it be a few years later? We can't afford to wait…
I thought for a moment and replied," The new emperor of the Han Kingdom of the Xiongnu will definitely consolidate his power. The administrative system of the Han Kingdom also has a hint of tribal system. Will all the princes obey this new emperor, Liu He?”
Liu Yan said," This Liu He doesn't have a good reputation in the Han Kingdom. It's said that he's very suspicious of others. He's also sharp and unkind to others. He's not a person who can tolerate others. I think it's rare for all the princes to gather here. Perhaps…"
Liu Kun shook his head and said slowly,""Don't make guesses. In the current situation, guesses like this are just drawing a picture.
Liu Kun stood up and slowly walked a few steps on the city wall. Looking at the lights of the Xiongnu camp not far away, he could no longer suppress the depression in his heart. After a clear whistle, he took out a Hu Jia and began to play it alone. The tune was very distant and sad. The Xiongnu people who were closer seemed to have heard the sound of the Hu Jia and gathered together to listen.
The few of us were also moved by the helplessness in the tune. I suddenly realized that the Xiongnu people below the city seemed to have gathered together. They weren't here to attack, but to listen to the sound of the Hu Jia. An allusion suddenly appeared in my mind and I blurted out,"Besieged from all sides!"
At the same time, Liu Kun also said," That's right, ambush from all sides!
Liu Kun and I looked at each other. There was an indescribable feeling of mutual understanding in our hearts. Indeed, great minds think alike.
Everyone looked at us in confusion. They didn't know why we were talking about this " ambush from all sides ". Now, we were surrounded by the Xiongnu people, not them. What was the use of this " ambush from all sides " or " being besieged on all sides "?
Liu Kun looked at me and didn't say anything. Instead, he encouraged me to say it with his eyes.
I nodded and boldly voiced my thoughts."Uncle Linghu and brothers, do you think our current situation is very difficult?”
Everyone nodded, thinking, Isn't this nonsense?
I continued,"We've had a hard time, but haven't the Huns?" Do they consume less energy than us? They were only here to temporarily replace Hail Can's troops, and this army was mainly made up of Jie people. Jie people were the lowest tribe among the Xiongnu tribes. Now that they had come from afar, wouldn't they be tired? Were they not afraid of death? What was the thing that people were most afraid of hearing when they were weak?”
Linghu Sheng thought for a moment and said,""Local accent!"
"Yes. Back then, when Han Xin defeated Xiang Yu, he used an ambush on all sides. Didn't he use people who knew the Chu language to sing the songs of Chu to shake the morale of the army?”，I feel that everyone's thoughts have been guided by me, so I'm a little excited.
"But can singing defeat the enemy?" Liu Qun asked.”
"Of course not. The function of the local accent is to make people relax their vigilance and even make them miss their hometown. If we play the Hujia tune of their hometown at night for a few days in a row, how much fighting power do you think they will have at night? "There will definitely be a relaxation. Then, our opportunity will come!”
Liu Kun looked at everyone with a determined gaze and slowly spat out two words,""Night raid!"
in the city Lord mansion
Ran Zhan and I found Xu Run, who was drunk and dreaming. When we saw Ran Zhan's tall figure, he thought that the Xiongnu had come in. He repeatedly begged the king to spare his life and desperately kowtowed to beg for mercy. When he was a little frightened by the wine, he saw that it was the two of us. The expression on his face was really wonderful...
Xu Run forced himself to calm down. He put on a stern face and pretended to be an elder as he scolded,"Why are you looking for your Uncle Xu?”
I held back my laughter and said,"Uncle Xu, Jinyang's crisis is getting more and more serious. The only person who can save the people of Jinyang City now is you."
When Xu Run heard this, he knew that his inaction during this period of time had caused dissatisfaction. Could it be that everyone had been killed and he wanted him to be a strong man?”
I looked at Xu Run's ugly face and just wanted to laugh. However, the military situation was urgent and I didn't have too much time to tease him. I quickly told him what I and Liu Kun thought, hoping that he would make a batch of Hu Jia as soon as possible. Then, he would personally choose people to play the Hu Jia with a tune and play it together every night.
After hearing what I said, Xu Run felt like he was a close friend. It was as if his heart had been smeared with the best honey. Look, using music to win is so elegant. Why haven't I gone out to help? It's because I have to recuperate and give the other party a fatal blow at the most critical moment. Look, it's finally my turn to display my talent!
Xu Run's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed. He also began to actively prepare and select talents.
I have to admire Xu Run's artistic attainments. He only used a local leaf to roughly make dozens of Hu Jia. Then, every night, after both sides worked hard for a day, they began to play together. They played it sadly and sadly. Because there were many people playing it, the sound spread very far, and the entire Xiongnu camp could hear it. I was worried that it was not strong enough at night, so I arranged for Xu Run to work even harder. He played overtime at midnight and early in the morning! Xu Run was really an artist. He did not feel tired at all. He was now completely immersed in the artistic atmosphere. Moreover, there were so many people listening. It was simply a pleasure. Using music to defeat the Hu…This was unprecedented…
I don't know how Liu Kun saved the orphan city with a tune of Hu Jia in real history, but I believe it's definitely not like what was written in the history books. That thing was the product of the scholar-bureaucrats 'self-praise and obscenity. How could the Xiongnu cry and retreat after hearing the sound of Hu Jia? Bullshit!
A few nights later
Shi Hu had been in a good mood recently. Every night, after venting with the women among the refugees, he could hear the music of his hometown. Therefore, the rhythm of the siege had unknowingly slowed down.
Shi Hu was in high spirits today. He was still playing with women in the middle of the night. In the tent, Shi Hu was crazily having sex with this woman in front of him. However, this woman didn't care how crazy Shi Hu was. She just ate the food in front of her desperately. The sound coming out of her mouth was mixed with moans and chewing sounds...
"Night raid! It's a night raid!" The Xiongnu soldiers were panicking. They had been playing the Hu Jia tune for many days, but nothing strange had happened. This made them relax their vigilance, and their morale gradually dropped. At this critical moment when both sides were fighting to the end, the Xiongnu people were indeed relaxed…
Ran Zhan's spear pierced through the chests of the Xiongnu soldiers one after another. Liu Kun's sword also continuously chopped off the heads of the Xiongnu soldiers. Linghu Sheng was so excited that he set fire everywhere.
Shi Hu heard the shouts and felt the sudden clamor in the camp. He reluctantly stopped his crazy actions and kicked the woman in front of him away. The anger in his heart couldn't be vented for a moment... Shi Hu kicked the woman's head fiercely. This poor woman died on the spot. Her eyes were wide open without a trace of nostalgia for this world. Her mouth was stuffed with all kinds of food, and blood slowly flowed all over her face...
Shi Hu walked out of his tent and slashed the Xiongnu soldiers who passed by him with his sword. He roared,"All of you, come back and block it! How dare you ambush me!"
The Xiongnu soldiers were already panicking. How could they listen to what he said? Those who were not dead quickly fled in all directions. Shi Hu also knew that the situation was hopeless. He cut down another Xiongnu soldier, seized his horse, mounted his horse, and fled…
Shi Hu turned his head to look at the burning tent behind him. The anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger. What a shame…he suffered such a great defeat on his first attack. He must take revenge…was it Princess Ming Yue? Wait for me…Hahaha…
With a whoosh, an arrow shot out of nowhere and hit Shi Hu's butt. He gritted his teeth in pain. It seemed that he needed to recuperate for the time being...
