Chapter 33: Beasts are not as good as

2 updates today ~

—————

Hu Kan led 70,000 Hu troops to come day and night. Hu Kan was worried about Peng Guangyi's safety. It has been more than ten days since he received the information that Peng Guangyi was trapped. There is no news about whether Peng Guangyi is still holding on or has been destroyed, and he is uneasy.

At night, as soon as the Hu army was stationed, Zhou Yi found Hukan and said, "King Hu, there is news on the front line."

"Oh, say it quickly." Hukan said anxiously.

Zhou Yi replied: "According to the reports of the soldiers who fled back, General Peng led 25,000 people to station in Heimo City. Unexpectedly, the food and grass were burned, so he had to go out to grab food and grass. However, he was attacked by Qian Xiaoxing and the Zheng brothers' troops on both sides. Now the entire army has been destroyed. General Peng was forced to commit suicide."

"What!" Hu Kan fell on the stool and couldn't help crying: "One day, one day, a father and a father. Although General Peng and I are masters and apprentices, they are as close as father and son. Today, they were forced to commit suicide. Even if he died, he would not surrender to Si Jun. I must let Si Jun pay his blood debts and pay for his blood!"

Zhou Yi sighed and said, "General Peng is indeed a role model for us. King Hu. Now General Peng has been killed. Do we still want to march?"

Hukan thought for a while and said, "The State of Si invaded seven cities south of our Lanjiang River and must be brought back."

"But General Peng and General Meng led 75,000 people to attack the Si army. The two generals were experienced in many battles and were still defeated by the Si army. This time we only had 70,000 people. Please think about whether to attack the Si army through Lanjiang." Zhou Yi advised.

Hu Kan couldn't help but curse: "General Zhou, I'm only listening to you a few more words, but you are becoming more powerful and destroying your ambitions. What you mean is that I am not as good as my master, so you don't have to fight?"

Zhou Yi hurriedly defended: "I didn't mean that. I mean to fight and find out the situation. Don't make a rash move."

"This time I will lead the army in person, and the soldiers are very strong and will definitely defeat the Si army." Hukan said confidently.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi could only shake his head secretly. Hukan lacked experience in the battlefield. Although a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, it can also be said that a frog in the well does not know the sky and the earth are thick, and he can't help but worry about the future.

Two days after marching, Hu Jun finally arrived at the Lan River. Looking at the camp ruins left by the troops last time, Hu Kan saw things and thought of people. Looking at the rolling Lan River water, he couldn't help but think of Peng Guangyi again.

Zhou Yi was a little tired after traveling for several days. He followed Hukan and said, "King Hu, I have sent troops to investigate. The main force of the Si army is currently gathering in Qingyu City, with about 50,000 people."

Hukan asked seriously: "Qingyu City, how far is this place?"

Zhou Yi leaned over and replied, "After crossing Lanjiang, it's about thirty miles."

"Okay, then we will cross the river tomorrow and attack Qingyu City!" Hu Kan was eager to avenge Peng Guangyi, and he wished he would come to Qingyu City immediately.

Zhou Yi hurriedly stopped him and advised: "If we use 70,000 people to attack the city guarded by 50,000 people, there is no chance of winning. Please think twice, King Hu."

"What do you think you should do?" Hukan asked back.

"This..." Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment. Although Zhou Yi was older and experienced, he was just a good fighter and was not good at making tricks. He had to sigh and said, "I don't know, it would be great if Sima Taishi was here."

"Without Sima Yiqing, Hu State would not be able to fight a war, right?" Hu Kan roared.

Zhou Yi had no choice but to answer: "In my opinion, I think there is no chance of winning the siege. If I can fight against the Si Jun on the plain, there will be a chance."

Hu Kan was helpless after hearing this old mind, and said, "If you were Si Jun, would you give up the city and go to the plain to fight the enemy!"

"Uh..." Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly.

It seems that it still depends on yourself, Hukan can only say: "Get the map!"

Zhou Yi had no choice but to take the map, Hu Kan spread the map on the ground, and asked, "This is Qingyu City, which city is on the left and right?"

"The one on the right of Qingyu City is Yubi City, and the one on the left is Noguchi City." Zhou Yi had been familiar with the map for a long time and immediately answered.

Hu Kan looked at Qingyu City guarding the main traffic road, nodded and said, "It seems that Qian Xiaoxing also understood that Qingyu City is a military center, and it actually stationed troops here. How many people are there in the two cities of Yubi and Noguchi?"

Hukan replied: "There are about 150,000 people in total."

"150,000..." Hu Kan suddenly had a plan when he said this, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will cross Lanjiang tomorrow and capture 150,000 people from these two cities to attack Qingyu City. No matter how much the price this time, I will kill Qian Xiaoxing, otherwise I will not be a human being!"

Zhou Yi was shocked and advised: "King Hu, no, these are all the people of our Hu country."

"Now that has been occupied by the State of Si, that is the people of the State of Si, so I don't care," Hu Kan asked angrily: "Then you say, if you don't use this method, what can you do?"

This immediately pointed to Zhou Yi's fatal point, and Zhou Yi suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.

On the second day, Hu Jun built a floating bridge on the Lanjiang River. After 70,000 people crossed the bridge, they were divided into two parts, each heading towards Yubi City and Yekou City. After arriving, they captured all the people in the city, not even the old, young, women and children. After a night, they carried the people to Qingyu City.

The people didn't know where Hu Jun was going to take him to, but under the threat of the soldiers, they had to move forward. The people in the crowd helped each other. Some women were holding their children in their hands, and they felt something was wrong and couldn't help but coax the crying children with tears.

An older woman was very tired from leaving and couldn't help but say, "I'm a sin, aren't these our own Hu Jun? Why do you still arrest us?"

His wife said softly: "Oh, I heard that Si Jun has sent food to the people of Heimo City, and Hu Jun still wants to arrest us. In this way, it is really better for stepmothers than their biological mothers."

Listening to the urging voice of Hu Jun soldiers, the two could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly.

In Qingyu City, Qian Xiaoxing's residence, Lu Shengzhong walked in quickly and handed a piece of paper to Qian Xiaoxing. Qian Xiaoxing took it and looked at it. It turned out that Hu Jun was escorting the people to Qingyu City. He immediately slapped the paper on the table and said angrily: "I actually want to use the people to attack the city. Hu Jun is too inhumane. Those people of Hu State! Even their own people are not let go!"

Lu Shengzhong also shook his head and said, "I have heard of using enemy people to attack the city before, but this is the first time I have heard of using our own people to attack the city. This is really a beastly approach, and it is a pity that Hukan can do it!"

"A people of more than 100,000 people will be lenient even if they kill them! Brother Zhong, what should I do? I can't continue to kill them!" Qian Xiaoxing said in a heavy mood.

Lu Shengzhong said helplessly: "But if we don't kill the people, how can we defend Qingyu City? Are we watching Qingyu City be taken away by Hu Jun?"

"Hu Jun is unmannerable, unmannerable!" Qian Xiaoxing stood up and paced back and forth impatiently, not knowing what to do.

Lu Shengzhong comforted him: "This kind of Hu Jun ignored the lives and deaths of the people, which was like drinking poison to quench thirst, and he would surely perish."

"I know this, but what should we do now?" Qian Xiaoxing was so angry that his mind was dizzy and had no thoughts.

Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing couldn't think of a solution this time, Lu Shengzhong had to say: "Convene a military meeting and everyone will give you advice."
