Hu Yanzhuo had no idea that what he thought was just a small conflict would develop to this point. In the past ten days, tens of thousands of Han soldiers had gathered outside the old camp in Changji. , all the soldiers of the 59th Division rushed over, not only the soldiers, but also their families. In Hu Yanzhuo¡¯s view, although these people were vulnerable, they didn¡¯t even have a battle formation. They just gathered in a chaotic mess outside the old camp, but they couldn¡¯t handle the large number of people. What's more, how can he take action at will now? Meng Zhuang of the 59th Division was looking forward to the military region's high-level officials arriving soon, and he was right. If He Lanxiong came, everything would get better. He Lanxiong is the top officer of the Third Military Region. He is also the brother-in-law of the King of Han and his brother in need. More importantly, he is a Huns and his comrade. As long as he comes, those Han people will naturally not dare to make trouble again. It's just that this time things are too big, I'm afraid the price I have to pay will be greater. But as long as he can save his son's life, he is willing to pay. Amidst the eager anticipation of both sides, He Lanxiong finally appeared. Seeing He Lanxiong's flag appearing outside the old camp in Changji, Hu Yanzhuo breathed a long sigh of relief. The entire Changji old camp also breathed a long sigh of relief. In their view, He Lanxiong is naturally their savior. He Lanxiong refused He Lanjie and Meng Zhuang's request to send escorts, and rode alone towards the Changji old camp of the Huyan tribe. The camp gate of the old camp opened in front of He Lanxiong. Hu Yanzhuo came forward anxiously with a look of relief. "Brother Helan, you are finally here. It's good that you are here. It's good that you are here. You see. I did not attack them, although they are vulnerable." Hu Yanzhuo said: "Our Huyan tribe is still Taking the overall situation into consideration." He Lanxiong scanned the old camp. All the strong men of the Huyan tribe were fully armed and gathered in the old camp with their horses. Even the old, weak, women and children in the camp had taken up arms. He sighed silently and said to Hu Yanzhuo: "Brother Hu Yan, let's talk inside!" The two of them walked into the big tent. Sitting cross-legged on the felt blanket, someone had already served milk tea and placed it in front of the two of them. "Brother Helan rushed from Mengchi to relieve Huyan's siege. I am very grateful!" Huyanzhuo said. "How did things get to this point?" He Lanxiong sighed. "It's all because your nephew is ignorant. I have already taught him a lesson. Now I can't get out of bed with my whip, Brother Helan. They are just a few untouchables. I am willing to accompany them, even if The few people who died were nobles, and the compensation I paid was enough, but they still refused to give up. Brother Helan, they are bullying us as Huns! You are the highest officer here, and you cannot let this happen. If the trend of the people continues to grow, is it okay to continue like this?" Hu Yanzhuo said angrily, in his opinion. I have done my utmost to be benevolent and righteous. The muscles on He Lanxiong's face twitched. He picked up the milk tea in front of him and took a slow sip. "Brother Huyan, when you left Mengchi, did you read the Han law I gave you?" When one arrived in Changji. He Lanxiong specially sent him ten books of Han laws and regulations, which were also specially translated into the Xiongnu language, and he repeatedly told Hu Yanzhuo to read them carefully. Hu Yanzhuo showed some embarrassment on his face, "Brother, I am watching, I am watching." Looking at the other party's face, He Lanxiong knew that the other party did not take his words seriously at all, "The first article of the general outline of the laws of the Han Dynasty, That is, all ordinary people are equal before the law." Hu Yanzhuo twitched the corner of his mouth, "Brother Huyan, which country in the Central Plains does not claim this, but what is the actual situation, don't you know? "I know it very well, but our Han people are different from them. We not only say this, but we also do it. Brother Huyan, in our Han Dynasty, there is no such thing as nobles and civilians. In the Han Dynasty, everyone is equal, except for the common people." The royal family is inviolable, and the rest of the people are just subjects of the Han Dynasty," He Lanxiong said every word. Hu Yanzhuo's face changed color, "Brother Helan, what do you mean?" He Lanxiong drank all the milk tea in the cup in one gulp and placed the cup on the ground. He did not look at Hu Yanzhuo, but said to himself: "Back then, I The Huns were defeated at the hands of the Qin people. The royal court was destroyed. Countless Huns fell on the grassland. Deaths could be seen everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of Huns were at a loss and did not know where to go. At this time, it was the King of Han who took us in and gave us The place where the Huns settled down took in the Xiongnu tribe whose able-bodied men were almost all dead, built houses for them, and distributed food to them. Only then did the Huns survive and find a way to survive. But as you know, Brother Huyan, in the In the border area, we Huns were different from the Yan people at that time.Even the Zhao people are full of hatred. When the Huns first surrendered to the Han Dynasty, there were more than one conflict between the two sides. Do you know how the king dealt with it? " Hu Yanzhuo's breathing became heavy, but he didn't say anything. "There were dozens of such conflicts back then. The King of Han personally ordered the execution of hundreds of people, including 27 Huns and more than 70 members of the Eastern Expedition Army at that time. Among them were veterans who had followed the King of Han in his campaigns east and west. Because this veteran accidentally discovered his enemy among the Huns who surrendered. A few years ago, during a raid on the border, the Huns killed his entire family, and only he escaped. By this time, the Huns were disabled. , the veteran stabbed him to death on the ground. " "This veteran was a soldier of the king's guard and had made great contributions, but the king still ordered him to be executed. On the day he was executed, countless people knelt down to plead for him, not only the soldiers in the army, but also those who The Huns surrendered, but the king only said one thing, that is, before the law, everyone is equal, there is no humaneness, and there is no flexibility. " "What do you want to tell me? "Hu Yanzhuo's voice was trembling. "Since then, although there is still hatred between the two sides, and occasional fights have continued, there has never been a human life. For more than ten years, with the unremitting efforts of the court, the Huns and the The Han people have been completely integrated together, and both sides recognize each other and are as close as brothers. This time was the biggest conflict between the Han and the Huns since the founding of the Han Dynasty. " "I'm not here to save Hu Yanping, but to take him away. "He Lanxiong looked directly at Hu Yanzhuo. "Hu Yanping violated the laws of the Han Dynasty, and he must be punished. " "According to your Han law, will he die? "Hu Yanzhuo's face turned pale and his breathing was rapid. He Lanxiong sighed: "Hu Yanping's first crime was for robbing and insulting a woman. Although the woman died in the end, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, it was not necessarily a crime. He will be sentenced to death, because you have just surrendered and are not familiar with my Han laws, so you should be lenient. Coupled with my influence, you can at least save one life. But Hu Yanping was so bold that he went to kill the Kuzhu family. , there is also a four-year-old baby among them, Brother Huyan. Even in the past, do you think there is still a way to survive for such a crime? " "Ping'er will definitely die? " "Death is certain. "He Lanxiong said with certainty. Hu Yanzhuo stood up suddenly, "What if I refuse to hand it over? Brother Helan, I, the Huyan clan, have thousands of warriors and thousands of clan members. We are all heroes who are not afraid of death. You, you have made me anxious, but don¡¯t blame me for not respecting brotherhood. " He Lanxiong raised his head and looked at Hu Yanzhuo, who was all hair and beard: "The Huyan tribe has grown from tens of thousands of tribesmen and thousands of warriors at that time to where it is today. It has finally found a place to settle down and a good leader. Huyan tribe leader Do you really want to lead them to death again? If conflict breaks out, will you still have somewhere to go? Do you want to send thousands of Huyan people to hell for your son? " "Just based on some rabble outside? Hu Yanzhuo said proudly: "Can I defeat them with just one charge?" " "Then what? He Lanxiong asked calmly: "Where are you going?" Chief Yan, the Great Northwest is no longer what it used to be. Here, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Third Military Region. Every farm is a fortress. Where can you go? Where did you get supplies from, did you grab them? These farms may not be able to fight with you in the field, but if they retreat to the farms, they are well guarded. How long can you hold on to a team that cannot obtain supplies? " Without looking at Hu Yanzhuo's face, He Lanxiong said to himself: "Not to mention our regular army in the Northwest. There are now more than 3,000 regular cavalry and nearly 5,000 regular infantry in the Third Military Region. What do you think? How long did you last? As the war continues, I dare to say that in a few days, your Huyan clan will have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Chief Huyan, for the sake of the lives of thousands of people in your Huyan tribe, please hand over Huyanping. " Hu Yanzhuo's hands trembled, "Ping'er is my only son, I will never hand him over. " He Lanxiong stood up slowly, "Huyan Clan Chief, think about it carefully, should Hu Yanping alone exchange for the safety of the entire Huyan Clan or let him drag you to death together? I believe you will have a correct answer. decision. I will wait for your reply outside the camp. " He Lanxiong stood up, looked at Hu Yanzhuo with some pity, and strode out. Outside, the confrontation remained the same. When He Lanxiong just walked to the gate, Hu Yanzhuo's shouts came from behind. He Lanxiong came back. Suddenly, Hu Yanzhuo, who seemed to be more than ten years older, was walking towards him. Behind him, two Huyan soldiers were holding Hu Yanping, who was tied up with five flowers. "He Lanxiong let out a long sigh of relief. Brother, give me??What a pleasure. "Hu Yanzhuo handed the rope that tied Hu Yanping to He Lanxiong. "He will be fairly judged by the laws of the Han Dynasty. "He Lanxiong said slowly. (To be continued.)
