Chapter 1340: Han Banner World (30) Hand over the Person
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 stand 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 highest 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 fellow~pig~pig~dao~xiao~said~www~zuhu~ Pao, as long as he comes, those Han people will naturally not dare to make trouble again, but this time the matter is too big, and they are afraid that the price they have to pay will be greater. But as long as he can save his son's life, he is willing to pay.
In 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 gate of the old camp opened in front of He Lanxiong, and 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. In the camp, even the old, weak, women and children also took up arms.
He sighed silently. He said to Hu Yanzhuo: "Brother Hu Yan, tell me inside!"
The two of them walked into the big tent and sat cross-legged on the felt blanket. Someone had already served milk tea and placed it in front 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 already willing to accompany them to compensate them. Even if the dead people are nobles, the compensation amount I pay is enough, but they still refuse to give up. Brother Helan, they are bullying us as Huns! You are the highest officer here, and you cannot allow this trend to continue. Is it okay to keep going like this? Hu Yanzhuo said indignantly. In his opinion, he had done everything he could 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, I gave you the Han Laws. Have you read it?" When Part I 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 is that all Han people are equal before the law."
The corner of Hu Yanzhuo's mouth twitched, "Brother Hu Yan, which country in the Central Plains claims that is not what it is, but what is the actual situation, don't you still know?"
"I know it very well, but our Han Dynasty is different from them. Not only do we say this, but we also do it. Brother Huyan, in our Han Dynasty, there is no such thing as nobles and commoners. Everyone is equal in the Han Dynasty, except for the royal family. They are inviolable, and the rest are just the people 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 thought to himself: "Back then, we, the Huns, were defeated at the hands of the Qin people. The royal court was destroyed, and countless Huns Lying on the grassland, death can 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. He gave the Huns a place to live and settle down, and accepted those Xiongnu tribes where almost all the strong men were dead. They built houses and distributed food, and the Huns were able to survive and find a way to survive. But as you know, brother Huyan, in the border area, we Huns were not the same as the Yan people or the Zhao people at that time. No matter what, they are full of hatred. When the Huns first surrendered to the Han Dynasty, there were more than one conflicts 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 in that year. The King of Han personally ordered the execution of hundreds of people, including 27 Huns. There were more than 70 people in the Eastern Expedition Army at that time, including many veterans who had followed the Han King in the 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 had already escaped. Crippled, the veteran stabbed him to the ground."
"This veteran was a soldier of the king's guard and had made great achievements, 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 had surrendered. The Huns, 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.
"From then on, although there was still hatred between the two sides and occasional fights continued, no human life was lost. Over the past ten years, with the unremitting efforts of the imperial court, the Huns and Han people have been completely integrated. The two sides recognize each other and are as close as brothers. This is 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 must be punished."
"According to your Han law, will he die?" Hu Yanzhuo's face turned pale and his breathing became 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, he may not be sentenced to death. After all, you have just surrendered. If you are not familiar with the laws of Han Dynasty, you should be treated lightly, and with my influence, you can at least save one life. However, Hu Yanping was so bold that he went to kill the suffering master's family, including a four-year-old baby. 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 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 make me anxious." Well, don’t blame me for not talking about 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. Chief Huyan takes it seriously. Are you going to bring them to death again? If conflict breaks out, will you have anywhere to go? Are you going to send thousands of Huyan people to hell for the sake of your son?"
"With just a few 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, today's Northwest is not what it used to be. Here, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the Third Military Region. Every farm is a fortress. You Where can you go? Where can you get supplies? These farms may not be able to fight with you, but if they retreat to the farms, how long can you hold on to a team that cannot get 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. Do you think you have it?" How long will you hold on? If the war continues, I dare say that in a few days, your Huyan clan will have no way to go to heaven and no way to earth. Chief Huyan, please hand over Huyanping for the lives of thousands of people in your Huyan tribe."
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 all to death together? I believe you will make the right decision. 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 was still going on. When He Lanxiong had just walked to the camp gate, Hu Yanzhuo's shouts came from behind. When He Lanxiong came back, he suddenly looked like Hu Yanzhuo, who was more than ten years older, walking towards him. Behind him, two Huyan warriors were holding Hu Yanping, who was tied up with five flowers.
He Lanxiong breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Helan, give him a good time." 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...)
