Sizhou, Hanoi County.

On the avenue forty miles west of Huai County.

Tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry were walking west along the road. In addition to these Xiongnu soldiers holding weapons, tens of thousands of captured Jin people also walked together.

Most of these prisoners were young and strong men and women, but they were also extremely hungry and tired. From time to time, some people fell to the ground and then they could no longer get up.

Although people fell and died by their side from time to time, these captured Jin people no longer had any idea of ​​taking a look. No one knew how long they could last. Even if they could hold on, after reaching Pingyang, those who waited for them would be hard to bear as cows and horses.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the east of the road. The Xiongnu cavalry responsible for the warning immediately divided a team to meet him.

When the flag of the Huns Han State flashed out, all the Huns cavalry also breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be the army responsible for the rear cover.

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong immediately stopped at this time and looked at the Huns rear army coming from behind.

Liu Yi, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty of the Huns next to him, also stared at the Hun cavalry coming from behind. However, compared with Liu Cong, who was calm, he looked nervous.

"Is it possible that the thieves from Qingzhou in Huai County are catching up?" Crown brother Liu Yi murmured.

After hearing this, Liu Cong disagreed at all.

"The Qingzhou bandit army has almost no cavalry, how could it be that it could have chased here so quickly? I think that most of the soldiers who had cut off the rear defeated the chasing Qingzhou bandits!"

When the soldiers of the Huns' Empress Army saw the Huns Emperor Liu Cong, they immediately said.

"Your Majesty, the Qingzhou thieves have left the city to pursue them. They were repelled by our troops in Qianshibei. The thieves are already scared and dare not pursue them anymore!"

After hearing this news, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong showed a slightly refreshing look on his face.

As the emperor of the Huns and Han Dynasty, Liu Cong led tens of thousands of troops to besiege Huai County for more than a month, but he was unable to go down. Instead, he lost thousands of soldiers. Among them, the Qiang and Hu Hao chief who was surrendered to the northern county also died in front of the formation and did not even rob the corpse.

This simply made Liu Cong lose all his face. If it weren't for the Xiongnu army in Henan withdrew due to the epidemic, and the major changes in Pingyang in the rear.

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong might continue to besiege Huai County.

"Okay, these Qingzhou bandits are so vulnerable once they leave the city protection! It's so satisfying!" Liu Yi, the crown prince next to him, was finally young. When he heard that the Huns' rear army won, his nervous mood immediately relaxed and couldn't help but clapping his hands.

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong was in a good mood, and he asked people.

"How many beheads are there? Are there any prisoners alive?"

After hearing the emperor's question, the visitor lowered his head and said carefully.

"Your Majesty, you have beheaded about a hundred people, and the prisoners have less than ten living people!"

"Hundreds of people!?"

After hearing this number, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong glared at his eyes and asked fiercely like a wolf that was about to eat people.

The Hun soldiers who came to report the news immediately trembled in their hearts and immediately repeated it in more respectful words.

After confirming the number of beheadings and captures after the victory, the original mood of the Hun Emperor Liu Cong, who had been relaxed by hearing the victory, immediately disappeared.

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong couldn't help but take a breath. You should know that he left behind a broken ambush at the small Qianshipo, but there were as many as 5,000 people and the surrounding terrain cover. As long as the Qingzhou army in Huai County pursued him, he would definitely be defeated by an ambush.

But after an ambush, there were only so few beheadings and captures. Was this a victory or defeat?

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong couldn't help but guess, was it that the old man named Liu Yang, the King of Changle who was responsible for the closure of the rear, messed up the ambush and then blinded himself?

"Where is the prisoner's mouth?"

When Liu Cong thought of this, he immediately shouted.

If the Qingzhou army pursued by Huai County fails to be ambushed, they will definitely not dare to pursue them voluntarily. In this way, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong could lead the light cavalry to return to Pingyang first, and then leave a large army to carry the looted baggage and population slowly.

However, if the ambush of Liu Yang, the King of Changle who was responsible for the severance of the rear, failed and gave the Qingzhou army the pursuit of the attack, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong had to organize another attack. Otherwise, he would not only march and always be on guard against the pursuers in the rear, but he would not know how much time would be delayed along the way.

Now Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou in Jin Dynasty, just made an irreparable mistake. It was definitely a great opportunity for the Huns to attack Jinyang in the north and to take all the Bingzhou River Valley Plain in one fell swoop!

Liu Yang, the king of Changle in the rear army, was the uncle of the Hun Emperor Liu Cong, and had many self-conferred subordinates. He might not have deceiving himself. If some prisoners could interrogate him, the matter would probably be known clearly.

"Your Majesty, those prisoners have been brought, and they are tied to the ground where the horse is tied!"

"Bring it here!" Liu Cong immediately frowned when he heard this.

If it was defeated, it would be difficult to have prisoners. It seems that the ambush was won, but after an ambush, did the Qingzhou bandit army only suffer so little?

How powerful is this Qingzhou bandit army?

Soon, several prisoners of the Han Dynasty in Qingzhou, covered with scars, were taken over.

"Your Majesty, two more prisoners can't be injured, they are dead, and only these few people are left!"

When the Hun Emperor Liu Cong heard this, he nodded slightly, and then said kindly to several Qingzhou Han army prisoners kneeling on the ground.

"I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

"I see that the handsome men are all brave and brave. Why do you work hard for the thief in the sea of ​​Qingzhou?"

"It's better to quickly abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I'm reviving the emperor and Han Dynasty. It's the time to use people, and I'll be granted the title of the emperor and the generals..."

The words of the Hun Emperor Liu Cong just now came to this point, and a prisoner of the Qingzhou Han army who was pressed to the ground was already cursing.

"Ho, bah! Hulu, you are worthy of being called the Emperor! Kill your brother and marry your mother, just like a beast!"

At this time, the two Hun guards had already rushed forward and knocked the Qingzhou army captain to the ground with the scabbard in their hands. However, although the Qingzhou Han army captain was full of blood, he still struggled and continued to scold without fear!

"Nei, you must not die a good death!"

"I'm begging for life in Bingzhou. If I have sex, I will kill your grandfather!"

"I want..."

The voice of the captured Han army in Qingzhou came to an abrupt end here.

The sharp blade suddenly slashed down, and his head, which was pressed into the soil, separated from his body. The blood ejected out was as high as ten feet high, and the several Hun generals around him were stained with scarlet spots.

The prince Liu Yi next to him was covered in red. He immediately stepped back in horror and did not dare to see such a close-up bloody scene.

A few drops of blood also shot on the face of the Hun Emperor Liu Cong. A follower next to him quickly took out a silk cloth and wanted to wipe his master, but Liu Cong raised his hand to stop him.

"Such a stubborn person is worthy of death!"

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong said in a low voice.

"Do you still have someone who is willing to die with him?"

Liu Cong's words were full of disdain and threats, and then he continued to glance at the remaining prisoners with his eyes.

"Hahaha, Hu Gou! Your grandfather, I don't want to live anymore. I will go to the underworld to wait for you first. When my two sons grow up, kill all you barbarians and avenge me!"

A prisoner shouted loudly, and two Hun soldiers pressed his backward arms tightly behind him, so that he did not struggle to stand up.

"puff!"

Another slight sound, and the second head rolled down.

"But who else wants to die!"

The voice of the Hun Emperor Liu Cong was still low, but there was obviously a huge anger hidden.

At this time, there were only four prisoners of the Han army in Qingzhou. All four were lowered their heads. No one dared to scold and die. The fresh smell of blood floating on the ground made them unable to even make a sound of begging for mercy. They just made a few "hoho" sounds from their throats.

Seeing this, Liu Cong knew that the four people were already scared, so he turned to caress each other gently.

The four people immediately recovered and kowtowed and prayed for forgiveness.

He answered all the questions and answered questions from the Hun Emperor Liu Cong, and he knew everything and said everything. Even if it was something he didn't know, he would have all the things he heard about.

Finally, the Huns Emperor Liu Cong was basically sure that the Han army in Qingzhou, who was pursuing from Huai County, had been prepared for the ambush of the Huns. Now that he was defeated, he would definitely not be able to continue pursuing him.

"Give these four people a horse each and follow the army!"

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong immediately ordered his followers.

Then, he issued a series of orders to the generals around him. He had decided to lead the Qingqi to return to Pingyang first, so that the remaining troops would move slowly.

Soon, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong, who had already prepared a lot, led thousands of light cavalry along the avenue and galloped towards the northwest.

Because the news about Jinyang sent by Liu Can, the Great Xiongnu Chan, who was left in Pingyang City, had already caused the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong to delay for a moment.

A group of cavalry galloped and passed the Wild King before stopping for a moment.

Liu Yi, the prince of the Han Dynasty of the Huns, who was rushing along, was already very tired because of his high-intensity riding, but none of the Hun cavalrymen passing by showed any complaints. Liu Yi, the prince of the royal family, dared not show it in front of Liu Cong.

The crown prince Liu Yi noticed that along the way, the face of the Hun Emperor Liu Cong was always very serious, with almost no expression change.

"Your Majesty, are you worried about missing the opportunity to capture Jinyang?" The crown prince Liu Yi couldn't help asking.

After hearing Liu Yi's words, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong shook his head and said.

"Liu Kun has made a big mistake in Jinyang. It is too late to make up for it. As long as I return to Pingyang within two days, Jinyang will be my gain!"

The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong knew that although Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou of Jin, was very brave and famous, he was not good at military affairs. He could repeatedly resist the attacks of the Huns and Han countries, and relied more on the support of the Tuoba Xianbei. Now the Tuoba Xianbei is busy competing for territory with the Qiang and Hu in the Hequ area, and is unable to support Jinyang at all.

In this way, after surrendering to the general Linghu Ni, the Huns and Han Kingdoms were 90% sure to capture Jinyang.

"What's the matter with Your Majesty's worries?" asked the Crown Prince Liu Yi. At this time, he was full of curiosity and had forgotten the teachings of the masters of the Central Majesty, and could not help but find out the emperor's thoughts.

However, the relationship between the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong was always unusual for this younger brother and did not show any displeasure. Instead, he said it very normally.

"What I am worried about now is no longer Liu Kun from Jinyang, but those thieves from Qingzhou!"
