system of princes and generals

Chapter 74 The Eve of the Great War
Before the words were finished, Ta Yan's whip had already fallen, and in an instant, Yi Jixuan's body was ripped apart.

Yi Jixuan didn't move, and still maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee, allowing Ta Yan's whip to leave scars on his body.

The soldiers of the Huns, who did not quite agree with the Elder Prince's actions, were not at the scene of killing the prisoners of war, but wiped their weapons not far away.It was only when I heard the sound of the whip that I noticed what was going on here.

They are all Yi Jixuan's team, and they are not used to Ta Yan's style, but they have no choice but to follow Ta Yan to encircle and wipe out the Han army under the order of King Hunxie.

Hearing the sound of the whip whipping, he thought that Ta Yan was punishing the soldiers who did something wrong again, or the Han army who disrespected him. At first, he didn't pay attention, but as Ta Yan cursed louder and louder, he suddenly realized that Ta Yan It turned out to be their general under the whip.

Yinuo's eyes widened suddenly, he spat, picked up his weapon and walked towards Tayan.The other soldiers also followed suit.

Tayan was pumping so hard that he didn't notice someone approaching him. His lifelong pursuit was to gain the supreme power, to become the next Hunxie King, and then to unify all the Xiongnu tribes, march into Chang'an, and trample the Han people under his feet forever.He cannot allow anyone to oppose him, and any dissenting voices must be dealt with with a whip.

Ta Yan was crazily and ferociously waving his whip.

Suddenly, the whip stopped in mid-air.

He turned his head to look, just in time to meet Yinuo's angry eyes colliding with each other in the air, and Tayan roared, "Let go!"

Yinuo didn't speak, but he refused to let go, every nerve and every cell was clamoring, but he just stared at Tayan fiercely.

Ta Yan was stunned for a moment, and continued to use his right hand to pull the whip out of Yinuo's big palm. The strength was very different, and the whip was still firmly restrained by Yinuo. Tayan was furious, pulled hard again, and shouted loudly, " If you don’t let go, I won’t be polite.”

Yinuo's black eyes were bottomless, her round cheeks were tense, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, but she still didn't speak or let go.

Suddenly, Tayan reached into his waist with his left hand, and drew out the knife. There was a flash of cold light, and the next second, the short knife was stabbed heavily into Yinuo's abdomen.

Yinuo groaned while covering the wound. The two cuts were very close, and blood kept flowing from the wound, slowly flowing along the cracks between his fingers.

"Yinuo!" Yi Jixuan shouted loudly, supporting Yinuo who staggered back two steps.

Tayan looked at Yinuo who was still bleeding indifferently, raised his arm, raised the dagger to his eyes, retracted his gaze, and snorted coldly, "A good sword is nourished by blood, but your blood is too cheap. It's not worthy of it." After saying that, he threw the dagger aside.

Then he said, "Yinuo's status is humble, but he dared to disrespect this prince and whipped him eighty times to extinguish his hostility."

Yi Jixuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and begged, "Yinuo just offended the prince on impulse, it was an unintentional act, it was not intentional, your lord has a lot to spare him this time, Yinuo There are wounds on the body, if you whip again, you may die."

Ta Yan's expression was indifferent, and he snorted coldly, "Didn't he do it on purpose? I think he deliberately offended the prince, contradicted him many times, and tried to misbehave. It is the kindness of the prince not to execute him immediately."

"The battle between the two armies is imminent. I beg the eldest prince to spare Ino's caning for the sake of my tribe's momentum. I beg the eldest prince at the end." Yi Jixuan knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists heavily, and begged Ta Yan with his head bowed.

Ta Yan didn't want to pay attention to Yi Jixuan, "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what I said? Drag Yinuo down."

Everyone lowered their heads, and some secretly glanced at Yi Nuo from the corner of their eyes. Yi Jixuan supported him and collapsed on the ground, covering the knife wound on his abdomen with both hands, and the gaps between his fingers were full of red.

"Prince, why don't you bandage Ino first?"

A weak voice sounded behind Ta Yan, it was his own guard, and after speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head, fearing that he would be eaten by Ta Yan's cold eyes.

"You all want to be the next Ino? Do you all want to rebel?"

Tayan's guards were originally afraid of him. They had been fighting under his whip for many years, and they had long lost their edges. Their legs became weak when he yelled at him. They hurriedly followed the instructions and walked quickly to Yinuo. beside.

"Prince, please spare Yinuo."

"If Yinuo is whipped again, he will definitely die."

The voices of pleading came one after another. They were all Huns cavalry who followed Yi Jixuan. After so many years of ups and downs, they could survive under the enemy's sword, but today they are going to die at the hands of their own people. They don't want to see Yinuo being so wronged die.

For a moment, everyone knelt down in front of Ta Yan.

At this moment, Ta Yan has been dazzled by anger, so he doesn't care whether the two armies are fighting or not. In order to consolidate his majesty, anyone who disobeys orders must die.

Ino's abdomen was simply bandaged and tied to a pillar. The wound was still bleeding, and the coarse cloth used for bandaging had already leaked blood.

Ta Yan brandished the whip himself, and scars were deeply burned on Yinuo's body.

The reinforcements camped temporarily, and Huo Qubing's tent gathered the main generals of this expedition. Although Huo Guang's official position was not high, he had a high status in the heart of the big boss, so every time the tent was discussed, Huo Guang became the main representative.

Huo Guang is usually reluctant to talk too much, after all, he wants to show his aloof personality, so he mostly stands behind respectfully and humbly listening to everyone's speech, and then cooperates with nodding and applauding, clapping his hands, and then standing in line appropriately, vote.

It's not that Huo Guang doesn't care about the war, but for him, it's meaningless to discuss these things before he really faces the Huns. He has to wait for the spies in front to report who led the army to besiege Gongsun Ao before he can make a detailed analysis. , based on his understanding of several important figures in King Hunxie County, the plan for each person should be completely different.

The discussion in the big tent was in full swing, and Huo Qubing just listened to them quietly just like Huo Guang.

"At this moment, there are two situations. One is that Gongsun Ao can last for a while after fighting hard, and the other is that he has long been unable to resist and may have been wiped out. No matter what the situation is, we can go around Pass them and hit the old nest of King Hunxie directly."

"Nonsense, our mission this time is to break the siege of General Gongsun. Even if there are still one soldier left, we have to save them. How can we leave them?"

"Don't forget, besides breaking the siege of Gongsun Ao, the emperor has another important task, which is to wipe out the old nest of King Hunxie."

"If we bypass General Gongsun, it would be inhumane and unrighteous. I can't do such a thing."

"How can you be sure that Gongsun Ao is still there when our [-] elite troops arrive? Maybe the war is over long ago, but we have lost the best opportunity to wipe out Hunxie Wang County in one fell swoop."

Huo Qubing frowned, watching the two forces in the big tent quarrel fiercely, whether to attack Hunxie Wang County's lair first or to relieve Gongsun Ao's siege first, the public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right.

Huo Guang, who was standing not far away, slightly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a trace of determination.
