Meng Hun laughed coldly, "Whether it's the North borderline, Nanman or Dongqing, they are all the same. It's not surprising that they do the same dirty things."
Liyun was silent, he did not dare to respond to Meng Hun's words.
Even during the chaotic times of the 16 kingdoms, the people of the central plains had an innate sense of superiority. This sense of superiority reached its peak after Xia ended the chaotic times and unified the world. How could the people of the Heavenly Kingdom be mentioned in the same breath as the barbarians?
If Meng Hun's words were heard by the old pedants and scholars, he would definitely be condemned and reviled by the people.
In the eyes of the people, the barbarians were barbarians. They ate raw meat and drank blood, lacked intelligence, and were cruel savages. On the other hand, the people of the five kingdoms of the central plains were refined and courteous. Whether it was Dongqing, Nansheng, Zhongzhao, Beiyuan or Xichang, who looked down on the barbarians?
However, Meng Hun said that people were all the same. The people of the central plains could also do the bloody methods of the barbarians, they just did not admit it.
Such a statement was really deviant. Liyun subconsciously wanted to refute, but the bloody reality below made him unable to speak.
His heart was tangled and uncomfortable. In the end, he could only sigh.
Based on Liyun's intelligence, he could not understand whether it was the rebellious people who created the chaotic times or the chaotic times that drove the rebellious people crazy.
"Why are you sighing? It's really bad luck." Meng Hun's face was stern. His eyes stared at the Tsing Yi army who were preparing to rest on the spot. He lectured in a low voice, "As a general, you must not show your emotions on your face. You can't let the situation of the war affect your mood …"
To the captain of the vanguard battalion, he had to maintain a calm mind and clear thoughts at all times. He could not make any mistakes.
The soldiers of the vanguard battalion made up half of the elites of the army. If they lost the war, not only would their morale plummet, their combat power would also be greatly reduced.
As the commander of the vanguard battalion, the captain had to play the role of the backbone at all times. Even if the situation was bad, he could not easily reveal dejection or sigh. This would affect morale, even if Liyun did not mean it …
Liyun smiled honestly, revealing the naive and sweet temperament that Meng Hun was familiar with. However, he quickly realized something and quickly tightened his face.
On the other side, the Tsing Yi army's troop that was transporting provisions had already found a shady and cool place to rest.
The weather is still very cold, but the labourers use up a lot of energy to transport rations over mountains and rivers. They are always sweating profusely. On the other hand, the members of the Tsing Yi Army who are "supervising" wear light clothes and are simply dressed. They are panting more heavily than the labourers who are pushing the rations.
One of them sat down on the wagon and fanned himself with the hem of his robe. His slightly swollen face was somewhat unkind.
"I'm so unlucky. If it weren't for these women walking slowly, we would've arrived long ago. We would've been able to eat and drink well. Why would we need to waste time in this wilderness …" A thick phlegm surged up his throat. He spat directly on the face of the woman closest to him. Seeing her scream in panic, he felt much better. "I really don't understand these women. My children have already eaten, but they still lack a mouthful of phlegm …"
The other man leaned against the wagon, grabbed the head hanging from the back of his waist, pulled it off and threw it far away.
"Don't go overboard. These women are to be shared with the brothers. I'll let you enjoy them in advance on the road, but don't break them. Since you've eaten the meat, you should let others have some soup. " His gaze swept across the hundreds of women with disheveled hair, lowered heads, and shivered. He laughed wickedly, reminiscing something. "Women's bodies are so soft, and they taste good …"
Chaotic times have their advantages. If the world was at peace, how could they have such comfortable days today?
They risked their lives to be mountain men who work in the fields. They don't know how long they have to wait to taste women.
There are few women. In remote villages, it is impossible to marry a woman. It is common for a few brothers to raise money and buy a wife together.
There are about a thousand members of the Tsing Yi Army guarding the rations team. Pairs of eyes lingered on the women.
During this period of time, they hastened to transport the rations. The women are by their side, but they can't touch them. Only a few people of high status can casually drag one to the bushes to do it. Many people can't bear it anymore. However, due to the officer's prestige, no one dared to act rashly.
"Look at your useless faces. When we go back, all the brothers will have a share. One by one, there's no hurry … Hahaha …"
Those women seemed to have been tortured to the point of numbness. Apart from a few who revealed resentful gazes, the rest all had lifeless faces.
How could they not be numb?
Their villages and homes were destroyed in a day. Their fathers and brothers died tragically in front of them.
Not only did their bodies suffer a blow, but their minds were on the verge of collapse.
If this was just an appetizer, what happened every day on the road was like a blunt knife cutting their fragile nerves.
If these beasts wanted to eat meat, they would be the best and freshest meat. They watched helplessly as people who were originally alive were chopped, washed, cut, and thrown into the pot to be cooked. There were even a few who were more stubborn who were cooked alive. What kind of feeling was that?
"… They were either made to sit between two vats and fire was forced from the outside; or they were roasted on an iron frame; or their hands and feet were tied and first splashed with boiling water …"
"Human flesh is said to 'think of meat'. Eating it makes people think of it."
Those who had the courage bit their tongues to commit suicide. Those who had no courage could only endure it bitterly.
They trembled with fear, afraid that they would be the next victim.
In comparison, the silver humiliation every night was nothing.
They wanted to escape, but they had no shoes. There were many gravel in the surrounding terrain. Both their hands were tied to the same hemp rope. It was impossible for them to escape alone.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Ancheng district, everyone's hearts surged with waves of despair. Some people even felt relieved.
If they died like this, it would be good.
Come to think of it, even hell wouldn't be so unbearable.
A portion of the vanguard battalion hid in a secret place. The improved crossbows were already loaded. The crosshairs were aimed at the heads of the Tsing Yi Army.
"Chief … Why do I feel that the weather today is chilly …" Someone felt a little uncomfortable.
Another person said, "Look at these heads. Who doesn't feel cold? Cowards."
There was a burst of laughter around them.
Before joining the Tsing Yi Army, many of them were diligent farmers. However, after tasting impudence, they could no longer return to their original state. They could no longer find that "simplicity". They wantonly ridiculed their cowardly comrades and roared with laughter.
"Alright, if you've rested enough, all of you get up. Send this batch of food to the city, then enjoy the beauty together …"
Before the leader's voice died away, blood suddenly spurted out from between his eyebrows. An arrowhead was revealed.
Many members of the Tsing Yi Army were about to bend over and get up or pick up the weapons at the side. They were at their most relaxed state.
A wave of sneak attack killed two to three hundred members of the Tsing Yi Army.
Fortunately, Meng Hun and the rest took a roundabout route to the back of the Tsing Yi Army. Otherwise, their tracks would have been discovered by the other party.
"Enemy attack …"
"There's an enemy …"
After a wave of attacks, corpses fell to the ground. Only then did the Tsing Yi Army react.
The crowd was already in complete chaos.
At that moment, more than a thousand people rushed out from the originally empty bushes in the forest. The leader was Li Yun.
He was about to attack with a silver spear. When he rushed forward, he realized that his target's head had already been pierced through.
Li Yun was speechless.
