The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 555: Repaying the Debt

When Chen Mo returned to Lulong Village again, it was already early summer. The time taken to conquer Wuhuan in the north was not long for a war. The valley that was sparsely populated in the past was now densely populated with people.

When Tadun arrived at Lulong Village under the escort of the soldiers, he found that it had changed. It was no longer the same as when he came before. Lulong Village had been renovated and seemed to be more comprehensive. Outside Lulong Village was a huge deep pit, which seemed to be digging the foundation. The pit was very deep and wide, almost across the entire valley, close to the lake at the mouth of the valley, where Han craftsmen were casting dams.

"My king~"

Some Wuhuan people recognized him and couldn't help shouting loudly, attracting more people's attention. Many Wuhuan people gathered here, as if they wanted to protect their king.

"Go back and keep digging!" The Han army around them waved their whips indifferently, driving the Wuhuan people away. Some people wanted to resist, but the sharpshooters standing outside the pit quickly bent their bows and shot them to death. In this huge pit, the Han army's suppression of the Wuhuan people was very bloody. If they resisted, they would be shot immediately!

"What are you doing!?" Tadun was angry. Seeing his people being abused like animals, even worse than animals, he couldn't stand it and wanted to resist.

"Bang bang~" What greeted him was a beating. Almost all the soldiers in Lulongzhai were recruited from Youzhou. Many of their homes were destroyed in the looting of the Wuhuan people last year. They had no mercy on the Wuhuan king, the culprit of the massacre of Youzhou. As long as he was not the one, they would beat him to death. Along the way, if Tadun did something wrong, he would be beaten and even whipped.

Tadun suddenly turned around, his eyes were as cold as a wolf that wanted to eat someone, and he let the fist hit him, his eyes were cold and scary.

This was the first time that the Han soldiers who took action saw such eyes on this prisoner. Their eyes turned cold and they hit harder. There was no verbal communication, just beating.

The war was over, but there was one last thing, and Chen Mo had to preside over it himself, so he returned to Lulong Village, which was the main place that triggered this northern expedition.

Tadun was escorted to the tower by the soldiers. With a bruised face, he finally met Chen Mo, the man who brought the catastrophe of extermination to Wuhuan, the devil in the hearts of all Wuhuan people, and the enemy of Wuhuan. He destroyed the Wuhuan tribe, captured Liucheng, and burned the royal court. The dignity of Wuhuan was trampled under his feet, and even his spine was broken.

But when he really saw Chen Mo at this moment, Tadun was a little dazed. He had thought about Chen Mo's appearance many times. Perhaps he was a rough and heroic man, or a man full of domineering like Lu Bu. After all, in Wuhuan and even the entire grassland, most heroes look like this.

But when he really saw Chen Mo, Tadun was a little disappointed. It was not that he was not good-looking. Chen Mo had been handsome since he was a child. Now he was over thirty years old. He had the calmness of a mature man and a bit of elegance. He looked like a weak scholar, but the majesty that occasionally revealed between his eyebrows made people feel awe.

His appearance can be said to be perfect, the kind that makes people feel comfortable, but he is definitely not a hero in the eyes of the grassland people. He is not as strong as Tadun. Under the wide Confucian robe, it is hard to tell how strong he is, but he should be very thin. But it was such a person who almost exterminated Wuhuan, which made Tadun a little unacceptable.

"My lord, Tadun is here!" Cao Xing bowed to Chen Mo and bowed.

"Are you Tadun?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Tadun. The smile on his face made Tadun a little dazed. What was that faint affinity?

"Are you Chen Mo?" Tadun snorted coldly and raised his proud head proudly.

"How dare you, a defeated thief, call my master's name directly!?" Cao Xing's face changed, and he slapped Tadun in the face with his backhand, and the force directly hit Tadun's head on the enemy tower.

"He is your master, not my master!" Tadun sneered.

"Forget it, a dying man, give him some dignity." Chen Mo waved his hand, signaling Cao Xing not to beat him anymore. For such a man, physical pain could not make him subdue.

"Yes!" Cao Xing agreed and stopped.

Chen Mo walked to the coffin beside him, fumbled with it, and said without turning back: "King Tadun? Do you know who is in this coffin?"

"It can't be my Wuhuan people." Tadun glanced at the coffin. When he was brought up, his eyes were attracted by the coffin. This coffin was too eye-catching, and whose coffin would be placed here?

"If you are not a Wuhuan, you are not worthy of respect?" Chen Mo asked back: "This man is Bao Geng, he is my general, and has followed me for more than ten years. When I was still a military marquis in Luoyang, he was by my side. He has been through life and death for more than ten years. Does the king have any impression of him?"

Tadun remembered the Han general who stood on the top of Lulongzhai and fought to the last moment, even until his death, and then snorted coldly: "I only remember the warriors of my tribe. As for the so-called heroes of foreign tribes, what do they have to do with me?"

"Coincidentally, I have similar thoughts." Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Tadun, still with a warm smile on his face, but that smile made Tadun feel a chill in his heart: "I really want to know, since you had already captured this city and Bao Geng had died in the battle, why did you chop off his head?"

"I don't understand the rules of you Han people. He is an enemy and a defeated general. Since he was defeated, he has no right to stand! He must lie down even if he dies!" Tadun said proudly.

The surrounding Han soldiers unconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, their angry eyes as if they were real.

Tadun seemed to feel these gazes. He raised his head proudly and looked at these soldiers with contempt, as if he was the winner at this moment.

"It makes sense." To Bao Geng's disappointment, Chen Mo was not angry. The man kept a smile on his face as always, as if his words failed to cause the slightest fluctuation in the other party. However, Chen Mo smiled and said: "He who doesn't know is not guilty. , since you don’t understand, come to my country today and I will teach you.”

"How do you want to teach me? Use whatever means you have to show me the courage of my Karasuma warrior!" Tadun's face darkened and he snorted coldly. He was ready to accept any torture.

"I hate torture." Chen Mo asked Cao Xing to bring Tadun to the city wall so that he could see the scene outside the city, and waved to the outside.

Tadun watched with confusion as the Han soldiers in the pit quickly withdrew from the pit, and at the same time removed all things that could be climbed. A Karasuma prisoner wanted to follow him out, but was shot dead immediately, and his heart suddenly surged. Feeling an ominous premonition, he suddenly turned around, looked at Chen Mo, and roared: "What do you want to do!?"

"Keep watching." The smile on Chen Mo's face made Tadun very annoying at this moment. He stared at Chen Mo and wanted to rush forward immediately.

"Open the gate!" Under the city, at the connection between the lake and the pit, a soldier gave a cold order. Suddenly, he turned around and saw a soldier struggling to move a winch on the dam he had seen before to block the lake water. The sluice gate quickly opened, and the lake water began to pour down the channel into the deep pit.

Tadun watched this scene with his scalp numb, and his body trembled uncontrollably. In the deep pit that could not be seen at this glance, the densely packed figures were all Karasuma surrendered troops and Karasuma civilians.

"Stop... stop it quickly!" Tadun's eyes turned red, and he rushed towards Chen Mo desperately, but was held down by Cao Xing beside him, and roared angrily: "Don't you Han people say benevolence and righteousness? This is what you are doing. What!?"

"Benevolence and righteousness are for our own people, just like what you said just now, my king. What do foreigners have to do with me?" Chen Mo turned his head, the smile on his face was still friendly, but it made Tadun shudder.

"I surrender. I am willing to convince them. From now on, they are Han people and our own people!" Tadun struggled to look at Chen Mo and shouted.

"No need. If I take them in, I won't be able to face the innocent souls of the Han people who were killed by you in Yuyang and Liaoxi counties, let alone the thousands of heroic souls of the soldiers who died in Lulong Village!" Chen Mo smiled. Shaked his head.

There was more and more water in the pit, and the sounds of cursing, begging for mercy, and crying continued to sound from the pit, converging into one. Even those soldiers in Youzhou who had the hatred of breaking up their families were a little intolerable at this moment, but no one disobeyed the military orders. , today’s result is to avenge the Karasuma people for looting Youzhou. There are many Karasuma people here. The Karasuma people in Liucheng plus the captured Karasuma army number nearly 100,000, but the two counties of Yuyang and Liaoxi More Han people died in the plundering of Wuwan people, and they had no reason to sympathize with these people.

Chen Mo stood on the city wall and watched this scene indifferently.

"I was wrong, please, please let them go!" Tadun lost his mind for the first time. Even when he was defeated in the royal court and even when he was captured alive by Lu Bu, he did not despair. But at this moment, he really regretted it.

"If admitting mistakes is useful, how can there be so many wars in the world?" Chen Mo sighed: "Debts must be repaid, and mistakes must be repaid. It's just that this time, it must be repaid with blood."

"But they are right! They are innocent!" Tadun roared crazily.

"Who is not innocent? Aren't the people of Youzhou innocent? What have you done? Killing people, robbing food, and humiliating women. I at least gave these people dignity, but when you looted Youzhou, did you ever think of giving me the Han people? Dignity?" Chen Mo turned his head, and the indifference in his eyes chilled Tadun.

In the big pit under the city, someone struggled to climb out, but was quickly shot dead by the soldiers guarding the surrounding area. After all, not many northerners, especially the barbarians in the areas outside the Great Wall, knew how to drink water. A large number of people had already drowned in the pit. In the deep pit, water was still pouring down mercilessly.

"General!" Tadun knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Chen Mo. The kowtow made a loud banging sound. These people are dead. It will be difficult for Karasuma to survive on the grassland, let alone rise. In the end, it is very likely that he will be killed. When other tribes annexed, Karasuma needed these people: "The Han people are as numerous as stars, but I, Karasuma, only have this population. I beg the general to have mercy and give me Karasuma a chance to survive..."

At this moment, the arrogant Tadun finally lowered his arrogant head, and his emotions were almost out of control.

"There are many Han people, so I should be slaughtered by you?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Tadun. He couldn't suppress the anger in his laughter. What kind of bullshit is this? "Since you know you are weak, you shouldn't provoke the tiger. The consequences are not something you can bear. Today you, Karasuma, are exterminated because of your arrogance. Karasuma deserves to be exterminated!"

The shouts and pleas outside the city have gradually disappeared. Tadun's expression changed, he struggled to stand up, and rushed to the female wall. The huge pit has now turned into a lake, but there is no water in sight. There were densely packed corpses, and the lake water no longer flowed in. Tadun looked at this scene in a daze. In just a short moment, most of the Karasuma clan's population was wiped out here. Tadun suddenly lost all hope.

The sluice gate has been lowered again, and the soldiers around have begun to add the excavated soil back into the hole. This is a huge project, but everyone's work is quite effective.

The Wuhuan tribe has been crippled since then. The grassland is annexing other tribes every day. Perhaps soon, the severely injured Wuhuan will completely become history. In history books, Chen Mo may have a reputation for violence, but he doesn't care. This time, he has a clear conscience. What future generations say is their business. He has no right to comment. He will even let the historian record this incident in full. As for merits and demerits, at least for the current Han people, this is merit.

"Roar~" At this moment, Tadun broke free from the rope without knowing when, knocked Cao Xing away, and rushed towards Chen Mo with a roar. Even if he died today, he would drag Chen Mo down with him. Dian Wei, who was following Chen Mo, quickly took action, but because of the previous conversation, Tadun was too close to Chen Mo. At this distance, Dian Wei was too late to take action.

Chen Mo turned his head and looked at him coldly. He suddenly reached out and grabbed his fist. With five fingers exerting force, Tadun suddenly felt half of his body numb. His body was directly pulled by Chen Mo's turn and he fell to the ground.

Tadun was a little confused. He couldn't understand why Chen Mo, who looked gentle and weak, had such strong skills and strength. Before he could react, Dian Wei rushed up and stepped on him, letting the soldiers around him subdue him again.

"My guard is not good. Please punish me, lord!" Dian Wei and Cao Xing said to Chen Mo with shame.

Chen Mo picked up the rope that Tadun had broken on the ground. He was a little surprised that the rope was broken alive. He turned his head and looked at Tadun and smiled, "You are quite strong."

Tadun stared at Chen Mo fiercely and said grimly, "Even if I die, I will lead 100,000 wronged souls and turn into evil spirits to kill you, the Han!"

Chen Mo smiled, looked down at him and said, "If you can turn into evil spirits, I can kill your whole family again! Now, kneel in front of Bao Geng's coffin and use your life to atone for your sins to him!"

"Don't even think about it!" Tadun gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up, but this time it was Dian Wei who took action.

Dian Wei hated that Tadun almost hurt Chen Mo just now. He lifted him up roughly and made him kneel in front of Bao Geng's coffin, and picked up the iron halberd in his hand.

"Roar~" Tadun roared and tried to stand up. He couldn't accept that he had to kneel in front of the body of a defeated general and die in such a humiliating posture, but in front of Dian Wei, any struggle was obviously futile.

The halberd flashed with a cold light, and Tadun's head rolled in front of Bao Geng's body.

"Send someone to hang this head on the gate of Liucheng." Chen Mo glanced at Tadun's body coldly and ordered.

"Yes!"

Chen Mo kicked Tadun's body away, came to Bao Geng's coffin, fumbled with the coffin, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Bao Geng, let's go home!"
