Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 342: Han-Hu Conflict
"That's enough, shut up! If you dare to say another word, I'll chop you down first!"

Pan Yun's eyes were bloodshot as he drew out his sword and pointed it at Zhao Kui.

"My lord's plan is of great benefit to the country and the people. Although I am not talented, I cannot watch the general make a big mistake! What's more, even if your brother lost an arm, the lord has already given him good land and houses, and enough money and food as compensation, so that he can get married normally in the future. Why be so impulsive? The general should not be resentful towards the lord because of your brother's injury. The battle was so brutal that even the lord and General Zhu Ye almost lost their lives. Your brother was able to save his life, which is a blessing in disguise. How could you..."

"Noisy!"

Pan Yun completely lost his patience and swung his sword. Zhao Kui felt a chill on his neck and saw a strand of hair slowly falling down.

"If you dare to say anything more, I will make your head and hair end up like this. Get out now!"

"You...you rude and reckless man! I have been ordered by my lord to temporarily take over the position of county magistrate. I will not allow you to do anything reckless!"

Zhao Kui was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Pan Yun and glared at him, but the other party ignored him completely.

Pan Yun looked outside from time to time and complained, "Damn it, why doesn't this damn rain stop? If it doesn't stop, how can my brother Xian get married? The adults said that when marrying a Hu woman, you must pray to heaven and earth in front of the people of both Han and Hu, so that those women will have a greater chance of getting pregnant. But my brother Xian's body can't stand this kind of weather and rain and snow. Damn it! Even God bullies us brothers!"

Pan Yun was so angry that he swung his sword and chopped off a corner of the table in front of him.

"Ugh……"

Zhao Kui knew that he could not persuade him, so he threw up his sleeves in anger, rushed out of the door, and tried to find a way to appease the Xianbei people.

Although most of the Xianbei people only learned the simplest Chinese in a short period of time, Zhao Kui had been herding horses for the Xianbei people for many years, so he naturally knew the Xianbei language. Many of the Xianbei people also recognized him, especially because he was friendly and often went to the Xianbei people's tents to teach and care for them, so the Xianbei people still trusted him very much.

As soon as everyone saw him coming out, they all gathered around him.

"Sir, please let my daughter go. She is only thirteen years old..."

"We have always been very obedient and have never had any intention of resisting. Please talk to that military officer and ask him not to embarrass my daughter. Please!"

"Yes, yes, I have just learned how to weave. I can work every day and weave for you Han people. I only ask you to return my daughter to me..."

The parents and family members of more than a dozen girls, as well as a few Xianbei people who came to help them, all pleaded with Zhao Kui.

"Everyone, get up quickly. Let's talk first. Don't worry, my master has repeatedly reiterated that this kind of thing of forcibly seizing a woman is absolutely forbidden. This general was just impulsive. When he calms down, he will return your daughter to you."

When the Xianbei people heard what he said, many of them believed it and their expressions softened a little.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the Xianbei crowd.

"Nonsense, don't believe him! That Han general said he would take our girls to sleep with his brother, and he also said if he couldn't give birth to a son, he would kill all the girls!"

"That's right. The Han Chinese have always bullied us and never considered us their own people. Isn't it enough that we are bullied by the Han Chinese every day?"

"Don't believe him. Everyone rush in and take back your child. The worst that can happen is death. We Xianbei people are not afraid of death!"

The ordinary Xianbei people were somewhat submissive and cowardly, but they were not completely heartless.

At this time, these voices were instigated. In addition, although Liu He had always emphasized that the Han and the Hu were equal, it was not so easy to really do it. In Qiangyin County, the status of the Han people was obviously higher than that of the Xianbei people. Although the Han people were intimidated by the majesty of the government and did not dare to bully the Xianbei people openly, they had been enslaved by the Xianbei people for many years, and even their family members had been killed. Hatred made many Han people secretly make things difficult for the Xianbei people.

These voices aroused the long-buried resentment in the hearts of the Xianbei people. Although the vast majority of people chose to continue to endure, there were still a few Xianbei men who clearly did not intend to continue to endure.

They pushed the crowd aside and rushed directly into the county government.

"Get out of the way, we want to take our daughter back!"

"You Han people have always looked down on us. Let's go. Give our daughter back to us. At worst, we can go back to the grassland!" A team of guards at the gate of the county government stopped them directly. The long spears flashed with cold light, which made the impulsive Xianbei men seem to regain some calm.

"Don't be like this, everyone. Believe me! My master already knows about this, and he will definitely give you justice..."

"Don't listen to him. The Han people are clearly banding together to bully us. They looked down on us before, and this time I heard that even the last hundred thousand of our Xianbei troops were defeated by them. You see, the Han people have been looking at us with even more contempt these days than before!"

"If this continues, all our daughters will be snatched away by them to bear children, and our sons will be taken away by them to do hard labor. It won't be long before we all die at the hands of the Han people!"

"We Xianbei people are blessed by the gods. We were once so glorious that the Han people wanted to be our slaves. How can we bear such humiliation now? Everyone, follow me and charge in!"

Instigated by these same voices, a group of Xianbei men became so excited that they completely forgot what kind of life they had lived under the rule of their own Xianbei royal family. The "glory" of the Xianbei people, which had nothing to do with them, now seemed to have become their glory!

One by one, the Xianbei men rushed forward recklessly!

Before Zhao Kui gave any order on how to deal with the situation, angry and excited voices began to be heard from the Han crowd watching the excitement not far away.

"These barbarian dogs are so ungrateful! They don't even think about what kind of life they lived before and what kind of life they live now. They are now well-fed and well-clothed, and each of them is much stronger than they were six months ago. Who gave them this life? It was given to them by us Han people!"

"That's right. They are a group of people who have relied on the help and charity of us Han people to live a good life and survive until now. Now our general of the Anmin Army, who has made great contributions, wants these women to be concubines. That is their blessing. How shameless!"

"The Hu dogs are all barbarians after all, and they are ignorant of civilization. They even dared to attack the county government. Everyone, come on, let's teach them how powerful we Han people are!"

"Protect Lord Zhao!"

As soon as these few words were spoken, a large group of Han people became excited and swarmed out, surrounding the Xianbei people. The Xianbei men who attacked the county government were soon beaten and kicked by a group of Han men.

"Stop it, stop it now! You've caused a big disaster..."

Zhao Kui was anxious and rushed forward himself, trying to separate those who were fighting. However, he was just an ordinary person after all, and did not have the bravery of Liu He and others. How could the power of one person play any role among hundreds or thousands of people?
Zhao Kui was just about to pull apart a Han and Xianbei pair who were fighting each other, when he suddenly felt a pain in his arm.

He looked down and found that his arm had been cut open with a bloody wound without him noticing!

"They actually injured Lord Zhao!"

"Master Zhao is our benefactor. These barbarians are ungrateful. Let's all go and avenge Master Zhao!"

Zhao Kui's blood instantly ignited the battlefield, and many Han people who were still hesitating and watching rushed over.

There were only a hundred or so Xianbei people kneeling at the gate of the county government. How could they resist the gang fight of so many Han people? What's more, there were many women among them.

Not long after, the shrill cry of a woman could be heard everywhere.

I saw a Xianbei woman slumped on the ground, hugging a Xianbei man and crying bitterly. Blood was constantly flowing from the back of the Xianbei man's head, and in a blink of an eye, the surrounding ground was dyed red.

"Agul was killed. The Han people killed our brothers!"

"Revenge for my brother!"

Now the anger of the Xianbei people was completely ignited!
At this moment, a cry of killing came from a distance. Everyone looked back and found that it was other Xianbei people inside and outside the city who were rushing towards this side.

"Kill all the Han people! Kill all the Han people!"

The people on both sides finally started a fierce battle in the streets of the city!
The peace between the two tribes that Liu He had managed to maintain for a while was shattered in an instant, like a thin piece of paper...
