One of Cui Yan's men is currently working closely with Hu Axiong and is quite popular. His name is Cui Hu.
Because Cui Hu and Hu Axiong ate people together, and they used all sorts of different methods to do so.
The jade-like body lying horizontally, the live human piercing, is this person's masterpiece.
He would do anything to please Hu Axiong.
They robbed and looted, forcibly took women, burned, killed, and plundered—committing all sorts of atrocities.
Cui Hu knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold by Hu Axiong's side, he definitely had to cater to his preferences.
Sure enough, Hu Axiong admired him greatly and colluded with him to do all sorts of bad things.
That day, Cui Hu and Hu Axiong were drinking together. When they were a little tipsy, Cui Hu told Hu Axiong that he had brought over another stunning beauty, and that she would definitely taste amazing.
Upon hearing this, Hu Axiong was extremely excited. He was already quite tipsy from drinking, so he told Cui Hu to serve the dishes immediately.
Yes, live human sashimi is one of their dishes.
The girl's mouth was gagged, and muffled sounds could be heard coming from inside.
Hu Axiong's eyes lit up at the sight.
She is absolutely stunning; not only is her face gorgeous, but her figure is also incredible.
He sat on the high platform, drunkenly ordering, "She's the one. Someone, make me some sashimi."
The girl's sobs grew louder.
Hu Axiong felt the face was somewhat familiar, but because he had drunk too much, it only flashed through his mind and he couldn't recall anything more.
After the dish was served, Hu Axiong ate the slices of meat with great satisfaction.
"Haha, delicious!"
Cui Hu busied himself serving him meat and showered him with compliments, making Hu Axiong even happier, and he drank quite a bit more wine again.
Hu Axiong didn't wake up until noon the next day, feeling a splitting headache.
He called out in a hoarse voice, "Someone come here."
His guards immediately came over and asked, "General, what are your orders?"
Hu Axiong shook his head, as if remembering something, and asked, "Is there anything to do today?"
The head guard said, "Yesterday, Deputy General Zhang said that Princess Wen will arrive in the next couple of days."
Hu Axiong slapped his forehead. Of course, Princess Wen should be arriving today.
No one here, except him, had ever seen Princess Wen.
He had only met her once, when Princess Wen barged in at the invitation of King Wen.
That happened last year. He returned from suppressing a rebellion and met the fifteen-year-old Princess Wen for the first time.
Hu Axiong was stunned; he never imagined that such a beautiful woman existed in the world.
He thought how wonderful it would be if King Wen could marry Princess Wen to him, then he would divorce his current wife.
Now, the thought of Princess Wen's imminent arrival immediately relieved Hu Axiong's headache and made him feel strong. He then ordered his men to prepare to welcome Princess Wen.
But no one heard anything after waiting and waiting. He had already sent out several groups of people to investigate.
The last group rushed back with news: "Princess Wen's guards were intercepted and killed, and Princess Wen's whereabouts are now unknown."
"Who ambushed them?"
"I don't know, because there are no survivors."
"Is there any remains of Princess Wen?"
No.
Princess Wen's attire was certainly different from others, but after searching for a long time, no one dressed like Princess Wen could be found.
"Investigate! Investigate right now!"
"yes."
The results of the investigation almost made Hu Axiong sit on the ground.
It turned out that Cui Hu led his men to intercept and kill Princess Wen's guards, and then kidnapped Princess Wen.
The reason we knew it was Cui Hu who led the ambush was because Cui Hu had already fled with his troops and left a letter informing us of the incident.
It was emphasized that Princess Wen had already been taken advantage of by Hu Axiong.
Hu Axiong then remembered the dish from last night.
It turned out that she was Princess Wen.
And for some unknown reason, the news that Hu Axiong had intercepted and killed Princess Wen's guards and eaten Princess Wen spread like wildfire in less than a day.
Hu Axiong could no longer sit still.
He knew very well how much the King and the old Queen Mother valued and loved this Princess Wen.
If he knew this, he would definitely kill him.
Hu Axiong immediately led his troops in rebellion.
When King Wen heard this, he was so angry that he fainted. The old queen was even worse; she fainted and died.
After King Wen regained consciousness, he suddenly aged considerably.
Having lost his mother and his beloved sister, how could he possibly let it go?
"Men, attack Hu Axiong and tear him to pieces!"
Hu Axiong was also very anxious at this time. He led his men to kill Wen Wang's men and rebelled against Wen Wang.
But where can he go?
He did send a letter of surrender to Ma Zhigang, hoping that Ma Zhigang would take him in.
He also sent a letter to Mo Ke, the prefect of Zhonggui Prefecture, requesting that he be taken in.
The lack of response from Ma Zhigang left Hu Axiong feeling uncertain.
Mo Ke's letter arrived, saying that if needed, one could come to Zhonggui Mansion.
Hu Axiong hesitated, after all, Mo Ke's place was not as good as Ma Zhigang's.
At this moment, Ma Zhigang was asking Cui Yan, "Hu Axiong is willing to surrender. If we accept, we will gain another fierce general and eight thousand soldiers. Why have you been opposing it all along?"
Cui Yan said, "Hu Axiong is a bandit with wolfish ambitions. He is not easy to control. King Wen has treated him very well these past few years, but he still rebelled at the drop of a hat."
As for the claim that Princess Wen was "eaten" by him, it's likely that he coveted her beauty, and when she refused, he killed her.
How could you possibly accept such an ungrateful person? It would only tarnish your reputation.
Ma Zhigang pondered, "We can pretend to accept his surrender, then slowly deplete his forces before dealing with him."
"My lord, no! Such a person will only bring disaster if we accept him. In any case, he has already fallen out with King Wen, and King Wen will certainly not forgive him. Why bring the war here?"
Ma Zhigang listened to the advice. Although it was a pity for such a valiant general and eight thousand soldiers, since Cui Yan opposed it, it must be wrong.
Therefore, Ma Zhigang did not accept Hu Axiong's surrender.
Hu Axiong accepted King Wen's revenge, and King Wen sent 30,000 soldiers to attack Hu Axiong.
The disparity in numbers was too great, so King Wen spared no expense.
No matter how powerful Hu Axiong was, he could hardly withstand so many soldiers.
They were utterly defeated in an instant.
In the end, Hu Axiong had no choice but to lead his remaining troops directly into Zhonggui Mansion.
Mo Ke then sent someone to greet Hu Axiong.
Hu Axiong brought more than 5,000 people with him, and such a large target could not be hidden from Mo Yuhua.
Mo Yuhua questioned Mo Ke, asking why he would take in such a traitor.
Mo Ke retorted, "He is the Prefect of Zhonggui Prefecture, not Mo Yuhua."
Mo Ke was also frustrated. After things stabilized this time, he wanted to take back military power, but Mo Yuhua delayed returning to hand over military power, citing instability and the presence of small groups of bandits causing trouble.
Mo Ke then realized that he had nurtured Mo Yuhua's ambition.
But he was powerless to do anything about it; once military power was given, it was not easy to take it back.
With Hu Axiong's five thousand troops, plus the ten thousand troops he still controlled, they were more than enough to balance Mo Yuhua's power.
