Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 216
In the early hours of the morning, the chilling Taoshui River was filled with thick fog, the wind was cold, and the sky was slightly bright.

Inside a dilapidated low wall, several men leaned against the wall and slept soundly. The cold wind hit, making people wrapped in blankets and fell asleep again.

Suddenly, the horses in the yard kept neighing, obviously a little uneasy.

The men were awakened instantly, opened their eyes subconsciously, got up and held the spears against the wall.

Then a few men showed their eyes behind the wall and looked out of the wall, only to see a white mist outside the wall, extremely silent.

The burly man took out his riding bow, turned around the ruins secretly, and tried to check the enemy's situation.

But he has been away for a long time, and there is no movement outside the wall, and the silence is a little strange.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and they all had a bad way. Could it be that the scouts of the Han army caught up a few days ago!
Suddenly, "Whoo! Whoosh!" There was a sudden sound, and several feathered arrows pierced the air and struck.

Looking at the man outside the wall, he saw a sharp arrow coming out through the fog.Then in the next scene, the man screamed, the feather arrows pierced his eyes, and the man wailed for a while and died.

A man suddenly jumped up from the ground, jumped over the ruins, and tried to run to the river, followed by a person.

But the next feathered arrow came through the sky, and he had just stepped over the ruined wall when he was hit by an arrow in the back and fell staggeringly over the ruined wall.

Seeing this, a person behind him took out his riding bow, bent down and shot towards the outside of the wall, but there was no one there.

The last man gasped heavily and leaned against the corner, panicking in his heart.

"You are the only one left, surrender! I promise not to kill you." In the thick fog, a figure slowly walked out from behind the tree, and then four figures also appeared.

Outside the ruins, the head of a burly man was thrown in, and a rough voice said: "Except for you, everyone else is dead."

Hearing the voice close at hand, the man sighed and said, "I am willing to surrender!"

After finishing speaking, the man threw away the riding bow in his hand, raised his hand and stood up, signaling surrender, and slowly climbed over the ruins.

"Brother-in-law, I have already beheaded the one who fled!"

The speaker was young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with some Qiang accent mixed in, and his Chinese was not very standard.

With a riding bow on his waist, a bloody head in his left hand, and a sword in his right hand, the boy stepped forward.

"Ji Shichang, your wife and brother are mighty!" A man in a fiery red military uniform praised.

Ji Xi glared at the man fiercely, criticized Wang Jie and said: "I have no relatives in the army, call me Ji Shichang!"

"Of course, Master Ji." Wang Jie bowed his head and praised.

"Ji Shichang's shooting skills are getting better and better. Ji Shichang shoots at the thief, as if the thief deliberately hit the arrow. This arrow hits the pupil of the eye. It's amazing!" Jian's corpse, praised again and again.

Ji Xi smiled without saying a word, looked at the oncoming brother-in-law, and said a lesson: "Today you are arrogant and tried to cut off their escape route by yourself. If I hadn't shot the thief and seriously injured him, how would you have survived today?"

"Don't you know how far they can run without horses? When the time comes, we will catch up with them on horseback. They will be like weeds in the field. Let us chop and kill them. When encountering an enemy, use your brain first, don't be old." Thinking about rushing forward." Ji Xi reprimanded with frost on his face.

"Ji Shichang, your wife and brother are brave today, so don't blame too much!" The man stepped forward and persuaded: "It was my first time as a scout, and I went out to fight with Shichang. At that time in the mountains, I couldn't see anyone at all, so I panicked." No way. The first time Dalang went out to patrol the ring, he beheaded one level, which is much better than I was back then."

"These are the things I have learned from my years of fighting in the South and the North. Back then, I was trapped on Ma'an Mountain with the late emperor on the East Expedition. There were corpses scattered all over the field. It was really miserable. People who have no brains rushed up with all their brains, and they all died."

Ji Xi snorted lightly and said lightly.

"These words are all for his own good. If you don't teach them, you won't understand them. It all depends on enlightenment. Some people don't realize it until they die."

Everyone was silent, and they all knew the importance of experience during the days when they were licking blood on the knife edge, especially in Longyou.

"Chief Ji Shi, the captured person said that their mission this time is to explore the terrain in the upper and lower reaches of the Tao River." After the scout asked about the conversation, he reported,
Ji Xi pondered for a long time, and said: "Go back and report to Jiang Changshi, and hand this person over to Jiang Changshi."

"Go back! All the horses and weapons confiscated today will be divided equally." Ji Xi asked everyone to count the spoils and said.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the sound, and said in unison: "Ji Shichang is generous!"

Ji Xi waved his hand and said, "For the brothers who died, the family will share some things."

I can't help sighing for a while after seeing people who are parting from life and death.

After a while, the group returned to Didao, reported the military situation, and the prisoners were handed over to Jiang Wei. After completing the task, they went home to rest.

Ji Xi and Wang Jie rode on horses, talking while walking.

After Ji Xi withdrew the army and returned to the division with Lao Liu five or six years ago, he has been fighting with the army.

During the Northern Expedition, Ji Xi was promoted to Shichang because of his meritorious service in protecting food.

According to the military merits given by the imperial court at that time, if you go to Wudu County, you can get two hectares of land, and Longyou County can get three hectares of land ([-] mu), and you will also get a wife.

Ji Xi's heart was moved, Xiaofang from his hometown was also married, and no one in the village liked to marry a soldier, Ji Xi was alone again.

It is more difficult to get three hectares of land in the middle of Sichuan than to go to the sky. Going to Longxi County, there are three hectares of land and a wife. How can this not make Ji Xi's heart beat.

Ji Xi gritted her teeth, not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, and decided to make a fortune.

I don't know if the emigration to Longyou means emigration to the real side?

Ji Xi has been hunting in the mountains since he was a child, and he is good at archery. Who is afraid of anyone!
Ji Xi then took the initiative to apply for the recruitment, and with more than a hundred people, he traveled long distances to Didao, where he was resettled by Wei Yan in the upper reaches of Taoshui River.

The government also helped to find a beautiful daughter-in-law from Di, Mrs. Wang.

There were a hundred or so households who came with him, and they were collectively grouped into one mile.Ji Xi's shooting skills are outstanding, and his reputation has gradually grown.So he was appointed by Wei Yan as the head of the scouts, and led the sergeants to hunt and kill the scouts of the Wei army.

……

Jiang Wei and Wei Yan looked a little dignified. Looking at the military situation reported by Ji Xi and others, as well as the feedback from other scout teams, Guo Huai, governor of Liangzhou, made frequent changes, and seemed to be preparing to go south to Didao.

"General, I have received information from the Qiang people that Guo Huai wants to join forces with the Qiang people in April to attack me together." Jiang Wei looked at the information in his hand and said in a deep voice.

Wei Yan caressed his beard and asked, "I don't know how Boyue thinks how to defeat the enemy?"

"At present, I have 5000 people under my account, so I still need to be cautious." Jiang Wei replied after thinking about it.

Wei Yanfu smiled and said: "Let's not consider the strength of the troops. If the troops are not enough, I should ask for help."

After a pause, Wei Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "Longyou County has just been settled, and the Qiang people have just been appeased. If the Wei army is allowed to invade Longyou County, the people will be terrified, and they need to find a way to retreat from the enemy."

Jiang Wei pondered for a long time, looked up at Wei Yan, and said, "Unless we take the initiative to attack, it is imperative for Guo Huai to invade Longyou."

"Haha! This general has exactly that intention." Wei Yan put his arms behind his back and smiled.

Jiang Wei was also a bold man, seeing Wei Yan's intentions, he got up and cupped his hands and said, "Why don't we lead the army to invade Liangzhou first, encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, so that Guo Huai can't escape and go south."

Wei Yan clapped his hands and smiled, the more he looked at Jiang Wei, the more he liked him, he felt that Jiang Wei's style of using troops was quite similar to his own, and they all liked to do tricks.

"That's exactly what I mean. I wonder if Bo Yue is willing to help Yan?" Wei Yan looked at Jiang Wei and said.

Jiang Wei bowed his hands and saluted, and said solemnly: "Wei is willing to listen to the general's orders!"

Under the lights, Wei Yan and Jiang Wei pointed at the map of Liangzhou, discussing the strategy of sending troops.

(I have something to do tonight, two updates for the time being, and three updates tomorrow!)
