My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 101 Xun Lun

"Kill him...kill him..."

"Hang his body up!!!"

Hysterical Xirong language resounded, and a fat figure like a mountain walked back and forth, waving its palms covered with agate and ruby ​​rings. Several Xirong warriors dragged the blood-stained corpse from the ground, tied it with a rope, and dragged it to the flagpole in the distance.

Several tents collapsed, and more than a dozen Xirong warriors fell in a pool of blood and were being taken away by their tribesmen.The surrounding area was full of young and strong Xirong people, with their strong bodies exposed and the tattoos on their bodies. There were also fierce Xirong women with a scimitar in one hand and holding a child in the other. They were staring fiercely at those still alive on the ground like she-wolves. A Yan man.

"Take him down, don't let him die so easily."

The tribesmen around the Yelang Dynasty waved their hands and said, "It's all gone." They also looked at the Yan merchants who came to do business in the tribe, and a smile suddenly appeared on their plump faces: "It has nothing to do with you, do your business well and don't cause trouble!"

He looked at the body that was hoisted up the flagpole. He knew very well who this body was. He did not expect that the head of the Qi family, the general of Yantang Pass, would come over with an entourage to kill him. , when he was still squatting in the pit, he heard the sound of fighting spreading towards him...

At this moment, I was not only surprised and confused, but also had a vague premonition.

"What happened at Yantang Pass? Where are my Xie Cheya and three thousand Qingqi..."

He looked past the corpse on the flagpole and looked at the blue sky, trying hard to find the answer among the white clouds.Across the sky, hundreds of miles to the east, inside Yantang Pass, groups of Xiliang troops entered the pass, replaced the guards at the city gate, and took over the city wall.

In the streets, many people stood under the eaves or hid in their homes, holding their wives and daughters in their arms, looking through the doors and windows. Iron cavalry patrolled past with spears in hand, with some worry and fear in their eyes.

In front of the Qi family's mansion.

Hundreds of soldiers surrounded the huge mansion. Everyone from the Qi family, big and small, stood in front of the mansion, lowering their heads in awe, not looking at the several generals lined up in front of them.

"Qi family members come out!" Feiyan Hongyun was standing up. Lu Bu lowered his halberd and glanced coldly at Qi Xuan, Qi Youhu, Qi Baoguo's wife, and a pair of orphans and widowers who came out.

"Come here!" Lu Bu turned his head slightly, and several wolf riders dismounted from their saddles and strode towards Qi's family with their swords pressed down.

The orphaned and widowed mother was trembling with fear. She hugged her son tightly and shrank back. The child hugged his mother tightly with a look of panic in his eyes: "Please, my family hasn't done anything. My husband has been there for several years." Why did you want to arrest our mother and son when we were killed in front of the city wall!"

Qi Xuan and Qi Youhu quickly stood up and stood in front of their mother and cousin, looking at the four rebel generals opposite.

"Generals, we have surrendered!"

"slow!"

On the other side, Guan Yu opened his eyes slightly and sounded like a bell.He couldn't bear to see this the most. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Lu Bu: "General Lu, how can you handle it on your own? It's better to leave it to the general."

Zhang Fei rushed forward, and before Lu Bu could speak, he raised his voice: "Qi Youhu, take your family all back to the mansion. No orders are given, and you are not allowed to come out. You can ask the guards to report to the four of me for any expenses."

"You two!"

There was a coldness in Lu Bu's eyes, and he slowly raised the halberd on his horse's side.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not afraid of him either. A group of horse heads faced him, the Green Dragon Sword deflected and fell to the ground, and the eight-foot-long snake spear was swung away with a buzz, and Zhang Fei was lying on the side of the horse.

"What my second brother said is what I said."

"Three generals!" Ma Chao frowned and looked both ways. He waved to the soldiers to bring the Qi family into the mansion. After all, it was really inappropriate to make such a fuss outside.

He urged his horse to come to the middle. He banged the tiger-headed golden spear and inserted it diagonally in the middle. He raised his hand and said, "General Guan, I am not feeling well right now and there is a conflict." He then said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, Chao I understand that you hate these people, but it is more appropriate for the general to deal with the surrendered generals. You and I only need to take them into custody, and we cannot act on impulse."

The surrounding soldiers looked over. Lu Bu lowered his halberd, stared at Guan and Zhang, and snorted coldly.During this period of time, he watched Dong Zhuo change, and he also tried to improve the shortcomings in the past. It was not until he heard Ma Chao's advice that the anger in his heart slowly subsided.

"Then just listen to Meng Qi!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with hundreds of wolf riders.

Guan Yu also snorted, slowly closed his eyes, and said to Ling Qi behind him: "I guess the general will be here soon. Please deliver the news here and don't leave anything behind."

"Yes!" A knight next to him accepted the order, got on his horse, and rushed towards the street.

"This matter is complicated, so let the general have a headache." Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled, then asked the soldiers staying here to take care of it, and then invited Ma Chao to the annex where he was stationed in the city, "Meng Qi comes into my brother's tent. I've never seen him before, so I'm going to have a good drink today." Zhang Fei reined in his horse and followed him, walking on the other side of Ma Chao, laughing loudly: "When I saw Meng Qi yesterday, I thought of that day when I closed the door The first battle, now that I think about it, it seems like it just happened not long ago, haha, from now on we can fight the enemy side by side again, but it’s a pity that the opponent is no longer the Cao thief.”

"Liu Shijun is also here?" Ma Chao was also happy. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words: "Is your Majesty at the general's place?"

"It's at my second brother's place!" Zhang Feihun didn't care about the slip of the tongue and pointed at Guan Yu's chest. Only then did Ma Chao discover that there was a spiritual tablet stuffed between Guan Yu's half-slanted green robe.

The corner of his mouth twitched, but he still held the gun in front of the memorial tablet and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty."

There was a faint sound in the air.

"You're welcome, Meng Qi. You can catch up with Yun Chang and Yide."

As Liu Bei's voice dissipated, the three of them arrived at the annex where they were staying. After dismounting, they said "Please!" to each other and walked into the building together.

At present, Yantang Pass is under the control of the Xiliang Army, and trade to and from the grassland has been temporarily closed. The [-] soldiers and horses originally belonging to the Qi family have all disarmed and gathered in a corner of the city gate, close to the mountain.

At this time, the fast horse passed by passed out of the pass, and after extending the official road for ten miles, it turned to the south. When the sky was sinking, they camped in the forest. When it got light, they immediately got on their horses and started on their way.

On the second day after arriving, Lingqi, who was delivering the news, finally saw a long queue of people winding along the border between Yantang Pass and Rongzhou.

There were many banners, and the infantry of the Bingzhou Army marching in two rows were marching through the dust and smoke. From time to time, cavalry ran past on both sides. In the distance, in the middle of the team, a strange cart was slowly driving along the rugged road. On the side, a tall figure Dian Wei was wearing iron armor and walking with a pair of halberds on his back. From time to time, he stretched out his big palm to help the swaying carriage.

The interior of the carriage is like a staircase, with a spiritual statue embedded in the slot so that it will not fall down no matter how it shakes.

At the bottom, there is a low table. Su Chen, who is wearing armor, is sitting cross-legged behind it and is reading the "New Book of Meng De". These are some of Cao Cao's experiences in the southern and northern wars. In addition to some formations, there are also Regarding the use of terrain, how soldiers advance through each other, etc...

"Lord, there is an order coming from outside."

"Let him come over."

Su Chen's faint voice came from the carriage.After a while, Ling Qi, who was coming from afar, rode beside the carriage and told Su Chen inside about the surrender of Yantang Pass and the story of Qi Baoguo's death on a single horse through the curtain.

Inside, the book of war was closed, Su Chen raised his face and leaned back, gradually narrowing his eyes.

"You think that if you die, you can be done with it?"

Thinking of the tragic scenes he saw along the way in Yunqi County, he wished he could cut Qi Baoguo's five horses into pieces and leave all the chickens and dogs behind. But just as he was about to issue the order, he held back his words.

"Go and ask General Zhang to come over." He ordered the commander outside.

The order came back after a while to deliver the order. Zhang Liao came with him. He was invited to the car by Su Chen. After listening to the story, Zhang Liao frowned slightly.

"The general has not thought about how to deal with the people of the Qi family. It is best not to enter Yantang Pass. After all, you will have to express your position once you enter. You might as well send someone back to Ding'an to ask the chief historian (Xun Yu)."

"Why?"

"Chang Shi Xun is familiar with this kind of thing. He may be able to explain the general's confusion."

Su Chen nodded, and then summoned another commanding officer, wrote a letter, and asked him to return to Ding'an quickly. As for Yantang Pass, as Zhang Liao said, it is not suitable to enter now.

According to his previous thoughts, the Qi family would simply kill them, but upon further reflection, there were many aspects involved.

After that, they arrived at Yantang Pass and stationed directly outside the pass. This movement made the generals in the pass tremble with fear. They didn't know what Su Chen's intention was. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were also a little confused, so they came to the camp to ask, and they were all ignored. Wei stood outside, saying that Su Chen had caught the wind and cold after traveling a long distance and needed to rest.

On the fourth day after entering the village, the fast horse racing on the post road returned with Xun Yu's letter.

As soon as the letter from Dian Wei arrived in the camp, Su Chen couldn't wait to unfold it. The first sentence above was: "The general asked, but Yu didn't know how to answer. He just thought about the time of Chu and Han, Han Emperor Gaozu and Xiang Ji, Gaozu How can one rule the world if he cannot command the troops as well as the overlord?"
