My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 94
The eagle hits the sky.

A high-pitched neighing screamed across the gradually darkening sky, and banners jumped out of the mountains and headed straight for Yunqi. Changchuan County, which had already received the news, came out in unison.

Le Jin and Li Dian set up a welcoming formation, waiting for the arrival of the troops in front.

Among the rolling hills and lush green mountains, Marquis Yun Qi's [-] soldiers and horses came out first. He sat on his horse and looked at the vast fields and mountains. There was still smoke rising in the distance, slowly floating in the air.

"My Yunqi County..."

He murmured, and scouts came on flying horses to tell him about the losses suffered by several counties in Yunqi. He was so angry that his old face turned red, he suddenly waved his arm, and pulled out his sword with a clang. Come.

"Are those Xirong barbarians still there?"

"Back to the Marquis, I saw them being chased by the cavalry of Ding'an County before I took up my post!"

The anger on Marquis Yun's face finally calmed down a little, and he showed doubts: "Cavalry from Ding'an City?"

-

In the sky, an eagle chirped. When everyone raised their heads, the tiny black dot suddenly folded its wings and swooped down like a sharp arrow, reaching dozens of feet in the air. It spread its wings with a 'swish', and the huge wings lifted up The shadow quickly passed over everyone's heads and flew towards the Ding'an Army that was slowly coming out in front.

A giant man raised his arm, and the eagle fell steadily, flapping its wings from time to time. ,

A banner with the word "Ding'an" written on it accompanied the [-] Ding'an troops. Su Chen led Fang Xuejun, Dian Wei, Dong Zhuo, and Li Jue out and came to the side of Yun Qihou, reining in his horse and standing still. Su Chen came forward to Lejin. , Li Dian raised his hands.

"Thank you two generals for defending the city."

As he spoke, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Fang Xuejun also bowed their hands in salute, which was the respect due to the generals who were guarding the city.

"Jin (Dian) dare not take credit!" Le Jin and Li Dian returned the greeting in unison with their hands raised.

Marquis Yun Yun on the side looked envious. Le Jin would not say anything else. This man named Li Dian seemed to be quite capable of leading the army.He doesn't understand where this general's charm comes from?Even if he was the first to cause trouble, the first to dare to challenge the imperial court, was young and handsome, and had more courage and courage than others of his age, wouldn't there be so many people taking refuge in him?
He has been following the uprising for some time and has not seen many capable people come to vote.

In the midst of his thoughts, the two generals over there lowered their hands. One of the generals named Le Jin stepped forward and asked Su Chen to go to Changchuan County.

"General, please come to Changchuan County to stay and have a rest."

"No, I want to see the tragic situation of being raped by the Xirong people..." Su Chen nodded and headed forward first. His voice said: "...I am a very vengeful person, so I must keep the scene in my heart. I’ll give it back to them in the future!”

Le Jin turned around and got on his horse, tilted his head and said to the old man aside: "Mancheng, take the Ding'an soldiers to station in Changchuan first. Let them have a good rest during this trip."

They were all old partners. Li Dian nodded in agreement, and then raised his hand to Yunqi Hou Wu Huizhi and Fang Xuejun. When he saw Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, he hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand, which was regarded as an expression of gratitude. .

Li Dian, who had just arrived, was still a little uncomfortable with these two people.

Soon, the troops and horses separated, and Li Dian led the Ding'an army back to Changchuan. Marquis Yunqi also asked his generals to take the [-] Rongzhou troops back to the barracks first. Then, he urged his horse to follow Su Chen, also wanting to see what he was doing. What a mess Yunqi County was in.

The scope of Changchuan County is relatively good, and the people in the village are well protected by Le Jin and Li Dian. However, some of the fields with green seedlings have been trampled by the cavalry. After some repairs, this year's harvest should not be affected.

Everyone's mood gradually sank as they headed toward the border of Yunqi County. Su Chen's face remained indifferent, but for Fang Xuejun, who was often by his side, she knew that the man's heart was on the verge of exploding at this moment.

Along the road, corpses can be seen everywhere, including men, women, old and young. From a few people to dozens of people were killed. Some women with good looks and figures, their clothes were messy, died together with their men.

There are still unburnt charred logs in the forest, and there are only a few wooden piles left in the thatched house inside. There should be no living people.After only walking a few miles, Fang Xuejun, as a young lady in a boudoir, couldn't bear the tragedy she saw on the way. Her face turned pale, her whole body trembled, and her eyes were full of tears.

Further ahead, human traces can finally be seen on the roads and fields. Most of them are ordinary people. When they heard the Xirong people retreating, they rushed home immediately. Some people walked halfway and stopped when they saw the bodies on the roadside. Come down, then hold the body and cry loudly.

One of the old farmers was walking in the opposite direction. He was carrying a hoe and walked past the crowd expressionlessly.

Perhaps because of their similar age, Dong Zhuo called him out.

"What are you doing with your hoe?"

When the old farmer saw the people riding horses and many of them being guarded by soldiers, he didn't dare to just leave. He stopped and pointed to the woods not far ahead.

"Digging a grave."

"To your old wife?"

"There are also sons and daughters-in-law." The old farmer had no expression on his face, but his eyes were a little numb: "...the two grandsons and one granddaughter are going to be buried together. When they go to the grave in the future, they will go up together. They will also be buried underneath. I can have someone to take care of me.”

After saying that, the old farmer walked toward the forest over there with his hoe.

Su Chen stared at the horse's mane without looking back at him, but every word the old man said told the story of this tragedy.He asked in a low voice: "Mr. Dong, was the burning of Luoyang more tragic than this?"

Li Jue, who was beside Dong Zhuo, felt his heart skip a beat and his whole body tensed up.Dong Zhuo looked at the old farmer walking away. He was silent for a moment: "Why do you mention this again? At that time, I was in a high position and issued an order, which was executed by the people below. When they left Luoyang, they started to set fire to kill people and relocate the people. , I can't see how miserable it is. But Zhiran (Li Jue) knows it."

The hair on Li Jue's side stood on end. As members of the Xiliang clan, what they feared the most was the mention of Luoyang and Chang'an.

However, Su Chen did not ask Li Jue, but affirmed.

"It should be ten times worse than this."

After walking for a while, they turned to the official road of Yunqi County, where there was a village belonging to the Fang family. The miserable situation was no different from other places, except that relatives had already come to identify and collect the corpses.

Not far from Zhuangzi, there were dozens or hundreds of people gathered. The crowd was excitedly surrounding something, shouting, and the people in the front row were slashing with knives.

Dian Wei came forward with two shield-halberd men to disperse the crowd. The body of a Xirong man was tied to a wooden stake, and his body was covered with wounds made by the common people with knives.

There was an arrow stuck in the corpse's head. "Snow-kun!"

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted Fang Xuejun. The woman followed the sound on horseback and saw a figure sitting on the roadside. The originally luxurious brocade robe had several holes in it, and her bun was messy, which made her look quite ugly. Embarrassed.

"Second brother!"

Fang Xuejun got off his horse and ran towards the other party quickly. Although the eldest brother was a little arrogant in the Fang family, he was a relative after all. When they met after experiencing this disaster, they couldn't help crying.

"I burned Zhuangzi... I was afraid that the Xirong barbarians would steal the food, so we asked us to take away all the food in Zhuangzi. If we couldn't carry it away, we would burn it all. It would not be easy for them... I... my legs are like those of Xirong people. Wounded by an arrow.”

Faang Ling had never suffered such a crime since he was a child, but he still tried hard not to shed tears now.Su Chen heard these words clearly. He turned around and winked at Dian Wei. The giant man waved his hand. A shield warrior put down his weapon and shield, stepped forward to check Fang Ling's thigh, and broke the arrows back and forth with experience. Break it off, then take out the broken rod from the flesh and blood, and finally sprinkle on hemostatic medicine, tear off Fang Ling's cuffs and tighten them tightly.

This movement caused so much pain that all the blood drained from Fan Ling's face, and his body was shaking like chaff.

At this time, the sound of iron hoofs plowing the ground resounded in the distance, rumbling towards this side. The faces of the surrounding people who felt the shaking of the ground changed greatly, thinking that the Xirong people were coming back again, and hurriedly ran to Su Chen's group of 500 people. shield warrior profile.

"Royal!"

The soldiers reacted quickly and stepped forward to stand in front of Su Chen and Marquis Yun. They set up a shield wall and poked out their halberds.

From a distance, approximately 700 cavalrymen rushed towards them. They slowed down at fifty feet. Su Chen narrowed his eyes and raised his hands when he saw the two leading cavalrymen. Only then did the shield and halberd warriors around them put away their large shields and halberds. Retreat to both sides in an orderly manner.

The first two people were Lu Bu and Ma Chao.

The former urged his horse forward and raised his hands: "Bu came here to deliver the order and invaded the barbarian territory. All of them are dead. Among them, more than a thousand horsemen fell into Guo's plan of offering wine and were poisoned to death."

Ma Chao, who was behind Lu Bu, did not speak, but carefully looked at the young general.

Here, Su Chen hurried forward, a horse's head away from the opponent, and raised his hands: "The two generals have worked hard, and all the soldiers have worked hard. Only you can kill all these barbarians! Dai Yunzhen and Ding'an have worked hard." The county would like to thank you all!"

After saying that, he got off his horse and bowed to Lu Bu, Ma Chao, and the hundreds of cavalrymen behind them.

Lu Bu pursed his lips and suddenly made a motion to dismount. More than 700 cavalrymen also dismounted one after another. Ma Chao watched this scene and also dismounted, and then bowed to Su Chen together.

"I won't be pretentious anymore, everyone!"

Su Chen straightened up with his hands down, got on his horse again, and said in a loud voice: "Cut off the heads of all the Xirong people and collect them. The rest will follow me to Yunqiu!"

"Here!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and in a moment, Lu Bu issued an order, and the seven hundred cavalry scattered in all directions, either to collect the bodies lost in the countryside, or to take the order to other Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

As soon as Su Chen turned his horse's head, he made an invitation to Marquis Yunqi, and then led the generals to Yunqi County. Fang Xuejun also carried Fang Ling on horseback, and she rode another horse to take care of her. .

After returning to the city, she said goodbye to Su Chen and took her second brother back to heal.

"Go and report to your family that they are safe on the way."

Su Chen was somewhat fond of the fact that the Fang family was able to do something that was not cheap for barbarians, and his tone was much gentler.

Wait for Fang Xuejun to take Faang Ling and leave from another street.The moment Su Chen averted his eyes, he changed from gentle to indifferent. He and Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Le Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Li Jue entered the Yungui Mansion. Wu Huizhi was the master of the city and was now overwhelmed by the momentum of these tiger and wolf generals. , I felt like I was standing at the door.

His sons Wu Zixun and Tang Huaiyuan, a businessman, came in a hurry and were stopped by him. Then, the father and son plus Tang Huaiyuan stood at the door and stared blankly inside.

Then, they heard a "boom" and the sound of several generals sitting down on the left and right in the court hall.

"Originally, I had a good impression of the Qi family of Yantang Pass. They have guarded the pass for generations... But now, my idea is wrong."

Su Chen stood behind the desk and glanced at each one, "Originally, I planned to rest for a while after forming an alliance, and wait until there was enough food to support the army's departure before heading north to Yanzhou, but now it seems that it is not necessary. Got it!"

Li Jue, who has always been prone to fighting, smiled evilly and couldn't help but rub his palms. He felt that Su Chen like this was what he liked.

"Since we are going to fight, we have to hurry. Before I come back, I have sent the two generals Guan and Zhang to lead [-] Xiliang troops to take a shortcut and leave the mountain first. I have given them the rations of both armies."

Su Chen pressed the table, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lu Bu and Ma Chao: "The Bingzhou cavalry only brought five days' rations. There was not much. If the food was not enough, they would rob it. After Yunqi County, there are still official warehouses in other states. .Two generals, can you do it?"

In the seats on the right, Lu Bu and Ma Chao stood up, cupped their fists and said, "Here!"

"Okay, I want my whole family to kneel down in front of the three armies. I will rest for a while and then set off immediately! Le Jin and Zhang Liao will adjust the defense, Xu Qinghu and Zhang You will assist in the defense, and take care of the three counties of Ji and Qingshan. Li Dian will still guard Changchuan."

"at last……"

Su Chen hit the table with his fist and said in a low voice: "Finally... give the Xirong tribe a beating and tell them that I want to attack Yanzhou. It's best to be honest and not cause trouble."

The military agreement was decided.

There was another battle, and all the generals in the hall had ferocious smiles on their faces.

The three people standing outside the hall gaped at this group of proud soldiers. Tang Huaiyuan looked at Su Chen over there with almost disbelief. The third son of the Hou family in his past memories was completely replaced by the current image of the general. .

"Su Congfang...you really gave birth to a good son."

　People were still outside when they saw the silver reward, and they were really excited.

　　Tomorrow... more updates!
