Chapter 984: Borrowing Soldiers
As he was talking, he saw a large number of troops slowly approaching in the distance, and a member of the Qiang general galloped first, with thousands of cavalry behind him in a long line.
After Xu Shu saw it, he said to Xiahou Yuan: "It is the brave general under the account of the king of Xiqiang, called a fan, this person is used to using bows, crossbows, guns, tribulus terrestris, flying hammers and other weapons, I heard that there are thousands of people who are not brave." β
Xiahou Yuan looked at it from afar, but saw that Mi Dang was holding a hammer in his hand, hanging a treasure carved bow at his waist, burly and strong, looking mighty, and the cavalry behind Mi Dang was also all strong and was rushing towards here.
"In the past, we helped Zhong Cunqiang unify all the Qiang tribes, and Zhong Cunqiang King Cheriji became the first king of Xiqiang in history. Cheriji should be grateful, this time he personally led an army of 200,000 to help the war, Xiqiang's strength is amazing, why worry that Liangzhou can't be pacified? Xiahou Yuan said happily.
As he spoke, Mi Dang had already arrived at the gate of the city, and the cavalry behind him was lined up, each wrapped in a coat made of sheepskin, Rao would not feel cold in this weather.
"Playing music!" Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly.
The drummer procession, which had been waiting on the castle tower for a long time, began to play one after another, playing a beautiful music.
Mi Dang turned over and dismounted, and when he heard this harsh sound, he said, "Stop, what kind of bird sound is this?" So ugly? β
After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan frowned, and immediately ordered to stop playing, and asked, "It's hard to hear?" β
Mi Dang nodded, looked at Xiahou Yuan, and said with a fist: "Presumably, Your Excellency is Xiahou Yuan, the Zhenxi general of the Wei State?" β
Xiahou Yuan heard the fan call him by his name, and his heart was not angry, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Mi Dang Marshal, this is General Xiahou who terrified the enemy, and once led a partial army. Conquest of the countries of the Western Regions ......"
"Oh, I know, it's the long-legged general of Wei who is known as the fastest runner!"
"It's the Divine General!" Xiahou Yuan's face was gloomy. Waiting to be fascinated, he said angrily.
Misty holding his arms. Standing there, there was contempt in his eyes, he sneered, and said, "No matter what kind of general you are, haven't you been defeated by the Huaxia Army in the same way?" I guess you are alive today because you ran fast, right? β
"You ......"
Seeing that Xiahou Yuan was about to get angry, Xu Shu hurriedly grabbed Xiahou Yuan and said, "Everyone is their own people. You don't have to make a big deal for a little thing, and you don't know when the army led by King Qiang will arrive? β
"Oh, you also know that all of our Qiang people are soldiers, but because the weather is freezing now, it is not appropriate to send troops, and the snow on the ground is quite deep, so we must wait until the snow melts, this good day and auspicious day, and then set out on the expedition."
"What? Cherrigian dares to repent? Xiahou Yuan said angrily.
Mi Dang glanced at Xiahou Yuan. sneered: "Repentance? If I did, I wouldn't have come. Since I have sent someone to inform you, it means that our king will definitely go on an expedition. It's just that the snow is so deep now. It was not advisable for the iron chariot soldiers to walk, so they had to wait until the winter snow melted before setting out on the expedition. I think it's going to be March. β
"March? You're fucking fooling me, aren't you? Xiahou Yuan became even more angry, and he immediately pulled out the sword at his waist with a hot temper.
Mi Dang had already taken precautions, jumped back, and a group of Qiang people immediately surrounded him tightly, and the Qiang soldiers immediately drew their weapons, and the guards on Xiahou Yuan's side also showed their blades. The two groups of people were fighting each other.
Xu Shu saw this. Hurriedly said: "Put it down!" Put it all down! It's all your own people, why bother hurting the harmony with knives and guns? β
Cheng Yu stood beside Xiahou Yuan. also hurriedly whispered to comfort: "General, if you can endure it, you can endure it, and endure the unhappiness for a while, in exchange for the whole Liangzhou, besides, we still need the strength of the Qiang people, and we can't fall out with them." β
Xiahou Yuan returned the sword to the sheath and asked angrily: "Since King Qiang has made a decision, we have nothing to say, let's wait for the time being until the winter snow melts and the spring flowers bloom, and then work together to repel the Huaxia army." β
So, both groups put away their blades. Mi Dang smiled: "Then since this is the case, then it will bother General Xiahou." β
"Disturbing? You're going to stay here? Xiahou Yuan asked in surprise.
"Of course, I was sent by the Great King, and I am considered to be the front. I may not have made it clear just now, within a month, there will be 150,000 troops arriving here one after another, but our king just let us station here, defend the Wei army, and are not allowed to go out, the day of the real expedition, we have to wait until the winter snow melts, as long as our king arrives with the iron chariot soldiers, he will immediately attack the Huaxia army and recover the lost territory for your Great Wei. β
Xiahou Yuan didn't care about the answer to the delusion, what is the substitution, it seems that they have reached the end of the road and are unable to recover the lost land. Although I was unhappy in my heart, I endured it. He didn't want to see Mi Dang's face again, so he turned around and entered the city, instructing: "The west of the city is left to the friends of the Qiang tribe to live, and all the others retreat to the east of the city." β
As soon as the words fell, Xiahou Yuan entered the city with the guards, and Xu Shu and Cheng Yu were responsible for arranging Mi Dang and others to enter the city.
As soon as the matter was settled here, after Midang and the others settled down, Midang sent people out of the city and went back to report to Cherrigi. He himself led a team to gallop back and forth in the city, but his eyes were always on the Wei army's combat readiness, military strength, garrison situation, grain and grass, etc., estimating how much combat strength the Wei army still had.
Xu Shu found that Mi Dang was wandering around the city all day long, so he kept an extra eye, and when it was the evening, he went to discuss with Cheng Yu.
The two of them got together, and Xu Shu informed Cheng Yu of what he had seen during the day. After hearing this, Cheng Yu was shocked and asked, "Yuan Zhi...... Is this a peek at the combat power of our army? β
Xu Shu said: "I also have this guess. A few days ago, King Qiang sent someone to say that he would personally lead an army of 200,000 to come within ten days, but now he only let Mi Dang come with 3,000 cavalry, and Mi Dang peeped at our army in the city, which had to make people suspicious. β
"Your Majesty led the army far away in Bashu, Chang'an was also captured, Qinzhou, Liangzhou only here is a little bit of our Wei army's shadow, if the Qiang people take advantage of this time to tear our faces, I am afraid that we will die without a place to be buried." Cheng Yu is also a far-sighted person, when Cao Cao seized power before, he was sent to Liangzhou to sit in the town first, and lured the surrounding Han and Qiang people to work for Cao Cao, which can also be said to be a hard work.
Xu Shu listened. frowned, held his chin and said, "I'm afraid, it's much more than that......"
"Yuan Zhi. What do you mean by that? Cheng Yu hurriedly asked.
"I'm afraid that the army of King Qiang has already arrived, but they don't come together. First, send the fans to test our reality and reality. In my guess, King Qiang didn't just want to tear his face with us, but wanted to use his own strength to expel the Huaxia army and then seize the entire Liangzhou. Of course, we are the first army to bear the brunt, and today we are looking at the reality of our army in the city, and I am afraid that we are estimating how much combat strength our army still has. Whether he still has the ability to fight side by side with the king of Qiang. β
"Are you saying that the Qiang people want to join forces with us to fight the enemy first, and then unload the mill and kill the donkey after the Huaxia army is expelled?"
"Well, that's how it should be."
"No, you have to inform General Xiahou quickly and kill the Midang guy." Cheng Yu said.
"No, with General Xiahou's temper, if he really kills the fan, then our army will really be in trouble." Xu Shu said.
"Then what do you mean ......"
"What will be counted. With the current combat effectiveness of our army, it is definitely a good helper of the Qiang people, and now the Qiang King does not dare to touch us. Even if the Qiang people came to gnaw on the army of 2,900 people, he would not be able to gnaw it without more than a month. Don't tell General Xiahou about this matter first, let it go. If nothing else, the Qiang army will all arrive tomorrow, and then the war against the Huaxia army will be started, as long as our army uses less strength and let the Qiang army rush to kill. β
"Alright then, then do it."
"Yes. Only you and I know about this, and God knows it. When the time is right, I will show it to General Xiahou. β
"Yuan Zhi. You can rest assured. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In a valley fifty miles away from the county town of Longxi, Qiang King Cheriji received the news sent by Midang, so he gathered all the leaders of his subordinates and said: "Midang has found out the truth and truth, the Wei army still has strength, and it should not be underestimated. The order went down, and early tomorrow morning, the whole army set off and went straight to Longxi County. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the other hand, Zhang Xiuzheng led 10,000 soldiers and horses on a difficult march from Wudu to Longxi, and when he reached a valley, he ordered his subordinates to set up camp.
After nightfall, a small school entered and told Zhang Xiu that an old friend had come to ask for a meeting. Zhang Xiuhu was suspicious for a moment, so he asked people to bring him in. But when he saw that the person was wearing a black cloak, the cloak covered his face, and he could not see the face of the person who came in the night.
Zhang Xiu stared at it for a while and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" β
The person who came lifted the cloak, revealing a handsome face, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like meteors, and a beautiful man, but his face was blue, his eyes were deep, and he looked full of vicissitudes.
As soon as Zhang Xiu saw this person, he was immediately taken aback, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and bowed: "His Royal Highness the Prince......
The person who came was Ma Chao, he saw Zhang Xiu kneeling on the ground, and called him "His Royal Highness the Prince", so he sneered and said lightly to Zhang Xiu: "You get up, I am no longer the prince of the Qin State in the past, and now my identity is the general of the right chariot of the Huaxia Kingdom, the Yihou." β
Zhang Xiu stood up and asked Ma Chao to sit down, after all, he was Ma Chao's old department, and he was not hostile to Ma Chao, and he was forced to surrender to Cao Cao back then. Moreover, in the past few years since the surrender of Wei, Zhang Xiu has not been very satisfied with his life. Cao Cao rewarded him with high-ranking officials and titles, but Zhang Xiu politely declined, and he also felt guilty on his psychological side, so he guarded Wudu County.
Later, when he heard that Ma Chao was in Lingzhou, Cao Cao may have sent someone to Wudu to monitor Zhang Xiu out of safety, fearing that he would contact Ma Chao and then rebel. Zhang Xiujie is self-conscious, except for some correspondence with Suo Xu, he has never had any contact with other people, so in the past five years, he has also walked on thin ice.
When I suddenly saw the old master today, I felt a sour feeling in my heart, and I felt even more shameless to face Ma Chao.
"You must have heard about Chang'an City, right?" Ma Chao took the hot tea handed by Zhang Xiu, held it in his hand and warmed his cold hands, and asked lightly.
Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Well, I heard." The rapid attack of the Huaxia army is staggering, it only took one day to take Chang'an City, and it only took half a month to take the entire Qinzhou, this speed is really amazing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"
"Please call me General Ma!" Ma Chao took a sip of hot tea, put the teacup aside, sat by the campfire and stretched out his hand to roast his hand.
"Horse ...... General Ma...... It's awkward to call it like that......"
"If you call too much, you get used to it. General Zhang, then you must have heard that I killed Chen Qun, Yang Xiu, Cao Zhen, Liu Ye, and Man Chong, right? β
Zhang Xiu's mentality is very peaceful. Sitting by the campfire, he nodded, looking at Ma Chao's grim face. He smiled slightly and said, "I heard." General Ma is here to take my head, right? I had expected such a day. In the past few years, I have been blaming myself, if I would rather die than surrender, and defend the city, I would have ended up with a loyal and righteous person, but now I ...... General Ma, my head is here, you can take it. to pay tribute to the dead of the first emperor. β
Ma Chao raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhang Xiu, and asked, "Are you really willing to offer the head?" β
"As long as General Ma is willing, he can take it whenever he wants......"
"Huh!"
Ma Chao directly pulled out the steel sword he was wearing at his waist, put the cold blade on Zhang Xiu's neck, and asked, "If you are given another chance, are you still willing to follow me?" β
"If there is really such an opportunity, Zhang Xiu can't ask for it." As he spoke, Zhang Xiu closed his eyes and killed his neck.
"Huh!"
Ma Chao swung his sword and cut off the helmet cherry on Zhang Xiu's head. After putting the sword in the scabbard, he said to Zhang Xiu: "I have finished paying tribute to my father's soul, what is the use of asking for your head?" Not as good as the right and deposited on your item. Keep it for the future. β
Zhang Xiu opened his eyes and saw that Ma Chao had returned to his original position, and asked suspiciously, "General, you won't kill me?" β
"Since you are not afraid of death, what is the use of me killing you? If you really feel guilty about me in your heart, lead your subordinates to surrender to our Huaxia army. In the past few years in Huaxia Kingdom, I have seen what is really powerful, and I think it is a little ridiculous to recall that I used to be enemies of Huaxia Kingdom. It's just that he was too young and vigorous at the time. I think that the world is inferior to me, and I think that no one in the world is as good as me. But to this day. I realized that what I did back then was really naΓ―ve. β
Zhang Xiu saw Ma Chao's expression when he spoke. Seeing that the expression on Ma Chao's face fluctuated more violently. can probably realize that the current Ma Chao is no longer the prince of Qin back then, and the arrogant and manic heart no longer exists, but has matured a lot.
Ma Chao paused and continued: "If I hadn't been an enemy of Huaxia at that time, but had invited the emperor with my father to jointly assist the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, with the strength of the two families alone, perhaps the princes of various places would have been pacified, and the Han might have become prosperous with the joint efforts of the two, and my Ma family would inevitably prosper." It's a pity that I was too ignorant at the time, and I only knew how to shout and kill, so that even if I became the prince, it made the people's hearts unstable. I regret even more that in the first place, why did I listen to Cao Cao's lies and take him to Guanzhong, but it turned out to be a tiger for trouble...... Ay! β
Hearing Ma Chao's exclamation, Zhang Xiu was also melancholy. He immediately knelt in front of Ma Chao and bowed to Ma Chao: "General, Zhang Xiu is willing to return to the command of the general, let the general drive, and from then on be willing to be a pawn of the horse, go up the knife mountain, go down the sea of fire, and Zhang Xiu will not give up." β
Ma Chao hurriedly helped Zhang Xiu up, looked at Zhang Xiu affectionately, and said: "Great, now is the time when we are making meritorious contributions, Cao Cao's old thief and I have a grudge against my father, this revenge is not avenged, I swear not to be a person, and now I have a general, it is really my Ma Chao is very lucky." From now on, I am willing to make an appointment with the general as a brother, the general as a brother, and I as a brother, and jointly seek to pacify the remnants of the Wei army in Liangzhou. Once the northwest is pacified, he can attack Yizhou and completely kill Cao Cao's old thief. β
Zhang Xiu saw that Ma Chao was going to pull him into a brother of the opposite sex, and hurriedly said: "No, how dare I call the general a brother and a brother?" β
"Do you look down on me?" Ma Chao asked.
"No, no, no...... It's just that I come from a humble ......"
"Heroes don't ask where they come from, today there are only brothers, and there is no distinction between high and low. I am still young, you are a brother, I am a brother, from now on, our brothers share the glory and wealth, and make contributions together! β
As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao pulled Zhang Xiu to bow, knelt on the ground, and shouted with his fists: "The emperor is above, the thick earth is below, today there is a right wind Ma Chao and Wuwei Zhang Xiu are about brothers with different surnames, from now on, I will treat each other with all sincerity, share blessings, and I will be a ...... when there is difficulty."
"General, if you are wrong, you will share the blessings and the difficulties." Zhang Xiu hurriedly corrected.
"Nope! I'm not wrong, we can enjoy the blessings together, and I will bear the ...... by myself when there are difficulties."
"No, no, no! There are blessings to share, and there are difficulties to share, otherwise, what righteousness will there be? Zhang Xiu's face was stunned. Deeply moved by Ma Chao, he immediately bowed to heaven and earth, and shouted loudly: "The emperor is above." The thick soil is below, and now there is Wuwei Zhang Xiu......"
"The right wind horse is super ......"
"About brothers with different surnames. From now on, the liver and gall want to shine, share the blessings and misfortunes, if you violate this oath, you are willing to bear the pain of five thunders and thunders in the sky. Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu shouted together.
After shouting, the two men made a blood alliance on the spot, dripping blood into the wine, and then exchanging it with each other. Drink at the same time.
After drinking, Ma Chao bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Little brother meets eldest brother......
Zhang Xiu hurriedly helped Ma Chao up and said: "Brother doesn't have to be polite, just mentally treat me as the eldest brother, and you don't have to shout it out in front of people, after all, you were once my master......"
"As long as we have brothers in our hearts, that's enough. If you have anything to say, say it to your face, don't have overnight enmity, and truly share the blessings. There are difficulties together. Ma Chao said.
Zhang Xiu nodded, and immediately said, "General, are you the only one?" β
"Hmm. I heard that you are going to Longxi, so I am waiting for you here, and I also happened to go to Longxi. Now that you have decided to submit to my Huaxia Kingdom, such a submission seems to be too prosaic, and it would be great if you could cut off Xiahou Yuan's head. β
Zhang Xiu said: "I understand what you mean, don't worry." My trip to Longxi this time was the order of Xiahou Yuan, and this matter was on me. In the past few years, I have gathered many generals who are loyal to me in Wudu County. The general waits here. I called them in and introduced them to the general one by one. β
said. Zhang Xiu walked out of the big tent and shouted to a personal soldier outside the door: "Let the generals come to the big tent to discuss matters." β
After a short time, Ma Chao saw several people coming from outside, a scribe and four generals. As soon as the five people entered the big tent, they bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Meet the general." β
Zhang Xiu said: "I will introduce you to a person, this is General Shenweitian......"
"Shenwei Tian General ......" After hearing this, the five people who came to the big tent all looked at Ma Chao with envious eyes, and then, the five people bowed in unison: "I'll wait to see General Tian." β
"Who are these?" Ma Chao asked.
Zhang Xiu introduced them one by one, starting with the scribes, and said in turn: "This is Zhang Ji, the word Derong, a native of Gaoling, Qinzhou." These are my fierce generals, in order, they are Koji Yan, Jiang Shi, He Luan, and Biqiu Xing. In the past five years, I have been secretly recruiting talents in Wudu, and I have paid attention to the selection of talents, and these people have been promoted by me. This trip to Longxi came in handy. β
After speaking, Zhang Xiu turned to Zhang Ji, Lu Yan, Jiang Shi, He Luan, and Biqiu Xing and said: "Listen to me, from today onwards, I will officially return to the Huaxia Kingdom, are you all willing to accompany you?" β
"I'm willing to listen to the general's dispatch!" Zhang Ji, Lu Yan, Jiang Shi, He Luan, and Biqiu Xing replied in unison.
Ma Chao saw that Zhang Xiu had already prepared for the scale, and he was also extremely emotional. As the saying goes, a slap can't be slapped, although Wang Shuang has always been by his side, but he has never had real power and can't control too many soldiers and horses, so he can only be regarded as a second-rate military general in Huaxia Country, and he has not yet become a first-class soldier and has few opportunities for meritorious service.
This time, he successfully persuaded Zhang Xiu to come and surrender, just to use Zhang Xiu to make a fuss, once he killed Xiahou Yuan, he would be a great achievement, and then he would have room to speak in Huaxia, so he could lead the army to attack Shu and destroy Cao Cao's old thief.
At the moment, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu and others planned, Zhang Xiu's subordinate scholar Zhang is also a talent, so he offered advice to Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu, so after everyone formulated a strategy, Ma Chao rested in Zhang Xiu for a night, and began to go to Hanyang County early the next morning, and Zhang Xiu also continued to carry the banner of the Wei army and marched to Longxi.
In the cold morning, Xiahou Yuan was still sleeping on the bed, warm and warm in the bed, when he suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door outside, he opened his hazy eyes and asked, "Who?" Deadly knock? Knock what knock? β
"General, it's the king of Qiang...... The king of Qiang came with a large army, and there were countless people all over the mountains......"
As soon as Xiahou Yuan heard this, he turned over from the bed, got dressed as fast as he could, immediately opened the door, and asked, "What did you just say?" β
"The king of Qiang came with a large army, and there were hundreds of thousands of people all over the mountains, probably hundreds of thousands of people......."
"Damn, didn't you say yesterday that you would wait until the beginning of spring to fight again, why has the army arrived day and night, and his grandmother is playing with Lao Tzu?" Xiahou Yuan said angrily.
Angry, but for the arrival of King Qiang with a large army, Xiahou Yuan still felt very happy. This means that the day when he recovers Liangzhou is not far away, not only Liangzhou. And Qinzhou, how did you lose it. How is he going to get it back?
Xiahou Yuan came to the gate of the city, as soon as he opened the city gate, he saw that on the white snowfield, the mountains were full of Qiang people, and Mi Dang was leading a richly dressed and burly strong man into the city, surrounded by more than ten leaders of the Qiang tribe, and everyone's face looked gloomy. There is always a look in the eyes that is difficult to explain.
"It's not good...... Xiahou Yuan glanced at the person who was surrounded by everyone, he hadn't seen Qiang King Cheriji, but looking at this person's style, he could be sure that this person was Cheriji.
Cherrigi was dressed in a fox fur, with a horizontal face, and more than a dozen small pigtails were tied on his head, and the small braids were all shaved and shiny, looking like wheat planted in the field, lock by lock.
The fan led the way in front of Cherrigi, and the tall man was in front of Cherrigi. You have to keep your voice down, and Cherrigi is surrounded by five strong men, all of whom are nine feet long. The waist is ten girth, and it looks extremely majestic.
When Xiahou Yuan was looking at Cheriji and the others, Mi Dang had already introduced Cheriji and the others into the city, and when he saw Xiahou Yuan standing there, Mi Dang said to Cheriji: "Great King, in front of you is Xiahou Yuan, the general of Zhenxi of Great Wei. β
"Oh......" Cherrigie's sharp eyes glanced at Xiahou Yuan, and saw that Xiahou Yuan was wearing a strong suit, his physique was very strong, and he was also very tall. It looks a little mighty, "It's worthy of being a Shenxing general." It's full of some mighty assets. β
When the two met, Midang became an introducer on his own. said to Xiahou Yuan: "General Long-legged, this is our king, today the king came with 200,000 troops, just to help you capture Liangzhou." β
Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth with hatred for Mi Dang, and glanced at Mi Dang fiercely with his eyes, but Mi Dang continued to smirk there as if he was nothing, and said to Cherrigi: "King, this is the famous long-legged general, he runs the fastest, what is it called?" Oh, it seems to say that five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days, and when there is a war, the retreat runs the fastest......"
"I'll kill you!" There is a saying that a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated, Xiahou Yuan listened to the ridicule of the delusion, and immediately pulled out his sword and showed it in front of everyone.
"Huh!"
At this moment, several people around Cherrigi all pulled out the scimitars they were wearing and lit up in front of Xiahou Yuan.
"Protect the General!" A lieutenant behind Xiahou Yuan immediately shouted, and the Wei army immediately gathered from all directions in the city, the archers pulled their bows and arrows, and the shield soldiers pulled Xiahou Yuan to block the shield in front, and the cavalry also came out, and all the Wei troops were in a state of emergency preparation.
The Qiang people did not show weakness, and immediately blew the horn, and there was a restlessness outside, thousands of horses galloped, and the ground trembled, and the 200,000 troops surrounded the city of Longxi County Di Dao.
The two sides were tense, and Cherrigi was not at all moved in the face of such a change.
At this moment, the shouts of the Qiang people were overwhelming, and all the Qiang people shouted loudly almost at the same time: "The king will not be killed...... The king will not be killed...... The king will not kill ......"
The shouts were like bursts of thunder in the sky, resounding throughout the sky, and the Wei army of less than 30,000 in Didao City couldn't help but be frightened after hearing this majestic shout. Every soldier of the Wei army muttered, and secretly thought, "If they really fight with the Qiang people, they will definitely be wiped out!" β
Xiahou Yuan's face twitched, his facial muscles had begun to stiffen, and the whole person was still holding the sword, standing there in a daze, looking at Cherrigie's deep eyes with a strange light, the iron green face was not shocked, Rao is more than a thousand archers in the city were aiming at him, Cherrigi was not moved, this courage, this courage is enough to explain everything, this thing is definitely not an idle person.
Cherrigi's eyes were sharp, still staring at Xiahou Yuan tightly, and suddenly a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to his subordinates: "Put away all the blades, General Xiahou is joking with us, are you still serious?" β
Mi Dang turned and whistled backwards, and after the whistle sounded, the whimpering horn outside sounded again, melodious and far-reaching, spreading in all directions. In just an instant, the 200,000 Qiang people retreated together.
At the same time, the people around Cherrigi in the city also put away their blades.
Xiahou Yuan felt that there were insects crawling on his back, extending from his backbone all the way down, and he actually broke out in a cold sweat. This Cherrigi is indeed not simple.
He hurriedly plunged his sword into its scabbard. Ordered: "The whole army is on alert, a misunderstanding!" β
At this time, the soldiers of the Wei army all put away their swords. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, if there was really a war. I'm afraid that they will become the target of the 200,000 Qiang people.
Xu Shu and Cheng Yu hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and both of them heard the loud shout just now, which was breathtaking. At this time, when he saw Cheriji and Xiahou Yuan facing each other, there was no smile on his face, and when the four eyes met, there was even a spark of hostility.
"Ouch...... Isn't this King Cherrigi? What kind of wind blew you here......" Xu Shu lobbied the Qiang tribes to support Cao Cao with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and even became the guest of honor of Cheriji. And Cherrigi is very familiar. He knew the habits of the Qiang people, and when he walked towards Cherrigi with a smile, he said with a smile as he walked.
After Cherrigi saw Xu Shu, his tense expressionless face suddenly raised a smile, and he took a step forward and said, "It turns out that Lord Xu is also here, we haven't seen each other for a few days, right?" β
"Isn't that right, since I said goodbye to the king last time, I'll do the math......" Xu Shu pretended to gesture and pinched his fingers. We haven't seen each other in almost two years, have we? β
"Lord Xu, your memory is really bad, it's obviously three years!"
"Is it three years?"
"It's three years. This king remembers the real ......"
"Oh, it's really three years,......" Xu Shu counted again, and said with a smile, "Didn't the king say that he would come back after the beginning of spring, why did he come so soon?" β
"I learned that Lord Xu is here, so I came to support non-stop, Lord Xu, I'm a friend, I'm qualified, right?"
"The king is not qualified. So who else is qualified? β
"Hahaha......" As soon as Cherrigi and Xu Shu met, they talked about it. To outsiders, the two seem to be close, like brothers who have been absent for a long time. is even closer than brothers, and the free talk at this moment has broken the tense atmosphere just now.
Seeing such a scene, Xiahou Yuan moved his body back slightly, and said to Cheng Yu: "Yuan Zhi and Cheriji seem to be very familiar?" β
"I guess so, it looks familiar. It seems that the one who persuaded Zhong Cunqiang to be loyal to His Majesty back then seemed to be Xu Yuanzhi, and the two of them were old acquaintance......s," Cheng Yu whispered in Xiahou Yuan's ear.
"No wonder ......"
Xu Shu grabbed Cheriji's hand, pulled it in front of Xiahou Yuan, and said, "King, let me introduce you, this is ......"
"Xiahou Yuan, the general of Zhenxi, is known as General Shenxing, the first general of Wei, how can this king not know?" The corners of Cherrigi's eyes showed a bit of appreciation, and he said to Xu Shu.
"Hehe, it turns out that the king knows, so it's better to do it. Don't stand here, my lord, and invite all the leaders to come in and sit down. Xu Shu said.
Cherrigi nodded, turned around, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and said coldly: "Hungry He, Burning Ge, Cutting Tong, Moth Blockage, and Zhi Wudai, the five of you will each go to control your own subordinates, and let your subordinates mess around, cut down some trees outside on the spot, and set up camp." β
After hearing this, the five people who had been surrounding Cheriji, Hunger He, Burning Ge, Fatong, Moth Cover, and Zhi Wudai only nodded, and then turned to leave, and when they left, they looked at Xiahou Yuan and the others with a little cold killing intent.
At this time, Mi Dang walked forward to Cherrigi and said, "King." β
"Well, Mi Dang, you can enter the city with me, Lord Xu wants to set up a banquet to entertain us, and we can't save Lord Xu's face, right?" Cherrigie's gloomy eyes glanced at Mi Dang, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"Understood." Mystery way.
Xu Shu has always understood that Cherrigi is different from the Qiang King of any tribe in the Western Qiang in the past, and this person knows how to hide his strength. Under his leadership, Zhong Cunqiang has never had a war for more than ten years, and has never participated in any Qiang struggle, which can be regarded as a pure land among the Qiang people.
However, when Xu Shu went to Zhong Cunqiang in person, he found out that Zhong Cunqiang actually had the strength to conquer various Qiang tribes by force, but I don't know why, Qiang King Cheriji has no intention of starting a war. It wasn't until after he went, using his incorruptible tongue to persuade Cherrigi to support Cao Cao, in exchange for helping Cherrigi claim the title of King Xiqiang, that Cherrigi's help was obtained.
However, now it seems that Xu Shu's approach at that time was wrong, he boosted Cherrigie's arrogance, and Cherrigi has always been ambitious, and the reason why he has never started a war is actually waiting for an opportunity. Now the opportunity has come, and Cherrigie, a lone wolf like no other, may be able to do something incredible.
Xu Shu looked at the figure of Cherrigi, and secretly thought in his heart: "The one who should come will always come, a sleeping wild wolf, finally can't stand the hunger, and is ready to eat people." However, Wei Jun will definitely not become something in the mouth of this wild wolf, on the contrary, Wei Jun should become the master of this wolf. Are the sons and daughters of Huaxia ready to fill this greedy wolf? β
Cherry Ji was welcomed into the hall of the Taishou Mansion, and chatted with Xiahou Yuan, Xu Shu and others, and after greeting for a while, he began to eat meat and drink. After being full of wine and food, Xu Shu arranged for Xia Cheriji to live in the Taishou Mansion before leaving.
After Xu Shu left, Cherrigi sat on the edge of the bed with a thoughtful look.
Seeing this, Mi Dang said: "King, today at the gate of the city, with the strength of our army, it is easy to slaughter the Wei army in the city, why doesn't the king kill him?" β
Cheriji raised his eyelids and glanced at Mi Dang, and said with a smile: "The strength of the Wei army is still there, it is too early to turn against them at this time, even if this city is captured, our army will lose a lot, for us, the city is fundamentally something outside the body, and it is the key to be able to firmly hold the entire Liangzhou in our own hands." β
"What the king means ......"
"First drink the Wei army to join forces to resist the enemy, use the strength of the Huaxia army to weaken the strength of the Wei army, it is best that the Huaxia army can defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman, and then use our own strength to defeat the Huaxia army and drive the Huaxia army out of Liangzhou." When Cherrigi said this, he was impassioned, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
With falcon-like eyes and wolf-like greed, after so many years of enduring it, it's time to break out.
"The king is wise!" Fans praised.
"You go and inform the other marshals and tell them not to have any more friction with the Wei army, this morning's incident must have had an impact on the Wei army's heart, and urge the iron chariot soldiers to speed up the march, and if they don't come in three days, they will all be beheaded!" Cherrigi Road.
"Yes, my lord." Midang's martial arts are outstanding, but when he met Cherrigie, he still felt that there were some shortcomings. Back then, he competed with Cheriji for the position of Zhongcun Qiang and Qiang, and now he has completely surrendered to Cherrigi, although this person does not have pure Qiang blood, but he is an out-and-out hero. At least, that's what the fans think.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zhang Xiu was on the march when he saw a scout coming from ahead, so he asked, "What is the situation ahead?" β
"There are 200,000 Qiang people, and Chen Bing set up five large camps outside Didao City, and in each large camp, they set up 20 small camps, each with 2,000 people, and surrounded Didao City, which completely played the role of defending Didao City." The scout said.
Zhang Xiu frowned, gathered Zhang Ji, Liyan, Jiang Shi, He Luan, and Biqiu Xing all around him, and said: "The situation has changed, the Qiang army of 200,000 is entrenched in Di Dao, Gong Wei Longxi, I am afraid that the original plan will also be changed." Jiang Shi, please go to Hanyang County in person to meet General Shenweitian, and say that the plan has changed, and I will hide it in the Wei military camp for the time being, and wait until the critical moment before acting. β
"No!"
"Everyone else will come with me and go to Didao together."
"No!" (To be continued)
