On February 18 of the second year of Dade, Helanzong and Chen Qing of the Qinglong Army led their troops south, but when they passed by the Two Wolves Pass, they saw the scene in the pass and their hearts sank.

At this time, it is already spring, even the north of the country has begun to melt the ice and snow, and the spring flowers should bloom in the pass, but when you enter the two wolf passes, you can see that the people are withering, the flowers of the past are long gone, and there are no merchants and pawns in the north and south on the street, and even the wolf guards are demoralized. In the past, there were at least nearly a thousand wolf guards guarding the city wall, but Helan Zong swept over and found that there were only a few more than a hundred people on the tall and strong two wolf pass city walls, or even less than a hundred.

"What's going on?" Helan Zong pulled Chen Qing and asked, Chen Qing was also at a loss, and hurriedly sent someone to inquire.

Soon after, the news came back that there was a plague outbreak in the Two Wolves Pass last winter, and the plague broke out among the seven thousand soldiers who came to the Two Wolves Pass from the plague village, so that the people of the Two Wolves Pass fled south. By the time the soldiers and civilians in the Two Wolves Pass reacted, many people had already been infected with the plague, so much so that after the Spring Festival, there were deaths in the Two Wolves Pass every day.

Fortunately, Helan Zong ordered the soldiers to bring face towels into the city early on, and bring their own water to avoid the second infection of the plague. Unfortunately, only more than 3,000 of the 7,000 Qinglong Army soldiers who had fled from the plague village to the Two Wolves Pass were still alive, and more than 3,000 of them had died.

They saw Helan Zongzhi with great regret and hatred, and they knelt on the ground and cried, in the Two Wolves Pass, they were just political bargaining chips, but they became outcasts because of the outbreak of the plague.

For a group of abandoned children who opened their mouths to ask for food, stretched out their hands to ask for money, and asked for medicine, the wolf guards of the two wolf gates naturally did not have a good face, and their fate was much more tragic than that of the people in the epidemic village.

At that time, there were only more than 1,300 people left in the village, and after a winter of recuperation, when spring came, only more than 200 people died of illness, and the remaining more than 1,100 people all survived. They originally hated Zhang Xiaowu so much that when they received the order from the imperial court, none of the soldiers in the plague village chose to stay in Mucheng.

But look at the fate of these robes, they are sad, many soldiers are clamoring to find Murong Yan for revenge, Chen Qing and Helan Zong looked at each other, anger came from it, and immediately led the army to surround the two wolf Guan generals' mansions.

Murong Yan was taken aback, but fortunately, there were many generals in his mansion, and the wolf guard military camp was not far away, so he hurriedly sent someone to transfer the wolf guard to protect him.

Chen Qing rode on a horse, pointed to the gate of the General's Mansion with two wolves, and scolded: "Murong old dog! When you coaxed my Qinglong soldiers to enter the customs with you, but they killed more than half of them, what kind of heart did you have? Old dog! Don't hide inside and play dead! Do you think that the thousands of Blue Dragon Army that killed me will be fine? I'm telling you, no way! If you don't come out to make amends today, Lao Tzu will burn the two wolves! Lao Tzu killed you wolf guards! ”

Chen Qing bragged, although the wolf guard was infected with the plague, and many people were being treated in the army, but there were more than 20,000 wolf guards, and the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and the wolf guards were not as good as them. How could their three thousand remnants of soldiers kill the wolf guards, so he just shouted and cursed at the door, but he didn't go too far, the purpose was to let all the people and the wolf guards in the two wolf cities see that this Murong Yan killed thousands of soldiers because of his own selfishness.

Helan Zong sneered and kept silent, paying attention to his surroundings at any time, but when he saw the arrival of the Wolf Guard army, he waved his hand and stepped forward immediately: "General Murong, I know that you have accepted my Qinglong Army soldiers with good intentions, but you have also seen it, and your kindness has helped. Our Qinglong soldiers in Mucheng had less than 200 dead from illness, but as far as I know, more than 3,000 and nearly 4,000 Qinglong soldiers left behind in the Two Wolf Pass died. We are here today to tell you that these people cannot die in vain! ”

Murong Yan saw the wolf guard appear, so he opened the door of the mansion and walked out, he looked left and right at those indignant Qinglong soldiers, and knew ashamed. At the beginning, in order to impeach Zhang Xiaowu as a good person, he personally led people to take the sick man back to the Two Wolves Pass, but he didn't expect the impeachment to be successful, Zhang Xiaowu's Saibei General was dismissed, and he only served as the general of the ghost guard, which is equivalent to an official demotion, but his price was too heavy.

So far, more than 300 people have died of illness.

So far, more than 800 people have died of illness in the people of Two Wolf City.

The people of the two wolf cities fled, more than 5,000 people.

Murong Yan can be regarded as lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, how can he not blame the soldiers for his resentment, but those soldiers were all brought by him, so the wolf guard was also dissatisfied.

As the commander of the wolf guard and the guard of the two wolves, Murong Yan will definitely not admit his mistake in public, and recently Helan Sect and Chen Qing led troops to besiege the two wolf city generals' mansion, which made him lose face, how could he give up. Murong Yan's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "Little Junhou, dare to be so rampant, it is really too deceitful!" The wolf guard listened to the order and took down this traitor! ”

Helan Zong roared: "Who dares!" He quickly untied his bow and arrows and shot at Murong Yan, Murong Yan was startled, sat on the ground coldly, only heard a sound properly, and his helmet was shot by the bow and arrow and fell to the ground. Helan Zong shouted: "Whoever dares to attack my Qinglong soldiers, I will kill him." Murong Yan, you are a border army guard, you dare to order the murder of the Holy Han Forbidden Army, do you want to rebel? ”

Murong Yan touched the top of his head, he was scared in his heart, and after hearing what Helan Sect said, he realized that he was a little angry, if the wolf guard really encircled and suppressed the Qinglong Army, he was afraid that he, the Marquis of Yingchuan, would not want to do it. No matter how big the official position is, as long as it involves rebellion, the court will never spare it.

Murong Yan stood up again under the protection of the general, pointed at Murong Yan and said, "Take your people away, so as not to harm my wolf guard soldiers and civilians here." ”

Helan Zong sneered and said: "Marquis Yingchuan, our Qinglong Army and your enmity are settled, you wait, as long as there is a Qinglong soldier alive in the future, your life as Marquis Yingchuan will never be easy!" With that, he turned his horse's head and left here, and behind him, the two armies of the Qinglong Army merged, and more than 6,000 people supported each other and left the Two Wolf Pass.

Murong Yan's face was pale, he also knew that these Blue Dragon Army would definitely hate him, but who could he resent? He is not a fortune teller, he will know that this plague is so ferocious, and even the wolf guard has been hit hard, who will he go to?

Thinking about it, Murong Yan felt that he was resentful of Zhang Xiaowu, if it wasn't for Zhang Xiaowu as the commander of the ghost guard, if he hadn't been doing things in Saibei, he wouldn't have led the sick man into the customs, let alone offended the Qinglong Army, he was not a person inside and out.

At this time, a ministry came to report: "There are several caravans that implore them to go out of the customs and go to the northern wooden city to trade." ”

"Outbound trading?"

"Yes."

"The two wolf cities are trading the market again, why do you want to go out of the customs?"

"They say Mucheng is easier to trade with herders......"

Murong Yan was furious: "From today onwards, the two wolf passes will be sealed!" In addition to the post guard, no merchants are allowed to go out of the customs, and no people are allowed to enter and exit the two wolf passes. ”
