The night continued, in the huge city, at the same time as the soldiers and horses went out of the city gate, the lights in the courtyard of the Wei family were lit for a moment, and then extinguished, and the black man with a leopard's head and eyes quietly left from the back door, behind the door, Wei Yan, who saw him away, was tall and strong, his legs stood there and kept tense at all times, the short whiskers under his chin were thick and pin-pricked up, his teeth were bulging, but there was no expression on his face, but occasionally his arms couldn't help but move back, wanting to hold the handle of the knife.

This series of demeanor is a habit that has been retained for a long time, even if it comes back for a while, it is not possible to adapt to this life without war for a short time, and even sometimes suddenly wakes up from sleep, and gropes for weapons with cracked teeth, so that the concubine next to the pillow is frightened and pale. In fact, this is not strange, the seven years of the Western Expedition, especially in the last four years, the cruel to the extreme, every day, from small-scale pursuit battles, to large-scale battles, high-intensity battles are far away, it is far away in this Han Dynasty unimaginable picture, even after returning to Jingzhou, the time before, as if living in a dream.

"How dare they do this......" Wei Yan took a deep breath into his lungs, expecting to dissipate a little of the fire in his heart....... however, in this darkness, his eyes were extraordinarily deep and bright, his fists clenched abruptly, turned around and strode back to the house, looking at the armor placed on the shelf, the mottled knife marks on it, his whole body trembled slightly, and for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Someone, put on armor for the general, follow me to the barracks-"

In the voice, the sky outside gradually turned blue.

At the southern foot of Xiangyang, the majestic stretch of Zhangshan is just an outline in the early morning of lead green, the bare forest is covered with snow, occasionally there is a sound of vibration, falling down, extending out of the branches below, is the dry riverbed in winter, the remaining puddles form a thin layer of ice, and then, the horse's hooves are crushed, the running horse team has been along this riverbed to the north, on the way is also stop-and-go, before encountering a few ambushes to make these people suffer, if not to experience inhuman war, The physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary soldiers, otherwise he would have fallen behind halfway, and there are also comrades in the team who were injured before, so he can only rush for a while and rest for a while.

Over the years, they have supported each other all the way back to the Han Dynasty.

"After the front mountain pass, about a hundred miles away from Xiangyang, you can't get too close there, if it's safe, it's best to go around Xinye, cross Bowang to Wancheng, where Cao Ren is stationed, the relationship between the Cao family and the Gongsun Governor is also good, it should be able to do some convenience for us, at least don't worry about being left behind."

Between the sights, there was gradually morning light, and in the team that stopped to rest, Zhou Yu said his opinion. Along the way, Sun Ce and other more than 700 horsemen came north, crossed the mountains and took some more detours, and finally threw off the pursuers behind him, and the veteran Huang Zhong and the captured Ma Zhong also walked with the team.

"Then Liu Bei shouldn't be able to intercept and kill me, what good does this have with him?" Huang Zhong dismounted, dug away the snow and pulled a tuft of withered grass, wiped off the dew on the phoenix mouth knife, and then sat down in the snow: "On the way back to Changsha, I also heard that he has the name of benevolence, and he will never do such a thing." ”

"Who said it clearly......"

Sun Ce picked up the snow and ate a few bites, and rubbed his face with the remaining snow, "Before this happened, I didn't believe that Zhongmou would kill me....... not to mention that when I came back, I heard that Liu Bei and Zhongmou joined forces to fight against Cao, and they fought very well in Chibi, since they formed an alliance, how could they let me go?" ”

Speaking of Sun Quan, the three of them suddenly looked at Ma Zhong, who was tied to the reins by his neck, who stomped his feet on the ground, and when he saw the gaze cast, he shivered coldly: "Three heroes, don't look at me, Zhong has already abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, it is your gang." ”

"Forget it, asking him won't help, will Liu Bei embarrass us, let's go over and have a look first."

After that, everyone rested for a while, and when they set off again, the early winter sun had gone up to the clouds, west of Xiangyang City, linking Xinye official road, a carriage drove to the military camp over there, and now Jingzhou's most high-profile westward return army is stationed here, and the reward of the imperial court has not yet come down, but it does not hinder Wei Yanjia, who is the commander of the army, is in the king, not to mention, now after Liu Bei enters Jingzhou, he is naturally greedy for this elite army that originally belonged to Liu Biao, and he has only come back for half a month, it is impossible to force people in, and he is tempting, found that this team was unusually united and xenophobic, looking down on ordinary soldiers, and it was even more impossible for ordinary generals to take over, Wei Yan became the target of his efforts.

However, for this kind of unruly person, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu didn't pay much attention to it at first, gentle words, plus righteousness and wealth to open the way, it should be okay, but after a while, after a while, there was not much progress after all, thinking of the guarantee in front of the lord, both of them did not look good.

"Wei Yan is troublesome, the military advisor said that he has a backbone in the back of his head, and sooner or later he will mess up, maybe he can start from the soldiers, take his time, don't worry."

The two whispered a few words in the carriage, and as the road staggered to the barracks outside the gate to get off, they saw the arrow tower, the archers pulled the strings, and the soldiers at the door below increased a lot more than usual, Mi Zhu walked over quickly, and the two spears suddenly crossed to block him, but it did not prevent him from looking at the school field through the gate, the dense figures were silently and neatly arranged over there, each person was wearing armor, the swords and soldiers hung their waists, and the spears stood up like a forest, and the wind blew, I don't know when, he saw the barracks hanging on the barracks, It was a broken banner, and the scalp under the crown and hat was numb.

It was a heart-pounding sensation that came to my heart.

Mi Zhu broke through the spear at once, grabbed the wooden pillar of the fence and pushed it hard, and shouted over there: "General Wei, what are you going to do?!" Sun Qian, who was behind, was also rushing, but was pushed back by the soldiers, stumbled to the ground, hurriedly got up, turned around and jumped into the carriage, and asked the coachman to leave quickly and go to another military camp here-Bai Yubing.

In front of the school field, the tattered wolf flags of countless banners and guards hunted, and 12,000 soldiers of the Western Expedition raised their heads and looked at the high platform, as well as the big flag, as if they had returned to the sea of corpses and blood, and countless lives rushed towards the enemy with the screams of this flag.

On the high platform, the general in armor and holding a knife walked to the edge, and everyone below seemed to have a premonition, and the blood flowing quietly in the veins burned at this moment.

"Are you used to life in the sheepfold......

The voice of the general on the high platform was not loud, but in the strange and quiet atmosphere, it clearly reached the ears of Mi Zhu outside the gate, when he heard this sentence, his body became cold, and the uneasiness in his heart turned into substance and pressed down on him, and it became difficult to breathe, desperately struggling in the soldier's arm, hysterically making the loudest sound in his life.

"Wei Yan! How dare you rebel—"

"Brothers who have returned from the Western Expedition, in the early hours of this morning, I will hear a chilling news, for seven years, our comrades who have fought side by side with us have not even been able to return home! We fought the enemy with our lives outside, and returned to Dahan, who were hiding in dark corners and wanted our lives—"

The high-pitched voice suppressed the faint shouts in the distance, Wei Yan smashed the wooden board with the dragon bird knife and splashed dust, looking at the 12,000 brothers with fierce faces on the opposite side of the field of vision, the majestic voice exploded like thunder: "Jiangdong Sun Ce is outside now, his brother wants to kill him, and Liu Bei in this Xiangyang City also wants to kill him, do you allow these to kill their own brothers?" ”

"Not allowed!"

These men who had returned from the battlefield finally released their oppression, frantically swinging their weapons and slapping their shields or spears on the ground, screaming with all their might.

The gate opened, Wei Yan jumped off the high platform, picked up the knife and got on the horse: "Let's go!" Whoever prevents us from saving our brother will kill him, hundreds of thousands of Daqin people can't live in us, just Jingzhou, who else can? ”

"Stop, General Wei, you can't do this!" Mi Zhu stopped in front and screamed, but then was pulled away by the soldiers, thrown aside, a thousand light horsemen rushed out of the school field like a long dragon, more than 10,000 foot soldiers and archers in the rear rushed out with steps, dense footsteps shook the ground, and when they were about to go in the direction of Zhangshan, a soldier and horse stopped them.

"Wei Yan, tell your soldiers and horses to stop—"

Chen Zhi led two thousand Bai Yu soldiers and Sun Gan to finally catch up at this time.
