readx;
It was a sweltering night, and in the second half of the night, the wind suddenly picked up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dark clouds cover the moon, lightning and thunder, and a heavy rain is approaching......
Mucheng Valley, silent.
Diao Dou rang weakly, and it was time to be ugly. The lights at the entrance of Cao Yingyuan were extinguished, and from a distance, only the sparse light of the stars was seen. With such a heavy rain, the soldiers of Cao Jun hid in their tents, making the military camp look very silent, with a hint of suffocation......
Mucheng Valley is located thirty miles outside Longqi City.
It's not so much a valley as a canyon. From this to the west, through the canyon, the road is divided into two points, one is written in the valley, and the other is in Qiang. Speaking of which, it is also an extremely important pass in the west of Jincheng.
Cao Peng's soldiers and horses are stationed here!
Rumbling thunder, from time to time a silver snake tore through the sky. The miserable white light flickered and flickered, adding a bit of horror to the wooden valley. A flash of lightning appeared, and in the light, a group of extremely terrifying figures appeared outside the Mucheng Valley with black mud on their faces. The number of people is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to count them.
These people, braving the heavy rain, quietly approached the Mucheng Valley.
The sound of rain and thunder drowned out the sound of footsteps......
"Kill me!"
When these people approached the valley, they heard a sudden roar.
In an instant, thousands of people shouted at the same time and rushed towards the Cao camp of Mucheng Valley. And in Cao Ying, there is no movement!
The sneak attackers rushed into Cao's camp like a tidal wave.
From a distance, you can see that the lights in the big tent of the Chinese army are brightly lit, and there are figures shaking.
A leader-like man rushed into the tent with a bright big knife, and without seeing the situation clearly, he raised his knife and slashed a Cao soldier near the door to the ground. The human skull fell to the ground, but there was no sound. He hurriedly looked down, only to realize that it was actually a scarecrow tied in grass.
It's not good, it's a trick!
He hurriedly stepped forward and knocked down a few Cao generals who were still sitting in the big tent wearing armor.
It's all scarecrows......
"I've been tricked, let's go."
He hurriedly rushed out of the tent and hissed and roared.
Click, with a thunderous explosion, drowned out his shouts.
It was at this moment that rumbling war drums rang out from all directions. On both sides of the canyon, countless Cao Army archers appeared, aiming at the uninvited guests in the camp, which was a crazy design. Arrows whistled in the rain. Mixed with the rain, it sank into the bodies of those people...... A terrible scream echoed over the Mucheng Valley. The uninvited guests who found the plan immediately panicked, turned around and fled outside the gate.
But there is a way that it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out.
A group of white camel soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding long knives appeared outside the gate.
The first general, with an iron thistle bone in his palm, let out a loud roar from his mouth: "If you don't leave one, kill them all." ”
As he spoke, the white camel king under his crotch rushed into the crowd.
The thistle bones swept in with a muffled sound. More than a dozen uninvited guests raised their knives to greet them, but they heard the sound of a series of weapons breaking with a click, and the iron thistle bones carried a puff of blood mist, smashing those people to the ground one after another.
The white camel king, dressed in heavy armor, is like a tank, rampaging through the crowd.
"Jumping beam clown, dare to steal the camp?"
The general roared: "My son-in-law has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you stupid thieves to come and send him to death......
White camel, charge. ”
One by one, the white camels rushed into the camp with the general, but they saw the swords shining and the blood flowing!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the same time, inside Longqi City.
As the doors of the inns were opened, countless people in black walked out of the inns.
These people nodded to each other, and then immediately dispersed, rushing towards the two gates of Longqi City.
On the way, a group of men in black meet a group of people.
The leader was a man in black who was not too tall and slightly slender, and his face was covered with a black veil.
After the two sides met, they didn't speak, just nodded, and staggered by.
The black-clothed man with a black veil mask went straight to the official post......
"Girl, it looks like the dog thief is unprepared."
Standing outside the official post, you can see two dead wind lanterns that have been knocked down by the rain from a distance...... The gate of the official post was closed, and there were no guards around it. The man in black stopped, and after observing for a while, someone said, "Girl, let's do it...... It is estimated that Su Wei, the king of Qiang, has also taken action. ”
"Well, do it!"
The black-clothed man at the head pulled out his sword and pointed at the official post.
More than 200 people immediately rushed out of the shadows and rushed towards the official post. I saw that they moved flexibly and came to the official post wall, in groups of two. One is doing a riding squat under the corner of the wall with his hands in front of him. The other man walked like a fly, stepped on his companion's hand, and his body rose into the air with the help of his body, and straddled the wall.
Then, pulling his companion up, the two jumped into the courtyard wall at the same time.
After a while, I saw the gate of the official post open, and two black-clothed people waved outside behind the door.
The leader nodded, stepped forward with his sword, and rushed into the official post.
"Where does the dog thief live?"
"It's in the backyard...... Most of his subordinates are concentrated in the backyard, and with such a heavy rain, I am afraid that I will have already slept. ”
"Rush in and get me alive."
"But ......"
"But what?"
"King Su said, it doesn't matter if you live or die."
The leader's beautiful eyes widened, and he shouted softly: "It's you who decides, or I do." ”
"Naturally, the girl is in charge."
"So what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and ......"
Before the words fell, a scream was heard.
"What's wrong?"
The leader was stunned and hurriedly ran forward.
I didn't run a few steps when I heard the bowstring tremble. Zheng ...... Immediately following the roar that accompanied the sharp arrow through the sky, the leader hurriedly dodged, and heard a scream behind him. A man in black rolled over and fell in a pool of blood.
A sharp arrow struck him in the temple, almost through his head.
With the appearance of this sharp arrow, more than ten cold arrows were shot out one after another from the darkness of the official post. These cold arrows, arrows are not missing. And the man in black concentrated in the courtyard, so he became an obvious target, and was shot one after another.
"Wings!"
The leader exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly shouted.
More than twenty black-clothed men immediately moved and rushed towards the wings on both sides. A series of knocks on the door were heard, and the door was kicked open. Immediately after, I heard those people shouting: "Ran through the back window, chase!" ”
The companion rushed into the room, but there was a series of screams, followed by no sound.
The leader's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Ignition of the fire!" ”
As soon as the fire flickered, I saw two or three corpses lying in each chamber.
There were sharp blades stuck in the ground, and I think they stepped on the sharp blades when they rushed into the house, and then fell to the ground, and their lives were immediately taken. The back window was wide open, the raindrops swept into the wings, and the wind howled.
"Fooled!"
The leader was startled, and hurriedly said loudly: "Withdraw!" ”
But before the man in black could react, he saw the gate of the official post suddenly slamming shut.
On the wall, on the roof, there were people in black, holding crossbows, shining on the black-clothed people in the yard, and it was a burst of fierce shots. There was no place to hide in the courtyard, and the man in black let out a series of terrible screams like a rain of steel arrows. The leader hurriedly dodged and hid behind a pillar, shouting loudly: "Hide, find a place to hide." ”
But how easy is it to say?
The man in black was shot like a headless fly in the patio, and the lucky one ran into the corridor to save his life.
The chief also did not know how many of his companions had died.
However, the wailing sound coming from the courtyard made her feel extremely nervous.
"Dog thief, I'll fight with you!"
The wailing sound in the courtyard constantly stimulated the nerves of the man in black.
And after the opponent made a *** blow, he stopped shooting the arrow and disappeared without a trace. The thick smell of blood permeated the courtyard, and a man in black finally couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out from behind the pillars, and rushed into the courtyard with a loud roar.
A crescent-like cold light appeared, and the black-clothed man's body was still running, but the human head had fallen to the ground.
Blood was spurting from the cavity, and the body was still rushing forward.
That strange appearance made everyone feel inexplicably afraid.
However, no one saw it, and the enemy was revealed......
The huge official post has become a hunting ground. All the men in black have become the prey of each other! It's ridiculous to think that the murderer will become the killed? The leader leaned against the pillars, sat down slowly, and closed his eyes.
After a while, she suddenly took a deep breath and ripped the black towel off her face.
"Cao Peng, if you have a kind, you will come out to kill me, why bother sneaking."
She strode out of the porch, and behind her came the nervous shouts of her companions: "Girl, be careful......"
This time, however, there was no movement.
Lightning and thunder, wind and rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but the courtyard was silent.
The leader stood in the middle of the corpses, revealing a beautiful and touching face.
The rain soaked her clothes and outlined her graceful figure. But she didn't realize it, and she still had a sharp sword in her hand.
"Zhao Niangzi, it's really you!"
A moment later, a cold voice came from a side room.
Immediately after the door opened, Sun Shao and Deng Ai walked out with torches.
Behind them, a young man slowly walked out, it was Cao Peng.
He was dressed in a moon-white robe, with only a bag hanging from his waist, and he was unarmed. When Cao Peng appeared, a black-clothed man hiding under the porch suddenly burst out, holding a steel knife, and rushed towards Cao Peng.
"Be careful!"
The leader shouted.
But before her words fell, Cao Peng suddenly turned around, and an iron meteor flew out with a roar, slamming right in the face of the black-clothed man. The huge force directly smashed the door of the man in black into the dent...... The black-clothed man's face was covered with blood, his eyes were squeezed out, and he fell straight to the ground, dying of exhaustion.
"I just want to know, can Zilong be involved in this?"
Cao Peng ignored the corpse and stared at the leader of the courtyard.
This leader is Zhao Yun's wife, the Zhao lady with a rather suspicious background.
A look of guilt flashed on Zhao Niangzi's face, and then she said coldly: "Cao Peng, this is our personal grudge, and it has nothing to do with my husband." ”
"A personal vendetta?"
Cao Peng scratched his head and narrowed his eyes.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Wang Shuang, let's do it." ”
A shrill whistle sounded, but I saw a famous man descending from the sky like a ghost. No one knew how they had entered the corridor, each with a repeater and a short sword in their hands. The man in black was startled and hurriedly got up to greet him. But they were greeted by steel crossbows that came out of the string.
Short-bladed and unpredictable.
Soon after the shouts of murder sounded, they calmed down.
"Don't, don't ......"
Zhao Niangzi shouted loudly, but how could Yan Shi obey her orders. These scholars were trained by Shi A and trained in Xingyang for more than three years, which was even more terrifying than the scholars that Cao Peng brought to Jingzhou at the beginning.
The men in black are also brave and resolute, but they are completely unable to resist these ghost-like and unreasonable warriors. In the blink of an eye, nearly 100 people in black were cleaned up by the Yanshi......
These gentlemen slowly walked out from under the porch and approached Zhao Niangzi.
"Put down your weapon, put it down immediately."
Zhao Niangzi bit her lips tightly, and even shed blood.
But she also knows that the general trend is going away......
Although there are accomplices outside the official post, since Cao Peng can set up an ambush here, he must have been prepared.
She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Cao Peng, this girl just looks at you, how long can you be proud?" ”
Cao Peng smiled!
"I've always been proud, it was, it's been and it will be now.
Zhao Niangzi is so determined, I think I think that the six thousand Qiang soldiers outside Mucheng Valley can be relied on, right? ”
"You ......"
"Mrs. Zhao, you underestimate Cao's ability too much.
It's dilapidated, as its name suggests, dilapidated...... When I left Liangzhou, how could I not leave behind? Do you think I left Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jia Xing and them behind just to help my father stabilize the situation?
I tell you, Su Wei is my man!
You don't want to think about it, her Laozi's tribe is under my rule, how dare she not obey my orders?
Hehe, long before I came to Longqi City, I had secretly ordered the four towns in Hexi Guannei to send 6,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Shugu. As soon as Solvay's side took action, I had already received the news...... Presumably, at this time, Su Wei's Qiang has become a historical term and no longer exists. Next, Dou Mao, do you think you can help me?
In the land of the river, I have mobilized an army of 100,000.
After tonight, I will launch a general attack on Dou Mao...... I know that under the rule of the king of Di, there were 200,000 people. But I don't believe that the 200,000 people will accompany him to death. I have decreed that whoever resists, neither man nor woman, nor old nor young, shall be killed. He has 200,000 people, and he can withstand several massacres from me. Dead one person, ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people, they are not afraid.
But if 10,000 die, 100,000......
I see that there are 100,000 people left, and they dare to oppose me again? ”
Zhao Niangzi looked at Cao Peng blankly, suddenly plopped and sat on the ground.
Cao Peng sneered, "Then next, I want Zhao Niangzi to solve my doubts...... You and me, what personal grudges? ”
Zhao Niangzi raised her head suddenly, looked at Cao Peng, and her eyes were like ***.
"Cao Peng, you killed my father and took my homeland, I have a grudge against you."
"Kill your daddy? Take your homeland? ”
Cao Peng suddenly felt that the Zhao lady in front of him seemed to be a little familiar.
If you lose that layer of the charm and maturity of a young woman...... He patted his forehead, pointed at Zhao Niangzi and said, "Horse, horse, horse...... You are the daughter of Maten. ”
He couldn't remember the other party's name, but in Guzang City, the girl who was like a little leopard came to his mind.
What's the horse?
"Ma Yunlu!"
Cao Peng finally remembered the other party's name, "You are Ma Teng's daughter." ”
Zhao Niangzi had red eyes, glared at Cao Peng, and didn't say a word.
"Escort her down."
Several gentlemen stepped forward and arrested Ma Yunlu.
seemed to be desperate, Ma Yunlu did not resist, and let Yan Shi tie her rope.
"Slow!"
Cao Peng said suddenly: "No need to tie up, put her in the firewood room, and wait for Zilong to come back, and then dispose of it." ”
Ma Yunlu suddenly raised his head, looked at Cao Peng and shouted, "This matter has nothing to do with Zilong...... He didn't know who I was. Cao Peng, if you want to kill or chop, you can dispose of it. But Zilong didn't know about it. ”
"Worried about him now?"
Cao Peng smiled coldly, "Don't worry, it won't be long before you meet him." ”
Ma Yunlu struggled to rush up, but was held down by Yan Shi.
"Zilong is innocent...... He had no idea who I was.
If he really participated, how could he rescue Wang Mai? The king has bought my plan, and if it were not for Zilong, he would surely die. ”
Cao Peng wanted to leave, but when he heard this, he suddenly stopped.
"You...... Is it Ma Rufeng? ”
"That's right!" Ma Yunlu held his head high proudly and said loudly: "I am Ma Rufeng, I almost killed Ma Rufeng that you bought from your sworn brother Wang." Cao Peng, if you have the ability, kill me? Avenge your brother. ”
Ma Yunlu, is it Ma Rufeng?
This was an unexpected result for Cao Peng.
He stared directly at Ma Yunlu, but Ma Yunlu held his head high and looked at him fearlessly.
After a while, he sighed softly, "Miss Ma, I have a public enmity with your father, and each is just his master...... I killed him because he killed the tiger's father. It is reasonable for you to kill me. But your mistake is to get Zilong involved in this grievance...... Do you think you can end this matter if you die? ”
After saying that, he didn't look back, but walked away.
"Cao Peng, kill me......"
"Wang Shuang, take care of her!" Cao Peng's cold voice came, "If she is missing a hair, I will ask for you." ”
"Whoa!"
A stout young man stepped out of the sturdy man.
He came to Ma Yunlu, looked at Ma Yunlu, and said coldly: "Miss Ma, have you heard everything?"
I advise you not to think silly...... If you die, General Zhao will be full of mouths, and he can't say clearly. ”
Ma Yunlu did have the idea of seeking death.
But after hearing Wang Mai's words, he suddenly stopped struggling.
That's right, if she died, Zhao Yun would be real, and she couldn't say it anymore......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After a night of wind and rain, the morning sun rises.
The storm washed away the heat over Longqi City, and in its place, there was a trace of coolness.
The people living in Longqi City clearly felt the unusual aura that permeated the sky above Longqi City. As a group of soldiers rushed into the inn of the city, they tied many ropes and ropes out.
Among these people, some are Qiang Di who came to Longqi City to do business, and some are innkeepers.
Of course, it's more of an unfamiliar face......
There was a familiar one who wanted to go up to ask the officer, but he saw a group of amiable old acquaintances on weekdays, his eyes were wide, and his murderous spirit was revealed.
"What do you inquire?"
"Ah...... Just curious. ”
"It's too curious, it's going to kill people...... Do your thing, Hugh ask more. ”
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Those people were drenched in cold sweat one by one.
This is a big deal!
By noon, a group of Cao's soldiers and horses appeared outside the city.
Escorted countless Qiang captives and stationed directly under the city. Pang Tong took Shamoke into the city to return to Cao Peng, and at the same time presented Su Wei's head to the bookcase in front of Cao Peng.
"Didn't I say you want to live?"
Shamoko had a bitter face, "Childe, it's dark and it's raining so hard, how can I know who Su Wei is?" Anyway, if there is someone who wants to do it, I'll go over and give it to him...... This guy has some impressions, he looks quite strong, but he can't catch me. As a result, after smashing down, it became like this. ”
Su Wei's head in the brocade box was blurred with flesh and blood, and his brains were drained......
Cao Peng frowned, and directly swept the brocade box off the bookcase.
"It's all smashed like this, what are you still sending it for?"
"It's the son's confession, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death...... I felt that the corpse was too much trouble, so I cut off the head. ”
Cao Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly!
"Well, hang this Rausch on the gate of the city and show it to the people...... I just don't know, can anyone still recognize him, he is Su Wei, the king of Qiang. ”
Pang Tong couldn't help but laugh too, waved his hand and motioned for the guards to come over and take Su Wei's head away.
"Childe, next, are you going to attack Dou Mao?"
Cao Peng rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and his spirit improved a lot.
"Dou Mao has to solve it, but before that, there is one more thing that must be solved......
By the way, how many captives were captured last night? ”
"After counting, about 1,000 people were killed, 3,000 remnants were captured, and the rest fled without a trace."
"Kill them all!"
Cao Peng waved his hand, looking like an understatement.
"Killed?"
Pang Tong was stunned.
Cao Peng sighed and said in a deep voice: "In the past, I once said that the Qiang Han family.
I consider myself to be kind to these guys, giving them land, giving them houses, giving them a good life, and even when they break the law, I will give them some corresponding broadband and privileges.
I had good intentions, but some people thought I was weak.
Since this kind of intention could not make them surrender honestly, then simply use iron and blood to let them figure out the situation. These guys are stubborn people, just like the Huns. Dogs can't change their, so be kind today, and tomorrow when they recover a little bit of vitality, they will come over again to make trouble......
I don't have the energy to play this game with them every day.
Tell Hehuang that I want Dou Mao's head...... Those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die! I won't see Dou Mao's head for ten days, and that is when Ma Tread the River. When the time comes, corpses will be strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood will flow, and Hugh will blame me for being ruthless. ”
"Whoa!"
When Pang Tong heard this, he immediately understood what Cao Peng meant.
Enough foreplay, next...... It's just to see who is more ferocious!
Simple generosity does not necessarily move these Qiangs. It must be both hard and soft to achieve the goal.
Cao Peng sighed, "It's a pity, I'm afraid that the candidate for the western lieutenant will have to be reconsidered!" ”
Pang Tong did not speak.
"By the way, Zhao Yunbu, where is it now?"
"Already on the way home...... Gongwei's troops and horses are secretly watching.
Su Ze led a large army and captured the Broken Qiang camp...... Su Yan's family obeyed the order of his son, did not embarrass him, and was sent back to Xiqiang. General Zhao's men and horses are expected to arrive in Longqi City at noon tomorrow at the latest. ”
