Chapter 17: The Devil
Let's say that after Liu Yan and the others were received by the Qin army in Qipanguan, they arrived at Qipanguan for a quarter of an hour. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info There was no pass in the first place, and the Qin army should have deliberately set up a wooden gate along the road as a gate for fear that the Qiang army would run out of Shuzhong.
Although the gate is narrow, there are more than a dozen arrow towers on it, and in each arrow tower there are four people holding strong crossbows. After that, there was a second wooden wall, which was connected to the first to form a wooden wall. There is a sergeant standing on every third section of the wall.
Liu Yan stepped forward and pulled an accompanying soldier in the tube to ask about the Qiang people, as for this? The soldier made a frenzied pretense and said: "Adults don't know anything, but ordinary Qiang people have nothing to fear." But some Qiang people know witchcraft, and those who are seen will die if they appear. And this Qipan Pass is the last pass of my Great Qin, and I can't let these people get out of the pass.
Liu Yan is a completely atheist, and naturally does not believe in so-called witchcraft. Although there were indeed some things that the man in black couldn't explain just now, Liu Yan still felt that it was just a trick. Then he entered the pass with the army.
The Guannai is the camp of the Qin army, but the soldiers are panicked one by one, and the weapons do not leave their hands, and the tension cannot be expressed. At this time, Yin Liao, the general of Guanzhong, came from a distance, greeted Ma Chuang, and arranged a place for the army to be stationed. Liu Yan's 3,000 cavalry took into account the inconvenience of fighting in the mountains, so they arranged it in the center of the barracks.
When it was almost dinner, Ma Chuang approached Liu Yan's tent, and at this time, Liu Yan and Feng Jiang were talking about life with wine. There are obviously some complaints when they are interrupted, but military discipline still has to be observed. stepped forward to make a fist salute: I don't know if the adults are here, and they will miss the distance.
Ma Chuang smiled awkwardly: Where is it, General Liu doesn't have to be like this. Thank you for saving your life, and General Yin will have a banquet, and I will invite you two.
Liu Yan glanced back at Feng Jiang: What?
Feng Jiang pretended to sleep when he saw the horse breaking in, and he was embarrassed to pretend again when Liu Yan exposed it. got up and rubbed his eyes and made a fist salute: Haha, General Ma atoned for his sins. The villain has been in the pipeline for days and is a little tired. Fall asleep. The general bowed down and invited, how dare I refute the face.
Ma Chuangdao: Why don't you go immediately and be my companion?
Liu Yan and Feng Jiang hugged their fists at the same time: Oh!
"No need, no need to be formal, no need to be formal when there is no one else" Ma Chuang waved his hand awkwardly and went to the Yin Liao tent with the two of them.
When they entered the big tent, they found that the generals of the battalions had arrived, and they were waiting for the three of them. After the official position was served, a sergeant brought the food up, and Liu Yan didn't have any wine. was punched by the feudal territory next to him: You are bold, Qin Lu will be beheaded for drinking in public during the war!
"Haha, General Xie Machong came to help, and since then I am not afraid of that Nanban!" Yin Liao's words pulled Liu Yan's gaze over, and Liu Yan didn't take what Fengjiang said to heart. Seeing that Yin Liao was so timid, he looked at him with more mockery.
Yin Liao continued: "Now that our army is coming, we will not shrink down. The king has also urged many times, and he plans to send troops tomorrow, I don't know what his opinion is on being a general? ”
As soon as Yin Liao's words fell, he saw a naked man stand up and say, "General, we have been looking forward to it for many days. I wonder what the general plans to do with the captured Qiang?
Yin Liao frowned: We are too merciful, so we caused this catastrophe. If you can't kill it, I want no more Qiang people in Shu!
Liu Yan was so shocked by this that his chopsticks fell, and he stood up and hugged his fists: General, why is it so inhumane?
Yin Liao was brained by Liu Yan's words: Who are you?
Ma Chuang rushed and said: This is the vanguard of the cavalry, Liu Yan.
Yin Liao said: Can you know the viciousness of the Qiang people with your words?
"Yan doesn't know, but Yan knows that the Qiang people are not either!"
"Foolishness! Could it be that I, the Qin people, am not human? Yin Liao stood up angrily when he heard what Liu Yan said, and slammed the table, and the table clicked.
"I don't know what the general meant."
Yin Liao sat down slowly, "I'm short-tempered, don't you mind." I don't blame you for this, where is Qi Xuan?
Then I saw a sergeant come in at the door, and stepped forward to bow to Yin Liao: The last general! Liu Yan took a closer look, wasn't this the sergeant who was with Captain Wang at the beginning? I also helped Liu Yan, why are you here now.
Yin Liao nodded and pointed at Liu Yan and said, "Qi Xuan, you take this young general to the village next to Xuanwuya, just the village that was slaughtered by the Qiang people the day before yesterday. Be careful!
Qi Xuan frowned: Huh! Then he made a gesture of invitation to Liu Yan. Liu Yan didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in this Yin Liao gourd, so he got up and left. Feng Jiang saw Liu Yan get up and came out with him.
Out of the tent door, Qi Xuan walked in front without saying a word. Liu Yan and Feng Jiang also followed silently. When he arrived at the stable, Qi Xuan led three horses out of the territory and said: I want me to love the horse myself, this horse is not good.
Qi Xuan smiled: Don't talk about it, how can your war horse be used on this dirt road in the mountains.
Feng Jiang nodded and stepped forward to casually take out a horse from Qi Xuan's hand. Qi Xuan gave Feng Jiang Ma a look, and when he looked up, he found that Liu Yan was staring at him. Then he grabbed the reins of the horse and stretched it out to Liu Yan: My lord?
"You really don't recognize me?"
"Do adults recognize villains?"
Liu Yan looked at Qi Xuan, who was confused, and said: Do you remember when you went to the Xianyang City prison with that Captain Wang to bring out seventeen people? Did you save one of them?
Qi Xuan looked at Liu Yan in surprise and said, "My lord, but the one who buried the old man?"
"Exactly"
Qi Xuan's mouth opened all of a sudden, and he could stuff his fist: Haha, I didn't expect to be reckless at that time to save the adult.
Liu Yan knelt down suddenly: Thank you for saving your life.
Qi Xuan hurriedly helped him up: Don't be like this, this is my blessing. Hurry up, my lord, and the land is not far away, but it is not too early.
Then the three of them got on the horse, and after the previous intersection, the three of them talked more. Liu Yan didn't hide it, and told Qi Xuan everything that happened. Later, he told Qi Xuan that Captain Wang had been beheaded by himself.
Qi Xuan heard it: Okay, this person should be damned. I hate myself so much that I can't kill it. But as soon as the words fell, his face deepened: After crossing the mountain in front, I arrived at a small village where my Qin people lived before, and you are a little mentally prepared.
When the three of them crossed the hill in front of them, the wreckage of a village came into view. And I saw that the village was blackened by the fire. Further into the village, there was no living creature inside, and the room was full of wooden stakes left behind by the fire.
If you look closely, some of the wreckage shows that there are charred bones, and from time to time they emit the smell of smoke and stench. Feng Jiang was angry first: This is what the Qiang people did?
Qi Xuan said: Yes, you come with me. Then he led the two to the open space behind the village. The earth on the ground was empty, and when the wind blew, the sand and dust were raised, and it was evident that it had been turned over.
Qi Xuan said: There were originally 300 people in this village, and it was too late for our army scouts to discover this village. When General Yin brought everyone here, there were 300 people in this village, regardless of men, women and children, all of whom were spared, and the village had been burned to the ground. Those who could be brought out were brought out and buried here, and those who could not be brought out were burned to ashes.
Liu Yan saw the situation in front of him, and he only felt annoyed, and he thought to himself, only now did he understand why Yin Liao was so annoyed by what he said. Qi Xuan said again: This village is just a drop in the bucket, and no one in Shuzhong Qin was spared, and they were all slaughtered!
"What" Feng Jiang and Liu Yan looked at Qi Xuan at the same time and shouted.
