Chapter 181: Assassination

A squad of cavalry struggled through the snow.

The horses and cavalrymen were wrapped in felt, their hands were on the hilts of their swords, their expressions were solemn, and their eyes looked around vigilantly.

The middle-guarded elder of nearly sixty had a clear face, but his expression was a little tired.

At this age, rushing to Xiping in such weather, the old man naturally couldn't stand it.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, whimpering between heaven and earth, like a knife to lift the felt of the cavalry.

The horses let out an occasional neighing or two.

And in the howling of this cold wind, there is another sound.

- The sound of galloping horses' hooves.

The faces of the hundred cavalry generals changed, "They're coming!" ”

The other cavalrymen immediately picked up their crossbow machines and headed in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.

The sky was covered with clouds, and the cold wind howling all day long made the heavens and the earth low.

In the darkness, nearly a thousand cavalry rushed out, brandishing long knives and screaming from their mouths similar to that of wolves predatoring.

"Qiang thief?"

The identity of the one who will be seen at a glance by a hundred people.

Out of Chang'an, there are Qiang and Di people everywhere.

It's actually too common to meet a gang of Qiang thieves now, right?

The old man who was protected in the middle looked at the rushing Qiang thief with a deep gaze, and said in a low voice: "It's not an ordinary Qiang thief, it's not invincible, go!" ”

"Yui!" Hundreds of people will make an instant decision, and the crooked fingers are stuffed into their mouths and a whistle is blown.

More than 500 cavalry quickened up with a sharp heart.

But the Qiang rider obviously didn't intend to let them go, and they didn't give up like a pack of wolves, biting them in the back.

In the chase, crossbow arrows and bows exchanged arrows.

People kept falling, and people and horses were trampled into pulp.

But the Qiang cavalry did not care about casualties, and persevered with crossbow arrows.

The hundred generals also felt the unusual ride of this Qiang horse, and increased the speed of the horse.

Just when they thought they could get rid of the enemy behind them, the first few horsemen suddenly stepped into the air and fell into the pit, blood splattered, and the men and horses let out a terrible scream at the same time.

In the light of the calcium carbide fire, hundreds of people clamped their legs tightly on the horse's belly, lifted the reins, and the war horse jumped up and jumped over the pit.

As soon as he landed, before he was glad to have escaped death, there were screams behind him, and his face changed: "Lu Gong! ”

"I'm fine." The old man's sigh came from the pit.

Hundreds of people will drive forward, and when they see the scene in the pit, they can't help but feel a shock in their hearts.

I saw that Lu Gong was supported by more than a dozen wounded soldiers, and sent Lu Gong's emaciated body to the other side of the pit.

The wounded soldiers and horses were all pierced through their bodies by sharp stakes.

The internal organs and blood flowed outward from the wound......

Hundreds of people burst into tears and hooked Lu Gong up.

Both of them had infinite sadness in their eyes.

At this time, the Qiang cavalry had already arrived, and the leader Qiang general laughed loudly, "Lu Zhi, you can't run!" ”

Lu Zhi pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he sneered: "Thieves are so rampant, someone must instruct them!" ”

General Qiang laughed, "Hahaha, you are alive, everyone's life is not easy!" ”

The young hundred people will be furious, "It must be Yang Zheng who sent you!" ”

Qiang's laughter was even more insolent.

……

In the past, Yang Zheng still had some sympathy for Cao Shuang.

Now it seems that everything is self-inflicted.

If you don't wait to see yourself, forget it, Lu Zhi was also kicked by him to the bitter cold land in the northwest.

After waiting for seven or eight days, an astonishing news shook the three prefectures of Yongliang and Qin.

Lu Zhi and his party of 500 people were assassinated in Poqiang!

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Yang Zheng's scalp suddenly became numb.

Lu Zhi was assassinated, who is the biggest suspect?

And he was assassinated on his own turf......

The news came in the morning, and Xiahouba's letter came in the afternoon.

It's just six words: What does Xingyun want?

Xiahou Ba's temper Yang Zheng knows too well.

If it's a long scolding, it means that it's nothing.

The shorter it is, the angrier he is.

Xiahou Ba's letter just came, and Xiahou Xuan's letter also came, but Xiahou Xuan was sober, so Yang Zheng was a little calm, investigated clearly, and rescued Lu Zhi.

This letter reminded Yang Zheng that Lu Zhi was assassinated, but did not say that he was killed.

The Broken Qiang guard is Wang Mai, and he also respects Yang Zheng, whether it is collecting grain or conscription, he never disobeys.

However, the geographical location of Poqiang is very delicate.

It is Wuwei to the north, Jincheng to the east, Longxi to the south, and Xiping to the west.

It is at the junction of the counties.

It was difficult to determine who attacked Ruzhi for a while.

Yang Zheng personally led a thousand cavalry to the east.

rushed to Poqiang, Wang Mai came out early to greet him, with a ashamed face, "his subordinates are incompetent......"

Yang Zheng stared at his face for a moment, this person belonged to a typical martial artist, with a beard, a face full of meat, a strong body, and he didn't look like a particularly scheming person.

The key is that he doesn't have much background.

Gongsun Fu's people kept staring at him, and they didn't see him hooking up with anyone, and besides, he had no reason to harm Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi had an accident in his land, and he couldn't escape it.

"Is there any news of Lu Taishou?"

"Lu Taishou was ambushed in Huangliupo, and his subordinates rummaged through them one by one, but there was no body of Lu Taishou."

"What about scouts? Didn't you send out scouts? ”

"It has been dispatched, there is no news, today the subordinates asked the scouts to enter Wuwei, Jincheng, and Longxi to investigate." Wang Mai is quite capable.

Yang Zheng couldn't find anything wrong.

The northwest is like this, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and now it is cold and freezing, and it is not easy to find clues.

Just as Yang Zheng was pondering, a noise of people and horses came from the east.

From afar, you can see the tooth flag of "General Xiahou Wei" standing in the cold wind.

Yang Zheng's heart tightened, and Xiahouba also came in person.

Poqiang is actually closer to Yungo.

Yang Zheng hurriedly trotted over and half-knelt in front of Xiahou Ba's horse, "The last general Yang Zheng pays a visit to General Wei." ”

Xiahou Ba and his party stopped, but did not make a sound.

Yang Zheng sensed a gaze sweeping around his body like a knife.

After a few breaths, Xiahou Ba's low and suppressed anger voice came, "All retreat." ”

Yang Zheng's men, Xiahouba's men, and Wang's bought men and horses all automatically retreated far away.

Xiahou Ba rode on the horse and looked at Yang Zheng coldly, "Li Mi forget it, this person deserves it, but Lu Shiying is an important minister of the imperial court, he is famous in Yongliang, he once served under the command of Da Sima, and when he guarded Yongliang, he was an old friend with your father Yang You!" ”

Cao Zhen was first a general, and then a great Sima.

"What?" Yang Zheng was extremely surprised.

Xiahou Ba snorted coldly, "You were young back then, and you were in Chang'an, so naturally you don't know, but do you know that this Captain Qiang was fought for you by him!" ”

Yang Zheng's whole body was shocked.

It's no wonder that the fat deficiency of Captain Huqiang will fall on him.

It turns out that the person above is him!

"Did you do it?" Xiahou Ba asked sharply.

After more than a year of separation, the two finally gave birth to some estrangement.

Maybe it was Li Mi's letter that still had an impact.

Secretly knotted with Qiang people, often with Dong Zhuo's ambition.

The wound of the sword can be healed in ten months, but the words of the heart are not so easy to heal.
