Chapter 44: Encounter
Qi Tian knew in his heart that although they had wiped out the army led by Pang Ru'an through an ambush, it was still far from Kefu's Hun army.
Therefore, before the arrival of Kirfu, Qi Tian could only take the villagers to the back mountain to take refuge.
As for when to hide, it depends on when the Dafeng Imperial Court will send troops to help.
After all, although Dafeng is now a woman in power, but the Dai County of Nuoda is occupied by the Xiongnu, which will inevitably attract attention, even if it is the king surnamed Xiao surnamed Yan, who is responsible for guarding Youzhou, it is impossible to sit idly by.
ββAfter Emperor Xiao Yan of Tai'an ruled the world, in order to better stabilize the country, the clan surnamed Xiao was the king, and every king of the clan surnamed Xiao held a fief in a state.
And the one who was sealed Youzhou was Xiao Shun, the king of Yan, who was fifty years old, both civil and military, and sat in Jicheng, the seat of Guangyang County.
Guangyang County is not far from Dai County, and the news of Dai County's capture is believed to reach Xiao Shun's ears soon.
After the Lord Yan sent troops to expel the Xiongnu, Qi Tian would take the Wolong villagers home again......
Qi Tian planned it like this, and said it to those Wolong villagers.
At present, there are only two ways in front of them, either to follow him to the back mountains to hide for a while, or to stay in the village and surrender to the Xiongnu, of course, as we all know, the Xiongnu are very brutal, even if the villagers take the initiative to surrender, it may not be able to survive.
Fortunately, most of the villagers in Wolong Village have a deep sense of family and country, and they would rather go to the back mountains to steal their lives than fall into the hands of the Huns.
And that small number of people, after seeing the fate of the traitor Sun Qingsun Shengsun Kong's grandfather and grandson, also agreed to Qi Tian.
As a result, Qi Tian did not suffer much from the action of sending the villagers of Wolong Village to the back mountain......
After arriving at the back mountain and arranging all the villagers, Qi Tian and Xu Qing took the members of the hunting team to check everywhere to see if there were any negligences.
It's okay if you don't check it, but if you check it, you really check out that there is a problem.
On this day, Xu Qing hurriedly came with a few members of the hunting team to report: "Brother Tian, we found someone halfway up the mountain. β
"Anyone?" Qi Tian frowned, you must know that there are many wild beasts in the mountains behind this, and hunters usually come to hunt.
And in all the villages below Macheng, except for Li Jiatun, the hunters are all staying in the Qitian hunting team.
So who is it in the middle of the mountain?
"Brother Tian, could it be that the Huns are chasing and killing us, right?" Xu Qing couldn't help but be worried.
Qi Tian immediately shook his head and denied: "No, firstly, they can't send troops so quickly, and secondly, they don't know that we have fled to the back mountain." β
"There must be something strange about this matter, let me go and see!"
"yes, okay." Xu Qing agreed, and then took a few members of the hunting team with nimble hands and feet, and followed Qi Tian to the halfway up the mountain.
After coming halfway up the mountain, Qi Tian really saw a figure swaying in the grass over there, as if he was still wearing armor and was a soldier.
Qi Tian was surprised, and even he couldn't help but think, could it be that the Huns couldn't succeed?
If it is really the Hun soldiers entrenched on the back mountainside, it will not be long before they will find the villagers of Wolong not far away, and a big war will inevitably break out at that time, injuring the innocent.
Now, Qi Tian decided to strike first and kill those Hun soldiers first.
So, Qi Tian glanced at Xu Qing.
As a little brother who has played together since childhood, Xu Qing understood what Qi Tian meant with just one look, and nodded in agreement.
Then, Qi Tian took Xu Qing and several other members of the hunting team, holding a repeater crossbow and slowly approached the soldiers in armor.
"Who? Who? β
Just as Qi Tian and the others were about to walk in front of those soldiers, the well-trained soldiers still noticed that something was wrong, and immediately raised their swords in their hands and questioned.
When Qi Tian was about to pull the trigger of the crossbow in his hand, he found that these soldiers were wearing Dafeng soldier armor, not the Hun army.
These people are Han Chinese, not Xiongnu!
Xiao Feng was surprised at the same time, and at the same time, he ordered Xu Qing and the others: "Let's do it slowly." β
Xu Qing and the others stopped pressing the trigger of the crossbow in their hands one after another, and looked at Xiao Feng suspiciously.
Xiao Feng looked at the Dafeng soldiers in armor: "Whose subordinates are you?" β
It stands to reason that in Macheng, there are only two people who can mobilize Dafeng soldiers, one is Yue Qing, the captain of the Macheng garrison, and the other is Pang Ruan, the deputy captain.
In the battle at the entrance of Wolong Village, Pang Ru'an and his traitor dog-legged subordinates were wiped out by the hunting team commanded by Qi Tian, so these people who appeared in front of him were probably Yue Qing's subordinates.
Sure enough, those Dafeng soldiers replied one after another: "We are General Yue Qing's subordinates, who are you?" β
Qi Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, and he also sent someone to inquire, saying that Yue Qing was unwilling to surrender to the Xiongnu as a traitor with Jia Gou, so he fled from Macheng with those like-minded subordinates with him, and he didn't know where to go.
I hid in the back mountains after a long time!
Qi Tian immediately spoke: "I am Qi Tian, the captain of the hunting team of Wolong Village, I know you General Yue Qing, take me to see him quickly." β
The soldiers looked at each other, and finally went to inform Yue Qing.
It didn't take long for Yue Qing to come in a hurry, and after seeing Qi Tian and Xu Qing, he was also very surprised: "Why are you here......
Qi Tian immediately told Yue Qing the ins and outs of the matter.
After learning that Qi Tian led the hunting team to kill Pang Ruan and his traitor soldiers, Yue Qing was overjoyed, and gave Qi Tian a thumbs up and praised;
"Okay, good, little brother, you really did a good job, and you have a bad breath in my heart."
Qi Tian clenched his fists excitedly and said: "General Yue Qing's refusal to surrender to the Xiongnu is a thousand times stronger than Jia Gou Pang Ru'an, and he is also extremely admired." β
Yue Qing sighed and said: "Forget Pang Ru'an, that guy is a villain on weekdays, but I didn't expect that the county magistrate would ...... too."
Indeed, compared to Pang Ru'an, Jia Gou has one set of official words after another on weekdays, and his atmosphere is Lingran, it is difficult for people to imagine that he would choose to give in to the Huns.
Qi Tian said quietly: "It's nothing, some people say that the official language is true, and some people say the official language but it is false, like Jia Wei, who speaks the official language obviously wants to make the people more subservient to him, so as to ensure their status." β
"He cares so much about his status, and naturally cares more about his own life, so it's nothing for him to surrender to the Huns......"
Yue Qing let out a long sigh and nodded noncommittally: "Little brother is reasonable, but the fact that little brother can kill Pang Ru'an is enough to show that you are a brave and resourceful person, I hope we can work together together in the future, and together we will drive the damn Kefu Huns out of Daijun!" β
