Chapter 35: The Frontier and the Imperial Capital

It is also the junction of Shuofang County, Xihe County and Shang County.

The terrain is very complex, with a wide expanse of marshland as the source of the water, a mountain range to the southeast, and a birch forest to the north.

More than 1,000 Qiang cavalry were resting here, and they were indeed very tired from the race against death all the way.

Even the horses, which usually love to make a splash in this kind of land, are lazy and uninterested in eating forage, and their weight has been seriously lost these days, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to their peak state for a long time.

Ouyang Nagu was also uncomfortable looking at the state of the war horse, and his own mount was the same, he was originally a good horse, but now he is getting thinner and thinner, and his demeanor is no longer what he used to be......

"It's all these damn Han people!"

Ouyang Nagu scolded viciously.

Recently, as long as the Han people are mentioned, Ouyang Nagu is angry, but he will inadvertently think of them because of many things......

Fortunately, after crossing the white soil, the group of mad dogs seemed to give up and did not chase again, otherwise they didn't know if they would be able to hold out until they returned to the camp.

Perhaps, the Han people cherish their war horses more, after all, it is time to lose weight if they chase their horses any longer.

Ouyang Nagu was also able to take this opportunity to disperse his guards to gather some scattered clansmen, and the troops under his command recovered from more than 600 to 1,000.

Then the group came here, which was out of danger, after all, this path leading to the depths of the desert was known only to the Qiang people.

"Anyway, the matter has come to this point, the compensation will be paid, isn't it just going back and starting over!"

Ouyang Nagu gently stroked the mount that bowed his head and drank water, comforting himself.

Suddenly, the mount seemed to notice something, stopped licking the water, and looked up at the front right.

Then the earth began to tremble, this feeling Ouyang Nagu was very familiar with, and it was the manifestation of the cavalry charging from the brigade.

"The Han people are here! Get on board and get out of here! ”

Ouyang Nagu hurriedly beckoned the guards and shouted around.

But many of the Qiang people were very slow.

"Flee to the source of the water and it is safe," is what their leader has always instilled in them on the road.

Once a person relaxes the tense nerves in a crisis, fatigue will hit very quickly.

But it didn't take long for them to hear the shouts of the leader's guards again, and it was difficult for them to cheer up for a while......

Didn't you say you'd be safe here?

How can there be pursuers?

Why is it still rushing from the front?

How do you escape? Where else can I escape?

The Qiang soldiers had too many questions for a while......

Perhaps, these Han people are really demons, how can we mortals escape the pursuit of demons?

Some people began to waver in their faith, remembering the fatigue and fear they had before, and they were reluctant to try again, maybe it would be easier to surrender and die?

The reaction in his hands was naturally slow when he thought about it, Ouyang Nagu almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he saw the slow reaction of many clansmen, but now he couldn't take care of them, he took a few clansmen who still wanted to flee for their lives, turned his horse's head and ran away towards the road he came!

These clansmen will die when they die, but they can't die, as long as they can go back alive, they will still have their clansmen, wealth, and army, so it's a big deal to spend more time......

But after only running for a while on a war horse, Ouyang Nagu saw a neat Han cavalry formation standing quietly in front of him.

"There's no way back, rush over! The other party didn't get up fast, don't be afraid, follow me! ”

Ouyang Nagu's heart instantly cooled, but the strong desire to survive immediately awakened his senses, and shouted at the more than two hundred horsemen who followed him.

He gripped his long knife tightly, trying to give himself some security, and then rushed straight towards the Han cavalry.

The strike time of the cavalry hedge is actually very short, and the number of opponents is not large, as long as they penetrate the opposing military formation, they still have a way to survive!

However, Ouyang Nagu, who was watching the movements on the opposite side, quickly noticed that a burly and imposing Han general was hedging towards him on horseback.

He quickly adjusted the speed of his horse, so that the two guards behind him could catch up and protect him on his left and right, so that he was not afraid of the attack of the other party sweeping from the left and right.

Sure enough, when he saw Laijiang, he was about to raise his halberd and prepare to hit him head-on from top to bottom, Ouyang Nagu also raised his knife to resist, even if his strength was not as good as the other party, when he blocked the opponent's weapon and slowed down, he could still save his life sideways......

But at the moment when the two sides met, Ouyang Nagu's hands that sent out his weapons to resist did not feel any force hindering, but instead his gaze staring ahead quickly rolled up.

In the end, Ouyang Nagu didn't know that it was the effect caused by his head flying......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The imperial capital of Luoyang.

Yuan Ben, the eldest young man in the Beijing circle, rushed back to the Taifu Mansion in a hurry.

He has indeed not been back for a long time, and has been organizing and planning "Friends of Run" to exchange prisoners from the prison to save people recently, and Yuan Shao is really busy.

Because he was not available, the instructions to the elders could only be perfunctory, and finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the head of the family, Yuan Kui, who sent someone to look for him, and then strictly ordered him to return to the house immediately.

"Shao has been busy with important matters recently, and he hasn't been in the house for a long time, and he asked his uncle to scold ......"

Yuan Shao walked into Yuan Kui's study and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, asking for sin.

"Originally, what important thing did you have that was more important than the affairs of the court? Isn't it a happy drinking drink and forgetting your last name? ”

Yuan Kui sat on the stool and closed his eyes, glanced at Yuan Shao, who was kowtowing, and said lightly.

The Han Dynasty scholars advocated the ritual of kneeling, and it was not etiquette to sit on a stool with a backrest, but Yuan Kui never saw outsiders in the study, but it didn't hurt, not to mention that he was too old to kneel all day, and the stool was not etiquette but comfortable!

"Uncle, I know what is wrong! But Shao did run around and inquire about important secrets this time, and my uncle listened to Shao's details......"

Yuan Shao listened to Yuan Kui's fluttering words, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed two more times to continue.

These actions are naturally pretended by him, and after controlling the major information, he is also plotting a big thing, but before that, he can't let others, especially the head of the family, Yuan Kui, know, so he must pretend to be controlled by his uncle at any time.

In addition, he had already thought of an excuse for his busyness, and immediately reported to his good uncle that he had inadvertently learned the news of Long Wei's remnants back then......

"I heard that Ouyang rebel led the water division to avoid Yizhou, although he is deceased, but his son Ouyang Qi is based on Yizhou, after many years of governance, now it is a fledgling wing, he saw that the vision of the past year was frequent, the barbarians resurged, the states were in chaos, and there was a heart to return to China to compete for the world!"
