Chapter 90: A Proud Soldier
The eagle strikes the sky.
The high-pitched hiss crossed the gradually dull sky, and one after another banners jumped out of the mountains and went straight to Yunyao, and Changchuan County, which had already received the news, came out together.
Le Jin and Li Dian set up a welcoming formation, waiting for the arrival of the soldiers and horses in front.
The mountains stretched, among the lush greenery, Yun Yaohou's 10,000 soldiers and horses came out first, he sat on horseback, looking at the vast fields and mountains and forests, there were still residual smoke rising in the distance, slowly floating in the air.
"My Yunyu County, Ah, ......"
He shouted in a low voice, and the scout Pegasus had already arrived, telling him about the losses suffered by Yunyu County at the moment, and the old face was so angry that he blushed, and he waved his arm away violently, and drew his sword with a bang.
"Are those Xijon barbarians still there?"
"Go back to the Hou Ye, before you humble your post, you saw that they were chased and killed by the cavalry of Ding'an County!"
The anger on Yun Yaohou's face finally calmed down a little, revealing doubts: "The cavalry of Ding'an City? β
Hmmm-
In the sky, an eagle chirped, and when everyone raised their heads, the small black dots suddenly retracted their wings, like a sharp arrow swooping down, close to dozens of feet in the air, and spread their wings with a 'bang', and the shadow brought by the huge wings quickly crossed over everyone's heads, and flew forward to slowly come out of the Ding'an army.
A giant man raised his arm, and the eagle landed steadily, flapping its wings from time to time. γ
The banner with the word 'Ding'an' written on it accompanied the five thousand Ding'an troops out, Su Chen took Fang Xuejun, Dian Wei, Dong Zhuo, and Li Dao out of the fish, and came to Yun Yaohou's side to stand still, Su Chen arched his hand towards Le Jin and Li Dian.
"It's hard for the two generals to defend the city."
In the words, Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Fang Xuejun also bowed, which is the respect that the generals who defend the city should have.
"Don't dare to take credit for entering (the code)!" Le Jin and Li Dian returned the salute in unison.
Yun Yaohou on the side was envious, and Le Jin didn't say anything, this is called Li Dian's ability to lead the army. He didn't understand where the charm of this great general came from? Even if he is the first to get into trouble, the first to dare to argue with the court, he looks young and handsome, and his courage is stronger than that of people of the same age, so many people don't take refuge?
He has been following the incident for a while, and he hasn't seen many capable people to vote.
In the middle of his thoughts, the two generals who gave up their hands over there put down their hands, and one of them, a general named Lejin, stepped forward to ask Su Chen to go to Changchuan County.
"General, the carriage and horses are tired, please go to Changchuan County to stay and rest."
"No, I want to see the miserable situation ruined by the Xirong people...... Su Chen took the lead in the front, and his voice said: "...... I'm a very grudgeful person, I have to keep the picture in my heart, and I will return it to them in the future! β
Le Jin turned around and got on the horse, turned his head to the old man on the side and said, "Man Cheng, you take the Ding'an soldiers to Changchuan to camp first, and let them rest well all the way on this trip." β
It's all old partners, Li Dian nodded in response, and arched his hand towards Yun Yaohou Wu Huizhi and Fang Xuejun, and when he saw Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, he hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand, which can be regarded as a statement.
For these two people, Li Dian who just came here is still a little embarrassed.
Soon, the soldiers and horses were separated, Li Dian led the Ding'an army back to Changchuan, and the Marquis of Yun Yao also asked his generals to bring the 10,000 Rongzhou troops back to the barracks first, and then, he urged the horses to follow Su Chen, and also wanted to see what his Yun Yao County had been ruined.
The scope of Changchuan County is not bad, and the people in the village are well protected by Le Jin and Li Dian, but some of the fields where green seedlings have emerged have been trampled by cavalry, and it should not affect this year's harvest if it is remedied.
As they moved towards the realm of Yunyu County, everyone's mood gradually sank, and Su Chen's face remained indifferent, but for Fang Xuejun, who was often by his side, she knew that the man's heart was on the verge of exploding at the moment.
Along the way, there were corpses everywhere, men, women and children, as few as a few, as many as dozens of people were killed, and some good-looking and well-established women were disheveled, holding their men and dying together.
There are still unburned scorched wood in the forest, and there are only a few wooden stakes left in the grass hut inside, so there should be no living people. After only walking a few miles, the tragedy she saw on the way, as a young lady in the boudoir, Fang Xuejun couldn't stand it anymore, her face was pale, her whole body trembled, and her eyes were full of tears.
Further on, the roads and fields can finally see the traces of people, mostly ordinary people, hearing the Xirong people retreat, the first time to rush home, some people walked halfway, saw the corpse on the side of the road, then stopped, and then hugged the corpse and cried.
One of the old peasants was in the opposite direction of the crowd, carrying a hoe and walking past the crowd with a blank face.
Maybe it was the relationship of similar ages, Dong Zhuo opened his mouth to stop him.
"What are you doing with your hoe?"
The old peasant saw that everyone was riding horses, and that there were many armor guards guarding them, so he didn't dare to go just like that, so he stopped and pointed to the forest not far ahead.
"Dig a grave."
"To your old wife?"
"And sons and daughters-in-law." The old farmer didn't have any expression on his face, but his eyes were a little numb: "...... Two grandsons, one granddaughter, are ready to be buried together, and when they go to the grave in the future, they will go up together, and they will have one to take care of below. β
After saying that, the old farmer walked towards the forest over there with his hoe.
Su Chen stared at the horsehair and didn't look back at the other party, but every word of the old man told about the tragedy. He asked in a low voice: "Dong Gong, was the burning of Luoyang more tragic than this?" β
Li Dao, who was on Dong Zhuo's side, suddenly lifted his heart, and his whole body tensed. Dong Zhuo looked at the old peasant who went away, he was silent for a moment: "Why do you mention this stubble again, the old man was in a high position at that time, and he issued an order, which was all carried out by the people below, and when they left Luoyang, they began to set fire to kill people and relocate the people, how miserable it was, I can't see it." But Zhiran (Li Dao) knows it. β
Li Dao's hairs next to him stood up, as a Xiliang family, what they were most afraid of was mentioning Luoyang and Chang'an.
However, Su Chen didn't ask Li Dao, but affirmed it.
"It should be more than ten times worse than that."
After walking for a while, he turned to the official road of Yunyao County, where there was a Zhuangzi of the Fang family, and the tragic situation was no different from other places, but now the body has been identified and collected by relatives.
Not far from Zhuangzi, there were dozens or hundreds of people gathered, excitedly surrounding something, shouting and shouting, and the people in the front row were even slashing with knives.
Dian Wei stepped forward with two shield-bearers to disperse the crowd, and the corpse of a Xijon man was tied to a stake, and his body was full of wounds cut by the people with knives.
The corpse had a feathered arrow stuck in its head.
"Snow Lord!"
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted Fang Xuejun, and the woman followed the prestige on horseback, and saw a figure sitting on the side of the road, the original luxurious brocade robe was broken several times, and the bun was also messy, looking quite embarrassed.
"Second brother!"
Fang Xuejun turned over and dismounted, and ran towards the other party quickly, although Dafang was a little arrogant in Fang's house, but after all, they were relatives, and they couldn't help crying when they met after this catastrophe.
"I burned Zhuangzi...... Grandpa was afraid that the Xirong barbarians would grab the grain, so we took all the grain in the Zhuangzi and burned it all if we couldn't bring it all, saying that it was not cheap for them...... I...... My leg was wounded by an arrow from the men of Sijon. β
Fang Ling had never suffered this kind of sin since he was a child, but he still tried to keep the tears from falling. Su Chen also heard these words clearly, he turned around and glanced at Dian Wei, the giant man waved his hand, and a shield halberd soldier put down his weapon and shield, stepped forward to check Fang Ling's thigh, and was quite experienced in breaking the arrow back and forth, and then took the broken rod out of the flesh and blood, and finally sprinkled it with hemostatic medicine, and tore off Fang Ling's cuffs to tighten it.
In this action, the pain made Fang Ling's face bloodless, and his body seemed to tremble as if he was sifting chaff.
At this time, the sound of iron hooves plowing the ground sounded in the distance, and it rumbled towards this side, and the faces of the surrounding people who felt the ground trembling changed greatly, thinking that the Xirong people had killed again, and hurriedly ran to the side of Su Chen's five hundred shield halberds.
"Royal!"
A group of armor soldiers reacted quickly, stepped forward to block Su Chen and Yun Yaohou and erected a shield wall, and a long halberd poked outside.
Far away, the cavalry rushed roughly six or seven hundred, slowing down at fifty zhang, Su Chen squinted his eyes, and when he saw the two horsemen at the head, he raised his hand, and the surrounding shield halberders took the big shield and the long halberd and retreated to both sides in an orderly manner.
The first two are Lu Bu and Ma Chao.
The former urged his horse forward and arched his hand: "Bu came to hand over the order, and the barbarians committed the crime, all of them have died, and more than 1,000 of them have been poisoned and died of poisoning." β
Ma Chao, who was behind Lu Bu, did not speak, but carefully looked at the young general.
Here, Su Chen urged him to step forward, separated from the other party by a horse's head, and arched his hand: "The two generals work hard, and the soldiers work hard, only with you can kill all these barbarians!" Dai Yunyao and Ding'an counties would like to thank you! β
As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted and bowed to Lu Bu, Ma Chao, and the hundreds of cavalry behind them.
Lu Bu pursed his lips, and suddenly made a dismount movement, more than seven hundred cavalrymen also dismounted, Ma Chao looked at this scene, and also got off the horse, and then bowed to Su Chen together.
"I'm not pretentious, guys!"
Su Chen straightened up with his hands down, turned over and got on his horse again, and said in a loud voice: "Cut off the heads of all the Xijon people and collect them." The rest will follow me to Yunyao! β
"Whoa!"
The crowd shouted in unison, and in a moment, LΓΌ Bu issued an order, and the seven hundred cavalry scattered in all directions, either to collect the corpses of the lost suburbs, or to take the order to other wolf horsemen.
Su Chen turned his horse's head, made an invitation to the Marquis of Yunyao, and then took the generals to Yunyao County, and the tomb was also sent to the horse by Fang Xuejun, and she rode another horse to take care of it.
After returning to the city, she said goodbye to Su Chen and took her second brother back to heal first.
"Go ahead, and report safety to your family by the way."
The Fang family's ability to make a move that burning grain is not cheap for Hu people still makes Su Chen feel a little favorable, and his tone is much gentler.
Wait for Fang Xuejun to leave with Fang Ling from another street entrance. The moment Su Chen looked away, he changed from mild to indifferent, and Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Le Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Li Dao were stationed in Yunyao Mansion, Wu Huizhi was the master of the city, and now he was forced by the momentum of this group of tiger and wolf generals, and he felt that he was standing at the door.
His sons Wu Zixun and Tang Huaiyuan hurriedly came and were also stopped by him, and then, the father and son and one Tang Huaiyuan stood at the door and looked inside in a daze.
Then, they heard a 'boom', and in the public hall, several generals sat down in unison on the left and right.
"Originally, I still had a good impression of the Qi family in Yantang Pass, and I have guarded the pass for several generations...... But right now, I'm wrong. β
Su Chen stood behind the desk, his gaze swept over one by one, "Originally, I planned to cultivate for a period of time after forming an alliance, and then go north to Yanzhou when the grain and straw were enough to support the army, but now it seems that there is no need for this!" β
Li Wei, who had always been a fighting man, smiled evilly, and couldn't help but rub his palms, he felt that such a Su Chen had an appetite for him.
"Since you want to fight, then you have to be fast, before I come back, I have sent two generals Guan Zhang to lead 10,000 Xiliang troops to take a shortcut and go out of the mountain first. Rations for both armies were given to them. β
Su Chen pressed the desk, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lu Bu and Ma Chao: "The Bingzhou cavalry only brought five days' rations, and there was no more, and if the food was not enough, they would rob it. Two generals, can it be done? β
On the right seat, Lu Bu and Ma Chao got up and arched their fists: "Oh!" β
"Okay, I want to kneel in front of the three armies with my family, and after a while, I will rest for a while, and then I will set off immediately! Lejin and Zhang Liao adjusted the defense, Xu Qinghu and Zhang You assisted in guarding, taking into account the three counties of Ji and Qingshan, and Li Dian still guarded Changchuan. β
"Last ......"
Su Chen slammed his fist on the table, and his voice was low: "Finally...... Knock on the Xirong tribe and tell them that I want to fight Yanzhou, and it's better to be honest and not make trouble. β
The military agreed.
There was another battle, and the generals in the hall showed hideous smiles on their faces one by one.
The three people standing outside the hall looked at this group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in amazement, Tang Huaiyuan looked at Su Chen over there in almost disbelief, the little prince of the Hou Mansion in his memory in the past was completely replaced by the image of the general at the moment.
Su Congfang...... You've really given birth to a good son. β
