Xuchang City was originally called Xudu when Cao Cao welcomed the Emperor of Han Dynasty here. Then the emperor was kidnapped by Liu Bei, and Cao Cao occupied the four northern states. In order to consolidate the rule of the four northern states, he moved the capital to Jizhou. Since then, Xuchang City has gradually declined.
Today's Xuchang City is located in the center of Yanzhou, and it is also the place where Wei King Cao Cao made his fortune. Therefore, the resistance here during the invasion of the demon army was particularly fierce this time.
However, it was Bai Qi, the commander of the demon army, who attacked this place. Under Bai Qi's command, hundreds of thousands of demonic troops completely surrounded the entire city of Xuchang. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, Cao's army, totaling 120,000, guarding Xuchang City was annihilated. In order to shock the world, Bai Qi ordered that all 300,000 people and captured soldiers in Xuchang City be killed!
The current Xuchang City has completely turned into a dead city. The demon army did not station its troops here, and no people fled here. Outside the city of Xuchang, a bare mountain stood alone. Even in the daytime, the wind was blowing, and the sound of ghosts crying could occasionally be heard. And in this mound, a full 400,000 soldiers and civilians who died in Xuchang City were buried.
A group of eleven men and women stood quietly in front of the huge mound and bowed deeply to the ground facing the mound. The faces of the eleven people all had expressions of sadness. The battle in Xuchang was not the battle with the most casualties since the Demon Army entered the country. But it can definitely be regarded as the most brutal battle.
In this battle. Demon Commander Bai Qi's army was stopped for the first time and stopped its rapid westward advance. This gave Cao Cao enough time to set up a line of defense in Hulao and Sishui to resist the demonic army.
It is also this battle. Breaking the myth that the demon army was invincible, it was here that Xia Houyuan, the leader of Cao's army, shot dozens of demon generals with a long bow, and almost shot Bai Qi off his horse. The demon army's vanguard was repulsed several times, resulting in heavy casualties. This forced Bai Qi to temporarily change his strategy, from advancing head-on to a double-team attack, under three consecutive days of fierce attack. Xuchang fell. General Xia Houyuan was hit by hundreds of arrows. He stood tall on the city wall with angry eyes and refused to fall! Even the extremely vicious demon army couldn't help but feel heartbroken after seeing such a heroic person like him. Xia Houyuan was specially buried next to the huge mound. According to legend, when Xia Houyuan was buried, only the arrow feathers were pulled out of Xia Houyuan's body. There are three hundred and twenty-three branches. No part of Xia Houyuan's body was intact, and the most serious injuries were deep inside his internal organs, which shocked everyone who saw him.
"General Xia Houyuan" Qin Yang was dressed in black robes and stood quietly beside a new tomb next to the mound. Although he had no interaction with Xia Houyuan in the past, at this moment, he faced the lonely tomb of this unparalleled hero. I couldn't help but have mixed feelings and was speechless.
A glass of sake is spilled and disappears into the soil in an instant. Qin Yang took out a golden eagle-feathered arrow that had been kept in his package, and gently placed it horizontally in front of Xia Houyuan's grave.
"General Xiahou, this is what Huang Zhong asked me to bring you. Both of you are known as the best marksmen in the world. General Huang Zhong said that his biggest regret in this life is that he could not use bow and arrow with you on the battlefield. A battle. Now he asked me to give this arrow to you, and asked me to tell you that the general's spirit is still alive and watching in the sky. Huang Zhong will use his arrow to kill the devil general and avenge the general! "
Speaking of this, Qin Yang's expression became even more sad. Then he took the wine pot, filled two full bowls, and drank one bowl by himself. In the other bowl, everything was sprinkled in front of the grave.
When everyone else saw this, they all looked heavy and felt sad. The demon army is raging and all life is in ruins. Under the iron hooves of the Demon Army, even famous generals like Xia Houyuan fell sadly. What a powerful opponent these people are about to face!
After mourning for a long time, Qin Yang finally raised his head and let out a long sigh. Then, he turned around, took out a piece of silk from his body, looked at Ding Feng and said: "Brother Ding Feng, I know you are not a fighter. But you have extremely high talents. This is a volume of fighting spirit training." Law. Although you and I, Qin Yang, are not on the same path, I cannot bear to see a talented general fall because he has no ability to protect himself. I will give this to you."
"What?!" Everyone was slightly startled when they saw that Qin Yang actually gave Ding Feng the skills of fighting qi cultivation after feeling sad. You know, Ding Feng is not Qin Yang's subordinate now, but a soldier of Soochow. The previous few times, whether Qin Yang gave the skills to Liao Hua, Wang Ping or Zhao Yun, it was because these people had already surrendered to Qin Yang at that time. But now, Qin Yang actually gave the skill to Ding Feng. If Ding Feng really becomes the general of the Wu army in the future
Among these people, the most excited one is naturally Ding Feng. He is just an ordinary soldier in the Wu army. If a soldier wants to become a general, he can onlyThere are two ways, one is to continuously kill enemies and make meritorious deeds in battle after battle, accumulate military merit, and climb up the ranks. Only when you reach a certain level and establish extraordinary skills can you be given the skills to practice. Another way is to have a chance encounter or be a fighter yourself. In this case, you can naturally rise in the military and rise steadily.
You must know that although there are thousands of fighters in the world, there are even more ordinary people in the world who are not fighters. If calculated according to proportion, if there can be one fighter among ten thousand people, it is already considered good. As for the strong ones who transform their fighting spirit into beasts, they are even rarer. The strong ones who are God of War are already at the peak. Even when Cao Cao was at his peak and commanded the entire north, he only had a thousand generals with the power of a fighter.
"Ding Feng would never dare to accept such a great favor from His Highness!" To everyone's surprise, Ding Feng bowed directly to Qin Yang. Although his eyes were extremely hot, his heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement. Excited. But he refused to accept Qin Yang's gift.
Qin Yang asked in surprise: "Why? Could it be that Brother Ding already has a way to cultivate fighting spirit?"
Ding Feng shook his head and said: "Ding Feng is a mortal with ordinary circumstances. How can he have the method of cultivating fighting qi? It's just because he is a soldier of Soochow in his lower body. He has sworn allegiance to the Marquis of Wu. Now if you get this method of cultivating fighting qi from your highness, When I face the Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield in the future, won¡¯t I feel guilty?¡±
Ding Feng¡¯s words are very clear, and he sees far. He knew that although there was no friction between the Yellow Turban Army and the Wu Army now, they might even join forces to fight against the Demon Army in the near future. But as soon as the demonic chaos disappears, there will be a battle between the Yellow Turban Army and the Wu Army in order to fight for the world. At this moment, he accepted Qin Yang's gift. Although you can rise to the top. But if the Yellow Turban Army fights with the Wu Army, I am afraid that the first person Wu Hou will be afraid of is himself.
Qin Yang smiled slightly and said: "Brother Ding is thinking very far, but don't forget now that we are in the land of the Demon Army. Several of my personal guards have been sent back to Jiangnan by me. Among individuals, you are the only one who cannot protect yourself."
Ding Feng's eyes were firm and he said slowly: "Your Highness, don't worry. Ding Feng followed Your Highness and the princess to the North and never thought about leaving alive. All I want in my life is to kill a few more demonic troops."
Seeing Ding Feng's attitude was firm. Qin Yang couldn't help but smile helplessly. Just when he was about to take back the silk in his hand, Sun Shangxiang, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said: "Ding Feng, what if I agree with you to accept the gift from His Highness Prince Ming?"
"Princess?" Ding Feng was startled when he heard this, but then he still shook his head and said: "Ding Feng thanks the princess for her kindness, but the soldiers of the Marquis of Wu cannot accept gifts from foreign generals. This is an iron law in the army, and I dare not violate it."
Sun Shangxiang heard this. He was also stunned for a moment. Of course she knew the military rules of the Wu army, but during this period of time, everything Ding Feng did was seen by her, and he could definitely be regarded as a talent that could be created. Even if Qin Yang does not give Ding Feng this skill now, he will ask his brother Sun Quan to promote Ding Feng once he returns to Soochow.
But now, as Qin Yang said, if Ding Feng does not practice fighting qi skills, the chance of surviving in this place ruled by the demon army will be greatly reduced. Regarding Ding Feng, Sun Shangxiang admired his talent on the one hand, but also fully affirmed his character on the other. In any case, she absolutely did not want to see Ding Feng die here. Unfortunately¡¡
Thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but take a deep look at Qin Yang, hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made a decision in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Since you take into account Wu Jun's military regulations, there is nothing you can do Ding Feng listens make!"
Hearing this, Ding Feng immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "My subordinate is here!"
Sun Shangxiang said: "Today, in the name of Princess Soochow, I will expel you from the Soochow army. From now on, you are free and no longer subject to Soochow military discipline!"
"What?!" Among the people present, not only Ding Feng, but everyone except Qin Yang couldn't help but turn pale after hearing Sun Shangxiang's decision. Dismissed from the military?! How could Sun Shangxiang do such a stupid thing? You know, Ding Feng is a real general!
"Princess, why?" Ding Feng raised his head and looked at the stern-faced Sun Shangxiang in disbelief, his voice even trembling.
"No reason, I am the princess of Soochow, and you are a soldier of Soochow. Do I need a reason to expel you?" Sun Shangxiang said coldly, his expression unchanged.
Ding Feng was stunned again, and then he understood what Sun Shangxiang meant, and couldn't help but said in a hoarse voice: "Princess, I know you want me to accept the gift from His Highness Prince Ming. But Ding Feng has been loyal to the Marquis of Wu, and for the Marquis of Wu, Ding Feng is willing to go through fire and water, and he will be ruined. Please take back his life, Princess!"
When Sun Shangxiang saw Ding Feng like this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, but said with a cold face: "Ding Feng, the order to expel you was not given by me, but by the order of the Marquis of Wu. Soochow can no longer tolerate you. Just stop talking."
Sun Shangxiang¡¯s words are not false. At firstAmong the secret messages Hongying brought her, one thing was to find an opportunity to kill Ding Feng. This was indeed Sun Quan's order. Soochow did not know about a series of things Ding Feng did in Jiangbei and did not pay attention to it. But when a large number of people who were rescued in Luchun City returned to Soochow, Ding Feng's reputation expanded rapidly.
Especially when Ding Feng and Qin Yang joined forces to fight in Luchun City, Ding Feng's name could not help but be firmly tied to the Yellow Turban Army. According to word of mouth, Ding Feng and Qin Yang are the enemies of the demon army, and the words of the world's savior have reached Jianye.
This kind of thing is something no overlord wants to see. Sun Quan understood better than anyone that Qin Yang and the Yellow Turban Army would become his enemies sooner or later. And this Ding Feng was originally just a nobody. Today's reputation is even faintly surpassing that of Wu Hou. Once Ding Feng returns alive from Jiangbei, Sun Quan will be forced to entrust Ding Feng with important tasks under pressure. But then the time comes. Ding Feng had been with Qin Yang and others for many days, and he was probably already grateful to Qin Yang, and might become a nail for Qin Yang to penetrate Soochow. And the reputation of this nail is so great that it cannot be pulled out. In this way, Sun Quan has only one choice, and that is to prevent Ding Feng from returning to Jiangnan alive!
Sun Shangxiang understands Sun Quan¡¯s purpose. In the face of world hegemony, all conspiracies and inferences are reasonable. But Sun Shangxiang really didn't want to see Ding Feng die like this. That's why she made a decisive decision at this moment. Let Ding Feng leave Wu Jun. In her opinion, Qin Yang had already wanted to recruit Ding Feng, but he just hesitated to say it because she was here.
Qin Yang took a deep look at Sun Shangxiang and sighed in his heart. How come he doesn't know Ding Feng's current situation? Now it seems that Sun Shangxiang's decision is indeed the best solution.
Thinking of this, Qin Yang walked over slowly. He gently placed the silk silk in Ding Feng's hand and said sincerely: "Brother Ding, now you are no longer a subject of Soochow. This thing is considered a gift from me. As for where you will go, whether you will join our Yellow Turban Army, I, Qin Yang, have nothing to ask for."
"This" At this moment. Ding Feng was completely confused, even though he had the ability to judge the situation and the talent of the demon army. But he knew nothing about the intrigues among the princes. At this point, he could only kneel there on one knee, lost in thought.
Finished handling Ding Feng¡¯s matter. Sun Shangxiang seemed relieved. Then he turned to Qin Yang and said, "Master, where are we going next?"
Qin Yang smiled slightly. Said: "Now most of the main force of the demon army has marched westward, and the demon commander Bai Qi, the demon general Sun Bin, and Lian Po are all under Hulao Pass. If we want to go, naturally we will go to the one with the largest and strongest demon army. place.¡±
"Your Highness, do you mean to go to Hulao Pass?" Pang Tong pondered.
Qin Yang nodded and said: "Yes, we are going to Hulao Pass. It has been more than ten days since we left southern Xinjiang, and the situation in the world must have changed drastically. Moreover, rumors have been spreading in the north recently, saying that I, Qin Yang, sneaked into Jiangbei In order to assassinate Bai Qi, this must be a rumor created by Liu Bei's men, right? But that's fine, anyway, we can't stay in the North for long. In this limited time, I really want to go and meet him. You know this for nothing. Take a look at what the Great Qin God of Killing looks like when he sweeps across the country!"
Muye was the place where King Wu fought the decisive battle against Zhou. Here, King Wu of Zhou wielded his iron hoof and fought fiercely with the Yin and Shang armies day and night. In the end, Chaoge was defeated in one fell swoop and the Great Zhou Empire was established for eight hundred years.
Thousands of years later, today¡¯s Makino has long lost its iron horse and gold. It's just a very ordinary plain land. But in the past few months, the Makino Plain has been extremely busy. Groups of short demon troops carrying banners with the word "ħ" crossed across the plain. In the west of the plain, they gathered under the Hulao Pass, known as the most powerful pass in the Han Empire, and formed a huge momentum. From the Hulao Pass Demon Army Camp, more scout cavalry were like flies, constantly shuttling back and forth throughout the entire large area east of Hulao Pass.
Facing the almost no-open search by the cavalry, Qin Yang and his party did not dare to act rashly. Only now did Sun Shangxiang understand what a wise choice it was for Qin Yang to send all five of his guards back to Jiangnan before arriving in Xuchang. Being extremely close to the Demon Army's camp, if he hadn't been a fighter, he would have been discovered by the Demon Army's scouts. By that time, no matter how powerful Qin Yang and others are, they may not be able to escape completely.
Along the way, Ding Feng has now become a fighter. Although his fighting spirit is far less powerful than Guan Hai or Sun Shangxiang, he has developed his own fighting spirit within a few days, and this speed is breathtaking. This is another reason why Qin Yang passed on the Dou Qi cultivation techniques to Ding Feng. Ding Feng is a famous general in the Three Kingdoms, with amazing potential. Before he practiced fighting spirit, he had few opponents among ordinary people. Once he practiced fighting spirit this time, he would naturally advance much faster than ordinary people.
"Your Highness, how can we sneak in with so many demonic troops?" After the three scout cavalry passed by, Guan Hai exhaled on the tree trunk and said to Qin Yang. ,
They have been here for two days. During these two days, a group of eleven people have been observing their surroundings with extreme vigilance at all times, for fear that the demon army will discover their whereabouts. But as Guan Hai said, under the high-density scout reconnaissance of the Demon Army, let alone sneaking into the military camp, even if they wanted to leave the woods and observe the Demon Army camp up close, they would not be able to do so.
Qin Yang smiled slightly, how could he not know these things? When Guan Hai asked, he couldn't help but look back at Xiao Qiao who was not far behind him, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Qiao, how is the situation?"
Xiao Qiao smiled slightly, with a look of pride on her pretty face and said, "It's almost done, I can already feel Qingluan's breath now."
"Fuck Lingli!" Just a moment after the two of them finished speaking, a blue luan bird with blue feathers flew across the sky in the distance, flapped its wings and landed on Xiao Qiao's shoulder.
Xiao Qiao hurriedly reached out and took off a small bag of tips from Qingluanniao's leg, then handed it directly to Qin Yang and said, "Look, my Xiaoqing is not slow."
Qin Yang smiled and nodded, rubbing Xiao Qiao's head lovingly with his other hand, then took the kit and started looking at it.
Guan Hai was a little confused by Qin Yang's actions. He couldn't help scratching his head and asked: "Your Highness, what is going on?"
Qin Yang didn't say anything, he just took out a small piece of silk from his brocade bag and looked at it carefully. After reading it, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
At this moment, the attention of the rest of the people was also attracted by Qin Yang, and they all turned their attention to Qin Yang. Until this moment, Qin Yang smiled and said lightly: "Three things. The first one is that Boss Wei has asked his men to take action. The Huangdao Army of our Yellow Turban Army has sneaked into Jiangbei and has now successfully destroyed The blood demon flags in the two cities."
"That's great!" Everyone was immediately refreshed after hearing this. The Boss Wei that Qin Yang mentioned was naturally referring to the Huang Daojun who was responsible for espionage under Wei Yan. Ever since Qin Yang learned that the demon army was building the blood demon flag with people's life blood, he had ordered Wei Yan to take action. In fact, the five personal guards under his command did not return to Jiangnan, but were arranged to join the Yellow Dao Army.
Qin Yang continued: "The second thing is that Xichuan has been recovered. Xi Zhicai and Yan Yan led the Xichuan army, joined forces with Guo Jia, and have already entered Hanzhong! As for the third thing"
Qin Yang's eyes fell on Sun Shangxiang, who was listening attentively not far away. He hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "According to the intelligence, the Demon Lord has sent Demon General Han Xin as commander, leading nearly a million demon troops. He will be here soon." Will land in the Central Plains. The landing place they chose is in Songjiang" (To be continued.
