Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As he was talking, he saw a large number of troops approaching slowly from a distance. A Qiang general galloped ahead, with thousands of cavalry behind him in a long line.

    After Xu Shu looked at it, he said to Xia Houyuan: "He is a brave general from the Western Qiang King's tent. He is called Mi Dang. This man is accustomed to using crossbows, spears, knives, caltrops, flying hammers and other weapons. I heard that he has the courage of thousands of people."  ¡±

    Xia Houyuan looked from a distance, but saw Mi Dang holding a hammer in his hand and a precious carved bow hanging from his waist. He was tall and strong and looked very powerful. The cavalry behind Mi Dang were also strong and coming here quickly.

    "In the past, we helped Zhongcun Qiang unify the Qiang tribes, and Cheliji, the king of Zhongcunqiang, became the first king of the Xiqiang in history. Cheliji should be grateful. This time he led an army of 200,000 to help in the war.  , Xiqiang's strength is amazing, why can't Liangzhou be pacified?" Xia Houyuan said happily.

    While talking, Mi Dang had already arrived at the city gate. The cavalry were lined up behind him. Everyone was wrapped in a coat made of sheepskin. Even in this weather, they would not feel cold.

    "Play music!" Xia Houyuan shouted loudly.

    The drummers who had been waiting on the tower began to play and played beautiful music.

    Mi Dang turned over and dismounted. When he heard the harsh sound, he said: "Stop, what kind of bird sound is this? Is it so unpleasant?"

    After hearing this, Xia Houyuan frowned and immediately ordered to stop playing and asked: "Is it unpleasant?"

    Mi Dang nodded, looked at Xia Houyuan, clasped his fists and said, "You must be Xia Houyuan, the general of the Wei Kingdom who suppresses the west?"

    Xia Houyuan was not angry when he was called by his first name, and a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face.

    Seeing this, Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Marshal Mi Dang, this is General Xiahou who made the enemy frightened. He once led a partial army to conquer all countries in the Western Regions"

    "Oh, I know, he's the long-legged general in Wei who is known as the fastest runner!"

    "It's General Shenxing!" Xia Houyuan looked gloomy.  Waiting for a while, he said angrily.

    Mi should hold her arms.  Standing there, with a look of contempt in his eyes, he sneered and said: "Whoever you are, general, are you still defeated by the Chinese army? I guess you are alive today just because you run fast, right?"

    "you¡­¡­"

    Seeing that Xia Houyuan was about to get angry, Xu Shu hurriedly grabbed Xia Houyuan and said, "We are all our own people. There is no need to go to war over trivial matters. I am a marshal. I wonder when King Qiang will arrive with his army?"

    "Oh, you also know that all of us, the Qiang people, are soldiers. However, due to the freezing weather, it is not suitable to send out troops. Moreover, the snow on the ground is quite deep. We have to wait until the snow melts and this is an auspicious day before we can go out."

    "What? Cheligian dares to go back on his word?" Xia Houyuan said angrily.

    Mi Dang glanced at Xia Houyuan.  He sneered and said: "Repent? If I really regretted it, I wouldn't have come. Since I sent someone to inform you, it means that our king will definitely go out. It's just that the snow is so deep now. It's not suitable for the iron chariot soldiers to walk, so they can only wait until winter  I think we¡¯ll have to wait until March after the snow melts.¡±

    "March? Are you fucking kidding me?" Xia Houyuan became even more angry. With a hot temper, he immediately pulled out the sword from his waist.

    Mi Dang was on guard and jumped back. A group of Qiang people immediately surrounded him tightly. The Qiang soldiers immediately drew their weapons, and the guards on Xia Houyuan's side also showed their weapons.  The two groups of people were at loggerheads and facing each other tit for tat.

    Xu Shu saw this.  He said hurriedly: "Put it all down! Put it down! We are all our own people, why should we use knives or guns to hurt the harmony?"

    Cheng Yu stood beside Xia Houyuan.  He also hurriedly whispered comfort: "General, if you can bear it, bear it. If you bear the temporary discomfort, you will gain the whole Liangzhou. Besides, we still need the strength of the Qiang people and we cannot fall out with them."

    Xia Houyuan returned the sword to its sheath and asked angrily: "Since King Qiang has made a decision, we have nothing to say. Let's wait until the winter snow melts and the spring flowers bloom, and then we can work together to repel the Chinese army."

    So, both groups of people put away their weapons.  Mi Dang smiled and said: "In that case, then I will bother General Xiahou."

    "Nao Nuo? You want to stay here?" Xia Houyuan asked in surprise.

    "Of course, I was sent by the king, and I am considered the front line. I may not have said it clearly just now. Within a month, 150,000 troops will arrive here one after another, but our king just asked us to station here to defend the Wei army, and  We are not allowed to go on an expedition. The day of the actual expedition will have to wait until the winter snow melts. As soon as our king arrives with his iron chariot troops, we will immediately attack the Chinese army and recover the lost territory for you, the Wei Dynasty. "

    Xia Houyuan didn't care much about Midang's answer. What does substitution mean? It seems that they have reached the end of their rope and are unable to turn back.It¡¯s time to regain lost ground.  Although I felt unhappy, I endured it.  He didn't want to see Midang's face again, so he turned around and entered the city, saying: "Let the Qiang friends live in the west of the city, and everyone else will retreat to the east of the city."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Houyuan entered the city with his guards, while Xu Shu and Cheng Yu were responsible for arranging for Midang and others to enter the city.

    Once things were settled here, after Midang and others settled down, Midang sent people out of the city and went back to report the news to Cheriji.  He himself led a team of personal followers and ran back and forth in the city, but his eyes were always focused on the Wei army's combat readiness, military strength, garrison situation, and food and grass, etc., to estimate how much fighting power the Wei army still had.

    Xu Shu found that Mi Dang was wandering around the city with nothing to do all day long, so he kept an extra eye on it. Later that night, he went to discuss with Cheng Yu.

    The two people gathered together, and Xu Shu told Cheng Yu what he had seen during the day.  After hearing this, Cheng Yu was shocked and asked: "Yuan Zhi Mi Dang is doing this, is he peeking at our army's combat power?"

    Xu Shu said: "I also have this guess. A few days ago, King Qiang sent someone to say that he would personally lead an army of 200,000 people within ten days, but now he only asked Mi Dang to come with 3,000 cavalry, and Mi Dang came with 3,000 cavalry.  But you are spying on our troops in the city, which makes people suspicious. "

    "Your Majesty led the army far away in Bashu, and Chang'an was also captured. Qinzhou and Liangzhou are the only places where there is still a trace of our Wei army. If the Qiang people take this opportunity to break up with us, I'm afraid we will die without a burial place.  "Cheng Yu is also a man of foresight. When Cao Cao seized power before, he sent him to Liangzhou to take charge and lure the surrounding Han and Qiang people to serve Cao Cao. It can be said that he was a great reward for his hard work.

    Xu Shu listened.  He frowned, held his chin and said, "I'm afraid, it's much more than that"

    "Yuan Zhi. What do you mean by this?" Cheng Yu asked hurriedly.

    "I'm afraid that the Qiang King's army has already arrived, but they didn't come together. First, they sent fans to test our strength. From my guess, the Qiang King doesn't just want to break up with us, but wants to use his own power.  , expel the Chinese army, and then seize the entire Liangzhou. Of course, we are the first army to bear the brunt. Mi Dang is spying on the strength of our army in the city today, probably to estimate how much combat power our army still has.  The Qiang kings fought side by side.¡±

    "You are saying that the Qiang people want to join forces with us to fight the enemy first, and then they will kill the donkeys after expelling the Chinese army?"

    "Well, that should be it."

    "No, we have to inform General Xiahou immediately and kill Mi Dang that guy." Cheng Yu said.

    "No, with General Xiahou's temper, if Mi Dang is really killed, then our army will really be in catastrophe." Xu Shu said.

    "Then what do you mean"

    "Follow the plan. With the current combat effectiveness of our army, we are definitely a good helper for the Qiang people. Now the Qiang King dare not touch us. Even if the Qiang people come to gnaw the army of 2,900 people in person, he will not have more than a month to gnaw.  No. Don't talk to General Xiahou about this first. Let's let it go for now. If nothing happens, all the Qiang troops will arrive tomorrow and the war will begin against the Chinese army. As long as our army uses less force, let the Qiang army rush to kill them.  Can."

    ¡°Okay then, let¡¯s do it like this.¡±

    "Yes. Only you and I know about this matter. Heaven knows and the earth knows. When the time is right, I will tell General Xiahou."

    "Yuan Zhi. Don't worry."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In a valley fifty miles away from Longxi County, Qiang King Cheliji received the news from Midang, so he gathered all the leaders of his subordinates and said: "Midang has found out the truth and the Wei army is still strong. We must not  Underestimating the enemy, it seems that as long as we join forces with them first, we will defeat the Chinese army and then kill them. Send the order, and the whole army will set off early tomorrow morning and go straight to Longxi County. "

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    On the other hand, Zhang Xiuzheng led 10,000 soldiers and horses to march hard from Wudu to Longxi. When they reached a valley, he ordered his men to set up camp.

    After nightfall, a primary school student came in and told Zhang Xiu that an old friend came to see him.  Zhang Xiu was suspicious and asked someone to bring him in.  But I saw that the person who came was wearing a black cloak. The cloak covered his face, so he couldn't see the person's face clearly at night.

    Zhang Xiu stared at it and asked, "Who are you?"

    The visitor lifted up his cloak, revealing a handsome face, with a face like a crown of jade and eyes like shooting stars. He was looking at a handsome man, but his face was ashen and his eyes were deep, looking like he had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

    When Zhang Xiu saw this person, he was immediately startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground and worshiped: "His Royal Highness"

    The person who came was none other than Ma Chao. When he saw Zhang Xiu kneeling on the ground and calling him "His Royal Highness," he sneered and said indifferently to Zhang Xiu.He said quietly: "Get up. I am no longer the prince of Qin in the past. Now I am the right cavalry general and Yihou of Huaxia."

    Zhang Xiu stood up and asked Ma Chao to sit down. After all, he was Ma Chao's old subordinate and had no hostility towards Ma Chao. He was forced to surrender to Cao Cao back then.  Moreover, Zhang Xiu was not very satisfied with his life during the few years after surrendering to Wei.  Cao Cao offered him high-ranking officials and titles, but Zhang Xiu declined them politely. Feeling guilty, he guarded Wudu County.

    Later, I heard that Ma Chao was in Lingzhou. Perhaps out of security reasons, Cao Cao sent people to Wudu to monitor Zhang Xiu, fearing that he would contact Ma Chao and rebel.  Zhang Xiujie kept his peace, and except for some correspondence with Suo Xu, he never interacted with anyone else, so in the past five years, he had been walking on thin ice.

    Today, when I suddenly saw my old master, I felt sad and sad, and I felt shameless to face Ma Chao.

    "You must have heard about Chang'an City, right?" Ma Chao took the hot tea from Zhang Xiu, held it in his hand to warm his cold hands, and asked lightly.

    Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, I heard about it. The Chinese army's rapid attack was staggering. It only took one day to capture Chang'an City, and it only took half a month to capture the entire Qinzhou.  The speed is really amazing, His Royal Highness"

    "Please call me General Ma!" Ma Chao took a sip of hot tea, put the tea cup aside, sat by the campfire and stretched out his hands to warm his hands.

    "MaGeneral Mait's so awkward to call him that"

    "You get used to it if you yell too much. General Zhang, you must have heard about the fact that I killed Chen Qun, Yang Xiu, Cao Zhen, Liu Ye, and Man Chong, right?"

    Zhang Xiu¡¯s mentality was very peaceful.  Sitting by the campfire, he nodded and looked at Ma Chao's stern face.  He smiled slightly and said: "I heard it. General Ma is here to take my head, right? I had expected such a day. In the past few years, I have been blaming myself. If I would rather  If you don't surrender and defend the city, you will be unparalleled in loyalty, but now IGeneral Ma, my head is here, you can take it to pay tribute to the deceased emperor."

    Ma Chao raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhang Xiu, and asked, "Are you really willing to sacrifice your head?"

    "As long as General Ma is willing, I can take it anytime"

    "Whoops!"

    Ma Chao directly pulled out the steel sword from his waist, placed the cold blade on Zhang Xiu's neck, and asked: "If I give you another chance, will you still be willing to follow me?"

    "If there is such an opportunity, Zhang Xiu will beg for it." As he said that, Zhang Xiu closed his eyes, pulled his neck and killed.

    "Whoops!"

    Ma Chao swung his sword and cut off the helmet on Zhang Xiu's head.  After putting the sword into its scabbard, he said to Zhang Xiu: "I have already paid homage to my father's soul, so what's the use of asking for your head? Why don't I just keep it on your neck and keep it for future crimes and meritorious deeds."

    Zhang Xiu opened his eyes and saw that Ma Chao had returned to his original position, and asked suspiciously: "General, you won't kill me?"

    "Since you are not afraid of death, what's the point of killing you? If you really feel guilty for me, then lead your subordinates to surrender to our Chinese army. In the past few years in the Chinese Kingdom, I have seen what  To be truly powerful, I feel a bit ridiculous when I think back to the time when I was an enemy of China. I thought it was because I was too young and energetic, and I thought that no one in the world was as good as me.  I found that what I did back then was extremely childish.¡±

    Zhang Xiu saw Ma Chao's expression when he spoke.  The expression on Ma Chao's face fluctuated greatly.  You can probably understand that Ma Chao is no longer the prince of Qin back then. His arrogance and arrogance no longer exist, but he has become much more mature.

    Ma Chao paused and continued: "If I had not been an enemy of the Huaxia Kingdom at that time, but invited the emperor with my father to assist the Han Emperor, with the strength of the two families alone, perhaps the princes from all over the country would have been pacified, and the Han Dynasty might still have  With the joint efforts of the two, my family, the Ma family, will surely prosper. Unfortunately, I was too ignorant at the time and only knew how to fight and kill, so even if I became the prince, I would not be able to do so.  The people's hearts are unstable. I regret even more why I listened to Cao Cao's lies and took him to Guanzhong, which turned out to be a source of trouble Alas!

    Hearing Ma Chao's sigh, Zhang Xiu also felt melancholy.  He immediately knelt in front of Ma Chao, kowtowed to Ma Chao and said: "General, Zhang Xiu is willing to submit to the general again and let the general drive him. From now on, he is willing to serve as the front soldier of the horse, going up the mountain of knives and into the sea of ??fire. Zhang Xiu is also willing to do so."

    Ma Chao hurriedly helped Zhang Xiu up, looked at Zhang Xiu affectionately, and said, "Great, now is the time for us to make great achievements. Mr. Cao CaoHe has a grudge against me for killing my father. If I don't avenge this grudge, I swear that I will not be a human being. Now that I have become a general, I am really lucky to have Ma Chao.  From now on, I am willing to treat the general as a brother, the general is a brother, and I am a brother, and we will work together to put down the remnants of the Wei army in Liangzhou.  Once the northwest is pacified, they can attack Yizhou and completely kill the old traitor Cao Cao.  "

    Seeing that Ma Chao wanted to make him a brother of the opposite sex, Zhang Xiu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, how dare I call the general a brother?"

    "Could it be that you look down on me?" Ma Chao asked.

    ¡°No, no, no¡­it¡¯s just that I come from a humble background¡­¡±

    "Heroes should not ask where they come from. Today there are only brothers, no distinction between high and low. I am still young, you are the brother and I am the brother. From now on, we brothers will share the glory and wealth and make achievements together!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao pulled Zhang Xiu to sworn sworn vows, knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and shouted: "The emperor and the sky are above, and the earth is below. Today, you Fufeng, Ma Chao, and Wuwei Zhang Xiu are brothers of different surnames. From now on, we will treat each other with sincerity and share the blessings of each other."  , I will be in trouble"

    "General, I'm wrong. We share blessings and share hardships." Zhang Xiu hurriedly corrected him.

    "No! I was right, we enjoy the blessings together, and I bear the difficulties alone"

    "No, no, no! We share the blessings and share the hardships. Otherwise, what kind of friendship would we have?" Zhang Xiu's face was startled.  Deeply moved by Ma Chao, he immediately kowtowed to heaven and earth and shouted loudly: "The emperor and the sky are above. The thick soil is below. Today there is Wuwei Zhangxiu"

    "Right Fufeng Ma Chao"

    "We are brothers with different surnames. From now on, we will share our blessings and misfortune. If we violate this oath, we are willing to bear the pain of five thunderbolts from heaven." Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu shouted together.

    After the shouting, the two people made a blood alliance on the spot, dripped blood into the wine, and then exchanged blood with each other.  Drink at the same time.

    After finishing the drink, Ma Chao bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Little brother pays homage to eldest brother"

    Zhang Xiu hurriedly helped Ma Chao up and said, "Brothers, there is no need to be polite. Mentally, just treat me as your eldest brother. There is no need to shout out in front of others. After all, you were once my master"

    "As long as we have brothers in our hearts, that's enough. If you have anything to say, just say it face to face. Let's not have overnight grudges. Let's truly share the blessings and share the hardships." Ma Chao said.

    Zhang Xiu nodded and said immediately: "General, are you here alone?"

    "Well. I heard that you were going to Longxi, so I waited for you here specially. It just so happened that I was going to Longxi too. Since you have decided to submit to our Huaxia Kingdom, such a submission seems too ordinary. If you can behead Xia Houyuan  , that would be perfect.¡±

    Zhang Xiu said: "I understand what you mean, don't worry. My trip to Longxi this time is exactly Xia Houyuan's order, and this matter is all my responsibility. In the past few years, I have summoned many people to monitor me in Wudu County.  Loyal general, please wait here. I will call them in and introduce them to you one by one."

    ? said.  Zhang Xiu walked out of the tent and shouted to a soldier outside the door: "Let the generals come to the tent to discuss matters."

    Not long after, Ma Chao saw several people coming from outside, including a scribe and four generals.  As soon as the five people entered the tent, they bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Meet the general."

    Zhang Xiu said: "I will introduce someone to you. This is General Shenwei Tian"

    "General Shenwei Tian" After hearing this, the five people who came to the big tent looked at Ma Chao with envious eyes. Then, the five people worshiped in unison: "We will pay homage to General Tian."

    "Who are these?" Ma Chao asked.

    Zhang Xiu introduced them one by one, starting from the scribes, and said in turn: "This is Zhang Ji, courtesy name Derong, from Gaoling, Qinzhou. These are my fierce generals, in order: Qu Yan, Jiang Shi, He Luan,  Guanqiu Xing. In the past five years, I have been secretly recruiting talented people in Wudu, and I have promoted these people, and this trip to Longxi comes in handy. "

    After saying that, Zhang Xiu turned to Zhang Ji, Qu Yan, Jiang Shi, He Luan, and Guan Qiuxing and said, "Listen to me. From today on, I will officially surrender to the Huaxia Kingdom. Are you all willing to accompany me?"

    "We are all willing to listen to the general's orders!" Zhang Ji, Qu Yan, Jiang Shi, He Luan, and Guan Qiuxing replied in unison.

    Ma Chao felt extremely emotional when he saw that Zhang Xiu had begun to prepare a scale.  As the saying goes, a slap can't make a difference. Although Wang Shuang has always been by his side, he has never had real power and cannot control many soldiers and horses. Therefore, he can only be regarded as a second-rate military general in China, and has not yet become a first-rate and meritorious general.  Opportunities are few.

    This time, he successfully persuaded Zhang Xiu to come and surrender, and he could use Zhang Xiu to make a big fuss. Once he killed Xia Houyuan, he would have done a great job. Then he would have room to speak in the Huaxia Kingdom, and he could lead the army.  Attack Shu and conquer??Cao Cao is an old thief.

    At that moment, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and others made a plan. Zhang Ji, a scholar in Zhang Xiu's account, was also a talented person, so he offered advice to Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu. After everyone formulated a strategy, Ma Chao rested overnight at Zhang Xiu's place, and the next day  He started heading towards Hanyang County early in the morning, and Zhang Xiu also continued to march towards Longxi under the banner of the Wei army.

    In the cold morning, Xia Houyuan was still sleeping on the bed, warmly under the quilt. Suddenly he heard a rapid knock on the door outside, and he opened his hazy eyes and asked: "Who is it? Knocking desperately?"  Knock on what?¡±

    "General, this is King Qiang King Qiang is coming with a large army. There are countless people all over the mountains and plains"

    As soon as Xia Houyuan heard this, he immediately rolled up from the bed, got dressed as quickly as possible, opened the door immediately, and asked, "What did you just say?"

    "The Qiang King came with his army, covering the mountains and plains, probably hundreds of thousands of people"

    "Damn it, didn't you say yesterday that we would wait until spring to fight again? Why did the army arrive in just one day and night? What is his grandma doing to me?" Xia Houyuan said angrily.

    Qi returned to Qi, but Xia Houyuan still felt very happy about the arrival of King Qiang with his army.  This means that the day when he will regain Liangzhou is not far away, not just Liangzhou.  And Qinzhou, how could it be lost?  How can he get it back?

    Xia Houyuan came to the city gate. As soon as he opened the city gate, he saw Qiang people in the vast white snowfield, all over the mountains and plains. Mi Dang was leading a richly dressed and burly strong man into the city, surrounded by more than ten Qiang people.  The leader, everyone¡¯s face looked sinister.  There is always an indescribable look in his eyes.

    "The person who came here is not a good person" Xia Houyuan glanced at the people surrounded by people. He had never seen the Qiang King Cheliji, but looking at the man's demeanor, he could be sure that this person was Cheliji.

    Cheriji was wearing a fox fur, with a sinewy face, and more than a dozen pigtails on his head. The pigtails were shaved and polished, looking like wheat grown in the fields, one by one.

    Mi Dang led the way in front of Cheliji. He was tall and stood in front of Cheliji.  He also had to be humble, and Cheriji was surrounded by five strong men, all of whom were nine feet tall.  The waist is ten girth larger and looks extremely majestic.

    While Xiahouyuan was looking at Cheliji and others, Midang had already introduced Cheliji and others into the city. Seeing Xiahouyuan standing there, Midang said to Cheliji: "Your Majesty, in front of you is Xiahouyuan, the general of the Wei Dynasty who suppresses the west.  "

    "Oh" Cheriji glanced at Xia Houyuan with sharp eyes, and saw that Xia Houyuan was wearing a smart outfit, he was very strong and very tall.  He looked somewhat mighty, "As expected of General Shenxing. He is quite capable of being mighty."

    After meeting each other twice, Mi Dang took the initiative to act as an introducer.  He said to Xia Houyuan: "General Long-Legs, this is our king. Today the king is coming with an army of 200,000 to help you capture Liangzhou."

    Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth in hatred towards Midang and gouged out Midang with his eyes, but Midang continued to smile like a normal person and said to Cheriji: "Your Majesty, this is the famous long-legged general.  , the fastest one, what's the name? Oh, it seems to say five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days, the fastest one in retreat"

    "I'll kill you!" As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. After hearing Mi Dang's sarcasm, Xia Houyuan immediately pulled out his sword and showed it in front of everyone.

    "Whoops!"

    At this moment, several people around Cheliji all pulled out the scimitars they were wearing and flashed them in front of Xia Houyuan.

    "Protect the general!" A captain behind Xiahou Yuan immediately shouted. The Wei army immediately gathered from all directions in the city. The archers drew their bows and arrows, and the shield soldiers pulled Xia Houyuan to block the shield in front. The cavalry also  After all, all the Wei troops were in a state of emergency preparation.

    The Qiang people did not show weakness and immediately blew their horns. There was a commotion outside, thousands of horses galloping, and the ground trembled. An army of 200,000 people marched forward together, surrounding Didao, the Longxi county town.

    The two sides were at war with each other, but Cheriji was not moved at all in the face of such changes.

    At this moment, the shouts of the Qiang people could be heard overwhelmingly. All the Qiang people shouted loudly at almost the same time: "Will the king kill Will the king kill Will the king kill"

    The shouts were like bursts of thunder, resounding throughout the sky. The less than 30,000 Wei troops in Didao City couldn't help but feel frightened when they heard the powerful shouts.  Every soldier in the Wei army murmured and thought secretly: "If they really start fighting with the Qiang people, they will definitely be wiped out."?¡±

    Xia Houyuan's face twitched, and his facial muscles began to stiffen. He still held the sword and stood there blankly, looking at Cheriji's deep eyes with a strange light, and the livid face was calm.  Even though there were more than a thousand archers in the city aiming at him, Cheriji remained unmoved. This courage and courage were enough to explain everything. This guy is definitely not an ordinary person.

    Cheriji's eyes were sharp and he was still staring at Xiahou Yuan closely. Suddenly a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said to his subordinates: "Put away your weapons. General Xiahou is joking with us. Are you serious about it?"

    Mi Dang turned back and blew a whistle. After the whistle sounded, the whimpering horn sounded again outside, melodious and far-reaching, spreading in all directions.  In just an instant, 200,000 Qiang people retreated together.

    At the same time, the people surrounding Cheriji in the city also put away their weapons.

    Xia Houyuan felt insects crawling on his back, extending downward from his spine, and he actually broke out in a cold sweat.  This Cheriji is indeed not simple.

    He quickly inserted the sword into the scabbard.  The order was given: "The entire army is off alert, it was a misunderstanding!"

    At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Wei army put away their weapons one after another.  Everyone was relieved in their hearts, if the war really started.  I'm afraid they will become the target of public criticism among the 200,000 Qiang people.

    Xu Shu and Cheng Yu hurriedly squeezed out from the crowd. Both of them heard the shouts that resounded throughout the world, which was breathtaking.  At this time, they saw Cheriji and Xia Houyuan facing each other tit for tat. There was no smile on their faces. When their eyes met, there was even more sparks of hostility.

    "Ouch isn't this King Cheliji? What wind brought you here" Xu Shu used his sharp tongue to lobby various Qiang tribes to support Cao Cao, and even became Cheliji's guest.  Very familiar with Cheriji.  He knew the habits of the Qiang people well, so he walked towards Cheriji with a smile and said with a smile as he walked.

    When Cheriji saw Xu Shu, his tense expressionless face suddenly revealed a smile, he took a step forward and said, "It turns out Master Xu is here, we haven't seen each other for some time, right?  "

    "Isn't that right? Since I said goodbye to the king last time, I've been doing some calculations" Xu Shu pretended to be pretentious and counted with his fingers.  "We haven't seen each other for almost two years, right?"

    "Master Xu, you have a really bad memory. It's obviously been three years!"

    "Is it three years?"

    "It was three years. I remember it really"

    "Oh, it is indeed three years" Xu Shu calculated it again and said with a smile, "Didn't the king say he would come back after spring? Why did he come so soon?"

    "I learned that Mr. Xu was here, so I came to support him non-stop. Mr. Xu, am I qualified as a friend?"

    "The king is not qualified. Then who else is qualified?"

    "Hahaha" Cheriji and Xu Shu started talking about things as soon as they met.  To outsiders, the two seemed very close, like brothers who had not seen each other for a long time.  Even closer than brothers, this moment of free conversation actually broke the tense atmosphere just now.

    When Xia Houyuan saw this scene, he moved back a little and said to Cheng Yu: "Yuan Zhi and Cheriji seem to be very familiar, don't they?"

    "It should be so. It looks very familiar. It seems that the person who persuaded Zhong Cunqiang to be loyal to His Majesty was Xu Yuanzhi. The two of them are old acquaintances" Cheng Yu whispered in Xia Houyuan's ear.

    "No wonder"

    Xu Shu grabbed Cheriji¡¯s hand, pulled it in front of Xia Houyuan, and said: "Your Majesty, let me introduce to you, this is"

    "General Xia Houyuan of Zhenxi, known as General Shenxing, is the most famous general in the Wei Kingdom. How could I not know this?" Cheriji said to Xu Shu with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

    "Haha, it turns out that the king knows each other, so it will be easier. King, let's not stand here. Please go in and sit down together." Xu Shu said.

    Cheriji nodded, turned around, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and said coldly: "Hungry He, Shao Ge, Fa Tong, Mo Zhe Zhao, and Zhi Wudai, the five of you will take charge of your respective subordinates.  Just let your subordinates run wild, cut down some trees on the spot, and set up camp.¡±

    After hearing this, the five people who had been surrounding Cheliji, including Xinghe, Shaoge, Fatong, Mozheza, and Zhiwudai, just nodded and turned around to leave. Before leaving, they looked at the eyes of Xia Houyuan and others.  There was also a hint of cold murderous intent.

    At this time, Midang walked forward to Cheriji and said: "Your Majesty."

    "Well, Mi Dang, you can just follow me into the city. Master Xu will hold a banquet for you."We can't offend Mr. Xu, right?  "Cheriji glanced at Mi Dang with dark eyes, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

    "Understood." Mi Dang said.

    Xu Shu has always understood that Cheliji is different from any previous Qiang king of the Xiqiang tribe. This man knows how to hide his strength.  Under his leadership, Zhong Cunqiang has never had a war in more than ten years, and has never participated in any Qiang battles. It can be regarded as a pure land among the Qiang people.

    However, when Xu Shu went to Zhong Cunqiang in person, he discovered that Zhong Cunqiang actually had the ability to conquer various Qiang tribes with force. However, for some reason, Qiang King Cheliji never had the intention to start a war.  It was not until he went there that he used his sharp tongue to persuade Cheliji to support Cao Cao in exchange for helping Cheliji become king of Xiqiang, and then he got Cheliji's help.

    However, it now seems that what Xu Shu did at the time was wrong. He helped Cheriji's arrogance, and Cheriji has always been ambitious. The reason why he has not launched a war is actually waiting for an opportunity.  Now that the opportunity has come, Cheriji, a unique lone wolf, may do something incredible.

    Xu Shu looked at Cheriji's figure and thought secretly in his heart: "What should come will always come. A sleeping wild wolf finally can't stand hunger and is ready to eat people. However, Wei Jun will never become this wild wolf."  Instead, Wei Jun should become the master of this wolf. Are you ready to satisfy this greedy wild wolf?"

    Cheliji was welcomed into the hall of the prefect's mansion, where he drank and chatted with Xia Houyuan, Xu Shu and others. After chatting for a while, they began to eat meat and drink wine.  After drinking and eating, Xu Shu arranged for Cheliji to stay in the prefect's mansion before leaving.

    After Xu Shu left, Cheriji sat on the edge of the bed, looking thoughtful.

    Seeing this, Mi Dang said: "Your Majesty, today at the gate of the city, with the strength of our army, it is easy to massacre the Wei army in the city. Why doesn't your Majesty kill?"

    Cheriji raised his eyelids and glanced at Midang, and said with a smile: "The Wei army is still strong. It would be too early to fall out with them at this time. Even if we capture this city, our army will suffer a lot. It will be a big blow to us."  He said that the city is simply something external to the body, and that is the key to being able to hold the entire Liangzhou firmly in his hands. "

    "Then what the king means is"

    "First, let the Wei army join forces to fight the enemy, and use the power of the Huaxia army to weaken the Wei army. It is best if the Huaxia army can defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop. In this way, we can reap the benefits, then use our own strength to defeat the Huaxia army and drive the Huaxia army away.  Leaving Liangzhou." When Cheriji said this, he was impassioned and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

    With eyes like a falcon and greed like a wolf, after so many years of hiding, it¡¯s time to break out.

    "Your Majesty is wise!" Mi Dang praised.

    "You go and notify the other commanders and tell them not to have any more friction with Wei Jun. What happened this morning must have had an impact on Wei Jun's mind. In addition, urge the iron chariot soldiers to speed up their march. We will not be here in three days."  , ask them all!" Cheriji said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty." Mi Dang was excellent in martial arts, but when he met Cheriji, he still felt there were some shortcomings.  Back then, he competed with Cheliji for the position of Zhongcun Qiang King. Now he has completely surrendered to Cheliji. Although this man does not have pure Qiang blood, he is an out-and-out tyrant.  At least, that's what Mi Dang thinks.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Zhang Xiu was on the march when he saw a scout coming in front and asked, "How is the situation ahead?"

    "There were 200,000 Qiang people. Chen soldiers set up five large camps outside Didao City. Inside each large camp, they set up 20 small camps with 2,000 people in each small camp to surround Didao City.  The water is blocked, and it has completely played the role of defending Didao City," the scout reported.

    Zhang Xiu frowned, gathered Zhang Ji, Qu Yan, Jiang Shi, He Luan, and Guan Qiuxing around him, and said: "The situation has changed. The Qiang army of 200,000 people is entrenched in Didao to defend Longxi.  , I'm afraid the original plan will have to be changed. Jiang Shi, please go to Hanyang County in person to see General Shenweitian and tell him that the plan has changed. I will hide in the Wei camp until the critical moment.  , take action again.¡±

    "No!"

    "Everyone else, come with me and go to Didao together."

    "Promise!" (To be continued)
