Chapter 614: Dark Night Attack

In the third year of Zhongping (186 AD), November 20th.

The peaceful land reform in Nanyang is still in full swing, but Qin Hao, as the prefect of Nanyang, was preparing to leave Wancheng at this time and go to Chang'an to marry Liu Mu, the Wannian Princess.

Qin Hao also wanted to wait until Nanyang was completely stable, but Chang'an had issued three consecutive imperial edicts to invite him to the court to marry, so he could only put down all the things at hand for the time being and get the marriage together first.

"After this marquis left, the political affairs of Nanyang should be dominated by Wang Meng, Xun Yu and Han Fei, Liu Ji and Liu Ye as the assistant."

Qin Hao looked at the ministers with a serious look and continued: "The military is mainly Qin Zheng, Bai Qi, Zhang Liao and Yue Fei."

"We obey our orders." Everyone responded.

"Li Cunxiao, this marquis hopes that after he returns, the Flying Tiger Army has been formed."

"It will never disappoint the lord's expectations."

...

After explaining everything, Qin Hao finally could leave with confidence. In fact, even if he didn't say much, Nanyang would never be in chaos.

There are so many good ministers and powerful generals guarding each other, and there are also many famous generals and talents from famous generals. The current problems in Nanyang are not a problem for the ministers.

Wancheng is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, but there are only two roads to go.

First, go north to Luoyang, then go west to Hangu Pass, and go to Chang'an.

The second is to go to Wuguan in the northwest direction, and after passing more than a dozen counties, we went directly to Chang'an.

Qin Hao chose the Wuguan Road, which is relatively close but very rugged.

Although the scale of bandits along the way was not large, Qin Hao still brought five hundred guards just in case.

After several days of travel, the party finally arrived at Wuguan, and the Wuguan Guard Yuan Yi also grandly entertained Qin Hao.

Yuan Yi, whose courtesy name is Boye, was from Ruyang, Runan, and his cousin of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Yuan Yi in the original history served as the prefect of Shanyang and also participated in the expedition to the Dong Zhuo Alliance. He was one of the eighteen princes.

Yuan Yi in this life also made great contributions in the Yellow Turban War, but it was not enough to be granted the title of prefect, so he was named the General of Wuguan.

The next morning, Qin Hao did not stop for much and led the troops away directly, while Yuan Yi, who was standing on the city tower, showed a strange smile.

"Qin Hao, you are destined to be in Chang'an."

Yuan Yi's eyes showed murderous aura and said coldly: "Nanyang belongs to my Yuan family!"

—————

From Wuguan to Chang'an, the mountains and rivers along the way are continuous and the roads are rugged, which are all dangerous places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

So even if you conquer Wu Pass, if you want to go directly to Chang'an, you still need to overcome several more dangerous cities, which shows the danger of the Guanzhong area.

Late at night, Qin Hao's troops did not arrive at the next county town, so they directly built camps and camps, which is very common in daily marching.

But just a few miles away from the camp, several bandits dressed in bandits were quietly attacking Qin Hao's camp.

After several secret whistles were resolved, the bandits finally met successfully outside the Qin camp, and the number of them was probably no less than three thousand.

Seeing that the Qin camp was not well prepared, the 'Thief Army leader' smiled grimly and said, "Qin Hao, today is your death. Brothers, kill!"

"kill……"

Taking advantage of the night, nearly three thousand thieves launched a night attack on the Qin camp, and the "unprepared" Qin army fled in horror.

Without much resistance, the 'Thief Army Leader' rushed to Qin Hao's camp. After breaking in, he found that there was no one inside. He immediately roared angrily: "Where is the person? Hurry up and chase me, don't let Qin Hao run away."

The leader did not realize anything was wrong, but the people around him discovered it first.

"The head of the family, something is wrong. This is an empty camp!"

"Empty camp?"

The leader of the thief army, known as the head of the family, only then realized and shouted in horror: "No, evacuate the camp quickly and ambush among us."

Before he finished speaking, countless torches and rockets were thrown into the camp from all sides. In an instant, the Qin camp turned into a fire camp, and the thieves in the camp were naturally full of grief.

"Why should I, my fifth brother, come forward in person to deal with you, Qin Wu, is enough."

Outside the camp, Qin Wu looked at the fire camp in front of him and said coldly: "The military advisor is indeed as expected. The fifth brother is already generous to you, but these borers are still unstoppable. Then don't blame me for being cruel."

The camp could not trap all the poisonous people. After a while, hundreds of bandits fled from the fire camp, but what awaited them was the Qin army's arrow rain.

Looking at the enemy in front of him, Qin Wu resisted the urge to take action and ordered: "The whole army obeys the order, shoot three times, and shoot arrows."

whoosh...swosh...swosh...

The bandit army was already completely disappointed in fighting. Faced with the thunderous rain of arrows, there were no way to avoid it. There were countless casualties and screams.

This was a unilateral massacre. Qin Wu could easily wipe out the thief army, but was stopped by Jiang Jiong on the side.

"Leave a few living mouths and send them back to Wancheng and hand them over to the military advisor, so that those shameful guys can't bear to die."

Qin Wu was stunned, and then a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Good idea!"

A killing is about to start in Nanyang!

—————

Wuguan.

"Report to the general, the plan failed, and..."

Yuan Yi suddenly stood up and said in shock: "What? How is this possible? Qin Hao only has five hundred guards in his hand? Have all three ambushed soldiers failed?"

"The Qin army is far more than 500 people. Qin Hao has already made preparations in advance. The caravans that have passed the customs recently are all pretended to be Qin army. And..."

Seeing that the man was hesitant, Yuan Yi shouted impatiently: "And what? Tell me quickly!"

"And Qin Hao didn't go to Wu Pass at all. Qin Hao really walked along Hangu Pass."

"What?"

Yuan Yi stared at the boss with disbelief on his face and asked, "Is the news reliable?"

"It's news that has been heard from Hanoi, absolutely reliable."

"How is that possible? That man obviously has double pupils? Is there a third person in the world who has double pupils in addition to Qin Hao and Xiang Yu?"

When Yuan Yi thought that Qin Hao was not dead, but designed an ambush that was completely destroyed, he couldn't help but feel a frightened. Qin Hao would never let any participants go.

"It's over, all the arrangements of my Yuan family in Nanyang are finished."

Yuan Yi murmured to himself, he knew that this failure would definitely bring a fatal blow to the forces of the Yuan family's Nanyang.

In order to ambush Qin Hao this time, the Yuan family not only joined forces with the aristocratic family that boycotted Qin Hao, but also used the family background, which can be said to have laid a net of heaven and earth.

Yuan Yi has absolute confidence that as long as Qin Hao passes through Wu Pass, there is absolutely no possibility of reaching Chang'an alive.

It is impossible for this time to fail, but Yuan Yi would never have imagined that all the small actions of the Yuan family and some hostile families were actually under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei.

What Yuan Yi even more unexpected was that there was something called "beautiful contact lenses" in later generations. After wearing them, it looked no different from double eyelets, and Qin Hao happened to have a "channel" to get it.
