Chapter 696
The night continued. In the huge city, while soldiers and horses left the city gate, the lights in the Wei family yard were lit for a moment and then turned off. The black man with leopard head and eyes quietly left the back door. Behind the door, Wei Yan, who was watching him leave, was tall and strong, with his legs standing there at all times. His short beards were thick and thick, and his teeth were swelling, but there was no expression on his face. He just occasionally couldn't help but move his arms back and wanted to hold the hilt.
This series of expressions is a habit that has been preserved on the battlefield for a long time. Even if I come back for a while, I can't adapt to this kind of war-free life in a short time. Sometimes I suddenly wake up from my sleep and grind my teeth to find weapons, which makes the concubine beside me frightened to the face of the pajamas. In fact, this is not surprising. In the seven years of the Western Expedition, especially in the next four years, the extremely cruel battles happened every day, from small-scale pursuits to large-scale battles, high-intensity battles are far away, which is far away in this unimaginable picture of the Han Dynasty. Even after returning to Jingzhou, the past period of time seemed to be living in a dream.
"How dare they do this..." Wei Yan took a deep breath into his lungs, hoping to disperse the internal anger a little... However, in the darkness, his eyes looked particularly deep and bright. His fists suddenly clenched and turned around and strode back to the house. Looking at the armor placed on it, the mottled knife marks on it, his whole body was trembling slightly. For a moment, he spoke in a low voice: "Come on, put on my armor and follow me to the military camp."
In the sound, the sky outside gradually became blue.
On the southern foot of Xiangyang, the towering Zhangshan Mountain is just a silhouette in the early morning of the blue sky. The bare forest is covered with snow, and occasionally there is a rustling sound, falling down. Below the branches that extend out are riverbeds dry in winter, and the remaining puddles have formed a thin layer of ice. Then, the horses' hooves are shattered, and the running horse team has been following the riverbed northward, and they are also walking and stopping along the way. Several ambushes before have caused these people to suffer. If they had not experienced an inhuman war, their physical fitness is much better than ordinary soldiers, otherwise they would have fallen behind halfway. In addition, there are companions who were injured in the team, so they can only rush for a while and rest for a while.
For many years, they have helped each other and walked back to the Han Dynasty.
"After passing the mountain pass ahead, it is about a hundred miles away from Xiangyang. You can't get too close to it. If you are safe, it's best to go around Xinye and go to Wancheng through Bowang. Cao Ren is stationed there. The relationship between the Cao family and the governor Gongsun is also good. It should be possible to give us some convenience, at least you don't have to worry about being hurt."
In the sight, there was a dawn light gradually. In the team that stopped resting, Zhou Yu expressed his opinion. Along the way, Sun Ce and more than 700 cavalry came north, crossed mountains and ridges and took some detours, and finally got rid of the pursuers behind him. Veteran Huang Zhong and captive Ma Zhong also walked along with the team.
"Then Liu Bei shouldn't intercept us. What's the benefit of him?" Huang Zhong dismounted, digged out the snow and pulled a cluster of dead grass, wiped off the dew from the phoenix-mouthed knife, and then sat down in the snow: "On the way back to Changsha, I also heard that he was known for being kind and would never do such despicable things."
"Who can tell..."
Sun Ce picked up the snow and took a few bites, rubbed his face with the remaining snow, "Before this incident, I don't believe that Zhongmou would kill me... What's more, when I came back, I heard that Liu Bei and Zhongmou jointly fought against Cao, and fought very enthusiastically in Chibi. Since they formed an alliance, how could they let me go?"
Speaking of Sun Quan, the three of them suddenly looked at Ma Zhong, who was tied to the reins with his neck tied to the reins. The latter stomped his feet on the ground and trembled coldly when he saw the gaze coming: "Three heroes, don't look at me, Zhong has already abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, it's your group."
"Forget it, asking him to no avail. Will Liu Bei make things difficult for us? Let's go and take a look first."
After saying that, everyone took a break and set off again. When they set off again, the sun was already on the clouds in the early winter. On the west of Xiangyang City, a carriage drove towards the military camp there. Now Jingzhou's most popular Xionggui Army is stationed here. The imperial reward has not yet come down, but it does not hinder that Wei Yan, as a general in command, was promoted to the title. What's more, after Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, he was naturally envious of this elite army that originally belonged to Liu Biao. He had only been back for half a month and could not force people into it. Moreover, during the temptation, he found that the team was extremely united, xenophobic, and looked down on ordinary soldiers. It was even more impossible for ordinary generals to take over. Wei Yan became the target of trying his best to win over.
However, Sun Gan and Mi Zhu didn't take this kind of rebellious person at first. They should be able to speak gentlely, plus righteousness and wealth to open up the way. However, after a while of contact, there was no big progress. Thinking of the promise in front of the lord, both of them looked good.
"Wei Yan is troublesome. The military advisor said that he had a rebellious backbone in his head and would do things randomly sooner or later. Maybe he could start from the soldiers and take it slowly, without any rush."
The two of them whispered in the carriage, and as the road swayed to the outside of the military camp, they got off the car. They saw the arrow tower, with their bows and strings in their hands. The soldiers at the door below increased a lot more than usual. Mi Zhu walked over quickly, and the two spears suddenly crossed and blocked him with a loud noise, but it did not prevent him from looking through the gate to the school ground. The dense figures were arranged silently and neatly there. Each of them was covered in armor, with swords and weapons hanging on their waists, and the spears stood up like a forest. The wind blew. At some point, he saw that what was hanging on the military camp was a broken flag, and the scalp under the crown and hat was numb.
It was a thunderous feeling that came to my heart.
Mi Zhu broke through the spear, grabbed the wooden pillars in the fence and pushed them hard, shouting to the other side: "General Wei, what are you going to do?!" Sun Gan behind him was also rushing over, but was pushed back by the soldiers, and stumbled on the ground. He quickly got up, turned around and jumped onto the carriage, and asked the coachman to leave quickly and go to another military camp here.
In front of the schoolyard, countless flags guarding the broken wolf flags roared. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Western Expedition raised their heads and looked at the platform and the big flag, as if they had returned to the sea of corpses and blood. Countless lives rushed towards the enemy with the flag screaming.
On the stage, the general wearing armor and knife walked towards the edge. Everyone below seemed to have a premonition, and the blood flowing quietly in the blood vessels was burning at this moment.
"Are you used to life in sheep pens..."
The general on the platform did not have a loud voice, but in the strange and quiet atmosphere, it was clearly transmitted to Mi Zhu's ears outside the gate. When he heard this, his body became cold, and the anxiety in his heart turned into substance and suppressed him. He even gasped and became difficult. He struggled desperately on the soldier's arm, making the biggest sound in his life hysterically.
"Wei Yan! You dare to rebel"
"Dear brothers who have returned from the Western Expedition, in the early morning of this morning, I will hear a heartbreaking news. For seven years, the comrades who fought with us can't even go back to their homes! We are fighting with the enemy outside and returning to the great man. These people hide in dark corners and want our lives."
The loud voice suppressed the faint cry from afar. Wei Yan held the dragon bird's sword and slapped the wooden board and splashed dust. Looking at the 12,000 brothers with fierce faces opposite the field of vision, the majestic voice exploded like thunder: "Sun Ce from Jiangdong is outside now. His brother wants to kill him. Liu Bei in Xiangyang City also wants to kill him. Do you allow these to kill their brothers?"
"Not allowed!"
These men who returned from the battlefield finally released their repression, swung their weapons and slapped them on their shields, or hit the ground with their spears, and roared out with all their might.
When the gate opened, Wei Yan jumped off the platform and got on his horse with a knife: "Let's go! Whoever blocks us to save our brothers will kill him. More than 100,000 people from the Qin Dynasty do not live in us. Who else can do this in Jingzhou?"
"Stop, General Wei, you can't do this!" Mi Zhu stopped in front of him and shouted, but then the soldiers pulled him away and threw him aside. A thousand light cavalry rushed out like a long dragon on the other side of the schoolyard, and more than ten thousand infantrymen behind him ran out in steps. The dense steps trembled the ground. When they were about to go to Zhangshan, a soldier came towards him.
"Wei Yan, let your troops and horses stop"
