For several days, there was no movement from the Turks, which made the soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou uneasy. They always thought of the moment of calm before the storm. The soldiers and civilians stepped up to repair the city wall, blocked the gaps, and stood ready with guns and artillery.
Sure enough, three days later, a group of men and horses appeared in sight. The siren immediately sounded at the top of the city. The soldiers took up their positions and slowly pushed the cannons to aim at the incoming enemy. However, the group of men and horses had no intention of attacking the city and stopped three miles away.
Outside, only two cavalry were sent.
"What is this for?" a Liangzhou Army soldier muttered.
"Don't worry about what you are doing, just knock him down first." Another soldier raised his musket.
"Wait a minute!" The soldier was about to fire when he was stopped by Yuan Feng who had just walked out of the enemy building. He looked at the two knights approaching from a distance, and a feeling of déjà vu arose spontaneously. Looking at their breasts,
The war horse, the long straight-edged sword at the waist, and the shining fish scale armor are definitely not the attire of the Turkic cavalry.
Yes! They are Qiang people, these people are Qiang cavalry!
At this time, two fast horses had arrived at the city. Two knights reined in their horses and stopped. One of the knights said loudly: "We are the Qiang army from Xining Prefecture. We have come to reinforce Liangzhou on the order of our king. The army is already three miles away."
, the door is not open yet.”
There was silence on the city wall for a while, and then there was a burst of cheers. The reinforcements finally arrived. It had been two months since the war with the Turks started three months ago, and Liangzhou had been besieged for two months. During this time, not a single soldier was seen.
The reinforcements have finally arrived. How can this not be exciting?
But Yuan Feng was unusually calm. He waved his hand to stop the commotion of his subordinates and said, "Ask them if they have anything to prove that they are not pretending to be Turkic soldiers."
The city wall suddenly became silent again. The Turks were extremely cunning, and it was not impossible for them to disguise themselves as Qiang people and come to deceive the city. Even if someone shouted loudly: "That man, you are talking nonsense, how can you make us believe that you are real?"
Qiang army?"
The Qiang knight pointed to the distance: "The army is here, can't you see it?"
The people on the city said: "It's so far away that I can't tell whether it's true or not. I'd like to ask your general to come over and talk."
The Qiang Army knight snorted coldly and rode away. He returned to the main formation and said something to the leading general under the banner. After a while, the general came running over with more than ten guards in person. The people on the city stared intently.
Look, everyone is stunned.
The general of the Qiang army turned out to be a heroine. She was wearing a rouge horse, a mandarin duck embroidered velvet knife in her hand, wearing a golden armor, with two pheasant feathers standing high on the golden helmet, and a pink face as bright as a peach blossom.
But as cold as ice, the female general galloped to the city, suddenly reined in the horse and stopped, the horse ran out of temper, its front hooves leaped into the air and neighed endlessly. It was like a general who was about to mount his sword and draw a sword. The Liangzhou men on top of the city couldn't bear it.
Everyone shouted "Hello!"
But the female general pointed at the top of the city and cursed: "We came thousands of miles away to help Liangzhou, but we were turned away. They actually suspected that we were Turks pretending to be Turks. This is really deceiving others. It doesn't matter if Liangzhou doesn't save them.
Let's go!" After saying that, he turned his horse and left.
Everyone on the top of the city was stunned. This female general's temper was too bad. She left as soon as she said it. At the critical moment, she suddenly heard a shout: "Your Highness Hermione!"
The female general turned back sharply, scanning the people on the city wall with her beautiful eyes, and finally settled on Yuan Feng. At this time, Yuan Feng was no longer the young man three years ago, but looked like a mature man with a full beard. Hermione
After looking at it for a long time, he didn't dare to recognize it, so he hesitated and said: "Are you... Yuan Feng?"
"Yes, it's me!" Yuan Feng replied, then suddenly turned around and said, "What are you still doing? Open the door quickly!"
There were no other city gates. Except for a passage through the northwest gate, all the city gates were sealed with bricks and stones. The soldiers hurriedly went down to move the stones. Yuan Feng threw off a rope and walked straight from the city wall.
Sliding up and down, he landed in front of Hermione's horse.
Hermione turned over and dismounted, looked at Yuan Feng carefully, and finally recognized that this was the horse dealer who had saved her life. She excitedly punched Yuan Feng on the shoulder: "So you're not dead."
"Yes, I'm still alive." Yuan Feng smiled coquettishly. He wanted to express his affection but didn't know what to do. After all, they were not children anymore. How could they be embarrassed in front of so many soldiers?
Hermione didn't care, her face was still filled with joy of meeting old friends, and she said: "After learning about your castle, I cried for several days, and even asked my father to help you avenge him, but he did not
...Oh, let’s not talk about that, what are you doing now, are you a soldier under Cao Yanhui?”
Yuan Feng said: "That's right, I can be considered half a Liangzhou person now."
Hermione looked up and down Yuan Feng's armor. It was just an ordinary red shirt covered with chain mail. It was not much different from an ordinary military academy. "What official position did Cao Yanhui give you? With your martial arts skills, you should be at least a thousand generals, but
It doesn’t look like you are dressed like this, but it doesn’t matter, I’ll find him later and ask him to promote you!”
Hermione's careless words made Yuan Feng dumbfounded. Before he could answer, Hermione said again: "Who didn't let us enter the city just now? Let him come down. I want to ask him what he means. We don't know."
You didn’t come all this way just to look at people’s faces. Yesterday we had a battle with the Turks and many soldiers died. Now we finally get to the city and have to bear this anger again, huh!”
Yuan Feng had no choice but to say: "I gave the order. If you want to blame it, just blame me."
Hermione chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm kidding you, you look stupid, you're exactly the same as before. This beard is really ugly, please shave it off quickly."

The stone blocking the city gate was quickly removed from the inside, revealing a passage, and then the Qiang Army advance team entered the city. This was a light cavalry force with only three thousand people, but they were all fighting against the Turks.
The elite cavalrymen who went through the battle each carried two bows, one long and one short, sixty eagle-feathered arrows, round shields, waist knives and spears. The officers wore fish scale armor and the soldiers wore leather armor of seven strips. The Qiang people were not wealthy.
, to be able to arm such a force is a huge investment.
Yuan Feng asked his men to arrange a camp for the Qiang army, and he took Hermione to see Cao Yanhui. As soon as he entered the gate of the government office, Hermione was stunned. This was not the legendary and magnificent Cao's palace in Liangzhou. It was clearly a palace.
After staying in the dilapidated refugee camp for a long time, Hermione said: "Master Cao really loves his people like his own children..." Yuan Feng just smiled and didn't say anything.
Continuing to walk in, Hermione realized that she was wrong. Whether it was a woman washing clothes and cooking, a man sawing wood and forging iron, or a child running around on the ground, Yuan Feng always had a friendly look on his face.
, he called Marshal Zhang respectfully and affectionately, and Yuan Feng showed no pretense, as if he were walking among elders from the same village. All the guards and patrolling soldiers along the way immediately stood up straight and saluted when they saw Yuan Feng, showing respect.
Everyone's eyes will invariably rest on Hermione. Such a dashing and heroic female general is definitely not a native of Liangzhou. Those who think quickly will immediately think that reinforcements have arrived, but more people think that
Yes: This female general is a perfect match for our Marshal Zhang!
Yuan Feng is no longer the short and thin orphan he used to be. He is now tall and tall, with broad shoulders, a thin face with a heroic beard, deep and lively eyes, and a battle robe and armor stained with gunpowder smoke.
It's so masculine, and Hermione is even more handsome, slim and tall, with masculine armor and peach-like pink face, which has a unique style. The two of them have similar appearance and matching height, even walking.
They are all in sync, and they look like a perfect couple!
After Yuan Feng passed by, the people were pointing and whispering. Yulia had just returned from fetching water and overheard other people's comments. She looked up and saw a pair of silhouettes meandering away. Somehow,
A mist formed in Yulia's eyes, and the basin fell to the ground with a clang.
Hermione was as smart as ice and snow. From the words and deeds of the people, she could tell how much Yuan Feng was in the hearts of Liangzhou soldiers and civilians. When she walked to the door of the back house, Hermione grabbed Yuan Feng and said, "You can do it. You are already a commander. I
I know you won’t be inferior to others based on your ability.”
Yuan Feng smiled, said nothing, pointed to the front and said: "Let's go quickly, the prefect is still waiting."
Guarding the back house was a hundred-man team from the Roman battalion. Yuan Feng handled this point very well. After several changes, the three armies of Liangzhou are now all his men. The original middle and high-level people no longer exist.
Even if Cao Yanhui wanted to get back his power, it was impossible. In order to reassure the old man, Yuan Feng specially asked the relatively neutral Roman Battalion to defend the back house. The Roman Battalion was a mercenary, and whoever paid for it would do things for whom. Now, with Cao Yanhui,
The contract has not expired yet, and based on their professional reputation, Cao Yanhui should not have to worry about his own safety.
Two soldiers from the Roman battalion, holding long shields and steel swords, stood on their heels and knocked their fists on their chests to salute Yuan Feng. Then they helped him open the door and walked in side by side. The main buildings in the back house had been demolished.
After it was demolished, Cao Yanhui is now working in the side hall. He has been notified and is sitting at attention waiting for the Qiang army general to see him.
Although Cao Yanhui was nominally the prefect of the Zhou Dynasty, who in the northwest didn't know that he was the king of Liangzhou? In terms of territory, military strength, money and food, he was no worse than others, so even if Hermione's identity was Qiang
The princess was treated politely when she saw Cao Yanhui.
After greetings, the guests and hosts took their seats. Hermione took out the autographed letter written by the Qiang King and handed it to Cao Yanhui. After reading it, Cao Yanhui said with great joy: "The Qiang army and Uszang jointly sent troops, so why worry about the Turks being undefeated? I, Liangzhou, will be saved."
!Come here, let’s prepare a banquet for His Highness to wash away his dust!”
Hermione glanced at Yuan Feng happily and whispered: "You want to accompany me." Yuan Feng also smiled and nodded.
Somehow, Hermione suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked around and finally found a handsome little boy wearing a golden crown and brocade robe sitting on Cao Yanhui's right hand, staring at her. There was... hostility in his eyes?
