The red sunset hung in the west, and the cool evening breeze of early summer passed through. Two groups of cavalry chased each other, their iron hoofs trampled through the hillside, swords were shining, blood was shining, and corpses were spread all the way. But by this time, the shouts of killing gradually died down.
Ye Qing led his men to pursue him, but seven to eight hundred Xiliang cavalry escaped. The cavalry had a great advantage in escaping. It was never easy to encircle and annihilate them, even if they were cavalry themselves.
"Stop, there is no need to chase. Yun Chang and Yide will deal with this group of Xiliang remnants." Ye Qing waved his hand to stop the army. He said, squinting and looking into the distance.
At this time, in front of the stream, the water was clear and pebbles were visible, but a few corpses were emanating blood and rippling in the stream.
Then he looked back at the cavalry behind him. Under the golden light of the setting sun, he could see a trace of military aura with a blazing color.
This is the red military spirit of the great man.
Zhou Ling was originally the captain of the personal guard. This time she was left at home to consolidate her sword skills. There was only one general in silver armor and white robes following closely with his cavalry. This was Zhao Yun.
Not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were originally Liu Bei's five tiger generals, and they were successfully found due to advance hints.
Ma Chao is missing from the story, but Ma Chao was originally a warlord in Liangzhou. For the sake of hegemony, Cao Cao killed his whole family. After the failure, he counterattacked the Longshang counties in an attempt to make a comeback. However, he failed again, and then defected to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. He also secretly sent a secret letter asking Liu Bei to surrender.
Encircled Chengdu with Liu Bei.
Although he is one of the Five Tiger Generals, according to history, he is not trusted.
And Jiang Chen and Zhang Liao) are above him in terms of ability and trust. The most important thing is that due to Liu Bei's own strength, although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have the highest status, they cannot monopolize military power.
The military power held by Jiang Chen and Zhang Liao can be compared with that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Although Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are slightly inferior, they both hold military power. As long as they have military merits, they can be promoted legitimately. Zhao Yun will not be just a captain of the soldiers for a long time like in history.
Same.
It can be said that these five tiger generals are stronger. With them around, Ye Qing feels very relieved.
Looking at it more carefully, I saw that although Zhao Yun had gone through many battles, he was calm and calm. He was only one step away from reaching Lu Bu's level in martial arts.
There is even a trace of red energy lingering around the body, which is the aura of a general who has mastered the military power of more than a thousand people.
Ye Qing looked at this, smiled and raised his whip: "Let's go back."
The sound of horse hooves started again, and when passing by a stream, Ye Qing suddenly stopped his horse: "This is..."
boom--
"Protecting the lord...what is this?"
A group of rhinos rushed out from the grass and shrubs, each one black and strong. The big rhinoceros was leading the little rhinoceros. Without even looking at the soldiers, they ran to the stream and started drinking.
Ye Qing laughed and signaled the overly nervous soldiers to sheath their swords. He looked back and asked Zhao Yun: "So there were rhinos in the Central Plains at this time?"
"Lord, how could it not be?" Zhao Yun laughed, weighed the gun and put it away: "I also hunted a white rhinoceros on the bank of the Yellow River. Unfortunately, I didn't meet the lord at that time and didn't offer the skin to the lord."
"Oh?" Ye Qing heard what happened.
"Lord, let's just settle it here in the west of Henan. There is a lot of water in the east of Henan and Huainan, and there are hundreds of elephants. They often invade the houses and eat the crops..." A partial general said.
"I heard that elephants in groups of more than a dozen are gentle, but lone elephants are scary and will trample on people they encounter..."
"Ancestor Mu Tao Gong of Xuzhou also issued slanderous advice to people and framed and killed elephants and beasts..."
Tao Gongzu was Tao Qian, the person who sent Zhou Mu to him. Ye Qing smiled when he heard this, his eyes were a little melancholy. In future generations, if he dared to persuade the elephant to be killed, he should not be an official. The gap between the times makes people sigh. At this time
All I can say is: "Tao Gongzu has always been generous. Is there any reward?"
"Yes, five thousand dollars each..."
When the men talked about hunting, most of the women were not very interested. The female magicians in the magician (Taoist) group stayed away at this time.
Qianqian has been following Ye Qing. She frowned and looked to the west: "Sir, an enemy general inside just escaped... It seems to be the jade talisman of the Taiping Sect?"
"Well, this person has seen you and knows that he will never be able to escape your pursuit without using this."
"Can you escape this?" Qianqian said secretly: "I saw that this person did not run to Hulao Pass, but ran to the Qinzheng Ancient Road. The mountain road is steep and the road is still long... Master, do you want me to catch up again?"
"It's an idea... forget it." Ye Qing was about to agree, but suddenly thought of the green trees in Luoyang, he was startled, shook his head and said, "You should follow me."
"Xu Rong is dead. This general has lost his leader, and he did not intercept the Queen Mother. Dong Zhuo will not be merciful when he returns to Luoyang. He will either behead him or imprison him - by the way, if Xu Rong is killed, we will attack Hulao Pass later.
Much more relaxed.”
"Oh..." Qianqian pursed her lips. She actually didn't care about the pursuit. This was just a test for her. Ye Qing's subconscious reaction confirmed her suspicions.
After the dream, the young master had something to hide from him... He was so clingy that he was afraid of something happening to him?
Qianqian stopped mentioning this matter. In front of the young master, she would rather be treated as a stupid maid by him.
During the march, it quickly became dark and the moon rose in the east.
The torches were lit during the march. They were still three miles away from the stronghold. They could already see the lights of the fort and the camp under the hillside. Ye Qing was no longer in a hurry and stopped his horse: "You go over and enter the military camp first."
A partial general took the order, and the group passed by, leaving behind a hundred soldiers. Ye Qing let out a breath, dismounted, and asked Zhao Yun with a smile: "Zilong, how is the Queen Mother's arrangement?"
"My lord, everything has been settled properly. There is no shortage of clothing and food in the castle. I will serve the queen mother and princess with food and lodging first. However, there are no eunuchs and servants in the army, so I can only make do with it." Zhao Yun also dismounted and looked around uneasily.
Lord.
Ye Qing smiled: "It's pretty good to have this."
After saying that, he got up and walked under the moonlight. He stood on a stone and looked at the fire. With melancholy on his face, he said: "The bright moon shines on the mountains and rivers again, but the Han family's country is shattered..."
"My lord, as long as you are here, why worry about the great Han Dynasty being unable to revive?" Zhao Yun stepped forward and said loudly: "I will do my best for my lord and restore the Han Dynasty to the world."
Ye Qing looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "Why do you have such intention?"
As he spoke, he glanced around. He was looking around normally, as this was an ordinary mountain col, but when he glanced over, his sword suddenly trembled.
"Weird..." Ye Qing looked around. When he was chasing the enemy, he felt something strange. He didn't bother to check. Now when it was dark, he would go back directly, but on a whim, he felt even weirder when he got here.
"There is a breath that is inspiring me." Ye Qing pressed his hand on the scabbard and remained silent for a long time. His eyes fell on the mountain col not far away, with golden light shining in his eyes.
As soon as the spiritual reflection magic was activated, a line of red energy rising up to the sky was seen.
This is an omen of the unearthed treasure... The fishing method works here. What a coincidence?
Qianqian felt something strange about him keenly and didn't ask any more questions. However, when Zhao Yun saw that his lord only said one sentence, he remained silent, stared at one place, and asked for instructions: "My lord, what can I do for you?"
"Nothing..." Ye Qing remained calm. This omen was not obvious yet, and the time for the discovery was still a little short of time. The discovery of the spiritual treasure was related to the transformation of the spiritual veins, and it was not something that could be caused by just digging a hoe in the ground.
The valley is not far ahead, and the most important thing is to meet the Queen Mother.
Ye Qing reminded himself that this was the key to this trip. He immediately turned around and mounted his horse, saying: "Go back to camp."
Before returning to the hillside, we saw the military camp.
In just half a day, the wooden fence had been erected, the temporary defense had been established, and Hong Zhou had already arrived with a group of infantry, including a thousand more.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw it, and the magician felt even more relieved: "It's safe now."
The battlefield effect of the magician is not very good.
"Some of them are on the battlefield for the first time," Qianqian explained, a little embarrassed.
Due to the performance of the battle formation just now, this group of people not only lacked cooperation, but also saw corpses lying on the ground, swept into a pile by the soldiers like garbage, their flesh and blood squirming, reflected in the red light of the bonfire, causing many people to vomit directly.
Ye Qing just smiled: "It's okay, I've been here like this, and I've gotten used to it. I can even cook some barbecue for you guys to eat in the future."
"Ugh..." One of them, who was originally pale, vomited again after hearing this. After vomiting, he just smiled bitterly: "Lord"
"Young Master sometimes likes to play pranks." Qianqian glanced at Ye Qing angrily.
She knew that her group had been in peace for a long time, and there were frequent wars in the land, but the Taiping Sect had not yet joined in, and the Young Master's prophecy of becoming a god had not been activated. This round was the best opportunity to train magicians.
Ye Qing looked at the bonfire beside the tent and thought for a while. For some reason, he did not come forward to see the Queen Mother immediately.
But he went to the wounded area to check on the wounded, and said to Qianqian: "Wars are frequent in the lower earth. If we do this a few more times, the magician group will be truly trained in blood and fire."
"Yes." Qianqian followed the horseback inspection and saw the magician starting to treat the soldiers, so she also helped.
In fact, this is the real work of magicians on the battlefield. For low-level magicians, their ability to protect themselves on the battlefield is not strong, and healing is better than fighting.
Putting magicians into the battlefield, with no eyesight, will consume a lot of money. The core of war is reasonable consumption, and the same is true for wars involving monks.
Qianqian cast the spell very quickly at this time, and the healing spell had a green meaning. It only took less than ten breaths, and the next one came...
But Ye Qing noticed that she only treated the disabled, that is, amputated limbs, or emergency fatal injuries, and she didn't care.
After a wounded soldier came out of the tent, Ye Qing asked: "How will Qianqian arrange for the treatment of the wounded now?"
"Are you testing me?" Qianqian hummed.
"You are the leader of the magician group, no matter who you ask...oh, and you, the deputy leader." Ye Qing looked at Cao Baijing who was not far away.
Under the light of the bonfire at night, Mrs. Gan looked more and more like a crystal clear white jade beauty.
"How is cousin? Are you still used to it?"
Cao Baijing was washing her hands aside. The blood on her jade hands stained the basin red, and the fishy smell hit her face. But she smiled: "Don't underestimate me. Since my mother has been away since I was a child, I have been able to kill chickens and dogs."
Ye Qing smiled when he heard this, remembering that in her previous life, she was obviously good at healing water veins, but her hands were stained with blood. In life and death situations, she could always push people to their maximum potential... as long as they didn't die.
