Chapter 342: Outside Tongguan, the vast yellow sand and vast desert
On the way south…
Happy, Cao Cao is really happy.
Speaking of which, Cao's army moved south very slowly. For this reason, he was still afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Yuan family. But now, because of the attitudes of Soochow and Jingzhou, these suspicions were suddenly aborted.
As for the reason...
Cao Cao issued two edicts in the name of the imperial court to Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Quan of Eastern Wu.
The former asked Liu Biao to hand over Liu Bei who had taken refuge with him, while the latter asked Sun Quan to send a son or younger brother to Xudu to "share the emperor's grace"...
As expected, Liu Biao and Sun Quan verbally rejected the matter in their replies. Now it was better and they had more reasons to go south.
Cao Cao immediately informed the three armies of Liu Biao and Sun Quan's reply. It didn't matter whether everyone shared the same hatred. The most, most, most, most important thing was that the experts of the Yuan family in the army knew about it...
All it takes is a secret letter to be sent to Yecheng. The annual drama of the Yuan brothers fighting for hegemony arranged by Brother Yi is about to be staged. It is really exciting to watch from the other side...
"Meng De... Our army can only travel forty miles every day. Isn't it too slow?"
Xiahou Dun rode his horse to Cao Cao's side. He was impatient and couldn't bear the speed of a tortoise. "At this speed, if we rush to the south, it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse."
Xiahou Dun became more and more anxious as he spoke.
Ha ha ha ha.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao laughed and waved his hand, "Yuan Rang, don't panic, don't panic! We are walking too fast, aren't our brothers tired?"
At this point, Cao Cao patted Xiahou Dun on the shoulder. "Just relax and have practiced in the wild... Hahaha..."
this…
Cao Cao's words made Xiahou Dun more and more confused. What's going on?
Didn't we agree to go south? Why do I feel... I feel like I have been deceived.
Xiahou Dun scratched his head...
At this time, Cao Cao's voice had already been heard. "Command the three armies to make rice..."
Ah...making rice?
Xiahou Dun was even more confused. He had only been gone for an hour, and he was making food again. Let me go... It seemed that they were not going south at all, but touring the mountains and rivers.
…
…
On the other side, at the foot of Tongguan, we have entered the land of Guanzhong.
It's not far from Chang'an City. It's said that the desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the sun is setting over the long river.
Yi Xiaotian opened the door curtain of the carriage and looked into the distance. Looking to the west, he had entered the land of Guanxi. It was really rolling yellow sand and a vast desert...
The whole scene is desolate and dilapidated.
It is hard to imagine that the Tang Dynasty would build its capital here four hundred years later. At least from the current perspective, during the Han Dynasty, this place was very different from the names "Shangjing", "Tiandu" and "Shangdu" during the Tang Dynasty.
Da da da…
I heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.
You can see from a distance that in the vast yellow sand, more than twenty strong men from Guanzhong are chasing a woman, sharpening their swords.
Hmm... Yi Xiaotian, who witnessed all this, raised his eyebrows and muttered in his heart, it was too much to have so many big men chasing and intercepting a woman.
He immediately waved his hand. "You warriors, can you help me save that woman?"
Surrounding the luxurious carriage were more than fifty Tiger Soldiers. The leader was Dian Wei, the commander of the Tiger Army... He was ordered by Cao Cao to carefully escort Mr. Yi along the way...
In addition, a few years ago, I learned from Cao Cao that it was thanks to Mr. Yi that I was appreciated and reused.
Now, Yi Xiaotian has a destiny, Dian Weiyi handed over his hand. "I must obey Mr. Yi's orders!"
As he spoke, he raised his whip...
Roared. "Go..."
In a word, more than 20 tiger soldiers were waiting in formation, making protective postures, and carefully guarding the carriage on Yi Xiaotian's side.
The remaining thirty or so Tiger Soldiers galloped away on horseback...
"How can you fight without me?"
Another voice came out, but Lu Lingqi jumped out of the carriage. She looked for a horse and found her silver gun from the baggage. Without waiting for Yi Xiaotian's answer, she directly rode her horse to join the battlefield.
"Lingqi"...Yi Xiaotian shouted hurriedly and reached out to stop her, but how could he stop Lu Lingqi?
While she was talking, Lu Lingqi had already caught up with the Tiger Guards and galloped away!
…
Visible in the distance, in the distance, flying sand and rocks...
"Whoosh..."
An arrow shot out and passed by the neck. In the distance, the girl being chased was frightened and fell instantly. Then... she was surrounded by a group of strong men in Guanzhong, and her face turned pale with fear.
But at this moment...
More than 30 tiger warriors rushed out of the two mountains on horseback. The first one was a woman, only seventeen or eighteen years old. Her face was beautiful and beautiful, but there was a hint of domineering in her eyebrows.
It seemed that as soon as she stepped onto the battlefield, her eyes suddenly became much more determined.
Drawing a long carved bow, the arrow shot out like the wind, and one arrow hit the left chest of the leading man in Guanzhong...
Banglanglanglang…
The two armies clashed, their weapons collided, and in just a few short rounds... the strong man in the twenty-level battle fell to the ground.
"As expected of the girl next to Mr. Yi, your flying move to kill a horse is really powerful... Such a powerful move reminds me of a person... an old friend."
The speaker is Dian Wei...
In the blink of an eye, he single-handedly killed three big men in Guanzhong with his two halberds. Even so, he watched the battlefield around him, fearing that something might happen to the beautiful girl next to Mr. Yi. He couldn't afford it.
This guilt.
But...at a glance, I couldn't help but feel secretly surprised.
Although this woman is thin and frail, her fighting power with the silver spear is as good as any second-rate military commander in terms of strength and skills... With the spear like a dragon, she killed three big men in Guanzhong with just a few movements of her hands!
In Dian Wei's opinion, the figure of this woman wielding a spear looked very much like Lu Bu Fengxian, the unparalleled god of war who had fought him for a hundred rounds.
How did he know that this woman was the eldest lady of the Lu family - Lu Lingqi!
"The general's kung fu is more powerful." Lu Lingqi smiled slightly and did not take any credit. She put away her spear, "Sir, it's okay under the protection of my meager marksmanship. If I really wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago...
"
This is not Lu Lingqi’s self-effacement...
Her husband often insulted her like this, saying that her skills were just for show but useless, just a showpiece!
So this time, even at the risk of being punished by her husband, Lu Lingqi has to show off her skills. She has to prove herself...
While talking...
Yi Xiaotian also came on horseback escorted by a group of tiger soldiers. When he saw the bloodstains on the ground and looked at Lu Lingqi, she seemed not to be hurt, and the big stone in his heart was half relieved.
...Look at the frightened girl again. She has a beautiful face, but her whole body exudes ice and cold...,
Turning over and dismounting, Yi Xiaotian walked quickly in front of her.
"Who is this girl? Why are these strong men from Guanzhong coming to capture you..."
"The little girl...the little girl is the wife of Zhao Ang, the Qiang Taoist order appointed by the imperial court. Her surname is Wang, and her name is a different word! They...they are..."
The woman stood up slowly. Her tone was hesitant, but she looked very strong. Even though her arm was scratched by a long arrow, she was bleeding... But she was not timid at all. Instead, she skillfully tore off a piece of cloth and quickly Wrap up the wound!
Um...Wang Yi?
Yi Xiaotian was slightly startled. According to historical records, she was a famous and loyal woman in this era, known for her resourcefulness...
But...why did she appear here?
She appeared in Tongguan?
Does this have anything to do with the unpredictable situation in Guanzhong, or even the invasion of three armies of the Yuan family?
For a moment, Yi Xiaotian's mind changed rapidly, and he became curious.
