The fire continues continuously and it is not known how long it will stop.
The reeds were burned by the fire, and the long wind raised black ashes. From the current appearance, the fire had a tendency to spread outward.
After the battle, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield. They exterminated small groups of Rong people, treated the wounded, and collected the bodies of their fallen comrades.
"Master, what should I do with my dead brother? Should I bury him on the spot, or..." Guan Yu.
Cheng Dalei looked in the direction of Liangzhou, shook his head and said: "We are not far from Liangzhou now. If we take them back to Liangzhou, they can be buried in the soil of Liangzhou, which can be regarded as going home."
Guan Yu nodded and immediately conveyed the order to Cheng Dalei. Everyone cut down the surrounding trees and made a simple coffin on the spot.
The casualties in this battle were not great, and by taking advantage of the terrain of the reed swamp, the Rong tribe's 50,000-strong army was defeated. In any case, it was considered an amazing victory.
But battles are never without casualties. Looking at the bodies of dead brothers, no one can be happy no matter what.
After reorganizing the team, taking the coffins of their dead brothers with them, and bypassing the reed swamp, everyone set out on the road back to Liangzhou.
We stayed overnight in Xiaoxing and walked for two more days. We were now approaching Sanshui Pass.
Before approaching Sanshui Pass, a sound of fighting was suddenly heard in front of them. The team looked closer and saw two teams fighting together.
Cheng Dalei looked intently, but he knew both parties. On one side was the Chang'an city defense force led by Lu Junyi, and on the other was the Sanshui Pass defense force led by Baili Wuchang.
I don’t know how the two families got into a fight.
"The great master, the great master..."
Bai Yuanfei, who was mixed up in the chaos, rode up to Cheng Dalei. He went to Sanshui Pass to ask for reinforcements, and it was only now that the two sides met.
"What's going on?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"I don't know either. Anyway, when the two families met, it was as if they had been given blood and they fought like crazy."
Cheng Dalei did not know that Lu Junyi led his people to defect to Liangzhou. They were smaller in number and were not harassed by the Rong tribe, so they walked ahead of Cheng Dalei.
Baili Wuchang is now a dog without an owner, and he cannot support the situation by himself. Therefore, as soon as Bai Yuanfei arrived at Sanshui Pass, Baili Wuchang immediately agreed to send troops to help Cheng Dalei.
The two sides met like this.
When Baili Sheng led his troops out of Liangzhou, he was tricked by Baili Wuchang. Baili Wuchang was missing an arm, which was also a gift from Baili Sheng. When the two sides met, they were really jealous, so
They bumped into each other.
Cheng Dalei also couldn't figure out the situation, so he temporarily ordered Guan Yu to separate the battle group.
Guan Yu led a group of men and horses into the center of the battle group and stopped the two groups. When they saw the Liangzhou troops appearing, both Baili Wuchang and Lu Junyi pressed their weapons at the same time and left the battle group.
"Two heroes, stop it. Two heroes, stop it."
Cheng Dalei appeared in front of everyone riding a black bull, called out twice, and stopped Lu Junyi and Baili Wuchang.
"Is there some unexplainable festival where two heroes are fighting each other and trying to kill each other?"
Baili Wuchang was willing to send troops to show his goodwill to Cheng Dalei. And Lu Junyi showed up here with seven or eight hundred people, certainly not to attack Liangzhou. Remembering what he had said to him, he thought he came here to seek refuge with him.
Therefore, Cheng Dalei must stop the fighting between the two sides no matter what.
Baili Wuchang snorted coldly: "This group of rebels must have bad intentions when they appear here. Head of the Cheng family, you and I joined forces to kill him."
Lu Junyi also had a bad look on his face: "I will avenge Lord Baili, and I will definitely take your life."
"Okay, okay. The empire is gone, and the rebels came from there. Besides, Baili Marquis didn't die in his hands. The empire is turned upside down. It's the time when heroes are born and they can show their strength. Don't kill each other.
, let outsiders laugh."
Having said that, they saw that the two families were still staring at each other angrily. Due to Cheng Dalei's reputation, they could hold off for the time being, but this matter would never be let go easily.
Cheng Dalei sighed and said: "Okay, okay, let's do this. You two will each attack me, and I will never fight back. Let's forget about it. What do you two think?"
"Master, this must not be allowed..." Guan Yu took a step forward, it was just a matter of impermanence, but Lu Junyi must not despise it.
"Why don't we let Qin take over their two moves on behalf of the head?" Qin Man was eager to try.
Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, what do you two think?"
Baili Wuchang thought for a while and suddenly said: "Master Cheng, I'm offended."
Everyone made room for him, and Cheng Dalei stood in the middle riding a black bull. Baili Wuchang suddenly shouted loudly, clapped his horse and hit Cheng Dalei.
Baili Wuchang lost one arm and should have been a useless person, but he did have a ruthless spirit, and he managed to become a one-armed sword, so he could still go into battle to kill the enemy.
However, this was not a life and death fight, and he did not dare to make a fatal move. If Cheng Dalei was really injured, the 20,000 troops behind him would be freeloaders. I am afraid they would immediately swarm up and cut Baili Wuchang Chaanbian into pieces.
One wants to avenge his broken arm, and the other wants to avenge Baili Sheng. In fact, Cheng Dalei just gave them a step down. The empire has reached this point, so there is no reason to say anything.
Seeing Baili Wuchang's broadsword slashing at him, Cheng Dalei hid in the stirrup. Don't look at him, but his body was quite agile.
Kankan avoided the knife, and everyone around him shouted in unison.
Cheng Dalei let out a breath, looked at Lu Junyi and said, "General Lu, it's your turn."
Lu Junyi looked at the spear in his hand, shook his head, suddenly jumped off the horse, and knelt down towards Cheng Dalei.
"Mr. Cheng is very loyal to the family, and Lu is convinced. In the future, he is willing to work for Mr. Cheng."
It's impossible to hurt Cheng Dalei by taking action, so why bother? Just lower your stance and buy a favorability point first.
It has to be said that Lu Junyi experienced a lot in the court and became very good at it.
When Baili Wuchang saw this scene, he secretly regretted it. He had miscalculated. How could he attack Cheng Dalei? He was still too naive.
He also got off his horse and knelt down on the ground: "This subordinate is offended, and Master Cheng will bear all the consequences."
Lu Junyi did not attack him, and Cheng Dalei breathed a sigh of relief. If they were to fight against each other, Cheng Dalei might not be sure of victory.
He also jumped off the back of the cow, helped the two of them up one after another, and said: "You two heroes don't have to be like this. From now on we will be a family of brothers, and we will naturally share blessings and hardships."
"Listen to Master Cheng's instructions."
The two of them wanted to take refuge with Cheng Dalei, so Cheng Dalei gave them a step, and they came down quickly without holding any airs on it.
Fortunately for Baili Wuchang, Cheng Dalei valued Lu Junyi's ability very much. If he could recruit him, it would not be an empty-handed return this time.
Cheng Dalei still asked Baili Wuchang to guard Sanshui Pass. Lu Junyi joined the large army. Everyone passed through Sanshui Pass and rushed back to Liangzhou within a few days.
