The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 32
At noon, the sun was shining.

Qiqi, the governor of Yunzhong County, received a parchment, and the person who came to deliver the letter was a darker-skinned, majestic man who claimed to be Ha Chihu's tent guard.

The parchment was opened, and the contents of the letter were concise and clear, and Qiqi's eyes were full of splendor.

Ha Chifu said in the letter that when he attacked Nao County, he was stubbornly defended by the Han people. After capturing the city, he lost a lot of troops, and asked Qiqi to reinforce Nao County. For the servant captain.

How can such a great opportunity to be promoted be missed?

Qi Qi summoned Qi Chuo, his confidant general, and ordered him to lead four thousand troops to Nao County in a hurry, and then everything would be under Ha Chi Hu's command.

At this time, one person stood up and called out that something was wrong.

Qi Qi glanced at this person, his face was gloomy, and he thought: You are a greedy person who surrendered and rebelled, how can you question this general's order.

Wu Chong bowed his waist, his original arrogance had long since disappeared under the tent of the Xianbei people, and asked in a humble low voice: "General, is it too much to send 4000 troops to help? There are still [-] young and strong slaves in the city. Difficult to suppress."

"Besides, it is unknown whether the content of this letter is credible. The Han people have always been scheming, and the general should be more careful." Wu Chong added, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Hey, aren't you a Han Chinese too?"

Qiqi sneered, obviously he didn't have a good impression of Wu Chong, if Ha Chifu hadn't said it would be useful to keep it, he would have cut off Wu Chong's head long ago and used it to make merit.

Ha Chifu is my cousin, how could he lie to me, and the Xianbei characters on this parchment scroll were indeed written by my cousin.

Qi Qi thought so in his heart, but what Wu Chong said made some sense, the slaves in the city, excluding those old and weak, had more than [-] young and strong, if it weren't for the chains binding their hands and feet, it would be really troublesome .

Well, 1000 people defending the city is a little less.

After figuring it out, Qi Qi rearranged his staff and asked Qi Chuo to lead an army of [-] to Nao County.

Yunzhong County is not too far from Nao County, if you travel in a hurry, it will only take a day.

Qi Chuo led 3000 troops, said goodbye to Qi Qi, and headed towards Nao County, with [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.

The one who led the way was the man who came to deliver the letter. He was handsome in stature but taciturn.

After two hours of rapid marching, the soldiers were already drenched in sweat and exhausted.

Seeing this, Qi Chuo said kindly to the man leading the way: "Brother Wuhe, let's take a rest, you see brothers are exhausted."

The man who called himself 'Wuhe' looked back at the panting soldiers, and said in a dull tone, "Pingfengkou is ahead, let's go there to rest, it's ventilated and cool."

Pingfengkou!
There were dozens of Xianbei soldiers in the team whose faces changed on the spot. They all participated in that battle and escaped with Ha Chihu by chance. The nightmarish slaughter and fear of that night are still haunted in their minds. scattered.

Qi Chuo naturally knew what happened that night, but he didn't take it seriously, he just asked Xiang Wuhe suspiciously: "Didn't we go to Mayi and then Nao County? Why did we come to Pingfengkou?"

"It takes at least one day to go from Mayi to Nao County, but from Pingfengkou, you can bypass Mayi and go straight to Nao County, and the time will be shortened by more than half. The general has been waiting for us, and it will be too late , the general is angry, you can afford it!"

Wu He, who was silent all the way, talked for a long time for an unprecedented time.

Qi Chuo listened to Wu He's words clearly and logically, and couldn't help but believe them a little in his heart.Especially Wu He's last two sentences made Qi Chuo's back drenched. If he delays the general's important affairs, he will die.

Thinking of this, Qi Chuo shouted: "Brothers, work harder, let's go to Pingfengkou in front to rest."

…………

The road at Pingfengkou is not narrow, but it is definitely not wide either. Eight horses walking side by side is the limit.

On both sides of the road are slightly steep slopes, not high, only two or three feet. Under the lush forest, even the weeds grow wildly to the waist of a person.

"Houtouer, do you think those Xianbei people will really pass by here?" A young soldier lying beside the road asked in a low voice, put his weapon beside him, and lay motionless in the deep bushes.

Hou Cheng stretched out his hand and slapped it on the forehead of the young soldier, scolding with a smile: "Let me just stay here, kid, I'll kill you enough later."

"Really?" The young man surnamed Jiang stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, and there were little stars in his eyes.

Hou Cheng rolled his eyes straight back, not understanding how this guy from Tianshui County in Xiliang came to Bingzhou.

In fact, Hou Cheng had no idea, he had been laying down here to ambush since it was close to noon, and now the sun was about to slant to the west, but the shadow of the Xianbei people was not even seen.

Could it be that the general made a wrong calculation?

impossible.

Hou Cheng shook his head and exhaled two breaths, barely calming down the anxiety in his heart.

Suddenly, Hou Cheng raised his brows, and lay down completely on the ground, with his ears close to the ground, there were bursts of muffled sounds coming from underneath, which were the sound of a horse's hoof stamping on the ground.

"Donkey, I've waited for you!"

Hou Cheng's face brightened, he spit, and gestured to Wei Musheng who was on the other side of the road to take the bait.

Wei Musheng nodded knowingly, his hands holding the weapon felt tighter.

Qi Chuo led 3000 people into Pingfengkou. The road was not very wide, which made the team bend like a thick python.

Wu He, the leader, made a gesture to stop the advance, begging for understanding, and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Stay where you are and rest!"

The exhausted soldiers sat down on the ground as if they were being pardoned, threw down the dry food and weapons they were carrying, untied the water bag at their waist, opened their mouths, and gulped it down.

Qi Chuo also jumped off the horse and picked up the water bag to replenish himself with water.

After taking a big gulp, Qi Chuo suddenly felt very refreshed, put the water bag back on the horse's back, and began to survey the surrounding terrain.

"There are overgrown weeds on both sides of Pingfengkou, it's really a good place to ambush."

Qi Chuo said leisurely, "Fortunately, the Han army was repulsed to the pass, otherwise, if an army is ambushed here, I'm afraid we will be in trouble today, right, brother Wuhe."

No one answered.

Only then did Qi Chuo notice that Wu He was still riding on the horse, so he asked with a smile: "Brother Wu He, don't you want to get off the horse and get some water?"

The spear in Wu He's hand came with a little cold light.

The warrior's natural sense of crisis made Qi Chuo take two steps back, but his reaction was still half a minute slow, and his left shoulder was shot, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Qi Chuo held his left shoulder with his right hand, stared straight at Wu He like a poisonous snake, and asked angrily, "Wu He, what are you doing!"

At this moment, the silent man who called himself 'Wu He' finally showed his ferocious fangs, pointed at Qi Chuo with a spear in his hand, and roared in his mouth: "Song Xian, the centurion under Lu Bu's army, takes your life!"

Hou Cheng and Wei Musheng, who were lying on the two sides, had already had itchy hands, but now they heard Song Xian's signal, they immediately roared like tigers, and they charged forward at the head of the horse, followed by the soldiers behind them.

In front of the originally bright road, suddenly a cavalry army charged straight in like a pack of wolves.

The leader is a man with flying temples, holding a painted halberd and wrapped in red armor.
