At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 267 Divine Soldier descends from heaven
The messenger reported Gao Ding and said that Yongkai was seriously ill and could not come to the banquet.

When the Barbarian King Gaoding heard this, he immediately became furious and cursed: "Yesterday I was able to lead my troops to fight in the Han camp without getting hurt. How could I be seriously ill today!"

E Huan's ferocious face also revealed a strong murderous aura, and he said in a deep voice: "This must be because Yong Kai has a ghost in his heart and does not dare to come."

"The reports of the captured soldiers must be correct. Then Yong Kai must have conspired to kill the king and go to the general to claim credit."

"Your Majesty, please don't hesitate. You should follow the established plan and take a preemptive strike to kill Yong Kai and go to the general to plead guilty!"

Gao Ding stood up suddenly and said with a ferocious expression: "Yong Kai is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

That night, Gaoding led his troops to Yongkai Village.

Yong Kai was secretly worrying about how to resolve the misunderstanding with Gao Ding, so he went to bed late.

Suddenly he heard shouts of killing coming from the camp. He quickly stood up and shouted: "What's going on?"

The people on the left and right hurriedly came to report, saying: "The Barbarian King Gaoding led his army into the camp!"

Yong Kai was shocked and turned pale, then asked: "Why didn't the night watchman be vigilant?"

Zuo Zuo said bitterly: "The prisoners who were released by Zhou Qi secretly spread the news that General Yan had defected to Zhou Qi, so the soldiers had no fighting spirit and no defense at all."

"The most important thing is that our army is close to the Gaoding military camp, and they have been unprepared for previous interactions with each other, so they are very familiar with each other's camp."

"The barbarian army is attacking from the weakest defense point of our army. It is simply difficult to resist."

Seeing that the shouting of killing outside was getting closer and closer, Yong Kai didn't care too much. After hurriedly putting on his clothes, he escaped from the back mountain with his bodyguards.

He also thought that after escaping this disaster, he would find Gaoding to resolve the misunderstanding, get back on good terms, and fight the Han army again.

But it was said that Yong Kai led hundreds of personal guards and took advantage of the chaos to head towards the back mountain.

Yongkai got on his horse and walked towards the mountain road. After walking for less than five miles, suddenly the drums sounded loudly, and then a group of soldiers and horses came out. It was E Huan, the fierce general under Gaoding's command.

Seeing that E Huan was holding the Square Heavenly Halberd, he suddenly took the lead and charged towards him fiercely.

Yong Kai was very anxious and shouted loudly: "Chief E Huan, the Man King and I are as close as brothers. We must not fall into the trap of Zhou Qi's fellow!"

If it had been anyone else, hearing Yong Kai's words, he might have been merciful and taken him alive to Gaoding to figure out the cause and effect of the matter.

However, E Huan was treated well by Zhou Qi after being captured before, and he was released.

E Huan was grateful for Zhou Qi's kindness in not killing him, and he knew that the Han army was too powerful to be an enemy, so he had long wanted to surrender to him.

Now regardless of whether Yong Kai really wanted to kill the Barbarian King, E Huan would not let go of this opportunity. He was determined to kill Yong Kai here, and then took his head to the Han military camp to plead guilty.

E Huan didn't say a word, but just rode towards Yong Kai to kill him.

Yongkai was caught off guard and was stabbed under his horse with a halberd. Then he beheaded him and spread the message to all directions, and all Yongkai's tribe surrendered.

After killing Yong Kai, annexing his tribe, and expanding his strength, Gaoding became a little hesitant.

Seeing this, E Huan couldn't help but ask: "What worries does your Majesty have?"

Gao Ding said: "I didn't have many troops under my command before. I was afraid of the Han army's front and worried about being killed by Yong Kai, so I decided to surrender to Zhou Qi."

"Now that Yong Kai is dead, I have collected all his troops and occupied the two southern counties. With strong soldiers and horses, the Han barbarians have surrendered. If I surrender to Zhou Qi, I will inevitably be a little unwilling."

"What's more, I'm also worried that Zhou Qi will be detrimental to me after surrendering."

When E Huan heard this, he couldn't help but feel unhappy.

They had agreed before that after killing Yong Kai, they would take the other party's head to the Han army camp to ask for surrender.

never thought.

The Barbarian King went back on what he had just discussed yesterday.

E Huan was about to persuade him when he suddenly heard that Meng Huo had brought troops from Yizhou County and had arrived outside the camp.

After Gao Ding heard the news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Meng Huo is our barbarian brother. He is much better than the cunning and cunning Yong Kai."

"Now that Meng Huo is helping us, why should we fear the Han army?"

Seeing Gao Ding's appearance, E Huan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Knowing that it was impossible to persuade the other party, he immediately fell silent.

But he said that Meng Deng had received a letter from Gaoding asking for help. He led troops from Yizhou County on a starry night to come to help. Before he arrived at Gaoding's camp, he had already received the news that Yong Kai had been killed by Gaoding, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

He had a close friendship with Yong Kai, and both of them came from a wealthy family in Nanzhong. They immediately rushed over in a fierce manner, wanting to seek an explanation from Gao Ding.

As soon as Meng Huo arrived outside Gaoding's camp, he saw the gate of the camp open, and Gaoding came up with E Huan and his subordinates with faces full of joy.

"My brother, best friend of the tribe, you are finally here!"

Gaoding laughed loudly, spread his arms on his horse, and said: "Brothers are tired from coming far away. I have ordered people to hold a banquet in the camp to wash away the dust for brothers!"

Meng Huo's face was as dark as water, and he did not step forward on his horse. Instead, he sneered and said, "If I enter your camp, I'm afraid I will be like Yong Kai with my body and head missing, and then my troops and horses will be swallowed up by you!"

Hearing this, Gao Ding looked shocked and said, "Why did you say this?"

Meng Huo shouted sternly: "Both Yong Kai and I came here to save you, but you killed Yong Kai and took all his troops. What's the point?"

Gao Ding hurriedly explained: "It's not that I want to kill Yong Kai, but that he secretly colluded with Zhou Qi to take my head and surrender to the Han army."

"I killed him to protect myself!"

Meng Huo's eyes showed suspicion and he said: "Based on my understanding of Yong Kai, he will never be able to do such a thing!"

Gao Ding immediately swore and said, "If I make false statements, I will die under random arrows!"

Seeing that Gao Ding even dared to swear a poisonous oath, Meng Huo couldn't help but feel suspicious, and then said: "You will tell the cause and effect of the matter."

Gao Ding immediately made no reservations and told Meng Huo everything.

At the end, he said angrily: "I didn't believe that Yong Kai wanted to surrender to Zhou Qi. He deliberately held a banquet to test it out. I never thought that the other party had evil intentions and did not dare to come."

"Although I don't want to be his enemy, I also don't want to be killed by Yong Kai, so I take advantage of him first."

When Meng Huo heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "You are part of Zhou Qi's plan to alienate people!"

Gao Ding's face was filled with astonishment and he said: "How is it possible? If Yong Kai didn't have a ghost in his heart, why didn't he go to the banquet?"

Meng Huo called out one person, pointed at him and said, "This person is one of Yong Kai's subordinates. The reason why he did not go to the banquet was because he was worried that the Barbarian King would fall into Zhou Qi's plan to alienate him and risk his life if he went there rashly."

"Yong Kai was preparing to tell you the reason today, but he never thought that his head would be in a different place last night."

Gao Ding was shocked and turned pale, then screamed and said angrily: "You Zhou Qi, you are so treacherous that you made us fratricide!"

Meng Huo's face was as dark as water and he said: "Yong Kai's revenge must be avenged."

"Although you didn't kill Yong Kai intentionally, it was still a manslaughter after all, and his subordinates will definitely be dissatisfied. If you hand over Yong Kai's subordinates to my command, the killing of Yong Kai will be wiped out, and then you will swear to me as brothers to attack Zhou Qi together, and for Yong Kai takes revenge, okay?"

Gao Ding couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this.Although he already knew that he accidentally killed Yong Kai, he was not willing to hand over Yong Kai's troops to Meng Huo.

At this moment, E Huan came up and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please don't forget that most of Yong Kai's men are Han. It would be unsightly to force them to stay in the army."

"What's more, Meng Huo is quite famous among the Han and barbarians. If the king refuses, I'm afraid many barbarian tribes will be dissatisfied."

After Gao Ding heard this, even though he was reluctant, he finally agreed with Meng Huo's opinion and said: "In that case, I will hand over all Yong Kai's subordinates to your command."

Meng Huo's expression calmed down, and he said seriously: "Zhou Qi is treacherous. If he can drive a wedge between King Man and Yong Kai once, he can drive a wedge between King Man and me again."

"In order to prevent the same thing from happening, you and I should become a blood ally and never go against each other!"

Regarding this request, Gaoding didn't hesitate at all and nodded directly: "It's exactly what I want!"

In this way, Meng Huo and Gao Ding made an alliance with their blood in front of the soldiers of the three armies, vowed to advance and retreat together, and never betray the alliance, otherwise they would die without a burial place and never be reincarnated.

In this era, people attach great importance to oaths, especially oaths made in front of the three armies. Almost no one dares to violate them.

After the two became an alliance through blood, they each breathed a long sigh of relief.

At least, they can work together to deal with Zhou Qi from now on, and no longer worry about being stabbed in the back by their allies.

After the two oaths were made, in order to avenge Yong Kai, they led their troops to form a formation in front of the Han army's camp.

Zhou Qi learned that Meng Huo and his army were coming, but they refused to leave the stronghold and put up a no-war sign.

Meng Huo and Gaoding led their troops to attack the Han army's camp. However, the camp was very strong and the barbarian army lost hundreds of people and was unable to advance, so they had to retreat.

After returning to the camp, Gao Ding said with a sad face: "The Han army can't retreat, what can we do?"

Meng Huo said: "We don't have many soldiers and horses, otherwise we can surround their camp and cut off their food routes. In less than half a month, the Han army will be defeated without attacking."

"Don't worry, King Barbarian. When I ask for help from the other ministries, when we have enough troops and horses, Zhou Qi will definitely come back."

In this way, Meng Huo began to take advantage of his wide network of contacts and sent people to invite Marshal Sandong to send troops to help.

The first hole is for Marshal Jinhuan Sanjie, the second hole is for Marshal Dong Dana, and the third hole is for Marshal Ah Hui Nan.

Although Marshal Sandong is also a barbarian, he is not of the same race as Gao Ding and others, but an independent and powerful barbarian tribe.

The three-hole marshals have always been on their own side, helping each other, but competing with each other.

If someone can convince the marshals of the other two caves, he will become the cave master and take charge of the three caves. Even though his status is not as good as that of Barbarian King Gaoding, it is not far behind.

Marshal Sandong led his army to see Meng Huo.

Meng Huo said: "Today Zhou Qi leads a large army to invade our territory, and we have to fight together. You three can divide your troops into three groups to cut off their food routes. If there is a winner, I and the barbarian king will jointly appoint him as the master of the cave. How about that?" "

When the three of them heard this, they all said, "I am willing to be dispatched!"

In this way, the three soldiers divided into three groups.

Jinhuan Sanjie led his troops to cut off Ruoshui, Dong Dana led his troops to occupy Nanshan, and A Huinan led his troops to cut off the Lu River traffic.

If the three of them can achieve their strategic goals, they will cut off all water transportation of the Han army. Soon, Zhou Qi and others will collapse without a fight.

After the scout heard the news, he hurriedly reported to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi was not surprised but overjoyed when he heard this, saying: "Gu Zhengchou's barbarian army is scattered all over the place and it is difficult to destroy them."

"The barbarians from Sandong are here today at the invitation, which is exactly what I want!"

Huang Quan said: "Having said that, our army is small and we are not as familiar with the terrain as the rebels. If we attack them separately, we may be ambushed."

Zhou Qi stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, Gongheng, Gu Zao has a plan!"

In this way, Zhou Qi sent out three waves of messengers amid everyone's doubtful eyes.

As soon as the messenger left, a scout came to report: "Report to the general, Meng Huo and Gaoding are calling for formation outside again!"

Zhou Qi smiled and said: "It must be because Meng Huo was worried that I would divide my troops to attack Marshal Sandong, so he led his army to contain us."

Yan Yan shouted: "I am willing to fight and repel the barbarian army!"

Zhou Qi waved his hand and said: "I have my own plans, so I can't go out to fight and continue to play the no-fight card!"

The reason why Zhou Qi is not in a hurry for a decisive battle with the barbarian army is because even if he defeats the barbarian army, he may not be able to gain much.

The most important thing is that Zhou Qi plans to use himself as bait so that Meng Huo can use fueling tactics to continuously summon barbarians from various tribes.

If all the barbarians arrive, Zhou Qi can show off his power in a single battle and then sow the seeds of fear in the hearts of the barbarians.

Otherwise, even if he defeated Meng Huo and Gaoding here, Zhou Qi would still have to spend time traveling to various remote and remote places to conquer the remaining tribes.

In this way, not only will it take a long time, but you may also encounter unexpected events due to in-depth exploration.

But he said that Zhou Qi sent three waves of messengers and arrived at the Gan Ning, Xu Chu, and Zhou Tai military camps successively, asking them to act according to the orders in the letter and according to the plan.

It turned out that before Zhou Qi came to put down the rebellion, he had already mobilized Gan Ning, Xu Chu, and Zhou Tai respectively. He ordered each of the three men to command [-] troops and horses, disguised as grain transport teams, and wait for news.

By recruiting these three warriors this time, Zhou Qi was preparing for a big fight, completely planting the seeds of fear in the hearts of the barbarians so that they would not dare to rebel again.

But it was said that Jin Huan Sanjie led his army to Ruoshui, and happened to encounter the Han army's grain transport team, and immediately ordered people to stop it.

Jinhuan Sanjie looked at the densely packed grain-carrying ships on the river. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted sternly: "All the grain and grass of the Han army will be returned to us, and all the people transporting grain will be killed."

"From now on, there will be no more grain-carrying ships from the Han army on Ruo Shui!"

"Jingle Bell!"

At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the bell hanging on the boat made a crisp sound.

I saw a general wearing armor inside and brocade robe walking out of the cabin, then bent his bow and arrow, and shot directly towards the three knots of the golden ring.

"Chirp!"

The arrow was unstoppable and hit the golden ring three knots in the throat.

"Woooooo!"

The three-knotted golden ring, which had been full of energy just now, was holding its bleeding throat, and the light in its eyes gradually dissipated.

"Brothers, kill me!"

Gan Ning killed the three knots of the golden ring with one arrow, and then roared loudly. Countless soldiers suddenly appeared on the grain ship that the barbarians thought contained grain and grass, like divine soldiers descending from heaven.

They roared and charged in, and the leaderless barbarians retreated immediately.

Gan Ning, on the other hand, led the crowd to cover up the killing, showed no mercy, and killed the barbarian army until rivers of blood flowed out.
