The last three kingdoms

Chapter 350
Yang Xin, the prefect of Jincheng, complained endlessly. He knew very well that this time the Qiang disaster was caused by him alone, but the consequences were incalculable to him.This time, the Qiang people's swiftness and brutality were far beyond Yang Xin's expectations. The so-called Zonghu is easy to defeat a tiger, and the Qiang people at this time are like a flood of beasts, which Yang Xin can't control at all.

Looking down from the top of the Yuzhong city, the Qiang people are like ants, densely packed, layered on top of each other, and people's scalps are numb. Yang Xin has been guarding the border for a long time, so he is naturally aware of the ferocity of the Qiang people. The offending Qiang people are incomparable to the past in terms of number and momentum. The current Qiang people are like an irreversible torrent, which can swallow up and destroy everything that stands in its way in an instant.

Based on Yang Xin's understanding of the Qiang people, if Yuzhong was breached, there would be nothing left and no one would be spared. As the biggest official in Jincheng, he would naturally die.Such a result is not what Yang Xin wants to see. He can only silently swallow this cup of self-brewed bitter wine, gather his energy, and lead the soldiers and civilians of Jincheng to the task of protecting their families and the city. Go in battle.

To Yang Xin's relief, Nie Kai, the captain who was just transferred, can be regarded as a good fighter. Facing the tide of the Qiang people's offensive, Nie Kai took the lead and led the Shu army to fight hard at the top of the city. On the front line, they fought bloody battles and repelled the attacks of the Qiang people again and again.

With Nie Kai charging forward, Yang Xin did not dare to be careless, and personally led the crowd to fight on the top of the city.Jincheng is far away in Xiliang, and the people here are often burned, killed and looted by the Hu Yi. The people in the city are very clear that once these Qiang people attack the city, what awaits them will inevitably be a tragic end.Therefore, all the soldiers and civilians in Jincheng are united as one, fighting to the death, and will never let the Qiang people have a chance to step into the city.

After three consecutive days of fierce fighting, Yang Xin never closed his eyes, and his heart was burning with worry. He was not only worried about whether Jincheng could be kept, but he was even more worried about his only son, Yang Hu, who had no news from him now. Whether he is alive or dead at this time.

Yang Xin was so exhausted that he felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Nie Kai always thought that Yang Xin was fainted from exhaustion, so he quickly helped him up, carried him back to the mansion, and urgently called for a doctor to diagnose and treat him.

I don't know how long it took, Yang Xin woke up slowly, only to realize that he was no longer at the top of the city, but returned to the mansion, he was slightly stunned, and then recalled that he lost consciousness and passed out at the top of the city.Not knowing what's going on in the city now, Yang Xin struggled to get up, wanting to see what happened.

"My lord, you haven't recovered yet. The doctor ordered you to rest on the couch and don't move lightly." Seeing that Yang Xin was about to get up, the attendant hurriedly stopped him.

Yang Xin could still sleep there, waved his hands again and again and said: "I have nothing serious to do, at this moment, I can still sleep there, I wonder how the battle is going on in the city?"

The attendant said: "My lord, don't worry, the Qiang people have already retreated."

"Are you retreating?" Yang Xin was bewildered and full of doubts. He got up from the couch and asked, "Why did the Qiang people retreat?"

The attendant said: "I heard that Tianshui sent reinforcements. After hearing the news, the Qiang people retreated without fighting."

Tianshui reinforcements?Yang Xin couldn't help being startled, the number of reinforcements that could make the Qiang people retreat without a fight is obviously not a small number, and I don't know how many troops Liu Yin sent here, and whether it will affect his plan.

He struggled to get up, although he was still a little dizzy, but he didn't care too much, and ordered his servants to prepare their horses and prepare to go up to the tower to see what happened.

But before he went out, he saw a person coming in from the door, his armor was torn and his body was covered in blood, it was none other than his son Yang Hu.Yang Xin was both happy and surprised, happy that his son finally came back safely, and surprised that he was covered with injuries, obviously after a lot of fierce fighting, Yang Xin said in a voiceless voice: "Hu'er, you are back."

Yang Hu's face was much colder, he waved his hand to signal his attendants to step back, and said to Yang Xin: "Father, something went wrong, and things may be troublesome."

Yang Xin was taken aback, and said, "Didn't the Qiang people send troops? Didn't our previous plan go well?"

Yang Hu took a deep breath and said, "Didn't father feel that the Qiang people are coming more fiercely than before?"

Yang Xin frowned slightly. Indeed, the scale of the Qiang people's attack this time is unprecedented, far exceeding the scale of the past. Yang Xin was still puzzled before. It was originally planned that after Yang Hu sneaked into the Qiang land, he only needed to harass the Qiang people, kill a few people at random, grab some things, and arouse the anger of the Qiang people. It was as if the Han people were their father-killers and enemies, which made Yang Xin a little puzzled, but Yang Hu never came back, and Yang Xin didn't know the details. Hearing what he said now, Yang Xin felt a little bad.

"How do you say, you provoked someone who shouldn't have been provoked in Qiang?"

Yang Hu smiled wryly, and said, "That's right, it was the boy who killed the wrong person."

It turned out that Yang Hu led a group of troops disguised as the Shu army, sneaked into the Qiang land, and waited for the opportunity to find targets. According to the original plan, Yang Hu only needed to kill a few people in the Qiang land and set fire to a few camps. Completed the task, but Yang Hu thought about it. If he killed a few ordinary Qiang people, it seemed that it would be difficult to attract the attention of the high-level Qiang people. At the very least, they are people with a certain status in the Qiang tribe.

Therefore, Yang Hu has been cruising secretly on the Qiang land, waiting for an opportunity to find suitable prey.The land where the Qiang people lived was originally an empty and desolate place. It is really not an easy task to find suitable people to do it.But Yang Hu was undoubtedly very lucky. After wandering in the wilderness for a few days, he really found a chance and found a Qiang people's convoy.

Generally, Qiang people ride horses and rarely ride in cars, and those cars are luxuriously decorated, so they are not ordinary Qiang people at first glance.Yang Hu thought that his chance had come. As long as he could kill a few people in the convoy, he would definitely attract the attention of the Qiang people's senior management.

Yang Hu attacked resolutely, under the random arrows, he shot and killed a total of five or six people, including the noble lady in the carriage.Afterwards, Yang Hu realized that he had stabbed a big basket and shot and killed the third wife who was the most beloved of the Xiqiang King.

Later, Yang Hu and his party were chased by the Qiang cavalry crazily. Yang Hu fought bloody, and all the troops he led were black. Only he escaped back to Yuzhong desperately.

"What? You actually killed Yao Kehui's third wife?" Yang Xin was shocked.
