Chapter 162

According to Zhao Qian's order, Xu Chu and Su Huan assembled the team and walked in the direction of Anyi, while Wei Ji and Zhao Qian rode on horseback.

At this time, Anyi's defenders gradually realized that their defender Niu Fu had abandoned them and fled by himself, and they couldn't help being angry.

Soon, the anger turned to despair, because they knew very well that Zhao Qian's army was powerful, and without a commander, there was no chance of winning.

At this time, the soldiers and captains of the Wei family in the army began to persuade them to surrender, and the sergeants guarding the city had no choice but to put down their weapons and surrender to Zhao Qian.

There were also a small number of soldiers that Dong Zhuo had brought with him when he entered Luoyang, and they all fled back to Chang'an.

In this way, without spending a single soldier, Zhao Qian successfully captured Anyi City and moved into Niu Fu's mansion.

"Gentlemen, as a general, Wei Ke, the Patriarch of the Hedong Wei family, is the first to win Anyi this time." Zhao Qian said loudly while sitting on the main seat.

Guo Jia and Xun You smiled, but remained silent; Xu Chu and Su Huan both nodded in agreement.

Wei Ji was a little flattered, hurried out of the line, bowed and said: "The general leads the emperor and the king's division. Wherever he goes, all the people will surely submit to him. I am just a favor to push the boat along."

Zhao Qian laughed and said: "This general will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, so he decided to present himself to the emperor, and present the head of the Wei family as the governor of Hedong."

Wei Ji was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said, "I'm ashamed to take the blame for the merits I've done but nothing!"

Zhao Qian waved his hand and said: "Patriarch Wei cannot refuse. This general will not stay here for long in Anyi. After a short rest, he will head west to Chang'an. After I go, someone needs to guard him. This person is none other than you."

"This..." Wei Ji still hesitated. After all, his second brother died at the hands of Zhao Qian. He was worried that Zhao Qian would anger the Wei family and find an excuse to punish them in the future.

Zhao Qian lowered his face and said solemnly: "Wei Ji, isn't your ancestor's relative of the great Han emperor unwilling to share the worries of the emperor?"

Wei Ji was startled. Although the Wei family is huge at this time, it is still much worse than when it was at its peak. The great general and empress of Han were both members of the Wei family!
At this point, Wei Jie tidied up his appearance, saluted respectfully, and said, "Wei Jie wishes to serve His Majesty and serve the Great General like a dog and horse!"

Zhao Qian nodded, laughed loudly, and said: "Okay, if there is a Wei Taishou guarding Hedong, this general will have nothing to worry about."

At this time, a messenger came to report: "Send to the general, the inspection sergeant caught six deserters, and the leader claimed that there is a gift for the general."

Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows, curious in his heart, and said, "Bring that person up here!"

The summoner took the order, and after a while, six soldiers in Dong Zhuo's uniform were brought up, pushed and shoved.

"Hu Chi'er, it's you!" Wei Ji immediately recognized that the leader was Hu Chi'er.

Zhao Qian frowned. The word "Hu Chi'er" seemed familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered who this Hu Chi'er was, and couldn't help frowning.

Hu Chi'er naturally recognized Wei Ke, but he didn't speak, waiting for Zhao Qian's inquiry.

"Who are you waiting for? Why did you flee and return?" Su Huan stepped forward and asked, because he saw that Zhao Qian was too lazy to talk to these people.

Hu Chi'er bowed his head and said, "Return to the general, the younger one is Niu Fu's bodyguard, and he came back to give the general a gift."

With that said, Hu Chi'er put the package in his hand on the ground and opened it, and two bloody heads were displayed in front of everyone at once.

"Ah!" Wei Ji exclaimed again.

Zhao Qian was surprised and guessed the result, but he still asked, "Why does Prefect Wei exclaim so frequently?"

Wei Ke bowed and said, "General, these two heads belong to Niu Fu and his wife."

Everyone present could not help but gasp after hearing this, and even Guo Jia and Xun You showed incredulous expressions.

Only Zhao Qian, he already knew about Hu Chi'er's murder of money, so he was not surprised.

Hu Chi'er was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and continued, "The younger one has already killed Niu Fu and his wife, so I'm here to dedicate it to the general."

However, Zhao Qian's face was gloomy, and he shouted loudly: "Come here, drag Hu Chi'er out and kill him!"

Hu Chi'er was taken aback, and quickly knelt down on the ground, begging for mercy: "The little one has come to surrender, begging for his life!"

Su Huan was a little confused, stepped out of the class and said: "My lord, Hu Chi'er killed a thief to vote, if he beheaded, I'm afraid he would be disappointed."

Although Su Huan was young, he followed Zhao Qian very early on. He was considered young and experienced. So, sometimes Su Huan would come out and say things that were inconvenient for others to say.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, and first signaled the incoming sergeant to let go of Hu Chi'er, then pointed at him, and asked, "Hu Chi'er, this general asks you, why did you kill Niu Fu?"

Hu Chi'er was taken aback, swallowed, and said, "Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. He is a minion for the tiger. I will kill him. Come and vote for the general. I hope the general will spare his life."

"How dare you talk nonsense!" Zhao Qian turned cold, pointed to a person beside him, and shouted: "You come and answer, if there is half a lie, this general will kill you!"

The man was startled, and looked at Hu Chi'er beside him, who was staring at him, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Zhao Qian snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, two sergeants waiting at the side directly pulled him up and dragged him out. With a scream, he was obviously killed.

Zhao Qian looked at another soldier, and before Zhao Qian could speak, the man had collapsed, and said quickly, "Please spare your life, and I will explain!"

"Say!" Zhao Qian shouted.

The man pointed to Hu Chi'er and said: "Last night Hu Chi'er led us to escape from the west gate to protect Niu Fu and his family. In the early morning of this morning, he was resting in Yuncheng. Seeing the money, Hu Chi'er killed Niu Fu, his wife, and a maidservant." Discuss with us and divide Niu Fu's property equally."

"Then why do you still come to see this general? Where are the belongings hidden?" Zhao Qian asked again,

The man continued to answer: "After Hu Chi'er killed Niu Fu, he negotiated with us to surrender to the general, and he will definitely get a half-job, and with these belongings, he can live freely for the rest of his life."

"Hmph!" Zhao Qian was very angry, turned his head and said to Su Huan, "Does Zhongting think that this kind of person can be spared?"

Su Huan was also a little angry when he heard this, and said angrily: "A slave who betrays his master deserves to be hacked into pieces!"

With a wave of Zhao Qian's hand, the sergeant dragged Hu Chi'er, who was slumped on the ground, out. He never thought that his cleverness was mistaken by his cleverness, and his life was lost.

After a while, Hu Chi'er's head was brought up, and Zhao Qian ordered: "Wrap up the heads of Hu Chi'er, Niu Fu, and Niu Fu's wife, and send the two of you to Dong Zhuo's place in Chang'an. Lead the other two to look for Niu Fu's belongings."

"Order!"
