The happy life of a prodigal

Many people even act as pioneers, leading the charge.

Of course, leading so many people, it is impossible for Qi Yanxiong to lead the way and charge forward like those small tribes.

At this moment, he was riding a horse, in the middle of the army, surrounded by elite guards.

There are also some generals.

Among these generals of the Qiyan Department, a figure stood out extremely.

This person is the emissary of Prince Kang's Mansion, Yuan Junzhe!

"Do you have such mighty warriors in Chu?"

Qi Yanxiong looked at the army in front of him, full of pride, and asked with a smile on his face.

Yuan Junzhe was startled when he heard Qi Yanxiong's sudden words.

I didn't know how to answer for a while.

After thinking for a while, he finally said: "The great army of the Qiyan Department is like an eagle on the grassland, it strikes the sky, it is free, and looks down on the world.

What we Dachu want is to protect a pure land, farm and support our family with peace of mind, nothing more.

Therefore, many cities and fortresses were built, and they were as strong as the hard-working cattle.

Although the eagle looks down on the grassland, when it encounters the cattle, it doesn't necessarily know what to do with the cattle..."

What he said was of a certain standard, at least he did not lose Da Chu's dignity.

Before coming here, Yuan Junzhe had thought about what he was going to do.

Under the condition of ensuring that Qi Yanxiong will not be angered, try to maintain the dignity of the Great Chu, the Great Chu court and the Great Chu royal family as much as possible.

Of course, this is just a best effort.

The most important thing is to get rid of the courtier Fang Xiu!

As long as this goal can be achieved, great concessions can still be made.

really.

Qi Yanxiong heard that Yuan Junzhe compared the Qiyan tribe to an eagle and Da Chu to a farming ox, but he didn't get angry.

He just laughed a few times, and then, in a heroic voice, he said loudly: "The eagle can't do anything to the cattle, but the wolves never take the cattle seriously.

Our Qiyan tribe is an eagle, but all the grassland tribes together are a pack of wolves! "

Yuan Junzhe was silent when he heard this, and did not refute.

Strictly speaking, he is not an envoy.

Just a... lobbyist.

Therefore, all he needs to do is this, since Qi Yanxiong has said so, then he has nothing to refute.

As he was thinking this way, some voices suddenly came from the front.

Immediately, the shaking of the ground seemed to be stronger.

Although Yuan Junzhe had no experience living on the grassland, he could still notice subtle changes after staying for so many days.

Up ahead...someone is coming!

Sure enough, the cavalry in front began to change formation.

The speed of the march also slowed down.

The military commander beside him also stopped laughing and returned to a serious expression.

Time passed minute by minute.

Several scouts galloped to the middle camp.

After the report, a commander came to the emperor of the Qiyan Department and said: "Your Majesty, there are wolf riders ahead."

"Wolf riding?"

When Qi Yanxiong heard this, he frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Didn't I send them to Qiuning Town? Didn't Qi Yangong capture Qiuning Town?"

There were some doubts in this tone, and some disappointment.

Qi Yangong is his most satisfied son.

If there are no accidents, it will definitely be Qi Yangong who will succeed him in the future.

only......

Under such conditions, the most elite wolf cavalry of the Qiyan Division failed to capture Qiuning Town.

Still let him down.

It's not that he was disappointed that Qiuning Town was not captured, but that he was disappointed.

The commander did not answer, hesitated for a while, and said: "General Wulan said that there is no defender in Qiuning Town..."

"No defenders?"

When the commander-in-chief's words fell, not only Qi Yanxiong, but also other people were puzzled, including Yuan Junzhe.

No one knows better than them.

Qiuning Town is the first line of defense for the four northern states of Great Chu against the grassland tribes, and it is the most important.

Those stationed here are also elites.

The fortress of Qiuning Town was built with a lot of painstaking efforts.

How could it be possible to just throw it away?

"What did Ulan Jin say?"

Qi Yanxiong looked at the commander, frowned, and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Commander-in-Chief replied, and then, with a hesitant expression on his face, after struggling for a long time, he still opened his mouth and said, "Not only that, General Ulan also said that the villages along the way are also empty, there is no one person, and there is no food at all. Not even the bedding left..."

"This......"

"How could this be? Did the people of Chu know that we were coming?"

"Seven days ago, my sentry in Qiuning Mansion told me that Qiuning Mansion has not changed in any way. How come Qiuning Town and nearby villages are empty?"

"This is impossible!"

The generals talked a lot, expressing their disbelief.

Qi Yanxiong was also very suspicious.

After all, if this news is true, it means too many things.

He, and even the entire begging department can't afford it!

He frowned, looked at the commander, his expression became a little cold, and said coldly: "Where is Qi Yangong? Why is Ulan Jin reporting?"

"General Qiyan took two hundred wolf riders and headed for Qiuning Prefecture. General Wulan said that General Qiyan might bypass Qiuning Prefecture, disturb Anzhou Prefecture, and attract the attention of Qiuning Prefecture... ..."

"Asshole, what an asshole!"

Before the commander had finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qi Yanxiong's angry roar.

Seeing that Qi Yanxiong was angry, the commander suddenly dared not say a word.

Qi Yanxiong took a deep breath before calming down his emotions, looked at the commander, and said coldly: "Let Ulan Jin come to see me! Immediately! Immediately!"

The commander-in-chief didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, he rode his horse and left, not daring to waste a minute or a second.

After he left, the generals discussed more lively.

"If the imperial court of Great Chu knew that we were coming, why didn't they plant punishment on the road ahead of time?"

"Why did they abandon Qiuning Town? If they knew in advance, they would have sent more people to defend Qiuning Town. As long as they defend Qiuning Town and wait for the reinforcements from the Kyoto Prefecture, they will be able to win!"

"Why did they know we were coming? Even if we only found out about this news five days ago, even if it was sentry, it is impossible for the Great Chu court to know so quickly, even faster than us!"

Chapter 871 I Can't Understand

All the generals frowned.

Leaving aside how the Great Chu court got the news, just talking about their speed of action is too much.

It is not an easy task to transfer so many people.

Marching is actually okay. Those soldiers have been trained to walk dozens of miles a day, which is very easy to do.

But what about the people in those villages?

There are nearly a hundred villages in Qiuning Mansion, large and small, with a total of tens of thousands of people.

How long will it take for tens of thousands of people to rush from the village to the city of Qiuning with all their burdens?

If it is divided into batches, it will take at least ten days.

However, it took them five days from deciding to attack Dachu, to preparing troops and horses, and preparing food and grass, until now, at an extremely fast speed.

Moreover, they marched in a hurry, but they paid a lot of price to be able to achieve such a speed just now, but they did so with the belief that if they fail, they will succeed.

What about those Chu people?

This is a bit too incredible!

Not to mention them, even Yuan Junzhe found it incredible that he had only been here for ten days.

He clearly remembered that when he left Qiuning Prefecture, everything was still in peace.

Where is the slightest change.

But how could such a thing happen now?

There is no doubt that Wolf Rider would never lie about such a thing.

It's not necessary and doesn't make any sense.

But how did all this happen?

Could it be that as soon as he left Qiuning Prefecture, the people of Qiuning Prefecture began to let the people leave their hometown and come to this Qiuning Prefecture?

It always feels like it's impossible.

He looked puzzled.

A voice came from the side.

"Chu people surnamed Yuan, what's going on?"

"Yes, what happened? You Chu people are like foxes on the prairie. You are more cunning than anyone else. This time, is it your King Kang who deliberately designed to frame us!?"

"I have long felt that something is wrong with you. Is that map a fake?"

For a while, all the generals pointed their finger at Yuan Junzhe.

Yuan Junzhe panicked when he heard these words.

He understood that he was in a wolf's den.

His own life was in the hands of these people, and if something happened to him, he would be the first one to be unlucky.

So, he hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "Generals, calm down, generals, calm down, I don't know about this either!

Then why did Qiuning Fucheng act like this, I...I..."

For a while, he couldn't find any suitable reason.

Even if you make up one, you can't make it up.

"Did you see, I have already said that these Chu people have no good things! They are more cunning than foxes!"

"They must have figured out how to frame us, these guys..."

"enough!"

Qi Yanxiong scolded, and everyone fell silent instantly.

Qi Yanxiong looked at Yuan Junzhe, his expression became a little cold, and he asked: "What's going on? I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise..."
