Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Xun Yu was overjoyed and high-fived Feng Yu on the spot.

At the top of the city, Xun Yu looked at Feng Yu's team going away, and sighed: "It would be great if you were older."

Chapter 016 The Unknown Enemy

Xiangyang Wubao stands on a corner of the abandoned city of Xiangyang.There are only two exits, front and back, and the front exit is facing a main road into the abandoned city.The exit at the back is a small water gate in Xiangyang City back then, which leads directly to the Mian River, allowing ships to dock directly.

At present, the entire Xiangyang Wubao is immersed in boundless darkness, and there are no lighting devices such as torches on the walls of Wubao.It's still spring, there are no frogs and insects, and the surrounding area is also silent.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound near Wubao.A few black shadows still emerged from the ruins and weeds opposite the front door of Wubao.

They put three bamboo ladders on the wall of Wubao silently and began to climb up.They moved swiftly and slowly, and in the silent night there was only the slight creaking of the bamboo ladder.

Not long after, the person at the front had already climbed to the top of the ladder, and was about to climb up the crenel on the top of the dock wall with both hands and feet.

When he just stepped on the crenel, a figure still appeared in front of him.Shocked, a steel knife stabbed him unexpectedly, and the sharp blade sank into his chest.Before he had time to scream, he fell off a wall that was as high as four feet.

There were also two consecutive screams from the other two ladders.The people above were also beheaded by the Zhuyang Army scouts who suddenly appeared.

On the city wall of Wubao, several torches were lit one after another and thrown into the air. When the torches landed, they already reflected the figures crouching on the ground.At this moment, more than a dozen sharp arrows shot towards these figures.A few muffled groans and screams came from the city.

Seeing that the attack on Wubao had been revealed, the people who attacked Wubao simply turned from a sneak attack to a strong attack.Except for the side near the water, the other three sides of Wubao were lit with torches one after another, and the lights were bright in an instant.

There were dozens of people, and several people built seven bamboo ladders on the wall of Wubao one after another.There was a loud cry of killing, and hundreds of people flocked behind.

They climbed quickly along the top shield of the bamboo ladder, and when they climbed to the top of the ladder, they fought with the Zhuyang scouts guarding behind the crenel. Often, they were cut down to the city within two or three rounds.

Under such a rapid attack, the scouts in Wubao still had enough strength to shoot arrows outside the city from time to time.From time to time, some of the besiegers were shot and fell to the ground.

Below the city, there were several shouts of orders, and a large number of arrows shot at the city head one after another.Helpless, there is no light source for lighting at the top of the city.This kind of shooting was completely random shooting without a target. Naturally, it had no effect, but accidentally injured several of his accomplices.

After a quarter of an hour's hustle and bustle, there were a few more shouts from the city.The attack stopped abruptly, and they withdrew suddenly, leaving cleanly in an instant.Only ten bamboo ladders and twenty or thirty corpses were left behind.Then darkness and silence returned under the Houdock.

……

In Zhuyang city.Feng Yu set up an incense table in the mansion to welcome the Xuanzhao imperial officials who entered the city last night.After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, in order to win the hearts of the world, he rewarded the princes of all parties.

For Dong Zhuo, these titles and titles are free anyway.I am happy to use this as a favor.

Feng Yu was also assigned the title of General Fenwei in this big award.In fact, the title of Marquis of the county, which was conferred by the late emperor, is far more valuable than General Fenwei.

As soon as the imperial officials were sent away, soldiers came to report to Feng Yu. It was nearly two hours ago, that is, before dawn.Xiangyang Wubao was attacked.The enemy's identity was unknown, and there were hundreds of people. After more than [-] casualties, they retreated on their own. The scouts stationed in Wubao had zero casualties.

After Feng Yu heard the news, he immediately remembered that in the past few days, in Jingzhou, south of Xiangyang, the calm water surface was surging with torrents.

There is an eyeliner bought by him in the Kuai family caravan.Based on this, he obtained some basic information about Southern Jingzhou.As he expected, Liu Biao failed to hand over to Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui smoothly.In other words, Wang Rui did not admit that Liu Biao was appointed by the imperial court at all.

Originally, Wang Rui had the support of the Cai family, another big family in Jingzhou, while Liu Biao was supported by the Kuai family.But since Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, Liu Biao used some means to win over the Cai family.The situation in Jingzhou took a sharp turn for the worse.

Now Wang Rui is hiding in Hanshou in Wuling County, the Jingzhou government, and Liu Biao transferred the Jingzhou government to Jiangling in the name of the new Jingzhou governor.

Feng Yu thought in his mind that neither Wang Rui nor Liu Biao could have his idea of ​​Nanyang.

It goes without saying that Wang Rui is far away in Hanshou, and he is huddled in a city.

Liu Biao said that he controlled most counties and counties in Jingzhou.But in the territory, apart from Wang Rui, there are many "Zong Thief" Wubao castles.There are also powerful forces like Sun Jian and Huang Zu.Where do they have the energy and motivation to challenge themselves?

Moreover, Liu Biao's attitude is actually the attitude of the Kuai family and the Cai family, and the Kuai family is still doing business with him.How could he become an enemy of himself for no reason.

If it is to grab land, the most indispensable thing in this era is land.Jingzhou in the south of Xiangyang still has a large vacant land that needs to be filled by people.Go to Nanyang to grab something?

While he was thinking about it, Xiangyang Wubao sent another message.It is said that after dawn, there were three groups of people, men, women, old and young, carrying luggage.As few as hundreds, as many as nearly a thousand.Go upstream on the opposite bank of Mian River and enter the Nanyang Plain.

Each of these men and women is armed with a weapon. It looks like civilians are not like civilians, soldiers are not like soldiers, and thieves are not like thieves. I don't know what their identities are.

Feng Yu was stunned when he heard the news. In the past, refugees usually ran from north to south, and the rogues, mainly the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, generally ran in this direction.I've never heard of it, those in the south run to the north.Who are these guys?

At this moment, in Feng Yu's mind, a system prompt sounded:

[Task: Find out the identity.Content: Find out the identities of the unknown forces that have recently entered the Nanyang Plain, and find out their purpose.Task rewards: Thirty Libao Brick City Wall Building Card x1, Thousand People Shelter Card x3, Generals Conquer and Surrender Green Card x2, Mountain Scout Training Unlock]

……

At sunset, a large crowd suddenly gathered in the southwest of Xinye County, where only the dilapidated city walls remained.They pitched tents in the wilderness and lit a bonfire, apparently intending to spend the night here.

When night fell, one of them held a bowl of batter that could reflect the shadow of a person, and began to drink it.The baby in the breastfeeding woman's arms was crying and crying, so she had to drink the mush in two or three gulps, turned her back, unbuttoned her clothes, and started feeding the baby.

Beside the bonfire in front of a certain tent, a bearded man handed two pieces of hot bread to one person, and said respectfully, "Zong Shuai, eat something."

Although this man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, there was not a single patch on his clothes, and there was a armor that had just been removed beside him.Obviously a leader of the team.At this time, he was still distressed by the loss of the second No. 30 male due to his rash attack in the early hours of the morning.

He took two bites of the bread and ordered: "Please bring the heads of the Zhu family and the Xie family, I want to discuss matters with them." The servants made a promise and went.

None of them noticed a figure crouching in the grass ten feet away from the bonfire, and he had quietly left at this moment.

Chapter 017 The Pursuing Jingzhou Army

At dawn, the endless prairie in the Nanyang Basin was just covered with the first red glow, and then the sound of horns came.

There was still smoke in the camp.The man named Zong Shuai was awakened, and a carp stood up from the blanket.He squinted and looked into the distance.

A group of people who have been formed into an army formation is quickly approaching their camp.His heart sank immediately.

"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!" He screamed loudly.The people in the camp were in a panic, and the men went crazy looking for their weapons everywhere.Old and weak women and children gathered in a group and squeezed in the middle.

These people totaled 700 people.Excluding the old and weak, women and children, there are more than 800 men who can fight.The army formation on the opposite side has at least [-] people, and it looks like a well-trained and well-equipped regular army.

The men finally got ready, and each lined up in several rows outside with their weapons, facing each other sharply.

The opponent got closer and closer, and when they were less than ten battles away from the camp, they suddenly shouted together and stopped in unison.

The soldiers in the first row put their large shields on the ground to form a tight shield wall, and at the same time, the short spears in their hands fell.A steel spear with a cold light protruded from the gap between the shield and the shield.

The crossbowmen behind the shields also held bows and nocked arrows, as if throwing arrows towards the position in front of the shield wall at any time.

The sound effects produced by the neat movements are overwhelming and breathtaking.The weapons in the hands of the men trembled slightly, while the women and children behind them shivered in the cold morning wind and embraced each other.

A general on the other side shouted: "We are the officers and soldiers of the Marquis of Zhuyang, you should quickly put down your weapons and accept interrogation. Otherwise, we will be wiped out as thieves!"

Then all the soldiers shouted in unison: "Those who surrender will not be killed! Resist all resistance!".

The bearded man next to Zong Shuai said with a guilty conscience: "Brother... Zong Shuai, we can't face this head-on. A good guy doesn't suffer from immediate losses. Let's... let's withdraw."

The "Zong Shuai" stared at him and said, "Withdraw? Where are we going? We might run away if we are strong, but don't we want the elders, women and children?"

Then he swallowed a mouthful of spit, closed his eyes and shouted as if he had made up his mind: "The sword and shield are in the front, and the archer is ready to fight..."

Before he finished speaking, there were two shouts: "Don't, don't do anything, we're surrendering." Immediately afterwards, more than 300 people at the other end of the team threw their weapons, bows and crossbows on the ground one after another.

The "Zong Shuai" sighed and said: "The Zhu family, the heads of the Xie family, why are you so confused, do you think you can live if you surrender? He will definitely hand us over to Liu Biao and Kuai's family...you guys, follow me kill!"

After finishing speaking, he launched a suicide charge towards the Zhuyang army, and the big man with beards followed closely behind him. The hundreds of people around him were stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward one after another.

Almost in the blink of an eye, "Zong Shuai" was hit by an arrow in the face, his limbs became stiff, and he fell to the ground.

This arrow was shot by Dian Qing, and immediately after this arrow, dozens of arrows also rushed towards the face, killing the man with the beard and the few people who rushed to the front and didn't protect themselves with shields Shot down.

"Zong Shuai"'s crossbowman also shot a round of arrows, but basically they hit the shield wall or passed the opponent's three-row army formation, without any effect.Those "Zong Shuai" subordinates who had just started to charge stopped involuntarily when they saw this scene.

At this time, the Zhuyang army did not continue to attack, but just pushed the shield wall forward a few steps.Someone in the formation shouted again: "Last warning, put down your weapons, or you will be shot to death."

"Surrender, we surrender." Someone in the team yelled first, and the men dropped their weapons one after another...

After careful interrogation, Feng Yu found out the origin of this group of people and the reason why they came here.

It turned out that they were the three sects in Dangyang area.The so-called Zongbu refers to the large and small armed separatist forces formed by clan relatives and township parties in troubled times.

Aristocratic families with imperial appointments and official backgrounds will call them sect thieves, because they often refuse to obey the control of these bureaucratic separatist forces.

Similarly, the big and small sect thieves in Jingzhou were also thorns in Liu Biao's eyes and flesh.Unless these sect thieves are eradicated, Liu Biao or the Kuai family and the Cai family will never really be able to rule Jingzhou.

Therefore, a few days ago, Liu Biao set up a Hongmen Banquet and invited more than 50 clan leaders to go to Jiangling for the banquet.

Although the Zongbu were called thieves, they didn't really want to be thieves themselves.They just want to have their place and independent space in this troubled world, just like those noble families, and at the same time recognize each other with the aristocratic families representing the imperial court or the county magistrates.

So after they received Liu Biao's invitation, they went there on time without thinking too much.After the banquet began, Liu Biao threw his cup as a sign, and a large number of knives and axes who had been ambushing rushed out, and cut off more than 50 bloody heads.

But he got away from the three clan leaders in Dangyang area.Of course, it's not that they are so skillful that they can break through the encirclement of thousands of troops.But when they entered Jiangling City, someone tipped them off and informed them of the conspiracy.They hurried back to their respective cities day and night.

Liu Biao's army followed, and they had to flee with their own clansmen.They heard that Nanyang area was the worst hit by the Yellow Turban Army and the epidemic, and there were no people in it.And it is closer to Dangyang, and it is a plain.The most important thing is that this is outside Liu Biao's sphere of influence.Then he fled to Nanyang and north.

When approaching Xiangyang, the family headed by the three families surnamed Zong Shuai thought that the abandoned city of Xiangyang was a good place to live for a long time.The spies also discovered that a Wubao had been built here, thinking that it was the location of a local sect, so they attacked this Wubao in the early hours of yesterday morning, intending to take it as their own and annex its tribe.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they fought against the people in Wubao, they would be bloody and return home defeated.Had no choice but to continue northward, looking for a new foothold.As a result, they encountered the Zhuyang Army this morning.

After listening to it, Feng Yu said in his heart: At this time, the system notification sound of mission completion came, and he had received the mission reward items in his system package.Mountain scout training has also been unlocked.

When Feng Yu was thinking about what kind of rhetoric to use to collect these people into his own trilogy, the sound of drums and horns came from the south again.He looked around, and saw countless banners and banners stretched out on the southern horizon, and another large army was rushing towards this side.

He immediately realized in his heart that it must be the pursuers from Jingzhou.Feng Yu was a little puzzled, 【It's just a few sects, all of them have been kicked out of their territory.As for mobilizing the army, is it so desperate to pursue it? 】

In a short time, the Jingzhou army came rolling in, waiting in formation thirty battles south of the camp.Together with the Zhuyang Army, these clan refugees were caught in the middle.Feng Yu estimated that the strength of the Jingzhou Army was as many as 500.

Surrounded by several cavalry captains, a cavalry flew out from the Jingzhou army.Feng Yu looked it over carefully, but he recognized that it was Kuai Yue.

Chapter 018 Confrontation

Seeing this scene, there was a slight commotion among the refugees who were caught between the two armies.

The head of the Zhu family, the Xie family, and the newly elected representatives of the Peng family were currently being questioned by Feng Yu behind the Zhuyang army formation, and there was obvious panic in their eyes.

Kuai Yue glanced at these "Zong thieves" who had already taken away their weapons and were waiting to be captured.A strange smile crept onto his face.

After tens of battles away, he clasped his hands and shouted to Feng Yu: "Marquis Zhuyang, you help Jingzhou stop these bandits. I am here to thank you for Mr. Liu."

Although he tried his best to conceal it, the tone and words in his words still carried contempt for Feng Yu.

Feng Yu pondered for a while, and also rode his horse forward, coming to Kuai Yue.He cupped his hands and said, "Prefect Kuai led his troops here to arrest these refugees? Was he ordered by Mr. Liu or came here on his own?"

Kuai Yue has now been named the prefect of Nanjun by Liu Biao, so Feng Yu called him that.

Kuai Yue heard doubts in Feng Yu's words, and said with a hint of displeasure: "Does it matter whether the envoy sends a certain person or this Lingshou comes here on his own? Is there a difference?"

Feng Yu said sternly: "Of course there is a difference. This is already the ground of Nanyang County, and the prefect Kuai is the commander of Nanjun. If you want to take people across the border, you need to inform Zhang Zifang, the prefect of Nanyang County, to comply with the court regulations."

Hearing Feng Yu's words, Kuai Yue's heart suddenly surged with anger.But his mind was still calm, and he thought to himself: 【Wait until this matter is over, there will be more opportunities to teach this kid a lesson. 】.So he didn't attack, but said coldly:

"It was Jingzhou Inspector Liu Shijun who sent the eunuch to seek the thief. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this." After he finished speaking, he took out a warrant and waved it in the air.

Feng Yu was just annoyed that the cooked duck flew away, and that has a population of nearly 2000.He hated Kuai Yue again, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and choked Kuai Yue a few words.

Of course, it is impossible for him to be so impulsive that he doesn't care about it, and immediately turned against Jingzhou.Naturally, it is impossible to actually check the warrant.

Feng Yu had no choice but to say to Kuai Yue: "In this case, then prefect Kuai please leave." After speaking, he rode back to his team.

Kuai Yue triumphantly put the warrant in his arms.He shouted loudly: "All generals, all soldiers obey the order. Swords and guns in front, bows and crossbows in the back, kill these bandits, men, women, old and young! Then cut off their heads and return to Jiangling to receive the reward."

There was a loud shout in the Jingzhou army formation, a forest of spears and knives appeared, and the crossbowmen behind were also raising their bows and holding arrows.The refugees caught between the two formations suddenly became agitated, crying in terror and cursing angrily.

Feng Yu, who was about to order the soldiers to return the Patriarchs and Sect Commanders to the Jingzhou Army, was shocked when he heard this.He never imagined that Kuai Yue would kill all these people on the spot!

The current separatist forces of all parties.As long as there is no problem with the brain, you should know that population is the most precious resource.Even if the starting point is not benevolence, righteousness and morality, but only self-interest, you will not kill indiscriminately.

Zong thieves were indeed a disaster to Liu Biao, but they only had to behead the head of the Zong Shuai, and then annex his subordinates.If all the sect thieves were exterminated, how many people would be left in Jingzhou?There is definitely something wrong here.

"Wait a minute!" Feng Yu shouted suddenly at the top of his voice.

Kuai Yue frowned and said, "What's the matter with you?"

"I don't know what crimes you said these thieves committed. But I know that many of these people are old and weak women and children. No matter what, these children who are still breastfeeding can't be guilty. Why do you want to kill them all?"

After one paragraph, Feng Yu followed up with another paragraph:

"In addition, the population of my big man is dying at the moment. How can we exterminate the population indiscriminately at this time. Some people think that Mr. Liu would not be so confused. Even if he doesn't think about the interests of the big man and only proceeds from the interests of Jingzhou, he won't be so stupid. So be it."

After Kuai Yue finished listening, he sneered a few times and responded:

"The law of the Han Dynasty, the conspiracy against the Dangyi clan, these clan thieves are all relatives and relatives, and no one is spared. As for the advantages and disadvantages of Jingzhou, I don't need to worry about it. Mind your own business. Whether they live or die, they won't be part of your Zhuyang Hou's part!"

If Feng Yu is now taking his own interests as the starting point and thinking rationally, there is really no point in going overboard with Kuai.Because since he had already planned to hand over these people to Kuai Yue, how they were dealt with had nothing to do with his own interests.

But now, in Feng Yu's thinking, benevolence and righteousness have the upper hand.The representatives of the three leaders who were kneeling in front of Feng Yuma felt as if they had found a life-saving straw after hearing Feng Yu's words.Kowtowing to Feng Yu, the three mouths said one after another:

"Master Hou, we are just in troubled times, and we have built a stronghold to protect ourselves, and have no intention of rebellion. Some rebellious actions are also forced out of helplessness."

"Yes, Lord Marquis. Even if we are guilty, the whole family will not be punished. Kuai Yue wants to kill all three of our clans for the purpose of avenging our own personal revenge. He and I have had personal grievances for over ten years, which was formed before the troubled times. gone."

"That's right, Kuai Yue is a man who must take revenge. He just wanted to avenge his personal grievances. Liu Biao killed a cadre of Zongshuai just to recruit his troops, and he didn't take any action to exterminate the clan."

In fact, this matter was indeed Kuai Yue's personal revenge, but it was also agreed by Liu Biao.Kuai Yue told Liu Biao that just killing some Zong Shuai could not completely deter these Zong clans.It takes a few thieves and three clans to establish their prestige.

Of course Liu Biao knew his true intention of avenging his personal revenge, but he thought there was some truth in what he said.Most importantly, he still needs to rely on the Kuai family.So he agreed to his plan.
