"Report!"

"The Xiongnu army has reached thirty miles outside Jing'an Pass!"

"Report!"

"Hu Yanliang, the general of the Xiongnu, personally led [-] troops, and they are about to approach the city!"

The urgent report from Jing'an Pass quickly spread to the city of Yuezhou. For a while, everyone in the city panicked.

"Thank you sir, is this the way you said?"

Fang Chengyu's face was ugly, and he stared at Xie Yan.

The Huns are good at fighting, and the soldiers in Yuezhou have been scared for a long time. Now when they hear that the Huns are coming, they can't even arouse their belief in fighting to the end.

He thought that his hard work over the years would be lost because of this matter, and he wished he could eat Xie Yan raw.

However, facing him, Xie Yan's handsome fair face was still indifferent, without any fluctuation due to his anger.

Seeing this, he stood up angrily.

Next, Xie Yan also stood up.

Xie Yan was tall and tall, and when he stood up, Fang Chengyu felt a great sense of oppression: "The Xiongnu just gathered an army, and we haven't lost yet. What does Fang Zhizhou want to do in such a hurry? Surrender?"

"Could you still drive back thirty thousand Huns?" Fang Chengyu laughed angrily, "Master Xie, don't forget, you only have 5 people!"

"The Huns only have 3 people." Xie Yan's voice seemed to be hidden in ice, and he slammed Fang Chengyu coldly and fiercely, "How can 5 people lose against 3 people?"

Fang Chengyu laughed suddenly: "Could it be that Mr. Xie regarded the Xiongnu army as the army of the king of Shu? Do you know that everyone in the Huns is good at fighting, and one person can defeat us..."

"Since Fang Zhizhou doesn't trust me, then he should escape from Yuezhou City like other dignitaries." Xie Yan said bluntly, not wanting to entangle Fang Chengyu any longer, "I will deal with the Huns myself."

After that, he sat down firmly.

Fang Chengyu looked at him in disbelief: "Are you crazy? If we report to Beidu Protectorate now and ask them for support, we can still keep Yuezhou! Otherwise, you and I will be sinners through the ages!"

"The sinner of the ages will only be you." Xie Yan glanced at him, and said to the officers and soldiers outside the door, "Please go back to Fang Zhizhou, order troops immediately, and go to Jing'an Pass!"

Before Fang Chengyu could finish his sentence, the soldiers blocked him with his hands.

As the person in charge of Yuezhou, Fang Chengyu was dragged out by two soldiers in embarrassment. He stood outside the station, his face flushed, half humiliated, half angry.

He never expected that Xie Yan, the new official, would be such a reckless idiot!

"My lord, the Li family has sent a message." His confidant quickly stepped forward to support him, and said in a low voice, "I want to invite you to come over to talk."

Fang Chengyu had a bad intuition and immediately walked towards Li's house.

Behind him, two figures, one fat and one thin, came out from the station, carefully followed the direction he left, and followed behind him step by step.

Inside Li's mansion, it was still orderly. Even though there was panic in the eyes of the servants, they poured tea and water in an orderly manner on their faces. Only slightly trembling fingers could reflect their mood at the moment.

Seeing the pale faces of these servant girls, Li Cheng waved his hands angrily: "Okay, go back quickly! Don't be an eyesore here!"

There were only the two of them left in the lobby.

Outside, two figures sneaked into Li's residence quietly, listening to the movement in the front hall among the flowers.

"Hu Yanliang led someone to send the news, saying that if we can rescue the third prince, we can withdraw our troops." Li Cheng slammed the table heavily and said angrily, "This thank you banquet is really unreasonable! The third prince was kidnapped and came to Yuezhou! He doesn't want to live, but I want to live!"

"Brother Fang, this matter depends on you."

As soon as Li Cheng's words fell, Fang Chengyu's face turned completely cold: "Do you think I don't want to rescue the third prince? But he was hidden by Xie Yan, and even the people in the army didn't know his whereabouts! And I saw that reckless Xie Yan still wanted to confront the Huns head-on! How could he be willing to hand over the third prince to us?"

As soon as Xie Yan was mentioned, Fang Chengyu's heart was filled with anger.

He has always shown off his amiable face in Yuezhou. Li Cheng saw his amiable appearance and was taken aback by his change of face.

"Brother Fang, are we going to escape?" Li Cheng probed, "Our Li family is fine, but you are the magistrate of Yuezhou, if the emperor finds out that you abandoned the city and fled, I'm afraid..."

"I know better than anyone else the consequences of abandoning the city and fleeing." Fang Chengyu gritted his teeth.

It was precisely because he knew that this matter would have an irreversible impact on the Fang family that he wanted to attack Xie Yan. Unexpectedly, Xie Yan was a reckless man!He actually wanted to fight head-on with the Huns army!

Because of this matter, Fang Chengyu has been anxious for several days, and now his forehead is full of red sores from getting angry.

Seeing his appearance, Li Cheng swallowed what he wanted to say halfway.

He didn't dare to persuade Fang Chengyu's appearance, it would be bad if he got burned.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng coughed a few times: "Brother Fang, think about it first. I'll go back and discuss it with my father. If you want to stay in the city, our Li family will never stand idly by."

With that said, Li Cheng put oil on his feet and slipped away.

Fang Chengyu's eyes were cold, and when he saw him leave, he snorted coldly.

The Li family are all cowards, how could he pin his hopes on them?

What's more...he can't leave Yuezhou, and no one in the Li family can escape!

In a corner where no one was paying attention, two figures quietly left.

Outside Jing'an Pass, a thousand Xiongnu cavalry were at the forefront of the army, looking at the small earthen city wall in front of them with disdain.

Hu Yanliang held up his spear and shouted: "You guys! Take Yuezhou City, let's have a good year!"

The Xiongnu cavalry raised their spears and roared loudly, and the sound spread far into the pass.

However, not a single soldier responded on the city wall of Jing'an Pass, and there was no figure of a soldier overlooking the city wall. Only the Chu flag on the city wall was swaying in the wind.

For a moment, the atmosphere of the high-spirited Xiongnu army was silent for a while.

Hu Yanliang's face was ugly. The most taboo thing in combat is low morale. Seeing the small city wall ahead, he led the cavalry to attack after some consideration.

Hu Yanliang took the lead, and his morale was revived again.

A thousand cavalry stirred up flying dust, and the yellow sand was long, covering most people's sight.

Only Hu Yanliang, who was galloping ahead, and the cavalry around him were not affected. They were bound to win Jing'an Pass and Yuezhou City!

At this time, the city gate was suddenly opened.

Hu Yanliang hastily tightened the reins and stopped in front of the city gate.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Chu people are afraid of us and want to hand over Jing'an Pass to us?"

"But why do I feel that they set up an ambush inside?"

There were chattering voices in Hu Yanliang's ears, and he only felt irritable when he heard it.

These two thoughts also popped up in his mind.

However, recalling the ambush he encountered in the sand dunes that day, he stopped at the gate of the city again, not daring to go forward.

Behind him, there were already anxious soldiers urging: "General, the Chu people are all defeated by us. They have never defeated us once. Why should we be afraid of them?"

"That's right! Why don't we just rush in and snatch all the food women! We have robbed them so many times before and they dare not pursue it. It must be the same this time!"

Cold sweat broke out on Hu Yanliang's back. He has led the army for decades, and he is no longer the stunned young man he was before. He has learned the art of war of Chu State, and knows that Jing'an Pass is by no means so easy to take with the insidiousness and cunning of the people of Chu State. down.

The Jing'an Pass in front of him was like an empty city, but Hu Yanliang still didn't dare to act.

As the emotions of the soldiers around him became more and more anxious, Hu Yanliang couldn't help the anxiety in his heart, and reprimanded the restless soldiers in a cold voice.

But at this moment, those young soldiers who had not heard the military order and wanted to take Jing'an Pass rushed into the city gate at this moment.

"Come back!" Hu Yanliang's complexion changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

But these soldiers had already rushed in. They rode around the city, and after some investigation, they returned to Hu Yanliang excitedly.

"General, there's no one inside!" They said excitedly, "Everyone has run away! Jing'an Pass is ours now!"

When Hu Yanliang heard the words, he couldn't believe it for a while.

However, there are still several soldiers in the city, shouting excitedly at him.

The vigilance in Hu Yanliang's heart disappeared after seeing this scene. He thought to himself, maybe it was the soldiers of Chu who were afraid of the Huns, so they fled quickly. The soldiers guarding the city were gone. Naturally, the Chinese also fled.

Thinking of this in his heart, the thought came to him quickly.

Since he was a child, he has envied these Chu people. They have the best and most fertile land. They don't need to follow the aquatic plants to migrate. They only need to work all year round to harvest dozens of times more food than they do.

If all the land in Chu State was owned by the Huns, they would be able to live like the people of Chu State.

As long as he thought about it this way, Hu Yanliang's heart was filled with excitement.

He led the cavalry team of 1000 men into the city gate.

But at this moment, a person who appeared from nowhere closed the city gate and jumped up the city wall very quickly.

Counted!

"Get out of town! Get out of town!"

Hu Yanliang's liver and gallbladder were torn, and he immediately commanded the army to leave.

However, the torches and kerosene that fell from the sky ignited a ferocious fire dragon at this moment, blocking their way out of Jing'an Pass, making it difficult for them to move forward.

Outside the city, groups of cavalry in black armor headed towards the infantry with a thunderous aura.

The moment the city gate was closed, through the raging flames, Hu Yanliang saw the familiar black armor. His eyes were tearing open. The nightmare that had been rooted in his heart, which had woken him up from dreams for many years, reappeared in the in front of him.

He only felt that the spear in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, making it almost impossible for him to lift it up.

"Black cavalry... this is a black cavalry!"
