Chapter Seventy-Three: The County of Xi'e

After a while, Qiu Ming said loudly: "Zhonglang, this woman can't be killed." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhu Jun was worried that he couldn't get off the stage, and his eyes lit up and said, "Why can't you kill it?" ”

"Judging from Qiu Ming, this woman seems to be pregnant, and the killing is unknown." Zhu Jun reluctantly withdrew the gaze cast on Du's face and looked down, only to see that the woman's lower abdomen was bulging, and she was obviously several months pregnant.

Everyone is in a cold sweat, for these professional soldiers, killing people is not terrible, killing women is not terrible, but killing pregnant women is taboo, one corpse and two lives are damaged Yin morality, and they will be punished.

Qiu Ming continued: "And what the Du family is pregnant with is the flesh and blood of the Qin prince, even if the Du family is guilty, the Qin family's blood is innocent, so it can't be killed." ”

Qin Jie bowed down and said, "The Qin family has been passed down for several generations, and I also asked Zhonglang Gaotai to let go of the child in the belly of the Du family." ”

Zhu Jun thought for a while: "God has the virtue of a good life, and I should also be gracious outside the law, Qin Duwei, please bring the Du family home to discipline the good life, and do not make the life revenge, and there must be no more betrayal of the law of the country." Qin Jie promised.

Qin Yi angrily broke free from Cheng Pu Handang's entanglement, and ran to his wife in a few steps to help her up. Although Du escaped death, he destroyed his family and wiped out his family, and his old father couldn't help crying bitterly in front of his corpse. The surrounding daughters of the Du family also crowded into the circle to identify their own bodies, and the crying in front of the Taishou Mansion shook the sky, making people cry when they heard it, but Zhu Jun only looked at it coldly and was unmoved.

Du Shi cried for a while, got up and walked to Guan Yu, Ying Ying bowed down and said, "Concubine thank General Guan for saving his life." Guan Yu's face was red and purple swollen like an eggplant, and he picked up Du Shi with the knife shaft and said: "The road is uneven, Guan should draw a knife to help, and Mrs. Qin doesn't have to make this big gift." ”

Du Shi looked at Guan Yu, then at Qin Yi beside him, and cried again. hated that he didn't do anything more back then, only because Qin Yi was young, handsome, and had a good family background to commit himself to him, but he didn't expect it to be such a useless embroidered pillow. Now that I think about it, a hero like Guan Yu is a good match for me, and I heard that Gan Ning, who my father chose for himself, is also a hero, if he is his husband, how can he show up and suffer humiliation today. Alas, I only blame myself for being blind and abrupt as a hero, and now I regret it too late.

Thinking of the sadness, Du Shi cried loudly, Qin Yi thought that she was mourning her father, so she only persuaded her with warm words.

After the Du family was disposed of, the generals returned to the Taishou Mansion to discuss the aftermath, Zhu Jun said: "Now Wancheng has been broken, Nanyang Yellow Turban can be peaceful, the Son of Heaven is very lucky, and the country is very lucky." This battle is all thanks to the generals who fought to kill the enemy, and I should be the court, and Chen said that the merits of all the kings should be rewarded. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and they arranged a banquet in the house and toasted Zhu Jun together. When the wine was half-drunk, Zu Mao hurriedly entered the banquet and whispered a few words to Sun Jian, Sun Jian's face changed greatly, and he walked to Qiu Ming's side and pulled Qiu Ming to speak.

Zhu Jun saw it and smiled: "Sun Wentai and Qiu Zecheng have something to say, and tell the old man about it." ”

Sun Jian said in fear: "Yu Zhonglang, the last general has just received the news that Sun Xia, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, has gathered the defeated troops and gone west, and has now captured the county town of Xi'e. This person is scheming, and he is really a great enemy, so he must be cleared out as soon as possible. ”

Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao said slightly drunk: "It's just a remnant of the Yellow Turban, what's so scary?" Wentai first drank the wine in the toast and then reasoned. ”

Sun Jian and this top boss have always been a little bit at odds, and at this moment, Sun Xia's matter is really trivial to him, once the news is revealed, his best fate is to be like the Du family. In a hurry, Sun Jian jumped up: "Sun Xia is cunning and resourceful, if he is allowed to develop, it will inevitably cause a big disaster, and Sun will not dare to abolish the public for personal reasons." ”

Zhang Chao was dismissed by his subordinates, and he started with the strength of wine: "Sun Wentai is saying that I abolished my public because of private affairs?" ”

Seeing that there was suddenly some tension on the banquet, Qiu Ming hurriedly stood up: "Both of them are pillars of the imperial court, why quarrel over this trivial matter." In the boy's opinion, Western Hubei must not be appeased, Sun Xia must not be removed, Qiu Ming is willing to go to the Jingshan Mountain of Western Hubei with General Sun to conquer Sun Xia. ”

Ever since Zhang Fei said what happened in the military tent last night, Liu Bei has always suspected that there was some ulterior detribution between Qiu Ming and Sun Jian, and he thought to himself that this Wancheng meritorious service was definitely not as big as Qiu Ming, how could he let go of this meritorious service opportunity, and he also proposed to go together. Zhu Jun was overjoyed.

Sun Jian hung up and went out of the city, looking at Liu Bei beside him who was indescribably crooked. It is enough to be worried that his handle is held by Qiu Ming alone, if there is one more Liu Da Ear who seems to be loyal and treacherous, he is only afraid of another peaceful day in this life. However, Zhang Er will follow him, and he didn't dare to do anything to Liu Bei, so he had to treat him as nothing, but turned his face to ask Qiu Ming: "How do you think you should act for this?" ”

Qiu Ming thought for a while and said, "Does General Sun know the terrain of Western Hubei?" Sun Jian shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Qiuming came to ask Wei Yan again, and Wei Yan said: "Xi'e County is bordered by Nanzhao in the north and Dengzhou in the south, and it is a place surrounded by mountains. It seems that Xi'e Jing Mountain is in the northwest of the county, the mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I haven't been there, so I dare not say more. ”

Qiu Ming said: "In this case, I might as well go to Xi'e County first and then make a decision." Sun Jian nodded yes.

Along the way to the west, I saw many refugees who escaped from Xi'e, saying that the yellow turbans were brutal, and a small official who looked like a husband also cried that the county commander had died in battle, and the grain and straw in the city were swept away. Qiu Ming saw that the little official was also articulate, and asked, "What's your name?" Our army is going to exterminate the Yellow Turbans today, do you dare to lead the way? ”

The little official said excitedly: "The villain Chen Zhen is willing to serve the general." ”

When he arrived at the county seat, Guo Jia called the whole army, first stood on the horse and looked at it, and then dismounted and looked on the ground. Qiu Ming smiled: "Are you learning from Cao Di's polemics?" Guo Jia said: "Sun Xia has suffered a defeat, and he will definitely retaliate with a strategy." He drove all the inhabitants out of the city, and he himself was not stationed in the city, and most of them were trapped. ”

Zhang Fei said impatiently: "What trap? The low walls of this small county town are broken, the city gate is still wide open, and there are no ambushes to see at a glance. ”

Guo Jia didn't argue with him, but only said to Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, what do you look at in the northwest direction?" ”

Huang Zhong looked far away: "There is a fruit forest, wait, there seem to be some figures in the forest." ”

Without waiting for Sun Jian to speak, Cheng Puhan rode out early, and there were originally more than 100 yellow turbans in the forest, but seeing that the traces were exposed, he hurriedly got on his horse and fled.
