Volume 3 Chapter 34 Winter in the North
"So Shang Xiang, what are your plans now?"
Sun Shangxiang washed her hands and said, "I can stay more time when I go back to Jiangdong this time, of course, I want to accompany my mother more." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But brother, you left Mr. Lu's ship, no matter what, I have to go to Yizhou first and explain to Mr. Lu. ā
Sun Quan nodded: "It should be." ā
Sun Shangxiang added: "Brother, since you have left the ship, don't make up your mind about the Yizhou soldiers brought by Bo Yan, otherwise everyone will not look good, and you may not be able to control these Yizhou soldiers." ā
Sun Quan was speechless about this. Lu Xun's more than 3,000 people Sun Quan wants to deduct it, but can it be deducted?
Seeing Sun Shangxiang pinching his fingers there and counting the time, he nodded and said, "It should be in time!" ā
Sun Quanqi said: "What is in time? ā
Sun Shangxiang said: "Before the Chinese New Year, Lu Lan will have a New Year's concert, and I should be able to catch up." ā
āā¦ā¦ā
This so-called New Year's concert, in fact, according to Lu Ren's meaning, is the Spring Festival Gala in his hands, and it has become the most lively event in Yizhou in a few years, and it can even be said to be one of the cultural benchmarks in Yizhou. And such a grand event, of course, Sun Quan has heard of it for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things in Jiangdong, Sun Quan wouldn't be able to get out of his body at all, and Sun Quan might have secretly gone to Yizhou to take a look. Now that he suddenly heard Sun Shangxiang talk about this, Sun Quan had a vague sense of envy in his heart. In addition, there is another one, that is, Sun Quan has always wanted to see that beautiful figure again......

Youzhou, a certain outside of Beiping County.
A force of about 500 men was slowly marching. To be honest, this army is really a bit of a nonchalant army, because they are not a regular army, they can only be regarded as a wealthy tribe, but they have their own distinct banners, and they also have standard standard equipment. The appearance of the marching army is not strict, but behind the slightly loose face, there is also a strong air that has been experienced in a hundred battles.
On the banner is the word "Tian", which is clearly telling others that this branch is a subordinate of Shi Tianchou, a well-known person in Beiping. However, they had just returned from the harbor this time, and the team was full of supplies for the winter.
After Tian Chou completed the matter of helping Lao Cao to conquer Karasuma, according to the original history, Tian Chou would desperately resign Lao Cao's appointment and then move to live in the Yecheng area. However, because of the influence of Lu Ren, Tian Chou accepted a false lord, and then settled in the area of Youbeiping. And Lao Cao accepted the title because Tian Chou, so he didn't want to add an official to Tian Chou as he did in the original history, so Tian Chou was quiet in Youbeiping.
Originally, Tian Chou wanted to find an opportunity to move to Yizhou several times, but later found that his life was quite peaceful, and if he moved rashly, it might cause Lao Cao's dissatisfaction, so he stayed in Youbeiping. Of course, the connection between Tian Chou and Lu Ren is still very close. At this point, in Lu Ren's words, Tian Chou is Lu Ren's dealer on the side of Youbeiping, and every year he can use the goods produced in Yizhou to exchange for a large number of northern specialties in the Youbeiping area, which is like a good horse, a good cow and a good sheep.
The current team is the one that has completed the transaction and returned to Tian Chou with the supplies.
"Boss, this transaction is complete, can we have a few days off after returning to camp?"
The leader, who was half-leaning on horseback, laughed and scolded: "You kid are thinking about the little beauty at home, right?" You're really blessed, it's eye-catching! Last time, I also escorted the caravan with you, why did you kid save a helpless beauty by the way? ā
"Hehe, the peach blossoms can't be stopped!"
"Don't be happy, you kid, our task of escorting the goods this time is complete, but there should be several more goods to escort later. You kid don't want to think about it, aren't we all busy at this time of year? ā
"Oh-yes! It seems that I will only be able to stay with her for a few nights at most. ā
"I didn't think it was a night!"
The surrounding tribes laughed in unison, and suddenly the leader sat upright on his horse, waved his hand to stop everyone's laughter, and stared in the northeast direction. After a while, the leader hurriedly ordered: "All on alert! ā
Everyone's hearts froze, and when they looked to the northeast again, there were already bursts of dust and sand......
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
"Woohoo! Damn! ā
A person in charge wiped the sweat on his head, waved his hand to let the person in the reserve shift take over, and change himself to take a rest. After a few sips of tea in the lounge, Tian Chou entered the room and asked with a smile, "Tired?" How are you preparing for wintering this year? ā
"Sect Master, this year is not the same! Many tribes had a bad winter, so they came to us together to beg for food. ā
Tian Chou has long been accustomed to this. His prestige in the north is very high, whether it is a farming Han people or a nomadic tribe, when he feels that his winter is sad, he will come to Tianchou here to ask for a thigh. It is precisely because of this reason that within hundreds of miles around Tian Chou, the situation is still very peaceful. Occasionally, if something happens, he will come to Tian Chou to comment, and Tian Chou will handle it fairly.
"Sect Master, look at these ......"
Tian Chou was reviewing the accounts handed over by the person in charge, when suddenly an anxious shout came from the village: "Where is the sect master?" Where is the suzerain!? ā
Tian Chou's heart tightened, and he hurried out of the room and shouted, "I'm here!" Who's calling me!? ā
The horse's hooves sounded sharply, and a wounded and bloody man rushed to Tian Chou's face. As soon as the horse stopped, this song fell off the horse, Tian Chou hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you!?" ā
Bu Qu took a few breaths and said urgently: "Sect, sect master, it's not good!" I am from the ninth squad, I was ordered to go to the harbor to trade goods, the transaction has been completed, we are returning with things, on the way back, suddenly encountered a large group of alien horses, see the number of about 5,000 horses, and it seems to be coming for us! I didn't say anything when I met, and I just handed it over! ā
"What!? Where is it!? ā
"About two hundred miles to the east, to the east! The enemy was outnumbered, and the nine captains fought and retreated, and ordered me to bring a few brothers to break out of the siege and rush to the camp for help! ā
Tian Chou didn't think much about it, and called the doctor to hurry up to treat the wounds of the messenger, and asked people to ring the bell to gather people. After a short time, the more than 4,000 troops stationed in the village were assembled, and Tian Chou personally led 2,000 cavalry to the place of the incident.
The land of Pingchuan, two hundred Han miles, was about an hour or so for the galloping cavalry. It's just that when Tian Chou arrived, the battle was already nearing its end......
Five hundred versus five thousand was originally a battle with a huge disparity in strength. Moreover, most of this army was just foot soldiers, and it was a great loss to fight against the Hu cavalry in the plains. Even so, none of these 500 parts flinched, and they were still fighting desperately. Even if it is death, before you die, you have to pull a Hu rider to cushion your back.
A certain part struggled to stab the horse Hu Qi with a shot, because the force was too strong, it was too late to withdraw the gun, and the left arm was cut off by another Hu Qi who caught up. However, Hu Qi's knife had not been raised again, but he was horrified to find that the mercenary did not pay any attention to the pain of the broken arm, but abandoned the gun and slammed it into the side of his horse with all his might.
The horse fell to the ground, and the people followed suit, and the song also followed, riding on Hu Qi's body and choking Hu Qi's throat with his only remaining right hand, and twisted it hard...... It's a pity that before the mercenary's twist could exert his strength, his head had already been cut off by other Hu Qi, but the right hand that was tightly clasped in Hu Qi's throat couldn't be broken for a long time.
There was a crossbowman over there, because Hu Qi had already rushed into the formation, the bow and crossbow could not play a role, and could only draw the long knife of the body for hand-to-hand combat. The archer is not inferior to the melee soldiers, and the hand-to-hand combat is much inferior, but the crossbowman is now oblivious to the swords and spears that beckon him, one or two...... As long as it is a Hu cavalry attacking him, although he can stab and cut this crossbowman, he will also be killed by this crossbowman with a deadly fighting style, a hand, a foot, and even the hooves of the war horse under the seat.
A horseman fell off his horse because his horse's hooves were cut off, and the crossbowman, who was covered in wounds, turned his long knife upside down and tried his best to thrust into the horseman on the ground. Hu Qi's reaction was extremely fast, and he hurriedly rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding this fatal knife, and the long knife was inserted into the soil and could not be pulled out again. Hu Qi was overjoyed and was about to swing his knife to slash, but saw the crossbowman abandon the long knife and flew to Hu Qi's body.
The crossbowman has no weapon at the moment, but he has the last weapon to kill, which is the white fangs! As soon as he turned his head and bit down on Hu Qi's side carotid artery, he didn't let go, and the blood spurted out kept flowing from the corner of his mouth. Hu Qi on the side was shocked, he had seen this kind of scene again, and in horror, the spear stabbed down on the crossbowman's vest. The crossbowman still did not let go of his mouth in severe pain, but he grabbed the spear with his backhand and used the last of his strength to send it forward......
There are many, many such scenes, and the Hu cavalry who have always bullied the people who are powerless to resist are also more and more shocked. They all knew that Tian Chou's subordinates were not easy to mess with, and there were many people who had suffered big losses at Tian Chou's hands, but they were just ordinary battles, and Hu Qi slipped away when he saw that something was wrong.
The leader of the Hu cavalry understood Chinese, and shouted to the tribes who were still fighting to the death: "Listen, you are all warriors who are not afraid of death, and we have always respected warriors!" As long as you surrender now, our tribes will treat you as guests......"
Before he finished speaking, Captain Nine shouted: "Phew! You robbers have committed crimes against my Han and killed my Han people, and you are heinous! If you want us to surrender to you bandits, don't think about it! Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! Brethren, are you afraid of death!? ā
"Don't be afraid!"
Who knew that this seemingly tragic battle would often take place in the North? Especially in the depths of winter every year, this kind of thing will become more and more frequent...... (To be continued.) )
