Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1249 Before the mourning hall

  Zhengxi cavalry followed the gap between the two camps on the left and right of Guanqiu Xing that had been opened by the explosion, and slammed into it fiercely. Swords and guns were raised together, all kinds of weapons stirred, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew across. The Guanqiu Xing soldiers, who were frightened by the explosion, had no decent resistance structure at all. They shouted and screamed one after another. The gap in the camp was further expanded, and a **** path was pierced out.

Zhang Xiu and others who rushed into the camp completely let go of their hands and feet, leading the cavalry in armor and charging all the way into the depths of Wuqiu Xing's camp, but whenever they saw Wuqiu Xing's soldiers gathering to resist, they led the troops to strangle them , After repeated plowing several times, the camp was already badly damaged. As the gate of the camp was opened by Zhengxi infantry, Guanqiu Xing's soldiers turned around and fled one after another, crying and shouting.

  Guanqiu Xing's soldiers were either cut down in the middle of the camp, or they were surrounded and chased by cavalry after they escaped from the camp, or they fell into Fenshui when they had nowhere to go, and they were taken down by Fenshui after being ups and downs.

   You must know that although this time is not severe winter, the river is still icy cold. In addition, in the north, many people have no water at all. Once they fall into the water, they will be like a weight.

Seeing this situation, Fei Qian didn't have the slightest intention to gather his troops. He continued to let his cavalry and infantry spread out to encircle Wuqiu Xing's rout. Even Fei Qian's personal guards, if not for Fei Qian With the potential responsibility in hand, maybe I can't hold back and want to rush up. Seeing that Pingyang suffered from military disasters, the city was destroyed, and after learning of Cai Yong's death, almost everyone who came from Bingbei all wanted to fight fiercely, so that this army of Wuqiu Xing , No one survived!

  In the central camp, Zheng Tai looked at Zhengxi's banner and felt cold all over his body.

In fact, for a moment before, when he looked at the walls of the camp and the soldiers and horses in the camp, he thought that he could withstand Zheng Xi's attack, at least until it got dark, at least not collapse at the first touch, but he didn't expect that, that General Zhengxi can attract thunder!

No! This is not thunder!

Zheng Tai jumped up, and when he was about to say something, he found that the soldiers of Wuqiu Xing, who were frightened by the huge explosion and ran away, naturally caused a reaction like an avalanche, and the resistance of the two camps on the left and right collapsed in an instant After going down, when Zhengxi soldiers rushed in, they didn't even have a decent resistance, and they were washed away in a blink of an eye, submerged under the Zhengxi battle flag.

   Zheng Tai yelled something, but in the noisy environment, even he himself couldn't hear what he yelled, let alone the panicked and out-of-control Wuqiu Xing soldiers...

  Under Yang Biao, such an army led by Wu Qiuxing in the Northern Expedition to Pingyang has been completely defeated so far!

  Yang's Northern Expedition, if it was considered a comedy at the beginning, it has turned into an out-and-out tragedy now!

The Yang family of Hongnong is already full of strength, united with many parties, still unable to shake the foundation of Zhengxi, if this war is over, Zhengxi is free to attack Hongnong wholeheartedly, how can it be possible to resist such a powerful, Such a fierce opponent?

  So the sky propped up by the Hongnong Yang family will collapse irreparably?

  I only hate myself for not being able to recover.

   No, in the face of such a tough soldier from Zhengxi, who can have the power to recover?

   run away...

   Anyway, it must be unstoppable, so why sit and wait for death?

...

"Mr. Zheng Lang, where do you want to go?" Guan Qiuxing's soldiers said in a ambiguous manner, and then changed his face, pointed his hand, and shouted, "Take it down!" Suddenly, several soldiers rushed up , pushing Zheng Tai to the ground with all his hands and feet.

Zheng Tai was still struggling, but he was punched in the abdomen by someone, and he curled up in pain. Then he saw his own guards were chopped down by other soldiers, and he couldn't help being shocked: " Cough cough...you...whatever you want, how dare you offend me!"

Guan Qiuxing's soldiers stepped forward and spat, too lazy to tremble with Zheng Tai, and sneered: "Idiot! If you hadn't encouraged my general, how could we have lost this way? Take him away!" Guan Qiuxing was seriously injured, even if he wanted to If you want to escape, you can't escape, so it's better to throw Zheng Tai out to survive!

  ……………

  The gate and walls of Cai’s small courtyard in Taoshan Mountain are already covered with linen to hang filial piety, and even the two lanterns at the original gate have been replaced with a pale color.

Standing in front of Cai's mansion, Fei Qian glanced at Xun Chen who was standing aside with his head bowed, without hat, paused for a while, stopped the soldiers at the gate of the courtyard who were about to report, adjusted his armor slightly, and did not speak. Instead, he lifted his foot and walked inside.

  Linghu Shao followed Fei Qian, seeing Fei sneaked into Cai's mansion while Xun Chen was still standing still, so he stepped forward and tugged Xun Chen's sleeve as a gesture. Xun Chen glanced at Linghu Shao, sighed slightly, and no longer persisted, nodded, and entered Cai's mansion with Linghu Shao.

   Before he reached the lobby, he heard a slightly sharp male voice from above the lobby: "Brother Cai is famous all over the world, and he once held an important position in the court. How can he do it so crudely! Wouldn't it make the world laugh!"

   "...uncle... this is my father's wish..."

  Cai Yan's slightly hoarse voice came softly.

"A joke! You are Brother Cai's daughter, so you should have read the Classic of Filial Piety!" The man with a sharp voice put his hat on and said, "As a child, you should be filial! How can funerals be kept simple? Also, Brother Cai He is a famous person in the world, how can he use this thin coffin? It is ridiculous! You should lead the spirit back to the hometown, and choose a day for a generous burial! Do you want to disrespect filial piety?"

In the Han Dynasty, like the pre-Qin period, most people still believed that the soul was immortal. After death, people would continue to live in another world. Therefore, in order for the deceased to still live a comfortable and stable life, not only In addition to the house structure of the living people on the tomb, a large number of items need to be buried for the dead to use in another world.

Along with the custom of offering sacrifices to ancestors, many people in the Han Dynasty believed that there were ghosts who did evil and spirits who blessed the living. Therefore, in order to seek the blessing and protection of the dead for the living, especially the blessing of the ancestors, and to further strengthen the centripetal force between clans, In particular, the Han Dynasty, which advocated filial piety and claimed to rule the world with filial piety, paid more attention to funerals.

  It was not uncommon in the Han Dynasty to go bankrupt to bury the dead old man at home, and many people even borrowed money to pay for the funeral. Just like when Fei Qian's parents were buried before, they almost spent all their family property. If Fei Qian hadn't come here through time travel, maybe they would have lost the same way.

   Fei Qian frowned, slowed down his pace, and immediately stood in the middle of the corridor.

  In the lobby, the voice of conversation came out...

"My niece doesn't dare..." Cai Yan said, "my father loves Taoshan, and has told my niece many times... If you want to put your body on this mountain, you can see spring flowers and autumn fruits on the left, and listen to the sound of books on the right, accompanied by green hills, green tiles, green leaves and red flowers. ..."

"This...Impossible!" The sharp voice of the man became even sharper, piercing the eardrums a little, "Nonsense! People of the Cai family should return to the Cai Temple! There is no reason to live outside! You don't want to be a fool!" If you make a mistake, Cai's reputation will be damaged!"

  Cai Yan's voice was not loud, but she still insisted: "This is my father's last wish, what does it have to do with Cai's reputation?"

"Heh heh heh..." The man with a sharp voice sneered and said, "It's not because you did a good thing! If you hadn't had an affair with Zhengxi, brother Cai would have suffered such a disaster! Someone who didn't punish you with the Cai family law In the face of Brother Cai, you have been taboo by the dead! How dare you be wise to someone, and talk cleverly!"

  Cai Yan was obviously stunned for a moment, "Why did uncle say that..."

  Fei Qian frowned, threw off his cloak, and strode forward, with clanging sounds between the scales and armor, which broke the tranquility of the front yard immediately.

   "Who?!" A sharp voice sounded.

   "The Great Han General is here! Hurry up and welcome!" Huang Xu shouted in a deep voice, the sound spread in the front yard, shaking the soul-calling banners in front of the hall.

The iron armor was still in place, and Fei Qian didn't even have time to wash up and take a bath. He came back here directly from the battlefield. Under his uniform, there was a heavy smell of blood, and a middle-aged man who hurriedly came to greet him almost choked. !

   "Ah, no... I owe you! I don't know that General Zhengxi of the Han Dynasty will come in person, so I will be far away to greet you..." The middle-aged man resisted the smell from Fei Qian and others, controlled the urge to turn his head and cover his nose, and stepped forward to see him.

Naturally, in the Han Dynasty, there was no perfume to cover the smell. Feiqian followed the large army, and the journey was full of dust and sweat. After a long time, it was fermented between the clothes and iron armor, and then it was inevitably contaminated with human blood and horse blood. The fishy smell, this taste should not be too sour.

Fei Qian and Huang Xu are naturally like Yu Jiu being in abalone's place, and they don't smell the smell. Anyway, most of them in the military are like this. Sometimes it's normal for them to not be able to take a bath for a month or two. They have long been used to it. Now, and Xun Chen and Linghu Shao were not purely squeamish gentry, and they would not find this smell unbearable, but for middle-aged men, the lethality is too strong, just for a while With so much effort, the middle-aged man even felt a little dizzy...

   Fei Qian didn't speak or move, and just let the middle-aged man bend down and worship there. Linghu Shao, who was following Fei Qian, also stood silently, and Xun Chen himself was being punished, so he didn't speak, let alone move, so the whole scene suddenly cooled down.

If Fei Qian didn't know the reason for the middle-aged man's visit, or didn't hear the middle-aged man's words, it would be for the sake of Cai Yong and the Cai clan to give some face, but now, Fei Qian has just finished a long journey After the battle, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, coupled with the rude words of the middle-aged man before, it made Fei Qian even more unhappy, and he didn't bother to cover it up, and just showed it.

"...This..." The middle-aged man was so embarrassed that he was dying of embarrassment, and his heart was naturally furious, but the thick and **** smell that came to his face, coupled with the official position of Zhengxi General Fei Qian, made him dare not ask Fei Qian at all. Getting angry, he could only find the steps by himself, turned his head and said to Cai Yan, "An De is rude! The nobleman is here, how can you sit comfortably? Hurry up and welcome!"

  The middle-aged man seems to be reprimanding Cai Yan, but in fact he is naturally speaking to Fei Qian. But the problem is that this is the place where Cai Yong's spirit rests. As Cai Yong's children, they should serve in front of the spirit at this time. Every time a person mourns, he must kneel and kowtow, and perform filial piety to report the funeral. How could he leave his parents behind? The undead, and then the truth of running around in the mourning hall.

  Cai Yan was naturally taken aback when he heard the words, and was at a loss for what to do.

   "Come on!"

   Fei Qian suddenly yelled violently, shaking the spirit pennant, and startled the middle-aged man. He took a step back with a pale face, and almost sat on the ground, "Bring the thief up!"

   "Wei!"

  The soldiers outside the courtyard responded, and immediately dragged a person in like a dead dog. It was Zheng Tai who was **** and gagged.

Zheng Tai's hair was disheveled, and he was as embarrassed as he wanted. He twisted his body on the ground, struggling hard, almost opening his eye sockets, and seemed to want to say something, but because he was gagged, No one could hear clearly.

Fei Qian grabbed Zheng Tai's hair and pulled it up, then pulled out the Zhongxing sword hanging from his waist, looked up at Cai Yong's coffin and said, "Master, look carefully, this is the thief who led the army to besiege the academy! Disciple is not filial. , You should use this thief's head to comfort the spirit of the master in heaven!"

After finishing speaking, Fei Qian stepped on Zheng Tai's back like killing a chicken, and with a strong hand, he tore his neck out, and then chopped off with the Zhongxing sword, cutting off Zheng Tai's neck with a "poof". Suddenly, blood sprayed forward from the throat, staining the stone steps in front of the mourning hall red, and splashed a lot on the hem of the middle-aged man's long-distance running!

   "Ahhhhh!" The middle-aged man uttered an octave-high voice, staggered a few steps back, stumbled on the steps, couldn't stand firmly, and fell on his back.

Amidst the toothache creaking sound, Fei Qian cut the Zhongxing sword into the joints of Zheng Tai's cervical vertebrae, cut off the whole head in a short while, held it **** in his hand, and put it on the stone steps in front of the hall, " Let's use this animal today, and when the master is buried, pour copper juice and cast it in front of the tomb!"

The middle-aged man was so frightened by Fei Qian's act of killing people on the spot that he couldn't get up for a long time. He just turned over and supported the stone steps in front of the hall to stand up, but suddenly saw a **** head hit his face On the side, a few drops of viscous blood splashed onto his cheeks, like a qualitative **** smell rushing towards his face, and when he met Zheng Tai's gray eyes like dead fish, which were distorted due to the pain before death, the middle-aged man suddenly Rolling his eyes, his soul flew away, and he almost passed out...
