Chapter 1364 Murder
Seeing Qu Yi''s hesitant and resentful look, Qi Zhou, who was at the side, gently led the horse, and went to Qu Yi''s side. Qi Zhou was originally engaged by Liu Yu''s subordinates. Later, Liu Yu was killed, and Qi Zhou led his soldiers to vote for Qu Yi, who had defeated Gongsun Zan. Like Qi Zhou, there are also people like Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, etc., but Xian Yufu and these people are all in the mountains and forests of Daijun. Although they are friends with Qu Yi, they don''t follow Qu Yi.
Hearing the sound of horseshoes around him, Qu Yi slightly turned his gaze to take a look, then looked back at Gao Yang, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what do you think?"
On weekdays, Qu Yi, who has always been decisive and decisive, would never ask such words, but today, for some reason, even though he has gone through everything he can think of, he still feels that he has no idea. !
Qi Zhou took a look at Qu Yi, and he had already arrived at Gaoyang City. At this time, could it be possible to turn around and go back? If you go back like this, what is it? So Qi Zhou could only think while saying: "General, Youzhou is initially settled, and the localities are not yet stable, and there are many places that need generals... Besides, if the general calls, if he refuses to see him, it will inevitably be unreasonable. Wouldn''t it be more reasonable to disobey the order...Even if we go back like this, we will send one or two people to reduce official positions and deprive the military power for the reason of disobeying the order. The hundred guards come here, even if it is not good, they can resist for a while... I heard that the two generals Yan Wen are no longer in Gaoyang, and there is no general in the army in Gaoyang, so it must not be so bad... As long as you enter the city and follow the etiquette, When the matter is over, the general will find a reason to leave first, not to stay in the city for a long time... When the time comes to leave Gaoyang, how can this general wait for me?"
Qu Yi bowed his head and thought for a moment, then looked back at his three hundred guards, who also looked at him quietly.
Damn Yan Liangwen ugly!
These two guys are actually from Jizhou, but the problem is that they were supposed to be on the side of Jizhou people, but they were bewitched by Yuan Shao and drank some ecstasy. Qu Yi and the others were also very troubled by their background in Jizhou.
Let''s talk to Yan Liangwenchou head-on, but you can''t say it. After all, the fellowship associations are all private and unofficial groups, and they can''t get on the stage. What about the tactful statement? generally.
But Yan Liangwen Chou''s absence in Gaoyang did make Qu Yi relax a little.
Qu Yi turned his head and said to Qi Zhou in a low voice: "These two damned guys, they should have cleaned up if they knew it earlier, and they wouldn''t be fighting each other like this!"
Qi Zhou didn''t answer, and he really didn''t know what to say. Qu Yi''s words were actually not very appropriate. It can be seen that Qu Yi was really a little irritable today. Such a feeling made Qi Zhou feel inexplicable It''s a little tight, but it''s just a feeling, and it''s hard to say anything, I can only quietly clenched the handle of the saber at my waist.
"Two up!" Qu Yi waved his whip and said, "Let me know!"
After finishing speaking, Qu Yi also led his troops slowly down the hillside towards Gaoyang.
When approaching Gaoyang about a thousand steps away, the gate of Gaoyang City suddenly opened wide, and there was a lot of sound of horseshoes in the city.
Qu Yi, who was waiting in silence a thousand steps away, couldn''t help but change his face when he heard the sound. Who knows what this is for? How many people in the city are going to rush out? Qu Yi looked back at the surrounding situation, only to see that the 300 soldiers under him also showed some worried expressions, and some of them had already held down the weapons at their waists! Qu Yi felt his fingers twitch, and almost wanted to draw his sword and give orders, one to defend him and the other to protect him from Gaoyang!
Qi Zhou stared straight ahead, suddenly pointed out, and shouted in a low voice: "General! It''s General Yuan who came out!"
Qu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and looked closely, and sure enough, Yuan Shao''s banner appeared at the city gate.
Since it was Yuan Shao who came out of the city in person, it is unlikely to engage in a direct confrontation. It is natural to have such a momentum. After all, when a general goes out, only three or two big cats and kittens follow, what is that like!
Qu Yi took a deep breath, understood what Qi Zhou meant, and gradually let go of the hand that was holding the handle of the knife. Since Yuan Shao came in person, it is very likely that it was just to put on airs and beat him. After all, Yuan Shao''s body is delicate, if he really wants to deal with Qu Yi, then it would be better to lie in ambush in the city, why go to a dangerous place in person?
The guard of honor of the general is really different. The flag with yellow background and red stripes is flying high, with a big word Yuan written on it. At the same time, there are seven or eight official flags guarding it on both sides, hunting together in the wind. Below the flag, there are two neat rows of armored cavalry, the yellow feathers on the hood jump up and down in the air, the iron armor reflects the cold light, and the bright red battle robes are flying, magnificent.
These hundreds of knights are obviously carefully selected strong men, with neat armor and sharp weapons. Whether they are men or horses, they are all carefully maintained. Such a collection of hundreds of elite soldiers in one place, this The surging yellow and red color is really amazing. He is strong and fierce, with an aggressive vigor, as soon as he appears, he catches people''s eyes!
Qu Yi''s face was a little pale, but he was still motionless, and the men lined up behind him were also struggling to breathe, as if they were hit by the head-on gust of wind. Although people like Qu Yi are not bad, and they would be praised in other places, but in front of Yuan Shao, who are serious and elite, they still feel a huge gap...
Yuan Shao''s elite cavalry rushed out of the city gate without stopping, pointing at Qu Yi and the others, their horseshoes pawing the ground, splashing large chunks of soil, and rushing aggressively!
Every moment passed by, Qu Yi clenched his fists tightly, his nails were almost pinched into the flesh, and the guards behind him couldn''t help but patted the horse and moved forward, the guards were behind Qu Yi''s left and right, and their breathing was also a little short , seemed to be waiting for Qu Yi''s order.
Qi Zhou was also a little uncertain at this time, frowned and said: "Well, shouldn''t this be stopped, and then wait for me to come forward, why did you rush over instead?"
Qu Yi could naturally hear Qi Zhou''s words, but now that it''s at this point, he can''t say what will happen next, but since the opposite party only dispatched the general''s ceremonial cavalry instead of a large army, then it is considered If you charge up directly, you can resist it yourself!
Two completely different voices sounded in Qu Yi''s heart, one was shouting, Yuan Shao was just probing and putting pressure, don''t be scared by him! And the other one is shouting, no, no! Quickly line up and retreat! Don''t enter Gaoyang, go away! go!
The two voices were arguing in their minds, but Qu Yi''s rationality was forcing him to stay here, and he did not give an order to retreat or resist, because as long as such an order was delivered, it would mean that Qu Yi and Yuan Shao were completely separated. There is no room for relaxation in the breakup. Qu Yi broke up with Yuan Shao without authorization when he and the Jizhou gentry Haoyou had not fully expressed their desire to fight Yuan Shao, which was undoubtedly digging a hole for himself! Even if he fled alone with his subordinates, he would completely lose his influence in Yuan Shao''s army, and he, Qu Yi, would not be able to go any further!
Time seems extremely short, but also seems extremely long.
Just when Qu Yi could still try his best to restrain his actions, but his subordinates, under the stimulation of the front of the soldiers, almost drew out their weapons, suddenly came from the oncoming cavalry of the great general. With a long sound of orders, the cavalry rushing forward slanted away a little, and began to rein in and slow down their horses. The planer flew wildly, and stopped his steps.
In the formation, Hulala made way for a passage, and the tall Yuan character banner was raised, and Yuan Shao''s figure appeared in the passage surrounded by more than a dozen guards, and then slowly came to the front of the formation.
Qu Yi at this end, as well as the guards behind him, couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Yuan Shao was just demonstrating to deter and suppress, not directly attacking!
"The general is here! Haven''t come to see you yet!"
"Ah ha ha..." Yuan Shao stretched out his hand until his subordinates shouted, pointed at Qu Yi with his horsewhip, and laughed loudly, "What''s wrong? What''s wrong with you when you see someone coming? Come and see these boys , not worse than you, General Koji, right? Hahaha..."
Qu Yi reacted suddenly, quickly slammed off his horse, took a step forward and fell to the ground, while Qu Yi''s subordinates were a little slower, but they all got off their horses and bowed down together, shouting: "See the general!"
Yuan Shao rode a horse, staggered forward, got off the horse, stood still in front of Qu Yi, then stretched out his hand to help Qu Yi up, and said with a smile: "It''s been years since I saw you." ...Well, it''s getting stronger and stronger, it seems that Youbei''s diet is pretty good..."
Qu Yi''s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put on a wry smile, cupped his hands and said, "If it wasn''t for the great general''s love, how could the last general have a peaceful and idle day? Now that Gongsun is in charge, he will inevitably relax for a while. Please punish him severely!" "
Being told by the leader that you are fat, young man, is probably not a good thing. Qu Yi is also a little embarrassed. He has expected everything, but he never thought that Yuan Shao would open his mouth and say that he is fat...
However, after such an interruption, Qu Yi''s heart also slowly relaxed. Presumably, today''s test may be passed safely!
But at this time, Qu Yi still didn''t completely lose his vigilance. He lowered his head and gave Qi Zhou a wink. After seeing Qi Zhou''s slight nod in response, he saw Qi Zhou approaching with more than a dozen guards. After a few steps, he confronted Yuan Shao''s guards far away, and he was completely relieved.
After all, Yuan Shao''s guards are nearby. If one is surrounded by Yuan Shao''s guards inadvertently, even if he is not dead, he will be half-crippled if he is surrounded by these guards. With his own guards by his side, naturally no matter how big the waves are, they will not be able to break through. up.
Yuan Shao smiled, suddenly sank his face, held the whip in his hand, and turned it up and down twice, "Heavy punishment? Didn''t General Qu do a good job? How dare you punish him?"
Qu Yi rolled his eyes, quickly knelt down on one knee, bowed down again, and said, "The last general dare not!"
"Don''t dare to do anything?" Yuan Shao stood expressionlessly, "Is it because you have not been invited to move General Qu or something? It took a long time to get here?"
"This..." Qu Yi didn''t dare to say that he sent someone to ask Tian Feng first, and only after receiving Tian Feng''s reply did he set off, "...the general doesn''t know, on this road, it is difficult to travel due to snow , so I came late... I also ask the general to come down!"
Yuan Shao turned his eyes around Qu Yi, and then turned around Qu Yi''s soldiers, and suddenly raised the horsewhip in his hand, and slapped Qu Yi!
The whip was lashed at Qu Yi''s body, and the whole audience was in awe, and there was no sound for a while.
Qu Yi bowed his head and knelt on the ground, motionless.
Yuan Shaoji pointed at Qu Yi and cursed: "It was not someone who promoted you to this point, but someone who advocated for you to lead the army. How can you be here today? I called you here to reward you, but what kind of actions are you doing?" What are you thinking? I see that you were originally a man, and I never thought that you would follow those scholars and others. What did you do? I can’t move you, General Koji? I want to see you once, but you delay arriving! What are you doing? You are a brother in the army, and you still have to be on guard against someone? Believe it or not, someone really picked you up as a general and sent you to guard the checkpoint to watch the city gate! And play tricks with someone! Why, are you a picky **** or not?"
Seeing Yuan Shao''s vulgar and vulgar curses, Qu Yi felt relieved, completely relieved, quickly bowed his head and bowed again, and said: "The last general dare not! Yi is fortunate that the general was promoted from the grass, and I am grateful to the general But the sun and the moon! It’s just, it’s just that I’ve been slack these days... I’m going to be guilty! Guilty!”
Yuan Shao snorted, and whipped again with the horsewhip, but this time the force was much lighter, "Get up!"
Qu Yi still fell to the ground: "I just ask the general to punish me severely!"
Yuan Shao looked at Qu Yi, and suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand to grab Qu Yi''s shoulder, and pulled it up, and Qu Yi stood up with the momentum, and the two faced each other. Yuan Shao was all smiles, but Qu Yi was ashamed, with a look of self-blame.
Yuan Shao laughed loudly, patted Qu Yi''s shoulder, and said, "Forget it! Since you can come, let''s forget about it... There can''t be a next time, or we will count it together! Come, let''s go to the city and talk about it! It’s up to you to put in more effort, and you can’t be slack anymore!”
Qu Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and answered, "I would like to follow the teachings of the general!"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly, and the generous and heroic look seemed to return to him. An attendant had already handed over the reins of the horse, Yuan Shao got on the horse, and Qu Yi hurried forward to lead the horse and lead the reins for Yuan Shao.
"No need, we are all brothers in the army, why is this so!" Yuan Shao laughed, tapped Qu Yi''s shoulder with a whip, pushed Qu Yi''s hand away, rejected Qu Yi''s flattery, and said, "It''s just that the city The streets are too narrow to accommodate your subordinates...You bring some meritorious people into the city with XX, and the rest of them can just camp under the city, and XX will send some cattle wine, and have a good time!"
Qu Yi hesitated for a moment.
"Reluctant to be a brother?" Yuan Shao smiled and waved his hand indifferently, saying, "You can go to the city, but you can only sleep in the street because there is no room left in the city..."
"Yes, yes... Thank you for your kindness, General!" Qu Yi hurriedly thanked him here. Without his own guards, Qu Yi didn''t know what to do. As for sleeping in the street, it didn''t matter, anyway, he wasn''t going to stay for a long time...
Yuan Shao waved his hand, did not continue to say anything, and directly led his personal guards into Gaoyang City, but the smile on his face gradually faded and turned livid when Qu Yi couldn''t see it.
This Qu Yi must be killed now!
