Chapter 108: The End of Che Liji
Following Guan Yu's order, the Han soldiers rushed toward them instantly.
The family members brought by Che Liji and Ya Dan and the one thousand Qiang soldiers soon fell into a pool of blood.
And he himself and Prime Minister Ya Dan were also captured by the Han army.
At this time, both of them were full of horror, and after being blocked by the Han army, they were tied up with five flowers.
"You guard the city gate well, remember, not a single person can be let out!"
After Che Liji and Ya Dan were taken away, Guan Yu said solemnly to one of the teams.
"This subordinate obeys the order, please rest assured, General, this subordinate guarantees that not a single person will be let out of the city!"
The centurion who received the military order immediately guaranteed loudly to Guan Yu with a solemn face.
Hearing this, Guan Yu stroked his long beard and nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone else, follow this General to the palace!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Guan Yu led the remaining troops and killed toward Che Liji's palace quickly.
After nearly an hour of fighting, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Pang De and the others successfully gathered at Che Liji's palace.
"Father, here, a centurion named Zhang Cheng captured Yue Ji alive."
At this time, after everyone was seated, Ma Chao couldn't wait to say to Ma Teng.
"Good, this time, being able to capture Yue Ji alive, you and Zhang Cheng have made a great contribution; after returning to Wuwei, this General will report to His Majesty and ask for credit for you."
Ma Teng heard this and said to Ma Chao with great joy.
And Ma Chao, after hearing this, was also happy.
Although this Yue Ji was not captured alive by his own hands, his subordinates could capture Yue Ji alive, and he also had a share of the credit.
Subsequently, Ma Teng looked at Guan Yu and asked him:
"General Guan, have Che Liji and Ya Dan been captured?"
Ma Teng had already learned from the Shadow Guards that Che Liji wanted to escape from the North Gate with Ya Dan and a group of trusted ministers when he arrived at the palace.
And the North Gate was responsible by Guan Yu, so only Guan Yu knew about Che Liji's whereabouts.
Hearing Ma Teng's inquiry, Guan Yu immediately replied to him: "General, this time it is really thanks to the Shadow Guards' intelligence."
Guan Yu first praised the Shadow Guards to Ma Teng, and then replied to him:
"I followed the Shadow Guards' intelligence and set an ambush at the East Gate to wait for Che Liji and the others; sure enough, they wanted to break out from the East Gate."
"Che Liji and Ya Dan have been captured by me, and the family members and soldiers he led were slaughtered on the spot."
Guan Yu first stroked his long beard and said excitedly to Ma Teng and the others.
"Good!"
"In this way, Che Liji and his important trusted aides have all been captured alive by us."
"If His Majesty knows this news, he will definitely be overjoyed!"
Hearing that Che Liji and Ya Dan were captured alive by Guan Yu, Ma Teng said excitedly to everyone.
As Ma Teng's excited voice fell, Pang De on the side was also happy:
"The General is absolutely right; we were able to capture Che Liji and Ya Dan and the others so easily; after His Majesty knows, he will definitely be happy!"
And Ma Chao and Zhang Fei and the others also looked at Ma Teng with joy and echoed happily:
"Indeed! Being able to capture the Qiang King Che Liji alive is a huge contribution!"
"Hahahaha, as expected of my Second Brother, he is truly powerful!"
Looking at everyone's happy appearance, Guan Yu touched his long beard unconsciously and looked at everyone with a smile.
And Ma Teng, looking at everyone's appearance at this time, also nodded repeatedly.
Subsequently, he saw his expression shock, interrupted the happy crowd, and said solemnly to them:
"Everyone, since Che Liji and the others have been dealt with, there are still many Qiang soldiers in Linqiang City who have not been cleaned up."
Speaking of this, Ma Teng scanned everyone with majestic eyes and said loudly:
"This General decides to arrange for the army to clean up the Qiang soldiers in the city overnight."
"Except for the personnel who must guard the city, everyone else will be dispatched, and they must clean up the Qiang soldiers before dawn."
As Ma Teng's voice fell, everyone's expression became serious, and they shouted loudly to Ma Teng solemnly:
"This General obeys the order!"
Looking at the high-spirited crowd, Ma Teng nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone, set off as soon as possible!"
Seeing Ma Teng give the order to set off, everyone immediately cupped their fists and shouted to him:
"This General obeys the order!"
Subsequently, everyone left quickly.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night.
In Linqiang City, from time to time, the sound of fighting and screaming would ring out, and it didn't calm down until dawn.
And the Qiang people living in Linqiang City also spent a whole night in fear.
Early the next morning, the streets of Linqiang City, which had experienced a night of war, had been cleaned up by the Han soldiers.
If it weren't for the fighting and the screams of the Qiang soldiers that came from time to time at night, it would be hard to see that this was a street after a great battle.
"All Qiang people, come out and gather!"
Just when the Qiang people were worried about how the Han army would treat them, the shouting of the Han army rang out outside.
And hearing this, the Qiang people were full of fear.
They all hid in their houses, shivering and not daring to go out.
The Han army told them to go out and gather; they didn't know how they would treat them.
Could it be that they would gather them together and kill them all!
Thinking of this, the fear in their hearts became stronger, and many people began to panic and look for places to hide.
The soldier shouting outside, seeing that no one came out for a long time, was suddenly angry.
"Qiang people of Linqiang City, you are limited to come out within one stick of incense, otherwise, the soldiers of my Great Han Empire will search house by house."
"Once we find you, we will kill without mercy!"
"Don't worry, if we want to kill you, it's useless for you to hide!"
Seeing that the Qiang people didn't come out, the soldier shouting outside continued to shout at them.
Hearing the Han soldier's words, some who were slightly bolder gathered their courage and opened the door and walked out.
After all, these Han soldiers were right; if these Han soldiers wanted to kill them.
Even if they hid, they would be found, so it was better to go out and see what these Han soldiers wanted to do.
Those who took the lead in coming out saw that these Han soldiers were just gathering them together.
There was no intention to be unfavorable to them, and those who were watching from behind came out one after another.
When these Qiang people had almost all come out, the Han soldier who had shouted earlier scanned them with sharp eyes.
Immediately after, his majestic voice rang out.
"I will say it one last time, is there anyone who hasn't come out, I will give you another quarter of an hour."
"After a quarter of an hour, we will search every house, and once found, kill without mercy!"
After the Han soldier finished saying the three words "kill without mercy", those who gathered together only felt a chill strike. ===== CHAPTER 109 =====
