~8 min read 1,503 words

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Yue Ji pretended to be calm and looked at this person, replying proudly to him:

"Not bad, this Marshal is indeed Yue Ji; who are you?"

Seeing that the other party was indeed the Qiang tribe's Great Marshal Yue Ji, the Han general captain immediately shook his expression and said loudly to him:

"This one is Zhang Cheng, a Centurion under the command of Colonel Guan Yu of the Xiliang Army."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Yue Ji was shocked; subsequently, only to see him say angrily:

"You, a mere Centurion, also dare to face this Marshal; go and call your General to come!"

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng immediately said with disdain: "Just by relying on you, you are not worthy of my General taking action; to deal with you, I am enough."

"Hahaha, this is truly ironic; to think that I, the dignified Qiang tribe Great Marshal, am actually being provoked again and again by you Han army pawns; do you really think this Marshal is easy to bully."

As the saying goes, even a clay figurine has three parts of earthiness!

Not to mention, he was still the Qiang tribe's Great Marshal; now he was actually being bullied by these Han soldiers like this; how could he endure this.

"Since you all think this Marshal is easy to bully, then all go to your deaths for this Marshal!"

Only to see Yue Ji, whose expression was somewhat manic at this moment, shout angrily at Zhang Cheng and the others, and charged toward Zhang Cheng.

"Ignorant brat, go to your death for this Marshal!"

Yue Ji shouted loudly at Zhang Cheng, and the long blade in his hand used a "Blade Splitting Mount Hua" toward him.

"Well come!"

Zhang Cheng saw Yue Ji use this move full of momentum, praised him, and blocked with the long blade in his hand.

"Clang!"

Only to see the moment the two passed each other on horseback, the sound of weapons colliding rang out; this strike was evenly matched between the two.

"The dignified Qiang tribe Great Marshal's strength is nothing more than this!"

After turning around, Zhang Cheng said lightly to Yue Ji with contempt.

"Hmph! This Marshal admits that you have some strength, but that is all!"

Facing Zhang Cheng's contempt, Yue Ji suppressed the shock in his heart and said to him in a deep voice.

"Hmph, then let this one properly witness the Marshal's strength!"

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng gave a cold snort and shouted loudly at Yue Ji.

Subsequently, he whipped his horse and charged toward Yue Ji.

Only to see the two of them coming and going, the sound of fierce fighting resonating across the field; everyone was focused on the result of the two fighting.

Soon, only to see Zhang Cheng buy a flaw, knock Yue Ji off his horse, and subsequently step forward rapidly to point his long blade at his neck.

"Come, take him!"

As Zhang Cheng's voice fell, the Han army soldiers on the side immediately stepped forward and tied Yue Ji up with five flowers.

Moreover, they didn't know where they got a piece of rag to block Yue Ji's mouth.

The soldiers didn't care how Yue Ji struggled, and he was taken away; only to see a "woo-woo" sound coming from his mouth.

After solving Yue Ji, Zhang Cheng looked at these Qiang soldiers, only to see a cold light flash in Zhang Cheng's eyes.

He said coldly to the soldiers beside him: "Kill, leave none alive!"

The Han army soldiers who had been waiting for the order launched a slaughter like hungry tigers entering a flock of sheep.

After solving the enemies before him, Zhang Cheng immediately led people toward Che Liji's palace.

At this time, Ma Chao had already arrived at the palace a step earlier, but he was still a step late.

In the palace, only some insignificant characters remained; Che Liji and his important family members, as well as Ya Dan and a group of trusted ministers, had long since disappeared without a trace.

And at this time, the Dark Guards in the city, taking advantage of the East Gate being broken, and the other city gates being weakly defended, took the opportunity to open the other three city gates together.

At this time, Linqiang City was full of shouting and killing everywhere, and those Qiang civilians living in the city were even more tightly closing their doors, hiding in their rooms and trembling, fearing that the Han army would break in and be slaughtered.

After all, they had heard that the Qiang soldiers had done such things quite often.

They even used these things as after-dinner conversation and showed them off everywhere.

So, they were afraid that these Han soldiers would treat them the same way the Qiang soldiers did.

Not to mention the fear of the Qiang civilians at this time, but at this time, Che Liji and his party were sneaking toward the North Gate.

Soon, they had bypassed the soldiers in the city and arrived under the North Gate.

"Great King, hurry out of the city; as long as we can get out of Linqiang City, we will be safe."

Only to see at this time, Ya Dan said to Che Liji in a low and anxious voice.

"Hmph, I'm afraid you have no chance to leave!"

Before Che Liji could respond, a cold snort suddenly rang out on the city tower, followed by a voice full of chill ringing in everyone's ears.

Subsequently, a large number of Han soldiers surged out from all directions.

It turned out that this was Guan Yu, who had been waiting for Che Liji at the city gates, and the sound came from the East Gate city tower.

And why didn't Guan Yu go to the palace, but instead set an ambush here.

This had to be said about the power of the Dark Guards.

As early as when Che Liji and Ya Dan and the others didn't appear to boost morale, the Dark Guards were already secretly investigating their movements.

Che Liji and Ya Dan and the others didn't know that everything they planned, they thought was seamless.

In fact, their every move was clearly monitored by the Dark Guards.

This was also the reason why Guan Yu didn't go to the palace, but instead waited at the East Gate.

Seeing the Han army surrounding them from all directions, Che Liji asked the Prime Minister Ya Dan in terror:

"Prime Minister, what should we do; this King doesn't want to die!"

And at this time, Ya Dan also looked at the suddenly appearing Han army with a pale face, and for Che Liji's words, he turned a deaf ear.

Only to see at this time, the 1,000 elite soldiers led by Che Liji were protecting him and Ya Dan in the middle, looking at Guan Yu and the others with terrified expressions.

Because they were too afraid, even the weapons pointing at Guan Yu and the others were somewhat trembling.

"You are Che Liji and Ya Dan and the others?"

Only to see Guan Yu slowly walk out from behind, arrive before the Qiang soldiers, and look at Che Liji and Ya Dan and the others who were surrounded, asking.

Looking at Guan Yu's majestic body and powerful momentum, Che Liji immediately said to Guan Yu tremblingly:

"This General, this King is indeed Che Liji; this King is willing to surrender to the Great Han, I hope the General will spare this King's life."

Watching Che Liji, who was looking at him with a terrified expression and a face full of fear, Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

And at this time, Che Liji, who was carefully watching Guan Yu's expression, saw Guan Yu's expression and was immediately scared out of his wits.

He immediately knelt to Guan Yu.

One must know that this black, overwhelming mass of people around him were all Han soldiers, and there were at least ten thousand of them.

At this time, their lives were all in the hands of this red-faced, long-bearded general before him.

If the other party was unhappy, they could definitely kill them in minutes.

Watching Che Liji's appearance, Guan Yu only felt a sense of disappointment.

So, Che Liji, as the Qiang tribe's Great King, was actually such a person who was afraid of death and fled in the face of battle.

Guan Yu immediately lost interest in him, waved his hand at the great army behind him, and said in a flat tone:

"Take Che Liji and Ya Dan into custody, and hand them over to His Majesty for disposal later; as for the others, leave none alive!"

"Kill!"

The great army that received the order immediately charged toward Che Liji and the others.

"Finished!"

"General, spare our lives! We surrender!"

Watching the charging Han army, Che Liji and the others were completely desperate and shouted to Guan Yu with all their might.
