Chapter 412: Duan Yu is furious, heads will roll! [3]
The night was quiet, with dots of stars in the sky.
Campfires were lit in the camp outside Boluo Valley.
Outside the main military tent, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu were standing on the left and right, guarding the tent door.
Suddenly.
A loud noise came from the main military tent behind them.
*Bang! *
*Boom! *
Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, having no time to think, drew their swords and rushed into the tent.
"General!"
"General!"
All the personal guards around the tent also immediately drew the swords at their waists and rushed toward the main military tent where Duan Yu was.
However, just as the personal guards were about to rush into the tent, a low and angry voice sounded from inside.
"All of you, withdraw."
Many personal guards recognized it; it was Duan Yu's voice, so they all stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.
That sound just now...
Was very unusual.
It carried a chilling feeling.
Around the tent, the soldiers closest to the tent were the young and strong men Duan Yu had brought from the village.
From the very beginning, these young men had followed Duan Yu and were incomparably familiar with and in awe of him.
It had been such a long time.
This was the first time they felt Duan Yu in the tent was so angry.
That sound just now.
It was clearly something being smashed to pieces.
Inside the tent.
Suhe, who was sitting beside Duan Yu and seeing Duan Yu angry for the first time, was also badly frightened by Duan Yu.
A table that was a full fist thick in front of him had been smashed to pieces by Duan Yu with a single slap.
Everything on the table had been overturned.
Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who rushed into the tent, looked at this scene in a daze.
First, they looked at Duan Yu, whose eyes seemed to want to eat people, and then they looked at the soldier who had just come to deliver the letter.
Just now.
A soldier who said he was from Jixian had brought a letter from Jixian.
This soldier had only been inside for a short while when this scene happened.
Duan Yu raised his eyes to look at Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu and said coldly: "Summon all the generals to the tent for a meeting."
Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who had never seen Duan Yu so angry, knew that something major must have happened.
So they did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran out of the tent to send soldiers to notify everyone.
Suhe, who was kneeling beside Duan Yu and wearing a white long dress, reacted and hurriedly moved closer to Duan Yu.
She collected the wood shavings and the overturned wine cups in front of Duan Yu.
"Husband, what happened?" Suhe said softly. "Did something happen at home?"
"Home?" Duan Yu's gaze was cold: "It is someone who does not want me to settle down in Liangzhou."
Duan Yu snatched the 'letter from home' sent by Jia Xu.
Just now, when the soldier delivering the letter said it was a letter from home from Jia Xu, Duan Yu was quite happy.
After all, he hadn't seen Dong Yi and Diao Chan for more than half a month.
Both women were pregnant, so Duan Yu naturally missed them.
But Duan Yu was also strange; since it was a letter from home, how could it be sent by Jia Xu?
He didn't know until he looked.
Only then did he realize this was not a letter from home at all.
Duan Yu shook the so-called 'letter from home' in his hand and said: "Yi'er and Chan'er had not yet arrived in Jixian when they were ambushed by the Qiang tribes in Shehu Valley."
"Fortunately, Li Jue and Guo Si discovered the Qiang tribes' movements."
"Three Qiang tribes—the Dianling Qiang, the Zhong Qiang, and the Canlang Qiang—plus the Huangzhong Righteous Followers, totaling five thousand troops, ambushed Yi'er and Chan'er and the others in Shehu Valley."
"Ah?" Suhe's face turned pale with fright upon hearing this.
Since coming all the way from the Xiongnu, Duan Yu had told her quite a bit about his family affairs regarding Dong Yi and Diao Chan.
This made Suhe familiar with Duan Yu's family.
From Duan Yu's words, Suhe could also hear Duan Yu's love for the two women.
Of course, Suhe was not jealous or envious.
Suhe grew up in a Xiongnu noble family and had known since she was a child that an excellent man could never belong to only one woman.
The more excellent the man, the more women would be around him.
Instead, after hearing Duan Yu talk about Diao Chan, she felt that Duan Yu was a man of love and righteousness.
Having a good match like Dong Yi, yet Duan Yu did not abandon his old love; this was naturally being a man of love and righteousness.
Suhe also increasingly believed that her choice was right, and she also believed that what the Xiongnu priest said when she was a child was true.
"Then... how are they?" Suhe asked cautiously.
Duan Yu shook his head and said: "They are fine."
"Li Jue and Guo Si discovered the Qiang tribes' movements and subsequently informed Jia Xu, who immediately sent people to Lintao and Jixian to ask for reinforcements."
"My father-in-law Dong Zhuo's family has quite a bit of prestige in Lintao, so they recruited three thousand troops overnight from Lintao to come to their aid."
"Jixian..."
When he said the two words "Jixian," Duan Yu's tone was clearly unkind.
"What's wrong?" Suhe seemed to have guessed something and said: "Did Jixian not send reinforcements?"
Duan Yu nodded and said: "That's not exactly it."
"Jia Xu said in the letter that the Liangzhou Inspector Liang Gu delayed on the excuse that the matter was not verified, but he did not say he wouldn't send troops."
"On the contrary, Hanyang Commandery Chief Clerk Gai Xun, Liangzhou Attendant Yang Fu, and others took hundreds of private soldiers from their clans to go to their aid."
Suhe, kneeling beside Duan Yu, reached out and gently stroked Duan Yu's back, saying: "Since the two sisters are both fine, then Husband, don't be angry."
If one were to talk about being angry.
Duan Yu was not angry at the Qiang tribes.
There was nothing to be angry about.
Jia Xu had already said in the letter that the person who planned this was named Beigong Boyu.
He knew this person.
The person who started the Liangzhou rebellion after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was Beigong Boyu.
As for why Beigong Boyu, who started the rebellion in Jincheng Commandery, would suddenly go to Hanyang Commandery and unite three Qiang tribes to intercept his family, the reason was still unknown. ===== CHAPTER 414 =====
