Three Kingdoms

Although it was already afternoon and the sun was a little westward, which was not a very good time to send troops, at the Feiqian Camp in the southwest suburbs of Anyi, after a chaotic gathering, a man who looked like a general led The large group of people left the camp and headed east, leaving only a few soldiers in the camp.

The military commander on top of the city didn't even blink, watching the group of people leaving with all his attention. When the people and horses were gone and the noise calmed down again, he turned his head and asked: "Erhei, have you counted them?" "

"What are you counting?" Erhei blinked and asked.

The military commander slapped Erhei until Erhei staggered, and said angrily: "You piece of shit! Didn't I tell you to count together!" Then he chased after him and slapped him twice to relieve his anger.

"Count! Count!" Erhei rubbed his forehead and said loudly while avoiding the military commander's slap.

The military commander stopped his hand and asked, "How much do you want to say?"

"Well... this..." Erhei scratched his head and scratched his head, holding it in for a long time, and then said, "Second uncle, you forgot! Ah... don't hit, don't hit, didn't you forget it because you hit my second uncle!" "

"You're such a coward!" The military commander chased after him and slapped Er Hei on the back of the head several times before he relieved himself and sighed: "You eat and sleep all day long, and you eat after you sleep. How can you still grow a little?" ! Let you learn to count, but you can’t use your fucking brain! If it weren’t for the sake of your dead mother, who the hell would care about you! I’ll make you mad!”

Erhei rubbed the back of his head, smiled flatteringly, and came closer: "Isn't there a second uncle here too!"

"Your second uncle is so careless!" The military commander glanced sideways at Er Hei, and finally resisted the urge to do anything. He turned around and walked down the tower, muttering as he walked, "You are a piece of shit, you are so careless." , after doing this job, and getting money, I should find you a match, it’s always easy to spread the word, why don’t you come down one day, and what will you do if you ask me to see your mother..."

Erhei followed behind with a shy face, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, I think the widow of the Guan family in Touguan Alley in the south of the city is quite good. She has a big butt, a thick waist, and big breasts. She is a good piece of land. Hey..."

The military commander said "Yeah", then slapped Erhei on the back of the head, and said angrily: "You piece of shit, have you already hooked up with me? If you don't learn some skills, you will learn quickly by climbing the wall." !”

Night fell and there was silence.

Suddenly there was a faint chaotic sound above the west city wall of Anyi. Some figures were shaking on the city wall. Then some people were placed under the city wall in hanging baskets. They quickly ran across the open space outside the city wall and disappeared into the woods beside the road. In the meantime, the city suddenly became calm again, as if nothing had happened.

After a while, a dark shadow slowly slid down from a tree near the city wall, quietly following the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road, heading towards the Feiqian camp.

Feiqian's camp is located in the southwest suburbs outside Anyi City. The front of the camp faces the official road, and a large area is opened for training soldiers. Behind the camp is a forest, within a hundred steps of the camp. The few scattered trees have been cut down, leaving only tree stumps here and there.

Because most of the soldiers had left the camp, the camp seemed unusually quiet at night.

There were only a few scattered torches in the barracks, flickering lonely in the dark night.

I don’t know if it’s because there are fewer people stationed at the camp, or if the people guarding the lookout are lazy. After the guards on the lookout went down, no one went up for a long time...

The military commander in the woods frowned, feeling something was wrong, but the empty camp gate in front of him was like a piece of delicious meat, exuding a strong temptation.

It was quiet at the back of the camp. The military commander listened carefully, but there was no sound. Then he turned to look at Erhei. He whispered in a low voice and ordered to follow me. Then he gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and half-moved. The cat got dressed, walked out of the woods, and headed towards the camp site.

Just when the Marquis and others sneaked out of the woods and walked toward the camp, they heard a loud bang inside the camp, and a fire rose into the sky, seeming to dye the night sky with blood red.

"Who the fuck set the fire?!" The military commander was a little dumbfounded. Why didn't he take action yet, and no one touched the camp, and the fire started?

Suddenly, more than a dozen torches were thrown over from the camp, illuminating the figures of the military commander and others in the open space.

In the firelight in the camp, I could vaguely see some people opening their bows. In the firelight, the cold light of the arrows was like the ferocious teeth of wild beasts.

"There's an ambush! You've fallen into a trap!" The military commander jumped up. Instead of rushing forward, he immediately grabbed Erhei, turned around and ran back, trying to hide in the woods again.

"Quick! Quick!" The military commander leaned slightly, pushing Erhei while waving the Huanshou knife behind him in an attempt to knock away the bows and arrows shot from the darkness.

Erhei, who was running, heard the military commander groan, and then felt the hand behind his back leave his back...

When he came to his senses, he suddenly looked back, and by the light of the fire, he realized that the military commander behind him had fallen to the ground, with a long pale feather on his back, just like the ones he had seen in the funeral procession before. That soul-calling rod...

"Second uncle!"

Erhei ran back, threw himself down next to the military commander, then hugged and dragged the military commander with all his strength, and staggered towards the woods. He knew that as long as he escaped into the woods, there would be basically no one around. If you chase him, you can have a way to survive.

The sound of swishing bows and arrows was like a ghost seducing the souls. Some people around him were shot and let out shrill screams and fell to the ground. Erhei didn't care about anything. He opened his mouth and gasped, like a wild dog running wildly, rushing into the woods...

In the darkness, there was a pop. Erhei didn't know whether he tripped over a tree root or a grass root under his feet. Both of them fell to the ground. Erhei didn't care about himself, and helped his second uncle up while crawling, letting him lean on him. On myself, I want my second uncle to feel more comfortable...

The military commander leaned against Erhei, took a few hard breaths, coughed up some bloody foam, lowered his head and touched his chest, looking at the arrow that had penetrated, "Erhei, I... ...Ahem, this injury is irreparable, please leave me alone and leave quickly!"

Erhei shed tears, shook his head desperately, bit his lip, but did not dare to cry, as if if he cried, his second uncle would really leave him.

"No...ahem...no..."

The military commander coughed up blood, took out a small money bag from his arms, stuffed it into Erhei's hand, and said: "Quick... hurry up, don't go back to the city... go north... and find a mountain nook." Find some Han people...ahem...just say they are escaping...from the barbarians...and don't be soldiers anymore...this...the way of the world..."

The military commander's voice became lower and lower, and he stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch Erhei for the last time, or to push him away, but when he raised his hand halfway, it dropped down weakly and hit the ground. There was a clicking sound, like something collapsed...

That year, Ma Chao was seriously ill and dying, but he was unwilling to lie in the house and insisted on setting up his bed in the open space...

I went to visit him. No matter what I said to him, he didn't listen anymore. Instead, he kept staring at the sky and seemed to be muttering, "No, no..."

I also looked up at the sky. The sky was clear and there was indeed nothing...

Later, Ma Chao left like this...

Later, I realized that Ma Chao was not actually looking at the sky...
