This Dong was indeed ruthless.
The Qiang nobles lowered their heads and tried their best to hide their twisted expressions.
Xie Lige looked at the Qiang people kneeling down in expensive clothes.
He guessed that the other party might be a noble of the Qiang tribe.
He only smiled when the other party said that they would submit to the Han Dynasty.
Conquering the border was something that the emperor considered.
He was just a general guarding the border city.
Submit?
The Bai Qiang was fine, but not the Ah Gou Qiang.
He would never forget the invading foreign tribes.
That's right.
In Xie Lige's opinion, as long as they invaded Liangzhou, whether it was once or countless times,
These people were foreign tribes that did not need to be merciful.
Seeing that his words did not have any effect, Xie Lige did not seem to be moved at all.
The Qiang nobles could not help but feel anxious. One of them raised his head and looked in the direction of Xie Lige.
Xie Lige was dismounting from his horse.
He put down his swords and shields. Some of the Qiang nobles suppressed their twisted expressions and did not make a sound.
They were afraid that Xie Lige would find out.
Their hands were twisted behind their backs.
They knelt on the ground with the Cangyun Army soldiers behind them.
Xie Lige completely ignored them. He looked at the tent not far away and walked over. Before he left, he threw out a sentence.
"Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Cangyun Army soldier slashed down with his modao.
"Wait.
You can't kill me! "The unlucky Qiang noble had never faced death so head-on before.
He was scared out of his wits. There was a foul smell between his legs. When he looked carefully, he was so scared that he wet himself.
Xie Lige ignored him and didn't even look at him for long.
He walked to the top of a small hill and looked around. He saw a few figures coming over from the tent not far away. He narrowed his eyes and looked without moving. He immediately guessed who they were.
Those figures came over very quickly.
The modao reflected a snow-white light under the moonlight, making people tremble in fear. With a flash of light, the arrogant Qiang noble's head fell to the ground.
Blood gushed out from the severed neck and splattered on the grass on the ground.
"No!!!!" the Qiang Tribe general screamed at the top of his lungs when he saw this.
The Qiang people behind him had the same expression when they saw the tragic death of this person. They called out, "Your Highness."
It seemed that he had killed a prince this time.
When Xie Lige heard this, he thought indifferently. He did not order the Cangyun Army behind him to stop.
The black-armoured Cangyun Army brought the captured Qiang people to Xie Lige, forcing these pampered nobles to kneel and sending them to hell.
"Dong Zhuo!"
"What do you think?"
Xie Lige ignored the people who came over. He disdainfully ignored their resentful gazes and said coldly, "I already said that the Qiang people are not allowed to appear in Liangzhou City."
He had led the Cangyun Army here not only to save Lü Bu, but also because winter was coming to an end. This was the most crucial period of the entire winter. The foreign tribes outside the city probably did not have much food left. Xie Lige had brought his troops here to make an example out of them.
He wanted to use his actions to clearly tell the foreign tribes outside Liangzhou City that if anyone dared to have any ideas about Liangzhou City, he would not rest until he was dead.
Xie Lige did not care about the Qiang people in front of him. He placed his modao on the ground and said coldly, "Kill them."
The Cangyun Army, who had been waiting on the side, surged forward. The swords and shields in their hands emitted a black murderous aura. They ignored the fact that cavalry countered infantry and used their black-iron shields to block the attacks from the curved swords.
The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out when the weapons hit the sturdy gilded shields.
The Cangyun soldiers expressionlessly struck the hooves of the horses with the backs of their sabers. The horses neighed, and their upper bodies fell forward. The Qiang tribesmen sitting on them could not escape the fate of death.
After killing all of them, Xie Lige did not get on his horse. With one sword and one shield, he led the thousands of black-armored and white-feathered Cangyun Army towards the area occupied by the Qiang people.
That was the Agou Qiang tribe's encampment.
The outside was surrounded by a huge slope. The tents were surrounded by a few railings made of tree trunks. Behind the railings were some sheep and unkempt people.
They were naked in the sheep pen. Their eyes were deep, and it was obvious that they were not Han people.
When Xie Lige saw this, he had no intention of saving these sheep slaves. His gaze landed on the quiet and beautiful tents.
He was even more determined to destroy this Qiang tribe. Wild ambitions would cause endless trouble.
This was his mistake from the last time.
Sheep slaves were a term that everyone was familiar with. It was a term that the foreign tribes used to refer to the slaves that they had defeated and captured. Sheep slaves could only do the dirty work for their entire lives. The whips behind them would not stop lashing out. They ate and lived in the sheep pen.
Before Xie Lige came, many tribes outside of Liangzhou City used the Han people as sheep slaves. Dong Zhuo's repeated warnings were useless. Just as they were about to attack, Xie Lige came. At that time, he had to familiarize himself with the use of rage points, and ran out of the city alone.
In three days, he wiped out three tribes. Not a single person survived. After doing all this, Xie Lige ordered his subordinates to tell the tribes outside of Liangzhou City. He used force to force these words into the minds of the various tribes. Whoever dared to use the Han people as sheep slaves, he, Dong Zhuo, would destroy their nest.
This Qiang tribe was one of the tribes that had been notified the last time. Who would have thought that they would release the Han people in the sheep pen out of fear of Xie Lige's ferocious reputation? Instead, they turned to rob other tribes of other tribes.
"The Han people are attacking."
At the same time, the Qiang people in the small tents beside the Qiang tribe were completely flustered. When they saw the "Dong" flag in the darkness, their hearts were filled with despair.
They knew that it meant that Dong Zhuo had appeared in this army.
"It's the Cangyun Army!"
"They killed all the soldiers that went to save the prince."
"Run, I see them coming here with the heads of the Qiang warriors."
… … …
Many commoners and Qiang people were fleeing in all directions from all the tents. They looked fiercely at the Cang Yun Army who was walking over step by step.
"The Dong army is attacking." Hearing the shouts and curses outside, the general in the middle tent said calmly.
"Shut up!"
The Qiang official tried his best to hide the panic in his heart. He forced himself to be calm, but his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts. He couldn't help but look at the entrance of the tent.
After some time, it was still silent outside the tent.
The Qiang official pointed at the unconscious Lü Bu and said to the Qiang general through gritted teeth, "Go and capture that child."
"Yes!"
The Qiang general immediately went forward. Just as he was about to grab the Lü Bu, he suddenly met a pair of clear eyes. The Lü Bu kicked up and kicked the general in the stomach, forcing him back more than three feet. It was because of this that he had the chance to escape the attack.
The Qiang general retreated a few steps in pain, feeling as if something heavy had kicked him in the stomach, causing him to almost vomit out the contents of his stomach.
"You're actually awake!"
The Qiang official also noticed the abnormality here. How could he not know that he had been tricked? The child had probably woken up a long time ago.
The Lü Bu's face was expressionless as he mocked, "Idiot."
His hands were tied behind his back, and he could not move. Fortunately, his feet were nimble, and he quickly dodged another attack from the Qiang general.
When the Qiang official heard the Lü Bu's disdainful words, he thought that the latter was mocking him on purpose. He was furious and lost his cool. He must teach this arrogant fellow a lesson. He did not care about thinking of a way to intercept the Lü Bu with the Qiang general.
The Lü Bu could deal with one person, but with the addition of the Qiang official, the Lü Bu would have some difficulty dealing with two cunning adults.
He looked up and began to look for a place to escape. He could not help but glance at the entrance of the tent. He gritted his teeth and was about to break through when the Qiang official knew what he was planning to do. He quickly stopped him. "Catch him, this guy is trying to escape!"
Once he escaped, he would no longer have the backing to challenge the Dong family.
The Qiang general's expression changed. He immediately remembered his plan with Xianbei and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the Lü Bu. Just as his right hand was about to grab the latter's clothes, a confident smile appeared on his face.
He was determined to catch this child.
Boom!
A black gilded shield suddenly flew in from the entrance of the tent. The shield seemed to weigh several dozen kilograms and was covered in countless scars. It was filled with a thick aura of blood and evil. It directly broke the Qiang general's hand that was reaching for the Lü Bu.
A cold voice came from the entrance. "Say it again, who are you trying to catch?"
Hearing this voice, everyone present could not help but stiffen. The Qiang general could not care less about his hand that was about to be broken. His face was filled with madness. He was so close to catching this child.
Just as he was about to make another move, Ye Zichen's expression changed.
Lü Bu had already taken advantage of the moment when the shield hit him and successfully escaped. He stood up with great difficulty. His eyes lit up as he looked at the figure at the entrance of the tent. He called out happily, "Godfather!"
The curtain at the entrance of the tent was pulled open. A general in black armor stood at the entrance. Behind him was the starry sky. He looked at the Qiang leader with a murderous expression and spoke in a cold tone.
"Dong Zhuo!"
The Qiang minister was so angry that he was trembling all over. He did not expect that this person would actually do as he said and attack the Qiang tribe. He even understood what it meant when this person appeared outside his tent. His people had all been killed.
