The phoenix fledglings go north.
Gu Qing did not know.
In his memories, the mastermind of the Three Kingdoms Era was still young, so he naturally did not recommend Cao Cao.
Moreover, he had already put all his energy into the three assistants.
In the camp of Di County.
In a military tent.
Wu Xi looked warily at the two people in front of him and warned: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come?"
Zhang Heng's eyes were filled with ridicule!
Wu Xi said helplessly," In the past few days, the general is going to attack Chang 'an. In the past, both of us had sought the help of General Zhongming. If Guo Si finds you here, you won't be able to leave the camp easily!"”
"I know!"
"I'm here for the Imperial Court!" Zhang Heng explained.”
"Imperial court?"
Wu Xi's eyes were filled with doubt.
Ever since Dong Zhuo had taken over, the Dragon Legion Border Guards had been removed from the list, leaving only the Dragon Legion Battalion!
For people like them, speaking from the standpoint of the Imperial Court was simply a joke!
"Wu Xi!"
Zhang Heng raised his head and said solemnly," Cao Mengde has been appointed Sikong. The Emperor has established a new capital in Xuchang, Yingchuan. There are angels holding the talisman to supervise the military. He promised to restore the name of the Longxiang Border Guards and will also clear our past sins!”
"Are you crazy?"
"Could it be that General Zhong Ming also believed it?" Wu Xi said in disbelief.”
Zhang Heng pointed at Cao Zhen and said in a deep voice," This is the son of Sikong Cao. The Military Governor asked me to bring him here. In two days, the Military Governor and General will lead the army to Lantian. If you are willing to submit to the court, you will not be punished for your past crimes. You can still be a Longxiang Army border guard lieutenant!"”
"Really?"
Wu Xi said nervously!
Zhang Heng smiled indifferently and said," You, me, Liang Xing, General Zhongming, Jia Wenhe, Zhang Ji, we are all from Wuwei. You and I are from the same hometown. In the past, you were my centurion. Is there a need to lie to you? If I lied to you, how would I explain to the villagers when I have the chance to return to Wuwei? Could it be that I harmed Brother Wu for someone else?”
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Wu Xi clenched his fists until they turned white.
A series of crackling sounds came from between his fingers!
"Wu Xi!"
Zhang Heng said again," The Military Governor is not simple. He is an angel and he has Sikong Cao's talisman. You and I have been in Chang 'an for so many years, so we should know what Sikong's talisman represents. Don't you want to go back to Wuwei and stand in front of the villagers and tell them that you are a lieutenant of the Dragon Xiang Border Guards?"”
"Me!"
Wu Xi's eyes instantly reddened.
"Brother Wu!"
Zhang Heng's voice was a little choked as he asked,"Why did we join the border garrison back then?”
"I didn't forget!"
"I have never forgotten!"
Wu Xi turned his head to look outside the tent and said hoarsely!
"You forgot!"
"I forgot that loyalty is buried in the yellow sand of Liangzhou!”
"Have you forgotten that nine out of ten Liangzhou citizens have gone to the Xiang Dragon?”
"Have you forgotten that we were recruited as the Dragon Xiang Border Guards? The villagers wore white silk and walked ten miles of yellow sand, knocking on the door from house to house!”
"They exchanged millet for hoes and harrows from their neighbors 'homes in order to forge two sets of border armor and spears to protect us on the battlefield!”
"I also forgot that on the day we joined the army, we made a promise in front of hundreds of villagers. One day, as the Dragon General, we would recover the three prefectures of Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Dunhuang that had fallen from Liangzhou.”
The veins on Zhang Heng's neck were bulging, and his words were filled with shocking anger!
Wu Xi closed his eyes and said sternly,"We can no longer return to Wuwei. The Dragon Xiang Border Guards have completely disappeared!"”
"Clang!"
A crisp sound rang out!
A Zhanmadao covered in holes was handed to Wu Xi.
Zhang Heng held his forearm and said hoarsely,"The world has not changed. Liangzhou is still empty, the Qiang Hu and Xiongnu are still spying on the border, the three counties and eight hundred miles of yellow sand have not been recovered, and the Dragon Xiang Army has returned!”
"We have no choice!"
Wu Xi gripped his Zhanmadao and said in a hoarse voice!
"I didn't have a choice in the past!"
"The emperor appointed Dong Zhuo as the Liangzhou Prefecture Overseer. We have fought for many years and have made great contributions!”
"With just a military order, he dragged us into the Central Plains and made us the Western Liang cavalry that everyone in the world criticized, the rebels of the Han Dynasty!”
"But things are different now. I'm a deputy general, and you're a lieutenant. We can choose to rebuild the Dragon Xiang Army and return to Wuwei with honor. Guo Si and Li Jue are just commanders brought by Dong Zhuo.”
"Otherwise, you can kill me with your Zhanmadao today!”
"Wuwei Zhang Heng is not willing to bear the reputation, and he is even more unwilling to return to the village elder with a skeleton!”
Zhang Heng raised Wu Xi's arm, and the jagged but still cold Zhanmadao instantly pierced through the skin of Wu Xi's neck.
Drip! Drip!
Drip! Drip!
Drip! Drip!
Fresh blood dripped onto their iron wrist guards.
In an instant, scarlet blood flowed into the ravines!
Wu Xi's body was trembling, because each of these deep marks was the mark left behind by the Qiang Hu scimitar!
