Chapter 186: The Four Heavenly Kings of Xiliang
"Hahaha, the little girl knows a lot. It's a pity that you don't have a chance."
With a burst of arrogant laughter, a group of troops dressed as bandits appeared not far away.
"Geng Liang, it's you!" Zhang said hatefully, but she was desperate in her heart. The person who appeared before her was the younger brother of the head of the Geng family, who was known for his bravery and was very famous in Hebei.
"Kill them. Leave no male alive and take all the women. I said that you were making a fuss out of nothing, but I didn't expect there were any remnants left." Geng Liang smiled and ran straight to Zhang. Zhang was a great beauty and he wanted to capture her himself.
Zhang's face was a little pale. He regretted not leaving with Li Ru just now. Now he ended up like this.
"Get ready!" Just when Zhang was in despair, a loud voice rang out.
Zhang looked at the advance team left behind by Li Ru with a strange expression. There were thousands of people on the opposite side. It was a pity for these brave warriors that they had to set out on the journey with the Zhen family.
"shoot!"
A murderous aura rose into the sky. Only three hundred people exuded the momentum of thousands of troops.
Under Zhang's horrified gaze, the torrent of arrows engulfed all the enemies. The leader Geng Liang only lasted ten seconds longer than the others before he was riddled with bullets.
By the time the vanguard stopped attacking, the corpses and debris scattered all over the ground caused the opposing mob to flee in panic.
In ancient cold weapon battles, only regular armies could survive a 10% loss without being defeated. It was already very good for the miscellaneous soldiers under the aristocratic families to be able to fight.
It was ok to bully the common people in normal times, but when they encountered the Xiandeng death squad, it was a completely one-sided massacre.
In just one round of arrow rain, Xiandeng killed more than 500 people, and without Geng Liang, the backbone, the remaining mob scattered and had no courage to face Xiandeng's powerful crossbows.
When facing miscellaneous soldiers, the combat effectiveness that Xiandeng can exert is so strong that his killing efficiency far exceeds that of Feixiong and Xianzhen.
"Let's go, it seems our general is more powerful than we thought."
Zhang felt a little nauseous looking at the sea of blood and corpses in front of her, but she still forced herself to direct the family members to leave.
The three hundred vanguard soldiers followed Zhang and others silently. The order given to them by Qu Yi was to protect the Zhen family, so they did not question or ask, but just followed Zhang and others silently.
When Li Ru and others arrived at the Cui family mansion, they saw that there had obviously been a bloody battle in front of the Cui family's gate, and there were bloodstains everywhere that had not been cleaned up yet.
After a bloody battle, the whole family was not in a state of decline at all. The bluestone bricks in front of the door were swept clean and the guards at the door were alert, without any sign of decline.
"The envoy from Luoyang comes to visit the Cui family! " Li Ru said loudly to the guards who had already begun to wait in a serious manner.
After a while of whispering, two guards came to Li Ru and said, "The master has told us that if there are any envoys coming, we don't need to stop them. Please follow us to see the master."
"Thank you." Li Ru bowed and took Lu Bu towards the Cui family's mansion.
"General, please..." The two guards wanted to draw their swords to stop Lu Bu, but they were frightened by the pressure from Lu Bu and stood still.
"Double-talented elite?" Lu Bu was a little surprised. You know, even in the previous battle of Hulao Pass, those with double talents were elite soldiers. He didn't expect that the guards of the Cui family would have the strength of double-talented elites. No wonder they could withstand the attack from the Jizhou family.
"Greetings, Li Changshi, and General Lu." After receiving the news, the head of the Cui family hurried out to greet the two.
"What's your plan for the next step?" Li Ru said straight to the point. He felt that the head of the Cui family should be a smart man.
"It's all up to Li Changshi!" The head of the Cui family is also a bachelor. He told everything directly without beating around the bush.
"Master Cui is indeed a smart man." Li Ru was very satisfied. A smart man is a smart man and he can understand things at a glance.
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Li." The head of the Cui family bowed slightly to show his respect to Li Ru.
Lu Bu was confused as he listened from the side and had no idea what the two people were talking about. He could only instinctively feel that the head of the Cui family was now one of their own.
After Li Ru took over the Cui family and the Zhen family, he began to prepare to take action against other families.
With further information about the Cui and Zhen families, Li Ru couldn't help but feel jealous of the wealth accumulated by the Jizhou families.
As long as they robbed one or two families, the money and grain needed for Jizhou's initial infrastructure would be enough, and the several projects that Chen Xi specified must be completed could be put on the agenda.
Just when Li Ru was sharpening his knife and planning to bleed the Jizhou family, the four scoundrels of Xiliang far away in Liangzhou had already begun to tear down their homes.
"Aduo, is it really okay for us to do this?" Li Jue said to Guo Si beside him with some uneasiness.
"Zhiran, are you scared?" Zhang Ji looked at Li Jue in disbelief.
"The military advisor asked me to come here to suppress the Qiang people and inquire about the situation in the Western Regions. So we are investigating the situation in the Western Regions." Guo Si pretended to take out the order given to them by Li Ru and said.
"Come on, do you know how to read?" Fan Chou rolled his eyes and said with disdain. The four of them were all rough guys, and the orders given by Li Ru all relied on Zhang Xiu to read them.
"What a coincidence! I actually know him!" Guo Si said proudly. He took the elementary education class with Hua Xiong.
Although he couldn't recognize all the words on Li Ru's order, how could he give in at this time?
Zhang Xiu, who was standing aside, looked at his four uncles fighting and quarreling with a helpless look on his face, and he felt very uneasy in his heart.
After they were thrown into Liangzhou, they were really bored and almost gained weight from staying in the city every day.
As soon as there was a sign of unrest among the Qiang people, Ma Teng and Ma Chao's family took their men and suppressed it directly, without them having to take any action at all.
As a result, one day Zhang Ji suddenly decided to lead his troops to the Western Regions, and Li Jue and the other two responded without even thinking about it.
After all, with their strength, they can go anywhere in the world. Feixiong can stay in the Central Plains, and they don’t care.
They have nearly 12,000 double-talented elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry under their command, and 3,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry at the same level as the Imperial Guards. A total of 15,000 cavalry troops are not afraid of any opponents at all.
Then the four of them skipped work, found an excuse to ask Yao Chong for a month's worth of food, recruited a group of Qiang people on the spot to serve as a grain transport team, and then rushed to the Western Regions.
"General Li~"
"General Fan~"
Just as a few people were playing and fighting, faint shouts were heard from afar.
"It's over, it's that guy Jiang Boyao!" Zhang Xiu said with a bitter face. Jiang Wei is the highest-ranking general in Liangzhou. Strictly speaking, they are now Jiang Wei's subordinates.
