"Drive, drive, drive..."

On the road from Hexi to Liyang, war horses, chariots and figures moving forward rolled up a cloud of smoke and dust that shot straight into the sky.

Looking across the smoke-filled road, in front of the team that was moving forward quickly, there was a war horse galloping towards them.

After a few breaths, the war horse stopped its progress. The Wei army scout wearing red light armor quickly jumped off his horse and stood still in front of a chariot in the team.

"Reporting to the captain, there has been no news coming from the direction of Yueyang."

Upon hearing the news reported by the scout, the Wei military commander on the chariot frowned immediately.

There has been no news from the direction of Yueyang. This may be a good thing. It at least means that Yueyang has not completely fallen into the hands of the rebels.

Just facing the situation ahead that has not been clear for a long time, and the life and death of old friends in Yueyang City whose lives are still unknown, the Wei military captain couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

That's right, the Wei military captain at this moment is none other than Wei Guogong, Wei Xuan, who went to the Hexi camp to join the army.

As for why Young Master Yan appears here at this moment, we have to start talking about it a few days ago.

That day, he learned from Sang Ping, the head of the Sang family who came in a hurry, that the Yueyang family, headed by the Yu family, was about to take action. Gongsun Yang, who was the magistrate of Yueyang County, immediately realized the urgency of the situation.

Without hesitation at all, he hurriedly sent people to the Yueyang Barracks to invite the county lieutenant Sun Boling back to his residence to discuss how to deal with the upcoming rebellion initiated by the clan.

After some discussion between Gongsun Yang, Sun Boling and Sang Ping, in response to the possibility that the clan might divide their forces into two groups to attack the government and the barracks, the three of them formulated a response strategy of cooperating inside and outside and preparing for the attack.

At the same time, in order to prevent the war from going unfavorable and thus affecting the situation in Yueyang as a whole, Gongsun Yang decisively sent an envoy for help to the Hexi camp adjacent to Qindong.

After Zhai Liang, the commander of Wei State's Hexi Camp, received this request for help from Yueyang, the alarm bell in his heart was immediately sounded.

Seeing that the situation was already very critical, Zhai Liang knew that it was too late to request orders from Anyi, the capital of the country.

Zhai Liang, who made a prompt decision, sent messengers to report the incident to Anyi, and immediately dispatched 2,000 troops, including fifty chariots and five hundred cavalry, to assist Yueyang.

As for the choice of the leader of this army, Zhai Liang did not hesitate too much when faced with Gongzi Xian's offer.

Therefore, shortly after the messenger sent by Gongsun Yang from Liyang for help arrived at the Hexi camp, Gongzi Yan led Liyang in the west and set off.

After traveling day and night, the army led by Gongzi Yan finally arrived only half a day's journey from Liyang City.

This also leads to the scene just at the beginning.

The guard on the side saw the anxiety in his heart at this moment, and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Sir, our army is less than half a day away from Yueyang. I believe that County Magistrate Gongsun can rely on the troops at hand to support the reinforcements until they arrive."

"No, it's still too slow."

It seemed that he did not hear the words of the bodyguard beside him, and the worry on Young Master Yan's face became even more serious.

The next moment, Young Master Yan glanced at a Wei soldier who was marching forward around him, but he suppressed the thought in his heart of speeding up the march.

In the past few days, the soldiers under his command have been marching to Yueyang almost at night. If the march speed is accelerated at this moment, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the army's combat effectiveness.

After dispelling this idea in his mind, Gongzi Yan continued to look back, but the worry in his heart became more and more intense.

Now he and his soldiers are in a race against time. The sooner they arrive at Yueyang, the earlier the safety of their old friend Gongsun Yang and the entire city of Yueyang will be guaranteed.

At this moment, the sound of a war horse's neighing sounded in his ears, which made the anxious young master's eyes light up.

"Someone, bring me a horse."

"Here."

After a while, Prince Han, who was riding a war horse, led his 500 men to reinforce Yueyang, while the remaining 1,500 people, led by a thousand generals in the army, continued to march towards Yueyang.

"Drive, drive, drive..."

The sounds of urging horses sounded one after another on the road, and the strong limbs of the horses struck the ground violently.

After two hours of high-speed marching, the five hundred light cavalry led by Gongzi Yan finally arrived at the foot of Yueyang City.

"Captain Lieutenant, we are about to arrive in Yueyang."

Riding on a galloping war horse, looking at the city that gradually became clearer in his field of vision, a smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on Young Master Yan's face.

Gently exhaling a breath of turbid air from his mouth, Gongzi Yan waved the long whip in his hand, and a crisp sound immediately sounded.

"Soldiers, Yueyang is right in front of us, let's go!"

"Follow orders."

Under the high-speed galloping of the war horses, the five hundred light cavalry led by Gongzi Yan quickly crossed this distance and arrived at the foot of Yueyang City where they were going on this trip.

However, when their cavalry appeared, it immediately aroused the vigilance of the Yueyang soldiers who were stationed on the Yueyang city wall.

The rebellion launched by the clan last night had just ceased, and the entire Yueyang was still on alert. The sudden appearance of such an army at this time would naturally inevitably cause a big disturbance.

"Who is coming?"

Upon hearing this inquiry from above the city, the right hands of Young Master Xian and others who had just arrived below touched the long swords at their waists, and a look of vigilance faintly appeared in the eyes that looked at each other.

Nowadays, the enemy situation in Yueyang City is unclear, and no one can guarantee whether the people in front of them are enemies or friends.

"We are waiting for the reinforcements sent by the Hexi Camp to come to reinforce Yueyang on the orders of General Zhai Liang, the commander of the Hexi Camp."

Saying a response that was half to identify himself and half to test, Young Master Yan looked at the bodyguard behind him calmly, and what he got was naturally an understanding response.

On the other side, after hearing Gongzi Xian's response, the soldier on top of the city who asked the question immediately turned his gaze to the hundred generals beside him.

"Hundred Generals, they said they are from Hexi Camp."

"I heard."

Although judging from their identities, the cavalry who suddenly appeared outside the city were friends rather than enemies, the vigilance on the faces of the generals still did not fade away.

"You guys stay here and monitor the movements outside the city at all times. I will report to the county captain."

"Here."

In a burst of slightly hurried steps, the hundred generals ran down the city wall and ran towards the Yueyang government office.

…

At this moment in Yueyang City, Sun Boling, a county captain, was leading his soldiers to clean up the battlefield that had just experienced an upcoming battle.

The sound of footsteps kept passing by him, and Sun Boling just watched as a soldier wearing a red military uniform entered his field of vision, and then slowly disappeared from his field of vision.

Until another corpse came in front of him, Sun Boling's left hand was seen tightly pressing the long sword at his waist, and his words with a bit of solemnity rang out.

"Wait a minute."

Slowly arriving in front of this young corpse, looking at the pair of eyes in his field of vision that had not yet been closed, an inexplicable complex emotion arose in Sun Boling's heart.

The left hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened a little, and the free right hand came to the opponent's eyes. He just touched the eyes lightly and closed them forever.

There were no extra movements or sensational words. Sun Boling just did all this in a normal way, and then whispered the order to the two soldiers carrying the body.

"Carry it down and bury it properly."

"clear."

A response sounded in Sun Boling's ears, and then he watched the two figures and the young life disappear in front of him.

There are still silhouettes passing by in the field of vision, and the silence with only the sound of footsteps is still in my ears.

Just when Sun Boling was about to continue walking forward, a somewhat anxious voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Report..."

Looking in the direction of the voice, what was coming was none other than the Hundred General who had just run down from the top of the city.

"Reporting to the county lieutenant, there are cavalry arriving outside the city, numbering about five hundred. They said they came to reinforce our company, Yueyang, on the orders of General Zhai Liang, the commander of the Hexi camp."

As a county lieutenant, Sun Boling was naturally aware of Gongsun Yang's move to send an envoy to the Hexi camp to ask for help, and he also fully agreed with it at the time.

No one can predict how the situation in Liyang will develop. If the Hexi Camp can send reinforcements in time, it will undoubtedly be a security guarantee for the Wei side in Liyang City.

So when he heard his hundreds of generals report that five hundred cavalry had arrived outside the city, Sun Boling immediately put his sword on his waist and was about to walk towards the top of the city.

Just as his thoughts changed, his steps stopped, and Sun Boling immediately shouted to the surroundings.

"Here comes someone."

"exist."

"Where is Magistrate Gongsun?"

After hearing Sun Boling's inquiry, the soldier immediately replied in a deep voice: "Reporting to the county magistrate, the county magistrate should be in Yueyang Prison at the moment."

"I understand." Nodding slightly, Sun Boling continued: "Go and report to the county magistrate quickly, saying that reinforcements have arrived from the Hexi Camp. I will head to the city head first."

"Here."

After receiving Sun Boling's order, the soldier quickly ran towards Yueyang Prison, while Sun Boling led a group of soldiers to turn towards the city.

…

Yueyang Prison was originally a large prison specially set up by the Qin State to detain felons from all over the country who had committed heinous crimes.

Since the Wei State defeated the Qin State and brought Yueyang under its rule, the prison of the Qin State became empty in an instant.

But today, Yueyang Prison, which has been vacant for a long time, has welcomed several prisoners with special status.
