C561 Night Attack(3)

"I see."

Yang Xuan nodded and said.

This old man was most likely someone who cultivated the ice cultivation technique in the Barbarian Army. He had come here to extinguish the flames that he had ignited.

Although the ice wall could block the flames, it couldn't exist forever. It was still early summer, and the weather was still a little cool. In the Barbarian Army, after the soldiers put out the flames, the ice wall started to show signs of melting.

Burning the forest was only part of Yang Xuan's plan. At this moment, half of the flames in the forest had been extinguished by the old man, but Yang Xuan was not in a hurry.

He looked in the direction of Fallen Leaf Plains, as if he was waiting for something.

The Barbarian Clan's ice cultivation technique cultivator floating in the air looked at Yang Xuan with some fear. The fire source in the forest was Li Yan, which could only be cultivated with the phoenix bloodline. Although the old man had put out the flames that were close to the camp, the destructive force contained in the flames naturally made his heart palpitate.

In the direction of Fallen Leaf Plains, flames suddenly lit up behind the Barbarian Clan.

Yang Xuan smiled in satisfaction and prepared to leave the battlefield. The cultivators of the Barbarian Clan were moved, but they didn't chase after ___. It wasn't because he was afraid of Yang Xuan, but because both of them were in the sky above the Barbarian Army's camp. If they were to fight with Yang Xuan later, Yang Xuan would throw two lumps of flame downwards. Those ordinary soldiers of the Barbarian Clan would suffer heavy casualties.

In the direction of Profound Gate Pass.

Zhou Fengmiao stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of the Barbarian Army's camp.

"Where is Adjutant Li?"

Zhou Fengmiao asked. A soldier standing behind him walked up to him.

"Is Carduus Army and Yang Xuan back?"

Zhou Fengmiao asked. The adjutant hesitated for a moment before reporting truthfully, "General, Carduus Army sent out 100,000 people today, but only 50,000 have returned. As for the remaining 50,000 people, there were no spies who sent back any news. So nowhere to be found. "

Zhou Fengmiao closed his eyes and nodded.

"Report."

A messenger rushed over and stopped in front of Zhou Fengmiao. "General, for some reason, the direction of Barbarian Clan suddenly lit up with fire. At this moment, the Barbarian Army is in chaos."

"Pass on my order. Open the city gate."

Zhou Fengmiao thought for a while and said to the soldier.

"Marshal, absolutely not! The Barbarian Army is in chaos now. If we open the city gate, the enemy will charge into the city and suffer heavy casualties."

"They are almost too busy to take care of themselves. How could they have the mood to cause trouble for us?"

Zhou Fengmiao laughed loudly and looked in the direction of the Barbarian Army's camp. There was a flash of light in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the soldiers of Profound Gate Pass suddenly found out. After leaving the city this morning, the fifty thousand soldiers of the Carduus Army had gone to the dark and rushed back to the Profound Gate Pass. Along with them were a few thousand horses. And thousands of carriages.

The carriages were filled with all kinds of fine rice, meat, and other military resources that could be seen with a single glance. There were even many armors and weapons.

"This general is Liu Banshan. He was ordered by General Yang to bring Carduus Army back to Profound Gate Pass."

A soldier with a full beard rushed to the city wall after following Carduus Army back to the city. He said to Zhou Fengmiao.

"Where did you go?"

Zhou Fengmiao asked in a flat tone.

"General, under General Yang's lead, we set fire to Barbarian Army's camp. We took advantage of the time when Barbarian Clan transferred the military funds and seized thousands of horses, as well as a lot of rations and armaments."

"Then what about General Yang? Why didn't you come to see me personally?"

"This... this general doesn't dare to say."

Liu Banshan hesitated for a moment before saying.

"It's fine. Just say it. I won't blame you."

"The general's wife said she wanted to eat a wild rabbit. General Yang took him to Fresh Breeze Gorge to catch a wild rabbit."

"What?"

Before Zhou Fengmiao could say anything, Qi Yulong, who was standing next to him, said angrily, "Is there any law? The whole Profound Gate Pass is worried about him. He has a lot of free time."

"What? Yulong, do you have any objections about what Yang Xuan did?"

Zhou Fengmiao's face darkened. He looked at Qi Yulong and said, "If you can bring Tiger Army to the Barbarian Army and snatch a thousand horses, you can also bring your wife to the mountains to catch rabbits."

However, after a pause, Zhou Fengmiao's expression eased up a lot. He said to Liu Banshan, "You can withdraw first. I will naturally remember the contribution of the Carduus Army this time."

At this moment, two figures suddenly flew over from the sky and landed on the city wall of Profound Gate Pass. They were Yuh Qingcheng and Yang Xuan, who were in discussion.

Yuh Qingcheng held a roasted rabbit in her hand and was eating it with relish. Yang Xuan, on the other hand, saw that everyone looked at him with a strange expression and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Master, I'm back."

Yang Xuan probed carefully.

"You know you're back? I thought you were going to run away with Qingcheng!"

Zhou Fengmiao said to Yang Xuan unhappily, "General Yang, you led your troops to stop the retreating Barbarian Soldier. You should have made a great contribution, but you disobeyed military orders and acted on your own accord. How should I punish you?"

"This..."

Yang Xuan was stunned.

A trace of a smile flashed across Zhou Fengmiao's eyes, but his expression was still very serious. "According to the military law of Great Wei, those who act on their own accord will be executed immediately."

Seeing that Zhou Fengmiao's words were getting more and more ridiculous, Yang Xuan rolled his eyes and said with a thought, "Master, you won't be so cruel, right? How about this, I will give you two thousand warhorses. How about we forget about this matter?"

"How dare you!"

Zhou Fengmiao looked angry and said to Yang Xuan, "Who do you think I am? I will let you go because of these two thousand horses? Go out and ask around. Everyone in Profound Gate Pass knows that I, Zhou Fengmiao, am very clear about rewards and punishments. I never shield you."

After saying that, he suddenly changed the topic. "Three thousand. Not even one less."

"Cough cough"

A series of coughs sounded. It was the sound of several adjutants and another general, Qi Yulong, choking on his saliva.

Yang Xuan wiped the sweat on his forehead and quickly agreed. "Alright, three thousand it is. I will get my men to bring you over later."

As he spoke, he prepared to run.

"Wait, it is not over yet."

Zhou Fengmiao called Yang Xuan, who was rubbing oil on his feet, and said, "It's not just me. In order to buy you some time today, many of General Qi's men were injured as well. Shouldn't you give them some compensation?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Yulong.

Yang Xuan was so smart that Zhou Fengmiao had already said what he wanted to say. Yang Xuan naturally understood what he meant in an instant. He turned his head and said to the dissatisfied Qi Yulong, "General Qi, didn't you keep thinking about the barbarian's milk wine? This time, my subordinates seem to have confiscated some. I will send it to you later."1

Qi Yulong did the same. With a cold snort, he put on a lofty appearance. Two words popped out of his mouth, "One carriage."
