Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 905: Inexplicable Plan
The chief jumped off his horse and looked around. With his impressive bravery and the fact that he was the head of the clan after all, the soldiers around him who had just betrayed him all lowered their heads and dared not look at him.

This made him extremely proud. He held his head high and sneered at these people: "Why, weren't you all so aggressive just now, wanting to kill me and take my position as leader? Come on, stand up and fight with me. Whoever can defeat me will not need the Han court to confer the title. I will give up the position of leader myself. How about that?"

He walked slowly back and forth among the Qiang people, shouting this sentence as he walked. None of the Qiang people stood up, which made him secretly happy and relieved at the same time.

"Fortunately... I have finally subdued these bastards. I just need to keep moving like this, unnoticed, slowly towards the other side of the valley. Then I can take advantage of the Han people's unpreparedness, jump on my warhorse, and gallop away. I don't believe they can catch up with me."

He had already made up his mind that it was impossible to defeat the Han army today, and the people he brought with him had already become rebellious and were naturally unreliable. If he abandoned them all and fled back to the tribe alone, he could not only make a comeback, but also get rid of all these disloyal subordinates. At the same time, he could take advantage of this great humiliation of "annihilation of the entire army" to publicize it in the tribe and further consolidate his reputation and status. It was simply killing three birds with one stone.

"What's the matter? Weren't you all so powerful just now? Now you are all silent? Who dares to come out and fight with this leader? Who dares to kill me?"

He continued to move deeper into the valley while shouting wildly. Guan Yu hadn't noticed it at all. In Guan Yu's eyes, how much ability could such an old guy have? Moreover, he didn't even have a warhorse. He had no chance at all whether he wanted to fight or escape.

Not long after, the leader gradually approached a war horse. At this time, every time the leader took a step closer to the horse, his heart would beat violently.

"It's almost there... it's almost there..."

Because he was so cold, he seemed to be trembling when he walked.

Zhou Yuan sneered at this and said, "This old dog can't even walk steadily, yet he still dared to speak wildly just now. He is really shameless."

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, his face cold, "You shameless fellow, dare to challenge me, the Han Dynasty?"

Finally, the leader walked to the side of the warhorse. He was so excited that his eyes almost popped out. In a flash, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the reins of the warhorse, leaped up, and successfully jumped onto the horse.

"drive……"

He squeezed his legs hard, and the horse neighed in pain and quickly jumped out.

"Not good!" Guan Yu reacted immediately: "I've fallen into the trap set by this old man. Hurry and chase him!"

He slapped the red smoke and shadow, waving the Qinglong sword and chased after it.

However, the leader was careful and deliberately chose a warhorse that was far away from Guan Yu. Now, he was caught off guard and took the lead. When Guan Yu went to chase, he had been left hundreds of steps behind. Even with Chiyan Jueying's fast speed, it would be extremely difficult to catch up. This made Guan Yu anxious and regretful.

"Damn it, you old thief, how dare you play tricks on me? If I catch you, I will tear you into pieces. Otherwise, how can I explain to my brother?"

The leader was filled with joy. While running wildly, he turned his head and laughed at Guan Yu behind him: "Haha... Han people are as stupid as pigs. See you later, hahaha..."

Just when he was feeling proud, suddenly a dark shadow jumped up from the mountain path next to him, and at the same time a loud shout was heard.

"Death, you bastard!"

Before everyone could react to what was happening, the leader was pounced off his horse by the black shadow and fell heavily to the ground, screaming out in pain.

"Wow... who the hell dared..."

He was halfway through his words when a huge fist came at his cheek. He was completely unprepared and was hit by the punch, knocking out a tooth.

At this time, everyone finally saw the true face of the black shadow.

"Do...Dohemu, it's you...you traitor..." the leader shouted angrily.

Duohemu's eyes were bloodshot, and he was furious. "You bastard, you bully the tribe members every day, and you get close to villains when you are on the march. Because of your stubbornness, you almost wiped out our soldiers here. Now you want to abandon everyone and run away by yourself. How can a person like you be worthy of being our leader?"

After he finished cursing, he started punching again.

Although the leader's martial arts was obviously much stronger than his, firstly, he had not yet fully recovered his strength after the battle with Zhang Liao. Moreover, he had just been thrown off his horse, which made him see stars and he was still a little dizzy. Thirdly, Duohemu was riding on him, so even if he wanted to resist, it was difficult for him to do so. Therefore, in a short period of time, he was hit by several punches on the head, which made him dizzy, his mouth crooked, his eyes slanted, and his nose bleeding.

Those soldiers who dared not resist due to the power of their leader, seeing him being suppressed by Dohmu, now plucked up their courage, stood up and cheered for Dohmu.

"Dohm, hurry up, kill him..."

"If you kill him, we will support you as the new leader..." The leader was angry and anxious: "How dare you...how dare you..."

While he was speaking, he was punched on the head again, and he screamed in pain.

Dohmu shouted, "Listen, look, everyone has been expecting you to die. What's the point of not dying for a bastard like you?"

After saying that, he picked up a stone from the ground beside him, aimed it at the leader's forehead and smashed it hard.

"Ah...you..." The leader hurriedly put his hands on his head, but the stone fell down, who could endure such severe pain? His palm was directly smashed into a bloody mess.

"I asked you to hide, I asked you to block..."

Dohemu roared and continued to throw stones at the leader, and he did not stop until the leader no longer responded.

"Well, he's dead," Guan Yu shouted coldly, awakening Dohmu from his semi-crazy state.

He lowered his head and looked in front of him, only to see that the leader's head had been smashed into a pulp by him. He didn't feel it just now, but now seeing it with his own eyes, coupled with the smell, even though Dohemu was used to seeing murders since he was a child, he couldn't help but feel his stomach churning.

When all the Qiang people saw that he had really killed their leader, they were stunned for a while. However, Guan Yu rode his horse slowly to Dohemu.

Dohemu suddenly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He stood up and looked at Guan Yu with great vigilance.

"You...you want to kill me?"

Guan Yu didn't answer him, but just continued to look at him, which made Dohmu more nervous.

"Are you...are you going to kill all of us?"

As soon as he said this, the rest of the Qiang people were all frightened and turned pale. They looked at Guan Yu and the cavalry behind him with great nervousness and fear.

At this time, Guan Yu spoke up and said, "According to the imperial decree of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, you, the leader of the Bonan Qiang, have incited your people to rebel against the court. You have committed a heinous crime. You have abandoned evil and turned to good, and killed him, which is a meritorious service to the court. Now, on behalf of the court, this general appoints you as the new leader of the Bonan Qiang."

After hearing Guan Yu's words, all the Qiang people, including Duohemu, stood there in a daze.

None of them took Guan Yu's previous promises from the Han court seriously. But now Guan Yu actually fulfilled his promise and appointed Dohemu as leader. Now they no longer have any doubts in their hearts.

Zhang Liao saw Duohemu still standing there stupidly, and shouted, "What are you looking at? Why don't you thank me quickly?"

"Huh? Oh oh..."

Dohemu immediately knelt on one knee, with his right hand across his chest: "I, Dohemu, would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty."

Zhou Yuan handed an imperial edict to Guan Yu, who dismounted from his horse and handed the edict to Duohemu with both hands. Although Duohemu could only speak Chinese and could not read Chinese characters, he looked at the edict as if it were some priceless treasure.

Then, several soldiers carried a few boxes and placed them in front of him.

Guan Yu pointed to the boxes and said, "This is the gift from the emperor to the new leader."

Duohemu opened the boxes one by one with trembling hands. Inside were all exquisite porcelain, lacquerware, silk, as well as a lot of gold, silver, jade and salt. These things were worth only about one million yuan in the Luoyang market, but in the eyes of these Qiang people, they were priceless treasures.

"Oh my god, so many... With the annual trade volume between our tribe and the Han merchant caravan, I'm afraid we may not be able to afford so many treasures..."

"We've made a fortune. Our tribe has made a fortune this time..."

"The Han emperor is such a good man. After defeating us, he not only didn't kill us, but also gave us so many treasures."

The Qiang soldiers' eyes widened when they looked at these treasures. After years of trading with the Han people, their hostility towards them was no longer as strong as before. Now that they saw these treasures, the little hatred they had left disappeared, and all that was left was surprise and gratitude.
