The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 126 Hide the dead body
The place where Yuan Xu ordered to station was at least fifty miles away from Juyongguan.

He and Guo Jia drove the murderous corpse all the way forward, walking thirty or forty miles without knowing it.

Starting late at night, Yuan Xu ordered the murderous corpses to dig their own pits to hide themselves until the morning star appeared in the eastern sky.

The murderous corpse does not need tools to dig a pit.

They pawed on the ground with their hands, and soon every murderous corpse dug a hole.

Those who rode horse corpses also had to dig one for the horse.

After the pit was dug, the murderous corpses jumped in one after another, pulled the soil into the pit, and buried themselves.

Burying yourself is not an easy task.

At least it's impossible for a living person to do it.

Guo Jia watched the murderous corpse pick up the dirt with his own eyes, and then retracted his exposed hands.

The bottom of the soil is arched a few times, and the top will be flat...

Apart from the fact that the nearby dirt looks new, there is little to detect.

"Ten miles ahead is Juyongguan Pass." Guo Jia asked Yuan Xu, "Shall we go back?"

"What are you going back for?" Yuan Xu changed his mind: "We'll go directly to Juyongguan. When the time comes, let someone tell Wen Zhang to come with the guards. Now that we're here, won't we be making trouble for ourselves if we go back?"

Guo Jia was a little embarrassed, and replied: "Young master is right."

The two didn't look back, but continued to move forward.

When they came to the Juyongguan pass, the Huns had already evacuated.

He didn't see the Huns, nor did he find any sign of Yuan Jun's pursuit. Yuan Xu said: "Pang Shiyuan guarding the pass is really reliable."

"Shi Yuan is very talented." Guo Jia echoed: "With him around, you can rest assured."

Yuan Xu nodded: "Actually, I won't worry if you or Shi Yuan are here."

"Following the young master, you will feel that you are useless." Guo Jia replied: "The murderous corpses are flooded, no matter how clever the strategy is, it is completely useless when you come to the young master."

Yuan Xu chuckled and didn't say any more.

The two came to the gate.

Guo Jia shouted to the top of the city: "Is Pang Shiyuan there?"

"Who is outside the pass?" A voice came from the pass: "How dare you call my general by his name?"

"I'm Guo Jia." Guo Jia replied, "Pang Shiyuan hasn't opened the door to welcome you when the young master comes outside the pass?"

It was still dark, and looking down from the pass, it was completely dark. I could only tell the number of people, but I couldn't tell whether it was Yuan Xu and Guo Jia.

The man replied: "The young master is in Yanmen, how could he come to Juyongguan? Even if he really came, he must have brought a lot of guards with him, definitely not just two people..."

According to common sense, he was right.

Yuan Xu stepped forward: "Go get Shi Yuan and let him talk to me."

If he could see his face clearly, that person would definitely recognize Yuan Xu.

It's a pity that the sky was too dark, so he couldn't tell the difference.

"Don't waste your time, I advise you to leave quickly." The man at the pass shouted: "Pretending to be a young master is a capital offense."

"If you want to go to Shi Yuan, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Yuan Xu hated people who couldn't make decisions and talked nonsense the most, and he was already a little angry.

The person who answered was also excited: "If you don't leave, I will shoot an arrow!"

"Presumptuous!" Guo Jia shouted.

Before he could finish his drink, Yuan Xu raised his hand, and a white light flew towards the gate.

A white light flew over the man's head, startling him.

"Bone spurs, no one else in the world knows how to use them except me." Yuan Xu's tone was very cold: "If you dare to say a word again, I will shoot you in the head next time!"

The person who answered didn't expect that Yuan Xu was really outside the pass, so he dared not make a sound, so he hurried to find Pang Tong.

After a while, the gate opened.

Commander Pang led Gan Ning and Zhang He out to greet them.

Behind them, followed by an officer.

The officer walked out of the gate without saying a word, just knelt down on the ground without daring to lift his head.

Yuan Xu knew that he must be the one who spoke just now.

Facing Pang Tong and the others, Yuan Xu ignored the officers kneeling on the ground.

Pang Tong asked: "Young Master and Feng Xiao, why don't you bring a soldier with you in the middle of the night?"

"Feng Xiao offered a plan. I followed his way. I planned to go back again, but it was too close to Juyongguan, so I didn't want to go." Yuan Xu looked at the officer kneeling on the ground: "Let this person go for a while. Come on, tell Chief Wen that I have entered the customs and ask him to bring someone over."

"Didn't you hear what the young master said?" Gan Ning glared at the officer.

The officer responded quickly, but did not dare to stand up. It was not until Yuan Xu and others entered the pass that he found a war horse and went out to look for Wei Yan.

Leaving the pass, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Provoking Yuan Xu, he thought he would at least be beaten with a military baton, but unexpectedly he was just ordered to leave the customs.

How could he not be secretly glad that he had narrowly escaped death. After leaving the customs, he rode his horse and galloped at a gallop. In just an instant, his figure disappeared into the twilight before dawn.

After entering Juyongguan, Yuan Xu asked Pang Tong, "How many times have you attacked Beibei?"

"It's more than ten times to say the least." Pang Tong replied: "He only brought 5 people, and our army has a lot of people. Every time he invades, he can repel him."

"Do you think he will come?" Yuan Xu asked again.

"Previously I thought he would not come. Young Master and Feng Xiao didn't bring a single soldier. I can be sure that he will definitely turn around." Pang Tong replied.

"Why?" Pang Tong's statement coincided with Guo Jia's, and Yuan Xu asked with interest.

"Young master did not bring troops to Juyongguan, and there were no dead bodies around him. Qubei only needs to do one thing, and he can win the pass with confidence." Pang Tong said: "What he has to do is to burn the Huns who died in battle."

"If you burn the old ones, there will still be ones in the future." Yuan Xu shook his head: "If he thinks so, he's wrong."

"As long as there are dead bodies, you can make them fight." Pang Tong said, "We all know that, but Qubei doesn't know."

"Shiyuan means..."

"Qubei repeatedly captured the pass, and our army suffered few casualties." Pang Tong replied: "He must think that there are not enough dead bodies in the pass, and the young master can't use his skills."

"Shi Yuan's views are almost the same as mine." Guo Jia interjected, "But I don't think Qu Bei would think so."

Pang Tong looked at him: "I would like to hear Fengxiao's opinion."

"I also think that you will come when you go to Bei." Guo Jia said: "The son has been driving the murderous corpses to march all the way, but when he arrived outside Juyongguan, the dead bodies were all gone. The Huns couldn't find them. He would think that the son was exhausted. Let the corpses fight and seize the pass!"

Both Guo Jia and Pang Tong believed that going to Bei must turn back, and Yuan Xu also believed in this.

Both of them are top strategists. Although there are some differences in the reasons for going to Beilai, the final result is the same.

Yuan Xu said: "Both of you believe that going to Bei will come, we are just outside Juyongguan, and completely wiped him out!"

"I would like to obey your order!" Guo Jia and the others responded in unison.

Yuan Xu entered Juyongguan, and Qubei did not go too far. Sure enough, he sent scouts to investigate his movements.
