Yan Wuxing immediately ordered the longitudinal stream to bring a thousand horsemen to the vicinity of the pontoon bridge of the Gushui River to contain the cavalry of the Karasuma people. If he brought people into the city, the bridge would be burned.

Yan Wuxing ordered the heart fox to take a thousand horsemen to guard the city gate. Whether this matter is a trap for the rebels or not, as long as the retreat is firmly controlled by himself, it will not be a problem to fight his way out of the encirclement.

"Ming Zhi and I led three thousand horsemen to kill the government and kill Xian Yuchen first. If the rebels lose their main general, they will be in chaos, and the city of Yongnu can be taken down immediately. ”

Duan Xuan disagreed. Duan Xuan said that Xian Yuchen's mansion was heavily guarded, and once the attack was blocked, the rebels who heard the news would surround the cavalry. He thought that he should divide his forces and capture the other three gates first, so that his cavalry would be invincible. As soon as the city gate was lost, the rebels thought that the Han army was coming to attack, and they must have lost their morale, and they had no intention of resisting and fled in all directions.

Yan Wuxing said, we only have such a few men, once we divide our troops to capture the city gate, it will inevitably cause our strength to be scattered, and we will not be able to defeat the rebels' counterattack. In addition, we have to walk a long way to attack the other three city gates, and there is no guarantee that our whereabouts will not be revealed, and if our whereabouts are exposed, we will be surrounded by rebels, and even if we break through and escape, we will lose our troops. One more point, if this is a trap for the rebels, did we divide our troops to attack the city gate and attack the rebels, and were they broken by each of them?

"We concentrated all our forces, took it by surprise, and directly hit the government and killed Xian Yuchen." Yan Wudaunt said categorically, "The rebels have lost their command and will be at a loss, so we will take advantage of the chaos to rush and kill, kill whatever we encounter, and kill the rebels stationed in Yongnu City, so that their soldiers can't find generals, they won't be able to find soldiers, and the rebels are 10,000 people and it's not a matter of worry." ”

"If the attack is thwarted......"

"Let's turn around and run." Yan Wuxing said nonchalantly, "Of course, it's best to be able to take Yongnu City, if you can't take it, you won't have much to lose to us." ”

In the dark night, hundreds of torches burned on the north tower of Yongnu City, illuminating the city gate as bright as day. Suddenly, a fire broke out on the castle tower, and the flames soared into the sky.

The Han army iron cavalry ambushed a mile away, under the leadership of Yan Wuxing, like a long arrow off the string, galloped, rushed out of the darkness, and quietly killed under the north city gate.

Tian Yu hung a long sword at his waist, and he flew up with a nervous expression, "The north city gate has been controlled by me, and my lord can quickly occupy the other city gates and kill the rebels." ”

Yan Wuxing gestured appreciatively to him, turned around and whispered, "Heart Fox, take three hundred people and occupy the city tower." ”

The heart fox waved backwards, and rushed into the city gate first, followed by three hundred iron horsemen.

"My lord, the leader of the rebels on duty in Beichenglou tonight is my father's former official, and he is absolutely reliable." Tian Yu said, "I also brought more than 30 strong family members, and now they are all on the city tower. Your Excellency, let's go into the city immediately. ”

Yan Wuxing glanced at him and said with a smile: "What are you anxious about?" You seem to be impatient to push me into a trap. ”

Tian Yu said anxiously: "Don't tell jokes, my family is up and down, and dozens of lives, old and young, are pinched in the hands of adults." Adults can turn around and run after being defeated, what should I do? Adults, let's hurry. ”

Yan Wuxing patted the dust on his body with a horsewhip, and said unhurriedly: "Your family only has dozens of lives, and I have five thousand brothers, compared to that, what are the lives of dozens of people in your family?" ”

Tian Yu's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw the murderous aura in Yan Wuxing's eyes, he hurriedly swallowed the words back. He sighed in a hurry, and spun back and forth in front of Yan Wudaunt's war horse.

The figure of the heart fox finally appeared on the city tower, and he waved his hand to Yan Wuxing, everything was fine.

Yan Wuxing turned around and pointed at a fake Sima, "Bring another seven hundred people in and control all the vital parts near the North City Gate." ”

Seven hundred horsemen swarmed in. Tian Yu couldn't help but shout loudly: "My lord, how long are you going to rub it out?" So many people were standing outside the city gates, once they were discovered by the rebels......"

"You go back and get on your horse and take us directly to the mansion."

Tian Yu was stunned for a moment, "My lord, now the government is where Xian Yuchen's big camp is located, where there are heavy guards and heavily guarded......

"What are you doing with a lot of rambling?" Yan Wuxing smiled, "Aren't you in a hurry?" Why isn't there a rush now? ”

"My lord, it is too dangerous to attack the government directly, if the attack is blocked, and the rebels hear the news, the city will not be able to take it."

Yan Wudauntless ignored him and raised his hand to wave it behind him twice. The three thousand iron horsemen immediately made a slight noise, and everyone unsheathed their swords and wound their arrows, ready to attack. Tian Yu glanced at him angrily and ran back to the city gate helplessly.

The heart fox on the city tower beckoned hard.

Yan Wuxing let out a low roar and kicked the horse's belly violently, and the war horse jumped up and rushed onto the suspension bridge.

＝＝＝

Although the hooves of the three thousand war horses were also wrapped in their mouths, the roar of running was still very loud, and the ground trembled violently. The bewildered rebel guards looked around blankly, unable to react for a while, and more soldiers were still asleep.

The 3,000 men split into four routes and rushed towards the government at the same time. The guards at the gate of the palace were stunned, they saw the Qiang people in their cloaks killing violently, and finally woke up to the Han army entering the city, they turned around and ran wildly, while opening their mouths and shouting: "Han army...... The Han army is coming......"

The shouts of chaos tore through the silence of the night in an instant, fearful and terrible. The silent government suddenly woke up.

"Shoot ...... Shoot me ......" Yan Wudauntless galloped wildly, raising his knife and shouting.

The long arrows roared violently, and the piercing howls sounded particularly thrilling in the dark night, as if thousands of undead had opened their bloody mouths at the same time and let out a terrible howl.

The thunderous roar of "killing ......" resounded throughout Yongnu City.

Dozens of rebels who turned around and fled were knocked into the sky by galloping horses, and those who fell by arrows were trampled by their hooves, leaving no flesh and bones. The rebels guarding the palace saw that the Han soldiers had arrived, and they didn't care about the soldiers fleeing outside, so they hurriedly closed the gate.

"Rush in ......"

Yan Wuxing returned his hand and slammed the back of the knife on the fat buttocks of the war horse, the war horse was in pain, rose into the air, and slammed into the mansion gate, "boom" There was a loud bang, the mansion gate shattered, and several guards who resisted the mansion gate were suddenly knocked into a blur of flesh and blood, and a mouth spurting blood was knocked into a dozen steps away. The war horse was injured and fell in the compound of the government office. Yan Wuxing was dizzy by the fall, his eyes were full of stars, and he finally barely stood up. He was staggering here, and a few rebel soldiers had rushed up there, Yan Wudauntless roared, and cut down a rebel soldier with his hand, and then showed his might, cutting down four or five in a row, and finally reached out and grabbed a rebel, and shouted: "Where is Xian Yuchen?" Where is Xian Yuchen......"

When the rebels saw the fierce and vicious Yan Wudaunt, they were so frightened that they flew out of the sky, and their hands were pointing at each other. Yan Wuxing killed two more people, lowered his head and asked again, only to find that the person had been stuck alive by his big hand.

The Qiang people swarmed in, some from the gate, some climbed over the house wall, one by one roared like thunder, like a tiger descending the mountain to kill the enemy, rushing around, kicking when they saw the door, cutting down when they saw people, and there was no living mouth for their subordinates. Many of the rebels were hacked to death on their couches, many more were hacked to death in the courtyard in disheveled clothes, and soldiers, servants, men, women, old people, children, as long as they were alive, were all killed by the sword. The Qiang soldiers who rushed in from the rear of the government took advantage of the situation and set fire to the firewood room, and the fire suddenly rose to the sky.

"Quick, quick, quick, kill in, kill in......" Duan Xuan carried a bloody sword in one hand and a bloody human head in the other, and roared wildly, "Kill in......"

The screams of the rebels before they died, the fearful shouts of the fleeing people, and the roars of the Qiang people converged into a terrifying blood.

The rebels stationed at the city gate and scattered near the city gate were awakened by the sound of killing and fire in the palace, and everyone looked at it in horror, and their hearts were terrified to the extreme, could it be that the Han army had killed in? Several rebel leaders hurriedly gathered their troops and quickly rushed to the government to rescue.

Xian Yuchen was surrounded by a group of personal guards, rushing left and right, not only did he not fight his way out of the encirclement, but suffered heavy casualties, so he had to retreat to the courtyard and wait for help. Yan Wuxing led a group of pro-soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the courtyard gate. A group of Qiang soldiers stayed outside the courtyard wall and were so anxious that they couldn't do anything, so several people immediately summed up and cut down a big tree in the courtyard, and dozens of people hugged the big tree and slammed into the courtyard wall, knocking down the courtyard wall. The Qiang soldiers immediately roared in, swords, guns and arrows were like *, and in a blink of an eye, Xian Yuchen and more than 20 of his personal soldiers were cut to a clean light.

"With Xian Yuchen's head, we will kill to the west gate and let the people and horses in the stream, quickly, quickly......"

A Qiang soldier raised his spear and slammed it into Xian Yuchen's head, then raised his head high and rushed out after Yan Wuxing.

The fire in the palace burned bigger and bigger, and the flames soared into the air, illuminating the entire Yongnu City.

The Han army's iron cavalry met the rebels who came from the direction of the West City Gate to support and killed them, "killing ......"

"Yongnu has been lost, Xian Yuchen is dead, disarmed and surrendered......"

"Those who descend will not die......"

Yan Wuxing and Duan Xuan rushed to the front with their own soldiers, shouting and slashing with their knives. The Qiang soldiers didn't care about this, and they couldn't understand what the two adults and those Han soldiers were shouting, they only knew how to kill, and they couldn't stop killing.

When the rebel soldiers saw the fierce Qiang cavalry and Xian Yuchen's head, they immediately collapsed, turned their heads and ran, running wherever there was a road, and wishing to grow four legs.

The Han army's iron cavalry chased fiercely, shouting all the way, slashing all the way, and killing until the blood flowed like a river.

The gate of the west city was wide open, and he had already rushed to the nearby longitudinal rate to kill him. The army then rushed back and forth along the city's avenues, unstoppable. The rebels lost their command, fought separately, and were in a mess, the sky-high fire of the government office, the head of the main general Xian Yuchen, and the overwhelming iron cavalry of the Han army made the rebel soldiers and soldiers full of fear, and they had no intention of fighting, and they surrendered one after another. Several rebel leaders opened the city gates and fled out of the city in a panic with the remnants of the defeated generals. Duan Xuan and Zongliu did not hesitate, and each led a team of men and horses to chase wildly, until there was no one to chase, and then escorted the captives back to the city.

At dawn, the city of Yongnu was completely controlled by the Han army, and the city gradually quieted down.

＝＝＝

Outside the city, he was awakened in the middle of the night by the fire and the sound of fighting in the city, and he hurriedly gathered his troops to guard the two ends of the pontoon bridge, although he was worried, he did not dare to leave the pontoon bridge for half a step. He was worried that he had fallen for the tricks of the Han army again, so he asked the Han army to burn the pontoon bridge.

In the second half of the night, the rebels who escaped from the city told him that the Han army had captured the city and that Xian Yuchen had also been killed. Without the food, grass, and livestock of the city, what did his five thousand men and horses eat and drink? Badon immediately decided to retreat.

"Send someone to Jicheng and tell the king that Yongnu has been captured by the Han army, and we have withdrawn to Tuyin City in Youbeiping."

Yan Wuxing stood on the city wall, looked at the dust raised in the distance, and laughed loudly: "This Bunton is running so fast, he doesn't give us a chance at all." ”

Xinhu smiled: "My lord, do you want to catch up and beat him?" ”

Yan Wuxing shook his head, "Forget it, we can't move." This kid is very powerful, and after catching up, there will inevitably be a bloody battle. ”

He looked back at Duan Xuan and asked, "Mingzhi, how are we lost?" ”

"Thirty-seven brothers were lost and more than a hundred wounded." Duan Xuan said very dissatisfied, "Attacking the mansion, our losses are a little bigger, and the brothers are a little worthless to die. ”

"How many captives?"

"There are probably more than 10,000 people." Duan Xuan said, "The rebels basically surrendered, and they didn't run away much. ”

"Where's my horse?"

"The horse is not going to work. I think it's painful, and it's been killed. Do you eat horse meat at noon? ”

Yan Wuxing said sadly: "That horse has been with me for more than two years......" He sighed and shook his hand, "You guys eat, I can't eat it." You people are so cruel that you will kill my horse, and you will eat its meat......"

The heart fox smacked his lips and smiled: "What if you don't eat it?" You can't bury it, can you? ”

Li Hong and Liu Yu's army stayed in Jiting to rest. The two of them successively wrote to the Son of Heaven, reported the military situation, and urged them to ask for food.

The news of Lucheng and Yongnu City was successively sent to the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Liu Yu and Li Hong were overjoyed, ordered to reward the soldiers, and then reported the good news to Luoyang. On this day, Li Hong was invited by Liu Yu to his camp to discuss matters. Li Hong took Pang De and more than a dozen attendants out of the camp and walked slowly.

The battlefield of the Battle of Jiting has been cleaned up, except for the faint smell of blood floating in the air, and the dry and blackened blood-colored dust that can be seen everywhere on the ground, it is no longer obvious that this was once a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people were entangled in a fierce battle. The bones of the fallen soldiers on both sides have been buried in the black earth beneath the plains, and they will all turn to dust over time.

In the distance, several Qiang soldiers knelt in front of the huge tomb and wept, and their miserable cries drifted in the faint blood, making people feel sad and tearful.

Li Hong sat on the heavy back of the black panther, listening to the cry in the wind, countless fierce fighting figures suddenly set off in his mind, familiar and unfamiliar faces swept in front of him, his heart trembled, his eyes gradually turned red, he thought of the iron wolf, thought of Tian Jing, thought of Li Song, remembered the fist, remembered many dead brothers, he slowly lay on the horse's neck, clinging to the black horse's mane, his whole body was bent, and his shoulders twitched violently.

Pang De and the righteous soldiers saw Li Hong's unbearable grief and thought of their dead brother, and their hearts were sad, with tears in their eyes, and they bowed their heads and were speechless.

The wind howls on the plains, like countless heroes howling in the sky.

The marshal came, he led the Xianbei army into the Han Kingdom, that army has its own brothers, has its own friends, one duel is not enough, but also two, three times, everyone has to fight each other, kill you to the death, why do you want to do this? He wanted to shake hands with the big handsome, he wanted to sit and drink with those brothers, he wanted to see the wind and snow. Helian is dead, Fengxue must be back, and she must be in Tanyue Valley in Dayan Mountain.

The decisive battle with the marshal, he has no confidence, the former Jutun battle, the marshal turned defeat into victory under the extreme disadvantage, the courage and courage of the marshal have since been deeply engraved in his heart, and the marshal is invincible. The commander is here, and the Black Hawk Iron Rider must be here too. Thinking of the iron mouth of the divine eagle, Li Hong's heart trembled, and a chill unconsciously swept through his body.

Liu Yu is going back to Zhuo County. He wants to go back to appease the people, rebuild the government, and seize the time for spring ploughing. If you don't sow any more seeds, you will miss the time. If there is no harvest in the field this year, in winter, disaster relief alone will not be able to feed many people, he must do everything possible to let the people of Youzhou live, "I don't want to see Youzhou hungry all over the wild, let alone see Youzhou people cannibalism." ”

Liu Yu wanted to hand over all the troops to Li Hong, and let him take full charge of the counterinsurgency in Youzhou.

"My lord, now that the Xianbei people have entered the country and occupied a large area of land and cities south of my Yanshan, our top priority is not to continue to quell the rebellion, but to drive the Xianbei people out, so as not to make the mistake of merging the state again. Once the Xianbei people rely on the tallness and solidity of Yuyang City and stabilize a large area south of Yanshan, if we want to take it back, the price will be quite large. Li Hong said earnestly, "My lord, after Jicheng is taken, I will lead my troops to Yuyang, and let the matter of counterinsurgency go for the time being." ”

"Nope." Liu Yu said resolutely, "After Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun fled back to Liaoxi, the rebels still had tens of thousands of people, plus the Karasuma people, they still had nearly 100,000 troops, if they didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat them completely, they might come back." Looking at Jizhou, you should know how important it is to completely annihilate the ant thieves. Counterinsurgency is the top priority, and counterinsurgency is the foundation to ensure the rapid stability of Youzhou. ”

"The Xianbei people come in from the outside, and we can use the city and the pass to stop them step by step, but if the ant thieves come from behind us, we are powerless to stop them. Ant thieves are supported by homeless people, and they will spread into a catastrophe for hundreds of thousands of people anytime and anywhere. As soon as the catastrophe is completed, Youzhou will be lost, not to mention resisting the Xianbei people at that time, even Youzhou is the Xianbei people. ”

"My lord, it is thousands of miles away to Liaoxi and Liaodong, and tens of thousands of troops have traveled long distances, and the transportation of grain and grass is a big problem. Now that the Xiongnu rebellion and the invasion of Xianbei Kouguan have been annexed, the imperial court has to deal with the big battles of the two battlefields at the same time, and the treasury is simply unable to support it. Li Hong persuaded bitterly, "My lord, you don't know these circumstances, why do you insist on continuing to quell the rebellion?" ”

"We can imagine that when the army enters Liaoxi, the rebels will definitely retreat to Liaodong, and then the army will chase to Liaodong, which is thousands of miles away from Jicheng, if the imperial court is unable to provide food and salary at this time, the army only needs two endings, either withdraw quickly, lose the army, or be unable to retreat, and the whole army will be annihilated. At this time, the Xianbei people only need 10,000 iron horsemen to occupy the entire territory of Youzhou. ”

"Your Excellency," Li Hong pleaded, "My ......lord, the rebels are Han Chinese, and the Xianbei people are Hu people, why don't we kill Hu people but pursue and kill Han people?" Adults are famous for their generosity and kindness, and they are even more gracious to the Hu people, and they are well-known in northern Xinjiang. ”

Liu Yu said angrily: "People, you are too confused, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun called the emperor and founded the country, this is no longer a rebellion, but to overthrow the Great Han State and rebuild Sheji, this is not a matter that can be solved by appeasement, this is a matter of completely exterminating and maintaining the power of the Han Dynasty." Karasuma people are ignorant and rude, deceived by traitors, and there is a reason for the incident, and they can be appeased, but Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun were both the Taishou of a county in my Han Kingdom, and they were full of the emperor's favor, and the two did not want to serve the country, but did this kind of thing that people and gods were angry about, and it was not enough for the people to be angry if they didn't kill? Not killing is not enough to thank the Son of Heaven? If you don't kill, you're even more sorry for the heavenly spirits of your ancestors and ancestors? ”

"My lord, the reality is that we are no longer able to advance eastward, and we must let go of the rebellion." Li Hong persuaded again, "The rebels have been hit by this heavy blow, and even if they get a respite in a short time, it will be difficult to recover in barren and desolate places such as Liaodong in western Liaoning. By October of this year, when the grain harvest in the states and counties has been harvested and the taxes have been paid into the treasury, it will not be too late for us to strike. Why did the adults have to let the Xianbei people who were eyeing them not fight, but they had to risk attacking the rebels thousands of miles away? In addition, the Qiang soldiers under my account have been thousands of miles away from the western Xinjiang, and the people's hearts have long been fluctuating. The homeland of those Huns is now in flames, although I deliberately conceal it, how long can I hide it? If my cavalry is scattered, I will be killed personally in a small way, but in Youzhou it will be a big wreck. ”

Liu Yu was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "This is the system of the ancestors of this dynasty, and it is also the policy of strengthening the country and protecting the family pursued by this dynasty for hundreds of years. Today, we will do the same. ”

"If Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun are two rebellious people, if they are still from the Han Kingdom, they should defend Yuyang and not retreat until they die. Why not? But did they do? They gave up Yuyang City to the Xianbei people, how could this kind of traitor not kill? ”

Li Hong didn't speak, he thought of Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Wang Guo, and Xiliang, they united with June Thunder and other overseas Qiang people to rebel, are they considered traitors? When Taiwei Zhang Wen proposed to be appeased, why didn't the court say that they were traitors and traitors?

Liu Yu looked at Li Hong, who was silent, and asked in a fierce voice, "General, what do you say?" Will the counterinsurgency continue or be suspended? ”

Li Hong looked up at Liu Yu, who was haggard because of his hard work, his heart softened, and he nodded, "Everything will be according to what the adults say, continue to quell the rebellion." ”

Liu Yu looked at him solemnly and said word by word: "General, I want to impeach you." In the face of major rights and wrongs, a Zhenbei general actually puts his personal feelings above state affairs, you are really not worthy of being this general. The general should not only be able to fight, but also always think about his own Han Kingdom and the Son of Heaven of the Great Han Kingdom. A general who can fight is just a martial artist, and you know why a general who fights can sit in the northern frontier, and you are not worthy of sitting in the northern frontier. ”

Li Hong looked at Liu Yu dumbfounded, and didn't react for a long time.

Indeed, he is really not worthy of being the general of Zhenbei, he has not been resolute about the counterinsurgency because of the influence of his personal feelings between himself and Zhang Chun, he always thinks that he can appease him after hitting Zhang Chun, he is always worried that he will lose the state, worried that his subordinates are dead, he has never been fully focused on counterinsurgency, he even cares about the lives of the soldiers, and tells Zhao Yun not to attack Lucheng again. There is also the matter of blocking the invasion of the Xianbei people, he is also looking ahead, he doesn't know how to face his former Xianbei brothers, how to face his relatives Murong Feng in his heart, he doesn't even know how to fight this battle.

He has been lost in the face of private feelings and the righteousness of the state. He neither knows right or wrong nor how to choose right and wrong, he thinks back to what he has done in the past few years, as if there is nothing he is willing to do, it is what he sincerely wants to do, he is confused, pushed and pulled by fate and time, from east to west, from west to east, at this moment in retrospect, he didn't even know why he wanted to kill, what he wanted to kill.

He sat dumbfounded, looking at his big hands, dazed, hesitant, at this moment, he felt that life was meaningless, meaningless.

Who am I? Who was I in the past? The thirst for memory in the depths of his soul suddenly hit his nerves like a flood, and a huge flame suddenly appeared in his mind, a huge raging flame, the flame calcined him, scorched him, suffocated him, made his mouth dry, he wanted to drink water, he wanted to tear open his heart and lungs and drink a mouthful of thick blood......

"People, people, what's wrong with you......"

Li Hong woke up suddenly, sweating profusely, his eyes were confused, and he looked at Liu Yu painfully. Liu Yu looked shocked, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and shouted eagerly, as if he was afraid that he would die suddenly. Pang Defei rushed in and hugged Li Hong, "My lord, hurry, call the doctor, the general has cried all the way, it is estimated that the grief is excessive." ”

Pound carefully laid him flat on the ground and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. Liu Yu dragged Li Hong's hand, regretting it, if he knew this, he wouldn't scare him.

Li Hong was exhausted, his whole body and mind were immersed in the flame, the fire was still burning violently, occasionally there were explosions, and he shouted bitterly, he tried to think, tried to think, he saw the iron wolf lying on the ground, he went to drag him, but what was pulled out was a bloody hammer, he saw Ji Ming burning in the fire, and in a blink of an eye, there was a fiery red head left, Ji Ming was shouting, shouting with all his might, but the cry was extremely gentle, "Light rain...... Light rain ......"

A pair of big complaining eyes suddenly appeared in front of Li Hong's eyes, those were Xiaoyu's eyes, those were Xiaoyu.

"Light rain...... Light rain ......"

Li Hong screamed loudly with all his strength, only to feel a pain in his heart, his eyes were dark, and he suddenly lost consciousness.

＝＝＝

There was chaos in the big tent, Liu Yu was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and several doctors and craftsmen were helpless. Judging from the pulse, except for the weakness of the body, there is nothing wrong with it, but how can they fall unconscious for no reason, they can't say why.

"My lord, I'd better carry the general back, we still have a few clever healers there, let them see." Pound said loudly.

"Hurry, hurry, then you shouldn't hurry." Liu Yu urged loudly.

Pang De carried Li Hong on his back and hurried out of the tent, and the righteous soldiers had already pulled horses over to wait. Pound flew on his horse and galloped wildly.

When Xian Yufu, Yushi and others received the news, they were all shocked, and they all left the camp and galloped away to Liu Yu's camp. Just on the way, I met Pang De who came back with Li Hong on his back, and everyone hurriedly hugged Li Hong back to the big tent.

"Don't panic, don't panic, it's okay, it's okay." Tian Zhong heard the news and hurried over with a few medical craftsmen, he listened to Pound's narration, and already knew in his heart, "My lord, this is too tired, he has too many things to worry about, he is exhausted, and he has a headache for Xianbei people in the past few days, and it is estimated that he can't support it and collapses." ”

"The adults locked themselves in the big tent for the past two days, racking their brains to think about defeating the Xianbei people, and they didn't eat, and they only ate three black cakes in two days." Pound said sadly, "The adults don't listen to anyone's advice, there is really no way." If this continues, he will collapse. ”

The generals looked at Li Hong, whose face was pale, and their hearts were very heavy.

"Is there any news of Luronsei lately?" Tian Zhong looked at Chen Ming and asked.

"Nope. According to the orders of the adults, the scouts are all active in the Yuyang area, so ......"

Tian Zhong sighed.

"My lord seems to be very concerned about Xiaoyu, should we send someone to go on a special trip to the endless city?" Jade asked in a whisper.

Xian Yufu nodded, and was about to instruct Chen Ming, but Tian Zhong spoke, "Don't go to Endless City, go directly to Lulongsai." Before I arrived in Western Xinjiang, I had specifically instructed the Tian family that once something happened in Youzhou, I would take Xiaoyu directly to Lulongsai to take refuge. Lulongseri had the families of soldiers, many of whom had been horse bandits in the past, and some of the women were more powerful than the men, and the rebels might not be able to take them. ”

Xian Yufu glanced at Tian Zhong worriedly, "If Xiaoyu is not in Lu Longsai or Lu Longsai ......"

Tian Chong's face was full of sadness, he shook his hand, and stopped making a sound.

＝＝＝

Li Hong woke up after being in a coma all night. Liu Yu happily came to visit and came to say goodbye by the way.

"After I arrived in Zhuo County, on the one hand, I appeased the people for spring ploughing, and on the other hand, I urged the imperial court to ask for food and wages to ensure the needs of the army to quell the rebellion." Liu Yu said with a smile, "You have to take care of yourself, don't be too tired, and don't go into battle with a gun in person, otherwise I really want to impeach you in a book, this time it's not to scare you." ”

Li Hong smiled and said a few words of gratitude.

"Don't coax me." Liu Yu patted him on the shoulder and pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "And your hair, I've said it countless times, except for the fact that I saw you honestly tied in the capital, I haven't seen you pierced seriously." You are the secretary of the Great Han Kingdom, and you still have loose hair, what kind of system is this, what is the difference between you and a stubborn Hu leader? ”

Li Hong reluctantly agreed.

"People, you let Yu Xing take command of my more than 10,000 horses and hand them over to him, I don't worry."

Li Hong thought for a moment and said, "My lord, let's let Brother Bo Jue take the lead." He is the cavalry captain of Youzhou Mansion, and in his absence, he should naturally be in charge of the army. Brother Bo Jue is famous in the northern Xinjiang, and his martial arts and intelligence are higher than mine, especially he has been sitting in Liaoxi and Liaodong for a long time, and he is very familiar with the terrain and people's conditions there, and his prestige in the eyes of the local people and Hu people is also very high. ”

Liu Yu's face was a little ugly, he stared at Li Hong for a long time, and suddenly said, "Why do you say east, you always say west?" Are I familiar with the affairs of Youzhou or are you familiar with it? ”

Li Hong saw that Liu Yu was angry again, and asked suspiciously: "My lord, Brother Bo Qi is the most important general in Northern Xinjiang back then, how can you ......" Li Hong saw Liu Yu's brows furrowed, very unhappy, and did not dare to continue. He estimated that Gongsun Zhan probably offended Liu Yu by something, and he was not lightly offended, otherwise, with Liu Yu's generous character, he would not be idle such a general in northern Xinjiang.

Li Hong thought that when you left, I would find an excuse to let Gongsun Zan command the army, so as not to make you angry, so he immediately changed his words and said, "I listen to my lord." ”

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"There's one more thing for adults to consider." Li Hong said, "I have estimated that the prisoners held in the camp now, plus those in Lucheng and Yongnu City, have a total of more than 50,000 people, and the rations of so many people are already worth the rations of our entire army, so the problem of feeding these prisoners must be solved as soon as possible and cannot be delayed." ”

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "I will immediately send someone to escort them to Tuntian, Zhuo County." These people can't be released, and they can't be killed, so let them be Tuntian soldiers. In the future, when the rebellion is put down and the Xianbei people are driven away, you will have to return to the state, and at that time, I will turn these people into the border army of Youzhou, so that the problem of the shortage of troops in Youzhou can be solved, and I will also have an army to resist the invasion of the Xianbei people in the future. ”

The two said some other things, and Liu Yu immediately took his leave and hurried back to Zhuo County.

Xian Yufu temporarily commanded the Youzhou Army.

In northern Xinjiang, although Xian Yufu is not as famous as Gongsun Zhan, he and Li Hong have been the same and the same as Li Hong over the years, commanding the army to fight in the south and the north, and they have long been famous and known to the world. Whether it is Gongsun Zan in Youzhou or Zou Jing in Qingzhou, they are all convinced. In the eyes of everyone, Xian Yufu is far more amiable than Li Hong. Li Hong was born from a humble background, he was young, he was famous, he had great merits, and he was also a big official, and whoever saw him had a complicated heart. How could such a person suddenly become an important general of the Great Han Kingdom?

At the end of April, the army besieged Jicheng.

Li Hong ordered Yan Rou and Zhao Yun to lead the army to rest in Lucheng, and Yan Wuxing to lead the army to rest in Yongnu, and not to continue to advance eastward for the time being.

On this day, Li Hong convened the generals of various departments to discuss the method of attacking Jicheng.

As in the past, the scout battalion first reported the latest military situation. After carefully explaining the situation of the rebels, Karasuma and Xianbei people, Chen Ming continued: "After the Xianbei people occupied Yuyang, they had no intention of continuing southward, they drove the people in the city to the nearby iron mines to mine ore day and night, and then transported them to Baitan City. ”

"Besides......" Chen Ming glanced at Li Hong and said, "Your Excellency has repeatedly instructed us to pay attention to the big eagle ...... above Yuyang."

Li Hong's expression tightened, and he looked up at Chen Ming.

"We saw that there was indeed a big eagle in the sky above Yuyang City."

"When did you see it?" Li Hong was stunned and asked nervously.

"Yesterday."

"What's wrong?" Xian Yufu asked with a smile, "What are you nervous about?" Is there anything strange about this big eagle? ”

"Xianbei people have increased their troops in Yuyang." Li Hongwang looked at the generals under his tent and said with a solemn expression, "The most powerful Black Eagle Iron Horse of the Xianbei people has arrived in Yuyang. ”

The faces of all the generals in the northern and western frontiers changed greatly, and Nie Xiao, Gongsun Zan and others all showed shocked expressions. The Black Eagle Iron Horse, that is the most powerful iron horse in the world, when the sandalwood acacia swept through the desert with it, and drove the Northern Huns all the way to the desert Arctic wilderness. Although the generals of Jizhou and other places have heard of the name of the Black Eagle Iron Cavalry, they have little contact with cavalry, and they cannot understand what kind of invincible momentum the Iron Cavalry is when it is the craziest.

"Is the Shogun sure?" Liu Bao asked in panic.

"That big eagle is called Iron Beak, and it is a sacred object of the Aquila tribe." Li Hong thought of the big eagle, and suddenly remembered the mighty Tieao, the heroic Tieguo, and the invincible iron knight in the world, "Tieao is here, and the handsome must be here." ”

There was silence in the big tent for a moment, and the atmosphere was tense.

Murong Feng's name is indeed terrifying. All the people in the army remember the Sunset Plain, the Sunset Plain that killed 50,000 people in the first battle, and now the Great Han Kingdom even if it has the glory of the Great Falling Valley Battle in Western Xinjiang, it cannot erase the shadow of the defeat of the Han soldiers against the Sunset Plain.

Li Hong looked at the map on the desk, admiring and bitter, is the handsome really invincible in the world?

He Lian died, and the power of Danhan Mountain was greatly reduced, and in desperation, he could only be played by Murong Feng and the Xianbei lords of the various departments. Now, Murong Feng no longer has the strength to do anything. was stronger than Tuoba Feng, and had to submit to Murong Feng's command. In today's attack on Yanmen Pass, Tuoba Feng must have been instructed by Murong Feng.

The Huns were in disarray, pinning down almost all of their cavalry corps; Yanmen Pass is in danger, and all their backup is contained, and the increasingly critical situation in Bingzhou has affected the sensitive nerves of the imperial court, with their victory over the rebels in Youzhou, the crisis in Youzhou is temporarily relieved, and the imperial court will send all the food and salary to Bingzhou to solve the urgent need.

He was led by the nose step by step by the handsome to a certain defeat.

Now that the marshal soldiers are in Yuyang, they are dragging themselves to death, making themselves lose ground. It is impossible to quell the rebellion, and it is even more impossible to return to the state to help him, and he can only fight to the death, but whether he can fight him and when he will fight him, the initiative is not in his own hands, but in the hands of the commander.

The battle of Jicheng was damaged, and it was difficult to recover for a while, and as time continued, will the Qiang people who are thousands of miles away from home feel homesick? Will the Huns in the homeland **** turn their backs? The problem of the soldiers can still be restrained by themselves, but the problem of food and salary can not be done by themselves, the court does not give it, and there is no place to grab it if they want to. If the food and salary are cut off, the army will be in chaos, and the army will be defeated if the army is in chaos, and this battle of Yuyang will be lost if it is not fought.

And the state, and the state. If I don't appease the Yellow Turban Army and worry about the homeless people in Tuntian, what am I afraid of him today? What can happen even if Yanmen Pass is breached? I'm really cocooned with myself.

If there is no war, the south of Yanshan will become the ranch of the Xianbei people, and without the natural barrier of Yanshan, the Xianbei people will go south whenever they want, and the south of Yuyang is a land of flat rivers, and there is no hindrance. If you take the initiative to fight, will the marshal respond? Without the certainty of victory, the marshal would rather give up Yuyang, and he will never fight. He has a way to drag himself to death without a fight, why should he fight a decisive battle? The Black Hawk Iron Horse came just to put pressure on himself and the soldiers of the army, so that he could not move.

"General, General......"

Li Hong looked up at Chen Ming and asked with a heavy heart, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Today is to discuss the matter of fighting Jicheng." Chen Ming smiled reluctantly and said, "The Xianbei people haven't gone south yet, so we can not consider it for the time being." ”

Li Hong smiled and said to the generals in the tent: "Okay, let's not talk about this today." The walls of Jicheng are all made of stones, and it is a very strong city in northern Xinjiang. ”

Xian Yufu said: "Yes." When the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, they forcibly took Jicheng and killed the assassin Guo Xun and Guangyang Taishou Liu Wei. However, the Yellow Turban Army lost tens of thousands of people to conquer the city. Later, they were surrounded by us, and in order to break through, they opened a section of the wall......"

"Lying down a section of the wall?" Li Hong smiled, "If you block the four gates, they will run from the middle of the city wall, this escape method is very chic." ”

The fast rider galloped in, and the sound of hooves was like thunder.

"General, the Xianbei people have captured Lulongse."

Li Hong's vest was cold, and he was stunned for a moment. Inside the tent, the generals were in a panic. Yuyang is lost, Lu Longsai is lost, the door of Youzhou is wide open, and there is no longer any barrier, so that several counties in the northeast of Youzhou are like the four counties in the north of Youzhou, which can be regarded as completely lost.
