The battlefield in front of the mountain road had been almost cleaned, Lu Lingqi looked at the general situation from a high place, and said to Tian Chou and Murong Ziying: "We don't have much grain and grass with us, and we have fought several battles in a row, and there are many losses in arrows. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBrother Zitai, now that the crisis between Juyong and Jixian has been resolved, and the subsequent Nanpi reinforcements have also arrived, it feels meaningless for us to stay here any longer.

Murong Ziying nodded: "In the past ten days of fighting, I have gained a lot of benefits, and I should almost accept it when I see it, so as to save other troubles." In addition, I calculated the itinerary, if we appear now, the food in the army should be just enough for us to return to the village of Brother Tai in Pingzi, Youbei. ”

Tian Chou thought for a moment and responded: "The two of you are reasonable. In this way, I will send someone to say hello to Tian Yu, and ask him to divide some soldiers and horses to guard here, and when his people arrive here, I will lead the foot soldiers to leave, and by the way, I should also deal with them, and you will take some of the war horses we collected this time to take the first step. ”

Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying felt that this arrangement was similar, so they nodded together.

————————————————————

Without further ado, just one day later, Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying took two thousand cavalry and nearly a thousand collected war horses out of the mountain crossing, and Tian Chou had to stay for three or five more days, after all, some words and things to do are indispensable.

But at this time, a very discordant news came back, but it was Murong Ziying who sent hundreds of horsemen to drive some of the horses first, and met a Cao soldier halfway through. And what about this Cao soldier? When I saw so many horses, I grabbed them without saying a word. Murong Ziying's hundreds of horsemen suffered less losses, and they were afraid that there would be a misunderstanding between the two sides if they really fought, so they could only flee back and report to Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying.

Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying were furious when they heard the news. We are kind enough to help, although we have reaped a lot of benefits for ourselves, but we have finally helped you solve your urgent needs, so what do you mean by robbing our captured war horses now? Think we're easy to bully, don't you? So, Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying immediately took all the cavalry at hand and galloped towards the place of the incident.

The road is not far, and the horse is just away. Seeing from a distance that the war horses that had been driven before had been ridden by many Cao soldiers, Lu Lingqi's anger became even greater, and she immediately led the Yizhou cavalry to block Cao Bing's way, and pointed at the Cao soldiers' main general with a halberd in his hand and scolded: "Who are you?" It's so invisible! I went here to help you kill so many Hu cavalry, and my Yizhou soldiers were also killed and wounded before they were fortunate to return these war horses, and you actually robbed them like this!? ”

General Cao on the opposite side was about his early twenties, and when he saw Lu Lingqi blocking the way, he also scolded: "I am the general of the country, and I am ordered by the Duke of Wei to attack Karasuma in the north, and there is a shortage of war horses in the army." These horses were recruited by the order of the state, how can you disobey the military order!? ”

Lu Lingqi was furious: "You are short of war horses in your army?" Then go to Karasuma and pay it at your own ability! These war horses are from our hard work, what does it have to do with you? ”

General Cao was also angry: "The national order is levied, do you dare to disobey!?" ”

Lu Lingqi roared: "Joke! Don't add to us what you call the destiny of the country! I am a person under the command of Lu Yizhou, and I am not under the control of your Duke Wei! ”

Cao Jiang is even more popular: "Lu Yizhou? So you're from Liaoxi? But so what? Lu Ren is also Hanchen! But if there is a tune, how can you not obey! ”

"How can it be!"

The person most respected in Lu Lingqi's heart is Lu Ren, and now seeing that Cao Jiang on the other side actually called Lu Ren's name, coupled with the fact that the other party grabbed the horse so justifiably, if Lu Lingqi could still hold back the anger, it would not be Lu Lingqi. At that moment, the painting halberd in his hand was moved, stepped off the war horse, and killed Cao Jiang: "Return my horse!" ”

Cao Jiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but coincidentally he also uses a halberd: "Am I afraid of you as a woman?" ”

The generals at both ends rushed, and the soldiers who followed behind them were of course not idle, and the two sides each roared, and the fight broke out like this......

————————————————————

"W-What? Lu Yatou and Cao Bing fought? ”

There will always be a few more rational and clever people in any army, and Lu Lingqi's side is of course no exception, so as soon as Lu Lingqi started fighting, someone immediately turned back to report to Tian Chou. Tian Chou was busy here, and when he heard the news, he was startled, and immediately instructed his relatives to temporarily lead the soldiers on his behalf, and he took more than 100 horses to the scene of the incident. When Tian Chou arrived, he looked at the situation again, and his head immediately became several times bigger.

The Yizhou Iron Cavalry led by Lu Lingqi did not suffer a loss, and it was these thousands of Cao soldiers who really suffered. Don't look at this Cao army, there are about four or five thousand people, but the cavalry is only about three hundred, and the rest are all foot soldiers. Although there are nearly 1,000 war horses that have snatched Lu Lingqi, it does not mean that you can become a cavalry by riding a war horse, this requires a familiar process.

On the other hand, the cavalry led by Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying are themselves elites who have been trained for two years, and after the recent battles, they have added a lot of experience in actual combat. Therefore, as soon as the two sides were hedged, thousands of Cao soldiers were immediately scattered and disrupted by the Yizhou cavalry.

The only good thing is that the lieutenants on both sides seem to care about the relationship between each other, and they all drink and order their subordinates not to really hurt the killer, so although there are a lot of injuries, there are no deaths. After a few rounds of hedging, Cao's soldiers were scattered and disrupted, Murong Ziying's cavalry also stopped the impact, leaving only Lu Lingqi and Cao Jiang to fight endlessly, seemingly trying to capture each other, while the soldiers on both sides were each shouting and cheering there.

Seeing that there were no casualties, Tian Chou finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then slapped his horse forward and prepared to drink to stop the heads-up between Lu Lingqi and Cao Jiang. It's just that when he got closer, Tian Chou found that this battle was a bit difficult to persuade. Tian Chou is not a literati, on the contrary, he has been so mixed in the north, and he has a lot of experience in martial arts, and at this moment, Tian Chou knows that these two are fighting too fiercely, and if they don't drink well, they will be distracted and injured by mistake. Anyway, if you look at their moves carefully, they are all focused on dominating the enemy, and they don't want the other party's life, so it's better to wait until they decide the winner.

Lu Lingqi and Cao Jiang's two halberds are flying up and down, and the two horses are also galloping back and forth. It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Lingqi is not the opponent of this Cao Jiang. Sure enough, after a few more moves, Cao Jiang slammed a halberd and knocked the halberd in Lu Lingqi's hand out of the way.

Lu Lingqi's painting halberd has been defeated, but Lu Lingqi is not an oil lamp. As soon as the halberd left her hand, Lu Lingqi immediately jumped backwards from the horse, and the sword was already out of the sheath, and with another effort under her feet, the whole person was bullied in front of General Cao's horse like an arrow from the string.

Cao Jiang was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly erected a halberd to block a sword cut by Lu Lingqi, and then wanted to collect the halberd and make another move, but found that Lu Lingqi's figure was fast and agile, and the halberd in his hand didn't even want to hit Lu Lingqi who was circling around him. To tell the truth, if the cavalry can't charge on horseback, then the land combat ability in situ is not as good as that of the infantry.

Cao Jiang obviously knew this truth very well, and after blocking Lu Lingqi's sword, he also took the opportunity to jump off the horse, and the halberd was also thrown aside, and he also drew his saber, and fought with Lu Lingqi again.

In two strokes, the cavalry battle was changed to foot combat, but Tian Chou over there was happy. Not for anything else, Tian Chou is considered an insider, and after only looking at a few moves, he knew that although General Cao's ability to draw halberds in cavalry was above Lu Lingqi, he was forced by Lu Lingqi to dismount and fight on foot with a long sword against the enemy, but this Cao General was too much worse.

Originally, Lu Lingqi's immediately painted halberds were all taught by Gao Shun, and at most it was only Lu Bu's forty percent of the fire back then, and Lu Lingqi herself admitted that painting halberds was not her forte. The reason why he will use a halberd on a horse is that he wants to be like his father back then, and the other is that he must have a corresponding long-pole weapon when he fights immediately, and it will be a little inconvenient for a long sword to fight on a horse.

But when it comes to swordsmanship in foot combat, Lu Lingqi's ability is not a joke. At this moment, a sword makes it fly up and down and is extremely light, and there is also a fusion into some of the Tai Chi boxing that Lu Ren taught Lu Lingqi to borrow strength, and the skills of pulling out a thousand catties in four or two, Cao Jiangzhen and Lu Lingqi face each other, only feeling that there is no courage but it is powerful and difficult to use, and it is as awkward as it is to fight.

After more than a dozen moves, Cao Wei was lured by Lu Lingqi's false move, and the long sword was cut to the ground, but Lu Lingqi had already turned behind Cao Jiang, and the tip of the sword was also against the crack in the back of Cao Jiang's heart.

"Your subordinates are defeated, return my horse, I will spare you from death!"

Cao Jiang snorted coldly, and Tie Qing did not speak.

Lu Lingqi wanted to scold again, but Tian Chou knew that he had to come forward, and finally came out to start a round: "Miss Lu, stop!" ”

When he got closer, Tian Chou looked at the young Cao Jiang, bowed his hand and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" What is your current job? ”

General Cao looked at Tian Chou, then at Lu Lingqi, and responded with a muffled snort: "The last general, Cao Zhang, is the general of Beizhong Lang, and the general of Xingxiaocai." This time, on the orders of the Duke of Wei, he led the people to come here to quell Karasuma's rebellion. ”

"Cao Zhang!?"

Tian Chou was stunned, and said in his heart that the trouble this time seemed to be too much. If it's just other Cao Ying generals, it's okay to say, say haha to each other, and then say no fight, don't know each other, and the matter will pass, but it is Cao Cao's son who catches up!

Tian Chou hadn't spoken yet, but Lu Lingqi said angrily: "It turns out that you are Cao Ziwen, the son of Lao Cao!" But I don't care what your identity is, it's not right to rob my war horse like this! ”

Cao Zhang said angrily: "Karasuma Hu cavalry lifted the masses to commit Juyong and Jijun, and I was ordered by the king to lead the people to rush to help, and there was an urgent shortage of war horses in the army. Although I am emphasizing going today, I also want to clear the border troubles for the country! The horse of emphasis will be doubled in Luyizhou in the future! ”

Lu Lingqi was also angry: "Joke! We will be short of money in Luyizhou!? Don't you have three hundred horsemen? Leave it all to me, and I'll pay you three times as much when I get back! ”

Tian Chou saw that his head was big again, and his heart said that this is not good. Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying are still in Cao Cao's land after all, and the person they meet now happens to be one of Cao Cao's sons, if there is a real upset, things will definitely make a big fuss, and if it affects the overall situation, it will be very bad.

After a little groaning, Tian Chou drank Lu Lingqi, and then said to Cao Zhang: "Gongzi Zhang, these war horses are what we have gained, and it is unreasonable for you to go away so forcefully." However, Zhang Gongzi, you are bent on calming the trouble, and if we are stingy with the war horse, we will not respect the order. It's better to do this, these thousand war horses are temporarily borrowed from Lu Yizhou, and you should repay them in full after the big victory. ”

Cao Zhang glanced at Tian Chou and said in a loud voice: "Husband, man, you are a good man." I have promised to repay it twice, and I will keep my promise when I am victorious! ”

Tian Chou stopped Lu Lingqi, who wanted to be biao again, and then turned to Cao Zhang: "Would you like to high-five as an oath?" ”

Cao Zhang was unequivocal: "Naturally, dare!" ”

After the high-five, Tian Chou asked his men and horses to give way and let them go, and the nearly 1,000 war horses were lent to Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang reluctantly thanked Tian Chou, and suddenly said to Lu Lingqi: "Who are you?" ”

Lu Lingqi didn't have a good face for Cao Zhang, so she snorted coldly and responded: "Lu Lingqi, the daughter of Wen Hou in the past, is." ”

Cao Zhangleng froze, and then hung Lu Lingqi up and down and said, "You are Lu Lingqi, the daughter of Wen Hou in the past?" No wonder as a woman, her martial arts are so outstanding. I think I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I am still a rare opponent, but today I am defeated by a woman like you, and I am very unwilling! Lu Lingqi, do you dare to have a fight with me? On the day of my triumph, I will fight with you, and I will be ashamed of the snow today! ”

Lu Lingqi was also polite: "Accompany you at any time!" ”

After each of them clasped their fists and said "please" again, the two teams parted ways. Looking at Cao Bing in the distance, Lu Lingqi complained to Tian Chou with hatred: "Zitai! We spent a lot of effort to bring these war horses back, and you actually lent them to him like this? ”

Tian Chou knew Lu Lingqi's temper, smiled bitterly, and then shook his head and said, "What if you don't borrow it?" Sister Lingqi, weren't you calm before? Why are you so impulsive now? It's just a thousand war horses, so why fight him to the death? And if you really fall out, how will Lu Yizhou deal with it when you go back? ”

"Huh?"

Lu Lingqi was angry when she heard that she came to help but was robbed by Cao Bing, and subconsciously, Lu Lingqi mainly had a hatred for Lao Cao, so she couldn't suppress the fire. Now that the fight is over, and being reminded by Tian Chou like this, people will immediately wake up.

After thinking about it again, Lu Lingqi stomped her feet and said, "That's it!" I can't be angry about today's events. But what are these thousand war horses? But fortunately, I said that I borrowed the horse from him, and I expected that Cao Zhang would definitely not fail to repay the debt, and we could be regarded as not losing money. Looking at his human nature, maybe after he wins, he will really repay us twice. But Brother Zitai, you're short of horses there, now that's the case? ”

Tian Chou shook his head: "It's okay, give me some time, I can naturally go to other places to collect the horses." ”

————————————————————

A few days later, Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying returned to Chrysanthemum Island first, and immediately telegraphed the content of this battle to Lu Ren, and of course also told Cao Zhang about borrowing horses. Lu Ren frowned slightly after reading the telegram: "Tian Chou handled it very decently, and it should be so, but I don't think it can be just like that." ”

Xun Yu on the side said: "What does Yihao mean by this? ”

Lu Renqu knocked on the table: "If he borrows it with a good voice, I will also be happy to be a favor." It's just that he borrowed such a way, if he didn't return him some color, and when Cao Bing saw that my Yizhou soldiers were taking profits, he grabbed it and went to borrow it again, so how would our Yizhou soldiers deal with it then? This time I borrowed a war horse, and next time I might have to borrow tens of thousands of soldiers! ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "That makes sense." At present, they are both in the north to sweep away the troubles, and the two soldiers are of equal status, even if he has an order, he can't bully the Yizhou soldiers like this. It's just that Yihao, you still need to deal with this matter carefully, one is to make Cao Bing dare not despise your Yizhou soldiers, and the other is to show peace and not let Hu Kou sit and watch the jokes. ”

Lu Ren raised his head and thought about it, then nodded, "I understand...... Come on, call Lingqi back! ”

————————————————————

The north of Jijun is located in Yongxiongguan.

When Cao Zhang encountered Lu Lingqi, although his troops were only a few thousand, there were still 30,000 troops behind him. Cao Zhang was just worried about the danger of being in danger, so he brought thousands of light troops to help first. A few days later, that is, when Tian Chou's troops had just left Jijun, Cao Zhang's main force all arrived at Juyong Pass, so that the strength gathered by Cao's army was Tian Yu's 3,000, plus Jixian County's reinforcements of 7,000, plus Cao Zhang's more than 30,000, totaling more than 40,000. Compared with the tens of thousands of Karasuma horsemen under the pass, the gap in the comparison of troops is not too big.

Cao Cao has many children, but only Pi, Zhi, and Zhang are more promising, and the succession of these three people is also different. If Cao Pi inherited Cao Cao's scheming and lust, and Cao Zhi inherited Cao Cao's literary color, then Cao Zhang undoubtedly inherited Cao Cao's martial arts.

After the assembly of Cao's army was completed, Cao Zhang immediately changed the stubborn defense of the Yong defenders, personally led the troops to meet the attack, and used a fierce offensive to beat the Karasuma cavalry on their backs, forcing Neng Chendi to retreat more than ten miles to reorganize the situation. Next, Cao Zhang focused on rewarding the soldiers, which greatly improved the morale of the soldiers, and then left Tian Yu to lead thousands of troops to guard the pass, and he led a large army to the pass to fight a decisive battle with Nengchen.

The decisive battle was fierce, and it can even be described as tragic. After all, Nengchen Di still has a certain advantage in terms of troops, and all the troops he leads are Karasuma light cavalry, and he still has an advantage in terms of troops against the infantry of Cao Zhang's main force. As for Cao Zhang, he used a more effective joint tactic of interspersing the elite cavalry led by him to destroy the medium-range impact of the Karasuma cavalry, and then the main infantry force followed up to carry out a comprehensive cover. Therefore, when the two of them come together, you come and go with the same tug-of-war, and the sound of killing shocks the sky, and the winner has not been decided after two or three hours.

The battle was in a stalemate, but out of nowhere, a cavalry unit appeared...... (To be continued.) )
