Chapter 1481: The Price

Chu Huan hadn't gone up to the valley yet, but he saw a team of people and horses rushing over, in this horse taming valley, it was difficult to see the ground, and the horses' hooves could only step on the corpse, but he saw Xu Shao had already rushed over, saw Chu Huan, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said: "Chu Du!" ”

Chu Huan saw that he was covered in blood, and his face was even stained with blood, and he knew that it was also a hard battle, Xu Shao's soldiers and horses were placed in the hinterland of the horse farm, and later Han Ying in the south was tight, Xu Shao led a part of the cavalry to gamble on the gap, and it was also a tragic battle.

Xu Shao himself has thousands of cavalry under his hands, Chu Huan obtained more than 3,000 Xiliang war horses from the Xiliang Tong Guò salt horse trade, and selected a part of the soldiers who are good at cavalry from the army to temporarily form a cavalry regiment, these 3,000 people are of course not as good as Xu Shao's Fengzi battalion based on the tiger wing horse, 4,000 cavalry in the belly of the horse farm, although the southern front is in danger, Xu Shao did not dare to transfer all the cavalry to the south, after all, this cavalry is a mobile force, and it must support all sides at any time, so when the battle situation on the southern front was the most urgent, only 2,000 people were transferred.

"What about the casualties?" Chu Huan asked directly.

Xu Shao's expression was solemn, "It's still counting, but the losses should be not small, and our cavalry has also killed and injured more than 300 people......!" ”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, but Xu Shao had already said: "But Di Renjie, the general of the Tianshan Mountains who attacked the south, has been killed in the chaotic army, and General Han has already cut the ranks, does Chu Du want to see it?" ”

"No need." Chu Huan shook his head, "This governor has already ordered that the Tianshan generals who died in battle, no matter who they are, will be buried in the ...... west of the Valley of Heroes!" ”

"Valley of the Strong?" Xu Shao was stunned.

One of the people on the side had already said: "Chu Du has renamed the Valley of Horse Taming to the Valley of the Heroes!" ”

"Oh!" Xu Shao understood, saw that the sergeants had already begun to clean up the battlefield, and asked, "Chu Du, the Tianshan army is fleeing to the west, if it is delayed here, will it miss the opportunity?" Do we leave a part of the battlefield to clean up and bury the corpses, and the main force continues to move westward to pursue while the victory is won? ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "You fought hard from Hezhou for several days, and then retreated here, you didn't rest at all, and immediately entered the fight, after all, the soldiers are all flesh and blood, and they are already exhausted at this time, so it is not appropriate to pursue at this time." After this battle, the Tianshan army is still collapsing, and the governor will not give them too much time, let everyone rest first, and then make a discussion about going west, sharpen the knife and not chop wood, don't be anxious! ”

Xu Shao nodded, he naturally knew that although Zhu Lingyue's Tianshan army had fled a lot, it was impossible to assemble in a short period of time, but the Xiguan army was already exhausted, and it was not a good thing to continue to advance westward at this time.

"By the way, where is Zhu Lingyue now? Is it really dead? Chu Huan asked suddenly.

A subordinate on the side said: "I heard the Northwest Army shouting before, I have already cut Zhu Lingyue's rank, if it is true, the rank should be ...... in the hands of the Northwest Army now!" ”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, inside and outside the Horse Taming Valley, there were also dense people, some soldiers were temporarily resting, and some soldiers had begun to clean up the battlefield under the command of the generals.

As far as Chu Huan could see, it was all corpses, this battle was really tragic, and although he won, his mood was not very good.

Climbing up to the Valley of Taming Horses, and seeing that the wooden fence wall on the front was much more dilapidated than the northern front, Chu Huan knew that the frontal battle led by Pei Ji must be even more tragic.

He jumped on the wall and glanced at it, either it was a corpse or a soldier who was cleaning the battlefield, but he didn't see Pei Ji's figure for a while, and asked the soldiers on the side, but they all said they didn't know, and frowned.

In this battle, he was able to turn defeat into victory, and there is no doubt that Ganhou's counterattack played a decisive role.

Until now, Chu Huan was puzzled, Gan Hou had obviously married Zhu Lingyue, but why would he fight back in this life-and-death battle?

Marrying Gan Yujiao to the Zhu family is not a verbal agreement, but an extremely solid foundation for the alliance, and it is precisely because of this family affair that Chu Huan decided that Gan Hou was Zhu Lingyue's reliable ally, but in the end, it was this seemingly most reliable alliance that gave Zhu Lingyue a fatal blow.

There's always a reason for that.

Chu Huan had to admit that compared to the alliance with Zhu Lingyue, the benefits obtained by Ganhou and the Western Union may be far inferior to Zhu Lingyue.

Gan Hou fought back, helped Zhu Lingyue, and after defeating Zhu Lingyue, what good would it do to the Northwest Army?

He was puzzled in his heart, but he heard Qi Hong beside him suddenly say, "Chu Du, over there...... It seems to be Mr. Pei over there...... Hey, General Ganhou Gan is there too! ”

Chu Huan came back to his senses and looked in the direction of Qi Hong's finger, and sure enough, he saw two figures standing together in a corner, as if they were talking about something, but no one approached to disturb them.

Chu Huan frowned.

This time with the Tianshan Army from Hezhou to the racecourse, the overall plan has always been Pei Ji, and Chu Huan from the very beginning, divided Xiguan into two fronts, one by Xuanyuan Shengcai in charge of the southern front, and the other by Pei Ji in charge of the western front.

Once Chu Huan employs people, he will fully give him the right to freedom and not hinder him, and the war on the Western Front, Chu Huan is also handed over to Pei Ji as much as possible, at this time, seeing that Pei Ji and Ganhou are talking, it suddenly occurred in his heart that Ganhou can fight back, and it must have a great relationship with Pei Ji, he has even woken up at this time, and finally fought a decisive battle at the racecourse, which is also a decision made by Pei Ji, this war seems to be completely under Pei Ji's control.

Chu Huan knew that Pei Ji was talented and extraordinary, and he was not completely clear about Pei Ji's true origin, but he knew that Pei Ji was not only a senior brother with Qin Lei's father, but also a senior brother with the medical saint Zhang Yiyang, Qin Lei's father was from a court official, and Zhang Yiyang was the head of a family of doctors who moved the world, and when Chu Huan first saw Pei Ji, he was just a cripple who played chess in Baitong Fang for a living, even more ordinary than ordinary people, but now, Chu Huan already knew that the lame man who played chess on the street at the beginning, I'm afraid that I have an amazing identity that I don't even know.

"Chu Du, do we want to go over?" Qi Hong asked softly.

Chu Huan thought for a moment and shook his head, Qi Hong frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Chu Du, Gan Hou attacked Zhu Lingyue against him, even you didn't know in advance, but now it seems that Mr. Pei already knows everything about this matter, why did he ...... Why is he hiding it from you? Wouldn't it be better if you had known about it? ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, it makes sense for him to do this." Although he said this, he also had a lot of doubts in his heart, if Pei Ji really knew that Gan Hou was his own person in advance, why did he hide it from himself?

Yu Gong, who is the governor of Xiguan, although he handed over all the strategic deployment of the Western Front to Pei Ji, but Ganhou counterattacked such a big thing, and he should also tell himself secretly. Yu Private, he and Pei Ji are sworn brothers, and they should not hide this matter from themselves.

It's just that he also knows that from knowing Pei Ji to now, although Pei Ji sometimes behaves strangely, and he doesn't even say too much about his true origin, he has always been thinking about himself, whether a person treats himself sincerely, Chu Huan can at least understand this, although Pei Ji does not completely talk about himself, but when he gets along with righteous brothers, Chu Huan can completely feel Pei Ji's sincerity to himself.

"Chu Du, Gan has come to ask you for his guilt!" Chu Huan turned around and was about to leave, not taking a few steps, there was a rough voice of Ganhou behind him, Chu Huan stopped, turned around, and saw Ganhou in heavy armor walking quickly, tiger and leopard, dignified and windy, no matter what, this battle, without Ganhou's counterattack, the Xiguan army would have been a fiasco, Chu Huan had already smiled and said: "General Gan, I said goodbye last time, but I haven't seen it for a while." ”

Gan Hou's expression was solemn, and his words were direct, "Chu Du, can you call your cavalry, close the cavalry in Gan's hand, and go to the west first!" ”

Although almost all of the Northwest Army are infantry, there are three pieces of tiles in the broken house, and there are nearly 1,000 cavalry in the army.

"Is General Gan preparing to hunt down the rout?" Chu Huan asked.

Gan Hou shook his head and said: "That's not the case, Chu Du doesn't know, Zhu Lingyue's soldiers and horses who invaded Xiguan this time are not only these 50,000 people, but in the rear, there are nearly 20,000 people, those are all recruited from the Tianshan Mountains to accompany the people, rhyming with grain, grass and ordnance equipment, when Zhu Lingyue killed from Hezhou, this baggage team fell behind, now like today's mountain army broke out, Gan is worried that these materials will fall back into the hands of the Tianshan army, you can take this opportunity, thousands of cavalry suddenly killed, can disperse the baggage team of Tianshan, Take the supplies! ”

"I see." Chu Huan didn't reply immediately, and asked, "General Gan, is Zhu Lingyue not dead yet?" ”

Gan Hou said: "Gan was about to ask Chu Governor for this. I was deceived by Zhu Lingyue, and it was his subordinate Zhang He who died, and he himself had taken advantage of the chaos to flee, and it was because of this that Gan wanted to pursue him quickly. Zhu Lingyue's army was scattered, he may not be willing to give up those heavy materials, it is very likely that he has already retreated to meet with the logistics baggage team, and at this time, he suddenly chased over, and he may not be able to find him there. ”

"Xu Shao, how many cavalry do we have available?" Chu Huan turned around and asked Xu Shao, who was following him.

"Back to Chudu, some of the cavalry who participated in the battle last night were too tired, and some were injured and are being treated, but there are still more than 2,000 people who can go out at any time."

"That's good!" Chu Huan said: "You lead them and obey General Gan's dispatch!" ”

Xu Shao said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Gan Hou nodded, his expression still looked solemn, similar to Chu Huan, he didn't seem to have the excitement after a big victory, and was about to leave, Chu Huan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "General Gan ......!" ”

Gan Hou arched his hand and said, "What else does Chu Du command?" ”

Chu Huan wanted to directly ask Gan Hou why he would fight back at the most critical time, but he also felt that it was not easy to ask at this time, so he just said: "This battle, but thank you General Gan and the brothers of the Northwest Army!" ”

Gan Hou hesitated, waved his hand, and didn't say much, but said to Xu Shao: "Commander Xu mobilized troops and horses, and quickly gathered in the west of the Horse Taming Valley. His steps looked heavy, and he didn't know if he was too tired.

Chu Huan looked at Gan Hou's back, thoughtful, and finally heard Pei Ji's voice in his ears: "Chu Du should thank him, at least he paid a great price for Chu Du......!" In the middle of the words, Pei Ji was already standing beside Chu Huan with a wooden stick, and he was also looking at Ganhou's back, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
