Mongolian horse is one of the oldest horse breeds in China and even in the world, mainly produced in the Mongolian steppe, and is a typical grassland horse breed. The horse is not very large, with an average shoulder height of about 1.3 meters. The body is stout, the limbs are solid and powerful, the physique is rough and strong, the head is large and the forehead is broad, the chest is deep and long, the legs are short, the joints are firm, and the tendons are developed.

This horse is extremely hardworking, not afraid of the cold, can adapt to the most extensive breeding management, has a strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions. It can be walked for about 60 kilometers in 8 hours. The well-trained Mongolian horse, which is not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, is extremely brave, and has always been a good military horse.

Right now, what Liu Yu is riding is a captured brown war horse, and because of the new owner, he doesn't dare to drive too much, gently fiddling with the reins and jogging on the official road. The golden pheasant slave who followed closely beside her also rode a yellow horse, and she was evidently very well tamed, holding a well-made riding bow in her hand, and making gestures from time to time.

Jiang Cai's capital raised the flag high in front, and in this cavalry team of more than 500 people, except for Liu Yu's own more than 20 forbidden army guards, the rest were Jiang Cai's troops. Jiang Cai himself walked in the middle of the team, and the first to open the way was his eldest son Jiang Ning, who rode more than ten miles forward, and came back from time to time to report what he saw along the way.

"What did you say?" Hearing the report of the visitor, Liu Yu was furious, he didn't need to see the truth, just listening to the description, he could imagine the tragic situation, slaughtering the village, there were no bandits in this vicinity, the only possibility was the rout.

"There are spies in the police station, these guards around him are all good hands, and they are all scattered, and they will definitely not be able to run far, search, they must be searched for Lao Tzu." Liu Yu didn't ask Jiang Cai's opinion, and directly gave an order. When his own guards heard this, they immediately dispersed and galloped around.

"Go and order Jiang Ning in the front, just do what Taishou said." Jiang Cai did not hesitate, this kind of unconscionable thing is also something he will never tolerate. Laiqi gave a salute to the two of them with a fist, and turned to leave. After a while, the entire front part of more than 100 people rode in groups of several people, and began to search various places in a fan shape.

Liu Yu got off the horse and walked to the side of the road to stand still, not far from the side of the road, there was a corpse of a fallen rout. It's exhausting to death, and of course, hungry, and it's not hard to imagine what a person would do in this state. Liu Yu was a little worried, this is tens of thousands of people, dozens of miles along the way, the towns are okay, you can retreat and keep yourself, but what about the villages scattered everywhere?

"Don't worry if you're too guarded, this gang of thieves can't run far." Jiang Cai's voice sounded behind him, and Liu Yu turned his head and wanted to make a laughing expression, but it was more ugly than crying.

"A certain person has been kidnapped by the Jin people since he was a child, and he has seen many tragic things, this world is like this, the people are like ants, the Tartars do not let go, and their own people also come to trample on them." Jiang Cai's words are full of vicissitudes and deep helplessness. As a northerner, he suffered a lot of discrimination in the army of the Song people, and his promotion was always unsuccessful.

"Don't let so-and-so know, otherwise, if you chase to the edge of the sky, so-and-so will not let these beasts go." Liu Yu slapped a palm on a tree and said hatefully. Jiang Cai looked at this strange young man, who didn't look like a civilian official at all, and he was quite similar to a military ruffian like himself.

"As far as Jiang knows, Taishou is not a member of the army, why did he appear in Lugang?" Jiang Cai asked the question in his heart, he saw Liu Yu's appearance on the battlefield with his own eyes, although he didn't kill a few people, he had no cowardice, as a civilian official, this is already worthy of admiration.

"Because I knew that your Taishi would have this defeat a month and a half ago, do you all believe it?" Liu Yu looked at this fierce general, the vanguard of the entire front of 70,000 people, and the witness of the war.

"I don't want to believe it, but I have to believe it, Taishou is for those military funds of the Lugang battalion?" Jiang Cai smiled bitterly, he really shouldn't believe it, but the facts are in front of him, and it seems that only this explanation makes sense.

"Exactly, if you don't move away, you will get cheap tartars today, do you all see those bed crossbows, the hard work of countless craftsmen in my Great Song Dynasty, if it falls into the hands of the enemy, what will happen?" What will happen, of course, is to turn back and deal with the Song army.

"On that day, the Tartars marched along both sides of the river, riding side by foot, leading more than 7,000 pioneers in the front, and were about to fight to the death with the Tartars, they heard the rear road shouting 'Stepsome escape'. The army was immediately defeated, and the Tartars pursued and killed along the road, ambushing the corpses for dozens of miles, and the river was red. ”

Jiang Cai's words did not have a trace of affection, even when it came to his pioneer camp brothers, they were extremely bland, but Liu Yu heard a sense of "mourning is greater than heart death". Of the more than 7,000 candidates, only more than 500 remain, which is truly one in ten.

"Did the Tartars use their cannons?" Liu Yu knew that the cannon in this period referred to large trebuchets, and the famous "Huihui cannon" of the Mongols was one of them.

"Yes, there are hundreds of them along the coast, so what, the stone can kill a few people when it falls, if the commander doesn't run, the soldiers will use their lives, how can they be afraid of the tartar." Jiang Cai stood proudly and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone thinks that after the Tartars invade Taiping Prefecture, what do they want to do next?" Liu Yu asked further, it was too abrupt to solicit directly, and he wanted to guide him step by step.

"Zuo but go up the river to capture Jiankang, or take Ningguo Mansion first and then enter Liangzhejiang." After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Cai replied that the possibility of attacking Jiankang is very high, and anyone with a little strategic vision can see it.

"Is Dutong willing to help Liu keep Jiankang? Hundreds of thousands of people in Jiankang Mansion hope that the capital will be unified like the hope of a great drought, and the same is true for the people, for the sake of the court, and please don't shirk it. Liu Yu saw that the time had come, and directly offered a killer weapon, judging from Jiang Cai's historical table, righteousness is the best weapon.

"Taishou tortured Jiang, I really don't know, how did Taishou know about Jiang, I am afraid that I have a negative entrustment, and I missed the big thing of Taishou." The so-called too much, Liu Yu's words once again had the opposite effect, Jiang Cai not only did not appreciate the tears and bowed, but was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again.

"Alas, Liu knows that people are soft-spoken, and they don't want to, so they should be." Liu Yu looked depressed, why was the aura of others invincible as soon as it was opened.

"Taishou, how do you say this, Jiang Mou definitely didn't mean that." Jiang Cai was taken aback, he really felt that he was nothing remarkable, he saw with his own eyes, the two genuine commanders were respectful to Liu Yu, what are they?

"That's all yes? That's good, that's good, the rest is insignificant. Liu Yu immediately said to death, this time, he was indeed a little anxious.

"Taishou, alas, it's just that Jiang is now under the control of the Taishi, I don't know if there will be trouble." Jiang Cai was speechless, but he was also a little moved, after all, it is human nature to be valued.

"It's okay, please relax, this matter will be handled by Liu, if you are not satisfied, you can leave by yourself, and you will never stop it." Jia Rudao himself is already difficult to protect, and he will take care of this, Liu Yu showed a smiling face for the first time today.

"In this case, from now on, Jiang and his subordinates will be under the command of Taishou, but if they are sent, they will not dare to resign." Jiang Cai also simply, since he recognized it, he simply did it earlier.

It didn't take much effort for the scouts to find the rout, and the group of bad guys were munching on a field, and when the five hundred horsemen came up from all sides, everyone stared blankly and did nothing.

"Tie up, take away." Liu Yu's people tied the defeated soldiers into a string with straps, a total of more than 200 people, all of whom were tied with looted property, and their tools for killing turned out to be axes, kitchen knives and other items robbed from the people's homes.

Bringing people to the looted village, Liu Yu and they saw the whole tragic situation clearly, the whole village was killed, even the young children were not spared, and the surrounding cavalry were a little excited, this is still in their own land, but they were brutalized like this by the so-called own people.

Under Liu Yu's order, all the routs began to dig pits to bury the corpses in the village, with a fluke mentality, the routs moved quickly, and after a while, a new grave stood next to the village.

"All of them were cut off, the heads were enshrined in front of the graves, and the corpses were thrown to feed the dogs. harmed my Great Song people, no matter who it is, it will be this fate. Liu Yu looked at the expectant eyes of the defeated soldiers and coldly gave the order. Before they could react, Jiang waved his hand, and more than five hundred cavalry urged their horses to rush over. In a moment, I heard wails and flesh flying.

Outside the county seat of Tu, the entire city outline was cleared, hundreds of errands and people cooked porridge in large pots, lined up along the road, and on the nearby official road, heavily armed soldiers of the forbidden army stood behind the fence with knives and guns in their hands, and rows of people were put in order, which was the shelter for the rout army set up by Jin Ming.

"Commander Jin, when will Liu Jiyi arrive?" It was Meng Zhijin of Taipingzhou who spoke, Jin Ming, who was standing on the city tower, shook his head, he knew that Liu Yu had arrived, but he didn't want to sue him.

All the routs who came in could only get a bowl of gruel, which was not enough to feed people, but it was guaranteed not to starve to death. This is also to prevent them from having the strength to control it, after all, it is tens of thousands of people.

When Liu Yu's cavalry arrived, it was almost night, hundreds of torches illuminated the camp, and more than 500 cavalry lined up in two columns and rushed straight into the camp.

The arrival of the cavalry completely shocked the rout, and there were originally those who were ready to make trouble for more and less gruel, but they all settled down when they saw this scene. Liu Yu took the golden pheasant slave off the horse, climbed the city tower, greeted the two with his eyes, then took out a megaphone and shouted to the camp:

"A certain Jianghuai is still sent by the ambassador, especially for you, and some still think that they are still soldiers of the forbidden army, and after drinking porridge, they go to lead the army, and the team is above ten military sticks, and the following five military sticks, those with full armor, minus three sticks, half a banner, minus two sticks, and those with blades, minus one stick. To go or not to go, listen to the convenience. ”

"Why should someone who sacrifices his life and forgets to die here?" When everyone heard this, they questioned in unison.

"That's a good question, why did you come to sue Sùer and others, and you will collapse without a fight, leaving behind your comrades in the army, should it be a military law? Should it be a military law to discard the ordnance flag? A certain also knows that the commander of the village will flee first, but that has its own court law, a certain today only investigates you, there are those who are not convinced, and a certain has also said that it is not forced, and it can be dispersed by itself, only a little, there are those who dare to harm the neighbors, you can try a certain knife quickly. To tell you the truth, along the way, a certain has killed thousands of such thieves! ”

Liu Yu's words quieted everyone down, they were all making choices, Liu Yu was not in a hurry, this is his screening method, he can calmly accept the military stick, it shows that he still cares about military discipline and honor, and he doesn't want to collapse again in future battles.

"Damn, it's just ten military sticks, I can stand it. Today's injustice, he found it on the Tartar on the same day, and he went here, and the man followed. Liu Yu looked at it, but it was Jiang Cai, with the lead, most people had a herd mentality, and after a while, the sound of "crackling" boards sounded.

"Meng Taishou has worked hard, this matter has been successful, Taishou has contributed a lot, the Tartars have now invaded Taiping Prefecture, and they will come to Tu in a few days, Taishou will go to Jiankang with a certain one." Liu Yu turned his head to Meng Zhijin and said, he did not ask for his opinion, but informed him.
