"That.. Ma Yuanjun didn't agree? Qiu Liju asked hopefully.

"When my head is cut off by you, the king, and given to my lord, my lord will let the messengers set off. Take me there, I haven't taken a shower for a few days, and my neck is itching to death, so it's time to get happy. As he spoke, Gan Shi rubbed his neck and began to pull Albu Valley out.

Albugu looked at Qiu Liju, and didn't know what to do for a while, Qiu Liju forced a smile and shouted, "Why did the Taoist say this, how could I hurt the Taoist chief?" Hurry up and prepare the banquet, I want to feast on the Taoist! ”

Gan Shi turned around and said, "I just saw that the king made the Han people slaves, and the Han women as military prostitutes, sending troops everywhere to kill and loot, aren't you ready to fight to the death with my Han?" If we are going to fight to the death, isn't my head the best thing to sacrifice to the flag? ”

"This... Where does this begin? Qiu Liju couldn't help but wonder: "What I have plundered is just some pariahs!" Please don't misunderstand. ”

Qiu Liju even wanted to say, don't you also fight like this to catch strong men and plunder women, why is it wrong for me?

Gan Shi shook his head and said, "King, my lord treats the people like a son, and now Wuhuan is robbing the Han people like robbing my lord's son, how can I not misunderstand?" ”

Qiu Liju was silent, if Gan Shi asked him to withdraw from the army, he would agree, but if he wanted him to release the captured Han slaves and women, then he would never agree, if he agreed, I am afraid that he would be assassinated on the way back to the army.

After running so far and hard, you can't get anything, such a leader, keep it for the New Year.

Seeing Qiu Liju so hesitant, Gan Shi took out a package from his arms and said, "By the way, this time I also brought a gift to the king, please see it!" ”

As he spoke, Gan Shi opened the package, and inside was a battle flag, with a word written on it, which was full of blood, which could be seen to have been captured on the battlefield.

"What is this?"

"This is the battle flag raised by the traitor, Zhang Ju's head should have been sent to Luoyang by fast horse at this time, the king, whether it is life or death, the survival and death of hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan people, but it is all in the king's thoughts."

Qiu Liju couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he didn't expect Zhang Ju to be wiped out so quickly, it seems that even if there is a Taiping Dao in it, the big man is still the big man.

Fortunately, he didn't offend Ma Qiang in Jixian County at that time, otherwise his head should not be sent to Luoyang.

Qiu Liju suddenly felt that his neck seemed to be a little itchy.

"Dao Chief, I rebelled against the Han, I was indeed bewitched by Zhang Ju and others, now that Zhang Ju is dead, if you can open the border city, I am willing to return to the Han Dynasty, and I can send troops to serve the Han!" Qiu Liju didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly said.

Gan Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, he heard it, Qiu Liju was willing to do it anyway, but he was unwilling to ask him to hand over the Han people he had captured.

Wuhuan is very profitable, and it is true.

Gan Shi remembered what Yan Rou said when he was in the difficult building department in the past.

"The king is so reluctant to hand over the capture, but he is worried that if he doesn't get anything, he can't explain it to his clansmen, you can rest assured that as long as the king defeats Zhang Chun anyway, my lord will definitely write to the Son of Heaven, please open the border market, and sell it to the king at a low price, with iron, Xianbei in the north, Buyeo and Goguryeo in the east are the hunting grounds of the king, why should the king lose a big because of a small thing?"

"Ironware? How much are you willing to give us? Qiu Liju was moved at this time, if there were a large number of iron weapons, it would be nothing to release the thousands of Han people he caught, and there were many slaves on the grassland.

If the Han Dynasty is willing to give enough money, grain and iron in exchange, Qiu Liju is willing to lead the army to fight with Xianbei, not to mention that it is not as good as Xianbei's Buyeo and Goguryeo.

Anyway, if he doesn't fight, these chaotic tribes will also come to harass Wuhuan.

"There are as many slaves as the king can exchange, how many can be there, the king, Lord Nanlou and Ma Yuanjun have been doing business for so long, is there a loss?"

"Haha, that's... What does the Taoist say count? ”

"The king can trap these Han people here first, and then trade after Zhang Chun is eliminated, but from now on, he can't hurt them anymore."

Qiu Liju thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he swore an oath with Gan Shi, and then summoned all the generals and announced that he would return to the Han Dynasty.

After the confused Wuhuan generals learned that Ma Qiang had become a substitute assassin and promised to reopen the border market, they all screamed excitedly.

Ma Qiang, in the hearts of Wuhuan people, it is more God of Wealth than Zhang Ju, look at the difficult building is now called a chic, and the mother-in-law has accepted several new ones, as for what to exchange iron for Han slaves, as long as you give the money in place, you can change my mother-in-law away!

If you have an iron weapon in your hand, are you afraid that you won't be able to catch your mother-in-law?

Don't look at the Han Dynasty has been popularizing iron tools for hundreds of years, but there are still few iron tools on the grassland, even the Wuhuan people who go out on the expedition can't hold an iron spear in their hands.

The lack of iron tools is more important is that most of the iron tools at this time are easy to corrode, if they are used as ordnance, they need to be replaced after several battles, and if there is no stable supply of iron tools, the grassland will always be short of iron.

But once there is, the combat effectiveness of these steppe tribes can be doubled.

Gan Shi looked at these excited Wuhuan people, but he was faintly worried in his heart, once these Wuhuan people were given a large number of iron weapons, would there be trouble in the future.

Kindness... I have to find a way to let Wu Huan die some people, go back and talk to Duan Ying, he will have a way.

Gan Shi quickly threw the pot to Duan Ying, who was far away in Jixian County, and then began to ask Qiu Liju to test the enthusiasm of the Wuhuan girl.

This night, Gan Shi's waist was very sore...

The next day, Qiu Liju unfurled the Han flag and set off for Zhang Chunjun, and a big battle was about to begin.

At the same time that almost the entire territory of Youzhou was plunged into war, the counterinsurgency troops of the Eastern Han Dynasty also entered their respective battlefields.

Let's talk about Huangfu Gui and Zhu Jun first, their two armies went out at the same time, and soon arrived in Yingchuan County, Sun Jian also came to Yingchuan with a thousand elites and joined forces with Zhu Jun.

Although Zhu Jun had elite soldiers and good generals, his troops were too small, and he could not resist at all in the face of the Yellow Turban Army of the Bocai Department, which had expanded to nearly 200,000, and could only retreat to Changshe and Huangfu Gui after losing the first battle, and waited for reinforcements.

And Lu Zhi led the army in Jizhou and Zhangjiao around Yecheng fierce battles, the two sides did not fight day long, the plot stacked up, one side is a strong general, excellent armament, one side has many generals, high morale, dozens of days still win or lose.

As for Qin Jie in Nanyang, he was also unable to attack Zhang Mancheng repeatedly, and the two armies also fell into a confrontation, and at the same time, Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, continued to gather Jingzhou soldiers and horses to cooperate with Qin Jie.

For a time, the three major battlefields were in a stalemate, and the two sides had each other's victories and defeats, but no one could help anyone.

But Zhang Jiao in Yecheng understood that the Yellow Turban Army had lost the opportunity, and the further it went, the more disadvantageous it became.

After all, Luoyang can continue to send reinforcements, but he has no reinforcements.

No, it should also be said that there is, what is Cheng Zhiyuan from Youzhou doing? At that time, he shouldn't have relented and let him re-command the Youzhou Yellow Turban, which was too much of a delay!
