Chapter 181: Return to Quanzhou

The commander of the opposing party, only then did he discover the enemy's intentions and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to retreat to the side. But at this moment, it was too late to react like this.

The weather in early winter is already very dry, and this season is prone to fires. In addition, the hay everywhere was sprinkled with tung oil, and the rockets were fired on the grass, and the majestic fire immediately burst into flames, and the entire dry lawn immediately became a sea of fire.

Animals are naturally afraid of fire, and these trained horses are no exception. A fire burned at their feet. The horses neighed and ran wildly across the meadow, and the knights on the horses could not control their horses with all their might.

The galloping horses, some of them fiercely, crashed together and fell to the ground, crushing the knights of the horses under them.

There were also some war horses, on the grass, jumping and jumping. Throwing the knight off the horse, the knight who was lucky enough to get up and quickly run to a place where there was no fire. And some of the unlucky ones couldn't pull their feet out of the pedals and were dragged around by the horses that had gone crazy.

The fire broke out quickly, and in a short time, most of the dry lawn was filled with fire.

The horses and soldiers trapped in the flames were able to run wildly at first, trying to escape the burning flames.

But at this moment, there are raging fires burning everywhere around them, where can they find a safe place!

After only a short time, many horses and soldiers fell in the flames. They struggled frantically in the sea of fire, but their struggles became weaker and weaker, and finally they did not move.

There were also some soldiers who were on fire and wanted to roll on the ground to extinguish the fire. But the ground was full of burning dead grass and tung oil, and not only did they not extinguish the fire on their bodies, but they burned even more because of the tung oil.

Yang Yun personally saw that there were several people covered in fire. ran for a short distance on the grass, and then finally lost control and fell into the fire.

There were also others, whose clothes were set on fire. They frantically pulled off their clothes, but the remaining armor was already burned hot, and in a panic, they couldn't remove the armor this time. After a few tosses, they were all completely engulfed by the sea of fire without exception.

After a short tea time, this dry lawn has become a purgatory on earth, and countless people and horses are constantly rolling in the sea of fire. The screams of the soldiers and the screams of the horses were intertwined, and everyone who heard them was terrified.

Yang Yun and Tuoba Du led their men to the edge of the dry lawn, and after successfully igniting the fire, they quickly withdrew from the dry lawn and retreated to safety, quietly watching what was happening in the dry lawn.

At this time, some enemy soldiers who reacted quickly successfully broke away from the sea of fire and rushed towards the location of Yang Yun and the others.

But these people were directly used as targets for archery practice by the men of Tuoba Du, who had been prepared for a long time.

A very small number of enemy soldiers who rushed in front of everyone were also surrounded by Tuobadu's men and cut down directly to the ground.

The course of this battle was completely unexpected by everyone, and the side with the superior numbers became the target of slaughter.

The three forces sent by Kuban, the teams that pursued Tuoba Du and others, were all elite forces under him. Most of these people are soldiers who can really fight well, but they didn't expect to suffer a crushing defeat here.

This encounter ended in just over an hour, during which time the three forces approached 30,000 men.

More than half of the people died in the fire, and the few soldiers who survived were killed in the chaos and encountered the people led by Yang Yun and Tuoba Du, and many were killed

In the end, less than 10,000 Kuban soldiers managed to escape from the fire and the enemy's pursuit. Among them, there are many people with varying degrees of injuries.

In such a situation, the surviving soldiers had already been frightened by this tragic battle, lost the ability to fight again, and fled to the rear in embarrassment.

It didn't take long for the battle on the dry lawn to reach the ears of the Kuban. Kuban couldn't believe that so many elite forces were so embarrassed by this few thousand people.

The furious Kuban dragged out several leading generals who had returned from defeat and beheaded them for public display. He also ordered the surrounding tribes to quickly organize their forces, vowing to break Tuobada's corpse into 10,000 pieces.

The tens of thousands of people sent out have been hit hard, and it is not easy to reorganize the manpower. It took several more days for the Kuban to reorganize less than 20,000 men, frantically searching for traces of Tuoba Du and others.

But the strange thing is that Tuoba Du and his men seem to have evaporated from the world, completely disappearing from the sight of everyone in the forces to which the Kuban belongs.

Kuban sent many spies to search the surrounding places, but they did not find any trace of Tuoba Du and others.

In the desert, more than two hundred miles away from the bitter lawn, there was a group of cavalry. It is facing the long wind and sand. Difficult progress on the sand.

These people are none other than Tuoba and his men that Kuban is looking for.

After the great victory on the dry lawn, Tuoba Du followed Yang Yun's instructions and asked his men to prepare enough food and water, and then marched all the way to the vast desert.

Kuban wanted to break his head, but he didn't expect that after Tuoba Du achieved the victory, he did not flee in the direction of Quanzhou according to ordinary people's ideas, so that the pocket he had laid in front of him was completely useless.

Tuoba Du led his men and walked in the desert for six or seven days, because he was well prepared. Even in the desert, there was no danger.

When Expansion and his men reappeared, in the sight of Kuban's men, they were already more than 300 miles away from the dry lawn.

This unusual route of march allowed them to successfully jump out of the encirclement of the Kuban.

Wait for Kuban to discover the traces of Tuoba Du and others. When I wanted to redeploy my troops and kill Tuoba Du and the others again, it was too late.

With enough horses, food and water, Tuobadu's march was unusually fast, and within a few days, the tall walls of Quanzhou City were already in sight.

The successful arrival of Yang Yun and Tuoba Du in Quanzhou made the officials who had been waiting in Quanzhou and the Liuyi soldiers and civilians who had already arrived in Quanzhou feel extremely excited.

Prior to this, Yebuda had already brought the soldiers and civilians of the Liuyi tribe who supported him to Quanzhou and stationed there.

At the same time, because Kuban sent most of his troops to encircle and suppress Tuoba Du and others, Tuoba Du and several other teams under his command were separated. There was not too much trouble, and everyone had already rushed to Quanzhou without danger.

The Gengen tribe and the Feihuang tribe led by Tuoba and Yebuda were the two largest forces opposing the Kuban. After their victory in Quanzhou, the situation in Liuyi changed greatly.

Kuban's killing of the former Khan king Tuoba Ye originally caused the dissatisfaction of the tribes in the ancient steppe. In order to consolidate his rule, Kuban also excluded dissidents and killed forces that opposed him, which had already aroused the dissatisfaction of many forces.

After learning the news that Tuoba Du and Yebuta would join forces in Quanzhou, many forces dissatisfied with Kuban moved to their homes.

Go to the vicinity of Quanzhou to take refuge in Tuoba and Yebuda.

In just a few months, hundreds of thousands of displaced people gathered near Quanzhou.

On the occasion of the New Year, the leaders of the various Liuyi forces gathered near Quanzhou held a general meeting at which they elected Tuoba Du as the Khan King, and asked Tuoba Du to lead them to deal with Kuban together.

After Tuoba Du became the king of Khan, he quickly led the soldiers of various ethnic groups to occupy a large area of land near Quanzhou in the ancient grassland.

Later, the Tuoba and Kuban forces fought against each other across the Wur River, the largest river in the steppe.

At this point, the various tribes of Liuyi, which had been unified for many years, were divided into two parts, and they were appointed as Khan kings by Kuban and Tuoba respectively.

The power of the Kuban, in the northwest of the Wuer River in the Wangu grassland, near the king of Chu, was supported by the king of Chu, Zhao Yuanrang, and later generations called it "Xiliuyi." ”

The forces to which Tuoba Du belonged, in the southeast direction of the Wuer River, relied on Dafu and formed an alliance with Dafu, which was called "Dongliuyi" by later generations. ”

This is what happened after that. Yang Yun didn't get involved anymore. Soon after returning to Quanzhou, he embarked on the road back to Wu County.

It has been several years since he left Wuxian Yang Yun, and he misses this land very much. I don't know how many times, in my dreams, I returned to this familiar land and saw that I missed my relatives.

As the saying goes, there are many good things, Yang Yun's return to Wu County once again failed to fulfill his wishes, and an urgent holy decree asked Yang Yun to go to Xijing first.

After receiving the holy decree, Yang Yun smiled bitterly, the holy order could not be violated, so he had to turn around and move forward in the direction of Xijing City.

In order to avoid Chi Li's concern and worry about Wu County's loss, he asked Ju Yuanguang and Liu Yue, Qi Wei and others to return to Wu County first.

Originally, according to Yang Yun's meaning, he wanted Duanmu Jiyue and Qiao Yuwei to also return to Wuwu County first. But these two most lively guys, when they heard that Yang Yun was going to Xijing City, they didn't want to go to Wu County if they were killed, so in desperation, Yang Yun had to take these two troublemakers to Xijing.

A few years ago, Yang Yun was just an inconspicuous ordinary prince, not only did the royal family look down on him, but even some powerful officials in the court were blinded by him.

But now, that has changed. Yang Yun made some contributions to the imperial court and was named King of Wu.

This time, Yang Yun sent Zheng Guo, overcame difficulties and obstacles, and successfully reached an alliance with Zheng Guo and Yu Yue.

These people who can mix up an official position in the imperial court. May Day is all human spirits. They know. Before. This humble thirteen princes. For now. It's not the same anymore.

A lot of foreign aid in the imperial court. Government affairs may be mediocre. But when it comes to observing words and colors. The ability to slap horses. But one is more refined than the other.

These people are people with brains. knew that this time Yang Yun had made a great contribution to the imperial court. Get authentic wind-blown sand. Yes, yes.

What's more. After going through these things. Yang Yun has a certain status in the eyes of Emperor Fu. It's going to be a lot higher. So. His voice in the court will also increase a lot.

In this case, Yang Yun was unprecedentedly welcomed by officials along the way on his way to Xijing.

The enthusiastic banquets, visits again and again, and a lot of gifts made Yang Yun overwhelmed.

But now Yang Yun is no longer like the previous ten years, and he doesn't understand human feelings. All banquets can be attended by all, and all gifts should be accepted if they do not violate the principle. All officials visit, depending on the situation. Carry out receptions.
