Chapter Ninety-Four: Revenge

Tian Jian was still asleep, and was suddenly woken up by a shaking, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Wang He, who was with him, who was constantly pulling him.

He yawned and asked in a daze, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

The two of them were ordered by Zhang Hao to set up an ambush by the river, and just arrived at the designated place in the early hours of this morning, and after agreeing to arrange for each person to take turns to train and monitor, everyone began to rest. It's just that it was less than three hours before he was woken up by Wang He.

Wang He said excitedly: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

"What's coming?"

"Of course we waited for that thing, the scouts just came back and said that they had just arrived, were resting on the other side, and should be crossing the river soon."

The tiredness on Tian Jian's face disappeared instantly, and he was also excited: "Let's go, it's time for the two of us to make meritorious contributions!" ”

The two led their troops and immediately approached the river.

Qiu Liju naturally didn't know that he had been targeted by the Han army who were waiting here in advance, and he was still happy that he could escape.

Although it is said that this success is based on the corpses of many Wuhuan people, Qiu Liju still feels that it is worth it. As long as his khan lives, Wuhuan will never die, and when these people die, new people will make up for it, and the lost livestock will be reborn.

As long as you give Wuhuan a chance to breathe, it won't be long before you can still take Wuhuan to become strong again.

After returning home, he immediately recalled the tribes in western Liaoning, and then sent envoys to pay tribute to the emperor of Han, and then he took the men and horses of the western Liaoxi tribes to conquer all the Wuhuan tribes.

Chuliju wanted to unite the whole of Wuhuan under his banner, and this was the lesson he had learned from this defeat, and the tribal leaders wanted to overthrow him.

If there are more people to speak, the hearts of the people under him will not be united, and only by leaving Wuhuan with a voice can he challenge the Han Dynasty again after becoming stronger.

As for the pilgrimage to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, there is no way to do it, if Zhang Hao is as good at talking as Liu Yu, it will not be better than running all the way to Luoyang.

As soon as he thought of Zhang Hao, Qiu Liju gritted his teeth with hatred. "I, Qiu Liju, swear to the gods that one day I will lead the army south again to seek revenge on Zhang Hao, and I will definitely break his body into ten thousand pieces to wash away the shame of this time!"

The resting place is almost over, enough cranky thoughts, and the immediate priority is to get out of the Great Wall and return to the grassland first.

Qiu Liju immediately ordered to set off, as long as he crossed the Great Liao River in front of him, it would be less than forty miles away from the Great Wall, and he could leave the Han Realm before evening, and the sky would be high and the birds would fly.

It's just that he was in a hurry to go home, and he didn't notice that there were cracks on the originally solid ice.

Wang He, who was lying on the snow not far away, said to Tian Jian beside him: "The Wuhuan people have crossed the river, let's go up now." ”

Tian Jian shook his head and stopped: "The person who came over now is only in charge of security, don't you see that the big man with the golden crown is still on the other side." ”

"Is that Wuhuan Khan, I'm too timid, if it's me, what does it matter when I run for my life."

"That's called prudence. Wait, that guy is coming. ”

It's easy to slip when you cross the ice, so everyone walks here. Tian Jian saw the right time, and when Qiu Liju was halfway through, he took the lead in standing up from the snow.

"Soldiers, avenge the villagers and kill all these Wuhuan dogs!"

Wang He also stood up: "Kill!" ”

Qiu Liju, who was still in the middle of the river, was startled, and he watched in horror as the dense Han army came towards him.

"There are no less than 10,000 people, where did these Han troops come from!"

The subordinates on the side hurriedly reminded: "Khan run, those Han soldiers are knocking on the ice!" ”

Qiu Liju shuddered, he also saw that several Han soldiers who were running fast were already holding weapons and knocking on the ice under their feet, and if they didn't run and wait for the ice to break, they would be buried at the bottom of the river.

The entire ice had already been knocked by the Han army who were watching in turn, and now every time they knocked it, the more cracks on the ice became, and the faster it cracked.

Qiu Liju ran back quickly, because it was too slippery, and he fell down several times, but he didn't dare to slack off, got up and continued to run. His ears could already clearly hear the sound of the ice beneath his feet beginning to crack.

Finally, when Qiu Liju, who had a blue nose and swollen face, stepped on the shore with his right foot, the entire ice surface was shattered, and pieces of ice of different sizes were floating on the original river surface.

Some Wuhuan people who didn't have time to run back sank directly into the river and struggled violently in the river. After a while, the fluttering sight was gone, and they all drowned due to cramps.

The Wuhuan people, who had already gone to the other side before, were either killed or surrendered under the attack of the Han army, which far outnumbered them.

Qiu Liju watched all this in shock, he hadn't received any news about the division of the Han army these days, and his plan to retreat had not been mentioned to anyone, how could the Han army be so coincidentally blocked here?

"It must be that bastard, it was he who told Zhang Hao about my plan, I didn't expect him to dare to betray me!" Qiu Liju immediately decided that it was the messenger's cronies who betrayed him, because he had told him about his plan to escape.

This is a bit wronged the slain messenger, the people did not betray Qiu Liju, but Qiu Liju in order to escape, at the last moment still let the messenger confuse Zhang Hao, and after running away, he didn't care about his life or death at all.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder sounded behind the Wuhuan people. It was really a wave of unsettled, and before Qiu Liju could recover from the accident just now, the god of death beckoned to him again.

It was the cavalry led by Zhang Hao who came, and the Wuhuan people had just delayed, just so that he could catch up with Qiu Liju by the river.

"God help me. Qiu Liju! Today is your time of death. ”

Qiu Liju also judged that the person in front of him was Zhang Hao. Although the two had not met once, they recognized each other at once on the battlefield.

"Zhang Hao, didn't I agree to your conditions, do you still want to kill me?"

"Let you go, and I will have no shame to face the soldiers and people who died in Wangping City! The whole army obeyed the order and killed all these Wuhuan people, leaving no prisoners this time! ”

As soon as Zhang Hao gave the order, Zheng Meng rushed directly to Qiu Liju on one person and one horse. Ever since he had learned how to recognize the commander of an enemy army, he had become obsessed with the thrill of taking the head of an enemy general.

Fighting between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out on the riverside. The Wuhuan people were exhausted, and they were even more trapped in death at this moment, and they were powerless to resist in the face of the menacing Han army, if it weren't for the Han army not leaving prisoners, they would have collapsed and surrendered long ago.

The reason why this kind of war is a classic is because it is difficult to replicate. As the chief of Yidi, Qiu Liju is obviously not as good as Xiang Yu and Han Xin, and Zhao Kuo and Ma Tan may also be stronger than him.

These Wuhuan cavalry, who are mainly based on Zhang Hao, in order to prove their loyalty and prove that they have broken off with the past, are really not soft at all when they kill their own clansmen of the same race and different tribes.

Of course, this also has something to do with their deep-rooted beliefs. The winner could have had everything and did whatever he wanted. And these losers in front of them deserve to die.

After the Han army on the other bank eliminated the Wuhuan people who crossed the river, they also began to cross the river and surrounded this side.

Although the Wuhuan people here have a strong will to survive, their resistance is disorganized, and their resistance is very pale in the face of the morale of their compatriots in the past.

The situation was already extremely unfavorable for Qiu Liju, he now had the protection of the guards, temporarily resisting Zheng Meng's attack, so he shouted at Zhang Hao unwillingly.

"General Zhang! Are you really going to kill me? How to say that I am also the lord of the clan, Wuhuan Khan, if you kill me, hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan tribes will definitely regard you as an enemy, and they will fight endlessly. Why don't you let me go, Wuhuan bows down to the Han family, and the two families get back together, isn't it more beneficial?

I agreed to all the conditions you put forward before, I will give you 200,000 livestock and 50,000 war horses, and then give you all the pastures in Liaodong, and give you 10,000 livestock and 5,000 war horses every year in the future. What do you think? ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Zhang Hao still led the cavalry to slaughter the Wuhuan people.

The guards in front of Qiu Liju fell one by one, which also made him even more anxious: "General Zhang, if you don't believe me, take me hostage, and then send someone to the Wuhuan tribe to ask for these things." I am a khan, and in order to redeem me, the tribe will definitely give you livestock and pasture!" ”

At this moment, the Wuhuan people were completely frightened, and the bank was surrounded by the Han army, so they threw themselves into the river full of ice despite the severe cold.

After jumping into the river, they grabbed the ice and tried to float on the water, but although the ice floe looked big, it could not bear the weight of a person. The Wuhuan people who jumped into the river struggled in the water for a few moments before sinking to the bottom of the river.

Originally, Qiu Liju wanted to do the same, but after seeing the fate of these people, he still flinched. Zhang Hao will never forgive himself, and now he can only fight.

He and the remaining guards besieged Zheng Meng together, wanting to fight to the death, but unfortunately this move hit Zheng Meng's hands. Zheng Meng gave up the escort and attacked Qiu Liju directly.

He slashed at Qiu Liju, only to be narrowly avoided by Qiu Liju. Before Qiu Liju could breathe a sigh of relief, his whole body fell to the side at once, and it turned out that his horse had been slashed to death. Zheng Meng's knife was originally aimed at the horse.

Qiu Liju, who grew up on horseback since he was a child, jumped off the horse at once to avoid being pressed by the horse. When he looked up again, a long shiny knife appeared above his head.

"Zhang Hao, you can't die well!"

These were Qiu Liju's last words, and after he uttered them, the long knife that fell from his head slashed him from his shoulder, splitting him in half.
