The main problem facing Qiuyundu now is the raiding of Shaodi by the Kelan Tribe. If this matter is placed in other ministries or even other places of the first zero department, they will not care too much, at most let them grab some cattle and sheep, let the people raise them later, or simply lead the army to repel them, but it is not for Qiu Yundu, the land is barren, and he can't afford to supply his army, so he can only rely on Shaodi, if the cattle and sheep in Shaodi are robbed, won't these people starve and freeze? This is also the reason why Guang Qiulu did not garrison troops in Shaodi under such circumstances.

The problem now is that you know that the Kelan Department wants to plunder Shaodi, but you can't garrison troops in Shaodi, otherwise you will violate the military order, and Qiuyundu will get into trouble. If the Kelan army is definitely coming, then Qiu Yundu would rather disobey the military order and station an army in Shaodi than let the Kelan army succeed, but unfortunately, if the army is stationed, the Kelan army will probably not come, so that Qiu Yundu will violate the military order in vain and gain nothing. Qiu Yundu couldn't think of a proper way for a while, so he had to order the nest to be recalled to discuss together.

Chao Tu hurriedly returned, and entered the head village of the regiment with Gai Ying and others to discuss countermeasures, and when Chao Tu understood the reason, he couldn't help but be anxious, and said: "At this time, the sergeants have just been selected, and they have not yet been trained, so it can be said that they are now half of the army and half of the people, once they join the army, they will have a large number of cattle and sheep to feed, if they are robbed by the Kelan Department, then we can only starve." ”

"It's a pity that the land is barren and we can't feed the cattle and sheep, otherwise we could have moved the cattle and sheep here first," Kuchin said. ”

Qiu Yundu asked, "How many sergeants have been recruited?" ”

Chao said: "There are more than 500 sergeants, but they are not trained, and once the war starts, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the Kelan army and will be sent to death in vain." It is better to transfer them here beforehand. ”

Qiu Yundu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, you must transfer here first." ”

Everyone couldn't help but wonder when they saw Qiu Yundu's happy appearance, thinking that even if they moved here, what was there to be happy about? Qiu Yundu said in a low voice: "Those people have moved here, and the people will seem to be less, and if we add the Iron Cavalry Army, there will be no abnormality at first glance, right?" ”

Hearing this, Kuchin exclaimed, "Good idea, let's have the sergeants disguise themselves as civilians, and once the Koran army comes, we can use these sergeants to resist for a while." ”

Qiu Yundu nodded and said, "Chao Tu, you quickly go and arrange, remove those sergeants and bring the young people here, and let our seven hundred iron cavalry troops all be replaced." ”

Chao Suotu nodded and said, "Although it is possible, our iron cavalry can't ride horses to herd sheep, right?" That would arouse the suspicion of the Kolan tribe, but if they didn't ride horses, the cavalry of the Kelan tribe would rush to them, and it would be difficult to resist with the strength of 700 men. ”

Qiu Yundu smiled: "It's okay, I have my own way." He said to Kuchin: "Ku Yan Chief, you led a thousand troops of your headquarters to return to Kaisha City with great fanfare, but quietly sneaked to the northeast of Shaodi from the halfway, and when the Kelan army comes, there will be many horses left, you don't care about anything else, just collect the empty horses, and then bring them back to Yuedi is a great achievement." ”

Kucchinchi said: "Although they are cavalry, how can they come with empty horses? ”

Qiu Yundu smiled: "If there is no empty horse, I am the only one who asks." ”

Then he turned to the nest Tu and Gai Ying and said: "You two take our seven hundred iron cavalry to scatter in Shaodi near the northwest, first prepare dead wood and gravel to scatter there, and after the Kelan army infantry comes, you can't make any moves, and then gather to cut off their back road when they go deep into Shaodi." ”

When everyone heard this, they understood, and they couldn't help but be clever. Qiu Yundu only kept Zongyi and Niu Ben by his side.

After the matter was discussed, Qiu Yundu left Zongyi alone and gave instructions carefully.

The Klan Department is in the northwest pole of Guli, surrounded by mountains, only one road in the south can pass, there are two most dangerous places on this road, the Kelan Department will build fortresses in these two places, the outermost is the Tingkou Fortress, and then the inside is the Tooth Mouth Fortress, to enter the main city of the Kelan City, you must first pass through these two fortresses.

Because of these two fortresses, although the Klan tribe is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not easy for them to send troops to plunder, they must first go out of the Tingkou fortress, so that their whereabouts will be discovered quickly, so every time they go out of the army, there are only one or two thousand soldiers, and they will quickly retreat when they see a bad opportunity.

This time, they still only had 1,500 troops, but they were led by two thousand regiment leaders, one named Cong Yingzhuo, who was only twenty years old; The other is Ran Gonglu, 38 years old.

Although Yingzhuo is young, he is extremely brave, coupled with his good resourcefulness, his reputation in the Kolan tribe has gradually increased, and he also has an identity, he is the son of Congwuban, one of the top ten leaders of the Kolan tribe and one of the top ten leaders of Guli. This time, however, he led the operation.

Since Ying Zhuo had already discovered that there was no garrison in Shaodi, and now the cattle and sheep in Shaodi are getting fatter, it is the time to plunder, although Yue Di has sent a new garrison, but there are less than 1,000 troops, so he and Ran Gonglu brought 1,500 troops out of Tingkou Fortress to station, and sent people to listen to the movement again, and suddenly heard that there were 1,000 troops stationed in Yuedi, and he did not dare to act easily from Ying Zhuo's heart. But he also knew that the land was desolate, and there was no need for so many garrisons, and this thousand troops went either on a temporary mission, or they had seen through the intentions of the Kelan army and came specifically to resist them. From Ying Zhuo, he couldn't tell for a while, so he asked people to inquire again. After two days, this army did not go to Shaodi to station, but went to Kaisha City, and Ying Zhuo was overjoyed, and it was expected that this army was not coming for himself, so he was ready to move.

After the thousand-person team had been gone for most of the day, it was estimated that they had already moved away from Yuedi, and they had only started to do it since Ying Zhuo. When he reached the northeast of Shaodi, he did not rush in with 1,500 troops, but let Ran Gonglu lead 500 troops to camp here, and he only brought 1,000 troops into Shaodi.

After entering Shaodi, he immediately discovered two strange phenomena from Yingzhuo. First, for some reason, there are so many miscellaneous trees and gravel in front, which occupy a large area scattered; Second, the cattle and sheep of Shaodi today are basically gathered in the southwest for grazing, and from a distance, the white sheep and the yellow cattle are not a few.

From Ying Zhuo's heart, he snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that I knew that we were coming to loot, so I hid there." Seeing that the horses could not move due to the debris and rubble, he ordered a thousand cavalry to be converted into an infantry army, leaving a hundred sergeants to guard the horses, and leading the rest of the men to rush into Shaodi.

In fact, if Yingzhuo's father came from Wuban at this time, he would never have led the army into Shaodi so easily. Although Yingzhuo is becoming famous in the Kolan Department, it is more than a cut or two worse than from Wuban, not to mention anything else, just to capture and distinguish this ordinary atmosphere, from Yingzhuo this fashion is very immature, but there is no way, if it is not like from Wuban, who has experienced a hundred battles and experienced the baptism of blood and tears, it is bound to be difficult to reach that level, this is not too careful, but sharp as the sixth sense, often plays a vital role. Although he was also a famous leader from Yingzhuo to Guli, he was still not at the level of being from Uban.

After entering Shaodi, he led the Klan army from Yingzhuo to the cattle and sheep grazing land, there were still many idle people around, but they only came for cattle and sheep, as long as the people did not resist them, they would not attack them. Seeing that it was getting closer, the herdsmen gradually began to riot, shouting and trying to drive the cattle and sheep away, but where did they come from at this time? From Yingzhuo shouted: "Only kill cattle and sheep, and don't hurt the people." The sergeants responded in unison, and were about to start, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and hundreds of cavalry seemed to fall from the sky and appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

From Ying Zhuo's heart, he was shocked, and said secretly: "This must be the defenders of Yuedi, I didn't expect it to come so quickly." "Although he has nearly a thousand people, and the other party seems to have only four or five hundred people, but the other party is all cavalry, once the battle starts, the other party has enough advantages, Congying Zhuo does not dare to move for a while.

But when he saw the cavalry approaching but did not move, one of them stepped forward and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

Seeing that the man was very young and on a par with himself, he said, "I am the head of the Thousand Regiments of the Kolan Division, who are you?" ”

The man was slightly stunned and asked, "From Yingzhuo?" Dare to ask who are you from Uban? ”

From Ying Zhuo said: "You also know my father's name? ”

How can Qiuyundu not know from the name of Uban? This time, he brought more than 500 cavalry troops to ambush at the junction of Yuedi and Shaodi, and ordered the people of Shaodi to graze close here, just to lure the Kelan army to come, but unfortunately these 500 troops are all quasi-sergeants newly recruited by Chao Tu, and they do not have much combat power, even at this time he does not dare to move, otherwise once the war starts, although these more than 500 people are cavalry, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of the other party.

Qiu Yundu immediately gave a slight salute to Congying Zhuo, and said, "It turns out that Shaoquan has arrived, and Qiu Yundu is polite." ”

Congying Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Qiu Yundu, you really joined the first zero department?!" ”

Qiu Yundu nodded and said, "Now I am the leader of the first zero thousand regiments. ”

Hearing this, Ying Zhuo sneered, and said, "Hmph, it turns out that the famous Qiu Shaoquan is only worthy of being the head of a thousand regiments!" The reputation of the first zero department is 'full of reputation Guli', and Shaoquanshou can be regarded as finding the right place. ”

Qiu Yundu knew what he said and said the opposite, and said with a smile: "Shaoquan Shouyuan came here to praise me on purpose?" ”

Congying Zhuo said angrily: "Qiu Yundu, don't be long-winded, although you have a cavalry army, I am not afraid of you, do you dare to fight alone with me?" ”

Qiuyundu said: "Shaoquanshou thinks that my mere 500 cavalry is not enough to exterminate you? So how about you go back and see again? ”

From Ying Zhuo was stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look back, but saw that hundreds of soldiers had gathered behind him at some point, all of them were on standby, guarding their retreat from afar.

From Ying Zhuo's heart, he knew that he had fallen into Qiuyundu's ambush today, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew that the other party had already prepared, but unfortunately he didn't notice it for a while, and now there was no way out, so he shouted: "Sergeant Kelan listens to the order, and I would rather die than surrender." ”

Sergeant Kelan shouted in unison, not panicking at all. Qiu Yundu admired slightly in his heart, and said to Congying Zhuo: "I have heard the name of the head of Wuban for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to meet, but today I met Shao Quanshou, Zongyi, you and compete with Cong Shao Quanshou to see if he is convinced." ”

Hearing this, Zongyi immediately jumped off his horse, waved his spear, and shouted, "Please come from Shaoquan." ”

From Ying Zhuo knowing that he was under siege, Qiu Yundu humiliated himself so much, and sent an unknown subordinate to compete with him, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, looked at Zong Yi and thought, "Okay, cut off your claws first, and then take Qiu Yundu's life." He raised his long-handled thick-backed knife and ran towards Zongyi.

But Congying Zhuo underestimated Zongyi, Zongyi is also a brave person under Qiu Yundu, although he is not as good as Niu Ben, but he is slightly stronger than others, and after more than ten rounds, he has a tie with Congying Zhuo. Zong Yi couldn't help but secretly admire the other party, although Qiu Yundu had secretly told him that he was not allowed to take the other party's life before, but now it seems that even if he has the heart, he does not have the ability.

Qiu Yundu couldn't imagine that Ying Zhuo was so brave, so he couldn't help nodding secretly, Niu Ben rode around in a hurry, and couldn't help scolding: "Zongyi, can you do it?" What if you haven't eaten? him. After dozens of rounds, Zongyi gradually fell into the upper hand, Niu Ben couldn't bear it anymore, turned over and jumped off the horse and rushed up and shouted: "Get out of the way, let me see how capable this kid is." Zongyi had to get out of the way.

Cong Yingzhuo was not afraid, and shouted: "Qiu Yundu, you also come up together, so as not to waste my work." ”

Seeing that he looked down on himself so much, Niu Ben couldn't help but be furious, and said, "Boy, you are better than your Grandpa Niu first!" "Drinking violently, the long-handled axe danced in the wind.

Rao is brave from Yingzhuo, but after all, he fought with Zongyi before, and Niu Ben is really brave, from Yingzhuo gradually can't resist, Qiu Yundu saw that the fire had arrived, so he shouted: "Niu Ben retreat." ”

Niu Ben's big axe shook, forced him to retreat from Yingzhuo, pulled back, and said: "This kid really has two hits, hehe, but unfortunately he is not my opponent." ”

From Ying Zhuo saw that the other party had a chance to win, but suddenly retreated, suspicious in his heart, and shouted to Qiu Yundu: "Qiu Yundu, what conspiracy do you have?" ”

Qiu Yundu said with a smile: "From the young to the brave and unmatched, I will wait for the wind to fall temporarily, and I will leave your horses, you go." ”

Niu Ben shouted beside him, "I haven't fallen behind!" Zongyi snickered.

Ying Zhuo was shocked, and when he thought of the thousand horses he left, it seemed that they had already been robbed by Qiu Yundu's people, and he didn't expect that he had lost a thousand horses in vain this time, and he couldn't help but feel more and more depressed, but it seemed that Qiu Yundu had the intention to let himself and others go, which made him even more strange.

Cong Ying Zhuo said: "Qiu Yundu, you want to exterminate us and do it as soon as possible, how can the people of the Lan Department be greedy for life and afraid of death, don't play cat and mouse tricks." ”

Before Qiu Yundu could reply, Zong Yi had already said beside him: "The young master has already had a military order first, just for your horses, and will never hurt any of you. ”

Qiu Yundu immediately gave a slight salute to Congying Zhuo, Congying Zhuo did not dare to hesitate anymore, and led everyone to retreat, and the people led by the nest and Gaiying had already made way for them.

When all the Kelan soldiers left, the people of Shaodi flocked out and thanked Qiu Yundu. Qiu Yundu was kind and comforting, and he didn't dare to stay in Shaodi, so he led the crowd back. Originally, he wanted to take some cattle and sheep with him, but seeing that the people were so grateful to him, he couldn't open his mouth for a while, so he had to return empty-handed.

However, he said that from Ying Zhuo led the army back, Fang knew that not only his 1,000 horses had long disappeared, but also the 100 troops guarding the horses and the 500 troops of Ran Gonglu were no longer in place, so Ying Zhuo had to lead the crowd to rush to Tingkou Fortress on foot, but fortunately, he didn't walk long before he saw Ran Gong's army and the 100 sergeants, and the 100 sergeants also became infantry troops, and the horses were long gone. From Ying Zhuo's detailed questioning, he learned that Ran Gonglu's 500 army was suddenly attacked by a thousand-man cavalry army, and Ran Gonglu did not dare to resist to the death, so he had to retreat. The 100 armies were originally guarding the horses, but they were suddenly surrounded by Hulala, and the other party did not hurt them, but only let them leave the horses and retreat, so a thousand horses fell into the hands of the other party.

From Ying Zhuo, he knew that the 1,000 army did not return to Kaisha City, but turned back to ambush halfway, and in his heart, he and Ran Gonglu took this 1,500 cavalry army to Tingkou.

After walking for a short time, he suddenly found that nearly 3,000 troops were coming in front of him, and from Ying Zhuo's closer look, he saw that the person at the head was actually his father Cong Uban.
