The next morning, after arranging everything, Guo Qi led more than 100 cavalry with Ma Jiu to the north and went straight to Yongcheng; Yongcheng was originally the capital of Qizhou, located on the west bank of Yongshui, is the largest city in the west of Guanzhong, since the division of Yongqi, Yongcheng has become the capital of Yongzhou; In the future, it will also become the capital of Guo Qi.

After Guo Qi led his army to the north for thirty miles, he finally reached the south bank of Yongshui; Yongshui originates from the remaining veins of Longdi Mountain, and the upstream is north-south, forming a turning of more than 70 degrees in the south of Yongcheng and becoming northwest from the south. In the south of Qishan, it joins Qishui and flows eastward into the Wei River in Wugong City.

"Phew, hoo, hoo......" Guo Qi Pegasus came to the river and just grabbed the reins.

"Lord Wang, your horse is too fast, the brothers can't keep up!" After a few days of contact, Ma Jiu also let go, and now Ma Jiu admires Guo Qi from the bottom of his heart, Ma Jiu has never met such a master.

Guo Qi patted the horse that sat down and said: "The horse is tired after running like this, let's rest here for half an hour, drink some water and eat some dry food, this is not far from Yongcheng." ”

"Lord Wang, I heard that there is a great drought in Yongzhou, but you see that there is not a lot of water in the Yonghe River! How can there still be a great drought! Ma Jiu asked Guo Qi puzzled.

"Compared to previous years, this year's rainfall is relatively low; Secondly, you also saw along the way, this place is almost deserted! Without people, there is no way to dig canals, there is no way to bring water from the river to the fields, isn't it a drought! In addition, you see, the shore of this Yongshui should have been under our feet before, but now it is a zhang away, even by the river, and it can be seen that there are other places. Guo Qi explained to Ma Jiu.

"Lord Wang, you see that all around here are wastelands, and there is not even a piece of land, what should we do in the future?" Ma Jiu said with a sad face.

"It's easy to do! It's almost sowing season, we can open up the wasteland here, and don't forget that there are tens of thousands of people behind us! ”

……

After eating and drinking enough to rest for half an hour, Guo Qi led the cavalry to find a shoal and wade across the river, and after crossing the river, he walked more than three miles and saw a city in the distance, although it was dilapidated, but it gave people a sense of majestic vicissitudes.

"Kill......"

"Rush ...... Rush ah......"

"Help......"

……

Just when Guo Qi and the others were about to arrive at the city, they suddenly heard a burst of shouts and killings, and Guo Qi first just reined in the war horse: "Huh, huh, huh, huh......"

Ma Jiu immediately beckoned to the cavalry: "Quick, protect the prince." ”

"Don't panic, the shouting and killing is coming from Xicheng." Guo Qi ordered very calmly: "It is rumored that all the cavalry will go around the city and go straight to the west city, and this king wants to see who is so bold as to dare to attack this king's city." ”

Ma Jiugang wanted to dissuade Guo Qi, but saw that Guo Qi had already slapped the horse away; Ma Jiu shouted, "Quick, protect the prince." ”

To the west of Yongcheng, a group of hundreds of bandits dressed in coarse linen clothes and armed with knives, guns, sticks, and dung forks are attacking Yongcheng under the command of a bandit leader riding a mule; The west wall of Yongcheng is the most dilapidated, the city wall is only one zhang two or three, and there are several large gaps, these are left when Xirong attacked Yongcheng, although these gaps have been repaired, it is not yet one zhang, it is the focus of the bandits' attack.

"Big boss, this group of mud-legged people has resisted too strongly, and we have dozens of brothers killed by them." The tall, thin monkey-faced little boss reported to the bandits.

"Tread, monkey; You take a team of brothers to Beicheng, and quietly climb up from Beicheng, and give these mud legs a good match. The bandit leader ordered the monkey-faced leader.

"Big boss, you just knock it! Brothers, come with me. The monkey beckoned a dozen of his men to the north of the city.

Not long after the monkey left, a "rumble, boom, ......boom" sound came.

The bandit leader looked at the sky and said, "Why did there be a drought and thunder in the middle of the day, tell the brothers to work hard, it's going to rain this day." ”

As the bandit leader spoke, a small leader pointed to the south and said, "Big boss, what do you see over there?" ”

The bandit leader squinted his eyes and looked over there, and exclaimed, "Cavalry is cavalry......"

This time the bandits have exploded, they have experienced the battle of Qi Rong in Yongzhou, and they know the horror of cavalry, and the cavalry has a great advantage in front of the foot soldiers, not to mention that they are not two foot soldiers, but a group of rabble bandits.

The bandit leader did not feel how powerful he was, but on the contrary, he had a deep understanding of himself, so as soon as he found that there was a cavalry in the south who had killed him, he immediately rode a mule and turned around and ran, and when he saw that his boss had run away, the other bandits naturally ran away; The cavalry that came over was naturally none other than more than 100 cavalrymen led by Guo Qi.

"Kill, kill! Don't spare any of ...... king," Guo Qi shouted as he brandished his sword.

The shouting of killing was accompanied by the rumbling sound of iron hooves, and soon chased and killed the retreating bandits, Guo Qi, who was dressed in iron armor, took the lead, and the speed of the galloping horse coupled with the sharp war knife in Guo Qi's hand easily cut off the heads of the three bandits; The bandits, who were caught up by the cavalry, only hated themselves for having two legs missing.

Guo Qi crossed the retreating bandits and went straight to the bandit leader who was riding a mule, and the bandit leader was naturally faster than those little minions on a mule, but no matter how fast it was, it couldn't be faster than a war horse; Guo Qi chased until Yongshui and finally caught up with the bandit leader, and at this time there was no one around Guo Qi, and he was left alone.

As soon as the bandit leader saw that he couldn't run, he simply stopped running, turned the mule's head and back to Yongshui, and pulled out his knife to face Guo Qi; "Boy, since you came to die yourself, don't blame grandpa and me."

"Phew, hoo, hoo......" Guo Qi tightened the reins and said: "It's not certain which of us will die!" Let the mules come! ”

The bandit leader had a fierce face, his hand held the knife tightly, and his legs tightly added the mule under his crotch; "Driving, driving, driving......" rushed towards Guo Qi.

Looking at the bandit leader rushing towards him, Guo Qi felt that his blood was boiling; Saying goes; 'A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall', but Guo Qi doesn't know what's wrong with him today, seeing these bandits fighting intended, maybe Guo Qi's heart has been suppressed for too long!

"Driving, driving, driving......"

Guo Qi rushed towards the bandit leader head-on, in the battle horse and the mule's intersection of the plan, Guo Qi blocked the bandit's attack with a knife, forcefully pushed away the bandit's knife, and slashed the bandit's head with a clever backhand, the bandit leader didn't expect Guo Qi to have such a hand, when the bandit leader wanted to defend, it was too late, Guo Qi's knife had fallen on the bandit's head, and the small half of the bandit's head was cut off, ** dripping to the ground.

This was just a matter of a moment, the two only fought for a rendezvous and the winner was divided, although Guo Qi was not the first time to kill, but Guo Qi's hands were still trembling nervously, and even the war knife in his hand fell to the ground.

After a long time, Guo Qi calmed down, got off the war horse, walked to the edge of Yongshui not far away, took off his helmet, saw himself reflected in the water, there was a little blood on his face, took a deep breath, picked up the cold river water and washed his hands and face; After going through so much, Guo Qi doesn't seem to even know himself at this moment.
