Chapter 171: Youzhou City

How is it good? Qiu Liju has no idea now, he can kill Zhao Yi when he sees it, who would have thought that he would kill so many cavalry halfway. For Zhao Yi, a rising star, Qiu Liju has not relaxed his surveillance, and when Zhao Yi killed the Montenegrin army, there were 10,000 cavalry. But this official cavalry should be in Zhuojun, how could it be here? Or is Zhao Yi hiding his strength, this is Zhao Yi's private army?

But Qiu Liju didn't have time to think about it so much now, Batu's army was less than five miles away from his headquarters, and the murderous aura was coming, which made Qiu Liju feel cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Go!" ”

Seeing Qiu Liju turn his horse's head and run back, Batu snorted and led his troops to catch up.

Qiu Liju's war horse endurance is good, but the long-distance run has consumed a lot of strength, which can not be compared to Batu's 10,000 fresh forces.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, "This can't be done, our war horse has spent too much strength to compare with the other party, and I am afraid that it will not take an hour to be surrounded by the other party." Qiu Liju said, staring at the approaching army behind him.

Fu Ming and Zhan Huan glanced at each other, and they both saw the decisive look in each other's eyes. "The lord and the young master will leave first, and we will desperately drag the enemy army!" After Fu Ming finished speaking, without waiting for Qiu Liju to agree, he ordered the soldiers to stop, and Zhan Huan also stopped.

"No! You're crazy! Qiu Liju shouted, behind them was an army of 10,000, they were running for hundreds of miles in a row, and the horses and bodies were already very tired, this move was tantamount to moths to a fire.

"The two generals are deeply favored by the lord, and now the lord is in trouble, and the two of us should sacrifice our lives to save each other." Fu Ming arched his hand and said, quite a heroic image of seeing death as home.

"General Fu Ming is right, since it is difficult to escape the doom, it is better to have a final charge, when did my Wuhuan boy let the enemy see the back of the war horse." Zhan Huan said with a smile, thought for a while, and ordered the two soldiers to dismount, "The lord and the young lord will replace each other, or they may be able to escape from the pursuit of the army." ”

Seeing the soldiers of the department looking at death as home, Qiu Liju burst into tears, this is the truth of tribulation, Qiu Liju just wanted to say that he wanted to stay and live and die with them.

Zhanhuan and Fu Ming fell to the ground: "The lord's body is in danger of the Wuhuan tribe, don't be so reckless." Don't let our people die worthless. ”

Qiu Liju's eyes flickered twice, and he looked at Zhanhuan and Fu Ming who were kneeling on the ground again, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and shouted at the horse: "Go!" Don't let down the hard work of the two generals! ”

Qiu Liju and Bang Dun drove their horses and galloped, and when they heard a shout of killing behind them, they suddenly stopped and turned around, and saw Fu Ming and Zhan Huan leading two thousand soldiers, rushing against Batu's army, Qiu Liju and Ban Dun's faces turned pale, there was no doubt that Fu Ming and Zhan Huan and the two thousand soldiers were finished.

Seeing that Badun was about to rush forward, Qiu Liju shouted: "Don't commit suicide like this, we must leave a useful body to help Fu Ming and Zhan Huan avenge the two generals." Come on! ”

Fu Ming and Zhan Huan led the army into the battle, and since they already knew that they would definitely die, their moves were completely defenseless, and they were all fatal moves. This desperate posture blocked the offensive of Batu's 10,000-strong army.

But as time went by, the strength was exhausted, so that the soldiers of the department suffered more and more casualties, and those who were cut off their horses were trampled into mud by the war horses before they could stand up.

Fu Ming and Zhan Huan dragged the cavalry of Batu's department for an hour at the cost of all their deaths, and successfully bought time for Qiu Liju and the others to escape.

Zhao Yi looked at Fu Ming and Zhan Huan, who were still holding steel knives after their deaths, and sighed: "These two are also men, but it's a pity that they followed the wrong person." Saying that, Zhao Yi beckoned his soldiers and buried the two of them.

Batu also praised these people, and ordered the soldiers below to bury the bodies of these Wuhuan cavalry.

Glancing at the corpses all over the ground, Zhao Yiyao looked at the north: "It's a pity that Qiu Liju and the two are gone." After this battle, the relationship between Qiu Liju and Zhao Yi is impossible to adjust, and Zhao Yi will not let a person who wants to kill himself live in the world. However, the Wuhuan tribe is brave and good at fighting, if Zhao Yi starts to clear it now, even if he can destroy Qiu Liju, I am afraid that he will also suffer heavy casualties. At that time, if the Xianbei tribe committed a border, Zhao Yi might not be able to stop it. This matter should also be considered in the long run, and should not be taken lightly.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, Batu invited Zhao Yi and Wen Qin into the village, and asked them what happened to them in the tribe, how Wen Qin's marriage was, and why Zhao Yi offended Qiu Liju, so that Qiu Liju went deep alone, and was willing to take a big risk.

Wen Qin told Batu about what had happened in the past few days, and said that when Nanlou married himself to Zhao Yi, his face turned a little red.

As for why he offended Qiu Liju, Zhao Yi himself is very clear, firstly, because he interfered with the marriage of Qiu Liju, which made Qiu Liju's plan to unite with the Nanlou Department fall through, and then his performance in the Nanlou tribe attracted Qiu Liju's attention and made him murderous. As the saying goes, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Zhao Yi committed this taboo, but if Zhao Yi didn't perform very well, how could Nanlou match Wen Qinxu to him, which is called a gain and a loss.

"Frankly speaking, when I was in the Wuhuan tribe, I also had murderous intentions towards Qiu Liju, but unfortunately, before I could do it, he actually attacked me first." Zhao Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't hide his inner thoughts. If it weren't for Batu's help today, I am afraid that the only one who has fallen to the ground now is himself.

After a few months of stable life, Batu was already a little disgusted with tribal strife, and when he heard Zhao Yi's words, he smiled bitterly and ignored Zhao Yi. just looked at Wen Qin, who was staring at Zhao Yi with affection, and said that the little sister married Zhao Yi, and I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up in the future.

Zhao Yi and the others rested in the tribe for a day, and rushed to Youzhou in the early morning of the next day. The area under the jurisdiction of Youzhou City is not very large, but it is surrounded by the counties like stars and moons, making it a strategic location.

As early as ten days ago, Youzhou received an order from the imperial court, and it has been nine days since Liu Yan took office, but the new Youzhou pastor has not arrived for a long time. Without Youzhou Mu's order, no one dared to deal with the state's internal affairs without authorization, and some urgent matters had been delayed for many days, making the civil and military at all levels very anxious, but they had to wait for Zhao Yi to come back. What if Zhao Yi knew that he had overstepped his authority in managing the state's internal affairs and would wear small shoes for himself in the future? Youzhou Mu can be said to be the soil emperor of Youzhou, controlling civil and military affairs at all levels, how dare they act.

Hearing that there were soldiers outside reporting that Youzhou Mu Zhao Yi was about to arrive outside the city, these civil and military officials exhaled one after another, and said in their hearts that this master was here.

Zhao Yi came to Youzhou City for the first time, and before he had time to enjoy the scenery of Youzhou City, and before he had time to say hello to the onlookers, he was pulled to the mansion by the officials who went out of the city to greet him.

Looking at the more than one-foot-thick book on the table, Zhao Yi touched his nose, and under the supervision of officials at all levels, he looked hard, even though Zhao Yi's work efficiency was very fast, but he didn't finish the matter until late at night.

Watching the last official leave the palace with a satisfied smile, Zhao Yi had time to drink a cup of ginseng tea brought by Wen Qin. I secretly said in my heart that Qiangang felt good about being arbitrary, but he was too tired. Looks like I'm going to find a few good ministers to help me with my internal affairs. Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Yi's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and he said in his heart that it was really a wise decision to transfer Cheng Yin to Youzhou that day. He wanted to summon Cheng Yin now, but after looking at the sky outside, it was already late at night, and Cheng Yin was afraid that he had rested. Some things can only wait until tomorrow, Zhao Yi blew out the lights.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Yi asked the soldiers to pass Cheng Yin over. As a person personally invited by Zhao Yi, civil and military personnel at all levels know that Cheng Yin will be arranged by Zhao Yi in a high-ranking position, and he will naturally be courteous to this future boss.

Knowing that Zhao Yi had arrived at the state capital yesterday, Cheng Yin wanted to go to see him, but when he entered the palace, he saw the officials standing at the gate, and knew that Zhao Yi had government affairs to deal with, so he retreated with interest. After receiving Zhao Yi's order, he tidied up his clothes and walked quickly towards the mansion.

Cheng Yin and Zhao Yi have not seen each other for almost half a year, and from the time Zhao Yi used a clever trick to kill the small Yellow Turban Army that attacked Fanyang County, Cheng Yin felt that Zhao Yi's achievements in the future would definitely not be low. Zhao Yi was promoted to state pastor, and Cheng Yin also thought about it, but Cheng Yin thought that more than ten years later, if Zhao Yi had outstanding political achievements, he might be able to become the pastor of a state. But he didn't expect Zhao Yi to be promoted so quickly, and in less than half a year, he was promoted from a county guard to a state pastor, which made Cheng Yin not only surprised, but also a little admired.

looked at Zhao Yi's eyes more and more respectfully: "Cheng Yin, meet your lord." ”

"Sir, don't be polite." Zhao Yi did not look down on Cheng Yin because he was promoted to state pastor, and called Cheng Yin Mr. as always.

This made Cheng Yin secretly praise Zhao Yi's character in his heart, Zhao Yi transferred himself from Fanyang County to Youzhou, he had already guessed something, but he still asked: "Why did the adults transfer Cheng Yin from Fan Yang to Youzhou?" ”

Zhao Yi did not answer Cheng Yin's question, but asked Cheng Yin instead: "If Mr. is the pastor of Youzhou, how should he govern Youzhou?" ”

Cheng Yin was stunned by these words, and he didn't expect Zhao Yi to ask such a question: "Adults must have a strategy in their chests, so why ask Cheng Yin?" ”

"I have some plans, but I still want to hear Mr.'s opinion, after all, three, uh, that one person is short and two are long." Zhao Yi laughed, he almost said the three stinkers to Zhuge Liang just now, Zhuge Liang, who was born in 181, was just a babbling child at this time, and he had not yet become famous.

Seeing that Zhao Yi insisted on listening, Cheng Yin did not refuse, and said after a while: "Youzhou seems to be peaceful at this time, but it is an undercurrent, not to mention the peeps of many Yi tribes on the periphery, and the interior is also stormy, and the natural disasters and wars for many years have made it impossible for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and large areas of land are deserted and uncultivated. If you want Youzhou to be stable for a long time, you must first cut off the hidden dangers in the periphery one by one, but if you want to cut off the Yi people in the periphery, you must also make Youzhou rich. If there is no money and food support, even if you have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, you will not be able to do anything. ”

"The gentleman's analysis is very correct, but he did not say how to deal with it."
