In the spring of March, the endless wilderness is full of emerald green, and the withered yellow grass and trees turn into tender green, thriving. Zhao Yi led the soldiers to gallop in Shanggu County, and the soldiers all had excited smiles on their faces.

And Zhao Yi, who gained the most this time and hugged the beauty, was not as happy as the soldiers imagined. The failure to kill Qiu Liju this time made Zhao Yi regret it very much, and it would be difficult to kill Qiu Liju in the future.

Wen Qin and the others understood Zhao Yi's thoughts, and seeing Zhao Yi's sullen appearance, Wen Qin drove forward immediately, and Wen Yan comforted Zhao Yi.

The soft words made Zhao Yi's mood slowly improve, and finally turned into a long sigh: "Today, Qiu Liju returns to Liaoxi County, and he will definitely be our confidant one day." "Although Youzhou has a captain who guards the Wuhuan tribe, if this captain protects the Wuhuan tribe effectively, how can there be a rebellion in Youzhou in the future.

Among the three major tribes, the most powerful Nanlou has formed an alliance with Zhao Yi, which greatly increases the confidence in fighting the Wuhuan tribe in the future. But Zhao Yi wanted to minimize the danger, but unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven, and Qiu Liju actually took a step earlier.

"Zhao Yi, you don't have to worry, among the three major tribes of Wuhuan, my father's strength is the strongest, and with my father's help, Qiu Liju and they don't dare to act rashly." Wen Qin said that Nanlou has formed a good alliance with Zhao Yi for Qin and Jin, and will definitely help Zhao Yi govern Youzhou.

Zhao Yi nodded, but the thoughts in his heart were turning sharply, it seemed that he would have to deal with the Qiuliju tribe after he went back. The state pastoral officials are equivalent to the temperance envoys of the Tang Dynasty, but the power is much greater than that of the temperance envoys. can control the life and death of a state, and control all civil and military officials. Zhao Yi was thinking in his heart about who would take the official position of the captain of the Wuhuan Colonel and supervise the actions of the Wuhuan tribe.

Shanggu County is vast and sparsely populated, and Zhao Yi walked for dozens of miles without seeing a single figure, at this time Murong Feng drove his horse over: "Lord, there is a large group of cavalry following behind our army thirty miles, and the distance between us and us is constantly narrowing. ”

Zhao Yi turned his head to look at the wild behind him, his eyes were green, he didn't see any cavalry, and he knew that his eyesight could not be compared with the eagle. But there are some doubts in my heart, I don't know whether the other party is friend or foe. This is also a disadvantage of Eagle Pathfinder, as it cannot tell the number and clothing of the other party.

Although this is Shanggu County, it is still more than 200 miles away from the county seat, and there are no major military operations here, so it is impossible for a large group of cavalry to walk.

Zhao Yi ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle: "Whether the other party is an enemy or a friend is not yet known, everyone is on guard and march quickly!" ”

Murong Feng turned over and dismounted and took the initiative to ask for help: "Lord, the last general will go and check it out." ”

Zhao Yi knew that Murong Feng was a master of tracking and was agile, so he nodded and agreed to his request. At the same time, he ordered a herald: "You go to the tribe at once and ask the leader of Batu to lead the army to help." ”

After explaining these words, Zhao Yi clenched the long sword in his hand and looked behind him with flashing eyes. In less than a quarter of an hour, Murong Feng drove his horse to this Zhao Yi, his expression was a little solemn: "Lord, behind us is a group of lightly armed Wuhuan cavalry. ”

"Wuhuan cavalry?" Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, could it be that he was sent by Nanlou? "What kind of clothes is the other party? How many people are there? ”

"There are about 2,000 people, and the costumes are similar to those of the leaders of the Nanlou Clan, and it is impossible to distinguish whether they are the last generals of the leaders of the Nanlou Clan." Murong Feng explained the situation again. The clothes worn by the Wuhuan tribe are almost the same, not to mention Murong Feng, even if Zhao Yi sees it, he can't tell it.

Two thousand soldiers? Zhao Yi groaned, no, this is not Nanlou's subordinates, if Nanlou sent someone here, he would definitely not bring so many people, two thousand people, this is obviously here to find trouble.

"It's Qiu Liju's Wuhuan tribesmen!" Zhao Yi seemed to be shocked by something, the more he thought about it, the more he thought that this possibility was very high, Zhao Yi thought that he was ruthless enough, but he didn't expect Qiu Liju to see it in the long term than himself.

If Qiu Liju had something to say to Zhao Yi, why didn't he say it in the Nanlou tribe? Why take a step ahead of Zhao Yi? The comer is not good! These four words emerged in the hearts of Dian Wei and others.

Although Zhao Yi wanted to kill Qiu Liju, he was not a reckless man without reason, with five hundred soldiers and two thousand elite Wuhuan cavalry, there was a great possibility of failure. With less surprises, Zhao Yi's chances of winning are greatly reduced.

On that day, Zhao Yi led 200 soldiers to defeat a thousand Montenegrin troops, but the rabble of the Montenegrin army could not be compared with the Wuhuan tribe.

Zhao Yi's face changed for a moment: "General Murong continued to observe the enemy's situation, and the rest of the people and the official quickly moved closer to Zhuojun." ”

Qiu Liju and the others, who were closely following Zhao Yi behind them, received the report from Tanma, and Zhao Yi's department suddenly sped up.

"Could it be that Zhao Yi discovered us?" He asked uncertainly, his unit was thirty miles away from Zhao Yizu, and the soldiers were quite careful, how could they be discovered.

Qiu Liju originally wanted to raid Zhao Yi's camp at night, but now that this happened, Qiu Liju could only change his plan: "The army is advancing quickly, and Zhao Yi's troops must be killed before they reach Zhuo County!" After Qiu Liju gave the order, he rushed out first.

The two sides are nearly thirty miles apart, and if ordinary people see that Zhao Yi has already sensed his intentions, they may give up, because the distance between the two sides is too far. But Qiu Liju didn't, he was confident in the endurance of his horses, even if Zhao Yi changed the war horse in the south building, Qiu Liju was also sure.

A chase unfolded on this grassland, Zhao Yi's troops galloped wildly for an hour, feeling the violent gasps of the horses under his crotch, he waved his hand to stop the soldiers, if they ran any further, the horses were likely to die.

Zhao Yi jumped off his horse and looked around at the soldiers. Wen Qin also jumped off the horse, and the continuous rush made Wen Qin breathe slightly, and looked around: "I'm afraid there are still more than a hundred miles away from the Third Brother Tribe here." If we want to go by, it will only take two hours. As he spoke, Wen Qin couldn't help but look behind him, but he didn't know if Qiu Liju could give him this time.

"The continuous running has made the war horse too tired, and if you continue to march, I am afraid that you will die on the spot." Zhao Yi sighed, if there were no horses, it would be more difficult to run, and there was nothing around to cover it, so there was no place to hide. Zhao Yi took a breath and asked Murong Feng about the chasing soldiers behind him.

Murong Feng wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Their war horses have better endurance than our war horses, so they stopped at a distance of twenty miles from us to rest their horses. ”

"Pay close attention, and if there is any movement of cavalry over there, it will be reported immediately." Zhao Yi ordered. Five hundred war horses ate tender grass to replenish the water lost in their bodies.

About a quarter of an hour later, Murong Feng sent news: "Lord, that cavalry has moved!" ”

Zhao Yi then ordered the soldiers to turn over and march quickly, while Qiu Li's residence was closely following behind Zhao Yi and the others.

The two teams of men and horses walked and stopped, and after another hour, Qiu Liju and the others were less than ten miles away from Zhao Yi and the others, they could clearly see the other party's actions, the horse had lost its effect at this time, and after seeing Zhao Yi's cavalry, Qiu Liju's eyes showed an excited light: "Zhao Yi and the others are in front, there is someone who can take Zhao Yi's head, and the reward will be a thousand gold!" Seeing Zhao Yi yes, these Wuhuan soldiers had a hopeful light in their eyes, and rushed towards Zhao Yi with a crazy roar.

Zhao Yi and the others didn't dare to stop anymore, so they could only drive the horses away quickly. The endurance of the war horse in Qiu Li's residence is extremely good, and he still walks like the wind after a long journey, constantly narrowing the distance between him and Zhao Yi.

And the messenger soldier who took the first step now finally arrived at Batu's tribe, pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and greeted Batu.

The quality of Zhao Yi's soldiers is excellent, Batu has never seen Zhao Yi's soldiers have such a panicked look, thinking that something big must have happened: "Don't panic, explain things clearly!" ”

"Quick, go and save the Lord and General Wen Qin." The soldier said breathlessly.

"Zhao Yi? Wen Qin? Batu was stunned for a moment, in Youzhou, will Zhao Yi still be in danger? Now was not the time to inquire about these things, and Batuu grabbed the horn at his waist and blew the signal for an emergency assembly.

Nearly 10,000 Wuhuan soldiers quickly assembled in the village, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the well-trained Wuhuan soldiers had already straddled their horses and stood all over the village alleys. Batu glanced around at the soldier and waved his big hand: "Let's go!" ”

Qiu Liju was already less than three miles away from Zhao Yi at this time, and Qiu Liju was confident that as long as there was another half an hour, he would be able to catch up with Zhao Yi. Glancing at the houses in front of me, I was slightly surprised by the size of the village, but I didn't pay attention to it. Although the people were numerous, they did not have the courage to fight to the death with the Wuhuan soldiers, so they were just a group of sheep to be slaughtered.

Xin said that the soldiers would kill Zhao Yi later, and they happened to go to the village to loot.

However, when Qiu Liju was only more than a mile away from Zhao Yi's department, and it was within reach, from the narrow alley of the village, a large group of cavalry poured out, and in less than half an hour, there were 5,000 people rushing out. And they are quickly moving closer to Zhao Yi. Without distinguishing the intentions of the cavalry ahead, Qiu Liju ordered his soldiers to stop and stared nervously at the movement ahead.

Seeing that he could kill Zhao Yi, but this kind of thing suddenly appeared, which made Qiu Liju very resentful in his heart, and at the same time hoped that the purpose of the five thousand cavalry was the same as his own, and it was also to kill Zhao Yi, although this hope was very small.

After seeing Zhao Yi and Batu's army round, Qiu Liju's heart continued to sink, how could Zhao Yi leave so many cavalry here, and the fierce color of those cavalry was on par with his own department.

Batu eagerly came to Wen Qin's side and asked with concern, "Little sister, are you all right?" Who dares to do it to you? ”

Zhao Yi swallowed his saliva: "I'll talk about this later, please General Batu, retreat from this strong enemy first!" ”

Batu was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yi's interjection, but he also knew that Zhao Yi was right, so he just glanced at Zhao Yi and did not open his mouth to refute.

Seeing the cavalry of the brigade swarming towards him like a sea of mountains, Qiu Liju and the others were covered with sweat on their faces. Seeing this formation, there were 10,000 cavalry on the other side, and he was a little panicked, and hurriedly asked Qiu Liju: "Father, what should I do at this time?" ”
