The walled city of Luoyang, the residence of the handsome Yueji.

Yue Ji sat cross-legged on the main seat, eagle eyes like hooks, staring at Yadan who was standing under the steps with his head held high, surrounded by swords and soldiers, but he was arrogant.

He gently rubbed the beard under his chin, although there was no joy or anger on his face, the knotted muscles beat from time to time, showing that the anger in his heart had already reached the critical point of outburst, and he was about to be unable to hold it back.

In the past few days, his subordinates have continued to complain and cry, bluntly saying that the Yarasuo tribe occupies the mountain and closes the road, and acts recklessly. As the patriarch, he wanted to personally raise troops to take a look, but he didn't want to be early this morning, Yadan, the initiator, actually put on a cold face and ran straight to the walled city to ask for a meeting.

He thought that he was the master of this place, so he sent sword soldiers to ambush on the side, wanting to give Yadan a dismount. I didn't want Yadan to bow or succumb, so he just stood with his head held high.

When Yue Ji saw it, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It's a backbone!" ”

As the master of this world, he had to be the first to break the silence.

"Yadan, I heard that you and Yarasuo moved to the East Wolf Valley last year. You don't stay anywhere, but you came to my territory of Luoyang, occupied my mountains and forests, blocked my roads, and came to the village to show off your might, but is it too long? ”

But why Yadan appeared here has to start with Jiang Wei's policy of "taking Luoyang without spending a single soldier".

Originally, he wanted to use the land of Luoyang as bait to provoke Ji to go out of the city to fight, and then design to capture and seize the city.

The Qiang people value face, so after the Han army occupied the northern foot of Xiangshan, they insulted the Qiang people who came and went, and after three days of momentum, Jiang Wei concluded that Yueji's anger had reached the verge of attack.

In this case, he sent Yadan to the village, just about to add another handful of firewood to Yueji's burning chest.

Of course, Yadan was reluctant to accept this kind of life-threatening work, but his whole family, even Yalasuo, was controlled by the Han army, and he had no room for bargaining, so he had to accept the order with a belly of anger.

At this moment, he stood in front of Yue Ji, and while slandering "Jiang Wei's thief and treacherous" in his heart, he had to put up a shelf, and said arrogantly:

"Yueji, I won't talk nonsense with you, the king of my family is ready to fight back. I was sent here to inform you that my department will requisition 1,500 warriors, 800 fat sheep, and 3,000 stone of grain and grass from your department! ”

"What?" Yue Ji was stunned when he heard this, and a moment of confusion flashed in his mind. When he understood, his first reaction was not anger, but absurdity.

"You say that Yarasona wants to requisition my warriors?"

Yadan said seriously: "Yes, you are limited to three days to raise it." If you don't prepare for a day, the king of my family will be stationed at the northern foot of Xiangshan and wait for you for a day. ”

Yue Ji was so angry that he laughed out loud:

"For the sake of Yaraso's dead grandfather Yamuji, I have not sent troops to the East Wolf Valley to exterminate you, and you not only occupy my territory this time, but also requisition my people? Hahaha, is this kid Yaraso crazy with a broken heart? ”

Yadan shook his head and said, "Yueji! Needless to say, those who have and don't, the king of my family will limit you to deliver the warrior's food and grass within three days, otherwise you will look good. ”

After he said this, he turned around and wanted to leave, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly paused again, looked at his eyes and said: "For the sake of the old Qiang king, the king of my family did not immediately send troops to attack your walled city." Don't be ignorant! ”

Yueji was finally enraged.

He panted and suddenly got up, the green tendons on his body burst, pointed at Yadan, and shouted angrily: "Take down this bastard for me!" ”

When the Qiang soldiers under the tent heard this, they stepped forward with their knives one after another, and tied Yadan firmly and sturdily.

Yadan couldn't resist at all, he was afraid to death, and his legs couldn't help shaking. Finally, he knew that Yue Ji was a good man among the Qiang people, and he would not do anything to kill the messenger; And Yue Ji still needs him to show the way along the way, and he won't harm him for a while, so that he can barely stabilize his emotions.

Yue Ji took the sledgehammer and carved bow from the wall, and said angrily: "It doesn't take three days, I will lead the army to meet him for a while today, but I want to see what kind of ability this kid Yarasuo has grown, and dare to insult me like this!" ”

He strode out of the big tent, and immediately ordered 300 cavalry and more than 1,000 troops on foot, and rushed to the northern foot of Xiangshan Mountain, thirty miles away.

******

At the entrance of the northern foot of Xiangshan Mountain, Jiang Wei, Wei Rong, and Zhao Tong are lurking behind a boulder.

When the sun was shining, people were dizzy and sweaty.

Wei Rong loosened the buttons of the battle armor a little, and yawned while fanning half of his clothes:

"Yadan has been gone for a while, and there is no turn. On this hot day, I don't think that Yueji will come. ”

Jiang Wei said firmly: "He will definitely come." ”

"Why is that?"

Jiang Wei laughed and said: "If one day, the giant master says that he will teach you to practice martial arts, how do you say you will react?" ”

Although Pang Hong can simply play with bows and arrows, his martial arts are the worst in this group. If he taught martial arts, it would undoubtedly be a great insult to Wei Rong.

Seeing Wei Rong said angrily: "He dares!" ”

Seeing this, Jiang Wei smiled and said: "That's it, as long as Yadan acts according to the plan, he will definitely be able to provoke Yue Ji's anger, and he will inevitably come regardless of it." When he comes out of the nest, General Ma, who is ambushed in the east of the city, can lead 800 cavalry to take advantage of the situation to seize the city! ”

While chatting, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and everyone looked up, but when they saw Ke Thirteen riding their horses galloping back, they couldn't stop shouting:

"It's coming! Here it comes! Yueji is here! ”

Jiang Wei hurriedly intercepted him and asked in one breath, "How many soldiers and horses are coming?" How many riders? How many foot soldiers? How much more is there? ”

Ke 13 hurriedly replied: "About 1,500 people, more than 300 horsemen, most of them are foot soldiers, and now they are five miles away, and they can be here in another quarter of an hour." ”

When Wei Rong heard this, he clapped his fist and laughed: "As you expected, this guy in Yue Ji really can't hold his breath!" ”

Jiang Wei was in a good mood and said with a smile: "The Qiang people only have a brave force, how can they know the clever plan? ”

He didn't care about paying any more attention to Wei Rong, turned to Ke Shisan, and said, "Quickly go and report to General Ma, just say that Luoyang City is empty, and ask him to attack the city quickly in a quarter of an hour!" ”

Ke 13 hurriedly said "Order", then turned on his horse again and galloped towards the east.

Jiang Wei turned to Zhao Tong again and said: "There are only 300 soldiers and horses here, if you want to capture Yueji, it is difficult to defeat it, you must outwit it." A moment later, it's up to you to engage Yue Ji in the first round. You don't have to really fight, just feint and lead him into the woods, I have other arrangements in the forest, remember? ”

In fact, in his opinion, Wei Rong's martial arts are higher than Zhao Tong, and it may be more secure if he takes over the first formation. But this guy has an impulsive temper, and is likely to rise up in battle, so he forgets the command to feign defeat.

Ma Dai is responsible for stealing the city, Liu Yin is not good at horse warfare, and Zhao Tong is the only suitable candidate for this position at the moment.

His father Zhao Yun has also been repeatedly used by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang as generals who feint to defeat and lure the enemy, not because he has no talent to command the army, but because the temper of the generals under Liu Bei is bigger than the other.

Zhao Tong obviously understood his father's teachings, put on a straight face, clenched his fists and said: "Obey!" ”

Jiang Weiwen said a few words of encouragement, and led most of the men and horses to hide in the mountains, leaving only Zhao Tong and more than a dozen fast-paced Qiang soldiers to pretend to meet the enemy here.

******

However, it was said that Yue Ji led 1,500 Qiang soldiers, escorted Yadan to guide the way along the way, and rushed to the entrance of the northern foot of Xiangshan.

Yadan gestured and said: "Our army has an ambush here, it is better for you to surrender quickly." ”

Yue Ji was an unprovoked character, snorted coldly, and ordered to hurry up.

Entering the forest, but seeing a silver-armored general, he didn't say much, and there was an arrow in front of him, and the Qiang soldier who rushed to the front screamed miserably, and fell under the horse.

Yue Ji was furious when he saw this, holding a hammer in his hand, hanging a treasure carving bow from his waist, lining up the Qiang soldiers, and the prancing horse rushed out, shouting and coming straight away.

The young general also rode his horse and speared and went straight to the battle.

This young general is naturally Zhao Tong. He has a deep family education, and since joining the "Heluo Society", he has practiced with his partners every day, and his marksmanship has made great progress compared to the past.

Today was the first time he had taken on the task of luring the enemy, and it was naturally impossible to say that he was not nervous at all. Finally, the bow was opened, and his mood was eased a little, and this time he attacked with all his strength, and his hand was also a little powerful.

The hammer in Yue Ji's hand weighed more than fifty catties, which was not as light as Zhao Tong's spear, and at the beginning he couldn't fight back more than ten times in a row, and he was even more angry.

When Zhao Tong's offensive was finished and he was about to adjust his breath, Yue Ji suddenly shouted, and the hammer smashed into the opponent's gun, and began to defend as an attack.

Good strength!

After only one move, Zhao Tong felt a huge earthquake in his mouth, his arms were numb, and he saw him angry and fighting, and he didn't feel a little frightened.

Fighting Sanhe again, he couldn't resist it after all, so he looked into the air, and stabbed his gun straight into Yue Ji's face door, and Yue Ji really flashed sideways.

This move was a false move, Zhao Tong took advantage of this hurry to draw back the spear, turned the horse's head, greeted him, and ran away into the mountains.

The Qiang riders behind him were greeted, and they also scattered as birds and beasts.

Yue Ji was furious and was about to chase after him, but Yadan on the side pretended to persuade again: "It is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me in the forest, and the ambush is more prosperous, if you don't surrender at this time, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

Yue Ji was even more angry when he heard this, and shouted: "If they are all like this, even if there are some small ambush soldiers, why be afraid!" With that, he went straight to Zhao Tong to chase after him, and the Qiang soldiers followed closely behind him.

It's just that Zhao Tong fled extremely fast, and only Yue Ji and the three hundred knights behind him galloped wildly to catch up, and before they knew it, more than a thousand foot soldiers were pulled down by them far away.

Zhao Tong had been instructed before, and from time to time he turned around and drew cold arrows.

He had previously learned the tricks of riding and archery in Huang Zhongfu, but this was the first time he had made a general in actual combat, often shooting three arrows and hitting one arrow.

After several times, his perception was deeper; And Yueji's anger was even more vigorous, and he wanted to crush his steel teeth and beat his mount to chase after him.

If they ran out of the road for five or seven miles, the road ahead was covered by leaves, and the terrain was flat, and Zhao Tong and others slowly slowed down.

Yue Ji only said that the other party was exhausted, and under the great joy, he only cared about urging the soldiers and horses to move forward.

Just as he was in the middle of the race, there was a sudden tremor, and the earth under his feet collapsed like a mountain, and he felt that his mount stepped into the air, and with the neighing of his horses, he and the surrounding Qiang soldiers and riders fell into a huge trench.

Behind the Qiang riding is galloping fast, and hugging it, it is difficult to stop, and all of them fall into the pit for a while, trampling on each other.

There are still dozens of cavalry left in the Qiang rear soldiers, and they can finally be stopped, and they are about to return, but they see a general flashing out of the forest on the left and right, and the two generals each lead more than 100 riders to rush out, like wind and fire, driving them into the pit like pigs and sheep.

It was originally Jiang Wei's arrangement of the left and right ambushes to take the opportunity to launch.

The Qiang soldiers of the Yue Ji Department first fell into the trap, and then saw that there were enemies in all directions, and they were in chaos.

A few brave men gave up their horses, and wanted to climb out of the ravine with their hands and feet, but how could they know that the ravine was more than half a foot high, and the slope was steep, how could it be so easy to turn out?

After a short time, Liu Yin led the Han army's pikemen to the battlefield.

When they put the snow-white and dense spears into the pit, the resistance of the Qiang soldiers in the pit suddenly disappeared.

******

At the northern foot of Xiangshan, the Han army temporarily camped.

Yue Ji was captured alive by Zhao Tong early and surrendered to Dazhai; None of the Qiang soldiers in the pit escaped, and now they were all disarmed, with their arms held high behind their heads, guarded by Liu Yin's pikemen.

The more than 1,000 Qiang foot soldiers who were pulled down scattered after learning that the commander had been captured.

Jiang Wei knew that the Qiang soldiers were such virtuous, so he didn't care about them, and went straight to the tent to ask questions.

Zhao Tong escorted Yue Ji to come, and had already returned to Yadan to stand beside Jiang Wei's main seat, first introduced Jiang Wei's identity, and then persuaded him with good words:

"Yueji, now the Baima people are powerful, and they are attacking me everywhere. The king of my family raised troops this time precisely to unify all the tribes and crusade against the strong end of the Di people. You are the best man among my wolf and Qiang people, are you willing to surrender? ”

Yueji raised his head and said angrily: "You scum, when I Yueji is blind? You colluded with the Han people, and you still have the face to call me to surrender? ”

Yadan said categorically: "Yes, the king of my family has returned to the king of Hanzhong." But why don't you think about it carefully, the Baima people can override our Wolf Qiang people, and it's not because of Cao Wei's help? We Qiang people have a blood feud with Cao Wei, and they will certainly not remain neutral. If we don't ask the Han people in Shu for help, will we just wait for people to bully us? ”

Yue Ji knew that he was reasonable, and no longer refutated, but Wu Zi looked unconvinced.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei ordered Zhao Tong to release the restraints on his body, and gave wine to suppress the shock, and soothed him with kind words:

"Yue Ji, how many of your compatriots were slaughtered by Xiahou Yuan of Wei back then, have you forgotten? You are a good man among the Qiang people, and you should understand that the enemy of your enemy is your friend. What's more, Ma Chao, the general of Shenwei Tian, is also working under the command of the King of Hanzhong, you don't want to do things that are quick for the enemy and painful for the relatives! ”

Yue Ji rubbed his wrist, which was tied red by the rope, gasped twice, and said angrily:

"You're right. But you have won me by deception, but I am not convinced in my heart! ”

Jiang Wei and Yadan glanced at each other and smiled: "Then how can you convince you?" Yue Ji snorted coldly and said proudly: "If anyone can defeat the hammer in my hand with dignity, I, Yue Ji, can truly obey him!" ”
