In this era, nearly 3,000 good war horses are very valuable!

The risk is small, the benefit is large, and the stuffy thing in the heart can be removed, Jian Ju and the Muljin brothers are still very motivated. Jian Ju originally wanted to unite with other tribes who had been requisitioned, but Liu Kuan rejected Jian Ju's suggestion to continue to invite helpers for the sake of secrecy and safety.

Three days later, a thousand horsemen led by Jane and the Murkin brothers gathered in the mountains.

"Mu Ertong, you take four hundred people to ambush at the exit of the south of Shanlao Ou, after they are ambushed, they will definitely not dare to run north, to go north into the grassland is to send death, to flee south to Youzhou is their only choice. Even if they run north, we let him run. ”

"Yes!" The bronze statue of Muer gave Liu Kuan a fist in a decent manner.

"In the valley, the cavalry is useless, Jian Ju and Mulkin, you hide your horses in the mountains behind you, and each of you leads people to ambush on the cliffs on the east and west sides. In addition to the bow and arrows, prepare more stones. Each person hides 500 people in a suitable position to go down the cliff, and once you see me and Zhong Gong and Guo Rang starting, you will start fighting, and the 500 people of each will rush down. ”

Zhong Gong and Guo Rang are the words of Wuqiu Jian and Tian Yu respectively, and Liu Kuan refers to them by words in front of outsiders.

"Yes." Jian Ju and Murjin also slowly adapted to Liu Kuan's orders.

At the turn of the day and the Shen time, that is, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, under the daylight, Gongsun Yue's mighty procession appeared at the entrance on the north side of the mountain eagle. At this time, the sun is at its most poisonous, and the people are already thirsty.

Gongsun Yue stopped the team, pointed to the lieutenant general and said, "You send someone to the front to see if the road is smooth, and tell everyone to drink some water and rest." ”

The deputy general knew that Gongsun was more cautious, and he was also an experienced person, although in the past few years, especially after defeating Qiu Liju and being greedy to the king, this area has been peaceful, and no one dares to provoke Gongsun Zhan, but he is still cautious, so he personally led people into the canyon.

"General, the canyon is fine, but there are insects chirping and no birds chirping." The lieutenant hurried back and reported.

Gongsun Yue is mostly walking on the grassland this way, and it is the norm for insects to chirp without birds, "Order the whole team, cheer up, pay attention to precautions, and quickly pass through the canyon." Gongsun Yue walked through the canyon several times, and each time he felt that it was cool and quiet, and said disapprovingly.

The Gongsun Yue cavalry opened the way, followed by a mighty horse, driven by many horsemen.

After walking most of the way, Gongsun Yue and the deputy general both saw three horsemen standing in the shadow of the cliff in front of them. Gongsun Yue raised his arms, and the whole army suddenly stopped. Out of the shadows, three horsemen came out, riding tall horses, covered with black cloth, each carrying a spear in his hand.

Seeing this, the deputy general immediately went up, raised his big knife, and pointed at the three of them, "Du Tinghou subordinates are passing by, where is the thief, quickly retreat!" ”

Liu Kuan looked at Tian Yu, Tian Yu understood, drove, and rode out. When the adjutant saw that the other party didn't say a word, he moved up, and he also raised his knife and rushed over.

Tian Yu knew that Liu Kuan and Wuqiu Jian's weapons did not match, and he rarely fought against the enemy, so he wanted to test the progress of martial arts during this time. The two horses met head-on, Tian Yu used all his strength, swinging the big knife, the barrel of the gun was oblique, the arm was stabbed, the spear penetrated from the left rib of the lieutenant, the lieutenant fell off the horse, and dragged Tian Yu's spear back, Tian Yu pulled it hard, and the spear was raised. A shout resounded through the sky on the edge of the cliff.

In an instant, sharp arrows like locusts flew from the cliff, accompanied by the sound of the wind.

The little old man under Jane's subordinates and the other horse-chasers who were instructed by Jane's Ju and the Murjin brothers shouted and fled backwards, and the other horse-chasers were just driving horses for others, but they didn't want to lose their lives, and when they saw everyone running backwards, they also ran along.

Gongsun Yue was too busy to take care of himself, how could he have the energy to restrain these fleeing people, and his heart was full of contempt for these brave people.

Just as arrows and stones were falling from the sky, Gongsun Yue saw the rear positions on both sides, flags were erected, and thousands of people rushed down with a roar.

Qiu Liju? Why did Qiu Liju pop up again! Gongsun Yue restrained his troops and rushed forward, but when he saw that his troops had lost half of them under the arrows and stones, he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

Gongsun Yue's subordinates are also veterans of battle, but in the end they suffered the loss of the terrain, the archers on the cliff are condescending, which is both labor-saving and easy to aim, and the lethality of the stones is greater, whether it is hitting people or horses, it is very lethal.

After the people who were lying in ambush halfway up the cliff rushed down, the people at the top of the cliff also abandoned their positions and climbed down. The more Gongsun knew that there were many people on the other side, and if he didn't leave, the whole army would be wiped out.

Gongsun Yue didn't dare to run to the grassland, the grassland behind him was Qiu Liju's territory, and once he was driven into the grassland, he would have no chance to return to Youzhou. Gongsun Yue shouted: "Rush out!" As he spoke, he rushed towards Liu Kuan and the others.

Tian Yu and Wuqiu Jian were about to meet Gongsun Yue, but Liu Kuan stopped: "Let Gongsun Yue go, if Gongsun Yue dies, under Gongsun Zhan's anger, these tribes will be implicated." ”

Liu Kuan said that he led the two of them to retreat to the edge of the cliff. Seeing this, Gongsun Yue thought that the three of them were afraid, but at this time, every second was of the essence, and he had no time to take care of the three of them, so he quickly ran south with the sparse team!

Jian Juju and Murjin chased after them all the way, and when they saw Liu Kuan and the others waiting on the side, they came over with horses.

"Let your men chase after you, you organize people to clean up the battlefield, don't kill the enemy's wounded people, and don't take other weapons, leather armor and other materials, just collect the horses!" Liu Kuan said.

"Brother Zihua, why did you let Gongsun Yue go?" Murkin is straightforward and fast-talking.

Liu Kuan said solemnly: "If Gongsun Yue dies in the mountain owl, all the tribes in the north will be subjected to Gongsun Zhan's crazy revenge, and they must not invite disasters!" Liu Kuan knew that in history, it was because Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Yue that Gongsun Zhan formed a mortal enmity with Yuan Shao, and fought endlessly.

Jian Ju is also a cautious person, and when he saw Liu Kuan thinking about his clan in everything, he was moved. patted Murkin on the shoulder, "Big brother will take people to chase, and I'll clean up the battlefield." ”

Murkin chased after him happily, while Jane led the men to restrain the horses. Jian Ju knew that these weapons and leather armor, which were usually very precious to him, could not be taken away, and they could be exposed at any time, because the weapons were imprinted, and the leather armor style was also very different.

Gongsun Yue still left a pile of corpses at the exit of the canyon, and finally fled with only more than a hundred people.

Under Liu Kuan's restraint, the crowd still let go of the wounded and surrendered. In this battle, a total of more than 3,000 war horses were collected, except for the horses ridden by Gongsun Yue and others and killed in the battle, a total of more than 2,600 white horses and more than 500 war horses ridden by Gongsun Yue's men were obtained.

More than 40 of Xidu and Wofu's subordinates were killed and wounded, and for so many war horses, the price was still worth it.

Everyone happily returned all the way north, not only Jian Ju and the Murjin brothers, but almost everyone in the two clans admired Liu Kuan.

After walking back, when it was dark, Liu Kuan found a mountain col and told everyone to stop and rest. Because of the limited number of tents they brought, most of the people built campfires and camped in the wilderness.

In the tent, Liu Kuan saw that Wu Qiujian and Murjin brothers had drunk a little too much, "Brothers, everyone put down the wine glass, and I will say a few words." ”

Jian Ju saw that Mu Ertong hadn't heard Liu Kuan's words yet, and shouted: "Second brother, be quiet, Zihua has something to say." ”

"Brothers, everyone also knows my identity, I am indeed a descendant of the Liu family of the royal family. I know that life has not been easy for the tribes in these years, but I tell you that good times for all of you will soon come! Liu Kuan saw that the big tent was quiet, so he said.

After a few days of contact, Jian Ju and the others were already convinced of Liu Kuan, and heard Liu Kuan say: "Not long after, the Han Dynasty Zongzheng, my father Liu Yu will serve as the assassin of Youzhou." After my father comes, he will inevitably get close to all ethnic groups, and in the future, all ethnic groups will enjoy the same low position as the Han people, and we will send people to help all ethnic groups develop together, whether it is farming technology, iron smelting, and salt, we will not restrict the tribes! ”

"That's true!"

Murjin has a rough appearance, but he is also an understanding person, he has also been to Youzhou and Jizhou in the early years, and his own tribe is still very backward compared with the Central Plains because of the restrictions of various materials of the Han people! I couldn't help shouting.

"Seriously! Once you know that my father Liu Yu takes office, please inform all the tribes, please take the initiative to contact my father, my father and son hope that the north will be peaceful, hope that all ethnic groups will prosper, and hope that all ethnic groups will truly be equal, help each other, and develop together! ”

There were other leaders of the two clans in the tent, and they were all happy.
