The autumn is high and cool, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, the mountains and rivers are clear, between the heaven and the earth, a ride is vertical and horizontal, and it comes and goes.

Autumn sky high clouds, excellent vision, under the bright sun, a whole body of fiery sweat and blood BMW four hooves like flying, galloping on this vast and rich Fenhe plain, immediately the knight is full of spirit, head high, in the hunting wind in the longitudinal roar, behind the two poles quite bad taste of the Jianning King Li Qi's banner, in the singing, against the wind hunting and dancing.

"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north! The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost! The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, for 20 years, between vertical and horizontal, who can resist......

The horse's hooves go south, and people look north! People look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying......"

The high-spirited singing, driven by the internal force and the wind, was heard for miles, and the more than 1,000 Youzhou cavalry who were closely following two hundred paces behind were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

Mother, this is still singing!

"It's too arrogant!"

"Damn, you must catch up with him, peel and cramp!"

"This is too underestimating us, it is obvious that we three thousand pioneers are treated as nothing!"

"The one who joined the mother, not only did he treat our three thousand pioneers as nothing, but he didn't pay attention to the forty thousand Youzhou army, it was too arrogant!"

"Pretending to be struck by lightning!" - Something strange seems to have gotten in......

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, this King Jianning's riding and archery skills are indeed superb, so that the more than 1,000 Youzhou cavalry who are chasing after him are all flattened.

In terms of horsemanship, it is really a horse like a dragon and a man like a tiger, and the whole thing seems to grow together with the war horse under the crotch, even these grassland men who have lived on horseback since childhood, one by one, they are also ashamed of themselves; On archery. A bow in his hand that I don't know how many stones it is. With an arrow back, a Youzhou knight was shot in the throat and eyebrows. Even from the mouth and from the back of the head, not a single arrow missed.

But even so, the contempt of "Jianning King Li Qi" who treats them as nothing and goes deep into their bone marrow still makes these fierce and irritable grassland men completely unbearable!

Zhang Xiaozhong, the forward general of the Youzhou Army who was born in Xi Nu, couldn't bear this at all, and this Jianning King Li Qi went all the way. He has already killed two or three hundred elite cavalry under his command.

He never seemed to get tired, and rode his horse in front, and every half a breath and an arrow would surely take a life.

When he had shot all the white feather arrows in Hululi, he took off his spear, protected his whole body and his horse from the wind and rain, and at the same time slowed down the horse's speed to lure the Youzhou cavalry behind to catch up, and then killed dozens of people and snatched a few Hulu feather arrows, accelerated forward again, and released an arrow every half every breath again.

This feeling. It's like playing.

After chasing for more than 20 miles in one breath, Zhang Zhongxiao obviously felt that the morale of the more than 1,000 cavalry under his command was extremely low. At the same time, it is like thunder, and a lot of mental energy is consumed, or it will not be long before you will be tired and even collapse.

There is no way, more than 1,000 people, being played like this by one person and one horse, the provocation of Hongguoguo, not to mention them, even I can't stand it, which makes Zhang Xiaozhong think of the lone wolf and deer on the grassland.

Zhang Zhongxiao was born in Xi slave, and since he was a child, he has heard the old people in the tribe talk about how lone wolves deal with deer herds. A wolf naturally has no way to directly attack a herd of deer with hundreds of deer, and the deer also have a temper and combat effectiveness, and if you are not careful, you will be killed by the antlers and kicked to death by the hooves of the deer.

The method adopted by the experienced lone wolf is to follow the deer herd not far away, to intimidate the deer herd at any time, and to go up to harass the deer when they are eating grass and drinking water, so that the deer herd will continue to be in a state of tension and fear for several days or even ten days.

So, although there is only one wolf, but the deer herd of more than a hundred deer can't eat well for several days, and can't sleep well, maybe there will be a grumpy male deer who will want to use the antlers to drive the lone wolf away, but the lone wolf easily dodged the attack but still followed closely, endlessly entangled, and finally the deer herd could only keep running away, trekking through mountains and rivers.

But the lone wolf is still reluctant to follow, and death is always looming, and the state of the deer herd will become worse and worse.

So after six or seven days, or even more than ten days, all the deer in the herd become exhausted, and eventually collapse, and then one or two deer will not be able to stand the tremendous pressure, or they will die of exhaustion or they will not be able to keep up with the team.

Could it be that this King of Jianning also wants to use the method of a lone wolf against the other deer herd to deal with our 3,000 forwards or even 40,000 Youzhou cavalry?

Hmph, it's a good idea, but it's a pity that we are not the stupid and psychologically poor deer herd, between us, who is the prey, not necessarily!

Zhang Xiaozhong sneered, he looked around at the Youzhou cavalry behind him on both sides, and said loudly: "Hold on for a while, let him be proud for a while, and let him look good later!" ”

Soon, the opportunity to "make him look good" as Zhang Xiaozhong said appeared.

About fifty miles southeast of Wenshui County, is the state capital of Xihe County, Fenzhou City, there is a river in the north of Fenzhou City, called Yudao River, from Wenshui County to Fenzhou City, it is necessary to pass a bridge on the Yudao River.

At this moment, the 1,500 Youzhou cavalry secretly sent out by Zhang Xiaozhong early in the morning had already made a detour to the outside of Fenzhou City, and a part of them dismounted at the bridgehead and waited in formation.

Seeing from a distance that the division of troops he sent out finally appeared in front of the "King of Jianning", Zhang Xiaozhong's excited eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "He is ambushed, there is no way ahead, rush, kill him, kill him!" ”

Before the words fell, the six hundred Youzhou vanguard cavalry divided into two, speeding up and outflanking the two wings, while Zhang Zhongxiao took the remaining more than 500 horsemen and frantically kicked the belly of the horse towards the "King of Jianning".

The three teams of cavalry, together with the nearly 1,000 cavalry who had been waiting for a long time in front of them, formed a huge encirclement of Xiao Qubing from the north and south directions.

Together with Zhang Xiaozhong, more than 1,000 people were molested, provoked, played, and killed more than 300 companions.

"Haha, look how you escape......"

"Tell you to keep provoking. Call you such a prodigal ......"

"Peeling cramps. Broken corpses ......"

"Haha. The dog thief finally has no way to escape! Zhang Xiaozhong also looked up to the sky and laughed, however, in the next moment, his jaw was shocked.

Seeing such a scene, instead of panicking at all, the "Jianning King Li Qi", who was surrounded by groups, turned around and showed a strange smile to himself, although he was wearing half of the golden mask. covered most of his face, but Zhang Xiaozhong could still see it clearly, and there was an obvious upturned movement at the corner of his mouth, and that expression was clearly mocking.

Then Zhang Xiaozhong saw that the "Jianning King Li Qi" put away the treasure bow, took off the big gun on the victory hook, and gently kicked the horse's belly, and the speed of the BMW under the crotch skyrocketed by three or four percent, and with the "Jianning King Li Qi" on the horse, he plunged into the more than 300 cavalry formations on the right to intercept and outflank.

Then Zhang Xiaozhong saw a terrifying picture that he would never forget, this King Jianning seemed to be a killing god. A large spear flew up and down like lightning in his hand, circling and flying. Not only did he and the war horse be covered from the wind and rain, but everywhere he passed, blood was splashed everywhere, people's heads were rolling, and exclamations and screams were all in one.

Not only is the King of Jianning himself so strong that he is boundless, but the sweat and blood BMW under the crotch is also one in ten thousand, the best of the best, in the battle of the battle, the speed is not reduced, and he can always dexterously find the gap to rush left and right, tossing and turning, only a few breaths, he carried the "Jianning King Li Qi" on the horse to kill the left wing of more than 300 people of the barricades, and then rushed into the middle of the barricades again.

Where is this still a person, this is clearly the enemy and demon in hell, this is clearly the enemy of ten thousand people!

A chill instantly climbed up Zhang Xiaozhong's back, and he woke up a little like a dream to realize that his side had been tricked by this "Jianning King Li Qi".

This King Jianning first took the initiative to bump into the cavalry on his side, and then turned his head and ran, so since he is the number one enemy of the Youzhou Army and the number one heart barrier, and now he is alone, the first reaction to this side is naturally to chase.

Then, in the process of pursuit, it always remains at a distance of about two hundred paces, neither far nor close, giving people the feeling that they can catch up with more effort; An arrow is released every one or two breaths, although the arrows are not missed, but after all, only one person dies at a time, which is easy to ignore compared to the huge base of thousands of people.

And the more this is the case, the more they will chase after you, because all people will think that the more arrogant and provocative you are, the more they look forward to the ending of "after chasing you, the more they will torture you, torture you, and make you arrogant", and then he will lead you all the way here.

Up to now, the "Jianning King Li Qi" suddenly became powerful, single-handedly rushed into the enemy formation, but no one could stop it, and all the people suddenly realized that there was another kind of person in this world, called - 10,000 enemies, and his side was only 3,000 horsemen.

As a result, the psychological expectation of "calling you arrogant, calling you provocative, telling you to pretend, and waiting for you to look good" that they had been chasing after them was shattered and replaced by a kind of creepy fear.

When Xiao Qubing broke through the right flank of the road-blocking cavalry, the more than 1,000 Youzhou cavalry who had been chasing after him before suddenly panicked and turned to flee.

But they chased after each other all the way, and the Youzhou horses were no better than the war horses of the Tiance Army, and they were fed high-grade feed such as grain, beans, eggs, and carrots; These Youzhou war horses, which have long been fed on forage, have already consumed almost all of their horsepower by this time.

On the other hand, perhaps because of excessive fear, these Youzhou cavalry did not know to scatter and run, but ran back in a swarm along the road they came.

In this case, how could Xiao Qubing let them go back so easily, after sweeping a circle of roadblock cavalry again, and another round of arrows rained down the Youzhou cavalry that had dismounted at the bridgehead and fled, Xiao Qubing chased after him along the same road.

Chase it, chase it, he also chased while shouting: "Hey, who is that, Zhang Xiaozhong is, don't run, if you run again, this king will be killed without leaving one!" ”

The sound of Pei Ran's strong voice spread for several miles, as if it sounded in everyone's ears, so the nearly 1,000 Youzhou cavalry became more and more frightened and rushed forward.

Then Xiao Quzhi continued to shout: "An Lushan's mongrel is about to be finished, Your Majesty has appointed this king as the marshal of the expedition, Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu envoys, and promised this king full power to quell the chaos and control the soldiers and horses in all towns in the world."

Hui Hui has already surrendered, the soldiers and horses of various towns are gathering over, and Fan Yang is also surrounded. If you don't surrender, it's a dead end! ”

Three thousand vanguard cavalry under Zhang Xiaozhong. It was mainly based on Xi cavalry. These Hu people, especially the Xi people, are capricious, surrendering, and rebellious.

Not to mention that many ordinary Xi soldiers have rebelled against the Tang Dynasty more than ten times a year, and in the past ten years, the entire Xi tribe has surrendered and rebelled more than ten times.

Now as soon as they heard that the "King of Jianning" had been appointed as such a big official and allowed them to surrender, these Xi people who could understand Tang Yin hesitated.

An Lushan's side will be finished sooner or later. This is something that a fool can see, and if surrender is allowed, why not? Isn't surrender as normal as eating and drinking for us ridicule people?

Then these Xi people, who could understand Tang Yin, loudly translated Xiao Quai's words and asked the opinions of the people around them, and more people looked at Zhang Xiaozhong.

There are also a few people who were deeply bewitched by An Lushan, and they shouted loudly in the team: "Fake, don't believe it!" ”

"He's lying to us, and when we stop, he'll kill us all!"

Zhang Xiaozhong also wanted to surrender. His father attached to the Tang Dynasty in the Kaiyuan period, and he also became a big official like Honglu Siqing. Therefore, Zhang Xiaozhong is different from many Khitan, Xi, and Murowei who have just surrendered to An Lushan, who are bent on going south to plunder, he has been used to living a good life since he was a child.

He rebelled with An Lushan, although he was a Hu man who was inclined to An Lushan, and was bewitched by An Lushan's propaganda, but there was also a trace of coercion in it, no way, An Lushan is a festival envoy, and he didn't dare not listen to the words of the festival envoy!

The power of the Tang Dynasty's Jiedu envoy is simply too great, if a deputy Jiedu envoy or a certain military envoy (such as Fan Yang Jiedu envoy commands the Jingluo Army, Jingsai Army, Beiping Army and other nine armies, and the boss of each army is a military envoy), there is no background power or the relationship with the Jiedu envoy is not very good, and the Jiedu envoy can directly kill the other party without any procedure and without any excuse without paying responsibility.

And because he has received a little Sinicization education, he actually has such a lost feeling for the Tang Dynasty, and now the situation in An Lushan is so unfavorable, Zhang Xiaozhong naturally does not want to be buried with An Lushan, and he has long wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but he is really afraid that King Jianning is lying to them, so he hesitates.

At this moment, Xiao Qubing had already chased to within one hundred and fifty steps, with arrows in his hand, and a person shot a shower of arrows, and the Youzhou cavalry running behind crackled and fell off the horse, screaming one after another, and the other Youzhou cavalry were frightened one by one.

Then Xiao Quzhi thrust the giant bow into the bow bag, took off the spear casually, and slammed the horse's belly, and the little red horse burst out with the fastest speed, like a red lightning, and crashed into the military formation of hundreds of rebel cavalry from behind, plowing a bloody path in it.

At the same time, his mouth was not idle, and the voice of the bell sounded in everyone's ears: "This king counts to five, slow down and dismount, spare you from death, and continue to flee, not a single one will be left!" ”

As soon as the words of "one ......" were finished, Xiao Quzhi shouted out the first number, and Zhang Xiaozhong immediately shouted: "King Jianning, you can't break your word......"

"II...... Three ......" Xiao Quzhi didn't answer Zhang Xiaozhong's words, and didn't even pay attention to them at all, after shouting one, in the next two seconds and the next four seconds, he directly shouted out two and three.

At this time, Xiao Qubing had already ridden his horse to chase after Zhang Xiaozhong, he paused for a moment, the spear swept around, and after killing the nearest four people, the tip of the spear rested directly on Zhang Xiaozhong's shoulder: "Four ......"

Zhang Xiaozhong was immediately frightened that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and before he had time to think, he reined in his war horse and shouted loudly: "Slow down the horse, I will wait for the surrender!" ”

The remaining more than 700 people immediately reined in their horses and accelerated, ready to dismount and surrender, at this time Xiao Qubing had already ridden his horse to the front of them, he pulled the reins suddenly, the little red horse was across the road, the front hooves were vacant and stood up, and the Xiao Qubing spear on the horse pointed to the left, and shouted: "Five! ”

Seven hundred Youzhou rebel cavalry dismounted at the same time, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!" ”

The two front hooves of the little red horse fell to the ground heavily, and the corners of Xiao Quai's mouth brought a sneer, and he became happy: "Okay, then you are now the king's subordinates, and the king will do what he says, as long as you surrender, you can avoid death."

If you do a good job, not only can you eat well, dress well, live in the best house, and marry the most beautiful little lady, but it is not impossible to become a general in the future. ”

It's like taming a wolf, the first thing to do must be to beat the other party down. Then lure it to your advantage. Wolf taming is food. Taming these capricious Youzhou rebels uses all kinds of benefits, commonly known as painting a big pie.

Xiao Qubing asked Zhang Zhongxiao to translate it, and the Youzhou rebels who were still terrified before immediately released a greedy light in their eyes, Xiao Qubing saw with his own eyes that some Youzhou soldiers unconsciously showed a cruel smile and a "That's it" and "It's too easy" expressions on their faces.

Xiao Quzhi's tone was cold, and his voice was cold: "Of course, I want to be the king's subordinate." You must abide by the rules of this king, and if you have any dissenting intentions, and then think about the set of rebellion and capriciousness on the grassland, as soon as you find these signs, you will be executed immediately!

There are many rules of this king, and I am afraid that you will not be able to remember them, so I will say three points first. First, all actions are under command, and this command is naturally the command of the king, the Tiance Mansion, and the commanders assigned to you by the king; Second, abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. It is not allowed to harm the people of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not allowed to seize the people's property. Murder and plundering are all the more prohibited; Third, as mentioned above, if there is a slightest violation of the slightest, it will not be tolerated and will be executed immediately! Supervise one another, expose meritorious deeds, and those who are found to be hidden will be punished with the same sin, and they will be put to death together! ”

After the translation, more than 700 people were all subservient and trembling, and they were so cruel and cruel that they were so brutal and cruel that they were almost like mud, and some of them could speak Datang and were emotional, and they cursed and swore on the spot with tears in their eyes.

But Xiao Quzhi naturally wouldn't believe them.

Xiao Quzhi continued: "Then again, you committed such a capital crime before, and the Tang Dynasty treated you well, but you followed An Lushan's mongrel Hu to rebel, killed so many Tang soldiers, killed so many unarmed Tang people, burned, killed and looted, annihilated silver and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, you can't finally fail to win, say surrender, and the evil things you have done before will be written off, right?"

You say, how can there be such a truth in the world, how can there be such a cheap thing?! ”

Zhang Xiaozhong's face was pale, sweating through his clothes, and his voice trembled and said: "King Jianning, we have already convicted of our crimes, I just ask King Jianning to spare our lives and give us a chance to atone for our sins. ”

Xiao Quzhi snorted coldly: "Do you all think so?" ”

After the translation, whether it was true or false, the more than 700 Youzhou rebels all cried loudly, saying that they would definitely reform and atone for their crimes.

Believing that they have ghosts, Xiao Quzhi gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, each of you is a sinner, all of you are extremely evil, and all of you should be cut by a thousand knives and go to eighteen layers of hell!" ”

Xiao Quzhi obviously smelled the smell of commotion, obviously some people were so frightened that they couldn't hold their urine, they wanted to resist but didn't dare, they knelt on the ground and just shivered like sifting chaff, and some secretly wanted to touch the horizontal knife, but they didn't dare.

Xiao Quai's cold voice continued: "So, don't think that this king will treat you as a person now, let alone receive preferential treatment, the Four Seas Trading Company and Tiance Mansion have money, food, wine and meat, but not for you sinners!"

Only after you have atoned for your sins, in the eyes of this king, in the eyes of Tiance Mansion, and in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, can you be regarded as a person, and you will be eligible for what this king said, good food and drink, good houses, and countless money.

There are many ways for you to atone for your sins, the first is to truly realize your deep sins, confess your sins, and reflect on this is the first step, and then this king will lock you up in the camp~middle~ camp and send a trainer to you......

…… This is the condition that this king allows you to surrender, is there anyone who feels that you can't accept it, this king gives you a chance, now stand up, this king will let you go now! ”

As if a thunderbolt struck Zhang Xiaozhong's heart, Zhang Xiaozhong, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble again, and cold sweat broke out again. Zhang Xiaozhong was only praying in his heart, don't be fooled, don't be fooled.

However, the more than 700 people could not hear his prayers, and a hundred or so people really stood up, saying that they admired freedom and happiness and could not accept such harsh surrender conditions.

Then Xiao Quzhi smiled, and ordered them with a pleasant face He took off his weapons and armor and stood aside, then raised his hand to let the remaining five hundred people get up, and said happily: "Okay, do you remember the rules that this king said, what is the first one?" ”

Zhang Zhongxiao's voice trembled and said: "All actions are subject to command, and the key point is to listen to the command of King Jianning. ”

More than a dozen people who could speak Tang Yin also replied: "All actions are subject to command, and the key point is to listen to the command of King Jianning." ”

Xiao Quzhi was even happier, and said with a smile: "What else did the king say before he said these rules?" ”

Zhang Zhongxiao said respectfully: "There must be no more dissent, no more capricious as before, as soon as these signs are discovered, they will be executed immediately!" ”

Among the more than 100 people who could understand Tang Yin, they immediately panicked, trembling and knelt down again and shook their heads and begged to surrender, but Xiao Quzhi didn't look at them, just stared at Zhang Xiaozhong and more than 500 people behind him, and said coldly: "Then listen to the command of this king, and kill all these people who are still dissenting to this day." ”

After Zhang Xiaozhong finished translating the words, more than 100 people over there naturally begged for mercy, and more than 500 people here, after two or three breaths of silence and eye contact...... He drew the horizontal knife at his waist.

……

About half an hour later, not far from the stone bridge where the battle took place before, the city wall was full of city defenders and unity soldiers (the township soldiers who were half peasants and half soldiers levied and led by the state assassin Shi), and under the leadership of two Tiance internal guards, they went out of the city to capture two or three hundred Youzhou soldiers, and after cleaning the battlefield, they were stunned to see that "Jianning King Li Qi" was escorted by himself with more than 500 Youzhou soldiers, and came to the city gate to call the door.

After Xiao Quai's illness showed the goldfish talisman and the holy decree, the Taishou who guarded the city (that is, the history of the thorns, the Tang Dynasty, the history of the thorns and the Taishou always changed back and forth) opened the gate with the unity soldiers, and introduced the more than 500 Youzhou soldiers who were disarmed outside the city gate into the city, and arranged a special place and special people to keep them in custody.

Then when a group of people were panicked, scared, and worried, when the sun was setting, Xiao Qu came to the barracks where they were imprisoned, and found Zhang Xiaozhong: "Let's go, the opportunity to atone for meritorious service has come, and this king needs eighty horsemen to follow this king to attack the rebels in Youzhou at night......" (to be continued. )
