Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Fire Burns the Thin Valley

The Boluo Valley is a north-south direction, as long as five or six miles, and the space is quite wide, which is more than enough to accommodate more than 10,000 pursuers.

Therefore, after seeing the last torch enter the valley mouth, Nuro immediately made a decision and ordered fifty soldiers to quickly push down the huge trees and stones piled up on the top of the cliff!

Only a rumbling crash was heard, and then the rebel rear army in the valley began to riot.

Someone shouted: "There is an ambush!" ”

"Taniguchi is blocked!"

At this time, the rebel front army had just walked through the middle of the Boluo Valley!

Yan Xing was riding a war horse, chasing the figures in front of him, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him, and when he looked back, he found that the army under his command had begun to be chaotic!

In this dark valley, any sound may cause a change in Yan zhòng!

"What's going on?!"

Yan Xing's heart was anxious, and he hurriedly asked.

Some soldiers did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly pulled out their horses' heads, turned around, and came back in a short time to report: "General, there is an ambush!" The mouth of the valley has been blocked by trees and rocks! ”

"Is there an ambush?!"

Yan Xing frowned, but he was not flustered. This was expected by him, but what he didn't understand was why the entrance was blocked.

Do you still want to wipe out his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses?!

Thinking of this, Yan Xing couldn't help but smile.

It's impossible, how many people are there under that kid? These more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, just stand here and let him kill, and he will be tired to death!

"Ignore it, keep pursuing!"

Yan Xing waved his hand and continued to move forward.

At this moment, there was a miserable scream behind him, and then, Yan Xing clearly felt a panicked atmosphere spreading.

"It's on fire!"

"Let's go!"

"Oops, my clothes are burning!"

"Go, go, forward, quick!"

"The fire is boiling!"

With this shout, the fire at the mouth of the valley expanded rapidly and spread rapidly.

Yan Xingmeng turned his head, and in the firelight, his eyes shrank significantly, and his face also showed panic.

"Fire Attack!"

"It's not good, quick, speed up, forward, rush out of this valley!"

Yan Xing instantly understood the Han general's plan, this was to block him in this valley and burn him alive!

Now that the back road is blocked and a fire is ignited, the only way out is forward.

"I hope the exit ahead hasn't been blocked!"

Yan Xing's face was pale, he never thought that he would be planted in the hands of dozens of enemies!

Suddenly, the war horse under his crotch was crooked, and he only heard a crisp sound, and Yan Xing was suddenly overturned by the war horse!

The horse's leg is broken!

"Got a trap?!"

Yan Xingwolf stood up, and his helmet fell off.

In his heart, there was a surge of despair that he had never felt before!

At this time, the soldiers and horses behind him were forced to rush forward by the rapidly spreading fire, and they came to him in a crowd.

Many of the surrounding soldiers were also caught off guard by traps and plotted and fell off their horses. But these pro-soldiers were quite responsible, and hurriedly rushed up, pushed away the congested rebels, and quickly fled around Yan Xing.

Li Zheng stood on the cliff, listening to the screams and screams below, and there was no trace of emotion in his heart. He saw that the fire was spreading, and the torches in the hands of the pursuers became accomplices - many of the pursuers threw down their torches in a panic, but set fire to the hay and firewood around them, which was no less than adding fuel to the fire!

The pursuers, who frantically fled north along the valley, encountered dense traps in the later sections. These traps aren't too deep, but they're just right to slow them down!

At this moment, there was also a loud noise at the exit of the north end.

The fifty soldiers there also pushed the trees and rocks that had been prepared earlier down the cliff and blocked the mouth of the valley!

Sighing, Li Zheng suddenly felt a little excited.

Life is so fragile, and water and fire are ruthless.

There are more than 10,000 lives in this valley, and I don't know how many will survive in the end.

However, Li Zheng doesn't feel pitiful for them, as an enemy party, either you die or I die. Could it be that Li Zheng still wants to let them go because he has mercy on life?

Could it be that after these people escaped, they would not hunt down Li Zheng? I can't wait to peel off the skin and bones.

"Let's go."

Li Zheng waved his hand, and under the guidance of Nuro, he quickly walked north along the cliff.

On the cliff at the exit of the north end, Fu Xie watched the fifty soldiers beside him push the wood and stone down, and then watched them shoot rockets and ignite the firewood and grass in the valley.

In the smoke and fire, listening to the roars and screams coming from the valley in his ears, and those desperate and hideous faces were reflected in his mind, Fu Xie felt a little unbearable in his heart.

However, Fu Xie understood people, so he didn't say much, just turned around and quickly went down the cliff with the group and gathered outside the exit.

When Li Zheng and the others went outside the north exit, what they saw at a glance was not Fu Xie, but a white wolf.

The white wolf and several other horsemen pretended to be Li Zheng and used as bait to lead the pursuers into the valley. Thanks to the fact that he knew the approximate distribution of the traps in the valley in his heart, he chose to walk next to the cliff, so he was not caught by his own traps. But even so, two riders accidentally broke their horses' legs, fell off their horses and were injured.

The corners of his mouth curled, and Li Zheng smiled.

"Brother Li Xian!"

"Lord!"

"It's okay!" Li Zheng stepped forward and patted the white wolf on the shoulder, and said to Fu Xie: "Brother Fu, this time they have been ruthless, presumably Han Sui will hate you and me to the bone." ”

"The two of us have already made Han Sui hate him to the bone." Fu Xie smiled and said, "After this battle, there must be no chasing soldiers in a short period of time, what are the plans of the virtuous brother next?!" ”

"Planning" Li Zheng took a breath of somewhat choking air and said, "I plan to send you Brother Fu to Zuo Fengyi first, and then go back to Lingzhou." ”

"Back to Lingzhou?"

Fu Xie frowned and said, "This time, you won more with less, fought for thousands of miles, defeated Han Sui's army several times, and made great contributions, why don't you go to Chang'an with me?" When my brother writes to the court, the Son of Heaven will definitely reward him, so wouldn't it be better to gather soldiers and horses with me and kill them back to Liangzhou together? ”

Li Zheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Although Fu Xie's words are reasonable, he has other plans in the future. ”

said, paused, and then said: "With Brother Fu here, the Son of Heaven will not treat me badly." However, it is enough to have Brother Fu on the side of the imperial court, but it is more useful for me to nail it in Lingzhou! ”

Fu Xie thought for a moment and nodded happily: "Yes, when the time comes, you and I will be attacked, and Han Sui will be broken!" Saying that, Fu Xie thought for a moment, and then said: "The virtuous brother is full of family soldiers in his hands, and there are not many of them, if you return to Lingzhou, you will temporarily take up the position of captain of the Qiang school, recruit soldiers and horses first, and step up training!" ”

Fu Xie considered that Li Zheng must not have many people in his hands, and if he wants to be a nail in Liangzhou, he is afraid that it will be difficult to resist Han Sui's attack and not be able to support the imperial court to send troops, so he has this sentence.

Moreover, the greater the power in Li Zheng's hands, the greater the role it will play when the imperial court sends troops to counterattack.

When Li Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed, but he was embarrassed and said, "This is not in accordance with the rules, right?" In case the day of the investigation down"

"It's okay!"

Fu Xie waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "The position of Captain Qiang has long existed in name only, and now that Liangzhou is in chaos, no one in the court will covet this thankless position." In addition, the virtuous brother has outstanding military achievements, and he understands the righteousness, and there is a brother to deal with you, I think it will not be long before the virtuous brother will receive an edict of appointment from the imperial court. ”

"That's it," Li Zheng bowed deeply and said, "Then please brother!" ”

Fu Xie helped Li Zheng up with a smile, stared at his eyes, and said earnestly: "The virtuous brother is skilled in soldiers and has the qualifications of a famous general, and he just doesn't want a general like the virtuous brother to be left in the wilderness." I only hope that the virtuous brother will always remember to protect the people and be loyal to the court, so that he can feel at ease as a brother. ”

"The words of the elder brother, the younger brother will remember them."

Li Zheng solemnly bowed, but said in his heart that it is certain to protect the people, but of course he is loyal to the imperial court, this must not be said.

Seeing Li Zheng's solemn matter, Fu Xie was relieved, and said: "My Fu family has already moved away from Meiyang, and some of the belongings left in Lingzhou are useless, so it is better to give the virtuous brother to recruit troops and horses." Later, I will write a letter for my brother, and after you return to Lingzhou, you will hand it over to the steward stationed in Wubao, and then take over the Fu family's ancestral house. ”

"Huh?!"

When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then, a feeling of emotion came to his heart.

Fu Xie can think about him like this, and he also gives away his ancestral inheritance, and his personal affection is too great.

For Li Zheng, this is tantamount to pie in the sky!

You must know that although the Fu family has moved away, the Fu family's properties in Lingzhou are still there. Docks, land, shops, etc., what kind of wealth is this?!

With these, Li Zheng's power can expand many times in a short period of time!

That's exactly what he needs.

Now Liangzhou is too chaotic, and he urgently needs to develop and grow, but in addition to a grassland, his other industries have just started. If you take over the belongings left by the Fu family, it is equivalent to getting the entire Lingzhou!

"Brother Fu still knows me." Li Zheng made another gesture and said, "The junior brother is worried about how to increase his strength and fight against the rebels, but I didn't expect Brother Fu to be so generous. Brother Fu, thank you! ”

Inside and outside the exit of Boluo Valley, only wood and stone are separated, but there is a world of difference. The fire in the valley burned through half the sky, making the night as if it were day, and the screams and howls in them made people's hearts tremble. Outside the valley mouth, he was smiling and smiling.

The fire became more and more vigorous, the heat was surging, the smoke was burning, Li Zheng and the others couldn't stand it, and hurriedly stayed away from here.

Overnight, Nuro took the lead in returning to Lingzhou with his foot soldiers and some wounded, while Li Zheng himself and the white wolf led dozens of horsemen to escort Fu Xie to the east and went straight to Zuo Fengyi.

As for why Li Zheng didn't stay in Boluo Valley and wait to beat the water dogs, it was unnecessary.

After this fire attack, the more than 10,000 rebels had to die at least seventy or eighty percent, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army had no threat to him. Moreover, his fire attack this time was just to remove the threat of the pursuers, and by the way, to give Han Sui a dismount, not to kill people for fun, and it didn't hurt to let go of those remnants of the defeated army

Jingshui originates from Fanting Mountain in Anding, traverses half of Anding County to the east, runs through the corner of the right Fufeng, and enters the territory of Zuo Fengyi, and finally joins Weishui.

A group of more than 50 horsemen escorted Fu Xie, out of Longdi Shengtou Mountain, galloping along the south bank of Jingshui, but after a day's work, they left Anding County and entered Youfufeng. After resting outside Qi County for the night, he set off again the next day, passed through the corner of the right Fufeng, and entered the range of Zuo Feng Yi.

It took another two days, and finally, Li Zheng sent Fu Xie to Anling County in Jingzhaoyin.

From Anling County to the south, but dozens of miles, across the Weishui, is the Xijing of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City!

Although he longed for Chang'an City, Li Zheng still suppressed the desire in his heart and said goodbye to Fu Xie in Anling.

After saying goodbye to Fu Xie, Li Zheng kept going, and immediately turned back along Jingshui, and after entering the range of Anding County, he turned north, passed through Anding, and entered the range of Beidi County.

After this back and forth, Li Zheng was on the road, and what he saw was not the prosperity of the land of Sanfu, but a kind of withering.

Many counties are sparsely populated, and if you think about it, most of them are because of the war in Liangzhou, which forced the population of these places to move eastward.

Even the bandits and horse bandits didn't encounter much along the way.

This shows the horror of war.
