Archery training in peacetime, Liu Ze's requirements are not too strict, especially the training of archers, only require a rough shot at the target, and do not pursue accuracy, mainly with the characteristics of the archers, in the process of galloping at high speed, the archers in a line formation adopt a salvo method, instantly forming a death fan against the enemy, at this time the requirements for the archers are not the precise strike on each target, but the requirement to be consistent in the height above the strength.

However, Liu Ze still specially selected some knights with archery talents, carried out special intensive training, and used a special iron bow with aiming function, which not only has a range of one-third farther than an ordinary longbow, but also uses three-edged feathers (ordinary arrow clusters are two-edged feathers). The biggest advantage of the three-edged feather is that the stability of the arrow in flight is greatly enhanced, which greatly improves the accuracy of shooting at the ground. Liu Ze's purpose is to train some sharpshooters similar to snipers in later generations, specializing in performing sniper missions on the battlefield.

Those marksmen really shot extraordinary, "swishing" a few arrows, and shot several Hun centurions one after another, and they either hit the throat or hit the center of the fossa, all of them were killed with one arrow. Yu Xian's death and the death of several centurions immediately reversed, and the Hun soldiers completely lost their command and became a pot of porridge, and many Hun soldiers had begun to flee.

Liu Ze's cavalry took advantage of the situation to cover the kill, the Huns were completely defeated, the battle ended quickly, because the road out of the valley was narrow and difficult, the Huns who fled to the valley mouth crowded each other, trampled on each other, completely became a live target, were ruthlessly shot by bows and arrows, and finally only a few Hun soldiers escaped, most of the Huns were either killed or taken prisoner.

The captured Hun soldiers were escorted together, a total of five or six hundred people, all of whom had been disarmed, gathered and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, surrounded by Liu Zejun, who was armed with a bright saber. Wu Anguo asked Liu Ze for instructions: "Lord Qiqi, all the captives have been brought, how to deal with them?" ”

Liu Ze glanced coldly at the horse and made a decapitation gesture: "Kill them all!" ”

Wu Anguo was stunned, in his impression, the lord was benevolent and kind, but at this moment, he seemed extremely cold.

Liu Ze said coldly: "Do you want me to repeat it again?" ”

Wu Anguo's heart sank, and he said respectfully: "No! He turned around and gave the order to kill.

These soldiers were only fifteen or sixteen years old, their blood was strong, there was no difference between right and wrong, and there was no distinction between good and evil, in their hearts, the lord's order was greater than the sky, and they gave an order, and they slaughtered these hundreds of Hun prisoners of war. Although the Huns also fiercely resisted when they were dying, they were unarmed like lambs to the slaughter, just like the Han people of the Western Regions they had slaughtered, and they were slaughtered cleanly.

Looking at the corpses of the Huns all over the ground, Jia Xu had to re-examine this enigmatic young man, if the ambush battle in the Bailing River Valley was somewhat defeated, and the battle in this upper river valley was completely spelled out, in the absolute disadvantage of one to five, it was possible to completely annihilate the enemy, what is this not a miracle?

Watching him take the lead in the enemy's ranks, watching him charge forward bravely and fearlessly, watching him ruthlessly fight prisoners of war, his skills are so vigorous, his eyes are so determined, is this a mercenary, opportunistic businessman?

Liu Ze looked at Jia Xu with a look of compassion and said, "Mr. Wenhe seems to have some objections to the execution of the captives?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "It's just a translator below, and how Shopkeeper Liu behaves is not willing to do anything." ”

"But Mr. Wenhe must be very disapproving." Liu Ze understands that these so-called scholars, who have read the books of sages for several years, often talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and make a compassionate attitude, completely ignorant of the cruelty of reality, and Jia Xu is of course no exception. Although there was a move in history to persuade Li Yu and Guo Yan to return to Chang'an, his starting point was only to consider himself and do his duty as a strategist, and the final consequences must have been unexpected by him.

Jia Xu is called a "poisoner" among the strategists of the Three Kingdoms, probably because of this incident, because in addition to this, Jia Xu doesn't seem to have any vicious schemes, and in his later years, he is even more obscure, ignorant of political affairs, and the term of a poisoner is actually exaggerated.

Liu Ze said again: "These Huns, which one is not his hands stained with the blood of my Han people and the people of the Western Regions, if we hadn't arrived in time, now the corpses in the Bailing River Valley are all over the field are these defenseless and innocent Dawan people, did they think of the word mercy when they mutilated other people's lives?" The murderer is always killed, and now I am a sword, and they are fish and meat, and they will not want to receive mercy from me. ”

Jia Xu sighed: "Stopping violence with violence is not the right way in the end. ”

At this time, those Dawan people who seemed to have woken up from a dream came to Liu Ze's horse in a group, kowtowed and thanked him, led by the weak young man and an old man with gray temples that Liu Ze had just saved. The old man bowed to the ground and said, "Respected Sun Divine Envoy, thank you for your generosity and selfless rescue, and all the subjects of the Dawan Kingdom bow to you and thank you. ”

"Sun Messenger?" Liu Ze was stunned, and then realized that the position where he first launched an attack happened to be from the east, when the sun was rising, in the eyes of the Dawan people, it was really the sun god who sent a messenger down to rescue the suffering Dawan people.

What the old man said was not the Western Regions dialect but the Han dialect, but it also omitted Jia Xu's translation. At the moment, he shook each other and said with a slight smile: "It's not a sun god envoy in the bottom, it's just a merchant who happens to pass by here. ”

"The divine envoy came from the east, this is the heavens favor my Dawan, if it were not for the divine envoy to rescue, my Dawan little prince has already died under the sword of the Huns, and the people of my whole clan will not escape the scourge of extermination, this great grace, all the Dawan people will always remember in their hearts, dare not forget, if the divine envoy is sent, we will go to the soup and fire, in order to repay the emergency." The old man's eyes were full of gratitude.

Liu Ze heard that the weak young man was actually Prince Dawan, and he had just spent the rest of his life under the knife, which was indeed thrilling.

Liu Ze asked: "It is rumored that the Dawan Kingdom was destroyed by the Xiongnu ten years ago, why did the old man and the little prince and other clansmen live here?" ”

The old man said respectfully: "The old man is the first king of Dawan to drive down the palace chief order first, when Guishan City was broken by the Huns, the old man was ordered by the first king, escorted the little prince to escape from Guishan City, this ten years in the south of the Lingnan Mountains, no fixed place, wandering, just to escape the pursuit of the Huns, but I can't think of escaping to this inaccessible Nanshan Bailing Valley or was tracked by the Huns, if it is not for the gods to save in time, I am afraid that after today, there is no Dawan in the world. ”

"Then why are the Xiongnu so vicious, they have already invaded the territory of your country, why do they want to kill you all?"

Ling Xian sighed and said: "In fact, all the disasters are caused by the sweat and blood of our country. The Xiongnu coveted the sweat and blood horses for a long time, as early as the early years of the Han Dynasty, several of the Xiongnu Shan Yu repeatedly asked the king of his country to pay tribute to the sweat and blood horses, the sweat and blood horses were regarded as divine horses in their own country, when Emperor Wu wanted to exchange the golden horse for a sweat and blood horse were not able to do so, for the requirements of the Huns, of course, the king of our country was ignored. Because our country and the Xiongnu are thousands of miles apart, the Xiongnu and the Han are fighting endlessly, although the Xiongnu have a grudge in their hearts, they are helpless. Ten years ago, the Xiongnu was divided into two northern parts, and the Northern Xiongnu were defeated by the Han and Xianbei, so they could only give up the river loop and desert that had been operating for hundreds of years, and migrated westward, so they harmed the Western Regions, and the countries of the Western Regions that had been peaceful for hundreds of years were destroyed by the Xiongnu one by one, and the Dawan Kingdom was naturally not spared. Ten years ago, before the Huns invaded Guishan City, I took the little prince with me on the orders of the king, as well as tens of thousands of women and children, and of course thousands of bloody horses. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Huns, we have been migrating for the past ten years, tossing and dying between the mountains and mountains of the Lingnan Mountains, I never dare to forget the king's will, the sweat and blood of the horse must not fall into the hands of the Huns, if it really gets the dangerous moment of extinction, even if the sweat and blood horses are killed, the Huns can not get. With the strength of the Huns and the sweat and blood of the horses, there may be no more peaceful days in the world. ”

Ling Xian beckoned, and his subordinates immediately led the two horses and said, "In order to thank the divine envoy for saving his life, these two superb sweat and blood horses ask the divine envoy to laugh." ”

Liu Ze didn't answer, he looked at the two horses and was stunned - completely shocked. It's so beautiful, there can be such a beautiful horse in the world, about one zhang long from head to tail, eight feet high from hooves to neck, a horse's head higher than the Xiongnu Xianbei and other northern horses, thick four hooves, strong muscles, outlining an almost perfect arc, and even more absolutely the two horses are white and black, the white horse's hair is warm as jade, clean as mutton fat, except for the four hooves black There is no half of the hair on the body, and the black horse is just the opposite, the four hooves are white and the hair color is shiny like black satin.

Ling Xian said quite complacently: "These two sweat and blood horses are the treasures of the gods that can not be met for many years, they can travel thousands of miles in a day, walk eight hundred at night, climb mountains and wade through water, such as walking on the ground, the white horse is called 'shining the night jade lion', and the black horse is called 'kicking the snow and black horse', all of which are thousands of miles of divine rides." ”

"How dare you accept such a precious thing." Liu Ze was amazed at the divine steeds of the two horses, but he still politely excused himself.

"God makes a great grace, there is no way to repay, today I offer a BMW, to thank Houde, please God make it don't shirk."

Liu Ze really liked these two horses too much, and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, so I'm ashamed." ”

He approached the two horses, wanting to take a closer look, the white horse seemed to be psychic, stretched out his nose to Liu Ze and sniffed, Liu Ze was overjoyed, took the reins, turned over the horse, and galloped away.
