Chapter 352: The Matter of Youzhou (6)
Guan Jing left with two heads, but Chen Zhi's reputation began to spread in the grassland.
The two people killed by Chen Zhi were named Yu Zhuyu and Su Li, both of whom were famous warriors among the alien races in the northern grasslands, and one was the three armies of Yongguan.
Who knew that it was these two people, who were picked up by Chen Zhi with a shot before they took three rounds under Chen Zhi's hands, so brave, even Gongsun Chan couldn't do it.
This was the beginning of Chen's famous earthquake in northern Xinjiang. That's for later, though.
Now there is a strange phenomenon on the grassland, the incompatible forces of the three parties are actually peaceful, Liu He is easy to say, now there are both Gongsun Zan and Xu Ji, of course he does not dare to act rashly
However, Xu Ji did not move for three days. Liu He and Gongsun Zhan were confused, especially Gongsun Zhan, who didn't understand why Xu Ji didn't react after agreeing to send troops to attack Liu He.
However, Xu Ji has already agreed to send troops, and there are only three days, so of course it is not good for Gongsun Chan to say anything.
However, Liu He came here to ask for the bodies of Yu Zhuqi and Su Li, who came to the Xu Ji military camp three days ago to provoke and were killed by Chen Zhi. Of course, Xu Ji can't hand over these two headless corpses to Liu He, so the other party will definitely trace the source of the two heads, if he knows that the two heads are already in Gongsun Zhan's place, it will make Liu He suspicious, and maybe it will make Xu Ji's deal with Gongsun Zhan's affairs extraneous.
So Xu Ji only said that the bodies of the two had been buried, and they could not be sent to the ground.
Liu He didn't doubt it.
Xu Ji's wait-and-see is of course purposeful. After all, the commander-in-chief behind the battle of Youzhou is actually Xun You.
Xu Ji is in the light, Xun You is in the dark. In this way, everyone will only pay attention to Xu Ji's actions. And ignoring Xun You is the real killer feature.
Without Xun You's news, Xu Ji would never have made the first move.
Two more days passed. Finally. Xun You sent a letter asking Xu Ji to feint against Liu He's military camp, and also pay attention to Gongsun Zhan's movements. Xu Ji hurriedly ordered Chen to gather the army.
Not much. Xu Ji led Chen Zhi and 10,000 Yanzhou cavalry to set off.
Xu Ji's army deliberately moved slowly. It is to give Gongsun Chan the time to know the news.
Really. Not long after, Gongsun Zhan knew the movements of Xu Ji's army, and knew that Xu Ji really "succumbed" to himself, so he was overjoyed, so he asked his subordinates whether he was fighting with the tiger sitting on the mountain? It's better to send troops with Xu Ji. Guan Jing analyzed to Gongsun Zhan, he thought that Xu Ji did not dare to make any demands to Gongsun Chan now, otherwise he would definitely greet Gongsun Chan before sending troops this time.
In this situation, Gongsun Zhan's best choice is to act like supporting Xu Ji behind Xu Ji. At the same time, the soldiers and horses in Fanyang were mobilized to wait for an opportunity to attack Xu Ji from behind together with his army on the grassland, and Xu Ji must be trying his best to attack Liu He at this time. will not be guarded, so that Xu Ji can be defeated in one fell swoop.
Gongsun Chan was overjoyed, thinking that this was a great plan. So he immediately sent people to Fanyang City to mobilize people. At the same time, troops were dispatched to chase Xu Ji from behind.
Of course, all this can't be hidden from Xu Ji.
At noon, Xu Ji's army finally came to the front of Liu He's camp.
The arrival of the Yanzhou army caused Liu He's army to panic.
After a while, the sound of the company's camp horn was sounded. In the grassland of early autumn, it looks bleak and unusual. After a while, Liu He, with his generals and more than 20,000 soldiers from different races in the grassland, appeared in front of Xu Ji's army.
Although the number of the army on the other side was more than twice that of the Yanzhou army, this still did not give Liu Hedi the slightest sense of security.
When the two armies faced each other. Liu He saw Xu Ji wearing a black armor on the opposite side, and he was wearing a mask of Han Ba. I was nervous, but I had to step forward and shout loudly: "General Xu, you led the army to come here suddenly. Why? I remember General Xu said that before he eliminated Gongsun Zhan, he would never go to war with our army. Why the backtracking? ”
Xu Jilang said: "Liu and Gongzi misunderstood. I'm not here to fight, but to discuss something with Liu Hegongzi. Please Liu He Gongzi must promise me! ”
Liu He hadn't spoken yet, and a horse flew out of Liu He's side. Just look at his appearance and know that he is not a Han Chinese.
I saw him blow up his beard, wave the spear in his hand, straighten up his strong figure, and said in a loud voice: "Xu Ji, you don't want to deceive people too much!" You are embarrassed to say that you are here to discuss things with Liu He Gongzi, and you actually brought so many soldiers and horses, don't Liu He Gongzi agree, do you still want to move strong? Xu Ji looked at this person and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”
The bearded man perked up and shouted, "I am the fierce general under Lord Liu He." ”
Xu Ji smiled coldly when he heard this, suddenly stretched out his big hand, and copied it behind his back, and his strong bow was copied in his hand, and before everyone understood what was going on, Xu Ji had immediately bent the bow, the bow was like a full moon, the arrow was like a meteor, and where the bowstring sounded, Namika had already been hit by an arrow in his throat, turned over and fell off his horse and died. Except for Chen Dao, I'm afraid no one here can see Xu Ji's movements clearly.
How did Micah die?
Everyone gasped.
Seeing that his good friend had died, Micah's friend couldn't help but be furious, roared, rode his horse and danced his spear, and rushed towards Xu Ji desperately.
The crowd couldn't stop it. Who knew that he rushed in front of Xu Ji, Chen Zhi, who was beside Xu Ji, snorted coldly, stepped forward, and where the silver gun flashed in his hand, the body of the machine suddenly changed and flew backwards from his mother's back.
A bloody mist rose in the sky.
In the next moment, he fell to the ground and died.
Xu Ji's bow and Chen's shot made Liu He and all the people on his side feel like they were in the ice cellar. On the other hand, looking at the Yanzhou Army, Xu Ji and Chen Zhi's miraculous performances greatly boosted the morale of the Yanzhou Army. Although there was no thunder, there was still silence, but in that silence, the murderous aura increased exponentially.
Tian Chou knew the art of war and knew that if Xu Ji ordered to attack his army at this time. It must be a situation where there is defeat and no victory, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted to Xu Ji: "General Xu." Why do you kill people at will? Is there anything wrong with our army? Xu Ji looked at Tian Chou and shouted: "Mr. Tian Chou, if you asked what you said just now, I, Xu Ji, will definitely answer it well." But what kind of Micha is the person who was questioned just now? In the land of my Han Youzhou, what qualifications does this dog thief of the grassland alien race have to talk to me? Of course I'm going to shoot him! Foreigners who have invaded the frontier of our Han Dynasty at will. Not qualified to speak in front of me. ”
Tian Chou smiled bitterly in his heart, forgetting that the other party was a person who hated the grassland alien race more than Gongsun Zhan. What's more. He is qualified to say such things, and he is a veritable colt of the Great Han.
And Xu Ji went out with the army, Yan Gang saw it in his eyes and shouted happily. There were many people in Liu He's army who could understand Chinese, so many people in Xu Ji's army could understand Xu Ji's words, but they did not become angry. On the contrary, there is an inexplicable fear.
Maybe it was Xu Ji's words, coupled with the amazing martial arts just now, that showed them a strong confidence that Xu Ji would not give up until he reached his goal, and everyone had this feeling: Don't open your mouth, once you open your mouth. The strong bow in Xu Jina's hand would immediately make him unable to open his mouth again. It is because of this realization. made Liu He's army's morale even lower.
Liu He knew that if he continued like this, then he wouldn't even have to fight, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said loudly: "General Xu! What are you looking for me Liu He to do today? You might as well say it bluntly, as long as I Liu He can help, I will definitely go all out!"
Xu Jixian whispered to Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, how long will it take for Gongsun Zhan's army to arrive?"
Chen Zhi said solemnly: "There is probably a little more than half a day." ”
Xu Ji nodded. Turning his head to Liu He, he said, "Liu He Gongzi, I came here today to borrow the big camp of Liu He Gongzi's land." ”
What the?
I'm afraid that some people, including Liu He, think that they have heard it wrong, and they are like a great enemy. I was nervous, for fear that the famous Yanzhou military god in front of me would make some excessive requests, who knew that Xu Ji only asked to occupy this camp? Did you hear it wrong? Or is there some conspiracy on this Xu Ji?
Xu Ji didn't have time to waste it with them, and said coldly: "Liu He Gongzi." It's not too hard for you, if you don't. Then I don't mind having my soldiers fetch it for me. ”
Although a camp and a war defeat seem insignificant, this Xu Ji is really too deceitful. It's just a bandit. Of course, Xu Ji has his reasons: come and not be rude, since the grassland alien race can be a robber. Why am I smiling at them? Of course, I can choose to face each other.
Thinking of this, Xu Ji raised his silver spear and shouted: "If you want to fight, come and fight!" ”
The Yanzhou army behind him immediately echoed: "If you want to fight, come and fight!" "If you want to fight, come and fight!" How dare Liu and the locals speak out? After the Yanzhou Jungao had drunk, Liu He turned his head and glanced at Yan Zhi and Tian Chou. The two nodded to Liu He helplessly, and both of them thought that it was absolutely not appropriate to turn their faces with Xu Ji today.
So Liu He ordered the withdrawal of the army and left the camp in front of Xu Ji behind.
Xu Ji looked at Liu He's cooperation and smiled: "Liu He Gongzi really knows how to be considerate, Xu Ji is very grateful, but I hope Liu He Gongzi will withdraw within half an hour, otherwise I don't know what these soldiers under my command will do." Liu He hated a lot in his heart, but at the moment he was really helpless, he had no choice but to speed up.
About half an hour later, Liu He led all his troops to retreat.
After a short time, Liu He's army disappeared into the distance and headed straight for Daijun.
Seeing that Liu He's army had gradually drifted away, Xu Ji looked at Chen Zhi beside him and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhi, you lead five thousand cavalry for me to start stepping on Liu He's empty camp in front of me, and if you can light a fire, you can light a fire, and make the movement a little bigger for me!" Chen Zhi said in a deep voice: "Chen Zhi knows!" ”
Chen Zhi immediately ordered to personally lead 5,000 cavalry to begin to "attack" Liu He's empty camp. All of a sudden, the sound of killing shook the sky.
And how did Xu Ji lead five thousand men and horses behind the back hall, and pay attention to the army of Gongsun Zhan who might come at any time in the back.
Chen Zhi led the cavalry to play here. I also found that there were a lot of war horses in the camp of Liu Hedi, probably superfluous war horses, after all, the habit of the grassland alien race is to prepare more war horses to be prepared. Of course, this was already expected by Xu Ji and Chen Zhi.
The reason why Xu Ji wanted Liu He to leave within half an hour was to calculate that the other party would leave a large number of war horses because of the rush of time.
After all, if you want to deceive Gongsun Zan to chase with all his might, it is not enough to do without these war horses, not after fighting in Liu He's camp for half a day. In fact, the two sides did not flee because of the casualties of the knights. Under the organization of Chen Zhi. The cavalry of Yanzhou began to drive these horses to one place, and then began to stab the horses in large numbers, causing the frightened horses to scatter and flee.
Of course. Most of those war horses were under the control of the Yanzhou cavalry and rushed in the direction of Gongsun Zhan's new army.
Not to mention that the Yanzhou army is vigorously "messing around" here, just say that Liu He led the army to retreat. Soon after the march, a leader of the Xianbei cavalry came to Liu He's side from his horse and said to Liu He in a deep voice: "Liu He Gongzi, our Xianbei cavalry is preparing to return to our own tribe, and we can't help Liu He Gongzi to take revenge." "The man who spoke was richly dressed, brightly armoured, and had an extraordinary bearing. It is obviously a nobleman among the Xianbei people.
Liu He's color immediately changed when he heard this.
Yan Zhi drank Tian Chou's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he glanced at each other, what they were worried about finally happened: because of Xu Ji. This made these steppe alien cavalry angry, if it were not for their help. It is simply unthinkable to avenge Liu Yu on his own strength. Xian Yufu's face showed displeasure and said, "Putou, what do you mean by this?" These days, where has Liu and Gongzi treated you badly? ”
Pu Tou glanced at Xian Yufu and said: "Our Xianbei warriors are because they accepted Mr. Yan Zhi's invitation, so they sent troops to help Liu He Gongzi, and when Lord Liu Yu was alive, we have always been courteous to us Xianbei, and we have always been grateful to Lord Liu Yu, so we want to kill Gongsun Chan to avenge Lord Liu Yu." And we always thought that after killing Gongsun Zhan, Liu Hegongzi was the lord of Youzhou. And I am convinced that Liu He Gongzi will uphold Lord Liu Yu's policy and be friendly with me Xianbei, but who knows that after seeing Xu Ji today, we know that our thoughts are wishful thinking. There was a pause. Pu Tou said in a deep voice: "Xu Ji's hatred for my grassland alien race is no less than that of Gongsun Zhan, and even more so, and Liu Hegongzi's attitude is really **." In the face of Xu Ji's aggressiveness, he was powerless to fight back, or he was saying that in Liu Hegongzi's heart, he didn't think Xu Ji was reasonable. In a word. Our warriors of the Xianbei tribe will not be insulted in this way, and I will bring my soldiers and the corpses of my two of my kindreds back to Xianbei. Xu Ji's attitude today is already the biggest insult to my Xianbei people, is it tolerable or unbearable? ”
Liu He wanted to say something, but Pu Tou said contemptuously: "The Han people are like this, they don't have a climate, and they bully the soft and fear the hard. We Xianbei people will not be in the same league as the Han people. Yan Zhiyan's face was extremely unhappy when he heard this, after all, these Xianbei people were brought by him, and now they left Liu He for no reason, it was really unreasonable, so he wanted to speak, but he saw Pu Tou raising the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Xianbei warriors, let's go back to our grassland and tell our people, saying that the Han people in Youzhou are going to war with us, how can we swallow this breath!?" ”
Those Xianbei people were originally holding their stomachs, but because they were suppressed by Xu Ji's momentum, they only vented until now: "Kill the Han dog!" Kill the Han Dog! Liu He was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
Yan Zhi's face immediately became so ugly.
Tian Chou's eyes also flashed with terrifying murderous intent, after all, Tian Chou and Yan Zhi were Han. In the face of Xianbei people barking like a Han dog and a Han dog, of course they were very angry.
Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and Qi Zhou also sneered, looking at Liu He with their eyes, as long as Liu He gave an order, they would attack him in groups and kill the Putou in front of them. As for the consequences, they don't care about anything. It's a pity that Liu He was already scared stupid, and he couldn't say a word with his lips trembling
Pu Tou glanced at Liu He contemptuously again and said, "Didn't Xu Ji say that he could avenge Mr. Liu He?" Then Mr. Liu He will go and invite Xu Ji! ”
Liu He was shocked and said: "General Putou, don't get me wrong, Liu He has no such intentions, I will never ask Xu Ji, don't you believe in our friendship?" Pu Tou didn't bother to answer, turned around and led all the Xianbei cavalry out of Liu He's army.
Nearly 20,000 people left at once.
At present, Liu He only has five or six thousand people in his hands, the Han army of Xian Yufu and others, and some small tribes, which are not many in number, and add up to seven or eight thousand steppe cavalry troops. The strength is greatly damaged.
Liu He was worried, but he didn't see the dissatisfaction in Tian Chou and Yan Zhi's eyes, they didn't expect this Liu He to be so spineless. really let Xu Ji be right, this Liu He actually did not hesitate to unconditionally lead a few alien races into the northern frontier of Youzhou for the sake of a little hatred.
Although those Xianbei soldiers were attracted by Yan Zhi, Yan Zhi would never take revenge on Liu He like this, and the other party would agree to any conditions.
Putou's words have made it very clear that Xianbei people need a Youzhou government close to Xianbei. This government can fulfill any wish of the Xianbei people.
As a Han Chinese, how can this be promised? Yan Zhi and Tian Chou were already deeply disappointed in Liu He.
Xian Yufu said to Liu He with a gloomy face: "Young master, let's go to Daijun first." ”
Liu He nodded and led the army away.
Xu Ji did not use a single soldier to greatly damage Liu He's strength, which can be regarded as a great gain.
However, Xu Ji didn't get this news, and his attention was now completely on Gongsun Zhan. As he wished, half an hour later, Gongsun Zhan's army slowly appeared on the distant horizon.
Xu Ji had already seen it, and his spirits were lifted, and he ordered his soldiers to prepare to attack Gongsun Zhan.
The Great War is coming! (To be continued......)
