The raging fire in the gourd valley blocked Zhang Ju and the five thousand cavalry led by him, Zhang Ju and the others were panicked when they saw the fire in front of them, and someone shouted: "My lord, we are in ambush." ”

"Send someone to rush forward for me and see if I can find a way."

Boom, more than a dozen cavalry rushed over, and before they could reach the place where the fire started, they turned back: "My lord, no, the fire in front is too fierce, and you can't get close at all." ”

"Look at the situation in the rear, can't you get out?"

At this time, a leader rushed from the rear, and when he heard this, he replied in a panic: "The fire behind is the same, and we can't get close at all, my lord, we have no way out." ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd was even more mournful, and everyone understood that it was over.

In a panic, Zhang Ju had not made any decision, only heard another "boom" of cannons, the sound of the cannons was about to linger, and thousands of arrows were fired in the dense forests on the slopes on both sides, and Zhang Ju's cavalry team was planted one by one. Before most of Zhang Ju's cavalry could react, another round of arrows followed, and the Wuhuan cavalry dismounted one by one like harvesting wheat.

The empty horse's war horse scurried in the valley, and the Zhang Ju cavalry who disturbed it was also panicked, fleeing in all directions, but there was no place to escape, the mountains on both sides did not go, and the only escape route was filled with fire, some cavalry ran to this end and saw that they did not turn the horse's head and ran back, and in this panic, the cavalry of Zhang Ju was reduced one by one, and the originally dense cavalry in the valley was already sparse.

Are there any smart cavalrymen? Yes, of course, seeing that riding on horses became arrow targets, some cavalrymen simply dismounted and lay on the ground to avoid the rain of arrows, and survived for a short time, hoping to gain a glimmer of life.

It was almost a one-sided slaughter, more than 10,000 people on both sides of the valley fired a salvo, and the five thousand cavalry in the valley really did not resist the slaughter, and there were few rounds of arrows left, leaving empty mounts everywhere.

"Boom" a cannon sounded, and dense soldiers rushed out on both sides of the valley, and began to advance along the perimeter to the inside, the pikemen were in front, and when they saw the enemy's big guns sent forward, they didn't care whether they were dead or alive, there were dead rebels, there were wounded rebels, and there were also those lying on the ground to avoid bows and arrows. It doesn't matter which one you are, it's an assassination anyway. More than 10,000 people, and in a short time the whole valley turned over and over again, paralyzing the real slaughter. Even if you don't die and want to resist, is it useful? It's all the same thing.

The fire was still burning, the army began to clean up the battlefield, and the soldiers successively transported the corpses to the hillside where the fire was ignited, and threw the corpses down the hillside to the fire, and the whole valley became an incineration plant.

There are very few war horses killed, and the biggest gain of this battle is that there are nearly 5,000 more war horses out of thin air, and the harvest is definitely not small!

The soldiers found Zhang Ju in a dead body, cut off the head and cleaned it up, Zhang Ju and others, the rebels who had been rampant in Youzhou for many years in the original history, closed the curtain in advance, and buried them with those Wuhuan rebels.

On the day when Zhao Yun led the army to ambush Zhang Ju, Liu Zhuo was seeing off Xiaohuangmen from Luoyang. The luncheon was very rich, and the little yellow door Mo Yang was also staggering. It's a pleasure to come to Youzhou this time, Liu Zhuo from Youzhou is very good at coming to things, he didn't wronged himself at all, he ate haode and drank haode, and he gave some good things before leaving, no, there is a long list of big carriages on the avenue, all of which are precious gifts!

Liu Zhuo was saying goodbye to Mo Yang of the Little Yellow Gate, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a cavalry galloped towards him and gradually slowed down. The soldier who came turned over and dismounted: "Report, general, there is a battle report from the front, and the traitor Zhang Chun has given the head." ”

"Well, the good news, it came in time, just in time to send the head to Luoyang to report the good news to the Son of Heaven."

Xiaohuangmen Mo Yang took over Zhang Chun's head and placed it, turned back to Liu Zhuo and said: "Congratulations to the general for another great achievement, the general is really the first god general of the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven will be overjoyed when he knows it." ”

"Hehe, it's all the soldiers in front who are struggling to kill the enemy, and the first battle flag of Youzhou is victorious."

"It is one thing for the soldiers in front to fight, and it is the real wisdom of the generals to lead the troops in a good way. If you want to exterminate the rebels of the Yellow Turban Army back then, there is no general in the entire Han Dynasty who can compare, hehe, General Liu must not be modest, the Son of Heaven knows it, and the ministers of the court also know it. ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm just entrusting the Son of Heaven with the blessing."

If there is no nutrition, he nagged for a long time that Mo Yang of the little yellow door set off and went west in a carriage.

In fact, Zhang Chun had already been eliminated before Xiaohuangmen Moyang came to Youzhou, and now he is pretending to lie that he has just been annihilated, obviously intentionally.

Yes, this thief did it on purpose, Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju rebelled, Youzhou just began to send troops to suppress it not long ago, if it was too easy, wouldn't it give people the feeling that these rebels were vulnerable?

Liu Zhuo can't leave such an impression on them, winning a battle is one thing, as for the rhythm of reporting good news to the court, he must master the rhythm and proportion, and he must choose the right time to report his military exploits to the court, and he must not report the results of the battle after the battle.

This is a thief, now not only Zhang Chun has been eliminated, but even Zhang Ju will be eliminated immediately, and the whole process is under control. Do you have to report all this to the court immediately? A fool would do this kind of thing, so drag it down slowly, and report to the court when Liu Zhuo thinks it is appropriate.

Sent away Luoyang's Xiaohuangmen Moyang, and Liu Zhuo returned to the General's Mansion. In the evening, news came from the front bombing battlefield, Zhang Ju and all the soldiers and horses of the 15,000 people led by it were all annihilated, so far, the fire is still burning, and the entire battlefield is blocked for more than ten miles, and the news will definitely not be leaked.

Did not a man escape? Didn't Zhang Ju's 15,000 soldiers and horses fall behind? Even if one of them slips through the net, there may be news, don't forget, Zhang Ju is also followed by Chen Zhi's eight hundred cavalry, one of their tasks is to hold Zhang Ju's tail, it is impossible to miss a traitor.

When discussing the battle before the war, Liu Zhuo instructed him to eliminate them all cleanly, and not to have a trace of loopholes, and not to allow any fish to slip through the net.

How does Weishenme want to control the message in this way? On the one hand, it is to avoid giving the court the illusion that this group of traitors is very weak and can be easily eliminated, so that Liu Zhuo's merits are greatly reduced. The second is that the iron cavalry of Qiu Liju, the lord of Wuhuan, has not been eliminated yet, and it is still on the way, won't the leakage of the news scare away Qiu Liju's Wuhuan cavalry?

Eliminating Qiu Liju is the most crucial step, wouldn't it be troublesome if he was allowed to get the news? It was not easy to seize this opportunity, and with a very haode excuse to destroy Wuhuan, how could he turn into nothing like this.

Therefore, the blockade of the news is very important for the entire campaign in Youzhou, this is a problem involving the overall situation, if it is not handled well, it may cause Liu Zhuo's entire jihua to only be executed to half, that is, the current situation, it will be in vain Liu Zhuo's efforts, Liu Zhuo has invested great energy and material resources in this battle, for this reason, he has been preparing for several years, which can be described as deliberate!
