Jiangbian Guo Ji had already sent someone to keep an eye on the military canal, this person was ordered by Zhang Xiu to be captured alive, everyone did not dare to be careless, and all the soldiers felt that just as Zhang Xiu said, it was only cheaper to let him be burned alive, and this person was cheap even if he was cut by a thousand knives. And last night, the two Hun soldiers died before they cut enough knives, and the soldiers still felt that it was not enough, and with the sins they committed, even if they killed a thousand more knives, it would not be too much.

Guo Huai saw Junqu riding his horse and fled to the side of the mountain wall, and said to a small colonel: "Put the long rope down." Let the army come up, and you will prepare, and when he comes up, you will catch him together. ”

When the crowd heard this, they replied loudly: "Yes"

The colonel who was ordered by Guo Huai immediately put down the long rope towards the military canal, and the military canal saw that there was a long rope in front of him. When he turned back and saw that the fire was about to burn, he could not care about anything else, so he immediately abandoned his horse and climbed along the long rope. Soon after he climbed the long rope, his war horse kept coming out of the "mournful" military canal and looked back. He saw that his horse had been swallowed up in flames.

Jun Qu knew that there was no way back, so he kept climbing up, and when he climbed up to the upper valley panting, Guo Huai immediately commanded the soldiers who had been prepared long ago to rush up and immediately restrained them with hemp ropes.

Jun Qu saw Guo Huai and knew that he had been defeated this time, and he was afraid that he would be killed. And he thought that the Han people generally did not kill those who surrendered in order to show etiquette, so he said in stiff Chinese: "Han people, I surrender." ”

Guo Huai smiled coldly and replied, "We will not accept the surrender of the beast!" The soldiers took the beast to the general and waited for the general to fall. ”

When Guo Huai escorted General Qu to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Nian stepped on Jun Qu's face and said, "For the time being, put this person in prison and order all the soldiers." An hour to think of a punishment against the man. But you must not kill him. Ten people who can't think of it think of it, and the whole army thinks of what ten people can't think of. There was an opportunity for the people of the upper county to come and watch this man be tortured. ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they responded in unison: "No,"

Seeing that Junqu was escorted down, Zhang Xiu said to Guo Huai: "Boji and bring a thousand people to clean up the battlefield here." The rest of the people followed Ben to the city of Fushi and captured the county guard. ”

Guo He and Chen Song heard it, and responded in unison: "No! ”

The plan has been decided, Zhang Xiu led the army to rush to the Shangjun Governor's Office of Fushi City, and finally rushed to the city of Fushi at sunset, but he saw that the banner on the city had been replaced by his own general banner at some point.

Chen Song can see it. Surprised: "Isn't it that the righteous brother has arrived?" As soon as Chen Song's words fell, he saw the city gate open, Tai Shici, Fa Zheng and Cao Xing walked out of the city together, Zhang Yu saw that he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, you are finally here." ”

Tai Shi Ci replied loudly: "The end will be late, please forgive the lord." After speaking, when he saw Chen Song next to Zhang Xiu, his face was slightly excited.

Zhang Xiu naturally knew what Tai Shici thought, so he smiled and said: "You gather the old things and go back to talk about it, how could Ziyi come so quickly, I thought you would arrive in two days." ”

Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "Actually, it's too late, Ci is still preparing to fight with the lord to attack the Huns besieging here, how do you know that the lord has already destroyed them." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it, looked at Fa Zheng who was smiling and silent next to him, and knew that Fa Zheng had guessed. Nodding. said: "The beast has been captured, and tomorrow the Japanese will be in front of all the people." Terminate the person. ”

Tai Shici heard this, and saw Zhang Xiu's murderous face again, and asked suspiciously: "Lord, what happened?" ”

Zhang Xiu briefly explained what had happened, and after the three of them listened, they scolded in unison: "This kind of beast must not cheapen him!" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded after listening, and Tai Shi Ci said again: "That Shangjun Taishou who only knows how to flatter can't let him go easily, Ci will go and arrest him now." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Why do you need Ziyi to do it yourself, just send a few soldiers, and I'll wait and enter the city first." Cao sex. Go and settle the army, and pacify the people.

Cao Xuan heard this, nodded and replied, "No!" ”

Zhang Xiu, Tai Shi Ci, Fa Zheng, and Chen Song went to the hall of the county Taishou Mansion to sit down, Zhang Xiu had become calm again at this time, and asked Tai Shi Ci: "Ziyi, what is the latest news about you coming from Chang'an?" ”

Tai Shici heard it and replied: "The Gaizhou side has stopped, and Xingba and Hansheng are stationed in Padang and Brazil respectively. Confront Yin Yan in Jiangzhou. Mr. Xiaozhi's dissension plan was also successful, Huang Quan kept attacking Zhang Ren in front of Liu Zhang, and even Wang Lei and others, who were close to Huang Quan, also attacked Zhang Ren. Although Zhang Song strongly supported Zhang Ren, Liu Zhangjian's Yizhou family no longer unanimously supported Zhang Ren, but made up his mind to remove all of Zhang Ren's positions and let him return to Chengdu.

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded slightly, and said: "Zhang Ren goes, only Yan Yan and Ling Bao are left to lead the army to confront our army, and these two people are more than enough to defend, so there is no need to worry." ”

Fa Zheng heard this, nodded and said, "What the lord said is true, but the war in the north must be resolved as soon as possible." After all, there is still Zhang Song in Shuzhong, who is Liu Zhangxi's strategist, and I don't know when he will persuade Liu Zhang to reactivate Zhang Ren. Zhang Xiu nodded after listening.

Tai Shi Ci continued: "When Ci left Chang'an, he also received news from some Liangzhou merchants from the Western Regions. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Ziyi, tell me carefully." Tai Shi Ci nodded.

Let's say that when Zhang Xiu's army came out of Chang'an, Hao Zhao led 15,000 Western Regions coalition troops and 5,000 Han troops to the east of the Tianshan Pass. Western Xianbei wants to enter the Western Regions from the prairie, and the nearest road is through the Fushan Mountain Range, and then you can directly enter the hinterland of the Western Regions. If you go to Liangzhou, you will have to face the defense of Zhang Xiuliangzhou's corps on the Great Wall, and you will have to pass through the Yumen Pass. Multi-layered defense is not as fast as walking through the Tianshan Mountains.

However, although the Tianshan Mountains are wide, Xianbei in the Western Regions can attack Yiwu, Gaochang and other places. Because the place to the west is the expelled Northern Xiongnu and Wusun, the strength of Xianzhuo in the west at this time is not as good as it was back then, and the Northern Xiongnu have been recuperating for several years after being expelled to the west, and their power has also recovered a lot. Although the Northern Xiongnu also suffered losses due to the heavy snow last year, it was far less than the four places of Xianbei in the central part of the country, Xianbei in the west, and Liangzhou under the rule of the Southern Xiongnu and Zhang Xiu, which were the hardest-hit areas, so the western Xianbei did not dare to provoke the Northern Xiongnu rashly at this time.

Although Hao Zhao came to the Western Regions for only a few years, he was very interested in the situation of the countries within the Western Regions and the relatively powerful western Xianbei and Northern Xiongnu in the north. and the situation of Wusun, Yanbi, Guishan and other countries in the west are well known, and it is expected early in the morning that the west is rarely aware of the mountain passes in the east of Tianliao and go out of the western regions to attack Yiwu. In this way, the connection between the Western Regions and Liangzhou can be severed, and it can be looted in the Western Regions.

In the east of the Tianshan Pass, Hao Zhao led the army to lie in ambush on the mountain road that must be passed to enter the Western Regions.

Pu Nu, the general of Du Shanguo, asked Hao Zhao in Chinese, who was not too fluent: "Du Protector, can we win this time?" Those Xianbei people were like wolves and tigers, and they often came to the Western Regions to plunder in the past. We couldn't help them with a few hundred of them, and now they have sixty thousand! At this, Punu had a frightened look in his eyes.

Hao Zhao said calmly: "Don't worry, although they have 60,000 people, we also have 20,000 unions, and the envoy of Pontus has already asked the general for help, I believe that there will be a large army to support us soon." ”

Punu was relieved to hear that a large army was coming to support. Seeing this, Hao Zhao was also worried that these people from the Western Regions would be too afraid and exposed, so he advised: "You don't have to worry, just listen to the command of Bendu's escort, and you will definitely be able to defeat those Xianbei people." Punu listened, but only absentmindedly

Head.

Time passed day by day, and when Hao Zhao's army was ambushed here for five days, a Han army scout finally sent back the news that the Xianbei army would pass through here in half an hour, and as long as it passed here, there would be no danger to defend the countries of the Western Regions.

Hao Zhao obviously saw that the so-called generals of these small countries were extremely familiar when they heard the news, so he called them around one by one and scolded: "What are you afraid of, Xianbei people don't have three heads and six arms. It's not like we all have two eyes. Two ears and one nose, you only need to listen to the orders of the Pontus Protector when you arrive, and when you see the Pontus Protector here to attack, you will follow the attack, that is, throw all the rolling logs and blessing stones down and then keep releasing the arrows, don't be afraid! ”

The generals of the Western Regions countries heard this, and nodded helplessly, the only thing they could rely on now was Hao Zhao, so they responded a few times and turned back to their respective ambush places.

Half an hour later, a roar like thunder on a dry day in vain in the middle of summer came from afar. Hao Zhao, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, knew that this was the sound of a war horse galloping, the blood that had been cooled in his body for several years was flowing, and his heart was beating vigorously "bang bang", making the hot blood rush to his head, and a trace of flush rose on his face. Unlike Hao Zhao's excitement, the generals of the Western Regions were already frightened at this time, and some of them were muttering and praying for the blessing of the gods they believed in. How could they have heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping, plus the Xianbei cavalry galloping through the valley road, and on both sides were towering mountain peaks. The stirred echo made the sound of ten thousand horses galloping several times in vain, and became more majestic.

"It's close!" As small black dots began to appear, Hao Zhao clenched the big bow in his hand. The arrows are on board, ready to be fired.

The place Hao Zhao chose to ambush was the narrowest part of the valley road. As long as you put down the boulder, you can easily block the valley road and catch turtles in an urn.

"It's coming!" The original small black dot has been magnified countless times at this time, and the torrent of Xianbei Iron Riding has been displayed in front of everyone, Hao Zhao can see it, his eyes are full of eagerness, and his hand is more tightly gripped. As long as the front of the Xianbei army passed where he was, Du Zhao could attack the Chinese army of the Xianbei Iron Cavalry.

The first hundred horsemen in front of the Xianbei Iron Cavalry had already crossed the place where Hao Zhao had passed, and Hao Zhao's face had a smile that would have been shown before victory. But the next moment, Hao Zhao's smile disappeared completely, and his face was covered with frost.

"Bar"

A sharp arrow flew out from Hao Zhao's side and struck the Xianbei Iron Cavalry passing below. This sharp arrow was like a signal, and the soldiers of the countries in the Western Regions on both sides immediately loosened their hands and clasped the sharp arrow.

"Woohoo"

Sharp arrows flew out, followed by rolling logs and rocks that were pushed down the mountain. The Xianbei Iron Cavalry below was suddenly ambushed and immediately shocked. Confusion ensued.

Hao Zhao was in no mood at this time. He kicked Punu next to him to the ground and scolded, "You bastard! Who told you to release your arrows! The losses of the countries of the Western Regions this time are all caused by your shortfall!.

When Punu heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Hao Zhao, hugged Hao Zhao's legs and kowtowed. Hao Zhao kicked it away again. Shouted and scolded: "Get out of here! Don't stop Lao Tzu from killing the enemy! After speaking, he shot the sharp arrow in his hand, and the sharp arrow brought a whistling sound, and shot into the throat of a thousand commanders who were commanding the Xianbei army in front of him with a lightning speed.

At this time, Hao Zhao was in no mood to hold him accountable. The reality is like this, and only by killing a few more enemies can we better protect the countries of the Western Regions. I only heard Hao Zhao shouting: "Quick! Put boulders to block the valley road! The rest of the people rushed to the front and threw down the rolling logs and stones! What are you afraid of! The enemy's bow and arrow can't shoot up! Come on! ”

With Hao Zhao's command, the Han army vehicles immediately obeyed the order, only to hear a loud "boom" from the rear, and then heard a miserable scream. Hao Zhao didn't need to look to know that the boulder had been lowered. The worries in my heart have been relieved a lot, but this boulder can stop the Xianbei army for a few days.

Without worries, Du Zhao commanded loudly: "Quick! Shoot the arrows! Roll the wood, follow the stone! ”

The sharp arrows that kept flying out were intertwined into a rain of arrows and flew down, and the rolling logs and stepping stones were also pushed down the valley. I have to say that the ambush location chosen by Hao Zhao is excellent, the army is ambushed on the mountainside on both sides, and the Xianzhuo army below can't attack it. And the terrain here is narrow. The Xianbei army was huddled together, making the Western Regions Alliance more efficient at killing the enemy.

However, this time, the commander of the Xianbei army in the west reacted quickly, and when he saw that his army could not attack the enemy on the mountain at all, he immediately ordered the Xianbei army to retreat. Although the decisiveness of the Xianbei commander made the Xianbei army lose a lot of losses due to trampling on each other when retreating, it also saved most of the troops.

After all, the Xianbei army is on horseback, and the leading troops of the Western Regions led by Hao Zhao are all foot soldiers, and they can't catch up with the Xianbei army if they want to retreat, so they can only kill as many enemies as possible under the command of Du Zhao.

In the end, the Western Xianbei left more than 8,000 people here to escape, and none of the Western Regions Coalition troops died, only a few unlucky people fell to the ground and bruised. This result is definitely a big victory. While the Western Regions Alliance was vying to celebrate, Hao Zhao's face became extremely ugly.
