Chapter 243

The summer in Gaoque Prefecture in Anbei is much cooler than the summer in Beijing. [Full text reading. 】

The ladies of the Gaomen of the Great Wei Jingshi all wore gauze clothes and skirts, and the small fans fluttered under the moon, but the middle of the night in Gaoque Prefecture was a little cool, and it took two or three single clothes to resist the invasion of the cold.

Zhou Hong and a group of soldiers ambushed the rebels in Luming Valley and hid in the wild trees and grass. Zhou Hao has a mosquito-attracting physique, lying in the grass for most of the day, seventeen or eighteen bags have emerged on his exposed skin, and he can't wait to light a handful of wormwood to smoke mosquitoes.

Just when Zhou Hao was fighting with the mosquito bag with all his willpower, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the valley mouth, and there were about thousands of people listening to the movement.

Zhou Hong made a gesture, and the soldiers held their breath and calmed down, and the arrows were ready to wait for the rebels to enter the valley.

Over the years, Xiao Wei has put a lot of effort into Anbei, he has made a lot of profits from selling illicit salt, and he has no mercy in throwing money into various departments in Anbei, and he has a tight grasp of the lifeblood of salt in various departments in Anbei.

After Xiao Wei was beheaded, the various departments in Anbei mutinied, and after the imperial court got the report, they had to send troops to clean it up.

All ethnic groups in Anbei gathered, the people were unruly, and it was common for various departments to loot and grab territory from time to time, and the internal fighting not only did not consume Anbei's troops, but because of Xiao Ye's support over the years, the various departments were fully armed and had no danger of survival.

After Zhou Hong came to Anbei, after half a year of hard fighting, he gradually figured out the strength of the various departments in Anbei, and implemented the strategic policy of each breakthrough, and gradually controlled the situation.

At the same time, he also beheaded two generals in the army who disobeyed the command, and after dozens of large and small battles, he finally sharpened the counterinsurgency army and achieved the order and prohibition.

Today's ambush is the elite of the Haqi tribe in Anbei, the imperial army came to clear the rebellion, the materials in Anbei are in short supply, the Haqi tribe is prosperous, the combat power is strong, the cattle and sheep and horses have a large area of pasture in summer, but the food is not enough.

The Haqi tribe was short of food, so the leader Haqi Na discussed with his subordinates that it would be better to go to the Hezhen tribe to "borrow grain and grass", and obtained the unanimous consent of the tribes.

Anbei is a magical land, there are not only tribes who specialize in grazing for a living, but also tribes who specialize in semi-agriculture and semi-pastoralism, and more tribes who specialize in trading for a living.

The Haqi people have always lived nomadically, but the Hezhe people are half-farming and half-herding. It is said that the Hezhe people were also nomadic for a living, descended to the previous dynasty, the emperor of the former dynasty assigned a fertile land in Gaoque Prefecture in Anbei to the army, and sent officials who were good at farming in the court to Gaoque Prefecture to guide the Hezhe people to practice farming.

The Haqi people passed through the Luming Valley, and Chen Bing Hezhe lived in it, and bluntly said that he borrowed grain, and the Hezhe people who led him scolded where to borrow grain, which was clearly a grain grab, and there was no return for borrowing!

Living in the Anbei grassland, the Hezhe tribe is also skilled in bows and horses, and rejected the Haqi tribe on the spot, and the two tribes tore their faces and beat each other. The Haqi tribe went out of the elite of the whole clan on this trip, and caught the Hezhe tribe off guard, grabbed some of the grain and grass women, and returned with a full load.

Zhou Hong paid close attention to the movements between the tribes in Anbei, heard the scout coming, and then led the troops to ambush in the place where the Haqi tribe must pass through the tribe, and so the Haqi tribe drove the captive woman into the Luming Valley, and most of the captives in the first place had gone out of the valley, and the valley was full of young and strong elites of the Haqi tribe......

The ambush battle, which lasted two hours, began to clean up the battlefield.

At the beginning of the war, the women of the Hezhe tribe, who had been captured by the Haqi tribe, scattered and fled in all directions, hiding in the deep forests in the mountains, and soon the Luming Valley was in shambles.

Luming Valley is gourd-shaped and has a narrow entrance. The Haqi people come in through the mouth of the gourd, and if there is no accident, they will go out through the bottom of the gourd. However, the counterinsurgency army led by Zhou Hong blocked the entrance and exit, outflanked the Haqi tribe into the gourd, first used mountain stones to roll wood, then used arrow arrays, and finally killed in hand-to-hand combat, this battle caused more than half of the young and strong elites of the Haqi tribe to be killed.

Zhou Hao led people to clean up the battlefield, and suddenly heard Liang Jin shouting excitedly: "Brother Hao, come and see"

Zhou Hongcha was with him, so he went over together, and looked into the carriage, but saw that the carriage overturned, the curtain was open, and a strong middle-aged man inside was wearing his upper body, his neck was at a strange angle, and his eyebrows were staring at the sky, which was a dead look.

There was a girl pressed under the man's body, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he could only see half of his snow-white chest when his shirt was open, his eyes were closed, and there were five red fingerprints on his face, and his expression was painful
