Pinggu County, Yuyang County, Youzhou.

Last year, Xianbei Shan entered Kouyuyang County in a big way, but Pinggu County was spared.

It is only because it is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is not on the route of the march south to Quanzhou.

At that time, the Xianbei people devoted themselves to the salt and iron of Yuyang, and focused their main energy on Yuyang City and Quanzhou, which produced iron, and paid no attention to Pinggu County, which was mediocre and deviated from the direction.

But the good fortune of last year did not continue, and a Xianbei cavalry army suddenly entered the Kou, and after breaking through Fuxi County, they went straight here.

The Pinggu County Commander and the County Cheng, who were tied up in the county office, only understood at this time that the Xianbei people came straight this time, and it turned out that they had already contacted Neiying.

Zhang Qun hurriedly walked into the county office, looked at the two former bosses, and then gestured to Qiu Liju, who was sitting in the hall, and then pulled out his sword and stabbed the two to death.

Not only the county commander and the county magistrate, but all the officials and scholars in Pinggu City were slaughtered, and only those illiterate commoners survived.

Of course, it is not easier for them to live than to die, and this time the Hu people are unusual, and are ready to take all the young men and children among them as trophies......

Soon, the county seat of Pinggu turned into an empty city, leaving only some old men in ragged clothes to weep alone in their dilapidated and empty houses.

The reason why Zhang Qun and Qiu Liju did this is actually very complicated.

The robbery of money, grain, goods, and the abduction of labor were secondary, and the fact that Pinggu City was breached with the cooperation of Zhang Qun, the head of the city gate, was one of them.

In addition to being a tun chief of Pinggu County, Zhang Qun is also a subordinate of Zhang Chun, the commander of Yuyang, so for Zhang Chun's next plan, he must not be exposed.

After taking the initiative to open the door to dedicate the city, he and his cronies changed into the clothes of the Xianbei people and entered with the Hu people who broke the city.

Exterminating the three major families of Yimen, Gongsun, and Xu in Pinggu County is the second.

These three families not only control most of the fields, shops, and people in Pinggu County, but more importantly, they marry and support each other, and they are one of the more hostile Shi clan forces in Yuyang County in recent years.

After destroying the three families, the Xianyu clan will secretly send people to seize their sphere of influence.

Even if the main branch of the Yimen clan and the Gongsun clan may come to fight, their strength was seriously damaged in the Xianbei ransack last year, and it is indeed not easy to compete with the powerful Xianyu clan.

————

Qiu Liju looked at Zhang Luo before and after Zhang Qun's hard work, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

If he knew that he had great power in another plane, he would have scolded Sandalwood Huai.

Because the powerful Wuhuan tribe in another time and space has been scattered into countless small tribes under the continuous attack and plunder of Tanshi Huai, and its strength has been greatly weakened.

And he, Lord Wuhuan, is also unworthy of his name.

In recent years, Qiu Liju and his subordinates have struggled to survive near the border fortress in western Liaoning, and he never thought of entering the Kouhan soil, and even befriending Zhang Chun was only for self-preservation.

The reason is very simple, the military strength under his actual control is too small, the current cavalry of 4,000 people, of which nearly 3,000 cavalry are all the young and strong in his clan, and more than 1,000 cavalry are pretended to be soldiers sent by Zhang Chun......

Of course, it's not pretending to be Wuhuan people, everyone is pretending to be Xianbei people this time.

With this bit of strength, it is difficult to protect yourself, let alone provoke others.

Who knew that Zhang Chun sent someone to find him and asked him to cooperate with the troops to enter the Kouhan land and play a good show with himself!

Through his own internal response, Qiu Liju could take Pinggu City without much effort, and then quickly retreat with the spoils of war.

When they withdraw from the side stop, Zhang Chun will lead his troops to chase after them, and then Qiu Liju will only have to feign defeat.

In this way, Qiu Liju can get a lot of goods and people, and Zhang Chun not only cleans up the internal opponents, but also gets a lot of military exploits.

This is Zhang Chun's plan.

After that, Zhang Chun also promised to help Qiu Liju integrate the scattered Wuhuan departments.

Such a perfect plan, Qiu Liju didn't dare to agree at first, he was scared by the Xianbei people, if he rashly pretended to be a Xianbei person to rob the Han land, what if he was targeted by Tanshi Huai.

But then came Zhang Chun's threat, if he didn't cooperate, Zhang Chun would really contact the Xianbei people, hand over his tribal address, and let the Wuhuan people under his leadership become the bait for the Xianbei people to grow again.

In desperation, Qiu Liju had to agree to send troops, and the war seems to be going smoothly so far.

Everything was so beautiful, but Qiu Liju was faintly uneasy in his heart, and even he didn't know what was worrying about it......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dongye County, Huiji County, Yangzhou.

Xie Heng and others, who were fighting with the thieves, had just gained the advantage to repel the thieves, and were about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but they heard the sound of gold in the middle of the army, and had no choice but to lead the army to return from the battle, and all the generals were shocked when they returned.

Yu Ze, the actual commander who led them all the way to victory, Yu Ze, the head of the Yu clan at the head of the Huiji clan, suddenly disappeared mysteriously!

And the sentry reported that a large number of Yue people were slowly approaching them in the rear.

Xie Heng was shocked and didn't have time to blame Yu Ze for escaping, so he urgently ordered the scouts to investigate the flank situation and prepare to evacuate in another direction.

The scouts who could return brought back the news that everyone was like falling into an ice cellar, and they had been besieged by tens of thousands of Yue people!

Xie Heng suddenly had some brain hypoxia, if he was now in Dongye City, relying on the only remaining 3,000 foot soldiers under his command, he would not be afraid of the large number of Yue people, but in order to lure the thieves, Yu Ze not only let the soldiers ambush in the barren mountains, but even the camp was not set up......

And when he heard that the Yue people suddenly appeared, this hateful Yu Ze left the county soldiers and fled without saying a word, which was extremely shameless!

Xie Heng is not a general, only because he has roughly read some military books, and he is the descendant of the four major surnames of Huiji, Xie is able to achieve this position as a captain.

Now that he knows that he is facing a desperate situation, he has long lost his usual sense of proportion, and seeing his subordinates all casting anxious inquiring glances, Xie Heng said tremblingly:

"In that case, it is better to ...... early"

"Captain, no! At this time, there is no way out, we can wait for the direction of the retreat of the thieves in Yanchang, and then turn to the north after passing the valley in front, and we will be able to escape from the encirclement of the Yue people, and the lower officials are willing to kill the bloody road for the vanguard! ”

Before Xie Heng could say the word descent, he was interrupted by the pioneer Zhou Junhou, who then made a suggestion.

Xie Heng seemed to have a life-saving straw in an instant when he heard this, temporarily swallowed the idea of surrendering and begging, and ordered the whole army to immediately act according to Zhou Junhou's words......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just when Xie Heng and the county soldiers were panicking, Yu Ze and more than 20 cronies had already escaped from the encirclement of the Yue people.

With nearly an hour's advance, coupled with the decisive choice to flee north, they finally caught up with the barbarian soldiers.

Seeing a large number of scantily clad Yue people behind them walking backwards, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Yu Ze was still a little uneasy in his heart.

For abandoning Xie Heng and others, Yu Ze has no baggage, as long as he can return to the clan alive, how can he say that he still relies on his own mouth......

What he was really worried about was the strange behavior of the Yue people, these uneducated barbarians actually knew how to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and suddenly appeared when they saw the county soldiers and the Chang thieves fighting and losing both.

And as soon as it appears, it will be a critical place, and all the retreats of the county soldiers will be blocked!

This is extremely counterintuitive......

Yu Ze smelled a strong smell of conspiracy from it, but he couldn't guess who was behind it.

"Everyone quickly take off their armor, throw away their weapons, and then return north with me!"
