Chapter 133: Preparing to Return
Yili Town is northwest and has not retreated for ten years.
The iron armor is wrapped in dry bones, and it is difficult to describe the bitterness and sorrow.
There are people who like war, like the warmongers, who want to extract the purest profit from war.
Some people don't like war, such as the common people, and when war is combined, taxes are multiplied, and food prices will continue to rise.
It would be easy to say that the war was relatively short, but in this era, as long as the war is started, it is at least one year, and if it is long, it is possible to do it for ten or eight years.
But who knows how many people have frozen to death and starved to death in these ten years because they have no food to eat and no clothes?
Chu Yujia doesn't like war, he doesn't like rights, he has said more than once in front of Zhao Kuan that all he wants is to take his wife and children to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion, and his wife and children live on the kang every day.
But he can't just do it, or rather, he has jumped out of the circle, but he has jumped back again.
Just like Meng Feihang said: "Since you can't get out of this circle, then let's break this circle, if you break this circle, you will naturally be an outsider." ”
The screams in the camp continued from midnight until the next day, and the sky was white, and there were still screams.
The elderly, the children, the women, without exception, were all killed.
Either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, it's a war of extermination.
Chu Yujia didn't have any mercy for these people.
In other words, these people can no longer be regarded as human beings in his eyes.
To put it in the simplest words, when the desert cavalry entered Shuiyun County, weren't the people of Shuiyun County just like them?
But do they show mercy to the people of Shuiyun County?
Didn't the people of Shuiyun County beg them not to kill their children, women, and old women?
For the Northwest Light Cavalry, the elimination of this tribe is not the end, it is just the beginning.
Chu Yujia wants everyone to know that as long as the Chu family is not destroyed, the Northwest Army will not be destroyed, and the Northwest Army will not be destroyed, and no one in this world can go to Ye Country to do evil, and no one can ride on Ye Guo's neck to.
Chu Yujia also wants everyone in the world to know that as long as he annoys the Ye people, no matter who he is, he will have to pay the price.
Since you choose to be the enemy of the Ye people, you must be prepared to bear the wrath of the Ye people.
Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, rivers of blood, hell on earth......
This is war......
In Yueling City, the eldest son's mansion.
It's early summer, and it's the most pleasant time in the northwest.
Zhao Kuan, who came back from the royal court, took off his court clothes with the assistance of his wife Liu Congyang.
Seeing Liu Congyang hanging his clothes on the hanger, Zhao Kuan stretched out comfortably and said softly: "When Chu Yujia arrives in the northwest, he is like a fish in water. ”
"Oh?"
Liu Congyang raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and asked, "Why did the husband say that?"
After he arrived in the northwest, he not only killed the desert barbarian soldiers in the territory, but also made the officialdom into a miasma. ”
Zhao Kuan shook his head and smiled: "On the first day of entering Tongquan Mansion, this kid cut off the head of Shao Liangping, the former county guard who should have been sent back, and hung it on the city. ”
"Why?"
"Embezzlement. ”
Zhao Kuan's smile stopped, his eyes became sharp, and he said: "When I saw the report, not to mention my father, even I thought it was fake, after all, who would have thought that in such a place as Shuiyun County, where the land is barren and the people are poor, the officials can actually collect tens of millions of taels of silver." ”
But those things were indeed found from Shao Liangping's mansion, and according to the report that Yu Jia passed back, the people of Shuiyun County were forced to sell their sons and daughters because of the scourge of the barbarian soldiers, and they had no food. ”
Zhao Kuan sneered and said, "Now in this Yeguo officialdom, there should really be a few more characters like Chu Yujia, otherwise these people will never stop." ”
"There is only one general Chu, and there is only one person you can trust. ”
Liu Congyang chuckled, hung up his clothes and sat beside Zhao Kuan, and said: "The reason why General Chu dares to do this is because he is protected by his husband, he knows that no matter what he does, as long as he gives his husband enough reasons to prove that he must do it, his husband will not blame him." ”
"That's right. ”
Zhao Kuan nodded and said, "Until now, it seems that he has done a lot of ridiculous things, but in fact, he has never done anything to hurt my Ye country, which may be what makes him different." ”
"Isn't it because of his difference that the husband values him so much?"
"That's not important. ”
Zhao Kuan's gaze was deep: "He is my brother......"
Looking at Zhao Kuan's appearance, Liu Congyang wanted to speak and stopped, and swallowed the words that were about to blurt out back into his stomach.
It is said that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and that's because of their humble status.
But can a man be the supremacy of a king and do whatever he wants?
If this was the case, then the previous General Chu would not have died.
At this time, Zhao Kuan's personal guard ran in from the outside, went to the hall, bent down to salute, and said, "Son, madam." ”
Seeing him come in, Zhao Kuan raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "Speak!"
"Shi Laoba is here. ”
Hearing this name, Zhao Kuan stood up directly from the couch and asked, "Where is it?"
"Just waiting for Childe in the study. ”
"Take me there. ”
When Zhao Kuan came to the study, there was a man in the costume of a common man standing in the hall.
Zhao Kuan stepped forward and asked, "But there's news?"
"Hmm. ”
Shi Laoba whispered a few words close to Zhao Kuan's ear.
Zhao Kuan's expression changed constantly, and in the end, it just turned into a sneer, and said, "Sure enough." ”
Shi Laoba's face was full of worry, and he said, "Does the son have a countermeasure?"
Zhao Kuan pondered for a while, and said: "Don't tell anyone about this matter for the time being, you immediately ride a fast horse to Tongquan Mansion in the northwest to find General Chu, and be sure to tell him the news in person, understand?"
"Yes, Childe. ”
The words fell, and Shi Laoba turned around and walked out of the study.
Zhao Kuan stood alone in the study, his eyes were deep, and a cold light flashed from time to time, and after a long time, he also said: "Old thing, I still can't help it......"
Tongquan Mansion is thousands of miles away from the capital Yueling, even if it takes two to three days to arrive by riding a fast horse, Zhao Kuan sighed and said: "I hope your kid can deal with it faster, otherwise I won't be able to protect your wife and daughter......"
But he didn't know that Chu Yujia was not in Tongquan Mansion now, but had already led his troops into the depths of the desert, scurrying around on the vast grassland.
He has wiped out three tribes in a row along the way, and after the last battle, they got a map that is not perfect, although the map is not perfect, but at least the location of the tribes is marked, plus there is Qi Zhong's team to find out the news for them, and the extremely fast and amazing combat power of the Black Guard Battalion is constantly scouting ahead, this map is almost enough for them.
Looking at the unfolded map, Qi Zhong said: "Yesterday, the brothers below came back to report, and these relatively large tribes around have already made moves, and they will catch up with us in two days at most." ”
"In that case, we have to move faster. ”
Chu Yujia took a deep breath and said, "Strive to uproot a barbarian camp tonight, and then we will return." ”
"Hmm. ”
Qi nodded again, raised his hand and pointed to a place on the map, and said: "Here, that is, thirty miles in front of us on the left, there is a barbarian camp, we have already reconnoitred, the scale of this camp is not small, and the clansmen in the camp are at least a few thousand. ”
"No matter how many people there are, they have to fight. ”
Chu Yujia got up, put away the map, and then turned over and got on his horse.
Although they have only destroyed three tribes now, the desert tribes are already a shadow of a snake for them.
Nowadays, both large and small tribes will stay on the periphery of the camp at night to guard a large number of men in the tribe, and once they find the traces of cavalry, they will immediately sound the alarm.
Now that the purpose of their surprise attack has been achieved, if it continues, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, causing the desert tribes to join forces to encircle and suppress them.
This is a great disadvantage for them, and of course Chu Yujia knows this, so he decided that tonight's battle will be their last battle, and after destroying this last barbarian camp, they will immediately retreat.
It has been eight days since they came out of Shuiyun County, and in those eight days, they have destroyed three barbarian camps, and they have also piggybacked on several small nomadic tribes.
Now the captured cattle, sheep and booty have been transported back to Shuiyun County with the bones of seriously injured and fallen soldiers who were slightly injured but did not delay their horseback.
The two thousand cavalry slowly advanced under the faint moonlight under the leadership of Chu Yujia, and as time passed, the team got closer and closer to the camp in front of them.
Sou!
Just as they were within a thousand paces of the camp, a shrill cry pierced the darkness.
"Arrows!"
Chu Yujia scolded secretly and said, "There is an enemy secret sentry, and we have been discovered. ”
Then, Chu Yujia untied his longbow from his horse, and shot an arrow at the location where the arrow was fired.
The arrow was so precise that the whistle that shot the arrow didn't even have time to scream.
But by this time it was too late to kill the dark whistle......
With the sound of the arrows, the guards on the periphery of the camp had already reacted.
Strange shouts began to sound, and then the whole camp appeared with shaking torches, as if the whole camp had moved.
Seeing this, Chu Yujia gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"
Kill!!
The shouting and killing explosion can be described as earth-shattering.
The two thousand northwest light horsemen were as magnificent as the twenty thousand cavalry, and the war horses under their crotch shook off their four hooves and the earth trembled.
The iron hooves rolled, and the wind came, and in an instant two thousand horsemen were within two hundred paces of the great camp.
Chu Yujia took his bow and shot an arrow, accurately shooting through the chest of a barbarian soldier.
His arrow was like opening the horn of attack, and the surrounding northwest light cavalry also took their bows and arrows.
The first round of cavalry arrows flew towards the camp in an instant......
The screams, the sound of arrows entering the flesh, and the tearing sound of iron armor breaking through the tent resounded in the sky.
