Chapter 172 Chase and Kill(1/2)
Zhenlu is a light horse, running like a streak of smoke on the grassland, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Yang Zheng, who was following behind, was stunned.
It's like you took off your pants and were ready physically, mentally, and emotionally, but the beauty picked up her pants and ran away.
Ran away...
"This guy Tuluo is so cunning!" Meng Fei returned without success.
"This guy is a born coward." Liu Heng was furious.
Yang Zheng was also a little unsure.
It is said that he has 20,000 troops, and he has 7,000 exhausted troops, and many are injured.
It seems they shouldn't be the ones escaping.
At least two people should be brought over to test it out.
Yang Zheng turned his eyes to his new father-in-law Peng Hu.
Peng Hu thought for a while and then said: "Tu Luo is not a good person at all. He is greedy by nature. He will advance when it is beneficial and flee when it is unprofitable. There are many discords within him. At first, Ye Wudai looked down on him, so he should be taxed heavily.
, We have just forced him to rebel. This person is not something to worry about. If he blocks the canal, the Yuezhi will be in great trouble. If we wait for him to stabilize his defeat and shrink into Longqi City, it will take a lot of effort."
Yang Zheng was a little impressed by this father-in-law.
However, he couldn't treat one favorably. Yang Zheng turned his eyes to Jiang Fane and asked, "What's Jiang Zheng's intention?"
Jiang Fane glanced at Peng Hu imperceptibly from the corner of his eye, cupped his hands and said: "The captives are afraid of the general's power, so there is nothing to worry about. My subordinates also agree with Chief Peng's strategy. The top priority is to attack Juqu and the Yueshi."
Yang Zheng smiled and said, "Since you two agree, let's attack Juqu with the main force, and hand Tuluo over to Mengfei."
Originally, he wanted Peng Hu to chase Tuluo, but this would inevitably make Jiang Fa's ambitions difficult to realize.
As a son-in-law, it is best for a bowl of water to be balanced. Favoring one over the other will cause trouble sooner or later.
Meng Fei is brave and resourceful, and relatively calm. He doesn't want to defeat Tu Luo, he just wants to bite him and stare him to death.
Wait until your army returns before eating this fat meal.
Meng Fei was stunned. He didn't expect that this job would eventually fall on him. He immediately raised his hands and said, "I accept my order."
Yang Zheng warned: "Don't ask to defeat him, just bite him."
"I understand!" Meng Fei responded generously.
Just in case, Yang Zheng also allocated him a thousand Huangzhong Yi Cong.
After the assignment was completed, Yang Zheng immediately set off to beat Long Qi's drowned dog.
Many lone enemies were captured along the way.
Livestock, horses, baggage, and armor were all scattered on the ground.
There are still many corpses, and it seems that there was internal strife during the escape.
When they arrived at Long Qi, Yang Zheng was surprised by the scene in front of him.
Blood flowed everywhere in the city, and there were corpses of Yuezhi barbarians everywhere, common people, soldiers, old people, children...
Some of them were disemboweled and died in horrific ways.
Some people are still alive and struggling in a pool of blood.
Fire filled the sky and smoke billowed.
The twilight shrouded the air of despair and death.
Yang Zheng thought that his methods were ruthless enough, but he didn't expect that Juqu Luo Bayan had no lower limit.
It had only been three hours, and the attack was so fast and so cruel.
It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change its nature. Historically, the Juqu tribe also established its country by stabbing people in the back.
"General, Bai Conghu has been found!" Several soldiers carried a wounded person over.
Yang Zheng looked at the dying Bai Conghu, and his mood was inevitably a little low. They were all out to fool around, and this end was really terrible.
Bai Conghu was stabbed twice in the ribs, and black blood continued to flow out of his mouth. When he saw Yang Zheng, his eyes suddenly became brighter, "I regret, I regret not listening to the general's words."
You choose your own path.
After saying this breathy sentence, he immediately began to tremble in pain.
Yang Zheng pulled out his sword, walked to his ear, and whispered: "I will avenge you, you're welcome."
After saying that, the sword pierced his heart.
Relief and relief suddenly appeared in Bai Conghu's eyes, and then he closed his eyes.
Yang Zheng pulled out his sword, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
The Juqu Department is so insidious and vicious. If we don’t get rid of them now, we don’t know how much trouble we will cause ourselves in the future!
"The scouts are working day and night to find out for me the traces of Juquluo Bayan."
"Obey the order!" Hundreds of scouts responded and left.
"Each tribe slaughtered cattle and sheep and fed them all night."
The soldiers were immediately overjoyed.
While resting, Yang Zheng did not relax his vigilance. The soldiers were sleeping in their armor, and there were six sentry posts all around.
He left the affairs of the camp to Jiang Fane and then went to sleep peacefully.
It felt like I was being pushed awake as soon as I closed my eyes.
The sky is already dim and bright.
Liu Heng said with red eyes: "The scouts have found traces of Luo Bayan."
Yang Zheng rubbed his temples that were still awake, "You didn't sleep all night?"
"The general is asleep, and his subordinates must guard him!" Liu Heng said as if offering a treasure, for fear that others would not hear.
Yang Zheng patted his shoulder.
After leaving the camp, the soldiers woke up one after another under the urging of the corps commander.
In half an hour, the army was assembled.
"Report to the general, Luo Bayan's 6,000 troops, with their fast horses and light cavalry, kept up the whole night and fled to Dadou Valley!" said the scout in the dust.
Dadou Valley will be known as Biandukou in later generations.
It is an important place connecting the West Sea and Hexi.
"Luo Bayan wants to escape into Wuwei." Jiang Faye said.
Peng Hu said: "Juqu is connected with Tufa Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu. If they break into Wuwei, their connections will be very wide and it will be difficult to defeat them."
In the West Sea, Yang Zheng chopped him up and steamed him, and no one else had anything to say, because it was the duty of the captain to protect the Qiang, but if he broke into Wuwei, things would be different.
Wuwei belongs to Liangzhou.
Things that cross the line can be big or small.
After Yang Zheng thought for a moment, he said categorically: "Juquluo Bayan must be eliminated!"
This poisonous thorn in the Juqu Department must be removed.
Appreciation flashed quietly in Peng Hu's eyes.
Jiang Fanye collected many war horses.
After giving the order, the soldiers mounted their horses without any regrets.
Along the way, we encountered several tribes that had been harmed by the Juqu tribe, and they were also miserable.
The corpses of women were piled together in white piles.
shocking.
Even Yang Zheng, who always prided himself on being iron-blooded, was also shocked.
In this era, if there is no bottom line, what is the difference between humans and beasts?
Only halfway through the journey, envoys from various forces in the north came together.
Xiu Xiongnu, Xiongnu Xiongnu, Dugu Xiongnu, Bald Xianbei all sent people to slaughter.
Even Fan Can, the governor of Wuwei, persuaded Yang Zheng to calm down the matter.
Only then did Yang Zheng realize how much face Juqubu had.
"The Juqu Department made an unintentional mistake. I hope General Yang will calm down."
"As long as General Yang lets Luo Bayan go, the Juqu tribe will offer 3,000 good horses and 10,000 cattle and sheep as a gift of apology."
"Our tribes in Liangzhou have no intention of rebelling against the Wei Dynasty. Why should the general kill them all?"
