Chapter 627

Chapter 620: Liu He died, Yan Rou captured, Gao Qian was tricked (three in one)

Soon after Qi Zhou came back from Liu He, Xian Yu Yin asked anxiously, "How is it?"

Qi Zhou shook his head and said: "The Eldest Young Master is very determined, we are prepared for the worst. The Eldest Young Master told me that Li Su promised to defeat Gongsun Zan and take Youzhou in the future, and return Youzhou to the Eldest Young Master."

There was a slight sneer on Yan Rou's face, while Xian Yufu and Xian Yu Yin changed their expressions from before, a little excited, and their eyes were full of anticipation.

This condition is not bad.

It's just that as Liu Yu's ex-worker, Qi Zhou didn't mention anything else after finishing speaking, but pulled Yan Rou aside alone and said: "I always feel that I have a bad premonition when I go south this time. Also please Zike immediately order to protect the young master to leave Bingzhou."

"It seems that our judgments are all unanimous. I'm afraid Li Su has no good intentions in letting the eldest son be the vanguard." After finishing speaking, Yan Rou said:
"But where can we go if we don't stay in Bingzhou?"

Qi Zhou said: "Why don't you go to the grassland, you are familiar with the Xianbei people, maybe they can take us in."

Yan Rou shook her head: "It's not reliable. If we are powerful, the Xianbei people will treat us as honored guests. If we are weak, they will swallow us up and exchange benefits with Gongsun Zan with your head."

Xianbei people are close to Yan Rou, that's because of Yan Rou's relationship.

Liu He may not be able to give courtesy when he goes.

With the ability and charm that Liu He has shown now, he cannot be respected and valued by the Xianbei people.

The grassland tribes only value the strong.

The law of the jungle is prey to the strong, but there are no rules and etiquette.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Yan Rou didn't want to take everyone to vote for Xianbei.

Especially after Xu Ding severely injured Ke Bineng last year, he felt that the resentment of the grassland tribes towards the Han people was even heavier.

"Hey! The world is so big, isn't there room for us?" Qi Zhou looked up to the east and sighed.

Yan Rou's expression was complicated, and she said in her heart that it's not that there is no such thing, but that we don't want to face it squarely, and don't want to mention this person.

The route Li Su arranged for the army to travel this time was Shangdang East Road, going east from the Taihang Mountain Valley.

Liu Hebu naturally had bandits from the original Taihang Mountains as guides.

So all the way south is quite hidden.

If it weren't for the secret letter, the high-ranking officials might not have found their traces at all, at least not in advance.

Of course, whether it is taking the Taihang East Road or the main official road, there is one thing that Li Su can't get around.

That is the turbid water blocking the way to the south, this is a river that Li Su must cross when going south, and he will definitely be exposed when he hits here.

But now that there is a secret letter, Gao Gan is not going to simply block Li Su to the north of the turbid water, but cross the turbid water and lie in ambush in a valley at the junction of the Central Taihang Mountain and the North Taihang Mountain.

Soon Liu and Dajun came into view.

"Report! My lord, the enemy army is coming. There are about three thousand people coming, under the banner of Liu character."

"Okay! Well done, tell everyone to keep an eye on them. This battle will wipe them all out. We can't let one go." Gao Gan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Liu Bei's vanguards were all cavalry. This is a big fish. So he hurriedly passed the order down.

After Liu He and other troops came in completely and Deng Sheng sealed off the escape route, Gao Gan drew his sword and pointed at Liu He's army in the valley, "Attack!"

Immediately, drums and drums were beating on the mountain, and countless rolling stones and trees rolled down the mountain, and arrows poured down like rain.

Liu He and the others at the bottom of the valley turned pale with fright, they were caught off guard, or they were on guard, but because they were not familiar with the surrounding area, the guide repeatedly told Yan Rou and the others that there would be no ambushes nearby.

As a result, Liu and the army suffered a devastating blow.

In the face of countless rolling stones and trees, they can only be attacked passively. Countless soldiers were hit and fell to the ground.

The soldiers who just wanted to fight back were also killed by the arrow rain.

"Protect the eldest son!"

Qi Zhou was shot off his horse by an arrow, and he still kept shouting, soon a huge boulder fell down, and he was completely lifeless.

Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Yan Rou and the others urged their horses to keep waving their weapons to block the rain of arrows and rushed to Liu He's side, protecting him and retreating in the middle of the valley.

At this time, Liu He's head was blank and his face was as pale as paper. He looked at the soldiers who were constantly being cut off by the enemy and kept vomiting blood.

"No! The enemy's troops have a great advantage, and the rain of arrows is too dense. We will all be shot into hedgehogs if we stay any longer. We must leave quickly." Xian Yufu said anxiously.

Younger brother Xianyu Yin said: "I'll clear the way, let's retreat into Taihang Mountain!"

Yan Rou glanced at Liu He in a daze and said, "No! You can't retreat, there must be heavy ambushes behind, follow me forward, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, go!"

Without giving Brother Xianyu a chance to think, Yan Rou rushed forward with the soldiers who had a tenacious desire to survive.

"Go! Follow up!" Xian Yufu led Liu He to follow behind, and Xian Yuyin had no choice but to lead his bodyguards to keep raising their shields and swinging their guns, blocking the arrows and heavy objects above their heads.

The three of them led Liu He forward non-stop, the team became smaller and smaller, and people kept getting shot and fell, and then there was no chance of surviving.

"Oh, it's interesting that they didn't retreat. It seems that this vanguard has a capable general." Gao Gan saw that Liu Hebu was rushing west instead of retreating to the east. He was a little surprised, but he still cocked his lips. Sneered:
"Even so, do you think you have a chance to come out alive? How naive."

Then Gao Gan led his men to chase westward. The blocking force in the west was indeed not as large as that in the east, only about one-third.

However, there are still a lot of soldiers, enough to destroy this remnant by himself.

How many more did Yan Rou and the others have, probably less than [-].

And many of them were wounded, embarrassed and weak.

"Death and life, kill!"

Seeing Taniguchi's rejection horse and the high-ranking generals on display, Yan Rou roared angrily, raised her bow and shot an arrow.

The guards behind him opened their bows one after another.

Scattered arrows flew into the high cadres and generals.

Blocked by the shield, only a few arrows shot into the army formation.

On the contrary, there are many archers in the high-ranking interception troops.

Under the command of general Deng Sheng, they all drew their bows to the full moon.

"put!"

The rain of arrows rushed straight out, Yan Rou and the others were in a hurry to shoot the second arrow, so they could only wave their weapons and try to block it as much as possible.

Straight arrows flew towards them, and countless cavalry fell off their horses, but there were still quite a few of them following Yan Rou, rushing forward desperately.

Soon they rushed to Juma's front, Yan Rou held Ma Leng tightly and stretched out her hand, Ma Leng directly stabbed Juma's crossbar, and then picked it up.

The heavy refusal horse flew off the ground and crashed into the front of the Shangdang shield soldiers not far away.

With a sound of "Boom!", several shield soldiers were unable to stand still and fell sideways.

Yan Rou urged the horse to take advantage of the situation to charge in. A few of the Youzhou cavalry behind him followed, but most of them were intercepted by other repelling horses.

Or the horse jumped straight over, but neither the horse nor the person could stand upright, and they also crashed down.

Of course, even if nothing happened, he was stabbed by the enemy spearmen who rushed forward, killing him on the spot.

"Puff...!"

Although Yan Rou had a large number, she rushed into the enemy army and swung her weapons left and right, giving full play to the advantages of the cavalry, charging and slashing.

The high-ranking officers and soldiers were killed and kept avoiding to the sides.

The Youzhou cavalry who came in with Yan Rou also slashed desperately, tearing the hole bigger and bigger.

This provided convenience for Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, who were protecting Liu He, and gave them a little life.

The two guarded Liu He and rushed in, each of them counting one as ten, and they were extremely brave at the moment.

Although the number dropped sharply to 500, the superiority of the cavalry and the desire to survive supported them, allowing them to explode into super-high combat effectiveness.

"Wai! Block, block!" Deng Sheng was in a hurry. He didn't expect that Yan Rou's hundreds of people could continue to attack, and they were about to break through the blocking army.

Deng Sheng immediately rushed over with his personal guards, swung his spear and stabbed at Yan Rou.

As long as Yan Rou is killed, this group of Shangdang soldiers will be completely abolished, and no one will be able to slip away.

But Deng Gao overestimated his own strength, he stabbed with his long spear, Yan Rou swung his horse to block it, and then quickly returned a strike.

Deng Sheng only felt his arms vibrate, the gun was about to be released, and he looked horrified. He never expected this guy to be so powerful.

Just when he was surprised, Yan Rou's counterattack came, and he had to stand aside with his gun.

Then he was hit hard and fell off the horse, hitting two of his own soldiers.

"Kill!" Yan Rou repelled Deng Sheng with one blow, she didn't have the time to pay attention to him, she rushed forward and quickly penetrated Deng Sheng's troops.

Finally, he fought a life and death path for the remnants of his side.

Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and the others were overjoyed, Cui moved his horse, one right and one left protected Liu He and rushed out.

At this time Liu He finally broke free from the chaos, looking around, the original [-] cavalry department, now [-] is not enough.

His eyes turned red involuntarily, and the anger and hatred in his heart turned back and forth.

"Hahaha, not bad! Really good! I didn't expect hundreds of people to rush out, so I was a little surprised!" Just when Liu Hebu thought he had escaped and got rid of the ambush, there was another person in front of him. The horse blocked the way, and the leader was the senior official of the Shangdang prefect.

Gao Gan pointed his spear with extraordinary momentum, Yan Rou reined in his horse and stopped, because the opponent was no longer all infantry, but about two thousand fine cavalry.

There is only one person in Shangdang who can command such a fine cavalry, and that is Gao Gan, who is his personal guard cavalry.

This high-ranking cadre has good military strength, not an ordinary person.

Although he came from a family, he was born with great strength. Few of the bandit leaders of the Black Mountain Army in the Taihang Mountains were his opponents, and he was very afraid of them, so Li Su specially mentioned it to everyone.

So Yan Rou wasn't on a rampage.

With a disparity of ten to one, and with Liu He as a drag bottle, the odds of winning are really very low.

Gao Gan was riding a horse, walking back and forth, keeping his eyes on Yan Rou, seeing that Yan Rou stopped, and said: "What's your name? Surrender, follow me from now on, I can give you a light s future."

"Yan Rou in Youzhou." Yan Rou replied bluntly: "I'm sorry General Gao, I'm not in the habit of surrendering, and I don't have a bright future with you!"

"Hmph, shameless, courting death!" After finishing speaking, Gao Gan urged his horse to charge over, but to his surprise, the riders behind him did not move.

Yan Rou knew what Gao Gan meant, she wanted to capture herself, and then force Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and others to surrender to Gao Gan.

As a vassal with ideals, revenge, and wanting to control the state independently, to subdue the powerful generals and expand his strength, this is a path that must be taken.

But for Yan Rou, it might be a good way to reduce casualties, maximize Zengdu's protection of Liu He, and bring more brothers to break through.

Capture high-ranking cadres and break through safely.

Fight!

The two men rushed towards each other with two horses, one with a spear and the other with a horse, both of which were long weapons.

No one takes advantage of anyone.

"Clang!" The two iron weapons collided, sparks shot out all over the place, lightning flashed, and the two swung their weapons to attack each other's chest.

Then both changed their moves and blocked each other.

The sound of ping pong pong followed the continuous dancing of the two, and Jin Ming continued.

The humanity of the two is not bad, and they frowned a few times when they encountered each other head-on.

Obviously the other party's strength is not inferior to their own, and both sides have certain guesses, but at this time, they can't think about it so much, so they can only do their best to subdue the other party.

Soon the two fought from ten rounds to twenty, then thirty, forty, and until seventy rounds, and there was no winner.

The battle between the two is still going on, and it's not the same, which surprised each other's subordinates.

Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and the others were secretly anxious. If the fight continued like this, they would definitely suffer.

Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng, Gao Gan's subordinates, formed a small tacit understanding with each other, and gradually surrounded them.

Across more than 200 Youzhou cavalry soldiers, including Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, they winked at each other.

When they were surrounded, suddenly Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng waved their hands, and the shield soldiers in front of their archers gave up their sight.

A sharp arrow flew towards Liu He and the others.

Xia Zhao on the opposite side also pointed his sword, and a brigade of [-] riders rushed out, bypassing the battle area between Gao Gan and Yan Rou, and charged towards Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin.

"Puff puff……"

Liu He and the others were caught off guard and were flanked by front and back. Immediately, a hundred or so riders fell off their horses and died on the spot.

Even Liu He was hit by two arrows and was about to fall off his horse due to the pain. At this time, Xian Yuyin supported him with one hand.

But the next moment, Xian Yuyin's arm was also shot by an arrow, causing him to howl in pain, but he didn't dare to let go and let Liu He fall.

Blood was overflowing from Liu He's mouth, and he looked sideways at Xian Yuyin, with infinite sadness on his face and heart: "You are all... well, let go...remember...to take revenge!"

Suddenly another arrow was shot, and Liu He was shot in the back, causing his body to shake, he opened his mouth to spit out a big mouthful of blood, and then he tilted his head and lost his breath.

Xian Yufu used Jing Lai to rescue Liu He, because Gao Gan's cavalry rushed over, he waved his weapon to resist, and handed over his back to his younger brother.

Little did they know that at this moment, Xian Yuyin raised his head to the sky and screamed, turned around and rushed towards Deng Sheng's department.

At this time, Deng Sheng's troops stopped shooting arrows, because Liu He was killed, and more than 100 of the two hundred cavalry also died, and countless small ones were also injured, and their combat effectiveness was not strong.

So Deng Sheng urged his horse to take the initiative to meet Xian Yuyin. He was defeated by Yan Rou just now, and Yijing made him lose face. If he can win Xian Yuyin, he can somewhat restore some of his military image.

Here, Gao Gan was fighting Yan Rou, and he didn't expect that the two subordinates would surprise Liu He and the others, and now they were almost done with the elite soldiers he wanted to recruit.

Yan Rou didn't expect the other party to attack suddenly, so when she heard Xian Yuyin's mournful cry, she turned her head and saw the sound of Liu He falling from his horse with three arrows, her heart also jumped.

Inadvertently, he was shot by a high-ranking official who had figured out a routine, and fell directly from his horse.

Then, before Yan Rou could turn around and come back, Gao Gan's spear pointed directly at his neck.

"Don't move!"

Yan Rou struggled for a while, her eyes flashed complicated, but she slapped her right hand heavily on the gravel on the ground, and she gave up resistance.

"Someone come and tie me up!" Gao Gan gave an order, and immediately a cavalryman urged his horse over, jumped off and tied Yan Rou up.

Then Gao Gan urged his horse to rush towards the maddened Xian Yufu, and hit him from behind with a sneak attack, Xian Yufu also fell off his horse and was tied up.

On the other hand, Deng Sheng fought Xian Yuyin for six rounds, and won with difficulty, capturing the already injured Xian Yuyin alive.

This ambush ended with the destruction of the Youzhou cavalry.

Except for Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, and Xian Yuyin, more than a dozen soldiers were captured in this battle, and all the others were killed in battle.

This was a big victory, and Gao Gan was very happy, so Gao Gan came to Yan Rou again and said, "Your name is Yan Rou! Now I have defeated your army, and you have become a prisoner, and you are willing to surrender!"

"Hey, let's surrender!" Xian Yuyin cursed angrily.

Xian Yufu looked at Yan Rou, and Yan Rou asked Gao Gan, "Can you kill Li Su?"

Gao Gan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Of course, why do you want Li Su to die?"

Yan Judao: "That's right, if you can kill Li Su, we can serve you."

"Okay! Come on, wait, when I kill Li Su, you will be my vanguard and attack Taiyuan County." Gao Gan naturally agreed.

Yan Rou nodded, not talking about anything else.

Gao Gan then ordered a group of people to escort Yan Rou and the others to Lu County.

Lu County is on the south bank of the Zhuoshui River and belongs to the rear.

After finishing Yan Rou and other troops, Gao Gan immediately led his troops to ambush Li Su's main force again, this time he moved the low point of the ambush to the east for twenty miles.

Because there is also an excellent ambush place.

So in order to avoid nights and dreams and alert Li Su, he didn't delay here any longer.

It's just that he didn't know that not long after he passed by, the opening where he blocked Yan Rou was also blocked by an army coming from the north and the south.

And above the Changgu Road that ambushed Yan Rou, a group of soldiers also started to get busy.

"Zike, what do you mean by this? Why do you want to serve as a high-ranking official? How can you do this when the eldest son's bones are not cold?" Halfway through the journey, Xian Yu Yin's eyes were red, his hair was scattered, and he looked like a ghost, and finally he couldn't help it. asked.

It seemed that as long as Yan Rou's reply was not in line with his intentions, he would be able to pounce on it.

The high-ranking cadres who escorted them all sneered.

Yan Rou replied calmly: "Eldest Young Master was killed by Li Su, our actions are kept secret, someone must have leaked the news, so Li Su deserves to die."

"What? It was Li Su...he deliberately killed the eldest son, but why!" Xian Yuyin raised his head and let out a long cry, telling him emotionally that what Yan Rou said was right, but rationally telling him that it didn't make sense.

No matter how much Li Su doesn't like Liu He, how much he can fool him, he won't betray us. The Three Thousand Cavalry Department is not a small force, and if it is used well, it can have a big effect.

We don't have any major conflicts with Liu Bei or Li Su, why is this so.

Yan Rou closed her eyes and said, "First, Li Su needs to sacrifice us to prepare for his big victory. Second, Liu Bei needs to befriend Gongsun Zan. The death of the eldest son can make the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei closer and the cooperation smoother. We really shouldn't have come to Bingzhou, I, Yan Zike, did something wrong."

"This...!" Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin were dumbfounded.

Yan Rou's words were not difficult to understand, so the brothers Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin fell silent.

Because Liu He came to Liu Bei, they also supported it.

But at that time, there was nothing they could do. There was no place for them to stay, so they had to go to Liu Bei, who was also a member of the Han clan, in anticipation of development.

As a result, it became what it is now.

Liu He and three thousand soldiers were killed in battle, and several of them became prisoners of senior officials.

Ridiculous, deplorable.

"Oh, there is someone who understands, not bad, not bad!" The high-ranking young general escorting Yan Rou and the others had a faint smile on his face, and murmured admiringly but also nodded with a touch of sarcasm.

Yan Rou raised her head to look at this person, always feeling weird, with an indescribable premonition in her heart.

Soon it was getting dark, and after nightfall, everyone found a place to sleep in the wild with the back of the mountain.

The bonfires were raging, and the night was quiet. In the middle of the night, all the high-ranking soldiers fell asleep, and even the soldiers on duty dozed off.

Suddenly a black shadow flashed past, the neck of the dozing man was twisted, and he passed out completely.

The black shadow held a sharp dagger and walked straight towards the bound Yan Rou and the others. Yan Rou soon woke up, and the moment she opened her eyes, the dagger flashed coldly, and slashed towards his waist.

…………

At the same time, a remnant army was galloping in the valley of Taihang Mountain.

Gao Gan experienced the same speed and passion of life and death as Yan Rou and others during the day.

He was ambushed. Originally, he wanted to ambush Li Su's main force, but he was ambushed by Li Su's main force on the way.

The army suffered heavy losses. He rushed out with only cavalry and a thousand infantry, and his general Wang Yan died on the spot.

He couldn't figure out how he was ambushed by the other party.

While walking, recalling Yan Rou's words, he suddenly understood.

Li Su was so ruthless that he used Yan Rou and other three thousand riders as cannon fodder to deliberately lure him into being fooled.

The so-called secret letter probably came from Li Su.

How cruel!

"Senior, where are you running!"

Suddenly countless torches lit up on the mountain, and Gao Gan realized that he had escaped to the position where Yan Rou was ambushed during the day, when rolling stones and trees kept falling down on the mountain.

The high-level cadres who had been frightened and exhausted were shot one after another, and all fell from their horses.

Countless arrows flew down, and everything that happened during the day was repeated.

However, Gao Gan was lucky. Because of the light, the archers on the mountain couldn't aim, so they could only shoot blindly, pouring arrows into the valley as much as possible.

So in this wave of ambushes, Gao Gan still took away [-] cavalry, but the infantry were not so lucky, and they were all left in the valley.

After rushing through this valley, Gao Gan was not at all happy, because he knew that Li Su would definitely set up soldiers to block the valley, just like he did to Yan Rou during the day.

really!

Taniguchi arrived at the front, chatting about several torches, but also revealed the prototype of a ferocious army.

"kill!"

Gao Gan took the lead and rushed over with all the riders.

At this moment, only a deadly battle can survive, and only a dash can break through.

What Yan Rou can do, he can also do, but the price may be very high...
