Chapter 450
In the big tent beside Wuhou Qinshui, Wang Junkuo, Ertuo and Yinghefu discussed together in the tent.

Wang Junkuo told the two of them about the military situation brought by Khitan Khan Qulie, and Yinghefu was also skeptical.
Yinghofer said: "As far as I know, although the eight tribes of Khitan occasionally attack each other because of the water and grass, they are always united when dealing with foreign tribes. This may be a fraud, maybe it is to lure us to cross the Wukong Hou Qinshui."

Er Tuo said: "Now I don't know if the Turks have plans to intervene in it, but there is no turning back. Our army Du has arrived here. Don't you dare to cross the Wuhou Qin River because of some rumors? Boerhan He is the son of my brother Yan Yelie, my nephew, and I must help him."

Wang Junkuo nodded and said: "The two commanders said so, I think we should find out anyway, then tomorrow the army will cross the Wuhou Qinshui."

"Report!" A school lieutenant entered the tent.

Wang Junkuo said: "Say."

The captain said: "The soldiers of our army who swam across the river have contacted the Bo'erhan command army. The Borhan command army told us that Yan Yelie's department is now divided into three departments. He controls one and the other two. Migrate to the north and east respectively, to join the Khitan people and Nan Shiwei."

"It turned out to be so." Wang Junkuo stroked his beard, the expected civil war in Yan Yelie's tribe did not happen, but things developed in a worse direction.

Wang Junkuo opened his eyes and asked, "Where did the one headed towards Khitan go?"

"It's Lengxing Mountain."

Wang Junkuo squinted his eyes, and Yinghe Fu said: "It seems that this is probably a plot of the Khitan people to lure the enemy."

Yinghefu was calm and said: "When things come to an end, there is nothing to worry about. Let's see how brave the Khitan people have this time, to dare to fight our army again."

The next day, tens of thousands of prairie cavalry gathered by the Wuhou Qinshui River crossed the river together and arrived at the north bank.

Wang Junkuo personally led [-] cavalry to the Yazhang of Yan Yelie's tribe.

Boerhan, the new commander, led his people out of the tent to meet Wang Junkuo, and said: "The last general is incompetent, which caused the separation of the people, and I ask the general to punish him."

Wang Junkuo looked at Bo'erhan, who had braided hair of a Shiwei person, fair complexion, studied in Handi County for several years, shed a bit of arrogance compared to other freshmen, and was a bit more gentle.

But it is this kind of gentleness, which is probably the reason why the people do not accept him. The people on the grassland believe that the strong are kings, and they are ruled by courage. A warrior with three fights of spirits, Borhan's martial arts are obviously inferior to his father's. No wonder his clansmen didn't believe that he could lead them as the leader, so they left one after another.

Wang Junkuo said: "The matter has come to this point, and it will be useless to blame you. Right now, you must recover the clansmen who left you and punish the rebels."

Borhan clasped his fists and said: "Everything is to be ordered by the chief guardian."

Wang Junkuo nodded and said, "How many soldiers can you dispatch now?"

Borhan said loudly: "There are still [-] people who can be dispatched. They are all the most trusted fighters of my father during his lifetime. They can defend the tribe to the death."

Wang Junkuo said: "Okay, leave 1000 people to guard the cattle and sheep pastures, and the remaining 2000 people will go with my headquarters."

"No." Borhan's eyes revealed firmness.

Wang Junkuo and Bo Erhan led five thousand light cavalry and galloped towards Lengxing Mountain.

After Wuhou Qinshui, the grassland gradually widens, and spring is a windy day on the grassland. The herdsmen exaggeratedly said that the wind here can blow cattle and sheep to the sky.

Grasslands here are sparse and low-growing, with sporadic depressions.

Wang Junkuo led five thousand light cavalry to go first, and after a day of driving, he caught up with some of the Yan Yelie tribe who were heading towards the Wei tribe of Nanshi.

Seeing the army chasing from behind, the Fanmen of Yan Yelie's department panicked, but immediately set up a ring formation on the grassland with carts and cattle and horses outside.

The two sides are in a tense situation, which is about to explode.
Borhan rode his horse forward and shouted loudly outside the chariot formation: "Brothers of Yan Yelie tribe, I am Borhan, are you going to shoot your leader to death with bows and arrows?"

There was a commotion in the car formation.

Someone shouted in the car formation, saying: "We Shiwei people like to walk with pastures and water sources, but you, the leader, said that everyone is together, which violates the freedom that the longevity god has given us Shiwei people for generations. Move to the north to a place where the water and grass are more luxuriant, Borhan today you are our leader, but if you take a step forward, our bows and arrows will not recognize you as the leader.”

Borhan said: "Can one arrow be broken, but can three arrows be broken? The reason for getting together is to not be bullied by outsiders. You don't love the pastures we have lived in for generations, but go to fight wild wolves and tigers in the mountains. Are leopards fighting for food, and then being bullied by others?"

Accompanied by Boerhan's words, Wang Junkuo's cavalry gradually caught up from all sides and surrounded Yanyeliefan's people.The surrounding cavalry were chasing their horses with their bows, and they looked sturdy. Yan Yelie's defecting clansmen also saw that these were not Borhan's own troops, but reinforcements.

Holding a big knife, Wang Junkuo rode his horse forward and shouted: "I am the protector of Wang Junkuo, the capital of Ruoshui Prefecture. I heard that you and others rebelled, so I was ordered by the Khan to come here to put down the rebellion. Back then, you were slaves of the Khitans at the Wuhou Qinshui. If it wasn't for the Khan's rescue, how could you have what you are today, and now you have completely forgotten the kindness of the Khan back then."

After hearing that it was reinforcements from Huaihuang and Yuyi towns, commotion broke out in the car formation again. Not only the soldiers in leather armor, but also women and children in leather robes raised their bows and stood in the car formation nearby.

A person in the car formation shouted: "In the past few years, we have served in the army and marched south with the Khan, and we have repaid the Khan's great kindness. Now we are leaving because we are free. You say that we are slaves from the Khitans. Your Majesty rescued us, but now we have to leave, you don’t allow it, will the Sui people want to enslave us Shiwei people for generations? How is this different from the Khitan people?”

Wang Junkuo sneered and said, "You said you repaid the Khan's great kindness, well, your horses, scimitars, iron utensils, bows and arrows, horseshoes, and the cloth on women's bodies, as well as the fine wines you drink on weekdays, are all available to you." It was given by the Khan. If you want to leave, we will not stop you. Leave your bows and arrows, scimitars, cavalry, and cloth, and you can leave."

The other party was at a loss for words for a while, and there were many discussions in the car formation.

Borhan said: "Everyone, when we were enslaved by the Khitan people, we worked hard every day, herding horses and sheep for the Khitan people, but we couldn't eat the raised sheep, and the fur on the cattle and sheep was not enough. It has become the leather jacket of the Khitan people, and now everyone has meat to eat, leather to wear, and cloth to wear. Who in the grassland has a better life than us? Didn’t Khan bring all these? Now we are away from Khan , do you still have these?"

Seeing Boerhan talking, Wang Junkuo immediately ordered the cavalry under his command to step forward, and [-] cavalry deployed around, enclosing the opponent like a big net.

Inside the car formation, Fang Yan said: "Okay, we promise to go back, but you have to agree, and the matter is not allowed to be pursued."

Wang Junkuo sneered and said: "It is the Khan's decision whether to pursue it or not. I have no right to agree for him. There is only one way for you now, which is to put down your swords, guns, bows and arrows and come out. I can save your lives. If you are one step late, I will kill you." Order my brothers to attack the chariot formation."

The sound of horseshoes was rolling, and there was another army of cavalry coming from behind the mountain. It turned out that Yinghefu was worried that Wang Junkuo's lonely army would go deep and sent two thousand cavalry to follow.

The car formation was even more panicked, and after a while, the white flag was finally hoisted to surrender. More than 8000 people from Yan Yelie's tribe, including the old and weak, women and children, walked out of the car formation and surrendered.

Wang Junkuo gave a few instructions to Boerhan, Boerhan nodded, and ordered his subordinates to arrest more than 200 people and bring them to Wang Junkuo and Boerhan.

More than 200 people were tied up, and each of them got up and cried out for their innocence.

Wang Junkuo asked Borhan, "Are all the clansmen who opposed you back then here?"

Borhan nodded and said, "Not bad."

Wang Junkuo immediately ordered: "Let go of women and children, and let go of men who are not taller than the wheel."

All the soldiers entered together, and there were more than 200 people crying, and more than 100 people were taken away, and the remaining nearly [-] people looked at their wives and children and wept.

"Kill!" Wang Junkuo said the word resolutely.

Borhan knelt down in front of the king's horse, and said: "General Protector, they are all brothers of my tribe, please spare their lives!"

Wang Junkuo said: "If you don't kill the crime of rebellion, you must not have the benevolence of a woman in how to subdue the tribe in the future. Besides, I let the women and children go, which is already tolerant."

After the words fell, Fan Jun entered the arena with a knife, beheading everyone he met.

After a while, there were nearly a hundred corpses on the field, Wang Junkuo shouted to the people present: "If there are any more rebels, they will all end up like this."

Seeing Wang Junkuo's iron-blooded methods, all the people present were horrified, and they all obeyed immediately.

After disposing of the rebellion, Wang Junkuo immediately sent 8000 cavalrymen from Yinghefu to escort the [-] people back to Yan Yeliebu Yazhang by the Wuhou Qinshui. direction of pursuit.

After waiting for a day, the former army encountered a group of Shiwei cavalry.

When the former armies of the two sides encountered each other, the Shidexi cavalry quickly defeated this group of Shiwei cavalry and captured dozens of enemy cavalry.

Wang Junkuo inspected the dozens of captive cavalry from the Shiwei tribe, and heard from Bo Erhan that these people belonged to the southern Shiwei. Right now, there are five divisions in Shiwei, and the other four are stationed in the north, and in the mountains. Among them, only the Nanshi Weiju is the strongest, and they often travel south to nomads, and have contacts with the Khitan, Xi clan, Yu people, and even the Han people as far away as Huaihuang Town.

The Nanshi Wei tribe is further divided into 25 tribes, and the chiefs of each tribe call themselves Yu Mofu.

At present, the Wei tribe of Nanshi has surrendered to the Turks, and the Turks have sent three Tutuns to govern, directly under the control of the little Khan Tuli.
