.    Chapter 109 Gyeongju 5

    It took about half an hour to arrive from Ruan.

    He heard from Tuhun soldiers that Han Yi only brought a dozen personal guards into the camp of the Niu Killers, and there was no good news from Chenshi until Weishi. He could only hear the noise of people from the Niu Killers, and he couldn't help but feel worried.  He was afraid of rats and had to quietly deploy his troops to prepare for any eventuality.

    ¡°When there is no bad news, that¡¯s good news.  Zhe Deming thus comforted Zhe Congruan.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Although the damn snow was floating in the sky again, it was probably sunset. Zhe Congruan saw Han Yi coming here surrounded by people from the Slaughtered Niu tribe.

    He was determined.

    "Your Majesty, Han is fortunate to have lived up to his command."

    Han Yi stepped forward to pay his respects. In front of the guide of the Killing Niu tribe, he roughly explained how he had persuaded Tuoba Xiong and how he and Tuoba Xiong had sworn brothers with different surnames.

    Zhe Congruan interrupted Han Yi's reply. He hugged Han Yi's arms a little awkwardly and said emotionally:

    "How can I obey Ruan He De? How can I work with such a heroic and wise man as Han Hou? Please accept my respect."

    There are not many people in the world who can make Ruan Zhencheng worship him, especially a rising star like Han Yi.  Han Yi quickly avoided the gesture and bowed solemnly, helping Zhe Cong Ruan up from the side:

    "Your Majesty is serious. Why should we care about matters within our scope? We have one thing to do right now, so our troops need to be quick. Han requested to march in the snow all night."

    "It's just what I want," he followed Ruan Zhengse, then turned to his subordinates and said, "Ningzhou Governor Zhang Jianwu violated our military laws. He is afraid of the crime and has not returned. The sons and daughters followed my commander and the Marquis of Han to arrest him in order to correct the military laws."

    ¡°Yes,¡± the subordinates agreed.

    The army was already exhausted, and the snow was deep and difficult to move, so it was conceivable that the march would be difficult.

    Fortunately, the guides of the Killing Ox Tribe were familiar with the geography and led the officers and soldiers to take shortcuts, thus avoiding many unnecessary mistakes.  Regardless of old age and frailty, Zhe followed Ruan as the vanguard. After Han Yi died, the two leaders led their horses and walked like ordinary foot soldiers. Along the way, the two of them kept boosting morale, greeted the soldiers, and shared joys and sorrows.  Zhe Congruan ordered Zhe Deming to set up a resting place every ten miles and prepare hot meat soup in advance for the officers and soldiers to ward off the cold and wrap their bellies.

    Although it was snowing heavily that night, the march of thousands of men and horses went surprisingly smoothly. The morale of the officers and soldiers was quite proud of Zhe Cong Ruan.  As the saying goes:

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Rushing to kill Niuling, the heavenly soldiers descending from the sky to shock the enemy¡¯s courage

    In the early morning, the snow stopped.

    Zhang Jianwu, the governor of Ningzhou, regretted it very much. At this time, he did not know the serious consequences of robbing and killing cattle tribesmen. In his mind, robbing a few cattle and sheep, killing a few Tibetan people or other people was purely ordinary.  It was a trivial matter. What he regretted was that because he was greedy for the cattle property of the cattle-killing tribe, he was blocked by the heavy snow on his way back, so he had to wait for the weather to clear.

    Previously, Zhang Jianwu was ordered to patrol the area where the Tibetan tribes lived together, which was not a good job.  In this cold winter month, who wouldn't want to hug my concubine's fragrant and soft body and huddle under the warm quilt and be happy?

    Thinking of this, Zhang Jianwu missed Hou Zhang, the former military governor of the Jingnan Army. He was so carefree and carefree at that time. Now he has come from Ruan to serve as the military governor. He can't afford to offend him if he doesn't get enough money and salt.  The dignified governor also had to run around in the mountains and fields all day long.  First hair

    There is a saying that the snow is not cold but the snow is cold, but when the sky clears up, it feels even colder. The sunlight rising over the continuous Xianniu Ridge is lifeless, as if the sun has also been cooled by this severe cold.

    We must leave today, otherwise we will freeze to death and starve to death in the wilderness.  The dry food he brought with him when he was ordered to go on patrol has been exhausted, and even the cattle and sheep that were stolen have been divided up by his subordinates - meat is more popular than usual during this season.

    Zhang Jianwu thought so.

    But it was too late. The snow-bright light occasionally cast down from the mountains dimmed the sunlight and made the snowfield seem to tremble. This was clearly the dazzling light of a broken weapon.

    Zhe Congruan's army has quietly occupied the surrounding highlands, surrounding Zhang Jianwu in the valley, making it difficult for him to fly.

    "Uncle, please give me the order"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Be eager to try, eager to make achievements.

    "No, everyone is tired. Give me the order. The state soldiers bury pots to make rice and rest. They are not allowed to move around. I, the soldiers of the Zhe family, are on guard. They will rotate after an hour." Zhe Congruan gave the first order.

    Although Zhe Deming was very disappointed, thinking that the whole army was tired from continuous marching, this was a safe way, so he went down to issue military orders.

    The state soldiers were busy preparing military food, while the tooth soldiers quickly found a place that was sheltered from the wind and sunny and could put the entire valley in front of them to set up their tents.  At this time in the past, Li Chuyun of the dental school was the busiest, and today this responsibility was taken over by Han Yi.

    General Han YiZhe Congruan helped him sit under a foldable marching couch, feeling tired.

    "I'm really exhausted this time. If I hadn't been forced to stand in front of all the troops, I really wanted to lie down in the snow and get it over with." Zhe Congruan laughed at himself.

    Han Yi could see that although Zhe Congruan was exhausted, he was in excellent spirits and said with a smile:

    "Ling Gong is sure of victory, so it's worth the effort."

    "I don't like to hear what Zizhong said. What do you mean I am sure of winning? It should be you and me who are sure of winning. Don't be so jealous." Ruan Zuose pretended to be angry and said, "Without you, Han Zizhong was not afraid of danger and persuaded him personally.  Live in Tuobaxiong, so what if I win this battle? Without you inviting the Killing Cow Clan guide, how could I arrive at Killing Bull Ridge so quickly? Without your assistance in boosting morale, these thousands of people would have marched in the snow.  , how can it not be lost and separated?"

    Zhe Congruan now admires Han Yi very much and is full of respect.

    "What your majesty taught me is that you and I are sure to win," Han Yi said quickly.

    The sudden appearance of the army and more than ten folded banners caused great panic among the Ningzhou soldiers in the valley.  Zhang Jianwu was still stubborn. He sent people to find out why Ruan came here, but the answer he got made him regret it endlessly.

    "According to the order of Duke Jun, I only asked the culprit, not the rest."

    The soldiers on the mountain ridge shouted in unison.

    There is no regret in the world. Zhang Jianwu forced himself to calm down and shouted at his subordinates who were busy in a group:

    "Don't be timid. Zhe Congruan has surrounded us here. It is clear that he wants us all to be buried here. Is there any way to survive? Don't listen to the instigation of the mountain. At this time, we need a heart, and maybe some  A way out."

    The tooth soldiers were all Zhang Jianwu's minions, and they usually received his favor. Seeing Zhe Cong's formation, they knew they had no way to survive, and they all used this to intimidate the ordinary soldiers in Ningzhou who had no independent opinions.

    Zhe Congruan was not in a hurry to attack. While the valley was busy, he strictly ordered his subordinates to seize the time to take turns eating and resting to build up their strength. As Han Yi judged, he was sure to win this battle.

    "Kill"

    Zhang Jianwu drove the Ya soldiers to rush up the mountain. The snow was knee deep, which seriously hindered the progress of the Ya soldiers. The Zhejia soldiers on the mountains were condescending and had free time to shoot arrows downwards.

    The Ningzhou tooth soldiers seemed to be stuck in a muddy pond and became living targets.  The arrows flew across the snowfield, and with the roar of the cold wind, they rushed towards the squirming crowd in the valley.  Immediately afterwards, the blood dyed the snow beneath him red, and it was as if a large dyeing workshop had been opened one after another. The colors were extremely monotonous and strong.

    The killing battlefield was one-sided from the very beginning.

    The Tuhun soldiers led by Bai Ruhu paid close attention to the battlefield and responded to the changing situation in the valley.  He was glad that he was not on the rebellious side. He looked back at Han Yi, who was actually commanding the battle, and wished that Han Yi would order him to rush down the valley.

    Wearing a large cloak, Han Yi stood on a high hill, his eyes even occasionally drifting away from the battlefield.  Zhe Congruan Ze squatted on the ground, warming his hands by the fire, not even thinking of looking back at the battlefield.

    "Zhe Deming, I heard that all the children of the Zhe family are masters of magic. Can you give me a certificate?" Han Yi asked loudly.

    "Back to the Marquis, I would like to invite you to watch the battle," Zhe Deming replied proudly.

    Han Yi smiled slightly, pointed his riding whip at Bai Ruhu and said, "The Tuhun people are known as the best in riding and shooting. They are unwilling to be second to others. They just don't know who is higher or lower than the children of the Zhe family who grew up outside the Great Wall."

    Bai Ruhu immediately raised his chest and replied: "I would like to compete with brother Zhe."

    "Strong shooting skills are not just general remarks. It's better to do this. Each side chooses fifty with better shooting skills. Each team will form five pieces and choose the shooting site. However, they are not allowed to cross the ridge and go down the mountain. After this battle, kill them with shooting.  The one with more thieves will win." Han Yi turned to ask Zhe Cong Ruan and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how lucky this is"

    "The winner will receive two levels of salary," Zhe Congruan said firmly.

    ¡°The order was obtained¡± and both parties responded with a bang.

    Han Yi's impromptu initiative and the encouragement in front of the formation caused the Ningzhou soldiers who desperately attacked to suffer a disaster.

    The mechanically squirming Ningzhou soldiers were driven to find a way out. The endless sharp arrows on the mountains were so accurate that it made people collapse. Each iron arrow had eyes and went straight to the target, mercilessly destroying lives.

    The soldier who was hit by the arrow fell on the snow, but did not die immediately, moaning and crying.

    The counter-rebellion troops under Ruan's command were eager to end the war. The sharpshooters occupied an absolutely favorable terrain. As long as the Ningzhou rebels dared to approach, they would use their sharp arrows to repel them. When the rebels retreated,  Returning to the valley, they rested on the spot and had no intention of stepping into the valley.

    ¡°?"His shooting killed thirty-seven enemy soldiers"

    "The Tuhun soldiers shot and killed forty-five enemy soldiers"

    ¡­¡­

    "The Zhe family killed one hundred and seventy-five enemies"

    "The Tuhun soldiers killed one hundred and seventy-three enemies"

    The messengers rushed into the commander's tent like water and reported the number of enemies killed and the results of the competition to Zhe Congruan and Han Yi.

    "Tell Bai Ruhu that I have placed a big bet on him and ordered him to protect my property. If I win, he will have his share. If I lose, he will have his share even more." Han Yi scolded the scout.

    Zhe Cong Ruan Ze stopped the messenger and laughed heartily:

    "Haha, tell Deming, too, that I have made a big bet on him and asked him to protect the reputation of our Zhe family."

    Zhe Congruan and Han Yi were sitting firmly in the central military tent, as if strolling in the courtyard, and the results of the two sides in the competition immediately skyrocketed.

    The Ningzhou rebels couldn't stand the feeling of being prisoners at their mercy. The Ningzhou soldiers dropped their weapons in groups of twos and threes and deliberately stayed away from Zhang Jianwu and his tooth soldiers. They cleverly surrendered early and were captured without a fight.

    "Come on, as long as you rush out, this governor's wealth will be yours."

    Zhang Jianwu shouted crazily.

    The tooth soldiers stopped and turned to stare at Zhang Jianwu, like hungry wolves seeing a lamb.  Zhang Jianwu's heart shrank suddenly and he asked sternly:

    "What are you going to do?"

    "Zhang Shijun, you have also seen that it is not that we are unwilling to serve, but that we are not strong enough. We are like a chariot with a mantis' arms. Are we able to compete with Duke Ling and the Marquis of Han? The right way is to fly separately when disaster strikes, for the sake of our own character  Life, we would like to borrow something from the envoy." Youya Bing bravely said.

    "What is it?" Zhang Jianwu's face instantly turned white.

    "I'll lend you the head on your neck." The tooth soldiers approached with their knives in hand.

    "No" Zhang Jianwu shouted hysterically.

    But he could no longer scream, and he could no longer think about returning to Ningzhou and being happy with his concubine in his arms.  The tooth soldiers swarmed up and chopped him into countless pieces, and some even killed each other in order to get his big head.

    A dozen more corpses were added out of thin air in the heavy snow.

    "When I attack Zhang Jianwu, it's not like we are killing each other. We are all officials of the imperial court, and they live on the emperor's salary. I won't be happy if I win."

    Zhe Congruan later commented.
