After Xu Chu returned to Xu's Wubao, he immediately sent people to explore near Qiao County. He wanted to see which force owned such a northern stallion!

This kind of horse is rare in Yuzhou in ten years. There is no one who can bring stallion to Yuzhou. Looking at Yuzhou, there is no doubt that this must be a foreign force.

Xu Chu didn't think it was difficult to investigate.

After all, these days, it’s not just about having money that you can get excellent stallions from the north. You have to have very good connections.

This kind of channel is not something that ordinary people can have. In Xu Chu's view, it is impossible for the southern forces to have Huma... If nothing else happens, it will most likely be the northern forces.

The next day, the spies from the Xu clan returned to Wubao and told Xu Chu what they had discovered.

After an inspection by spies from the Xu clan, it was learned that in the northeast of Qiao County, there was an elite cavalry group with about a thousand people and horses, which had just entered the territory of Pei State three days ago.

After inquiring, Xu's scouts learned that the cavalry was a branch of the Youbeiping Army in western Liaoning, and that the general at the head was Gongsun Yue, the younger brother of Jihou Gongsun Zan.

When Gongsun Yue came to Yuzhou, his soldiers led more than a thousand extremely strong northern war horses, and among these majestic war horses, there were also many majestic Hu horses.

When he learned that Gongsun Yue had led Qianqi to enter the country, Xu Chu was basically sure who did it.

Judging from the current situation, this is almost a certainty.

Northern War Stallions were rare to see in Yuzhou for ten years. Now Gongsun of Youbeiping led more than a thousand of Northern fine war horses into Peidi. It was at this time that this happened by chance.

thing……

If it wasn't that Gongsun Yue was incompetent in running the army, what else could it be?

Besides, how can anyone get the excellent horses in the North? Looking at the forces in Yuzhou, besides Gongsun Yue, who else can have them?

In Xu Chu's view, Zhou Ang, Bao Xin, Liu Qi and others who were in Yuzhou at this time couldn't do it even if they wanted to frame Gongsun Yue.

Could it be that the forces that control the border counties in the north are fools and would give this rare stallion to other forces to strengthen the other party's team for nothing?

And the southern forces, who have obtained these rare horses in ten years, will deliberately abandon these horses... just to fool him, a local powerful?

No matter how he thought about it, Xu Chu felt that all the hypotheses were completely impossible.

The truth of this matter can be seen at a glance.

It was the northern forces that did it!

At the moment, Yuzhou is just a northern border county force, and that is Gongsun Yue.

…

The next day, Xu Chu sent an envoy to visit Gongsun Yue at his camp.

He said it was a visit, but in fact he sent someone to question Gongsun Yue and ask him for an explanation.

Why do your rangers want to kill my people?

The certified physical evidence, horses, bows, and bows are all there, what else can you say?

As a powerful man in Qiao County, Xu Chu was powerful and well-known throughout Huairu. He was a powerful local snake. When he sent people to ask questions, ordinary people would naturally not refuse to give him face.

But in Gongsun Yue's eyes, Xu Chu was not worth his salt.

The Gongsun family in western Liaoning is a large family in Youzhou. After two thousand stone gates, the Gongsun family's descendants are spread throughout the counties in Youzhou. Both family power and political influence are resounding throughout the north. In the border counties, there are almost no families.

Can be compared with Gongsun.

A powerful figure like Xu Chu may be like a god in the eyes of Yuzhou people, but in the eyes of a noble family member like Gongsun Yue, a person like Xu Chu is not even qualified to talk to him.

After hearing the envoy sent by Xu Chu question him, Gongsun Yue couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

What are you?

He didn't bother to explain to the envoy, and simply ordered someone to drag him out and give him twenty lashes, and then drove him out of the camp.

The messenger returned to Xu Clan Wubao with scars on his face.

Xu Chu couldn't help but became furious when he saw this.

Although Gongsun's reputation is great in Youzhou, this is Qiao County after all, not Youbeiping. So how could Gongsun Yue dare to be so presumptuous?

So, Xu Chu gathered thousands of elite soldiers from his clan and left Wubao to block Gongsun's westward path.

Gongsun Yue was now eager to go to Runan County to help Zhang Xun and others defeat the enemy, but he never thought that Xu Chu would send someone to block his way.

It’s clear that he wants to be his enemy.

Gongsun Yue's temper also rose!

It wouldn't matter if Liu Qi, Huang Zu, Zhou Ang, Bao Xin, Liu Dai and others came to stop him. In Gongsun Yue's view, these people were either governors or county guards. In terms of strength and status, they were on the same level as his family.

On the horizontal line, you can definitely fight...

The question is, who is this Xu Chu?

How dare a powerful man from Qiao County, who doesn't even have an official position, dare to be so presumptuous?

If you don't let him teach him a lesson, I'm afraid this guy really doesn't know what dignity is! He really doesn't know how much he weighs.

Gongsun Yue saw that Xu Chu's soldiers were blocking the way, and without saying anything to him, he directly ordered his elite knights to form an attack formation and speed up the march.

If Xu Chu's people still refuse to give way, no matter whether they are county soldiers, robbers, or the people of Guizhou... they will all be killed without mercy!

The cavalry under the Gongsun family in western Liaoning fought in the north all year round, and their combat effectiveness was naturally beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers. Although the Xu family's private army was large in number, it did not have much cavalry, and most of them were infantry.

Gongsun Yue's cavalry used only one charge to cut thousands of Xu's soldiers into two pieces, instantly disrupting their formation.

While charging, the Youzhou cavalry thrust with spears, diffused with long bows, and slashed with sabers, splashing bursts of blood mist among the ranks of the Xu clan.

When they were in the North, they often slaughtered Xianbei tribes like this. They had long been accustomed to it. Even though they were civilians, for them, the more they killed, the smoother their path to promotion would be.

Most of the private troops of the Xu clan were infantry. Facing the majestic Youzhou war horses, they had no power to fight back. Many of them were knocked away or shot with spears before they could even see the appearance of the horsemen and knights.

After falling to the ground, he was trampled back and forth...

Xu Chu himself was very brave. With a long-handled sword, he cut down many Youzhou cavalry warriors one after another.

But no matter how good he was in fighting, it was only a one-man effort. Facing the enemy's powerful and well-armed Youzhou warriors, Xu Chu was helpless and looked at the enemy with excitement.

Fortunately, Gongsun Yue had no intention of slaughtering all the Xu clan soldiers. His key goal was to break through the enemy's defense line.

After breaking through the Xu clan's formation, Gongsun Yue did not organize his troops to return to attack the Xu clan's soldiers. Instead, he continued to drive towards Ru River and met with Zhang Xun, thus giving the Xu clan's private soldiers a chance to breathe.

But even so, Xu Chu's team still suffered heavy casualties.

After counting, Gongsun Yue's mere attack caused huge losses to Xu Chu's troops. The Youzhou cavalry killed more than 400 Xu Chu's troops, and injured countless others.

…

An County, Liu Qi's camp.

"The Gongsun family's cavalry in western Liaoning is really powerful. A thousand fine cavalrymen defeated thousands of Xu Chu's men in one fell swoop... They are indeed worthy of their reputation."

Zhang Ren stood beside Liu Qi and said: "Master Fu, the scouts reported that after Gongsun Yue defeated Xu Chu, he led his cavalry to the north of Ru River to meet with Zhang Xun and Lei Bo. What should our army do now?"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "The main purpose of my coming to Runan to fight against Yuan Yuan is to confuse the other party and make them think that I am competing for Yuzhou with them. In this way, I can also find an opportunity to go to Lujiang to meet Liu Yao. I was defeated in the previous battle."

Yuan Shu, the momentum is sufficient. Now you can ask Huang Fujun to guard An County. Deep ditches and high fortresses will not engage the opponent for the time being. I will lead a small number of soldiers to Lujiang County to welcome Liu Yao here."

Dianwei asked curiously: "I heard from the master, maybe there is a letter from Mancheng back?"

Liu Qi said: "Yes, I received a letter from Mancheng yesterday. He has already persuaded Liu Ye, and now the two of them are heading to Lujiang to meet Lu Kang. If nothing unexpected happens, this matter will happen.

"

Zhang Rendao: "If Fu Jun wants to go to Lujiang and Runan, I don't know if Huang Fu Jun alone can stop the troops of the two Yuans? But what should we do?"

Liu Qi said very seriously: "I will go talk to Uncle Huang and give him some advice so that he can properly defend us against the two Yuan armies in Runan."

At that moment, Liu Qi led his generals to visit Huang Zu and explained his opinions to him.

Huang Zu did not object when he heard this. He just asked Liu Qi: "Since my nephew wants to go to Lujiang, then Huang will go with you. Why do you have to divide the army into two groups and let me stay in Runan?"

Liu Qi said: "The purpose of keeping my uncle in Runan is to confuse the generals under the second Yuan and make them think that we are aiming at Yuzhou and not to pay attention to Liu Yao. Therefore, even if I leave, my uncle must not leave."

."

Huang Zu thought for a while and secretly said that what Liu Qi said was indeed reasonable, and then asked: "Xian Nephew, in your opinion, if Huang stays in Runan, once the two Yuans come to attack, will Huang fight or not?"

Liu Qi thought seriously for a while and then said: "Our previous defeat of Chen Lan and Qiao Rui has frightened Yuan Shu's army. Even if Gongsun Yue led a thousand cavalry to reinforce him, most of Yuan's army's warships

They are all captured by us. My uncle can lock all these warships in the dock of An County and use the city to defend them, so as to remain unchanged in response to any changes. I think after the previous battle, Zhang Xun and others saw the strength of our army.

With their strength, they will not attack easily again. Although Gongsun Yue's cavalry is strong, if there are not enough warships to cross the Ru River, there will be nothing we can do for a while. I can't wait... It is estimated that Zhang Xun and Gongsun Yue will choose to go north to fight with them in the end.

Bao Xin, Liu Dai and others fight against each other."

Huang Zu nodded suddenly: "Huang understands... My nephew, don't worry, Huang is sitting here. My nephew, just save Liu Yao with peace of mind. Huang is stationed in An County and will never interact with others at will."

Fight."

Liu Qi looked at Huang Zu quietly and suddenly asked: "May I ask my uncle, what should I do if Zhang Xun and Gongsun Yue find enough warships and cross the river to fight our army?"

Huang Zu said proudly: "Gather all the troops to attack us."

"What if Bao Xin, Zhou Ang, Liu Dai and others also arrive?"

The arrogance on Huang Zu's face did not diminish: "I divided my troops into two groups to attack the enemy!"

Liu Qi sighed after hearing this.

"Uncle, if you act like this, within ten days, all the soldiers in Jiangxia County will be reduced to powder."

"What about that?" Huang Zu asked doubtfully.

"Uncle, in An County, don't fight Zhang Xun, Bao Xin, Gongsun Yue and others at will. If you really want to fight, you have to wait until you join forces with two local powerful men."

"Which two are powerful?"
