Liu Qi hurriedly ordered the guard named Huo Jun to be sent to his bed.

This guard was extremely young, looking about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Of course, what shocked Liu Qi was not his age, but the injuries on his body and his name.

After Liu Qi had Huo Jun placed on his bed, he immediately sent for a medical officer to carefully treat Huo Jun's injuries.

Huo Jun was a little scared at first and refused, but Liu Qi insisted on letting him lie down on his bed.

The medical officer carefully examined every wound on Huo Jun's body and applied medicine to bandage it. During this period, Huo Jun told Liu Qi everything he had discovered in the valley.

"It turns out that there is another road leading to the end of the valley, and it is not a direct one... It seems that those Liangzhou people are much more familiar with the terrain than we are."

At this time, the medical officer was applying herbal medicine to the wounds on Huo Jun's back. The wounds were quite deep, and the bones were already visible. If not treated in time, the consequences would be serious.

"Hi~~! It hurts!" Huo Jun grinned.

The medical officer said helplessly: "There is nothing you can do about the pain. You have to endure it. Your wound is too deep. If you don't handle it well, it will cause serious damage and even the gods will not be able to save you."

The so-called golden fever refers to tetanus.

"How is the person who hurt you doing?" Liu Qi sat opposite Huo Jun's bed and asked him with concern.

Huo Jun gritted his teeth and said: "The other party is a scout from that army. There are three of them. They wanted to kill me... but they were killed by my subordinates instead!"

"How were the bodies disposed of?"

"Thrown him under the cliff, their horses blinded his eyes, whipped him with a whip, and drove him off the cliff."

Liu Qi sighed with emotion and said: "You were able to handle the matter so well when you were seriously injured and rushed back to me overnight to report to me. It takes a person with great perseverance to do this."

After saying that, Liu Qi turned to Zhang Yun and asked: "Huo Jun, when did you recruit him to the Guards Department?"

Zhang Yun scratched his head and said softly: "Your Majesty, there are thousands of people in the Guards Department, how can the junior officials remember when they were recruited one by one?"

At this moment, I heard Huo Jun lament: "General Zhang, you have forgotten that the elder brother of the official is Huo Du, a native of Zhijiang, Nanjun! Earlier, my brother and I went to your house to see you off..."

Before he could even say the word "property", Zhang Yun suddenly came to his senses.

He hurriedly interrupted Huo Jun and said: "Your Majesty, I have remembered that this person is from the Huo family in Zhijiang County, Nanjun. His brother Huo Du is well-known in the countryside and is a powerful person. In the first year of Chuping,

At that time, there were hundreds of tribes in the countryside, and their momentum was not small. Later, he returned to Liu Jingzhou and was appointed as the commander of another department by Liu Jingzhou. Now he is under the command of Huang Zhong. Na Huo Du was a heroic and loyal man.

The last general got to know each other and recommended his younger brother and the most talented people in the clan to join the Guard Bureau. The last general saw that the children of the Huo family were all good people and could be molded, so he called them into the Guard Bureau."

Liu Qi snorted when he heard this and did not answer Zhang Yun's question.

Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that Zhang Yun accepted Huo Du's gift and then arranged all the Huo family's disciples under the guard department.

But thinking about it carefully, Huo Du was smart. He realized that the Guards Department must be the most important organization in Jingzhou, so he simply arranged for the children from his family to join them first. After a few years, these children would have the qualifications to make meritorious deeds.

If he spends more money to secure military careers for them in the Guards Agency, wouldn't he be able to strengthen the Huo family's reputation out of thin air?

Liu Qi looked at Huo Jun and said: "Huo Jun, you have made great achievements this time, how do you want me to reward you?"

Huo Jun said hurriedly: "My subordinates just performed their duties, how dare they talk about rewards."

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. This is the rule in our army. How can we not abide by it? Well, you come out of the guard station, go to Jingwu's army, serve as the commander of the camp, and follow me."

Huo Jun didn't expect that Liu Qi would keep him by his side, and he couldn't help but feel very grateful.

Anyone with a bit of brains knows that Liu Qi deliberately placed himself beside him for promotion.

Huo Jun was on the bed at that time, thanking Liu Qi profusely and expressing his gratitude.

…

At the same time, on the other side of the cliff valley, Candidate, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng and others have learned that Liu Qi's army has arrived here.

They met all night to discuss how to fight.

"Have all the scouts sent out come back?" the candidate asked.

His men said: "Most of them have returned, but there are still a few who have not arrived."

The candidate waved his hands casually and said: "Forget it, since we have found out the movements of the Jingzhou Army, we don't have to wait any longer... Everyone, should we attack overnight and catch him off guard, or should we ambush him here?"

, waiting for Liu Qi to come to your door?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all started to lower their heads and think carefully.

When he was young, he heard Yang Qiu say: "In my opinion, it is better to take the initiative. The Jingzhou army is resting outside the valley. They are in a hurry to return to Chang'an. They were harassed many times by Yan Xing in the previous trip. At this time, they must be

We are exhausted! With the help of cavalry, our army will emerge from the deep valley and win with a single blow!"

"Take the initiative?"

"Yes, if we wait here, if the front of the Jingzhou Army detects our situation and makes the army take precautions or change its route, wouldn't it be in vain if we rush here quickly?"

What Yang Qiu said made sense. After everyone discussed it carefully, they decided to send out troops immediately.

An hour later, the Xiliang army dispatched from their station!

They took advantage of the darkness and went straight to the Jingzhou Army on the other side of the valley road to attack and kill them.

Along the way, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Candidate and others kept boosting the morale of the three armies, paving the way for the upcoming attack.

"Sirs, after tonight's battle and the defeat of the Jingzhou Army, all the baggage captured, whether it is food or weapons, belongs to us!" he shouted loudly.

"After fighting the Jinggu, we will go to fight Chang'an!"

"Conquer the city of Chang'an and allow you three days of indulgence!"

"The treasures and women are all yours!"

The officers and soldiers of the three armies were extremely excited after being inspired by the leader, and the sound shook the valley.

"Let's go!" Yang Qiu waved his hand.

Xiliang cavalry is dispatched.

This valley is not close to the Wei River, so it is not taken seriously by people, but it leads to Chang'an, and taking this road from Mianzhu Road to Chang'an is the smoothest, even closer than taking the Wei River waterway. Candidate, Li Kan et al.

I had calculated this correctly, so I took a shortcut and ambush here.

The group of men and horses moved quickly and were about to reach the entrance of the valley. Yang Qiu spat hard and whispered: "Tonight, I will capture all the Jingzhou Army no matter what!"

As the Jingzhou Army got closer and closer, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army became extremely nervous.

But the tension also contains strong excitement.

The life of the Xiliang Army was too hard. After defeating the Jingzhou Army, the promised supplies they could get almost became the hope of life for them.

Especially after everything is done, you can go to Chang'an to relax for a few days.

Kill at will, rob at will, rape at will!

Just think about it, it’s like a magical day.

"Come with me!" As the candidates shouted, they saw the Xiliang army yelling one by one, suddenly speeding up and running quickly towards the outside of the valley.

Outside, there are a group of lambs that they can chew and tear at their will.

But things have changed!

"Marquis! Look! There are wooden stakes at the mouth of the valley!"

"What?"

"The Jingzhou army cut down trees and blocked the entrance of the valley!"

The muscles on the candidate's face were twitching back and forth. It was too dark and he was still far away, so he couldn't see the situation clearly for a moment.

"Is the Jing Dog on guard?" the candidate said angrily.

Yang Qiu rushed up on horseback: "It seems that the people in Jingzhou are on guard. This is not good. How about... let's retreat first?"

At this moment, a clear voice sounded from the high slope opposite.
