A carefully selected group of Khitan wolf riders, numbering about five thousand in number, quietly left the Khitan camp under the cover of night and headed toward Zhaozhou in the southwest. These five thousand people were Yeluji.
The most elite soldiers selected from an army of 200,000 people had only one purpose for their trip, which was to catch up with Liu Ling's team heading to Zhaozhou and kill him even if they had to pay the price of annihilating the entire army of 5,000 men.
This may be the largest death operation in history. These five thousand Khitan most elite and brave warriors were determined to die when they set out. They knew what their mission was this time, which was to go
To die, to exchange five thousand lives for one.
The leader of the cavalry is Tiemu Qiuge, who is known as the first Khitan warrior.
Tiemu Qiuge once won twenty-seven consecutive competitions in the military competition arena in Beijing. Whether it was archery, swordsmanship, equestrian skills or close combat, he did not encounter any opponent in that competition.
. He rose like a comet back then, making the once proud warriors in the Khitan army bow their heads deeply.
That year, Tiemu Qiuge was just an ordinary soldier in the imperial army. The first opponent he defeated on the stage was the captain of the thousand-man team he was in. When he won, he
Without hesitation, he crushed the throat bone of the commander with one foot. The reason was very simple, because the commander had whipped him twenty times for no reason a few days ago. Even beating someone to death in the ring was not allowed.
Yes, but maybe it was because he was too strong and killed the arrogant captain in just two moves. Therefore, the second prince Yelu Deguang, who hosted the martial arts competition, did not let the law enforcement team go up to arrest the person, but announced
He advances to the next round of competition.
The captain struck first, with a powerful punch that directly hit his throat. If the punch was a real blow, there is no doubt that the person who had his throat bone broken was the one who clung to the wood in search of a song.
Tiemu Qiuge also punched, hitting the commander's fist with one punch. Immediately, the commander's arm was broken in the opposite direction of the joint. The white bones penetrated through the flesh, as if they were cut off.
Then Tiemu Qiuge's fist was unabated, and he punched the commander's chest. This punch directly made a deep hole in the chest of the commander, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken.
What is certain is that when Tie Muqiu Ge stepped on the commander's throat, the commander had already died due to a broken heart.
In this way, Tiemu Qiuge killed the first person in the ring, and because of Yelu Deguang's love for talents, he had the opportunity to enter the next round of competition. What people didn't expect was that the commander was not him.
The last person he killed in the ring. If he had a personal grudge with the captain and it was excusable to kill him in revenge, then he would not kill most of the fourteen people he killed in the next twenty-seven matches.
know.
Such a person won twenty-seven games in a row and killed fourteen competitors. He had obviously committed a mortal crime, but Yelu Deguang insisted on saving him. Although Yelu Deguang was the second prince, this competition was
The rule of not trading lives was set by Ye Luxiongji. Therefore, it was the Khitan Emperor who finally spared Tiemu Qiuge's life.
Yelu Deguang brought Tiemu Qiuge to see Yelv Xiongji after the competition. Although Yelv Xiongji was far away and perhaps could not see Tiemu Qiuge clearly, Tiemu Qiuge used his own ability to win the victory for himself.
A chance to live.
"Please don't kill me, Your Majesty. I will kill more people on Your Majesty's behalf to compensate for the sins I have committed."
"Show me your killing ability."
Yelu Xiongji sat on the large chair covered with tiger skin and said something calmly.
"good!"
Stick up the wood and ask for songs.
He asked for a bow and ten wolf fang arrows. Then someone set up a target unexpectedly at 150 steps. Then he shot out the ten wolf fang arrows in less than a minute, each time.
Every arrow hit the red heart. Then he mounted his horse and used a wooden knife to cut off the twelve Golden Horde guards who were fighting him. Unexpectedly, he actually stabbed one of the Golden Horde guards with a wooden knife in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
belly.
Then amidst the wails of the golden tent guard, he bent down and picked up one of the heavy stone lions outside the golden tent. Then he walked seven steps, leaving deep footprints on the ground with each step.
.
"It's really a good idea."
This was the second sentence Yelu Xiongji said, and the third sentence poured a basin of ice-cold water on Yelu Deguang's passionate heart for seeking talents as he looked at Tiemu Qiuge.
.
"Go to Youzhou and serve as a bodyguard beside Prince Yeluji. It won't be a disgrace to your abilities."
After saying this, His Majesty Yelu Xiongji stood up and left without even looking back. He seemed not to see the deep disappointment and confusion in his second son's eyes at all, and he did not feel Yelu De at all.
Guang only admired and loved Tiemu Qiuge. At that time, Yelu Deguang couldn't figure out why His Majesty the talent he had discovered was sent to his eldest brother with just one sentence. That was the person he had saved under pressure, so why did he succeed instead?
That brother who lives far away in Youzhou?
At that time, he thought that His Majesty still loved his elder brother more, no, a lot more. That's why he sent such a tiger general to Yeluji, but he only ended up with a reputation of being eager for talents, and besides, this reputation was still
It smelled of blood. Later, his confidant general Xiao Mi's words made him calm down a little.
"Your Majesty may have a deeper meaning in doing this."
"explain!"
"Why do you want to send the talents you discovered to Youzhou? Have you thought about it carefully?"
"Your Majesty cares more about eldest brother?!"
"Yes, Your Majesty is probably hoping that you, Your Majesty, will think so."
"Ah? Please make it clear!"
"Your Majesty... wants the king to fight with His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Mi said: "Your Majesty hopes that the conflict between the king and the prince will be greater, and he also hopes that the king can be stronger. As long as the king always has a dissatisfied heart towards the prince, then there will be pressure on the prince.
It will always be great. If the prince doesn't want to be replaced by the king, he must do better. The prince...can't live on your majesty's rewards. Even the guards around him have to be rewarded by your majesty. In fact, the prince's heart may be more
Isn’t it hard?”
Yelu Deguang figured out what Xiao Mi meant, so he... became even more resistant to the fact that Yelu Xiong sent Tiemu Qiuge to the prince. He even asked him face to face in the golden tent.
Father, why did the great Khitan Emperor do this? What he got in exchange was not the answer he wanted, but a whip. But after being whipped, Yelu Deguang was so angry after returning to his tent.
He was very happy and smiled very comfortably. That night, Yelu Xiongji gave him the golden sore medicine to heal his wounds, and the post of staying in Xijing.
But Yeluji didn't like to stick to wood and ask for songs.
Yelu Xiong sent Tiemu Qiuge to Youzhou, and there was no explicit intention for Yeluji to reuse him. He was not awarded any official position, and he was not even given the position of a corps commander. Therefore, Yeluji did not do anything to him.
Tiemu Qiuge did not behave like a virtuous corporal, but instead asked Tiemu Qiuge to guard the gate of Youzhou City. Moreover, he was also the most ordinary soldier.
Tiemu Qiuge did not seem angry or depressed about such treatment. After receiving the order, he grabbed his scimitar, carried his bow and arrows and went to the city gate to report. If there was anything unusual about him,
That is, when he arrived at the city gate, he beat the centurion who was bossing him into a pig's head. Then he knocked down more than thirty soldiers guarding the city gate by himself, and sat on the centurion's chair at the city gate waiting.
Yeluji sent people to arrest him.
After Yeluji knew about this, he just smiled and didn't show any anger at all, nor did he say a word. So no one went to Tiemu to ask for trouble, and he was still a soldier guarding the city gate.
It was only two years ago that Yeluji seemed to have remembered that there was such a tough soldier before he led his army south. He sent someone to transfer him back from the city gate and appointed him as a commander of the cavalry.
When Tiemu Qiuge left the city gate, the centurion who was guarding the gate sent someone to buy ten kilograms of fine wine, and ordered a banquet from the most famous restaurant in Youzhou to be delivered to his home. He got very drunk that night.
Runi. The past two years have been really hard on him.
Because all the generals in the Youzhou military knew that Tiemu Qiuge was a bodyguard given to His Majesty the Crown Prince. Although His Majesty the Crown Prince sent him to guard the city gate, no one would beat up the centurion for Tiemu Qiuge.
Of course, even if the centurion guarding the gate was beaten every day from that day on, no one would support him.
Tiemu Qiuge was promoted from a small cavalryman to the commander of Yeluji's personal camp just a month ago.
Because at the lake south of Cangzhou, the commander of his soldiers was shot to death by random arrows from the Han army. Because Tiemu Qiuge blocked thirteen arrows for him that day, he was able to escape under the protection of his soldiers.
. He thought that Tiemu Qiuge would die in the chaos. No one expected that in the afternoon of the next day, Tiemu Qiuge, covered in blood and with thirteen spiked arrows stuck in his body, would return to the camp by himself.
He is not dead, but he is really not far away from death.
After entering the camp gate of the Khitan camp, Tiemu Qiuge fell to the ground and passed out. It took the Khitan military doctor a whole hour to cut off all the leather armor stuck to his body and insert them into his body.
He took out the wolf fang arrows one by one. Then it took another two hours to wrap him up like a mummy and put him on the bed for rest. To be honest, those military doctors did not expect that more than a month later, the wooden body was
Qiu Ge can actually recover so well!
But I don’t know why, even though Tiemu Qiuge saved Yeluji’s life, he still didn’t like Tiemu Qiuge, so when Tiemu Qiuge took the initiative to lead his army to hunt down Liu Ling, Yeluji agreed without even thinking about it.
Already.
There are five thousand wolves on horseback, and the leader is a lone wolf covered in scars. (To be continued)
