On the way, Old Liu deliberately slowed down his pace. It took them more than an hour to reach the Wuhuan camp outside Lou Sang Village. It was already past ten o'clock at night.
Although it was late, torches were lit everywhere in the camp, illuminating it brightly. A few sentries stood on the watchtower of the camp, listlessly listening to the screams of women, the lewd laughter of the Wuhuan people, and the shouts of some people drinking and having fun. They thought of how others could hug the white and tender body of the burly woman and sleep in a warm bed, but they could only keep watch on this cold night. What was more infuriating was that those who had gone out to rob and return... They didn't know how to give themselves any benefits. The few of them cursed angrily from time to time.
They were getting closer and closer to the camp gate. Old Liu let Chi Liba walk in front, Yan Liang and Wen Chou followed him from the left and right, and Chu Yan followed closely behind him with a crossbow. Chi Liba, who had seen the power of the crossbow, did not dare to have any other thoughts. He muttered in his heart,"I can only let you down in order to survive, King Qiu Liju."
Seeing that someone had returned, the sentry quickly stood up straight and asked,"Who's back outside?"”
Old Liu gestured for Chi Liba to come forward and answer. At the same time, he stuffed a large bag of property into his hand and asked him to throw it to the sentry.
"It's me, Chi Liba," Chi Liba said hurriedly.”
The sentry recognized him and quickly went to open the door. He asked,"Did you guys gain a lot today?"
Chi Liba said," We were unlucky today. The village we went to didn't have much to offer. We were even ambushed by the hunters in the village. The women also ran away. Our crow general was even injured."”
The crow general was the leader of this group of Wuhuan cavalrymen. He had been killed by Old Liu and the others. After Chi Liba finished speaking, he threw the bag in his hand to the guard." This is for our brothers. Take it and share it."”
Finally, they had some gains. The few of them were happy and hurriedly went to divide the wealth. Old Liu and the others took the opportunity to enter the camp. Under Chi Liba's lead, they went straight to Qiu Liju's main tent.
There were Wuhuan soldiers patrolling the road from time to time. When they saw Chi Liba leading everyone to the central army, they asked around and found out that they lived near the central army, so they let them pass.
When they were less than 50 meters away from the main tent, Chi Liba pointed at a dozen tents on the left and said,"Sir, this is our tent. Are we going to move forward or enter the tent first?”
The security in front was tight. There were about 40 to 50 troops guarding the tent. From the sound of it, many Wuhuan people were still awake. Old Liu said,"Let's go into the tent first."
"Are there so many guards outside the Qiu Liju tent every night?" Old Liu asked after entering the tent.”
"No, after midnight, half of the people will go to rest. At that time, there will only be twenty guards.”
"Are there any guards in the tent?"
"No, the king will pick a few Han women to sleep with every day. How can he let others in?”
Old Liu thought about it and agreed. Who would let others watch while they were enjoying themselves?
Looking at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock. Old Liu instructed everyone to rest for a while and recover their energy. At twelve o'clock, they would attack on time.
In order to rush into the main tent faster and capture Qiu Liju, Old Liu arranged for Wen Chou to follow him and bring thirty people from…
Yan Liang, Chu Yan, and Lu Kuang each led twenty men to attack from the back, left, and right of the tent. This way, the twenty guards of Qiu Liju would be separated, making it easier to break in. Moreover, the tent was built with sheepskin and wood. The people from the other three directions did not need to enter through the tent door. They could just cut open the tent with their Zhanmadao. They had to capture Qiu Liju alive. If he resisted, they could shoot his legs with arrows if necessary, but they must not kill him. Otherwise, everyone would be buried with him.
Qiu Liju's personal guards were probably quite skilled. In order to reduce casualties, Old Liu had everyone approach the main tent and shoot with crossbows first, avoiding close combat as much as possible.
Finally, it was midnight. Old Liu led everyone and surrounded Qiu Liju's main tent in four directions.
Old Liu, who was attacking from the front, had Chi Liba walk side by side with him in front. Wen Chou and the thirty personal guards followed behind in a fan formation for easier shooting.
It was already midnight, but there were many torches in front of Qiu Liju's main tent. Although it was not as bright as daybreak, under the illumination of the torches, one could still see dozens of meters away.
When Old Liu and the others were about twenty meters away from the tent, a guard noticed them and asked,""Who is it?"
Chili Ba replied,"It's me, Chili Ba. I have a treasure to offer to the king."”
Although the guard recognized Chi Liba, he was still a little wary when he saw that he had brought so many people with him. He hurriedly shouted,"Stop, don't go any further. The king has already fallen asleep. If you have any treasures, you can offer them tomorrow.”
At this moment, Old Liu and the others were only a dozen meters away from the tent. Old Liu whispered,""Shoot!"
At such a close distance, dozens of crossbow bolts arrived in the blink of an eye. Before the poor guards could see what was going on, the crossbow bolts had already hit their chests. Those who were lucky enough to survive hurriedly shouted,"Assassins!"
Just as he finished shouting, he was shot to the ground by the second round of arrows.
At that moment, Old Liu was the first to rush to the tent. He kicked open the tent door and rushed in. At the same time, Yan Liang, Chu Yan, and Lu Kuang also rushed in from three directions.
Qiu Liju was very happy tonight. He had gained a lot of grains, livestock, gold, silver and treasures over the past 10 days.'F * ck, the Han Dynasty is really rich. We've already made such a great harvest before entering the city. There must be more things in the city. When I come here next year, I have to make some siege weapons such as ramming ladders.'
After drinking with a few generals in the camp and venting his beast desires on the Han beauties selected by his subordinates, the exhausted Qiu Liju had already fallen asleep like a dead pig. Seeing that he had fallen asleep, a few Han women hurriedly put on their clothes and hid in a corner of the tent to cry.
The tent was brightly lit, and the people who came in immediately saw the situation inside.
Although Old Liu was the first to enter the tent, because Qiu Liju's bed was close to the back of the tent, Yan Liang, who came in from the back, was the closest to Qiu Liju. Seeing that he was still sleeping, Yan Liang went up and pulled him up, dragged him to Old Liu and threw him on the ground.
He ordered Yan Liang to arrange for the personal guards to be on alert around the tent. He wondered if the guard's shout before his death would wake up the surrounding Wuhuan soldiers.
Although it wasn't very cold in the tent, the light…
Qiu Liju's body was still trembling. What was going on? He was sleeping when he was dragged up and thrown to the ground. His body hurt. Could it be that his general was rebelling? That's impossible. I've always treated them well and given them countless gifts. I've also given them all the women I've played with. Who could it be?
He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Old Liu standing in front of him. He looked at his clothes and saw that they were his soldiers, but why had he not seen these people before?
After all, he was the Wuhuan King, and he had survived all these years of fighting and killing. Qiu Liju stood up and pointed at Old Liu."Who are you? How dare you ambush me? There are 20,000 of my troops outside. Do you want to die?”
Old Liu and the others wanted to laugh when they saw him pointing his fingers around naked. Thinking that they still had to negotiate with him, Old Liu asked Lu Kuang to bring him some clothes and let him put them on.
At this moment, the people outside were shouting and horses neighing. Many Wuhuan soldiers, led by Qiu Liju's nephew Tadun, rushed in and surrounded the tent. However, knowing that the king was inside, they didn't dare to shoot and only shouted to scare the crowd.
Qiu Liju put on his clothes. When he heard that his people had arrived outside, he became more confident. He looked at Old Liu and said,"Who are you people? What's your purpose in capturing me?”
Old Liu said," You don't live in your own territory, but you come to my territory to burn, kill, and rob. As long as you're a citizen of my Great Han, I won't let you do whatever you want. I'm Liu Bei of Zhuo County. These are my generals and servants. You've been captured by me, so what else do you have to say?"”
"You're just trying to stab me in the back. You're not a hero to ambush me when I'm not prepared. If you really meet me on the battlefield, how can you be so arrogant? Since you've already captured me, you can kill me or cut me up, but you can forget about escaping from my camp.”
Old Liu knew that the Wuhuan people had always advocated martial arts and respected heroes. He thought to himself,"Since that's the case, I'll think of a way to make you admit your defeat before negotiating with you."
"Since you say that you Wuhuan men are invincible, I don't think so. How about this? We will send three people from each side and have three rounds of competition. Weapons, fists, and kicks are all fine. Then, the winner will be the one who wins the most. The loser will unconditionally agree to the conditions proposed by the winner.”
Originally, he had been caught by them, and the initiative was on their side. He said that he was not afraid of death, but that was a lie. Qiu Liju was now thinking about how to survive. When he suddenly heard Old Liu raise such a condition, he thought for a moment and immediately said,"Alright, we'll do as you say. Don't go back on your word.”
Old Liu smiled." A gentleman's word is a promise. A real man has made his promise and there is no reason for him to go back on it. Gong Ji, take Chi Liba out and ask the Wuhuan to send an official in."”
Yan Liang agreed and brought Chi Liba out. Qiu Liju turned his head and understood that this group of people was brought in by Chi Liba. Otherwise, these dozens of people would not have barged into his tent silently. Qiu Liju stared at Chi Liba with his big eyes. Chi Liba felt that he was in the wrong and lowered his head, not daring to look at Qiu Liju. He followed Yan Liang out to get people.
Outside, there were hundreds and thousands of them…
The Wuhuan people surrounded the tent and shouted to kill these Han dogs, but they did not know Qiu Liju's situation, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing Yan Liang and Chi Liba come out, some of the Wuhuan people recognized Chi Liba. Through the patrols, they also knew that he was the one who had led these Han people in. They shouted in unison,"Kill the traitor!"
Chi Liba was so scared that he quickly hid behind Yan Liang.
Yan Liang ignored the Wuhuan people's shouts and shouted,"Your king is fine now. He asked one of you officials to come in.”
Qiu Liju wasn't here, so everyone listened to Tadun. Hearing Yan Liang's shout, the Wuhuan people's gazes fell on Tadun.
Tadun had been worried about his uncle's safety. When he heard Yan Liang say that his uncle was fine and asked him to send an official in, he was about to rush in. Yuwen Kang, the Wuhuan Army commander beside him, quickly said,"General, don't be anxious. Don't be fooled by the Han people. You can't go in now.”
Although Tadun was reckless, he thought that what the military counselor said made sense, so he pointed at a general beside him and said,"Chi Mohan, you go."
Chi Mohan was the elder brother of Chi Mohu, who had been killed by Old Liu. He was also the leader of a small Wuhuan tribe and was a famous warrior among the Wuhuan tribe. His martial strength was second only to Qiu Liju's nephew, Tadun. Hearing Tadun call him over, he immediately carried a spiked club and walked towards the tent.
"Put down your weapons!" Yan Liang shouted.”
Worried about Qiu Liju's safety, Tadun quickly said to Chi Mohan,"Listen to him, don't bring your weapons in.”
Throwing down his mace, Chi Mohan followed Yan Liang into the tent. Chi Liba had already run back.
Seeing that Qiu Liju was fine, Chi Mohan quickly went forward and knelt down."Great King, you're fine. That's great. We'll gather some soldiers and kill these Han dogs.”
Qiu Liju was almost angered to death by him. I'm fine. I know he doesn't have any ulterior motives, so I said,"Go and call Advisor Jun and Tadun in. Tell them that there won't be any danger.”
This Chi Mohan had the greatest advantage, and that was that he was loyal to Qiu Liju. Thus, when he heard Wang Ran call for the military counselor and Tadun, he immediately said,"Your Majesty, wait for me. This general will go and call him.”
After exiting the tent, Chi Mohan shouted,""Your Majesty is fine. Call in the military counselor and Lord Tadun.”
Although Military Advisor Yuwen was still afraid that the Han people had some tricks up their sleeves, Chi Mohan had already said that it was the king who had asked them to go in. There was no other way. They could only go in first. Thus, he and Tadun entered the tent.
Seeing that Qiu Liju was indeed fine, the two of them hurriedly knelt in front of Qiu Liju and said,"What orders does Your Majesty have?"
After letting them stand up, Qiu Liju said,"This is Liu Bei from Zhuo County. He brought his guards to capture this king. This king is not convinced. He proposed to have a martial arts competition with us. Be it weapons or fists, we will have a total of three rounds.”
Tadun was originally brave but not resourceful, and he was confident in his strength. He immediately said,"Alright, let's compete then. Let these Han dogs see the power of our Wuhuan men.”
The military counselor felt that since these Han people still said so under such circumstances, they definitely had the confidence to win. He wanted to remind the king, but when he thought about how the king was in their hands, he had no choice but to accept it first and then…
Tell me.
Tadun asked Chi Mohan to go out and call in the other Wuhuan general, Tie Tou. This way, the three Wuhuan generals who would be participating in the martial arts competition would be gathered. Looking at these three, they were all big and burly. In terms of height, they were even stronger than Wen Chou, the strongest in Old Liu's army.
"Since you're ready, then Gongji, Bujun, let's play with them."”
After the special training, Old Liu was very confident in his team. Whether it was close combat or a competition on horseback, they had practiced for a full 100 days on the original basis. Although these three people looked strong, as long as the three of them performed their usual training standards, it would be easy for them to win.
When the military counselor saw Old Liu and the other two standing up, he weighed their strengths and thought that Wen Chou was the strongest, Yan Liang was second, and Old Liu was last. So he quickly used Tian Ji's horse-racing trick and prepared to let his strongest Tadun fight Old Liu, Chi Mohan fight Yan Liang, and Tie Tou fight Wen Chou. This way, his side had a chance of winning two rounds, two out of three, and that would be considered a win.
