~6 min read 1,174 words

Early the next morning.

Mouth of Shehu Valley.

"Load everything onto the carriages, count the quantities, don't have any omissions."

"Hurry up over there, load it all up."

Li Jue and Guo Si stood in the camp stationed last night, commanding the soldiers to load all the boxes on the ground onto the carriages.

Two soldiers carried a heavy wooden box.

Suddenly, with a crack, the wooden box seemed to break because the bottom was rotten, and a large amount of gold cakes poured out from the bottom of the wooden box.

Piled up on the ground.

Under the morning sun, the gold cakes reflected a golden light.

"What are you doing?" Li Jue shouted and took two steps forward: "What's going on? Hurry up and load it."

The two soldiers nodded repeatedly, then arranged the gold cakes into another box.

The surrounding soldiers continued to load all the remaining boxes onto the carriages.

Before long, after the camp was packed up, the soldiers lined up into two teams again.

At the very front of the entire team, Li Jue and Guo Si, wearing armor, waved their weapons and then set off into Shehu Valley.

In that mountain depression several miles away from the forest on both sides of Shehu Valley.

The Qiang cavalry who woke up in the morning began to pack up their warhorses.

Beigong Boyu, Old King Dianling Qiang, Old King Zhong Qiang, and the leader of the Canlang Qiang sat together, gnawing on the meat bones from yesterday.

Suddenly, a Qiang soldier ran back stumbling.

"Old King, Old King, that Han team has already set off."

The few who were sitting together immediately turned their heads to look at the soldier.

The leader of the Canlang Qiang stood up excitedly and asked: "What direction did they go?"

"Shehu Valley, they went in the direction of Shehu Valley."

"Great." The Canlang Qiang leader looked at Beigong Boyu excitedly: "Can we take action now?"

Beigong Boyu pulled a handful of grass on the grass beside him to wipe the grease on his hands.

Then he looked at the Qiang soldier and asked: "Did you find anything unusual?"

"For example, there are many fewer people in the team."

"Or a lot less cargo?"

The Qiang soldier shook his head repeatedly to indicate no.

"No, absolutely not."

The Qiang soldier explained: "We saw it clearly, the carriages are still those, and the cargo hasn't moved."

"When they were packing up the camp, two soldiers accidentally broke a wooden box, and it was filled with gold cakes."

Hiss!

Hearing this, the few gasped.

Gold cakes!

"Haha, it seems this guy is really rich," the Canlang Qiang leader laughed and said.

Beigong Boyu did not answer but looked at the several Qiang leaders and said: "Things have already been explained before."

"We can plunder the cargo, but we absolutely cannot kill Duan Yu's family; bring his family out."

"We want to give him a warning, not to let him come to Hanyang Commandery to take office, not to provoke his retaliation."

"We must not delay our major events because of a few women," Beigong Boyu said.

Old King Dianling Qiang and Old King Zhong Qiang both nodded.

Beigong Boyu dropped his gaze on the leader of the Canlang Qiang.

The Canlang Qiang leader snorted disdainfully and said: "Fine, fine, fine, I know."

Beigong Boyu, who stood up, felt relieved, and then said: "Alright, according to our arrangement yesterday, block their way in the middle of Shehu Valley, then attack from both sides and block the front and back, let's go, let's act separately!"

After Beigong Boyu gave an order, the many Qiang soldiers in the mountain depression took action.

The Long Mountain range on both sides of Shehu Valley, the Wei River valley passes through the middle from here.

Because the mountains on both sides are too steep and dangerous, it was named Shehu Valley.

At this time, more than a thousand carriages and horses were moving slowly in the valley.

The carriage wheels rolled over the sand and stones on the ground, making a rustling sound.

The scorching sun overhead was blocked by the towering valley on both sides, making the entire team walk in the shadow of the mountain stream, which was much cooler than outside the valley.

Li Jue and Guo Si led five hundred cavalry, walking at the very front of the team.

They gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes constantly scanning the mountain streams on both sides.

It seemed as if they were looking for something.

Just when the team had been walking in the valley for nearly half an hour.

Suddenly, a series of sharp whistling sounds rang out on both sides of the valley.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, there is an ambush, there is an ambush!"

Li Jue suddenly shouted loudly.

On both sides of the mountain stream in front, groups of soldiers wearing various animal skins, even with animal skins covering their heads, looking like wild people, held their weapons high and shouted loudly.

The sound shook the valley.

Accompanied by the shouting of the crowd, huge falling rocks were pushed down from the mountain stream, rumbling and smashing into the valley.

The left side of the valley road is the Wei River.

The giant rocks fell into the Wei River, splashing water into the sky.

The Qiang cavalry who had already been ambushed in the valley waved their weapons and began to shout loudly.

In an instant, the team was extremely chaotic.

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, get out, rush out."

"Protect the Eldest Miss and the Lady, go back, turn around, turn around!"

Li Jue and Guo Si shouted loudly.

Just as the two were shouting, the panicked and chaotic rear army immediately turned into the front army, turned around, and ran wildly toward the road they came from.

And those hundreds of carriages were immediately abandoned on both sides of the road.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Li Jue waved the broadsword in his hand, and Guo Si also hurriedly followed the front army.

In the valley, facing Li Jue and Guo Si, came Old King Dianling Qiang and the leader of the Canlang Qiang, leading over a thousand cavalry.

Seeing Li Jue and Guo Si both running toward the direction they came from, they were a bit stunned for a moment.

"Haha, is this the army under that so-called tiger general of the Great Han?"

"So vulnerable, they just ran away?"

The leader of the Canlang Qiang, holding a long spear, laughed and pointed at the fleeing Li Jue and Guo Si.

Old King Dianling Qiang, who was riding on a horse beside him, was also a bit stunned.

Indeed.

It is said that the soldiers under Duan Yu are good at fighting, and Duan Yu himself is called a tiger general of the world.

Relying only on more than a thousand cavalry, he defeated thousands of Southern Xiongnu cavalry, threw the more than one hundred thousand Xianbei at Tanhanshan into chaos, and beheaded more than ten thousand.
