159. Hearing about the war
It's just that now that the person he is most grateful to has left, I don't know how his whereabouts are whether he has returned to the Han realm or is in Xianbei, but Jing Shou knows that when Sima is safe, he will leave to find his whereabouts, and it is best to persuade him to return to Sima's side.
Anping is now Sima's personal bodyguard and serves as the original Zhao Hong's position, but Anping and Zhao Hong are completely two styles, Zhao Hong is eager to see where Sima goes, and this Anping completely forgets his responsibilities as long as he fights, and only knows how to fight blindly, as for Sima's danger, he has long forgotten about it.
If he hadn't happened to meet Zhang Zheng, Li Xiang, Liang Da Yan Rou, who had solved the defense troops, and was scolded by Zhang Zheng, he was almost slaughtered by Li Xiang, who was so angry that he was so angry, that he would have forgotten that he was no longer the original chief, and he was already Sima's chief of guard, just like Zhao Hong, he had to protect Sima's safety.
Anping didn't dare to run around this time, and after finding Sima, he followed him, killing whatever he encountered, anyway, he would never dare to let Sima out of sight.
In the face of the bloodthirsty butcher's knives wielded by the Han people, most of them chose to dismount and surrender, and only a few recalcitrant Xianbei knights were still engaged in a desperate struggle, and they were soon slaughtered by the red-eyed Han army in the bloody mines, turning into dead corpses.
The battle is over, but Yan Rou has never found the leader of the place, General Keduo, according to Yan Rou, he is the brother-in-law of the leader, if he can use his blood to pay tribute to Zhao Hong, it would be great, unfortunately no one found his figure, whether he is dead or alive or unknown, but it is certain that the Han army guarding the gate can be sure that no one escaped from the main gate, that is to say, if there is no other escape route for General Keduo to escape, then he is still hiding in the camp or has been killed.
Ordered to go down to clean up the battlefield, this battle killed nearly 1,000 Xianbei people, wounded and captured more than 1,000 people, and Liu Lan's 500 elites plus 3,000 civilians lost less than 100 people in total, of course, these 100 people are pure death statistics, as for the wounded, large and small, minor injuries and serious injuries of thousands of people, but after treatment, there are more than 900 people who can be intact as before, so this battle should be regarded as a brilliant victory!
Liang Da found his sister Liang Shuang, Yan Rou also found his younger brother Yan Zhi, and the hidden mission that Liu Lan had been entangled with was completely finished, after all, it was for him to kill Helian, this was the last task triggered when he rushed into the wolf tent at that time, but in order to prevent Xianbei from splitting Liu Lan finally chose to leave, although he did not complete the hidden task, he still achieved his goal, and it is not a regret.
The next thing is to deal with the matter of the mine, with Liang Da and Li Xiang as the leader to ask for destruction, and Zhang Zhengtian as the head to build yƬ to retain, Liu Lan is a little difficult to choose, but with the current situation, it is undoubtedly the best choice to leave the people and craftsmen here, and let them leave when the wind and waves are calm and the Xianbei people are repulsed.
But what caught Liu Lan off guard was that no one wanted to leave, and after listening to it, he learned that the mine was self-sufficient, including many of the miners who were rescued in the grassland, had land here, and the grain they planted belonged to them, and the Xianbei people would not charge a cent, and the only thing they needed to do was to dig and mine during the slack time.
This kind of life is more comfortable than outside, the Xianbei people have long lost their homes here, even if there are still homes for them to return to their homes now, they have to retake care of the abandoned fields, and they can't say that they will encounter military disasters in the next year, coupled with taxes and forced labor, so that their enthusiasm for returning to their homes is not as strong as Liu Lan imagined.
Under such circumstances, Yan Rou and Tian Chou put forward their opinions, we may come back after leaving the Xianbei people, and it is not as easy as today to capture such a natural fortress, since so many people and craftsmen are willing to stay, it is better for Sima to garrison here, even if the food is not enough, you can use the iron tools made here to exchange for the surrounding counties.
Liu Lan was a little moved, but now he was thinking about the war in Youbeiping, since he was going to go, and who could be stationed here, Yan Rou guessed Sima's concerns, saying that he was originally the manager here, had rich experience, could take care of the mine well, and was willing to take care of the mine for Sima, which made Liu Lan overjoyed, he had long thought about how to get a historical celebrity like Yan Rou in his hands, and now such a good opportunity will certainly not be missed, he can use the mine to keep Yan Rou, and now even if he takes Lu Longling to exchange the mine, Liu Lan will not change.
The things that made Liu Lan excited were not over, Tian Chou kid actually wanted to stay, so that the mine had double insurance in the internal affairs and military, although Yan Rou was a historical celebrity, but Tian Chou was a confidant, and Tian Chou was not afraid of Yan Rou's back when Liu Lan was in trouble, and then appointed Tian Chou as the steward Yan Rou as the deputy steward to assist him in managing the mine.
As soon as everything was arranged, a group of farmers came over with a Xianbei man, and Yan Rou recognized the detained man from afar, laughed and said, "Sima, that person is General Keduo!"
"You're a Kodo general?" Liu Lan walked up to him and said.
"Are you Liu Lan? Hungry wolf Liu Lan? Kodo stared at the visitor with red eyes.
"Your eyes are very good, I am Liu Lan!" Liu Lan smiled: "But this is the first time I've heard of this hungry wolf!" ā
"The prestige of your hungry wolf is known to women and children in the grassland......"
At this moment, a group of scouts rushed in the distance, and the scouts hurriedly said, "Sima, I found traces of a fierce battle between someone and the Karasuma people!" ā
"Isn't it our people?"
"It's not our people, it looks like a border army and Karasuma people!"
"What? Border Army?? ā
~~~~~~~
The sky was bright, the wind was howling on the plain, and suddenly several black shadows rushed out of the valley, and then more and more black shadows came out of the valley.
There are only about 500 people in this group, and all of them are inconspicuous from the outside, but only when you can really get close to them, and even after fighting them, you will be shocked to find that each of them is a master of masters!
"Sima, can we do these five hundred people in the past?"
"What's wrong? Scared? Liu Lan smiled and said that he understood the meaning of Anping's words, in fact, he just went over to take a look, if he could pick up some cheap or even do some good things to beat the water dogs, it would be best if he couldn't get cheap, maybe he could get this opportunity to see Gongsun Zhan, as for the matter of being a prisoner, how could he be able to offset the merits of the wolf tent in Xianbei, if this is really the case, he can find a birth for these five hundred people? As for Sima's own future, he didn't think about it.
