In the west of Xingyang City, Sun Qing and Tai Shici's scout light cavalry were stationed here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Without the defense of the camp, although tents were set up, the Wuhuan warriors, who were the main members of this army, were more willing to spread their skins on the ground and lay down next to the campfire and talk in groups...... And their horses will always be tied to the bonfire, that is, not far from their own side.

Two hundred paces outside the camp, a campfire was set up not far away, and it was lit up on all sides.

Wuhuan is a complex and simple people. It is complicated because of their embarrassing position, Xianbei who came out of Donghu finally completely defeated Donghu, while Wuhuan of the same clan has always fought separately for each department, and failed to give birth to a great leader who gathers various tribes like Xianbei Tanshi Huai. The geography is also embarrassing to them, Wuhuan is not without a chance to rise, but this opportunity is stifled because of the region.

Any nation or country that survives between the powerful Han and the Xiongnu, the Han and the Xianbei, and can persist in not being destroyed, can already be called tenacious.

The Han Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, and there are many ethnic groups that have been wiped out; Xianbei's domination of the grasslands accelerated the extinction of other ethnic groups. And Wuhuan surrendered to the Han Dynasty for three hundred years under such conditions and fought for it.

They were originally born as nomads, but because of their submission to the Han Chinese, there were both nomadic and farming in the country, but ...... That was in the early Han period, and later their lives consisted of raiding and occasional horse herding. Is farming faster than murder?

After fighting for the Han Dynasty for three hundred years, they have formed a unique military system attached to the behemoth of the Han Dynasty, and each young Wuhuan boy has his own war horse and arc knife, waiting for the call of the Han Dynasty general to fight.

Youzhou Assault Cavalry, known as the world, is a high-quality soldier source with the Liangjiazi of the six counties of the Han Dynasty, and the Wuhuan Assault Cavalry is a well-known strong soldier in the world. Even during the period of time in the Han Dynasty, the entire Youji was able to stabilize by relying solely on the Wuhuan Tuqi.

The combat power of the Wuhuan people is not weak, bows, swords and horses, they don't have to be much worse than the Xianbei people. And equipped with iron weapons and armor made by the Han people, they are invincible on the battlefield.

But in the past twenty years, it has been different, the emperor of the Han people is greedy for money, so that the Wuhuan people no longer like to work for the Han people, because even if the seizures on the battlefield have to be handed over like those Han people, where can this be endured.

This also caused the Wuhuan people to follow the Han people to make trouble, whether it was to quell the chaos, they didn't like to make great efforts. They are for money, not for war exploits.

This is the crux of the problem.

Su Fuyan wore iron armor and stirred a bonfire with a wooden stick, the moonlight was too dark tonight, and the bonfire should be burned vigorously. He crossed his legs and said slowly to the young Wuhuan warrior beside him: "You have to respect the general as much as you respect the kings of the Wuhuan tribes, even more than us, you know?" ”

The young man sitting beside him was named Gu Jin, the leader of a small tribe under King Qiao, although the leader of this tribe was even younger than his tribe, only fifteen or sixteen years old. The Wuhuan people have a loose hierarchy within the tribe, and even tribal kings like Su Muyan sometimes sit down to dine with herdsmen, but this young man named Gu Jin has a high status in the tribe.

"But I don't respect those kings." The young man's unattractive face had a natural arrogance, and he quietly used a stone to slowly sharpen the arc knife, making a sound of grinding his ears, glanced at Su Fuyan and said, "I only respect you, uncle." ”

Although Su Muyan is the king of their tribe and one of the leaders of the five major tribes of Wuhuan, he is not only the leader of Gu Jin, but also Gu Jin's uncle. His father had died in the siege of Gongsun Chan in the Erzhang Rebellion a few years earlier, and although he inherited the tribe, he was hated by his tribes. Even though Gu Jin's tribe was small, there were other Wuhuan nobles, and everyone wanted to be the leader, so someone assassinated Gu Jin, who was only thirteen years old at the time.

The knife hand was killed by the guards left behind by his father, and Gujin didn't say anything. But last year, when the Wuhuan nobles who sent people to assassinate him were all killed with their hands and feet cut off in one night, Gu Jin firmly held the tribe of thousands of people in his hands at the age of fifteen.

This made Su Fuyan attach great importance to this little nephew, and it was from then on that he treated Gu Jin very closely, so this time he took Gu Jin with him and fought for Yanbei together.

"Then you will honor him as you honor me."

Su Fuyan put his palm on his iron armor, which was the iron armor sent to him by Yanbei after the rebellion in Jizhou Black Mountain, and in his tribe, there were fifty sets of such armor. This is also the first batch of iron armor made by Liaodong Tiewu himself, the forging skills are not high, the armor is not beautiful, and there is no comparison with the set of precision forging armor rewarded by the imperial court on Yanbei himself.

But this did not prevent Su Fuyan from loving it, the iron armor was far stronger than the leather armor and the Wuhuan people's own bronze armor!

"He's a slave-made general." Gu Jin didn't raise his head this time, and his voice was very soft but very firm, "I don't have to respect him. ”

Su Muyan admired Gu Jin's arrogance, and even more appreciated the firmness of a young man who was incomparable to an adult, he roasted cross-legged on the fire like a kind father, and said softly: "It is impossible for a slave to be a general, but General Yan has done something impossible, isn't this worthy of respect?" ”

After that, Su Fuyan remembered the appearance of Yanbei when he saw Yanbei in Zhen's Wu, and that ambitious and fearless posture made him slowly shake his head, and said to Gu Jin: "Now the north is like this, and we Wuhuan are the same, whoever is close to General Yan will get more, you are the leader of the tribe, you must learn the justice of the general." ”

Yanbei is indeed very fair, Zhongqiu Liju, the king of the five tribes of Wuhuan, and Su Muyan are the closest, and the way the two people get close is different. Qiu Liju was willing to transport supplies for Yanbei to protect the caravan and get some food every time, but he was not willing to let his tribe's warriors fight for Yanbei. But Su Fuyan was willing, as long as Yanbei fought, he would send troops to help, even if there were not many people in his tribe.

What did he get now? The spoils of war, the money, and those iron-clad iron knives from Liaodong!

Su Muyan can imagine that if this crusade against the Central Plains court is won, General Yan will get more from their Han court, and he, Su Fuyan, will also get more rewards...... In two years, his tribe will be the strongest among the Wuhuan tribes!

"How are your warriors?" Gu Jin was about to say something, but Sun Qing, who was not far away, walked over with his hands rubbed with a knife, sat cross-legged around the bonfire, and asked Su Fuyan, "This is your son?" ”

Although Su Muyan is the king of the Wuhuan Five Divisions, among these generals under Yanbei's command, he is only one of the generals. The personal relationship between Su Muyan and Yanbei is not close, but the relationship with Sun Qing and these people is not bad, after all, they have fought side by side several times, and they regard Su Muyan as half of their own from the bottom of their hearts.

This half of his own people is much closer than Han Fu's half of his own people.

"No, it's the noble leader of my tribe, called Gu Jin. He's good enough to lift the foal above his head, and tonight will be his first fight. Su Fuyan looked at Gu Jin, the look of appreciation in his eyes was indescribable, and he pointed to Sun Qing and said, "When he grows up, I hope to give him the title of King Qiao and let him lead my people." ”

"First war? Then you should be careful later. Sun said lightly, then untied the wine bag from his waist and handed it to Gu Jin and said with a smile: "Drink two sips of wine?" ”

As soon as Sun Qing's voice fell, there was laughter behind him, and Tai Shici strode over and said to Sun Qing: "Okay, you, I was looking for you, but I ran to King Qiao to drink." Don't you know that the general strictly forbids his subordinates to drink alcohol during wartime? ”

"That's because you can't drink, the night when we are scouts is so cold, if you don't drink two more sips, can you still live?" Sun chuckled and patted the leather scroll beside him and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi come and sit, you want to look for me, is it that the enemy in the city has come out?" ”

"Just now the scout reported that the gate of Xingyang City was opened, although it was too dark to know how many people there were, but the scout said that he could see that they were not riding horses." Tai Shi Ci said and sat next to Sun Qing and looked at Sun Qing and Su Fuyan and said: "Calculate the footsteps, at most they will be able to touch it in two more moments, I have asked the soldiers to call the people who are sleeping, so that you will sleep or not, and you will suffer tomorrow." ”

"Sleep a fart, I cleaned up the people of Liangzhou at night, tomorrow we will go into Xingyang to sleep, who rarely sleeps in the wilderness!"

Tai Shi Ci smiled, didn't answer this sentence but said: "In the afternoon, I told the general the news that the Liangzhou soldiers had entered the city, and sent a message to us to guard against it at night, and sure enough, the general said it...... Let's really fight according to what the general said? I think run first and then fight, why bother? ”

In addition to the five hundred Wenxian scouts personally trained, Sun Qing's command also brought his own fifty personal entourage, which were all old scout brothers among the thieves in the early years, and most of the time when they came into contact with scouts was the Yellow Turban, and they were also the best scouts in the entire Youzhou.

They are the only ones who can swim outside Xingyang City without startling the grass and snakes, and watch Huaxiong's every move. Even the scouts sent by Huaxiong to keep an eye on them in the evening had already been discovered. If Sun Qing wanted to fight, none of those scouts would be able to go back.

"Ziyi thinks what those bonfires are for, they are for us to light up. King Qiao, you told all the warriors in the tribe, let's run west for five miles first, and then gather troops to fight back. After receiving Su Muyan's accurate reply, Sun Qingcai said to Tai Shici: "In such a dark night, it is to let the enemy see us here." It's a pity that what if these military tents can't be recovered? ”

"These military tents are left here, as well as food and even excess ordnance, let's leave them in a conspicuous position in the camp!" Tai Shi Ci listened to Sun Qing's words and said a little, and then said: "When they see it, it will definitely be like taking everything away, this place is so bright, just for our riders to shoot them." ”

"You're right." Sun Qing got up and smiled, patted the hilt of his knife and said to the two: "Let the soldiers prepare, the enemy outflanks us, and we will run east...... Slaughtered them tonight, the armor and horses, and Xingyang City are all ours! ”
