Han Dao world

In just half an hour, Lu Bu and others left here, leaving a mess behind.

Two women on horseback followed closely behind.None of them took their children with them, and one even killed the child with her own hands.These Xianbei beards are not her children, but her shame.

Huang Yi walked side by side with Lu Bu, quickly reported the results of the interrogation, and pointed. "In the northwest direction, if you ride a horse for a day, it should be less than a hundred miles. There is a small tribe with about 300 tribes. They are the defeated soldiers who entered the fortress with Fu Luohan last year."

Lu Bu nodded. More than 300 falls means that there are [-] to [-] cavalry.If he fights in formation, he can win, but the casualties will be not small.If you want to reduce casualties, you must pay attention to concealment and surprise attacks.

"From now on, everyone must not disarm, and be ready to fight at any time." Lu Bu turned his head and said: "You have a good nose, pay attention to the smell in the wind."

"Here."

"What are those two women doing?" Lu Bu frowned when he saw the woman behind the line.

"They are all robbed Han people. If they can follow, they will follow. If they can't follow, they will go south by themselves. If they can save one, it is one." Huang Yi said: "If they can keep up, they can help cook at night to save the soldiers' energy. "

"Save the strength of the soldiers?" Lu Bu sneered. "These bastards can bear it when they see a woman? I'm afraid they won't be able to ride a horse or draw a bow tomorrow."

"It's a good thing to relax occasionally, just be careful. But I told them that Xianbei women are allowed to deal with them, and Han women are not allowed to use force, otherwise military law will be used. Marquis Wen, you can reiterate it when the time comes."

Lu Bu grinned happily. "Chang Shi, you don't look like a scholar at all."

"I'm not a scholar now, I'm a long history of Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu tapped Huang Yi's chest in satisfaction. "It would be great if all scholars could be like you. But then again, when I met you in Nanyang, you were not like this, haha."

Huang Yi was about to speak when a whistle came from ahead.Lu Bu immediately closed his mouth, stepped on the stirrups and stood up, raised the black veil to protect him, and looked into the distance.

In the endless white snow, a team meanders. There are several large flags in front of the team. The logos on the flags cannot be seen clearly, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a cavalry team. The number is quite large, at least more than 500 people. .

"Ready to fight!" Lu Bu waved his hand. "Horizontal attack, attack from head to tail."

"Here." The knights responded loudly and quickly changed their formation.

The two women who followed the team saw it and exchanged a look, both surprised and happy.Although the Han cavalry in front of them looked rough and looked like horse thieves, they moved quickly and were well equipped. They looked elite.

Follow them and you will be able to go home.

"General, we..."

"You find a place to hide." Lu Bu said: "You will come out after the battle is over." As he spoke, he accelerated his horse.

Without saying a word, the two women got off their horses and got into the snowdrift.

Chapter 484

Seeing nearly a hundred knights running from a distance, Ke Zui felt suspicious, but he didn't take it seriously, and just ordered his subordinates to be vigilant.

There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and he is flying the banner of Ke Bineng. Even the horse thief who has no eyesight dare not do it easily, otherwise he doesn't mind teaching them a lesson, and by the way, he will show the strength of the commander and show his respect for this grassland. of possession.

These five hundred knights were all elites under Ke Bineng's command. Following him to collect taxes from various tribes this time was also a kind of demonstration in itself.

Seeing the fiery red wolf's head on the snow-white banner, Ke Zui realized that something was wrong.

He vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned this battle flag, but he couldn't remember the specific details for a moment.But he knew very well that within a radius of [-] miles of Junji Mountain, there was no tribe or horse bandit group using this battle flag.

Before Ke wanted to understand the origins of these people, Lu Bu and the others had already rushed two hundred steps away, instead of slowing down, they started to speed up.Seeing the armor on them, Ke Zui suddenly realized that these people were not tribes on the grassland, nor were they horse thieves—although they used to be horse thieves—they were wolf riders newly built by the emperor of the Han family.

The general on the big red horse rushing to the front should be Wen Hou Lu Bu.

"Wenhou, Wenhou, I am..." Ke Zui raised his arms and yelled repeatedly, but the shouts of the soldiers on both sides were so loud that no one could hear them, and instead attracted Lu Bu's attention.Lu Bu galloped forward on his horse, opened his arms and shot his arrows.

Seeing Lu Bu approaching him, he shot an arrow.Ke didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively rolled off the saddle and fell off the horse, escaping the arrow that would kill him, and then shouted: "Marquis Wen, my own, my own."

Hearing the Chinese language, Lu Bu stopped in time and did not shoot the second arrow. He galloped past Ke Zui, and casually shot down another Xianbei archer with bow and arrow, and then another.

Although these Xianbei knights were elite, they were all targets of massacre in front of Lu Bu, and they had no power to fight back.

"My own people, my own... people!" Ke Zui watched the knights of the Han army galloping on horseback, killing his subordinates, and was so anxious that his voice became hoarse, and he kept roaring, but it was of no avail.

The wolf rider didn't listen to him, and his subordinates were killed in chaos, and they didn't dare to stop resisting.

"Hey, who are you?" Huang Yi rode over, holding a spear in his hand, and circled Ke Zui twice.

Ke Zui saw that this man was not an ordinary soldier, so he hurried forward, and just as he was about to speak, Huang Yi raised his arm, and the tip of the spear hit Ke Zui's throat.Ke Zui jumped, stepped back quickly, and bowed to salute.

"General, I am the emissary of Marshal Ke Bineng. My name is Ke Zui. I once went to Liangzhou with the Marshal and met the emperor of the Han family."

"Ke Bineng?" Huang Yi was somewhat impressed. "Are you Ke Bineng's subordinates?"

"Yes, yes, we were ordered by the commander to collect taxes in various ministries." Ke was so anxious that tears almost came out. "They are all our own people, please order the general to stop the attack immediately."

Huang Yi raised his eyebrows lightly, deliberately hesitated for a moment, seeing that most of the opponent had been killed, and then signaled the people around him to blow their horns and stop fighting.Ke Zui also quickly ordered his subordinates to stop attacking and shrink into a circle to protect themselves.

"Follow me to see Marquis Wen." Huang Yi shook his head.

Ke dared not neglect the most, and followed Huang Yi to Lv Bu with a deep kick and a shallow kick.Lu Bu shook the blood on the spear, and laughed when Ke Zui introduced his identity.

"It turned out to be you, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." He raised his spear and pointed at Ke Bineng's banner. "There are no Chinese characters on it, and I don't know who it is. It's not my fault."

Ke wanted to cry the most but had no tears.Who dares to blame you, most of the people have been killed by you, it is not fun to blame you.

"This is our fault, we must add Chinese characters next time."

"Well, with the Chinese characters, there will be no misunderstanding." Lu Bu looked at the sleds again. "How much tax did you collect? What good things are there? We drove hundreds of miles just to rob a big one, but we didn't expect it to be you."

Ke understood the most, and quickly said: "There are not many things, just some leather goods." He thought for a while, and then said: "The best of them are going to be dedicated to the emperor of the Han family. If Marquis Wen is interested, I am willing to donate them." Some for you."

Lu Bu took Ke the last look, laughed and scolded: "Since it is dedicated to the emperor, how dare I accept it." He winked at Huang Yi. "Go and see what good things are there, and pick some not-so-good ones to reward brothers. Since we are our own people, we can't do too much."

Huang Yi stepped forward in response, Ke was most anxious, but dared not move.It is just an emergency speech to say that it is dedicated to the emperor of the Han family. He has the final say on whether to dedicate it later, and how much to dedicate.But after Huang Yi saw it, he couldn't help it.If the gap is too large, the emperor of the Han family will inevitably be angry if he finds out.

Taking advantage of Huang Yi to check the vacancies of supplies, Ke Zui secretly looked at the wolf cavalry.Just like the news that came back before, there are not many wolf riders, but everyone is capable, no wonder they can appear and disappear on the grassland.With such a group of people wandering around Junji Mountain, the commander-in-chief might not be able to sleep.

Who knows when these wolf riders will suddenly appear in front of the commander?

Huang Yi roughly checked the supplies, took some food, and took two sets of winter clothes, and gave them to the two women who followed, and replaced their worn-out leather jackets.The two women were overjoyed. Holding their winter clothes, they got into the snowdrift to change, and when they came out, they finally looked human.

"Who are they?" Ke asked cautiously.

"My daughter from the Han family was robbed by the Xianbei people." Lu Bu said, "We came here to save them."

Ke was the most skeptical, but dared not refute.

"Have you ever robbed us Han people?" Lu Bu was half joking and half serious. "If it's robbed, let it go as soon as possible. If we find out, we won't spare you."

"No, no." Ke most quickly denied. "We have just moved here and just settled down, so how dare we enter the fortress." He thought for a while, and then said: "However, we gathered some old troops of Fu Luo Han, some of them looted from the Han land, and we It doesn't matter."

"Then please give them a message, either put them back as soon as possible, or treat them well. The emperor loves the people the most. He has lived in Liangzhou for more than a year in order to stabilize Liangzhou. If you kill us Han people, the emperor will angry."

"Here, here." Ke Zui agreed wholeheartedly, with cold sweat breaking out on his back.

After drinking and chatting with Ke Zui, they had a hot meal together, and inquired about the location of the nearest tribe. Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry to set off again and headed towards Junji Mountain.

Watching Lu Bu and others disappear on the snowy field, Ke was most relieved and didn't dare to collect taxes any more. He hurried back to the grazing land and reported to Ke Bi Neng.The presence of wolf riders here has seriously threatened the survival of the tribe. This matter must be discussed with the emperor of the Han family and resolved properly, otherwise the situation of the tribe will be too dangerous.

Chapter 485

Ke Zui rushed back to the tribe, and rushed to Ke Bineng's big tent as soon as possible.

After listening to Ke Zui's report, Ke Bineng was not too surprised, but showed a helpless wry smile.

"Before you came back, I had already received the news. The wolf rider circled me half a circle, and the closest time was less than fifty miles away from me."

Ke's heart skipped a beat.Fifty miles, is this equal to face to face?I am afraid that the wolf riders are not going for the Xianbei people in Junji Mountain, but for the commander.

"Master, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, it's fine for now." Ke Bi Neng comforted Ke Zui while pinching his sore brows. "No matter how brave Lu Bu is, he would not dare to fight me with a hundred cavalry."

Ke was hesitant to say anything.Lu Bu didn't dare to fight against Ke with a hundred riders, but how about a thousand riders?

He has seen the fighting power of the wolf cavalry with his own eyes. The hundred cavalry assaulted and killed most of his five hundred subordinates in a few words, which was more than a pack of wolves.If there are thousands of riders, I am afraid that they will dare to face an opponent ten times their size head-on.

"You said just now that Lu Bu has seen the tax we received?"

"Well, there is a long history named Huang Yi, who seems to be a scholar."

"He is indeed a scholar, and he is Yuan Shu's son-in-law."

Ke's heart skipped a beat.He chatted with Huang Yi for a long time, but he didn't expect that Huang Yi would be the son-in-law of Yuan's family.

"Clean up and tidy up the best things. I'm going to Xiu Tuze to meet the emperor of the Han family." Ke Bineng stood up. "There was a snowstorm this year, and next spring will be very difficult. I just took this opportunity to ask for help and see if I can ask for some food for emergency."

"Can the Han family have food for us? They don't even have enough food for themselves."

"I am also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, what if I can ask for it?" Ke Bineng sighed: "Under the blade, you can't bow your head."

Ke felt the most reasonable and nodded in agreement.

Ke Bineng then ordered his subordinates to prepare to slaughter all the frozen animals and send them to Han.It's useless for him to keep these livestock. Although he doesn't have to worry about rotting, they won't last until next spring.Take it to Han, maybe you can exchange it for some grain.

When asking for help, you can't do it empty-handed. Equivalent exchange is the most reliable way.

There were not enough livestock, so Ke Bi Neng picked out some more horses, and barely made up the amount that could be exchanged for food.

Ke couldn't rest the most, and he rushed to Xiu Tuze first with the most expensive gift.Ke Bi Neng had to wait a little longer, at least until the wolf rider was far away from his station.If the wolf cavalry suddenly attacked while he was away, it would be a catastrophe for the genocide.

Ke knew the burden on his shoulders the most. He took gifts, traveled day and night, and arrived at Xiu Tu Ze in early December.

Liu Xie quickly received Ke Zui.

Liu Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the wolf cavalry was active in the Junji Mountain area, and the results were gratifying.The wolf riders did not return for a long time, and his heart was hanging in the air, for fear that Lu Bu's departure would be unfavorable, there would be major losses, and even the entire army would be wiped out.

Now it seems that the effect is better than expected, even the brave Ke Bi Neng on the grassland is afraid, so he rushed to see him.

"Is the snowstorm serious?"

"Seriously, it snowed several times in succession, lasting for two or three days." Ke Zui sighed. "Almost all the livestock died of freezing. If there is no relief, at least half of them will die next year."

"No." Liu Xie said.

Ke is most hopeful.It seems that the emperor of the Han family is still trustworthy, and this is going to rescue him.

Liu Xie went on to say: "The vast majority of them will not live until next year."

Ke Zui's smile froze before it even bloomed, and he didn't know how to comment for a moment.

"After you go back, tell the commander-in-chief a way: go to various tribes to collect livestock that have been frozen to death, the more the better. I will send someone to send you some salt. Use salt to pickle these livestock so that they can be preserved for a longer period of time. It will be no problem to persist until next spring. By next spring, the imperial court’s disaster relief food will almost be delivered.”

"Your Majesty, pickle... with salt?" Ke Zui's eyes widened.

Liu Xie was surprised. "You won't?"

Ke Zui shook his head repeatedly. "No, and I can't afford it, how much salt does it cost?"

Liu Xie thought for a while before reacting.For the peoples on the grasslands, salt is too precious, far more valuable than the livestock themselves.Curing meat with salt is putting the cart before the horse. It's better to take advantage of the cold on the grassland and freeze it directly.

It's just that although the grassland is cold, it will warm up in March and April, and frozen meat can no longer be preserved.In this case, they also don't use salt, but air-dry, or smoke, which makes sense.

I took it for granted.

"In a word, tomorrow spring, the government's relief will be sent to the grassland." Liu Xie said: "I think you can understand that it is not so easy to transport grain from Guanzhong and Hedong."

Ke nodded with the most satisfaction.As long as the emperor of the Han family is willing to provide food, his mission will be completed. As for whether the other tribes will be driven to extinction by the wolf riders, that is their business.It may be better to kill them all, and no one will fight for the ranch in the future.

Of course, this is only an intentional decision.How much food the court can provide in the end depends on Ke Bineng's sincerity.

Ke Zui asked Liu Xie again, hoping that the wolf riders would not "accidentally injure" Ke Bineng's tribe.

Liu Xie agreed, and at the same time he issued an edict to the wolf rider, he asked Kebi to write Chinese characters on his battle flag according to Lu Bu's suggestion.For this reason, Liu Xie also specially handwritten a character Ke to Ke Bineng, which is regarded as a surname. He hoped that Ke Bi could abide by the courtiers, assist Han and Tibetans, suppress evil and promote good.

Then, Liu Xie told Ke Zui the good news that a large number of mulberry trees were planted in Hedong and Guanzhong. Within a year or two, a large amount of silk would be on the market, and then it would pass through the grasslands and be transported to the Western Regions.There are several rivers near Junji Mountain with lush water and grass, which are the places where caravans must pass.If Kebi can manage well, there is an opportunity to profit from it.

Ke Zui was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked for details.

Liu Xie was not afraid of trouble, and personally explained the specific arrangement to Ke Zui.After listening to Liu Xie's explanation, Ke knew that it was not a lie. The emperor of the Han family also eagerly hoped to profit from the silk trade and solve the current predicament.

Thinking of the benefits that the silk business could bring, Ke was most elated, and felt that it was right to move here to listen to the edict of the emperor of the Han family.

This is a way of making money.

Ke Zui immediately ordered someone to return Ke Bineng, and asked him to come to Xiu Tuze as quickly as possible to discuss the details with the emperor of the Han family.The opening of the commercial road is imminent, and there must be many people who want to profit from it. If you take the first step, you will be one step closer to a prosperous life.

There is an edict from the emperor to guarantee that the threat of wolf riders can be basically ruled out. After receiving the news from Ke Zui, Kebi Neng ordered someone to forward the edict of the emperor to Lu Bu, and set off with the prepared horses, cattle and sheep, and rushed to Xiu. Tu Ze.

Chapter 486 Thrush

Liu Xie stood by the side of the road, watched the carriage stop slowly, shook his half-worn cloak, and walked to the carriage.

Ma Yunlu opened the car door, revealing Fushou's tired little face.Fu Shou rested his chin and looked ahead in a daze, but he didn't notice Liu Xie standing outside the car door.Seeing this, Ma Yunlu reached out and tapped on the wall of the car, reminding: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is here."

"Oh." Fu Shou replied weakly, turned his head and saw that it was Liu Xie, his eyes widened in shock.Immediately afterwards, a smile bloomed from the corner of his eyes.She stood up long, but forgot that she was in the car, and her head was about to touch the roof of the car.When Ma Yunlu and Liu cooperated, they put their hands on the top of Fushou's head and stacked them together.
