Yanmen, Mayi.

The remnant sun was like blood, and in the wind and sand in the sky, the guard general Sun Fang frowned and looked at the more than 100 Xianbei cavalry wandering outside the city.

"These Xianbei people are getting more and more rampant!" The lieutenant general patrolled the four city walls, returned to Sun Fang's side to give orders, and looked at the Xianbei knights who were cruising back and forth in the distance, frowning, and said, "Grazing here?" ”

In previous years, the Hu people would also go south, but most of them were in autumn and winter, and now they have just entered the summer, and some people have begun to appear here, which makes the guards very unhappy.

"These people are tempting!" Sun Fang sighed: "If we don't respond, next year, this will be their pasture!" ”

"Response?" The adjutant general had a headache: "Now there are only two hundred defenders in the city, how to respond?" ”

If they go out of the city, these people will run away, and it is impossible to catch up, and it is easy to be ambushed, but let them run here, and the few crops will either be trampled or eaten by the horses, who can stand this?

"Don't worry, now that the history of the Bingzhou Assassin has arrived in Taiyuan, Taishou has also handed over the military power, and reinforcements should be sent soon." Sun Fang said with a smile.

"I heard that this new assassin is a young man, what does the imperial court think?" The adjutant pouted.

"Although he is a teenager, but his ability is not small, I heard that he has participated in many battles in Luoyang, and he can win more with less, and he has pacified the white wave thieves before, and the means are also quite powerful, if you see it in the future, you can't be rude!" Sun Fang frowned.

"The rules will be understood." The adjutant general smiled indifferently: "But the things in this officialdom are mostly touted, what is the ability of the white wave thief, but a group of rabble, if we go to war, it will be devastated." ”

"Hao Jian, be cautious!" Sun Fang frowned and glared at him.

"The last will understand." The adjutant general nodded, looking at the Xianbei people outside the city who had begun to graze: "It's better to ...... the last general."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a cavalry in the distance suddenly kill, and before the Xianbei head could shout, he was shot through the throat by a cluster of arrows that broke through the air.

There were not many cavalry that followed, but the skill of riding and archery was quite powerful, and it fell in an instant, and the remaining Xianbei people began to flee in all directions when they saw this, and some saw that they could not escape, so they rushed to the side directly, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground to surrender.

"Where did the cavalry come from?" Hao Jian was surprised: "This riding and archery kung fu is no worse than that of Xianbei people!" ”

"It's the Huns!" Sun Fang held the female wall in his hand, frowned and looked at the cavalry that suddenly killed, Xianbei and Xiongnu are all ethnic groups on horseback, growing up on horseback since childhood, riding and archery kung fu is incomparable to the Han people no matter how they practice, Sun Fangjiu Town Border Pass, although this Hun cavalry is wearing the clothes and armor of the Han people, but it can still be recognized, and some habits are impossible for the Han people to have.

"Huns?" Hao Jian frowned and looked at the battle that had gradually subsided: "Hun cavalry, can there be such military discipline?" ”

Sun Fang shook his head, this is also what he is most worried about, if the Huns or Xianbei people have this kind of military discipline, it will definitely be a disaster for the Han army.

As he spoke, he saw one of the men and horses galloping out and running straight to the city gate.

Hao Jian subconsciously raised his bow and arrow, but was stopped by Sun Fang.

But he saw that the rider came to the city and shouted to the city: "I am Bao Geng, the commander of the Taiyuan cavalry, my lord has gone outside the city, and I ask the city guard to open the city gate quickly!" ”

Sun Fanglang said: "Do you have a certificate?" ”

"Yes!" Bao Geng took out an arrow from the quiver, folded the arrow cluster, tied a token to the shaft of the arrow, and shot an arrow towards the city.

Lost the cluster of arrows, and hung a token, the headless arrow shot up crookedly, was grabbed by a soldier, and handed it to Sun Fang.

"It's indeed me who is the arrow!" Sun Fang handed the arrow to Hao Jian and shouted at Bao Geng: "But I don't know where the envoy is?" ”

"The south of the city will be there in a moment." Bao Genglang said.

"General Bao, those behind you, but the Huns?" Sun Fang did not open the city, but pointed to the soldiers behind Bao Geng and asked.

"These are the Huns who followed the Huns to the east of the Cholera River with the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and then the Zuoxian King Yufuluo surrendered, and these Huns also joined the command of the lord, and now they are our soldiers." Bao Geng nodded.

"Forgive me for being rude, before I see the envoy, I am afraid it will be difficult to open the city!" Sun Fang shook his head and said.

Bao Geng frowned, but he didn't have a seizure, just nodded, turned his horse's head to clean up those Xianbei captives, and by the way, drove the sheep they brought together to prepare to enter the city.

"General, a troop of soldiers and horses has been found in the south of the city." A tun general hurried over and said to Sun Fang.

"How many centaurs?" Sun Fang asked.

"Two hundred."

After Sun Fang was silent for a moment, he looked at Hao Jian and said, "You are watching these people here, I'll take a look." ”

"Whoa!" Hao Jian agreed, and Sun Fang turned around and walked along the city wall all the way to the southern city.

When he came to Nancheng, he saw that a group of men and horses outside the city had been lined up, and two hundred people were under the city wall, which looked a little thin, but the momentum of this group of men and horses made Sun Fang moved.

There are two horses standing in front of the formation, one of them is well-proportioned, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like a star, looking forward to it, he has a majesty, on his side, but he is a burly and fierce, even across the city wall, he can feel the other party's gaze from time to time, that fierce atmosphere.

"The general, are you the general of this Mayi?" Dian Wei saw Sun Fang's armor at a glance, and shouted loudly, his voice was very loud, the sound was like muffled thunder, and the rammed earth walls continued to fall dust.

"The last general, Sun Fang, your Excellency is ......" Sun Fang stood up and nodded.

"Chen Mo!" Chen Moce immediately stepped forward, looked at the archers on both sides, and said loudly: "The official seal has been sent, if General Sun is sure, please return it as soon as possible!" ”

Sun Fang took the seal ribbon handed over by the general, looked at it carefully for a moment, looked at the people behind Chen Mo, and said to the soldiers on the side: "Open the city!" ”

"Whoa!" His own soldiers went down to the city, and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let Chen Mo and others enter the city.

"The last general, Sun Fang, see the envoy!" Sun Fang led his troops down and saluted Chen Mo.

"The general doesn't have to be polite, he didn't report in advance, don't blame the general, Bao Geng should have arrived before me, it seems that he didn't enter the city?" Chen Mo stretched out his hand to help Sun Fang up, and asked as he walked.

"But there is a general who calls himself Bao Geng, but the soldiers under his command are all Huns, and the last general will not dare to let him enter the city." Sun Fang nodded.

"It is indeed my general, as for those Huns, I recruited them from Yufuluo, after very strict training, General Sun does not have to worry, if these people dare not abide by military discipline after entering the city, they can be killed on the spot!" Chen Mo smiled.

"Whoa!" Sun Fang nodded in response, turned his head and ordered a soldier to go to pass the order, looked at the soldiers behind Chen Mo, Sun Fang asked casually: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the envoy brought with him when he came to Yanmen this time?" ”

"Two hundred guards, two hundred cavalry." Chen Mo smiled.

"I wonder why the general didn't go to the Yin Pavilion and came here first?" Sun Fang wondered.

The Yin Pavilion is the seat of Yanmen County, and if Chen Mo wants to take over Yanmen, he should naturally go to the Yin Pavilion first.

"If you want to receive Yanmen, you should naturally know the truth about Yanmen, I heard that since last year, Xianbei people have become more and more rampant, and Mayi is the most infested place for Xianbei people, since you should take a look first, over there in the Yin Pavilion, I have sent someone to pass it on." Chen Mo came to the government office accompanied by Sun Fang and said with a smile: "Along the way, I met a few Xianbei tribes. ”

Although it was scattered, watching those people use the fields as pasture for grazing made Chen Mo very unhappy.

"Now the defenders of Mayi are less than two hundred, and the last general also wants to expel them, but he is powerless." Sun Fang smiled bitterly, of course, it is also the loss of the prestige of the Han Dynasty, otherwise even if there are only two hundred defenders in Mayi, those Xianbei people will not dare to run here to graze.

"This is a temptation, if you don't care about it this year, next year, I'm afraid it will be even more rampant." Chen Mo frowned.

This is clearly a horse race.

"The last general naturally knows, but now the total strength of the entire Yanmen is less than 3,000, and most of them have to guard the city, and they are unable to expel it at all." Sun Fang smiled bitterly.

Chen Mo nodded, it seemed to be the lack of garrison strength, but in fact it was the imperial court's control over the border areas and the loss of deterrence against the Hu people.

"Lord, Bao Geng is back, and he has brought a few Xianbei prisoners!" Dian Wei came in from outside the door and bowed to Chen Mo.

"Let him bring in those Xianbei captives with him." Chen Mo nodded.

Soon, six Xianbei captives were brought in, and several Xianbei captives had humble expressions and chattered words that people could not understand.

"Agul, what now?"

"What can I do? The Han people like us to kowtow to them, and if he asks us questions in a while, we will kowtow. ”

"How is it that a young man sits on the throne? It doesn't look very powerful. ”

"Don't worry about him, just kowtow for a while."

"Actually, what we Han people want is not for you to kowtow, but to admit your mistakes, my Han does not kneel and bow, you seem to have any misunderstanding of my Han?" A somewhat stiff Xianbei language interjected, and several Xianbei people suddenly fell silent, looking at Chen Mo with a shocked expression.

Not only these Xianbei people, Sun Fang also looked at Chen Mo unexpectedly: "As far as the last general knows, the envoy was not born in the border area, how can he understand the Fanbang language?" ”

As for whether what Chen Mo said was false, just look at the shocked expressions on the faces of those Xianbei people.

"Well, before leaving, I found someone in Taiyuan who understands Xianbei dialect, this thing is not too difficult to learn, and there are many similarities with the words here in Bingzhou." Chen Mo explained.

Sun Fang rubbed his temples: "How can the envoy be interested in Fanbang's words." ”

No matter how you say it, Chen Mo is a scholar.

"Since you want to occupy Yanmen, it is indispensable to communicate, and I don't want someone to talk in front of me in the future with a frightened face like them." Chen Mo glanced at these stunned Xianbei people, and said with some amusement.

"I wonder when you started learning?" Sun Fang swallowed and asked.

"Counting today, it's been five days, and I'm not learning very well." Chen Mo smiled: "But it's not difficult to understand what they are saying. ”

Sun Fang was speechless......
