The next morning, when the sky was just getting dark, everyone could vaguely see two large sheets of cooking smoke rising from a distance of more than ten miles, and then easily mixing together in the air - no way, the distance of more than ten miles was really meaningless to the green smoke in the air.

In fact, this distance did not seem to mean much to the forces of both sides, which were almost entirely cavalry.

And from this point of view, even if he escaped, this Ke Zitan was probably forced, and Zhao Taishou's side was definitely red-eyed by the sudden change, so he pounced directly like an enraged tiger.

Think about it, who can be willing to do this? If you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die?!

Due to yesterday's unexpected situation, Gongsun Xun did not venture to follow Mo Huqi into the Zhongjun tent this time, but like most people in the camp, he began to check the bowstring, wipe the sword, and repair the spear again after breakfast...... And it wasn't until this time that Gongsun Xun really felt the difference between Xianbei and Dahan.

As far as the world can see, only a few wealthy tribes are equipped with swords and swords, which are extremely iron-intensive weapons, and most of the Xianbei people's standard equipment should be bows and spears, the former only needs to be made of iron, and the latter is similar, and an iron spearhead is enough to cause lethality.

As for the iron armor that was popularized on almost every soldier in the Han army...... Gongsun Xun seems to have only seen some of them in Ke Zitan's big tent yesterday, but now that he thinks about it, it should be the treatment that only those leaders can enjoy, as well as Ke Zitan, the most trusted personal guard of the central adults.

Therefore, it is no wonder that there is a saying that one Han is the five Hu, and it is no wonder that there is a Qu Junhou with a rank of 600 stone for 200 people in the Han Military Region, and 200 Han troops are worth this price.

However, when Gongsun Xun set his eyes on the horses that were almost everywhere in the camp, he quickly calmed down. In any case, this Xianbei person has his own set of merits, otherwise why would he become a big country of thousands of miles? Why has it become the main border trouble of the Han Dynasty?

I've been in contact with Xianbei people for so long, don't you know? A sturdy herdsman, armed with a bow and arrows, a spear, and a horse, is enough to threaten anyone's life.

And I'm one of them!

"Brother!" While he was thinking wildly, Gongsun Fan had already brought two horses.

It turned out that at this time, Mo Huqi had already returned from participating in the military conference, and the entire Xianbei camp began to boil...... The various divisions seem to have begun to march out of the camp under the leadership of their respective leaders.

"Mo Huqi said that he won the position in the front line." Gongsun Fan explained in a low voice. "We're going to get out of camp first."

"The best." Gongsun Xun got on one of the horses a little absentmindedly, but then turned over again. "Afan, let's replace the horse ......"

Gongsun Fan was puzzled, but still let out the white horse under his crotch.

"The sword has no eyes in the battle array." Gongsun Xun explained a little. "I'll run away directly, it doesn't matter what I ride, if you stay to block the enemy, the white horse in the battle formation is too conspicuous......"

Gongsun Fan leaned over slightly, but at this time, he was nervous and didn't dare to say more.

In this way, the gate of the camp was opened, and ten thousand horsemen slowly came out......

And the formation of the confrontation is not as imagined to gather a large army to advance at the beginning, and then calculate the distance to stop.

In fact, the rangers of both sides had been testing each other since the morning at a wide spot ahead; Then, the two sides soon had a small group of elites tentatively pounce to deter the other side from seizing the dominant terrain; In the end, it turned out that the Mohu Department was ordered to gather with a group of elites of the Xianbei Chinese army, and suddenly accelerated forward with a scale of nearly six or seven hundred horsemen, and after coming to the front line, they took a look at a Wuhuan turf cavalry of nearly 1,000 people on the opposite side, shot a few arrows at each other, calculated the distance, and then restrained the rangers and retreated hundreds of meters before they completely determined the place where the two armies would face each other.

But the so-called cautious temptation ended there, and the armies of both sides marched to the ...... in accordance with the prior arrangement Tens of thousands of cavalry opened their formations, and the dust rolled up really covered the sky!

After more than an hour, the two armies stabilized their respective positions and faced each other face to face at a distance of several hundred meters. And the commanders of both sides probably never thought that when these two armies were facing each other, there were five Han people hiding at the forefront of the Xianbei Chinese army.

The first to come out to negotiate was not the Xianbei people, but the Han army, a low-level Han army officer who knew the Xianbei language came directly while shouting and beating horses, and the Xianbei people also let go of the military formation and let them go straight into the Chinese army.

"My family guard asked me to ask you, where are his mother, wife, and daughter?" This Han army, who looked like a commander in costume, came to the front and back of the Chinese army formation, and did not identify who was the leading general, so he directly reined in the war horse and questioned. "If you have been killed, tell me where the body is buried, and he will go to pay his respects after he has killed you. If you are still alive, hand it over now, and you will surely die a good death later! Otherwise, after this battle, regardless of life and death, the person in charge will inevitably be cooked and eaten by the hosts! You must know that when I came, my Taishou had already set up a big cauldron in the camp to wait! ”

The leaders of the Xianbei Chinese Army changed their colors when they heard this, and after the warless Ke Zitan laughed dryly, he hurriedly replied: "I am a subordinate of the Great Khan of Xianbei Tanshi Huai, and the central lord Ke is the most frank, and now I have a word, please tell this strong man to Zhao Taishou for me...... Although our Da Xianbei and the Great Han are empires, but after I met his family in Liucheng, they have always treated each other with courtesy, and in the battle array, several warriors who accompanied him naturally died, but his mother, wife, and daughter all stayed in my camp alive......"

"Then just say to let it go or not to let it go?" The officers of the Han army were impatient.

"Mother and son affection, how can you not let go?" Ke Zitan hurriedly replied. "I am a Xianbei nobleman, don't you know that you Han people value filial piety the most? But please ask this warrior to go back and tell Zhao Taishou that the person can be released, and before releasing the person, I will let him see with his own eyes whether his family is safe or not, but only ten people will meet before the battle...... Of course, if he can be sure that it is correct, I also ask Zhao Taishou to withdraw the army to Yangle City first for the sake of my filial piety, and then come to pick up his mother after my army leaves, and I Ke Zhitan will definitely guarantee his mother's safety. ”

The Han army officer looked the young commander on the other side up and down, sneered, and then directly hit the horse and left.

"Where are the Mo Hutou people?"

As Ke Zitan shouted, the Mo Hu army formation, which was originally at the forefront of the Chinese army, couldn't help but stir, from Mo Hu to several of his henchmen, from Gongsun Xun to Lou Gui, several people couldn't help but hold the reins and look at each other...... It seems that Gongsun Xun still guessed Na Ke's most frank mind!

However, this is not the time to think too much, Gongsun Xun immediately stepped forward with Cheng Pu and Lou Gui, surrounded Mo Huqi, and walked straight to Ke Zitan.

"Mo Hutou people." After seeing the other party coming from a distance, Na Ke Zitan immediately sat down on his horse and commanded. "You are proficient in Chinese, and I will take my team of elite soldiers from the headquarters and the family of Zhao Taishou to step forward together, and I must tell that Zhao Taishou my sincerity...... As long as the troops are withdrawn, his mother, wife and daughter will all be fine, but if he does not agree...... Tayu! ”

"The subordinates are here." A bald henchman who belonged directly to Ke Zitan hurriedly reined in his horse and leaned forward half of his body, and he was wearing a Han iron armor that was extremely rare in the Xianbei army.

"You don't care about the negotiation of the Mo household, as long as you protect the family of Zhao Taishou, don't be taken away by them." Ke commanded in a frank voice. "When he came to the front, he saw the men, and shot an arrow, and allowed them to come near and talk to each other. But if you go any further, whether it is Zhao Taishou alone, or the other party's army covering up, you will directly start with the youngest one and kill people in turn! All in all, unless I send a confidant with you to inform me to release him, you will take someone there to watch with me! ”

"Subordinates understood!" The bald man who was called Ta You hurriedly agreed. "The Han people will kill them directly if they are more than half a stone's throw away, otherwise they will always take care of the three women and wait for the news of adults!"

"That's right, let's go and bring people out with the Mohutou people!" Ke Zitan nodded, and when his gaze swept over the three horses behind Mo Huxuan, he didn't think much about it, but took out a cat from the satchel behind the horse and threw it to Gongsun Xun. "The ...... of the Mohu Department Bring this with you, if that Zhao Taishou gives face, give him this back too. ”

Gongsun Xun took the kitten into his arms, didn't say much, leaned over slightly on the horse, and followed Mo Huyun.

"It can't be dumb, right?" Ke Zitan shook his head a little irritably, but in the middle of the army, he finally didn't pay much attention to it.

And just when the three women were about to be escorted to the two armies, there was chaos in the Han army on the other side.

"Taishou can't go!" This is the county soldier Cao Rafter dragging the horse's head to death.

"Zhao Gong is the head of the three armies, if you go out on a business trip, don't say if your mother can be saved, these three armies have no leader, and the Han army and Wuhuan are mixed, and the three counties are mixed, and I am afraid that there will be a big fork in the matter!" This is the Liaodong Governor Shi who came to help in the war, and pulled the opponent's armor.

Even a tall Wuhuan leader who had been squinting his eyes next to him couldn't help but restrain his horse and persuade him at this time: "Zhao Taishou, I know that you Han people pay attention to filial piety, but now I can't distinguish between truth and falsehood...... It's better for my nephew to come forward and take a rough look at the reality for you, he is a kid with excellent martial arts, you can rest assured ......"

"How can you let someone else do your mother's business?" Zhao Taishou, who was immediately wearing iron armor, suddenly took off his helmet, only to see that his eyes were red, and everywhere he looked, everyone consciously avoided it. "Qiu Li is alone in the ......"

"I'm here." The Wuhuan leader hurriedly bowed his head.

"You swear in front of me now, if I Zhao Bao does not come back, you will also obey the command of Han Changshi, a vassal state of Liaodong, and continue to fight...... If you don't beat this Xianbei people behind Liucheng, you will never withdraw your troops! ”

Qiu Liju looked at the Liaoxi Taishou in front of him, who had just arrived not long ago, and when he moved his gaze to the other party's red eyes, he finally sighed helplessly, and then pointed to Tianming and swore an oath: "It's okay!" I, Qiu Liju, swear here, no matter whether Zhao Gong has something to do on this trip or not, I must obey the orders of the Han army and drive the Xianbei people in front of the battle to Liucheng before withdrawing the army! Otherwise, or I will be killed and trampled into meat by the horses' hooves! Is it feasible? ”

Zhao Bao bowed slightly, and then looked at the subordinate county officials at the horse's head: "Don't you want me to force you to swear in public?" Hurry back and command the troops! ”

The soldier in this county was helpless, and finally let go of his hand.

"Han Changshi." Zhao Bao finally looked at the history of the governor of Liaodong beside him, but handed over his helmet again. "Please rest assured, I, Zhao Bao, have been taught righteousness by my mother since I was a child, and I have a plan in my heart...... If I come back and don't say anything, if I don't come back, please command the three armies for me and avenge my whole family! Don't forget, the cauldron is still boiling! ”

Han Changshi let out a long sigh, and finally let go of the opponent's armor, then took the opponent's helmet with both hands and held it respectfully on his chest.

At this point, Zhao Bao had no nostalgia, and only led nine people to directly meet the Xianbei group that was already faintly visible in front of him.

"Right here!" The iron-clad bald man called Ta You was directly on a small gentle slope, and then turned around and commanded in Xianbei language. "Bring the three women up, leave the three people to dismount, and stand behind the women with the Mohu people, take care of them, and be ready to do it at any time! The remaining dozen or so people rode to the front of the small slope to prevent the opposite side from rushing into battle! When you get off the horse, drive the horse back and don't put it aside...... You're a, do you hear that? I'll let you go! ”

"This Xianbei dog is quite thoughtful!" Although Lou Gui couldn't understand what the other party said, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry when he saw the other party arranging the formation like this and putting the horses back. "People have their arms tied, why are they still so careful?"

"Shut up!" Gongsun Xun reprimanded helplessly.

"Those three Mohu tribes!" Tayou, who was standing on the slope, suddenly noticed the three of them again. "Two of you go to the left side, and come down and let the horses go......

"We people in the Mohu Department only listen to the words of our own heads!" Gongsun Xun didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, so he refuted it in Xianbei with some wrong accents, and said, and even came to Na Ta You directly with a spear and a horse. "You are Ke's cronies, so you can't control me!"

Lou Gui and Mo Huqi were almost speechless in fright, so they could only force their composure to look around to see the scenery.

However, the bald man who was called Ta You looked at Gongsun Xun with wide eyes, then at the spear in Gongsun Xun's hand, and then at Mo Huyun, who was slashing around but not saying a word, and finally couldn't help but sneer: "Whatever, it's not bad for the three of you...... But you Mohu Department is really good, the Chinese language is so neat, but the Xianbei language is not good! I don't know if it's a Xianbei person! ”

As he spoke, ten horsemen galloped in the distance, and when he saw this, he hurriedly raised his bow and shot arrows, and Gongsun Xun retreated.

"There's a small hill on the left." Cheng Pu is indeed a bold person, and the ones who can remain calm in such a situation are him and Gongsun Xun. "Later, the three of us rode over, each of us scooped up one and ran directly over there to dodge."

"See." Gongsun Xun replied in a low voice. "I just said that I wanted the old lady to notice me, but she looked so depressed that even I, the person who had met her several times, didn't notice it...... So, don't expect them to cooperate. ”

"In that case, we must first kill the bald man and the three people in charge of the execution." Lou Gui swallowed and whispered to join the discussion. "Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to save people."

"And it won't be convenient until Zhao Taishou retreats to safety......," Cheng Pu added. Otherwise, if the person is not saved, but loses a Taishou, then we are really guilty and useless. ”

"I'll kill that bald man," Gongsun Xun instructed after thinking for a moment. "The two of you will lean over while you are talking, and have a good time with Mo Hu, and the time is when I do it...... As soon as I make a move, you will also do it, and you must hit it with one blow...... And the bald head stood on the high point of the slope, and they could see it clearly even by Yigong and Ah Fan behind. ”

While whispering, the word 'stop' translated by Mo Huqian had already come from the slope. Gongsun Xun didn't say anything more, and went uphill directly with a spear, and stood behind the bald man with a swagger. And Na Tayou only glanced at him, and then continued to look nervously at the ten horses down the slope!

I didn't even know anyone!

Gongsun Xun became more and more discouraged after looking at it, and then finally determined that everything could only be done on his own!

"Mother!" When Zhao Bao saw his mother, he had no doubts.

"Weihao (Zhao Baozi)!" The old lady Zhao, who was tied with her arms tied behind her back, saw the person coming, and finally seemed to have recovered a trace of her spirit from the numbness.

The mother and son looked at each other from afar, as if they were about to speak, but Ta You didn't say anything when he saw this, and Mo Huyun naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to interject at this time...... In fact, he heard Cheng Pu's whispering behind him.

"Mother, I should have dismounted and knelt down to plead guilty, but I am in armor, and I ask you to forgive me for not being able to bow fully." Zhao Bao cried like rain down the slope, but he stood on the horse and spoke. "Mother...... In any case, this incident was caused by his son. I came out to be an official, originally I wanted to earn some money and glory to support your old man, but I never expected to cause you trouble! Mother, you taught me that day, since you came out to be an official, you must do the way of a man and a minister, and you should not destroy the festival of loyalty because of any personal matter, because the festival of loyalty is as big as the sky...... But the mother and son are family, isn't filial piety as big as the sky? The son is in this situation, and he dares to ask his mother again, is it only possible to atone for his sins once he dies? ”

"Weihao!" Old Madam Zhao stood up straight and shouted reluctantly, as if she had already had a draft. "Since you asked me, then I, as a mother, naturally have something to teach you...... Listen, everyone has their own fate, how can a mother be blamed on being a son because she encounters an enemy army on the way?! But there's nothing wrong with you, either...... You must know that as the lord of a county and the head of three armies, your personal life involves the safety of tens of thousands of people, how can you make such a move as abandoning the army before the battle to meet an old woman of mine? ”

The ten Han cavalry armies under the slope were in a commotion, and Mo Huqi, who knew Chinese, was dumbfounded.

"Don't you understand?" Old Madam Zhao scolded louder and louder. "The only thing you've done wrong right now is to be here! Hurry up and get back with me and send troops! ”

Zhao Taishou originally had all kinds of words, but as soon as he came here, he heard his mother's words, and for a while he only felt a sense of indignation in his chest, so he shouted hard, but suddenly hit the horse and galloped away.

"What's going on?" The bald man who changed to a couch was puzzled, and quickly turned around and asked in Xianbei words. "Why did you just come and leave? Didn't mother and son talk and cry when they saw each other just now? Quite right, huh? What did you say...... This big man in the Mohu Department, the mother and son of the Han people just cry, why do you also have tears? Mother and son are ...... about you."

"The windward is just blinded." Gongsun Xun wiped his face, but he pointed down the slope again. "Look, isn't that Taishou back again?"

When the bald man heard this, he hurriedly turned around to look, but unexpectedly, a spear suddenly plunged directly into the back of his neck, but it was extremely ruthless, and it came out through the neck, not to mention, the spearhead was inserted into the crotch and the horse's head before he stopped his strength!

Immediately afterwards, with the wail of the war horse, I saw that the bald cronies of the adults in the middle of Xianbei were actually on the top of the small slope in front of the two armies under the eyes of tens of thousands of people, and even the people and horses fell on the slope!

"Zhao Baozi Weihao, a native of Dongwu City, Ganling (Qinghe)...... The mother was taken captive by Xianbei and carried to hit the county. The bud rate rode 20,000 and the thief to Chen, the thief out of the mother to show the bud, the bud sad, said the mother said: "For the son has no form, want to Weilu to support the day and night, do not want to make trouble for the mother, used to be the mother and son, now for the king's ministers, the duty must not care about selfishness, destroy the loyalty festival, only when ten thousand death, there is no crime." The mother said proudly: "Weihao, everyone has a life, how can we take care of each other to lose loyalty, and you can encourage it!" "Bao Sorrow and go, once you return to the battle, you will enter the battle immediately!" - Book of the Later Han Dynasty, vol. 81. Solo Ranks
