Chapter 16: The First Encounter

Zhang Ju rebel camp, a group of rebel generals gathered in the camp tent.

"Where did the Han army go?" Zhang Ju asked.

"Tell the general that the Han army is still hundreds of miles away from our army, and it is impossible to catch up with us in at least three days." The adjutant replied.

"According to our estimates, the Han army will not find us for at least a week, but now it has been detected by the Han army in just three days, and it seems that there are also capable people in the Han army." Strategist Yang Wendao.

"Hmph, the Han army is just relying on the numerical advantage, otherwise how could it be the opponent of my Wuhuan warriors." The leader of the Wuhuan said.

"If nothing happens, our army will be able to arrive in Jicheng tomorrow, and then Liu Yu Lao'er may have to open the city and surrender." Zhang Ju said with a smile.

"But Liu Yu is a member of the Han clan, I'm afraid he won't give up easily, although there are only 5,000 recruits in Jicheng, but Liu Yu will definitely not give up like this." Yang Wendao.

"Then let them see how powerful my Wuhuan warriors are." Habu slapped the table.

On the official road, Wuhuan cavalry took the lead, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty, the Han army broke the Xiongnu, expelled the Xiongnu from Monan, Wuhuan was subordinate to the Han Dynasty again, and moved south to Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong five counties stationed outside the herd, on behalf of the Han and Northern Xiongnu. In the period of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wuhuan moved south from the five counties to the ten counties of Liaodong, Yuyang and Shuofang on the edge of the Sai. Wuhuan moved south twice during the two Han Dynasty and gradually developed and expanded, but it was under the jurisdiction of the Han Wuhuan Lieutenant, divided into a number of tribes, each of which had its own government, and never formed a unified tribal alliance.

But in recent years, Qiu Liju, the Wuhuan leader in western Liao, is also a genius in the sky, the most powerful in the Wuhuan tribe, and has gradually become the king of the Wuhuan people. This person's eyes were very vicious, and he saw the current decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he began to no longer follow the previous strategy of getting close to the Han Dynasty. Constantly harassing the borders of the Han Dynasty, they came to Youzhou to burn and loot, and even in Qingzhou, Jizhou and other Central Plains have their footprints.

This time it's autumn again, and this time of year is when the Wuhuan people come to Dahan to fight the grass valley. Because spring is the season when livestock and horses begin to mate, summer to autumn is the time when water and grass are abundant, horses, cattle and sheep grow fat, and midwinter is not suitable for fighting. Only in late autumn is the time when the Wuhuan people are the most leisurely, and the livestock and horses are the fattest. At this time, regardless of the relationship between the Wuhuan people and the Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan King would invade the Han Dynasty with the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry, plundering grain to prepare for the winter.

About sixty or seventy miles outside Jixian County, there were two tall men dressed as foreigners riding horses in front, and what was followed by five thousand Wuhuan cavalry. These two people are the two generals sent by Qiu Liju, the king of Wuhuan, Sumur and Wudan, when Zhang Chun Zhang Ju rebelled, Qiu Liju wanted Qiu Liju to support behind him, although Qiu Liju had not yet rebelled, but he also sent troops to join the rebels.

Sumur is tall and tall, definitely more than two meters tall, with a mace in his hand, this person is also the heir of a major tribe of Wuhuan, and his martial arts are among the top three even in Wuhuan. And Udan is also tall and big, but the difference is that Udan is a big fat man, the so-called man fat is not lost, this person has a big hammer on each of his left and right hands, each of which has 40 kilograms. He is also a good hand in the Karasuma tribe.

"Brother Sumur, beyond this mountain is the boundary of Jixian County, this time we must go to Youzhou to grab a good bit, whether it is money, food, or women, I will rob them all, kill all these Han people, and try to destroy their villages." Hahaha" Udan laughed insolently, in their eyes, the army of the Han Dynasty was like an ant, which could pinch them to death with a pinch.

"Wudan, don't underestimate the enemy too much, although Youzhou Mu Liu Yu has not been in office for a long time, this person is not only a member of the Han family, but also a capable minister." Subur frowned, he didn't know why, this time he came out, he always felt a haze in his heart, with a sense of foreboding.

"What are you afraid of, Brother Sumur, the Han people are powerless, we have been fighting the grass valley so easily for so many years, and we have never seen the Han people have any ability to resist. Even if there is a new state pastor, I can hammer him to death with a single hammer. Udan swung the hammer in his hand a few times, his face full of disdain.

"I hope so." Sumur said with some concern.

The army continued to advance towards Jixian. Suddenly, a scout horse flew over, "Report to Lord Sumur, there are hundreds of Han troops escorting more than twenty carts ten miles ahead. ”

Sumur frowned and asked, "Do you know what's in that car?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, the villain is afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so he doesn't dare to get close to watch, but there is a little grain and grass falling from the place where the Han army passes."

"Hahaha, Brother Sumur, it must be the Han army's grain team, hurry up and give the order and rob them." Udan shouted anxiously.

Su Muer's brows furrowed even deeper, "Wudan, don't you think it's very strange for the Han army to escort grain and grass at this time?" I know that our Wuhuan people are coming, but we are still escorting this grain and grass, there must be some conspiracy in it!! ”

"Brother Sumur, what are you afraid of, can the Han army still make our opponents? Besides, aren't we here to grab food, and the people of Karasuma are still waiting for our food for the winter. How could such a great opportunity be given up. Udan shouted dissatisfied.

"Good!! You're right, the whole army is attacking. Sumur hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Haha, that's right." Udan laughed wildly.

Five thousand cavalry rushed wildly, the earth shook for a while, and the ten-mile distance was only a matter of half a cup of tea in front of the Wuhuan cavalry in the wild running, and it didn't take long for the Han army's grain team to appear in front of them.

"Kill... Kill. Udan took the lead and brandished a hammer to kill the Han army.

Bursts of shouts echoed through the mountain road. The Han army saw that it was the Karasuma cavalry coming, and it was densely packed, and they couldn't count it clearly, and they were all stupid for a while.

"Mom, run, the Karasuma people are here." I don't know where a voice came from in the Han army. Fear can be spread, and all at once all the Han troops threw down their weapons and fled, forgetting all the food.
