Che La asked with some confusion: "Lord, are you worried that the Wuhuan people will become a disaster for my Han?" ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Not bad." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe Wuhuan tribe is too close to the Great Wall, and it will take half a day to reach it dozens of miles. If Wuhuan has the heart to rebel, the morning and evening come, and my guards are not prepared, although there is danger, you can also go down in one go. In just a few days, Youzhou may become a ranch for the Wuhuan people. If it is bolder, the two states of Qingdao and Hebei may not be able to advance and retreat as if they are in a no-man's land. ”

Wen Feng said with a strange face: "Is the county lieutenant too worried, the Wuhuan clan has not had the tendency to merge in the past three hundred years, and there are no less than hundreds of adults in the clan, each of whom is not convinced by each other, and often attacks each other, like a rabble. Although the Wuhuan soldiers and horses are strong, there should be no threat to my big man. ”

Che La said thoughtfully: "In the past, the Huns were also a rabble in the pre-Qin period, and after decades of the early establishment of the former Han Dynasty, they became the century-old enemies of our Chinese people. The Xianbei people were also a rabble decades ago, but they were just a sandalwood locust, and they became a great threat to me. Fortunately, Tanshi Huai died early, and his son and Lian were stupid, and it was difficult to become a general trend, otherwise Xianbei would not be the next Huns? ”

"At this time, although the Wuhuan people were scattered, there were 100,000 people in their tribes, and there were no less than 30,000 or 40,000 people who could fight with bows. And the Wuhuan and Xianbei clans speak the same clan, how do you know that they will not merge? The law of the desert steppe is that whoever finally prevails, everyone else is his people. As long as Wuhuan produces a man of great talent, will he not become the next Xianbei or Xiongnu? ”

Wen Feng was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Hey, thirty or forty thousand Karasuma Sudden Riders? In this way, you really can't take the Wuhuan people lightly. Not good, in June last year, I heard that Qiu Liju, the Wuhuan lord in western Liaoning, claimed to be Shan Yu of the Wuhuan people, and made friends with Su Muyan of Liaodong's vassal state, Wuyan of Yuyang, and Nanlou of Shangjun. At that time, the subordinates still thought that they were Yelang's arrogant moves, but at this time, do they want to unify Wuhuan? ”

Han Yi was taken aback and asked, "This was a year ago?" How did the inaugurated county magistrates and county lieutenants react? Have you ever reported that Yuyang Taishou knows? What happened to them at this point? ”

Wen Feng timidly shrank his head and responded: "The villain once reported to the former county lieutenant that he knew, but because he didn't take it to heart, he couldn't report it to Taishou in time." The former county magistrate and county lieutenant also thought that the four of them were arrogant, and it was the time when the Yellow Turban Moth thieves were in turmoil, and Wuhuan Land was outside the territory, so they didn't pay attention to it. ”

"As for the situation of the four of them, Nanlou listened to orders under the command of Captain Wu Huan, and there seemed to be no change. However, Wu Yan, the Wuhuan lord of Yuyang, led his troops to the east before April, and helped Qiu Liju to attack the Wuhuan troops in western Liao. I heard that Qiu Liju won a great victory, and made an alliance with Su Muyan and Wu Yan to kill horses on the White Wolf Mountain, and respected each other as kings. This matter has already spread throughout the counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang. All the county guards should have heard of it. ”

Han Yi frowned and asked, "At this time, how many soldiers and horses do the three departments of Qiu Liju, Su Fuyan, and Wuyan have. ”

Wen Feng scratched his head and said, "I heard that the Qiu Li Residence Department has annexed many Wuhuan tribes, and at this time, there are four or five thousand tribes. Su Fuyan, a vassal state of Liaodong, proclaimed himself the king of the cliff, and there were more than 1,000 people. Wuyan of Yuyang, who proclaimed himself the king of Khan Lu, had more than 800 people. ”

Han Yi gasped, these three departments combined with 7,000 people, accounting for as much as 30% of the Wuhuan clan. According to the calculation of one or two troops sent out at a time, then they will at least have a large number of cavalry. With this Wuhuan Turquoise cavalry of more than 10,000 people, even in the desert grassland, it is also a large force. If the Wuhuan tribes are unified in this way, with the Wuhuan tribes only a few hundred scattered tribes, and the state of scattered sand, it will not take three years to unify the Wuhuan tribes.

Han Yi couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, the Wuhuan shaped like scattered sand was the right-hand man of the Great Han, but the unified Wuhuan was a potential disaster for the Great Han. In the former Han Dynasty Emperor Wudi, the Han army had rescued Wuhuan who was invaded by the Xiongnu, and after the defeat of the Xiongnu, it waved its army to defeat Wuhuan. As an official of the Han Dynasty, he should put the interests of the Han Dynasty first, and try to break the general trend of unification of Wuhuan.

Han Yi asked: "This fashion is in the Yuyang Realm, and how many Wuhuan Divisions are close to my Qiping County?" Who are their adults? How strong is it? ”

Wen Feng said: "Back to the county lieutenant, the nearest Wuhuan land in Qianping County, in addition to Wuyan, which has gone east to Liaoxi, there are two more. One adult name is Sang Maha, and one adult name can be locked, and the strength of each is around three or four hundred. ”

There are only two parts, and the shepherds, cows, horses, and sheep that I saw just now belong to these two parts. The Wuhuan tribe is now showing signs of unification, and they often attack each other. These two forces are not big or small in Wuhuan, and if Wuyan returns from Liaoxi, he may not be able to annex it with the help of Qiu Liju. Rather than cheapening others, it is better to use them as ideas.

Han Yi was thinking about whether to lure these two into the Great Wall, or to be brought under his rule, or to try to kill them. Yan Zhao, who didn't want to be left at the end of the crowd, suddenly said: "County Jun, County Jun, the villain has a deep friendship with Nasang Maha and Ke Suo'er, and is willing to go out of the customs for the county king, lure the two of them here, and put them under the command of the county king, in order to resist the three black pills of Qiu Liju, Su Muyan, and Wuyan who may rebel." ”

Han Yi was startled, turned his head to look, and saw that Yan Zhao's face was constantly sweating, but his expression was firm, looking straight at Han Yi. Seeing Han Yi frowning and hesitating, Yan Zhao hurriedly explained: "The villain is quite a crime in the appointment of the soldier Cao Official, and he knows that he can't escape the investigation of the county monarch, so he has the heart to contribute to the county monarch and will make a mistake, hoping that the county monarch can forgive the villain's crimes." ”

Han Yi nodded and asked, "Are you friendly with Lord Wuhuan of these two departments?" Will they be able to listen to you? ”

Seeing Han Yi's question, Yan Zhao was overjoyed, and hurriedly explained: "The villain's family is mostly involved in businessmen, and when he trades with the Wuhuan tribe every month, he interacts with these two departments, so he is very friendly. Many villains have heard that Sang Maha and Ke Suo'er often admire the rich products of my Han, but they hate not to be born in the territory of Dahan. If you can become a citizen of the Han Dynasty, even Lord Wuhuan doesn't want to do it. ”

Han Yi said in disbelief: "There are three or four hundred, nearly two thousand people in the tribe of Lord Wuhuan, the life and death of the department is in the hands of the hand, more weight than my Han ranks. How could the two of them give up their clan power because they admired the abundant products of our Han and came to our Han for the people. It's just a casual statement, and you can believe it. ”

Yan Zhao was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Whether what the two of them said is true or false, the villain will know if he goes and has a try." If it can be done, it will summon nearly a thousand Wuhuan riders for the county monarch. If it can't be done, it won't damage the county monarch at all. ”

Han Yi touched his nose, thought for a while, and exclaimed: "Okay, if you can do this, whether you are guilty or not, I don't care, you are still your commander of the Ping soldiers, and I will also reward you with fifty gold." If the words of the two of them are false, you can also try to induce their men to vote, and as long as they exceed a hundred falls, I will count you as meritorious, and I will not sin against you. How is it? ”

Yan Zhao was overjoyed, bowed down and shouted: "The villain will live up to the trust of the county monarch, and will do this for the county monarch." ”

Seeing Yan Zhao looking up ambitiously, Han Yi suddenly realized that sometimes it is better to make merit than to make mistakes, and a guilty person will inevitably do things more conscientiously than a meritorious person in order to get rid of his crimes.

Han Yi stayed in Gubeikou for a whole day, and after inspecting the soldiers in various places in the Gubeikou Pass, he told Wen Feng not to neglect things, and then he was ready to go east along the Great Wall to see Wang Dong's headquarters guarding Simatai.

Before leaving, seeing Mi'er, who was traveling with him, was full of displeasure and pouted, he remembered something and asked, "General Wentun, is there a trace of a white eagle on this Yan Mountain?" ”

"White eagle?" Wen Feng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Back to the county lieutenant, there are white eagles, but they are raised by people." ”

"Human-raised?" Han Yi Daqi often hears that the marksman in the desert grassland likes to shoot eagles, but he doesn't want to raise eagles. "Who is it that you may ask for?"

Wen Feng laughed and said, "If it's the county lieutenant, it should be okay." Because the eagle was raised by Wang Yang, the son of Sima Tai's guard Wang Dong, that kid liked the eagle very much. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he went deep into the northern desert alone to find the eagle. It took two years to find three pairs of gray, black and white eagles. After four or five years of breeding, I am afraid that at this time, the little eagle eagle has given birth to several pairs. If the county lieutenant wants it, it should be fine. ”

Han Yi was shocked, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he went deep into the northern desert alone, when Tanshi Huai was alive, Xianbei was the enemy of the Han Dynasty, and the power was the most powerful. This person can go deep into the desert for two years and return safely, not to mention how bold and clever he is, his martial arts must be strong.

Han Yi hurriedly asked, "Is Wang Yang a recruit in the county?" ”

Wen Feng thought for a while and said: "No, Wang Dong's old wife died early, and he only has this son under his knees, because he doesn't want this son to repeat his old path as a soldier, because Wang Yang has always been just a white body, living on the side of Sima Tai Pass. ”

General Han Yi led the people to leave the Gubeikou Pass and went all the way to the Simatai Pass. Simatai is more than 30 miles away from Gubeikou, because it is all mountain roads, so this road is very difficult to walk, it took a whole day to travel, and it was not until night that it came to Simatai Pass.

As early as a day ago, Han Yi had ordered someone to come to Simatai to deliver a message, and today he will come to Simatai to inspect the customs defense. When Han Yi didn't want to arrive, he saw that the inner wall was closed and the door was closed, and no one was waiting outside, only a few braziers were laid out under the gate to light and explore the enemy. There seemed to be several guards standing on the wall, but there was no one else.
