Volume 1 The Beginning of the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 25 The Heroes Seek Death

Due to the unsuccessful search for Xiang Ao's team for more than ten days, and there was no news of the tribe being slaughtered in Xianbei, the Xianbei tribes had to temporarily revoke the order of encirclement and suppression, threatening not to let Shuofang Xiang Ao have a better time this winter, and the encirclement and suppression was hastily resolved.

This time, Xiang Ao himself didn't know why he entered Xianbei, and it was winter, Xiang Ao didn't dare to annihilate the Xianbei tribe again, so as not to be really surrounded by Xianbei. Xiang Ao still dressed the team as a small tribe and began to run around in the Xianbei tribe. If they encountered the Han people being abused by Xianbei, they would use their property or other transactions with other tribes to bear it, and they also saved hundreds of people.

However, things that made Xiang Ao feel a little strange happened one after another. The two teams of Xianbei cavalry that occasionally met also looked at Xiang Ao and the others, especially the two teams of Xianbei cavalry numbered thousands, and the soldiers were much more elite than they had seen before. Xiang Ao was so nervous that his palms were full of sweat when they met twice, if it weren't for Xiang Ao's great trust in his ability to never forget, and he had never found anyone with the same face, Xiang Ao even felt that the team had already been discovered by Xianbei.

Xiang Ao camped more than 1,000 miles northwest of Danhan Mountain for repair. In the past ten days, Xiang Ao has missed many Xianbei tribes and cavalry without danger. After many days of searching, nothing strange happened, Xiang Ao planned to leave temporarily, after all, the weather had turned cold, and snow would fall from time to time. If they continue to stay, I am afraid that this winter team will be trapped in the Xianbei Territory. A few months of Xianbei trips made Xiang Ao better understand the life of Xianbei people. Perhaps in the eyes of the people on the border of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei is cruel and ruthless, and treats human life like a mustard. But how could the people of the Han Dynasty know about the miserable life of the Xianbei people in the Northern Regions.

It is not unreasonable for the Central Plains family to despise Xianbei, in the case of the unification of Xianbei by Tanshi Huai, there is still friction between many tribes, and there are many tribes that raise troops to fight, if conditions permit, Xiang Ao even wants to be the praying mantis in the back. The same Xianbei herdsmen did not know the suffering of the Han people, but thought that the Han was rich, and as long as they entered the Central Plains, they would be able to eat and drink. The Xianbei herdsmen did not know that the oppression of the people by the major families of the Han Dynasty was even more cruel.

Xiang Ao is a person who is good at thinking, and he is not very old, and he is constantly observing and identifying the right and wrong of many phenomena in the world today. Different from the mentality of the children of the family who take for granted the phenomena of today's world, Xiang Ao pays more attention to the poor people in the world, and even the poor people who are forced to fall into the grass. Perhaps influenced by the Taoist concept of equality between heaven and earth and all people since childhood, Xiang Ao wanted to see the prosperous Kangping era that he imagined in his heart.

Looking around at the endless grassland under the night, looking up at the stars in the sky, Xiang Ao sighed in his heart: Xing, the people are bitter; Death, and the people suffer. Xiang Ao didn't know what he needed to help His Majesty create that peaceful and prosperous world, and he was at a loss in his heart.

The next day, Xiang Ao ordered everyone to pack up and prepare to return to Shuofang.

"Don't let Xiang Ao go, sons, kill!"

As soon as Xiang Ao urged more than 1,000 people to finish packing up, and before he could give the order to leave, he heard a loud roar from the east, followed by the deafening sound of countless horses' hooves. Xiang Ao's face changed suddenly, and he didn't have time to say more, so he had to urgently order the flag soldiers to wave the order flag and shout: "Evacuate quickly, follow my flag!" ”

And at this time, it was no one else who was chasing him, it was the king of the millennium of Xianbei, Tanshi Huai is also. At this time, Tanshi Huai led tens of thousands of elite cavalry and roared. Seeing that Xiang Ao's army had retreated westward without fighting, he shouted loudly: "Hahaha... I never thought that the Han army was a coward, sons, kill him with the king! ”

The Xianbei cavalry was also full of excitement and ferocity, and their screams echoed the sandalwood locust. Xiang Ao didn't say much when he heard this, the battlefield was already deceitful, and he knew that he would not retreat if he was defeated. However, Tanshihuai roared even more excitedly: "Xiang Da Taishou, my Tanshihuai is also, today I will destroy all of you, and it is in vain to escape, hahaha... Boys, pursue at full speed. ”

"It is impossible alone, I Xianbei is in a hurry to pursue, and the cavalry is uneven, if you pursue at full speed, it will definitely disrupt the cavalry formation." Murong Bo, who didn't know why Tanshi Huai was so excited, anxiously persuaded: "If the formation is chaotic, it won't be good if Xiang Ao takes the opportunity to counterattack. Just send thousands of miles of scouts to the front of the Han army to notify other tribes to intercept them. ”

"Murong Shan Yu thinks too highly of Han Junye!" Tanshi Huai's face was full of confidence: "My Xianbei cavalry is the wolf of the grassland, not to mention that this is only in person." If Murong Shan Yu is still worried, he can send a scout to the front to inform. It's just that after I kill Xiang Ao, Murong Shan Yu should not be afraid of robbing you of the credit. After Tan Shihuai finished speaking, he laughed, did not pay attention to Murong Bo, and accelerated his horse to chase in the direction of Xiang Ao, and the cavalry behind him also followed. Only Murong Bo was left with a worried look on his face, and An Bei hurriedly acted.

"Fujun, we only have more than a thousand cavalry, if we are caught up and surrounded by the Xianbei cavalry, our army is in danger." Wang Wuze, who was with the army, followed Xiang Ao and said worriedly. However, Xiang Ao looked fearless.

"Thou shalt not be worried. If he pursues the whole army of Tanshi Huai, I am still a little afraid of it. Now Tanshi Huai ordered the whole army to raid, and in less than half a day, there must be many soldiers left behind. Tanshi Huai is not a mediocre person, and he did not dare to continue the pursuit after the soldiers fell behind, and it was no big problem for our army to escape from Xianbei. ”

"The prince of the house is anxious, but Wang Wu is worried." Wang Wu was relieved when he heard this, so he concentrated on supervising the plastic surgery of the army, trying not to leave the rescued Han people behind.

As Xiang Ao guessed, after discovering that many soldiers had fallen behind, Tanshihuai did not dare to go too deep, so that Tanshihuai occasionally stopped the pursuit and waited for the cavalry that had fallen behind. As soon as the sandalwood acacia stopped, Xiang Ao ordered everyone to repair it on the spot. Thanks to Xiang Ao's leadership before he came here, he was all elite, and he was able to get rid of most of the Xianbei cavalry, otherwise Xiang Ao's army would have been bitten by Tanshi Huai.

A day later, what Xiang Ao feared happened. Tan Shi Huai pursued Xiang Ao and was not afraid, the most worried thing was that Tan Shi Huai would send scouts to inform Xiang Ao of the Xianbei tribe in front of him to intercept him. At this time, he had dodged two groups and killed a wave of Xianbei cavalry. There are not many cavalry to intercept Xiang Ao, and the armor is even rudimentary, Xiang Ao Xiang Ao is easy to kill, but what Xiang Ao needs most to evacuate to the west at this time is time. Although such an interception could not cause too many casualties, it greatly reduced the speed of Xiang Ao's march. In this way, Xiang Ao had to reduce the number of repairs, in order to widen the distance between him and the Tanshi Huai cavalry as soon as possible.

After chasing and escaping like this for about a few days, Xiang Ao's team was already sleepy. If it weren't for Xiang Ao's seemingly calm command all the way, many soldiers in the army would have collapsed long ago. Xiang Ao, who was extremely difficult, and a group of soldiers finally retreated to the Yinshan realm, and Xiang Ao was also relieved. Arriving at Yinshan, it is not far from Wuyuan, and you can escape from Xianbei's pursuit after two days of hard work.

"Xiang Da Taishou, I want to see how you escaped from Ben Danyu's pursuit." Just when Xiang Ao was relieved, there was no shouting behind him. Xiang Ao's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and he begged: Or was he caught up? Why is there no scout return. But before Xiang Ao could react, a large number of horses' hooves came from the west of Xiang Ao's army array, Xiang Ao judged that it was about 500, and then the sound of horses' hooves from the south was about 500, which made Xiang Ao even more worried.

After a moment, Tan Shihuai led hundreds of elite cavalry to appear in front of Xiang Ao's eyes, and the cavalry from the west and south also appeared.

"It's worthy of being humble and single, so enduring!" Xiang Ao looked at Tanshi Huai with an extremely ugly face, and said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, although Xiang Da Taishou is not very old, he is really a hero, he doesn't dare to despise this Dan Yu, if he doesn't feign a pursuit all the way, forcing Xiang Taishou's soldiers and horses to be poor, this single Yu doesn't dare to face Xiang Taishou."

"In this way, this official has a lot to thank Shan Yu!"

Xiang Ao was also restless at this time, although the total number of Xianbei cavalry was more than 1,500 cavalry, but Xiang Ao had just finished a thousand-mile attack at this time, and he had a little rest at the border of Yinshan, so it was extremely difficult to raise his strength and rush into battle at this time. It seems that he has to fight to the death today, Xiang Ao secretly begged in his heart.

"Don't the Ruhan people have the art of war: one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion? Hehe, I don't know what Xiang Taishou said about this single use of troops this time? ”

Looking at the slightly interested Tanshi Huai, Xiang Ao also hated and admired it in his heart, and never thought that Xianbei could actually use the art of war that the Han was proud of in the way of cavalry. However, Xiang Ao is an army general, so he should not appear to be compromised or weak.

"Heh, this official really admires Shan Yu's ability." Xiang Ao stood on horseback, his face full of indescribable calmness and pride: "But... Sandalwood. Stone. Locust tree. Single. So, how is the art of war so simple? ”

After Xiang Ao finished speaking, without waiting for Tan Shihuai's reaction, he shouted: "The big man is majestic, kill !! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" Behind Xiang Ao, all the soldiers followed, and without any doubt, they followed closely behind Xiang Ao, and raided towards the west where the elite of Tanshi Huai was located.

This person is really a hero, and it is not in vain for me to die under such a heroic gun today, hahaha. Tan Shihuai laughed secretly in his heart. Immediately did not push back, and also shouted: "Kill!" The Xianbei cavalry of the three parties followed Tan Shihuai's order and surrounded Xiang Ao. The distance of 100 zhang was fleeting, and before the cavalry on the southwest side had time to surround Xiang Ao, Xiang Ao had already led the cavalry to rush into the Tanshihuai army array. Xiang Ao's idea is also simple, in such a situation, he will fight head-on and kill the murderer, but if he relies on his own bravery to cut down the sandalwood acacia in the thousands of troops, there is still a glimmer of life.

"Tanshi Huai, take your life!" Xiang Ao rushed into the enemy formation, swung his spear left and right, and quickly cut off several Xianbei warriors who stood in front of him. Among the hundreds of cavalry formations, Xiang Ao easily found the figure of Tanshi Huai.

At this time, Tanshi Huai also looked at Xiang Ao who was rushing into battle, and there was no anxiety and fear in his eyes as Xiang Ao expected. even looked at Xiang Ao and slightly curled the corners of his mouth. Xiang Ao was shocked, could it be that there was an ambush? However, such a short opportunity to behead the enemy, Xiang Ao didn't want to give up, and with a mention of anger in his heart, he rushed towards the place where the sandalwood locust was in the army.

"Han dog looks at the knife!" With a clanging sound, Xiang Ao was forced back by several people in total. When approaching Tanshi Huai, its guards were indeed brave, and the escort team of about twenty people cooperated seamlessly to block Xiang Ao's surprise attack. Seeing that Xiang Ao couldn't help more than 20 people in a short time, Xiang Ao's dozens of personal guards also caught up and intercepted the guards for Xiang Ao.

Xiang Ao saw the opportunity, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he jumped up from the horseback with a fierce face, and his waist was forced in mid-air, and the meteorite iron spear rushed down, shouting: "Tanshi Huai, die!" ”

Tanshi Huai was originally in a defensive posture, but when the tip of Xiang Ao's gun was about to reach Tan Shi Huai's body, he actually stepped forward. The meteoric iron spear was unstoppable, and with a pop, it plunged into the chest of the sandalwood locust.

The Xianbei generation of heroes died.
