0035: First battle with the Hu people
Yan Lei went back, but he left Yan Liang in Jiuyuan. His idea is also very simple, here, with Tong Yuan, a master-level figure, to help guide, and Lu Bu and other friends to practice martial arts together, no matter what you think, it seems that Yan Liang's growth is better than returning to Handan to practice alone.
Moreover, Yan Lei also hopes that by Li Yi's side, Yan Liang can learn some knowledge more or less, he knows very well how rich Li Yi's books are, although they are not as good as those big families, but compared to the Yan family, it is much more. In addition, Li Yihui will teach many children knowledge, how can this not reassure Yan Lei?
The only thing that made him more helpless was that Yan Liang didn't seem to have much resistance to throwing him in Jiuyuan, or rather, he was very happy. This made Yan Lei feel inexplicably sad, especially when he saw that Yan Liang always used a very humble attitude to please Xiaobai.
By the way, although as Xiaobai's size gets bigger and bigger, many children or civilians in Jiuyuan County are full of awe of him, but Lu Bu and others may be bold artists? Or maybe it's other reasons, but it's more intimate to Xiaobai. It's a pity that for these people, Xiaobai is ignorant most of the time, not to mention all kinds of coquettish behaviors that only Li Yi can have. But even so, these people are still happy to do it, and even Lu Bu and the others plan to get a tiger to raise.
In June, Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan respectively sent people to pay tribute to Li Yan, and at the same time came to see Li Yi. Li Yi was naturally very grateful for this, and wrote two letters for the two envoys to bring back.
In September, it is the autumn harvest season again, but for the people of Bingzhou, although they are also in happiness at this time, they are more vigilant. Because at this time, the Hu people in the north will also appear in many border towns in the north in small teams to loot.
As mentioned before, the Hu people's southward movement actually happens every year, because they also have to spend the winter. But because the nomads did not know how to farm, if they did not want to rely only on the leftover forage and meat for the winter, they had to rob the Han Chinese.
Of course, in many cases, this situation is not led by Xianbei or other Hu people, but more by the spontaneous behavior of small tribes who lack food to survive the winter. It's just that although their troops are very small because of this, it is precisely because of this that their actions have become more secretive, and the Great Wall has lost its due effectiveness. After all, no matter how awesome the Great Wall is, how can it stop dozens or hundreds of people from smuggling?
"Zikang, this is the first time you have commanded and defended the Hu people, will you be very nervous?" Guo Hong looked at Li Yi, who was sitting opposite, and asked with a chuckle.
"Wen Xiugong, please rest assured, Yi has already made preparations." Li Yigong replied.
"Haha, sure enough, Zikang, you never have to worry about others for you, I really hope that my nephew can be as calm as Zikang." Guo Hong smiled and smiled, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh.
Li Yi did not respond to Guo Hong's words, because this was Guo Hong's family affair after all. It is strange to say that Guo Hong is obviously a child of the famous Yang Zhai Guo family, but he has never felt the arrogance of the children of the family from him. "Or are the children of the family actually very good at being good at being people?" Li Yi thought strangely in his heart.
Just like when Li Yan was alive before, Li Yi only needs to be responsible for patrolling around Jiuyuan as an inspection team. After all, he was just a landlord, and even if Li Yi was willing, Guo Hong would not be able to let him replace the duties of the army.
Nanyuan Village, a small village in the south of Jiuyuan County, is here where dozens of Hu people are looting unscrupulously. In the face of this group of ordinary people, this group of Hu people showed no mercy, and anyone who stopped them from looting would be quickly killed.
"Father! Mother! A miserable cry rang out in the village, but it was a young girl, who was held by a Hu man on her shoulder, looking at the corpses of her parents not far away, and wailing. And the Hu man who was carrying her was laughing, and it could be seen that he was in a very good mood.
Just then, a sharp arrow pierced his head. "Ahh With a thud, the girl fell heavily to the ground, but she didn't seem to notice anything, just desperately crawled towards the corpses of her parents.
At the same time, the Hu cavalry, who were still plundering in the village, shouted loudly and quickly assembled.
"Tsk, is the quality of the Hu cavalry so high?" Li Yi looked at the Hu cavalry that had been assembled almost instantly, and asked with some envy and jealousy. Just now, he could see clearly that when his cavalry team appeared, all the Hu cavalry would quickly drop what they were doing and rush to assemble. This kind of action is simply the elite in Li Yi's memory, and there is no difference.
"It's not so much about quality, it's about getting used to ......," Tong Yuan on the side looked at this group of Hu cavalry and explained coldly, "If you loot villages for a few years, you will also learn what to do when and when." His face was very bad, although he hadn't seen these things, but some things didn't become numb after experiencing them.
"I see, it's easier for me to accept." Hearing this, Li Yi said in a deep voice, "Then, everyone, let's start hunting!" Li Yi's faint tone was full of murderous aura, although he only swept it outside the village, but what he saw in this sweep was enough to make Li Yi's heart full of tyranny.
Seeing is believing, hearing is false, and nothing can compare to what you see with your own eyes. In the past, Li Yi's reaction to the southward movement of the Hu people was not too strong, although he knew that every time the Hu people went south, it would bring huge losses to the Han people, but Li Yi had no way of knowing how big this loss was and what kind of loss it was.
And now, he still doesn't know how big the loss is, but he does know what kind of loss it is. The corpse lying in a pool of blood, the house in flames, Li Yi had never seen hell, but in his opinion, there was no difference between this place and hell.
With Li Yi's order, more than 20 horsemen instantly bent their bows and arrows, and under the surprised gaze of the Hu people, a round of arrow rain flew towards them in an instant.
"It's the elite rider of the Han people! Evacuate! The leader of the Hu people shouted quickly. As Tong Yuan said, they are not very high in military literacy, but they are used to it, so they naturally know what to do when and when they should do it. At the same time, they also deeply understand what kind of enemy they are not able to contend with.
"Kill! Don't live! Li Yi ordered coldly.
