Comfort is synonymous with luxury in the northern part of Shenzhou, which is ruled by the Hu people.

For as long as Li Yu can remember, there have been a large number of Hu people around his family. When he was little. Although there were occasional clashes between Hu and Han, there were no large-scale engagements and vendettas.

It wasn't until Hu Huang Shihu came to power that everything changed. The Hu people revealed their cruel, greedy nature. Crazy attack on the Han Chinese. For more than ten years, countless villages and forts have been breached (don't think that the Hu people will not attack fortifications, the Hu people at that time have been in charge of Shenzhou for more than 20 years, and even a pig can learn one and a half moves). Countless Han Chinese were killed or enslaved. The dock fort of the Li Yu family, because of the relatively dangerous terrain, the clansmen, the doormen and the homeless people who took in, and the defense of the entire dock fort was strong, and survived.

However, due to the large number of people in the dock fort. A large amount of corn needs to be planted outside the dock fort. Every autumn. On the one hand, they had to be busy harvesting grain, and on the other hand, they had to prevent the invasion of the Hu people. Some of the more distant corn fields still need to select warriors to harvest in the middle of the night.

Although autumn is the harvest season, it is the most insecure season for the people in the dock fort, especially those who go out to harvest. The cunning Hu cavalry will stay in every corner, waiting for an opportunity to attack those who leave the fort. Due to the lack of cavalry in the dock fort, there was no way to fight against Hu cavalry in the field. The only thing the Dock Fort can do is to arrange a lookout guard on a high place. As soon as Hu Qi attacked, he would shout loudly. At this time, the people outside the fort will immediately throw down the labor tools in their hands and run to the dock fort. Those who run fast will naturally hide in the dock fort, while those who run slowly will become slaves of the Hu people. Throughout the autumn, the most heard voice was "Ride, run!" ”。 (Note: Most people in ancient times suffered from night blindness, and it was unrealistic to expect them to harvest food at night.) )

Not a few years old, in front of the Li family's fort, a major event happened. After a failed raid, the angry old chief Hu didn't know if his head was pumped, so he rode a horse and ran directly to the dock fort with a bow and arrow. However, Chief Hu was unlucky, and the person didn't shoot. He was shot by a young dock archer. Immediately fell off the horse. Although he was rescued by other Hu Qi behind. But it didn't take long for him to die. Chief Hu, who had personally experienced this scene, took out a dagger on the spot, cut his palm, and swore a bloody oath to slaughter the Li family.

After a failed assault, Chief Hu calmed down and retreated with the rest of his men. The people of the Li clan breathed a sigh of relief. But everyone's heart is heavy. Because they know that the two sides are really mortal enemies this time.

In the following months, Xiao Hu took advantage of the connections left by the old Hu chief to jump up and down, preparing to contact Hu Bu, who was familiar with him, to attack the Li family. Lee knew he couldn't resist. Therefore, messengers were sent to ask for help from various Han Wu forts. But it's not that easy! The strength of the Han Dock Fort near the Li family is not strong, and many of the Dock Fort is even more problematic for self-protection, how can there be extra energy to save people!

Li Yu did not come to Xixiang to ask for help this time, which is also unrealistic. Although Saigo is not far from Xintai, it is not close. For the infantry-based Saigo, once ambushed, it would be absolutely fatal (of course, this is a general situation without Liu Ye and the guards). If Saigo wants to save the Li family, it will be a hundred harms and no benefit to Saigo. Except for being able to receive Lee's ethereal gratitude, there is nothing else substantial, and the risk is too high. Unless Liu Ye's head is caught by the door, he will send troops.

Li Yu came to Xixiang this time because some time ago, the Li clan got a piece of news: Chief Xiaohu had made a huge interest and planned to invite the Awa tribe, who had a good relationship with his tribe, to come and help in the war. The Awabe are a medium-sized tribe that is entrenched in the Desert. Not only is the Avabe Tribe's strength strong, but its leader, Lord Vala, is also a well-known condor archer in Langya. Vala was very tempted by the terms offered by the little bearded chieftain. I plan to personally lead the team to help. This is also what the elders of the Li family are most worried about. The celebrity effect should never be underestimated in ancient times. This is also true for the Hu people. Vala's arrival may not only be his own tribal soldiers, but there must have been many small tribes who had heard the news and brought their own dry food. This is absolutely fatal to the Lee family. At this moment, a force called Saigo came into the sight of the Li family. (The lord of the Hu people is the chief, the meaning of the chief, and the lord of the Han people means the father.) )

The Li clan sent Li Yu to venture forward with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor. But what he saw and heard along the way made Li Yu understand that Xixiang's strength was definitely far beyond Li's imagination. Saigo even has the strength to defeat the Ava tribe. But what makes Li Yu a little puzzled is why Xixiang has such a strong strength but is not famous at all? may be because Li Yu did not read the nine-character mantra of a certain Taizu in later generations, "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king", low-key is the king.

But now Li Yu is even more uncertain about whether he can persuade Liu Ye to send troops. For lobbyists and emissaries, the more shrewd the ruler, the more he will pay to achieve a certain goal with him. What's more, what Li Yu did this time was without roots.

"Brother Yang, how far is it from the Xiangjun Mansion?" Li Yu walked on the street of Xixiang and said politely to a young man next to him who was a little hanging.

When Li Yu first arrived in Beixiang, Captain Lu left, and he was going to report to Zuo Sima. Replacing Captain Lu is Yang Bu in front of him, Yang Wushao.

Originally, Yang Wushao was going to be confined for ten days by his father. can Yang Wushao's out-of-the-box personality be unbearable! However, Yang Wushao knew his father very well, and he wisely did not refute it. Instead, after the moon feast, he went back to beg his sister and mother. Yang Wushao's mother was married after the death of Yang Yang's original wife, much younger than Yang Yang, and Yang Yang also loved her very much. Yang Wushao is Mrs. Yang's youngest son, and Mrs. Yang is also very precious. And the sister of Yang Wushao's mother, who is also very concerned about this unobtrusive brother. After the two women's intercession in turn, Manager Yang, who had a little soft ears, just needed a person who received distinguished guests, but his status could not be low, so Yang Wushao was naturally kicked over by his father.

"It's not far, it's not far away, it's still half a mile away", Yang Wushao still has a good impression of the person in front of him who saved him from the sea of suffering.

"Those hands are tied with red cloths, and the words 'chengguan' are written on the red cloth," Li Yu said with some questions.

"That's the chengguan, who specializes in managing the city," Yang Wushao said proudly.

"But why are the people so afraid, even the former city officials."

Yang Wushao was slightly embarrassed.

However, Li Yu, who was observing the words and expressions on the side, wittily skipped this question. But after a while, they began to talk and laugh again.
