Volume 4 The Eighteenth Chapter of the Emperor's Prosperity Bad Premonition

When it came to Mai Tiecane's inquiry, the caravan's guards looked at Mai Tiecane like an incredible dirt bun on their faces. It seems that it is a shame not to hear of a red wolf riding.

Sun Zixin was far more steady than those guards, and hurriedly explained to Mai Tiecane: "Lord Hui, the Red Wolf Cavalry is the most elite cavalry under the King of Hejian, since its formation, it has been invincible and invincible, whether it is the Tuyuhun people in the west or the horse thieves wandering on the grassland, they have suffered great losses under this cavalry, and they are the protectors of our caravan." ”

"Caravan Patron Protector?" Yang Shi chewed on this sentence, and suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder the guards of the caravan had such expressions.

Mai Tiezhu snorted in his nose, and was very dissatisfied with Sun Zixin's answer, and as he spoke, the cavalry got closer and closer to the caravan, and when the two sides were dozens of meters apart, the cavalry turned to the right, swept past the flank of the caravan, and the horse's hooves flew over, slowly moving away, and became a red cloud again in the eyes of everyone.

"Why, don't they check it?" Yang Shi originally thought that there was a chance to contact this cavalry, but he didn't expect this cavalry to ignore the caravan, so he left on his own.

"My lord doesn't know, the Red Wolf Rider is only responsible for fighting horse thieves and maintaining trade routes, and the Red Wolf Rider doesn't care about anything else." Sun Zixin patiently explained.

"I see." Looking at the red wolf riders in the distance, Yang Shi thought thoughtfully, this team is about a building of people and horses, it can be seen that these cavalry did not use too much speed, but the action of hundreds of horses in one, but it gave people the feeling of thousands of troops and horses, which was very similar to the Xuanlong army led by the prince for the first time.

"How. How many horse thieves are here, why haven't you seen any of them? Mai Tiezhu asked suspiciously, he was born as a robber, and later became the umbrella of Emperor Chen Xuan, he still did not change his true character as a robber, and walked hundreds of miles at night to steal property, and he had long wanted to see the difference between the horse thieves on the grassland and the robbers in the south, but unfortunately after leaving Xiao Pass, he did not even encounter a team of horse thieves. This was certainly a good thing for the caravan, but it was very depressing for the wheat iron staff.

There are not many horse thieves, just look at the guards of the caravan, judging by the guards of this caravan. At least the chance of encountering horse thieves is quite large, this time it was so safe, Sun couldn't help but say happily: "My lord, there were originally many horse thieves on the grassland. However, over the years, the strength of my Great Sui has become stronger and stronger, plus the king of Han. The king of Hejian joined forces to encircle and suppress, and now even the Tuyuhun people dare not invade again, and this caravan has become much safer. ”

Wait for the red wolf to ride away. Almost nowhere to be seen. The caravan began to depart again. The jingling bell rang again in the grassland, and Yang Shi was very interested in this red wolf ride. Riding a horse and approaching Sun Tuotou, he asked Sun Tuotou about the deeds of the red wolf riding.

In order to understand the people's situation in various places and the achievements of officials, the emperor often sent envoys to patrol the province, Sun Jiangtou saw that Yang Shi and others seemed to be officials and non-officials, and liked to ask questions about the east and west, guessing that Yang Shi was likely to be the patrol sent by the emperor, and he intended to make a name for the red wolf ride, so he naturally knew everything.

This red wolf cavalry was formed after nine years of the emperor, before the formation of the red wolf cavalry, after crossing the Yellow River, from Jincheng County to Wuwei County on this road of hundreds of miles, there are many horse thieves, almost no caravan will not encounter horse thieves, fortunately, most of the horse thieves are for money, and they will not be killed, often the caravan has to lose at least one-third of its property to pass.

There are many caravans because they do not want to lose and horse thieves desperately, all of them hit the head and break the blood, some caravans even not only all the goods were looted, but also all the people were killed, during that time, the caravan out of the jam was almost equivalent to tying their heads to the waist of their pants to ask for money, and some horse thieves were even more daring, and even the army's military quartermasters dared to rob.

After the establishment of the Red Wolf Cavalry, the first battle was to take the largest horse thief grass flying knife in the grassland at that time, when there were more than 2,000 people flying on the grass, everyone was proficient in riding and shooting, and the red wolf rode no more than 400 people, but the Red Wolf Cavalry had no scruples, and personally escorted a batch of weapons and armor staff from Xiaoguan to Wuwei County to lure the grass to fly to attack.

This batch of materials includes 2,000 pieces of armor, 1,000 long knives, and 1,000 strong bows, everyone knows that if the refined food of weapons, Turkic, Tuyuhun and other countries are too far away from the Great Sui, not to mention these horse thieves, if these materials fall into the hands of horse thieves, they can immediately form a strong army of 2,000 people, and their combat power is at least twice as strong as before.

After hearing that this batch of materials was only escorted by 400 people, the flying scout on the grass immediately moved his heart, and dispatched all the men and horses to intercept the red wolf on the way, and the two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the result of this battle was that the grass flying on the grassland for more than ten years was completely destroyed, and the red wolf rode 400 people with injuries, and only 315 people were alive in the end.

This battle made the red wolf ride famous, and the rest of the horse thieves saw the red from afar

Retreating, however, the red wolf rider refused to let go of these horse thieves, as long as there was a trace, no matter how far the pursuit was, how long it was, it was not wiped out, and the red wolf rider did not stop.

After exterminating five or six horse thieves in a row, all the horse thieves on the grassland were angry, although the red wolf rode on behalf of the court, but you can't kill them all, don't give others a way to live, not to mention that the red wolf ride is too demanding, there have been only four or five hundred people, all the horse thieves on the grassland add up to 100,000, thirty or forty thousand are also land, unless the red wolf rider has three heads and six arms, can it really be a block.

With this thought, more than a dozen horse thieves quickly combined to form an army of nearly 10,000 people, this time it was no longer the red wolf to lure the horse thieves to attack, but the horse thieves to lure the red wolf to ride in the ambush, nine thousand horse thieves surrounded only more than four hundred people of the red wolf cavalry, as a result of a hard battle, the red wolf cavalry not only broke through the horse thieves encirclement, but killed the horse thieves into an army, enough four thousand horse thieves died under the knife of the red wolf rider, almost dyed the entire grassland red, this time, the red wolf rode but paid the price of dozens of people.

After these two battles, the red wolf rode on the grassland to determine their invincible prestige, all the horse thieves in the face of the red wolf riding can only flee for their lives, and the caravan is getting safer and safer, but the number of four hundred red wolf riders is a little less, if there are four thousand, all the horse thieves on the grassland will probably be wiped out.

"Do you know who the leader of the Red Wolf Rider is?" Hearing so many deeds of the red wolf riding, Yang Shi couldn't help but ask.

"My lord, you also saw it just now, the red wolf rider is covered in armor, and even his face is also wearing a mask, except for the king of the river, who can know who the leader of the red wolf rider is?" Sun Tzu replied.

"Could it be that these people wear face masks in the summer?" Yang Shi asked without giving up.

"This ...... I don't know, I probably wear it, I heard that the military camp of the red wolf rider is set up separately, and ordinary people can't even see the barracks, not to mention that unless it is attacked by horse thieves, the red wolf rider doesn't deal with the caravan at all, and it is really not old and rotten to know. ”

Seeing that Sun Zixin couldn't answer, Yang Shi had no choice but to give up, but after listening to the deeds of the red wolf ride, Yang Shi felt more and more that something was wrong, and his heart seemed to be pressed against a big stone, and he always felt that this red wolf ride was related to Yang Xuangan.

In the ninth year of the emperor's reign, it was the time when Yang Xuangan's family was assigned to Wuwei County, and the number of red wolf riders has always been only four or five hundred horses, and the Yang family and family generals who were assigned over had more than 1,000 people.

If this is the case, the twenty of them want to kill the Yang brothers, I am afraid it is a fantasy, and they can only rely on the power of the king of the river, but now the red wolf riding is equivalent to the right-hand man of the king of the river, is the king of the river willing to cut off his wings, even if the king of the river is willing, according to what Sun said, without the red wolf riding, wouldn't it be to let the horse thieves on the grassland run rampant again, for a while, Yang Shi fell into contemplation.

The closer to Wuwei County, the more pedestrians on the road, most of them are caravans traveling from south to north, and everyone can also see the fertile fields opened up in some places, and now there are farmers in the fields to plough the fields.

"My lord, Wuwei County has arrived."

Yang Shi looked up, Wuwei County was already close at hand, the majestic city wall was across in front of everyone's eyes, and the three big characters of Wuwei County under the city gate were clearly visible.

Wuwei is taken from the meaning of martial arts and military might, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up four counties in Hexi, namely Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Wuwei is four counties, here is the key pass of the Silk Road, the caravan to the Western Regions must pass through here, during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao changed Wuwei to Liangzhou, during the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the former Liang, Houliang, South Liang, and North Liang were all built here, it is Wuwei so important, the Great Sui is not only heavily garrisoned here, but also put a prince here.

There is already a queue in front of it waiting to enter the city, it is a caravan that arrives first, this caravan is larger than the caravan of Sun Jiangtou, hundreds of carriages are lined up together, and they are being inspected one by one, all dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty has many things that are strictly forbidden to be imported into the city, and the Great Sui is no exception, every time the caravan passes here, it must be strictly inspected.

Sun Jiangtou immediately joined his convoy to the queue, while greeting the people in front of him enthusiastically, the same caravan out of the jam, although the road taken is not necessarily the same, but since it has been encountered, it is always right to be familiar with it.

Hearing the lively voice, Yang Shi woke up from his contemplation and dispelled his bad premonitions, no matter what, since he arrived in Wuwei, he always had to go to the city first.
