Chapter 35: The Danger of Horse City

"Brother, why did you stop me just now? Now in the entire grassland, how many tribes are secretly accumulating strength and want to get out of the control of the royal court, at this time, fighting with the Han people, wouldn't it be a chance for those people to take advantage of it, and Na Ke can do it, he will let go of this opportunity? Leaving the king's tent, Budugen looked at his brother dissatisfied.

"This is Kebineng's chance, why not you and me?" The head glanced back in the direction of the king's tent, and a grim smile appeared on his face.

Budugen was stunned and looked at the head suspiciously.

"You don't want to be called like a dog by Na and Lian for the rest of your life, do you?" The head sneered: "In terms of ability and prestige, my father is the strongest, if it weren't for my father's early death, how could this single position let him sit?" Now that he is a single Yu, he is targeting you and me everywhere, and I have had enough of these days. ”

"Brother, are you going to ......" Bu Dugen was taken aback and looked at the head in surprise.

"I don't want anything, do my own thing with peace of mind, since he wants to open the Nama City level, we will help him open it, and when the time comes, his back road will be controlled by us." The head said coldly.

"But ......" Budugen was a little uneasy.

"No, but, whether you and I can get out of Helian's control is at this time." Kuitou sneered: "In the future, this single Yu Wang Court will be you and me!" Now, let's go with me and take down a level in Horse City. ”

……

Three days later, Macheng was in the water, Ye Zhao was here with a weak force to defeat Aguli, a battle and fame, later, Ye Zhao sat firmly in Macheng, began to carry out large-scale construction, the terrain here is relatively open, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is to set up a city here, to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, but also a main road for trade between Hu and Han.

The head of the head dressed as a Hu merchant traveler, with more than a hundred people driving a dozen war horses and a large herd of cattle and sheep along the official road of the water towards the direction of Macheng, you can see the three-zhang high Guancheng from a distance.

Although the city is not big, but limited by the region, if it is a strong attack, even if there are ten times and a hundred times the strength of the army is difficult to deploy here, only a hundred people, can hold this city, not to mention the grassland people, are good at horse warfare, siege is not the director, when he saw this city, the head couldn't help but exclaim: "If Macheng also has such a high wall, even if we take this pass, it may not be easy for the army to enter Macheng." ”

"Why should the leader raise the morale of others? Give me three hundred, and I will destroy this city." One warrior was unconvinced.

"Don't be impulsive, we're here this time to explore the way." The head shook his head and followed the traveling merchants into the city.

It's just to his surprise that the inspection in the city is very lax, and even as long as they give money, no one pays attention to the weapons they carry.

"These people, why are they so slack?" Glancing at the lazy defenders of the city, the leader was puzzled.

It is said that this Macheng Ye Zhao is very powerful, and the soldiers under his command are extremely elite, and he has defeated the tribes of Xianbei and Wuhuan several times, and even fought a battle with Kebineng, who is also a famous warrior on the grassland, but he failed to bargain here.

A Wuhuan man passing by couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "This brother doesn't know, now this Macheng has changed its owner, the current lord of Macheng doesn't care about the military at all, and the army around Macheng is in charge of a Han general who is proud of Sun De, since he took office, this road is not easy to walk." ”

"How?" The head asked with a smile.

"Hey, although Ye Zhao was hateful in the past, the rules were extremely strict, and his soldiers were absolutely forbidden to collect taxes on past business travelers, as long as they followed his rules, everyone could have their own trade here, and the tax night was only delivered once in Macheng, but since the new county commander took office, it is not as tough on us as in the past, but the taxes deducted along the way are more than double that of previous years, and now, I don't know how many people miss that Ye Zhao." Wuhuan sighed.

"This brother is right." The leader nodded thoughtfully, walked with this person, and asked casually.

"If you want to make a living in this horse city, how can you do it if you don't know Chinese? In the area of Danhan Mountain, whether it is Wuhuan or Xianbei, there are not many people who can't speak Chinese. ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and it may not seem like much to ordinary people, but in the eyes of the leader, it is a dangerous signal.

Since Tanshihuai unified the grassland, began to promote the Xianbei language, ready to emulate a great emperor of the Han people, the language of the Xianbei people to promote out, now in this vast grassland, no matter where they go, they are used to communicate in Xianbei language, and even the Han people enter the grassland, they have to use Xianbei language to communicate, which is conducive to the spread of the Xianbei people.

But now, the grassland Erlang has to communicate in Chinese, and the leader can't help but start to rejoice that Ye Zhao has been transferred, otherwise as long as this person has been operating here for ten years, I am afraid that the area around Danhan Mountain and even the wider territory will become the grassland of the Han people.

Not long after the group walked, the leader was stunned to find that a gate appeared in front of him again, which was the same as the previous two.

"This ......" the head pointed to Guan Cheng in astonishment, "This should not be Ma Cheng." ”

"There are 18 checkpoints in Yunqiushui, and there are two of them as the main road, and those Han people are really stupid." Wuhuan shook his head and sighed.

Is it stupid?

Anyway, the leader only has a sense of happiness in his heart now, and he is glad that he didn't act rashly before, otherwise, even if he easily captures the previous level, the Xianbei army will be stopped here, and these two levels will be at both ends of the area where Ye Zhao ambushed Aguli at the beginning, once the first level is attacked, the second level still has enough time to respond.

It seems that the royal court still has too little information collection on the side of Macheng.

Just in case, the head turned his head to look at Wuhuan Daodao: "After this, it's Ma Cheng, is there no other level?" ”

"No, I heard that Ye Zhao had the intention to build another acropolis outside Macheng, but before it was established, he was transferred away, hey, Ye Zhao didn't know what he thought." Wuhuan man sneered.

The leader didn't speak, he glanced at a few people around him, and a few people understood, in the horse team, a warrior quietly retreated, and the leader continued to move forward with the horse team, and soon came to the bottom of the city.

Although there are soldiers who are checked, these soldiers are obviously similar to the previous ones, and they are even more lazy, as long as they pay the money, they don't even bother to check, which makes the head secretly happy in his heart.

"Boom~"

The axle of a carriage pulling goods suddenly broke, and the entire vehicle fell down and blocked the city gate, and more than a dozen war horses and dozens of cattle and sheep were blocked at the city gate.

"What are you doing?" The team in charge of defending the city stepped forward impatiently, looked down at the leather all over the ground, and easily put a wolf skin into his arms, while scolding impatiently.

"Our car broke down." The leader hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Hurry up and drag it away, don't get in the way of others!" The team leader said impatiently.

"Huh~"

Above the Guancheng in the distance, a loud arrow rose into the sky, at the same time, there was a thick wolf smoke above the Guancheng, the team leader saw this, his complexion changed, and there was an emergency military situation at the checkpoint in front of him, so he would release the wolf smoke, the wolf smoke would be released, no matter what the situation was, the city gate here must be closed, and he turned his head and pulled out his waist knife, and said sharply: "Quickly tow your car away!" ”

"Okay, I'll drag it!" A hideous smile spread across the head's face.

"Poof~" A blade protruded from the leader's chest, and blood continued to drip down the blade.

A flash of consternation flashed in the team's eyes, and in his sight, his soldiers were cut down in a pool of blood one by one by the Hu people who suddenly broke out.

"Roar~"

Farther away, a group of Hu soldiers galloped wildly on horseback, rushing towards this side.

Finished!

The last thought flashed through the team's heart, and the blade that stabbed into his chest from behind stirred violently, and after a few convulsions of his body, he was silent.

"Kill!" The head of the sword killed a Han soldier, and led people to take the lead in killing Guancheng.

When Bu Dugen led a large army into Guancheng, the battle here has been resolved, the Han soldiers defending the city have been frightened when they saw the enemy's large army killing, these Yulin Army, known as the elite of Luoyang, have not encountered a decent war for many years, at this moment the team was killed, they were already flustered, and then look at the opponent's brigade attacking, how can they still be in the mood to defend the Guancheng, one by one fled in embarrassment, less than the time of tea, the living Han soldiers have run away, Let the leader easily occupy this level that cost Ye Zhao a lot of effort.

I'm afraid that even Ye Zhao couldn't have imagined that the two checkpoints he had painstakingly laid would change hands so easily, once these two checkpoints were broken, there would be no danger to defend outside Macheng, and the entire Macheng would be exposed to the iron hooves of the Xianbei people.
