Chapter 32: Set fire to the mountain

"I see." Liu Fan nodded.

This is the nature of the heart, whether it is Han or foreign, it is unavoidable. When the power in the hand can't cover the ambition in the heart, it will choose to peep, the good heart will look outside, the bad heart will covet the inside, the power will blind people, and the six relatives will not recognize it.

"Please go back to the tribe with Engong, let me do my best to be hosted, and talk about saving my life." Seventeen pounds pleaded.

"The chief's kindness is in his heart, but he is in a hurry to go to Wuwei, and he can't delay the trip." Liu Fan declined.

Seventeen catty's eyes flashed, then he glanced at Liu Fan's horse, gritted his teeth and said: "Engong is extremely brave, like a god descending from heaven, but the mount is so ordinary, it's really a pity and pain!" There is a god horse in my tribe, which is a direct descendant of the king of wild horses in Jishi Mountain, and was designed and captured by my tribe warriors less than a year after being born. I want to give it to Engong, but I wonder if Engong can go back to the tribe with me to get it. ”

Horses are not superior, and bloodlines are important. Why the Central Plains horses, even the state horses, and Youzhou horses are not as good as the Xiongnu horses and Xianbei horses, it is a matter of blood, the war horses of the Han Dynasty will generally mate with the captured or foreign horses, and the reproduction from generation to generation, the kind of fine bloodline is getting less and less, so one generation is not as good as the next.

At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the envoy to go to Dawan in the Western Regions to exchange the golden horse for the sweat and blood horse, but the king of Dawan did not change, and killed the envoy and robbed the golden horse. Emperor Wu was furious, and ordered Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, to go to Dawan, after Li Guangli defeated Dawan, he obtained not only dozens of sweat and blood horses, but also three thousand high-quality horses, which raised the bloodline of the Central Plains horse a lot, but after hundreds of years, these bloodlines have been almost gone.

The reason why nomads have always had good horses is that their horses are trained from wild horses in the steppe, and these trained horses are only selected as war horses of the highest quality.

Dawan's sweat and blood BMW bloodline is pure, never crossbred, although the number is scarce, it has been passed on.

Shenma, after the king of horses, Liu Fan is really moved, the general's favorite is the BMW Divine Soldier, at most the armor is counted. Fighting on the battlefield, fighting with life, fast horses, soldiers, and armor, more of the same, more than three points of security.

"BMW is an opportunity for me, but I don't know if this opportunity is accompanied by danger? I am a stranger, so don't deceive me, Chief. Liu Fan had something to say.

Liu Fan is not something that anyone can deceive, he also saw the flashing eyes of Seventeen Jin just now, I am afraid that Seventeen Jin wants to protect him and go back.

"Haha, Engong is really wise! To tell you the truth, my rebel son knows that I am not dead, and will ambush me on the way back, as long as Engong sends me back to the tribe, I will give the tribe's god horse to Engong, and I Huangshuiqiang owes Engong a favor. "I have to say that Seventeen Jin not only speaks Chinese well, but also has a deep understanding of the elite of the Han language, and it seems that he has worked hard in this regard.

Liu Fan frowned deeply, do you want to go? If you go, if you are ambushed by thousands of people, your life will be in danger.

"There are only about 200 of my rebel henchmen, and there have been a lot of casualties just now, although there are many tribal warriors, but I have been a chief for twenty years, and my prestige is deep, and they all obey my orders." Seventeen catties of old treachery and cunning, as if he saw what Liu Fan thought, gave him a shot of strengthening, indeed, if his rebel son had a large number of men, he would not dare to take Liu Fan even if he believed in Liu Fan again.

"This kind of rebellious person, I hate it the most in my life, and I will help the chief get rid of it today." Liu Fan said righteously. If you can get a BMW Divine Horse, the time for you to travel to and from Hedong Wuwei can be greatly reduced, even if you waste a day? What's more, getting a BMW will play a pivotal role on the battlefield in the future.

In particular, making Huang Shuiqiang owe himself a favor, this reward is more attractive, and it will play an important role in his future strategy.

"Eun Gong is really heroic!" Seventeen catties bowed to Liu Fan, but he was slandering in his heart, if I didn't promise to give you a BMW, you would definitely not agree to help me eradicate that rebel.

Liu Fan, Qijin and others rode south together, and after more than two hours, they left the border of the Han Dynasty, at this time the sun had set, and the sky was slightly dark.

Another hour later, when it was dark, Seventeen Jin ordered his guards to light torches, and said to Liu Fan: "Please be careful, you will be able to reach my tribe's residence in more than an hour, and the ambush will definitely be on this road."

"Hmm." Liu Fan nodded and looked around.

In the middle of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the full moon was as clear as frost and snow, sprinkling the silent wilderness with silver and white, and Liu Fan could see the surroundings clearly without lighting it with torches.

After a cup of tea, a canyon nearly 100 meters high appeared in front of Liu Fan and the others. Liu Fan stopped his horse, and Seventeen Jin and others also stopped.

"Eun Gong, what did you find?" Seventeen Jin looked at the canyon and said to Liu Fan.

"In wartime, there is no way to enter the valley. If someone hides a hundred strong bows on the canyon, we will surely die if we rush in! Liu Fan said solemnly. In the dark night, the most feared thing is the bow and arrow, not to mention anything else, let's just say that in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, how many generals died under the cold arrow?

The general is not afraid of thousands of troops, but only an inch! An inch of iron is an arrow.

"What should I do?" Seventeen Jin said, now Liu Fan is completely his lifesaver.

"Is there a way around here?" Liu Fan asked Seventeen Jin.

"This is the only good road from Jincheng to my tribe, and there is also a mountain road that cannot be walked at night." Seventeen Jin shook his head and said.

"You wait here first, and I'll explore the way." Liu Fan said to Seventeen Jin, he felt that there was at least a fifty percent chance that the enemy would ambush here, and he would go to the tribe of Huangshuiqiang in depth, and the son of Seventeen Jin would definitely not ambush his father near the tribe.

Liu Fan rode a horse to grasp the distance and looked up the mountain, he wanted to see if there was a road leading to the top of the canyon.

As Liu Fan expected, at this time, there were dense figures crawling at both ends of the canyon, not to mention more than a hundred people, at least half of them were holding bows and arrows. The canyon is only 100 meters high, shooting from high to low, relying on the force of the fall, it can easily kill people.

"Why can't this old thing pass away, it's usually quite confused, why is it so shrewd today. These people are the team of old things after all, don't make a mistake, we will provoke a big enemy. On the canyon, a young man said to his subordinates.

"You can't be wrong, there were only a dozen people left in the chief at that time, and there were just a dozen of them in this group. It may be that the chief's suspicion has become heavier, and I will not move around, for he will pass through here after he has tried it. The subordinate said with certainty.

"Lishi is really a waste, it's okay to find something for me, otherwise how can there be such trouble, you deserve to be stabbed to death." The young man scolded.

Here, Liu Fan saw that the mountains on both sides were full of shrubs and weeds, Liu Fan knew it in his heart, and rode back.

"It's a matter of life, and it's better to believe in what you have than what you don't have. Chief, order your men to hurry over and throw torches over the hills on either side. Liu Fan's eyes narrowed, and he said to Seventeen Jin.

"It's still Eun Gong's thoughtfulness!" Seventeen Jin exclaimed, and then muttered to the guard behind him.

The seventeen-pound guards divided into two teams, and the horses ran to both sides of the valley, and after throwing the torches on the grass and trees, they hurried back.

In winter, the vegetation is dry and extremely flammable, and a dozen torches cause two large flames in a few breaths. In a moment, the fire turned into a sea of fire, and little by little it climbed to the top of the canyon.
