"Which way are you going?"

The whole team came to an abrupt halt, and rapid panting could be heard everywhere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info I don't know if it was Lin Bin's good luck, or the Huns were too lazy to pay attention to this small group of foot soldiers, but they let them run around in the wilderness without danger, and most of the Hun rangers encountered on the way avoided without any friction. Gongsun Hong was the temporary guide of the group, but when they encountered two forks in the river, they didn't know how to choose.

"We had no choice but to go in the direction of the Loop. Both of these roads lead to Yanmen County, but one is a treacherous path, and the other needs to be walked along the Zhishui River. ”

Lin Bin's ultimate goal is Hetao, also called Heshuo grassland, which was occupied by the Huns as early as the Central Plains during the deer period, and the Qin general Meng Tian had led the army to Tuntian in the Heshuo area to resist the Xiongnu, but at the end of Qin, due to the Chu Xiang Yu storming the giant deer and forcing Xianyang, Qin II Hu Hai ordered Zhang Han, who was then replacing the convicted general (Meng Tian) to lead the border army, to lead the troops south, which was occupied by the Huns.

After Liu Bang won the world, he also led the army to conquer, but due to the lack of war horses, the Han army infantry could not fight with the Huns in the field, with heavy casualties, and the Han queen Lu Pheasant usurped power, so he was forced to retreat, so far the Huns have occupied the Hetao area for nearly 70 years, and have been using the Hetao area as a bridgehead to attack the Han State, and the grasslands in the Hetao area are also fertile and many rivers, which is very suitable for nomadic grazing.

In the late period of Lu Pheasant's usurpation, Taiwei Zhou Bo was ordered by the emperor to kill the Lu Pheasant family, after eradicating the Lu Pheasant family, Emperor Wen ascended the throne, in order to move the internal contradictions outward, Emperor Wen worshiped Zhou Bo as the right prime minister, and then ordered Zhou Bo to lead the army to the Hetao area to conquer, but this time it was still in vain, after the defeat and returned to China, Zhou Bo was also criticized, and finally was deposed from the right phase, a year later was framed for rebellion, Emperor Wen was grateful to Zhou Bo for killing the Lu Pheasant family for the establishment of meritorious service for the world surnamed Liu, and issued an edict to exonerate the crime.

For more than 60 years, the Han State twice before and after to ensure the safety of the Han Imperial Capital (Chang'an), raised troops to attack Heshuo, but all returned in vain, and the people's livelihood and economy also suffered a heavy blow, Emperor Wen endured the Huns, and sent the princess and relatives many times, the Huns were satisfied with the humility of Emperor Wen, and no longer attacked the Han State on a large scale, which led to the so-called prosperous era of Wenzhi, in fact, this is also Emperor Wen's last resort, and before Emperor Wen died, he still remembered to ask Emperor Jing to take back Heshuo.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty also intended to conquer Heshuo, but the national strength was insufficient, and the army lacked war horses, so he could not fight with the Xiongnu for a long time. Waiting for the national strength to be sufficient but there was a rebellion of the seven kings, most of the life energy was contained by the domestic rebellion, waiting for the seven kings to be executed, and needed to guard against his brother Liu Wu, the king of Liang, until the death of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, Emperor Jing has been emaciated, the day of Heshuo recovery is indefinite, some people may not believe it, but it is Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu chatting with the threat of the Xiongnu, which makes the young Emperor Wu can't wait to fight with the Xiongnu.

The so-called Wenzhi martial arts is actually talking about the two emperors of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu.

……

The reason why Gongsun Hong persuaded Lin Bin to go to Heshuo is very simple, because the Heshuo area is a complex place, where the Huns attack each other all the year round in order to compete for grazing land, and there are not only Xiongnu people grazing in Heshuo, but also many ethnic groups in the Heshuo area to survive.

Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, Xie people, Qiang people, Di people, Han people, Huns, multi-ethnic competition caused a complex situation in the Heshuo area, because the Xiongnu people are powerful, other ethnic groups have to unite to fight against the arrogant Huns, but because of the different living habits of the ethnic groups, the Xianbei people and the Xie people have become the subordinate tribes of the Huns (attendants, the status is only a little higher than the slaves), the Wuhuan people, the Qiang people, the Di people, and the Han people have become a small group with their own ghosts.

If they can't go back to the mainland, and they are afraid of Gongsun Yan's retaliation, then they can only go to Heshuo, where the situation is relatively complicated.

"You can't walk along the riverbank!" Lin Bin seemed to object without thinking, "The nomads attach importance to water sources, and the river will definitely encounter the scattered horsemen of the Huns." Let's take the trail! ”

Gongsun Hong smiled and nodded, "The road is very far, if we don't have horses, we can't cross Yanmen County and Shangjun County and reach Heshuo." ”

Lin Bin understood, and was shocked by Gongsun Hong's courage, and now that this situation is in place, Gongsun Hong still has the mind to rob the Huns and horses. He turned his head to look at the rest of the guards behind him, hesitated, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Talking to smart people is refreshing, Gongsun Hong told Lin Bin with great confidence, because now the Xiongnu tribes and kings are raising troops to attack the Han border, the internal must be empty, the Huns generally do not bring slaves to fight, only let the slaves graze in the camp, now it is the end of summer and autumn, the slaves will drive the livestock out of the water and grass to graze, there are not many Huns guarding livestock, and the Huns will not issue weapons to slaves for their own dominance. And it is precisely the supply of the Huns, that is, the supplies of cattle and sheep that the slaves are responsible for taking care of, and it is not a problem to grab horses, mainly because they are afraid that their tracks will be exposed.

"No horse is too slow to move, and it will inevitably be attacked, so it is better to rob his mother! Fight hard, grab the war horse, ride the horse to the northwest, and maybe there will be a way to live! Lin Bin stood up, clenched his fists and looked southeast, he was now getting farther and farther away from home, "I don't know what Lingzi is doing?" ”

Gongsun Hong summoned Frost, but when he heard that Lin Bin still had time to think about it, he said angrily: "Hurry up and make a decision, Lord Captain, we don't have time to rub it off!" ”

Shuang has always been surprised by the relationship between Lin Bin and Gongsun Hong, the two seem to be friends of life and death, Gongsun Hong often praised Lin Bin in the soldiers during the period of the fort, and praised Lin Bin's single slaughter of tigers, and the story of more than 20 horses undefeated, which made Lin Bin's prestige widely spread among ordinary soldiers, which made Lin Bin attract attention during the battle with the Huns. Lin Bin's bravery has been confirmed in the bloody battle of the soldier's fort, ordinary soldiers do not ask much, just hope to follow under the command of an officer who dares to fight bloodily, so that there are more opportunities for meritorious service, no soldier is willing to follow the officer who can only shout, what they ask for, but the official does not just shout "Give me a rush!" "I'm just watching the soldiers fight to the death in the rear.

"Captain, you call me?" Shuang looked at the angry face on his face, and then at Lin Bin with a flat face, and said with a smile: "The subordinates of these two roads know how to go." ”

"Let me ask you, which Xiongnu tribes are grazing north of the Yellow River?"

"North of the Yellow River? It's not called the Yellow River in front! We Han people call it the Zhishui River, the Huns call it the Ba River, in the north of the Yellow River is the pastoral area of the King of Lou Fu, and the Gaoque in the northwest direction is the pastoral area of the King of Youxian. ”

Lin Bin looked at Gongsun Hong and saw that he was still stunned, as if he hadn't figured anything out.

"Tell me about the Aries Kingdom."

"Hehe, the bath river is the name of the Huns, we Chinese people don't have so many names, if the team officer is called the lower reaches of the Zhishui River, it will also become. Gongsun Shichang is not wrong, the king of Aries was originally grazing with the king of Lou Fu, but he suddenly had a dispute with the king of Lou Fu half a year ago, so the clan moved north to join the Youxian Wang. The king of Aries asked the king of Youxian to marry his daughter to him, but the king of Youxian refused, so he moved from Gaoque to the north of the Yellow River, and took root in the elms. It wasn't until the Xiongnu Shan Yuting's Zhongxing said that he would come to persuade him in person, and the two stopped fighting. ”

Lin Bin was a little impatient when he saw that Shuang hadn't talked about the topic for most of the day, and glared at Shuang fiercely.

"That's it, that's ......, this, if according to the habits of the Huns, cattle and sheep and other things are their army food, the general army is fighting in front, and there are slaves sending cattle and sheep to the camp every day for soldiers to eat, and the Huns will not leave too many livestock in the barracks, so Gongsun Hong's proposal is not untargeted, it is not difficult to grab the war horses of the Aries King's department, but I am afraid of being discovered......"

Lin Bin praised happily: "You kid knows the Aries Department very well!" ”

Shuang Han smiled, "Of course, of course, my subordinates have lived in Biansai since they were young, and they have been to Xihe County and Dinglang County as material officers (infantry), so I have heard a lot of things." ”

Lin Bin was relieved, he had the bottom in his heart, Gongsun Hong was on the side to give advice, and he was familiar with the terrain of the Yellow River, and he avoided a lot of risks.

Gongsun Hong finally got his grievances, he did hear the news before he was exiled that the Aries King occupied the pastureland north of the Yellow River, and the reason why he chose there was not because the Aries King and the Lou Fu King had fought hard and needed to rely on plundering the Han people to replenish the population?

If Gongsun Hong guessed correctly, King Lou Fu should have received the news of King Aries' southward movement at this time, and King Lou Fu, who had lost his pasture and held a grudge, would definitely send troops to attack King Aries' old camp, and as soon as the two Xiongnu tribes got up, the small tribes in the Heshuo area would also rob each other of the pastures, and King Aries would inevitably retreat in a hurry after disappearing, so the danger of the fort would be lifted.

There is also a deeper meaning, Lin Bin can not only take advantage of the chaos in the Heshuo area, even if he returns to the Han Kingdom to continue to serve as a soldier in the future, it is a good excuse to feint the Aries King's garrison to relieve the danger of the fortress.

"Why not survive and thrive?" Gongsun Hongmei thought to ......
