The autumn rain of more than half a month made the road muddy, the horse's hooves splashed the muddy liquid in the muddy water, a snort, the war horse stood still, and the Han warrior who was immediately wearing a fish-scale battle armor and holding an iron-tire bow looked at the alien camp full of busy figures three thousand meters away, and behind him was the fifty-five Han iron horsemen who were also wearing fish-scale armor.

The alien camp had already found the iron cavalry in the distance, and seeing that there were not many people, it didn't look like they were going to fight, but they just sent more than a dozen horsemen, as if they wanted to ask what the group of people was going to do. In the camp, the men were tinkering with their weapons as usual, while the women were cheerfully driving the cattle and sheep into the pen, and many fur-clad children were laughing and playing with their wool forks. A very harmonious scene.

"Can you see who belongs to the camp in the distance?" Koga pointed to the camp in the distance and asked a knight beside him, he saw twelve horsemen running out of the camp, and instinctively wanted to draw arrows, thinking that he still suppressed Yu Wang, who was holding out the arrows and opening his bow.

The knight's name is Lin Ying, a man who followed Lin Bin to fight his way out of the fort, originally without a name, and was a fugitive slave who escaped from the Huns. Later, Lin Bin saw that he was good at catching prey, and his posture was fierce, like an eagle pounced on a rabbit, so he gave him a single word 'eagle', and the eagle thanked Lin Bin for giving him a name, and added a surname to himself, Lin, and since then called himself Lin Ying.

Lin Ying is not only good at catching prey, but also has excellent eyesight, and learned a hidden routine from Lin Bin, and is often sent to the outermost guard, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and was promoted to the rank of chief by Jiahe. This time, Jiahe was appointed by Lin Bin as the vanguard, and asked Lin Bin for Lin Ying, who was more familiar with the nomads, and this is why Jiahe asked Lin Ying about it.

"Lord Hui, they are Qiang people."

Receiving the answer, Kaga ordered the knights to disperse, line up in a straight line, and clamp the belly of the horse himself, and advance towards the galloping Qiang, with the two horsemen behind him hurrying to follow.

After a while, the two groups of people were fifty paces apart, staring at each other with wide eyes.

The twelve horsemen wore clothes similar to those of the Huns, but they wore a wool rope made of wool around their necks, and a hat made of wool on their heads, to distinguish themselves from the Huns but the Qiang, and the Qiang people were also divided into many ethnic groups, each with their own ' Can be marked 'to identify which ethnic group of Qiang people, can be marked is a kind of human face wooden card, this kind of wooden card is generally 20 cm ~ 25 cm long, 2 cm ~ 5 cm wide, one end will be sharpened, the other end is made of flat head or wedge-shaped head, the wooden card is painted with an ink pen.

A Qiang man led by him saw clearly what the three of them were wearing, saw the strange style of fish scale armor, his eyes flashed, and saw that the three of them were wearing red robes, and there was a confused look on his face, until he saw a war knife pinned to the waist of the three people that looked like a scimitar, but the bend was different, and then he asked out loud: "Guests from afar, where do you come from?" ”

Jiahe originally thought that he could not understand the language when he spoke, but he didn't expect it to be the Central Plains dialect, and saw that the man's tone was not hostile, but he was a little confused, and he also hugged his fists kindly: "We are from the Han Kingdom, and we are passing through this place, not intentionally to disturb." ”

The Qiang people at the head were stunned, and murmured, "Han people in full armor?" ", may have a straightforward personality, and directly refute: "Han people, what is passing through the mouth (this), according to your society (said), what is the bow?" ”

Jiahe was completely stunned, just now the person was still fluent in the original dialect, and he didn't know why he changed a dialect of which place, he didn't understand, and stood in place in a daze.

"Oh!" The man looked clear, "It turns out that he is not a native of Hexi." Then he looked at Jiahe and repeated the question he had just said in a fluent Central Plains accent.

Lin Ying rode his horse close to Jiahe and whispered: "My lord, he is testing where we are from and whether there is any hostility." ”

Jiahe didn't understand a little, but he still told the Qiang people that he was just passing by, and he wouldn't get close to the camp, and asked if there was a place to rest nearby. Before he led the army first, Lin Bin repeatedly explained that if he met the Huns, Xianbei people, and Di people, he would withdraw when he saw more people, and if there were few, he would leave no livestock and kill them all, and if he met the Qiang people or other ethnic groups, try not to have a conflict.

Most of the twelve cavalry Qiang people originally held their weapons tightly, as if they were ready to fight at any time, which would make them understand that the people who came were Han people, and they were also Han soldiers, and their hands holding weapons returned to normal, and their faces also had a simple smile, which seemed to have a very good impression of the Han people.

"How many are there?" The Qiang man who took the lead, who called himself Xigong Shiyu, seemed to be eager to entertain Jiahe's group into the camp, but he was not sure how many people were behind this group of Han people.

As soon as Jia He heard that the Qiang people were asking if there was anyone behind, he immediately became vigilant, chatted a few words casually, and sincerely felt the kindness of the Qiang people, and then he was about to rein in his horse and run back, but he heard Xigong Shiyu behind him ask: "Han people, do you sell the armor and war knives on your body?" ”

"I have to ask my family ......" Jiahe replied, clenching his fists again, and then led the person back to the array.

The Qiang people watched the Han army leave with a look of pity on their faces, and then turned around and walked towards their camp.

The Qiang people living near the Hetao actually did not have too much conflict with the Han people, they were also a vulnerable group here, often trading with the Han border Sai merchants, and many Qiang tribes who hated the Huns also needed to find allies to fight against the brutal Huns, there is no doubt that the Han with a large population is one of the potential allies, but there are individual Qiang tribes who don't care so much, as long as they can afford to pay commissions, both the Han people and the Huns help to fight, causing the Qiang people to give the impression of all ethnic groups as a group of capricious villains.

……

Lin Bin led more than 700 people who were still behind and slowly moved forward, they left Hexi County, and scattered to take in the homeless people on the road. It's not because Lin Bin is kind to take in the homeless, but if you want to build a career, you can't do it without a sufficient population, these homeless people who can survive the war are all men, and they are men who are capable of fighting, as long as they are fed, and they are definitely a group of qualified soldiers after training, why not? Even Gongsun Hong, who has always been very picky, praised Lin Bin's idea well.

"That lady still stays in the frame, and wants to eat and drink?" Lin Bin is talking about Liu Jing, except for Lin Bin, Gongsun Hong and a very few other people in the team who know that it is the princess who was supposed to marry the Huns, only Han Shuo, who picked up a life and followed Liu Jing closely, knew the truth.

It is also strange to say, Lin Bin originally thought that the Huns would be moved by the robbery of the peace team, but he did not expect that more than two months had passed, but the Huns did not react at all, and it was precisely to observe that the Huns did not move, and he decided to continue to advance towards Heshuo.

Lin Bin, who has been puzzled, of course didn't know that Yi Zhixian was afraid of being punished, so he became a toilet paper once, and made up a ridiculous story to wipe the whole thing away, and now the Huns are fighting with the coalition forces in the Western Regions, and there is no time to subdue the soft Han State, of course, when the military ministers Da Danyu convinces the Western Regions countries, the Han State will inevitably suffer from the invasion of the Huns.

Gongsun Hong smiled and looked back at the frame that Han said he had personally protected, and saw the four maids huddled together for fear that one would shake and get out of the car, and said cryptically: "Since I don't want to reveal my identity, why don't I worry about it, why don't you pay more attention to whether there are enemy troops ahead." ”

Since Lin Bin commanded two hundred and fifty horsemen with fish scale armor and horizontal knives, he has high ambitions in his heart and wants to make a career very much. But it also almost depleted the looted supplies. He didn't waste too much idea on Liu Jing, and Liu Jing was very low-key, so that now Lin Bin has never seen Liu Jing except for the raid on the Hun camp, but Yanzi and Cui Niang are frequently summoned by Liu Jing, and they seem to be very familiar with each other.

The only person Lin Bin paid attention to was Han Shuo, but he saw that he was always guarding Liu Jing's side, regardless of the things in the team, and later felt that this person knew each other, and he just sent someone to spy on him, and he completely used his mental strength on how to gain a foothold in Heshuo.

Just thinking about the problem, he rode back in front of him......
