Chapter 10 Temporary Replacement Sima

"This matter is very important, and I need to report it to the Captain

, once there is really a meticulous work of the Huns in Yanmen Pass, we will be in danger

now". After a long time, Cao Xing said with a solemn face.

The solemnity on the face of the other Sima Yan Ling next to him still did not dissipate

, just nodded silently.

Liu Jin, the initiator, didn't seem to hear Cao Xing's words

, the positive color of his face made Cao Xing and Yan Ling think that Liu Jin was dedicated to the public

The same.

"You guys are here waiting for me to come back", dropping this sentence, Cao was anxious

Hurriedly left the mansion. It took a long time to come back, a face of one

It looks like a grim face facing a great enemy.

"Brother Zigang, Chief Liu Tun, Lord Captain has an order, let me wait for the three of them

Mobilize people to arrest Xue Lan, and detain Xue Lan for the time being. Wait to play

After the Huns are dismissed, they will come to investigate the matter." Cao Xuan said and took it out

An arrow engraved with the word 'Han' was handed to the two of them to check.

Yan Ling and Liu Jin agreed to each other after examining the arrow

Leaving aside to talk about it, Cao Xing, who stayed in the hall dressed up vigorously, thought

In the conversation with the captain just now, Cao Xing became more and more sure of Liu Jin's judgment.

It turned out that Cao Xing had just gone to report Liu Jin's conjecture to Captain Han Tao

At first, Han Tao didn't believe that Xue Lan dared to sell iron to Hungary without permission

Slaves. But when Cao Xing truthfully reported Liu Jin's speculation to Han Taozhi

After that, he didn't dare to be careless.

According to the previous situation of the Xiongnu Koubian, a small Xiongnu

The king of Zuogu Li can send three or five thousand men at most, and the arrows are equal to the army

The most important equipment is not adequately prepared. But this time the Huns

A third-class prince of the king of Guli was able to dispatch 30,000 iron horsemen,

Where did he get the confidence? Where did you get enough for 30,000 people?

Weapons and bows? Even if the arrows are not well prepared, there are 30,000 handles

Machete is also not a small number.

In this way, Han Tao can't help but believe it, but there is another question

The question is, even if there is really an internal response, you can't just suspect that it is Xue Lan.

After all, Xue Lan is just a small border army Sima, and there is a captain on it

Han Tao was pressed, how could he sell to the Huns unknowingly

So many pieces of iron?

In fact, it's no wonder that Cao Xing and Yan Ling doubt him, if you want to blame, you can only blame

Blame himself for doing a few things that got him into this crisis.

First of all, when Liu Jin broke off, it was he who prevented Han Tao from sending troops

Rescue, what are you afraid of? It should be that Liu Jin will find out when the Huns are exploring

The Huns said that they had a large number of iron equipment, and then they wanted to kill

People are dead, right?

If it can also be explained before that I don't want to be because of a small scout

Wu Chang took in more soldiers, so when Liu Jin returned,

Why did he suggest that the captain kill him? A little captain

There is no threat to him, if anything

, then I can only be afraid that Liu Jin will say about the iron weapons of the Huns.

Also, Xue Lan is Sima, and his subordinates are at least at full capacity

Yes, there should be a thousand. And the state capital is also based on the establishment of 1,000 people

He was given weapons and armor, silver, and grain and grass to Xue Lan. But Xue Lan's subordinates

The actual number is less than 600, and there are 400 more

Where did the weapons go?

You know, because of the immaturity of iron-smelting technology, war and training make

weapons, armor and other military objects are particularly susceptible to damage. Xue Lan used to be many

reported to the state government for the next time, saying that the weapons and armor of the troops under his command were seriously damaged

, which is in dire need of replenishment. Moreover, the state capital has also reported it to Xue Lan again and again

A large number of brand-new weapons and equipment were transferred to him, at least in quantity

Up to a staggering thousands of pieces.

These weapons and armor are enough to equip how many people, and there are always thousands, right?

If the iron armor in it is re-smelted into a scimitar, then this

The number should be able to increase by three or four thousand, after all, iron armor is consumed

Fei can have much more fine iron than a single scimitar.

Moreover, Xue Lan, as the Sima of the border army, has the responsibility of defending the city. who

It can be guaranteed that he will not secretly release some peddlers while he is guarding the city

A merchant who sells ironware?

You must know that in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty collected salt and iron into the national system

After the operation and management, the price of iron tools in the private sector remained high. as

As a result, these iron tools are already sold at a high price in China, and they are extremely scarce

The Huns of iron ore, these were already high-priced iron tools after the Huns

The price will be surprisingly high.

It is the nature of businessmen to seek profits, and this extremely high return will make a considerable part

Dividing businessmen will take risks. In the past, there was no shortage of merchants who colluded to defend the city

The case of the generals secretly selling iron tools to the Xiongnu.

So for now, Xue Lan is the biggest suspect, though

There is no direct evidence that Xue Lan sold iron tools to the Huns.

But now the Xiongnu army is pressing. Han Tao served as the guard of Yanmen Pass

The responsibility is great. Out of caution, Han Tao still decided to detain Xue Lan first,

In case of a change, when the time comes, it will not be as simple as losing his official position and resigning

Single.

Thinking that Xue Lan still had hundreds of soldiers under him, in order to prevent Xue Lan

Even a worm will turn. Han Tao ordered Cao Xuan to take his own arrows and mobilize the Guannei

's soldiers and horses, forcibly arresting Xue Lan.

It didn't take long for more than 1,500 elite border soldiers to take this

The mansion, which covers no more than five acres of land, is surrounded by clusters. Each of these soldiers has one hand

A torch, the light of the torch illuminated the entire Xue Mansion as if it were daylight

Kind. The leading Cao Xing, Yan Ling and Liu Jin are all dressed in armor

The appearance of the enemy.

In the house, there have long been guards guarding the door who brought Cao Xing and others to bring troops

Information to Xue Lan. Xue Lan also thought that Cao Xing and others wanted to repay him today

fell into Liu Jin's hatred, so he led the troops. Hurriedly ordered the soldiers to gather in the mansion

More than 100 guards and family soldiers were waiting for them, and they came to the gate of the mansion

After that, get ready to intimidate.

"Cao Xing, Yan Ling, you two villains, you are actually for a small one

If you dare to come and besiege me, when I see the captain, I will wait for you

Inform the captain of the siege of his colleagues, and punish you and others." All in one

Xue Lan, who was in armor and holding a dragon halberd in his hand, was very inward

Threatened through the door of the house.

"Hmph, Xue Lan thief, it's better to persuade you to be caught, me

I will come to arrest you on the orders of the captain." Yan Ling

His face was gloomy, and he said coldly.

"I want to see the Captain." Xue Lan heard this, and she didn't know what it was

True or false, my heart, which was already a little flustered, beat faster, and said hurriedly.

"Don't talk nonsense with him, rush in and arrest him first", Liu Jin

Afraid that things would change and his revenge plan would be in vain, he hurriedly advised.

After hearing this, Cao Xing and Yan Ling glanced at each other and nodded

nodded. At the same time ordered: "Kill".

The soldiers of the more than 1,000 army got the orders of the two Simas, and they shook their swords one after another

Spears, swords, halberds, and strong bows are prepared. Hundreds of crossbowmen fired arrows in unison, for a moment

The arrows flew like locusts, shooting at a huge Xue Mansion

Like a hedgehog.

Under the cover of the crossbowmen's fire, eight burly soldiers carried the collision

The ram used by the city gate slammed against the gate with a loud whirl, and it was issued

There was a muffled thumping sound, which shook people's hearts.

On both sides of the goal-hitting team are dozens of ladders lined up, and the ladders are hitched

Behind the walls of Xue's mansion, a group of heavily armed border soldiers were killed

Quickly climbed the ladder, and then jumped into the house.

For a while, the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the night sky, and it did not disperse for a long time.

"I'm fighting with you villains." Xue Lan saw that the door of the mansion was slammed

Open, with a loud roar, the hand dance painting dragon and the heavenly halberd will come out.

Xue Lan, known as the No. 1 general in Yanmen Pass, is not an ordinary soldier

Can be resisted, a shot painted dragon halberd flies up and down, killing the side of the siege

The sergeant complained bitterly. A terrifying scar matched Xue Lan's body

The blood, like the killing god in the dark night, is worthy of the first place in Yanmen Pass

The title of the will.

Under his leadership, more than 100 guards and family soldiers were also like chicken blood

All the same, these people are all brave, and everyone is in the lead. For a time, both sides were unexpected

It is a stalemate, and it is difficult to solve the killing.

Seeing that the war was stalemate, Liu Jin knew that this was the time for him to perform. At the moment, he didn't care about the injuries on his body, so he picked up two simple knives like spinning

The wind swept into the chaotic crowd.

Although the Mengjia cavalry behind him got off their horses, they were also extremely brave

, a rod of fine iron spear like a soul messenger. Whatever stands in the way

The guards of the Xue Lan Mansion in front of the cavalry were all throats or hearts

If you are shot at a critical point, you will be killed in an instant.

"Boom", a feathered arrow with a sharp sound of breaking the sky, like lightning

He shot Xue Lan in the left arm. The trembling tail of the arrow is impressively engraved with official script

'Yanmen Cao sex' four small words.

It turned out that Cao Xing saw Xue Lan being brave and worried that it would cause too much unnecessary

lost, so he used his skills as a marksman, and sure enough, he shot an arrow

Make contributions.

Yan Ling, who was not far from Cao Xing, saw Xue Lan being hit by an arrow, and his face flashed

And over, he also took the bow and arrow. With a bang, the bowstring sounded, one

The sharp feathered arrow went straight for Xue Lan's neck.

"Don't kill him". Cao Xing saw that Yan Ling's feather arrow was actually heading straight for Xue Lan

hurriedly shouted.

But it's too late. With the muffled sound of a sharp weapon piercing the skin, came the sound

, Xue Lan, known as the first general of Yanmen, fell to the ground in response. fresh

Red blood gushed out along the mouth of the arrow, and Xue Lan's eyes were deep

Sweetness, incomprehension, and resentment gradually dissipated as blood flowed out.

"Hmph, it's really cheap for you to die like this." Kill and disperse Xue Lan's personal guards

Liu Jin was the first to come to Xue Lan's corpse, with a look of revenge

Happy, secretly said in my heart.

"Alas, Brother Zigang, how can I explain this to the captain." Cao Xuan let out a long sigh and pointed to Xue Lan's gradually cold corpse

Said.

"Brother Yuming, don't worry, if someone does something alone, it will not be involved

Brother Yuming". Yan Ling didn't care about it.

Subsequently, Cao Xing and the three ordered the soldiers to collect Xue Lan's body and clean it up

The battlefield is not mentioned for the time being.

said that the three of them saw Han Tao, and after reporting the battle situation, Han Tao looked at him

Shocked, he never expected that Xue Lan, the bravest under his command, would actually fight

He's dead. Immediately, he scolded Yan Ling, who shot Xue Lan, and another

The external punishment was used in March to compensate Xue Lan's family.

"My lord, now that Xue Lan is dead, there is no main general in the second part, so I don't want to

The soldiers mutinied, and it was necessary to make arrangements as soon as possible." Cao Xuan took Xue Lan's into account

After the death, he said with some concern.

"Well, what Yuming said is reasonable, I don't know if Yuming has a candidate?" die

The only way to do this is to stabilize the morale of the army. Han Tao sighed

, Fang asked.

"Liu Tunchang is brave and thoughtful, and he will definitely be able to deter

Those thugs". Cao Xing thought for a moment, thinking that with Liu Jin's martial arts and

The bravery of the Mengjia cavalry, as well as Liu Jin's speculation

's careful thoughts, thinking that it should be able to shock Xue Lan's remaining subordinates, so

Suggested.

Hearing this, Han Tao hesitated, and after a long time, he sighed again

angry, and said: "Then let Liu Jin temporarily replace Sima in the second part."

As soon as he heard that he had been promoted again, Liu Jin was overjoyed, and he was for Han Tao in his heart

The hatred dissipated suddenly. Hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Xie is promoted,

The villain will live up to the expectations of the adults and Cao Sima."

However, Han Tao said: "If you can't stabilize the morale of the army, Ben."

The lieutenant is going to have you martialed, you know? (To be continued)
