Chapter 40 [The General Assembly (2)]

("Zhao Wuxian 2014" was rewarded in the middle of the night, which shows kindness; "Wolf Star" has also been rewarded for many days in a row, thank you! )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Raole water in August, the river is abundant, the fish and shrimp are beautiful, the green grass on both sides is like grass, and the distant mountains are stacked on top of each other. The mushroom-like domes, as if emerging after the rain, are all over the hills and plains, and there is no edge in sight. The silence of the grassland has been broken by countless galloping knights, who gallop around day and night, stirring the grassland like a boil.

This is the first thing Ma Han and his party saw when they just entered the range of the Xianbei Tooth Tent.

After nearly ten days of long journey, the dusty horses and his party finally arrived at their destination. When they were still a hundred miles away from the Xianbei Tooth Tent, they encountered the Xianbei patrol cavalry, and after inspecting the bronze medal, they sent a cavalry to guide the way forward until they reached the Raole water.

In the distance, a group of cavalry galloped towards him, and he was still outside Lixu, Yan Zhi saw that it was the family soldiers led by his brother, and excitedly confessed to the horse, and led his entourage to urge the horse to meet him. After a while, the sound of hooves thundered, and the Yan brothers came up with dozens of horses.

Yan Rou's hearty laughter came from afar, obviously in a very good mood: "Rou has been waiting for many days, and finally looks forward to the appearance of the dragon." The dragon really pinched his fingers to count the day, and it arrived the day before the start of the conference, which really whetted the appetite of all the adults. ”

Ma Han and Yan Rou saluted each other and said with a smile: "Why am I hanging people's appetites?" ”

Yan Rou raised his thumb and praised: "Xiaozhishan slaughtered empty-handed, so that Lord Karasuma sacrificed his slaves and retired from the army, and returned with a feather, this matter has already spread in Mobei, and everyone knows about Xianbei and Karasuma in all counties." At this conference, the person who the adults present most want to see is you, but you are the latest one, you say, why don't you whet the appetite of the adults of all departments? ”

Ma Han smiled indifferently and didn't say anything, but Tian Yu behind him asked, "Has Xing Envoy Jun arrived?" ”

"Arrived yesterday."

"Okay, after paying a visit to Lord Kebineng, please ask Brother Ruoshui to lead Yu to the Xing Envoy Monarch's tent."

"Serve yourself."

Talking and laughing, everyone believed in the reins, pointed all the way, and walked slowly.

When the group approached the pontoon bridge on Raole Water, a team of knights galloped towards them, and the momentum was violent.

Wu Chai reacted very quickly, his hand moved, the bow and arrows were in his hand, shouted loudly, and led twenty Hange cavalry to stop in front of Ma Hu, and twenty-one bows pointed to ride together.

Ma Qiang looked up, and judging from the clothing, this cavalry was Karasuma, and one of them actually knew it. Ma Han squinted and smiled, patted Wu Chai's shoulder, motioned for him to get out of the way, urged the horse to come out of the crowd, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the right marquis, what's the matter?" Do you find any interesting prey for me to practice? ”

This acquaintance is the right Hou Neng Chen of the Right Beiping Karasuma. At the moment, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he grinned, barely squeezing out a smile. First said that he had no malicious intent, and then he retreated, revealing a Karasuma boy behind him.

This Karasuma boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he wore a hat made of extremely rare ferret skin, with three white feathers in his hat, and was dressed in a white fox robe, with a strong body and handsome features. At this moment, the young man was staring at Ma Han intently, his expression was focused, as if he was not looking at people, but at a rare thing.

After a while, the Karasuma boy shook his head in confusion: "Although it is very majestic, it is not as good as the Black Brothers, and I can't see that I can kill a real bear!" Ma Jinglong, how did you do that? ”

Yan Rou on the side was trying to tell Ma Han the identity of the young man, but Ma Han raised his hand to stop and said with a smile: "As expected, this must be the King of Guli." ”

Karasuma nodded: "That's right, I'm Lou Ban." ”

This young man turned out to be the future of the Karasuma people, the son of Qiu Liju, and the building class of the crown prince of Xianbei with the king of Zuo Guli. Kebineng was able to invite him to participate in the Qilin Conference, which proved his strength and prestige in the three Xianbei from one side.

Ma Han, Tian Yu, the Yan brothers and a group of servants who put away their swords and bows saluted Lou Ban on their horses.

After the ceremony, Ma Han smiled and said, "King Gu Li really wants to know how I did it?" ”

Lou Ban nodded heavily, his young face full of longing.

Ma Han stretched out his hand: "Borrow the right Hou Hou waist knife to use." ”

Neng Chen hesitated for a moment, and saw that Lou Ban's face was not good, so he had to pull out the three-foot knife at his waist and throw it to Ma Han.

Ma Han raised his hand to take it, flicked it with his fingers, and praised: "Good knife, at least thirty refinements." ”

"It's fifty refinements." Neng Chen snorted coldly.

"Oh, Fifty Lian, it doesn't matter if you break it, right?"

Neng Chenzhi's face changed, and he was about to speak, but Lou Ban preemptively said: "It doesn't matter, if it is broken, I will return him a seventy refined knife." ”

Neng Chen was extremely depressed, he didn't care much about whether his knife would be broken, he still had several such knives in his collection, but if it was broken by Ma Han in front of him, it would be tantamount to a slap in the face. Hmm, wait, what does he want to do? This is a fifty-tempered steel knife!

Ma Han directly told him the answer with his actions - holding the handle of the knife in his left hand, holding the blade of the knife in his right hand, and pinching and folding his five fingers. Boom! There was a crisp sound of stabbing, and the fifty-tempered steel knife, like five taels of wood, was broken in two.

Ma Han threw the broken knife into the ground and laughed: "Steel is like this, let alone flesh and blood?" ”

In the laughter, he rode his horse across the bridge first, and a group of Hange knights, Tian Yu and Yan brothers followed closely behind him.

Neng Chen looked at the broken knife on the grass, his face turned blue and white, and his eyes were faintly frightened. Behind him, a group of Karasuma cavalry exchanged heads and ears, both shocked and admired.

Only Lou Ban's eyes lit up, looking at the figure of Ma Han and his party in the distance, and muttered: "Tu Zhen warrior, as expected, his hands are harder than iron?" ”

……

Going deep into the tiger and wolf's den, Ma Han knew that only courage could deter Hu Nu. As long as there is an opportunity to show, it must be revealed. Nomads believe only in fists, only by force, and by hiding their armpits, they will only be despised and will invite even greater trouble.

After subduing the Karasuma people, Ma Han wanted to go to visit Kebineng, but the tooth tent came to tell him that Kobineng and the adults of the various tribes had gone out hunting and had not yet returned. So, together with Tian Yu and the Yan brothers, Ma Han turned to visit Xing Ju, the captain of the Karasuma school.

Xing Ju also received an invitation to hunt Kebineng, but he only arrived one day earlier than Ma Han, and he was tired from traveling for days and had not yet recovered, so he declined. At this moment, Xing Ju was smiling and meeting Ma Han and his party in the tent.

Despite the tiring travel, Xing Ju's beard and appearance were still very neatly combed, even if he was a guest outside the Sai, he would never lose his manners. Beside him stood a military general who was about thirty years old, Li Gu, the cavalry marquis who escorted Xing Ju to the north for the party.

Xing Ju was full of praise for Ma Han's retreat from the enemy: "Fighting with bare hands, retreating in shock, the dragon really has faith and bravery." There are the dragons and the Han Ge as my barrier, and the northern Han Dynasty is worry-free. ”

Ma Han knelt on the right side of the head, bowed and said: "The king has a good reputation, the courage of the fierce, after all, is only the courage of the horseman, to really deter Zhuhu, rely on a strong army." ”

"yes, yes! Strong armies are rare. Hu Gong is strong, Hu Ma is like flying, how to break it, only strong military weapons. Xing Ju seemed to remember the tragedy of his predecessor and sighed.

"Make Jun ......" Tian Yu, who was kneeling at the head of the horse, opened his mouth, sensing the sharp gaze projected on his side, and finally swallowed the words back.

Ma Han knew what Tian Yu wanted to say - a new harness.

As the No. 2 person in the Hange Department, it is impossible for Tian Yu not to notice the unique equipment of the Hange cavalry, of course, this is also related to the fact that Ma Han did not deliberately hide him. Tian Yu immediately realized the important effect of this new style of horse harness on the cavalry, and wanted to write a letter to inform Xing Ju at that time, but was blocked by the horseman.

Ma Han bluntly said to Tian Yudao, giving him a year to create a cavalry army that could compete with Xianbei and Karasuma Jingcai, and then dedicated this secret to Xing Ju. "The more people who know, the easier it is to leak. If the Xianbei and Karasuma people knew about it and equipped it, it would be like a tiger with wings, and my cavalry was not yet in army at that time. In this way, the advantage of the Hange cavalry will be lost, and the Hange department will also be in danger. ”

Tian Yu was silent, and finally nodded, agreeing to Ma Han's condition that the secret would be revealed in a year.

Before setting off for this trip north, Ma Han had ordered all stirrups and horseshoes to be removed. The twenty Han Ge cavalry who accompanied him to the north were all Han slaves whose relatives died at the hands of the Hu people, and who were repeatedly abused by the Hu people, and who had a deep hatred for the Hu people.

Tian Yufang was just touched by Xing Ju, and he was so excited that he almost blurted out, but fortunately, Ma Han stopped him in time.

After some conversation, Xing Ju wanted to leave Ma Han and his party for a banquet, but a messenger passed the news that Lord Kebineng was back, please go and meet. The crowd had no choice but to take their leave.
