~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the end of July, Ma Han and his entourage crossed Gushui, crossed the Great Wall, and marched north along the Yanshan Mountain Range, about to return to Hange Village.
Compared with when he went, the team did not decrease, and there were three more people, Tian Yu and his two retinues. The current Tian Yu is very different from the attire when he was in Ningxian: he wore a headdress with Wu Ben, Zhu Qian with a jaw binding, wearing a brown cowhide short armor, a long knife at his waist, and a short bow and a bag of arrows stuck in the back of the saddle. It looks quite mighty, sweeping away the literary quality of Ning County when it first appeared.
Tian Yu's family is not wealthy, and he is from a poor family, and this valuable armor and horse equipment are half rewarded by Xing Ju, and half are given by Wu Mingda and other township parties. Ma Han and the Yan brothers wanted to give him money and property to be strong, but Tian Yu resolutely refused. In history, Tian Yu had the reputation of "not being able to bear the gold", and such a good character was cultivated when he was a teenager.
The Yan brothers and their entourage opened the way in front, and Wu chased the twenty Hange cavalry in the center to escort the various tribal shortages that they had purchased during their entry into the customs, which was also one of the main purposes of their trip. Ma Han and Tian Yu were at the end, occasionally talking to Tian Yu, and each time he walked a long way, he led several horses out to observe the terrain of the mountain, and then used charcoal to draw on a piece of parchment. From time to time, he took out the map he got from Yuan Shao for comparison.
Tian Yu was also very interested in this, and joined in from time to time, pointing and nodding frequently.
Yan Zhi saw it in his eyes and said abruptly: "For generals, they need to know the time, geography, and people's hearts, and this horse marshal is already quite a good general." ”
Yan Rou's eyes flashed: "The cavalry department of the captain of Karasuma is not a fake Sima, but he is willing to be a barrier, and he uses his troops and horses to resist Hu Man, this person's ambition is not small!" ”
Yan Zhi was a little worried and asked, "In this case, do we still want to form an alliance with it?" ”
"Forge an alliance! Why not? Yan Rou replied very simply, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth, "Now that the Hange Department has been protected by the captain of Karasuma, the Xianbei people are also afraid of it, and the Karasuma people dare not provoke it lightly. ”
Further on, it was Bai Tan, and at this time, Pegasus, an attendant who was exploring the path ahead, reported: "There are two Karasuma people in front who ask to see Marshal Mabe." ”
I heard that it was Karasuma people, and this place was close to the right Beiping, so Ma Gang ordered the knight to protect the material vehicle, and then went with the three horsemen such as Wu Chase. Tian Yu and the Yan brothers naturally couldn't sit idly by and went together.
Ma Han and Tian Yu, the Yan brothers, Wu Chai and others walked forward, and saw two Karasuma people on horseback standing quietly, and when they saw Ma Han and others, they raised their voices and said, "That is the handsome of the Han Ge Ma Division?" ”
Ma Han rode out alone: "Some-and-so." ”
The Karasuma people subconsciously reined in their horses and took two steps back, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm waiting for Karasuma-sama's horsemen's guards, and I'm waiting here on the orders of Lord Katadon." The adults invited Ma Bushuai to meet at the foot of the small branch mountain, and there were generous gifts, so Ma Bushuai must be practiced. ”
Karasuma-sama?!
Both Tian Yu and the Yan brothers showed shocked expressions.
Wu Chai also patted the horse closer, and narrated to Ma Han in a low voice: "Badun is the son of the former Karasuma-sama Qiu Liju. After Qiu Liju's death, he left behind a son named Lou Ban, who should have succeeded him, but he was still young and afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public, so he was temporarily deterred by his brother, that is, this Bandun. At present, the three counties of Karasuma are in charge of the three counties of the Lou class, although they are not listed, they are actually single. ”
Ma Han has been out of the fortress for a while, and he also has a certain understanding of the situation of Karasuma and Xianbei, knowing that this Qiu Liju once led the three counties of Karasuma, and what Khan Lu King Wuyan and Cliff King Su Fuyan all obeyed their dispatch. In the late Han Dynasty and Zhongping years, this person was a man for a while, and even Gongsun Zan suffered his big loss, was surrounded in Guanzi City for more than 200 days, and was almost captured alive. Later, he also rebelled with Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, and killed the previous captain of the Karasuma school, and was a headache for the border generals of the Han Dynasty. Bun Dun is his subordinate son (nephew), who took over Qiu Liju's domination of the three counties of Karasuma, and can be called the king of kings, but there is no Han Dynasty feudal edict, and he does not dare to call himself a single Yu.
The Karasuma people have a real nameless Shan Yu, and they actually came here from all the way from the Hanshan Mountain in Liaoxi, where the king tent of the Karasuma people is located, what do they want to do? Xingshi asks for guilt and stands up for the Wuyan Ministry?
This is a question that not only Ma Han, but also Tian Yu and the Yan brothers want to know.
"Badun, huh? This ID ...... This name is a little familiar, and it seems that he is also a character who can be on the table. Ma Han turned his head and said to Tian Yu and the Yan brothers, "How about it, would you like to go with a certain person for a while?" ”
Tian Yu smiled faintly: "Yu Ben is engaged in the Han Ge Department, and wherever Brother Jinglong goes, Yu should follow." ”
Yan Rou smiled sheepishly: "Lord Badun, I haven't visited you for more than a year, and it's time to see you at this time." ”
Ma Han smiled and pointed with a long whip: "Xiaozhi Mountain, the place where my Hange Department is famous, no matter what kind of adult he is, when he comes to my territory, it is the dragon that has to be coiled, the tiger has to lie down, it is the king, and he has to lie on his stomach!" ”
……
At the foot of the small branch mountain, more than 300 horsemen of Karasuma are surrounded by a semicircle, and the central mink is under a large banner, and there are many people, and dozens of rangers around are constantly paraded, and the defense is very strict.
Ma Han saw what Badun called "generous gifts": about 100 fugitive slaves, more than 70% of whom were Han slaves. At this moment, these fugitive slaves are cutting down trees and digging holes and erecting fences under the supervision of the Karasuma people. Ma Han is a little confused, what kind of fame is this Karasuma-sama? It's still early now, and although there are dark clouds rolling in the sky, it's still too late to run home and collect clothes.
The Yan brothers had stepped forward to meet and respond to the inquiry, and after a while, under the guidance of the Yan brothers, dozens of horses came over from the opposite side. At the head was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, richly dressed, with a white hat and a white feather, not tall, with a majestic figure, with long arms, and a bearded hair, like a lion; His facial features seem to be rough, but his eyes are so thin that they can't be seen, and they squint from time to time, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Ma Han knew that this was the king of Karasuma, and what impressed him the most was the pair of thick and ape-like giant arms, which were the hallmarks of strong archers.
He stared at Ma Han for a long time, his eyes flickering, full of surprise and suspicion. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Kill the Hei Zhen brothers with one enemy and two, and defeat the five hundred cavalry of the Wuyan Department with two hundred cavalry, you are enough to be called a warrior." The people of Karasuma revere the warriors regardless of whether they are friends or enemies, so I, Karasuma-sama, have a gift to give the warriors a gift—behold, this is my gift, which I have 'collected' along the way, all of them fugitive slaves who fled from the tribes in the name of Muhango. In the past, I would have tortured and killed fugitive slaves with the most brutal means, but now I give them a chance to survive and achieve what they want. If you accept a challenge, I will release all these fugitive slaves and restrain my people from seeking revenge against you. How is it? ”
Ma Han's sharp gaze brushed on Badun's body, and said coldly: "Are you here to challenge, or are you going to add a group of people to challenge?" ”
His eyes narrowed habitually, and he smiled gloomily: "What you want to challenge is not people, but ......" With a wave of his hand, the wooden gate of the fence that had been set up in a circle was opened, and several Karasuma cavalry rushed into the village, pulled out their knives and axes, and slashed at a cage covered with black cloth. However, after three or two blows, the thick rope tied with the black cloth was cut by a sharp blade, and the black cloth fell to the ground with a clatter, revealing the things in the cage......
"Roar-" A beast roar that frightened the centaurs and horses resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The last note of the last note slowly spit out: "...... A real bear! ”
