"You are Yan Ruoshui's disciple Yan Zikun?" In the main tent with thick white felt and simple furnishings, Ma Hupan sat behind the short case, looking at the young man in front of him, who was not a few years older than himself, and was high-spirited.

Yan Rou, Ma Han vaguely knew that there was indeed such a number one person in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but his reputation was not good, far less famous than those famous ministers and fierce generals, as for his younger brother Yan Zhi, he had never heard of it. But when he went back to the tent to meet this Yan Zhi and asked about the left and right, whether it was Tang Nu or Wu Chai, and even his horse servant Asu, they had all heard of the name of this Yan brother. From their words, one can hear the admiration for the Yan brothers. After all, it is indeed impressive to be able to maneuver around the fierce Hu world as a Han person, and to be a famous person.

Knowing the identity of the person who came, especially the celebrity brother who can be recorded in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Han's reception specifications were naturally improved accordingly, and he was transferred from the outside of the account to the account.

"A certain is Yan Zhi, I have seen the commander." Yan Zhi took off his hat and bowed only when he saw the lords of the tribes. Compared with Ma Han's calmness, Yan Zhi was calm on the surface, but extremely shocked in his heart. I never imagined that this fierce man who single-handedly blocked three hundred Xianbei elite horsemen and killed the three Xianbei warriors turned out to be a weak-crowned young man with a calm smile and introverted Yinghua.

Young heroes! This sentence flashed through Yan Zhi's mind, and he couldn't help but feel pressure on his mission. Well, I just hope that this person is less casual and brave, so that it is possible to fulfill the trust of his brother.

After the guest and the host drank the milk, Yan Zhi spoke first and tried to inquire about the origin of the horseman. But apart from saying that he is a Julu person, Ma Han is secretive about the rest of the things. Yan Zhi spent a long time, but he couldn't find out what he wanted, and his heart was a little colder, it seemed that this young man was not easy to deal with.

After going around with Yan Zhi for a long time and talking nonsense without nutrition, Ma Han asked with a smile: "I thank Mr. Yan Er for the heavy gift from him, I don't know what Mr. Yan has taught me here?" ”

Yan Zhi's trip on behalf of Lord Xianbei Kebi can negotiate, of course, he can't come empty-handed, and he brings a big gift. Including ten good horses, twenty peaks of Luo, 100 heads of cattle and sheep, ten gold and 30 households.

In this gift list, the heaviest is the "30 Han Nu Households", which is full of 100 Han Nu people, although most of them are old and weak, but according to the market price, a slave is worth at least 3,000 yuan, and this nearly 100 Han Nu is worth at least 300,000 yuan. As for the Hange tribe, the Hannu can't be calculated with money at all, they are the fathers and villagers, brothers and sisters of the tribe. Compared with the horses, the cows and sheep, this is the real gift.

No matter what Yan Zhi's purpose is, just for this big gift, Ma Han will listen to him carefully.

Yan Zhi smiled and said: "Ministry Marshal, Zhi is here on the orders of Lord Xianbei Kebineng, I hope that the Ministry Marshal can accept the good intentions of the adults......

Ma Han couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he heard Yan Zhi's words conveyed by Kebineng: "Kebineng won't be dizzy-please forgive me for my words." What I want to say is that I finally rescued Hermes-Epitek and set up my own army. If they were attached to him, would they not send the whole tribe back into the pit of fire and be enslaved by him? So, what's the point of me doing this? ”

Yan Zhi hurriedly said: "Otherwise, Kebineng's intentions, the Han Ge Department is still the commander, and what he wants is to obey." As long as the commander is ordered by the lord, from the south bank of the water to the white sandalwood, a radius of 100 miles, it is allowed to be the ranch of the Hange department, and the account can be built for the Hange department. With such conditions, it can be said that it is not good, why not think twice? ”

Ma Han glanced at Yan Zhi lightly and said, "After all, we are Han people, and the wish of all Han people in the ministry is to return to the homeland of the Han Dynasty. ”

Yan Zhi smiled quietly: "No matter what the commander wants, first seek a foothold, and then slowly figure it out, then it is the best policy." ”

Ma Han pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Mr. is reasonable, but I still have to discuss this matter with the elders in the ministry." In this way, the courtesy is still exchanged, and I will return the hundred Xianbei slaves, so that Mr. can also be on a good business. If Lord Ke wants to return more of his subordinates, then ask him to exchange the same number of Han Nu. There are nearly 1,000 Xianbei slaves in my department, and if he is willing to change, then I will seriously consider this mention. ”

Kebi Neng demanded the return of all Xianbei slaves and property free of charge, while Ma Han proposed a reciprocal exchange, the conditions between the two sides were too far apart, and Yan Zhike could not be the master, so he had to promise to convey it to Kebi Neng.

Ma Han also has his own calculations, what he needs most now is time, and what he lacks the most is time, if he can receive thousands of Han slaves from the Xianbei people in a peaceful way, this deal is definitely worth it. Even exchanging strong Xianbei people for weak Han Chinese is still cost-effectiveβ€”a group that shares the same hatred is definitely more powerful than a group that is not aligned.

Just when Ma Han was hospitably entertaining the first distinguished guest of his tribe, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves, and then a hurried voice came from outside the tent: "Report to the commander, there is a warning signal from the southeast of Baitan, a large number of cavalry have been found fifty miles away, the intention is unknown, how to deal with it, please make a decision." ”

The horse's cool action is frozen, fifty miles, southeast direction, a large number of cavalry, is it ......

Yan Zhi's expression did not move, and he secretly said in his heart: "Come, come, this time, and see how you deal with it?" ”

Ma Han's action was frozen for only a short moment, and he glanced at Yan Zhi lightly: "Probably the Karasuma people are looking for trouble, sir, but please sit wide, and go back when you go." ”

As soon as Ma Han's body moved, Yan Zhi stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, and said with a smile: "Regarding this batch of enemies who came to attack, Zhi came all the way south, but he heard some news, I don't know if the commander would like to take the time to listen to it?" ”

Ma Han sat down slowly and made a gesture to Yan Zhi that it was okay.

Yan Zhi nodded and said solemnly: "When Zhinan came, it was rumored that King Khan Lu was furious because of the attack on his tent by his commander, so his eldest son Zuo Hou Pufulu led Karasuma Jing to ride five hundred westward to ask for guilt. In terms of time, this is about the time. ”

"Uyan, Pufferu, five hundred horse......men," the horse muttered to himself, closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, then smiled widely, "Although it came earlier than expected, the number of men and horses was about the same as expected. Very good, since you are here, let's fight! He got up and confessed his guilt to Yan Zhi, and strode out of the curtain.

Yan Zhi looked at Ma Hao's departing back with a smile, and muttered: "He is brave and courageous, but he is a usable talent, but I don't know what the combat strength of his subordinates is." Brother, next, it's up to you. ”

The biggest difference between the Hange tribe and the Hu tribe is that there is a circle of rammed earth enclosures made of more than one person high around the tent, and there are also guard towers around it, and the troops, livestock, vehicles, and property live in the middle of it, which has a certain defensive power, which can effectively prevent theft and robbery.

At this moment, except for the Han people who could not rush back for a while because the grazing was too far away, the nearby people who cut grass and herded sheep have driven their cattle and sheep into the stable. On the sentry towers, there were already people with bows and knives on guard, and behind the earthen fence, the Han people who could hold sticks and draw bows and arrows were also armed and guarded. Among them, there are many weak people, the old man Muji, the silversmith Yu De, the bookkeeper Tao Liang, the horse servant Asu, and the petite and weak figure of Nian Nu......

Thousands of pairs of eyes, on the flat grassland outside the earthen enclosure, the horse warrior rode a tall horse, wearing an iron scarf, wearing vermilion leather armor, and the armor was decorated with small scaly iron plates; The leopard bow was hung on the left side of the saddle, and two ring-headed knives and two short axes were inserted in the leather bag on the right back side of the saddle, and four large sacks were hung on each side of the saddle, with a full eighty arrows.

In front of him, there were three hundred Hango cavalrymen in full gear, all with solemn expressions and resolute faces.

"The moment we've been waiting for has come!" Ma Han took out a feather arrow from the sack, raised his straight arm, and looked around the left and right, "After two months of hard training, hard work, and trials, it is finally time to test the results." Don't think that we have defeated the seven Hunu tribes before, and the cavalry of our Hange tribe is the number one person on both sides of this wet water. Wrong! Fighting a bunch of miscellaneous herdsmen is nothing at all, and what you have to face today is the real opponent! I am glad to see that you are not afraid, but what I need to know is whether you have the determination to defeat the enemy! ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

The shouts of dozens of militants such as Tang Nu and Wu Chai were fierce, but most of the Hango cavalry, especially the Congcai, were also raising their arms and shouting, but their momentum was weak and their determination was obviously insufficient.

Ma Han used the feather arrow in his hand to pass the Han people in the wall, took a deep breath, and shouted angrily: "I just want to tell you that you can die in this battle, but you must not lose!" If you die in battle, the Hango will survive, and your parents, sisters, relatives, friends, and even beloved women will continue to live - to live as a dignified person! But if he loses, he will go back to the way he was, and he may not even have a chance to go back to the past. Are you willing to fight to the death, or are you willing to be slaves? ”

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

This time, no one hesitated. At first, it was the Hange cavalry who was shouting, but later even the Han people in the walled wall joined in, and thousands of people roared in unison, the sound shook in all directions, and the fighting spirit was surging, urging Hu Cao to be killed.

Yan Zhi stood in front of the tent with his hands in his hands, looking into the distance, amazed. How did this small tribe of rabble fugitives have such a strong will to fight? This horse is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

"Tang Nu led a hundred cavalry to guard the wall, and before I came back, you were the commander of the Hango Walled City. The other 200 Hango rode with me to meet the enemy. Ma Han raised the feather arrow in his hand, looked around, pinched his thumb, and the shaft of the arrow clicked and broke, and the sound was like a golden stone cracking the sky, "Kill Hu-"

"Kill Hu - Kill Hu - Kill Hu - "
