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

In the early morning of June, the air is hot and dry, and the Liucheng is filled with the smell of cows, horses and alpacas and the smell of livestock manure. Ma Han only stayed for one night, and he felt extremely unhappy, it was really hard to understand how these Karasuma nobles could stand it. Maybe it's really like the ancients said, "When you enter the abalone, you don't know its smell after a long time."

Under the guidance of a few Karasuma attendants, Ma Han led the way out of the city, and followed the surging crowd to the bottom of a high slope. But seeing that above the peak, the new Da Shan Yu Louban, under the escort of a group of armored horsemen, took off his hat and wrapped his head, wore a white robe, and wore a jade belt around his waist, facing the east, slowly bent down, fell on all fours, and worshiped the newborn sunrise.

Worshipping the sun and the moon is a common custom of different races in Mobei, which originated from the Huns, followed by Karasuma and Xianbei. The Han book contains "and only in the court out of the camp, the beginning of the sun, the evening worship the moon". Da Dan Yu wants to represent the people of the tribe to worship the sun every morning and the moon at night. Lou Ban's move is equivalent to announcing to all the Karasuma tribes that he will assume the responsibilities and obligations of Da Danyu, and of course, the power.

At the foot of the mountain, thousands of Karasuma people are scattered, crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, but silent, and they also bow to the east. Although the movements are uneven, the pure piety is admirable.

More than ten horses galloped in the distance, led by Su Li and his brother Cheng Lugui,

Suri laughed, "The biggest part of the celebration ceremony is going to be held today, and it's also my favorite part - the hunting. Brother Dragon, I'll want to see your 'Kunbtulu' later. Don't let some people down. ”

Ma Han smiled slightly: "I never disappoint people - whether it is an enemy or a friend. ”

"That's for the best. Hey, when I saw the smug face of the old chief of Uyana, I got angry. It is best for the dragon to keep an eye on him, and when he sees any prey appearing in front of him, he will strike first, so that the old chief will find nothing and be angry with him! Hahaha! Su Li seemed to be smiling, but there seemed to be something in his words.

Cheng Lu Gui also rode close to the front, when the two horses met. He said in a low voice: "We heard the rumors, some people seem to be unfavorable to Ma Jun, Ma Jun must be on guard against one or two." ”

Ma Han's expression did not move, nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Don't hunt beasts, change hunters?" Good, good. ”

Da Shan Yu ascended the throne, and a hunting ceremony was held as usual, and there were basically heads and faces to congratulate the guests. It's an honor to be invited.

In the early years of the Karasuma people, they drove away beasts on the prairie and coordinated hunting. Indeed, it can be called a hunt. But since moving to Liucheng, which is mountainous and has few lands, it is difficult to have such a vast plain, and can only go into the mountains to hunt like the Central Plains people, but the name of the hunt. It is still used today.

It is not only a hunt, but also a kind of bravery and heroism, regardless of the identity of the participants. Naturally, you can't bring too many servants, otherwise the prey will not be scared away early? Even if the prey can't escape, under the protection of the subordinates, how can you have a chance to make a move? Is this still called hunting? Watching the hunt is almost the same, which is completely contrary to the original intention of hunting.

As a rule, a large order should only bring 20 servants, and the number of guests should generally not exceed this number.

Twenty servants, mountains and forests with complex terrain, and unknown and dangerous beasts...... What better environment could there be? Even if there is no reminder from the Sully brothers, Ma Han will not take it lightly, and if it is him, if he wants to be unfavorable to the enemy, he will not let go of this rare opportunity.

After the Suli brothers left, Ma Hu touched his chin and pondered for a while, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, if everyone saw his smile at this moment, they were afraid that they would be cold.

……

At the beginning of the hour, the horn sounded for a long time, and under the rolling hills, the horses' hooves were obtained, and thousands of horses ran to thunder, rolling up a faint smoke mixed with grass branches and broken leaves.

Light furry horses, flying eagles with bows, banners waving, and riding like clouds.

Louban, Mahan, Bang Dun, Nanlou, Suli, Cheng Lu Gui, Ji Ji, Sha Mo Khan, Fu Luo Han, Chu Gui Ni, Tho Luo Hou, Su Suyan, Wu Yan, Wang Ji, Gu Jin, Zuo Gu Duhou...... The leaders of all the tribes gathered and were about to enter the Great Black Mountain of the Nuruer Tiger Mountain Range, which was more than fifty miles north of Liucheng.

Liucheng has many mountains and few plains, belongs to the distribution of "seven mountains, one water and two fields", mountains, hills, Okagawa, and plains are staggered, the terrain is very complicated, for the Karasuma people who are half-pastoral, half-cultivated, it is really a poor mountain and bad water. Of course, if it is a good place, the Han Dynasty will not give it.

Nurul Tiger Mountain is actually the meaning of "backbone mountain" in Mongolian, in the Three Kingdoms era, there was no such name, but the name of the Great Black Mountain is there. This mountain is nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, the mountain is deep and dense, the people are inaccessible, and rare birds and beasts appear from time to time. Even after 2,000 years, it is the largest area of primitive secondary forest in Liaoning Province, known as the "Green Island of Western Liaoning", and it is conceivable how desolate and deep it would have been 2,000 years ago.

This is the preferred hunting place for the nobles of Liucheng Karasuma, hunting, hunting is the heartbeat, the mountains are not deep, the forests are not dense, the beasts are not fierce, and the line is not dangerous, so what else does it taste?

It is not only a hunt, but of course it is light, and it is better to hold a strong bow and arrows. From the floor class down, the chieftains of Zhuhu wore hats, wore left and left pleated clothes, left and right double bows, two large bags of quivers hung on both sides of the saddle, and other short soldiers such as knives and axes. Whether it is Karasuma or Xianbei, in the final analysis, they are all people who advocate bravery, and those who can become the leader of the clan must not only have bloodline, but also have bravery, and do not need to be the first warrior in the clan, at least they must be middle-class. And most of the Hu people who have a middle and upper level can shoot bows left and right, so they often hang two bows, not that these leaders show off, but they all have real skills.

Among the lightly armed hunters, Ma Hao's outfit was the most eye-popping - he actually wore bright light heavy armor, a silver helmet on his head, from top to bottom, his eyes and nose were exposed, and he was equipped with a BMW under his crotch to step on the black, which was really dazzling and majestic.

The Hu chieftains looked at each other, this outfit was majestic enough, and it was good to go to the battlefield, but it was used for hunting......

Ma Han saw the slightly puzzled eyes of Lou Ban and the others, and said lightly: "There are many fierce beasts in the mountains, be prepared." ”

Hearing these words in the ears of people with ghosts in their hearts, their hearts were full of joy, and their faces changed slightly.

Lou Ban laughed. He raised his arms high and said loudly: "As previously discussed, the army will camp here, and we will enter the mountain in four ways, each with a limit of twenty horses, and go out of the mountain before dusk, so as to take the prey and set the lead." ”

"Okay, that's it, I'll go!" He is young and eager to win. Steer your horse away first. The twenty servants who accompanied him drove their horses to the scene.

One by one, the Zhuhu chieftains also followed the established route, rode their horses and whipped their horses, and roared into the mountains.

After a pause, he turned his head and smiled at Ma Han: "Ma Jun, we'll see you in the mountains." ”

Ma Hanjian raised his eyebrows: "Of course, I won't see you or leave!" ”

"See you or not leave? Haha, interesting, interesting! He was stunned for a moment and burst out laughing. Whip the horse's buttocks fiercely, let go of the hooves. The hooves turned over like thunder, like a strong wind.

Ma Han was arranged on the third road, and he was accompanied by the leader of Yanmen Karasuma, Zuo Dadang Gujin.

Ma Han and Gu Jin have not dealt with each other directly. However, during the Battle of Changshan, his subordinates Zhao Yun and Tai Shici raided the Nine Gates and severely damaged the Yanmen Karasuma who supported the Black Mountain Army. At the time, Gu Jin didn't notice anything wrong, but as time passed. finally understood that it was not Yuan Shao's department that inflicted heavy losses on him that day, but a Liaoxi Han army called the "White Wolf Army". This is also the origin of the resentment between the two sides.

Gu Jin was suspicious of all kinds of legends of Ma Han, and he had always had the heart to stretch out, but when he saw that the recognized number one warrior among the Karasuma people, Bunton, was extremely jealous of this person, so he didn't dare to make a mistake. Well, this time may be an opportunity.

Walking to the mountainside, there was a little accident, because of the rugged mountain road, the horse lost his front hooves from the horse, and the knight fell from the horse and injured his foot, so he had to go down the mountain by himself.

There was nothing to do all the way, until he was about to enter the dense forest, and Ma Han, accompanied by two servants, entered the forest to relieve himself. Gu Jin was not surprised, he had been relieved more than once along the way, but he snickered secretly: Tell you to show off, wearing such heavy armor, even Xiao Xie has to take a guard to remove the armor to be convenient.

A group of more than 40 people entered the dense forest, but they felt that it was dark in front of them, the heat was gone, the cool breeze was blowing, and the whole body was full of Tai. As far as the eye can see, the ancient trees are towering, the branches and leaves are like covers, and the blazing sunlight is almost completely blocked from the top of the treetops. The shadows of the trees are dark and deep, there is a dense air floating in the air, and from time to time there are unknown birds chirping in the ears, and occasionally there is the roar of fierce beasts. In such a place, the heart is not strong enough, there are not enough companions, and few people really dare to come in.

After entering the forest, Ma Han suddenly became very silent, basically did not talk to Gu Jin, nor did he raise his bow to shoot. Of course, also because there is no prey worth shooting.

Gujin and his Karasuma followers were very active, either exploring the way forward, or riding out to hunt. Perhaps because he was not deep in the forest, he got very little, except for a few pheasant hares, and the biggest harvest was only to shoot an elk.

The deeper they went, the more difficult the trail became, and the hunters had to dismount and proceed carefully.

At this time, a wolf rider quickly caught up with the Karasuma people, and said loudly in Hu language: "My lord told the big man that there were many people and beasts, and it was inconvenient to hunt, so he took his own hunt, so he took his leave." ”

Gu Jin was stunned, his eyes narrowed, and he glanced at the servant beside him, and the entourage quietly retreated, flashing into the dense forest. After a while, a long and short strange birdsong sounded deep in the forest.

Gu Jin laughed, turned back with a dry house, and said as he walked: "It's almost noon, it's better to roast and eat the prey before leaving." ”

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when more than a dozen Karasuma people walked over, it was a semi-encirclement that spread out in a fan shape.

Ma Han also gestured to the left and right, and nineteen wolf riders pressed the hilt of their swords from their hands, vigilantly facing the Karasuma people.

Just when the two sides were close to more than ten paces, the surprise attack took place - the direction, it was actually from the left and right sides!

Hundreds of people suddenly rushed out of the dense forest, all armed with knives and axes, and the sound of killing shook the sky. More than ten Hu people who rushed to the front threw the lasso together, and immediately tossed over the seven and eight wolves and rode the followers. As soon as he retracted his strength, he dragged the wolf rider over and held it down.

Gu Jin and the other Karasuma people also pulled out their swords and axes, and collided with Ma Han and the ten Hu people. The sword light and axe shadow, the flesh and blood flying, the muffled scream, endlessly.

The two sides were extremely short-lived, and they quickly separated. Everyone was panting, the wolves were hanging from one by one, and the two of them were seriously injured and stumbled on the ground, lying prone and motionless, obviously dead and alive. And there were also three people on Gujin's side, more than ten Karasuma people, and there was no one who was embarrassed.

"But that's it! But that's it! Hahaha! Gu Jin stretched out his crimson tongue, licked the blood that flowed from the cheeks that had been opened, stared at the two clear axe slash marks on the opposite Ma Hanming's light armor with an excited face, and laughed insolently, "What Kun Botulu, are you only good at archery?" ”

At this time, more than 100 Karasuma people and Xianbei people had surrounded the ten people of Ma Han, and the crowd was divided, and one person came out in line, which was Wang Ji, the right commander of the Tuli Department.

Wang Ji couldn't hide the ecstasy on his face, and he looked up to the sky and laughed proudly: "Ma Han, I advise you not to resist - I really hope that you will fight the trapped beasts, so that I can personally slaughter you, but it's a pity that King Zuogu Li won't let you." Lay down your arms, and you and your servants will be spared death. ”

Ma Han's chest rose and fell sharply, he was silent for a while, and then slammed the hundred refining knife in his hand into the ground, and said in a muffled voice: "Put down your weapons." ”

The nine wolf riders all showed shock and unwillingness, they had all been instilled in the Hango tribe with the idea that they would defend their lord to the death, but now they ...... But the lord has an order, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only throw down his weapon in grief and anger.

Wang Ji laughed: "That's right--Ma Han, Ma Han!" I can't imagine that you have ...... today" The laughter stopped abruptly, like a chicken suddenly pinched by the neck.

Ma Han tore off the tape of the helmet, supported the two pockets with both hands, and with a little force, took off the helmet, revealing his true face-

Yang Ji! This person turned out to be Yang Ji! It turned out that this was the true intention of Ma Han wearing heavy armor.

Yang Ji looked disdainful: "With the two of you Hu Chiefs and these hundred Hu slaves, you just want to catch the lord and dream about it." ”

Wang Ji and Gu Jin almost lost their breath, and roared like thunder: "What about the horse? Where is Ma Hu? The sound was like a wolf's howl, and it rolled far away among the mountains and forests.

Like the copper-faced man, Ma Han also played a golden cicada under his nose. Two hostile opponents, thousands of miles apart, actually used the same strategy. It's just that it's the same plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, the copper-faced man is to escape for his life, and the horse is to ask for his life! (To be continued......)
