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

The ending of the battle of Xiaozhishan shattered the glasses, and in just a few days, it spread all over Mobei like wings. This is really rare in the ancient environment where communication basically relied on roaring.

In fact, the news could spread all over Mobei so quickly, and it really relied on the roar - relying on the help of the Yan brothers to roar.

On the day of the end of the battle, Yan Rou, who saw the ferocity of the Hange cavalry, immediately made up his mind to strengthen the relationship with the Hange tribe, so the brothers did their best to show Ma Han and the Hange tribe their appeal and connections in Mobei.

The Yan brothers first reported the battle to the captain of the Han court, and then reported the results of the battle to the three counties of Karasuma and the three Xianbei tooth tents, and also sent ten groups of messengers to go deep into the grass of Mobei to publicize the matter to all tribes, not only shocking the Mobei tribes, but also surprising the Hannu of many tribes. The direct consequence is that on the Mobei grassland, there are streams of absconding undercurrents everywhere.

That's what Mahan wants.

In addition to acting as volunteer propagandists, the Yan brothers also generously donated 10,000 catties of pig iron, 50 hus of salt, and 300 hubars of corn to the Han Ge Ministry. At the same time, he promised to submit a request to the Captain of the Karasuma Shogunate to participate in the city on behalf of the Hange Division.

Of course, Ma Han didn't ask for these things in vain, he handed over some of the captured Karasuma people to the Yan brothers, and asked them to sell them to Wuyan, the king of Khanlu. Comparatively speaking, these captives were enough to consolidate the status and energy of the Yan brothers in the eyes of the aliens, and their political role was far from being comparable to that of mere materials. From this point of view, the Yan brothers also earned.

Seven days later, Yan Zhi, who had just returned from Ningxian County (now Wanquan County, Hebei), where the Captain of the Karasuma Captain's Mansion was located, brought back a piece of news, Xing Ju, the Captain of the Guardian Karasuma, and urged Ma Han to go to Ningcheng to discuss matters.

Captain Gokarasuma is in charge of Karasuma's own clan or disputes with foreign clans, and the Hange Department and the Khanlu Wangbu fought in Xiaozhishan, which is exactly the scope of Captain Gokarasuma's duties. The scale of this battle was not large, the opposing sides combined, the total number was less than 1,000, but the casualties were heavy: 500 Karasuma cavalry, including 50 Karasuma elite cavalry, killed on the spot or seriously wounded and died, amounted to more than 360 people, more than 100 people were captured, and only Puffou led more than 10 horsemen to escape. This is definitely a heavy loss for the Wuyan Division, which has only more than 800 falls, more than 50,000 troops, and no more than 5,000 cavalry, and the weakest strength in Karasuma among the three counties.

On the Mobei grassland, the various tribes attacked each other, and there were very few battles of more than a thousand people, even if it was a battle of several thousand people, in terms of the combat style of the nomads, when the victory and defeat were finally divided, less than one of ten people was really killed. Now in a small battle of a few hundred people, most of them were killed, and it was the side with fewer men and horses who killed the side with nearly twice as many men, and it was also the work of a new tribe of fugitive slaves...... Imagine how Captain Gokarsuma could ignore it?

The day after receiving the news, Ma Han arranged all kinds of matters and led Wu Chai and other twenty horsemen to go on the road with the Yan brothers. The remaining 300 Hange cavalry (in the battle of Xiaozhi Mountain, nearly 30 dead and wounded) were all left to protect the headquarters. Although the Karasuma people had just experienced a crushing defeat and were unlikely to raise an army to retaliate immediately, they also had to prevent King Khan Lu from being angry and playing his cards out of common sense.

From Hangezhai to Ningxian, about 300 miles, according to the normal horse, two to three days can be reached. Due to his concern for the Han Ge Department, Ma Han planned to go back quickly, and hurried all the way, but he arrived in Ning County at dusk the next day. Due to the fact that there were Yan brothers and more than ten followers in their entourage, for the sake of secrecy, before leaving, Ma Han ordered to put away the stirrups and step on the stirrups instead. As a result, the legs clamped the horse's belly for a long time, the muscles were tense, the legs were sore, and when he arrived in Ningxian, he was exhausted, and even the strong body of the horse was a little unbearable.

Ning County is one of the eight counties under the rule of Shanggu County, and since the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has been used as the residence of the captain of the Karasuma school. The whole county is not large, with a population of only 30,000, which sounds pitiful. In fact, in the late Han Dynasty, the population of Ning County was still as much as 50,000 or 60,000, but in the fourth year of Hanzhong Ping (187 years), Zhang Chun, the prime minister of Zhongshan, Zhang Ju, the Taishan Taishou, and Qiu Liju, the leader of Karasuma, rebelled, killed the previous captain of Karasuma, looted Ning County, and killed the border people, resulting in a sharp decline in population.

The captain of the Gokarasuma is very different, comparable to the county Taishou, they are all high-ranking officials of 2,000 stones, but the army under his command is not much, only two Simas, that is, the cavalry Sima and the infantry Sima, who command hundreds of cavalry and thousands of foot soldiers respectively. Of course, it is impossible for a mere three or four thousand cavalry and infantry to suppress the unruly Hu people such as Karasuma and Xianbei, but the captain of the Karasuma Captain can not only suppress the Hu people, but also have the power to recruit the cavalry of Karasuma and Xianbei to serve in war. This qiē does not rely on a mere captain to protect Karasuma, but on the Han Empire behind it.

The Han Empire is strong, and the captain of the Karasuma is a bull fork; The Han Empire was weak, and Captain Gokarasuma was soft, and even his own personal safety was in question. The previous Gokaramaru Captain Kei Thick is a clear example, but what about this GoKarasuma Captain?

It was with such worries that Xing Ju, the captain of the Karasuma School, who had been in office for five years and was worried every day, learned that a new tribe composed of Han fugitive slaves had risen 300 miles away, and he repelled the powerful Xianbei Gandhi tribe with 300 strong cavalry, and defeated the 500 strong cavalry of Wuyan, the king of Karasuma Khan Lu in Beiping, and beat Pufflu to flee alone. Such a great achievement was actually created by a group of fugitive slaves led by a young Han man named Ma Han. Xing Ju was shocked and overjoyed, such a strong and domineering clan, God really helped me. It happened that Yan Zhi came to report the news, and Xing Ju immediately entrusted him to send a message and asked Ma Han to come to the Captain's Mansion to discuss matters.

Outside the east gate of Ning County at dusk, a group of people were waiting in the shade of the trees on the right side of the official road. The leader of this group was a young man with a weak crown, with his hair tied and his hair tied, his contours were tough, and the corners of his mouth always had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were very sharp. He stood in front of the crowd with his hands in his hands, his tall body motionless, as if tireless. The long wind rolled up the cyan coat, and the sound of hunting added a bit of elegance to him.

A twenty-five or sixteen-year-old man behind the young man whispered apologetically: "Guorang, for my brother, this time I recommended you to Captain Xing to engage in history, which is completely in response to Captain Xing's requisitions, but I didn't expect that the history of the expedition was actually for this ......."

The young man raised his hand to stop the man's apology, turned around and said, "Brother Mingda recommended it to Xing Jun, but it is too late to be grateful, how can you blame the elder brother?" Brother Mingda was too worried. ”

Brother Na Mingda hurriedly said: "The national envoy can't see it yet, Captain Xing asked you to take me and others to meet this person, what he meant was ......"

As soon as he said this, he heard someone shouting: "It's coming, it's finally here!" ”

In the twilight afterglow, Baishan (the remnant branch of the Yanshan Mountain Range) is dizzy, red clouds are surging in the sky, and on the distant horizon, the silhouette of a team of vigorous horsemen is reflecting the sunset in their backs, galloping.

The handsome man of the Hange tribe has arrived.
