Chapter Twenty-Seven: [Hard Doesn't Come Soft]

("Zhao Wuxian 2014" must be seen in every chapter, thank you.) )

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

On both sides of the Raoleshui River (now the Shalamulun River in Inner Mongolia), it is located in the remaining veins of the Great Xing'an Mountains, with abundant water and grass, lush mountains and forests, and vast plains, which is a rare pasture. The Xianbei people, to be precise, are the tooth tents of the central Xianbei, which are located here.

Xianbei and Karasuma came out of Donghu together, and after Donghu was destroyed by the Xiongnu, both ethnic groups were merged into the Xiongnu. During the Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of continuous attacks by the Han court, the Xiongnu collapsed and were divided into two parts: the Southern and Northern Xiongnu. The Northern Xiongnu fled to Central Asia, and the Southern Xiongnu were attached to it and became the gatekeeper of the western frontier of the Han Dynasty. It's just that this dog wolf nature has not disappeared, the fierce flame still exists, Han Qiang was an honest loyal dog, the Han family declined, immediately showed its fangs, repeatedly violated the border counties, and even once invaded Chang'an, and finally became one of the culprits of the five chaos in China.

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" contains this: "(The Xiongnu declined) Ran Karasuma and Xianbei were slightly stronger, and because of the rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, China was troubled, and it was not to be dissuaded, so it was good at the land of the south of the Han Desert, the violent cities, and the people were killed, and the north was still trapped by it." ”

After the Northern Xiongnu fled westward, there was a power vacuum in Mobei, and Xianbei and Karasuma, who were originally slaves of the Huns, rose rapidly.

Xianbei "according to Xianbei Mountain, with the mountain as the number", "Xianbei" means Rui beast or divine beast, which comes from the tribe has a kind of extinct beast horned cattle. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" contains, "Horn End" is a kind of unicorn beast in ancient legends, Xianbei people named it, and take the horn of the horn end of the cow, with the horn as the bow, commonly known as the horn end of the bow, and the bow is called the famous bow of Mobei.

In the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, Xianbei took advantage of the situation to occupy the Mongolian steppe, annexed more than 100,000 Xiongnu species, and began to become strong. During the time of Emperor Huan, Tanshihuai unified the Xianbei tribes, and divided the land into three: the east of the right Beiping is the east, the right Beiping to the upper valley is the middle, and the west of the upper valley is the west. The three departments are managed by adults, and they are directly under the sandalwood acacia.

Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty (181 years), Xianbei died in Tanshi Huai, and his son and Lian succeeded him, and Lian had no talent, sex and greed, the law was uneven, and half of the people were traitors. In the last years of Emperor Ling, He Lian was shot dead when he was in Beidi County. His son Qian Man is young, and his brother is the head of the leader. Later, Jian Man grew up, fought with the leader for the country, and the people were separated. The head of the head died, the younger brother Budu rooted, the Xianbei to the west of the era county has rebelled, and the central and eastern Xianbei to the east of the Dai County has also been divided into three power groups, and its adults are Budu root, and its subordinates are distributed in Taiyuan, Yanmen and other places in Bingzhou; the second is Kebineng, whose subordinates are distributed in Daijun, Shanggu and other places in Youzhou; The third is Xianbei Suli, Mijia and Que Ji in the east, and the people are distributed in Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang outside Youzhou.

The Hange Department established by Ma Han was between Yuyang and Shanggu, and the 300 cavalry under the account of Fuluo Han of the Gandhi Department that he defeated were the elite of Xianbei in the central region. Fu Luo Han is the brother of the western Xianbei lord Budugen. At this time, the account to which Fu Luohan belonged was in alliance with Kebineng and was the main ally of Central Xianbei. Therefore, Ma Han's three shocking blows on the north bank of the water caused a great impact on the Kebi Neng Division, far beyond his imagination.

At dusk, dozens of horsemen in felt hats and leather jackets rushed from afar in the field. Everywhere he passed, he kept greeting the Xianbei cavalry and the herdsmen who were shepherding sheep and horses, and he was extremely familiar. When this group of knights galloped close to the huge tent of heavily guarded and hunting, the curtain was lifted, and three men wearing white mink hats, hats with white feathers, plain single jackets, and beast belt hooks around their waists, and long knives with cowhide sheaths hanging from the hooks, greeted with a smile on their faces.

The knights dismounted one after another, and the first two young men in their early twenties strode forward and took off their hats and saluted the three men one by one: "Yan Rou and Yan Zhi pay a visit to Lord Kebineng, Lord Fu Luohan, oh, and the little king of the mud." ”

One of the three men is also in his early twenties, with extremely thick eyebrows, protruding eyes, a round face like a plate, a beard like a needle, and a fat and thick body, which is quite powerful. This person is none other than the Xianbei Lord in the middle of the country.

The person on the left side of Kebineng, about thirty years and fifty or six, is slightly taller, has rough facial features, long hands and short feet, and his appearance is quite different, this person is the Lord of the Gandhi Department Fu Luohan. And the person behind Fu Luohan is his eldest son, who was single-handedly expelled by Ma Han and fled to the mud.

Kebineng laughed: "After three months, it's really gratifying to see Yan's Zhongkun again!" "Kobi can laugh roughly, and give people a very bold feeling, of course, his enemies would never think so.

Yan Rou was about twenty-six or seven years old, with a very tall figure, a narrow face, eyes as thin as a knife, and a short mustache under his chin, quite lean, and his complexion was black and red and rough because of his perennial travel, but there was a bookish air rarely seen between his eyebrows. This is not surprising, because Yan Rou was not a Xianbei person, but a Han person from Guangyang, Youzhou (now Fangshan, Beijing). Yan Rou was taken captive by the Xianbei people when he was a teenager, and with his shrewdness and slight literacy, he was quite easy to read and write, and he was able to deceive the Xianbei people who worshiped witches and believed in gods, and gradually gained a certain prestige among the Xianbei people and Karasuma people. For more than ten years, as a Han person, he has been circling in the three Xianbei and the three counties of Karasuma, from the adults of each department to the ordinary herdsmen, no one is disrespectful, but it is also an outlier.

Yan Zhi is three years younger than Yan Rou, and he looks like a brother, although he does not have the ups and downs of his brother, but he was also taken out of the Sai experience by his brother who returned from outside the Saiwai when he was a teenager. In the past five or six years, he has also made great achievements, and now he is his brother's right-hand man.

Taking advantage of their own advantages, the Yan brothers have been engaged in border trade, exporting salt, tea, cloth, grain, pottery, etc., which are most needed by the Hu people, and at the same time buying furs, pearls, and sheep and camels for sale. Of course, the Yan brothers could not be content with just selling these legal but low-profit things, and the bulk of their real profits came from smuggling iron, gold and copper, horses, and slaves. Relying on these huge profits, he quickly made a fortune, not only had a fortune of 10,000 yuan, but also formed a family private army dominated by the Hu people, with as many as 500 people and horses, and it was a big force wherever he put it.

This time, when the two brothers were trading with the Karasuma people in western Liaoxi, they received a summons from the envoy of Kobineng and hurried over, knowing that something important must be done. When the two brothers entered the tooth tent, they learned from the mouth of the mud that they were on the bank of the wet water, and they duel with the handsome horses of the Han Ge tribe, and the three battles were all north, and they were defeated for thousands of miles, and the whole tribe has not recovered until now, which is unbelievable for a while.

After half a ring, Yan Rou said in a voice like a toothache: "This Han Ge Division, I also heard about it when I went north this time, it is believed that it is composed of a group of Han fugitive slaves, led by a Han man named Ma Han, who burned the Karasuma Bone Force Division. Before I came, I heard that the king of Khanlu was very angry, and he was recruiting his men to kill him. I originally wanted to use the majesty of King Khanlu's army to exterminate a group of fugitive slaves, which was as easy as eating meat. However, listening to what the little king said, the bravery of this horse is really rare, and if the king of Khan Lu does not send fine horses, he may not be able to please ah! ”

When Yan Rou said this, she was facing the mud and keenly noticed that this young man, who had always been conceited and brave, had a shocking appearance. Whenever Yan Rou said the name "Ma Han", she always shook unconsciously, and at the same time, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly. The fault is not that Yan Rou is used to pretending to be a ghost, and is good at observing faces, ordinary people can't find it. Only in this way, Yan Rou was even more surprised, and she was very interested in this handsome man of the Han Ge Department who killed out of thin air.

When the Yan brothers had almost digested the news, Kebineng explained the reason for inviting the two of them to come: "Within a month, the Han Ge tribe has attacked our tents everywhere, captured our people, and plundered my property. Kebi can be elected as an adult by his subordinates, how can he watch his subordinates suffer and remain unmoved? I wanted to raise an army to fight for him, but if he wished to return my captives and their goods, and to be commanded by me, I would not be prosecuted, and I would allow him to build a tent south of the waters. ”

The Yan brothers glanced at each other, and finally understood that Kebineng wanted to borrow their brothers' Han identity and Pingwang to act as lobbyists, and wanted to pull this group of new people with extraordinary potential into their own forces.

Yan Rou's mind is shrewd, still above Ke Bineng, and countless thoughts are instantly flipped in her mind: Han people, fugitive slaves, and unknown strength. But this leader killed the three great warriors of the Gandhi tribe with his own strength, and he was definitely a rare warrior. He alone is worth a lot of effort to fight for.

Thinking of this, Yan Rou had already made up her mind, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency has an order, dare Rou disobey your orders?" ”

Kebineng laughed, and was very pleased: "There is a virtuous Zhongkun out of the horse, why worry about the Han Ge Department not attached?" ”
