CHAPTER XXIV

readx;?? What Mr. Ma didn't expect was that the nearly thirty-year-old young man who was rescued by him into his tent was actually Mao Dun, the eldest son of Tou Mandanyu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info[燃^ζ–‡^δΉ¦εΊ“][].. [>

For Mr. Ma, it seems that he should save this person, after all, it is a kind of fate to be able to meet in this place.

After Maudun recovered, he didn't say much, but used a kind of Central Plains etiquette he had heard to make an apprenticeship to Mr. Ma, and then said a sentence: "From today on, Mr. Ma is not only my savior, but also my Maudun's teacher, please wait for me to come back, I will make the teacher the most honorable person in this grassland." ”

Mao Dun left, but in Mr. Ma's heart at that time, this person's words were more of a joke.

......

Two years later, Mr. Ma was returning to his tent with a new hybrid wolfdog and a few hares hanging from the horse's legs.

But before he could bring the hares into his tent, there was a slight tremor on the ground.

Mr. Ma, who has lived on the grassland for decades, knows very well what caused this tremor. He didn't panic in the slightest, but waited calmly outside his tent.

......

Since his mother's death, Mr. Ma has been living alone, occasionally treating people in this place or receiving some people who can be considered fateful to come to this place.

Of course, Mr. Ma is not without trouble, but Mr. Ma's strength is very strong, because his mother Zhao Li is a strong swordsman herself, and she was even able to draw with Zhao Kuo, who was going all out, in the competition that year.

Who is Zhao Kuo? One of the four masters of Zhao Guo back then, he was ranked even above the old Lian Po and Lecheng, second only to the number one master of Zhao State, Yan Xing, the head of Zhao Mo.

Since Yan Xing himself was not a member of the military, it was not an exaggeration for Zhao Kuo to be called the first fierce general of Zhao at that time.

At that time, Zhao Li, as the daughter of the Li family, a powerful clan on behalf of the land, was able to fight Zhao Kuo for dozens of rounds, and after twenty moves, Zhao Kuo didn't have much to spare. It can be seen that Zhao Li's strength is indeed secretly admired by Zhao Kuo and even Yan Xing.

However, what Zhao Kuo didn't expect was that this person, who had to be called Miss Li at that time, actually fell in love with Zhao Kuo.

Adhering to the character of her grandmother, who was a tribal princess obtained by the head of the Li family in the Xiongnu back then, Miss Li's offensive made it difficult for Zhao Kuo to accept.

And so. has Mr. Ma's background.

Zhao Gao and Mr. Ma are half-brothers, and it is possible that they know each other's existence. But Zhao Gao has no news of Mr. Ma, and Mr. Ma is unwilling to return to the Central Plains, but plans to go with the flow for the rest of his life, and then die in a foreign land.

And Mr. Ma's strength may not be as good as his father Zhao Kuo, not to mention Zhao Gao, who is the first master of Great Qin, but the nearby Xiongnu tribes only have awe of Mr. Ma after seeing Mr. Ma's strength and dare not offend again.

The use of the Li family's swordsmanship is superb, also because he basically lives in the Xiongnu region. Archery is also quite good, even comparable to some Hun eagle archers, Mr. Li in this grassland area of life for decades, it can be said that the Hun tribes passing by and migrating know his existence, and dare not be too offended, even some medium-sized tribes, will be passing by. Give a few little lambs to Mr. Ma as gifts.

And some sick Huns in the vicinity of this place will also seek Mr. Ma for treatment.

This situation also made Mr. Ma's fame spread among some Xiongnu tribes.

Incidentally, Mr. Ma's name is Ma Sikuo, or Zhao Sikuo.

......

Ma Sikuo gently stroked the head of the hound he raised, soothing the other party's seemingly restless mood.

He watched as the black shadow of nearly a thousand knights gradually grew from small to large. He knew very well that these people would not come to him for trouble.

On the contrary, the image of Mao Dun, who was still a young man at the time, came to his mind.

He didn't know why he had such an idea, but one thing was clear, he had always had a certain confidence in his instincts.

Really. After the group of knights stopped more than 200 meters away from the tent, only a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a golden crown continued to move forward.

That's right, that's Maudun.

Mao Dun came to a place about ten meters away in front of Ma Sikuo, and reined in his mount, he looked at Ma Sikuo, who seemed to be getting older, quickly got off his BMW, and then bent over Ma Sikuo and hugged his fist, and said in a rather deep voice: "Mr. Ma, Mao Dun to fulfill his promise to Mr. and Changshengtian, you are now Mao Dun's teacher, and you also have the prestige that can be compared to orders alone." β€œ

Ma Sikuo didn't care much about such a thing, but what he didn't expect was that Mao Dun was far more than just doing these things.

After Maudun gestured to the knights behind him, a carriage decorated with luxury among the Huns was escorted by several knights.

Ma Sikuo watched quietly, he didn't know what Mao Dun was going to do, but he could feel that there would not be those gold, silver and jewels in this carriage.

As if to verify Ma Sikuo's idea, after a while, the carriage stopped behind Mao Dun, and under Mao Dun's signal, the Huns who drove gently opened the curtain of the carriage, and a Hun woman wearing a gorgeous costume appeared in front of Ma Sikuo.

Mao Dun said at this time: "Sir, this is the sister of Mao Dun's family, Mao Dun knows that he has always respected heroes, and in Mao Dun's heart, there is no one who is on the right side of Mr., so Mao Dun is presumptuous, and he is willing to marry Qin and Jin with this woman and Mr. ”

Ma Sikuo, who heard this, was a little unable to react, because in his heart, this woman was indeed quite beautiful, but he didn't expect that the other party would send his wife's sister over.

In the customs of the Huns, the identity of this woman is also considered to be the private property of Mao Dun, but Mao Dun gave this woman to him in this case, which is itself a sign of respect.

He really wanted to say, can he refuse?

But before Mao Dun could speak, he heard Mao Dun say a sentence: "Sir, General Zhao is a true hero, the Zhao family should not be cut off from the bloodline, Mr. can't bear the sin of the Zhao family cutting off the bloodline after thousands of years." Will it fall to the gentleman?"

Well, such a question touched the secret of Ma Sikuo's heart. Mao Dun knew his secret, Ma Sikuo didn't feel strange, but Ma Sikuo knew very well what the other party said, so he couldn't refute it at all.

So, this is also Ma Sikuo, who is nearly fifty years old. The reason why she gave birth to a child with this Hun girl.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Ma Sikuo looked at his wife and children and told the truth. He had a way to make the defenders of the Great Wall lose the initiative, but he was a native of the Central Plains, and he did not want people of his same race to be slaughtered by the Huns after breaking through.

He silently walked up to his wife, and then gently hugged her.

This Xiongnu woman has now listened to Ma Sikuo's words, after all, there is no language barrier between the two sides, Ma Sikuo has lived in the Xiongnu for so many years, and naturally knows some of the common languages of the Huns.

What he has to do now is to avoid his wife and children being bullied by others after his death. Otherwise, he would not have followed Maudun's side south at this time.

He said softly something that made the girl a little puzzled: "Perhaps, our family will also go back to the Central Plains to have a look." ”

The girl didn't know why her husband said this, she gently leaned her body against Ma Sikuo's side, her expression was very quiet......

......

At the same time, most of the reinforcements under Zhang Jiashi arrived in Yulin County. And Zhang Jiashi personally led 5,000 knights to the border of the Great Wall in the starry night.

In the area of the exit of the Great Wall that confronted the army under the command of Maudun. Wei Xiu led a large number of captains and lieutenants from Shangjun to meet Zhang Jiashi.

After Zhang Jiashi and his entourage dozens of knights entered the camp located about two kilometers behind the Great Wall, Yingxiu, who was waiting outside the camp gate, hugged his fists at Zhang Jiashi, who dismounted, and said: "The ministers of the county guard Wei Xiu, lead the county officials under his command, and meet the king!"

"Everyone, please. Lone urgently needs to know the situation on the front line now, please lead the way!"

Zhang Jiashi didn't pretend to be anything, but after helping these Shangjun officers and civil soldiers, he said this sentence directly.

Wei Xiu nodded, and after getting up from the ground, he turned around and said to the officer Wen Wu behind him: "Come with me at the rank of captain, and the others will continue to supervise the troops!"

"Whoa!"

......

In Wei Xiu's tent. Zhang Jiashi sat on the main seat and listened to Wei Xiu's report on the situation at the front. In Zhang Jiashi's heart, the current front-line situation made him feel very suspicious.

The fact that the Huns were waiting for his reinforcements to arrive was something that made him especially incredible. Because Zhang Jiashi himself had already made a preparation, after the loss of the Great Wall of Shangjun, he led his army to conduct a melee in Shangjun.

But the reality is that Maudun did not attack any section of the Great Wall of Shangjun. You know, Zhang Jiashi himself didn't think that if the Xiongnu sent more than 30,000 people to attack, what would be the effect of these Great Walls.

Because reinforcements from other regions were unable to support this kind of battle, which was difficult to balance.

Zhang Jiashi naturally would not say this doubt of his own, because this can also be said to be quite a morale-breaking idea.

In Zhang Jiashi's heart, whether Mao Dun did not grasp his opportunity, or planned to make some other arrangements, Zhang Jiashi could not say anything.

After knowing the general situation of the front line, Zhang Jiashi inquired about Wei Xiu's battlefield layout and some other details, and asked these officers to either rest or go to duty according to the original shift arrangement.

And under the guidance of Wei Xiu, he came to a camp tent that had just been built to rest.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

On the morning of February 25, 205 B.C., Zhang Jiashi personally climbed the gate tower of this exit gate of the Shangjun Great Wall.

Looking at the Hun tents stretching in the distance, Zhang Jiashi had a very helpless feeling.

If it really did get started, Zhang Jiashi would not be able to guarantee that his reinforcements and Wei Xiu's arrangement of a garrison to defend the Great Wall at this time would make the Huns pay a heavy price.

On the contrary, if the Huns took a multi-point breakthrough offensive to attack, Zhang Jiashi himself could not guarantee how long his army would be able to resist.

This is also one of the things that Zhang Jiashi is most worried about now.

However, while observing the situation of the Xiongnu camp, Zhang Jiashi did not expect that the falcon that he thought was a wild goshawk and was hovering in the sky was actually Mao Dun's pet.

......

Goshawk soon discovered the existence of Zhang Jiashi and others. It considered it necessary to inform his master of the situation.

Maudon soon learned from his falcon that there seemed to be a great man on the Great Wall. He couldn't help but look at the gate tower a few kilometers away. Then he looked back at Ma Sikuo: "Mr. is really a god, and the other party really appeared in that place." ”

Ma Sikuo naturally knew who the other party Mao Dun was talking about. He smiled slightly, and then looked at Maudun: "I don't know ...... Maudun"

"Bold! You Qin people actually dare to ...... Ah!!h

A leader of the Xiongnu tribe who did not know Ma Sikuo interrupted Ma Sikuo's speech by saying this sentence at such a time.

However, Mao Dun did not make a move, and the Hun Condor Archer, who was whipped by Mao Dun yesterday, drew his scimitar and cut off one of the opponent's arms.

Maudun didn't pay much attention to the situation, because the tribal leader was quickly dragged down by Maudun's personal guards.

Wait until this situation is over. Mao Dun continued to smile slightly: "Sir, you can go on, Mao Dun is thinking." There will be no more uninteresting people interrupting the teachings of the gentleman. ”

Maudun's words were more for the tribal leaders around him. Because Mao Dun himself knew that he had become Shan Yu, but there were many tribal leaders who were not convinced.

Ma Sikuo didn't care about such a situation, he continued: "I don't know, can Mao Dun be interested in communicating with that person in person? Now that the other party has arrived, it will be much more difficult for us to go south to attack Qindi. ”

"Sir's words are extreme! Someone, let some people who can speak the Central Plains speak be messengers!"

Maudun was quick to make arrangements. Some of the tribal leaders looked at each other with some hesitation, and one of them was an older tribal leader. Courage to say a word: "Shan Yu, what if the Qin people kill the people we sent?"

"The Qin people won't do this, because if that person is also there, the Qin people won't be so reckless!"

Mao Dun said his opinion disapprerovingly, but he quickly added: "If the Qin people really kill those messengers, we will send a few more people, the dead ones." His family gave him a hundred lambs and five horses!"

Since Mao Dun had said such a sentence, there was nothing the Hun tribal leaders could do to say anything more.

They don't want to be found a way to solve them at such a time.

......

Zhang Jiashi looked at the Hun envoys strangely, he did not let his officers and soldiers attack them.

In his heart, these envoys wanted to say something. and sin does not unto death.

Among these Huns on horseback, a young Hun man holding an envoy's staff said in a more respectful tone to Zhang Jiashi and the others at the head of the city: "We only hope to be able to negotiate with the honorable Qin State controllers, and the location is eight hundred meters in front of the two armies. I wonder if the Venerable Qin State Controller can agree to this?"

Although not many people could understand these Longxi dialects mixed with some thick accents, the personnel under Zhang Jiashi's command were very angry, and they were about to refute these Huns, but Zhang Jiashi stretched out his hand to stop them.

Zhang Jiashi thought for a while and thought that meeting Mao Dun was not a bad thing. That's a distance of 800 meters. It's a fairly safe distance for both sides.

Zhang Jiashi quickly whispered to Yu Yong: "Tell them that in half an hour, I will meet with Mao Dun." ”

Zhang Jiashi's words made Yu Yong and Li Zuoche, Wei Xiu and others who were beside him slightly stunned.

Wei Xiu even directly clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the Huns are cunning and untrustworthy, and the King cannot easily trust the other party and fall into danger." ”

Some people echoed Wei Xiu's words.

And Zhang Jiashi smiled slightly, and did not have the idea of punishing these subordinate martial artists who thought about him, but then looked at Li Zuoche, who was a military advisor: "Doctor Yushi, I don't know what you think?"

"Although the minister doesn't know why the king trusts the other party so much, since the king is sure to do this, the minister supports the king's idea!"

Li Zuoche said this sentence to Zhang Jiashi.

After Zhang Jiashi heard this, he nodded slightly: "In that case, okay, Lang Zhongling Yuyong, and Imperial Doctor Li Zuoche obey orders! Others, strengthen the defense of the Great Wall!"

"Whoa!"

The people who heard Zhang Jiashi's order directly hugged their fists at Zhang Jiashi and promised.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

In an hour or so, I saw Mao Dun slowly opening the door, and then through the goshawk's report, I knew that Zhang Jiashi was so courageous, and he actually took the other two people out of the customs.

He couldn't help laughing: "Ben Shan Yu still underestimated the heroes of the world! Since the other party is so courageous, I will naturally not fall behind! Sir, can you follow Mao Dun to meet that person?"

Ma Sikuo smiled slightly: "As I wish." ”

After hearing Ma Sikuo's reply, Mao Dun said to the young condor archer: "Lie Shu, you also go with Ben Danyu!"

"Yes, Shan Yu!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
