A few days later, Fan Mingyou came to Shuofang, because he quietly left Beijing to do business, and did not make a big fuss, and the light car Jian Cong entered the Taishou Mansion. Ren Xuan didn't dare to slack off, and cleaned up a secluded courtyard for him to live in.

Fan Mingyou, as a general of Duliao, once led tens of thousands of elite horsemen to attack the Xiongnu in the west and returned with a great victory. This time, the wind and dust went to the side plug, which evoked the feelings of the past. After a day of rest, he insisted on going out of the customs and landing on the Great Wall to express his feelings.

At the end of summer, although the woods on the hillside along the way are thick, the weather is sultry, and the group is out of breath as they climb the beacon platform on the top of the mountain, already sweating.

Fan Mingyou wiped the sweat on his face, drank another sip of water, and a cool breeze blew on the mountain, and he was suddenly relaxed. Looking at Yin Mountain in the north, the lush and towering steep mountains are like thousands of horses galloping. Looking to the east, you can see the vast grassland at a glance. The Yellow River, like a golden ribbon, flows through the wide valley and gradually disappears into the endless wasteland.

Fan Mingyou pointed to the west and said: "There is the vast desert, when we waited for the five generals to lead 150,000 cavalry, the troops were divided into five ways to attack the Xiongnu in the north, to relieve the difficulties of Wusun and Cheshi, and then build the Great Wall, build barriers, set up Fengsui, Xingtuntian, and Suining in the northwest. ”

Thinking of the pride of the past, Fan Mingyou sighed for a long time. After getting off the Great Wall, I met a few Hun herdsmen hurrying by with cattle and sheep, and the group didn't care.

Back in the Taishou Mansion, Fan Mingyou was still unsatisfied, sat down cross-legged, and chattered about his career as a horse back then, and Ren Xuan and others flattered him on the side, and he was even more proud.

Ren Xuan was so happy that he said it, and he said that he was tired, and finally mentioned Chun Yuji.

Ren Xuan said: "Chun Yuji has been imprisoned in the government office, and the captain and chief doctor of the border army have been urging him to ask about this matter and ask him to be handed over to the border army for disposal. Especially the old doctor Hua Yanshou, who went to the government office and went to prison every day. I don't care what you do with Chun Yu, but I can't let him die in Shuofang. ”

Fan Mingyou thought for a while and said, "Have you ever copied his belongings?" ”

"It's all gone, and there's nothing left, some clothes, books, medical books, and a long sword. But there's one painting that's quite strange. ”

"Keep your stuff safe, I'm going to check it carefully." Fan Mingyou thought to himself, he didn't know that the talisman could be among them, if he could find the customs clearance talisman, then the Huo family would be calm.

Ren Xuan nodded in agreement.

Fan Mingyou slapped his thighs with both hands, as if he had made a decision, and said, "Okay, I'll take him back to Chang'an, it's a big deal to detain him with Tingwei's judgment." This kind of thing is not a problem for the Huo family. You finish the case, go to the government office to prepare the case, and write 'Serious crimes and doubtful cases, the court captain will decide', but don't let people let him go." By the way, what did you charge him? ”

Ren Xuan was silent, just looked at the Huo Mansion messenger. The Huo Fu messenger said: "Fornicating with foreign vassals, stealing and selling forbidden things." Then he said: "Sanqi was found on him, this is a forbidden item in the border gate." ”

Fan Mingyou pondered for a long time, then hesitated and said, "This charge is a bit reluctant. The Monan Xiongnu Shan Yu has been a vassal to the imperial court, and the imperial court allows the opening of the border market, salt, cloth, grain, etc. can be bought and sold, as long as it is not a weapon, it does not matter whether it is fornicating with foreign vassals or stealing and selling prohibited goods. Can't you be charged with some other crime? ”

"What other crime can there be, rebellion? That's not even more evidence. The Huo Fu messenger muttered. After speaking, seeing that Fan Mingyou was displeased, he hurriedly explained: "Chun Yuji is a border military medical officer after all, and someone will definitely come to intercede after he is arrested, if it is other ordinary crimes, it is not enough to block people's mouths, and there is no way to take him away." This was taken care of by Feng Jun before I came. ”

Fan Mingyou said: "Now that the border is peaceful, this crime cannot withstand interrogation." ”

The Huo Mansion messenger disagreed: "Feng Jun still has follow-up means, which can make Chun Yu sit on a few charges." He also said in a hurry: "If there is a conflict between the side plugs, then it will be an unforgivable crime to fornicate with foreign vassals and steal and sell forbidden things." ”

Fan Mingyou didn't seem to understand what he meant, but he didn't want to delve into it, so he just said that he was tired, and walked towards the bedroom.

Seeing this, Ren Xuan and the messengers of Huofu also resigned.

After climbing the mountain for a day and drinking again, Fan Minh You lay in a daze.

In the dead of night, he suddenly woke up from his sleep, held on to his desk, shook his head, and sobered himself up. At this time, the obscene face of the Huofu messenger appeared in front of him, and his mouth was still open and talking. "Could it be that in order to sit on the charge of a few crimes, Feng Zi has to provoke a border war?"

With this thought, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. He raised his sleeve and wiped it, thinking in his heart, Feng Zidu was too bold and reckless. But after thinking about it again, how can it be said that the war will be fought here.

Fan Mingyou's mind was chaotic, and he fell asleep again after thinking about it.

·

The right king of the Xiongnu in Monan received a messenger sent by the Shuofang county government in his big tent, saying that the court knew that the Xiongnu tribe had not much grain in stock, and winter was coming, so the court ordered Shuofang to lose 12,000 grains and distribute them in batches to help Monan survive the winter.

King Youxian was overjoyed, thanked the Son of Heaven for his kindness, and then agreed on the place and time of transporting grain.

He was anxious to get grain, and he had the idea of greedy merit, so he didn't inform Mo Nandan Yu Longting, so he actively prepared to get the manpower, chariots and horses to get grain, and the young and middle-aged people of the tribe scattered on the grassland for grazing quickly gathered.

On this day, King Youxian led thousands of Hun cavalry, driving hundreds of ox carts, to fetch grain. When he arrived at Jilusai, he was stopped by the Han army stationed there.

When the captain of the Han army saw a large group of Huns surrounding him, he was very puzzled, so he sent a military marquis with hundreds of cavalry out to inquire.

When King Youxian saw that the Han army had come out, he raised his hand, and the Hun cavalry stopped in unison. The Han army also stopped, and the two sides were separated by dozens of zhang.

The Right Virtuous King motioned for the commander to come over and talk.

The commander of the Huns drove his horse forward and shouted: "We are here to get food, you can send it." ”

The Han army watched the group of Hun cavalry vigilantly, but the Hun cavalry did not make any moves, and the queue was also loose, talking and laughing with each other.

The military marquis was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "What kind of food?" ”

"The winter food given to us by the imperial court."

"I haven't heard of it." The marquis didn't understand even more, and looked back at the captain standing on the walls of the fortress.

At this time, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the cavalry of the Han army, heading straight at the Right Xian King.

The Right Virtuous King was not on guard, and when the cold arrow came in front of him, he hurriedly dodged sideways, but he had been shot in the shoulder, screamed, shook his body a few times, and almost fell off his horse.

Seeing this, the marquis of the Han army was also stunned, and turned around and shouted: "Whoever puts the arrow, who puts the arrow." ”

King Youxian covered his shoulders, gritted his teeth and glared at the Han army one by one, and quickly retreated under the escort of his entourage.

The commander of the Xiongnu was furious, drew his waist knife and pointed it at the Han army, shouting: "You lie to us, kill." The Hun cavalry waved their swords and drove their horses over.

The Han army knew that it was invincible, so it turned around and ran. The lieutenant ordered the archers of the fortress walls to quickly release their arrows to cover the retreat of the Han army.

The Hun cavalry did not think about attacking the city, at this time the right Xian king was injured, and brought a lot of ox carts, and it was difficult to move, so he rushed and retreated. But leave a message to say that this is not over.

The right virtuous king happily took the men and horses to get food, but not only did he not get the food, but he was also shot with an arrow, which made him feel humiliated. Upon returning to the camp, he vowed to take revenge on those who had humiliated him.

The next day, the Huns really came again, this time with a vigorous all-out attack. The Han army resisted stubbornly for a while, and was finally outnumbered, and Jilusai fell.

When the defenders of the Great Wall heard the news, they lit a beacon fire to call the police.
