Chapter 174 [The request of the floor class]
(Thanks to the Alliance for its continued support! Thank you Zhao Wuxiu 2014, Dream Capital, Xiao Liangzi., ufgw)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the afternoon, the west gate of Bailang City was opened, and Ma Han led Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Wu Zhui and Sanbai Wolf Knights, followed the Wuwan people and galloped into Bailang Valley.
The generals of Bailang City were not idle either. Zhao Yun led three hundred white wolf cavalry to monitor the Wuwan cavalry into the Bailang Valley; Le Jin returned to the Bailang Camp and led the infantry to guard the camp; Tian Yu was responsible for the Bailang City warning, while Lu Dai and Tangnu led hundreds of cavalry to Xuanshui to monitor the Youzhou army on the south bank.
The reason why Ma Han made this decision was due to the last urgent message he received. No one would have thought of the sender - Wuman Zuoguli Wang Luban!
This is a letter brought by Lou Ban’s confidant. The content of the letter is only one sentence: Please be sure to stop Tadun from greeting the bride.
Lou Ban actually wanted to stop Tadun from greeting the bride and destroy the alliance between Wuwan and Yuan in Liucheng! Has he been hit by medicine? Or is there any conspiracy?
But Ma Han is not surprising at all. The internal struggle between the Wuwan people in Liucheng is no longer news. In the past two years of the rise of Bailang City, it has been adjacent to Liucheng, but has not been attacked by Liucheng. There are three reasons: First, the Wuwan people are afraid of Ma Han. As long as each tribe hears, it will basically not respond to the call; second, the Lou Ban firmly opposes it. With his huge influence among the Wuwan people, as long as he does not give up for a day, Tadun cannot launch an effective attack on Bailang City; third, Tadun himself is not sure. The scene of Ma Han killing Bai at the foot of Xiaozhishan shocked him too much.
Based on the above reasons, in the past two years, although Bailang City and Liucheng are only three hundred miles apart, there are occasional frictions, but no major conflict has occurred.
Why are the two men, Tadun and the second-in-command of the Lou Ban, so inconsistent with each other? In fact, just think about the sensitive identities of these two people, you will know that the source of internal struggle has been laid from the day when Wuwan Wang Qiu Liju died.
Lou Ban, Qiu Li, the only legal heir, but because of his young age, he could only hold the position of King Zuo Guli; Tadun and Qiu Li, the son, temporarily took the position of King Wuhuan on his younger brother Lou Ban. In other words, when Lou Ban was eighteen years old, Tadun had to return to the government to Lou Ban and give up the throne.
Tadun has long been in front of the kings of Wuhuan, and he vowed to keep his promise, but since ancient times, it has never been heard that those who are superior are willing to give up their power and automatically give up their throne. Once the sweetness of power is tasted, even a foolish man will not want to give up, let alone a powerful and ambitious Wuhuan master who claims to be talented and ambitious.
But the problem is that there are some things that cannot be justified - Lou Ban is over 18 years old, and in three months, Tadun will announce his arrears at the annual Longcheng Conference. This time, the alliance with Yuan Shao will be held by Tadun. Even if he gives up, Lou Ban will not get any of these benefits and interests. In this way, Tadun can use these benefits to control more tribes... Lou Ban will definitely destroy them as long as it is not a political idiot.
Obviously, Lou Ban is not. Or, there are people around him who are not. Not only that, Lou Ban and his advisers can also think of requests...or use Ma Han to stop Tadun from greeting the bride. It is impossible to say that the calculation is very accurate - because Ma Han also does not want to see Tadun benefit. This is not in the interests of Bailang City.
Ma Han was just worried that taking action would arouse public outrage among the people of the Uranus, but now Lou Ban completely eliminates this possibility and delivers this magnificent support to him.
Since that's the case, then what else is there to worry about? It's okay to just serve as a knife for Lou's class. It can be regarded as a reward for his two-year reward for being a shield for himself.
When Ma Han was halfway through, he was meeting a messenger sent by Hiraoka Suli, which brought him the most concerned question: what kind of team Yuan Shao sent.
In the messenger's narration, Ma Han finally figured out that Yuan Shao sent out a team of people under the banner of sending off brides, but in fact it was a team of imperial edicts and alliances. This can be seen more clearly from the identity level of the sending off brides and the guard leader.
The Jizhou sent a bride envoy to Jizhou was engaged in Qianzhao in the Jizhou administration, and he was also an old acquaintance of Ma Han. It should be said that Yuan Shao sent this person as a special envoy to form an alliance with the Wuwan people, but he really did not choose the wrong person. Qianzhao was proficient in Hu language, knew a lot of knowledge about Wuwan customs and style, and once led the Wuwan Tuqi for Yuan Shao as a military general. It was most suitable to send this person as an envoy to discuss alliance with Tadun.
The escort general was Han Juzi, the cavalry commander. This man was a subordinate of General Fenwei Chunyu Qiong. During the Jieqiao Battle, he was just a military marquis. After several years of hard work, he also fought with a cavalry commander, which was considered to be a success.
There were more than 500 people in the bride-sending team, more than 80 chariots, including 200 servants, servants, and 300 soldiers. There were 100 cavalry and soldiers, and all armored, shielded, saddles and tools were all exquisite; 200 stairs, without armor, swords, spears, bows and arrows were all equipped.
In such a hurry, Suli's information was quite detailed, but he just missed an important figure - who is the bride?
The Xianbei messenger said that he did not know the details and only vaguely heard that he seemed to be the daughter of Yuan Shao.
The clan daughter, the daughter of the uncle and brother of the same clan, is equivalent to Yuan Shao's niece. Of course, this niece is also related to relatives. Some are nieces and some are cousins, but it doesn't matter whether they are relatives or dears. What's important is that she represents a posture of the Yuan family. As long as the marriage is complete, Yuan Shao will have a strong arm in the north and can form a front and back attack on Gongsun Zan. This is also the reason why Gongsun Zan urgently dispatched elite cavalry and even sent his son to intercept them personally.
"Yuan Shao sent his parents to the army, Gongsun Xun Baima Yicheng, and the Wuwan Tuqi who had just arrived, hehe, it's so lively now." Ma Han's face was full of playful smile.
Pei Yuanshao added: "We are there."
Zhou Cang also said: "Is this just called the mantis to catch cicadas? We're behind?"
Ma Han laughed loudly: "Yes, there are three preys, we'll be behind."
Only Wu Zhui scratched his head and said in confusion: "It seems that this is not what he said..."
...
It was the third morning of the third day of the horse man and the three hundred wolf riders, and he was not in a hurry anyway. As Zhou Cang said, "We are in the back", be calm and be the last hunter.
The Ma Han came at the right time. As soon as he came out of the mouth of the White Wolf Valley, what was revealed in front of him was a strange situation of confrontation between the three parties and watching on both sides.
Three parties confronted each other: Jizhou sends off the family troops, Youzhou Gongsun Xunsai Baima Yicong, and Liucheng Wuwan Yatang Cavalry Guard.
Onlookers from both sides: Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan in Bailang City totaled eight hundred white wolf fierce cavalry; and 500 Xianbei cavalry in Pinggang Suli.
As soon as Ma Han appeared, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan immediately greeted him. In this way, three White Wolf City troops gathered together, more than a thousand cavalry, becoming the most powerful among the five forces.
At this time, a group of Xianbei cavalry came to protect Suli, and from afar, Suli shouted: "It's really not a good sign that this happened at the doorstep of his home just as the New Year arrived."
One of the leaders of the Eastern Xianbei is a guy about thirty years old, with a slightly thin face and a pair of eyes flashing with a shrewd look, but his face is very bad at this moment.
The two met and hugged each other immediately. They seemed quite intimate.
Ma Han smiled and said, "How about you? Can the king expel him?"
Suli smiled bitterly: "Expel? But I still have to provide them with felt, butterflies, drinking water, forage, cattle and sheep, and even bowstring arrows..."
Ma Han also laughed. He knew that Suli was telling the truth. With Suli's strength, neither of these three parties could afford to offend.
Needless to say, the Wuwan people, before the Mahan occupied the White Wolf City, the overlord of Liaoxi was Liucheng Wuwan. Basically, all the Hu tribes in western Liaoxi. Whether the Wuwan people or Xianbei people surrendered to Liucheng. Now that there is a White Wolf City that can compete with it, the Hu tribes in western Liaoxi have a new choice. Some of them are turning to the White Wolf City, with the Xianbei in the eastern part of the world. However, after years of accumulation of power, Suli dared not offend Wuwan from Liucheng.
Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is not something that little Suli can compete with, so naturally he cannot offend. It seems that only Yuan Shao of Jizhou has been far away, but in the past two years, the people of Jizhou have defeated the Youzhou people. Their power is so strong that even the people of Youzhou people dare not offend Suli. How dare they be rude to the people of Jizhou? As a result, they can only sell well like grandsons in the cracks. Except for not giving troops, they can give whatever they want.
After Ma Han and Suli met in a hurry, they made an appointment to join Hiraoka Castle in the evening for a detailed discussion, and then said goodbye to each other.
Ma Han rushed towards Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan on the hillside, and asked the two about the situation in the past two days. By complementing each other, Ma Han basically clarified the formation of this three-party confrontation.
When Xiahou Lan monitored Gongsun Xu from the White Wolf Valley Road, she confirmed that Gongsun Xu had no abnormal intentions. When he was about to turn around, the people of Jizhou appeared in sight. Gongsun Xu did not say anything and immediately launched an attack on the people of Jizhou.
There were few people in Jizhou, but fortunately, Qian Zhao and Han Juzi were both people who had been through a long battle. They first used cavalry to restrain Baima Yicong, and then infantry surrounded more than 80 chariots, and pointed spears were placed between chariots to resist cavalry. Infantrymen, the servants hid behind the chariots, holding crossbows and spears to resist. This prevented Gongsun Xu from attacking several consecutive rounds of fierce attacks. However, the people in Jizhou had too few troops and were far less elite. In addition, there were too many traitors in the chariot formation, and these people cried and made trouble, causing a lot of chaos.
Just when the people of Jizhou were about to stand it, the savior appeared and the Wuwan people came. This new force shot and killed three or forty white horses as soon as it came up. The situation reversed, and the Youzhou people turned attack into defense, and confronted the people of Jizhou and Wuwan people. This situation lasted for a day and a night.
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "After the Battle of the Realm Bridge, Baima Yi has never been the original elite of the straits..."
In history, the White Horse Yicong was defeated by the first-row death warrior and never recovered. Although it was saved by the appearance of the Mars in this time and space, it was still severely damaged. Many of the White Horse Yicong who were later added had no original elite veterans. The worst thing is that an elite military soul was defeated and dispersed, it was not effectively restored, and its combat power plummeted and dropped sharply. It was okay to fight the Jizhou people who had more attacks and fewer than 100 cavalry, but once they faced the Wuwan Jingqi, it would not work...
Just as Zhao Yun sighed before he could stop, several fast horses ran out from behind the three-sided formation and rushed towards the Bailang Camp base.
After a while, the White Wolf Fierce Cavalry warriors reported one after another.
"Report to the city guard, Jizhou will ask the city guard to go to our own camp for a lecture."
"Report to the city guard, Youzhou Gongsun School Captain asked the city guard to go to our own camp to discuss it."
"Report to the city guard, the people of Wuhuan asked the city guard to go to our own formation for a briefing."
