Chapter 36

After Zhang Liao destroyed the four Xianbei tribes, he could no longer continue to fight.

It’s not that he is lazy and does not greed for fighting horses, cattle and sheep, but that he is unable to reach the level of strength.

The infantry who followed him had become a coachman, escorting the materials he had picked up to the blockage, and he could not transport the benefits back if he continued to fight.

This time, he advanced to the Xianbei tribe to show his courage, just to strengthen his strength by war horses and other supplies, and did not have the intention of being loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Liao had to admit his selfishness, and he was proud of it.

He had his own ambitions and ambitions. Besides, he was purely perfunctory to be loyal to the Han Dynasty. No matter whether he could deceive others or not, he should do more to speak such a loyal attitude to gain the greatest benefit for himself.

When Zhang Liao personally escorted the ox cart and slowly headed south, the speed was extremely slow.

"We went deep into the Xianbei tribe for nearly a hundred miles, but we were not discovered."

Zhang Qi felt very surprised. Even though the scout was disguised well, the destroyed tribe almost became a fate that was left without leaving any money.

However, there are interactions between tribes, or there are people who have gone to other tribes to walk around. After returning, they will always find the situation of their tribe. Until now, the Xianbei tribe still has not reacted, just as the destroyed tribe still exists, everything seems so peaceful.

"The Xianbei region is vast and its population is extremely sparse than that of Hanting prefectures and counties. This has led to the Xianbei people scattered in the vast territory and living by water and grass. Communication and movement between them rarely occur. Even if there are tribes with great friendship, it will take a long time to learn about the situation of another tribe from one tribe."

Zhang Liao was deeply moved by the inconvenience of transportation caused by the vast territory. Not to mention the barbaric Xianbei people, even though the post stations were everywhere in the Han prefectures and counties, the speed of the message transmission was still surprisingly slow.

In the next half-hour flight journey, if you are now rushing with your feet or riding a horse, the huge gap between them will make you feel tired if you think about it.

"There is another reason. I think the leaders of the Xianbei tribe are lazy, or they look down on the Han county soldiers at all, and do not think that the Han soldiers have the courage to attack them. This gives us an excellent opportunity to make a fortune among the tribes."

Zhang Qi was very shocked by the amount of gains this time, and was also very happy.

"Since the two emperors Huanling, there have been only a few achievements in military affairs. Instead, they watched the Xianbei plunder again and again. After each rebellion and looting, the Southern Xiongnu attached to him accepted the invitation from the Han Dynasty. This went on and over again, fattening up the sleeping enemies beside him, and not only became increasingly weak, but became darker."

When Zhang Liao thought that this situation was still developing in a bad direction, he could only sigh.

He was proud of being born as a Han Chinese, and at the same time, he was in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty and was extremely angry at the greed and stupidity of the son.

The eunuchs were in power, and the party and corruption were rampant. They were disappointed with the court and had no respect for the emperor. They lived in seclusion in groups one by one, either relying on mountains and rivers to cultivate their sentiments regardless of the survival of the outside world, or reading behind closed doors, writing books and biography to record this dark moment in words.

This has become the norm. Take Guo Ze, the magistrate of Mayi County, as an example, as a semi-secret state. Although he is the magistrate of a county, he still criticizes Shangguan without paying attention and seeking his position, and only benefiting the people of a county with the idea of ​​seeking his position.

Even if Guo Ze's position as the county magistrate was removed, he would not have any nostalgia. Instead, he would be light and start his study life again.

For Guo Ze, the position of a county magistrate, was a high position that could not be obtained even if he wanted for three lifetimes.

For example, if Zhang Huan, one of the Sanming in Liangzhou who had not been teaching books to avoid the troubles in the court, he would probably have been trapped in party disputes, and could not bear the humiliation in prison and could only die if he drank poison.

The scout galloped quickly and ran to Zhang Liao's horse and replied: "A little over ten miles ahead, more than thirty Han warriors were chased by more than 300 Xianbei Hu cavalry."

"Han Warrior? Are they county soldiers or others?" Zhang Qi looked cold and was extremely dissatisfied with the news of his scouts.

"The Han men were all wearing leather armor, like border troops, and like a group of rangers." The scout looked extremely bitter and could only report uncertainly.

Zhang Liao had no choice but to leave a team to drive the capture and slow down, and he led the Santun cavalry and whip.

Looking from a distance, I could only vaguely see more than 30 Han warriors running in front, trying hard to increase their horse speed while shooting arrows backwards to block the pursuit of the Xianbei Huqi.

Among them, a Han warrior wearing half-armor was extremely strong. The bow and arrow in his hand were like a deadly weapon. Every arrow shot through the chest or face of the Xianbei Hu Qi.

"How is that man's archery?" Zhang Liao asked Cao Xing loudly, and his heart was uncontrollably excited. He was sure that the warrior in half-armor was not only the leader of this group of martial artists, but also a brave warrior.

Cao Xing shook his long hair that was blown away by the wind, drove the horse to keep up with Zhang Liao's speed, and shouted helplessly: "It looks good from a distance. If it comes to the level of my archery skills, it is impossible to compare now."

Zhang Liao and others were not fast and had not reached the sprint stage yet. Even so, their voices should not be too low when talking. Otherwise, it would be difficult to transmit their voices to the other party's ears in the noisy neighing of war horses and the noise of horse hooves trampling on the ground.

At this time, the armored warrior saw Zhang Liao and others who suddenly appeared. If he wanted to relieve his pressure, he could only lead the Xianbei Huqi to the east.

Unfortunately, if you want to detour, there is no big mountain to stop chasing the enemy and cannot do this. At this moment, Zhang Liao and others were on the left back of the armored warrior. The Hu cavalry behind them chased them in a half-moon shape, and they were about to surround them. If they detoured to the left at this time, they would only be submerged among the Xianbei Hu cavalry and died.

"I'll hold on, our reinforcements are here." The armored warrior shouted at the surroundings with confidence.

"Brother Han, that group of cavalry is extremely brave, and he is full of fine iron armor. Could it be that this is the elite soldiers of the court? I haven't heard of the great Han marching towards the Xianbei, nor is the frontier general who has the courage to march towards the Xianbei."

A warrior with a feather arrow inserted on his left shoulder suppressed his envy of the fine iron armor and shouted at the armored warrior.

A warrior on the other side just shot an arrow and shouted at Warrior Jia: "Brother Han, will those brave cavalry really save us? If the soldiers from the court are the ones, I'm afraid that we are the rangers who are not dead. Once we are all defeated, it will be the time when those cavalry get the bargain."

"I will definitely come to save us, otherwise I wouldn't be so stupid that I'm exposed. Look, the Xianbei Huqi has already divided his troops to deal with those guys."
