Chapter 13 Swift Scout
After leaving Tang County, Zhongshan, Jizhou, he officially entered the boundary of Youzhou - Zhuo County.
"Bo Yu, what is the Xianbei Murong tribe doing behind the scenes to rebel against Youzhou?" Liu He said slowly as he rode his horse.
"In the grassland, the Xianbei people obeyed the command of the Eastern Commander Murong Chief Murong Chief Murong, and Kuitou, and there were many people who listened to the Xianbei King and Lian. Everything the Murong tribe did for the Xianbei was not comparable to that of the Kuitou. A few years ago, the loss of people's hearts was that they murdered Chief Murong Chief Murong, causing many rebels and the country's power to be greatly reduced. Now the Murong tribe regained power is a nightmare for neighboring countries." Xu Rong analyzed the situation outside the border for Liu He.
Liu He recalled the ancient history he learned in high school in his previous life: The Xianbei people were nomadic peoples that rose on the Mongolian Plateau after the Xiongnu. They emerged in the Daxinganling Mountains, originated from the Donghu people, and were distributed in northern China. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Donghu people were defeated by the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu and divided into two divisions. The Wuhuan Mountain and the Xianbei Mountain were respectively given the name of the mountain, forming the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and were enslaved by the Xiongnu. Therefore, the customs and habits of the Xianbei people are similar to those of the Wuhuan and the Xiongnu.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the Han army defeated the Xiongnu and moved Wuhuan to Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong five counties. The Xianbei also began to go south to the former Wuhuan Raole River (now the Xilamulun River).
During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tan Shihuai unified the Xianbei tribes and covered all the former Xiongnu places. They divided the land into three divisions: from east of Youbeiping to Liaodong, and followed Fuyu, and more than 20 towns in the east of Yubeiping to Shanggu as the eastern part, from west of Youbeiping to Shanggu as the central part, from west of Shanggu to Dunhuang, and more than 20 towns in Wusun as the western part. Each of them was appointed as the leader of the emperor. After unification, the Xianbei invaded the border of the Eastern Han Dynasty for years.
In the sixth year of Xiping, Emperor Ling of Han ordered Xia Yu, the commander of Wuhuan, to defeat the Xianbei Central Army General Tian Yan, and the Xiongnu Central Army General Zang Min, each led more than 10,000 cavalrymen, and went out of the frontier from Gaoliu (now Yanggao, Shanxi), Yunzhong County (now northeast of Tokto, Inner Mongolia), and Yanmen County (now northwest of Dai County, Shanxi), and attacked the Xianbei in three directions. The Han army went out of the frontier for more than 2,000 miles, and the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai ordered the three tribes of the east, middle and west to lead the troops to fight separately, defeating the Han army.
After Tan Shihuai's death, the Xianbei split, the Xianbei in the west rebelled, and the southern desert split into three groups from east of Yunzhong: one is the Budugen Group, with tens of thousands of people, including Yunzhong and Yanmen areas, the second is the Kebineng Group, which is distributed in Daijun, Shanggu and other places. The third is the Xianbei in the east, the Murong tribe, Yuwen tribe, and Duan tribe, which were successively formed, scattered in western Liaoning, outside the Youbeiping and Yuyang Pass, and was finally led by the Murong tribe.
Just as Liu He led his troops to get closer and closer to Lu Long, Lu Long's Guan Wei Cheng Pu was a little anxious. The weather was getting colder, but the enemy did not make any noise. He looked worried and sighed repeatedly - Why hasn't the scout station chief Han Dang come back to spy on military information?
Let’s talk about Han Dang lying on a small hill at this moment, which is one hundred miles away from Lulongsai. The locals call this mountain Yaozi Mountain, and the Luan River crossing the mountain. Recently, it is difficult for scouts to get close to Changyugouzi and are always intercepted and killed by their scouts.
Han Dang had tried to approach from different directions with his friends three times, but they were driven back and had more than a dozen brothers. He insisted on cutting off the back and blocking the enemy to cover everyone's retreat. The soldiers in Scout Village were willing to go on missions with Han Dang because it was not easy to die safer. He was particularly capable of killing people, and killing people could be as fierce as an eagle. Especially the elusive four-stone bow, which came out with one arrow, was almost hit by two arrows.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Dang came up with an idea: enter Luanhe from the south of Lulongsai and then go up the river to Yaozi Mountain. Twenty miles from Yaozi Mountain is the rear of Changyu Gouzi, and it should be possible to enter Gouzi from here. He discussed with his subordinates, and the troops were divided into two groups. The captain Qingfeng led 70 people to go out normally to lure the enemy in front; Han Dang led 30 people along the Luanhe River to Yaozi Mountain.
They left in the middle of the night, and the group arrived at Yaozi Mountain at noon. The war horses were all left by the river and watched by two soldiers. Everyone was very tired after walking for more than ten miles. Han Dang called all four of them together while everyone was resting.
"Let's discuss who will go with me?" Han Dang said.
Several people looked at each other without saying a word, and Han Dang looked at Huan Xuan.
Huan Xuan hurriedly said, "I'll take a team."
Six people lay on the top of the mountain and looked towards the valley below. Below was Changyugouzi. The valley was densely filled with big trees and nothing could be seen.
"The Wuhuan people are probably at the east end of the valley. We can't see it when we are lying on the west end of the valley." A thin soldier said softly. His name is Wei Qiang. He used to be a hunter. There are three soldiers in Huan Xuan's team who are hunters. It is hard and dangerous to be a scout, and ordinary people cannot do it. Letting the hunter serve as a scout can greatly shorten the training time and experience.
Han Dang waved to a strong man with a strong neck and a big head.
The big man crawled over.
"I'll go down. Lebin, put the rope down. Huan Xuan, Wei Qiang, Gao Ling, Tang He, you four are here and don't run around, wait for me to come back."
Han Dang grabbed the rope and ran down the mountain wall like running. The eyes of several people on the top of the mountain were straightened.
Waiting was an anxious thing. Several people crawled there and remained motionless, and they were so nervous that they were dying. Tang He, the new recruit, had a cold sweat on his forehead.
Suddenly, Tang He was shocked by some sound. He suddenly looked up and saw the shouts of horses neighing and the low and long horns of the horns alarming the entire forest. Many figures appeared in the woods at the bottom of the valley and rushed towards him - it must be Han Dang who was seen.
Five people quickly grabbed the rope and were about to drag Han Dang up at any time. At this time, Le Bin felt the rope on his hand shaking, and hurriedly looked up and pulled, knowing that Han Dang was about to climb up with force. He quickly winked at the four people behind him, and then the four of them worked hard together, pulling Han Dang on the mountain wall like pulling a fiber.
Han Dang was covered in blood, and even his hair was covered in loose face turned red. The leather armor on his body was gone, and his clothes were torn into pieces, probably scraped by branches and shrubs.
He shouted to the five hands: "Hurry up..."
While running, it was like a ghost behind. The five people thought that the pursuers were running faster than the rabbit.
After running for a while, Gao Ling couldn't do it anymore. He gasped and looked back, and found that there was no chasing behind him. So he slowed down and shouted breathlessly, "No one behind..."
After hearing this, the four people in the front looked back immediately - there were indeed no pursuers! There was not even a sound of birds.
Han Dang felt something was wrong while running, why did he stop breathing from behind? He turned his head and saw that his lungs were almost blown up! The five people stood behind, not only not running, but also sat on the ground and gasped heavily.
He turned around immediately, and Tang He was furious and said: "Stop... and rest... and there is no one behind..."
Han Dang kicked him hard in anger: "Run quickly. It only takes more than half an hour for the Wuhuan people to ride around the river. Do we know that we have to run twenty miles of mountain road in half an hour? Fast! If it slows down, we will be hacked to death by the river! Run quickly."
When several people heard this, they were about to explode. If the war horses placed by the river were stolen by the Wuwan people, it would be better to commit suicide! There would be no way to escape without a horse.
Several people seemed to be filled with anger, and suddenly became energetic and kept running with their heads down.
When Shi Chang Tie Tai saw Han Dang and the others running over in a mess, he immediately ordered the twenty-two soldiers lying in ambush nearby to retreat immediately.
"How is the governor?" Tie Tai asked up and asked.
"Hurry...run...the Wuhuan people...to the river...block...we are going! Run!" Han Dang kept running while talking breathlessly.
Tie Tai was shocked. Looking at Han Dang's appearance, he knew that he must have discovered it for the enemy or escaped with a bloody path. He then put his index finger in his mouth and whistled to the others. Everyone ran away immediately.
"Head! How many enemies are there in the valley?" Huan Xuan asked loudly beside Han Dang.
"Everything is there! The Xianbei people are there too. Tomorrow...the attack will be launched tomorrow."
Huan Xuan's face was extremely ugly: "There are still Xianbei people?"
Han Dang ignored him and ran desperately with his head down.
Just as they ran past the last mountain, they saw the Wuhuan cavalry flying in the distance, a large group of probably hundreds of cavalry.
The soldiers didn't want their superiors to urge them, so they had already increased their speed to the limit, and they were going down the mountain very quickly. Twenty-eight people rolled and climbed onto the horses, and immediately fought the horses with the two anxious soldiers who had been waiting.
