Chapter 130 The Huns and Horse Thieves

Subutz looked at Liu He and smiled bitterly, "There are many reasons! In the past, our tribe lived on the far northern grassland. After Tan Shihuai conquered us, everyone moved to Danhan Mountain. Soon, my father led his troops to attack the Han Han, and was defeated and captured, and there was no news. The tribe was therefore excluded and forced to move to the border to live. Survival on the border is very difficult, and you know the lieutenant, but no one is willing to help us. After my father came back, he always wanted to move the tribe to the hinterland of the great man within the Great Wall. He secretly asked people several times to find several prefects of Shanggu, and his request for relocation was rejected. My father never forgot this until his death! This time the governor and the prefect took the initiative to propose that as long as I help the Han, our tribe would be allowed to move to the near Sanggan River and choose any place. So I agreed."

Liu He looked at him blankly and said worriedly: "Are you sure you can move the tribe's population to a safe distance of tens of thousands of people to the near Sanggan River?"

Subutz shook his head and said firmly: "It is man-made that there must be a way.

Liu He looked at him admiringly: "If you want to help, just say it."

Subutz was moved to stand up and wanted to thank Liu He. Liu He immediately reached out to stop him.

"Tell me about your plan with Tuoba Rui, how can we cooperate?"

"Can you call Tuoba Hu?" asked Subutz.

On the eighth day, early in the morning, Liu He summoned the generals to the tent.

"Does your lord treat us to breakfast?" Guan Yu asked with a smile.

"Breakfast is a must-have! But I want to say one thing." Liu He said while smiling and asked everyone to sit down.

"You guys can eat and listen to me."

When Liu He finished speaking, the big tent was silent - the sound of Liu He drinking porridge alone was clearly heard.

"You all have to cooperate well in the whole thing. You can't fail! You can't make any mistakes!"

"I have already mentioned the interests. You and I are as close as brothers. If you are brothers, you should be loyal and work together. Although we do not share any wealth and honor at present, we can still share our hardships."

There was a burst of laughter in the big tent.

There were many Huns living in Dai County, and the ethnic scattered situations were very common. They mainly lived in tribes, there were no fixed concentrated residential areas, no extremely threatening large tribes, and no large leaders who responded to each other. Although this situation was conducive to the management of local governments, it led to a problem, that is, there were many horse thieves in Dai County, more than any place, and extremely rampant.

After June, the horse thieves in Dai County suddenly disappeared. Usually in the mountains and on the grasslands, the domineering horse bandits of all sizes were like air and disappeared without a trace - because all horse thieves were summoned by the largest horse gang in Dai County, the leader of the Iron Horse Gang, and the Huns Hulin, Huns.

More than 3,000 horse thieves gathered in the valley, and everyone received a generous gift. They were told that they were invited by Chief Murong You of the Xianbei Mulang Tribe to go to Taogu Forest to do a deal, and then they would receive a generous gift after the matter was completed.

"What business?" The Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Han people gathered together, and the people were crowded with people, and everyone asked each other curiously.

The little coach of Mulang Tribe, Murong Jing, led a thousand iron cavalry, suddenly appeared in Xiaotaogou. Hu Lin did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly called his deputy Tie Tuo out of the valley to greet him.

"Call Hu Lin to see me." Murong Jing narrowed his eyes, and with a arrogant expression, he pointed at Tie Tuo's nose and said loudly.

Macheng is a border county in Dai County. It is located on the west bank of Qiushui River and is the first barrier to resist foreign invasions. Its geographical location is very important.

On the ninth day, Liu He led his troops into the Macheng County, Daijun. He looked at the endless lush forest in front of him, and couldn't help but stop the horse and exclaim sincerely.

"What a great place! Is this the Taogu Forest?" Liu He pointed ahead and asked loudly.

Lu Dingjun, who was following behind, immediately said, "Yes! If you go around this forest, you need to walk thirty miles to reach Macheng. But if you pass through the forest, you can see Macheng as long as you walk another six miles."

"Everyone goes through this forest, except for the businessmen. Those who do business are afraid that their goods will be robbed by horse thieves, so they would rather take a detour." Lu Chuanyun then followed and added.

Liu He nodded: "What's the road there?"

"A dozen horses walked side by side, and they didn't feel crowded." Lu Chuanyun said.

The troops entered the forest one after another. Although the road in the forest was bumpy, it was very wide. After being trimmed by many people, there was no even a stump on the road. The trees on both sides of the road were towering into the sky and blocking the sun. The sun shone through the dense branches and leaves, leaving countless mottled shadows on the green grass. The forest was full of shrubs, and various plants and flowers were everywhere. Birds and small animals were frightened and ran around. Due to the lack of light all year round, the forest was filled with an unpleasant dampness and rotten air.

The road in the forest is about six or seven miles long. Everyone walks around and sees it and comes to the end without realizing it.

After leaving the forest, Liu He suddenly felt his eyes lit up - inside and outside the forest are two completely different worlds.

One is a quiet and elegant moonlit night, and the other is a brilliant day in the sun. At the edge of these two worlds, Liu He had an indescribable feeling. He thought of life and death, pain and happiness.

At this moment, Liu He felt the uneasiness of his mount. Pan Feng looked around alertly, then flew off the horse, lying all over, and listening carefully.

Suddenly he jumped up from the ground and roared with all his strength: "Sneak attack! The enemy's sneak attack!!!"

Murong Jing looked at the chaotic team and rushed out in a swarm, shouting wildly, completely disorganized! He couldn't see any array formation.

He stared at Hu Lin beside him and roared angrily: "Are your people all a group of idiots? The large troops of Tuoba and Han people are still in the forest. If you don't obey the orders, what do you want to do if you attack them without taking any commands?"

Hu Lin had a dark face, and didn't even bother him. He said coldly: "If you say that my person is an idiot, I will take someone away and let you, idiot, die."

Murong Jing shouted violently, and pulled out the battle knife with a "swish". The guards on both sides shouted, holding weapons and making moves, and they were about to fight. Both sides were tense and at the right time.

Hulin was in his thirties and was a Hun. He had been a horse bandit with his tribe since he was a child. He was cruel and unruly and unruly, and was very famous in the northern border.

He stopped his subordinates' impulse, pointed at Murong Jing's nose and said contemptuously: "If it weren't for Murong You's sake, I'd peeled you today."

Then he stopped paying attention to Murong Jing, who was angry and looked purple, and rushed his horse to chase his team.

"Little handsome..."

"The enemy has just left the forest, and the large troops of the Tuoba and Han people are still in the forest. This group of horse thieves can't help but attack in advance, which not only exposes the team, but also ruins our major affairs. The chief is really confused! How can he cooperate with this group of idiots?" Murong Jing was angry and still shouted loudly.

"Xiaoshuai, what should we do?" his subordinate asked anxiously.

"Order the troops to advance quickly along the edge of the forest! No? Just chase the forest and kill all the Tuoba people."

Liu He led Zhang Fei, Lu Chuanyun and a thousand White Deer Tribe cavalry to launch a charge formation in geese, and faced the whistling enemy like lightning.

Nearly three thousand horse bandits rushed over with great momentum. The sound of horse hooves was deafening, and the loud rumbling sound resounded across the edge of the forest. Murong Jing's cavalry suddenly passed the horse bandit brigade, and they shot like a sharp long arrow along the flank, shooting towards the Han army's waist and ribs.

Liu He yelled: "Turn left! Turn left to north..."

"The left wing changed to the front! Leave the battlefield immediately! Leave the battlefield..."

The sound of the horn suddenly rang out, and the low and shrill sound immediately overshadowed the roar of the galloping horses and clearly reached the ears of every soldier.

The Hu people have grown up on horseback since childhood, and have been constantly receiving cavalry training and warfare since childhood. Their stable psychological qualities, skillful horse control skills and absolute obedience are really beyond the reach of the Han cavalry.

Liu He looked at the cavalry soldiers of the Bailu Tribe, and was in a state of fear and orderly following the command of the horn of the horn, galloping freely on the battlefield, and was at ease. He was very envious - if he wanted the Han cavalry to reach this level, it would be difficult to do without long-term training. When would he have such an iron cavalry?

The sudden turn of the Han army left without fighting, which greatly stimulated the enemy who attacked them. The messy horse bandits thought that more of their people had scared away the Han people, and they all shouted excitedly and chased them wildly.

Murong Jing's purpose was not to attack and kill the Han soldiers, but to kill the Tuoba people - the prisoners escorted by the Han army.
