Chapter 111 [Encounter]

(Thank you, Zhao Wuxiu 2014, the glorious charter)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the ninth day of the ninth month, on the Double Ninth Festival, Ma Han left Bailang City and went to Xiangping, Liaodong to report his work...

Feiyan Ling has been officially established. Ma Yun-e is a cavalry general, Zhao Yingzi is a cavalry lieutenant, and all the fifty female knights of red scarf are included in Feiyan Ling. Fifty people were selected from the unmarried girls who were riding and shooting in the Hange tribe, forming Feiyan Ling 100 female cavalry. Ma Han personally served as the chief training officer, Xiahou Lan and Wu Zhui served as the auxiliary training officer, and conducted practical training on the newly released Feiyan Ling female soldiers.

However, given that Ma Han is about to go to Liaodong, the responsibility for this training will be temporarily handed over to Xiahou Lan and Wu Zhui.

Feiyan Ling was established, but the chief officer did not finalize it. Jack Ma stared at the riding seal that had just been created on the case and had a special metal smell for a long time, and finally brought it back to Ma Han, saying that he could not accept the appointment and must report to his father first and consider it after obtaining forgiveness.

It seems that Jack Ma is not too stupid. He knows that it is absolutely impossible to ask his father to agree, but at least he should report it first and let his father know that there is such a thing, and then consider how to avoid the most and convincing him.

Ma Han naturally agreed to let the cavalry guard Zhao Yingzi take charge of the training and formation work first. He learned from Niannu that the pair of beauties are now unfavorable and have a close relationship. They often practice with each other. They have endless whispers at night, and even sleep in the same room. Ma Yun-Te will not only not be dissatisfied, but will only be happy.

In fact, Ma Han knew what method to use to make Ma Teng agree to Ma Yuntu stay in White Wolf City, but the time is not yet ripe, and his strength, fame, and identity are not enough, so it is not time to use this method.

Because of the limited number of people in Ma Han, after careful consideration, he decided to only lead Zhou Cang, Wu Zhui and Fifty Wolf-Tail Flying Cavalry. In addition, the food and grass needed for the 50-man escorts to the horses, as well as various gifts, a total of ten horse-drawn carriages were put on the road.

At that time, Li Ji had hoped to go north with Ma Han, but that was last year. At that time, Bailang City was enemies on all sides, and the situation was in a difficult situation, so it was safer to go north with Ma Han. But after a year, Bailang City was no longer the same as before. It had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it was a strong army. It was a good general, and Ma Han would not cause trouble for the surrounding alien races. Who else dared to provoke the forces of Bailang City? Therefore, Li Ji was still the safest to stay in Bailang City.

He only brought fifty cavalry, which didn't seem to be many, but everyone in the entire White Wolf City knew that their city lord was a foe 0,000 Kunbotulu. If he could go safely, he would definitely return without any damage. From White Wolf City to Liaodong. The most common path was to follow the Bailang Water North Branch, follow the Mashou Mountain Road to Liucheng, and then turn to Yangle, the Liaoxi County Governor, and enter Changli, a vassal state of Liaodong. Then he passed through Liaodong Wuwu, dangerously, and finally arrived in Xiangping.

But after repeated comparisons, Ma Han decided to take another road: first follow Fengdashui to the west coast of Liaodong Bay, then go north along the coastline. Enter the migratory river of Liaodong vassal states, then head east for 300 miles to dangerous drowned, and finally arrive in Xiangping. This road is obviously shorter than the previous road. It shortens at least one-third of the journey, but there are also shortcomings, that is, the road is difficult to walk, and the places where it passes are sparsely populated.

Previously, Taishi Ci, Tian Yu and others also proposed to take a boat to Liaodong as fast as possible, and get ashore from Dashi, which can shorten the journey by half. However, Ma Han believed that he had to take a personal journey by land, both for investigation and for military purposes. He was the commander of the Liaodong cavalry and the lord of the Bailang City in western Liaoning, but he couldn't even see the western Liaoning and had never been to Liaodong. How could he be reasonable?

Only by wading through the sea and land can you know what you want.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Ma Han and his group of hundreds of people escorted ten large carts and said goodbye to everyone and set off officially.

...

On September 16th, a week after departure, Mahan had already traveled for 400 miles. Although the road was very difficult to walk, the mountains were deep and the forests were dense, and the roads were blocked. Fortunately, this area was under the usual jurisdiction of Wencheng County. When Mahan took Wencheng, he sent special personnel to survey the terrain and draw maps many times, and he had a good understanding of the paths, mountains, forests, and rivers in this area. Therefore, he could walk on the most correct and fastest road without any detour. Even so, he only walked six or seventy miles a day. After a week, he had not yet walked out of western Liaoning. There were still more than a hundred miles away from the first transit station and the vassal state of Liaodong.

As you see along the way, there are few people, both Han and Hu people. Think about it, if you are a county in western Liaoning, you will have a population of only 40,000 to 50,000, plus the non-resident black households, at most 70,000 to 80,000, most of them are distributed in several counties and around the city. How many people dare to live in other places where there are poor mountains and bad waters and wild animals are rampant? This is not the northern part of the world. Any place with water and grass is full of people.

As Ma Han walked along the way, he saw this scene and felt heavier. Western Liaoning was indeed not a suitable place for development. The road was not stable and it was difficult to communicate with merchants. There were many mountains and few land, limited arable land, and raising 5,000 soldiers was the limit. Whether it was Bailang City or Liaoxi County, they were just a springboard rather than a foundation. So, where would he and his tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians jump to? Where was their foundation?

The leader is not so easy to be a leader. For Ma Han, in the next year, he must point out the direction of development for his group. Next year is 194 AD. The heroes of the Three Kingdoms entered the most fierce and quarrels. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Sun Ce... These well-known heroes will lay their foundations in this year or find the direction of struggle.

In the overall situation of the world, whoever makes the move first will take the lead. One step is fast, one step is ahead; one step is slow, one step is chased step by step.

Time is endless. Ma Han, you must be faster than them - Ma Han clenched his fists and cheered himself up.

Just as Ma Han was thinking about a plan to break the deadlock, ten whistle riders five miles away were released in front of him, and suddenly ran back halfway, and he neighed, panting and reporting: "Report to the city guard, there are more than ten Hu cavalry chasing a rider in front, and they are heading towards our carriage and horses. The brothers of the first army are staring at them. Please tell us whether to intercept them.

Ma Wu frowned slightly, and then said decisively: "No need to intercept them, let them come. The vehicles are surrounded by ten flying cavalry in front of the cavalry, and the remaining forty flying cavalry are scattered on the left and right wings, with a warning radius of hundreds of steps. If the Hu cavalry dares to enter the range of hundreds of steps, cut off their retreat and kill them all!"

The Fifty Wolf Teeth Flying Cavalry and the Fifty Flying Cavalry had already previewed the response plans for various emergencies countless times along the way. As soon as the Mahan issued the order, the Fifty Flying Cavalry had already untied the bridle of the horse under Zhou Cang's command, and surrounded the ten large chariots in a circle. The gap between the chariots was blocked with three simple guns. The servant and the horse were both inside the circle. Wu Zhui led the forty Wolf Teeth Flying Cavalry to be scattered at about a hundred steps away on both sides, and the riding cavalry was scattered like a wolf pack, which seemed to be scattered, but in fact it had hidden murderous intent and could launch a thunder attack at any time.

Ma Han jumped off the big green horse used for riding, turned over and rode on a silver arrow, galloped back and forth, brushed the blood bow in his hand, and gently wiped the arrow feathers with his slender fingers, hoping to wait. Ten steps behind him were Zhou Cang, who was holding the Sky Overlord Gun for him, and ten wolf-fanged flying cavalry warriors who were eager to attack on the strings of the arrows.

After a while, there were indeed shadows of riders on the horizon ahead, with a faint smoke rising. As the distance got closer, a cavalry ran wildly. With dozens of steps behind him, more than ten Hu cavalry chased him reluctantly. From time to time, knights set their bows and shot, and arrows flew past the fugitives, and almost shot several times.

The escapee obviously discovered Ma Han and his party, and immediately felt like he saw a savior. He tried hard to hit the horse's buttocks and ran towards him. The more than ten Hu cavalry chasing him hesitated for a moment, slowed down the horse's speed, and slowly approached. These Hu cavalry were obviously also wary of the wolf-toothed flying cavalry that spread the two pieces, but they seemed to have something to rely on, so they did not fear getting close.

But when more than ten Hu cavalry approached the vehicle and reached two hundred steps, someone suddenly pointed at the flags on the vehicle and shouted, with a full of fear. The group of Hu cavalry, who seemed fearless, exploded like a frightened horse, and ran away one after another.

Ma Han quickly raised his hand and shot him away. The arrow flashed and disappeared from his sight. When it appeared again, it had penetrated the neck of a horse and the horse knight was overturned heavily.

The arrows of the Hu Han were the command. The forty wolf teeth flew into the cavalry and the iron hooves were thunder, the earth was swelling, and the harsh arrows broke through the air were heard. In just a dozen breaths, most of the Hu Kai was shot and killed, and the two were injured and captured, and they only escaped the four cavalry. This was because they found it was not good to escape from two hundred steps. If they entered a hundred steps, they would be killed.

The escapee was just running a hundred steps, and was led by Wu Zhui and four wolf-fanged cavalry to rush up, overturned and captured alive. Then he threw them on the horse's back with the two Hu prisoners, galloped back, and reported to Ma Han from afar: "Report to the city guard, shoot eight people, capture two people, and escape four people. He obtained ten bows and eight horses."

Zhou Cang carried a heavy gun and rode his horse to approach him, shouting in dissatisfaction: "It's a pity that four of them ran away. These Hu slaves are too timid. They fled like a ghost two hundred steps away. Didn't they show any flaws when they chased you?"

Wu Zhui spread his hands: "It's not bad for me, if you want to blame you, blame it." He said that, and pointed in a certain direction.

Zhou Cang looked along Wu Zhui's finger and saw the white wolf headhunting flag swept in the wind on the cart. This is the battle flag of the White Wolf Camp, with a black hemp and tough cloth as the base. It is embroidered with a white wolf head with blood teeth and a thumb-sized jadeite. As the flag rolls, the pupils flash, which is extremely realistic and vivid.

The White Wolf Headhunting Flag, the symbol of the White Wolf Strong Cavalry, is known to everyone in western Liaoning. No wonder the group of Hu people fleeing at the flag.

Zhou Cang grinned, just as he was about to say something, but suddenly a hoarse cry came: "Ma Duwei! Ma Chengshou! Is it you? I am Shi Yan, Shi Yan of Zhen's Mansion!"

Ma Han was surprised when he heard the sound and hooked his finger at the source of the sound: "Bring the speaker here."

When Wu Zhui heard the sound, he saw that it was the pursuit fugitive who was sought after. He was surprised. Who was this person? He actually knew Chengshou.

The fugitive was quickly taken over. Although his hair was disheveled, his face was covered in dust, and there were several blood marks on his face, Ma Han still recognized it at a glance. It was indeed Shi Yan.
