Chapter 244 [The Huns are mad]

(The alliance supports Gangba! Thanks to Zhao Wuxiu 2014, I love Hongxiu)

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

Baling is located in the northeast of Chang'an, one of the seven tombs in Chang'an. It is the tomb of Emperor Xiaowen Liu Heng. Because it is located in Bashui, it is the dominant tomb. Chang'an had only five tombs at the beginning of the year, and later it was added to the seven tombs. Each tomb is equivalent to a county, forming satellite cities around Chang'an. Because the residents of the seven tombs were all high-ranking officials and wealthy officials who were forced to migrate in the early Han Dynasty. Over the past few hundred years, the people living in these seven tombs were either rich or noble. At the prosperous times, it was comparable to the second ring road of the capital in later generations. Every inch of land was precious and precious, and it was hard to find a place. But in the troubled times, it was the fat in the eyes of the strong Liang bandits.

The three auxiliary soldiers were in trouble, and the Qiling was destroyed the most. Although these rich people had money and food, they each built walls, they were still very reluctant to deal with ordinary bandits. If even the king's army turned into bandits, which kind of wall could withstand it?

Therefore, when Ma Han and his party entered Baling, the scene they saw was exactly the same as what they saw along the way. The fields were deserted, the passers-by had vegetables, the wind was cold, the weeds were bleak, and the city foxes and the clubs were inhabited.

Jia Xu's tribe members lived in a somewhat broken but still complete wall. The person in charge of the tribe was Jia Xu's brother Jia Cai. Although Jia Cai was the eldest brother, he only regarded him as the chief of the rank of the clan (belongs to Jincheng County). Compared with his younger brother, the gap was too far, so he was willing to recommend him as the head of the family and regarded himself as his deputy assistant.

Before traveling west, Jia Xu had already sent a servant to tell him about this matter. The Jia clan members were ready to move east, but the appearance of Ma Han was still unexpected. In addition to being surprised, he was even more touched. This was the lord who the Jia clan would serve in the future. He actually welcomed and escorted him personally. What kind of treatment is this? From this, it can be seen that this young lord valued the head of the family.

Jia Xu had three sons, all of whom were already adults. The eldest son Jia Mu was 27 years old, strong in physical condition, skilled in archery and horses, and was also familiar with classics. He was the guard commander of the Wubi. The second son Jia Gun was 23 years old, read a lot of books and had wisdom and strategy. Both sons were married, and Jia Mu also gave birth to a son. Only the youngest son Jia Ji had just finished the ceremony at the beginning of the year and had not yet started a family.

All the people of the Jia clan, with their prominence and conspicuous figures came to pay homage to Ma Han, but after the worship, Jia Xu discovered that there was an important figure missing - the youngest son Jia Ji.

Jia Xu's face darkened and his voice was stern: "Where is Sanlang?"

Jia Fang, the second son who stood behind Jia Xu, whispered: "Shubi has been patrolling for his elder brother recently. The safety of the dock wall depends on his strength. Maybe he is still patrolling the surrounding area at this time. He has sent someone to urge..."

Before he finished speaking, a servant rolled into the hall. He looked frightened: "The head of the family... no, no, the third young master led a team of Wuding to find the bad luck of the Hu people."

The whole house was quiet, and Jia Xu frowned slightly: "Where is the Hu man? Why did he provoke Sanlang?"

The servant panted and replied: "When the master goes home,... the third young master was ordered to return to the dock. But as soon as he entered the gate, he heard the servant Cai's servant asking for help, saying, "It's... His little lady and the old servant went to the Zangdao Pavilion to cut firewood, but were snatched away by a group of Hu people. When the third young master heard this, he led the patrolman out of the door without saying a word..."

Jia Fang whispered: "That little mother of Cai is..." The voice behind him was lowered, obviously not wanting to announce it to the public.

After hearing this, Jia Xu said calmly: "It turned out to be her. It's necessary that Saburo urgently saves people." He apologized to Ma Han sideways.

Ma Wen waved his hand, pondered for a while, and asked the servant: "Do you often have Hu people appear nearby?"

The servant shook his head: "It is more common in Changling and Yangling, but there are fewer in Baling."

Most of the Hu people who caused trouble in Chang'an were Qiang and Hu soldiers in Xiliang. Their base was in Chiyang, northwest of Chang'an, close to Changling and Yangling. There were Ma Teng, Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang warlords stationed there. You can imagine the extent of their disaster. Because they were separated by a Wei River, under normal circumstances, they rarely crossed the boundary and invaded Baling.

Jia Xu was so smart that when he heard Ma Han's words, he knew the meaning and said loudly: "Does the lord suspect the Huns?"

Ma Han nodded: "The Huns have already wandered here, and there is no doubt about this. Most of them dare not pass the Wei River, for fear of conflict with the Xiliang Camp in Chiyang. Then the most likely area of ​​activity is here."

Upon hearing this, Jiamu couldn't sit still and bowed: "Aweng, I'll help Shubi with my help."

Ma Han immediately ordered Wu Zhui and led a team of wolf-fanged flying cavalry to help. This move naturally attracted no thanks from the Jia clan.

About half an hour later, dozens of people covered in blood and were slightly injured were carried back to the Jia family's dock wall by war horses and ox carts. The wall suddenly burst into tears and wailed everywhere.

Ma Han and Jia Xu walked out of the hall together, but they saw that most of these people were guardians from the wall, and there were five or six wolf cavalry soldiers. They were basically injured by arrows, and several arrows were inserted on the front and backs of the chest. The wolf cavalry soldiers at least had skin helmets and short armor to protect themselves, and their injuries were not serious. Those guardians from the scarf and goose clothes were not so lucky. Most of them were seriously injured and dying, and some were already dead halfway...

Jia Xu's expression was as usual, only his fingers twisting his beards turned white due to excessive force, revealing his inner anger.

Ma Han raised his eyes and saw Wu Zhui, Jia Mu, and the third young master who caused trouble. He shouted, "Where are Wu Sima and the two young masters Jia?"

An escorted wolf cavalry soldier bowed his head and replied: "Report to General, when we arrived, Mr. Jia San had already fought with the Huns..."

Xu Huang, who was standing beside him, said, "Are you really a Hun?"

"Yes, we captured two and interrogated them." The wolf cavalry warrior continued, "At that time, there were not many Huns, only more than ten cavalry, but they were very fierce. They shot and killed many guards. Jia San Gongzi also got an arrow in his arm. Later, when the Huns saw us coming, they tied the captured Cai girl onto a horse to escape. Jia San Gongzi chased her closely regardless of her injuries. Jia San Gongzi was worried and followed her with them. Wu Sima also led a team to assist. He ran for several miles, and was about to catch up, and suddenly appeared a large number of Hun cavalry, no less than a hundred cavalry. Jia San Gongzi chased her too quickly and could not close her down, but was tied up by the Huns with a lasso. Although Wu Sima and Jia Grand Master Jia jointly robbed her, they failed to succeed, and instead injured many people. They are now confronting the Huns..."

Ma Han asked, "Where are the two Hun prisoners?"

The wolf cavalry warrior waved his hand back: "Bring it up."

These two prisoners were typical Huns: hair, wide face, concave eyes, skeleton legs, solid body, greasy fur coat. One of them was shot in the back of their arms, but the other one was not injured. It was probably caught by the wolf cavalry warrior with a lasso.

As soon as these two Hun prisoners appeared, they became an angry ejaculation gate for the Jia clan. Many people rushed over and beat him up. If Jia Cai hadn't stopped shouting, he would have turned into two corpses without waiting for Ma Han to interrogate him.

Ma Han walked straight to the two prisoners who were lying on the ground, constantly spitting broken teeth and blood foam, bowed slightly, and said in the Huns: "I have some things to ask you. After asking, you will exchange prisoners according to the rules, or redeem them with money and property. So if you want to survive and return to the tribe, it is best to reply truthfully..."

Jia Xu looked at Ma Han with a little more admiration. He even knew Hu Yu. He was really a maverick lord.

Soon, the interrogation of Ma Han ended, and the Xiongnu prisoners were very happy and said everything they knew. It was related to life and nothing was tough. It was obvious that the other party was familiar with the tribal rules, which made them feel at ease and trusted a little more, so naturally they would not hide it.

"This is the team of the Right Xian King of the Southern Xiongnu who went to Bei. There were about seven or eight hundred troops." The information obtained by the Ma Wei general shouted to everyone. "They were defeated by Zhang Xiu's troops in Caoyangting and lost hundreds of cavalry. Because the way to advance east was cut off by Zhang Xiu, they were forced to turn west and plunder all the way, intending to eat at Xijing. Their camp was stationed north of Mount Li, preparing to attack four times to maintain the situation. After the river was frozen, they stepped on the ice and crossed the river and returned to Heyang (the old nest of the Southern Xiongnu in Henei County). Today is the day they first plundered - that is, if they are not driven away or eliminated, within the next month, Lishan to Baling and Duling areas will be harmed."

Ma Han looked around and saw thrilling faces. Indeed, seven or eight hundred Hu Qi, this was an overwhelming force for the various dock walls in Baling and Duling.

Ma Han's eyes finally stopped on Jia Xu's face and said, "Wenhe, I will definitely rescue the third young master, and I am sure to escort the Jia family to leave safely. As for whether to let the Xiongnu rebellion and dominate the tombs or find an opportunity to eradicate it depends on your intention - after all, you are the victim."

Although Jia Xu had never heard of the saying "victim", he could understand the meaning after thinking for a moment. When the corner of his mouth curled, his eyes were filled with a cold look: "I, Jia Xu, don't like to cause trouble, but if I messed with my head, I would not let it go - let it go and die!"

Ma Han suddenly laughed: "Oddly! I'll take the son back now, and then set a day of worship for you!"

Amid the laughter, he turned over the horse and led Xu Huang, more than a hundred wolf cavalry, Xiliang Ruizhan, almost one person and two riders, rolled up the smoke and dust in the sky and ran towards the southeast.

Jia Xu stood on the steps, watching the more than a hundred cavalry disappear, and attracted all the guards and ordered: "From now on, no matter what method you use, before dark, I need to know the location of the Mount Li camp of the Huns, the distribution of the camp, how many food, horses, and defense settings are there. Du!" With a wave of his sleeve, nearly a hundred guards rushed to the gate, leaking like quicksand.

Jia Xu turned around and sent a party to his brother Jia Cai: "Please go to the Baling Gewu Wall to report this situation and try your best to convince the two walls to help each other. Tell them that there is no need for them to send guards to the battlefield, just shake the flag and shout."

Jia Cai said in surprise: "Don't need help? This, can this work?"

Jia Xu said lightly: "Even if there are no battles in each wall, even if there are thousands of people, it will only help you, and it will not help you. Soldiers are more important than elites."

Jia Fang behind him said worriedly: "Aweng, can that right general save Shubi back? Judging from his expression, he seems to be indifferent."

Jia Xu raised his head and looked south, smiled slightly: "He said he could, so he would definitely do it!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
