Midsummer is approaching, and the sun is scorching hot in the Central Plains, but it is extremely cool in the city.
At this time, it is the season when pasture is abundant, but it is also the time when conflicts are most intense. For a piece of lush pasture, tribes often fight each other...
"Sir, hold on a little longer. Shizuishan is ahead."
A man is swaying on a war horse.
He was covered in blood and lay on the horse, barely able to sit still.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen mounted retinues closely following him. A retinue dressed as a Huns urged his horse forward and gave the man a hand.
The man finally regained his balance and looked up, only to see the mountains in the distance being vaguely visible.
He grabbed a water bag from the horse's back, and after taking a few sips, he felt slightly refreshed...
"Let's go home."
He gritted his teeth, gathered the reins and was about to urge the horse.
The sound of rumbling hooves came from behind, and more than a hundred horsemen appeared from a distance, chasing after him like lightning.
"Damn Liu Bao, do you want to kill them all?"
The man spat out bloody spit, pulled out a long knife with his backhand, and was about to attack him. The retinue was shocked and quickly stopped the man.
"My lord, you must not fall for a fight...
Liu Bao wants to put your Majesty to death this time, but if you fight him, it will be exactly what he wants. We will fight to the death to stop you, please leave as soon as possible."
"Hongdu, you must live!"
"Don't worry, Sir, Hong Du will not die."
As the young man spoke, he turned his horse's head and shouted sternly: "You sons of Tanshihuai, follow me to protect you and evacuate."
More than ten knights shouted at the same time, picked up their bows and urged their horses to rush back.
The man did not dare to hesitate, so he turned his horse and left.
In the distance, more than a hundred horsemen are getting closer and closer. The knights on the horses are all dressed in Huns costumes. The most eye-catching thing is their unique braided attire, which makes people recognize their origins at a glance. The so-called boned hair,
It is a hairstyle in which the hair on the top of the head is shaved off, and the hair is grown around it into small braids. The face is slightly larger, with high cheekbones, slightly sunken eye sockets, and fair complexion. These people have caused countless disasters to the Han people.
of the Huns.
Seeing the young man rushing towards him, the leader of the Huns sucked his mouth and uttered a series of strange syllables.
More than a hundred horsemen dispersed in an instant, drawing their bows and shooting arrows. Young Hongdu dodged on his horse while fighting back.
In just a few hundred steps, people kept falling off their horses.
This is also the most common way of duel among the Hu people in Saibei. For a time, arrows rained down, and there was a constant flow of arrows.
Hongdu's riding and shooting skills were obviously superb. Without a saddle or stirrups, he seemed to be integrated with the war horse. The Huns' arrows were extremely fierce, but they could not hurt him. At the same time, he kept fighting back, and in the blink of an eye, he kept fighting back.
After shooting three Huns in succession, the horse suddenly hissed loudly and fell to the ground.
He can dodge arrows, but horses cannot.
After Hongdu fell from his horse, more than ten Huns rushed towards him roaring.
"Yong Nu, don't even think about killing me."
Hong Du rolled over on the ground and jumped up with a cry. There was a bright long knife in his hand. If you look closely, you will find that the long knife in his hand is actually the standard steel knife that Cao Junli just started to promote.
The spine of the sword flashed with a hint of dark red in the air. The leader of the Huns was chopped off his horse with one strike. Hongdu ran quickly and caught up with the ownerless horse in a few steps. He reached out and reached for his hand.
He grabbed the bridle, put one hand on the horse's back, and jumped onto the horse's back. The horse didn't even know that its owner had been replaced by someone else... Hong Du suddenly tilted his body on the horse, and pushed the long knife in his hand sideways.
A Huns next to him suddenly lost his head in two places.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
From the time when Hongdu fell off his horse to when he mounted his horse again to kill the enemy, it only took a dozen breaths.
But in just a dozen breaths, most of Hongdu's companions had been destroyed, leaving only three or five people, and all of them were injured.
"Hongdu, King Zuo Xianjing, you are a good man, why would you sacrifice your life with Tan Zhe?
If you are willing to surrender to King Zuo Xian, not only will you not die, but you will also have women, cattle and horses to choose from, so don't go down by mistake."
"Yong Nu, the eagle has only one master in its life.
Liu Bao wants me to surrender, but that is just a dream... Master Tan's kindness to me is not comparable to that of a cow, a horse, or a woman."
Hongdu said that they would meet again.
But the few remaining followers stopped him.
"Hongdu, go and follow in your footsteps. It's enough to have us here."
Hongdu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, "Children of Tanshihuai, charge!"
The Hun named Yongnu had a look of cruelty in his eyes.
"Since you are looking for death, then I will help you...kill them."
The Huns roared and urged their horses to gallop forward.
The few followers showed no fear, bent their bows and arrows, and rushed towards the Huns.
Hongdu's eyes flashed with tears, he suddenly turned his horse's head and turned away.
"Hongdu, you coward, how dare you run away."
Yong Nu did not expect that Hong Du would actually run away from the battle. You must know that Hong Du was nicknamed the Wolf of Black Water. He was fierce and brave and was the number one general of Black Water Xianbei. Yong Nu wanted to kill Hong Du this time.
The thought came to him, but he never thought that Hongdu would actually leave without fighting. He roared angrily and urged his horse to pursue him...but those retinues tried their best to stop him.
The three or five retinues actually delayed Yong Nu's footsteps.
After Yong Nu killed these followers, Hong Du ran out for nearly a mile.
"Pursue and kill Hongdu, and we will never withdraw our troops."
Yongnu shouted sharply, leading the Xiongnu soldiers and galloping away in the direction Hongdu had fled.

Shizuishan Mountain is named after the "rocks protruding like a mouth" at the intersection of the Helan Mountains and the Yellow River.
This is the southern part of the Yangtze River and is extremely rich in natural resources.
Compared with the desolation and desolation of later generations, the greenery of Shizuishan at this time is full of life and interest. The vegetation here has not been heavily cut down, nor has it been baptized by war. Going north from Shizuishan is a complete "Hu District".
Cao Peng can already ride a horse and seems to be in much better spirits than in the past few days.
It's just that his face is still a little pale and a little weak. Most of the injuries on his body have improved, but he can't go into battle. The power of Leng Fei's sword will definitely not be recovered in a short time. But at least, he is no longer in fear of his life.
Cao Peng looks calm on the surface, but he still has some worries in his heart... because Leng Fei's whereabouts have not yet been found. Even with Zhou Liang's help, there is still no clue. This always makes Cao Peng a little uneasy.
Leng Fei has become a thorn in Cao Peng's heart.
This guy's kung fu is too powerful, and he's not the kind of enemy that can be faced face to face.
He is hiding in the dark, and may give Cao Peng a fatal blow at any time. Even if Cao Peng is confident that he can block Leng Fei's assassination, being on tenterhooks all day long is not a thing after all. 'Don't be afraid of thieves, just be afraid of thieves.
Cao Peng finally understood the principle of worrying about one's heart. It was precisely for this reason that Cao Peng wanted to put Leng Fei to death.
"Zhou Liang said that no clues could be found."
"Has the entire inner camp been investigated?"
Pang Tong said softly: "We have checked... However, there are still members of the Marquis of Linyi in the inner camp. Although Zhou Liang controls the inner camp, there is no way to find it from the Marquis of Linyi. He sent someone to say that the Marquis of Linyi was on guard.
It's very strict, and he doesn't dare to reveal the truth easily. He just said that please be patient for a while, and when he gets the chance, he will definitely try to find it..."
"Let him...protect himself."
Cao Peng frowned and whispered to Pang Tong.
Although Leng Fei is dangerous, Cao Peng doesn't want to expose the hidden clues he finally buried because of Leng Fei.
Zhou Liang is of greater use in the palace.
If it's for a Leng Fei...
"Afu, do you think Leng Fei will die?"
"What do you think?"
Pang Tong immediately stopped talking, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled bitterly.
Cao Peng firmly believed that Leng Fei was not dead. With his level of skill, how could he die so easily? Of course Liu Guang would try his best to protect this Leng Fei, because this Leng Fei was a trump card in his hand. But if Leng Fei was not dealt with
, it is a trouble after all.
Thinking of this, Cao Peng suddenly coughed lightly.
He took out a square handkerchief from his arms, covered his mouth, and then threw it on the ground.
The team continued to march, and the Shizuishan Pass was faintly visible.
A chamberlain walked by the roadside. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he secretly picked up the handkerchief from the ground and saw that it was stained with bright red blood.
A cold smile appeared on his face, and he immediately limped and continued to march with the brigade...
Coming out of Shizui Mountain, the view suddenly becomes wider.
The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the rush of the northern part of the country makes people suddenly feel broad-minded.
"The bicycle wants to ask about the border. It belongs to the country and has passed Juyan. Zheng Peng left the Han Dynasty and returned to the wild geese to enter the Hutian.
The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, the sun is setting in the long river. Xiao Guan is waiting to ride, and they are all guarding Yan Ran... It is really a good poem!"
Cao Peng couldn't help but murmur to himself, and then a smile appeared on his pale face.
Pang Yi looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "Afu, I have never seen a narcissistic person like you, how can you praise yourself?"
"ah?"
Cao Peng was startled, then realized what he was doing, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Wang Wei's "Envoy to the Fortress" perfectly fits today's scene. The bad thing is that his last sentence caused Pang Tong to misunderstand.
But, it doesn’t matter, just be narcissistic, it’s better than masturbating.
Cao Peng was about to speak when he suddenly saw the army and horses in front of him stop.
He quickly asked: "Why stop the horse?"
"Captain Cao, there is someone in front..."
When Cao Peng heard this, he hurriedly urged his horse to rush to a higher place, and set up a pergola to watch.
I saw a horse coming out of nowhere, with a young man on it, prostrate on the horse's back.
When they met the convoy, the horse immediately stopped. The young man on the horse immediately fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
"It seems like someone is chasing you?"
Cao Peng led Han De and Wang Shuang and quickly rode over.
Several guards were seen arriving at the young man's side. Han De recognized the young man's attire at a glance and hurriedly said to Cao Peng: "Sir, this guy seems to be from Xianbei."
"Xianbei people?"
Cao Peng was startled.
If it had been twenty years earlier, he would have had some concerns about the Xianbei people.
But now...
He dismounted and walked forward. Tian Shao quickly came over to greet him, holding a long knife in his hand and handed it to Cao Peng.
"Sir, this sword seems to have been made by Feng Chehou."
"oh?"
When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help showing curiosity and reached out to take the long knife.
At this moment, a group of Huns came galloping in the distance, with the sound of iron hoofs and a strange roar coming from the Huns' mouths. The sound was amazing.
"Han barbarian, keep the goods and hand over Hongdu!"
Yong Nu's shouts reached Cao Peng's ears.
However, Yongnu shouted in the Xiongnu dialect, and Cao Peng couldn't understand it, so he turned around and asked, "What is that guy shouting?"

Recently, Chengdu has expanded the scope of power restrictions, sadly covering the 2.5 Ring Road...
I didn't call until 11 o'clock, so I couldn't update yesterday. Please forgive me.
The weather in Chengdu has been quite weird recently. Every evening, there are lightning and thunder, as if someone is going through a catastrophe, which scares the old man to death!
