Yan Chi received the news from the defeated soldiers and was in a complicated mood when he learned that Yan Liyou was attacked in Junji Mountain.
Yan Liyou's defeat was a good thing for him. People on the grassland only look at their strength. Without strength, even their biological father would bow down to their superiors. He had already mastered most of the power in the tribe, and now he is loyal to Yan Liyou
The man was hit hard again, and no one stopped him anymore.
But who attacked Yan Liyou? Is it the other tribes that moved east together, or the Kebineng who was already stationed here? Or other small tribes?
Half a day later, Yan Chi's doubts were answered. It was neither other tribes nor Ke Bineng, but the wolf cavalry he had been chasing.
The wolf rider appeared behind him, which surprised and annoyed Yan Chi.
He immediately ordered to return to the Junji Mountain area, and be sure to surround the wolf cavalry and kill them.
This is the grassland of the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people are wolves, and the Han people can only be sheep.
More specifically, only he can call himself a wolf on the grassland. The Han people claim to be a wolf rider, which is not only an offense to the Xianbei people, but also an offense to the wild wolf tribe and an offense to him personally.
More than 10,000 troops were scattered for nearly a hundred miles. When Yan Chi passed the order out, the whole army turned around and rushed back to Junji Mountain, Lu Bu and others had already run away. Yan Liyou was aware of the current affairs. From now on, the Wild Wolf Tribe was from
The Grand Marshal is you. I have no extravagant hopes, so I will take a few slaves, find a ranch, and fend for myself.
Yan Chi was not so ruthless and said that he also regarded Yan Liyou as his father. Yan Liyou could leave someone loyal to him and have a good pasture and no one would disturb him.
Arleneman was accepted by him and moved directly into his tent.
After taking over the banner of the Wild Wolf Tribe, Yan Chi became the commander of the Wild Wolf Tribe. While sending people to inform the tribes of Hongri, Kuangsha and other tribes, he also sent people to search for the whereabouts of the wolf cavalry.
After a few days of busyness, Yan Chi did not find the wolf rider, but met Goubei unexpectedly.
Maybe it was misled by the wolf cavalry's record and thought that the Wild Wolf Tribe was just like this. Or maybe it was because he had lived in the Central Plains for too long and was no longer used to the cruelty on the grassland. He decided to fight it hastily, but was defeated by the Wild Wolf Tribe.
The Xianbei people who originally belonged to Fuluhan surrendered to Yanchi without any psychological burden. Only a few hundred Huns followed him and ran away to the depths of the desert.
On the contrary, Ke Bi Neng, who had been near Junji Mountain, was safe and sound. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he maintained a close distance from the Wild Wolf Tribe. It was not until the Red Sun that the Kuangsha Tribe arrived one after another, and the marching space became smaller and smaller, so he took the initiative to evacuate.
.
Although he could not find the wolf rider, he knew that the survival ability of the wolf rider on the grassland was no less than that of them, and he would most likely be safe and sound.
On the contrary, Yan Chi is likely to be dragged to death by the wolf rider.

In the north, the mountains are moved down (Helan Mountain).
Ma Chao stepped on the stirrups, his butt half away from the saddle, and when his body reached the highest point, he let go of his hands.
The feather arrows rushed away and sank into the bushes.
With a sad voice, the blue-gray pheasant was caught in an arrow, fell down on the branches, and fell into the grass.
"Go and pick it up." Ma Chao laughed. The pheasant's long horsetail feather was very beautiful, and it must look good as a helmet tassel.
Two Hantou Qiang people jumped off their horses and rushed out.
Ma Chao held the horse's reins and looked around, looking for better prey.
Suddenly, his eyes shrank slightly.
On the official road in the distance, a fast horse rushed towards him, and the horse's hooves kicked a faint smoke and dust.
Ma Chao's eyelids twitched, and he didn't care about his prey and turned to the official road. Although he didn't know who the person was, running so urgently was definitely an important matter.
As soon as Ma Chao arrived at the official road, the knight rushed to the front, slamming the mount and turning around, shouting loudly: "Captain Ma?"
"That's right." Ma Chao did not dare to neglect and quickly showed the letter.
The knight checked the seal, took out a sealed edict from his backpack, and handed it to Ma Chao. "The emperor's edict, please reply immediately by Captain Ma."
Ma Chao turned over and dismounted, took the edict, checked the sealing mud on it, and then opened it.
After a moment, he looked ecstatic and ordered someone to take the pen and ink, and said, "I will come in time by asking the messenger to reply to the emperor." As he said that, he bit open the frozen pen with his teeth and spitted into the inkstone.
Dipped it ink and signed the messenger's receipt.
The messenger bowed his hand and thanked him, turned his horse's head and galloped away.
Ma Chao also got on the horse and shouted: "No, don't want anything. Go back to the city quickly and prepare to go to war."
"Here." The knights responded, got on their horses one after another, and followed Ma Chao toward the gates.

Gaoque.
Marquis of Shaling and General Du Liao, Zhang Yang, patted the frozen city wall lightly and sighed.
"What a hell, where did the Xianbei people go? With such heavy snow on the grassland, can they still survive?"
The guards beside him were speechless. Zhang Yang was extremely bored and actually looked forward to the Xianbei people coming to rob? In this winter, isn’t it good to hide in the strait and drink and eat meat? He insisted on fighting with the Xianbei people?
"June, two days ago, I heard a fleeing Xianbei man say that a group of horse thieves appeared on the grassland, coming and going like the wind and killing people like numb. Many tribes were destroyed by them, leaving almost no living habits. Could it be them?
The killing was too fierce, and the Xianbei people were damaged, so they dared not come?"
"Where did the horse thief come out?" Zhang Yang rubbed his hands and thought about it carefully. "I haven't heard of any cruel people on the grassland recently."
"Can they be Fu Luohan's old subordinate? The lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Fu Luohan's head is hung on the city wall, many of his subordinates still make a living on the grassland."
"It's possible, too." Zhang Yang sneered: "A group of defeated soldiers can only be kings and domineers where I, the Han people, don't go. When we kill them one day, no matter whether they are camels or horses, they will kill them and eat meat.
.”
As he was speaking, someone came to report that an envoy from the court arrived and brought the emperor's edict.
Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows and suddenly became energetic. He walked down the city tower in two steps in three steps.
Not long after, Zhang Yang's roar came from the city.
"The whole army gathers together and prepares to go to war--"
——
Jincheng.
Han Sui leaned on the table, holding a wine glass in one hand and a book in the other, and was enjoying reading it.
"Repay! The emperor's messenger is here!"
Han Sui was shocked, turned over and sat up, almost beating the wine pot on the verdict.
The footsteps were heard, and the envoy of the emperor had already entered the hall, full of dust, with a skin behind him. He walked to the front seat, turned south, took out the edict from the skin, and raised it high.
"The emperor's edict is here, and I ask the general of Zhenxi to receive the edict."
Han Sui quickly stood up, tidy up his clothes, and bowed to salute. "Marquis of Jincheng, General of Zhenxi, I received the imperial edict."
The envoy delivered the edict to Han Sui. Han Sui picked up the pen, signed the edict receipt, and ordered someone to take the envoy to rest. He opened the edict, read it once, twitched the corners of his mouth, and pondered for a moment.
"Please come to General Anxi, hurry up!"
Not long after, Cheng Gongying rushed over. After reading the edict, his eyes lit up. "General, what's the matter with this? Of course, it's about sending troops, and the faster the better."
"There are quite a few Xianbei people." Han Sui said in a deep voice: "A few tribes combined will not have fewer troops than Fu Luohan."
"But the current court is not the court of last year." Cheng Gongying said anxiously: "The emperor stayed to Tu Ze for more than half a year, isn't he just waiting for this day? The Xianbei in the central region has surrendered and defeated the main force of the Xianbei in the western region, and at least the five Liangzhou can protect the five people in Liangzhou.
In the year of peace, the trade routes in the Western Regions can be reopened."
Han Sui looked at Cheng Gongying and was surprised. "Are you so confident?"
Cheng Gongying smiled. "General, you should be very clear about what kind of person the emperor is. If you are not sure, will he do this?"
Han Sui thought for a moment and nodded. "Since that's the case, then gather the army and prepare to go on the expedition."
