Liu Bao was shot to death by the sharp archer. Although he was shot by mistake, who wouldn't want such a great achievement? Hearing Kemaian keep saying that Liu Bao fell into their hands, he was quite dissatisfied. But he didn't dare to say it, he just looked gloomy.
Kemaian also had his own little calculation. He had heard Zhao Yun say that in the future, all Xiongnu tribes would be merged into the Han Dynasty. Those who did not want to would face the danger of being exterminated by the Han people. He was a close confidant of Yuv Luo and knew it very well. Yuvluo's character, as a Xiongnu Chanyu, Yuvluo would never be willing to be a Han Dynasty obedient citizen. In this case, their tribe would either be exterminated or another leader would be established.
Now, so many young men gathered around Kemaian have decided to sincerely surrender to the Han Dynasty. Humphrey will definitely not be able to continue to be the leader. The only solution is to establish another leader. Kemaian wants to be the leader of this tribe. Zhao Yun temporarily appointed him as the leader of this team, but it does not mean that he can become the leader of the entire tribe, because he is already disabled after all. However, if he hands Liu Bao over to the Han people, he will have many opportunities. Great odds of winning.
Seeing the reluctance of the sharp archer, Kemaian smiled and said: "Okay, I will not forget your contribution. When I go back, I will promise my daughter to you. I don't have a son. This home isn’t all yours yet.”
Kemaian said it so directly, how could the sharp archer refuse to agree? He was indeed the one who shot Liu Bao to death, and he wanted to give this credit to Kemaian. Naturally, it was inconvenient for others to say anything. So someone He took out the knife he carried with him for cutting meat and cut Liu Bao's head. The knife was not only small, but also not very sharp. Cutting meat with a dull knife was quite painful. Fortunately, Liu Bao was already dead and he couldn't feel it anymore.
After Ma Chao "liberated" the slaves in the tribe, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he led his soldiers and stationed themselves in Yuvro's camp. Because Yuvro was a Xiongnu chanyu, the slaves here were compared to those of other tribes. The slaves were even more timid. Two days had passed, and no one dared to choose an unmarried girl from the tribe. Of course, Ma Chao would not do anything to find a match, but he did not dare to leave immediately with his men. Otherwise, without the support of the Han army, it is conceivable that these slaves will soon return to their old ways.
Lin San was very anxious when he saw that Ma Chao was standing still. After waiting for another two days, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and walked into Ma Chao again and persuaded: "General Qi, Yu Fuluo sent a large group of troops to attack Huchuquan, where It's General Zhao's escort, should we kill him and attack him from both sides?"
Ma Chao looked at Lin San with a half-smile but said, "Are you worried that General Zhao will blame me for not going to the rescue?"
Lin San nodded and said nothing.
Ma Chao picked up the changing sword that symbolized the royal power of the Huns and said with a smile: "Who is General Zhao? How could he have such an idea as you? Besides, Liu Bao's people are not enough for Zhao. The general was so stuffed with teeth that I couldn't catch up even if I went there. Alas, it's a pity that I still missed the great achievement of killing Liu Bao. Fortunately, I also killed Yu Fuluo, so it was finally worth my while. Lin San, Do you think my lord will promote me to deputy general after I return this time?"
Lin San had been with Ma Teng for many years and was used to seeing the divisions and intrigues between Ma Teng and Han Sui. He did not believe that Liu Xin's generals were all frank and selfless. Ma Chao lived in this Huns tent all day long. Here, he also knew that Yu Fulo sent troops but did not go to reinforce Zhao Yun. If someone with intentions takes advantage of it, it would be a serious crime. If Liu Xin becomes serious, not only Ma Chao, but also the entire Ma family will be in ruins. But Ma Chao It was obvious that he couldn't listen to what he said, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Suddenly, there was a shrill sound of horns in the camp, three long and two short, which was the enemy attack signal agreed by the Han army. Ma Chao suddenly became excited, stood up straight and said loudly: "Lead the horse and bring the cloak!"
The most indispensable thing in the Xiongnu tribe is war horses, and Ma Chao was born in Xiliang and is good at riding and shooting. He prefers riding horses to using skis. This is Yuvluo's camp, and there is not much space in and around the camp. The snow is perfect for galloping war horses. In the past few days, he often rode war horses around the camp. His handsome face, strong posture, and superb riding skills often made the unmarried Hun girls in the camp scream. They screamed, completely forgetting that this "hateful" boy was the one who forced their Shanyu to death.
The attire is very ordinary, no different from other generals, a set of chain mail, a hard bow, a pot of feather arrows, an iron spear and a sword. However, the horse that the soldiers brought The horse is extremely handsome. Except for the four white hooves, it is all black without a single hair. This was Humphrey's beloved mount, but now it was taken over by Ma Chao and named Ta. Snow Wulongzhao.
The military discipline of the Han army was very strict, and all captured items were returned to the public and were not allowed to be possessed privately. The Taxue Wulongzhai also had to be handed over, but it did not prevent Ma Chao from using it for a ride now.
The horse went beyond the big tent and mounted with the gun in hand. Before reaching the edge of the camp, several fast horses were already seen galloping towards them. These were the scouts sent to guard the surroundings of the camp.
Immediately, someone raised his hand and said, "General Qi, Humphrey's defeated army is back."
When Ma Chao heard this, he was doubly surprised. He frowned and said, "General Zhao didn't kill them all in one fell swoop? Is Liu Bao inside? If he is inside, then God will help me and let me win this first victory."
The scout hesitated for a moment and said: "General Qi, these people were released by General Zhao. They are not carrying weapons and are waiting for the general to leave five miles outside the camp."
Ma Chao was stunned and said: "Are you sure they were released and didn't cheat?"
The scout clasped his fists and said: "Back to the general, there are many wounded soldiers among them, who have been treated by our military doctors. Brothers will not be mistaken."
The military doctors in the Han army had their own set of procedures and tools for treating the wounded. Just look at the white cloths used by the injured Huns cavalry to bandage their wounds. Only then did Ma Chao believe that these defeated soldiers were really brought back by Zhao Yun, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. .Finally got the opportunity to fight for a while with his horse, and let his soldiers take a good look. Even without stirrups, Ma Chao can still move freely on the horse. Who would have expected that this would be the result? How could he not? Disappoint him?
After a while, Kemaian was carried into the royal tent. He dragged an injured leg, struggled to kneel on the ground, and offered the head with both hands.
When Ma Chao learned that it was Liu Bao's head, he burst out laughing. He threw a cloth bag on the table to Kemaian and said, "Ma Chao couldn't find him everywhere, but you took the lead. Don't worry.
, Ma will tell my lord your merits, and I will reward you with this package first."
Kemaian saw that this cloth bag looked familiar. When he opened it, he was shocked and said: "The villain has merit and innocence, please show mercy to the general!"
Ma Chao asked strangely: "What are you talking about? When will I take your life?"
Kemaian raised the cloth bag in his hand tremblingly and said: "Then why did the general give this bag of poisonous weeds to the villain?"
"Poisonous weed?" Ma Chao's eyes widened and he laughed loudly, "What poisonous weed? Who did you listen to? This is tea! That's a good thing. Even Ma Mou can't get it easily. It's not because of your great achievements.
How could Ma be willing to give you the tea?"
When Ma Teng and his son first arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Xin treated them to a drink and gave them and his son a small bag. The feeling of fragrance on the lips and teeth was unforgettable, but the small bag was finished quickly. I thought Xiangyang
In such a prosperous metropolis, it is not difficult to buy some tea leaves in the market. As a result, the father and his son wandered through the streets and alleys of Xiangyang City, but could not buy one or two tea leaves that met their requirements. Just because they could drink it.
They are all old teas that Yu turned over and roasted. The new teas have not yet been released on the market, so naturally there is no place to buy them. Moreover, even if the new teas are released next spring, it will be almost impossible for the public to buy them in the short term. Such a precious thing is actually
Being called a poisonous weed by Kemeian, Ma Chao was really dumbfounded.
Kemaian understood that this was not a poisonous weed, but a good thing that could be brewed with boiling water. When he smelled the alluring fragrance, he immediately felt like he had found a treasure and hurriedly hid it in his arms.
Ma Chao saw that Kemaian had a broken leg and it was really difficult to lie down there. He waved his hand and motioned for people to put him on the stretcher again. After he lay down, he said: "Kemaian, Humphrey is dead.
, Since General Zhao asked you to be the leader of these defeated troops, you will be temporarily responsible for the affairs of the tribe."
When Kemaian heard this, he got what he wanted. He was now disabled, and only by continuing to be the leader could he ensure that his family would not be bullied. He couldn't help but thank him repeatedly.
Ma Chao waved his hand and continued: "I have freed all the slaves in your tribe. From now on, they are ordinary members of your tribe and must not be discriminated against or abused."
Kemaian nodded repeatedly and said: "Please rest assured, general, this villain will treat them like his own brothers from now on."
After this battle, the Yuvluo tribe has been severely weakened. If these slaves are willing to join their tribe sincerely, it will not be a bad thing for the entire tribe.
Ma Chao added: "You can select some unmarried girls from the tribe and let them marry young and strong slaves."
Seeing the hesitation on Kemaian's face, Ma Chao's face sank and he said, "What? Is this matter difficult to handle?"
In Ma Chao's view, this was a clever move for him to transform the Yufuluo tribe. Naturally, he had to find ways to complete it, but he didn't know that in various tribes, the status of slaves was very low. Who would marry his daughter to a
What about the slaves? Although these slaves have regained their freedom, they have neither cattle, sheep, nor tents, so it can be said that they have nothing. Kemaian is also the father of a daughter, so he is really embarrassed about this kind of thing.
Seeing that Kemaian was silent, Ma Chao said angrily: "Do you have an unmarried daughter?"
Kemaian was startled, nodded, and then said: "The villain only has one daughter, but she has just been promised to a descendant of the tribe."
Ma Chao stared at Kemaian closely and sneered: "What a coincidence. Are you trying to fool me? As long as we are not married, it doesn't count! You have to set an example."
Kemaian groaned secretly, and suddenly saw Ma Chao's handsome face. An idea flashed in his heart, and he quickly said: "The little girl should be beautiful, if the general wants..."
