According to Lan Yuan's instructions, Chu Qing deliberately left some people alive and went back to Linyi to report the news, which immediately attracted the attention of the emperor and ministers in the capital.
Linyi has been independent for decades, and no Han army has ever penetrated deep into the hinterland of Linyi. How do these hundreds of Han cavalry bypass the defense lines of the four northern cities?
Ou Lian killed Han officials and established himself as king. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty's army was unable to take care of the border areas, so the Linyi Kingdom lived peacefully for decades.
District family members sealed the territory and split the country, and the country was unfairly won. In addition, there was a tradition in the Han Dynasty that "anyone who openly offends a strong Han will be punished no matter how far away." The current monarch, District Jin, broke out in cold sweat on his vest.
Seeing the monarch Qu Jin sitting on his throne with a worried look on his face, Fan Shanhu, the general protecting the country in Linyi, stood up. He beat his chest with his right hand and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. There are only a few hundred cavalry in Nanheng Mountain. Even though there are only a few hundred cavalry in Nanheng Mountain, There is nothing to be afraid of if the Han army invades, and I am willing to lead more than a thousand of the king's troops to fight against it."
"General protecting the country, don't underestimate the enemy. The Han army can come with hundreds of people now, and in the future they can come with thousands, or even tens of thousands or tens of thousands of people. Could it be that the disputes in the Central Plains are over and the court has freed up its hands?" Ou Jin's face was as heavy as water. .
Fan Shanhu was eight feet tall, a tall and straight figure among the generally short-statured Zhan people. Because of his outstanding military prowess in the country, he became the general who protected the country in Linyi, and was deeply loved and respected by the people.
"Are you too worried, Your Majesty? If the Han Dynasty really uses troops against us, they will definitely send troops from Jiaozhi and Jiuzhen nearby. But you know the situation of Shixie, so what's the point of fear even if there are ten thousand people?" Fan Shanhu looked disapproving. .
"What do you say about the hundreds of cavalry? How did they pass through Hengshan Pass and the four important towns in the north?" Ou Jin asked.
Fan Shanhu stroked his curly short beard, frowned and shook his head: "This is exactly what the general is wondering about. The Hengshan Pass in the north is dangerous and easy to defend. Normally, when the Han army attacks the pass, we should receive news here..."
Ou Jin frowned and analyzed: "Although Linyi broke off diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty, private trade continued, and Longbian often had caravans coming over. From the news leaked from some traders, it seems that the three families of Cao, Liu, and Sun are still fighting for the world in the Central Plains. Who will Spending money, food and troops to cause trouble for us? Besides, there is a soldier in the middle. The key is these hundreds of cavalry..."
"I feel that the words of those rangers cannot be fully believed. Maybe they were attacked by wild beasts in the mountains, and they deliberately prepared the Han cavalry to invade. Otherwise, they blew those Han people to the sky, how could they return to the capital alive?" Fan Shanhu frowned.
Ou Jin nodded, "I will send someone to have another trial, but this matter must be guarded against. We have to send someone to Nanheng Mountain to investigate."
"General, I'd better go in person. If the Han army really invades the territory, they must be killed in Nanheng Mountain. Otherwise, without the mountain barrier, only the capital can be defended." Fan Shanhu clasped his fists and begged for orders.
"The rangers have praised the Han cavalry to the sky. The general can lead three thousand warriors there. Don't underestimate the enemy." Ou Jin told him.
Fan Shanhu waved his hand: "Just a few hundred Han cavalry and three thousand Zhanren warriors. It's a great compliment for them. Two thousand will be enough for the general."
"Uh... that's fine..." Ou Jin did not suppress Fan Shanhu's arrogance.
Fan Shanhu entered the farewell area and ordered two thousand soldiers to head north in a hurry. Most of the soldiers did not even have shoes, and there were only more than a hundred occupied cavalry among them.
The Indochina Peninsula where Linyi is located has a hot and humid climate, and there are no horses in the entire region. The horses in Linyi are mainly imported from outside. Before breaking away from the rule of the Han Dynasty, many southern ponies entered this area to carry people and loads.
After the independence of Linyi State, some horses were left over from the original Rinan County and passed down through breeding and breeding by horse breeders. However, the horses were very short due to environmental factors. Others were bought from southern Jiaozhou and Yizhou.
Fan Shanhu was actually looking forward to the Han army's attack, because he wanted to capture a few tall horses. He was eight feet tall and did not have a suitable mount. This was the most frustrating thing for him in many years.
When the two thousand Zhan troops were approaching Nanheng Mountain, the scouts discovered that there were troops gathering outside the valley to the north. However, these hundreds of 'invaders' were not like the previous descriptions of the rangers: they were all riding tall horses, and they were all well-equipped.
Fan Shanhu's mind was confused after hearing this. The scouts reported that this army did not look like the Han army. Many of them wore animal skin coats, and many of the soldiers had dark skin, but they were generally taller than the Cham people.
They don’t look like Han people, they don’t look like Yue people, they don’t look like Zhan people. Which country are they from? Could it be savages who came over from the mountains in the west?
Fan Shanhu had a head full of questions. He felt confident when facing the weak Han army and the Yue people, but when he encountered a strange alien race, his heart was pounding. However, with an absolute advantage in military strength, he still mustered up the courage to continue. Advance troops.
Half an hour later, the two armies encountered each other on the official road two miles outside the valley. The two armies immediately formed formations to fight, with officers from both sides using different languages to boost morale.
The front group of 500 barbarians led by Shamoko actually had the upper hand in terms of momentum when faced with Fan Shanhu's 2,000 "malnourished" Zhan soldiers due to their racial superiority and sufficient military rations.
Fan Shanhu asked someone to speak in Champa language, Chinese, and the Vietnamese language of Jiuzhen County. Samoko heard the question of General Zhanren from the other party's jerky Chinese.
Which country are you from? Where did it come from? This is the territory of Linyi State. Please lead your troops and leave quickly, otherwise...
Shamoko felt secretly happy when he heard this. It seemed that these short people were guilty, so he sent someone to respond sharply in Wuxi barbarian language, which made the people confused.
There was no language barrier at all, and the opponent was still acting menacingly. Fan Shanhu couldn't help but sent someone to express his meaning with hand gestures. In the end, the two sides actually 'talked' and became a one-on-one duel.
Shamoko took the initiative from the beginning. When he led the opponent into the topic of duel, at that moment he finally realized the joy of Lan Tian. It was really more enjoyable to play with the enemy than to kill him recklessly.
Fan Shanhu rode out of the formation on a pony, holding a spear dragged on the ground. The scene of his feet almost touching the ground was like a strong man who was supposed to be riding a two-eighth pole, riding on a two-eighth pole. Fourteen small bicycles.
That funny look made Samoko couldn't help laughing.
"Beast, this general will keep you from laughing for a while. The horse you sit on is just right for me." Fan Shanhu grabbed the spear and shouted loudly while running.
Shamoko heard the other party's shouting. He raised his thorns and rushed over, shouting disdainfully in barbarian language: "It's a daydream, right? I just want to give you a ride."
When the two horses were about to collide, Fan Shanhu's gaze turned diagonally upward to the left, aiming at Samoko's waist area and stabbing him quickly. When he wanted to swing the gun, he tried to control it, not wanting to hurt his BMW.
Shamoko knew the opponent's intention, and at the moment when the iron gun struck, he twisted his waist and dodged to the right, and took advantage of the situation to grab the handle of the gun with his left hand.
Fan Shanhu found that the iron gun could not penetrate another half inch, and his head suddenly buzzed.
This is impossible? Absolutely impossible, this black guy can actually use one hand...
