Liu Yu and Gongsun Sheng thought that the southern end of Liaodong County was an area that Murong Xianbei ignored. In fact, Murong Xianbei had always controlled this area.
Although none of these people from the Xianbei Mountains were familiar with the navy, they also knew that the Han army was across the sea from Liaodong County.
Murong Xian, the leader of Murong Xianbei, was also aware of this and paid sufficient attention to it.
His younger brother Murong Yun was appointed by him as General Zhenglu, responsible for guarding the south and east of Liaodong County near Dongping Prefecture.
Among them, the Mashijin area was the area under Murong Yun's jurisdiction.
However, Murong Xianbei did not have much naval force, and there was no fertile land on the seaside. He could only collect some dried fish and other seafood, so he rarely appeared on the seaside in southern Liaoning.
As a result, the Donglai navy, which often took ships to explore the surrounding areas, had a wrong estimate of Murong Xianbei's military strength here.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly.
The younger brother of Murong Xin, the king of Liaodong County in the Jin Dynasty, Murong Yun, the conquest general, happened to lead his men to inspect the Mashijin area.
There are some Han people living in this area, and because they often go fishing in the sea, they can still collect a lot of catches.
After a day of inspection, the cavalry behind the general Murong Yun had already filled their horses.
Although they are cheap items such as salted fish and scallops, they are the only source of income for the Han people nearby.
"General, there are two villages further ahead, but they are both salt brine areas near the sea. Apart from getting some salted fish, there won't be much there."
A small Xianbei leader who was familiar with the local situation said to Murong Yun.
"Where is the front?"
Murong Yun raised his eyes and looked ahead and asked him.
"It's called Ma Shijin." The Xianbei leader replied.
"Ma Shijin?"
When Murong Yun heard this name, he frowned.
He knew that Mashijin was facing the sea on both sides. Not only were there strong winds and waves throughout the year, but there were also frequent ice and snow disasters. It was a poor place at all times.
When he thought of this, Murong Yun lost all interest.
After all, if you want to go forward, you still have to climb at least two mountains.
If it were not for his responsibilities, Murong Yun would not want to stay here any longer.
"Send a few people to wander around, and I won't go there myself."
After Murong Yun said this, he turned his horse's head and walked back.
The general next to him immediately took the order and selected seven or eight Xianbei cavalry and asked them to wander around Ma Shijin in front.
No matter whether you are rich or poor, you still want to declare the sovereignty of the Liaodong County of the Great Jin Dynasty over this place.
General Murong Yun led his men back to the largest city nearby.
This city is called a city, but in fact it is not as good as the slightly larger powerful Wubao in the Central Plains.
Liaodong is sparsely populated, so the city is naturally not big.
Several local Han tycoons spent almost everything they had at home to worship the local overlord of Liaodong County.
Fortunately, Murong Xin, the prince of Liaodong County, treated the Han people with both kindness and power, so he would not do anything extraordinary easily.
Therefore, all Murong Yun did here was to eat and drink, and then sleep under the covers with his two clumsy maids in his arms.
As for higher-level luxurious enjoyment, don’t even think about it.
Soon, Murong Yun and a group of Xianbei generals under his command became very excited about drinking. Everyone was drinking and shouting, so happy.
The few powerful Han people who were waiting on the side all forced out smiles. They just wanted to take care of these Xianbei uncles as soon as possible. They would have to leave tomorrow.
Just when everyone was drunk and eager, a follower of Murong Yun hurriedly barged in.
"General, it's bad, something bad is going to happen!"
The entourage suddenly shouted and yelled, which instantly took away half of Murong Yun's happiness.
He had a displeased look on his face and scolded him angrily.
"Why panic!"
The attendant saw Murong Yun was angry and hurriedly explained.
"General, the few people we just sent to Ma Shijin were attacked. Most of them were killed or injured. Only two people escaped!"
"What? Say it again?" When Murong Yun heard this, he was immediately surprised and even doubted whether his ears heard it wrong.
With the poverty in the Mashijin area, those old Han farmers must have been so stupid that they dared to kill their own soldiers.
At most, the soldiers under his command just asked for some rotten fish and shrimps. How could they commit murder?
"General, many of the soldiers we sent were killed, and only two escaped." The attendant repeated with a grimace.
When the Xianbei people in the room heard this, they all drew out their swords and started yelling.
All of them were those untouchables who went to kill all of Ma Shijin.
When the powerful Han men nearby saw this, they all shrank their necks and quietly hid behind.
"Bring those two people over here." Murong Yun immediately said with a gloomy face.
He started riding horses into battle to kill enemies at the age of fourteen. He has experienced maybe eighty if not a hundred battles.
He knew very well the level of the cavalry athletes under his command.
Not to mention the untouchables of Ma Shijin who only know how to farm and fish, even the soldiers of Goguryeo and Kuntou are not as good as these own cavalry.
How could such a group of battle-hardened cavalry be killed by a group of peasants?
Soon, two disgraced men were brought in.
As soon as they saw Murong Yun, the two Xianbei cavalrymen knelt on the ground and kowtowed in apology.
"Who attacked you?" Murong Yun asked in a cold voice.
When the two lucky ones who escaped heard this, they both looked at each other, and then shook their heads together.
"General, we don't know who he is."
"Just knowing which people have strong bows and crossbows, just one volley will kill most of us."
After hearing these two sentences, Murong Yun immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
If more than half of the people can be killed in one round of arrows, the enemy's powerful bows and crossbows must have at least the same number of casualties.
And even ordinary people may not even have an ordinary soft bow, let alone the Han people in Ma Shijin.
"Are there any big families in Ma Shijin area?" Murong Yun immediately asked around.
The first thing he thought of was that the powerful leaders in the Mashijin area had rebelled. Otherwise, how could there be any strong bows and crossbows?
Several Xianbei generals and Han powerful men all shook their heads when they heard this.
One of the Han Xiaoqiang said in a very attentive manner.
"General, there are only more than a hundred Guizhou households in the Ma Shijin area, just cultivating some thin fields. There have never been any big families."
These local powerful people are most familiar with the situation in the Mashijin area.
The Han people in Mashijin are all refugees who fled from the Central Plains.
After these people came here, they neither accepted the government's serf-like settlement nor became a tribe of local powerful farmers, so they had no choice but to go to remote corners of the world like Mashijin.
"That's really strange. Who is he?" Murong Yun frowned.
He immediately asked the two Xianbei soldiers who had escaped.
The two Xianbei cavalrymen who came back from escaping said that after their group arrived in the Nama Shijin area, they found a new rammed-earth fort in front of them.
At that time, a group of Xianbei cavalry felt strange and stepped forward to check.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached, more than a dozen arrows were shot out from behind the low wall of the originally silent Wubao.
Several Xianbei cavalrymen died on the spot, and two others were shot to death from their mounts, and then fell off their horses. Before they had time to get up, they were shot by a barrage of arrows. As for life or death, they no longer knew.
Anyway, these two people ran away without looking back. As for more detailed information, I'm afraid they can only wait for General Murong Yun to check it out in person.
"waste!"
"Everything is trash!"
Murong Yun immediately cursed, these two idiots didn't even see the enemy's face, and ran back in such a mess.
After finishing the scolding, Murong Yun still felt that it was not enough, so he rushed forward again and kicked each of them to the ground.
"General, please spare my life. At that time, I only heard loud shouts of killing from behind, and I didn't dare to look back."
After hearing these useless excuses, Murong Yun kicked him hard twice before giving up.
"General, why don't I go check it out again?"
A Xianbei general immediately came up and asked.
When Murong Yun heard this, he waved his hand.
"No, I'm going to take a look for myself, General!"
"I want to see who the thief is!"
A moment later, hundreds of Xianbei cavalry were ready for battle.
Under the leadership of the conquering general Murong Yun, they attacked Ma Shijin in a mighty manner.
After a lot of galloping, we finally arrived at our destination when the sun was setting in the west.
"General, look, that's where it is."
The two 'deserters' who were responsible for bringing them stretched their arms and pointed forward.
Murong Yun's eyes followed the situation and saw a dock on a gentle hillside under the sunlight.
The road below the hillside is just within the attack range of this fort.
Murong Yun looked carefully again, but he was immediately angry and felt a wave of anger in his heart.
"Where did this thief come from? He's looking for death!" Murong Yun said fiercely through gritted teeth.
It turned out that Murong Yun took a closer look and happened to see a few fresh human heads hanging on the wall of the fort.
It was none other than the subordinates who were killed today.
"General, let us crush these thieves!"
Several Xianbei generals shouted angrily.
"Don't be rash. Someone, come and ask for me, General, where this madman came from." Murong Yun took a deep breath and ordered to the entourage beside him.
He already had some bad premonitions and was trying his best to suppress his impulse.
At least find out the other person's origins first before talking.
A Xianbei cavalryman immediately raised a light yellow plain flag and rode forward.
