Murong Yun was mainly responsible for the defense direction of Dongping Prefecture, which was the former four counties of Han Dynasty.
The Han army there was flying this red black dragon flag.
The Han army in Dongping Prefecture called this the "Huanghan Xuanlong Banner".
"General, these Qingzhou thieves actually came here?"
A Xianbei general said in surprise after hearing Murong Yun's words.
They never expected that in a remote and remote place like Mashijin, where even Xianbei despised poverty, the Qingzhou Han army would come across the sea.
"No, they probably aren't here to plunder."
Murong Yun said with a serious expression.
If the Han army came to plunder Liaodong County, they would definitely go to a wealthy city or around a village.
In that case, it would not only be food and money, but also many men and women.
There are only a few living people in Mashijin, so how could the Han army come here to plunder.
Then there is only one possibility.
"These Qingzhou thieves are here to steal territory!"
Murong Yun almost said these words through gritted teeth.
The Wubao on the opposite hillside is obviously a newly built city. The Qingzhou thieves want to control the surrounding roads.
As long as these forts and walls are built, the area south of Mashijin will no longer be under the control of the Murong family.
At this time, all the Han troops on the opposite side had completed their formation on the hillside.
Murong Yun squinted his eyes and made a quick estimate.
There were about a thousand people, but he didn't see any cavalry, but he knew that the Qingzhou thief Liu Yu had surrendered Kuntou and Suotou Xianbei, and there was no shortage of horses.
"Maybe their cavalry are hiding behind the hillside, waiting for me to attack, and then take advantage of the chaos to sneak up on me!"
Murong Yun immediately thought of the enemy's possible conspiracy.
At this time, the Xianbei cavalry he sent out was about to reach the front of the Han army.
Murong Yun thought silently in his heart that he should first find out the enemy's intention today. As for whether to continue fighting, he should let his brother Murong Xin make the decision.
Under the gaze of hundreds of Xianbei people in the distance, the red black dragon flag fluttering in the wind made a whirring sound.
Gao Yi, who was under the banner, stared calmly at the Xianbei rider running ahead.
At this time, a subordinate next to him asked him.
"Military Commander, a Xianbei is here. Do you want to give him an arrow?"
As he spoke, he shook the bow and arrow in his hand.
Gao Yi rolled his eyes at him and said with some dissatisfaction.
"If someone is flying a plain flag and shoots cold arrows, wouldn't it be too shabby?"
The subordinate had no choice but to put down the bow and arrow in his hand angrily.
At this time, the riders from the Murong tribe holding plain flags had also arrived at the bottom of the hillside.
They started shouting loudly from a distance of about forty or fifty steps.
"I am under the command of General Zhenglu of the Great Jin Dynasty, and there are so many people across from me. Why did you invade my land and kill my soldiers?"
The Murong cavalryman first shouted in Xianbei dialect, and then shouted again in a strange copycat Heluo tone.
"General Zhenglu? Who is he?"
Under the gaze of the Han soldiers on both sides, Gao Yi took a step forward, walked to the front of the formation and shouted loudly.
Upon seeing this, the Murong cavalryman knew that this was the leader of the 'invaders' and shouted loudly at Gao Yi.
"Murong Yun, General of the Great Jin Dynasty!"
After hearing the name, Gao Yi didn't even frown, and suddenly became wary.
"Murong Yun, that is Murong Xin's younger brother."
A guard with short hair on top and braids on the sides said in Gao Yi's ear.
"That's the big boss of Murong's tribe. There might be a large group of enemy troops behind him."
Gao Yi immediately prepared to fight at any time.
"I am Gao Yi, the prefect of Sanshan County of the Han Dynasty. I will go back and tell Murong Yun that from today on, Ma Shijin is the land of the Han Dynasty. Anyone who dares to trespass will be shot to death!"
After Gao Yi said that, he pointed at the heads hanging on the dock not far away and shouted again.
"If you don't listen, this is what will happen!"
Afterwards, the Han troops behind Gao Yi raised their weapons high and mocked the victor.
Murong Xianbei's cavalry did not react at all, but quickly turned their horses' heads and ran back.
"How about it, what is the Qingzhou thief opposite here doing?"
As soon as he saw Murong Yun, the cavalryman who sent the message was questioned.
"Report to the general, the right thieves are Qingzhou, they want to steal the land!"
Immediately, the Xianbei cavalry recounted the brief conversation to Murong Yun.
After listening to it, several Xianbei generals around them all showed doubts.
"Sanshan County, why have you never heard of it?"
"Gao Yi, the governor of Sanshan County? Where did he come from?"
Murong Yun snorted coldly.
"Sanshan County?"
"Hmph, these Qingzhou thieves regard Mashijin as their three counties."
After Murong Yun finished speaking, he pointed to the mountains in the distance to the south.
I saw exactly three of the most conspicuous mountains in the distance, on the land between the seas on both sides.
"These Qingzhou thieves are just looking for death!"
"General, let's go back and mobilize our troops and crush them!"
Several generals yelled viciously.
Murong Yun did not answer immediately, but continued to ask.
"Can you find out how many soldiers and horses the enemy has?"
"The villain doesn't know!"
"Does the thief have cavalry?"
"I don't know either."
After getting two 'I don't know's, Murong Yun lost interest in continuing to ask questions.
The Han army on the opposite side occupies the only main road, and there are obstacles on both sides. If it extends to both sides, there will be rough seas.
"We don't know the enemy's situation, so we can't act rashly. Let's retreat first."
Murong Yun immediately left a dozen cavalrymen to continue monitoring, and then returned with his own guards.
The Xianbei cavalry that came in a mighty force then left in a mighty force, but Gao Yi never relaxed his vigilance in his heart.
"Military leader, the thieves ran away in fear." A general shouted.
"No, they didn't run away. They should have gone back to mobilize more soldiers." The sergeant with short hair said.
"Yu Wenzhong, take a few people with you to drive away the thieves who are following you." Gao Yi said.
The short-haired sergeant named Yu Wenzhong immediately took the order and left.
With the sound of horse hoofbeats, a dozen cavalrymen rushed out from behind the hillside and rushed straight towards the few Murong Xianbei cavalrymen who stayed in place.
Seeing that the enemy came to kill them without saying a word, Murong Xianbei's cavalry did not dare to continue to follow them, and they all ran north in unison.
Looking at Murong Xianbei's cavalry being driven into the distance, Gao Yi felt a little relaxed.
Gao Yi was originally from Donglai, Qingzhou. Although his uncle was a bandit in Changguang Mountain when he was young, he later defected to Liu Bogen to rebel and was assigned to Liu Yu's command.
Because he was too young at the time, he never received much credit.
It was just that when Liu Yu formed the Young Yulin Soldiers, he was selected because of his suitable age.
Liu Yu wanted to drive a nail in Liaodong County this time and needed a suitable leader, so he happened to choose his old subordinate Gao Yi.
Immediately, Gao Yi led more than a thousand people to Mashijin in the name of the prefect of Sanshan County in Pingzhou of the Han Dynasty and the general against the bandits.
"Military leader, if a thief comes with a large army, what should we do?" asked a general.
A look of disdain immediately appeared on Gao Yi's mature face.
"As long as we follow His Majesty's request and build the forts and city walls and ditches here, it will be difficult for Murong Yun to attack even if he brings in a large army."
"What's more, Ma Shijin, oh no, Sanshan County is far away from Pingzhou City. Even if Murong Xianbei wants to mobilize a large army, it won't take more than a month to come back."
"With a month's time, we will definitely be able to build it."
Gao Yi is very confident about Mashijin to be built.
"What if they come back soon?" the general asked again.
The hundreds of Xianbei cavalry just now were already quite powerful. If they were to attack suddenly, they would be enough to kill more than a thousand Han troops.
"What are you afraid of? As long as you are alert, thieves will not even think of a sneak attack."
After Gao Yi said that, he ignored it.
After the Xianbei cavalry retreated, all the Han soldiers returned to their respective positions and went about their work.
At this time, several men with panicked expressions came out of the Wubao not far away.
As soon as these people saw Gao Yi, they immediately became a little excited.
"General, have all the Xianbei slaves left?"
"Is it really there?"
Looking at these panicked faces, Gao Yi felt a sense of pride in his heart.
He said angrily that the hundreds of Xianbei cavalry just now were so frightened that they fled without fighting after seeing the majesty of the Han army soldiers.
These Han people were immediately moved to tears, holding each other's hands and congratulating each other.
"Great, really great!"
"God, after so many years, I finally no longer worry about being robbed by Xianbei."
These people continued to ask Gao Yi.
"General, will those Xianbei slaves come back in the future?"
Gao Yi nodded firmly.
"Of course when we come back, Murong Xuan has always regarded Liaodong as his private property. Now that we have seized Ma Shijin, we will definitely send troops to retake it."
When these common people heard this, their faces were full of panic.
"What should we do?"
"What should we do? Of course we do!"
After Gao Yi said that, he pulled out his saber with a clang, and then continued.
"Let's kill some thieves if they come!"
Those Han people all looked embarrassed.
"But we don't have swords and guns. Even if we did, we would definitely not be a match for the Xianbei bandits."
Gao Yi has already been prepared for this.
"Don't worry, the emperor of Han Dynasty has already thought of it."
"We only need to build the forts and high walls here. Then no matter how many Xianbei people come, they will never be able to get past Ma Shijin."
"Okay, okay, let's repair Mashijin Pass immediately!"
"However, your manpower is still too few. I, the general, need more people." Gao Yi said.
"For those who come to build and farm, they will be given one day's rations until the wall is repaired!"
Several people and common people immediately helped and offered suggestions.
"General, if you go further north fifteen miles up the mountain, there is a large city with a population of several thousand people!"
"Then are you willing to lead the way?"
"It's okay to lead the way, but the place should be occupied by the Xianbei people now. Even if they go there, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything."
"This is not a problem. As long as we can find enough people, it doesn't matter even if there are a few Xianbei people.",
