Han counter current

When he saw his falcon hovering in the sky ahead, Meng Zhan knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Using falcons to inquire about the military situation is an ancient skill that not everyone can learn. As the son of the leader of the Qin tribe, Meng Zhan also learned this skill by chance.

The first thing that came into view was a Xianbei cavalry with no formation and no command. The number was about 1000, and all the Xianbei cavalry rushed for their lives.

However, the cavalry who fell behind were blocked by their companions, and their mounts really couldn't speed up, so they were all shot by arrows one by one.

Another brave cavalry followed the Xianbei cavalry more than 50 steps away. They bent their bows and set arrows, aimed at their opponents, and then shot deadly arrows one by one.

"How could this be? Didn't it mean that there were more than 2000 Xianbei cavalry?"

Meng Zhan was a little curious about the situation in front of him. He was sure that his spies would not lie, but how long did it take for Xianbei cavalry to lose half?

"It's better to take advantage of it, warriors, kill..."

There are pursuers behind and strong enemies in front. Facing such a desperate situation, these Xianbei cavalry with weak fighting spirit have nothing to do but surrender.

But those who really had the courage to fight for their lives have already fallen, and few of the remaining cavalry are willing to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Half an hour later, all the Xianbei cavalry were defeated, and the Liaoxi cavalry and the Qin cavalry were hunting and defeating the enemy all over the mountains and plains. The soldiers on both sides even had a dispute over the spoils.

"Are you the reinforcement sent by Chief Qin?"

Looking at Meng Zhan with a calm face, Cao Xing nodded secretly, he could see that this guy was not simple.

"My name is Meng Zhan, and these 2000 people are all warriors of my tribe."

"I can see that there are really few who dare to grab the spoils from my subordinates. Pass down the order and tell the brothers to leave some good things for these brothers. It's your own people not to grab too much, hahaha,,,,, ,"

Two generals who are proud of robbery, and two fierce and violent cavalry, encountered such a combination, I don't know how those Xianbei cavalry would feel.

Who would have thought that such a group of robbers would come to the grasslands with harsh living conditions.

Chapter 161

Summer has come to an end, and before the weather turns cold, caravans are always coming and going to and from western Liaoning.

Caravans in this era mostly used horse-drawn carts or livestock to carry goods, so factors such as whether the roads were level and whether there were bandits along the way would affect the business of the caravan.

Therefore, it is not that simple for a businessman to do a good job. After all, there are too many limiting factors, and productivity determines everything.

Fortunately, General Lou Chuan in western Liaoning has considered these things for them. Many caravans entering the territory of western Liaoning have discovered a strange phenomenon.

The originally impoverished western Liaoning has now built roads extending in all directions.

Many roads are paved with the legendary cement unique to western Liaoning. The road surface is smooth and clean, and each section of the road is managed, cleaned or maintained by specific personnel.

More importantly, this kind of road is convenient for horse-drawn carriages, so as long as the caravan enters the west of Liaoning, its walking speed can be increased by more than three times.

Coupled with the fact that there are inns, restaurants and other resting places along the way, more and more caravans find it a pleasure to do business in western Liaoning.

Not being able to do business is not knowing the troubles involved. Only businessmen who have traveled far and wide understand the benefits of a good road.

There is another strange phenomenon that also comforts these caravans.

The north has not been very peaceful since ancient times, especially the barbarians on the grassland, often sneaking across the border in small groups to enter Youzhou, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other places to plunder, and those large and small caravans are their last Prefers to loot.

But now, as long as it is in the west of Liaoning, there is absolutely no barbarian who dares to mess around, let alone a looting team.

On the other hand, the cavalry team in western Liaoning galloped past every now and then, as if they were patrolling or training.

In the first three months, two Xianbei tribes did not believe in this evil, and even sent a few cavalry into western Liaoning to plunder. As a result, they were retaliated by the defenders of western Liaoning after they robbed several caravans.

All the invading Xianbei cavalry were killed, and their bodies were nailed to stakes or trees.

As for the damaged caravans, General Lou Chuan paid [-]% of the payment according to the actual situation. Take responsibility for their safety.

"Hey, look, there is another herd of cattle and sheep, and there seem to be a lot of horses..."

On the road, the leader of a caravan pointed to the herds of livestock that appeared in the distance.

"This is already the fifth batch today. Since we entered the west of Liaoning yesterday, we have seen many groups of cattle and sheep being driven to the west of Liaoning. Is this the grassland tribes coming to do business?

This business is too big, even lambs, colts, and cowboys are brought in. "

"Who knows, but brother, wouldn't it be better, then we can trade more livestock."

The leader of another caravan also rushed over to check the situation: "However, to be honest, this Liaoxi is very good, but there is one thing that is not good. Our foreign businessmen can't directly trade livestock with the Hu people. The Hu people on the grassland You can’t sell livestock to us directly, you have to go through the Liaoxi Trading Station.”

"Come on, brother, by the accent, you are from Qingxu, right? General Lou Chuan can build such a large trading market in western Liaoning, which is already very good.

If you are really asked to trade livestock with barbarians, can you guarantee that they don't do business with swords?They are probably worried that you will cheat them.

After traveling with the caravan for so many years, I have experienced life and death several times. Hey, when the barbarians show their weapons, it is too late to cry.

So, people can't be greedy, we have already made a lot of money from this trip, and it's not all because of the name of the General of Liaoxi.

So, it's normal for Liaoxi to make money.It's better than risking our own lives to do business on the grassland. In western Liaoning, at least life and goods are guaranteed. "

"That's true. Hey, it's strange. You said that so many livestock were driven from the grasslands, so those Hu tribes would not be tempted? What if they plundered outside the west of Liaoning?

Brother let me tell the truth.Don't laugh at me, seeing so many livestock, anyway, my heart is moved. "

"If they still have the guts, I guess General Lou Chuan will make a big fuss. Didn't you hear about the incident in the past three months? It's a big fuss?

Hehe, if you have the guts, hehe, brother, your wife is probably going to be a widow. "

"You mean that the two Xianbei tribes sent cavalry into western Liaoning to plunder, and at the same time plundered the grassland tribes that wanted to trade with western Liaoning?"

"Well, I heard that many people died in the end. The road from the north to the west of Liaoning is covered with corpses. They are all Xianbei people, mostly young and strong men."

"Hey, brother, I wasn't here during that time, and I don't know much about this matter, so tell me what's going on, so many dead people hanging by the roadside, it's too scary, isn't it, General Lou Chuan? It's brutal."

"Cruel? Hmph, if those Xianbei people robbed your caravan, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that.

Speaking of that incident, hehe, the two tribes counted more than 5000 adult men in their own tribes, and they allocated 3000 people to plunder the grassland tribes near western Liaoning.

Later, they made such a fuss that they even entered the territory of western Liaoning to plunder the caravan. As a result, the incident became more and more troublesome. General Lou Chuan dispatched [-] cavalry in one day.

Then he called on all the grassland tribes with good relations in the west of Liaoning to help. I heard that General Gongsun in Liaodong also made a move.

Hehe, that battle, tsk tsk, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is earth-shattering, how many years have passed, how has my Han family athlete been so mighty?

When I think about it now, my blood boils, people are alive, this is how it should be, we Han people must not be bullied.

As a result, you should have heard that the team of Xianbei cavalry that entered the west of Liaoxi all died in the territory of Liaoxi, but General Louchuan didn't stop.

These two tribes no longer exist. As for the original pastures of those two tribes, they were divided up by the grassland tribes that participated in this war. "
