Chapter 811: The First Arrival of the Han Cavalry

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Bian Shu hurriedly ran out of the tent and walked towards Er Chi Ning, "What's going on?" Bian Shu waved his arms and asked loudly, "Why did you catch the scout of the Han army?"

Chi Ning really despised his father's timidity, and he snorted: "If we don't arrest them, will the matter of our robbery of that town be passed on to Guanzhong?"

Bian Shu's face turned red, and he asked Er to lead his army to the south of Liupanshan to plunder food and property. He only planned to fight and decide quickly. Unexpectedly, he actually met the scout of the Han army. It was not possible to arrest him, nor could he not arrest him. Bian Shu stood there for a while and said to Er, "Since you have arrested, there is no way. Don't hurt them for the time being, just hold them in a hurry. I'll ask."

Chi Ning turned around and gave a few instructions. Several soldiers rushed away. Bian Shu was upset and turned back to the big tent. Er Chi Ning followed in and said, "What are my father afraid of? There are the Huns behind him. If the Han army comes, let the Huns fight."

Bian Shu sighed, "Things are not that simple. Liu Qubei is famous for his evil spirits. He had long wanted to swallow our Wuhuan, but he was afraid that he would take this opportunity to let us fight against the Han army. In the end, he came to pick up the fallen eagle and eat our subordinates."

"What did Luxi say? Didn't he call himself King Wuhuan? At this time, he should have come forward." Chi Ning frowned.

Bian Shu still shook his head, "We usually ignore him, but it is impossible to expect him to stand up at this time. I only hope that the Han army will send troops to the county and let Lu Xi come to ask us."

As the father and the two were talking, several soldiers pushed the Han army scout Wei Jin in. Wei Jin stood up straight, looked up at the tent without saying a word, Chi Ning was furious, pulled out the knife and pressed his neck, shouting: "Do you think I dare not kill you?"

"Put down the knife"

Bian Shu shouted angrily, "Get out."

Chi Ning snorted heavily, put away the knife and returned to the sheath, turned around and rushed away from the tent angrily. Bian Shu walked forward and smiled in skillful Chinese: "I think it should be a misunderstanding. Please don't take this general to heart."

"Misunderstand"

Wei Jin sneered disdainfully: "Your army killed and robbed people in that town, and we were hit by us. You are afraid that the scandal will be exposed, so you arrested us. I don't understand, there is no misunderstanding."

Bian Shu sighed, "I'm not hiding it from General. We crossed Liupan Mountain, not to kill and rob, but to capture the tribesmen who fled south. As a result, the military discipline was not strict, which led to violations of discipline. I will punish you severely. Secondly, they arrested you because they saw the Han army in the Liupan Mountain area. They thought your army was going to be detrimental to us, so I said it might be a misunderstanding."

Wei Jin shook his head and said, "The south of Liupan Mountain belongs to Guanzhong. It is natural for us to patrol the border and it is not unfavorable to you. Instead, you cross the border without authorization and arrest the patrol soldiers. This is an act of hostility. If it is really a misunderstanding you said, please let us go back immediately and then send someone to explain the reasons for crossing the border. This may avoid war. I will say so much, you can think about it yourself."

Bian Shu was really embarrassed. The so-called misunderstanding was just something he said. He wanted to draw out the other party's plan to send troops from the Han army and let the other party go back like this, but he was unwilling to give up. He thought about it and said, "You have never patrol the side of Xiaoguan. Why did this appear? I can only understand that you are preparing to send troops. I have no intention of being an enemy with you, but if you must send troops to attack my tribe, I will mobilize tribal cavalry and fight to the death with you."

Wei Jin sneered, turned his head and looked out of the tent, too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, Bian Shu asked again, but Wei Jin just ignored him, helpless, Bian Shu had to order his left and right to take him down. At this time, Chi Ning entered the tent again and said, "Father, you must be careful of others. If we don't prepare early, once the Han army arrives, we will worry about extermination of the clan."

Although Bian Shu begged God to let the Han army kill to Shangjun, the appearance of the Han army scout cavalry made him realize that the Han army might have to go out of the frontier with Xiaoguan Road. If so, they were indeed in danger. Bian Shu had no independent opinions and had to sigh and said, "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"

"It's very simple. We retreated women, children, elderly and weak to Shui County, and the children personally led 7,000 elite troops to defend Xiaoguan. If the Han army really went out of Xiaoguan, we could ask for help from the Huns in time. If the Han army went to the county, then we could also lead the army to rescue Luxi and take the opportunity to swallow his subordinates."

Shui County is located in Yuli in the north of Gaoping County, and is also a county town they control. The terrain is relatively lateral and it can indeed move the elderly, women and children first. However, what Bian Shu thought of was to negotiate with the Han army. If the negotiations were successful, they could continue to stay in Gaoping. If the negotiations failed, they could also withdraw from Shui County, so that they could take the initiative.

Thinking of this, Bian Shu nodded, "Just follow your plan."

.........

A few days later, a Han cavalry of about 6,000 people arrived in Wushi County. The cavalry was commanded by the side general Pang De. Pang De was transferred from Xiangyang to Chang'an at the beginning of last year and served as the commander of the Xiliu Camp, responsible for training cavalry. In the past six months, he led 15,000 cavalry to the Xihai Plateau for training, and it was not until last month that he led his army back to Guanzhong.

Pang De received a report from a scout a few days ago that a Wuhuan cavalry crossed Liupan Mountain and entered the Guanzhong area to kill and rob. This found an excuse for the Han army to send troops. Liu Jing immediately wanted to order Pang De to send troops to capture Xiaoguan.

Wushi County is a small county with a small city and a population of only a few thousand. It mainly farms and farms. Half of the population are from Wuhuan people. The border sects sent troops across Liupan Mountain to loot on the pretext of recovering these Wuhuan people.

As soon as Pang De's army arrived in Wushi County, Bianshu sent envoys to send back the ten Han army scouts he captured and ordered the envoys to send a message to the Han army to explain the reasons why the Wuhuan army crossed the border.

Pang De sent the envoy and ordered someone to find the scout Marquis Wei Jin. Wei Jin stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "See General Pang"

Pang De was familiar with every military officer or above. He also knew Wei Jin, a younger brother of Jingzhao, who studied first and then joined the army. The rare Wu Shuangquan officer in the army was originally a subordinate of Zhong Yao. He was highly valued by Zhong Yao. He was captured in Chencang and surrendered to the Han army. After surrendering to the Han army, he was transferred to the scout team. He worked hard during training on the West Sea Plateau, which left a deep impression on Pang De.

Pang De opened Wei Jin to draw the map and asked lightly for a while: "Why do you want the soldiers to give up resistance when they are surrounded?"

Wei Jin clasped his fists and said, "Report to the general, his humble position and his subordinates are scouts. The scout's duty is to investigate the enemy's movements, understand the terrain, be familiar with the enemy's deployment, and perhaps eliminate the enemy's probe, show off his courage and act as a savage man to resist, be in a secluded way, and know that the military situation is lost in the mountains and fields. This is by no means a competent scout, nor a qualified general."
