Chapter 113 The cavalry goes north

"General Lu Ji, your Guangzhou navy should be short of those who understand these local languages, right? We will know where they are after asking!" After Murong Yun finished speaking, he turned around to take care of the horses. The horses have been drifting on the sea these days, and the horses have been a little thinner.

Now Murong Yun’s first idea is to find the forage to fill the horse’s stomach. If there is really no, then grab enough food for the horse first, and order Hu Qi around him, “Feed the horse first. If it is not enough, borrow some food from the navy’s ship first, and we can grab things to return it.”

The animal that is most used in human war is actually horses, and it makes sense that horses become mainstream auxiliary weapons for war, because horses are very obedient. Sometimes, even if they know that there is danger, they will move forward as long as the owner desperately urges them.

The Guangzhou Navy was much more busy, setting up camps, making fires and making food, dragging warships, and everyone was busy.

"We can be a little more difficult, but we must take good care of the horses we carry!" Murong Yun obviously had just finished feeding the grass, patted the grass ashes with this hand, and came to Lu Ji to watch the busyness silently, "We can go to the battle then!"

"Will you go out and rob? General Murong, you often do this in northern Xinjiang." Lu Ji implicitly sarcastically and looked down on Murong Yun's way of speaking.

"It should be said that we do it every year. The King of Yan gave us grain, salt and cloth, and we provided slaves, fur and medicinal materials to the King of Yan!" Murong Yun looked at Lu Ji very calmly and smiled, "Earlier, we Xianbei people also robbed the border like the Linyi people. Now one-quarter of the people in the Central Plains among the Murong family. For us, this war is just a place to rob the plunder!"

"General Murong is really honest!" Lu Ji took a deep breath and said, "The King of Yan is really indulging in you."

"It's not a question of indulgence. The borders of the Great Jin Dynasty are so long that they will not send troops just because the border people are robbed. Moreover, we have not settled and will not be found casually! Besides, Youzhou is the vassal of the King of Yan himself. He can't do it like he was in Guangzhou and Jiaozhou. He wished he could emptie the two states and send troops. There was nothing to rob the grassland!"

Murong Yun finally cleaned his hands a little, and said with a friendly smile, "In fact, few people know why the grassland people always go south. There is no inevitable reason, just to survive. Since the King of Yan can treat us equally, there is no need for us to rob. In fact, every tribe knows that the Great Jin Dynasty is much stronger than us."

"But few people can come up with such a simple reason." Murong Yun sighed, "This includes you!"

"General Murong still has such insight!" Lu Ji actually wanted to ask why the other party is different from ordinary Hu people.

"I spent a little longer in Luoyang than General Lu Ji!" Murong Yun seemed to know Lu Ji's doubts and said without hiding it, "Young Master Zhang Hua is famous all over the world, but I actually know him."

This time, Murong Yun had an intuitive understanding of how big the Jin Dynasty was. Although he had this understanding, it was precisely after the two brothers left Luoyang that Murong quickly stopped looting and began to develop himself.

But it cannot be just the leader knows the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty. Ordinary tribes do not have this kind of awareness. Now it is different. When they go south and see many military towns, the eight thousand Hu cavalry have a clear understanding of this gap.

When talking, several Hu Qi came back from outside, with natives tied to their horses. As soon as they approached Fu Li Ke, he lifted his hair and kicked the native who was still struggling off the horse and raised the dust. He spitted, "These natives are as agile as monkeys, short and a little difficult to catch!"

"It's not harder to catch than running away on a horse. Maybe you're unfamiliar!" Murong finished speaking in Xianbei language, tilted his head and looked at Lu Ji, "General, we don't understand Tuyu. How to ask questions depends on you!"

There were five natives who were arrested. Fu Like didn't say nonsense and took people to register directly. The rewards from King Yan must not be forgotten. Lu Ji directly asked the soldiers who knew the local language to come over and ask, "Search one-on-one to ask me where this place is, how far is the distance from Linyi Guodu and Hengshandu?"

This place is one day away from Hengshan and a little further from Linyi Capital. However, this distance cannot be done accurately, because no one knows how far the Linyi people's horses can run in a day, so they can only estimate one.

"The King of Linyi has led the army north. So there should be no one in the capital of Linyi!" Duan Wuze's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Uncle, we will go south and attack, and we may conquer the capital in one fell swoop!"

This idea is actually very tempting, but Murong Yun, who had thought about it, still shook his head, "The navy went south, we rushed north, chased the back of the Linyi King's army, attacked on both sides, and defeated the Linyi army. I know why you want to ask, shut up first, and explain first!"

Seeing Duan Wuze's unhappy look, Murong Yun knew that the other party was going to speak, so he opened his mouth first to shut up. Then he pulled the other party out of the tent and said in a pity, "You can only see some wealth, but not farther away. Do you want to have greater authority in the future?"

"What's wrong with me, uncle!" Duan Wuze had to distinguish his nature. When he saw the taciturn Murong Yun, he got angry, and his aura became weak, and he said in scatteredly, "Is that what it is!"

"The country of Linyi is not big, it seems to be the same tribe as us!" Murong Yun said as he walked, "Even if the population is larger than us, it will not be much. We are catching strong men and women are not strong men. Moreover, I have just heard that the King of Yan is fighting against the King of Linyi. Once the King of Yan dies, the agreement between us will be invalid. Do you know! We are all cavalry, and the navy is infantry. As long as it is completed quickly, there is still time to catch up with the navy going south."

"Are you full of horses? After you have enough, get on the horse and go north with me. I have already found out that there are tens of thousands of natives in the north. Take down these natives with me and tie them up and give them to King Yan!" Murong Yun led the war horse out and shouted at Hu Qi, "Give me hurry up, don't hurry up, your women are waiting to eat dirt this year. We go south and we must be able to catch slaves better than our companions who are still at home!"

These words had a significant effect. Many Hu people quickly picked up swords, guns, bows and arrows. For these Hu cavalry, they have developed a habit in recent years. The brothers who are still at home arrest people on the grassland and go south to arrest people. It is all work.
