Under Xiaoguan in Anding County, there is a river that originates from Longshan Mountain, goes from south to north, and finally flows into the big river that flows through Manyin County.

It is the largest tributary of the river in the Longyou area.

 Because it is opposite to the Luo River that flows from north to south into the Wei River, and the two are similar to each other, it is called the West Luo River.

When the two Han Dynasties were strong, the scope of Anding County included the entire Xiluo River and reached the river bank, and even built a pass on the bank of the river.

 Just because of the same situation as Beidi County, the Hu people continued to move south, coupled with the war in the Central Plains, political corruption and other reasons.

 Cao Wei finally abandoned the area outside Xiaoguan.

At the end of March and beginning of April in the twelfth year of Jianxing, on the bank of the river north of Xiaoguan, at first glance, there was a green carpet that could not be seen.

 As I got closer, I discovered that it was dotted with thousands of flowers of various kinds.

 The slender grass stems reveal light cyan, blue, lavender, yellow, white...

 The cattle, horses and sheep, which have recovered from the winter, are grazing greedily with their heads down.

Occasionally, one or two sheep leave the flock, and soon the sheepdogs rush out and drive the sheep back.

Then the shepherds laughed out loud:

 “What a smart dog!”

“I heard that your Excellency specially traded cattle and horses for them at Feng Langjun’s dog farm. They are the best dogs.”

 “Feng Langjun…”

 There seemed to be some unclear meaning in his tone, but it eventually turned into a sigh.

A dog barked again in the distance. The shepherd looked up and saw a group of people appearing in the south.

 Coming from the south, they were not driving sheep, but mostly Han caravans.

 It’s just that the caravan appears at this time, which always feels a bit strange.

Because in another month, the tribe will send people to Xiaoguan to exchange wool with the Han people for grain, wool and other things.

 What can the caravan do if it comes here at this time?

Shi Bao rode on the horse, pulling the reins from time to time to make the horse trot at a steady pace.

 Behind him were the guards sent by the Liangzhou Governor's Office.

　　Everybody wears armor and carries a bow and sword.

Wherever the horse team passed, birds hiding in the grass were startled from time to time.

 The larger ones flap their wings and fly, even several feet long.

　　Probably after being frightened, the big bird felt very unhappy and hovered over the cavalry and kept chirping.

Shi Bao looked up and muttered:

 “The cry of this bird is very unpleasant.”

The head guard looked up and said:

"If the general doesn't like it, I'm willing to shoot him down."

Shi Bao pointed his whip at the front to greet the barbarian team that came out, and said with a smile:

"If you can hit it, you will do well in the tent tonight."

 The head guard smiled knowingly:

"The general has just arrived here, and I have to be on duty tonight. I'm afraid this good thing may not happen."

 He turned to the other guards around him and said, "If you don't have to be on duty tonight, you can give it a try."

 “Someone is coming!”

 At that moment, people came out enthusiastically.

 At this moment, raise the crossbow with your feet, aim with the upper arrow, and hold your breath for a moment.

 “Bang!”

The noisy bird suddenly stopped, and then it fell from the sky.

 “Color!”

 Everyone shouted loudly.

　　The bird shooter put away his crossbow, whipped the horse's butt, and the strong horse gave a cry, then galloped towards the place where the bird fell.

Then both sides watched the bird landing. The knight, like an ape, turned sideways and picked up the big bird without slowing down the horse's speed.

 The healthy horse turned the corner at the same time and galloped back.

 His archery skills are good, and his riding skills are also good.

 In the eyes of the barbarians opposite, the best eagle shooter in the tribe is probably nothing more than this.

 “Can that eagle be shot down?”

Shi Bao was delighted to see the hunting spirit, and pointed at an eagle in the sky in the distance and asked.

“General, the barbarians have come to greet us.” The head guard reminded him in a low voice, “Isn’t it a little rude?”

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this tribe." Shi Baohun said nonchalantly, "Besides, the barbarians are afraid of power and have no morals."

"If you can show your hand in front of them, they will be in awe and not feel rude."

  Condor shooter is the most prestigious title on the grassland.

It is rumored by the Hu people in Liangzhou that Feng Langjun has countless vulture shooters under his command. Any cavalryman in the army is comparable to the vulture shooters on the grassland. He is the most powerful master in history.

This time, the leader of the guards did not ask anyone in the team to take action.

 Because he knew that except for himself, who was from the Dark Night Camp and specialized in crossbows, the others in the team were unlikely to be able to meet General Shi's requirements.

 He raised his head and looked at the eagle in the sky, and suddenly smiled:

“When Guo Jing of the former Qin Dynasty was serving the Qin State, he killed two birds with one stone and intimidated Hu Yi. Although I am not talented, I am not as good as Guo Jing, but I am still willing to show off the majesty of a Han man in front of Hu Yi!”

After saying this, he grabbed his horse's belly and galloped out of the team. He held a long bow in his hand, nocked an arrow and galloped towards the eagle.

Anding Hu'er knew that the Han cavalrymen could control the horse without using both hands. When he saw a man on horseback controlling the bow with both hands, preparing to shoot the eagle, he was shocked and horrified.

 So everyone’s eyes fell on this person.

 Seeing that the guard leader had arrived at his destination, he made several more circles.

The eagles in the sky seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and immediately wanted to fly away from the danger.

At this moment, there was only a shrill whistle, and the eagle that was about to fly high into the sky paused, and then fell weakly to the ground.

 “The Condor Shooter!”

 “Hero!”

 …

 The barbarians screamed in surprise.

 Emperor Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu for more than 20 years. Hu'er heard that all Han soldiers were afraid of them, so he called them Hanzi, and people called them good men.

　　Exclaiming "hero" is the greatest respect for a Han man at this time.

Shi Bao laughed and then rode his horse towards the barbarian team.

 The leader of the Hu people is unexpectedly a woman who still retains her charm.

She had her hair styled like that of a daughter of the Han family, and wore narrow-sleeved trousers and a petticoat that were popular among migrant workers in the Han Dynasty. She personally led Shi Bao's horse, her eyes moving:

 “Alang, are you here?”

Shi Bao turned over and dismounted, seemingly going to lead the horse, but in fact he touched the woman's hand without leaving any trace, and his voice became a little low and magnetic:

 “Yes, it’s coming!”

The woman licked her lips and looked at the team behind Shi Bao.

 When she saw the silent but extremely oppressive Han army, her eyes shrank slightly.

 But when he saw the big bird and the big eagle on the horse again, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

“Alang’s visit this time seems different from usual?”

 The woman's eyes returned to Shi Bao and she asked.

"Yes, the Lord sent me here specially this time. Apart from you, I also want to go to other places on the grassland, so I brought some people with me."

 The woman's eyes lit up: "Alang, could it be Feng Langjun..."

 “This is not the place to talk, let’s talk back to the tent.”

 “Okay, let’s go this way, Alang.”

With the woman taking the lead, the other Hu people moved to both sides to welcome this small Han army into the clan.

This Hu tribe is the Huns, and they are the tribe of the Huns where Hu Bo, the former leader of the Huns in Anding, served.
