Chapter 35 The danger of Macheng

"Brother, why did you stop me just now? Now on the entire grassland, how many tribes have secretly accumulated strength and want to escape from the control of the royal court. At this time, fighting with the Han people would give those people an opportunity to take advantage of it, and Ke Bineng would miss this opportunity?" Leaving the king's tent, Bu Dugen looked at his brother dissatisfied.

"This is Ke Bineng's opportunity, and isn't it the opportunity between you and me?" Kuitou turned around and looked at the direction of the king's tent, with a cold smile on his face.

Bu Dugen was stunned and looked at Kuitou in confusion.

"You won't want to be ordered by Helian like a dog for the rest of your life, right?" Kuitou sneered: "In terms of ability and prestige, my father is the strongest. If my father hadn't died early, how could this Shanyu be allowed to sit in the position of Shanyu? Now that he has become Shanyu, he is targeting you and me everywhere. I have had enough of this day."

"Brother, you want..." Bu Dugen was startled and looked at Kuitou in surprise.

"I don't want anything, do my own thing peacefully. Since he wants to open the Macheng level, we will help him open it. At that time, his retreat will be controlled by us." Kuitou said coldly.

"But..." Bu Dugen was a little worried.

"No, can you and I escape from Helian's control at this moment." Kuitou sneered: "In the future, this Shanyu royal court will belong to you and me! Now, follow me to take down one of the levels in Macheng."

...

Three days later, Macheng was surrounded by Qiushui. Ye Zhao was here to defeat Aguli with his weak force and became famous in the frontier. Later, Ye Zhao settled in Macheng and began to carry out construction. The terrain here is relatively open, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, a pass is established here to prevent foreign enemies from invading. It is also a main road for trade between Hu and Han.

Kuitou dressed up as a Hu businessman, and led a hundred or so people to drive more than a dozen war horses and a large herd of cattle and sheep along the official road of Qiushui toward the direction of the horse city. You can see the three-meter-high pass from afar.

Although the Guancheng is not big, it is limited by the region. If it is a strong attack, even if there is ten or a hundred times the force, it will be difficult to deploy here. Only a hundred people can defend this Guancheng. What's more, the grassland people are all good at fighting horses, and they are not the director of the attack. When they saw this Guancheng, Kuitou couldn't help but exclaim: "If Macheng also has such a high city wall, even if we take this Guancheng, it would be not easy for the army to enter Macheng."

"Why should the leader increase the ambition of others? As long as I give me three hundred people, I will destroy this city!" A warrior said unconvincedly.

"Don't be impulsive, we're here to explore the way." Kuitou shook his head and entered Guancheng along the business trip.

But what surprised him was that the investigation on Guancheng was very slack, and even if they were given money, no one would pay attention to the weapons they carried with them.

"Why are these people so lazy?" Kuitou said puzzledly after looking at the lazy city guards.

It is said that Ye Zhao of Macheng is very powerful, with extremely elite soldiers under his command. He defeated the tribes of Xianbei and Wuhuan several times and even fought with Ke Bi Neng. Ke Bi Neng is also a famous warrior on the grassland, but he failed to get a good advantage here.

A Wuhuan man passing by next to him couldn't help laughing and heard this, "This brother doesn't know that now Macheng has changed its master. The current lord of Macheng does not care about military affairs at all. The army in Macheng is led by a Han general who is proud of Sun De. Since he took office, this road will be difficult to walk."

"What do you mean?" Kuitou asked with a smile.

"Hey, although Ye Zhao was hateful in the past, the rules were extremely strict. The soldiers under his command were absolutely forbidden to collect taxes from past business travelers. As long as he followed his rules, everyone could trade here. Tax nights were only delivered once in Macheng. However, since the new county magistrate took office, he was not as tough as before. However, the tax deducted along the way was more than twice as high as in previous years. Now, I don't know how many people miss Ye Zhao." The Wuhuan man sighed.

"This brother is right in Chinese." Kuitou nodded thoughtfully, walked with this person and asked casually.

"What if you want to make a living in this Macheng, how can you not speak Chinese? In this area of ​​Danhan Mountain, there are not many people who can not speak Chinese, whether it is Wuhuan or Xianbei."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this is nothing, but in Kuitou's eyes, this is a dangerous signal.

Since Tan Shihuai unified the grassland, they have begun to promote Xianbei dialect, preparing to imitate a great emperor of the Han people and promote the language of the Xianbei people. Now, on this vast grassland, no matter where they go, they communicate in Xianbei. Even when the Han people enter the grassland, they have to communicate in Xianbei dialect, which is conducive to the spread of the Xianbei people.

But now, the grasslander Lang wants to communicate in Chinese, and Kuitou couldn't help but feel glad that Ye Zhao was transferred away. Otherwise, as long as this person has been here for ten years, the area of ​​Danhan Mountain or even the wider territory would become the pasture for the Han people.

Not long after the group walked, Kuitou was shocked to find that a pass city appeared in front of him again, just like the previous two.

"This..." Kuitou pointed at Guan Cheng in shock and said, "This place is not Ma Cheng."

"There are 18 levels of Qiushui. As the main road, there are two of them. Those Han people are really stupid." The Wuhuan people shook their heads and sighed.

Stupid?

Anyway, Kuitou only felt glad in his heart now, and he was glad that he had not taken action rashly before. Otherwise, even if he easily captured the previous level, the Xianbei army would be blocked here. These two levels would allow Ye Zhao to ambush both ends of the area where Aguli was. Once the first level received an attack, the second level would still have enough time to respond.

It seems that Wang Ting has collected too little information on Macheng.

To be on guard, Kuitou turned his head and looked at the Wuhuan people and said, "After this, there will be Macheng, are there no other levels?"

"No more, I heard that Ye Zhao was willing to build a cabin outside Macheng. However, he was transferred before it was established. Hey, Ye Zhao didn't know what he was thinking." The Wuhuan man sneered.

Kuitou didn't say anything, and gave a wink at the people around him. The few people understood. A warrior quietly retreated in the horse team, while Kuitou led the horse team to continue moving forward and soon came to the bottom of Guancheng.

Although there were soldiers who investigated, these soldiers were obviously similar to those before, and were even more lazy. As long as they paid the money, they were not even lazy to check, which made Kuitou secretly feel lucky.

"Boom~"

The axle of a carriage pulling goods suddenly broke, and the entire vehicle fell down and was blocked at the city gate. More than a dozen war horses and dozens of cattle and sheep were blocked at the city gate.

"What are you doing?" The team leader in charge of defending the city walked up impatiently, looked down at the leather all over the ground, and put a wolf skin into his arms, while shouting impatiently.

"Our car broke down." Kuitou hurried forward.

"Hurry up and drag it away, don't hinder others!" Team leader said with an impatient look on his face.

"Swish~"

A sound arrow soared into the sky above the Guancheng in the distance. At the same time, a thick wolf smoke appeared on the Guancheng. Seeing this, the team leader changed his face and then the emergency military situation appeared in the level ahead, and the wolf smoke would be released. No matter what the situation occurred, the city gate here must be closed. He turned his head and pulled out his waist knife, and said sternly: "Tow your car away!"

"Okay, I'll drag it!" A hideous smile appeared on Kuitou's face.

"Puchi~" A blade protruded from Gusu's chest, and blood kept dripping along the blade.

A hint of astonishment flashed in the team leader's eyes. In his sight, his soldiers were chopped down one by one by one by the Hu people who suddenly started attacking.

"Roar~"

Further apart, a group of Hu soldiers rode their horses wildly and rushed towards this side.

It's over!

The last thought flashed through the team's heart, and the blade that pierced into his chest from behind was stirred hard. After a few twitches, there was no sound.

"Kill!" Kuitou's sword killed the life of a Han soldier, and led his men to kill Shangguan City first.

When Bu Dugen led the large army into the pass city, the battle here had been resolved. When the Han soldiers guarding the city saw the enemy troops coming, they were already scared. These Yulin soldiers, known as the elite Luoyang, had not encountered a decent war for many years. At this moment, the team leader was killed and was already panicked. Seeing the opponent's large team of troops attacking, they were not in a mood to defend the pass city and flee one by one. In less than a cup of tea, the living Han soldiers had already run away, allowing Kuitou to easily occupy this level that consumed a lot of Ye Zhao's efforts.
