My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 23 Huang Yi's Shock

"Don't rush. Look at how excited these Hu people are when they see our caravan. They must have done similar things a lot in their daily lives. We can't let them get away with it this easy." Lu Yi snorted coldly as he looked at the Hu captives who were brought to him by Gao Shun and knelt down on the ground with their heads down. He said angrily, "It just so happens that the battlefield nearby has not been cleaned up yet. Gao Shun, lead your cavalry to help them clean up the battlefield first."

"Yes!" Gao Shun took the order and immediately kicked the nearest Hu prisoner. He beat and scolded them and took them to clean up the battlefield.

The Hu people feared power but not virtue. After being defeated in the battle, they were like defeated roosters. They dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction and followed Gao Shun obediently.

"Zhang Jia, please collect all the spoils and register them in a book, and hand them over to me for inspection later!"

"Yes, sir." Zhang Jia nodded. These things were part of his job. He immediately took his accountant with him and left.

"Let's go and meet Hatler, the young chief of the Hunye tribe. Maybe this will greatly shorten the time of this business trip!"

"Oh? I didn't expect that we actually rescued a young chief of the Huns tribe this time?" Lu Bu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

The Hunye tribe was a small Xiongnu tribe close to the Great Wall. It had hundreds of herdsmen and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and was quite famous in Bingzhou.

"Hatler greets his benefactor, I wonder how he will deal with us?" When Hatler saw Lu Yi coming with Lu Bu and others, he felt excited but also a little nervous.

The Hu people often raided the Han territory and plundered it. Naturally, the Han soldiers would not show mercy when they encountered the Hu tribes who did not fight back, and would do just as much evil as them.

While Hartler admired Lu Yi, he was also very worried that he was a person without bottom line.

However, no matter what Lu Yi's character was, now these twenty-something people had just fled for dozens of miles and were all injured. They could not escape from Lu Yi's grasp at all and could only lower their posture and let himself be slaughtered.

"Don't worry, Young Chief Hatler. I, Lu Yi, am not a bloodthirsty person. If the people from the Zhade tribe had not wanted to rob my caravan, I would not have fought back in self-defense." Lu Yi helped Hatler up with a smile on his face, which made him feel at ease.

"Young Chief, you must be hungry and thirsty after a long journey. Come with me to the camp. I have sweet wine and millet rice in my camp."

Lu Yi said this, and without waiting for Hatterer to refuse, he grabbed his hand and went to the camp.

"Also, these warriors of the Hunye tribe must be taken care of properly. Hou Cheng, go to the camp and get some food to distribute to them."

"Yes!" Hou Cheng took the order and left.

"This Han Chinese is really enthusiastic. It looks like my life is saved!"

"But isn't your enthusiasm a bit too much?"

Looking at Lu Yi, who enthusiastically held his hand and was about to take him back to the camp to drink to calm his nerves, Hartler keenly sensed something unusual.

Just kidding, now when Lu Yi looked at Hatterer it was as if he saw the God of Wealth, he was almost worshipping him, so what was the point of just smiling?

Just as Lu Yi was pulling Hatler towards the camp.

A cloud of dust suddenly rose up from the side of the Great Wall in the distance, startling Lu Yi and others.

"Enemy attack! Everyone mount your horses and prepare for battle!"

Lu Yi acted decisively and immediately began issuing orders.

"Young Chief Hatler, the enemy is coming with great force, and we have not yet distinguished between us and the enemy. You should also ask the warriors of the Hunye tribe to mount their horses. If the situation is urgent, they can follow me to kill the enemy!"

Then, Lu Yi said to Hatterer that he didn’t know the scale of the enemy now, and in order to protect himself to the greatest extent, he must unite all the forces that can be united.

"Hahaha, being able to kill the enemy together with my benefactor is the fate that Hatter has cultivated in his previous life. It is my wish and I dare not refuse!" Hatter responded loudly and excitedly, turned around and led all the Hu people of the Huye tribe to mount their horses.

After half an hour's rest, they have recovered some strength and can mount their horses to kill the enemy. Just as Lu Yi was quickly preparing for battle, he discovered that something went wrong.

The people who came turned out to be more than a hundred elite cavalrymen led by Huang Yi, the Great Wall pass defender whom he had just met.

"Huh? After all this fuss, it turns out to be this corrupt official!" Seeing this, Lu Bu snorted in dissatisfaction and glared at the person who came.

"It's you!" Huang Yi had led his team to check the situation after seeing the smoke rising in the distance. He was slightly stunned when he found out it was Lu Yi.

Then, when Huang Yi saw the hundreds of Hu people's heads piled up in the temporary camp and the tragic battlefield nearby, he immediately had a rough guess about what had happened and was even more surprised.

"What are these heads, brother Lu Yi?"

"But some blind barbarian bandits thought we were fat sheep, but they didn't expect that they would end up falling into the tiger's mouth and lose their lives."

Lu Yi said this lightly, causing Huang Yi's surprise to rise to shock.

"You wiped out a hundred-man bandit group with just a hundred-man caravan?"

"Wrong!" Lu Bu said proudly, "We defeated an attack by 400 Hu bandits!"

"What!" Huang Yi wanted to refute, but he couldn't be deceived by the so many Hu people's heads in front of him.

Moreover, he had been fighting with the Hu people for many years and was well aware of the Hu people's ability to adapt to the situation and retreat immediately if the war was going unfavorably. This was one of the reasons why the Hu people were so difficult to deal with.

"What Lu Bu said is true!" After thinking about it for a while, Huang Yi realized that Lu Bu was not exaggerating, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked by Lu Yi's newly established caravan.

"Even if I led one hundred elite cavalrymen under my command and engaged in a battle with four hundred Hu cavalrymen, even if there was a high probability that we would win in the end, we would probably not gain as much as Lu Yi."

"Besides..." Huang Yi thought of this and quickly looked towards Lu Yi's camp, and found that there were still eighty or ninety people busy: "Isn't this casualty ratio too low?"

"Could it be that they encountered a group of wandering Hu cavalry that had just been defeated by another tribe?"

On the grassland, the strong are respected.

Even if the Khan of the Xiongnu royal court was too weak, he would be wiped out by his ministers, not to mention the various grassland tribes that were not under the jurisdiction of each other.

The pasture is so small, and the cattle and sheep can only be fed so many.

Your cattle and sheep should eat more grass, and my cattle and sheep should eat less.

At the turn of winter and spring, people in my tribe would starve to death because there were not enough cattle and sheep to eat.

Therefore, generally speaking, tribal annexations on the grasslands were very common and frequent.

A powerful tribe may decline within one or two years and perish on the vast grassland.

A weak tribe may become strong and become the overlord because of one or two opportunities.

Huang Yi guessed that Lu Yi and others might have been lucky enough to have encountered the defeated Hu people.

But when he saw the body of Zador, the young chief of the Zade tribe, hanging high on the camp gate, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
