Great Han Empire

Chapter 1 Rising Sun
September of the first year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty (AD 184).

Early in the morning, Murong Ji, the leader of the Xianbei Golden Eagle Tribe in the central region, received a message from Ke Zui, the master of Xianbei in the central region: Murong Feng has escaped.

Murong Ji was taken aback, and hastily summoned the chiefs of the tribe to convey the shocking news.In the big tent, there was a deathly silence at first, and then it boiled like a frying pan, and angry shouts and curses could be heard endlessly.

Murong Ji stood up and said in a deep voice, "Ke Zui asked us to immediately send a team to the grassland to participate in the search."

"No." The handsome Murong Feng sitting on Murong Ji's right said angrily, "Ke is the most vicious, despicable and shameless, his words cannot be trusted. Murong Feng escaped from Hudu, is it possible? This is Ke The most important excuse is to attack us, the commander-in-chief must take precautions early."

"We haven't broken up with Ke Zui yet, so we still have to do it so that we don't lose the truth." Murong Ji sneered, "Besides, if we really run into Murong Feng, what should we do or what should we do? Don't be soft."
The big tent fell silent again, and no one responded.

At this time, a young commander in the tribe suddenly asked: "Does your lord know how Murong Feng escaped from Hudu? That Hudu is the territory of the Tiger tribe, the largest tribe in Xianbei in central China. There are nearly ten thousand cavalry in the tribe." , It is too difficult to escape."

"The Tiger Cave where serious offenders are held in Hudu is heavily guarded. Murong Feng has no possibility of escaping by himself. Does he have helpers?" Another handsome man also asked eagerly.

"According to the report, Murong Feng was rescued by a Han slave on death row. This Han slave was very powerful. He killed twenty guards in the tiger cave, and then put on the armor of the guards and carried Murong Feng on his shoulders. Shang swaggered out of the tiger cave. The guards at the entrance of the cave thought that the guards inside the cave were cleaning up the corpses, so they didn’t check carefully, and when they found that Murong Feng was gone, it was too late to chase after him.” Murong Ji said, “Mr. Thousands of people searched and hunted down the prairie, but there is no news so far."

"Joke, how is this possible?" An older handsome man said suspiciously, "The tiger's cave is so heavily guarded that not even a mouse can escape, let alone Murong Feng. There are twenty guards guarding Murong Feng, and that No matter how powerful Han Nu is, he can't kill twenty Tiger Clan warriors in one go. Ke Zuo must have concealed the truth."
"This Han slave is quite capable, does he have a name? When we meet in the future, we can take care of him." Murong Feng laughed.

"I heard that his name is Li Hong. He was captured by the Tiger Tribe Commander Keye in the mountains this spring. Keye thought he was a spy of the Han people, and tortured him severely. As a result, he was confused, incoherent, and didn't know anything. I know, he is a big idiot. Koyer saw that he was tall and strong, so he left him as a slave. Last month, this Han slave suddenly stole Koyer’s BMW and wanted to escape. Koyer beat him half to death and then I was imprisoned in the tiger cave, but I didn't expect this to happen right away." Murong Ji laughed, "Ke Ye treats him as an idiot, and I think he is the idiot."

Then he pointed to Murong Feng and said, "Take someone to the Rushui River area tomorrow to have a look."
Murong Feng bowed to his orders.

"My lord, if Murong Feng wants to escape, he must flee in the direction of Dayan Mountain. Since the fiasco of Benniuyuan, he has been active in Dayan Mountain with his remnants. My lord, do you think we are heading south along Rushui all the way to White Sandalwood City? "Murong Feng asked.

"Okay." Murong Ji said, "You take 1000 people there, be careful on the way."

Keye led [-] cavalry to search the grassland for nine days, but there was no trace of Murong Feng or the Han slave.

Koyer was very angry.Keye knew that if he couldn't bring Murong Feng back, although he wouldn't be beheaded, he would lose face.That Hannu was ruthless and cunning. Not only did he kill the twenty guards guarding Murong Feng, he also rescued Murong Feng from the tiger's den without anyone noticing.Such a person, I have always regarded him as an idiot.

"I'm really an idiot." Koyer sat on the horse and muttered to himself in frustration.

In the distance, four or five soldiers came riding exhaustedly.Ko Ye glanced at it, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.There must be no trace of the two fugitives.

"Damn Hannu, when I catch you, I will eat you alive!" Koyer punched the air hard and cursed loudly.

The sky gradually brightened, and a thin morning sun slowly rose from the distant horizon.The creatures in the mountains began to wake up, the birds sang in the forest, and the insects sang in the grass.The fresh morning breath, accompanied by misty forest mist, is refreshing.

Li Hong sat quietly in the grass, watching a bright red sun jumping up from the sky, his mood suddenly brightened.I must be able to escape.

Since escaping from Hudu, he and Murongfeng have been traveling day and night, carefully advancing among the high mountains.Along the way, Li Hong discovered that he was very good at hiding his tracks. Many wonderful escape methods seemed to be engraved in his mind by nature. He felt ashamed of himself, he felt that this foolish boy was far superior to him in terms of escaping.The two cooperated closely and successfully evaded the pursuit many times.However, Li Hong was helpless now.Looking at the endless prairie in front of him, he was so depressed that he almost collapsed, and the confidence he had just established disappeared in an instant.

"There are still more than 200 miles to Rushui River, and the road is full of grasslands. If we want to escape their pursuit, it is nothing but a dream." Murong Feng stood beside him and said with a smile.

Murong Feng was tall and thin, with a long beard all over his face, exuding a fierce and mighty aura all over his body.Probably due to being locked in the cave for too long, his complexion was very pale.

Li Hong laughed, pointed to his nose and said, "I'm an idiot."

Murong Feng sighed: "Is there anything wrong with being an idiot? If you don't remember everything in the past and start over, what's wrong with that? You are skilled in martial arts, kind-hearted, and open-minded. You can survive wherever you go."

Li Hong nodded, and said with a little deep feeling: "Maybe my past was very tragic, it's better to forget it."

"Rest, there is still a long way to go at night." Murong Feng patted his shoulder and said affectionately.

Li Hong lay on the soft fallen leaves, feeling very confused.

Many strange things have happened in the past month, and his heart is full of doubts, but he dare not ask them.Li Hong's strangeness, admiration, and awe to Murong Feng, a mythical figure on the prairie, gradually became familiar, natural, and kind to Murong Feng, but Li Hong still didn't dare to shake out all his thoughts.Intuition, or a kind of familiarity, in Li Hong's subconscious mind, he thinks that everything that happened recently has a great relationship with this Murong Feng.

Li Hong turned his head and glanced at Murong Feng who was lying beside him. His hair had turned gray a lot, and the corners of his eyes and brows were deeply wrinkled, but his innate mighty aura made Li Hong admire him .

Unconsciously, Li Hong recalled the excitement and curiosity when he heard Murong Feng's name for the first time, and scenes of the past flooded into his mind instantly.

Iron Wolf is a very famous archer in the Xianbei Kingdom, and he is also a warrior who is not afraid of death.He used to follow Murong Feng in the north and south, and made great achievements, but now he is just a slave in the Tiger Tribe just like Li Hong.He is a member of the Eagle Tribe, Murong Feng's general, and one of the leaders who participated in the Eagle Tribe's rebellion. After the defeat in the decisive battle of Benniuyuan, he was captured by Ke Zui and has been a slave of the Tiger Tribe ever since.

"The reason why the general lost in the Benniuyuan battle was because Ke Zui betrayed him." Tie Lang told Li Hong.

A slave who speaks ill of his master behind his back will have his tongue cut off, but Li Hong is an idiot, and an idiot will not tell the truth, so Iron Wolf confides the words buried in his heart to this idiot. , in order to vent the anger and hatred buried in the heart.

"Do you know who the handsome is?"

"Murong Feng, he is an invincible warrior of the Xianbei tribe, a prairie general who is invincible in all battles."

"Who is Murong Feng? Let me tell you, he is a son of the noble Murong family of Xianbei. He is known as the number one warrior in Xianbei. He joined the army at the age of 15 and led his cavalry across the desert. He was invincible. Later, he became the king of Xianbei, Tan Shihuai His generals made great military exploits for the king's unification of the Xianbei tribes. After the death of the king, he repeatedly clashed with the king because he was dissatisfied with the arrogance and lust of the new king Helian. Six years ago, Helian was unable to lift the military power of the commander in chief In order to get rid of the commander-in-chief's threat to him, Nai pretended to rob his sworn brother Tie Gen, a warrior of the Eagle Tribe, and framed him to kill Tie Gen. This aroused the anger of our Eagle Tribe people, and the Eagle Tribe immediately went against the law. The soldiers rebelled. This fell into the trick of Helian, and he led the army to defeat our Eagle tribe."

"The commander-in-chief was furious when he got the news. In his anger, he led 2 cavalry and more than [-] people from the rest of the Eagle Tribe to confront Helian's army at Benniuyuan. Ke Zui, the villain, pretended to form an alliance with the commander-in-chief. At this time, we suddenly turned against each other. We were in chaos and defeated. At this time, Helian's ambush soldiers took the opportunity to fight out. We were outnumbered and the whole army was wiped out. Under the cover of the soldiers, the commander desperately broke out of the encirclement. Later, Helian Throughout the prairie, rewards are offered for the capture of the commander in all directions in the desert, but the commander-in-chief has too many friends, and his prestige on the prairie is his amulet, and no one can catch him."

"Ke Zui, the villain, got the high position of Master Xianbei because of this. What is Ke Zui? He is just Helian's dog. He used to be the commander of the commander in the past, and the commander regarded him as his own. Brother, but I didn't expect this brother to be a wolf, a wolf that devours the Lord."

"In the past few years, people have heard that the commander-in-chief collected the remnants and reorganized a large army on the Dayan Mountain at the junction of the Xianbei Kingdom and the Han Dynasty, and lived a life of occupying the mountain as king. As soon as I can escape from Hudu Then I can continue to follow the commander-in-chief and avenge my people."

Li Hong couldn't understand what he was talking about at first, but anyway, he listened very carefully every time and studied his language very hard. After a long time, he gradually understood it.Iron Wolf likes him very much, and treats him like his own child.Li Hong lost all his memories, he didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know where his home was. He only knew that his name was Li Hong, and everything else was blank.As his body gradually recovered, Li Hong gradually discovered that he could write square characters and speak a language that Xianbei people could not understand.Tie Lang told him that it was the language of the Han people, and the characters seemed to be written by the Han people. These are enough to prove that he is indeed a Han.

Iron Wolf taught him how to feed and ride horses, how to archery, and how to use weapons. Later, Iron Wolf's complexion became very ugly, because Li Hong seemed to be born with martial arts skills. Within three or four months, Li Hong not only rode horses well, shot arrows accurately, but also practiced all kinds of weapons extremely well. He was also good at wrestling and fighting. Iron Wolf could no longer beat him.Therefore, Iron Wolf firmly believes that Li Hong must be a spy of the Han people, but he doesn't know what happened to him after he went deep into the Xianbei Kingdom and caused him to lose all his memories.Iron Wolf suspected that Keye accidentally broke Li Hong's head when he was torturing him, and Li Hong turned into what he is today, looking silly, naive, and idiot.However, Li Hong's eyes became more and more energetic.

Iron Wolf was worried that Li Hong's skills would be seen by Keye's subordinates, so he repeatedly told Li Hong to hide it carefully and not to cause unreasonable disasters, but Li Hong's strong muscles could not be hidden no matter what.Li Hong has his own way. He lifts the manger in the stable.The manger was made of stone and was very heavy. It usually took four strong men to lift it up.Li Hong seems to be born with supernatural power. Every day he lifts it with his hands, shoulders, and piggyback, and there are always dozens of times.Li Hong's bravery made Tie Lang speechless, thinking that the person in front of him was either an idiot or pretending to be an idiot.When the news reached Keye's ears, Keye laughed: "Who would believe it? Think of me as an idiot!"
