There are no specific landmarks on the grassland. For strangers, walking into the vast grassland is not much different from entering the desert.

Fortunately, Huang Cheng had been investigating the grassland for many days. The Xianbei people were not all brave and fierce, but also had good and simple tribe members. These people were the best guides for the Han people when entering the grassland.

It takes special means to make clear the direction on the grassland. Zhao Yun doesn't understand, but someone under Huang Cheng understands it, Huang Cheng himself is also learning. He is the scout under Zhao Yun's command. Zhao Yun values ​​him very much, and Huang Cheng himself works very hard.

The first target is just a small tribe. The tribe has few people, only thousands of people, and its combat effectiveness is not strong. Zhao Yun took them as the first target just to replenish supplies.

Three days later, the quiet small tribe ushered in a catastrophe!

Zhao Yun gave the order and rushed to the front one by one, holding the gentian silver spear in his hand in one hand, holding the reins in the other hand, and slightly lying on the back of the horse. Ye Zhao's jade lion's speed increased to the fastest.

No one can keep up with the 20,000 cavalry, including Huang Zhong's war horses!

Zhao Yun burst into the tribe with a smile and rushed into the sky. A Xianbei roar who had not yet reacted was stabbed to death by him. He carried the body on the head of the gun and continued to rush forward. This life announced the prelude to Zhao Yun's invasion of the grassland and robbing the Xianbei!

Soon, Huang Zhong and 20,000 cavalry arrived. The rumbling cavalry rushed into the tribe and the blood flowed into a river. The warriors of this small tribe had no power to resist and could only be slaughtered passively!

After 20,000 people walked around, the tribe was beyond recognition, and thousands of Xianbei people died tragically under the sharp weapons of the soldiers!

One battle...or a massacre came down, killing more than 4,000 Xianbei people, but less than a thousand people escaped.

Zhao Yun went deep behind the enemy and needed someone to convey the message, but he would not deliberately let anyone go of the Xianbei people who could be killed!

He is here to cause trouble and kill people.

The war is cruel, without any kindness, and now is not the time to be kind. Although these ordinary Xianbei people are innocent, the two sides have different positions, and Zhao Yun was ready early in the morning!

After some supplies in the broken tribe, I rested for one night, and early the next morning, Zhao Yun continued to go deep into the grassland with his people.

They avoided the longest and best way on the grassland along the way, because the 300,000 army of the three major tribes will pass through this road, and the two sides will not be able to meet for the time being.

The state of eating wind and drinking dew lasted for a full twenty days, and Zhao Yun led his army to the grassland for two thousand miles.

After twenty days, he broke up four Xianbei tribes. Except for the first tribe, the small tribe, the other three are medium-sized tribes with a population of more than 30,000.

He killed more than 50,000 enemies, but he suffered heavy casualties. In the case of a surprise attack, under the premise of he and Huang Zhong, more than 5,000 cavalrymen still lost more than 5,000 people.

Less than 15,000 people were resting in the tribe after the baptism of the war. Almost everyone had their faces exhausted. For twenty days, they had either been on the road or fighting!

This kind of high-intensity action, let alone ordinary soldiers, even Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong couldn't hold on. Fortunately, Zhao Yun paid great attention to physical strength in his daily training, and the soldiers also ate well, had sufficient nutrition, and had good physical fitness, so they could still hold on.

"Lord, Han Yong said that there is no Xianbei tribe within a radius of 500 miles. I suggest we take a few days off first and let the soldiers take a good rest, otherwise if this continues, everyone will soon be unable to hold on."

Huang Zhong said to Zhao Yun while eating lamb legs.

Next to him were the commanders of several cavalry corps, as well as the strong men recruited in Chenliu. Not only were the five men under his commanders, but even one of them performed the best and had the strongest force. He was appointed as a side general by him and was also the deputy commander of the cavalry corps.

This person's name is Dazhuang. He was from a poor family and did not have an accurate name. After Zhao Yun solicited his opinions, he accepted him as a retainer. Residents like Dazhuang are different from Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Xun You and others.

It is said to be a retainer, but it can actually be said to be a slave.

Zhao Yun gave him the surname "Zhao" and named him Zhao Zhong.

It is the same name as Zhao Zhong, one of the ten eunuchs today, but it is obvious that the two are not the same type of people.

Zhao Zhong has good skills. Zhao Yun estimated that in this era, he should be considered a third-rate or even second-rate general.

He is already very strong and takes advantage of the battle. He can fight Zhao Yun for more than fifty moves. Although Zhao Yun keeps his hand, it is also very good.

In addition to the deputy general and the commander of the thousand men, there were many ordinary soldiers next to him, who went deep into the grassland, using the sky as the quilt and the ground as the bed. Zhao Yun was eating and living with the soldiers. This made the soldiers grateful and were more cohesive in the battle process.

Zhao Yun looked at everyone around him. Even Zhao Zhong, who was energetic, had red eyes and deep bags. He nodded.

"Then let's rest on the spot for three days. In addition to the necessary posts, brothers can take off their armor and rest well. If you send the order, you don't have to sleep with your clothes anymore. Since you want to rest, then take a good rest."

Huang Zhong, Huang Cheng, Zhao Zhong and others all showed joy. Long-term combat is not just physical fatigue, but also a test for the spirit.

...

Just as Zhao Yun led his army to rest, the army of Lou Dan, Helian Chong and Siroo had already arrived three hundred miles away from Qinghu City, a small town on the border of Yunzhong County.

In twenty-three days, I traveled more than three thousand miles, even if it was all cavalry, but it could be considered a rushing march.

The Xianbei people also had food, supplies when they went to the expedition. In this way, the food, supplies and supplies could not keep up with the speed, so only the 50,000 vanguards who rushed to Helian, and the remaining 250,000 were still thousands of miles behind him.

Helian Chong was eager to make contributions and brought less than five days of dry food. He wanted to sound the horn of the first battle and announce to the cowardly Han people that he was coming!

But Xun You had already prepared. He sent dozens of scout teams. Each team had only three or five people, each equipped with two war horses. The target was small, the speed was fast, the number was large, and the radiation range was very wide. No matter where Helian rushed over, he could discover and lock the other party as soon as possible.

When he got the news, he and Gao Shun were inspecting the military camp in the city and received the report from the scout. He immediately pulled Gao Shun into the camp.

"Zhongda, do you want to make a contribution?"

Xun You looked at him with anticipation.

Gao Shun shook his head indifferently: "I don't want to."

Xun You asked speechlessly, "Why?"

Gao Shun said: "The task given to us is to guard our family. As long as we guard our family well, we will make contributions. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking, but please think about Zhao Kuo of the ancients before you do it!"

"Do you think I am the one who talks about the war on paper?" Xun You was a little angry.

Gao Shun looked at him coldly: "Have you killed someone?"

Xun You: "..."

Gao Shun asked again: "Have you led the soldiers?"

Xun You: "..."

Gao Shun asked again: "Have you fought a war?"

Xun You: "..."

Gao Shun: "You..."

Xun You couldn't listen anymore and quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Okay, okay, I admit, I have no experience. But look at Helian Chong, he is just a reckless man! Zhongda, a great opportunity is right in front of us, we can't watch him disappear!"
