Ao Lie led the vanguard troops to walk out of Jijun City less than thirty miles away, and saw two horses running towards him. Soon, the two horses came to the vanguard army, and the knights on the horse turned over and got off the horse and knelt in front of Ao Lie. The knight riding the white horse was a scout sent by Zhang Liao. The scout was the first to speak: "Report to the lord, our team met the messenger of the border army on the road ahead, and the captain ordered the villain to report to the lord."

The knight riding a black horse quickly said, "Report to General, I am a county soldier from Youbeiping. The county magistrate received the news that 20,000 people in the front of the Wuhuan people had conquered Jianping. After killing all the people in the city, they were marching towards Bailang Mountain. They ordered the villain to come and report."

After hearing the messenger's return, Ao Lie became angry! Jianping City was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty. Later, during the reign of Emperor Huan, Jianping was allocated to the Wuhuan people to rest and recuperate. However, the Wuhuan people were similar to the Xiongnu people, both of them were nomadic peoples, who relied on fishing and pastoral herds and did not do anything for production. So a large number of Han people were moved to Jianping to help the Wuhuan people make various necessities of life. Later, the white horse general Gongsun Zan led his troops to drive away the Wuhuan people and brought Jianping back to the Han Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the Wuhuan people marched so quickly this time. They captured Jianping with lightning speed and carried out a massacre! Ao Lie looked north with a blue face. That was the direction of Jianping. Suppressed the anger in his heart, Ao Lie asked in a deep voice: "When did the Wuhuan people break Jianping?" The county soldier replied stutteringly: "The villain doesn't know either."

Ao Lie's face darkened again, and he asked, "When did your prefect ask you to come out to report the message?" This time the messenger answered very happily: "Report to General, it was three days ago." Ao Lie lowered his head, looked at the messenger carefully, and asked, "Are you delayed on the road?" The messenger shook his head hurriedly: "The villain came to report the message day and night, but he did not dare to delay it for a moment."

Ao Lie pondered for a while, then said to an elite blood slaughter camp beside him, "Take him down to change a horse, hurry up and report to the Lord of the Palace." The messenger heard this, kowtowed and thanked him, and then followed the elite blood slaughter camp to the rear army to change horses. Ao Lie looked at the messenger's back and said in a deep voice: "Wenruo, Zitai, have you ever noticed?" Xun Yu and Tian Chou looked at each other, and Tian Chou said first: "Chou is dull, but he just vaguely feels that something is wrong, but he can't find the problem." Ao Lie turned his eyes to Xun Yu: "Wenruo, what do you think?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "The lord is already clear, why bother asking?" Ao Lie shook his head and said, "One person has a short plan, two people have a strong plan. What I think is probably omissions. Wen Ruo, let me tell you what you think."

Zhang Xiu, who was standing beside him, asked strangely, "Senior Brother Mo Han, what are you talking about?" Ao Lie smiled and said to Zhang Xiu, "Your Junior Brother Youwei, you are excellent in shooting skills and are also good at placing troops and formations, but you don't learn this kind of power and strategy." After Ao Lie said this, Zhang Xiu became even more confused: "We are leading troops to fight now, so we are going to be involved in the art of power and strategy?" Ao Lie waved his hand and signaled Zhang Xiu to calm down first and listen to Xun Yu's opinion.

Xun Yu said slowly, "Actually, the lord has seen through the problem, so Yu is going to talk about it in detail." After a pause, Xun Yu asked Zhang Xiu and others: "How many days will it take for you generals to whip the horse from Youbeiping to Jijun?" Zhang Xiu said without hesitation: "If it were a white crane sitting down, it would be in half a day. Even if it was replaced by an ordinary war horse, it would be at most two days."

Xun Yu nodded and continued, "That's right, but the messenger just said that he came day and night in the name of the prefect of Youbeiping three days ago. Why haven't he arrived at Ji County in three days?" After Xun Yu said this, everyone also found the problem.

Tian Chou said, "I thought something was wrong before. After Wen Ruo's reminder, I understood, I was afraid that the prefect of Youbeiping deliberately delayed the trip."

Ao Lie smiled and said, "It's more than that, Wen Ruo, you continue."

Xun Yu bowed and continued, "The lord asked the messenger a few words just now. It seemed to ask random questions, but in fact it contained mysteries. Through the messenger's answer, Yu inferred the following points. First, what Zi Tai said just now, the prefect of Youbeiping deliberately delayed the opportunity to report the message; second, the prefect of Youbeiping deliberately concealed the time of the Wuhuan people's march, so the messenger did not know when Jianping was captured; third, the Wuhuan people rushed in this time, and their whereabouts appeared and were everywhere. I am afraid that someone was helping the Wuhuan people cover up their march."

Ao Lie said, "Wen Ruo is really my son's house. What he said is exactly the same as what he thought in his heart." He turned to Tian Chou and asked, "Zi Tai, if someone remembers correctly, the prefect of Youbeiping is Zou Fu, right?" Tian Chou bowed and replied, "The lord is not wrong, it is Zou Fu."

A solemn and even a cold voice trembled: "As a Han Chinese, Zou Fu did traitors, and his heart was punished!" As a person who traveled through time more than two thousand years later, Ao Lie hated the most was a traitor! If it weren't for these scum among the Han people, how could there be the Five Barbarians invading China in the later generations? How could there be the Eight-Nation Alliance in Beijing in the later generations? How could there be the Nanjing Massacre and the Eight-Year War of Resistance in the later generations?

Xun Yu felt the murderous intent that was emitted from Ao Lie, which he had never felt before in Ao Lie. For a long time, Xun Yu believed that although his lord was young, he was smart and wise, calm and generous, and was better at understanding people's hearts. He could not only rely on his wisdom to plan, but also use his bravery to lead the battlefield and fight against the enemy. He treated his companions like a warm sun, and although he was strict in dealing with his soldiers, he was extremely sympathetic in private. Xun Yu believed that if Ao Lie added a little ruthlessness, he would be a perfect hero. He thought that after years of precipitation, he would naturally learn ruthlessness in a few years, but what surprised Xun Yu was that at this moment in front of him, Ao Lie burst out and became very cruel.

Ao Lie's cold voice sounded again: "Zi Tai, go check the horse and see if there is any problem." Tian Chou agreed and walked towards the mount of Zou Dan's messenger.

After a while, Tian Chou walked back and said to Ao Lie: "Report to the lord, that horse has indeed been tampered with and has just been castrated, and its injuries have not healed yet."

After hearing Tian Chou's return, Ao Lie's face was so cold that it could almost scrape a layer of frost: "Sure enough. He passed our military order and marched quickly. Before dark, he rushed to Youbeiping and arrested Zou Fu's family and all the young and old. Once the evidence of the crime is confirmed, he will destroy his whole family!"

Listening to Ao Lie's ruthless order, no one raised any questions. The facts were in front of him. No one could believe it if Zou Fu did not do anything to stolen the country. Zhang Xiu even shouted loudly: "Just just kill me directly, what else can I do?"

Ao Lie shook his head slightly and said, "Don't be impatient, Junior Brother Youwei, we should not kill good people by mistake before we figure out the facts." After his tone softened, Ao Lie said meaningfully: "Youwei, sooner or later, you will lead the army alone in the future. Remember not to speculate in the future, you should be calmer." Zhang Xiu's face turned red, and he knew Ao Lie's expectations for him, hoping that he would be the only one in the future, so he said sincerely: "Yes. Thank you, Senior Brother Mo Han, for your tips, Xiu wrote down."

Ao Lie said to Zhang Liao again: "Wenyuan, you can choose a fine sergeant to return to Ji County, tell my father what we had just made a guess, and let him prepare early." Zhang Liao replied: "No!"

The steel gun was facing forward, and Ao Lie shouted loudly: "Target Youbeiping, move forward at full speed. If you don't have any chance to Youbeiping before dark, kill!" With Ao Lie's shout, no one made a different sound from the more than 2,800 soldiers in the whole group clasped their weapons and strode away their big steps toward Youbeiping, which Ao Lie's steel gun pointed to.

The sunset was smiling red, looking down at the land of Youbeiping. It seemed that there was something special about the place in Youbeiping, so it was reluctant to land on the west mountain, hung in the sky with interest, and swept every inch of land in Youbeiping with its only remaining afterglow.

Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves halted the setting sun. At the intersection of sea and sky, a team of cavalry with a stern and cruel aura appeared on the ground. Immediately afterwards, two thousand powerful soldiers appeared behind the cavalry. Although their faces were tired, like the cavalry, a sense of coldness appeared in their eyes.

The sunset hanging in the sky seemed to be frightened by this team of cold warriors. Suddenly, they hid behind the mountain. As the sunset sets down the mountain, the sky and the earth gradually become darker.

Ao Lie held Zhao Yexue's dragon horse, looked back at the soldiers who had been following him for 300 miles, and a smile appeared on his face. No one fell behind, and more than 2,800 soldiers followed him tightly. In one day, marching 300 miles! If it was the Qianli horse that Ao Lie sat down or the BMW that Zhang Xiu and others sat down, it would be no problem to travel 300 miles a day, but the problem was that although there were 800 elite blood killing camps equipped with war horses, their war horses were called good horses, but there was still a lot of gap from BMW. It was not easy to travel 300 miles a day, let alone there were two thousand infantrymen! These two thousand infantrymen ran together with the horse's hooves on their legs!

"The whole army will rest for an hour, and order the soldiers of the Blood Killing Camp to dismount and rest, and feed the war horses. The infantry will form a circle and walk slowly for two minutes before they can sit down and rest. Those who violate the order will be killed!" Ao Lie gave the order in a cold voice.

Several people following Ao Lie passed on the order separately. After the communication was completed, Zhao Yun asked softly: "Senior Brother Mo Han, why should I give way to the inmates to slow down for two minutes?" Ao Lie asked Xun Yu with a smile: "Wen Ruoke knows, what does it mean?"

Xun Yu smiled and replied: "My lord is very knowledgeable and even has a lot of knowledge to learn about medical skills." As he said, pointing to the infantrymen who were walking slowly, he explained: "Although these soldiers are elite, long-distance marching has caused great fatigue to their bodies and spirits. If they are allowed to sit and rest rashly, the energy condensed in the long-distance marching will be leaked. In that case, the two thousand infantrymen will be weak in their bodies and their combat effectiveness will be reduced to the lowest point in the next few hours. The reason why the lord asked them to walk slowly was to prepare for the siege later, and the other was also to be responsible for the lives of these soldiers."

Ao Lie smiled and nodded, looking at Zhao Yun: "Junior Brother Zilong, not everyone has a physique like you and me. These soldiers are ordinary people, and their physical strength is limited. Once they break through the limit, the best way is not to stop and rest immediately, but to undergo restorative training. Do you understand?"

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your advice from senior brother." Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu and others on the side also kept nodding to express their understanding, and they all felt in their hearts that following Ao Lie has indeed benefited a lot.

Two moments later, Ao Lie issued another order: choose a hidden place, make a fire and cook, the whole army will continue to rest after a meal, and wait until the deadline of one hour will arrive, and immediately launch a raid on Youbeiping!
