Liu He's army has been setting out for more than twenty days since Shan Wucheng.

At this time, the army was marching on a vast grassland. Looking around, there was no obstruction, and all the landscapes were visible.

However, except for a few livestock and wild animals, Liu He and others could no longer see any trace of living creatures.

"Brother, the situation is not right. Our army has entered Yunzhong County for hundreds of miles, and passed four cities: Wujin, Shannan, Jiling and Chengle. Nearly half of the territory of Yunzhong have been covered with, but no one has ever seen it. It is really strange."

Guan Yu looked around Wuren and said.

Ye Xiang also came over: "After the Xianbei people learned the news, they gathered all the scattered soldiers and brave men from all over the country in one place, waiting for a decisive battle with our army?"

Zhang Yong nodded and said, "Well, this possibility is not ruled out. The Xianbei tribe gathered in Yunzhong County is much stronger than the Yilan tribe at that time. If they gather all their troops and fight our army in one place, it would probably be a tough battle."

Zhu Ye looked indifferent: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it just 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry? At that time, the 70,000 army of Kuitou was beaten to flee by us. Now our strength is much stronger than when we were at Yanmen Pass. I'm afraid of these 50,000 or 60,000 people?"

"I like to hear Lao Wu's words. I don't care how many of them are there, and I'll beat him up after seeing them."

Cheng Liang shouted.

However, Gao Shun, who was standing beside him, looked solemn.

"There is no danger to defend, the situation is different, so you can't underestimate the enemy."

Cheng Liang wanted to refute Gao Shun, but was stopped by Liu He.

"Boping is right. Yanmen Pass is under the danger and will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort. Now on this prairie, if we fight head-on, even if our army is not afraid, it will be difficult to win easily. If there are too many casualties, I am afraid that this Northern Expedition will be interrupted."

Cui Jun came up to comfort him and said, "The matter may not be so serious. Perhaps the battle between Bu Dugen and Qian Man's power grab is already very fierce, so all these tribes have moved to the targets of their support. I don't think it's better for the army to rest in Yunzhong City ahead, and then send people to inquire about the traces of the Xianbei people."

After thinking about it, Liu He had to do so.

Hundreds of military scouts were sent out here, and Liu He also released a carrier pigeon.

This pigeon naturally went to convey orders to the brothers Youlang and Youming. When it comes to inquiries, the people in the Flying Eagle Guard who have transformed from the gangsters in the martial arts are much better than those scouts.

Nowadays, more than 400 Feiying Guards are fixedly hidden in various cities in Dingxiang County, Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, and Zhongshan County, Jizhou. They are responsible for real-time monitoring of various abnormal movements in the city. There are also a group of people who secretly follow Liu He all year round and wait for Liu He's orders at any time.

One afternoon a few days later, Liu He and Cui Jun climbed the Yunzhong County Tower together and looked around.

"I heard for a long time that the Hetao area has thousands of miles of fertile land and rivers are everywhere. When I see it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Liu He looked at the scenery in front of him. Except for a mountain range in the north, the rest of the area is full of vast grasslands, and there are also many wastelands that have been vaguely seen with traces of cultivation.

There is a large river flowing through the northwest and southeast sides of the city, called the wilderness and the white canal water. There are many small rivers surrounding the two rivers, and many wild animals are drinking water on both sides of the river.

Cui Jun sighed: "Yes, the Hetao area is not just a fertile wilderness. A hundred years ago, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Wuyuan, Shuofang, Xihe and Shangjun produced countless grains and livestock every year, and their wealth was almost the same as that of Guanzhong. Who would have thought that after the Xianbei and Xiongnu were raging, it has now become a deserted place. It's so sad and lamentable."

Liu He suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Military advisor, would it be feasible if we can recover these places, use the Hetao area, develop farming and sericulture, and serve as the base camp for our army to replenish future?"

Cui Jun's eyes lit up.

"Lord, this is a great demeanor!"

But soon his eyes dimmed again.

"Oh, it's easy to say. Although the soil along the Yellow River is rich and densely populated by river networks, the Yellow River has a small disaster every year and a major disaster every ten years. If too many people are really mobilized to settle here and work, once the Yellow River floods, I'm afraid it will be very harmful."

Liu He didn't expect this section.

"Well, I've been neglected. Forget it, let's talk about it later."

The two were chatting, and Guan Yu and others suddenly climbed the city tower.

"Brother, a scout is back!"

Liu He hurriedly asked, "How?"

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "The scouts ran through almost the entire Yunzhong County, but did not see a single figure. Only..."

Guan Yu paused and continued, "There are only some cities and suburban areas, and some corpses and bones of my great men, as small as dozens of people, and as many as hundreds of people..."

When Guan Yu said this, his body trembled slightly, and his face was obviously suppressed by anger.

Liu He and Cui Jun thought of a word at the same time.

"Build the Jingguan!"

Cui Jun almost frowned.

"Lord, it seems that this matter is not small. Those corpses must be the great men who were unwilling to follow them and fight to the death when the Xianbei army evacuated. Therefore, they were killed by the Xianbei army to show warning. It is not a trivial matter to kill so many slaves than to evacuate in a hurry."

Cheng Liang almost said with a roaring voice: "Brother, don't bear it! Keep going, I don't believe I can't find these bastards raised by these bitch!"

Zhang Yong said to Cheng Liang: "Third brother, these Xianbei troops are abominable, but their whereabouts are unknown now. Where can we find them? We can't drag such a large army around, right?"

Cheng Liang opened his mouth, but he seemed to be unable to think of any good solutions or words. Finally, he could only sigh heavily, lower his head and sulk.

"It's really strange on this prairie. Where did the Xianbei people go..."

Ye Xiang held his chin and said in thought.

"Flipping..."

When a few people were in a dilemma, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew over and stopped on the city wall.

Liu He was excited and hurried over, grabbed the pigeon, and took off a strip of cloth wrapped around the pigeon's legs.

Everyone knew that this was the news that the Feiying Guard had sent back, and they all gathered to take a look.

Cheng Liang said anxiously: "Brother, how are you doing?"

Liu He's expression seemed to have improved a little, with a happier look.

"Flying Eagle Guard found some clues."

"That's great, the You brothers really have some skills!"

Liu He said: "They found that not only did the Xianbei people disappear on this grassland, but even the governor who had been fighting with the Huns not long ago suddenly lost traces of the Huns' army these days. Secondly, they found many traces of bonfires on some grasslands in Wuyuan County. Judging from the situation of the bonfire, it should have been a few days ago that someone passed by here."

Cui Jun hesitated: "Well? The Xianbei and the Huns disappeared at the same time? What's going on..."

Cheng Liang couldn't care so much: "Hey, since we know that the Xianbei people are heading west, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and chase after us. When we catch the Xianbei people, we will know it as soon as we ask."

He said that he was going down the city tower to assemble the army.

"Second brother, wait. This matter is strange. According to this sign, it seems that all the Xianbei tribes are heading towards Shuofang Generation, but what are they doing there? The Hun army is gone. Is it really like the previous news that they are preparing for a war in Shuofang Generation? But this is unreasonable..."

Cheng Liang said impatiently: "What's wrong with this? They are fighting for the grassland and fighting to the death. We're going to reap profits. It's a good opportunity for heaven!"

Zhang Yong shook his head and said, "Third brother, although the Xianbei and the Xiongnu are not as prosperous as our Han Dynasty culture, they are not fools. Even though they know that our Han army is in the northern expedition, they will fight to the death first, which will make us cheaper? I think there is something wrong with this."

Zhu Ye also advised Cheng Liang, "Oh, third brother, you are too anxious, and your elder brother didn't say anything. It's either that I'm squeezing you, but among us brothers, the third brother is the least fond of studying, so your ideas and ideas must be the worst, haha!"

Cheng Liang glared at Zhu Ye in anger: "You are smart, what do you think you should do?"

Zhu Ye grinned and said, "Hehe, I'm just smarter than you. I can't accept it. If you want me, it's better to send a light cavalry with good combat power and small numbers to go deep into the grassland and explore it carefully. When you encounter a small group of Xianbei troops, you can directly destroy it, or catch them and ask. When you encounter a large Xianbei troops, their actions will definitely not be as convenient as the small team. If you want to catch up, you can't catch up. How about it, isn't it wonderful?"

Cheng Liang was stunned: "Don't say it, this idea sounds quite reasonable..."

Zhu Ye looked proud, no one noticed it. A trace of his mouth seemed to have succeeded in his plan.

Cui Jun suddenly shouted: "No! General Dehui is talking about your five hundred Thunder God Cavalry, right?"

Zhu Ye grinned, "Of course, who else is more suitable for this mission than our Thunder Knight?"

Cui Jun shook his head and said, "Yes, in terms of combat effectiveness, even if General Guan's Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry picks out 500 people, it will not be as good as your Thunder God Cavalry. However, after all, the number of people is too small. Once you go deep into the grassland and encounter a Xianbei army, your situation will be very bad! You must know that now all the Xianbei tribes are gathering westward, and the Xianbei cavalry you encounter will be at least tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, which is not a joke!"

Zhu Ye looked indifferent.

"Then don't you have any other way? Besides, in terms of war horses, the war horses of my Thunder God Cavalry are chosen by thousands of people. In terms of soldiers, each of them has extraordinary martial arts. It's no problem to fight against those Xianbei soldiers. Even if they are outnumbered, I can run, right? With our riding skills and war horses, I don't believe they can catch up!"

Liu He, Guan Yu and others shook their heads repeatedly.

"No, no, this matter is too risky, and you will never be allowed to do it randomly!"

Zhu Ye became anxious, as if he was surprised by this matter.

"Oh, your army is following me. I'm just exploring the way forward. When I encounter danger, I run back and it will take less than half a day to meet you. What's there to worry about? No matter, I must go anyway."

Liu He said with a tense face, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, vain, they are familiar with the terrain than you, they know more than you, and there are more people and horses than you, if you pursue them for a long time, you may chase you. Don't joke about this!"

Zhu Ye scratched the back of his forehead and smiled, "Hehe, I, Zhu Ye, have always been unwilling to accept anyone except my elder brother. Even the second brother, third brother, and fourth brother are no exception. But this time, I really can't listen to my elder brother's words."

When Liu He heard this, he looked at Zhu Ye with surprise. This guy followed him for many years, but he had never been so disobedient before. It was a bit abnormal.

"Dehui, you..."

Zhu Ye smiled and said, "This Northern Expedition, my second brother's Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry made outstanding achievements. He is also a cavalry. My Thunder God Cavalry always follows my elder brother's army and clean up the battlefield behind him. Why?"

Although he had a meaning of comparing the rules, he had always been innocent by nature. Everyone knows that he had no jealousy towards Guan Yu.
