Back in the barracks, Ma Chao's brothers and sisters introduced Pang De and the other four to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun thought about what to do next. Ma Feng said: "Brother Zilong, I don't think we are in a hurry to return to Luoyang for the time being, and it is not too late to return after blocking Yu Fuluo." ”

Zhao Yun looked at the map and said, "The key is that we don't know when they will come, how many troops will come, and what route they will take. Brother Yang, Brother Ling Ming, the information you provide is also very limited. ”

Yang Yuan said: "This is not difficult, General Zhao, you see ......"

Yang Yuan walked to the map, pointed to a place above, and said: "Yu Fuluo was originally in the Hedong area, he is a nomad, if you want to come to our Liangzhou, you need to cross the Yellow River twice, or bypass the Yellow River from the north." And the road is far away, they are bound to move the whole country, such a big move, it is impossible to hide from the world. And ......"

When Yang Yuan was talking, he looked at Zhao Yun and everyone, and saw that everyone listened to her very carefully, and then continued: "The soldiers and civilians of the whole country of Yufuluo are actually an alliance of several tribes, and if they want to come to Liangzhou, it is impossible for them to enter the boundary of Liangzhou, and they are bound to ...... in this place."

The place that Yang Yuan is referring to has a market town not far from it on the map, which is called Yulin.

Yang Yuan said: "One hundred and fifty miles northwest of Yulin, the water is abundant and the grass is fertile, just suitable for grazing and herding in groups, some time ago, I heard that there are a large number of herdsmen who have migrated here to live, from the map analysis, I speculate that this group of herdsmen is the most likely in Fuluo." ”

Ma Feng put forward a different opinion: "It may also be a certain department of Xianbei." ”

Yang Yuan shook his head and said: "Impossible, I am very familiar with the Xianbei people, and the number of these herdsmen is very large, it is a very large tribal alliance, at least more than 100,000 people!" ”

Zhao Yun looked at the map and said: "Yulin is at least three hundred miles here, if you want to go to Liangzhou, there are several roads to go, and the nearest road must pass through here." ”

Ma Chao said: "We just need to wait for the rabbit here?" ”

Zhao Yun looked at the map left and right, and then instructed his subordinates to send scouts to investigate, and sent people back to Liangzhou to urge food, and then said: "We will rest here for three days, and after confirming the accuracy of the information, we will make a decision on whether it is better to take the initiative or defend passively." ”

All the generals said yes.

Ma Chao introduced Pang De to Zhao Yun again, praised his martial arts and strength, and had been included in the account as a general, and introduced Yang Qiu's brothers and sisters, saying that he wanted to marry Yang Yuan as his wife.

Zhao Yun first congratulated, and then said: "The author of the analysis of the situation in Liangzhou, is Yang Tieqiu's this young lady?" ”

Yang Yuan was dressed in men's clothes, and he also clenched his fists like a man and said, "It's just a little girl." ”

Zhao Yunzan said: "It's amazing, I have read several of your articles, every word is fine, and every sentence is bloody." ”

Yang Yuan said shamefully: "The general praises falsely. ”

Zhao Yun said again: "Meng Qi, you have Miss Yang, it is your luck, and it is also the luck of my Han army, you can learn strategy, comparable to Guan Zhong." ”

Yang Yuan was even more ashamed, and Ma Chao was also happy. And said: "General, the last general begs me to go to Yulin for a trip." ”

"You're going to Yulin?"

"Exactly."

"Meng Qi wants to go, how many soldiers and horses do you need to bring?"

Ma Chao said: "There are many people, the goal is big, and the movement is not convenient, so the general will go alone." ”

Zhao Yun hesitated, Ma Chao pleaded repeatedly, and then agreed, Yang Yuan said: "Meng Qi is my fiancé, since you go, I will also accompany you." ”

Ma Chao said: "Miss Yang, it's better not to go here." ”

Yang Yuan insisted on going, and said: "Although my martial arts are not as good as yours, I am smart, and I can also order a cavalry sword, so I don't need to take care of it." ”

Yang Qiu also said that his sister had learned martial arts, and he could get off the horse immediately, so Ma Chao agreed to take him there.

In this way, Ma Chao took Pang De and Yang Yuan together, and prepared to go north to Yulin to explore the Southern Xiongnu Yu Fuluo Department.

Yang Qiu and Liang Xing went to Liangzhou, firstly, to report to Ma Teng, and secondly, Yang Qiu proposed his relatives like Ma Teng.

Originally, the man asked the woman for marriage, but considering that it was a troubled time, he didn't pay attention to these statements.

Zhao Yun accompanied others to Chang'an and Luoyang to report the news.

Ma Chao was about to leave that night, and Zhao Yun said: "Three hundred miles is a long way, no longer for a while, it's not too late to go tomorrow morning." ”

Ma Chao said: "Otherwise, Sun Tzu said: The soldiers are fast." Yu Fuluo has always been a big trouble for His Majesty, I need to go there quickly to find out the news, if it is convenient, kill Yu Fuluo on the spot, cut off his head and come back, it is also a great achievement. ”

Zhao Yun no longer advised, only told him to be careful on the road.

Ma Chao said goodbye to Zhao Yun, took Pang De and Yang Yuan, and left Tangfang overnight and went to Yulin.

This group of three people, riding fast horses, each carrying weapons, dry food, drinking water and blankets, carried each other all the way.

Ma Chao is 17 years old, and Pang De is also 17 years old, but the month is slightly younger, and Yang Yuan is 16 years old, one year younger than Ma Chao. In this way, Ma Chaonaturally became the captain of the three.

Yang Yuan is still wearing men's clothes, but before leaving, leather armor has been added.

Yang Yuan's blades are double knives, and Ma Chao said: "There are three keys to cavalry warfare. ”

Yang Yuan asked which three keys were the keys, and Ma Chao said: "People, mounts, weapons." Needless to say, martial arts, reactions, and intelligence are all tests of a general, followed by mounts, and a good mount can add a lot of points to a general. Just say Lu Bu, the world's number one fierce general, known as General Fei, that's because his mount is a red rabbit horse. ”

Yang Yuan said: "Red rabbit horse? I've heard it for a long time, and it's a mythical existence. ”

Ma Chao said: "That's right, the red rabbit horse is fast and has strong endurance, so it can make Lu Bu 'fly', this is the coming of General Fei, without the red rabbit horse, how can he fly?" ”

"Brother Meng Qi is right," Yang Yuan said, "what about the third weapon?" ”

Ma Chao said: "The best weapons in cavalry warfare are long weapons, such as spears and broadswords, and there are also weapons for individual uprisings, such as whips, hammers, etc., while short weapons are only suitable for foot combat." ”

Yang Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Meng Qi, I understand what you mean, you mean that my weapon is not suitable, right?" But I'm a double knife when I play small, and if I change it, it's more difficult. ”

Ma Chao said: "It's okay, you follow me, I will protect you, who made you my fiancée." This time, I'm too soft-hearted, so I shouldn't have agreed to bring you here. ”

"Then when I get married in the future, I won't come out, I'll teach my husband and children at home, do you think it's okay?" Yang Yuan said with a grin.

"This one does."

The two of them talked and laughed, but they snubbed Pound, who was traveling with them. Ma Chao said: "Brother Ling Ming, have you ever been married?" ”

Pang De said: "No, the eldest husband has never made meritorious contributions in troubled times, and he does not dare to ask for the private affairs of his children." ”

Ma Chao smiled and said: "Brother Ling Ming has great ambitions, not to be underestimated, and he will make contributions in the future!" ”
