Zhang He received Yuan Shao's message, divided half of his troops from Yuan Mai's men, waved goodbye, and led his troops to leave Shangdang and go to Liyang, just south of Yecheng, to garrison.

After getting along for a while, Zhang He found that he and the fourth prince became more and more in love, and he had the meaning of seeing each other late. It's a pity that they can't fight side by side, so they can only be separated temporarily. But he secretly made up his mind in his heart that if the lord chooses an heir in the future, he must listen to the advice of his staff and generals, and he must unswervingly stand on the side of the fourth prince.

Compared with the two brothers, Yuan Mai is much better. Treat people politely, without arrogance, love soldiers like children, and treat the people like parents. And resourceful, courageous, and decisive, like a wise man who can achieve great things. Under his command, the Hebei Army will definitely be able to do something in the future and achieve the cause of hegemony.

"Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, General Fenwu, please stay!"

Zhang He hugged his wrist again and said goodbye to Yuan Mai, asking him not to send it again. He led Zhou Cang to send out more than ten miles, and talked about a lot of topics along the way, from how to destroy Gongsun to the direction of the Xuzhou War, and even a little dry along the way.

Yuan Mai also felt that it was almost over, and it would be a bit contrived to continue to send it, which would give people a sense of hypocrisy. The highest level of winning people is to make the other party sympathize with you, but also make the other party unaware, which is the highest means to win people's hearts.

"In that case, don't leave it at that. General Junyi's insight made Mai admire, and when he returned to Yecheng one day, he would inevitably go to the palace to ask for advice. Yuan Mai stopped and hugged his wrist to say goodbye to Zhang He. And his men.

Zhang He spurred his horse, kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust, and gradually went away. Nearly 20,000 horses and horses are flying eastward, like a long dragon. Seeing that the army had gone far away, Yuan Yuan turned his horse's head and returned to the camp under Shangdang City.

In the early hours of the morning, he received news from the spies, saying that Yang Chou had killed Hanoi Taishou Zhangyang, occupied the city, and was preparing to surrender the city to Cao Cao. Yuan Mai and Tian Feng discussed slightly. didn't wait for Yuan Shao to give any instructions. Immediately send Lu Yi, Hao Zhao, and Wang Shuangtong to lead 20,000 horses, divide the troops into three routes, and attack Hanoi, and be sure to seize Shangdang before Cao's army. After taking Hanoi. Yuan Mai and Tian Feng commanded the remaining 4,000 men. Escorted grain and grass to Hanoi.

Farewell Zhang He. Yuan Mai returned with Zhou Cang and more than 30 horsemen to the Shangdang.

After nearly a month of fierce fighting, what should have been spring was full of joy, and a green field all over the mountains became barren. The dried bandit blood stains can still be seen on the hillside from time to time, fully demonstrating the cruelty of war.

"Childe, you and General Zhang Junyi can talk very well, I think Childe, you are really good at coaxing people, it seems that General Zhang admires you, if you fight with the other two sons in the future, General Zhang will definitely support you!" Zhou Cang followed Yuan Maima and said with a smile.

Yuan Maiwan smiled: "Look at what you said, what is coaxing people?" That's Childe is attractive, don't you think Childe can talk to anyone? Does Yuanfu think that I can't talk to my son? ”

Zhou Cang scratched his scalp and smiled: "I don't mean that, and I'm a rough person, I am grateful for the importance that Gongzi attaches to me, whether I can talk about it or not, I have to be loyal to Gongzi!" ”

At this moment, a fast horse galloped on the opposite side, and it was the herald who came to Yuan Mai to report to Le Mayu: "General Qiyu, the Hun envoy is visiting and is waiting in the camp. The army lord sent me to urge the general to return to the camp quickly! ”

"Oh...... The Hun envoy came so quickly? I've been waiting for a long time. Hurry back! Yuan Mai muttered, urging the horse to gallop, no longer leisurely wandering.

It had been three days since the Xiongnu had been shot, and Yuan Mai ordered the craftsmen to make a coffin and put Yu Fuluo in it for embalming. In order to wait for the Xiongnu to send an envoy to negotiate the terms of exchange. Even if the Huns have no etiquette and no culture, it is impossible for them to ignore their death. Therefore, Yuan Mai firmly believed that the Huns would definitely send envoys to negotiate the terms of exchange, but he did not expect to come so quickly.

As for what to exchange with the Huns, Yuan Mai had already made up his mind. If you want gold and silver and wealth, the Huns will definitely not be able to provide it, and it is not of much value if you ask for it. The specialty of the Huns is horses, and this time they should take the opportunity to ask for a batch of war horses to expand the strength of the cavalry under their command. After all, on the battlefield, the cavalry is the real king's army, with the most perfect combination of mobility and attack.

At the time of the Northern Expedition, this army had 1,200 cavalry, and after annexing the Yanmen soldiers under Yuan Xi's command, the cavalry expanded to 4,500 people. A few days ago, Yuan Shao passed the message and ordered to divide half of Zhang He's troops, in order to win over this good general, Yuan Mai selflessly distributed 2,000 cavalry to Zhang He, so there were only 2,500 cavalry left under his command. At this point, cavalry obviously does not have enough deterrent power on the battlefield.

Therefore, Yuan Mai's first thought was to ask the Huns for 3,000 war horses, with the characteristics of the Huns' nomadic people, Yuan Mai believed that this condition should not be difficult for them. In addition to asking for horses, Yuan Mai has another condition, I don't know if he can do it? But still want to give it a try.

Yuan Mai's condition is that she is a woman, not a beautiful woman of the Huns, but a Han woman, and her name is Cai Yan.

As a man who yearns for the Three Kingdoms, in addition to those admirable heroes and resourceful people, the beauties of the Three Kingdoms are also what makes a normal man dream. Heroes and heroes, beauties like jade, it's exciting to think about. Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, Xiao Qiao, Cai Yan, Sun Shangxiang, etc., are undoubtedly the leading women of this era, since you have the opportunity to meet them, why not try it yourself?

As for whether to enter the harem, Yuan Mai has not considered this step yet. At the moment, all I want to think about is to see, and as for what will go in the future, then it will develop naturally. If there is fate, the melons are ripe, Yuan Mai doesn't mind including these beauties in the harem, he loves the country and loves the beauties more, men have always been like this, there is nothing to spur!

He Cao Apu established Tongque Terrace, and every day YY hugged the big and small Qiao, "taking the second Qiao in the southeast, and sharing it with him day and night", which is passed on as a good story, and he should take her as an example.

In addition, Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong, is a world-famous bachelor and has a great reputation in the Central Plains. As his daughter, Cai Yan is also talented and well-known among scholars. Cao Cao later ransomed her back, and achieved a good story in history, composing the allusion of "Wen Ji returns to Han", and now this task has been completed by himself.

"Just these two conditions, three thousand war horses plus Cai Wenji are indispensable, otherwise the Huns don't want to get back Yu Fuluo's body!"

Yuan Mai muttered in his heart and made up his mind again. The horses and whips were raised, galloping towards the Shangdang camp, galloping through the clouds and black horses under the seat like the wind, and throwing the entourage far away in the blink of an eye, and in a moment, the camp was in sight.
