The army continued to march to the northeast, and the gates of the cities along the way were wide open, and the officials groveled and set up banquets for the army, and the road was unimpeded.

Usually when you are annoyed, you can chat with Zhang Qiying and Liu Cong, Wang Baoyu has the heart to match these two people, they are both of the same age and family background, and they are both pure and kind children, but they didn't succeed because they don't look down on each other.

Zhang Qiying dislikes Liu Cong's sissy, her skin is whiter than her own eyes, which looks like a man. Men should have a bear's waist, walk with a strong back, and have a healthy complexion.

Liu Cong, after the famous family, the eyelids are also high. Zhang Qiying, this guy is dark, he can't see anyone if he doesn't touch it when he sleeps at night.

There are also entertainment activities after camping at night, most of which are bonfires and generals gather to learn martial arts. Wen Ping and Fan Jinqiang are already familiar with each other, appreciate each other, and now they are even more affectionate. What Wen Ping didn't expect was that Fan Jinqiang's martial arts had increased suddenly, and he was already above him.

All the people are united in one heart, and the harmony is very good. But there is also one person who is more depressed and doesn't talk all day long, and that is Comrade Cai Mao. Although he is known as Wang Baoyu's uncle, he did not do his duty as an uncle, he wanted to kill Zhuge Liang at the beginning, and later forced his master Liu Cong to abdicate. No, Wen Ping has a smile on everyone, and when he sees Cai Mao, he is annoyed, thinking of all the things in the past, and he has the heart to kill him.

A month later, Wang Baoyu's army approached Fanyang City, and Liang Xi, the assassin of Youzhou, heard the news and led the crowd out of the city for ten miles, and welcomed the Northern Expedition army into the city very enthusiastically.

Liang Xi is about fifty years old, looks very majestic, respectful to Wang Baoyu, extraordinarily polite, and receives Wang Baoyu and Cao Zhang with the highest specifications.

Liang Xi was originally a proud figure, but there was a reason why he treated Wang Baoyu like this. Last time, Wang Baoyu went north to pick up Cai Wenji as the Fuyuan Supervision Envoy, he didn't care at all, he just let his subordinates deal with it, but he didn't expect that Wang Baoyu not only didn't have any dissatisfaction after he went back, but he actually praised him in front of Cao Cao.

Therefore, Cao Cao gave Liang Xi a reward, and was also promoted to the Marquis of Guannei, knowing that this is all the credit of Wang Baoyu, Liang Xi is grateful, and has never had the opportunity to repay, now that Wang Baoyu is here, he naturally has to do his best to entertain.

"General Wang, there was a lot of neglect last time, I hope you don't care." Liang Xi said politely.

"It's okay, I didn't want to disturb everyone last time." Wang Baoyu said.

"Thank you General Wang for praising Liang in front of the prime minister, Liang is where he is today."

"Hey, hey! It's a trifle. Wang Baoyu smiled, he almost couldn't remember this matter, and said: "Your credit is here, it is precisely because of your good policy that you have subdued the heart of the Huns." If it's gold, it will shine, Cao Cheng is very satisfied with you, and it doesn't have much to do with whether I say good things or not. ”

Liang Xi couldn't help but thank him again, glanced at Cao Zhang, and said to Wang Baoyu: "There are many difficulties in conquering Wuhuan and Xianbei, and there are 50,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, which can be dispatched by the two generals at any time. ”

Cao Zhang disagreed, as a general who led troops to fight all year round, in his eyes, Wuhuan and Xianbei were not worth mentioning at all. Wang Baoyu knew the importance of soldiers, horses, food and grass, and hurriedly nodded: "Thank you Lord Liang for your support, if there is a need, I will definitely speak." ”

"Liu Bao, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, also sent a message that if General Wang spoke, he could also send troops to help." Liang Xidao.

Cao Zhang was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Baoyu's popularity to be so good, and he had friends everywhere.

Wang Baoyu laughed and said, "Haha, with everyone's help, this battle will definitely be able to win." ”

"It will be a triumphant return." Cao Zhang echoed with a smile.

Speaking of which, Wang Baoyu admires Cao Zhang's mind very much, a good relationship with himself is one thing, in the past, he was the leader, and now he is responsible for commanding the troops, and he does not see any complaints, but he has a normal mentality, speaks kindly, and knows how to respect and humility on key occasions, but it is also very rare.

Subsequently, Wang Baoyu asked about some things about Wuhuan and Xianbei, Liang Xi has been guarding the border for many years, and he must know a lot.

Speaking of these, Liang Xi couldn't help frowning and said: "Wuhuan has about 50,000 soldiers and horses, which seems to be mediocre in strength, but it should not be underestimated. ”

"Let's talk about it."

"Wuhuan has an assault cavalry, claiming to be the world's famous cavalry, although there are only 5,000 people, but its action is extremely fast, coming and going without a trace, often to the border to loot, so that the people are not able to make a living, have migrated to the interior." Liang Xidao.

Wang Baoyu is also a person who has fought with the army, and he knows the strength of the cavalry, and he can't help but be frightened.

"The world's famous horsemen were defeated by their father, but they never expected it to make a comeback." Cao Zhang also frowned for a while, and he no longer dared to be arrogant.

"The Wuhuan people are good at riding and shooting, and it is not difficult to reorganize the cavalry." Liang Xidao.

"How's the situation on the Xianbei side?" Wang Baoyu asked again.

"Xianbei and Wuhuan habits are similar, but the clansmen are not as strong as Wuhuan, but there are more than 100,000 troops, and its big leader Kebi can be all-round in civil and military affairs, and he has the ambition to unify Xianbei Wuhuan, this person is good at using tactics, and it should not be underestimated." Liang Xidao.

Wang Baoyu originally thought that it would not be difficult to attack a barbarian place like Wuhuan Xianbei, but judging from Liang Xi's narration, things were far more complicated than imagined.

Liang Xi said that the Wuhuan people are easy to identify, their men only have hair on top, and Xianbei looks similar to the Han people, but they are also recognizable in bright and colorful clothes.

In the following days, Wang Baoyu chatted with Liang Xi without any trouble, just to get a deeper understanding of these two so-called barbarian peoples. As the relationship got closer and closer, Wang Baoyu took out the map given by Zhong Xuan again, pointed to a place and asked if he could reach here by conquering these two ethnic groups.

The place Wang Baoyu was referring to was, of course, his approximate location in the modern Shenshi Village, and only in this place could he possibly find the so-called Divine Stone, which was also the meteorite that fell from the sky.

"The prime minister has such lofty ambitions?" Liang Xi asked excitedly.

"It's just me who asks about the situation." Wang Baoyu explained.

Liang Xi was puzzled, and Cao Zhang didn't understand, even if he established his own private kingdom, he didn't have to go to this cold place, right?

Liang Xi flipped out his map, compared it for a while, frowned, but said something that made Wang Baoyu want to cry without tears.

Liang Xi said that if you want to get here, you are afraid that it will not be easier than Wuhuan Xianbei, because you have to conquer a country and a barbarian nation. That country is called Buyeo Country, and the name and writing of that ethnic group are a bit strange, called 挹 (yi) Lou.
