Outside Zhongyang County, Yuan Yao sat in the Chinese army, and began to drill under Liu Ji's guidance while resting and stationing.

He Shen sent scouts everywhere to inquire about the entire state, and then kept comparing things according to the map.

"My lord, this set of military formations is called the one-word long snake formation, which belongs to one of the ancient formations, compared to the conventional military formation, the one-word long snake formation is more suitable for cavalry assault."

"The long snake formation is mainly divided into the head of the formation, the tail of the formation and the gall of the formation, this formation mainly relies on the head and tail wings, with the help of the fierce impact of the cavalry to attack."

"There are three common attack methods..."

Liu Ji stood by Yuan Yao's side, patiently explaining to Yuan Yao the arrangement and use of the one-word long snake formation, and the rest of the generals on the side all followed on both sides, carefully understanding Liu Ji's guidance.

After a period of getting along, not only Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, who followed Yuan Yao first, but even Zhang Liao and Xu Rong, who joined later, treated Liu Ji like a celestial.

These fierce generals gradually realized that this Liu Ji beside Yuan Yao was almost omnipotent except for his ordinary martial arts, which also made them understand the reason why Yuan Yao had always obeyed him.

After a few days of drills, the three thousand soldiers had adapted to the various changes in the long snake formation with the cooperation of Yuan Yao and the generals, and had become decent under Yuan Yao's orders.

Of course, such efficiency is inseparable from the ability of many people.

Yuan Yao was not stupid, but he didn't know much about the art of war, but after Liu Ji's guidance from shallow to deep, Yuan Yao quickly mastered the essentials.

And the rest of the generals, except for Xu Chu, who can't raise his motivation, which one is not a wise general who is used to using his brain? Even Huang Zhong, who has always been proud of his martial arts, has learned quite a lot.

Seeing that the run-in was almost over, Yuan Yao led the army to gradually move towards the northwest in silence.

In addition to the already fragmented Southern Xiongnu, there are also nomadic peoples such as Xianbei, Wuhuan and Dongqiang, which can be described as extremely lively.

Compared with the fixed stationing of the Southern Xiongnu, these nomads did not have a fixed scope of rule, and they were all like prodigal sons of the steppe, wandering around the border of the Han Dynasty, and were divided into different tribes, large and small, which were very chaotic.

The purpose of Yuan Yao's trip was to get close to a small tribe in Xihe County in Dongqiang.

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the bright moon hangs in the sky.

Looking far away at night, the Dongqiang tribe could occasionally see sporadic fires lit up, and the Dongqiang people, who had been mainly looting for a long time, did not feel the danger coming.

"Attack at the head of the formation, outflank at the end of the formation, strangle!" Looking at the tribe in the distance, Yuan Yao used the torch as a command flag and gave the order to attack in an instant.

Kill!

A roar sounded, Xu Chu, as the head of the formation, led his guards to rush with his sword, Tai Shici and Zhang Liao divided the tail of the formation into two sections and outflanked them, and forcibly killed them into the tribe.

Xu Rong constantly adjusted his position as the leader of the Chinese army according to the changes in Zhenxing, and because Xu Chu was the vanguard to rush and kill, Huang Zhong temporarily acted as Yuan Yao's guard and stayed aside.

It was originally a sneak attack in the night, and this originally small tribe instantly panicked, and there were screams everywhere in the entire camp, and all the soldiers were silently harvesting their lives, except for the screams that sounded in their ears from time to time, it was the Qiang people who fled everywhere.

"Kill them all, and bring all the cattle and sheep back to the leader for credit!" Compared with the silence of the soldiers, He Shen sent a lot of people who were proficient in Xiongnu to mingle among the soldiers and shout loudly everywhere.

A slaughter lasted two hours, and the victorious soldiers drove all the cattle and sheep away, and the supplies were collected by Yuan Yao into the warehouse of the Duanjun, and then he ordered someone to light a fire and reduce all the tents to ashes.

After the First World War, Yuan Yao followed He Shen's plan and asked the soldiers to deal with the battlefield, and then drove thousands of cattle and sheep to leave at night.

Due to the large number of cattle and sheep, Yuan Yao did not choose to occupy the city again, but hid his army in a deep mountain forest on the edge of the Great Wall.

Among the rolling hills, the lush forests are the best protective color, and the team of 3,000 people and herds of cattle and sheep have not caused much change, and if you don't go deep into them, you won't find a large army hiding here.

After a big victory, Yuan Yao was not stingy, and directly let people cook sheep and slaughter cattle, so that the soldiers of the whole army gathered happily in the deep mountains.

Smoke rises, and the whole mountain forest is filled with a strong smell of meat.

"Haha, happy!" Xu Chu took a sip of mare's milk wine while holding the water bladder, touched his mouth and grinned.

Yuan Yao slowly cut a small piece of roasted beef with a knife, dipped it a little with the old godmother, and handed the meat to Dong Bai.

Dong Bai took the piece of meat, with a smile on his face like a flower, he ate the piece of meat clean with a small mouthful, and then turned his head to look at Yuan Yao expectantly.

Compared with Dong Bai's directness, Cai Yan looked at Dong Bai enviously, reminisced about the taste of the old godmother, and swallowed his saliva vigorously.

"Hey... I don't know where you learned this kind of cooking, when I was in Chang'an, I also ate a lot of delicious food, but compared with your old godmother, even the Son of Heaven and Dong Xiang are not as blessed as you. Seeing Cai Yan's appearance, Diao Chan, who gradually figured out Yuan Yao's character, suddenly sighed.

After these days of tossing and turning, Diao Chan gradually became familiar with Yuan Yao, and she found that Yuan Yao was not as terrible as she imagined, and compared to other men, Yuan Yao can definitely be regarded as a righteous gentleman.

As a captive, Diao Chan thought that Yuan Yao coveted her beauty at first, so she had a fierce ideological struggle at the beginning, but who knew that Yuan Yao not only did not have the slightest abnormal behavior, but even Dong Bai and Cai Yan, Yuan Yao did not make any unusual moves.

You must know that this era is not a rule-abiding Qing Dynasty, and many rituals and religions are not as profound as the influence of later generations.

For example, Zhang Fei met Xiahou Yuan's niece when he went out, and carried it back to the camp tent that night to be the groom, if it wasn't for Xiahou's sister to explain his identity, I'm afraid Zhang Fei would not only not be responsible, but would also pat his ass and leave.

As Wang Yun's righteous daughter, Diao Chan has seen too many characters of all kinds, and the sudden appearance of such an anomaly made her notice a little different from Yuan Yao.

"Fortunately, I'm just not used to eating ordinary food, and my mouth is nourished, which is not a blessing." Regarding Diao Chan's words, Yuan Yao just smiled indifferently, and began to think about the current situation in his mind.

"If I can eat such delicious things every day like you, it will be difficult to swallow other things." Cai Yan also became a foodie after eating Dong Bai's old godmother once, and secretly became extremely greedy for Yuan Yao's seasoning.

Seeing Cai Yan's longing eyes like a wild wolf, Yuan Yao smiled awkwardly, and casually handed Dong Bai the barbecue stained with his old godmother.

Cai Yan looked at Yuan Yao's doting eyes on Dong Bai, his heart was so angry that his teeth itched, and his stomach growled.

Roar!

At this moment, the roar of a wild beast came from the depths of the mountain forest, with gusts of wind, rustling the surrounding leaves.
