In terms of the power of the Divine Arm Crossbow, at such a close distance, those soldiers wearing heavy armor are afraid that they will be shot and injured, not to mention these steppe barbarians who wear leather armor or even do not wear armor.

After a round of shooting, Cao Ang waved his hand lightly and ordered: "The whole army attack, charge and kill them!" ”

With Cao Ang's order, the tiger and leopard rode like a tiger into a flock, destroying the camp of the grassland barbarians in front of him with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying.

The shouts of killing, the cries of crying, kept coming.

This time, Cao Ang did not rush into battle, but took hundreds of people to wander around the periphery of this camp, catching or killing those who wanted to escape.

Soon, this camp of the steppe barbarians was completely destroyed.

Captured women and children, more than 1,500 people in all.

After Huang Zhong led the people and arrested all the people of these steppe barbarians, he came to Cao Ang and asked what should be done with these people.

"Major General, should we deal with these prisoners?"

Cao Ang looked at these captured people and was a little helpless.

Originally, Cao Ang thought that it would be good to leave a few hundred prisoners in one raid of these camps.

As a result, more than 1,500 people were left behind.

"Forget it, let's go back with these captives." Cao Ang shook his head, originally he had planned to make this trip, at least to raid the camp of the two steppe barbarians.

As a result, I didn't expect to loot only one camp and bring back so many people.

Cao Ang took his troops and prisoners and retreated to Bingzhou to join Cao Chun and others.

Seeing that Cao Ang had brought back so many prisoners, Cao Chun was also a little surprised for a while.

"Major General, why did you bring back so many prisoners?"

Cao Ang smiled lightly when he heard this: "It seems that over the years, the various tribes on the grassland have developed quite well, and there are thousands of people in such a small tribe. ”

Cao Chun and Guo Jia, who heard this, both nodded seriously, after all, the current melee of the princes of the Central Plains has given these barbarians a chance to recuperate.

Although the original princes such as Gongsun Zan will sweep away these barbarians on the grassland from time to time.

However, as the war in the Central Plains heats up, the focus of these princes' operations has begun to shift towards the Central Plains, and these barbarians naturally have a chance to recuperate.

After years of growth and growth, their population has naturally increased significantly.

Cao Ang led the tiger and leopard cavalry, took a group of prisoners, and returned to Wuyuan County in Bingzhou to station.

At the same time, Cao Ang directly sent someone to deliver a letter, asking Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to carry the army north.

After Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun received the news, they immediately set off from Taiyuan and headed for Wuyuan County.

Prior to this, the two of them had already dispatched 150,000 of the 200,000 troops they had brought with them to various places in the state.

So on this trip, the two of them were able to lead about 50,000 sergeants.

Before Zhang Liao left, Ding Yuan also specially met with him.

"Wen Yuan, this trip is a long way, you and General Zhao must be careful."

Zhang Liao nodded when he heard this, and said to Ding Yuan: "Thank you, Ding Tingshi, don't worry, I remember everything you told me before!" ”

When Ding Yuan heard Zhang Liao say this, he knew that he should shut up, after all, he still understood the truth that if you say too much, you will lose.

On the way north of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao looked at Zhao Yun and stopped talking several times, which made Zhao Yun a little confused.

Finally, after Zhang Liao wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Yun asked, "Wenyuan, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Zhang Liao's expression froze when he heard this, and he said with some embarrassment: "Have you seen this, I still think I covered it up well." ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help but be a little speechless, and said in his heart that you guy, you almost wrote the words "you have something" on your face.

However, Zhao Yun did not complain about Zhang Liao, but continued: "If you have anything to say, Wen Yuan, you can just say it directly, you don't have to meet me like this." ”

When Zhang Liao heard Zhao Yun say this, he smiled and said, "Zilong, are you curious about what Ding Yuan told me when we were about to set off, and let me not forget it?" ”

Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, when Zhang Liao and Ding Yuan were talking, he was indeed in front of him, but he didn't dare to be interested in what the other party said.

"Wen Yuan, you are too careful, I know that you and Ding Yuan are old acquaintances, with your friendship, he wants you to help do something, I can naturally understand it."

"So, you don't have to worry about my opinion, I'm not interested in what you said before you left, and you don't have to worry about me talking too much."

"Huh?" Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this, and then after a long while, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you're not interested, I'll tell you too." ”

As soon as Zhang Liao's words came out, it was Zhao Yun's turn to be stunned.

I said I'm not interested anymore, and you're talking!

Zhao Yun complained about Zhang Liao in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and he still looked like a light cloud.

But Zhao Yun also figured it out, it turned out that Zhang Liao wanted to talk and stopped talking along the way, not because he was worried about going out and saying something, but because he wanted to talk to himself about these trivial things.

Soon, Zhang Liao told Zhao Yun all the things agreed between himself and Ding Yuan.

After saying this, Zhang Liao smiled and asked Zhao Yun: "Zilong, with your understanding of the young general, do you think the young general will punish Ding Yuan for assassinating the history?" ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he replied lightly: "Punishment is definitely punished, after all, Ding Yuan stabbed Shi, this time it is a big mistake." ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, his face became solemn.

And Zhao Yun continued to speak: "However, you don't have to think so much, after all, the young general is not a merciless person, presumably he will verbally punish Ding Yuan for assassinating the history, and then let him make some merits, and the merits will be offset." ”

When Zhang Liao heard Zhao Yun's words, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Zilong, you are similar to what I thought, and I also think that the young general should not be so unkind." ”

After listening to Zhao Yun's analysis, Zhang Liao no longer worried so much, but concentrated on rushing with Zhao Yun.

Three days later, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao came to Wuyuan County with grain and grass and an army of 50,000.

And when Cao Ang dispatched troops on his side, those tribes on the grassland were not idle.

The news that Cao Ang led his troops to loot a tribe soon spread.

The three tribes of the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan got together and prepared to discuss the alliance. (End of chapter)
