Chapter 222: Rushing into the Prairie

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and when Chen Yan thought of the Han people in the Hetao area who had been plundered by the Xiongnu, his heart was like a year! Finally, in the early morning of this day, Jia Xu came with three men and saw Chen Yan with a smile on his face.

Chen Yan was also very pleased, Jia Xu's ability to do things Chen Yan was very assured, not only is it rare in the world to respond to the enemy, but also the foresight is also proportional to Jia Xu's age.

Although Guo Jia is also witty and sharp, compared with Jia Xu, he lacks a stability brought by the precipitation of the years.

Chen Yan looked at the three people, one of whom looked like a Huns, was slightly curious, and said, "What is the origin of these three people?" ”

Jia Xu pointed to the Hun man, who was about forty years old, with dark skin and very dirty hair, and said: "This person is a Huns, and later settled down in our Central Plains, and now it has been five or six years. ”

Chen Yan nodded, and the man also hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

The other two men looked like Han Chinese, and their outfits were also Han people, one old and one young, the old one was fifty or sixty years old, already old, and the younger one was only about twenty years old, looking extremely young.

Jia Xu said: "This old surname Zhang, the small surname Liu, is a perennial business to go south and north, a while ago was captured by the Huns, and then conspired to escape, so he knows the grassland very well and can be a guide." ”

Chen Yan was even more satisfied when he heard this, and said: "You were captured by the Huns, so you two must hate the Huns." ”

The old man nodded, and didn't say much, but the young man clenched his fists and said, "My father died on the grassland, and I can't wait to kill the dogs!" ”

Chen Yan listened to this, but he was very appetizing, these days Chen Yan has been fighting from east to west, and his personality has also changed subtly, and he is no longer the gentle college student in the school at the beginning, but like a fierce beast, ready to let his enemies bleed and die at any time!

This point may be the change after grinding and working hard in this troubled world, or maybe the ruthlessness in Chen Yan's bones has been stimulated, in short, Chen Yan today, whether it is an outsider or his own people, is a character who can't be provoked, a ruthless character!

Now that the guide has been found, Chen Yan turned his head to look at Huang Zhong and said, "General Hansheng, how are our eight thousand iron cavalry ready?" ”

Huang Zhong sneered and said, "Just wait for the lord to give an order, these eight thousand iron horsemen will grow the blood of the Huns!" ”

Chen Yan looked up to the sky and smiled, and immediately set off and said, "Mr. Jia Xu, the grassland is dangerous, do you want to follow?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will not hesitate." ”

Chen Yan was even more satisfied, and immediately set off, prepared dry food, and rushed to the Qin Straight Road with eight thousand iron horsemen, three guides, Huang Zhong and Jia Xu, heading towards Jiuyuan County.

The vast grassland, the fierce Huns, Chen Yan made up his mind this time, he must solve the worries behind him, otherwise it will not be a good thing to lead the army eastward and catch fire in the backyard in the future.

Qin Zhidao really deserves to be the highway in ancient times, Chen Yan led the cavalry, and it didn't take long for him to reach Jiuyuan County, which was frequently infested by war.

This is also Lu Bu's hometown, when Lu Bu was born here, naturally he fought with the Huns, I am afraid that it is this harsh environment that has developed Lu Bu's brave and warlike character.

Chen Yan reined in the horse's head and looked around, only to see that most of the houses had already caught fire at this time, and it seemed that they had just been robbed, and the white bones were dead bodies on the street, which was indescribably desolate and terrifying.

Chen Yanchang sighed, "The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles", this sentence is really appropriate.

Huang Zhong's sharp eyes were also looking around at this time, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly said, "Lord, the Hu people should have gone west!" See! ”

Chen Yan followed Huang Zhong's guidance and looked, only to see the horseshoe prints on the road west of the village, and sure enough, he could see the whereabouts of the Hu people.

After not chasing a few steps, Chen Yan was even more sure of the direction of this group of Hu people, because on this road, the bones of Han people can be seen everywhere, which shows that these Han people were looted by Hu people on the road, ravaged to death on the way, and then thrown on the side of the road.

What's even more infuriating is that there are many Han women on the side of the road, who have been tragically ruined, and the wounds on their bodies are drenched, and they are indescribably miserable.

Chen Yan gritted his teeth, although he knew that in this era of war, human life was like a mustard, but his heart was still burning with rage.

Huang Zhong and Chen Yan's general temperament, in their eyes, they naturally scolded while watching, but Jia Xu seemed to be much calmer, just sighed, and didn't say much, which shows that this far-sighted military advisor has an extraordinary ability to tolerate these tragic things.

After thirty miles to the west, they had entered the grassland, and when they reached the grassland, it was difficult for the horses' hooves to leave a clear mark, and tracking became a very complicated matter. Moreover, the grassland is so vast that it is extremely difficult to discern the direction without the sun. Chen Yan couldn't help but thank Jia Xu for thinking thoughtfully, otherwise without these three guides, Chen Yan might not be able to get out of this grassland.

As he was walking, the guide Xiao Liu suddenly stepped forward and said: "General, it doesn't matter if we can't find the horseshoe prints of the Hu people here, this is the time to cook, as long as they dare to cook nearby, then the smoke will rise, and we can see it clearly." ”

Chen Yan nodded, feeling that Xiao Liu was really a veteran, and immediately asked, "How far can we see this cooking smoke?" ”

Xiao Liu pondered for a moment and said, "I have to ask Lao Zhang." ”

Lao Zhang was on the side, heard Xiao Liu's words, came over and said, "What's this...... If there is no wind, we can see the smoke twenty or thirty miles away, clearly, no problem. ”

Chen Yan was just about to speak, when suddenly the Hun guide roared, pointed to a black spot in the sky in the distance, and said, "Eagle! Let's be discovered! ”

The guide did not speak Chinese well, but Chen Yan could hear what he meant, and when he looked up, he saw an eagle soaring in the sky in the distance, which was flying in a very strange trajectory, as if conveying something to the people on the ground.

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and said: "This is an eagle domesticated by the Hu people, and it can observe whether there is an army nearby from a distance, oops, with this beast here, we can only be passive everywhere." ”

Chen Yan looked at it and said, "How far is this eagle from us?" ”

Lao Zhang looked at it and said, "It's not far, at most twenty miles!" ”

Chen Yan didn't say a word, patted the horse's buttocks, and rushed towards the eagle!
