The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the biting cold wind came from the north. Military flags were blown and roaring, and had already turned into a yellow grassland. An army was walking on it. At the forefront of the army, a group of rangers came and went like the wind, followed by a large group of black cavalry. Behind these cavalry, more infantry were lined up in neat teams, singing military songs, and walking happily.

You're almost home, how can you be unhappy?

This army defeated the Eastern Army of the Yan army commanded by Zhou Yu on the shore of Dayan Lake. After this battle, there were thousands of enemies. Zhou Yu, the commander of the Yan army, led the remaining troops to flee west. After Gao Yuan commanded the cavalry to chase after him for a while, he did not care about himself. They let them go. On the vast grassland, Gao Yuan, who had thousands of cavalry, wanted to kill Zhou Yu, it would not be difficult. However, for deeper strategic considerations, Gao Yuan gave up the idea of ​​killing Zhou Yu.

Now Da Yan is full of holes and internal troubles. Foreign enemies have arrived. Gao Yuan has not yet prepared to face these foreign enemies, so he can only escape and let him escape back to support the already chaotic Yan Kingdom. He also needs to take a breath before he can recover his strength.

Along the way, Buyi fled Luofeng Luolei, Hao Lian's army and Hao Lianpo and others, and several Hun tribes surrendered to Gao Yuan, especially the Hao Lian tribe. Although the Hao Lian tribe is now ruined, it will never lose its power. Their former reputation is still useful to some small tribes. Seeing that Hao Lian tribe has surrendered to Gao Yuan, these small tribes also followed without saying a word. Once they collected the tents, rolled the beds, rode war horses, and drove cattle and sheep.

These small tribes have big and small strength. Some can produce one or two hundred cavalry, while others can only produce dozens of strong warriors. But together, they actually allowed Gao Yuan to obtain more than one thousand cavalry. Although the result of taking over more than one thousand cavalry was to bear tens of thousands of people of Huns and women, Gao Yuan was still very happy. What is the shortage of Jishi City now? It is a waste of people! As long as there are people, they can reclaim more fields and grazle more cattle and sheep. Only with more people can they collect more taxes. They can support more troops. The population base determines the strength of the Eastern Army in the future.

Compared with some of the mainland's county soldiers, the soldiers of Liaoxi County are much more brave and good at fighting, but over the years, the strength of Liaoxi County has been in fact not ranked in Yan State. Why? It is because Liaoxi has been fighting for many years and is sparsely populated. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and a large amount of land has been abandoned. Zhang Shouyou even had difficulty raising military expenses for raising the army. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to easily impress Zhang Shouyou and gain the privilege of his exclusive specialty in the county.

It’s a pity that Zhang Shouyou, such a hero actually died at the hands of his son. It’s a pity that Zhang Shubao is a man who is actually plotted against by his brother. There are also Uncle Lu and General Victory. They should have lived well, but because of Zhang Junbao’s own selfishness, they have all returned home now.

Tan Feng and Zhou Yu cannot kill them yet, but Zhang Junbao must catch them.

With a bang, a big drop of water fell from the air, which hit Gao Yuan's face. He stretched out his hand and saw a few more rainfall falling from his palm. Gao Yuan turned his head to Sun Xiao beside him and said, "It's going to rain. I'll order the whole army to camp!"

With a command, the grassland suddenly became busy. White, gray, and black tents were planted on the grassland. In a moment, a large-scale camp was formed. You must know that there are only more than 10,000 people in this team who can go to the battlefield to fight, but there are tens of thousands of Hun families who come with the army, which is a huge number.

The Hun tribes gathered by Gao Yuan were basically severely damaged in the last battle. Among the entire tribe, there were many talented people, most of them were old, weak, women and children.

Although the Hun tribe who came with the army had been placing tents all their lives, it was incomparable to the soldiers of the Eastern Army at this time. The soldiers of Gaoyuan were well-trained, and several groups of people combined to perform their duties. In an instant, a tent stood up. Compared with their speed, the Huns were as fast as snails.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the heavy rain was about to fall in a blink of an eye, Gao Yuan smiled and said to Sun Xiao: "Tell our soldiers, go and help these people, so as not to be wet by the rain for a while. If you get sick, it will be a big trouble."

"I understand!" Sun Xiao smiled. He had gathered so many Huns in the army, but they were still a little prepared for each other. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they could also bring the distance between the two sides closer. Sun Xiao knew Gao Yuan's long-term plan, integrate and assimilate these Huns, and completely integrate them into the large group of the Eastern Expedition Army, so he started with these small things.

Soon, the Huns were surprised to see that the soldiers of the East Army who had set up the tents ran towards them, took the wooden hammers, ropes, and tents from their hands, and began to help them. The few young and strong tribes who were sweating and worried about their heads cast gratitude eyes on these aliens. With their manpower, it is indeed difficult to place these families before the heavy rain comes. They had already made plans to get wet, but now it seems that there is no need.

On the grassland, there is a shortage of doctors and medicine. If you are sick, most of the time, you will leave it to fate. Survival will make you die. What's more, there are many people in the tribe now, the elderly, the weak and young. Once you get sick, the chance of survival is lower.

When the heavy rain finally fell and turned the entire grassland into a vast rain curtain, the troops had already entered the tent.

Gao Yuan sat cross-legged on the felt blanket, with a map spreading in front of him, and around him, Helanxiong, infantryman, Sun Xiao, Meng Chong, Zheng Xiaoyang and others sat around him.

Because a large number of Huns came to join, Gao Yuan temporarily adjusted his duties. Helanxiong transferred to command the Xiong cavalry that had just been surrendered, with Helianbo and Luo Lei as deputy. They were both Xiongnu and the same origin as these people, and were more likely to get close to each other. However, Helanxiong's original cavalry battalion merged with the cavalry led by the infantry and was led by the infantry. Although these cavalry were mainly Huns, they had been enlisted in the Eastern Army for a long time and had basically integrated into the Eastern Army. These people were respectful to the infantry and would not have any other thoughts. Gongsun Yi and the tiger head were the only ones who could make them look like an arm and finger.

In the direction of infantry, the six thousand soldiers were re-divided into three armies, and Sun Xiao, Zheng Xiaoxiang and Meng Chong were still acting as the governor of the three armies, and Naha, Xu Yuan and Yan Haibo were the deputy.

"This place is not far from Jishi City. The cavalry can reach it in just two days, and the infantry will probably have to walk for ten days. If we include the old and weak in the army today, there are so many wounded soldiers, I'm afraid it's only twenty days." Gao Yuan stared at the map and looked for a while. Although Jishi City had made all preparations before leaving, Gao Yuan was still worried. Zhou Yu sent 10,000 people to intercept him. If Tan Feng threw all the tens of thousands of Yan troops out of the siege into Jishi City, even if Jishi City could be saved, he would not have much confidence.

Shaking his head hard, Gao Yuan drove this thought out of his mind, forcing his mind to return to the present moment.

"Today, I'm summoning you here to tell me what I think about next!" Gao Yuan's fingers drew a circle on the map and said, "The governor Zhang of Liaoxi has passed away, and the elite soldiers of Liaoxi are no longer there. It can be said that Liaoxi is unprecedentedly empty now. Although there are still tens of thousands of Yan army, they cannot stop in Liaoxi County. In my opinion, Zhao will never miss this good opportunity. They will definitely rob the four cities we recaptured two years ago, because these four cities are a strategic node between Yan and Zhao. Once they rob these four cities, their eyes will be turned to Yuyang. Therefore, the court must invest heavy troops in Yuyang. These tens of thousands of soldiers will probably go wherever they will go."

"This is also the reason why I don't want to kill Zhou Yu." Gao Yuan glanced at everyone.

"So the general wants to take down western Liaoning!" Meng Chong said with a smile.

"Yes, I want to take over Liaoxi. If the County Governor Zhang is still there, I will have no shame to take it. But since the County Governor Zhang and Shubao are gone, what else can I be polite to be left with Zhang Junbao? We can make a big march into Liaoxi County under the banner of clearing the door for the County Governor Zhang and avenging General Shubao." Gao Yuan sneered, "As for Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, after this battle, they should think about how to negotiate peace with me."

"What if Tan Feng and others are unwilling to hand over Liaoxi and defend Liaoxi with their troops? Let's fight them for another battle?" Meng Chong was a little worried.

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Zhou Yu, Tan Feng is not so stupid. They fought with me here to kill him, and the army of Zhao State rushed in from the other end of Yuyang, and Yan State was in danger. I am afraid that in their hearts, I was just a disease of scabies, while Zhao State was a confidant."

"If they want to negotiate peace, we will have western Liaoning and Hejian!" Sun Xiao said excitedly.

"No, only western Liaoning!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook his finger, "It will be broken if you have too much appetite. What's more, there is only an empty shelf left in Hejian. Whenever you want to take it, you can take it. Don't scare others."

Everyone laughed, "Maybe Yan Shenghao was scared and he might come to surrender himself. It would be a waste of time at that time."

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "We are justified in taking western Liaoning, but if we ask for Hejian again, it will really confirm my reputation as a traitor. Now, I don't want to wear this hat. Ruth takes the rice step by step, and take it down first. But if Yan Shenghao is really unscathed and willing to surrender to us, we might as well accept it quietly."

"In this way, our Eastern Army not only has a vast grassland as a back garden, but also has the strength of the two counties in western Liaoning and Hejian. In addition, the general's father-in-law Langya County, the general can be half of the Yan State." Meng Chong clenched his fists and waved in the air.
