The sky is vast and the fields are vast, and three neat formations of cavalry are galloping one behind the other on the grassland.

"Boss, I heard that Yan Liang is the most powerful general under Yuan Shao's command. Can I go on the field to fight with him this time?" Ma Chao, who went on the expedition as Sun Ce's deputy, asked excitedly.

"Yan Liang's martial arts is indeed very strong. You'd better forget it and wait for another two or three years before you can fight with him. Otherwise, if you are killed, I will have to avenge you." Sun Ce said unceremoniously.

"Brother, you underestimate me too much. I can fight even General Zhao for dozens of rounds. Not to mention defeating Yan Liang, self-protection is not a problem, right?" Ma Chao said angrily.

Ma Chao, like Sun Ce, is a natural warrior, and his martial arts talent is not ordinary. Coupled with the guidance of so many military commanders under Yuan Shu's command, even though they are still young, they have both reached the peak level of first-class military commanders. Although

It's just a newbie, so it's much worse than some of the veteran top-level generals, but it can still be regarded as one of the best among the generals.

"General Zilong is a humble man. If you are serious, it will be great if you can defeat him ten times." Sun Ce rolled his eyes and said.

Zhao Yun himself is indeed not good at fighting generals. Even many veteran first-class generals can master dozens of moves in his hands, but in a real fight, almost no one can defeat him.

Wukai. These generals under Yuan Shu often have martial arts exchanges among themselves, and the top three are finally determined to be Huang Zhongdianwei and Zhao Yun, regardless of high or low. Because none of the three can do anything to the other, unless there is a life-and-death decisive battle.

Who is strong and who is weak.

Although they are both top-notch military generals, the gap between their background and strength is also countless. They have also reached the ceiling of military generals, but some have been training here for more than ten years, and some are even half a military general.

Their feet have already been stepped out. Compared with them, Ma Chao and Sun Ce are still far behind. Although Zhao Yun is not good at fighting generals, it is still very easy to deal with Ma Chao, who has just reached the top of the world.

"No?" Ma Chao said in disbelief.

Sun Ce felt very embarrassed by Ma Chao's reaction. Also, there really weren't many people in Xiliang who could fight. Those who thought they could fight had all left the miserable place of Xiliang. Even Yan Xing could be called

As the number one general, how high can Ma Chao's vision be?

"Bo Fu is right, General Zilong's martial arts is indeed superb." Zhou Tai, who has been guarding Sun Ce as a bodyguard, said coldly. Zhao Yun's martial arts is like an unfathomable pool of deep water that has not yet been explored.

After all.

"Although Yan Liang's martial arts skills are not as good as General Zilong's, he is still one of the few top-notch generals in the world. If you meet him, don't fight him unless necessary, just run away!" Sun Ce said to Ma Chao in a rare serious tone.

Ma Chao's handsome face sank slightly, and he nodded lightly. He has a strong temper, but he is not stupid. There is a certain difference between bravery and stupidity. He knows that the other party will not hold back and he will definitely not be able to beat him even if he is explosive. Head-on

There is no difference between forcing him to do something and seeking death. He would not do it unless he had to. After all, he is still young and has a long time to come.

When Zhou Tai heard Sun Ce's words and Ma Chao's reaction, admiration flashed in his eyes. These two people are worthy of being the people your Majesty has placed great hopes on, and they are indeed talented generals. At the same time, he thought of Yuan Shu's great trust, and he was secretly determined in his heart.

Determined.

He was arranged by Yuan Shu to guard Sun Ce. Just like Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were guarding Yuan Shu, he was a personal guard, and his purpose was to protect Sun Ce's safety. It can be said that Sun Ce can die, but before he dies, Sun Ce cannot

Death, his existence is to ensure Sun Ce's safety.

"In this battle, Yan Liang will be dealt with by General Zilong. What we have to do is to lead the army to victory. When the time comes on the battlefield, how many enemy generals you can kill will depend on your own ability." Sun Ce said.

"Boss, don't worry. After I am General Fubo, I will never lose the reputation of my ancestors!" Ma Chao said confidently, holding his head high.

...

Unexpectedly, the cavalry led by Zhao Yun and others did not encounter Yan Liang's army. The entire army seemed to disappear silently on the grassland, and the countless sentry cavalry sent out did not find out about them.

"How's it going? Haven't you found any traces of Yan Liang's army yet?" Zhao Yun said with a hint of anxiety. Although the grassland is vast, according to the route Yan Liang took to send troops, this is the only easy way to go in the direction of Changli. It is said that the two sides should have collided long ago.

. But now he has been searching for several days, but he has not found any trace of the other party.

"General, the general has already led the sentinels and generals to scour the area, but still can't find any trace of them."

"Continue to investigate. Where are the psychic soldiers?"

Behind Zhao Yun were three soldiers who looked a little different from the Han people. One of them had a goshawk standing on his shoulder. The two sides seemed to be communicating something. The two leaned down, making strange sounds in their mouths, holding wooden sticks and drawing inexplicable symbols.

There were many snakes and insects surrounding him.

Hearing Zhao Yun's call, the soldier holding the eagle flew the eagle away and said in broken Chinese: "General, they have not been found within thirty miles."

The other two people, after teasing the snake and insect for a long time, said with excitement on their faces: "General, we found it."

"What? Where?"

"Four days ago, a large number of people passed by here and headed south."

"South?" Zhao Yun frowned slightly.

These psychic soldiers are a military position specially established by Yuan Shu. They are mainly composed of Nanman people who are proficient in animal language and control of insect beasts, and Wuhuan people who are good at domesticating eagles and vultures. Their role is to scout the environment and find out whether there are ambushes and enemy forces.

The trend can be said to be extremely important. Zhao Yun still believed in their methods and words.

Immediately stopping the advance, Zhao Yun ordered his soldiers to rest where they were for a while, and summoned Sun Ce and others to discuss matters in a temporary tent.

Spreading the map of the entire northern Xinjiang, including Youzhou, on the ground, Zhao Yun pulled it out from his waist, pointed at a certain point on the map and said: "This is where we are now. The psychic soldiers just explored

"Four days ago, a large number of people passed by here and headed south. They were probably the cavalry led by Yan Liang."

"Could it be that Yan Liang guessed that we would come to fight, so he chose to take a detour?" Zhang frowned.

"If they really bypassed Youbeiping and chose to send troops from western Liaoning, then they should have chosen the Yangle route." Bu Zhi looked at the map and said.

"Along this road close to the coastline? Aren't they afraid of being discovered by our navy?" Sun Ce said.

"Xingba just returned to Jinling to report on his duties not long ago. I think the other party has already inquired about this matter." Jia Mu said. When it comes to intelligence, Yuan Shao has many capable people under his command.
