The man who immediately looked at Zhang Lang and the others was nothing but Zhao De who was ordered to sneak into Bingzhou to contact the most powerful prince of the Xiongnu.

Of course, the Youxian King did not know his true identity, and just thought that he was the envoy of a Central Plains force who had a grudge against Zhang Lang.

Zhao De and his men left here and followed a path toward Dingxiang. Because Zhang Lang solved the problem here, he should go to Dingxiang soon. He needed to arrive at Dingxiang first and greet the Right Xianwang.

The group rode on horseback and walked along the mountain paths. In just two days, they arrived near Yu County in Taiyuan County. Yu County is located seventy or eighty miles north of Taiyuan County. There is a small path built during the Qin Dynasty nearby that leads to Yanmen County and Dingxiang County in the north.

If you don’t walk the official road from the west through the Fen River, then this is the only way to enter and exit Yanmen in the north, Dingxiang.

Just as Zhao De and his party were marching in the mountains, a young man with a common man suddenly appeared in front of him and was riding his horse towards him.

Zhao De recognized that he should be staying in Dingxiang's eyeliner, and he couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little surprised.

The young man rushed straight to Zhao De, stopped the horse, clasped his fists and bowed: "Sir!"

Zhao De frowned and said, "You are not here to look at the Youxian King, why are you here to do?"

The young man hurriedly said, "It was only because of an accident that my subordinates rushed to report to the gentleman! I accidentally learned about a situation not long ago. The main force of the Youxian King was no longer in Dingxiang!..."

Zhao De was surprised and asked in disbelief: "You said that the main force of the Youxian King has long been no longer in Dingxiang? What's going on?"

The young man shook his head and said, "I don't know. The camp of the Youxian King is obviously as usual, without any abnormalities, but I don't know when their main force left? The Youxian King's army that stayed in Dingxiang now has only 10,000 cavalry.

My subordinates once asked the left-behind leader of the Huns where the Right Xian King was going, but the leader was very rude and drove me out!"

Zhao De frowned and muttered: "What's going on?! What's going on?!"

At this moment, a young man who looked like a common man rushed up and said anxiously: "Sir, Yuan Mai's vanguard is here."

Zhao De immediately looked around and saw a deep dense forest on the hillside not far away. He pointed there and said, "Go to hide in the forest first!" Then he turned his horse and ran towards the forest first. Others also urged their mounts to follow.

After a moment, more than a dozen people in their group got into the dense forest.

Looking down from the dense forest, you can clearly see the mountain path, but if you look at them from the bottom of the mountain, you can't see anything.

Not long after, the rushing sound of horse hooves came from the south of the mountain road.

Immediately afterwards, about 4,000 cavalrymen were rushing forward under the leadership of a powerful general. The rumbling sound of horse hooves was like thunder, which shocked the birds around them, and the rising smoke and dust were flying all over the sky, like a sandstorm.

The army that suddenly appeared was of course the vanguard unit led by Zhang Liao. The powerful general who led the team was nothing but Zhang Liao.

Zhao De hid in the dense forest and squinted his eyes. He felt the strong murderous aura emitted by the army. He couldn't help but be frightened and murmured to himself: "After a series of bloody battles, the army that Yuan Mai has become a real iron-blooded elite!"

A feeling suddenly arose in his heart, feeling that the task assigned by Lord Xuan this time was probably not so easy to complete!

After the army at the foot of the mountain passed for a while, Zhao De took his men down from the mountain.

After looking at the north where Zhang Liao's army left, he thought for a while, and was about to go to Dingxiang's Youxian King's camp to see the situation before making plans.

However, at this moment, a carrier pigeon flew from the south.

Zhao De temporarily pressed the idea of ​​action and raised his left hand.

The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed on Zhao De's arm. Zhao De picked up the carrier pigeon, untied the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's feet, handed the carrier pigeon to a follower next to him, then crushed the mud seal of the bamboo tube, poured out the silk, and opened it to see it.

His expression suddenly changed, and he immediately cursed: "Damn the Huns! He actually used such a move!..." Although Zhao De cursed angrily, his eyes clearly showed a hint of at a loss.

Then he said to everyone under his command: "Let's go to Taiyuan!"

Everyone was surprised and couldn't help asking: "Sir, what are you doing in Taiyuan?"

Zhao De said angrily: "Of course I'm going to see the barbarian of the Right Xian King!" Then he activated his mount and ran towards the south. Everyone looked at each other and was very surprised. Although the main force of the Right Xian King disappeared mysteriously, why did it suddenly appear in Taiyuan?

Without even thinking about it, he quickly rode a horse to catch up with Zhao De.

Shangdang.

Zhang Lang released Yang Chou and others who were imprisoned by Zhang Yang, and ordered Yang Chou to lead 5,000 officers and soldiers to defend the city and take care of the tens of thousands of people who fled.

After doing all this, Zhang Lang did not waste any time. He immediately led Zhang He and Dian Wei, thousands of elite troops under his command, and the 22,000 Shangdang troops who had just been incorporated, left Shangdang and advanced northward to Dingxiang.

According to Zhang Lang's estimate, the battle situation in Dingxiang was already very bad, and he had to hurry up and hurry up.

The team marched at full speed along the official road, and the rumbling footsteps echoed between the heaven and earth. The morale of these Shangdang troops was significantly improved by a lot compared to when Zhang Yang was under his command, as if they were completely different.

No wonder, how can it be compared to fighting with foreign enemies when killing their own people? Moreover, Zhang Lang made a promise not long ago that all families with people in their families will obtain fifteen acres of fertile land and enjoy certain tax incentives.

There has never been love in this world for no reason. As the saying goes, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Only visible and tangible benefits can truly win people's hearts.

Thanks to such a policy, Zhang Lang basically eliminated Zhang Yang's influence almost overnight, and he dared not say everything, but at this moment, most of the Shangdang military officers and soldiers were sincerely willing to serve Zhang Lang.

In the evening that day, the army arrived at Nie County, at the junction of Shangdang County and Taiyuan County.

The army had been rushing for a day and was already exhausted. However, Zhang Lang did not intend to stop and rest, and ordered the army to continue rushing, preparing to stop and rest until midnight.

So the army continued to rush in the night, alarming the birds and beasts living in the woods on both sides of the road along the road. Until the moon was setting west, the army crossed the boundary marker and entered the jurisdiction of Taiyuan County.
Chapter completed!
