The next day.

outside the city.

Cao Zhi rode on a black horse, wore the armor of the Overlord, and stood majestically at the front of the team.

Behind Cao Zhi were Zhang He, Ju Qi, Le Jin and Chen Dao.

Behind these four people.

These are the 10,000 cavalrymen who joined the Northern Expedition.

Because of the anger towards the invasion of the Huns.

So this team now.

From top to bottom, from the main general to the soldiers.

All of them exuded a fierce murderous intent.

Just by standing there, their aura was no less than any other team of this era.

On the other side of the army.

Lu Lingqi is dressed in military uniform and looks heroic.

Behind her were thirty female nurses who volunteered to participate in the Northern Expedition.

Each of them carried a first aid kit that they had sewn themselves.

They are the medical support for this team.

……

Opposite Cao Zhi.

Gao Shun brought a group of civil and military officials from Taiyuan County to see Cao Zhi and others off.

Cao Zhi now had a pair of dark panda eyes.

Gao Shun couldn't help but look embarrassed, but soon he returned to normal.

After handing Cao Zhi a glass of wine, Gao Shun said seriously:

"This cup of wine is to wish the Fourth Young Master and all of you a successful start and to drive the Xiongnu out of Bingzhou in one fell swoop!"

"I wish the Fourth Young Master and all of you great victory and may you drive the Xiongnu out of Bingzhou in one fell swoop!"

Behind Gao Shun, other officials repeated.

The uniform sound is quite impressive.

Seeing Gao Shun actually in such a short time.

Conquer all the officials.

Cao Zhi couldn't help but sigh at Gao Shun's excellence.

He was famous as a military general and was also very capable as a civil servant.

As soon as Gao Shun finished speaking, Zhang Yan stepped forward and said:

"Please rest assured, Fourth Young Master. I will allow the White Ear Soldiers to continue training. I, Zhang Yan, will do my best to protect the people here. I, Zhang Yan, and all the subjects of Taiyuan County will always be loyal to you, Fourth Young Master!"

I know that everything I have now was given by Cao Zhi.

So Zhang Yan rushed to express his loyalty to Cao Zhi.

Seeing Zhang Yan say this.

Cao Zhi glanced at Gao Shun without leaving any trace.

Seeing Gao Shun's expression normal at this moment, Cao Zhi smiled and said:

"In that case, Taiyuan County will be handed over to you and General Gao!"

"Fourth Young Master..."

At this moment, Zhang Liao was carried in front of Cao Zhi by two soldiers.

Cao Zhi dismounted and came to Zhang Liao's side. He held Zhang Liao's right hand and said with concern:

"Wenyuan, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to rest well?"

"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Young Master. I'm already very sorry that I can't participate in this Northern Expedition. I will come to see you and all the warriors off, even if I have to crawl!"

Zhang Liao laughed.

Although Zhang Liao was smiling, Cao Zhi clearly noticed the loneliness in his smile.

Cao Zhi expressed deep regret about this.

But Cao Zhi also knew.

Zhang Liao's injury this time was not due to his lack of ability.

He was injured because he was unwilling to take action against the people.

Thinking of the glorious moments in history that originally belonged to Zhang Liao.

Cao Zhi smiled and said:

"Wenyuan, don't worry. Although you won't be participating in this northern expedition against the Xiongnu, once you've recovered from your injuries, I'll report to the Emperor and ask him to send you to guard Hefei and closely monitor all movements in Jiangdong!"

"I believe you will shine in Hefei!"

"really???"

Seeing Cao Zhi say this.

Zhang Liao suddenly stood up from the chair.

But because the movement was too big, it affected the wound and made him grimace in pain.

However, Zhang Liao said excitedly:

"Please rest assured, Fourth Young Master. If I am stationed in Hefei, even if an army of 100,000 were to attack, I, alone on horseback, would never retreat!"

"Haha... If the enemy really attacks with an army of 100,000, I won't let you go alone to fight them. At least, I will give you 800 soldiers!"

Cao Zhi said seriously.

Zhang Liao: “???”

"Hey, I'm just bragging, don't take it seriously!"

Seeing Cao Zhi being so serious, Zhang Liao shouted in his heart.

In Zhang Liao's opinion.

Even if the opponent's commander is a pig, it is impossible for an army of 100,000 to be defeated by 800 people!

Besides, Sun Quan has been known as a child prodigy since he was young. He would never hand over an army of 100,000 to such a useless general!

Seeing Zhang Liao staring at him anxiously.

Cao Zhi laughed out loud without explaining.

Then he jumped on the horse.

Looking at the people in front of him and the soldiers behind him, Cao Zhi shouted:

"Army, set off!!!"

……

Five days later.

The army entered Taiyuan County.

Along the way, we saw many burned villages, breached cities, and corpses everywhere.

A sense of doomsday tragedy instantly enveloped everyone's hearts.

Cao Zhi, Zhang He and other generals all looked solemn.

The soldiers who had been trying to find joy in the midst of hardship and laughing had now restrained their smiles.

No one in the entire team could laugh out loud.

The seventh day.

The army encountered some people who had fled to the mountains and forests to avoid the war.

These people were all ragged and skinny.

Like a savage who had just emerged from the woods.

The moment they encountered Cao Zhi's army, they wanted to escape.

Later, after Cao Zhi gave them food and water.

Only then did they realize that Cao Zhi and others were from the imperial court.

Hear it from them.

Since Zhang Liao's army left.

These Hun cavalrymen began to massacre the people wantonly.

In their words.

Since we can't defend Taiyuan County, we might as well turn it into a pasture.

That's this moment.

The end of the people of Taiyuan County has come.

Except for those who fled to the mountains and forests.

The rest were either forcibly taken away or slaughtered on the spot.

The once prosperous Jinyang City has turned into a living hell...

As the people cried, Cao Zhi and his men's faces became increasingly ugly...

"what--"

At this moment, a soldier raised his head and cried out.

He was shouting and waving the sword in his hand, looking like a madman.

Seeing this, Le Jin immediately stepped forward and knocked the soldier unconscious.

Obviously, the soldier made such a move because he was under too much pressure and could not bear the inner torture.

And things like this.

Ever since the army entered Taiyuan County.

Many cases have occurred.

Cao Zhi knew that if he didn't vent his anger, these soldiers would go crazy!

So the army accelerated its march.

Finally three days later.

They encountered hundreds of Hun cavalrymen who were out to plunder.

There was no hesitation.

The moment I saw them.

Tens of thousands of troops rushed forward.

Looking at the overwhelming crowd of people.

The group of Hun cavalry were all numb.

We only have a few hundred people. Is it necessary for the other side to mobilize tens of thousands of people?

But unfortunately, no one answered the questions in their hearts.

It won’t take long.

Hundreds of Hun cavalry.

Both the man and the horse were chopped into pieces.

Just at this moment.

Countless soldiers waved their long swords and roared to the sky.

Seeing this, Cao Zhi did not stop them, but instead took the initiative to join them.

And after venting this time.

The soldiers' spirits were barely restored.

In the next few days.

Cao Zhi and others went further north.

The more Hun cavalry you encounter, the more you will encounter.

However, under the thundering tactics of Cao Zhi's army.

These Xiongnu cavalrymen were all killed by Cao's army like chickens and dogs.

With more and more victories.

The soldiers' morale grew stronger and stronger.

The expression on Cao Zhi's face became more and more solemn.

"Fourth Young Master, something terrible is happening!"

At this moment, Zhang He rode up to Cao Zhi and said in a deep voice.

"I know!"

Cao Zhi said seriously.

"We've been so lucky these past few days!"

"I know that the Xiongnu cavalry is no match for the Han cavalry, but my intuition tells me that although the Xiongnu cavalry is weak, it can't be this weak!"

"Also, I've noticed that most of the Xiongnu cavalry we've encountered these past two days are old, weak, and sick. I suspect they're deliberately luring the enemy deeper..."

Cao Zhi expressed his guess.

Seeing that Cao Zhi and he had the same idea, Zhang He could not help but look at Cao Zhi with admiration and continued:

"Then what do you think we should do next?"

"What to do? Naturally, we must find the enemy's main force and destroy them in one fell swoop!"

Cao Zhi said seriously.

While talking.

Cao Zhi released the Saker Falcon from the system space.

The Saker Falcon soared into the sky and circled above the heads of Cao Zhi and others.

Thanks to the active exploration of the system during this period.

Cao Zhi discovered that he could freely drop supplies within a one-kilometer radius of himself.

Therefore, Cao Zhi no longer had to worry about being discovered when taking things out of the system.

And this is because Cao Zhi's Saker Falcon is a system reward.

Therefore, at the moment when Haidongqing and Cao Zhi looked into each other's eyes.

The man and the bird were like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they knew each other's intentions clearly.

"Wow!"

At this moment, an urgent eagle cry was heard from the sky.

Cao Zhi knew that this was Haidongqing reminding him that a large number of enemies were approaching.

Cao Zhi immediately shouted:

"Enemy attacking, all troops, take up defensive formation!"
