At this time, dozens of miles outside Juyang City, Xi Zhicai, dressed like a farmer in linen clothes, was walking along the path toward the grassland.

"Da da..." The sound of horse hooves came from the distant road along with the dust in the sky. Xi Zhi turned around and saw two big flags fluttering in the air with "Yan" and "Gao" embroidered on them respectively.

Two big characters.

"These are the troops led by General Yan and General Gao!" Xi Zhicai immediately guessed the identity of the commander of the distant troops and quickly found a secret place to hide, waiting for them to pass by.

Not long after, a rough conversation in the distance reached the ears of Xi Zhicai, who was hiding in the dark.

"Haha...Brother Gao Lan, I didn't expect that our lord would send us on a massacre mission this time. Think about last year when we galloped across the grassland and wiped out the Wuhuan tribe one by one. The scene was really exciting." Such a voice, you can tell at the first glance.

Yan Liang.

"Not bad! Then we will each lead five teams of 2,000 people, and we will go here and there to see who can kill more tribes!" Gao Lan also revealed his excitement in his words.

"Hey, did you sympathize with the elderly and children of Wuhuan last year? Why are you so excited this time and ready to compete with me?" Yan Liang teased.

"There has been no war for more than a year, and training my soldiers every day is almost killing me! Aren't you grinning from ear to ear with the same excitement?"

"That's, haha..."

…

As the sound faded away, the surroundings became quiet. Xi Zhicai did not get up from his hiding place. This was the only way to go north to Xianbei. He knew that these were only the 20,000 soldiers who set off at the front, and there were still people behind who had not passed.

.

Not long after, another cavalry force of 5,000 men passed by. After waiting for another half an hour, Xi Zhi saw Chen Yaotian personally leading the men and horses through the cracks in the grass, and then he patted the weeds on his body and got up.

"My lord, I have to say goodbye today, but I don't know when we will meet again. There are no eyesight on the battlefield, so you have to take care of yourself!" Xi Zhicai silently looked at the retreating team, sighed to himself, turned around and entered the path, and disappeared after a while.

Speaking of Yan Liang and Gao Lan, they led 20,000 soldiers and horses and hurried along the sparsely populated area. Within a few days, they reached the border.

At this time, we happened to reach a valley. It was getting late, the sun was setting, the sky was red, and the earth was illuminated red. Yan Liang looked up and said to Gao Lan on his right: "Brother, look at this

As for the weather, the weather will be good in the next few days."

"That's right, if you don't go out at dawn, the sunset will travel thousands of miles. The road is slippery and muddy in rainy days, which is not suitable for cavalry to travel. Even God is helping us!" Gao Lan took over.

"Haha... Xianbei does all kinds of evil, and God cannot tolerate it. Of course God will help us." Yan Liang smiled, waved his weapon, and ordered behind him: "Come here, send the order, we will set up camp here tonight."

"No!" The ordering soldier stepped forward to receive the order, intending to turn the horse's head and head toward the rear.

"Wait a minute." Gao Lan stopped the messenger and said to him: "Tell everyone, starting from tonight, no one can use fire. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed on the spot."

"Brother Gao Lan, why can't we use fire? The dry food in our hands is as hard as stone, and it is difficult to swallow without cooking it." Yan Liang asked doubtfully.

"You can see the fire at night from a long way away. We are now at the Xianbei border. We need to be careful not to expose ourselves too early."
