The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

"Zhen Mi, are you planning to come with us?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

Zhen Mi on Youyou's back nodded seriously: "Mi has a grudge to take, and only Mi can communicate with Youyou accurately. I hope you can bring Mi with you on this trip."

"Sir, you don't have to worry too much about Yu Mi. With Youyou here, Mi will be fine. Mi will only lead the way for you and your soldiers and will not cause any trouble."

The reason why Zhen Mi secretly came to Changping with Liu Zhaoqing was to find out which tribe the Hu people who attacked her father belonged to.

Therefore, her will to follow the north may be stronger than Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun.

After a moment's silence, Liu Zhaoqing finally agreed, which made Zhen Mi's face show a hint of joy.

After the last important people arrived, Liu Zhaoqing turned around and looked towards the Changping city gate.

Guo Jia, as well as Jiao'er, Bao'er, and Xiao'er, who came with them, were also standing there.

Liu Zhaoqing felt relieved to have them staying in Changping.

After nodding, Liu Zhaoqing raised his hand and waved.

Then, together with the two heroes beside him, he led thirty-seven cavalrymen and marched towards the north on the gray sand.

-

The war horses of this era were not like ordinary horses, their speed and strength were far superior to the latter.

The horse Liu Zhaoqing was riding was the best among the forty horses. It was not only stable but also extremely fast.

Leading the team, he quickly crossed a high slope, disappeared from the sight of Changping City, and came to a strange area that he was not very familiar with.

All I saw was a grayness. Even the rising sun was shrouded in the haze, appearing as weak and dim as a lamp without oil.

Although he never left Changping, Liu Zhaoqing's route had been planned long ago, so there was no stopping.

"Go northeast, pass Yuyang County and reach the Great Wall."

After Liu Zhaoqing said this, he pulled the reins and drove the horse to continue on the road.

Led by him, the team encountered several common ferocious beasts on the way. Without Liu Zhaoqing saying anything, Zhang Liao drew his bow and shot them to death on the spot.

The dark shadow that followed behind the team, the extremely ferocious beast Didi, casually trampled to death several ferocious beasts that were stunned by hunger.

After walking for about an hour, Zhao Yun saw a city appearing in the distance.

"Look, sir, that's Yuyang County!"

Yuyang County is the seat of Yuyang County and is also the northernmost place in Yuyang County.

Liu Zhaoqing looked out into the distance and saw a hazy city and nodded, but he didn't care too much.

He came to Yuyang purely by passing through, and used this as a signpost, and had no intention of staying in Yuyang.

However, unexpectedly, when Liu Zhaoqing led the team to pass through Yuyang, he found several neatly dressed officials waiting for him outside Yuyang City.

"Marquis Changping, please stay!"

With a shout, Liu Zhaoqing had to stop.

Lead the team to them.

"Are you... the prefect of Yuyang County?" Liu Zhaoqing asked after he came to the middle-aged man.

The man smiled and said, "That's me."

"I just heard from my good friend in Jicheng yesterday that the Marquis of Changping asked Lord Bo'an to go to the north to find Master Liu He."

"To be able to perform such a feat with less than forty cavalrymen, the Marquis of Changping really lives up to his name. It is a great honor for Youzhou to have you here."

"I am old, and Yuyang is close to the border and I cannot spare any manpower. I can only provide some insignificant help to the Marquis of Changping. I hope you will forgive me."

Then the man didn't say anything more and immediately asked someone to deliver the gift to Liu Zhaoqing on the horse.

It was a roll of black brocade.

After taking it and opening it, Liu Zhaoqing was slightly surprised.

"This is a partial map of the north, drawn by several generations of prefects of Yuyang." The prefect of Yuyang led the officials of Yuyang County to bow to Liu Zhaoqing.

"I hope that the Marquis of Changping can help us to kill all the Hu people who have invaded our borders, so as to show the power of Han!"

-

Half a quarter of an hour later, Liu Zhaoqing led the team and saw the Great Wall from afar.

With the map given by the prefect of Yuyang County, Liu Zhaoqing felt more confident about this trip.

Although the governor Liu Yu adhered to the principle of appeasement, it did not mean that the county governors did the same.

Obviously, the prefect of Yuyang County is one of the prefects who supports taking the initiative. We will definitely be able to communicate more with such people in the future, but that is a matter for the future.

Liu Zhaoqing still had to pay attention to what was happening in front of him at this time.

"Like Changping, the Great Wall in front of Yuyang County is not complete. It does not stretch to the sea like the one in Beiping, so there have been frequent invasions by ferocious beasts and alien races recently." Seeing Liu Zhaoqing stop and look at the Great Wall, Zhao Yun also looked at the Great Wall in the distance and said.

"Even if it is complete and continuous, it cannot change the current situation." Liu Zhaoqing shook his head.

"If the root cause is not resolved, building the Great Wall is just a helpless move."

“But we are not the kind of people who stick to the old ways.”

"Let's go across the Great Wall."

After saying this, Liu Zhaoqing rode his horse again.

After crossing the magnificent Qin Dynasty Great Wall, Liu Zhaoqing led the team forward towards the dangerous northeast without any hesitation.

They also encountered more ferocious beasts on the way, and although they were all killed, there were still a large number of ferocious beasts before they crossed Yanshan Mountain.

Liu Zhaoqing also deeply understood Liu Yu’s helplessness about losing the land outside the Great Wall.

Judging from the map, if Liu Zhaoqing wanted to cross Yanshan Mountain to reach the land of the Hu people, he would need to pass through Guangping again.

But when everyone arrived at Guangping City, they found that only the broken city walls were left.

This city, which was originally one of the northernmost frontier cities of the Han Dynasty, has been destroyed in less than two years and is now even more dilapidated than Changping City was more than half a month ago.

After seeing this, everyone felt even more deeply how difficult it was for Changping City to recover to such an extent in less than a month.

Since Guangping was destroyed, Liu Zhaoqing didn't need to waste any more time staying there. He led the team and soon saw a continuous mountain range.

Liu Zhaoqing found a road through the Yanshan Mountains from the map given by the governor of Yuyang. After killing more than twenty ferocious beasts, the team finally crossed the Yanshan Mountains before noon and arrived at the plateau of Mobei.

But just after passing Yanshan Mountain, Liu Zhaoqing pulled the reins to stop the horse, and looked ahead with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Not only him, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were also looking ahead with a look of slight surprise and solemnity.

The cavalry soldiers also looked puzzled.

But there were no monsters or enemies ahead, only a flat field of emerald green grass.

And this is exactly what made everyone look like this.

To the north of Yanshan Mountain, there is not only no yellow sand, but also blue sky, gentle breeze and full of green!

"I didn't expect the scene north of Yanshan Mountain to be like this." Zhao Yun said softly after being stunned for a moment.

"But, when I was in Yanmen, I also went to Mobei, and it was not like this there." Zhang Liao frowned and said, there must be something wrong.

Liu Zhaoqing was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems that Wuhuan has mastered the ability to change the weather. No wonder those people dared to act so arrogantly."

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun remained silent.

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing took out the map, looked at it once, put it away, and raised his chin slightly to face forward.

"Let's continue on to White Wolf Mountain."

Chapter 173 Liao's Desire

Bailang Mountain is located on the east side of Yanshan Mountain Range and north of Liaoxi County.

It is almost a thousand miles away from Changping. Liu Zhaoqing and his team have already walked nearly one-third of the way. Even if they do not eat, drink or rest, it will take until tomorrow morning to reach Bailang Mountain by forced march.

But that would be too dangerous.

A warhorse that has been bred using special methods and has a hint of the body of a spiritual beast can carry armored soldiers for a thousand miles a day and a night, but by the time it reaches the destination it is too tired to fight.

Moreover, this group of soldiers were only much stronger than ordinary people, but they were not capable of going without food, water or rest, marching thousands of miles and killing the Hu people indiscriminately.

So Liu Zhaoqing led the soldiers, and after marching for a while, they entered a forest and stopped beside a stream.

"Xu~"

Liu Zhaoqing pulled the reins, then took out the map and looked at it again.

At this time, Zhao Yun raised his hand and signaled the cavalry behind to stop, and then he and Zhang Liao came to the sides of Liu Zhaoqing.

"This stream comes from the east and should be a branch of the Rushui River," said Liu Zhaoqing.

"Then we should still be more than 500 miles away from White Wolf Mountain."

"More than 500 miles." Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said, "Sir, should we camp here?"

"Wenyuan, do you think we should continue marching?" Liu Zhaoqing put away the map and turned to ask Zhang Liao.

This seems like a test, but it's more like training.

After all, Zhang Liao knew Liu Zhaoqing quite well, and understood that this benefactor of hers had a kind of... inexplicable confidence in her, which was even stronger than her own.

Zhang Liao looked back at the cavalry behind him and said, "I think whether to set up camp or not should depend on whether there is any danger ahead."

"If there are no enemies ahead, it would be better to march a few dozen miles further. If there are, then of course we should rest again. Only after the troops have rested can they exert their superior combat power."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly, then looked at Zhao Yun.

There was no need for Liu Zhaoqing to speak. Zhao Yun, who was riding on the white horse and white dragon, turned his dark eyes and said:

"Yun believes that what Wenyuan said is correct. However, we also need to consider another factor, that is: the Hu people who abducted Master Liu He."

Zhao Yun bowed to Liu Zhaoqing and said seriously: "Although we followed Guo Jia's plan and came here to obtain resources for the development of Changping, Lord Liu also promised Lord Bo'an to save people. Finding Master Liu He earlier can give him more hope of survival..."

"And if you can find Master Liu He safely, Lord Bo'an's trust in you will surely increase greatly, which will be extremely beneficial to your future development."

Zhao Yun did not consider only Liu Zhaoqing like Guo Jia and Zhang Liao did. Liu Zhaoqing also understood that this was because he was still "Liu Yu's Cavalry Commander", but he did not care too much. Instead, he looked at Zhang Liao. He felt that Zhang Liao must have different ideas.

As expected, Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is not someone who breaks his promise, but I think our safety, especially yours, is more important than Liu He's life, so we should proceed with caution."

"It's right to advance step by step carefully, but Wenyuan, have you ever thought that if we stay in this beautiful grassland where the wind seems calm for a while longer, it may give the aliens more opportunities to prepare and counterattack?" Zhao Yun was not opposing, he was just making a suggestion.

"That's true, but Zilong's perspective is not that of the soldiers guarding the northern border. Although I was born a minor official, I have seen and killed people of foreign races. In the northern border, the greatest difficulty is not fighting with foreign races, but finding the traces of foreign races." Zhang Liao also spoke.

"The most important thing now is to conceal our whereabouts as much as possible, and then rush to attack after finding the traces of the aliens."

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were talking to each other, and the soldiers behind them felt that the atmosphere was getting heated.

Di Di, who was twice bigger than a warhorse and jumped out from the side, also looked puzzled. Zhen Mi, who was on its back, saw that the two generals seemed to be arguing and her eyes were filled with worry.

Fortunately, Liu Zhaoqing clapped his hands at the right time.

"OK OK."

With Liu Zhaoqing coming forward, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun of course immediately calmed down, and they both looked at Liu Zhaoqing at the same time.

But instead of seeing Liu Zhaoqing looking unhappy or angry, they saw that his face was full of smiles.

"Judgment" is one of the most critical basic abilities for a general. Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun clearly possess it, which means that they both have the potential to be great talents who can lead an army. This of course makes Liu Zhaoqing quite satisfied.

What's more, in fact, both of them are right. Whether to stop or move forward, it makes sense, so just being gentle together is the best strategy.

Liu Zhaoqing said, "I talked to Feng Xiao in Changping about the strategy to fight the enemy in Saibei. She said that when dealing with foreign races, we must be swift and decisive."

"Since I am leading forty cavalrymen to raid, we must take them by surprise and quickly find the foreign tribe that kidnapped Liu He. The best tactic is to take away all the people and property while most of the Wuhuan tribe are still unaware."

After listening, Zhao Yun nodded slightly. This was the same thing she thought.

But Liu Zhaoqing didn't finish his words. He looked at Zhang Liao, who looked a little depressed, and smiled: "However, what Wenyuan said is also what I think."

"The reason why I went to Bailang Mountain is because that mountain is one of the sacred mountains of the Wuhuan tribe. Now that the northern border is unusually peaceful, I will definitely see the Wuhuan tribe stationed in Bailang Mountain."

"Of course, we still need to investigate whether this is the Wuhuan tribe that kidnapped Liu He and how strong they are."

Liu Zhaoqing looked around and said, "So, Wenyuan, you and the troops will rest here first. The horses that Zilong, Zhen Mi and I are riding are not tired yet. Let's go ahead and investigate first, so that we can decide the timing of the march and the strategy to deal with the enemy."

"But you are only taking two people to investigate... isn't it too dangerous?" Zhang Liao said immediately.

"Don't worry Wenyuan. With Zilong here, you don't have to worry about my safety." Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile.

Zhao Yun also nodded to Zhang Liao.
