After listening to Shi A's words, Huangfu continued to ask after a moment: "did all the Yan troops who broke out with general Yan join the army of Yanbei county?"

"No, originally general Yan meant to let them all join, but about 100 of them wanted to be with general Yan, so there were about 100 guards around him."

"Zhao Zilong, what is their situation?"

……

When Huangfu Chaobo inquired about Shi a carefully, Zhao Zilong, in Yixun City, Yanbei County, sat in the post station in the county seat, looking at each other with a look of regret.

"Now I finally know what it was like for the boss to travel on the grassland," he said

Xiaojie also nodded with lingering fear: "if you let me go again, I will never go again."

In fact, what they don't know is that Huangfu Chaobo was much more relaxed than they are now. One is that they have fewer people, only a few people, and they all have a few horses. Not only that, Huangfu Chaobo, they are well prepared. But Zhao Zilong and his party were different. When Zhao Zilong left Jiuyuan City, there were thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of their families on the horseback of more than 10000 horses. In addition to the evacuation of Wuyuan city and Manyi Valley pass, there were 20000 people under Zhao Zilong alone.

Zhao Zilong waited for five days at the north entrance of Manyi Valley, and finally arrived at the team led by Lao Du and Xiao Jie, who came in a hurry from the West. There were nearly ten thousand of them. As a result, nearly 30000 people were led by the three. Fortunately, Zhao Zilong had accumulated a lot of supplies in Manyi Valley, and Lao Du and Lao Du, reminded by Zhao Zilong, also carried a lot of supplies. So after the three families joined up, they started the great escape on the grassland.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao's goal is to capture the two counties, especially now Shuofang is still in the hands of Xiake, so he has no time and energy to take care of Zhao Zilong and his party, so that the three can successfully evacuate.

However, even so, the escape of 20000 or 30000 people is much more difficult than expected. Because there are a large number of family members, their speed is not fast at all, just like the migration of grassland tribes. In addition, they are not familiar with the road, so it took them more than a month to get to the grassland north of Shanggu.

It was here that Zhao Zilong met Yan Gang and his party who had escaped from Shanggu. Then they continued to March eastward with them. They didn't arrive at the west of Yanbei County until the end of May. Huang Xu, who was driven by the news, led the army to meet them.

Looking at the other two, Zhao Zilong said, "now you're on the site of Chaobo. What are you going to do in the future?"

In fact, along the way, Zhao Zilong has discussed with several of his subordinates several times. He has almost a clear idea about his own arrangement, but he has never been able to communicate with Lao Du.

"Lao Zhao, to be honest, our brother thought about it for a long time, and felt that he was not a hero. So when we came back this time, we were ready to be younger brothers under the boss. As for our subordinates, we were also ready to let the boss make arrangements. Anyway, he would not lose us." Lao Du pondered for a while, and then slowly said to Zhao Zilong;

Xiao Jie also nodded beside him. In fact, the two of them had already given up. Although he had two counties, he basically didn't take charge of the business. Moreover, with Huangfu Chaobo's reminding, he had a lot of income every month. This time, under the attack of Lu Bu, both of them lost their County town, which just made them as if they had taken off a thousand gold burdens.

As for the generals under them, at least they are all historical generals. Although their abilities are really average, they can be arranged casually by Huangfu Chaobo.

Zhao Zilong looked at them and said nothing more. He was different from them. They were lonely, but he had a large group of people to support. Therefore, in any case, he couldn't give up directly.

"Well, now that you've made your decision, I won't say any more." Zhao Zilong said in a deep voice;

"Lao Zhao, how are you going to arrange it?" Xiaojie asked Zhao Zilong curiously;

"I still want to try again, but this time, I'm going to Zongheng. If I can, I want to cooperate with him to win the whole Nanyang. Of course, this is only my own idea. As for Chaobo, I don't know what to say." Zhao Zilong replied;

"Nanyang is still a good place, but can you fight Zhang Ji and Jia Laohu?"

"I don't know for the moment. At least I have thousands of cavalry in my hands. Plus these soldiers, there are almost ten thousand people. If Chao Bo doesn't have any opinions, I'm going to return Heyin city to him, and then transfer all the soldiers and horses out of the city. I'm going to make a deal with the Heishan army in that small town. I'll also concentrate all my troops. In this way, I'll be able to gather up 10000 or 20000 troops. If I cooperate with them, it's not a big problem to seize several counties in Nanyang. "The other two also nodded in recognition of the speech.

"Where are you going? South or North? "

"It's too close to Nanyang in the north, and there's only one city in pheasant county. The place is too small. I'm going to go to the south, let Zongheng occupy Wuyin, and I'll send troops to occupy Wuyin. Then the two families rely on each other to block Zhang Ji's idea of moving eastward. Then I will send troops to the south to occupy Biyang, Fuyang and Heping's cities. If possible, I will control five or six counties, and then I will throw myself under the influence of Chaobo and let him seal me up as a prefect. " Zhao Zilong thought about it again and again, and finally told them what he thought, because he knew that they were the best friends of Huangfu Chaobo. Let them have some information first, so that Huangfu Chaobo could be prepared.

Zhao Zilong's words make Lao Du's mind move, which is not the same as Xiao Jie's mind. Lao Du's mind is much more alive. As soon as Zhao Zilong's words come out, he reacts. Knowing that Zhao Zilong wants them to bring a message to the boss, he nods and says: "it should sound good. Anyway, we are ready to pick a fight with the boss. At that time, we will talk with him Boss, tell me about your idea and see what he means

Zhao Zilong smell speech, long of a sigh of relief: "that please old Du!"
