Judging from the power of the God Arm Crossbow, at such a close distance, those soldiers wearing heavy armor would probably be shot, let alone these prairie barbarians wearing leather armor or even no armor.

After a round of shooting, Cao Ang waved his hand gently and ordered: "Attack the whole army and kill them!"

Following Cao Ang's order, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, destroying the camp of the grassland barbarians in front of them with overwhelming force.

The shouts of killing and crying kept coming.

This time, Cao Ang did not rush into the battle, but led hundreds of people to wander around the outskirts of the camp, catching or killing those who wanted to escape.

Soon, this prairie barbarian camp was completely destroyed.

They captured women and children, totaling more than 500 people.

After Huang Zhong and his men captured all the prairie barbarians, they came to Cao Ang and asked what should be done with these people.

"Major General, what should we do with these prisoners?"

Cao Ang looked at these captured people with a little helplessness.

Originally, Cao Ang thought that it would be good to leave hundreds of prisoners after plundering these camps.

Unexpectedly, more than 500 people were left behind.

"Forget it, let's go back with these prisoners." Cao Ang shook his head. He originally planned to plunder at least two grassland barbarian camps on this trip.

Unexpectedly, they only plundered one camp and brought back so many people.

Cao Ang took his team and prisoners back to Bingzhou and joined Cao Chun and others.

Seeing that Cao Ang had brought back so many prisoners, Cao Chun was a little surprised for a while.

"Major General, why did you bring back so many prisoners?"

Cao Ang smiled softly when he heard this and said: "It seems that all the tribes on the grassland have developed quite well in these years. Such a small tribe has thousands of people."

After hearing this, Cao Chun and Guo Jia nodded seriously. After all, the current melee between the various princes in the Central Plains gave these barbarians a chance to recuperate.

Although Gongsun Zan and other princes originally would sweep away the barbarians on these grasslands from time to time.

But as the war in the Central Plains intensified, the focus of these princes' operations began to shift towards the Central Plains. Naturally, these barbarians had a chance to recuperate.

After years of development and growth, their population has naturally increased significantly.

Cao Ang led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and took a group of prisoners back to Wuyuan County in Bingzhou to garrison.

At the same time, Cao Ang directly sent someone to deliver the message, asking Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to lead the army northward.

After Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun received the news, they immediately set off from Taiyuan to Wuyuan County.

Prior to this, the two of them had assigned 20 of the 15 troops they brought to various places in Bingzhou.

Therefore, during this trip, the two of them could lead only about [-] sergeants.

Before Zhang Liao left, Ding Yuan made a special trip to meet with him.

"Wen Yuan, this trip is a long one. You and General Zhao must be careful." Zhang Liao nodded and said to Ding Yuan: "Thank you very much, Governor Ding. Don't worry. You told me before." I remember everything!"

When Ding Yuan heard Zhang Liao say this, he knew that he should shut up. After all, he understood the principle that talking too much will lead to mistakes.

On the way Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun went north, Zhang Liao looked at Zhao Yun and hesitated several times, leaving Zhao Yun confused.

Finally, after Zhang Liao hesitated to speak, Zhao Yun asked: "Wen Yuan, do you have something to say to me?"

Zhang Liao's expression froze when he heard this, and he said with some embarrassment: "Did you see all this? I thought I concealed it well."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help but feel speechless. He thought to himself, "You guys, you just have to write the words "I'm in trouble" on your face.

However, Zhao Yun did not complain about Zhang Liao, but continued: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly to Wen Yuan. There is no need to be so alienated from me."

When Zhang Liao heard what Zhao Yun said, he smiled and said, "Zilong, are you curious about what Ding Yuan told me before we set off and asked me not to forget it? "

Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this. When Zhang Liao and Ding Yuan were talking, he was indeed in front of him, but he did not dare to be interested in what the other party said.

"Wen Yuan, you are too worried. I know that you and Governor Ding Yuan are old acquaintances. Based on your friendship, I can understand why he wants you to help with something."

"So, you don't need to care about my opinion. I'm not interested in what you said before leaving, and you don't have to worry about me talking too much."

"Ah?" Zhang Liao was stunned after hearing these words, and after a while, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you're not interested, I'll tell you too."

As soon as Zhang Liao said this, it was Zhao Yun's turn to be stunned.

I already said I'm not interested anymore, but you're still talking nonsense!

Zhao Yun complained about Zhang Liao in his heart, but said nothing, still looking calm and calm.

But Zhao Yun also figured it out. It turned out that Zhang Liao was hesitant to talk all the way, not because he was worried about what he would say nonsense, but because he wanted to talk to himself about these trivial matters.

Soon, Zhang Liao told Zhao Yun everything he had agreed with Ding Yuan.

After saying this, Zhang Liao smiled and asked Zhao Yun: "Zilong, based on your understanding of the Major General, do you think the Major General will punish Ding Yuan, the governor?"

When Zhao Yun heard this, he replied calmly: "Punishment is definitely necessary. After all, Ding Yuan, the governor, made a big mistake this time."

Zhang Liao's expression became serious when he heard this.

Zhao Yun continued to speak: "However, you don't have to think so much. After all, the young general is not a heartless and unjust person. I think he will verbally punish Ding Yuan, the governor, and then let him make some merits and demerits." Let’s offset it.”

When Zhang Liao heard what Zhao Yun said, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zilong, you are thinking the same thing as I am. I also think that the young general will not be so unkind and unjust."

After listening to Zhao Yun's analysis, Zhang Liao stopped worrying so much and focused on following Zhao Yun.

Three days later, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao arrived at Wuyuan County with provisions and [-] troops.

While Cao Ang was dispatching troops and generals, the tribes on the grassland were not idle either.

The news that Cao Ang led his troops to plunder a tribe spread quickly.

The three tribes of the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan came together to discuss an alliance. (End of chapter)
