Chapter 422 is a thorn in the eye

When he found that the other party's strength was too strong, Zhao Yun retreated for the first time in his life, not because he was afraid of fighting, but because he was responsible for his brothers.

The brothers who followed him on the expedition this time, according to their military merit system in Jizhou, any one of them can be promoted to one or two levels.

Of course, this is on the premise that they can meet the cultural conditions.

But these warriors have gone through so many battles, and no matter which one of them is a valuable asset in the army.

If he loses too much because he was careless and made some impulsive decision, he will never be able to forgive himself.

But if they can't pull out the nail in front of them, it will have an immeasurable adverse impact on their future plans.

After all, the opponent's mobile strength of 20,000 cavalry will cause him a great constraint.

Even if he let go of the tribe in front of him, as long as he attacked the surrounding tribes, these mobile forces would soon be able to form support for the attacked tribe.

At that time, once they withdraw a little slowly, it is very likely that they will be besieged by the other side.

Zhao Yun knew very well that the reason why they had been able to crisscross the grassland for so long was because their whereabouts were erratic.

Once they are caught by those Xianbei people, they will soon form a situation of encirclement and suppression.

Then the right time, place, and people are not dominant, and their own side will soon be absolutely passive.

At that time, although he can escape with a certain certainty, his brothers are not as capable as himself, and maybe none of his brothers will be able to escape!

Thinking of such a bad consequence, Zhao Yun had the idea of retreating for the first time in his heart, but soon he left this thought behind, all because of his unwillingness.

Although entering the prairie this time, they inflicted a certain blow on the Xianbei people.

But there is still a certain distance to achieve their strategic goals, and of course he is not willing to withdraw like this.

Besides, this time entering the prairie, it was not only his troops, but also the troops of Zhang Fei and Zang Yi, to be honest, Zhao Yun was most worried about them during this time.

Before entering the grassland, he and his men lost their way for three days because of the underestimation of the form, which caused him to lose contact with Zhang Fei and Zang Yi.

During this time, he led people to attack the tribes of the Xianbei people everywhere, and he also heard some news about Zhang Fei and them.

When he knew that Zhang Fei and they were doing a good job, the anxiety in his heart was slightly lowered.

But if the nail in front of him is not removed, he will withdraw from the prairie with his people.

So once Zhang Fei or Zang Yi doesn't check and falls into the trap of Xianbei people, it is almost inevitable.

How could he, Zhao Yun, watch that his robe fell into a trap and was indifferent.

Therefore, he had to remove this nail, but the thought of the difficulty of removing it made Zhao Yun have a headache.

Just when he was thinking about it and couldn't think of a good way, suddenly one of his personal soldiers came to report:

It is said that the elite cavalry who have just entered the Xianbei tribe have moved.

At that time, Zhao Yun was moving in his heart, since he had already understood the other party's task, then the other party's move must mean that something was happening.

Since his men and horses did not move, it must have been Zhang Fei or Zang Yi who launched an attack on the other Xianbei tribe, and their attack had already been discovered by the other party.

Now the other party must go to the rescue, the tribe that was attacked.

It's not clear how they got the news, but it's definitely an opportunity for them.

Now look at the manpower dispatched by the other side, if the other party only dispatches those 20,000 mobile troops, then he has a certain degree of certainty to pull out this nail.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun's mind immediately began to move.

He sent his most elite spies to keep an eye on each other, and Zhao Yun asked them to observe each other's every move.

Soon Zhao Yun's subordinates came to report, and the Xianbei elite of 20,000 people was dispatched.

They were now heading straight to the east, and when they got the news, Zhao Yun's eyes immediately turned to the map in his hand.

This map is the Xianbei map he drew during this time.

Although it does not mark all the tribes of the Xianbei people, as long as he can find all the Xianbei tribes are on it.

At this time, there was indeed a Xianbei tribe in their east, and it was a large Xianbei tribe.

And this large Xianbei tribe has joined two medium-sized tribes and four or five smaller tribes in the past two days.

Originally, this large tribe was Zhao Yun's twelfth target.

It was precisely because of these newly joined tribes that Zhao Yun couldn't be sure if he could eat the other party in one bite, so he decided to let the other party go for the time being.

After he eliminated the target in front of him, he would find a way to gnaw on that hard bone, but looking at the movements of those elite cavalry now, it must be that hard bone that has been attacked.

They are going to support the other party, and now the ones who can attack the other side are either Zhang Fei's troops or Zang Yi's troops.

Of course, there is another possibility, which is the result of Zhang Fei and Zang Yi's joint attack.

But no matter who it is, you must bring someone to get involved.

On the one hand, he can also see if Zhang Fei and the others need reinforcements, and the other is to find an opportunity to annihilate the opponent's mobile force!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun immediately ordered all his subordinates to get on the horse, they must now run to the front of the other party, so that he can make the most accurate judgment.

Zhao Yun led his troops all the way aside, not to mention for the time being, at this time, an extremely fierce battle was taking place hundreds of miles away from them.

The two sides of the battle were the coalition forces of Zhang Fei and Zang Yi, and the large Xianbei tribe that Zhao Yun wanted to attack before.

After Zhang Fei and Zang Yi entered the grassland, they also started to act separately at the beginning.

But in the face of the vast grassland, and without acquaintances to lead the way, they, like Zhao Yun, were also lost in the vast grassland.

But the luck of the two of them is not bad, after being lost for more than half a month, the two of them actually had a chance encounter on the prairie, which is simply a great luck.

At that time, the two of them actually led the troops, and at the same time targeted a Xianbei tribe.

The most dangerous thing was that they hadn't spotted each other at the time, and they almost had a duel until the night of the operation.

But fortunately, their subordinates were still sharp-eyed, and just when the two sides were about to clash, someone finally recognized the identity of the other party.

This was to avoid this tragedy, and the relatives and enemies were happy.

Then Zhang Fei and Zang Yi joined forces to annihilate the small tribe, and the two of them began a joint operation, and just last night they had their target in sight.

Although the number of enemy soldiers is most likely four to five times that of them.

But Zhang Fei and Zang Yi believed that with the elite level of the soldiers under their command and the suddenness of the attack, they would definitely be able to gnaw this hard bone!
