But to Gan Gui's disappointment, the hat was removed, revealing a face with a slightly elegant air.

"General Gan, this is General Zhang Liao and Zhang who is showing off his power in Bailang Mountain."

Zhao Yun introduced Gan Gui dumbfoundedly, and then explained:

"Now that tens of thousands of troops have surrendered in Xincai, General Xingba is left to lead the overall situation and has no time to go north."

Gan Gui was immediately disappointed, but he also knew that General Zilong was telling the truth.

With the defeat of Cao Cao, all the troops that had been gathered here in Yuzhou were surrendered.

Xuande Gong certainly could not afford and did not want to raise so many soldiers, but if he dismissed them all rashly, there would be chaos, so he simply imitated Cao Cao's previous move of farming and opened several troops in Runan and Yingchuan. Tun, and then began to sift through plans to send troops back home.

Those who have parents at home will return first, those without brothers and sisters will return first, then those without eldest brothers will return home, those who have a family to return to will also return, and so on.

But even after going through such layers of selection in the past few months, there are still a lot of people who have lost their parents and are homeless, and these military camps still need generals to stay.

Gan Gui even heard Mr. Ma Liang talk about the follow-up plans for these military camps. When all those who are willing to return to their hometowns from these demobilized units return next year, the remaining people will be selected based on age. Those over forty will work as civilians on the spot. Those who are given land and houses and are less than twenty years old will temporarily follow the army to read and learn skills. After they have found a way to make a career, they will be dismissed as civilians, and the rest will be reorganized into soldiers.

This is undoubtedly a time-consuming and laborious task, but it is also a very important one.

It is foreseeable that as long as this arrangement is fully implemented, Cao's army will be completely destroyed, and there will be no possibility of rebellion again.

Although she was slightly disappointed, Gan Gui could only nod her head, and then turned around and started shouting hello.

Now that the accompanying personnel are required to board the ship, it is time for the fleet to set off again after resting.

Standing on the bow of the boat, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit his face, and the scenery on both sides of the bank slowly receded. This was an experience similar to riding a horse but completely different. Zhao Yun stood here with great interest and felt it carefully. He was not surprised. Unexpectedly, Ma Liang came over to reminisce.

For Zhao Yun, even though he has been traveling around all these years, he still clearly remembers the light curtain he saw in Gong'an County in the early days, especially the death of Ma Liang in later history, and he has a lot of respect for him.

After talking about old times, Ma Liang also asked in a low voice:

"I wonder where General Huang is now?"

For Ma Liang, the experience of seeing the veteran rise up to kill Le Jin when he first joined the army and served as chief clerk for Huang Zhong was equally impressive. Moreover, the two of them cooperated happily at that time, and they were definitely old friends.

Zhao Yun recalled it and said:

"A certain person also exchanged letters with General Huang last month, and General Huang was also summoned by the Lord to go to Yecheng."

"However, General Huang's military base is located in Lin County, which is far away from the chasm, so he will most likely have to go north with Xu's military division by land."

As he spoke, Zhao Yun couldn't help but laugh and said:

"General Huang also asked me to send a message to Governor Ma in his letter, saying that when we get to Yecheng, we must get drunk at Chaling Restaurant, and we need Governor Ma to be the host."

Ma Liang also laughed: "That's how it should be!"

After the two talked about a few old things, Ma Liang also said goodbye and got back into the cabin. Only Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were left on the bow.

Stretching out his hand to catch a few falling snowflakes, Zhang Liao asked softly:

"General Zhao, I wonder how this snow compares to the snow on Changshan Mountain?"

Zhao Yun squinted his eyes slightly, looked at it, shook his head and said:

"The heat is ten times worse than now."

Zhang Liao's open palms suddenly clenched:

"Compared with Yanmen Snow and Bailang Mountain Snow, they are nothing."

Zhao Yun naturally knew what Zhang Liao meant. Both of them led elite cavalry, but now Zhang Liao lost both battles.

For Zhao Yun, these two times he either relied on the sharp weapons of Mo Dao or had the support of General Yunchang's cavalry. However, judging from Zhang Liao's intention, it was obvious that defeat was a defeat and he did not want to argue too much.

And the meaning of what he said now is very obvious. Even if he lost two games, Zhang Wenyuan is still better in terms of merit.

Although the words were polite, there was not much tit-for-tat in them. Zhao Yun slowly nodded and said:

"Yun Zi will let Wen Yuan see that Bingzhou cavalry can go there, and Youzhou Jingqi can go there too."

Zhang Liao nodded, looked at Zhao Yun carefully but suddenly said with emotion:

"Although General Zhao has few loyal followers now, his power has far surpassed that of the Gongsun clan."

The meaning contained in this sigh was too complex. It contained both reluctance and determination, and the taste of unwillingness to admit defeat was also very clear.

Zhao Yun nodded and pointedly said:

"The righteous obedience I lead is not the righteous obedience of Gongsun's family."

Zhang Liao was thoughtful and enlightened, but vaguely felt that something was very wrong.

Zhao Yun studied Zhang Liao's expression for a moment, then looked up again at the blurry sky in the distance and sighed.

He has never lied about his upbringing, and he clearly remembers the sight of the white horse moving like wind and thunder when General Gongsun attacked, but he also clearly remembers the death of the white horse in the Battle of Jieqiao. Such elites made Yuan Shao famous.

He had also told his lord before that he knew Baima Yicong's military training methods. Of course, this was not a lie, but it was also not true. After all, Zhao Yun was not Gongsun, so how could he know Yicong's methods?

The cavalry's method of righteous obedience under his command was nothing more than the overall gains and losses on the battlefield. The key points of cavalry obtained from the analysis of the light curtain were finally supplemented by the sharp weapons made by military advisers. The final army was comparable to Gongsun's righteous obedience. picture.

Only in this way could he rely on a cavalry that had fought in the south and Shu to defeat the elite troops led by Zhang Liao who had fought bloody battles with Wuhuan in the north.

How could Zhao Yun be such a talented leader of cavalry? What he had achieved now was just the deduction of the cavalry tactics copied from the light curtain.

But of course, he couldn't tell Zhang Liao about these, but Zhao Yun also had a feeling that the day when he could talk freely with Zhang Wenyuan was not far away.

The navy went north from Chen County, passed Chen County and Chenliu, and finally stopped for a little supply in Junyi County.

When they arrived here, the snow was two points heavier, and Gan Gui commanded the fleet to the west after a brief consideration and changed the route to enter Qushui.

This route directly passed through Zhongmu, so Zhao Yun and his companions simply gathered at the bow and pointed to the west when they had nothing to do:

"Is that Guandu over there?"

"I wonder which direction Wuchao is in?"

"Wenyuan also participated in the battle, do you still remember the scene of the battlefield?"

Zhang Liao was not hypocritical, he leaned forward and tried to distinguish it, and finally said regretfully:

"The snow is a bit heavier, it would be easier to distinguish it on a sunny day."

The people at the bow smiled and didn't care, and after passing Guandu and passing Xingyang, there were two more passengers on the boat, one old and one young.

"Mr. Zijing!" This is the meticulous Zhao Yun.

"General Lu." This is Zhang Liao with mixed feelings.

Lu Su returned the greetings one by one, and then introduced the young man at hand and said:

"Dan'er, come and meet the generals."
