~8 min read 1,407 words

"Brothers, the opportunity to build a career has arrived. Kill Kill Tadun!"

"Kill Kill Tadun!"

The sound shook the heavens!

Kill Tadun was naturally furious.

"How dare the Han general bully me like this! Take his head for me, and I will give a great reward!"

Several ten-thousand-man commanders exchanged a glance and besieged Zhang Zhang Liao together.

Zhang Zhang Liao thrust and parried, his weapon dancing like a tiger in the wind. Soon, several ten-thousand-man commanders were beheaded by him!

Kill Tadun was shocked!

Zhang Zhang Liao was covered in the blood of his enemies, his eyes already crazed with killing, and he led his soldiers in a mad charge toward Kill Tadun.

Kill Tadun did not dare to collide with him, but there were too many troops behind him, and he could not run away quickly enough. He was caught up by Zhang Zhang Liao, and after a few moves, Kill Tadun was beheaded by Zhang Zhang Liao!

The main banner of the Wuhuan army had fallen!

Kill Tadun was dead!

How could the Wuhuan cavalry dare to resist? With a boom, they scattered!

They turned their horses around one after another and ran backward!

Everyone naturally beat the dog in the water!

In the distance, Cao Ang muttered,

"Taking the head of a general from among ten thousand troops! This Zhang Zhang Wenyuan is too brave!"

"I fear Sun Quan was defeated in this same way back then!"

Man Chong cupped his hands.

"Commander, let our army charge too!"

Cao Ang nodded.

"Good, the whole army, attack!"

The pursuit lasted for a day, and the Wuhuan soldiers lay dead everywhere. Zhao Yun and the others charged directly to Liucheng and wiped out all the Wuhuan people there!

Next was the time to distribute the spoils.

Fa Zheng summarized all the gains.

"Everyone, our army should have captured twenty-eight thousand Wuhuan people, two million three hundred thousand cattle and sheep, eighteen thousand horses..."

Xiahou Dun hurriedly said,

"This time our two sides joined forces, so naturally, it should be half for each side."

Zhang Zhang Liao was furious.

"Xiahou Dun, I have never seen such a shameless person as you!"

"Our army sent twice as many troops as you, and Louban, Kill Tadun, and the other three kings were all killed by our army. How can you have the face to say that?!"

Guanqiu Sun Jian, Gao Lan, and Wu Wu Anguo all cursed loudly.

Xiahou Dun angrily slapped the table.

"What of it? If you have the ability, let's spar!"

Zhang Zhang Liao stood up.

"Let's go, let's go out and spar."

Zhang Zhang Liao had killed Kill Tadun in seconds, and his momentum was extremely fierce, so Xiahou Dun only snorted.

Man Chong cupped his hands to Zhao Yun.

"General Zhao, our army also contributed, and the provisions for this expedition were also provided by our side."

Zhao Yun nodded.

"This time both sides joined forces, so naturally, both sides should have a share of the spoils. Fa Xiaozhi, state our distribution plan."

Fa Zheng coughed.

"According to the troops dispatched by both sides, the Wuhuan generals killed, etc., the Cao side can be allocated eighty thousand Wuhuan people, six hundred thousand cattle and sheep, and four thousand horses."

Cao Ang and the others felt that Zhao Yun's distribution plan was quite reasonable.

Cao Ang cupped his hands to Zhao Yun.

"General Zhao, are these horses a bit too few?"

Zhao Yun paused.

"You can exchange two hundred thousand sheep for twenty thousand horses."

They still had to continue the expedition to Liaodong and would use these cattle and sheep as supplies.

Cao Ang, Man Chong, and the others exchanged a glance. Exchange!

After all, cattle and sheep are just for eating meat, and twenty thousand horses might allow them to select a few thousand good warhorses.

Zhao Yun added, "Brother Gongsun Kang has long been a separatist in Liaodong, and my lord intends to conquer him. Young Master Ang, are you willing to continue the expedition with our army?"

Cao Ang naturally refused. The order Cao Cao gave him was only to destroy Kill Tadun, and he had already gained military merit through this expedition, so there was no need to continue.

Early the next morning,

The two sides separated.

Zhao Yun led ninety thousand troops and drove the hundred thousand surrendered Wuhuan people and the cattle and sheep toward Liaodong.

Xiahou Dun watched the departing army.

"If they occupy Liaodong, Liu Bei will have gained another achievement!"

Man Chong whispered,

"Brother Gongsun Kang has been operating in Xiangping for a long time; is it so easy to defeat? My lord has long since sent men to notify Brother Gongsun Kang."

"In two months, it will snow in Liaodong. By then, they will be in a dilemma, and perhaps the entire army will be wiped out!"

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, Brother Gongsun Du conquered Goguryeo in the east, broke the Wuhuan in the west, and took Liaodong in the south, quietly strengthening his power.

By the time his son Brother Gongsun Kang took power, he was already the Liaodong King in name and reality.

Brother Gongsun Kang heard that Zhao Yun was coming with ninety thousand troops and was greatly shocked and angry. He was doing just fine in Liaodong, and Liu Bei was actually coming to find fault with him.

He naturally would not surrender and raised an army to resist.

Zhao Yun led his troops day and night, discussing strategies to break the enemy while on the move.

Fa Zheng had a plan in his heart.

"Commander, Brother Gongsun Kang must intend to use the Zhang Liao River to stop our army. If the Zhang Liao River is lost, they will use the defenses of Xiangping City to block our attack. As long as they drag it out until the snow in Liaodong, our army will be in trouble."

Zhao Yun nodded.

"Then what should our army do?"

Fa Zheng smiled.

"Brother Gongsun Kang has just committed the taboo of dividing his troops. The Zhang Liao River is not a natural barrier; our army can completely choose other places to cross the river and rush directly to Xiangping."

"Brother Gongsun Kang will inevitably panic. The soldiers defending the Zhang Liao River will rush to Xiangping, and our army will then wait at ease for the exhausted enemy, first crushing this force. With Xiangping in fear, breaking the city will not be difficult."

Zhao Yun praised him highly.

"Fa Xiaozhi is indeed a great talent! Our army will turn from passive to active, making the enemy soldiers run themselves ragged. Our army will surely win!"

Things went exactly as Fa Zheng and the others had expected.

Brother Gongsun Kang sent his subordinates to lead fifty thousand troops to build a defensive line on the Zhang Liao River.

Zhao Yun crossed the river in the north, using a trick to lure the snake out of its hole. Brother Gongsun Kang's subordinates hurriedly retreated toward Xiangping, only to run head-on into Zhang Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci, and were naturally defeated, with over forty thousand of the fifty thousand troops captured. 700

When the news reached Xiangping, Brother Gongsun Kang was greatly terrified.

But he did not think about surrendering; as long as he could hold out until winter, he could continue to be the Liaodong King.

Zhao Yun did not expect this guy to surrender either, and the army marched directly to the foot of Xiangping City.

They quickly began building siege equipment, piling up earth mounds, setting up scaling ladders, making large shields, and building battering rams, busy and happy.

Zhang Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, Pang De, Guanqiu Sun Jian, Wu Wu Anguo, and others took turns attacking.

Brother Gongsun Kang could not hold out at all, let alone hold out until it snowed; in less than ten days, Xiangping City could no longer hold on.

Brother Gongsun Kang took his son Brother Gongsun Ding Yuan and others, and with over a thousand cavalry, fled Xiangping City and fled toward Goguryeo.

The soldiers in the city opened the gates and surrendered!

Zhao Yun posted notices to appease the people while beginning to mobilize troops and generals.

"Everyone, my lord requires that we must destroy Brother Gongsun Kang, Goguryeo, and those so-called Three Han indigenous people before the snow comes."

Zhao Yun sat in command in Xiangping.
