Chapter 512

Mid-September.

Teams of cavalry marched westward along the Huangshui River valley.

Hundreds of black flags, embroidered with a large "Han" character on the front and a "Duan" character on the back, fluttered in the cold west wind.

"Report!"

"Reporting to the Military Marquis, the scouts in front discovered a Qiang stronghold in Mucheng Valley."

Zhang Xiu tightened the reins of his warhorse and stopped beside Duan Yu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao, who were riding in the middle of the team.

It had been several days since they left Yunwu County.

The three led seven thousand cavalry, marching westward from Yunwu County, heading toward the westernmost side of Jincheng Commandery, where the Xiqiang were most concentrated.

In these few days, they had also killed some Xiqiang cavalry who had routed after the battle of Yunwu County on the road.

Duan Yu reined in his warhorse and walked out from the team.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both followed behind Duan Yu.

"Now it's finally our turn to attack." Yuan Shao patted his saddle excitedly.

Duan Yu smiled, then looked at Zhang Xiu and asked: "Have the scouts found out which tribe it is and how many people there are?"

Zhang Xiu frowned and said: "Reporting to the Lord, the scouts found out that there is indeed a Qiang tribe in Mucheng Valley in front, but..."

"..."

"But there are no living people left; it is said that they have been slaughtered."

Hmm?
