Chapter 827

At this moment, this cavalry unit docked on the banks of the Zi River was drinking water and resting.

Hua Xiong, carrying a water bag, came to the side of Duan Yu, who was resting on a huge blue stone on the shore.

The Red Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast wandered among the horse herd not far away, holding its neck high, just like a king among horses inspecting its tribe.

Its crimson mane was as bright and vivid as flowing fire under the sunlight.

Even among the Flying Bear Cavalry, which was composed entirely of elites and fine warhorses, the Red Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens.

"General, drink some water." Hua Xiong, who had come to Duan Yu's side, handed over the water bag.

Duan Yu reached out and took the water bag, then gulped down several large mouthfuls.

After resolving Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang, things had temporarily calmed down there.

Duan Yu had sent the heads of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang back to the imperial court.

Next, he only needed to wait.

Wait for Zhang Jiao to gather the surrounding Taiping Dao followers in Xiaquyang, and then he could proceed with the next step of the action.

In the direction of Xiaquyang, Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu were now in command.

As for military generals, there were Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Zhang Xiu, Hao Zhao, and others, so there was absolutely no need for Duan Yu to worry about anything.

As long as he waited for the right time, there was no need for him to worry about the next steps either.

That was why Duan Yu had the time to bring the Flying Bear Cavalry out to relax.

It couldn't exactly be called relaxing.

Xiaquyang was less than a hundred miles from Wuji County.

And Zhen Jiang was in Wuji County.

Jia Dong had already told him about the Zhen clan placing Zhen Jiang under house arrest and withholding the snow salt and white paper.

He hadn't dealt with this matter because he hadn't had the time.

But now was the time.

There was no need to say anything more about Zhen Jiang's loyalty.

Duan Yu naturally could not let her down.

As for the actions of the Zhen clan, as Zhen Jiang's future man, he had to stand up for her.

"Pass the order down: rest for another half an hour, and we must arrive at Wuji County before dark." Duan Yu said to Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong nodded repeatedly: "Understood."

Just as Hua Xiong turned around and was about to leave, a small team of scouts galloped over from the distance and stopped their horses in front of Hua Xiong.

After dismounting, the scouts cupped their hands in salute before Hua Xiong and said something.

Hua Xiong raised his eyebrows, then turned around and immediately returned to Duan Yu's side.

"General, the scouts have returned and reported that the Youzhou Huang Jin Channel Commander Cheng Zhiyuan has already led over a hundred thousand Huang Jin soldiers and is about to arrive at Wuji County."

"This person's vanguard general, Deng Mao, has already arrived at Wuji County."

"Oh?" Duan Yu raised his eyebrows and said: "That's quite fast; it looks like we need to arrive at Wuji County before Cheng Zhiyuan's main army does."

Duan Yu said this and stood up.

"There is one more thing, General; the scouts said they saw a cavalry unit of dozens of people on the way here, and it looked like they were flying the banners of the Zhen clan."

"It's just that the scouts weren't sure, so they didn't approach."

Duan Yu pondered for a moment after hearing this.

At this time, in this location, seeing a Zhen clan team was not strange.

Cheng Zhiyuan's main army was about to arrive at Wuji County.

Could it be that the Zhen clan from Wuji County had come out to seek help?

Duan Yu had previously sent word to the Zhen clan that he was about to go to Wuji County.

Could it be that Zhen Jiang had sent people?

After thinking about it, Duan Yu felt that this was a possibility.

"Pass the order down: set off." Duan Yu said: "Let the scouts lead the way, and let's go see that group of Zhen clan people first."
