Back to Cao's camp.

Chen Yang learned that Ma Teng and Ma Dai were captured, but Ma Chao's whereabouts could not be found in the entire camp.

Chen Yang simply said the things just now.

"General Ma, that is, Ma Chao escaped?"

Chen Yang looked at Ma Teng and said lightly: "I didn't expect that I still missed some details and let him run away."

He predicted Ma Teng's plan, but he could not predict how Ma Chao escaped. This time he was a little wrong.

However, if Ma Chao escapes alone, there is not a big problem. There are people around him who can deal with him.

Ma Teng didn't say anything, but Ma Dai laughed wildly: "Chen Yang, do you know you're scared? Haha... Brother, he will definitely come back to avenge us, you will all die!"

Chen Yang looked at Ma Dai who was like a madman and said disapprovingly: "Scared? Not that, I want to see how he seeks revenge on me, maybe he came to me to die."

I was afraid that Ma Chao would not dare to show up, and Chen Yang could not deal with him.

Chen Yang was not interested in participating in how to deal with Ma Teng's problem. Seeing that it was getting late, he went back to his tent to rest.

"Zi'an, should we continue to chase Ma Chao?"

Cao Ang hurriedly followed and asked.

"No need, I can't catch up."

Chen Yang said: "If I was not mistaken, he had already walked into the Qilian Mountains and found Ma Chao in the vast mountains?"

If Ma Chao was let go, Cao Ang would be a little uneasy, and it would be too late to recover now.

Cao Ang also gave up this idea. He was about to go back to rest, but his hands and feet suddenly twitched. He couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground, feeling painful and uncomfortable, but his twitching level is much better than before.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Yang helped him up and said, "Why does it happen after so long?"

Cao Ang waved his hand, barely stood up, and said, "It's not that uncomfortable now. You can stick to it by gritting your teeth."

As he said that, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe this is the punishment for me. I did so many wrong things at the beginning, and I can't be forgiven immediately."

Chen Yang sighed in his heart and said, "If you have the opportunity to go back to Xudu, you must find Yuanhua to help you see it."

Chen Yang was still a little worried that Cao Ang would have another attack, so he sent him back to the tent, then found a military doctor and first checked Cao Ang's condition.

Cao Ang was grateful, but he could still see that Chen Yang's affection for him was still there, and this was enough.

When Chen Yang woke up the next morning, he saw snowflakes floating outside, and the weather became colder and the cold winter season began to enter. The winter in these areas would be even colder than in Xudu.

Guo Jia suggested not to march for the time being. They were stationed in Jiuquan, and all the soldiers from the military camp outside the city moved to the city to wait for the beginning of the spring of the following year before making a decision.

This is the first time Chen Yang spent the winter in such a cold place. Whether before or after the journey, he had never tried to live in such a northern place.

Normally, the weather is so cold that no one will walk around casually outside, let alone long journeys.

However, today, an uninvited guest came to Tianjiuquan, and he was an exception in winter.

"Zi'an, a Xianbei envoy came to Jiuquan. He came to see me. Do you want to see him?" Cao Ang suddenly came to find Chen Yang.

An envoy of the Xianbei?

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment and remembered something, that is, after the Huns were divided and weakened, the Xianbei people began to rise further north of the Huns, becoming another nomadic people occupying the grassland area.

Later, the Five Barbarians invaded China, in addition to the prelude to the Chinese Huns, the Xianbei people who later joined.

In the history of the split of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many people from the aristocratic families in the north all had the blood of Hu people, such as Changsun Wuji, Yu Wenhua and them were directly Xianbei people.

"What are the envoys of the Xianbei are coming to us?" Chen Yang asked curiously.

"Fengxiao is receiving them, as if he wants to unite us and deal with the Huns together." Cao Ang said.

This is the intention of the Xianbei people, or it can be said to be a plan.

Chen Yang hesitated for a while, thinking that cooperation is feasible, nor is it feasible.

He also thought of a period of history in later generations. The Song Dynasty joined forces with the Jin people to attack the Khitan. Although it was successful, the Song Dynasty became the Southern Song Dynasty.

Later, the Song Dynasty joined forces with the Mongols to attack the Jin people, and thus destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty.

Those Xianbei people don’t know what they think, but their ideas are definitely not simple.

Chen Yang said: "Go and have a look, I want to know what they are going to do."

In the government office in Jiuquan, Chen Yang finally saw the Xianbei envoy.

The other party was wearing a woven sheepskin woven and a hood on his head. Their appearance was more obvious different from the Han people.

"Zi'an!"

Guo Jia said: "This is the general of the western Xianbei region, General He Laiba."

He briefly introduced it to Chen Yang and the others.

The great general He Laiba quickly stood up and said in a bit stiff Chinese: "I have met General Chen."

Obviously, before he came, he had prepared enough, learned some of the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and knew the identities of several core figures such as Cao Ang.

Chen Yang just nodded slightly, and then they sat down together.

"Fengxiao, what were you talking about just now?" Cao Ang asked.

When Cao Ang learned that the Hun envoy had come to Jiuquan, he immediately went to Chen Yang to discuss. For the rest of the time, Guo Jia received the general and Guo Jia also chatted with him.

He Laiba said first: "I will describe the scenery on our grassland to Lord Guo Jijiu, and Lord Guo is also very yearning for it."

Guo Jia smiled and nodded. The only thing they talked about just now was indeed the only thing. Before Cao Ang came, he did not raise the topic of cooperation.

"Young Master, I just started to propose joining forces to deal with the Huns. What do you think?"

Seeing Cao Ang come back, He Laiba immediately restrained his smile and began to talk about the serious matter.

Cao Ang was undecided and took a look at Chen Yang, Guo Jia and the others.

"We still need to consider this matter. General He Lai doesn't need to worry." Guo Jia said casually.

He could not guess the intentions of the Xianbei people, and did not recommend agreeing to cooperate.

"I also think there are some things that don't need to be in a hurry. General He Lai came from a long distance and must be very tired."

Chen Yang's perfunctory behavior was more direct. He didn't want to talk about topics related to cooperation. He waved: "Come here, host a banquet for General He Lai, and prepare a room for rest for General He Lai."

He Laiba frowned slightly, as if he was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to have an attack, and said, "Big Young Master, what do you think?"

He placed his hope on Cao Ang, but he didn't know that Cao Ang was also listening to Chen Yang and Guo Jia's opinions, and said with a smile: "What Zi'an and Fengxiao said is reasonable. General He Lai is tired, why don't you take a rest first? We'll talk about some things later."

He Laiba wanted to promote cooperation as soon as possible and then go back and completely defeat the Huns.

Seeing Cao Ang and the others' attitude, He Laiba was a little worried and would return in vain.

Fortunately, they made preparations and some people went to find Cao Pi.
