14. Get stronger, Zhao Yun!

  Sun Yu thought for a moment, then took out a bamboo spear from the corner of the house and handed it to Zhao Yun: "Take it. If you want to follow me in the future, you will encounter many dangers. If you can't protect yourself, I won't take you with me. So... go practice desperately, if you don't get stronger, you're not allowed to follow me."

  Zhao Yun took over the bamboo spear and gritted his teeth: "As long as I become stronger?"

  "Hmm, if you become stronger, I won't discard you." Sun Yu sighed: "I'll give you three years' time, if it doesn't work out then don't blame me."

  Zhao Yun bit her lower lip, feeling a little like crying, but in the end she didn't cry. She gripped the bamboo spear tightly and said, "Then I'll go practice now, I will get stronger."

  Before long, the sound of a bamboo spear waving came under the moonlight. Unfortunately, this sound was extremely weak, and it's really unknown what use Zhao Yun had in practicing like this. Sun Yu sighed and went to sleep wrapped in his clothes.

  The next morning, Sun Yu was awakened by the sound of a horn. It was already dawn, and the sky had just turned white!

  Sun Yu walked out of the house and saw Zhao Yun holding a bamboo spear, still frantically waving it in the courtyard. When he saw Sun Yu get up, Zhao Yun said weakly: "Sir, I didn't slack off, I practiced all night..." As soon as she finished speaking, she fell backwards, her small white hand releasing the spear shaft, which slowly floated to the ground.

  Alas, I bullied this little loli, it's too pitiful. Sun Yu quickly walked over to support Zhao Yun, and saw that her pale face had a touch of crimson due to excessive force.

  "I will become stronger, don't give up on me..." Zhao Yun said in a low voice, slowly closing his eyes and falling asleep.

  You can even fall asleep standing up, you're so talented. Sun Yu carried her on his back and slowly walked towards the barracks.

  At this time, the barracks had come to life. Thousands of white horses were being saddled up and ready to depart. Soldiers were busy dismantling tents, transporting weapons, and distributing food. The entire camp was bustling like a marketplace.

  At the entrance of the big camp, Wang Men, the captain of the White Horse Righteousness Team, stood with a jealous gaze and swept a glance at Sun Yu, coldly snorting: "Really shameless, carrying a woman around early in the morning, someone like you is also worthy of Master's favor?"

  Cut it out, neurosis! I'm carrying my own servant and bothering you again? Sun Yu wasn't an impulsive person; he just glanced at Wang Men once and threw this clown to the back of his mind.

  It took almost half a time, the 5,000 White Horse Guards had finished their preparations for departure. The 5,000 white horses and 5,000 white scarves dazzled people's eyes. Sun Yu also rode a white horse mixed in with the White Horse Guards, and on the horse's buttocks was a small servant girl named Zhao Yun.

  Gongsun Zan stood in front of the army, pointed his horse whip northwest and shouted: "Drive out the Wuhuan bandits from Youzhou!"

  The army was just about to set out when the scouts suddenly returned with a report: "Your Excellency, last night the Wuhuan troops camped northwest for one night and then suddenly turned northeast, heading in the direction of Liaoxi."

  Gongsun Zan furrowed his brow and asked, "What are the enemy troops doing? They're turning from northwest to northeast; there must be a reason for this."

  The scout reported: "It is said that Wuma has another army, led by General Qiu Lijiu, who is causing chaos in western Liaoning. Zhang Chun must be going to meet with Qiu Lijiu."

  "Hmph!" Gong Sun Zan coldly snorted: "Who cares who they ally with, my white horse will point the way, Wuwan can't withstand a single blow, let's pursue them to the northeast."

  The sound of horseshoes echoed, a white cloud began to drift towards the northeast, Gongsun Zan rode his horse in front, looking at Sun Yu who was closely following him, feeling delighted and couldn't help but feel tender.

  But Sun Yu thought to himself, "Fighting with such a soft girl, sigh, it's really frustrating. If the girl didn't have the 'White Horse' cheat-level martial skill, who would care about her?"

  Martial General Technique, as long as I can comprehend one move of the high-level blue Martial General Technique, I won't have to rely on this soft and delicate girl to make a living.

  The army marched northeast, and soon saw many abandoned objects on the ground, broken horse whips, water bags pierced by arrows, and broken long spears... This was clearly left behind by the Wuhuan army when they retreated.

  Gongsun Zan was overjoyed and said: "The direction is correct, everyone add more strength, this time we will try to defeat the Wuhuan people so that they dare not invade the border for five years."

  Taishou Gan sighed and said, "It's all because of Wuma's rebellion, which has been dragging our army to the north. Otherwise, we could have had a showdown with Yuan Shao in the south long ago."

  Tian Yu smiled and said: "Isn't this just right? One battle to drive away the Wuhuan, and we can return south, competing with Yuan Shao for territory."

  Sun Yu listened to the side, and his heart couldn't help but wonder. In his own world, Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao and died. He didn't expect that in this world, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were also enemies competing for territory. If Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought, would he die? If she died, who else could he go to for a salary?

  The pursuit had lasted for three days, and a faint smell of blood wafted in on the wind from ahead.

  Under the pursuit of Baima Yicheng, Zhang Chun led the 20,000-strong Wuhuan army to flee continuously in a northeasterly direction. More and more Wuhuan cavalrymen were killed by Baima Yicheng, and the distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer.

  Wu Wan's army was far superior in number to Baima Yizong, but first, they were not as elite as Baima Yizong. Second, Baima Yizong had the assistance of Gong Sunzhan's military commander "Bai Ma" Yi, and also had three generals who mastered martial arts: Sun Yu, Tian Yu, and Yan Gang. Zhang Chun did not dare to return his army to fight against Baima Yizong.

  Today is the fourth day of the pursuit war, Zhang Chun's cavalry is exhausted and can't run anymore. The Wuhuan cavalry is like doomsday, with their heads hung low, wandering aimlessly on horseback towards the northeast.

  However, Baima Yizhong's physical strength was also greatly consumed, and many soldiers were already on the verge of collapse.

  Sun Yu looked at Bai Ma Yi Cong's appearance and felt a little unbearable, so he said to Gong Sun Zan: "Sir, shall we let the soldiers take a rest?"

  Gongsun Zan immediately turned around and shouted: "The whole army will rest for an hour, then we'll make a concerted effort to catch up with the Wuhuan army and thoroughly defeat them."

  Bai Ma Yi and the others all let out a sigh of relief, turned over and got off their horses, sitting on the ground to rest. Some soldiers took out dry rations and water bottles they had brought with them, replenishing their energy.

  Sun Yu took the exhausted Zhao Yun down from the horse and laid him on the grass, poor little loli had been shaken by the horse's buttocks for three days, her whole body was almost falling apart, fortunately she was young, her body was light and soft, and her recovery ability was strong. Although she was shaken badly, if she rested for a while, she would be fine.

  "Zi Long, are you scared?" Sun Yu intimidated her by saying: "If you follow me around, in the future you will often be this tired, you won't be able to take it."

  Zhao Yun's mouth twitched, and he said pitifully: "It's better than no one wanting me and starving to death."

  "Hmm... stubborn little girl." Sun Yu sighed and said stiffly, "Then practice your martial arts more, once you get stronger, you won't be afraid of being tired."

  At this moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the northeast. Huh? Isn't Zhang Chun being driven away by us to the northeast? Is she coming back to die?!

  Gongsun Zan gave an order and all the troops mounted their horses again, looking towards the northeast.

  Sun Yu quickly picked up Zhao Yun and put him back on horseback, ordering NM01: "Hurry up and fly to high altitude for reconnaissance."

  NM01 quickly reported back: "Several miles ahead, nearly 40,000 cavalry are rushing towards our army. Among them, there are 20,000 from Zhang Chun's unit, and the other 20,000 are of unknown origin. I only saw a 'Qiu' character on their commander flag."
