"Okay! That's good!!"

Reli nodded in satisfaction, then led his men away to gather his troops.

About half an hour later, apart from the 500 people left behind, all 6,500 people of the Northern Wuhuan had been assembled.

"All troops, proceed at top speed!!"

With a command from Sheli, the Northern Wuhuan troops began to rush at full speed towards the encampment of Huangfu Song and his men.

This time, Sheli only brought Han Qing with him, while Li Ru, Wang Ming and other young men were left behind at the camp.

In Sheli's view, his son was about the same age as Li Ru and the others, so it would be easier to get closer to them.

On the other side, Huang Zhong and his men were leading their troops into a forest by the roadside. Since leaving that tribe, they had spared no effort, alternating between two horses and marching for nearly eight hours a day. After two days of forced marching, they were now only about seventy miles away from their ambush site.

Gongsun Du approached Huang Zhong and said solemnly, "Hansheng, Commandant Huangfu gave us two days left until the agreed time. We must hurry tonight!"

Huang Zhong looked at the map in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Yes! Tell the brothers to take a good rest and set off immediately after sunset, trying to reach the ambush site before noon tomorrow!"

"good!!"

Gongsun Du nodded and began to relay Huang Zhong's instructions. The soldiers simply nodded silently and then began to rest.

As the sun had just set, all the soldiers woke up without being told by their officers, tidied their gear, mounted their horses, and followed Huang Zhong and the others toward their ambush target.

As they marched, the scouts who had been leading the way during the day arrived in front of Huang Zhong.

"Reporting to the general, the road ahead is flat and there are no tribes around. Our army can speed up its march!"

"good!!"

Upon hearing the scout's report, Huang Zhong showed a relieved expression. He then looked up at the sky, where the moon was exceptionally bright, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime.

"Heaven truly blesses the Han army!!"
