Youzhou and Jixian have officially been upgraded from a large city to a giant city with a population of one million.

This city is one of the front-line cities confronting Liaoxi County.

The Han Empire had not yet established Shanhaiguan, so the Liaodong army attacked Youzhou from the Liaoxi Corridor, and there were basically no obstacles. The Liaodong cavalry could drive straight in.

Wei Qing commanded the Youzhou army and set up defenses in Jixian and Yuyang County.

At the base of the Tiger and Leopard Legion, Cao Cao was training the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to wait for the war in western Liaoning to break out.

"Looking at Jieshi in the east, to see the vast sea, how quiet the water is, and the mountains and islands are standing..."

Cao Cao suddenly became very excited. He led a team of cavalry into the western Liaoning Corridor to investigate the terrain. After returning to Youzhou, he yelled Fang Qiu.

Cao Cao was very proud of his eyes when he looked at the Yuefu poem on the paper.

Cao Cao was also half a literati, capable of literature and martial arts.

However, there is still a volume of books on the desk, and the pen and ink are not dry.

Chu Tian repeatedly urged Cao Cao to compile the military book "Meng De's New Book", and he had to write a total of 14 articles, but Cao Cao delayed for several years before he wrote half of the article.

"I can't do it today, I'll write it tomorrow..."

Cao Cao had just written a few words and complained, and felt a headache about compiling the "New Book of Meng De", so he postponed it until the next day...

There were rapid footsteps outside the camp, and Cao Cao's clan brother Cao Chun walked into the tent: "Brother, one of them is here."

"Who?"

Cao Cao was surprised. Could it be that Chu Tian dispatched some military generals to the Tiger and Leopard Legion?

"Father!"

A young general strode in and was a little excited to see Cao Cao.

"Zi Xu, why are you here?"

Cao Cao was a little surprised. The person who arrived was not an outsider, but his eldest son, Cao Ang.

Because in "Lord", Cao Cao did not experience the Battle of Wancheng and did not covet Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou, so his eldest son Cao Ang was not killed.

Cao Ang was full of energy, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers: "The King of Xia sent me to my father's army to train, hoping to be the only one in the future."

"You... are still far from it." Cao Cao thought that Cao Ang's ability was not as good as himself, but it could not undermine Cao Ang's self-confidence. "Since you are here to experience it, then you should act according to military orders and do not rely on private relationships and act recklessly."

"yes."

Cao Ang officially joined the Tiger and Leopard Legs Army and served as a commander under Cao Chun.

Cao Cao was also a senior executive of the Chutian power. Cao Ang was underestimated, so he became the chief lieutenant as soon as he became an official.

The commander was second to the general and the commander. He was already a very high official position in the Han Dynasty. The commander of the county could even control the troops of a county. However, at this time, the princes were kings and their military achievements increased. Generals and commanders could be seen everywhere, and the commander could only be considered as the middle and lower class.

"Your father has been fighting for King Xia for many years. Now he is the General of Zhenbei. Don't lose your father's face."

Cao Chun patted Cao Ang on the shoulder.

Because Cao Cao is no longer the lord, but the boss, Cao Chun is more relaxed and gets along with Cao Ang without any pressure.

"I, Cao Ang, will definitely work hard and live up to the reputation of the Cao family!"

Cao Ang clenched his fists.

The Cao family is currently a big family of Chutian forces.

During this period, the Cao family and the Xiahou family were full of talents and the two families were always close, so they formed an influential family in Qiao County.

Chu Tian turned a blind eye. Among the Cao family and Xiahou family, Cao Cao and Cao Pi were okay, but in the third and fourth generations, they began to decline.

The existence of aristocratic families is inevitable, as long as they are within a controllable range.

Since Cao Ang first became an official, and Cao Cao's second son Cao Pi was less than ten years old, Cao Chun was optimistic about Cao Ang: "Very good. I will lead a team of tiger and leopard cavalry to Yuyang County for inspection soon. You can follow me to act together."

"Yuyang County?"

"That's right, Yuyang County. The forces of our and Liaodong Army are bounded by Yuyang County. Both sides migrate their population to the hinterland, and Yuyang County's population may be only a few hundred thousand. Our Tiger and Leopard Corps needs to inspect Yuyang County from time to time to prevent Liaodong cavalry from raiding Ji County. Ji County has many important buildings, and once Ji County is lost, half of Youzhou will be lost. Not long ago, your father and I led a team of light cavalry to go deep into western Liaoning to investigate, and the Liaodong Army may launch a counterattack."

"The Liaodong Army's stronghold in Liaoxi County is Guzhu City?"

"The Liaoxi Corridor, Guzhu City to the west, and Liucheng to the east are all fortresses established by the Ming King to control the entrances and exits of the Liaoxi Corridor. If you want to capture Liaodong, you must open up the Liaoxi Corridor. You can also pass through the grassland and attack the former land of Fuyu Kingdom. However, the Liaoxi Corridor is in the hands of the Liaodong Army and poses a great threat to Youzhou. Therefore, you must explore the terrain and force around Guzhu City."

...

In Yuyang County, a Xianbei cavalry was ordered to enter this place.

The Ming general Sun Chuanting was stationed in Yuyang County in advance and joined this Xianbei cavalry.

The Xianbei tribe was not only Xianbei people, but also a combination of some Han people and Huns, with complex components.

"A cavalry entered western Liaoning not long ago and marched to Jieshi Mountain. We must fight back."

Sun Chuanting said to the arrival of Murong Xianbei leader Murong Ba.

Sun Chuanting was divided into generals of the Liaoxi Army by Mingguan and belonged to the direct army, so his actual status was higher than that of the Xianbei generals.

"It is certainly not easy for the opponent's cavalry to go deep into the corridor of western Liaoning and escape unstoppable.

Murong Ba and his cavalry dismounted, and their iron armor rubbed against the heavy horse armor, making a collision sound.

Murong Ba's elite cavalry unit is equipped with iron cavalry.

"You lead a team of cavalry and go to Jixian with me to investigate the situation in Jixian to show a counterattack and at the same time shock the enemy. The King of Xia should not have made up his mind to attack Liaodong. His primary goal is Guanzhong."

"Can."

Murong Ba was irresistible to Sun Chuanting's orders because Sun Chuanting's status was higher than that of him.

Sun Chuanting saw two other people beside Murong Ba: "Who is this?"

Murong Ba replied, "My son Murong Ling, Murong Lin."

"Murong Xianbei is indeed full of talents."

Sun Chuanting's feelings sounded like thunder to Murong Ba.

Murong Ba had already noticed the meaning of Sun Chuanting's words, and Sun Chuanting was very wary of Murong Xianbei.

The Murong Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei and other tribes lived in the chaotic sixteen countries in China. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, hundreds of years of wars were endless and talents emerged.

Sun Chuanting was alert and alert to Murong Xianbei to a certain extent. Murong Ba had already noticed Sun Chuanting's vague hostility.

Although the two are in the same camp, they are on guard against each other.

Sun Chuanting used his light to observe the two sons brought by Murong Ba. Among them, Murong Ling was handsome and seemed to be both civil and military, but Murong Lin was a little timid and was not loved by Murong Ba.

It is obvious that Murong Ling is the heir who is optimistic about Murong Ba.

"With two men helping each other, this time I enter Jixian to investigate, I will definitely succeed. I will leave tomorrow."

...

The Xianbei cavalry marched to the west in secret, with a small number of people, about a few hundred people to cover up their eyes and ears.

The total number of troops stationed in Yuyang County by King Xia and King Ming is more than 100,000, and the cavalry of hundreds of people is difficult to detect.

"Ling'er, this time, you should not fight for the war. If there is any inappropriateness, you should retreat immediately. We come to investigate, not a war. King Xia and King Ming are still preparing for troops. There will be no war in the short time."

Murong Ba intends to cultivate his eldest son Murong Ling, so he gave advice on the way.

Murong Lin, who was not valued by Murong Ba, looked at Murong Ling with envy, jealousy and resentment.

"The winner of the battle between King Xia and King Ming must be King Xia. The battle in western Liaoning will be the time for you to make contributions. Maybe the war in western Liaoning ends, and you can be promoted from a commander to a captain or even a general."

Cao Chun led a team of tiger and leopard cavalry and patrolled the Yuyang County border with Cao Ang, and said to Cao Ang.

"In the war in western Liaoning, my father can definitely defeat the Liaoning garrison Sun Chuanting with General Wei Qing."

"Don't underestimate the western Liaoning. There are also the Wuhuan tribes and Xianbei tribes. They are the hawks and dogs of the Ming king. Our tiger and leopard cavalry have clashed with them from time to time recently, and hundreds of casualties on both sides have not received much benefit."

Cao Chun personally fought a small-scale battle with the three legions stationed in western Liaoning, so he knew the strength of the Mingguan power.

The Mingguan forces deployed three legions: Liaoxi Legion (Sun Chuanting), Xianbei Legion (Murong Ba), and Wuhuan Legion (Tadun), and confronted Chu Tian’s Yulin Legion (Wei Qing), Tiger and Legion (Cao Cao), Shenfa Legion (Xu Rong, Xiahou Yuan), and Defensive Legion (Zhou Yafu) deployed in Youzhou.

"The leader of the Wuhuan tribe is Tadun, and his abilities are the three kings of Wuhuan, and the Wuhuan people compare him to Maodun Shanyu. This person is the leader of Wuhuan supported by the Ming king, so his loyalty to the Ming king should be not low. Although the Wuhuan people compare him to Maodun, his ability is probably far worse than Maodun. Even so, it should not be underestimated."

"There are three tribes in the Xianbei tribe, Murong Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, Duan Xianbei, and Duan Xianbei. The Intelligence Department is conducting investigations in the Wuhuan tribe, and suspects that some time ago, barbarians emerged, and some Xianbei leaders fled to the eastern Xianbei and concealed their identities."

"The leader of the Liaoxi Army is Sun Chuanting, and he has an elite army under his command, named the New Qin Army."

Cao Chun explained the situation in western Liaoning to Cao Ang who was just a new arrival.

In short, the Liaoxi Army was the core, in addition to the Liaoxi Army, there were also the three kings of Wuhuan and the three major Xianbei troops.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains War continued, and many people fled to Liaodong and took refuge in western Liaoning, strengthening the population of Liaodong and western Liaoning.

Cao Ang nodded while listening. He had indeed heard that in the past two years, many barbarian heroes have been born. Even the Xia King recruited a group of barbarians. In the Mingguan, because the Wuhuan, Xianbei, Goguryeo, Goryeo, Jurchen, and Fuyu tribes were mixed, there might be more barbarian heroes, some were killed, some surrendered, and some were hidden in various tribes to avoid the pursuit.

It can be said that the situation in Liaodong and western Liaoning is more complicated than other counties.

Cao Chun and Cao Ang's tiger and leopard cavalry were patrolling. They didn't know that not far away, the cavalry led by Sun Chuanting and Murong Ba were approaching them, attempting to enter the territory of Jixian for reconnaissance.
