Sun Hao hurried and finally returned to Anyang City before New Year's Eve.

After Sun Hao left, the Han army's offensive against Teng and Jin also came to a halt, and began to make organizational adjustments according to Sun Hao's new reorganization plan.

It was not until May of the 198th year of the Han calendar that the Han army, which had rested for half a year, crossed the Lin River and launched another attack on Kunzhou and Lingzhou of Teng State, and Raozhou and Haozhou of Jin State.

Sun Hao did not lead the troops in person this time, but a piece of news soon came from the State of Yan, forcing Sun Hao to summon the troops again and prepare to lead the army in person.

The State of Yan bordered Bozhou and Cizhou, two of the four northeastern states of the Han State. The founding emperor of the State of Yan was Chen Xiao, the King of Yan during the "Five Kings Rebellion" of the State of Liang.

The State of Yan was first established when King Chen Xiao of Yan led his army to annex the five vassal states in the east of the State of Liang. By the time the Han Dynasty was established, the State of Yan had expanded to include twelve states and a population of over 60 million.

However, with the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Yan Dynasty gradually declined, and later the Yan Dynasty even became a vassal of the Han Dynasty.

Today, Yan State is just a small country with a population of less than eight million. Most of Yan State's territory has been occupied by the newly emerging Donglu people.

The Donglu people are a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural ethnic group on the eastern plains. Although the Donglu people have only risen for more than a hundred years, they have destroyed countless countries.

According to the intelligence obtained by the Seven Banners Guard, the population that the Donglu tribe can control is probably more than 200 million.

The leader of the Donglu tribe, like other tribes on the grassland, was called the Great Khan.

The Donglu tribe's army was divided into twelve flags, namely the Plain Yellow Banner, the Bordered Yellow Banner, the Plain White Banner, the Bordered White Banner, the Plain Black Banner, the Bordered Black Banner, the Plain Red Banner, the Bordered Red Banner, the Plain Blue Banner, the Bordered Blue Banner, the Plain Green Banner and the Bordered Green Banner.

The five hundred regular soldiers in each flag formed a "Niulu", five "Niulu" formed a "Jiala", and five "Jiala" formed a "Gushan", with Niulu Ezhen, Jiala Ezhen and Gushan Ezhen as generals respectively.

In addition to the regular troops, each flag of the Donglu tribe also has a large number of auxiliary troops.

For example, the regular troops of a "Gushan" are about 12,500, and its auxiliary troops are generally twice as many as the regular troops, reaching 25,000.

The Donglu tribe has twelve flags, each of which has more than twenty "Gushan" and at least a dozen "Gushan", with a total military force of at least eight or nine million.

Moreover, the Donglu tribe's army has always been known for its sophisticated weapons and fierce combat capabilities.

This time, Borjin, the leader of the Zhenglu Banner of the Donglu tribe, personally led eight "Gushan" of the Zhenglu Banner to invade the State of Yan. Feeling that it was difficult to resist, the State of Yan immediately sent a request for help to the State of Han.

The reason why Borjin, the leader of the Zhenglu Banner of the Donglu tribe, personally led the army to attack the State of Yan was because the State of Yan flatly refused to marry Princess Caiyun to Borjin as a concubine.

Emperor Chen Xuan of Yan State intended to send his eldest daughter, Princess Caiyun, to Sun Hao's harem.

In the imperial palace in Anyang City, the Left Prime Minister Zhuge Liang said to Sun Hao, "Your Majesty, since you are only leading the First Regiment of the Imperial Guard, isn't that a little insufficient?"

Because most of the troops around Anyang City were transferred to the battlefields of Teng State or Jin State, Sun Hao only planned to lead the reorganized First Regiment of the Imperial Guard to rescue Yan State this time.

Sun Hao said decisively: "The First Regiment of the Imperial Guards has 200,000 elite soldiers, which is more than enough to rescue the State of Yan.

Just ask the counties along the way to prepare food and fodder for twenty armies."

Left Prime Minister Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Donglu tribe's army, especially the cavalry, is said to be extremely powerful.

Although the Donglu tribe only dispatched eight "Gushan" of the Zhenglu Banner this time, the Donglu tribe can send more troops into the Yan State at any time.

Your Majesty, please at least bring the Second Regiment of the Imperial Guards with you, so that we can feel more at ease."

In fact, Sun Hao's greatest confidence in personally leading the army to rescue the State of Yan came from the remaining 200 million points of conversion value in the "Hero Converter".

If necessary, Sun Hao can use 200 million conversion points to exchange for 200,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders at any time.

However, considering the concerns of his ministers, Sun Hao finally agreed to lead two towns of the Imperial Guard to rescue the State of Yan.

The first and second towns of the Imperial Guard each had 150,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and 50,000 Modao soldiers. In order to increase the marching speed, the 300,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry of the two towns were each equipped with an additional warhorse to carry food and fodder.

Each of the 100,000 Modao soldiers in the two towns was equipped with three war horses, one for riding, one for carrying food and fodder, and one for carrying the Modao soldiers' weapons and armor.

When Sun Hao led an army of 400,000 into the State of Yan, the army of the Donglu tribe under the Zhenglu Banner had already surrounded the capital of Yan, Kang'an City.

Outside Kang'an City, in the Donglu army camp, Gushan Ezhen Ebo, the first Gushan of the Zhenglu Banner, reported to Borjin, the leader of the Zhenglu Banner: "Twelfth Prince, the Han army has entered the territory of Yan State.

According to the intelligence we have obtained, the Han army has a strength of about 400,000 troops, led by the emperor of Han himself, of which 300,000 are armored cavalry and the other 100,000 are heavy infantry.

However, these 400,000 troops are all from the Han army's most elite imperial guards, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary."

Borjin, the leader of the Zhenglu Banner, is the son of Mukhalen, the current Khan of the Donglu tribe. He is the twelfth child, so he is called the twelfth prince by Ebo.

A'ge, in the language of the Donglu people, means prince.

Upon hearing this, Borjin, the leader of the Zhenglu Banner, couldn't help but show excitement. "I didn't expect to catch such a big fish this time. I know that my father will be very happy to capture the emperor of Han alive."
