After saying goodbye to everyone, Yao Guangxiao approached Liu Wei and spoke softly.

Liu Wei nodded; this was the backup plan he had discussed with Yao Guangxiao.

If those people in Luoyang were to harm Liu Wei, not only would the troops hidden in Guanzhong appear and storm Hangu Pass.

The tens of thousands of cavalry in the Hexi Corridor and Hetao region will also seize the opportunity to move in support of Guanzhong.

If Luoyang wants to wage a nationwide war against Liu Wei, then Liu Wei will lead hundreds of thousands of cavalry across the Luo River.

Don't ask where the hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry came from.

With a population of 18 million and a population growth rate of 4 per second, Guanzhong is likely to become overcrowded.

"My lord, Dongsheng is just ahead!" the guard captain reminded him.

This guard commander was selected from the original two thousand Xuanjia cavalry.

His name is Wang Fangyi.

When Liu Wei first learned his name, he thought he was just a Xuanjia cavalryman with outstanding archery skills and excellent qualities in all aspects.

I was shocked when I found out later.

Wang Fangyi may not have been particularly outstanding in the brilliant military history of the Tang Dynasty, and he might not even have been as famous as Zhang Xun, who became famous for defending Suiyang.

But his grandmother was a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and he had once served as Li Shimin's personal bodyguard.

Upon learning this, Liu Wei felt as if he had struck gold.

Unexpectedly, there were hidden talents among the Xuanjia Cavalry.

"Commander Wang, Commander Shen, we have been running non-stop all day, so we will rest here tonight."

"General Zhang Liao must have received news of our arrival and is welcoming us at Dongsheng!"

Liu Wei said in a deep voice.

No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens of riders appeared ahead, galloping towards them.

As they approached, a young general tumbled off his horse:

"My lord, I am sorry for being late in welcoming you. Please forgive me."
