In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
He was certainly aware of the fighting capabilities of his army.
The 200,000-strong army outside Jixian City was all show and no substance.
The numbers were frightening; the truly capable warriors were 10,000 cavalrymen from the Wuhuan and 10,000 cavalrymen from the Murong tribe.
Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebel army numbered only 30,000.
The rest were refugees and laborers who had been forced into labor, with their families in tow.
"We are certain to have a decisive battle with the imperial court. If we win, we can make Youzhou our base and then set our sights on the Central Plains!"
A burning light flashed in Zhang Chun's eyes, "Even if we can't overthrow that Han emperor, we can at least take the Yellow River as the boundary, seize all the land in Hebei, and dominate Hebei."
"At that time, Murong Khan and King Qiuliju will share the rich land of Hebei with our king."
Zhang Chun's words seemed to have a magical power, making Murong Mohuba and Qiu Liju's blood boil.
"Strategist, tell me quickly, what's our next step?"
Everyone looked on with longing, staring expectantly at Zhang Chun.
"Prince Dunta's plan to pursue and kill those thousand cavalry remains unchanged!"
"General Murong Yunhai continues his advance into Fangcheng."
"Order all the cities of Yuyang, Shanggu, Daijun, and Youbeiping to fortify their defenses and scorched earth in the face of surprise attacks and harassment, and to hold the city gates firmly. They have penetrated deep into our territory and will be unable to supply us, so they will naturally collapse."
"Your Majesty, should we send men to attack the city and intimidate Liu He in Ji County?"
"Meanwhile, the Jixian camp was fully prepared with troops, on high alert at all times."
"The place where we will fight the imperial court is this vast plain outside Jixian City."
"At that time, we'll see how the cavalry of Murong Khan and King Qiuliju display their might."
Zhang Chun made arrangements in an orderly manner, and everyone nodded in approval.
"Strategist, if the hundred cavalrymen who attacked Shanggu were from Bingzhou, then the situation in Dai County is probably not much better!"
"If they advance unimpeded and capture Juyong Pass, wouldn't we be..."
Suddenly, Murong Yunhai thought of a critical problem.
hiss!
Murong Mohuba gasped in shock.
If Juyong Pass is captured, and the Murong army wants to retreat back to the foot of the Great Xianbei Mountains, then things will be in trouble!
