After listening to Yu Ban's explanation, Cao Ren, who was as careless as ashes, felt both melancholy and moved in his heart, and he had mixed feelings for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Three days ago, Cao Ren originally planned to take over the rest of the surrender and then kill himself in the account to thank Cao Gong. As a result, Yu Ban saw Cao Ren's desire for death, so he persuaded him to rest in the back account, and soon after he drank a bowl of gruel sent by his own soldiers, and then woke up to find himself lying in the carriage, while Yu Ban was by his side.

Cao Ren didn't expect Yu Ban to see his desire for death, and he didn't expect Yu Ban to negotiate conditions with Zhao Yun under his own banner in order to give him a reason to live. What Cao Ren didn't expect the most was that Zhao Yun really agreed to Yu Ban's conditions!

Although it was not the initial 50,000 troops to escort Cao's army to the Western Regions, they dragged the Xiongwu army from the Yanzhou battlefield to the Western Regions, and did not return until the end of the Central Plains War, but it was indeed worthy of Cao Cao. Who dares to say that with 50,000 infantry, he can defeat a first-class strong army like the Xiongwu Army of the Jin State?

The matter has come to this, Cao Ren naturally can't live up to Yu Ban's kindness anymore, so he said: "Brother Wen Ze, this time I want to thank you for leaving me this cheap life, now that we are far away from the Central Plains, it has saved a lot of troubles, but I don't know what will happen to Cao Gong in the future?"

Yu Ban was obviously more optimistic than Cao Ren, and he replied lightly: "Not to mention, when I talked to Zhao Zilong about the conditions at that time, the pressure on my heart seemed to be the heaviest in my life! Zhao Zilong is indeed a heroic man like a god, and now I think about it, it is still admirable." I pondered repeatedly about going to the Western Regions and the Northeast, but finally chose to go to the Western Regions, do you know why?"

Cao Ren saw that Yu Ban did not answer his question directly, and he was not in a hurry, so he asked Yu Ban a little lazily: "But why?"

Yu Ban said with a longing expression: "Zixiao has heard that after Zhang Ren, the governor of Xichuan soldiers and horses, was captured, and now he has been entrusted by Zhao Guochang with the important task of opening up the land of the extreme west? Our 50,000 brothers are not comparable to the group of soldiers in Xichuan, as long as we simply recuperate and get rid of the shadow of the defeat of Dunqiu, we can become a strong army! As long as we make military achievements for Zhao Guochang in the extreme west, he will naturally consider treating Cao Gong well, in the hope that more imperial troops will be transferred to his command and serve him from now on. Wouldn't we be able to do both?"

Cao Ren was infected by Yu Ban's emotions, and his face became much better, so he said: "Going to the extreme west to open up, although it is more difficult, you can continue to gallop the frontier, and you don't have to face the Han family's robes, but it is a good way out! In the past, Yuan Shao's subordinates Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xiao Ji and others seemed to go to the Western Regions first, and now they all have important responsibilities, and they have also preserved the Yuan family?"

Yu Ban nodded again and again, comforting Cao Ren and said: "This is exactly the truth! You and I brothers, the personal force may not be as good as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but if it is compared to the art of war and tactics, they are difficult to beat! Xu Rong, the commander of the Kunlun Army, is ordinary and ordinary in force, but now he is extremely valued by Zhao Guochang, and it can be seen that the king of Pingxi employs people, and the first priority is the commander's ability to command the army. Zixiao and I have arrived in the Western Regions, how can we compete with that one, and we must not fall into our prestige!"

The 50,000 disarmed Cao army, under the escort of 30,000 Xiongwu troops armed to the teeth, first went north to Huguan, and then went west from Huguan to Jinyang, and then followed the official road from Jinyang to the Western Regions, and could reach the Western Regions smoothly within two months.

Now on the 10,000-mile corridor from the Jin Kingdom to the Western Regions, it is unbelievable that it is too peaceful and tranquil. In the past, the horse bandits and rebel Qiang people who attacked and harassed the Xiliang area have long since disappeared. The 10,000 Huangxuan cavalry left behind by the Dingyuan army in the mighty Guzang, although the number does not sound exaggerated, is enough to ensure the tranquility of this golden road.

After continuous growth, the Huangxuan people now have a huge number of 400,000, although they are still unable to compare with the Han people of the Jin and Liang kingdoms in absolute numbers, but they are also a very important ethnic group in the north. This group has now abandoned all the messy beliefs and has devoted themselves to worshipping Zhao Xing, the king of Pingxi, as their deity, and has since become Zhao Xing's most loyal follower.

Huang Xuan is an adult man, all of whom are good at riding and shooting, but the 400,000 clan only has an establishment of 10,000 cavalry, which shows how difficult it is to join Huang Xuan's cavalry now. It is precisely because Hu Che'er has always maintained the sophistication and purity of this cavalry of his own tribe that they have played a huge role in stabilizing the descendants of the Qiang tribe in the Xiliang region. As long as there are Huang Xuan's cavalry guarding Xiliang, then no one dares to rise up and make trouble.

Zhao Xing, who was in Luoyang, after receiving the battlefield victory report personally issued by Zhao Yun of the East Route Army, not only applauded, but also said loudly: "Those who know me, the fourth brother is also!"

Zhao Yun agreed to Yu Ban's surrender conditions without Zhao Xing's consent, and Zhao Xing not only did not mean to blame after learning about this, but applauded loudly for Zhao Yun's decisiveness, which shows the depth of trust and friendship between the two brothers.

Zhao Yun agreed to the conditions of the ban at that time, but it was not a hot head, he made such a decision, it was an accurate judgment obtained after making a serious consideration about the situation of the Central Plains War in the future. At the same time, Zhao Yun was also inspired by Zhao Xing's successive transfer of the Blue Wolf Army and the Western Liang Army from the Western Route Army.

In the eyes of others, the strength of the various legions is under the jurisdiction of the Marshal of the Road, and it is not easy to move back and forth across the legions. For example, the Blue Wolf Army and the Xiliang Army, which belonged to the elite cavalry of Guan Boss, Zhao Xing didn't even ask, so he directly ordered these two troops to go out of Luoyang to support the Eastern Route Army commanded by Zhao Yun, although Ma Chao and Zang Ba were happy, who knows if Guan Yu will have an opinion?

Similarly, without the consent of Zhao Xing and Guan Yu, Zhao Yun let 30,000 Xiongwu troops who were not originally part of the Western Regions Theater escort 50,000 Cao troops to the Western Regions, which is also a bit unreasonable?

However, these problems, which seem serious to outsiders, are not a problem at all between Zhao Xing, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. In addition to the fact that their brothers have a deep affection for each other and will not compete for each other, the most important thing is that everyone has common aspirations and goals!

The Kunlun Army and the Pingxi Army are now fighting in Nanyang, and only the 100,000 "Yizhou Construction Corps" led by Zhang Ren and the 10,000 Han cavalry led by Ma Dai are waiting for Liu Yu's dispatch in the Western Regions. Since the Xiongwu Army has made enough military achievements on the battlefield of the Eastern Front, and Pang De himself is a native of Xiliang, and the Xiongwu Army was also formed in the northwest region at the beginning, it is very necessary to send the Xiongwu Army to the Western Regions to become the core military force, which is very necessary to control and deter the "Yizhou Construction Corps" and the future "Yanzhou Construction Corps".

In Zhao Yun's view, the end of the Central Plains War is not far off, and the strength of the Eastern Route Army is now more than enough, so it is better to prepare for the westward expansion of the army as soon as possible. And Zhao Xing and Guan Yu also understood and supported Zhao Yun's approach of laying out in advance, after all, the territory of the Far West was vast, and it was not something that a Western Regions Corps could eat.

Zhao Xing set a long-term goal a few years ago, once the Central Plains War ended, at least half or even more of the regular troops in the Han Dynasty would be sent to the extreme west!
