Xiao Cavalry Guard, which is also the name given by Xiao Chen to Xiao Ye's command, means that it is also simple and easy to understand, that is, a brave cavalry.

Although both of them had a small scale of only fifty people, Xiao Chen gave them a guard.

"Boss, are they serious?" Tie Kunlun looked at Xiao Chen.

"Okay, Kunlun just came, don't pester him first, go back and wait for him to heal, he can follow whoever he wants, and do whatever he wants." Xiao Chen forcibly lifted the two of them out, and let Kunlun take a good rest.

After resting for two days, Xiao Chen was ready to officially set off, and set off to the palace to bid farewell to Li Wanjiang, but saw that his face was haggard, his sideburns were white, and he hadn't seen him for three days, as if he was more than ten years old.

He just repeated a few words of advice to Xiao Chen, but he personally sent him to the door of the main hall for the first time to show his honor.

Xiao Chen went to the harem to say goodbye to Murong Danqiu and the others, and when they were leaving, they had some sadness, needless to say.

Xiao Chen commanded 1,100 cavalry, but only 800 horses, he could not let 300 brothers on foot, so when he was leaving, when he passed by the horse farm, he directly led his brothers to rush in, and grabbed 500 war horses without saying a word.

Lao Tzu originally asked for 5,000 war horses, but Lu Jing, the secretary of your military department, wanted to go back 2,000 again, and now Lao Tzu's troops are expanding, and he urgently needs war horses......

If Lu Shangshu has any opinions, let him go to Northern Xinjiang to find me.

The officials of the horse farm knew his temperament, and they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so they could only watch him take away five hundred war horses.

It was too late to tell Lu Jing, because the people had already pulled out the birds.

All the way to the north, five days later, he and Zhuge Xiaosheng and others met victoriously at a place called Wolong Pass.

From Wolong Pass to Yanyun Pass, it is only about a day's journey.

Wolong Pass is a very important pass and is known as the second most important pass in the north.

If Yanyunguan misses, this is the gateway of the Great Zhou, so Li Wanjiang also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers here, and there are several large granaries, thinking that Yanyunguan is a strong backing.

The general guarding here is Xue Jinshan, one of the famous Black Dragon Four Heroes under Li Wanjiang, and the leader is the most brave and combative heavy cavalry Black Dragon Iron Guard of the 30,000 Great Zhou!

Wei Yuntian came out of the Black Dragon Iron Guard at the beginning, just looking at his quality, you can know how strong the Black Dragon Guard's combat power is.

Xue Jinshan is one of Li Wanjiang's most trusted generals, and he is also a pure soldier, so he expresses great admiration for Xiao Chen's feat of the Northern Expedition...... and empathy.

Knowing that Zhuge Xiaosheng wanted to rest and resettle here, he vacated a ready-made camp without saying a word, and also sent a lot of pigs and mutton to reward the three armies, which can be said to be very interesting.

As soon as Xiao Chen arrived, he didn't have time to rest, so he personally went to visit and thanked him by the way.

Seeing Xiao Chen's dusty appearance, Xue Jinshan was very moved, and he didn't dare to practice it.

Because in terms of grade, Xiao Chen is a first-class, he is only a second-grade, and he is still a subordinate of Xiao Chen.

But he is the general who holds the 30,000 elite Black Dragon Guards of the Great Zhou, but Xiao Chen is just a marshal of a miscellaneous army, and the comparison of real power between the two can be said to be very different.

The greetings have ended, and when it comes to the battle of Yanyun, the situation is already very tense, and the Xian Xiao cavalry has almost swept the entire territory of Yanyun, and now it has begun to approach the north of Yanyun Mountain, and there are signs of assembly.

Yanyun Pass had already entered the first level of combat readiness in case they launched a surprise attack.

"There are only more than 20,000 Xian cavalry in total, and Yanyun Mountain is a mountainous terrain, so it is difficult for their cavalry to spread out, so they shouldn't launch an attack, right?" Xiao Chen was also taken aback when he heard this.

Do they really dare to go south?

"Lord Xiao doesn't know, they have collected tens of thousands of our Great Zhou troops in Yanyun County, and captured tens of thousands of strong men, and now they are known as 100,000 people! I heard that the construction of catapults and other large siege equipment has begun, and that many small troops have been sent into the mountains to harass them, so the situation is not optimistic. Xue Jinshan Road.

"Well, clown jumping off the beam, this is going crazy!" Xiao Chen began to think about whether it was possible to fight them in Yanyun Pass?

It is estimated that it is impossible, Li Wanjiang's order is to let him go out of the customs to recover Yanyun County, and he cannot stay in Yanyun Pass.

Unless the Xian Cavalry comes over now.

"What are your plans for Lord Xiao to go here?" Xue Jinshan asked.

"What's the plan? It's nothing more than taking one step at a time. Xiao Chen sighed, and Xue Jinshan stopped talking, replacing him with deep sympathy.

Lin Yue recruited 3,000 strong recruits in Haining Bay, plus the original more than 1,000 people, plus the 1,000 elite cavalry brought by Xiao Chen this time, it was only more than 5,000 people when it was full.

The recruits have not been trained, and their combat power is quite weak, and the more than 1,000 are veterans, but all of them are infantry, and the only thing that can really match the hard steel of the Xian Xiao cavalry is such a thousand fine cavalry.

In the end, it's still a rabble.

Moreover, they went directly to face the Xian cavalry on the plain terrain, and they didn't even have a city that could be defended!

It is said that Yanyun County also had nearly 100,000 soldiers in total, but they were all defeated when there was a city to defend them...... If Xiao Chen's thousands of people passed, the odds of winning would not be very big.

Nearly zero.

"Brother, there is something very strange along the way, why don't you see a single person who fled back from Yanyun County?" Xiao Chen said.

"Oh, the Yanyun guard closed the checkpoint for Qin Gang, but all the people who came from the northern frontier, no matter who it was, were all turned away from the pass, and no one was allowed to enter." Xue Jinshan Road.

"Why?" Xiao Chen was shocked and angry.

"He is afraid that there are spies mixed with Xian Xiaoren, if the switch puts them in, the inside and the outside should be combined, and Yanyun Pass will not be easy to keep." Xue Jinshan Road.

"If you are in a groove, then let the people of Yanyun County be killed by the Xian people?" Xiao Chen said angrily.

"Soldiers are also murderous, this is war!" Xue Jinshan said, "If it is a brother, I and Qin Gang will be in another place, but I am afraid that we can only do this." Xue Jinshan shook his head and sighed.

"General Xue doesn't have to cover it up for him...... That's what the emperor meant, right? Xiao Chen said coldly.

"It's what the Queen Mother meant." Xue Jinshan hesitated for a moment before saying.

As we all know, Qin Gang is the nephew of the Queen Mother and one of the generals who hold military power among his relatives.

In fact, Li Wanjiang didn't want him to guard Yanyun Pass at the beginning, but at the insistence of the Queen Mother, Li Wanjiang had to compromise.

Because no matter what, Qin Gang is also his cousin, and he can be regarded as a fierce general.

But Yanyunguan is too important to Da Zhou, and Li Wanjiang has always wanted to replace him with his henchman.

wanted to transfer Qin Gang away several times, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.

He ordered Xue Jinshan to guard Wolong Pass to monitor Qin Gang, and if Qin Gang made any changes, he would immediately cut off his supplies.

The Great Zhou army is overstretched everywhere, in fact, it is also because the consumption of this kind of infighting is too great......
