As one of the acropolis of the capital of the Great Qian, the geographical location of Xuyang City is excellent, at the edge of the Central Plains Basin, the west is Guangwu Mountain, the north is the Yuanjiang River, the south is the Tuhe River, only the east leading to the capital is flat like a river.

The entire Central Plains Basin is more than 600,000 square kilometers, Zhengjing City is in the center of the vast Central Plains Basin, and there are three gaps in the Central Plains Basin, which are the last barrier of Zhengjing City, and Xuyang City is one of them.

Xuyang City is extremely huge, although it is not as large as a state city, but it is much larger than the county town, the city area is close to 3,000 square kilometers, the city wall is tall and magnificent, and millions of people live.

Because it is one of the three major cities that enter the Central Plains Basin to go to the capital, the superior geographical location makes Xuyang City extremely prosperous, even more so than many state cities.

Cao Ze occupies this important military city, which can be said to be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Yuancang is not far from Yuanjiang and Xuyang City, it is the most important material hoarding base of the Daqian Dynasty, there are countless grains, weapons, and equipment, and when the Cao lord's army has not yet arrived in Xuyang City, Cao Ze sent a vanguard to take over Yuancang.

This is the right given to him by Emperor Qian, and with Emperor Qian's letter, the general Yuancang, who is already loyal to Emperor Qian, will naturally not cause trouble.

When Cao Zhu's army arrived, Cao Ze first went to Yuancang to inspect it, and only then did he feel relieved after confirming that the countless weapons and equipment and food in it were there.

After inspecting Yuancang, Cao Ze took over the military administration of Xuyang City, he had a letter from Emperor Qian, and he was still a general of the chariot cavalry, even if someone was dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything.

Cao Ze, the government affairs of Xuyang City, were all thrown to Taishou, and the military power was firmly in his hands, and there must be no mistakes in this regard.

Similar to Cao Ze's expectations, the garrison part of Rising Sun City is not much, only 200,000, after all, it is not a war period, and the daily consumption of a large number of troops is an astronomical amount.

The defenders of Xuyang City are called the Lieyang Army, which is divided into three arms, namely 30,000 heavy infantry, 120,000 light infantry and 50,000 light cavalry, which are a few more elite than the Broken Hanging Army.

After these 200,000 troops were received by Cao Ze, his strength increased a lot.

On the same day, Cao Ze convened five cadres including Cao Zhengyu and Cao Yuanzhan to discuss, and Zhu Yun, the Taishou of Xuyang City, and Chen Mugang, the general of the Lieyang Army, also participated.

After some deliberation, Cao Ze made an arrangement.

400,000 Broken Hanging Army and 120,000 Lieyang Army light infantry stationed outside the city, built a large camp at the foot of Guangwu Mountain, 30 miles away is Yuanjiang and Yuancang, Yuancang is guarded by 50,000 Euphorbia, the remaining 50,000 Euphorbia and 80,000 Lieyang Army heavy infantry, light cavalry are stationed in the Nancheng military camp in Xuyang City.

Cao Ze arranged it this way, also just in case, the intelligence said that the guards of Xuyang City and the Taishou were loyal to Emperor Qian, but who knows if it is true, who knows if it will be treacherous?

Cao Ze didn't want an accident between Yuancang and Xuyang City, if something happened in Yuancang, the army would be in chaos, and if something happened to Xuyang City, there would be no way to retreat.

With the Euphorbia guard, everything is basically worry-free, and the soldiers of the Euphorbia are all at least in the Three Realms, among which the leaders of each road are all small grandmasters of the Eight Realms, and the commander is Cao Yuanzhan, a grandmaster-level powerhouse.

One hundred thousand euphorbia warriors can even fight hard for the great master of the unity of heaven and man, which is enough to ensure that Cao Ze's rear will not have accidents.

Cao Ze's distrust made Taishou Zhu Yun and the guard Chen Mugang complain, but they had no choice but to understand Cao Ze's difficulties, so they could only agree, thinking about behaving well and gaining Cao Ze's trust.

After doing this, Cao Ze did not rest, and rushed to Zhengjing City with 100,000 Splitting Army non-stop, accompanied by Xue Ningmei, a stunning guard, only his cousin Cao Zhengyu, and the others stayed in Xuyang City.

For example, Cao Feixue had to establish an intelligence organization to provide intelligence for Cao Ze's activities in the capital, and this organization was named Jinyiwei by Cao Ze.

On the hundred-meter-high city wall, Cao Yuanzhan, Cao Feixue, Cao Xiong, and the generals of the Taishou and Lieyang Army looked at the Splitting Army speeding away, with different expressions.

The three of the Cao family were a little worried, the situation in the capital was chaotic, the Qiandi camp was weak, and Cao Ze had no cultivation, could Cao Zhengyu, the peak grandmaster, really protect him?

If something happens, how will they explain it to the head of the house?

It's just that they can't object to this arrangement, first, the capital can't bring too many troops to go, and second, Xuyang City and Yuancang are extremely important, and they must be heavily guarded, and at the same time deal with the capital.

A flash of excitement flashed on the faces of Taishou Zhu Yun and Chen Mugang, the general of the Lieyang Army, Chen Liucao's clan was the first big force to arrive in the Qiandi camp, and it was also the strongest help known, which undoubtedly boosted the morale of everyone in the Qiandi camp.

The rumors in the capital intensified, but they all firmly believed that this was a rumor, a dirty water splashed by the general and the three kings, who wanted to set things right and defend the country, but they didn't have the ability.

"Zhongzhou is worthy of being 'Jingzhou', where the capital is located, and it is located in the vast and flat Central Plains Basin, this official road is really domineering."

On the carriage, Cao Ze opened the corner of the curtain, looked at the official road that was as flat as a river outside, and sighed.

This time, he passed through Qingzhou, Yuzhou and Shenzhou, and found that the width of the official road was only three to five hundred meters, and the widest official road in Shenzhou was only five hundred and forty meters, and the official road from Xuyang City to Zhengjing City was directly more than one kilometer, which was of great strategic significance.

Xue Ningmei's Qianqian Su hand pulled open the curtain on the other side, glanced outside, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and he was a little shocked in his heart.

What Cao Ze said is true.

She thought of her hometown of Xichu, which was far worse than the Daqian Dynasty in terms of official road construction, and the official road outside the capital of Xichu was only 100 meters wide, and it could be seen from this point that the gap between the national strength of the two countries was huge.

Cao Ze glanced at her, withdrew his hand, and began to think.

His arrangements in Sunrise City couldn't be hidden, and Cao Ze didn't think about hiding it, so he generously let others know that the enemy could help him?

He and Xue Ningmei are both Heavenly and Great Grandmasters, and it won't take long to rush back to Xuyang City from the capital, if there is a Heavenly and Great Grandmaster to make trouble, it is in Cao Ze's arms, and he doesn't mind using the life of the Great Grandmaster to kill chickens and monkeys.

This time he entered Beijing, it seems that he only brought a grandmaster and 100,000 earth splitting troops, and he didn't have much to rely on, but who knew that the real reliance was himself and Xue Ningmei?

If anyone really underestimated him, then Cao Ze would have to make the enemy suffer a big loss, otherwise he would not continue to disguise, and he would have already shown his strength.

Xuyang City, Yuancang and the army under his command are the confidence of Cao Ze to dare to step into the capital, his own strength and Xue Ningmei are the security guarantees, and the Divine Sword Army and the Black Dragon Horse are his trump cards.

When it comes to the critical moment, he can play these two cards and give the enemy a lore.

With Rising Sun City and Yuancang, even if the two major legions are released, they can support their consumption, and it is not easy to detect it mixed in the army of 800,000.

When Cao Ze came back to his senses from his thoughts, the capital city had arrived.

He opened the curtain and looked over, and was immediately shocked by this magnificent and majestic city.

It was the most majestic city he had ever seen!
