The number of elite troops of this Five Merchants Alliance is actually not much, but about a thousand.

Although the number of people is small, because this army is completely composed of masters, the combat effectiveness of this army of the Five Merchants Alliance is enough to compare with tens of thousands of ordinary officers and soldiers. Neither the central court nor the armies of the kings could find a single one that could match it.

As for the rebellious kings from all over Middle-earth, the quality of their armies was mixed. The army in the hands of the most powerful and powerful King of Jin, Luozhou City, Henan King of Chang'an Mansion, and King Qin of Chang'an Mansion are all elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not much better than that of the border army among the top two in the official army, and it is only slightly inferior to the nine guards of the capital.

But the armies in the hands of the other kings were much worse than those of the three kings. The output of their fiefdoms was not as large as that of the three kings, and the money and grain that served as the basis for building an army were naturally not as abundant as those of the three kings. What is more important is the people, the other kings' fiefdoms are not much populous land, so the number of armies that can be formed is limited.

For example, the princes around King Qin in Chang'an Mansion only had about 10,000 troops in their hands, and the equipment and training of the soldiers were far inferior to those of King Qin's army.

As for the three kings, he can also be regarded as a powerful and powerful prince, and perhaps the king of Bianliang, whose fief in the east of the king of Henan is in Kaifeng Mansion, can be called.

After all, compared to Kuching and ancient Qin, there are many mountains and few lands, and there are ancient Yu lands such as Luozhou City/Luoyang Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, which are relatively flat. It is also because of this that the kings of the ancient Yu land of Central Continent are generally stronger than the kings of Kuching and ancient Qin of Central Continent in terms of human and financial resources. As for the combat effectiveness of the armies of the kings of Guyu, it is not necessarily as strong as the armies of the kings of Kuching and Guqin, which are more powerful in terms of people. After all, when there was no war, the Central Plains area of the Central Plains of the Ancient Yu Land of Zhongzhou was obviously richer than the Ancient Qin Land and the Kuching Land, and the people naturally lacked some blood and wildness.

However, the fief is the king of Bianliang in Kaifeng Mansion, and his army is recognized as stronger among the kings. Although it is not necessarily stronger than the three kings, it can still be stronger than other kings.

After all, Kaifeng is a big city, with a good economy and a large population, so it can have enough wealth to raise a sizable army. And Kaifeng Mansion is also very close to Dongzhou, and the King of Bianliang has always been friendly with the Five Merchants Alliance of Dongzhou, so the forces of the King of Bianliang and the Five Merchants League of Dongzhou have always had trade contacts, such as weapons and horses and other prohibited military resources, and the King of Bianliang has also brought in a lot through the Five Merchants Alliance.

In this way, King Bianliang was able to organize an army of more than 30,000 people, which was no less than the three kings in terms of the size of the army alone.

The king of Bianliang was also willing to invest money in the army in his hands, so the weapons and equipment of the Bianliang army were absolutely good, and the combat effectiveness was also very strong. And among the 30,000 Bianliang troops, there is a cavalry unit with a number of 10,000, even the cavalry troops of the three kings do not have such a number.

It's just that the Bianliang army lacks enough good generals and handsome talents, which makes the power of the Bianliang King only succumb to the three kings whose strength is not necessarily much stronger than him.

The forces of the king of Bianliang have always been friendly with the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, and when the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance sent the elite army of 1,000 people at the request of the central court, the king of Bianliang took the initiative to gather his troops, not only trying to avoid friction with the army of the Five Merchants Alliance, but even taking the initiative to give up the road from Kaifeng Mansion to Luozhou City.

Although the king of Henan was forced to fall to the central court because of the appearance of Long Wei. It's just that when Longwei withdrew his troops and returned to Luoxia Mountain in the capital of Shangzhou to live in the Dragon King Valley, the king of Henan had no threat, and some forces who did not want to see peace in Zhongzhou secretly intervened, the king of Henan actually made peace with the king of Qin and rebelled again.

And with the support of a certain force hidden behind him, the king of Henan not only obtained a large number of military funds, but also supplemented a large number of masters of the rivers and lakes into his Henan army. Although this large number of masters in the rivers and lakes are just third-rate and third-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, they have a great advantage in the face of the official army.

It is also for this reason that when the king of Henan rebelled again, the army in his hands won successive battles, and for a time there was no one at the peak.

And the king of Bianliang made peace with the central court through the relationship of the Five Shang Alliance, and it was natural that he would be hostile to the rebellious kings such as the king of Henan.

It was under this circumstance that after learning that the Five Merchants League had sent troops, King Bianliang decisively moved out of the way, allowing the Five Merchants Alliance's army to advance westward smoothly.
