After all, Zhao Guang has finally been recognized by the "Late Emperor's Chief Cavalry" and is no longer a shame to the Zhao family. If he can't lead the cavalry battalion, then no one else can.

"This time our troops are leaving Xiao Pass. There is Yueshi City in front of Xiao Pass. Have you forgotten how you lost the general number in the first place?"

Zhao Guang was so shocked by his brother's critical blow that he grunted, not daring to brag anymore.

After inspecting the camp, Feng Yong took the lead up to the watchtower.

Not only can you overlook the entire cavalry camp from the tower, you can even see part of the layout of the rebel army not far away.

Seeing Feng Yong's eyes falling there, Mr. Erlang of the Zhao family, who thought he had been silent for a long time, finally broke the news:

"Brother, will the volunteers recruited this time be too many?"

"What do you know? It makes sense for me to do this."

Feng Yong turned his gaze back from there, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The big commotion in the Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion made many interested people feel that this time's Eastern Expedition would not be as simple as the previous ones.

In the past two years, we have been protecting the Qiang army, conquering the east and west, pacifying the Huan people, and conquering Liangzhou. Although there has been no major battle, small battles have never stopped.

Especially after the capture of Jincheng and Xiping counties, the Qiang Protectorate Office began to have formal contact with the Hu people in the northern grasslands.

The original military establishment restrictions were no longer sufficient to adapt to the current situation. After Zhang Xingyi officially took office as the chief secretary, he secured an opportunity for the expansion of the Qiang Guards Office.

The official establishment of the army was expanded from the original 10,000 to 20,000.

The Longyou Dudufu, which is nominally one level higher than the Huqiang Xiaowei's Mansion, only has a quota of 30,000 soldiers.

In addition to the 50,000 men in Hanzhong, most of the Han forces were on the front line of the battle with Cao Wei.

This time, Hanzhong was in a cautious defensive state due to the arrival of the Emperor of Han Dynasty.

The Longyou Governor's Mansion must not only defend the four counties of Liangzhou in the west, but also prevent the Cao thieves in the east from crossing Longshan. At the same time, it must go south to reinforce Hanzhong at any time, and it cannot move lightly.

Therefore, in this battle, the Protector Qiang School Lieutenant's Mansion was a strategic mobile force with a heavy responsibility.

Feng Yong understood this truth very well, and this time he used almost all the military power at hand to attack.

At the same time, they greatly expanded the servant army and drained as many young men as possible from the Hu tribe.

After all, the Hu people in Liangzhou have a long tradition of rebellion, and they have just been tamed a little in the past two years.

Who knows if there was no strong pressure from the Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion, someone would come up with something evil?

When traveling in the world, safety comes first.

Dear Huren Dawari, the time has come to show your loyalty to the great man!

Follow me into the battle to kill the thieves, and I will give you a green card when I come back!

In early September of the eighth year of Jianxing, Feng Yong, the Han Qiang guard captain, led tens of thousands of troops and prepared to cross Longshan and reach Xiaoguan.
