Longevity Martial Arts Begins by Taking Care of the Queen

Chapter 26 The most majestic giant city
As one of the acropolis of Daqian Capital, Xuyang City has an excellent geographical location. It is on the edge of the Central Plains Basin, with Guangwu Mountain to the west, Yuanjiang River to the north, and Tu River to the south. Only the east side leading to the capital is flat. Ruchuan.

The entire Central Plains Basin exceeds 60 square kilometers. Zhengjing City is in the center of the vast Central Plains Basin. There are three gaps in the Central Plains Basin, where giant cities were built respectively. They are the last barriers to Zhengjing City, and Xuyang City is one of them.

Xuyang City is extremely large. Although it is not as big as a prefectural city, it is much larger than a county city. The city covers an area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers, with towering and majestic city walls and millions of people living there.

Because it is one of the three major cities entering the Central Plains Basin and heading to the capital, its superior geographical location makes Xuyang City extremely prosperous, even more prosperous than many state cities.

Cao Ze occupied this important military city and could advance, attack, retreat or defend.

Yuancang is not far from Yuanjiang and Xuyang City. It is the most important material storage base of the Daqian Dynasty. It contains countless grains, weapons, and equipment. Before Cao Clan's army arrived at Xuyang City, Cao Ze sent a vanguard part Taken over the barn.

This is the right given to him by Emperor Qian. With Emperor Qian's handwritten letter, the guard of Yuancang who is loyal to Emperor Qian will naturally not cause trouble.

When Cao Clan's army arrived, Cao Ze went to inspect the warehouse first and confirmed that the numerous weapons, equipment and food were there before he felt relieved.

After inspecting the barn, Cao Ze took over the military administration of Xuyang City. He had a souvenir from Emperor Qian and was a general of chariots and cavalry. Even if someone was dissatisfied, he would not dare to say anything.

Cao Ze left all the political affairs of Xuyang City to the prefect, while he was firmly in control of the military power. There must be no mistakes in this regard.

As Cao Ze had expected, there were not many garrison troops in Xuyang City, only 20. After all, this was not a war period, and having a large number of troops stationed at all times consumed astronomical amounts of supplies every day.

The garrison of Xuyang City is called the Lieyang Army. It is divided into three arms, namely 12 heavy infantry, [-] light infantry and [-] light cavalry. They are somewhat more elite than the Poxuan Army.

After these 20 troops were taken over by Cao Ze, his strength increased a lot.

On the same day, Cao Ze summoned five generals including Cao Zhengyu and Cao Yuanzhan for discussion. Also participating were Zhu Yun, the prefect of Xuyang City, and Chen Mukong, the general of Lieyang Army.

After some discussion, Cao Ze made arrangements.

40 Poxuan Army and 12 Lieyang Army light infantry were stationed outside the city, and a large camp was built at the foot of Guangwu Mountain. Thirty miles away were Yuanjiang River and Yuancang, which was guarded by [-] Euphorbia soldiers. The remaining [-] Euphorbia soldiers and [-] Lieyang Army heavy infantry and light cavalry are stationed in the Nancheng Military Camp in Xuyang City.

Cao Ze made such arrangements just in case. According to intelligence, the guards and prefects of Xuyang City are loyal to Emperor Qian, but who knows if this is true, and who knows if they will betray?
Cao Ze didn't want any accidents to happen to Yuancang and Xuyang City. If something happened to Yuancang, the morale of the army would be in chaos, and if something happened to Xuyang City, the retreat would be cut off.

With the Euphorbia warriors guarding them, everything is basically worry-free. The soldiers of the Euphorbia warriors are at least three realms, and the leaders of each group are all small masters of the eight realms. The commander is Cao Yuanzhan, a master-level expert.

One hundred thousand Euphorbia warriors can even fight against the great master of the unity of heaven and man, which is enough to protect Cao Ze's rear from any accidents.

Cao Ze's distrust made the prefect Zhu Yun and the guard Chen Mukong complain quite a bit, but they had no choice but to understand Cao Ze's difficulties and could only agree, hoping to perform well and gain Cao Ze's trust.

After doing this, Cao Ze did not rest, and rushed to Zhengjing City with a hundred thousand Earth Splitting Army. Except for the stunning guard Xue Ningmei, only his uncle Cao Zhengyu was accompanying him, 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. This organization was named Jinyiwei by Cao Ze.On the hundred-meter-high city wall, Cao Yuanzhan, Cao Feixue, Cao Xiong, the prefect, and Lieyang Army generals looked at the Earth Splitting Army flying away with different expressions.

The three Cao family members are a little worried. The situation in the capital is chaotic, Emperor Qian's camp is weak, and Cao Ze has no cultivation. Can Cao Zhengyu, a peak master, really be able to protect them comprehensively?
If something happens, how should they explain it to the head of the family?
But they couldn't object to this arrangement. Firstly, they couldn't bring too many troops to the capital, and secondly, Xuyang City and Yuancang were extremely important and had to be heavily guarded while coordinating the capital.

A touch of excitement flashed across the faces of Prefect Zhu Yun and Lieyang Army General Chen Mukong. The Chen Liucao clan was the first big force to arrive in the Emperor Qian camp, and was also the strongest support known to them. It would undoubtedly provide everyone in the Emperor Qian camp with a boost. Boosted morale.

The rumors in the capital are getting more and more intense, but they all firmly believe that these are rumors, and they are the dirty water thrown by the general and the three kings. They want to bring order to the chaos and defend the country, but they do not have the ability.

"Zhongzhou deserves to be called 'Jingzhou'. It is where the capital is located, and it is located in the vast and flat Central Plains Basin. The official roads are really domineering."

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

This time he passed through Qingzhou, Yuzhou and Shenzhou and found that the width of the official road was only 500 meters. The widest official road in Shenzhou was only 540 meters, while the official road from Xuyang City to Zhengjing City was directly over a thousand meters. This The strategic significance is great.

Xue Ningmei's delicate hand pulled open the curtain on the other side and took a look outside. Suddenly her pupils shrank and she felt a little horrified.

What Cao Ze said is true.

She thought of her hometown, Xi Chu, which was far behind the Daqian Dynasty in terms of official road construction. The official road outside the capital city of Xi Chu was only a hundred meters wide. From this point, it can be seen that the national power gap between the two countries is huge.

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

His arrangements in Xuyang City could not be hidden from others, and Cao Ze did not think of hiding it, so he openly let others know. What could the enemy do to him?
He and Xue Ningmei are both Celestial Grandmasters. It won't take long to rush back to Xuyang City from the capital. If a Celestial Grandmaster comes to cause trouble and plays into Cao Ze's favour, he won't mind using the Grandmaster's life to scare the monkeys.

When he came to Beijing this time, it seemed that he only brought a grandmaster and a hundred thousand Earth Splitting Army with him. He didn't have much support, but who knew that the real support was himself and Xue Ningmei?
If anyone really underestimates him, then Cao Ze will make the enemy suffer a big loss, otherwise he will not continue to pretend, and his strength will have been shown long ago.

Xuyang City, Yuancang and the army under his command are the confidence that Cao Ze dares to step into the capital. His own strength and Xue Ningmei are his safety guarantee, while the Divine Sword Army and the Black Dragon Rider are his trump cards.

At the critical moment, he can play these two cards and give the enemy a decisive blow.

With Xuyang City and Yuancang, even if two large legions are released, they can support their consumption, and it is not easy to detect them among the 80 troops.

When Cao Ze came back from his thoughts, Zhengjing City arrived.

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

This is the most majestic and magnificent city he has ever seen!
