Jiaodong Road is located to the south of Tianning Road, connecting the northern border and Ningwang jurisdiction to the north, with the vast sea on the east side.

In terms of geographical location alone, Jiaodong Road can be regarded as the easternmost side of the entire dynasty's territory.

The territory of Jiaodong Road is not very vast. Within its jurisdiction are the three counties of Jiaozhou, Changqu and Linqiu, with a total of more than fifty cities and a small population.

Jiaodong Road has always been an inconspicuous Taoist mansion in the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.

After all, geographically speaking, it is neither close to the capital nor under the jurisdiction of Prince Ning, so no one cares or loves it.

Moreover, the business of merchants is not prosperous. Most of the people here make a living by farming and fishing. Many people also plant crops such as flax in exchange for daily expenses.

Barbarians from outside the Pass cannot invade here. The battles and wars in the Central Plains and Jiangnan also have nothing to do with this place. The people of Jiaodong Road are also happy to live such a peaceful life.

Although a bit poor, it is peaceful.

But over the past month, Jiaodong Road has become no longer peaceful.

The news of King Ning's revolt was the first to hit Jiaodong Road. People all over the road were in panic, not knowing whether it was the Zhou Dynasty or the Long Dynasty that was better.

They just hope not to be caught as young men, and whoever rules Jiaodong Road has nothing to do with them.

After King Ning raised his army, the Chang family's frontier troops launched a massive attack from the north. Many soldiers and horses were also continuously mobilized from the capital, and the war was imminent.

The days of peace and tranquility on Jiaodong Road are gone forever.

…

Jiaodong Road, Changquguan

More than a dozen cities to the north of Changqu have been captured by the Ning army, and now tens of thousands of Ning troops have penetrated deep into Jiaodong Road.

The defenders of Jiaodong Road were no match for the Ning army. They retreated steadily and lost their city and territory.

Had it not been for the great uncle Dugu Xin who led his troops to the front line in time and stabilized the situation, the entire Jiaodong Road would have been lost.

On top of the city, Dugu Xin leaned lightly against the city wall and looked at the vast military formation in the distance.

There is the Ning Army's large formation, and today is the first time that the two sides really get ready for battle.

Outside the city wall was the tens of thousands of Longxi troops brought by Dugu Xin, and the flags flying all over the sky were extremely spectacular.

It was mid-April, the weather was already a bit hot, and you could see a little sweat on the foreheads of a few soldiers.

Since Duguxin arrived at the front line, the armies of both sides have fought many times, with each winning and losing, but these were just small fights involving more than a thousand people.

Today's war was initiated by Dugu Xin on his own initiative, and the letter of war was sent to Chang Hantang's desk.

Duguxin, who was in his prime, chuckled and said:

"After all, they are the border troops of the Chang family. Their momentum is much stronger than that of the Central Plains army~"

Going all the way north from Longxi Road, Duguxin originally thought that the opponent of the Longxi Army would be the Liang Army, but he did not expect that now he would face the Chang family first.

The military commander next to him said softly:

"Judging from the scale of the formation, they dispatched about 40,000 to 50,000 troops today, which is roughly the same as our strength.

But the other side seems to have more cavalry than we do."

Duguxin waved his hand casually: "The frontier army is mainly composed of cavalry. It doesn't matter if we have our backs to the fortified city."

The troops Duguxin brought from Longxi were not many, only fifty thousand. The rest were officers and soldiers recruited locally from Jiaodong Road.

In a place like Jiaodong Road where there had been no war in the past, the total number of garrison troops was only 20,000. It was only through continuous recruitment in the past few months that the number of troops reached about 40,000.

In Duguxin's opinion, these 40,000 people were of little use, and only 50,000 Longxi troops could fight against the Chang family army.

Duguxin stretched his waist and said:

"Are you sure? Chang Hantang is in the army today?"

"Um!"

First post: Tower.Read~Little

The deputy general nodded affirmatively and said: "If there is an official named An Guogong in the army, it must be Chang Hantang himself."

"good."

Duguxin smiled slightly: "Send someone to the front of the battle to ask Chang Hantang to meet him. I'm afraid the old general still doesn't know I'm here~"

"promise!"

…

Across the vast plains, nearly 100,000 troops faced each other from a distance, and the world was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

The Long army has its back against the city wall, all wearing light red military uniforms. This is the new armor that the Long Dynasty has just begun to replace for the whole army. At first glance, it looks like a red tide~

The military flags with the word "Long" in the army were fluttering in the wind, which was quite impressive.

Opposite the formation is the Ning army heading south into the Central Plains.

It should be noted that the Chang family's frontier army is not the entire Ning army. The Chang family supported the young Zhou Bao to ascend to the throne of Ning King, so the army naturally had more garrison troops on Tianning Road and recruited soldiers from various places.

It was impossible for all of the Chang family's 200,000 troops to go south to the Central Plains, and a full 100,000 soldiers stayed at the border.

The Ning army mostly uses yellow as the main color of their uniforms, but there are many soldiers in light blue armor among the army. These are the elite Chang family cavalry.

Although these armies were nominally headed by Prince Ning, it was the Chang family who really held military power.

In the Ning army formation, the old man Chang Hantang was sitting on the general platform.

The old man who spent half his life in the military did not wear any armor, but wore a simple plain robe, and his snow-white beard floated slightly in the air. He looked just like the old man next door.

The younger generation of the Chang family has grown up, and there is no need for the elderly to wear armor in battle anymore.

A pair of old eyes slowly swept in front of the enemy formation, and the old man murmured softly:

"The Longxi army can actually train so rigorously. I really don't know who the leading general is~"

Before, they had always encountered local soldiers from Jiaodong Road, who were simply vulnerable.

On the first day the Longxi Army arrived at the front line, they realized that reinforcements were coming because they heard their Longxi accent during several small-scale contact battles.

Unfortunately, the Chang family never found out who the leading general on the opposite side was, and Dugu Xin seemed to be deliberately hiding his arrival.

Chang Huaiyi stood beside his grandfather wearing armor with a calm expression. Years of training in the war had made this young man more mature.

After taking a look at the military formation opposite, Chang Huaiyi said with fighting spirit:

"I don't know whether the Longxi Army is stronger or weaker than our Pinghan Road border army."

"Haha~"

The old man smiled lightly: "You'll find out later~"

"Da da da~"

The sound of horse hooves gradually sounded, and several cavalrymen from the opposite military formation ran over quickly, holding a white flag high in their hands.

Naturally, they were envoys from the formation, so the Ning army did not shoot them into a hornet's nest.

Under close surveillance, the Long Army cavalry arrived in front of the general platform. The strong man at the head cupped his fists and shouted:

ID card-563743675

"Commander of our army, please come to the front of the formation to speak with Duke An Guo!"

Chang Hantang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked lightly:

"Who is your general?"

"My father-in-law's old friend!"

"Old friend?" Chang Hantang frowned slightly. He had countless old friends in the court, but it seemed that not many of them had the ability to lead troops and were deeply trusted by the Yuwen family.

Who is it?

Could it be that Yuwen Chenghua came secretly from Longxi?

Chang Huaiyi reminded with some worry: "Grandpa, be careful of falling into their scheme~"

After thinking for a moment, Chang Hantang said coldly:

"See!"
