Zhou Cang, the leader of the Gaoping Training Group, was the first family general to be conquered by Zhao Xing.

This Hebei man with a beard, eyes as big as a copper bell, eyebrows as thick as a broom, and a strong voice as a bell, has one of the most precious quality, that is, his absolute loyalty. Since he failed to become a Lu Ba and was fooled by Zhao Xing in a few words, he witnessed the entire process of the Taifu from the tenant farmer to the dominance of the northern land.

No one would doubt Zhou Cang's loyalty to Zhao Xing, because there is no need to doubt it.

When the news that the Taifu was surrounded by the Hu people in Kunlun Pass was sent back to Gaoping, Zhou Cang wished he could not bear wings under his ribs and flew to Dunhuang in one breath to rescue the lord. However, the order issued by Guan Yu to him was to wait patiently for the 40,000 new recruits who were re-recruited by Liang Kingdom and to replace the 30,000 reserve troops that had been systematically trained in Gaoping Training Corps, he could lead 30,000 infantrymen who had been converted into regular troops to Dunhuang.

Zhou Cang was so anxious at that time. It was not a matter of one or two days to recruit 40,000 new recruits again, but as a soldier, it was a duty to strictly implement orders, so he had to wait with a bitter face.

Half a month later, he could finally bring 30,000 soldiers who had never been to the battlefield to Dunhuang. Although he was leading a group of raw melon egg seeds that had never seen red with swords, and he might be facing a army of tens of thousands of Hu people in the Northwest, Zhou Cang was not afraid at all because he had the confidence.

Zhou Cang's confidence not only comes from the infantry equipment mass-produced by the Wohu Equipment Academy, but also from several great people who were assigned to his team as soon as they graduated from the Wohu Martial Arts Hall. Zhou Cang was fortunate to fight with one of them under Huguan.

That's right, they are Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Pang Ji and Xin Ping, among Yuan Shao's former subordinates.

It was the order of the command of the Chouhu Commander, without any reason or explanation. As graduated martial arts lecturers, Yan Liang and others were aware of the ability to execute this order meticulously, rather than bargaining or making any emotions.

After seeing Zhou Cang, Yan Liang, who had fought under Huguan in the past, was cautious and respectful to his tone and did not feel awesome because he had better force than Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang was very satisfied with these people's attitudes, so he was more confident.

The 30,000 Liangguo New Army, which had basically been assembled in the Wuwei area, had no numbers or flags, but they were energetic and rushed to Yumen Pass without hesitation. Zhou Cang, led by the army, finally felt the majesty and elegance of commanding the army alone, but there was no arrogance or domineering in his eyes except anxiety.

Zhou Cang, who was busy marching, silently recited in his heart: It has been a month since time passed, and I don’t know if the lord will create a new miracle as before? If the lord has something unexpected this time, he will take 30,000 brothers from Yumen Pass, causing a bloody storm in the Western Regions!

In fact, before Zhou Cang arrived at Kunlun Pass, a more anxious general had arrived here with only 4,000 reserve soldiers. This anxious general, to be precise, should be the prefect of Wuwei County now, he was Fang Yue.

After the Hanoi commander Fang Yue was tied back to Shangdang by Zhao Yun, he followed Zhao Xing wholeheartedly and accumulated military merits to the important position of the Canglang Army's first heavy cavalry division. Later, Zhao Xing defeated Dong Zhuo and controlled Liangzhou. Because he considered that there were many Qiang people who liked to cause rebellion in the west of Jincheng County at that time, and needed an iron-fisted prefect who knew military affairs to guard the situation, he appointed Fang Yue, Hua Weiguo and Zhao Hu as the prefects of Jincheng, Longxi and Wudu.

After Ma Teng's death, Han Sui rebelled and was eventually completely wiped out by Ma Chao's army. Later, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu encircled and suppressed the rebellious Qiang people west of Jincheng, and finally completely eliminated the hidden dangers in Liangzhou. So Fang Yue was transferred to Wuwei, who was guarding the key places in the East and West Liangzhou as the prefect. His term of office is less than one year.

Fang Yue dared to rush to Dunhuang County with only 4,000 reserve troops, mainly because he had a nearly blind trust in Zhao Xing. According to what Liu Jili said when he passed by, Zhao Xing had three thousand cavalry under him, which was enough to deal with the Hu people for a period of time. Although the 4,000 reserve troops he led were insufficient in combat power, once handed over to Zhao Xing, he could play an extraordinary role.

As long as there are troops mixed with seven thousand infantry and cavalry to station Kunlun Pass, even if they face more than 50,000 Hu people, Fang Yue believes that with Zhao Xing's ability, it will be enough to withstand the arrival of a large number of reinforcements in the future.

However, Fang Yue miscalculated this time! When he arrived at Kunlun Pass, he found that people had already gone to the air to block the sky, leaving only a tragic scene after the fierce battle, and Zhao Xing, who was like a god of war in his mind, disappeared.

Fang Yue then continued to urge the troops to rush towards Dunhuang City fifty miles away. When he arrived here panting, he saw an even more amazing scene - Dunhuang City, which was originally extremely lively due to reconstruction, is now full of devastation, and there is no living person in the city. To be precise, there is no one! Each large warehouse that originally stored military supplies was opened with four doors, and it was as clean as if someone had licked it with his tongue.

Seeing this scene in Dunhuang City, Fang Yue, who had already left a glimmer of hope, sat down on the ground in dishearteningly, and actually covered her face and started crying "whimper".

"Lord, why are you gone? Where do you ask me to find you?" Fang Yue, heartbroken, became more and more sad as she cried. In the end, she almost burst into tears.

After crying, Fang Yue wiped away his tears and said to the four thousand soldiers under his hands with red eyes: "The lord must be fine. He is the true emperor who came to the world to save the great man! The Hu people must have heard of the deeds of his lord's wise and Shenwu, so they brought the lord back to the Western Regions, hoping that the lord can save them together! We are now guarding Dunhuang and Yumen Pass, waiting for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements, and then we will enter the Western Regions together and rob the lord back!"

After a while, Zhou Cang, who looked anxious, finally arrived at Kunlunsai. Then he saw the same picture as Fang Yue saw at that time, and then made the same judgment as Fang Yue, and came towards Yumen Pass like crazy.

After seeing Fang Yue, Zhou Cang rushed up and clamped Fang Yue's arms like iron pliers, and then asked nervously: "Lao Fang, where is the lord?"

Fang Yue seemed to have forgotten that he was numb from being slinged by Zhou Cang, and replied in a bit of a slight silence: "I rushed here all the way, but I didn't see a living person. I don't know where the lord has gone."

"It must have been kidnapped by the Hu people! I'll take people to chase after me!" Zhou Cang left Fang Yue, and without saying a word, he led people out of Yumen Pass.

Zhou Cang rushed out of Yumen Pass in anger and did not come back for a long time. The 30,000 Xinjun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others who followed him, returned to the Central Plains many years later...

Not long after, news leaked from Yumen Pass that Zhao Xing had been captured by the Hu people and his family general Zhou Cang led 30,000 new troops out of the pass to rescue him again, but was ambushed by the coalition forces of the 36 countries in the Western Regions and the entire army was destroyed.

The people from all over the Han Dynasty couldn't help but ask in their hearts: What's wrong with the Jin army, which has always been invincible and has been attacking all the time? After defeating again and again, is it really at the end of the road? ~
