System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

After leaving Wuguan, there were no setbacks along the way.

After five days, the army finally left the Qinling Mountains and arrived at the flat Nanyang Basin.

This also made Dong Yu completely understand why Liu Biao, who was from Jingchu, would spend a huge amount of money to buy war horses.

It's so peaceful, the terrain is almost the same as that in the north.

Under this kind of terrain, the army is the most important.

Ancient wars were never a contest between a single type of military force, but rather a mixed war between various military forces working together.

Under the two major branches of infantry and cavalry, there are many subcategories.

In short, the navy that came ashore, just like the northern troops that went into the water, used their own weaknesses to fight against the enemy's strengths.

"Young Master, Wancheng is twenty miles ahead. We should separate here."

"I will continue eastward and enter Yingchuan. If anything unexpected happens, I will send someone to report immediately."

Li Jue bowed and said to Dong Yu.

"Okay, I'll leave the Flying Bear Army to you for now."

Dong Yu nodded slightly and handed the command of the Feixiong Army to Li Jue.

There was no way. Li Jue was going to Yingchuan, the territory of Yuan Shu and other aristocratic families. With the Feixiong Army there, he could greatly intimidate them.

"it is good!"

"Young Master, take care. All troops, continue marching."

Li Jue did not refuse. After saying goodbye, he led the army to continue marching eastward, transporting food, supplies and war horses.

After separating from Li Jue, Dong Yu led his troops to camp nearby at Caishui Pang, only twenty miles away from Nanyang.

"Zilong, go to Wancheng and tell the local governor to inquire about Liu Biao's situation."

Dong Yu looked at Zhao Yun and gave the order.

"promise!"

Zhao Yun took the order and left without any hesitation.

Nanyang is a place that is fought over by military strategists.

Dong Zhuo also coveted Nanyang and sent Zhang Zi to serve as the prefect of Nanyang in an attempt to control the gateway to Jingzhou.

However, this unlucky guy Zhang Zi was killed by Sun Jian, who had a grudge against Dong Zhuo, not long after he took office.

After all, Nanyang is rich and is the largest county in the world. Its total population at its peak is more than that of an entire state.

It’s a pity that with the management of the prodigal Yuan Shu, the population of Nanyang County has dropped sharply.

However, the foundation is still there. Although it is not as large as the more than two million people at its peak, there are still hundreds of thousands of registered residents. If the hidden households are included, I am afraid there will be even more.

What a great place! It’s such a great place!

The population of a county is almost as large as the total population controlled by their Dong family.

Dong Yu wiped the tears from the corners of his mouth and suppressed the greed in his heart.

Now is not the time to attack Jingzhou.

The aristocratic families in Jingzhou are deeply rooted and lack ambition, but they are good at maintaining the status quo.

The top priority is to complete the transaction as soon as possible, and then plan to take over Luoyang and the entire north next year.

Wancheng

Compared to Dong Yu who needed to rush from Chang'an, Cai Mao was much faster.

When Dong Yu arrived, he had already been in Wancheng for several days and had even settled down in his house.

"It's been so many days."

"I've been waiting for it every day. Isn't it said that Cao Cao will come? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"That's right, the thief Dong I was talking about is not Brother Cao."

Cai Mao sat in the hall with an anxious look on his face.

These days he dreams of himself training cavalry.

Thousands of troops and horses, shooting arrows left and right, just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

"Report!"

"Master, a young general has arrived outside the palace, claiming to request an audience with the Nanyang Governor."

The servant walked quickly to the front hall and reported to Cai Mao with a suspicious look on his face.

"Do you think I am the governor of Nanyang?"

"Next time, remember to call me the governor, not the master. It's embarrassing."

"Bring people in."

Cai Mao glared at the servant and said unhappily.

Although the position of Nanyang prefect has not been confirmed yet, it is almost a foregone conclusion.

And Cai Mao now also regards himself as a prefect.
