To say that He Lian is not the one who likes to talk about ostentation in Liu Cang's family, well, it seems that He Lian is not a member of Liu Cang's family.

In short, as the former Princess of Parthia, Roxana likes to show off her pomp and show, and her dedication to this aspect is even greater than that of Queen Mother Helian.

Roxana's tens of thousands of immortal troops were personally commanded and trained by her, and she was in charge of the Queen Mother's decree. Their main task was to maintain the security of the Han Dynasty's trade routes.

Regardless of whether it is Jiaozhou or Liangzhou and Youzhou, if bandits rob a caravan, Roxana may lead her troops to attack and investigate and suppress them.

Having said that, in fact, Roxana's Immortal Army has been training more in Luoyang in the past two years. The essence of this Immortal Army is that she helped her son train, mainly to allow her son to return to Anxi and become the King of Kings.

prepare.

Liu Cang let her go through this army. After two years of training, Liu Cang did not have any extra tiger or bear meat to provide her. Even lizards, pythons and crocodiles had to be supplied by the Eighth Hussars Battalion first.

Seeing that the physical growth of the Immortal Army had stagnated, Roxana planned to make the name of Hulao more worthy of its name, and asked Liu Cang to request the mountains in the eastern section of Hulao Pass as a place to trap tigers.

Tiger dens, tiger nests, iron prisons and other facilities for trapping tigers were built by her. In the mountains around Luoyang, Hussar troops often hunted tigers and bears. There were no tigers in the prisons. No, Roxana led her immortal army all the way north.

, preparing to go to the Wuhuan Mountain area in Liaodong to hunt animals.

Roxana talked about the scene. The cavalry, infantry, and chariots were all in the army. An army of soldiers with ghost faces on their heads and their whole bodies shrouded in black cloaks appeared on the Xuzhou battlefield in a mighty manner.

Regardless of cavalry or infantry, the black cloak covered the whole body, making it impossible to distinguish the soldiers' combat readiness. Well, Liu Cang's cloak was just a random piece from the Changsheng Army.

The black and roaring army seems a bit pretentious, but the weapons are all sophisticated. And the ten war elephants and hundreds of lions leading the way make people dare not say they are pretentious.

The largest bull elephant was first equipped with a gorgeous armored stomach.

As Roxana's mount, it is covered by gauze curtains and carries a cabin-like sedan on its back, decorated with jade jewelry. Roxana's mount is definitely not for fighting, it is purely for show.

Over the years, the male lion's "perm" has really been ignored by Liu Cang. But after being tricked by Roxana, it finally ushered in a relatively normal lion life.

Roxana equipped it with a pride of lions. In Liu Cang's opinion, the only value of these relatively useless lions was still their pretentiousness.

Elephants are walking, lions are roaming, and the Immortal Army, which has a comprehensive array of arms, suddenly appears near Tancheng.

A trombone about five meters long was carried on the shoulders by three people. Amidst the sound of the trombone, the cavalry rushed out and shouted to Cao Jun to give way.

There was a black line on Cao Cao's forehead, but the black cloak made Cao Cao unable to determine the combat readiness of this army. The team carrying crossbows in the Changsheng Army also prevented Cao Cao from letting his soldiers spread a wave of attacks on the Changsheng Army.

Rain of arrows.

The cavalry army had already reported its number, and Cao Cao also knew that this was the army led by Liu Cang's concubine. Although he was unhappy, he secretly thought that he should give Liu Cang face, and ordered the army to give way, so that this army, which wanted to go sideways, would

The army marched through the army.

Cao Cao ignored Roxana. Logically speaking, with Boss Cao's quality, he should say hello to Roxana.

Unfortunately, Roxana was sitting too high, and she seemed to have no intention of getting off the elephant. Boss Cao didn't want to raise his head to greet her, but pretended not to see Roxana, hoping that she would pull the army away quickly.

"But General Dian is here?" Roxana seemed to be coming towards Dian Wei, crossing Cao Jun and shouting towards where Dian Wei was from a distance.

The sound was cold and sweet, and the sunlight reflected the hazy and graceful figure through the gauze curtain. Cao Cao looked into the distance and felt a different charm, and his heart felt inexplicably.

"The animal control in Xuzhou has been completed, and Kang Chenggong calculated that there may be a locust drought in Jizhou. An order from the palace was passed, and Dian Wei was ordered. Xu Qun led a thousand giant lizards and led his troops to temporarily station in Wuji, Zhongshan. If there is a locust plague, wolverine giant lizards will be sent to Jizhou.

Cure it.”

As Dian Wei approached, Roxana explained to Dian Wei without any hesitation. The sedan tower on the elephant's back seemed to have a loudspeaker function. When Cao Cao heard it in the distance, he couldn't help but shrink his voice.

Kang Chenggong was Zheng Xuan. Zheng Xuan, a great scholar, was very good at arithmetic. The arithmetic of this era was different from the simple arithmetic understood by later generations. It itself was related to many technical and academic applications.

Zheng Xuan's arithmetic tended to focus on astronomy, meteorology, wind direction, etc., and used changes in some meteorology and wind direction to predict natural disasters based on past calendar events.

Well, in later generations it probably belongs to a kind of feudal superstition, right? To put it mildly, it’s called Fang Shu.

There is nothing wrong with Zheng Xuan predicting that there will be a locust plague in Jizhou, and there is nothing wrong with Liu Cang sending people to control the locust plague. This is not the first time Liu Cang has done this kind of thing in recent years.

But the problem is that two battalions of fierce soldiers were sent directly to Jizhou, especially since Cao Cao also knew that Yuan Shao seemed to have the intention to take advantage of the Wuji Zhen family.

And what is the status of this army, the so-called Immortal Army?

There were cavalry formations, spear formations, crossbow formations, chariots, war elephants, and even at least a hundred eight-bed crossbows carried by four people.

This group of people are also going to Jizhou? They may be able to attack the city directly. Are you sure you are going to prevent locusts?

"Ahem, this...general, I wonder where the general's army is going?" Cao Cao couldn't hold himself back, and looked at a scribe beside him. The scribe rode his horse and came close to the war elephant. He was very magnanimous and was not afraid of the people around the war elephant.

The lions raised their voices and asked Roxana high up.

Now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are closely related. Gongsun Zan of Liaodong suppressed Liu Yu but set up a layout in Qingzhou, judging by his actions, which shows that Gongsun Zan is quite ambitious.

If Yuan Shao fails, his Yanzhou may not be safe in the so-called overthrow. Now that Xuzhou has not been captured, Cao Cao is really afraid that Liu Cang will be unhappy for a while and join forces with Gongsun Zan to overthrow Yuan Shao.

After all, Cao Cao knew very well that Liu Cang didn't like the Runan family very much.

"Well? Are you a subordinate of Cao Cao?" Roxana's voice came. As she spoke, she opened the gauze curtain, and the alien appearance made the scribe who came forward have obvious surprise on his face.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Are you Xi Zhicai or Cheng Yu?" Roxana frowned and looked at the scribe, then looked at Cao Cao, who was under Shuai's banner in the distance. Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and put his horse forward.

The scribe had already chuckled.

"Yingchuan Xi Zhicai, I don't know... why are you asking someone?" Roxana's words were not polite. Seeing Roxana's appearance clearly, Xi Zhicai also looked down upon her, with a little arrogance in her expression.

The outside world knows that Liu Cang has several internal assistants.

Cai Yan, Cai Yong's daughter, commanded Liu Cang's ace Flying Bear. In a battle in the desert, he defeated the many with less, and set up a formation that ruined the fate of the Southern Huns.

Zhang Feng's daughter, Zhang Xiuniang, single-handedly established Lubei Tianlu to rescue the wounded and build up the strength of the Han Dynasty, which also attracted the respect and disgust of all the princes.

Including Bian Ji, who was the first to accompany Liu Cang to fight against the Yellow Turbans, and who had handled Shanglin matters for Liu Cang for many years.

These women are admired or fascinated by them even if they are talented actors.

However, a foreign woman does not know etiquette and is arrogant in front of others. Xi Zhicai is also a proud and arrogant person. She is disdainful and does not hide her expression.

"Haha, I wonder where Madam is going? Is it offensive to Zhicai?" Seeing the difference in the situation, Cao Cao laughed and answered, not caring about his face at this time, for fear that Zhicai would be offended.

Cao Cao didn't know much about Roxana's situation, but Liu Cang's mother-in-law, as long as Cai Yan was away, it would be right to call her his wife.

"My name is Chongcheng. General Cao can call me 'Mrs. Alien'. I want to go to Liaodong to hunt animals." Roxana responded to Cao Cao, her arrogance seemed to be deep in her bones, and she didn't care about other people's senses. She lowered the gauze curtain and her voice came out again.

"As for this short-lived ghost, His Highness has something to say. If General Cao doesn't want him to die young, he should be sent to Changsheng Ridge for medical treatment and recuperation." When Roxana said this, Cao Cao's face suddenly changed.

Cao Cao was shocked and looked at Xi Zhicai worriedly.

Xi Zhi was angry, his face flushed, and he pointed his sword at Roxana behind the gauze curtain.

"You..." Xi Zhicai reprimanded angrily, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Roxana.

"March." Roxana ordered, the elephants marched, and the soldiers moved together. Although it was still impossible to confirm the combat readiness of this army, the movement of the army formation was rigorous, but it was also clear that it was an elite force.

"This girl...this girl is rude!" Looking at the back of the war elephant, Xi Zhicai shook his sleeves angrily.

Liu Cang was good at recuperation, and he had talented doctors under his command. There was no need for him to tease Xi Zhicai. Roxana called Xi Zhicai a short-lived ghost. Cao Cao no longer wanted to pay attention to Roxana, but he looked worried.

Xi Zhi just looked at it for a while.

"Sigh~ I don't know how powerful this army is. If what this woman says is true, I'm afraid the Wuhuan clan will be in trouble. My lord, let's put the trivial matters aside for now. We should put the war in Xuzhou first."

Having a tacit understanding with Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai naturally understood Cao Cao's worries, and when he sighed, he distracted Cao Cao's attention.

"Woo~~~" The elephant chirped far away, and Dianwei and Roxana went their separate ways.

After all the idlers dispersed, there were no more attackers and defenders left on the Tancheng battlefield. After an unknown amount of time, military orders conveyed a barbaric atmosphere over the battlefield, with both sides throwing stones and twisting their arms, and military drums were beating.

The torch stone cuts through the sky, and the war begins.

Tancheng has high walls and thick walls, and throwing stones from the city has an advantage in range. Cao Jun rushed with chariots and ladders to attack the city, and arrows rained down on the city.

Roaring filial piety, shouting for killing, crying for blood, crying for sorrow.

War, after all, is still war.

The princes take people's lives lightly, but they are not politicians who talk and laugh.

This is the fate of the battlefield that no one can stop. After the smoke, there will be blood.

Nobility? What is nobility? Banquets with beauties? Red tape? Playing with power and confusing people?

At this time, nobles all use violence to show their nobility! Only violence can show their nobility!
