Chapter 666: Ignite the Enthusiasm of Players

Pang Tong's words made Gongsun Zan's eyes light up. Yes, if it succeeds, it will definitely be good for him. If it fails, he will not lose anything. It just makes him waste his brain. So, he happily bowed to Pang Tong again and said, "Mr.'s words have opened my eyes!"

After saying that, he did not care that there were outsiders such as Huangfu Chaobo, and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss the method Pang Tong said. During this period, Gongsun Yue came over from time to time to ask Pang Tong and Huangfu Chaobo some questions.

After more than an hour of discussion, Gongsun Zan finally decided to try the plan Pang Tong said. As for what they wanted to control, it must be the route from Lulong Fortress all the way north through Pingquan to Chifeng.

According to their discussion, Chifeng (after Huangfu Chaobo's suggestion, the destination Xianbei camp was named Chifeng.) will build a middle city and arrange 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers for defense, and all the way south to Lulong Fortress, several large and medium-sized towns will be built between Pingcheng and Chifeng to maintain the connection between Chifeng and Lulong Fortress.

As for the other places suitable for building cities, such as Lingyuan, Jianping, Ningcheng, and the location of Yuanbaoshan District in Chifeng City in the future, they will be handed over to the alien forces to build cities. Then, Gongsun Zan will use these cities as support to continuously infiltrate deep into the grassland. Now Gongsun Zan has been moved by the beautiful scenery of step by step and continuous expansion of territory described by Pang Tong.

In the following days, players continued to lead their cavalry to come. By the 25th, almost all the player cavalry from Youbeiping and Liaoxi counties who could come had arrived.

Gongsun Zan called a group of players to discuss matters. The players felt that Gongsun Zan's move was a bit puzzling. You know, Gongsun Zan's attitude towards players is to directly issue tasks, and he has never had the habit of calling players to discuss matters before the war.

However, what happened next was unexpected to the players. Gongsun Zan was not thinking about making a fortune from the grassland, but was preparing to build a city on the grassland, and was willing to give some places on the grassland suitable for building a city to the players to build a city.

This news instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the players. You know, the players in Youzhou have always been eyeing the grassland, but they have suffered from the lack of good supply points. Now Gongsun Zan is willing to give some places on the grassland suitable for building a city to the players. For the players, this is undoubtedly great news.

Gongsun Yue, who announced the decision, was instantly surrounded by questions from the players. Seeing the reaction of the stranger, Gongsun Zan was also very excited. He did not expect that Pang Tong's method was actually successful.

Afterwards, Gongsun Yue announced the plan that he had prepared to the players. No one objected to Gongsun Zan's plan. Instead, they approved of it. No one thought that Gongsun Zan would give these places to players for free. It was right to bid for them.

After listening to Gongsun Yue's plan, a group of players said that they asked the army to wait for a few more days. They should be able to gather some cavalry in their own territories. In order to get enough merits in the subsequent wars, the players took out their own assets. In the following days, more than 5,000 cavalry rushed to the Lulong Fortress to participate in this war.

On March 1, 193, General Gongsun Zan of the White Horse dispatched 6,000 White Horse Yicong (elite thousand cavalry as Gongsun Zan's personal guards), 20,000 ordinary cavalry, several generals, and 14,000 cavalry of General Pingdong Huangfu Chao and 20,000 cavalry of Yiren from Youbeiping and Liaoxi counties, totaling nearly 60,000 cavalry to the Eastern Xianbei.

Two days later, the army passed through the mountains and entered Pingquan. Gongsun Zan left a cavalry to wait for the city-building infantry and craftsmen sent from Lulong Fortress, and then led the army to continue northward, heading towards the set goal.

Although Pingquan is nearly 200 miles away from Lulong Fortress, there are basically no foreign tribes stationed here, but this is the only way for foreign tribe cavalry to go south,

so Gongsun Zan must guard this back road well.

The army continued to move northward, and more than 100 miles to the north, another tributary of the Laoha River merged with the mainstream here. The confluence of the two rivers formed an area with abundant water and grass, which was called Xiaoheyan.

At this point, the Laoha River went northeast, and along the river for nearly 100 miles, it reached Ningcheng County behind. This is also a place with abundant water and grass, which is many times better than Xiaoheyan, so here, a Xianbei tribe of nearly 10,000 people gathered.

And continue to move north along the stream, go around the west of Yuanbao Mountain, and then go north all the way, there are more and more large and small tribal gathering points. However, along the way, Huangfu Chaobo's army basically did not take any action.

Just let Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong and Hu Yandu's cavalry far away to intercept the Xianbei cavalry escaping from the battlefield, and Huangfu Chaobo led his more than 3,000 guards to follow Gongsun Zan. As for the main battle troops on the battlefield, they are basically the players' 20,000 troops, and even Gongsun Zan's 20,000 ordinary cavalry are assisting them in the battle.

With the assistance of tens of thousands of official cavalry, plus the players are holding their breath and want to get enough merits on the battlefield, so they are also very hard to attack these small tribes.

Huangfu Chaobo was also happy to be free. After all, he was only here to help, not to fight for his life. There was no need to work hard. And he also knew that the current wars were just appetizers before the big meal. The real war would not start until they reached the gathering point of the medium-sized tribe near Chifeng.

In this way, tens of thousands of troops swept all the way from the south and gradually approached the destination. Because the army had always blocked all the Xianbei gathering points with battlefields, when the army reached a distance of fifty miles south of Chifeng five days later, the Xianbei people discovered the traces of the army.

On March 10, the army finally arrived ten miles outside the Xianbei camp. At this time, the Xianbei camp was already in chaos. The sound of horns sounded one after another in almost every corner of the camp. The sudden appearance of tens of thousands of Han troops made the Xianbei panic.

This is the largest tribal camp left by Suli in the north of Youzhou. Its purpose is to control this fertile grassland and prepare for the southward march this autumn.

But what they didn't expect was that their army was not yet ready, and the Han cavalry had already arrived at their doorstep.
