The next morning, Jiang Chen gathered his troops and set off from the Western Liang Spiritual State.
Under the scorching sun, flags fluttered in the air.
Ten thousand black armored cavalry neatly formed into five columns and marched towards the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, Luoyang.
They were all dressed in black armor, black horses, crossbows on their backs, and scimitars on their waists.
The entire troop was well-disciplined and filled with killing intent, causing one to shudder in fear!
Jiang Chen walked at the front of the group. He wore dark silver armor and held the Overlord Halberd in his hand. He looked majestic and extraordinary.
Beside him was a frail middle-aged Confucian scholar. He was his chief strategist, Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe.
The distance from Western Liang's Spiritual State to the capital of the Great Han Dynasty was nearly 1,000 kilometers.
If it were infantrymen, it might not even take a month to arrive.
The speed of the cavalry was obviously much faster, but even if they rode fast horses, it would take at least eight to nine days to travel.
Liangzhou was flat and vast, which was good for cavalry. In less than a day, Jiang Chen arrived at Qingyang City.
Qingyang City was located in the middle of Liangzhou. It would take another day to leave Liangzhou and enter Sizhou.
However, it was getting late. Jiang Chen ordered the army to rest outside the city while he brought two guards to the local government office.
The large red door of the mansion had a copper nail the size of a teacup shining on it.
Two majestic lions were placed on both sides of the door.
Jiang Chen walked straight to the front door of the government office. The guards guarding the door were mostly quick-witted.
Seeing that the person who came had an extraordinary appearance and was wearing armor, he naturally did not dare to act rashly. He only asked softly,"General, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Chen did not answer, but a black armored cavalryman beside him said arrogantly,"Quickly inform the county magistrate that the general of the West Middle School of the Spiritual State is here!”
" Spiritual State…General of the West!" The guard raised his head slightly and took a deep look at the young general in dark silver armor. He immediately lowered his head and said with a panicked expression,"I'll go and report it now!"
He bowed slightly and bowed with both hands in front of his chest. Then, he immediately turned around and ran into the manor.
However, he did not expect to trip over the threshold of the door as soon as he turned around.
Jiang Chen's expression did not change. He looked around casually, as if he did not notice the awkward situation of the guard at all.
The two black-armored cavalrymen beside him did not bother to hide their laughter. If it were not for Jiang Chen standing in front of them, they would have laughed out loud.
The guard turned around and laughed awkwardly. He stood up and continued to run into the manor.
Not long after, he shouted,"My lord, my lord!"
"General Xizhong is here!"
"General Xizhong is here!"
In Western Liang, the title of General of the West Middle School of the Spiritual State had such a magical power. Almost all the corrupt officials feared him like tigers, while the common people admired him greatly.
They all said that General Xizhong was not only good at fighting, but he also loved the people like his own children and never bullied them.
This was the polar opposite of Dong Zhuo's extravagance and cruelty.
If not for the fact that they could not move freely due to their household registration and that Jiang Chen's territory could not accommodate so many people, they would have all gone to Jiang Chen's place long ago.
Jiang Chen stood in the middle with two guards standing on his left and right.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a bloated body and a fat face ran out in a panic.
Behind him was a young man in black.
The black-robed youth looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he looked dignified and sharp. Even Jiang Chen couldn't help but take a second look at him.
"General, I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I wonder why you're here?”The fat official was dressed roughly and had a flattering smile on his face as he bowed.
The youth in black also cupped his fists and secretly sized up Jiang Chen with curious eyes.
Jiang Chen didn't even bat an eyelid." You're the county magistrate?”
"I am the county magistrate." The fat official, who was also the county magistrate, said.
"I led the army through this place and wanted to rest for a night.”Jiang Chen said calmly.
As expected of someone who had been in the officialdom for many years, the county magistrate immediately understood the meaning behind it.
"I will arrange it immediately."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly and smiled faintly.
"Someone come!" The county deputy turned around and faced the two guards behind him. He immediately put away his previous flattery and took out his dignity as a county deputy."Pass down the order to immediately prepare good wine and delicacies and send them out of the city. Don't..."
"There's no need for good wine. It's not advisable to drink during the march.”Jiang Chen interrupted him and said indifferently.
The county deputy turned around and smiled obsequiously.""Yes."
Then, he turned around and put on a serious face." Did you all hear that? Hurry up and do it. There can't be any mistakes!"
"Yes!" The two guards cupped their fists.
After the two guards left, the county magistrate turned around and said with a smile,"General, do you have any other instructions?”
"No, you did well!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and left.
"General! General!" The county magistrate shouted from behind," It's getting late. Let's go to the residence and rest for the night!”
Jiang Chen ignored him and continued to walk toward the place where the cavalry was stationed outside the city.
"This subordinate respectfully sends off General!"
The county magistrate bowed and only raised his head when Jiang Chen was gradually walking away.
He exhaled heavily and sat on the ground."He's finally gone!"
The youth in black beside him glanced coldly at the county magistrate sitting on the ground. His eyes were filled with disdain, and then he looked at Jiang Chen's back as he walked away.
His surname was Zhang, and his name was Xiu.
He was the son of the Zhang family of Wuwei Prefecture.
He was young and intelligent, especially fond of spearmen. Naturally, he had heard of the name of General of the West.
Jiang Chen was only two or three years older than him, but he had already made such a big name for himself, especially the records of his battles with the foreign races. He had killed Beigong Boyu, driven Ma Teng to the frontier, and yesterday, there was news that Han Sui's head had been hung on the city gate of the Spiritual State.
The Qiang people outside the border had always been a hidden danger in Liangzhou. The imperial court had also sent troops to attack them.
But whether it was the famous general of Great Han, Huang Pu Song, or the governor of Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo, they all ended in failure.
However, Jiang Chen had only been here for a year, and the invasion of the foreign tribes that had plagued Liangzhou for many years had been resolved so easily.
This was simply too unbelievable!
Zhang Xiu had lived in Liangzhou since he was young and knew the dangers of an invasion from an outsider. Therefore, the person he admired the most in Jiang Chen's heart was indeed worthy of his reputation.
With just a move of his mouth, the usually domineering county magistrate panicked.
The aura he displayed and the power of his every move was something Zhang Xiu had never seen before.
" General of the West…" Zhang Xiu muttered to himself. His gaze gradually became firm.
"This is a true man of indomitable spirit. I will be like this in the future!”
