The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

These 60 troops are based on localities, and each locality has two to five battalions. Each battalion has more than 2 soldiers. It is the main force of Cao Cao's army and can be called "elite".

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to have only these 60 troops under such tyranny.

The 60 troops are the "Main Battle Corps" formed on the basis of excluding the local defenders.

In other words, the 60 troops can be mobilized at will, so that the local guards will not be trapped in the embarrassment of being unable to function, that is, an army that can be used for battle at any time.

If all the soldiers of the imperial court were included, the number should exceed one million, but unfortunately, among them, more than [-] soldiers belonged to the guard army, guarding the land of the four states.

They are distributed in large and small cities and frontier fortresses under Cao Cao's rule. They are responsible for local security, robbery, city gate closing and opening, etc., and they will hardly be mobilized under normal circumstances.

Of course, the reason why Cao Cao's main battle corps is also stationed separately is because they also usually farm.

During busy farming seasons, the main combat corps needed help, and as for the maintenance of the usual crops, it was left to the defenders.

Due to the high yield of grain, Cao Cao did not have to worry about the shortage of grain.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao especially thanked Liu Ke. If Yangzhou hadn't promoted new types of food such as corn and sweet potatoes, it would have been impossible for Cao Cao to raise so many people.

Considering the surrounding situation, there are only [-] military camps stationed in the suburbs of Chang'an, and only [-] in Xuchang, the nominal capital of the Han Dynasty.

Compared with Yangzhou's [-] troops stationed in Runan, Xuchang is in danger.

But Cao Cao didn't care anymore. The Han Dynasty was in a small state, and its influence has been getting smaller and smaller over the years.

Emperor Xian is not worth mentioning.

If he can attract Yangzhou's attention, Cao Cao feels that this is a very cost-effective deal.

The main force of Cao Cao's army, the best base is Luoyang!

Luoyang has Xiongguan, and it is not an easy thing to attack.

Moreover, starting from Luoyang, whether it is to support Xuchang or Yanzhou, is more convenient, and Bingzhou is only separated by the Yellow River.

Therefore, Cao Cao stationed 30 troops in Luoyang, collectively known as Luoyang Guard.

In Cao Cao's cognition, he has only one enemy, and that is Dongyang King Liu Dingfang.

One morning, Cao Cao left Luoyang with a hundred of his personal guards and generals, and came to the Luoyang Guard's barracks to inspect the army.

Only when he is accompanied by a mighty and majestic army, can Cao Cao feel at ease.

Because rebellions everywhere, while not doing much damage, are always distracting.

"How is such a powerful army compared to the Yangzhou army?" Cao Cao said in high spirits.

This is where the elite of Cao Cao's army is located, and it is also Cao Cao's pride. Whoever dares to babble, don't even think about keeping their heads.

Therefore, some generals remained silent.However, Cao Cao would be angry if no one spoke.

So Cao Hong was the first to take the lead and said, "King Wei, if the 30 Luoyang guards hold on to one place, the 50 Yangzhou army will not be able to attack it!"

The defenders already had the upper hand, so Cao Hong took advantage of it, but it finally opened up the topic.

"Haha! Zi Lian is right." Cao Cao smiled happily, "What about field battles?"

Cao Hong took a step back, indicating that this question should be answered by others, after all, he has already taken a crucial step.

Cao Cao glanced away, and many people lowered their heads, even some veterans.

"Yu Jin, tell me."

Why is it me?

Being named by Cao Cao, Yu Jin looked terrified.

"King Wei..."

"Call me my lord from now on!"

Cao Cao made a correction.

"So are you."

The king of Dongyang has long been called the king, but his subordinates still call him the lord.

Cao Cao always felt uncomfortable when the king of Wei was yelling.

"My lord... the subordinates think that it is best not to fight the Yangzhou army in the field. They have endless methods and it is difficult to defeat them. Our army has a lot of new troops, and the methods that can be trained to defend the city are simple and easy to understand."

This sentence went to Cao Cao's heart, but he is also a person who wants face.

This kind of training can be done secretly, but it cannot be said in front of so many people.

Xia Houyuan hastily added, saying:

"My lord, please give an order to hand over Luoyang Guard to the last general, and the last general will definitely train a master of all battles."

In other words, 30 Luoyang Guards will be trained into troops that are good at field combat and can compete with the Yangzhou Army.

As for the other troops, let's defend the city.

Cao Cao fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "Good!"

Xia Houyuan clasped his fists in response.

These are all generals under Cao Cao's command. After so much experience, Cao Cao has a lot more tolerance.
