Jicheng, the capital of Jixi Road, is an ancient city that has been around for more than two hundred years.

Before the world was divided into thirty roads, this Jicheng was a very prosperous place south of Liangzhou. Many merchants and chambers of commerce who went to the north would set up branches in Jicheng.

The caravans that transport goods can replenish supplies in Jicheng, and then travel north to the cool ground. This will not only save time, but also ensure the safety of the caravans.

The origin of Jidong Hexi Road is also distinguished by this Jicheng. Several prefectures and counties around Jizhou and on the west side are classified as Jixi Road, with the east being Jidong Road.

If the surrounding counties had not been for their vast territory, the court would have hoped to merge the two roads into one road.

According to legend, a thousand years ago, ancient people established a country in Jizhou, so the people in Jizhou have regarded themselves as the people of Jizhou.

The age is long and history cannot be verified, but the two paths of Hebei and eastern Hebei are indeed vast and have a large population. The folk customs are slightly different from those in the Central Plains, and most of them are customs in the northern border.

When the imperial court first divided the two paths of Hebei, East and West Hebei, perhaps it had a deeper meaning:

First, we should prevent the northern defense line from being broken by barbarians. The powerful Hebei-East and Hebei-East can support it for a while and buy time for the imperial court to mobilize the army;

Another possibility is to prevent the rebellion of the officials in the border areas and arrange two big guys behind Beiliang, so that the eastern and western Hebei will be the barrier of the entire Central Plains.

The towering ancient city walls are covered with traces of time, and even sword marks. Dead grasses are struggling to poke their heads out of the gaps between bricks and stones, and their vitality is very tenacious.

Sixty years ago, the most prosperous grassland peoples captured Liangzhou and Youzhou, and the military peaks went straight down until the ancient city before they were blocked.

The nomadic cavalry thought that the city was vulnerable, and as long as they waved their sabers to scare, the generals guarding the city would open the city to surrender. This move they tried and tested.

Unfortunately, things went against my wishes.

More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city defended their lives for three months, with countless casualties and wounded. Finally, they waited for reinforcements from the court and finally repelled the invading foreign enemies.

Therefore, this ancient city also has its glory.

After the establishment of Jixi Road, Jicheng became the center of several surrounding prefectures and counties. Many wealthy families moved their families' businesses here, making Jicheng even more prosperous.

Since the capital city incident, the number of troops garrisons in Ji City has been increasing. The government recruited soldiers from the people, ordered bandits and refugees to abdicate and make a lot of money to make them work for the court.

In just over three months, the Jixi Road, which originally had only 50,000 troops garrisoned, has expanded its troops to 100,000, and some of them were drawn from the Central Plains.

Except for a part of the army stationed in Maling Pass and several other prefectures and counties, the remaining 50,000 troops were all left in Ji City, which can be said to be a gathering of heavy troops.

Once Maling Pass ahead is broken, Jicheng will be the last line of defense for Xiji Road.

In the past few months, the garrisons in Jicheng are all soldiers, and they are worried day and night that the Liang army will attack. After all, the Liang army's name is not for nothing.

Fortunately, the weather has been calm for more than three months, and there has been no abnormal movement in Beiliang. It has only cut off the communication between the governments between the two places. The roars who went out to patrol have never seen any signs of mobilization in the Liangdi army.

But from the middle of the night before yesterday, this Ji City became completely nervous. The defenders on the city were twice as many as the number of vacancies and countless rangers spread out to the front line.

"That's right! Fight them! What are you afraid of!"

"What is the Beiliang Iron Cavalry in the world? I think it's all bragging about. Who doesn't carry one head with two shoulders?

He Liang Jun is not more hands and legs than us!"

"That's right, our strength can fight them head-on!"

Several generals were slamming the table and making noise. Obviously, they all agreed with Su Hong's plan to go out of the city to fight.
