Chapter 70

In the county seat of HS, only county government officials and servants are left stationed in the county seat.The entire county is empty, like a ghost town.

It has been a month since Lin Yifan gathered with everyone to discuss matters, and the whole north is in a cold world.The gold werewolves going south that everyone had predicted did not happen, and this was a bit embarrassing, as if the previous preparations were wasted.Although everyone felt confused, they were greatly relieved.In a month's time, something major must have happened on the grassland, which caused the Golden Werewolves to fail to go south.For this reason, Luo Yi led the cavalry into the grassland north of Hengshan to inquire about news. More than ten days have passed, and until now they have not received any rewards.

But Lin Yifan still refused to relax his vigilance. He always felt that this matter was not that simple. If the Golden Werewolves didn't go south for such a big natural disaster, where else could they go to loot?It's a pity that the news is blocked at present, and I can't think of a reason for it.In this regard, Lin Yifan had no choice but to take the attitude of believing what is true or not what is not, and continued to be vigilant.Fortunately, there are sufficient supplies now, and the people have no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, so it is not bad to spend the winter safely in this way.

Since the Golden Werewolf didn't come, Lin Yifan didn't stay idle during this month. Due to the chaotic weather, many plants and crops were damaged, and Hengshan was no exception. Fortunately, they had just been built from the ruins, and they hadn't had time yet. Plant crops.However, a large area of ​​sweet potatoes was planted, because the heavy snow came early and was greatly affected. Many sweet potatoes were not fully mature, and their growth cycle was interrupted.But at this time, he couldn't care so much anymore, Lin Yifan mobilized the people to start harvesting sweet potatoes before the snow was thick.After the digging, a total of more than 20 catties of sweet potatoes were harvested, enough for the people of Hengshan to eat for a year and a half, and the remaining leaves and vines could just be collected to feed horses and livestock.Lin Yifan was very happy with such a result, and immediately sent [-] catties of sweet potatoes to each household, telling them not to eat too much, and saving them for further planting in the coming year.The county government itself only keeps tens of thousands of catties as seeds for expanded planting in the coming year.

The Bailongshan iron field also worked desperately to build weapons and armor during this month, and finally equipped five thousand soldiers and horses with basic equipment.In addition to the well-equipped [-] cavalry, the [-] strong men can at least be equipped with leather armor, swords, guns and shields. The [-] archers also have a sword and a good bow, plus two pots full of arrows.As for the horse thief cavalry, they can only have a saber and shield.

The population of Heishui City has reached nearly [-]. Since the urban construction has not yet been completed and there are sufficient materials, the construction period has not stopped due to the heavy snow. Instead, the urban construction team has been expanded to make the construction speed faster.

News came from Shazhou that heavy snow blocked the promenade and ancient roads, and Shazhou's commerce and trade almost came to a standstill.The Dingyuan Army gathered at every pass in Shazhou to guard against the Xijinlang Khanate and the Tianyun Empire.

Polang Pass is also on standby, and the gate is blocked. HS County has temporarily lost contact with the pass.

The whole world is making strategic arrangements, especially all parts of the north are preparing for the golden wolf to go south.But until now, they haven't even seen half of the golden werewolves.

How is this going?Everyone was at a loss, feeling as if they had been punched in the cotton, and at the same time they relaxed their hearts, praying secretly to God, let this natural disaster wipe out the Golden Werewolves.In a month's time, everyone can foresee that the Golden Werewolf must have suffered heavy casualties and the population is depleted. It is impossible to become stronger without ten or eight years of recovery, and the world can finally enjoy peace again.

Some people are happy, others are naturally worried.Tianyun Empire suddenly felt aggrieved, if the Golden Werewolf did not come, the Tianwu Empire would not be chaotic, and if the Tianwu Empire would not be chaotic, he would have no chance to take advantage of the situation.

The HS county office was suddenly attracted by the sound of rumbling horseshoes. Not long after, a group of people came from outside the door, led by Luo Yi.

"My lord, fortunately, we have found out some rumors from the grassland." Luo Yi said excitedly, ignoring the hot tea that Lin Yifan handed over: "Going to the grassland, we found that the tribes here have a population of more than Most of them are old and weak. For this reason, the subordinates thought that it was Jinlang Khan who was gathering various troops to form an army, so we secretly arrested a few herdsmen for interrogation, but found that things were completely different from what we thought. Jinlang Khan was indeed in Gather all tribesmen and horses, but not to go south, but to go west."

"Western Expedition? Attack the Western Golden Wolf Khanate?" Lin Yifan asked in surprise, "How is this possible? The Western Golden Wolf is poorer than the Eastern Golden Wolf. What's the use of attacking them? Isn't this a joke?"

"My subordinates really thought it was ridiculous at first, thinking that those herdsmen were lying, so they went to several other places to arrest some herdsmen, and verified the two. The result was the same. They all said that Jinlang Khan was going to march west It's a pity that the people we arrested were all ignorant herdsmen, and they couldn't get much information." Luo Yi sighed as he drank hot tea helplessly.

"It's really confusing, what exactly does this Golden Wolf Khan want to do?" Lin Yifan frowned, "Lieutenant Luo County, tell me, is this Golden Wolf Khan using tricks to cover up his purpose of going south? "

"This, my subordinates are not sure, but the weather is bad now, if you stay on the grassland for one more day, more people will die. The golden werewolves have persisted for a full month. If this is just a slap in the face, then you have to pay a lot of price? "Luo Yi also frowned and analyzed.

"My lord, County Captain Luo is right." Liu Yue agreed from the side, "I have been here for decades, so I know a little about the Golden Werewolves. In the past, as soon as winter came, the Golden Werewolves would go south without stopping. They dare not delay for a moment in plundering supplies. As soon as it snows, the vegetation withers and the livestock cannot survive. Without livestock, the grassland people have no home and can only wander around and become slaves of other tribes. Therefore, the subordinates thought, The Golden Werewolf might really be marching westward, otherwise, the price would be too great."

Lin Yifan still couldn't let go of it when he heard the words, "But this Western Expedition is too unimaginable. There is a [-]-mile Gobi Desert blocking the Golden Werewolf. They want to pass, and the casualties are as heavy as it is?"

"My lord, why should we worry about these things?" Li Huzi shouted in confusion, "Aren't we already fully prepared? What's the difference between coming and not coming? If we come, we will fight. If we don't come, we will fight." We ended up at ease. Why, look at what I do, did I say something wrong?" Seeing that everyone was looking at him in unison, Li Huzi thought that he had made an embarrassment, so he couldn't help but said angrily.

Lin Yifan smiled and patted Li Huzi's shoulder, "Hahaha, you are right, and you are right." As he spoke, he looked at the crowd and said relaxedly, "Li Huzi is right, why should we worry? Worrying about this and that, thinking about it, worrying about it? Now that we have made the necessary preparations, and even arranged the way out, then we have nothing to worry about. It’s just a fight, and even if we can’t win, it’s a big deal to leave. That’s fine. As long as I’m from Hengshan, HS County will still be there.”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, sweeping away the haze of these days.

Although everyone has no worries, the vigilance that should be done still cannot be relaxed.However, Polangguan, which is within a hundred miles, has relaxed, Weiyuan County has relaxed, Anzhou has relaxed, and the imperial court thousands of miles away has also relaxed.The situation in the whole world has returned to calm, and the days of peace in the world can continue again.

On the north side of the Wolong Mountain Range, which is 30 miles away from the north of the horizontal SD, there are camps stretching for tens of miles, and hundreds of thousands of war horses neighing and shaking the sky. More than 10 prairie cavalry gathered here. Although they were dilapidated, everyone was full of energy and their eyes were fiery.As Golden Wolf Khan stood on the high platform, he issued a battle order.The virtuous kings on the left and right led their elite cavalry and [-] tribal servants to divide into two directions and set off.In this battle, King Zuoxian attacked Qianren Pass in Yanzhou, King Youxian attacked Breaking Lang Pass, and Jinlang Khan personally led his army to attack Tieqiang Pass in Mingzhou.

The sound of the horn is inspiring, and the roar of the war horse is murderous.The boundless cavalry was divided into three torrents and swept down to the south, as if nothing could stop their galloping iron hooves.
