The Sacred Ding

Chen Hai is patient. In the past nearly three months, he led an outstanding army in Black Mountain, Black Falcon Cliff, Jinxiangling, and Moyue Lake. Ran Hu, Ye He, Dong Ning and the others know.

He collected the bandits and tribal forces in Black Mountain and Moshan Lake. Although he barely made up 20,000 soldiers and horses, they are still a long way from the real elite of the hundred warriors. Distance to go.

And the reason why many previous battles have been so smooth is that the soldiers and horses of the thief villages left behind by the bandits are relatively weaker, and the soldiers and horses gathered in the Moyue Lake and Guhuo Mountain villages finally There are 4,000-5,000 people, but they are actually assembled from various villages. There is not enough integration inside, and it is much more chaotic than Jingjue Army. Chen Hai, they captured Black Mountain for the second time, even Han Qingyuan. Their soldiers and horses who surrendered in battle contributed the most.

In the early stages of Chen Hai’s many battles, he made enough money, but when Kong Peng, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun and other thieves completely spirit slowly recovers, the future battles will not be so easy to fight– Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun, and Kong Peng are all people who know soldiers, so there are not that many gaps for him to drill.

Chen Hai is now thinking about Ye Qinglin’s retreat to Black Mountain with them. As long as Ye’s king flag can be erected at Black Mountain, he can gather more Ye’s who escaped from the defeat of the Western Qiang nation. The remnant can still contact the City Lord of Zhucheng who is still loyal to the Ye family, and the situation in the Western Qiang State is not a complete failure.

As long as the situation in the West Qiang Kingdom is not completely defeated, then they are qualified to ask Hexi for help.

The probability of Hexi dispatching troops to the west is not high, but if Dongs can see that they have done something in the West Qiang country, they will not rush to recall Dong Ning, Ran Hu and the others, and may send them. A lot of spiritual medicine and soldiers are supporting them…

At this time, these are what they lack most.

The grain and grass reserves in Black Mountain and Moyue Lake can barely support until next year, but if a soldier wants to become an elite of all kinds of battles, the only resources needed are grain and grass, a large amount of middle and low-level spiritual medicine. And excellent soldiers are indispensable.

Chen Hai previously seized a total of 450,000 jin of low- and medium-level spiritual medicine from Zhuzhai, which seems to be a huge number, but after Jingjuejun is scaled up, the consumption of resources is astronomical.

After many wars and expeditions, Shi Qumi and other low-level spiritual medicines have been consumed in large quantities, the spiritual medicine that Jing Juejun reserves at this time can only support one or two more battles and it will be exhausted. .

Previously, it seemed that four 500,000 catties of hardened iron were seized. Even regardless of the requirements for war weapon casting, regardless of daily wear and tear, four 500,000 catties of hardened iron can only be used to cast three to five thousand sets of excellent armor. That’s it; not to mention the casting of three to five thousand sets of Liangliangjia, in addition to quenching gold and iron, it also requires a lot of familiar craftsmen to spend a lot of time and energy to cast.

Even if Chen Hai has a group of slave craftsmen and craftsmen in his hands, he still needs resources to raise these craftsmen and craftsmen.

With these resources, Chen Hai impossible counts on Black Mountain and Moshan Lake’s tens of thousands of clansmans to be produced continuously–generally speaking, at least a population of 2,000,000 and the corresponding area are needed. Can raise 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses, and perhaps less than half of them are truly elite-the population and area under their control is too small and too small, so they can only ask for help from Hexi Dongning at this time.

“Yehou, the current situation is generally like this. Yehou has to decide where to go.” Chen Hai and Ye Qinglin said.

Anyway, Ye Qinglin is one of the core figures of Ye’s Royal Family. If King Xiqiang has fallen into the hands of Zhang Clan, Kong Peng and the others, the main figure of Ye’s Royal Family Both have been slaughtered. Whether it is him or Hexi, he can only support Ye Qinglin’s succession to the throne of Xiqiang.

Although Ran Hu and the others could know some news from the captives, it was too fragmentary after all. Hearing Chen Hai talk about all this in person, they felt more thrilling. Didn’t expect Chen Hai to rely on strength of oneself, I can do this step unexpectedly, I don’t know what to say for a long time.

The children of Hexi don’t care much about the fate of the West Qiang Kingdom, and they are even more grateful that they are relieved at this time. At the same time, the eyes looking towards Chen Hai are full of admiration–Chen Hai became famous in Qin Tongshan. There are also military training records sent back to Hexi, but for the overwhelming majority of Hexi dísciple, there is no personal experience of seeing is believing. This is the real admiration, and I think in my heart, if Chen Hai can truly be loyal to Hexi, they are in Chen Hai’s subordinates charge into the battlefield and build up combat achievements. What a joy!

Only at this time, even Ran Hu didn’t understand that Chen Hai’s actions wanted to regain Dong’s favor or simply to relieve Dong Ning’s danger. But no matter what kind of possibility it was, Ran Hu felt happy in his heart to think of being able to fight side by side for some time in the future.

“hmph ……”

Chen Hai wants to make Fan Dachun, Han Wendang, Deng Tonger and the others just and awe-inspiring, so he didn’t mention that Ning Chaner used Soul Pill in the first place. Control their details. Ning Chan’er sat aside and listened to Chen Hai for a long time. She didn’t even mention her contribution. She still felt a little unhappy, but she could only hum.

Ning Chan’er did not recover her true face, and it is impossible to show her true face in front of outsiders. Everyone regards her as Chen Hai. It is inconvenient to see that Chen Hai does not take the initiative to introduce her. Ask more.

Chen Hai can go to this step today and be able to ask everyone to be in danger by himself is naturally a secret that is inconvenient for outsiders to know.

Ye Qinglin’s face was full of expressions of struggle and pain. He also doubted that Chen Hai’s intelligence was accurate, but he didn’t have many choices before him.

At this time, rushing back to the Western Qiang Kingdom, the capital of the king may have fallen into the hands of Zhang Clan, welcoming them is the inescapable net laid down by thieves such as Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng.

Although the West Qiang State has adopted the Ye family as its head, all the City Lords have a certain degree of independence, control a certain size of the city government army, and have the power to collect taxes and govern by the people. The true foundation of the Ye family The land is the royal capital on the east coast of Pingluhai and several nearby cities.

Once the capital falls to the hands of Zhang Clan, it will be difficult for the Ye clan to recruit enough reinforcements from Zhucheng to expel Zhang Clan in a short period of time. If the cities are not to fall to Zhang Clan immediately, the Ye clan must Maintaining an elite and strong battle strength on the periphery can regain the power of Xiqiang and the possibility of rejuvenation.

Furthermore, Ye Qinglin knew in his heart that even if he insisted on rushing back to the Western Qiang country at this time, there were only more than two thousand remnants available under his command. Chen Hai put together 4000-5000 elite cavalrymen. , Impossible will listen to his command, not to mention the more than 10,000 horses on standby in Black Mountain and Moyue Lake.

“Can Hexi be sure to assist us?” Ye Qinglin asked hesitantly.

This is what Ye Qinglin is most concerned about. The two oasis of Black Mountain and Moyue Lake are too small compared to the Pinglu Oasis, even if they can make up forty to fifty thousand soldiers in Black Mountain. , But without the strong support of the Dong clan in Hexi, how can you raise four to five thousand soldiers and horses with the help of hundreds of thousands of tribal children?

“The Dong family and the Ye family are willing to become in-laws, and the Ye family is in trouble. Although Hexi is inconvenient to send troops directly, he will never stand idly by.” Dong Ning said affirmatively.

When she married, father Dong Shou was not in Hexi, but her uncle Dong Chou personally called her over and told her in detail about the plans of Dong and Ye’s marriage. To put it bluntly, she wanted her Do everything possible to expand Dong’s influence in the Pinglu Oasis, to ensure that the Pinglu Oasis becomes a barrier for Qiang and Hu’s eastward advancement, and to resolve Dong’s worries in the west.

For this reason, not only Ran Hu and the others will listen to her transfer, but in the later period Dong Clan enters the caravan of Pinglu Oasis, as long as they stay in Xiqiang, they must also listen to her temperance.

At this time, they really want to help the Ye clan drive out rebellion and rejuvenate the nation, and their influence, penetration and control on the Pinglu Oasis and the Ye clan are better than what they originally had. How many times higher than expected, how could uncle Dong Chou and grandfather Dong Liang say that they could not support them as much as possible?

Ye Qinglin is not stupid, knowing that once he accepts the assistance of the Dong clan, all aspects of the Western Qiang Kingdom may be deeply penetrated by the Dong clan in the future, but in the face of extinction or becoming a vassal of the Dong clan, he does not at all the power of choice.

In fact, Ye Qinglin did not have a chance to hesitate.

The Kings of Xiqiang have already changed at this time. Three days ago, an envoy rushed to Songyang Lake to contact Ye Qinglin. But before the Black Mountain Kou Army surrounded Songyang Lake, the envoy had no chance to approach. .

After the Black Mountain bandits retreated to the west, the envoy dared to walk out of the hiding place with several entourages and drove over along the Songyang River from the south to see Ye Qinglin before nightfall.

Zhang Xiong and Zhang Jun brother had rebelled four days ago. They first hosted a banquet in the Zhang Clan mansion in the capital city, including Ye Youfang, Shaoqun Ye Youfang, and many other officials and officials. After the killing, he led Zhang Clan’s elite children and southern army generals to raid the northern army’s camp in the capital.

Because Ye Chentian, the lord of the country, had previously suspected that the Northern Army generals might rebel, and arrested several Northern Army generals for interrogation, the Northern Army had long become people were alarmed. After the rebellion broke out, it was either absorbed by the rebels, fled the city in a hurry, or was annihilated. In short, there was no resistance, and the 40,000 soldiers of the Northern Army fell apart.

After the rebels defeated the northern army camp, they soon took control of the capital city and began to besiege the palace three days ago.

When the messenger escaped from the capital city to deliver the letter, the lord Ye Chentian led three thousand Guard troops to be trapped in the palace.

“The Ye family will perish, the country will be destroyed, the captain will soon send troops to the savior!” The messenger Jiang Zhe was almost 40 years old, and he was the cultivation base of Spirit Realm’s later stage, but at this moment he was holding Ye Qinglin’s thigh and howling Weeping, crying to Ye Qinglin to lead his troops back to the capital.

Ye Qinglin was also full of desolation. The Black Mountain invaders withdrew all the way to the west without looking back. It must be as fast as possible to rendezvous with the southern rebels. When the time comes, the rebels have seven to eighty thousand elite , What does he take to help and save?

Now what they can do is to send someone to Hexi to ask for help from the Dong clan, that is, when they rush to Black Mountain and Moyue Lake, they send people to inform those clans in Xiqiang who are still loyal to the Ye clan. The forces and the generals of the Northern Army who escaped from the capital will move to Black Mountain and Moyue Lake as quickly as possible to avoid being defeated by the rebels separately.

After Ye Qinglin’s luck was completely cut off, he soon co-signed with Dong Ning a letter of request for help, and sent people to go to Tieliuling as fast as possible by spirit birds. They were no longer there. Songyang Lake continued to be delayed, and 8,000 soldiers and horses left overnight and rushed to Black Mountain.

The 8,000 soldiers and horses hurriedly withdrew westward, and they kept encountering soldiers and horses who had escaped from the Pinglu Oasis along the way, all of which brought shocking news.

The war with Dayan has only passed for 20 years, and the hatred is not so easy to forget. There are not many clans in the Pinglu Oasis that really support the marriage of the Ye clan and the Dong clan. In Zhang Clan, he rebelled and controlled the king. After the capital, before the rebels could take the palace, five or six cities on the north shore of Pinglu Lake announced their dedication to Zhang Clan.
