The Sacred Ding

Five days later, Chen Hai and Ye Qinglin led 8,000 cavalry back to Baishiyu. At this time, the King Palace of Xiqiang was captured, and the lord Ye Chentian and the Ye clan were in the capital for more than a thousand clansman and were slaughtered by the rebels. The news of the defeated soldiers who fled north also spread to Baishiling.

Ye Qinglin, Ye He, Jiang Zhe and other generals and ministers of the Ye clan in the West Qiang Kingdom were all in a hurry at this time.

Ye’s ruled the West Qiang for more than 300 years. 20 years ago, 90% of the city was captured by Dayan, and all the remnants of the city were tortured. Everyone didn’t expect it to be in the evening. In time, destroyed by the hands of the traitor.

The only comforting thing is that the first batch of reinforcements in Hexi consisted of hundreds of black feather giant eagles and black eagle generals, carrying a lot of spiritual medicine and excellent armor, and arrived at Baishi at about the same time. Yu, meet Chen Hai and Ye Qinglin.

The leader of the first wave of Hexi reinforcements was also the Tieliu Camp Duhu General Dong Pu that Chen Hai, Ye Qinglin, even Dong Ning, Ran Hu never expected, and the first Ge Xuanqiao of Taiweizong Ancestral Hall.

Needless to say the status of Ge Xuanqiao, and Dong Pu, as the nephew of the martial god Hou Dong Liang, can be said to be the sixth and seventh person of the Dong family, whose status is only under Qin Muhou and Dong Shou .

Because of Dong Liang’s knees, the achievements of the two sons of Dong Chou and Dong Shou are all out of the ordinary. It is impossible for Dong Pu to adopt Dong Liang’s knees and become the elder son, but his position is the most stable and extremely Trusted by the god Dongliang, he has been responsible for presiding over the Tieliuling Line of Defense for these years.

In Taiwei sect, Dong Pu is a figure in the Dao Pill realm and a child of the Dong family. Although he respects Ge Xuanqiao as Senior, his position is not weaker than Ge Xuanqiao.

Dong Pu and Ge Xuanqiao arrived at Baishiyu at the same time, which shows how much the Taiweizong and the Hexi Duhu Mansion paid attention to the situation in the West Qiang Kingdom.

Dong Pu and Ge Xuanqiao came over and will not announce their true identities. After arriving, they talked with Chen Hai, Ye Qinglin, and Dong Ning to the secret room. Besides, only Ran Hu was qualified to follow the secret room. Audit.

Taiweizong noticed the abnormal situation in the West Qiang country early on, and when Dong Ning was trapped in Yequ Mountain, Dong Pu knew the news immediately in Tieliuling, but should he send soldiers to Dong Ning? Taking back to Hexi, Taiweizong and Hexi Duhu Mansion have always had great controversy.

20 years ago, Hexi sent troops to the Celestial Emperor to march west to Jinzhou. There was no less killing in the Pinglu Oasis. There was no way to dilute the blood feud in 20 years. This is also the biggest marriage between the two Obstacles, this is something that Dong’s family considered before they decided to marry Ye’s family.

The dispatch of troops in Hexi will only arouse fiercer and more general resistance in the Pinglu Oasis, and will also give the Qianghu forces west of the West Qiang State an excuse to send troops to intervene in the chaos of the Pinglu Oasis Situation.

We can’t even send troops to take Dong Ning back. That would completely cut off the road of marriage between the two families. Even at that time, Hexi had anticipated that there might be a rebellion within the West Qiang country. Sit and watch the internal solution of these problems in Western Qiang.

Chen Hai’s series of actions in Black Mountain and Moyue Lake were the biggest variables that Hexi did not anticipate. In fact, Dong Pu received fragmented news in Tieliuling and already knew the so-called state. It was Chen Hai, but at first I didn’t think Chen Hai could do anything by himself.

The timing has been delayed until four days ago. The messenger rushed to Tieliuling with the rescue letter written by Ye Qinglin and Dong Ning. They realized that Chen Hai had already gathered in Black Mountain and Moyue Lake. Ten thousand soldiers.

At this time, divine might, Dong Liang and even the son of Dong Chou, Ge Xuanqiao and the others are all sitting in Tieliuling, closely following the development of the situation in West Qiang, even if they know that Chen Hai is in Black Mountain, Moon Lake has gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Tieliuling still has a great controversy over whether to assist Black Mountain.

If you can stand firm, everyone knows how much benefit Hexi is, but everyone knows that Chen Hai’s 20,000 soldiers and horses are the result of the courage of the remnants and small and medium tribes. , By no means an elite.

Furthermore, the oasis of Black Mountain and Moyue Lake is too small, there is no depth at all, and there are not enough resources to support. Even Dong Pu and other famous Hexi players have no confidence at all. With 20,000 What can a weak soldier do in the depths of the vast desert?

Most people still hope that Chen Hai and Dong Ning can withdraw to Hexi. If Ye’s is willing to return to Hexi, Hexi can set aside a piece of land with aquatic and lush vegetation on the western foot of Tieliuling and relocate Ye’s. Shi can rest there first, and then consider the matter of rejuvenation.

In the end, Dong Chou, the world’s son, advocated giving the decision to Chen Hai, Ye Qinglin, and Dong Ning, and they decided whether to withdraw or stay, but Hexi would then consider how to respond.

Ge Xuanqiao and Dong Pu came over together, just to ask Chen Hai, Dong Ning, and Ye Qinglin their opinions.

This was a difficult decision. Ye Qinglin was silent for a long time without saying a word.

“Chen Hai, what do you think?” Ge Xuanqiao asked Chen Hai.

It’s a secret room, but it’s actually very crude. The stone walls are covered with thatched roof, and the wind blows in from the cracks. Chen Hai sit cross-legged after the stone case, see Ge Old Ancestor ask him. , Shrugged, and said: “After I left Juquan Ridge, I traveled around and ran into the depths of the desert, wanting to appreciate the infinite scenery of the vast sandy sea. Didn’t expect will encounter this incident. The crime of counterfeiting the state , I don’t know how to get rid of it yet. This matter, Ge Old Ancestor, you really don’t need to ask my opinion.”

Dong Pu looked at Chen Hai, and looked at this again. The guy who hates and loves, don’t know what to say.

This guy refused to marry at Meiwu Fort in Yanjing, so that Dong’s face was lost. At this time, he went to Jinzhou. The ghost believed that he happened to see the scenery of the desert. More than 20,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Black Mountain and Moyue Lake. Only 5,000 are remnants of the Ye clan. The other soldiers and horses were created by Chen Hai. Can they not ask Chen Hai’s opinion?

In fact, in order to avoid the mistakes of Juquanling, the first thing they have to ask, or respect, is Chen Hai’s opinion, otherwise, who knows what Chen Hai will do for them? Moth.

This is also the reason why Dong Chou suggested that Ge Xuanqiao and Dong Pu take a trip in person.

Ge Xuanqiao looked at Chen Hai and then at Dong Ning, and he sighed in his heart. If he hadn’t refused to marry him before, he would be cheeky and go to the son of Dong Chou not to stop them. Marriage will not happen so many changes, but now many things are irreparable.

“No matter what, if you have any thoughts, you should also tell us.” Ge Xuanqiao stared at Chen Hai and continued.

“Whether you are withdrawing or staying, you must focus on the pawns to achieve great things,” Chen Hai said after a moment of indulgence, “So, whether you are withdrawing or staying, even if you don’t Ordinary soldiers consider it, but they should also gather the main leaders to discuss. Only after we unify our thoughts and understanding can we go longer. It should not be a few of us sitting in this secret room to determine the fate of everyone. “

Chen Hai once worked in Dao Academy cultivation in Tieliuling, and briefly served as a low-level military attache under Tieliu Daying, and was subsequently incorporated into Yulong Daying. Dong Pu had no chance to compete with him before. Chen Hai has met, but also knows that Chen Hai often does amazing things.

Dong Pu and Ge Xuanqiao secretly discussed the episode, and said to Chen Hai: “Then, according to your opinion, gather all the generals to discuss the withdrawal – I and Ge Old Ancestor will not be exposed for the time being The identity is only said to be a messenger in Hexi.”

Withdrawal to Hexi has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that at this time, retreat resolutely eastward, the probability of rebel pursuit is not high, and it is safe to retreat to Tieliuling. , Hexi can also get an elite to consolidate the Tieliuling line of defense, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

All the tribes of the West Qiang Kingdom have not forgotten their blood feud 20 years ago. The Ye family married with the Dong family. Some clans could still accept it, but the Ye family directly became a vassal of the Dong family and withdrew to Hexi. Will be regarded as a betrayal of the land of Pinglu, Zhang Clan will naturally gain the support of most clans and become the new Royal Family of the Pinglu Oasis. The chance of Yip’s rejuvenation will become extremely slim.

By staying, the righteous name of the Ye family ruling the West Qiang Kingdom can be preserved, but more than 20,000 disabled soldiers and horses occupy a few small-scale oasis, what can be done?

Fan Dachun and the others still hope to directly surrender to Hexi, but apart from the Ye’s disabled generals, Han Qingyuan, Han Jian, Deng Tong’er, and even Guo Hongpan and other tribal-origin generals, even if Even if the horse thief’s job is difficult, he still advocates staying in the desert.

Since the main generals have decided to stay, the next step is to discuss how to stay.

It is inevitable to support Ye Qinglin in Black Mountain as the leader of the Western Qiang Kingdom, and to fight against the rebels led by Ye Qinglin, and the ultimate goal of staying is to help Ye Qinglin and the remnants of the Ye family recover to Ping Lu The rule of the Oasis.

Hexi Dongs will not send troops directly, but they will inevitably provide a lot of assistance. Only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers can barely sustain themselves in the depths of the desert. Ge Xuanqiao and Dong Pu even kept the hundreds of black-feather giant eagles they brought this time, but after all, Dong is not just a Holy Mother and a saint who does good deeds and does not ask for anything in return. How to ensure Dong’s interests is also a discussion. “Stay” is the key to this issue.

The final plan is to make a fuss about Dong Ning’s identity.

Although Dong Ning, the young master of the Xiqiang country who wants to marry this time, Ye Youfang has been killed by Zhang Clan, and neither of them officially held the wedding, but Ye Qinglin and the Ye clan will admit that Dong Ning is the young master of Xiqiang. The identity of the emperor and concubine, canonized Mrs. Jingjue.

At the same time, the Jingjue Protector House will be established, and Black Mountain, Moyue Lake, Songyang Lake, Crescent Lake, Yequ Mountain and other places will be established. Dong Ning will be the hereditary guardian of Jingjue.

As a condition, Dong Ning can adopt Dong’s children as heirs of Jingjue Duhufu in the future, but the stepson must be changed to surnamed Ye to show the complete rule of the Ye family over the surrounding territories of Pinglu Oasis .

The Dong family will help Ye Qinglin reorganize and form a Royal Family of about 20,000 elite soldiers, but the elite army still only needs to be loyal to the Jingjue Protectorate–Ran Hu and the The others broke away from Hexi, as the retainer of the Jingjue Duhufu, and were incorporated into the Jingjue army; Hexi will then transfer Pei Jinhua and the others as quickly as possible to assist Dong Ning.

In short, these people and materials can be regarded as a dowry for Dong Ning in Hexi. None of the Qiang and Hu tribes can accuse Hexi of interfering in the internal affairs of Xiqiang.
