Although Qi Hanjiang has scars on his face, he is burly, even before stepping into the Ming Realm, he is born with a heroic courage, like a slashing saber that has been tempered for thousands of years, so sharp that people dare not look at it directly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Qi Hanjiang looked down on Du Linan, who was not good-looking and dressed like a philistine businessman, and watched Du Linan bring back a bunch of useless materials, pile them in front of Chen Hai, and said with a joking smile: "If you have anything to say, who has the patience to look at such a bunch of things?"

Qi Hanjiang squeezed over and signaled that since Du Linan had already put down the information, he could sit down a little bit and answer Chen Hai's question.

"Don't be presumptuous, sit on the sidelines and listen to Director Du analyze the situation in Lucheng. Seeing that Qi Hanjiang was about to bully Du Linan, Chen Hai glared at him and scolded him for sitting aside honestly.

Qi Hanjiang is the kind of natural brave general, and his cultivation progress is faster than Zhou Jun and others, coupled with his temperament of not being afraid of heaven and earth, his momentum is stronger after stepping into the Ming Realm, and he was glared at by Chen Hai at this time, but his momentum was immediately like a balloon that had been punctured, and he retreated to the side.

Du Linan seems to be a philistine businessman, this is more of a means for him to protect himself in Lucheng, he will not be annoyed by Qi Hanjiang's rudeness, he cares more about Chen Hai's attitude towards him.

Chen Hai has a rough appearance, taller than Qi Hanjiang, as if a mountain is sitting behind a table, but Chen Hai's momentum at this time is restrained, and there is no edge exposed, and his cultivation is obviously only in the early stage of the Ming Realm, but in Du Linan's eyes, Chen Hai gives him the feeling that it is far more unfathomable than Qi Hanjiang, like a stone peak standing on a cold snowfield, not far away, not close, and indestructible.

To say that Du Linan still has the courage to compete with Qi Hanjiang at this time, but in front of Chen Hai, he thought that he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to even mention his fighting spirit.

However, it is not strange to think about it, as the first young powerhouse in the Northwest Regions who has mastered at least two true meanings, and is destined to be able to step into the Dao Dan realm in this life, and can be called the military wizard who has been rare in Yanzhou for hundreds of years, and the puppet of the organ that has rarely been seen for hundreds of years, he has won the prestige of the Black Mountain Arrow Demon in the Golden State Desert, the aura on Chen Hai's body, even if there are many Dao Dan realm powerhouses in Hexi, is everyone capable of competing with him?

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Hai was such a good figure in front of him, Du Linan would not have been able to commit the clan taboo and take out all the Lucheng materials he had collected in the past two years without reservation.

At this time, the interests of the Taiwei Sect and the Dong Clan are greater than anything else, Du Linan cannot betray Chen Hai because of the clan's personal enmity, but from the position of the Du Clan, he should behave passively and reluctantly, instead of cooperating so actively.

However, if you miss the opportunity in front of you, when will there be a stage for him to show Du Linan?

"Chief Du, you have been in Lucheng for a long time, have you ever found anything abnormal in Lucheng recently?" Chen Hai wanted to fully digest the information collected by Du Linan, it would take time, so it was naturally far better to ask Du Linan's opinion directly.

"The five clans of Lucheng Zhougu Zhang Zhao and Yang are not only independent, but also have intricate connections with other clans in the Pinglu Oasis, for example, the Lucheng Zhang clan is really a side branch of the Zhang clan of Tianai Mountain, I am afraid that the power of the Lucheng Zhang clan is weak, even if it advocates supporting Zhang Xiong as the lord of the country, but it cannot decide the posture of the other four families, and even if the other four families sympathize with the Ye family, this sympathy is far from enough for them to openly stand up and support the Ye family's restoration of the country,"

Du Linan said,

"According to the attitude of the five clans in Lucheng, if there is no intervention from external forces, they prefer to stay out of Zhang Ye's bloody war for the country. And Lucheng, as the second largest city in Pinglu, wants to push Lucheng to make a choice as soon as possible, and it is by no means only the elite capital protector......"

Chen Hai nodded, he was not so naïve and naïve that he thought that Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other traitors had completely forgotten Lucheng, and he could also understand the mentality of Lucheng left and right, once the elite army wanted to take Lucheng violently, it must be as fast as thunder, and could not delay a little, otherwise, not only would it not be able to take Lucheng, but it would also completely push Lucheng into the arms of the rebels.

The city guards of Lucheng already have 4,000 elite generals on the surface at this time, but the potential of Lucheng is by no means more than that.

After the Yitian Emperor's western conquest, Zhou Gu and other five clans ran Lucheng for 20 years, and the information collected by Du Linan also stated that the elite private soldiers owned by the five surnames at ordinary times ranged from 600 to 1,000, and at this time the five surnames controlled more than half of the workshops and granges in Lucheng, which actually meant that more than half of the 300,000 farmers and craftsmen inside and outside Lucheng were the subjects of these five surnames.

In addition, due to the interruption of trade routes, nearly 10,000 people were stranded in business travel.

Among these merchants, the Qianghu people accounted for ninety percent, and the Yanzhou people accounted for less than one-percent-and because the caravans were rampant with horse thieves, the proportion of guards with cultivation in the caravans was extremely high.

What's more, after the official establishment of the Elite Capital Protectorate, the people who entered Lucheng in the name of a caravan with ill intentions were not only Qi Hanjiang's gang.

These many things mean that unless the elite army can take Lucheng with lightning speed, otherwise, the situation will be delayed slightly, and the elite army will soon be caught in a desperate situation at the foot of Lucheng City.

In addition to the city walls, Lucheng is made of black sandstone, and the five sides of the city also deploy defensive arrays, and the vigilance is extremely high at this time, no matter whether the elite army is a dignified attack or a surprise attack, it is impossible to take Lucheng before the five surnames react.

"The three people who entered Lucheng with the envoy before were the guards of the caravan of the Changle City Lord's Mansion in the name, but the departure date of this caravan from the Changle City Lord's Mansion was after the Zhang clan rebelled and captured the royal capital, in addition to many low-level guards, there were two people in the caravan who did not show up often, but their cultivation was unfathomable," Du Linan said, "And according to the information I collected before, the He clan of Changle City has a lot of industries in the Tibetan Qiang Kingdom, and the Changle City Lord He Rong himself is a disciple of the Demon God Temple, and he is bent on restoring the glory of the Demon God Temple. Therefore, the Zhang family rebelled, and He Rong did not stand up for it at the first time, but remained neutral, which is a very strange thing in itself. ”

The Demon God Temple was once extremely prosperous in the eastern part of Jinzhou, and Emperor Yitian led his troops to the west, and the Demon God Temple was also the firm core of the Qianghu resistance forces. Although Emperor Yitian's westward expedition was frustrated, his troops were lost, and even Emperor Yitian himself almost died in the depths of the Sand Sea, but the two great Dao Fetal Realms of the Demon God Temple and the nine Dao Dan Realms all fell, and it was also doomed to the irretrievable defeat of the Demon God Temple.

After the Great Yan soldiers and horses retreated eastward, the forces of the Demon God Temple also retreated to the depths of the Dajin Mountain south of the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom to recuperate, because the sect no longer had the Dao Fetal Realm powerhouse in charge, and the Dao Dan Realm powerhouse was left with only three people barely to maintain the situation, and they quickly lost control of the eastern countries of Jinzhou.

However, it is undeniable that the influence of the Demon God Temple in the Pinglu Oasis is still extremely far-reaching.

The Ye family, who was traitorous to the country and wanted to kill and marry Hexi, had the participation of the Tibetan Qiang Kingdom and the Demon God Temple, which was not much surprising, but He Rong, the lord of Changle City, as a disciple who wanted to restore the glory of the Demon God Temple, secretly had close contacts with the Tibetan Qiang State, but at this time, he did not openly stand up to Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other traitors to jointly strengthen the control of the Pinglu Oasis, which is worth pondering.

In order to avoid the uncontrolled expansion of the situation, Hexi will not directly send troops to intervene in the war of the Xiqiang Kingdom, but the support for the Elite Capital Protectorate and the remnants of the Ye clan is not weak at all;

It's a proxy war at all.

And they can see the importance of Lucheng, Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other traitors, as well as the Tibetan Qiang Kingdom and the Demon God Temple behind them, will also not ignore the importance of Lucheng.

"This is a thief, how to fight this battle?" Qi Hanjiang sat aside, listening to Chen Hai and Du Linan's questions and answers, and slowly sorted out the current situation in Lucheng, but the more he listened, the more entangled, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.

Although Ye Qinglin's direct royal army and the elite army that have been initially expanded add up to more than 30,000 troops, even if these 30,000 are pushed to the bottom of Lucheng City with lightning speed, they may not be able to successfully take Lucheng.

After all, Lucheng is too close to the royal capital, and the distance between the two is only four hundred miles, which means that the elite army cannot take Lucheng in half a day, and it will fall into a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy, and how can the elite army take Lucheng, which has a deployment and defense array, in half a day?

I can't do a raid if I want to.

They don't understand how many elites and masters the Demon God Temple and the Tibetan Qiang Kingdom hide inside Lucheng, Lucheng doesn't seem to be very fortified in front of it, but how many elites have to be sent to raid and control a corner of Lucheng, so that Lucheng's defensive array can't play a role?

And He Rong, the lord of Changle City, did not publicly stand up to support Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other traitors, but after the fall of the Ye family, he sent a large number of elites and strong people to Lucheng under the cover of caravans, which sounded like Lucheng at this time was more like a lore trap for the elite army and the Dong family.

Qi Hanjiang thought about it at this time, and said: "Since these dog thieves have set a trap in Lucheng, we can't get into his trap, we will abandon Lucheng and seize Xuanfeng City in the northwest." I don't believe it, the Tibetan Qiang Kingdom and the Demon God Temple also have such a gloomy layout in Xuanfeng City. ”

Xuanfeng City, located in the northeast corner of the Pinglu Oasis and forming an equilateral triangle with Black Mountain and Songyang Lake, is also neutral.

Chen Hai shook his head, Xuan Fengcheng was only the worst alternative in his mind, and said: "The situation is different from what we initially expected, since the Demon God Temple and the Tibetan Qiang State are so deep, if we act rashly against the insignificant Xuanfeng City, it is very likely that a neutral city like Lucheng will quickly fall to Zhang and Kong rebels, and when the time comes, before we can gain a firm foothold in Xuanfeng City, Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other rebels may lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to surround it, and this battle will be difficult to fight." ”

"Then that's what beats the mother. Qi Hanjiang said.

Chen Hai shook his head slightly and smiled, the repeater crossbow chariot and quenching arrows that the Elite Army had compiled at this time were too limited. He led the elite army and the royal army led by Ye Qinglin to cooperate in the battle, he was confident that he would defeat about twice as many enemy troops, but any more would be a bit risky; and once Zhang, Kong and other thieves could gather more than 100,000 troops at a time, it would form an absolute strength gap, he could not divide and attack, and finally could only give up Xuanfeng City gloomily, defeated and retreated to Montenegro, at that time, the good chess won at this time would be lost, but help Zhang, Kong and other thieves quickly unify the Pinglu Oasis.

Besides, the elite army has secret war chess such as crossbow chariots, but the demon god temple and the Tibetan Qiang country behind the rebels such as Zhang and Kong are supported, how can they not have hole cards, how can they continue to be regarded as horse thieves and miscellaneous soldiers?

"Then what should I do, I won't fight when I return to Montenegro?" Qi Hanjiang asked.

"If you want to fight or fight Lucheng," Chen Hai said with a smile, and asked Du Linan again, "I want to attack Lucheng, what is the best strategy for Director Du to weaken the strategy of the Demon God Zang and the Tibetan Qiang Kingdom in Lucheng?"
