Chapter 120: Dong Pan is the leader
In the first battle of Chishan City, tens of thousands of pairs of armor and tens of thousands of good horses were captured, and finally under the name of Chen Lie, there were 4,000 pairs of soldiers and horses and 4,000 good horses that could be driven into the battlefield.

On the side of the Medicine Master Garden, there are 1,000 pairs of armor and 1,000 good horses as reserves, and the rest of the armor and horses must be sold through various channels and replaced with necessary resources, so as to continue to support the use of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, and support the cultivation and training of thousands of elite soldiers and more than 300 disciple camp teenagers.
Chen Hai and the others entered Yanjing with more than 500 soldiers and more than 500 good horses with the marching mission this time.
There is a special place for mules and horses to trade in Yanjing Xicheng, and Zhou Jingyuan arranged for someone to set up a point there, but the place is narrow, unless he encounters a big customer, he can only bring twenty or thirty good horses from Taohuawu into the market for people to choose from.
The armor shop on this side of Tieqiao Lane is also the same, more than 500 pairs of armor also need to be carefully improved by craftsmen before they can be sold at a higher price, and there are 30 or 50 pairs of armor in the shop for people to buy each time.
These things were all arranged by Zhou Jingyuan and Ding Shuang, and they didn't need Chen Hai to worry too much.
The negotiations between the marching delegation headed by Ge Xuanqiao and the Taiwei Mansion and the Hexiang military envoy soon came to an end.
The Wuwei Army and the Hexiang Army were still nominally under the rule of the Dayan Empire, and neither side would enter into a formal peace agreement, but the Taiwei Mansion would issue a decree to redivide the territory of the two families in the name of adjusting the defense area.
The Taiwei Prefecture also agreed to establish a new Yulong County in Yulong Prefecture and Yanchuan Prefecture, and the county governors, county lieutenants, and officials of the prefectures and counties were all directly appointed by the Hexi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the jurisdiction and sphere of influence of the Dong clan and the Wuwei Army were officially expanded to the three counties.
The Hexiang Army lost half of the county north of the Hechuan Ridge, and the sphere of influence and the size of the people were only half of the Wuwei Army.
On 26 January, the Taiwei Mansion officially promulgated an edict that, in addition to the adjustment of the defense area, the envoys of the two countries also privately agreed that the clans north of the Hechuan Ridge, including a large number of surrendered troops and generals, including Ding Shuang and other local military attaches in Chishan County, could voluntarily choose to belong to the Dong clan, and the Hexiang army was not allowed to stop it, nor was it allowed to send people to assassinate and retaliate; while some of the captured clans and generals should choose to return to the south, the Hexiang army could contribute funds to redeem them, and the Wuwei army was not allowed to stop them.
Such peace conditions are naturally extremely favorable to the Wuwei Army, and they can also stabilize the situation from Hechuan Ridge to Chishan before the ice and snow melt in the northern region, and shift the focus of defense to the northwest.
The mission of entering Yanjing this time was achieved, and on the 28th of January, Chen Lie directly returned to Hexi with Ge Xuanqiao, but the new edict of the Protectorate had also been transmitted to Yanjing, and Dong Pan would take over the post of envoy and officially stay in Yanjing, and the elite of the 1,000 soldiers would also stay in Yanjing with Dong Pan.
Ge Xuanqiao, Chen Lie, Su Yuan and the others, without too many generals and disciples, they directly stepped on several spirit birds in Yanjing and rose into the sky, and soon disappeared into the clouds.
Qintong Pass Mountain is difficult to cross, Chen Hai and they have been in Yanjing for nearly a month, but for the giant birds soaring in the clouds, it may only take two or three days to return to Hexi, and with Ge Xuanqiao's strong true yuan mana, it is okay to fly back to Taiwei Mountain directly.
************************
"Chen Hai, you should be able to enter the palace to practice this time, and you probably won't stay in Meiwu Fort at any time, but the situation in Gyeonggi is changing, and no one knows when something will happen, so you have to designate someone to stay in Meiwu Fort just in case. ”
After Ge Xuanqiao and Chen Lie left, many of Hexi's affairs in Yanjing were officially handled by Dong Pan, and Dong Pan directly told Chen Hai some things.
In addition to the 1,000 elite soldiers of the Dao Dao, the 200 elite soldiers of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, under the command of Chen Hai, as well as the disciples of the Taiwei Sect who will stay in Yanjing to travel and practice in the future, all need to accept Dong Pan's moderation.
Chen Hai thought that Dong Liang, the general of the Great Capital Protector, must have a useful intention in ordering Dong Pan to lead a thousand elite soldiers to stay in Yanjing, and Dong Pan asked him to designate a person to be stationed in Meiwu Fort at this time, presumably it was also convenient to be able to call on the two hundred elite soldiers stationed in Taohuawu from the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion at any time.
Chen Hai considered that Zhou Jun would not stay in Taohuawu at any time, so he said:
"At the end, Wu Meng will be ordered to lead two teams of elite cavalry to stay in Taohuawu at any time, so that he can be at the disposal of Dong Shuai at any time!"
Regardless of whether there are contradictions within the Chen family, and whether there are people in the Dadu Protector General's Mansion suppressing their uncle Chen Lie, Hexi has always been a whole that advances and retreats together, and the Dong family is their real core.
Chen Hai originally wanted to use the two hundred horsemen in his hand to do dart trading, but at present, it seems that the Dong family still wants to get a piece of the pie in the chaotic and complicated situation in Yanjing, so he needs to leave enough manpower in Taohuawu so that Dong Pan can call on him at any time.
"Good!"
Dong Pan didn't know if there were any additional orders after Chen Lie left, he was still a little worried that Chen Hai would be unruly and might not obey his arrangements in everything, but at this time, seeing that Chen Hai agreed simply, he relaxed a little, and asked Chen Hai and Dong Ning and other disciples and generals who saw off Ge Chen and the others to come to the hall to talk.
Every year, nearly 1,000 young and cunning horses and tens of thousands of good horses of all kinds are sold through the horse farm to exchange the necessary resources for Hexi, and the scale is much more than the horses stored in Taohuawu.
Du Junfeng, the head of the racecourse, was the son of Du Shang, the protector elder of the Taiwei Sect, who was forty-one years old at the time, and was sent out to take charge of himself early.
However, after that, the horse farm and the horse farm from Du Junfeng below the three or four hundred good players will be controlled by Dong Pan.
And the mansion where Chen Hai and the others are at this time is also on Hongwu Street in Xicheng, four or five hundred steps away from the Medicine Master Garden, which was originally Du Junfeng's mansion, but from now on, it will be directly changed to the Hexi Jinju Embassy's Mansion, so that Dong Pan can contact the eunuchs of Yanjing nearby.
Sitting down in the hall, Dong Pan first sorted out the manpower arrangements of the Hexi people in Yanjing.
Meiwu Fort and Peach Blossom Fort are next to each other and can be regarded as a whole. During Chen Hai's absence from Taohuabao, Wu Meng appointed Wu Meng to command the two hundred guards of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion on his behalf, and Guan Xiong was also under Guan Xiong's control.
The horse farm is headed by Du Junfeng, and the Yaoshiyuan Bingjia Shop and the Dart Shop are all private properties of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, and they will respond to each other if there is anything, but they will not be directly governed by this side.
Another extremely important occasion is the Meizhu School Palace outside the east city of Yanjing.
According to the previous proportion, about thirty or forty disciples of the Taiwei Sect can pass the selection and officially enter the school palace to practice, but other disciples can also stay in the school palace temporarily in the name of study tours.
Three hundred disciples plus the guards and attendants, there are seven or eight hundred people, and the vast majority of them still have the cultivation of the Spirit Realm, what is really going to happen in Yanjing, these more than seven or eight hundred people are mixed with more than a thousand Dao soldiers, and the strength of the combat power cannot be ignored by any party.
Dong Ning, the lord of Yuecheng County, has the highest status, but he may not have too much energy when he is practicing. Dong Pan sent another female cultivator in the early stage of the Ming Realm Pei Jinhua to enter the school palace with Dong Ning, the lord of Yuecheng County.
In addition to protecting Dong Ning, the lord of Yuecheng County, Pei Jinhua also wanted the disciples of Taiwei Sect to stay in the Xue Palace, and they were all controlled by her.
"May I ask Dong Shuai, we are practicing in the Academy Palace and interacting with the disciples of other sects, but what do we need to pay attention to?"
The people who can sit in this hall are the most promising people who are selected by the Xue Palace, and their status in Taiwei Sect is not low, and they are naturally not stupid, and they have some understanding of the current situation in Yanjing at this time.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the Hexi Metropolitan Protectorate seems to have only two or three thousand people available in Yanjing, but the Eighth Army of Huben claims to have a million male army, and it can be compared with the elite of the Dao Ya soldiers, only 350,000 people.
At the critical time, if the two or three thousand of them are well organized, they can still play some role.
Now the ministers of Yanjing civil and military affairs are divided into two factions and wrestle secretly, and the sacrificial wine teaching and many disciples in the school palace are from all clans and clans, and they all have positions, so everyone interacts with other disciples in the school palace, and the difference between intimacy and alienation is exquisite.
"It's okay, you just need to remember that you are all children of Hexi. Dong Pan said.
Seeing that Dong Pan did not restrict everyone to socialize with others in the Xue Palace, Chen Hai thought to himself, what is the Dong family's plan, who will choose to support between Emperor Yitian and the crown prince Yingdan, maybe it is still in the stage of waiting for the price to sell, maybe even his uncle Chen Lie may not be able to figure out the Dong family's thoughts, his status at this time can only be regarded as low, and there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being.
Even if the Dong clan accidentally stood on the wrong team, as long as the Dong clan's roots did not collapse in Hexi, they would not be afraid of a bloody purge if they stayed in Yanjing.
After chatting for a while, Dong Ning and the others said goodbye and left.
Many disciples either lived directly in the Xue Palace, or had another residence in Yanjing City, and they needed to contact Dong Pan when they had something; Dong Pan left Chen Hai, Zhou Jun, and Wu Meng to speak.
"It's very good for you to use the homeless people to mine stone and cut wood to build a dock fort in Taohuawu, and you can supply stones and timber to Meiwu Fort in the future, so I won't make any additional arrangements. At this time, you may also have to send some craftsmen to guide the displaced people to build the barrage, so that you can keep track of their movements...... Dong Pan reminded him additionally.
"The last will know. Chen Hai nodded in response, he couldn't see that Dong Pan was rough-looking, but his mind was delicate, and he had already grasped the movements of Taohuawu clearly.
Since Dong Pan encouraged them to maintain closer contact with the displaced people, and also wanted to use the displaced people to supply stone and wood for Meiwu Fort, Chen Hai knew what to do, so he naturally agreed.
