Qi Hanjiang, who was on duty in the courtyard, heard the movement in the bedroom and asked, "Has the master woken up?"

In the eyes of others, Chen Hai is the young marquis, but after the south tower of Chishan City, in the eyes of Qi Hanjiang and these slave soldiers, Chen Hai is their lord and their lord. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hmm!" Chen Hai responded, and Qi Hanjiang and these guys pushed the door in without knowing the rules, and said with a grin: "Ye has slept for five days, and I thought something was wrong, but fortunately, Chen Shuai came to visit, and said that there was nothing wrong with him, but he was too tired......"

"It's been five days, why did my uncle come to Chishan City, or are we no longer in Chishan City?"

Chen Hai didn't expect that in order to recover his mental power, he slept in the dark for four days and four nights, but Chishan City had already been guarded by Zhang Huaiyu and Li Xianghai, and he didn't have to worry about anything, and saw through the window that Ding Shuang, Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Zhao Shan, and Shen Kun all walked to the courtyard when they heard the movement, and they all beckoned them to come in, asking him about the situation in Chishan City after he fell asleep.

"Master Hou has already led the soldiers and horses on the east flank, and he is stationed in Chishan City, let us stay here and wait for you to wake up,"

Wu Meng said,

"Previously, the general Dong Hou also led his troops into Chishan City, but he stayed in Chishan City for three days, and the day before yesterday he moved to Lingwu City at the western foot of Yanshan Mountain to garrison, but the Yulong battalion of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses also advanced to the line of Lingwu and Chishan, and Wuwei Shenhou also stayed in Yanchuan Mansion City, and there was no sign of continuing to go south......"

Chen Hai didn't expect that his uncle Chen Liedu had already led his troops into Chishan City, and then heard Wu Meng talk about the deployment of the Wuwei Army, guessing that the Wuwei Army might not launch an offensive against Hechuan Ridge this time, and it was likely to focus on digesting the area north of Lingwu and Chishan in the short term.

This is a pragmatic strategy.

The Great Yan Empire is still there, and the Heavenly Council still has a strong deterrent and dominance over the counties and towns, and in addition to the Wuwei Army and the Hexiang Army in the Northwest Regions, there are also Musashi and Shuochuan Towns, and it is impossible to sit back and watch the Wuwei Army unscrupulously annex the territory of the Hexiang Army.

In the north and west, the Wuwei army also faced strong enemies such as the demon barbarian tribes and the Jinzhou Zhuqiang.

Now it is entering the cold season, heavy snow covers the mountains, and it is difficult for the strong enemy in the west and north to threaten Taiwei Mountain, and once the Wuwei army and the Hexiang army are delayed until the spring of the next year, the west and north may not be so peaceful, and the situation may not be unfavorable to the reversal of the Wuwei army.

Wuwei Shenhou chose to make a move before the year, which should also be to fight for this time window, and should also strive to stabilize the situation in the south before the snow melts in the coming year, rather than blindly falling into a fierce tug-of-war.

"When Dong Hou entered the city, even those generals who were killed by us were summoned, but they didn't summon us alone, and they didn't even have a bullshit reward. In addition, the soldiers and horses of Dongying attacked Chishan City, and the battle record assessment given by the General's Mansion was also the third, but there was no mention of the master's name in the notice document, I was really angry that I was waiting!" Qi Hanjiang and other slaves crowded into Chen Hai's room, and finally got a chance to speak, and immediately started complaining......

Hearing Qi Hanjiang's complaining complaints, Chen Hai also felt strange.

Chen Hai couldn't even remember Yao Xing's marriage contract with the county lord of Yuecheng, so he naturally couldn't guess why Qin Muhou Dong Shou was indifferent to him.

Even in the general war report of the Jade Dragon Camp and even the Dadu Protector General's Mansion, it was strange that their miraculous feats were not mentioned, but Chen Hai was not worried, with his uncle Chen Lie here, he would not treat them badly.

In order to appease the hearts of Qi Hanjiang's slaves, Chen Hai could only pretend to be relaxed and asked, "Did the army treat you badly?"

Hearing Chen Hai ask, Qi Hanjiang and the other slaves touched their heads and said with a sigh: "This can't be done." ”

Hearing Wu Meng say that his uncle went out of the city early in the morning to inspect the construction of the two wings of the mountain and the city, Chen Hai was not busy going to visit, and patiently listened to the development of the war on the front line of Lingwu and Chishan in the past five days.

At this time, the deployment of the Hexiang Army in the Hechuan Ridge was also roughly figured out.

Dong Liang split Tiebi Mountain at night and opened the southern invasion channel of Yulong Mountain, and the Hexiang army realized that the situation was out of control, but no matter how fast they reacted, it was too late to send a large army to reinforce the front line of Yanchuan Mansion.

Not to mention the slow reaction of the Hexiang army, and even at the moment when the passage of Yulong Mountain was opened, it was still pinned on the prestige of the Great Yan Emperor Dynasty to suppress the Wuwei army and did not dare to act rashly, neither did it have time to reinforce the northern defense line, and did not even order the 100,000 elites on the northern defense line to retreat south at the first time.

After the capture of Yanchuan Prefecture, less than half of the 100,000 elites of the Hexiang Army on the northern front could escape into the Hechuan Ridge.

However, as one of the famous mountains in the Hexiang Army, Hechuan Ridge was a mountain gate of Xuanzong hundreds of years ago. After this sect of Xuanzong was annexed by Helan Mountain, Hechuan Ridge, which is rich in Lingquan resources, was occupied by many clans in the Hexiang Army faction, and vaguely became the second Lingchuan Mountain in addition to Helan Mountain in the Hexiang Army.

These clans divided the Hechuan Mountains into pieces of private land and operated for hundreds of years, and their roots were deep.

As long as you think about the efforts and resources that the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion has spent on the Walled City of Yaoshiyuan for more than a year, it is not difficult to imagine how dangerous and difficult it is to defend and attack every walled city in the Hechuan Ridge Mountain after operating for hundreds or even hundreds of years.

In addition to the fortitude of the city, most of these private walled cities also deployed defensive arrays, and the small but extremely elite private guards of the various clans were actually several times stronger than the northern defense line of the Hexiang army.

It is also for this reason that the Hexiang Army also chose to strengthen the Hechuan Ridge defense line for the first time, and the Wuwei Army was not in a hurry to storm the Hechuan Ridge at this time.

When Chen Haiqi attacked Chishan City, the Hexiang army had nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses entering Hechuan Ridge, plus the defeated soldiers who fled back to Hechuan Ridge and the private soldiers of the clans in Hechuan Ridge, Hechuan Ridge was not so easy to defeat.

In the past few days, Qin Muhou led his troops to fight several times with the small elite of the Hexiang Army who came out of the Hechuan Ridge in the north in the area south of Chishan and Lingwu City, but the scale of the battle was not large, and the tug-of-war between the two sides was more like testing each other's will to fight.

However, in any case, to prevent the counterattack that the Hexiang Army might launch at any time, the Chishan Castle side did not dare to relax for a moment.

The soldiers and horses of the Yulong East Battalion were stationed in Chishan City, and in addition to organizing more than 10,000 prisoners into slave soldiers, they also immediately built a walled city on the mountains on both wings, but these things did not require Chen Hai and them to worry about anything.

Although Chen Hai and their names were not mentioned in the report on the military exploits of the General's Mansion of the Great Capital, and the coldness of Dong Hou and Dong Shou also made everyone very unhappy, but in the past few days, Zhou Jun and the others have received no less.

In addition to the more than 14,000 prisoners who were reduced to slave soldiers, nearly 10,000 pairs of armor, nearly 20,000 mules and horses, more than 1,000 good horses that can be ridden in battle, and a large amount of property and pills were captured.

In addition to the 2,000 pairs of armor, the remaining nearly 8,000 pairs of armor and horses were all spoils of war that the generals of Dongying could privately distribute; the exploits of Chen Hai, Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Shen Kun, Zhao Shan, and even Chen Yu, Chen Quan, and others were all attributed to Chen Lie, and Chen Lie, as the commander of Dongying, alone owned half of the armor, horses, and property, and the generals were also convinced, and no one dared to beep.

In terms of battle records, Chen Hai and them accounted for at least one-third of the weapons of war under Chen Lie's name, but it was useless for Chen Hai to ask for so many armors.

In addition to nearly 10,000 pairs of armor, this surprise attack on Chishan City also obtained more than 150 magic weapons and a large number of pills from the fugitive generals and the south-fleeing clans.

Chen Hai and the others asked for too much ordinary armor and other belongings were useless, in addition to a hundred good horses, a hundred pairs of fine armor and a small amount of property, Chen Lie selected three yellow-level middle-grade magic weapons, forty-two yellow-level low-grade magic weapons, and nearly one-third of the captured pills, which were counted as Chen Hai's rewards for their military exploits, and the generals and subordinates of the Dongying generals and the subordinates of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion had no way to raise any objections to this.

With Chen Lie here, the rewards for his exploits can also be said to be not at all disadvantaged here.

One hundred pairs of excellent armor and good horses, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, and Shen Kun distributed half of them, after all, the war will break out again at any time, and this side needs to strengthen its combat power in time, but the magic weapon and the elixir are all in his hands, and he will wait for Chen Hai to wake up and make a decision.

At this moment, Chen Hai was also full of emotion, no wonder all the generals fought for their exploits, they didn't even loot the place this time, not counting the armor, horses and other property, and pills, only these more than 50 yellow-level middle and lower grade magic weapons are worth the output of the Medicine Master Garden in five or six years.

In this battle, sixty slaves, nineteen were killed, seven were severely disabled, and thirty-four people remained.

It is also the most cruel and fierce bloody battle, which can test and sharpen people's hearts.

Although Ding Shuang and other military officials who surrendered to Cheng were rewarded, and after Chen Lie entered Chishan City, he also intended to use them to govern the place, but Ding Shuang and other more than a dozen military officials no longer served in Chishan County, but all chose to become Chen Hai's private ministers, and they were also regarded as subordinate generals of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion.

One of the important reasons why Ding Shuang and their children chose this way is that their wives and children can move into the Medicine Master Garden, and they can be well protected from retaliatory assassination by the Hexiang Army.

This is also a decision that the more than forty Toucheng clans that were captured in Chishan City must have to make.

Although these Toucheng clans mainly chose Qin Muhou Dong Shou or the Dong clan behind Dong Shou as the backer to join in the end, in the end, there were still ten Toucheng clans who took it out as a war merit and awarded it to Chen Lie, as a vassal clan under the name of Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion, and they would be moved to the area south of Yaoshiyuan for resettlement.

Although the scale of these ten clans is relatively small, and each family only has more than a dozen Tongxuan Realm disciples, it is also a big enhancement for the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, which has just had a foundation.
