Although Tu Chongjin made great contributions in the battles of Zuojin Valley, he could not offset the responsibility for the fall of Qintong Pass, and the previous generals were taken away, and he temporarily controlled the second battalion with the rank of captain of Huben, but fortunately, most of the military attaches of the second battalion were generals who broke through from Qintong Pass with Tu Chongjin, which would not hinder Tu Chongjin from taking charge of the army.

The Tu family, in addition, recommended Tu Chongzheng to serve as the commander of the Xiyuan Army, and assisted Fan Chun and Wen Boyuan in governing the army.

I don't know what agreement the Tu clan reached with the British King Yingshu behind the scenes, in addition to Tu Chongjin, Tu Chongzheng, and Tu Ziji, there are also many elite disciples of the Tu family and affiliated clans, and they have also been incorporated into the Xiyuan Army one after another to get important responsibilities - Chen Hai's relationship with Tu Ziji and Tu Chongjin is not bad, and since he knows that the British King Yingshu intends to use Tu's children to control the Xiyuan Army, he is naturally happy to cooperate.

The third battalion had the most complete combat strength, so Yao Qitai was the first to lead the north to recover the counties of Tongbeifu; Chen Hai and Tu Chongjin both led their troops to rest in Zuojin Valley until the end of the 73rd year of Emperor Yitian, and then they left for Leiyang Valley.

Qintong Mountain has long been snow-capped, only the climate of Tongbei Mansion is humid, and it is rare to have a snow in the cold winter for several years, but it also presents the most tragic scene of Tongbei Mansion in front of everyone.

Tongbei Mansion, a government and 17 counties with more than 1,000 large and small townships and pavilions, none of them are complete.

While besieging the camp in Zuojin Valley, the rebels spent nearly two months to wipe out all the resistance forces in Tongbei Prefecture one by one.

The Xiyuan Army regained Tongbei Mansion, and the people who fled into the mountains returned to their homes one after another, but their homes became ruins, and two or three million people became new refugees.

There is no surplus grain reserve in Tongbei Prefecture, and if a large amount of grain cannot be transported from Yanjing to receive relief immediately, I don't know how many people will starve to death, and I don't know how many new displaced people will pour out and rush to other prefectures and counties to escape the famine, further turbulent and uncertain situation.

It's just that these are not things that Chen Hai can intervene in at this time, he is just ordered to lead his troops to Leiyang Valley and join the main force.

Hundreds of thousands of rebels dispersed and retreated into the lofty mountains north of Tongbei Province, with treacherous terrain and rugged roads.

The Xiyuan Army advanced to Leiyang Valley, and further north, it was unable to spread its forces, and the small elite group fought against the more than 1,000 elite disciples of the Red Mei Sect led by Heavenly Master Gong Liang; in a short period of time, Fan Chun and Wen Boyuan could only lead the Xiyuan Army to build cities and sentry posts in Leiyang Valley, intending to block the rebels in the deep mountains and old forests north of Leiyang Valley first.

Hundreds of thousands of rebels coerced a large number of people to retreat north, and there was not enough food, so they could only move to the Qintong Mountains from other dangerous gorges; otherwise, hundreds of thousands of rebels would be blocked in the mountains north of Tongbei Province, and there would be not enough food and grass to sustain them, and they would soon collapse on their own without sending troops to attack.

***************************

Although the battlefield in Leiyang Valley has been cleared, the cliffs, rocks, and remaining trees can still see traces of thunder everywhere.

After handing over as much military affairs as possible to Zhao Wutai, Zhao Rong, and Tu Ziji, Chen Hai was also happy to be leisurely, taking the barbarian slave Tie Kun to the top of the Peerless Ridge on the west side of Leiyang Valley to watch the wind and clouds.

Chen Hai had already stepped into the late stage of the Soul Clearing Realm, and since he had mastered the complete Shattered True Intent, as well as cultivating the True Intent of Cloud Flow and Reverse Current, he could already faintly sense the existence of the Heaven and Earth Thunder Gang Yuan Qi.

The breath of heaven and earth, also known as the vitality of heaven and earth, is divided into nine natures: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, cold, and yang.

Although the aura of Heaven and Earth Gangyuan is everywhere, but its sexual tyranny, the Xuan Xiu disciples simply cannot swallow it into the weak viscera and refine it into the true element, but for the Xuan Xiu who has opened up the ancestral knowledge of the sea, in the sea of knowledge condenses the Dao Seal or other kinds of supernatural immortal tricks to shake the heaven and earth Gangyuan, and then controls it with a huge and impossible divine thought, he can exert a powerful and impossible mystical power.

For martial arts cultivation, the true meaning of martial arts is integrated into the Xuangong mastery, and after cultivating to a certain level, it can also affect the heaven and earth Gangyuan, and can increase the power of martial arts to an unimaginable level.

Looking at the low-hanging clouds overhead, several thunder and light arcs faintly resemble dragons and snakes, occasionally turning into thunder pillars and smashing down, threatening and terrifying, Chen Hai secretly felt that the Thunder Yang Gangyuan here was really rich, and it was no wonder that Wei Yuhui unconsciously stepped into the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array set up by Heavenly Master Gong Liang.

Chen Hai pondered that if he could cultivate to the Yang Martial Dao, one day he would be able to cultivate to the point where he could lead Lei Gang's Yuan Qi into the Xuanbing Battle Halberd, and the power would be as amazing.

Sensing that someone was flying from behind the mountain, Chen Hai turned around and saw the barbarian slave Tie Kun thoughtfully, and seemed to be perceiving the ubiquitous Lei Gang Yuan Qi in this heaven and earth, but he didn't notice Dong Pan, Wu Xiong, and Dong Ning flying from behind the mountain.

There are still many secrets on the barbarian slave Tie Kun, and Chen Hai doesn't want to force him to say it, so he bows to Dong Pan, Wu Xiong, and Dong Ning and says, "How come Dong Shuai, General Wu, and the county lord are also interested in running here to see the scenery?"

Dong Pan, Wu Xiong, and Dong Ning flew over, stood on the top of the towering cliff, and looked at the steaming clouds and mist under their feet and the few peaks around them that exposed the clouds and mist, but the scenery was absolutely beautiful.

"You're leisurely now!" Dong Pan said with a smile.

"According to the reconnaissance intelligence these days, the rebels retreated to the northernmost part of Qintong Mountain, five or six hundred miles away from here, and a small group of soldiers and horses even crossed the desperate ridge and infiltrated Jiyang County, and Jiyang County was put down by 100,000 tiger elites there, and there was really no need for the Xiyuan army to bother in a short period of time," Chen Hai said with a smile, "In addition, the military affairs of the first battalion are shared by Zhao Wutai, Tu Ziji, and Zhao Rong for me, and I rarely have leisure." But I didn't know that Dong Shi was also so leisurely, and when he knew it, he went over early in the morning to invite Dong Shuai to climb this peerless ridge together......"

Chen Hai's status in Hexi is lower than Dong Pan, but at this time in Yanjing, he is the general of the Xiyuan Army, and his status in the Xiyuan Army is even higher than Tu Chongzheng, Yao Qitai, Tu Chongjin and others, so he can naturally be on an equal footing with Dong Pan.

"According to the example, you can organize 200 generals in the guard battalion, but what do you have in mind when you make Ge Tong, Zhou Jingyuan and others return to Taohuawu?" Dong Pan asked.

"I guess the Red Eyebrow rebels won't want to have any big plans in Qintong Mountain, it's hard for a big war to break out, and Ge Tong and them are idle when they stay, so it's better to go back to Taohuawu to build a few more pairs of armor. Chen Hai said with a smile.

"Oh, you also think that it is difficult for Qin Tongshan to have a big war," Dong Pan said, "But the quota of the guard camp in front of your tent is empty, if you don't let Cen Yunfei and other Hexi disciples make it in, and wait for your order!"

"Ah!" Chen Hai was slightly stunned, looked at the faces of Dong Pan, Dong Ning and Wu Xiong in confusion, and said hesitantly, "Although I am the commander of the first battalion, I have to discuss the arrangements of many battalion generals and captains, and then submit them to the Governor's Mansion Fan Shuai and Wen Chang for a decision. ”

Hexi may have the idea of infiltrating the Xiyuan Army, but even if he is willing to follow Hexi's orders, there are some things that he cannot decide;

He, Ran Hu, Li Yulin, Zhou Jun and others were all officially recruited from the Academy Palace and incorporated into the Xiyuan Army, and Dong Yuan also wanted to continue to stuff more Hexi disciples into the Xiyuan Army, so he should go to Wen Boyuan, not him.

"Oh, Chen Hai, you misunderstood," Dong Pan said, "The prince just wants Sun Buregret and Cen Yunfei to stay by your side and advance and retreat with you, not to go down to serve as a military attaché." This, I also told Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen said that the Huwei Battalion is your private soldier, as long as the number of people does not exceed too much, naturally you have the final say. ”

"......" Chen Hai still didn't understand what Dong Pan meant.

"You used to govern the army very strictly in Fujiaoling, but it set off a lot of turmoil in Hexi, many people want to bring you back to the sect to punish the crime, it is the prince who knows that you have the ability to govern the army, Chang Yu, Du Yong and others are unruly and deserve heavy punishment. Let Cen Yunfei and the others stay by your side this time, and you can also learn something. Dong Pan said.

"So that's the case," Chen Hai smiled humbly and said, "I'm also stupid and bold, and I just didn't lose a few unimportant battles." If you live up to the love of the prince and lead Senior Brother Cen and them astray, it will be a great sin. ”

Before the battle in Zuojin Valley, Dong Pan would also feel that Chen Hai was able to suddenly get a high position, which was really lucky, but in the defensive battle of Zuojin Valley in the past two months, Wei Yuqi was hidden behind the scenes, and it was really Chen Hai who commanded the overall situation, and it was not a fluke that Chen Hai could hold on until reinforcements came under the siege of hundreds of thousands of rebels.

Wei Yu had already been severely injured when he retreated to Zuojin Valley, and the top powerhouses of the Dao Dan Realm at the level of Heavenly Master Gong Liang could not play their due role, which could only explain one point, that is, the killing spirit of the tiger and wolf pawns under Chen Hai was already strong enough to suppress the soul of the Dao Dan Realm powerhouse.

Meiwu Fort and Fujiaoling face each other across the river, what is going on with the Xiyuan Army, Dong Pan is still clear.

How could it be a fluke to be able to train tens of thousands of Liukou prisoners into a tiger and wolf division that could suppress the souls of Dao Dan realm powerhouses on the battlefield in one year?

Although there is no shortage of such elite divisions in Hexi, the Dao Ya soldiers are even stronger than the Xiyuan Army at this time, but the tens of thousands of elite Dao Ya soldiers are the resources of the three counties of Hexi that Shenhou has mobilized over the years, and they have been cultivated little by little after countless bloody battles.

Dong Pan has not seen any army that has not gone through bloody battles and can become a division of tigers and wolves after a year of training.

This is the most valuable thing about Chen Hai, even more shocking than his winning the first place in the Northwest Regions, and it is more worthy of the attention of the sect and the Dadu Protector General's Mansion.

This is also the key to Shizi's recent letter asking Cen Yunfei and other Hexi disciples to serve by Chen Hai's side, hoping that a group of young disciples can grow into qualified generals in Chen Hai faster......

Wen Boyuan has no opinion, and it is a clear request from the prince Dong Chou, so Chen Hai is naturally inconvenient to refuse.
