Chapter 263: The Inner Thief

For the time being, there is no trace of the invincible approaching the Montenegro, within a radius of thousands of miles, in Baishiyu's city building, training and farming, Fan Dachun, Han Wendang, Guo Hong sentenced the generals to be responsible, Chen Hai is a little more leisurely, since he has such an idea, he immediately sent four teams of heavy soldiers, 20 miles around the cliff, digging sand and digging wells, to detect how deep the underground rock layer is and the shape of the rock formation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The situation around the cliff was the same as Chen Hai had predicted, with only thirty or forty meters of sand above the rock layer, and a layer of black sandstone that was as hard as iron was below.

Of course, this is only the situation near the cliff, to change the flow of the lakes and rivers of the twenty oases, it is a huge project, you need to find out the underground rock formations within a radius of 300 miles of Montenegro before you can make a final decision, otherwise, the waste of manpower and material resources will be too terrifying.

Chen Hai set up an exploration team of more than 40 people directly under the baggage camp to be responsible for this matter.

If this thing can really be done, even if a third or a quarter of the area with Montenegro as the core and a radius of 300 miles can give birth to a new oasis, it is extremely impressive.

The spring under the Black Mountain is likely to be connected to the Pinglu Lake in the Pinglu Oasis, mainly from the glacial meltwater of the Wusheling Mountains, and the water resources should be sufficient.

After sending out the exploration team, Chen Hai led the Ma Bujun and the baggage battalion to continue on the road, preparing to rush to Baishiyu and join the main force.

As soon as he set off, he saw a dark shadow quickly sweeping from the far sky.

After a while, Chen Hai saw clearly that it was Han Qingyuan's iron-scaled giant eagle who had gone to contact Han Jian and other Han clan's disciples.

Han Qingyuan flew down from the back of the spirit eagle, and bowed to Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er: "Qingyuan lives up to the trust of the national envoy, Han Jian has led three hundred Han clan disciples to get rid of the pursuit of the Black Mountain Kou army, and he should be able to rush to Black Mountain in three days and wait for the dispatch of the national envoy!"

"Okay!" Chen Hai said happily.

The Deng clan was hit tragically, and in the end, only a dozen people followed Deng Tong'er to take refuge in Jinxiangling and fell into the grass for the Kou, Han Qingyuan and Han Jian's Han clan, more than 1,000 people were exiled and occupied the mountains for the Kou, whether it was a systematic teaching and practice, or the strict discipline and regularity within the clan, they were far from being comparable to ordinary horse thieves.

The annexation of the Han clan means that Chen Hai can select a group of qualified military attaches and civilian officials -- this is also the key to the elite army being able to truly become the elite division of the tiger and wolf.

Chen Hai trained the army in Fujiaoling and dared to suppress the children of the sect lords because there were a group of children of the Han family available, but in the depths of the vast sand sea, the children of the Han clan were not the best choice, but they were much more reliable than those daring and reckless horse thief leaders.

It's a big deal, first support the Han clan to become a clan on the periphery of the Xiqiang Kingdom, and then spend time cultivating some commoner-born children to check and balance.

"The internal thieves who colluded with the Black Mountain Kou in the Xiqiang Kingdom have already shown their heads in Yequ Mountain, who might the envoy think?" Han Qingyuan also brought back extremely important news this time, he hoped that the Han clan could get rid of the notoriety of horse bandits, and regain the opportunity to establish a clan and become a world lord in the depths of the desert, and he still hoped to establish more merits for now.

"Kong Peng was ordered to kill the whole clan by Ye Chentian, the lord of Xiqiang State, and it is rumored that he had an affair with one of Ye Chentian's princesses," Chen Hai said, "According to the situation at this time, the princess who killed herself back then may not be the one who really had an affair with Kong Peng." ”

"The envoy is really clever...... Han Qingyuan has been in contact with Chen Hai for a very short time, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to contact and talk in private, but he is also dumbfounded by the miraculous rise of the elite army, and I believe that the opportunity for the Han clan to restore the clan should be pinned on Chen Hai.

Although the strength and power of the Black Mountain Martial Venerable Kong Peng and the commander behind the scenes are much stronger, and the chance of the Elite Army winning in the end is not great, the Han clan has the opportunity to withdraw into Hexi with the Elite Army, and it is still a good choice.

Even if Han Qingyuan was not like Deng Tong'er, he could directly guess Chen Hai's identity, but he believed that Chen Hai must have a very high status in Hexi and the Dayan Empire.

This is not only because Chen Hai has such a strong force at such a young age, but Chen Hai's superb military talent is the most important talent of a great lord - the Han clan has no foothold in Jinzhou, and it is not a long-term solution to occupy the mountain, so it is a good choice to attach Hexi or Dayan.

"Zhukou surrounded Yequ Mountain, the envoy led his troops to attack the Black Mountain, Black Falcon Cliff, Jinxiangling Zhuzhai, the morale of the Black Army Kou Army almost collapsed for a while, and many horse thieves wanted to withdraw from the siege and leave, in order to protect the fundamentals, it was the queen Zhang of Ye Chentian, the lord of Xiqiang State, who came forward to make a promise, so as to appease the people," Han Qingyuan said, "At this time, it is very secret, and there are leaders of the villages in Yequ Mountain who have seen the face of the queen, and I only know about the promise." ”

"Queen Zhang's affair with Black Mountain Wuzun?" Chen Hai could guess that there was someone else who had an affair with Kong Peng, but he didn't expect that it would be the queen Zhang who was rumored to have a deep relationship with Ye Chentian, the lord of Xiqiang.

"Yes, Queen Zhang's family went back to the Zhang clan to recuperate under the pretext of illness, and actually stayed by Kong Peng's old thief's side secretly, which is also what Han Jian ......saw with his own eyes," Han Qingyuan said.

"Will you inform the lord of Xiqiang and save your little lover's husband's family?" Ning Chan'er asked playfully.

"Han Jian's escape, the Black Mountain Martial Venerable Kong Peng and the Queen Zhang Clan will definitely no longer care if the time is not ripe, they will launch it in advance," Chen Hai frowned and asked Han Qingyuan, "What is the strength of the Zhang clan?"

"The Zhang family, the lord is the male, and he is also the father of the queen Zhang, and he is one of the powerhouses of the Four Great Dao Dan Realm of the Xiqiang Kingdom; The rise of the Zhang clan was late, Zhang Xiong also cultivated the Dao Dan and rose when the Great Yan conquered Jinzhou in the west, and in recent years, he was hidden in Tianai Mountain, at this time Zhang Jun, the second person of the Zhang family, served as the deputy lieutenant of the Southern Army of the Xiqiang State, and in the Xiqiang State, the military power was under the captain of the northern and southern armies. However, Ye Qinglin led the Southern Army with 20,000 elite cavalry to aid Yequ Mountain, suffered a setback, lost his troops, and was trapped in Crescent Lake.......

Chen Hai frowned, the soldiers and horses of the Xiqiang State, in addition to the relatively independent garrison soldiers and horses of Zhucheng, the soldiers and horses directly led by the Ye clan of the royal family were divided into two armies, the northern army was mainly to guard against horse thieves in the depths of the vast desert, and the troops and personnel were relatively weak, and the cavalry was heavy and armored, and the infantry was about 40,000; the southern army was responsible for the defense of the Tibetan and Qiang countries, and the strength was the strongest, with about 60,000 cavalry and heavy armored foot soldiers.

This means that the Zhang clan is very likely to have 40,000 elites to launch a coup d'état, if Ye Chentian, the lord of the Xiqiang Kingdom, and the northern army are not enough to be prepared, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

Will Ye Chentian, the lord of the Xiqiang Kingdom, be well prepared?

Chen Hai is also difficult to think about, he thought that when he saw the batch of excellent armor engraved with the seal of the Northern Army's Governor's Mansion in the Black Mountain Village, he once mistakenly thought that there were generals in the Northern Army of the Xiqiang Kingdom who colluded with Kong Peng, even if Ye Chentian, the lord of the Xiqiang Kingdom, had some precautions, he was very likely to be misled by the Zhang family and suspect the generals of the Northern Army.

"What is the situation of the remnants led by Ye Qinglin?" Chen Hai asked again.

"The lord of the Xiqiang country should be aware of the internal problem, after Ye Qinglin's department was frustrated, he did not send reinforcements, Ye Qinglin led the remnants to break through and return to the Xiqiang country, but he was frustrated several times, and at this time there were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses surrounded by Songyang Lake...... "Han Qingyuan said.

"That's not far away. Chen Hai said with emotion.

Han Qingyuan rode away the iron-scaled giant eagle, and the reconnaissance range of the elite army was limited, so he could only put the reconnaissance cavalry seven or eight hundred miles away, and he didn't know that Ye Qinglin's remnants had fought several times with the Black Mountain Kou army, and it was only more than two thousand miles away from them.

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

When Han Qingyuan returned, Chen Hai did not delay halfway, leaving the heavy battalion and the 2,000 horse infantry army slowly, and he rushed to Baishiyu with Ning Chan'er and Han Qingyuan first to join the main force.

It is said that it is Baishiyu, two or three hundred zhang high stone ridge, mainly composed of black sandstone layers, only in the depths of the stone ridge, there is a section of Baishi Valley 100 meters deep, so it is named Baishiyu.

Baishiyu, the east and west of the stone ridge are about four miles long, there are several springs distributed in the south foot of the stone ridge, several streams and rivers bend and mean, ten miles away in the south of the mountain, converge into a lake of a thousand acres of square circle.

With this lake as the center, the Baishiyu Oasis is about 400 square miles long, with lush grass and trees.

After the Black Mountain Kou occupied Montenegro, in order to prevent the surrounding tribes from breeding resistance, they forced the tribes of Baishiling to demolish the walled city.

More than 1,000 houses are scattered between the stone ridge and the lake, and after Fan Dachun, Han Wendang, and Guo Hongju arrived with the main force, they have already started to build a new city wall on the previously destroyed wall, but this is not something that can be done in three or five days.

In the oasis, soil is a precious resource, and it cannot be mined casually, but fortunately, it is necessary to annihilate the Guhou mountain horse thief and obtain a set of flame gathering talisman arrays for refining.

This set of flame gathering rune arrays is of extraordinary grade, and the flame temperature formed by the condensed Xuanyang Gang can be enough to smelt thousands of catties of quenched iron at one time, and the many refining furnaces built by Juquanling are also using this level of flame gathering rune arrays.

At this time, there was no quenched iron material to smelt, so Fan Dachun and his team built a molten sand smelting furnace on the basis of this set of flame-gathering rune arrays, and the large bricks made by sand mining were stronger than black sandstone; at this time, combined with four or five thousand laborers entering the stone ridge to mine stones, they could speed up the speed of building the city.

At this time, even if a half-meter-high parapet wall is built around the walled city, it is much better than being completely unobstructed.

At its peak, there were more than 30,000 people living and breeding here, and in this area controlled by the Black Mountain Kou, a large number of people were exiled or persecuted, and the number of people dropped to less than 10,000.

At this time, more than 15,000 people gathered in the main force of the elite army, and the freed slaves from Guhushan and other villages also continued to move to this side, and Baishiyu suddenly became lively again.

Although the Baishiyu Oasis is not small in scope and the water resources are quite abundant, the pressure on the gathering of 40,000 or 50,000 people and the transfer of a large number of livestock and horses is still extremely high.

Chen Hai rushed to Baishiyu and first summoned Fan Dachun, Guo Hongju, Han Wendang and other generals to discuss the matter, and informed everyone of the situation of the Zhang family.
