As a follow-up supplement, the Ye clan, the Jingjue Duhufu and the He clan will allow the Demon God Temple and the Taiwei Sect to set up Taoist temples or guild halls in Lucheng, Changle City and Xiqiang Wangcheng at the same time, and will also ensure that the trade routes starting from Tieliuling and crossing the eastern region of Jinzhou will remain unimpeded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The core goal of the Dong clan is to ensure that the western side is no longer threatened by Qianghu.

At this time, with Lucheng and the Elite Capital Protectorate as a buffer, and being able to directly set up Taoist academies and guild halls in Lucheng, Xiqiang Wangcheng and Changle City, it is undoubtedly an acceptable situation to maintain sufficient penetration and influence; even if there is dissatisfaction, they will not choose to intensify the conflict at this time.

They also knew for a long time that although Chen Hai was a disciple of the Taiwei Sect, he was not controlled by them.

By maintaining the smooth flow of trade routes, the Dong clan would be able to continuously trade scarce information from the Jinzhou regions to make up for the shortage of Hexi.

The Demon God Temple failed to prevent the alliance between the Ye clan and the Dong clan, nor did it expel the forces of the Taiwei Sect from the Pinglu Oasis, but instead made the power of the Taiwei Sect in the Pinglu Oasis greatly strengthened, and finally had to give up the rebels of Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng who were secretly supported, but after the fiasco of Yuchicheng, they could actually occupy Changle City, and even after the war, the strength of Changle City was greatly strengthened after many small and medium-sized clans moved in, and it was difficult for them to raise any dissatisfaction.

The Ye clan was the most seriously injured in this turmoil, and because it was the most seriously injured, if they wanted to maintain their rule over the Pinglu Oasis in the future, they still had to rely on the support of the Jingjie Army and the Taiwei Sect, so it was difficult to raise objections.

For Ye Qinglin personally, gaining the support of the Elite Army and the Taiwei Sect and officially ascending the throne to continue the position of the lord of the country may be the most important thing at this time.

At this time, there were still the Ye clan and the clan lords loyal to the Ye clan, as well as thousands of children and relatives who were imprisoned by Zhang Xiong in Xiqiang Wangcheng, in order to avoid the death of this brother again, they could only accept the surrender conditions led by Chen Hai, Taiwei Sect and the Demon God Temple.

Of course, as compensation for the Ye clan, Chen Hai handed over the six Shenji chariots, forty Shenji repeaters, and one hundred counterweight-type catapults to the Ye royal army to take over, so as to ensure that the Ye clan would not be threatened by Changle City and the Tibetan Qiang Kingdom in a short time.

On the last day of March of the 77th year of Emperor Yitian, Zhang Xiong, under the supervision of Ge Xuanqiao and Miao Mingcheng, surrendered to the Jingjie army under the command of the rebel spirits, and Zhang Xiong and dozens of generals and 20,000 generals of Yuchicheng were temporarily imprisoned in Lucheng as prisoners of war.

Yuchicheng was temporarily defended by the elite army, while Ye Qinglin led 60,000 soldiers and horses to the west to take over the Xiqiang Wangcheng.

In the following month, Du Linan and Yue Yiran, on behalf of the Taiwei Sect and the Demon God Temple, respectively, supervised Zhang Jun, Kong Peng, and the rebel Zhang Tianai and Zhang Jun's descendants and relatives in Tianai Mountain, about 9,000 people, withdrew from the southern shore of the Pinglu Sea and stepped into the journey to the Tahe Oasis 3,000 miles away.

Tianai Mountain and tens of thousands of children and relatives of the Zhang clan and affiliated clans will be exiled and temporarily moved to Lucheng for resettlement.

In addition, there are more than a dozen small and medium-sized clans who are worried that they will be purged afterwards, and the total number of more than 40,000 clansmen has moved out from the vicinity of Tianai Mountain and Xiqiang Wangcheng, retreated to Changle City, and defected to the He clan, which is supported by the Demon God Temple.

After the remnants of the Zhang clan were expelled from Tianai Mountain, Ye Qinglin gave the three cities near Tianai Mountain to Zhou Gu Yang to strengthen his rule over the southern shore of Pinglu Sea;

After the war, Lucheng took in the disabled prisoners of war, and joined the relatives of the children who were exiled after the war, with a total of more than 50,000 people.

These wounded prisoners included horse thieves, the children of the Zhang clan and its subordinate clan lords, the generals of the northern and southern armies of the former Xiqiang State who were forced to obey the thieves, and the rebels who forcibly recruited from the Xiqiang Wangcheng and the area near Tianai Mountain.

In order to strengthen the strength of the severely damaged Ye clan, Ye Qinglin also intended to first implement the government military system on the land cleared by the Zhang clan and other clans, and these prisoners of war and their relatives who were convicted of the crime were the first batch to be incorporated into the military government directly under the Ye clan.

The Zhang family and its affiliated sects were more distant by blood and did not have many collateral descendants who had cultivated as a foundation, plus relatives, sons and nephews who moved eastward, more than 16,000 people, all of whom were directly incorporated into the military government in Lucheng to develop small and medium-sized oases west of Lucheng, such as Songyang Lake and Crescent Lake.

From Lucheng to the east to Tieliuling, in a narrow strip of about 12,000 miles north of Wusheling Mountains, there are more than 100 oases of all sizes, which are also part of the West Gorge Corridor, and will also be under the jurisdiction of the Elite Protectorate.

Chen Hai and Dong Ning considered that in the early stage, they should first choose a core oasis in the Xixia Corridor and build 32 cantonment military mansions, so as to ensure that the business travelers from Tieliuling to Lucheng will have post stations for transfer and rest along the way.

Once there is an abnormal change in Montenegro and hundreds of millions of Rakshasa demons invade the Jinyan Prefectures, these 32 cantonment military governments will ensure a large-scale and rapid eastward retreat of the military and civilians in the Pinglu Oasis.

If there were not enough transit stations along the way to provide the necessary material support, it would be difficult to imagine how many casualties would have been suffered on the way if five or six million soldiers and civilians wanted to retreat directly across the vast sandy sea of tens of thousands of miles.

The 3,000 captured elite horse thieves will be directly incorporated into the existing military government of the Elite Capital, and after being digested and attracted, it will greatly strengthen the combat power of the Elite Army.

In addition, the descendants of the Zhang family and the affiliated clan lords, plus the relatives, sons and nephews who were exiled to Lucheng after the war, and more than 3,000 people, as a criminal clan, were not exiled to Montenegro or taken to Taiwei Mountain for detention, but mixed into the caravan in batches and moved to Juquanling.

Regardless of whether other families are dissatisfied or not, for the Ye family's restoration of the country, Juquanling has made great efforts, Chen Hai has decided to exile the Zhang clan's criminal clan to Juquanling, and no one can raise objections; otherwise, wouldn't Juquanling make great efforts in vain this time?

For the remnants of the Zhang clan, exile to Juquanling, away from the desert, may be the best ending, at least there is no need to worry about the bloody revenge that may come from the Ye clan day and night.

By the time these things were generally dealt with, it was already the end of May of the seventy-seventh year of Emperor Yitian.

In order to ensure absolute control over the Lukaixia quenching gold placer mine, although Dong Ning returned to Montenegro after the war, Ding Fan, Ran Hu, Fan Dachun, Ge Tong, Han Jian and others led the most elite war bird battalion and crossbow battalion in the elite army to garrison Lucheng.

When the war bird battalion was at its strongest, there were more than 150 war birds such as the black-feathered giant vulture, but after the war, it would be reduced to more than 50 in order to save military resources.

In addition to the nearly twenty spirit birds killed in the cruel battle, sixty black-feathered giant vultures had to be returned to the Hexi Dadu Protectorate -- before the war, Dong Pu had transferred almost all the existing hundreds of black-feathered giant vultures in the Tieliu Battalion to reinforce the elite army, and most of them would inevitably be returned at this time, otherwise, it would be difficult for the combat strength of the Tieliu Battalion to recover to its peak in a short period of time.

There are also twenty spirit birds, including the iron-scaled spirit eagle, which will be brought back to Juquanling by Wu Meng, Qi Hanjiang, Han Wendang and others when they escort the Zhang clan's criminal clan;

Although in the first battle of Yuchicheng, the six-by-one Shenji chariot was damaged, but after the war, the four-by-one was restored one after another, plus the core components such as the wind array box and gearbox sent from Juquanling, the craftsman battalion built a new six-by-one Shenji chariot in Lucheng in the past two months, plus the follow-up new Shenji crossbow, the crossbow battalion almost returned to the peak combat power before the war.

The Taiwei Sect will directly set up a Taoist Academy in Lucheng, with Ge Xuanqiao personally sitting here, and will also recruit outer disciples from Lucheng and Montenegro to practice, but in exchange, the disciples recruited from the Elite Capital Protectorate will be given priority to be loyal to the Elite Capital Protectorate, which means that the Elite Daoist Academy will abolish the sworn of the outer disciples - and the disciples of the Elite Daoist Academy will be successful in cultivation, and the follow-up practice is not necessarily to enter the inner gate of the Seven Peaks of the Taiwei Sect, the choice is all in the disciples themselves, and they may even choose to enter the Demon Temple to practice, and the Taiwei Sect must not restrict it.

This is also a condition that the Ye clan and the Demon God Temple can tolerate.

Half of the gold and quenched iron smelted by Lukaixia will be secretly supplied to Hexi, which is probably the greatest benefit Hexi has gained from this war, and this will also appease many of their grievances against Chen Hai.

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

At the end of May, the depths of the desert have gradually become hot in summer, and the top of the northern mountain of Wusheling is still covered with ice and snow that has not melted for thousands of years.

The terrain of Lukai Gorge is not low, and the chill hits people.

After the first battle of Yuchicheng, Yue Yiran represented the Demon God Temple and traveled around to deal with the follow-up matters after the war, but Miao Mingcheng stayed in Lucheng.

It was also on the last day of the end of May that Chen Hai and Dong Ning invited Miao Mingcheng to board Lukai Gorge.

Since last year, Lukaixia has become the most mysterious place in Lucheng, in the name of resisting the surprise attack that the disciples of the Demon God Temple may launch from the deep mountains in the south, Chen Hai mobilized a large number of manpower and materials to build a fortress in Lukaixia at a height of more than 3,000 meters, and deploy a defensive array.

This is naturally understandable, but after the war, Chen Hai ordered Ge Tong to lead the war poultry battalion to be stationed directly in Lukaixia.

At this time, Miao Mingcheng could also realize that Lu Kaixia might have other secrets, but at this time, even with his strength, he was not able to approach Lu Kaixia.

Miao Mingcheng didn't expect that Chen Hai would one day directly invite him to board Lukai Gorge.

The city wall is 300 steps square, it can only be regarded as a small castle, because the defensive circle condenses the heaven and earth, and the outer wall of the castle made of black sandstone is covered with a faint light.

The city wall is made of black sandstone poured iron, and it is integrated with the spirit cover of the defensive array, so that the impact force exerted from the outside can be cut to the extreme, considering the powerful weapons that the castle may deploy, Miao Mingcheng also secretly estimated, even if the reinforcements from the Lucheng side are not considered, how much will the Demon God Temple have to pay to capture this cliff fortified city.

More than 1,000 acres of Tianhang Lake, there is nothing abnormal on the surface of the lake, but when he got closer, through the clear water, Miao Mingcheng could vaguely see that there were two prismatic black shadows like giant beasts lurking at the bottom of the lake.
