In order to avoid exposing clues, the medicine slave was sent to Ganquan Mountain first, and Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er delayed for two days before leaving Liquan, crossing the absolute ridge at the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, and heading north into Yongjun.

Yongjun is located in the north of Qintong Mountain, the northwest of Jiyang County, in the early years of the displaced people swept Jiyang, Yongjun was also seriously affected, but after the battle of Huang Elkyuan, Miao decisively sent troops from Beiliang County into Yongjun, blocking the passage of the Heiyan army to the north, Yongjun did not suffer from the second wave of war.

As one of the nine great lords of Yanzhou, the Miao clan was a first-class clan in Beiliang County before Miao Fengshan took charge of the Xuyang Sect; Miao Fengshan ascended to the heavenly list, and the Yanzhou sects respected him as the Heavenly Venerable of the Northern Regions, and it has been more than 180 years since then, and the power of the Miao clan in the northern counties has also reached its peak.

The Miao clan and the children of the Xuyang Sect, tens of thousands, all over the counties of the Northern Regions, the Miao clan sent troops to Yongjun this time, which can be regarded as eating the fat of Yongjun into the stomach, and there is no reason to spit it out again.

It was also the clan of Yongjun that had been seriously devastated in the war before, and after the defeat of the eight clans of Jingjun in Huangluyuan, they concentrated resources on the construction of the Xiyuan Army, mainly to prevent the threat of the Black Yan Army to Yanjing, and had no time to look north. Everyone can only watch as in the short period of three or four years of recuperation in Yongjun, the disciples of the Miao clan and the Xuyang Sect have occupied nearly half of the official positions in the Yongjun Prefecture and the county yamen and local military equipment.

The Miao clan can be regarded as extending the tentacles to every corner of Yongjun.

Even if they did not experience the repeated devastation of war like Jiyang, Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er borrowed the road from Yongjing to see the countryside and hills, but the villages were dilapidated and the cooking smoke was scarce, and the population of Yongjun County fell by nearly half due to the war and the famine that lasted for nearly ten years before and after the war.

After the Miao clan controlled Yongjun, due to the changes of the demon barbarians in the north, they had no ability to continue to fight the Black Yan army from Yongjun to the south and east, but on the contrary, they had to draw materials, soldiers and horses from Yongjun to gather in the Wuyin Mountains in the north to defend against countless demon barbarian invasions from the south.

Although Yongjun is said to be the people's livelihood withering, but from Yongjun County to the northeast of Jiyang County, it is really a tragic situation of white bones exposed in the wild and no rooster crow for thousands of miles.

Everywhere you can see rusty broken spears and halberds, rolling down human heads, rotting corpses buried under the ice and snow, and large groups of scavenging birds such as vultures and crows covering the sky and the sun.

The remaining young and strong laborers were either coerced away by the Black Yan Army, or were requisitioned by the Xiyuan Army to serve as people's husbands, Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er may still see more than a dozen women and children who are old and weak breathing and recuperating every time they pass through the village, but from their numb eyes, they can't see the flame of hope struggling to survive, and they are skinny.

Farming was completely destroyed, and the few iron tools were collected to cast armor, and these extremely weak villagers could only pick vegetables and plants in the wild to satisfy their hunger, and I don't know how many people could survive the spring famine of the year.

Some ferocious vultures and crows hovered over the village, and from time to time flew down to peck at the villagers who had not yet breathed; Chen Hai saw many blood-blurred corpses along the way, and they died innocently.

"You have compassion for the people's livelihood, how do you feel when you see this scene?" Seeing Chen Hai standing on the top of the cliff looking at a village where the households were completely dead and there were no footprints after being covered by heavy snow, Ning Chan'er couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Chen Hai had a bronze face on his face, and he couldn't see the change in his expression, but his eyes that seemed to hide thunder and lightning stared at Ning Chan'er's face, which was already bland at this time, and said:

"Although the scourge of swords and soldiers is not my wish, what do I do with the killings created by the Red Eyebrow Sect? Could it be that every sword soldier and person killed by the Tianji Academy Palace must be counted as the sins of the Tianji Academy? Then before the advent of the Heavenly Machine Chariot and the Heavenly Machine Crossbow, there would be no war in Yanzhou with millions of corpses; before there was no Heavenly Machine Chariot and Heavenly Machine Crossbow, there would be no human heads rolling to the ground in front of the Black Yan Army? Could it be that Gong Liang and Le Yi would not have entered Jiyang, and they would have been captured in Qintong Mountain? Wouldn't they have killed people in Jingxiang, Nanxiang, and other places?"

Chen Hai knew in his heart that without his hint to Le Yi, Gong Liang, Le Yi and others might not have thought of crossing the peerless ridge at the northeast foot of Qintong Mountain and entering the Yellow Elk Plains to defeat the Tiger Ben army led by Ning Zhize, and the battles in Jiyang, Heyang, Lichuan and other counties would not have been so tragic, but he would not feel that he needed to bear any responsibility because of this.

If Gong Liang is not guided to lead his troops to Jiyang County, they fought to the death with the exile army in Leiyang Valley, even if they can barely win, it is a tragic victory; after that, the contradictions between Emperor Yitian, the Xiyuan Army and the Prince Yingdan and the Tiger Ben Army will intensify in advance, and the tragedy of the war will be staged in Yanjing completely, and there will never be the temporary peace that is obtained today; and at that time, the suzerainty forces of the entire Yanzhou are very likely to be involved, and it will become a battle that is completely uncontrollable. It is very likely to sweep the entire Yanzhou, and even introduce a great war involving forces outside Yanzhou.

Of course, Chen Hai would not feel that the large-scale war had been confined to Heyang, and the situation in Yanzhou might be further chaotic.

The power of the Tianji Academy Palace is still too insignificant, and it is far from enough to interfere with the overall situation of Dayan, and when the time comes, I don't know that tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, billions of mortals will die, but Chen Hai still doesn't feel that he has to bear any responsibility for this.

It can even be said that he has laid out the layout over the years, shared the Liquan with the Nine Clans, promoted the rapid popularization of Tianji Chariots, Tianji Crossbows and other weapons within the Nine Clans, promoted the large-scale flow of quenched iron into the Nine Clans, and promoted the combat power of the Nine Great World Lords to have a new improvement on the original basis, which seems to stimulate the ambition of the Nine Clans, but on the other hand, the Nine Great World Lords can become the overlords of the dominant side as soon as possible in their respective regions, which actually greatly weakens the duration of the war.

In the case of Hexi and Hechuan, whether it is a hundred years of confrontation and uninterrupted fighting, or simply adding fuel to the fire and helping Hexi annex Hechuan as soon as possible, which one is more conducive to the people's livelihood, Chen Hai naturally chooses the latter.

Since Yanzhou is destined to fall into disorderly chaos, ending the disorderly chaos in Yanzhou before the Rakshasa Demon invades is some of the things that Chen Hai has wanted to do in vainly over the years.

All the tragic things that Jiyang saw, Chen Hai couldn't bear to see it, but it would not change his mind.

Ning Chan'er killed people like hemp, and she wouldn't be unbearable for the tragic situation in front of her, seeing that she couldn't shake Chen Hai's mind, but was taught a lesson by him, she just pouted and stopped talking.

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

Out of Jiyang is Heyang. The entire Heyang County, nearly two thousand miles long, is a big battlefield that attracts the attention of all Yanzhou and even other large and small forces outside Yanzhou at this time.

The Xiyuan Army and the 11th Qinwang Army generally advanced from west to east from the direction of Wuchuan Pass and Qinglongyu, and attacked the Heiyan Army in Heyang from the west.

The British king Yingshu was the supreme commander of the soldiers and horses along the way, with more than 600,000 elite generals, and as many as 2 or 3 million auxiliary troops and brave soldiers requisitioned from Jingbei, Jiyang and other places.

The Tiger Ben Army and the other 16 Qinwang Army, mainly from Lichuan County and Ganning further east, from east to west and from south to north, entered Heyang County from the southeast and oppressed the Black Yan Army.

The soldiers and horses along the way were headed by the prince Yingdan, and the elite generals were nearly 700,000, and the auxiliary soldiers and the people were even larger.

At this time, the Heiyan army formed a defensive line in Ganquan Mountain in the northwest of Heyang and Songpanling in the middle, hoping to resist the two lines of soldiers and horses dominated by the Xiyuan Army and the Tiger Ben Army, and ensure the territory of the northern part of Heyang County and Yanmen County.

After the victory of Huang Miyuan, the strength of the Black Yan Army was once at its peak, and the remnants of the army and the hundreds of thousands of armor and sword soldiers discarded by the Tiger Ben Army had two or three hundred thousand elite combat power, and then swept all the way to the east, devouring the heaven and earth, Jiyang, Heyang, northern Lichuan, Yanmen, large and small clans or fled or surrendered, and in the Yandu City, the Tiger Ben Army and the Yanmen place There are hundreds of thousands of elite combat forces to surrender the city, and for a time it was claimed that there were millions of tiger and wolf soldiers, whether it was the Xiyuan Army, The Tiger Army, or the Miao Beiliang Iron Cavalry, could only hold on to the danger, and did not dare to rashly test the soldiers of the Black Yan Army.

However, even if the Red Mei Sect has been working silently for seventy or eighty years on the basis of the defeat of the remnants of the Dao Zen Academy, its strength may not be under the top sects such as Xuyang Sect and Taiwei Sect, but in terms of background, it is impossible to confront the sect forces of the entire Yanzhou after all.

At this time, the Heiyan Army claimed to have millions of elite soldiers in Ganquan Mountain and Songpanling, but whether it was in Ganquan Mountain or Songpanling, the strategic places on the periphery almost fell into the hands of the Xiyuan Army or the Tiger Ben Army.

In addition to the fact that the Black Yan Army still has some elites in Yanmen County, the main force is almost surrounded in Heyang County.

Ganquan Mountain, where Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er were going at this time, was the core defense line of the Black Yan Army in the northwest of Heyang County, but Chen Hai and the others had been nearly a thousand miles away from Ganquan Mountain since they entered Heyang County, and they could see the ranger patrol posts of the Xiyuan Army operating on the periphery.

There were also sharp-eyed spirit birds in the sky monitoring the earth, and Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er could only take advantage of the cover of the valley or the shady trees, and touch them step by step towards Ganquan Mountain.

The closer to Ganquan Mountain, the more dense the sentry cavalry of the Xiyuan Army and the Zhulu Qinwang Army, and the cultivation of the scouts and sentinels became more and more profound, Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er groped for three days in the periphery of Ganquan Mountain, and saw that in the west, south, southeast, northwest and other directions of Ganquan Mountain, all the mountains and ravines that could be called strategic places were firmly occupied by the 11th Qinwang Army, and the British King Yingshu personally led the 300,000 elites of the Xiyuan Army to set up a large camp in Guoziling, about 130 or 40 miles southwest of Ganquan Mountain.

The terrain of Heyang is flat, and the Ganquan Ridge that stretches for five or six hundred miles is to be regarded as a Xiongshan Ridge, Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er sneaked from Guoziling to Ganquanling, and from a distance they can see countless camps between the mountains and ravines, and there are millions of soldiers and horses of the Heiyan Army on the west road led by the Heavenly Master Gong Liang.

The reason why Ying Wang Yingshu did not directly attack Ganquan Mountain, except for the soldiers and horses on the west road of the Heiyan Army, which was the elite of the exile army that defeated Ning Zhize in Huang Elk Plain, and the soldiers and horses were mainly composed of soldiers and horses, and the combat power was extremely strong, and the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array, which was taken away after the surprise attack on Qintong Pass and severely damaged the Wei Yu Department in Leiyang Valley, was deployed in the depths of Ganquan Mountain......
