The more than a dozen black-feathered giant vultures made up by the northern warehouse of Tongbei are not xenomorphs with particularly excellent bloodlines, but they can also grab thousands of pounds of grain bags and fly over the mountains. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThese black-feathered giant vultures have been domesticated and spiritualized, and under the control of the vulture tamer, they flew to the sky above the camp of the Wandering Army, tore up the grain bags, and let the thousands of pounds of grain be sprinkled directly into the camp below.

This is done to prevent the small amount of food from being intercepted by the displaced army generals who are stranded in the camps, so as to ensure that more hungry people can get food and save their lives.

The cold Gangfeng howling above the Peerless Ridge, these Gangwinds can directly hurt the souls of humans and beasts, even if the Xuanxiu disciples of the Spirit Clearing Realm stand on the top of those snow-covered Ten Thousand Peerless Mountains, they will feel that it is difficult to breathe, and the skin and flesh on their bodies seem to be about to be blown off by the Gangfeng.

And the valley stream between the snow peaks is also mostly above the snow line, and the cold wind is howling, and it is like a thousand needles piercing the bones.

Fortunately, Chen Hai transferred more than a dozen giant vultures to take turns this time, flew three or five times a day, and threw five or six thousand catties of grain into each homeless camp, which could barely save the lives of those hungry people.

At this time, at the northern foot of Yehuling, which was still regarded as a "battlefield," the baggage battalion and the main force of the vanguard led by Tu Ziji were still advancing slowly; the work of collecting prisoners of war and providing relief to the hungry was carried out in an orderly manner, and the work was done in a very meticulous and time-consuming manner.

When the soldiers opened the third camp of the Wandering People's Army without blood, Yao Xuan and the others also came back to their senses at this time, and only then did they realize that something was wrong.

A few years ago, hundreds of thousands of rebels coerced a large number of people in Tongbei Province to flee into the deep mountains of the northern foothills, although a large number of people had starved to death before, and corpses were everywhere, filling the desperate valleys around the camps, but logically speaking, the proportion of surviving rebel generals in these camps should not be lower than the starving people of Qintong who were coerced.

Occupy every camp of displaced people, and the prisoners of war and the hungry will be counted.

When the third camp of the Displaced People's Army was occupied, the number of rebel prisoners of war collected by the front was less than 50,000, and in addition, there were more than 200,000 hungry people who were coerced out of Tongbei Prefecture and the old and weak women and children who were still alive among the rebels.

Seeing such a ratio, Yao Xuan would be too slow if he was really not suspicious.

Yao Xuan, along with his father Yao Qitai, participated in almost all the Qintong battles from beginning to end, especially when he retreated to Zuojin Valley with Chen Hai, he saw with his own eyes that the rebels gathered at the northern foot of Qintong Mountain were at their most powerful at that time.

At that time, in addition to the rebel army of the displaced people, there were nearly 100,000 elite thieves and soldiers with black scarves on their heads and all armor; before the main force of the Xiyuan Army rushed to help, the rebel generals who withdrew to the deep mountains at the northern foot of the Qintong Mountains in advance did not have 780,000, and they would not be less than 500,000.

The rebels left the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children, as well as the hungry people who were bound north, deep in the mountains, so where did so many homeless soldiers and nearly 100,000 black-scarf thieves and soldiers go? Could it be that they have already flown out of Qintong Mountain?

Yao Xuan was not stupid after all, after seeing the suspicions, he immediately led his guards to leave Yehuling in advance, and he had no intention of participating in the follow-up battle, so he returned directly to Leiyang Valley.

Chen Hai didn't care what Yao Qitai, Yao Xuan's father and son, and other generals loyal to the crown prince Ying Dan would do after discovering all this, and he didn't care whether Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun were determined to kill the killers and directly detain or kill all the generals loyal to Ying Dan -- Chen Hai, with the cooperation of Tu Ziji, Fan Cheng, and others, continued to do the business of helping the hungry.

Although the Wandering People's Army left more than 100,000 soldiers in the camp around Yehuling, by this moment, there were still 70,000 or 80,000 people left, all of whom were so weak that they had no combat power.

In addition, nearly 300,000 people in Tongbei Prefecture, who were previously coerced into the mountains by the rebels, are still alive.

Ignoring the large number of casualties along the way, only the valleys near the camp of the Wandering Army were cleaned up, and nearly 200,000 corpses were accumulated, and Chen Hai could even sense that these valleys were full of resentment.

Chen Hai had no good impression of the Red Mei Sect before, and at this moment, he doubted whether it was a correct decision for Fang Leyi to bring the "Record of Military Training" back to the Red Mei Sect.

Of course, Chen Hai's feelings for this land are still indifferent.

The impact on Su Aya's heart was too violent, although she tried her best to endure in front of Chen Hai, not wanting to expose her true thoughts to Chen Hai, but she almost went mad in her two cultivations, and her feet and hands were torn and severely damaged, and she finally cultivated to the late stage of the Spirit Clearing Realm, and suddenly retreated to the middle stage of the Spirit Clearing Realm.

The blow to the Xuan Xiu disciples can be said to be extremely fatal, which may mean that she will never be able to return to her previous cultivation in this life - Chen Hai was originally abolished, and it was only the destruction of the spiritual veins that she cultivated.

Nearly 400,000 prisoners of war and starving people were extremely weak, especially wounded and sick, and even if they received food, hundreds of people still died every day, and it was impossible to transfer so many people out at once.

Fortunately, after the summer, the northern foot of Qintong Mountain survived the most difficult famine, and the grain storage in the northern warehouse of Tongbei was quite rich.

While Chen Hai organized manpower to help the hungry people on the side of Yehuling, he arranged for the hungry people to be transferred out with the baggage convoy in batches, and the pressure on Yehuling was also reducing day by day.

The hungry people who were coerced in Tongbei Prefecture naturally arranged to return to their hometowns, and some of the rebels of the exile army, who were themselves the people of Tongbei Prefecture, were also confused about arranging to return to their hometowns; more than 50,000 people who had been exiled to Tongbei Prefecture from other places were demoted to slavery according to the law, or given to the participating generals as trophies, or directly incorporated into the baggage camp to be allowed to serve as hard labor.

It's just that these prisoners of war are too weak, although after the normal supply of food, a large number of prisoners of war die of illness every day, and no general will be willing to accept such spoils, and it is completely unqualified to serve as hard labor, and some generals even suggested that they should be killed directly.

In the end, Chen Hai pocketed the remaining 50,000 prisoners of war at the price of 5 million catties of finely wrought iron or 50,000 catties of quenched iron ingots.

No matter how you look at it at the moment, it is a loss-making transaction.

Although the famine in Tongbei and Nanzhang has survived the most difficult moment, there are still a large number of people who are willing to sell their children and women, or directly sell themselves into slavery.

They don't need a hundred catties of finely wrought iron to get a strong slave worker; and the more than 50,000 prisoners of war in Yehuling are too weak, and some people will continue to die of illness one after another, even if more than half of them can survive, their bodies will almost collapse, and they will not be able to do work for most of the year in the early stage of recuperation, in addition to wasting food, they must also be given a large number of healing and healing medicines.

Wars are frequent in the counties, and the medicine that nourishes qi and blood is much more precious than food.

Chen Hai didn't care about other people's discussions, the five million catties of fine-wrought iron ingots could be in arrears first, and the baggage vehicles should be arranged first, and these prisoners of war would be transferred to Juquanling in batches and settled.

After the six camp of the Wandering People's Army were occupied, the whereabouts of the main rebel army could no longer be hidden.

From Yehu Ridge to the northeast, there are snow-capped mountains, and even the lowest mountain passes are above the snow line. However, in front of these dangerous mountain passes, rebel generals who froze, starved to death, and fell to death could be seen at any time.

The main force of the forward could not quickly cross these desperate valleys, Chen Hai and Tu Ziji personally led an elite guard to chase down the road, climb over the many desperate mountains, and have been tracking down thousands of miles to the east, and the fallen rebel generals seen along the way are as many as more than 30,000 people.

Moreover, starting from the last camp of the Wandering Army, as the road of the Desperate Mountains extended, the number of people who fell to the side of the road became more and more dense. Chen Hai could even see two or three hundred people freezing to death in the mountain col on the way.

These rebel generals must have been wounded and sick left behind, and there was no way to keep up with the large army, so they could only stay and sit and wait for death, and they did not have the strength to retreat back to the departure camp.

Chen Hai didn't know what these rebel generals were thinking about before they died, he and Tu Ziji finally stopped at the top of a snow peak that was more than 10,000 feet high, and the face of the wind was like a knife cutting a needle, and they didn't continue to pursue it eastward, Yao Qitai and Yao Xuan may have bypassed Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun, and told the Taiwei Mansion everything that happened in the depths of the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, and told the prince Yingdan.

Even if Yao Qitai, Yao Xuan, and other generals loyal to the crown prince Yingdan had been detained by Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun, they had already delayed long enough north of Yehuling - if the rebels were not ready to raid the Jiyang Tiger Army at this time, then it would be pointless for them to delay any longer.

Looking east at the top of the vast snowfield, the corpses of the rebels who were standing or lying down continued to extend eastward, becoming more and more dense in the east, and there was no end in sight.

Although Chen Hai had long expected that the main force of the rebels would use the strategy of secretly crossing and trying their best to cross the snow-capped mountains at the eastern foot of Qintong Mountain and sneak into Jiyang and other northern counties, Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun naturally pretended to be stupid and deliberately indulged, but Chen Hai saw this scene with his own eyes at this time, and it was difficult to imagine that the main force of the rebels would continue to climb over the remaining two or three thousand miles of snow-capped mountains, and how many people would survive in Jiyang County.

A quarter? a third?

There can be no more than that.

At this time, Chen Hai could not imagine what kind of resolute courage the rebels had, so he would think of jumping over this continuous snow-capped mountain and jumping from Qintong Mountain to Jiyang County......

"Ning Lao thief is in danger!" Although Tu Ziji was also shocked when he saw this scene, he was still more concerned about the changes in the battle situation brought about by the rebels after they left Qintong Mountain in the east, looking at the distant snow peak, clenching his fists and saying fiercely.

In the seventy-third year of Emperor Yitian, there were civil unrest in all the counties of Yanzhou, and the situation in Jiyang, Qintong and other places was extremely dangerous.

Under the recommendation of the British king, Ning Zhize, the lord of the Ning clan and the general of the cavalry, was awarded the general of the Zhu State, and led more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Ning clan and 150,000 elite tigers and wolves into Jiyang to suppress bandits.

The Ning family is the mother family of the crown princess, and even the future concubine Ning Chan'er is also the adopted daughter of the Ning family, and the Ning family is naturally the most staunch supporter of the crown prince Yingdan, and it is also the most powerful help for the prince Yingdan to take charge of national politics and suppress dissidents.

During the reign of the crown prince Yingdan, the Ning family naturally took advantage of it, and even did not hesitate to create a large number of unjust prisons, frame dissidents, and create a large number of human tragedies in order to seize the military power of the tiger, which also offended many people.
