The Zuojin Valley collapsed not as completely as Qintong Pass, and the two sides worked together to clear a passage in five days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the 30,000 soldiers and horses left behind in the Xiyuan Army and the 50,000 garrison soldiers in Jingzhao Mansion, Dong Pan, as the general of the guest army, was also invited by Fan Chun, the general of the Su Guard, and Wen Boyuan, the envoy of the supervising army, to lead 1,000 soldiers from Hexi Province to gallop with the army to aid Qintong.

Dong Ning and more than 100 other Hexi disciples also entered Qintong Mountain with Dong Pan and Wu Xiong.

Although the battle that Chen Hai and the others experienced in the last two months was difficult, it was not a desperate situation, after all, the Red Eyebrow Sect was not willing to spend the rare elite sect members needlessly on the confrontation with the Xiyuan Army, and even the number of elite sorties of the Black Turban Soldiers was extremely limited.

However, Dong Ning and the others were still deeply shocked when they looked at the dead bodies piled up in the trench rift in the northern part of Zuojin Valley.

The camp of the Xiyuan Army in the north of Zuojin Valley, under the confrontation between the two sides, the terrain has also changed several times, and even the camp has been moved in a small area, the mountains have collapsed, and a cracked gorge mountain lake with a water surface of more than 1,000 acres has appeared in the north of Zuojin Valley.

There were traces of fiery magma burning everywhere, and sharp stone thorns stabbed out of the earth, and there were occasional corpses of uncleaned generals on them.

Everywhere there were traces of the sword light halberd slashing.

It was unimaginable that Chen Hai and his lone army could rely on a simple camp and dozens of light chariots with defensive formations to support the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of rebels.

Wei Yuzhi received the edict from the Taiwei Mansion and handed over the main general's talisman gloomily, but surrounded by more than 200 guards, before stepping on the return journey, he faced the generals who saw him off, and saluted Chen Hai alone.

Wei Yuzhi is a Dao Dan realm figure who has practiced for more than 100 years, and he just saluted Chen Hai, which naturally moved everyone, but everyone didn't think it was too surprising that it was Chen Hai's northern aid and resolute defense that not only kept the foundation of the Xiyuan Army undestroyed, but also preserved Wei Yuzhi's reputation for a lifetime.

Dong Ning also stood in the crowd of people who sent Wei Yuzhi off, seeing that Chen Hai still looked slightly bloated with scars on his broad face, and his stubble beard, when he returned the gift to Wei Yuzhi, his deep amber eyes still looked like those resolute and iron-blooded, it was hard to know what he was thinking in the face of the glory that Wei Yuzhi gave him.

Chen Hai felt melancholy in his heart, wondering if he would still have the slightest gratitude to him when Wei Yu knew about the calculation of the British King Yingshu and that he, Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong were all minions of the British King's Yingshu?

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

Wei Yuqi rode away in a car surrounded by Hu Wei, and the Xiyuan Army ushered in a new chief general and a supervising military envoy who had not been set up before, which can be regarded as a new page.

Because Chen Hai was surrounded by rebels and cut off contact with the outside world, Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun did not know what Chen Hai had experienced in the past two months.

The biggest responsibility was borne by Wei Yuzhi alone, and the rest was the exploits of repelling the rebels, but it was also necessary to figure out what Chen Hai and them had experienced in the past two months, so that they could be rewarded one by one by the Taiwei Mansion in the text.

Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun also needed to further understand the combat strength of the Xiyuan Army in Zuojin Valley before they could formulate the next combat strategy - Chen Hai and they had held out in Zuojin Valley for two months, and they also needed to rest and recuperate, and they would not be able to pursue the rebels in a short period of time.

When blocking the Zuojin Valley to prevent a retreat and showing the will to die, the Zuojin Valley Xiyuan Army and the people were brave, with a total of more than 43,000 soldiers, and the number of people who died in battle and were severely disabled and completely lost their combat strength totaled more than 17,000 people, and there were more than 25,000 people left, which were under the command of Chen Hai, Tu Chongjin, and Yao Qitai.

Chen Hai's subordinates undertook the most arduous and dangerous task of counterattacking out of the camp, and the damage was also the heaviest, but the combat power was still the strongest, with 14,000 soldiers left.

Tu Chongjin integrated Minyong and the remnants of the previous rout, plus the generals who escaped from Qintong Pass with him, and 9,000 soldiers, in the past two months, although the war was hard, but the Minyong and the remnants have completed the integration, after a period of rest, I believe that there will also be a tiger and wolf army.

Yao Qitai, Hua Zhedong, Shu Rong and other generals who escaped from the collapse of Leiyang Valley were reorganized, and at first they had to be organized into 5,000 remnants, and at this time there were about 2,000 people left.

"Although the Xiyuan Army has the collapse of Leiyang Valley, but they are all guarded in the period to observe the enemy is unknown, the Xiyuan Army has been trained for a year, and its combat effectiveness has been tested, His Royal Highness intends to suggest that the Taiwei Mansion officially organize three battalions in the Xiyuan Army, and also intends to integrate the 50,000 garrison troops of Jingzhao Mansion into three battalions to ensure that the follow-up war can be carried out smoothly, suppress the Qintong civil unrest as soon as possible, and share worries for the country,"

Wen Boyuan, a free-riding attendant, had a slightly sharp voice, and sat under Fan Chun in the big tent, but everyone knew in their hearts that he was the real spokesperson for King Yingshu.

"Although Chen Hai Xiuwei is a little weaker, he has brilliant achievements in battle, and he is in charge of the first battalion with the rank of captain of the chariot and cavalry, and I believe that the generals will not have any doubts. Tu Chongjin made meritorious contributions, but to what extent he would restore his functions still needed to be decided by the Taiwei Mansion, and the second battalion could only be said to be temporarily handed over to him for moderation. Yao Qitai, you handed over the 2,000 remnants of the generals to Tu Chongjin for control, and the fifth, eighth, and ninth generals of the former Xiyuan Army were all assigned to the third battalion, and in addition to serving as the military commander, you were also in charge of the third battalion, and the generals such as Shu Rong and Hua Zhedong were all assigned to the third battalion under your control, what do you think? If everyone has no opinion, then we will draft a document to the Taiwei Mansion......

Yao Qitai had no opinion that he could be in charge of the third battalion, but he preferred to integrate the two thousand soldiers into the third battalion as his descendants, rather than hand them over to Tu Chongjin.

The foundation of these two thousand generals is not bad, and they have experienced the test of bloody battles, although the number is less, it can be said that they all have the foundation of the tiger and wolf army, Yao Qitai is naturally reluctant to hand it over.

It's just that Wen Boyuan's arrangement makes it difficult for him to refute, after all, the second battalion that is temporarily under the control of Tu Chongjin is the weakest and needs to be strengthened, while the third battalion has the original fifth, eighth, and ninth generals who have been reorganized and merged, and it can be said that in theory it can be said that it has the strongest combat power.

Seven days later, the Taiwei Mansion sent an envoy to Tongbei to read out the edict on the reorganization of the Xiyuan Army, and the 50,000 garrisons of Jingzhao Mansion were also officially incorporated into the Xiyuan Army.

At present, the Red Mei Sect has frequently set off civil unrest in various places, and half of the elite of the Tiger Ben Army have been transferred out of Gyeonggi to fight, but the war has not been very smooth -- the Xiyuan Army has been able to contain the civil unrest in Qintong Mountain, and its record is already good.

In the past year, the counties have frequently erupted in civil unrest, and the strength displayed by the Red Mei Sect is somewhat amazing, and the Jingjun clan realizes the serious threat of the Red Mei Sect, and the imperial power contradiction between the crown prince Ying Dan and Emperor Yitian has been slightly alleviated.

The decision-making efficiency of the officials of the court and the Taiwei Mansion has also been improved a lot, especially when the sphere of influence of the eight clans in Jingjun is threatened and their interests are damaged, and the number of disputes has been significantly reduced.

Chen Hai's rewards and punishments for their military exploits were also promulgated at the same time, and Wei Yuzhi assumed all the responsibility, removed the title of marquis of the township, and temporarily served in the Yanxuan Palace where the prince Yingdan lived as a free horseman.

Chen Hai was named General Suwei with his first merit and took charge of the first battalion of the Xiyuan Army.

In the past few decades in the Dayan Empire, in addition to the descendants of the royal family, there are only a dozen people with different surnames who can officially be crowned generals by cultivating in the Spirit Clearing Realm, and they are all false titles.

In addition, Chen Hai was given a Jiao Marrow Pill, a Xuan-level lower-grade wolf sword, a set of Xuan-level lower-grade Fire Cloud Armor, a Xuan-level Wolf Battle Wheel and four Imperial Black Cunning Horses.

In addition, the Taiwei Mansion also gave 100 green cunning horses, 100 sets of quenched gold halberds, 100 sets of quenched gold armor and 100 Tongmai Dan, all of which were used by Chen Hai to distribute the descendants of the Huwei who had made brilliant military achievements.

Such a reward can be described as extremely heavy, and the rewards received by generals such as Tu Ziji, Zhao Rong and even Yao Qitai add up to slightly more than him, but Chen Hai knows that behind this is the credit of the British king.

Of course, this is also conditional.

For example, the commander of the 20,000 garrison troops of Jingzhao Mansion, who was assigned to the first battalion, was Zhao Wutai, the left division of Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhao Wutai is a strong man in the late stage of the Ming Realm, this time he was officially incorporated into the Xiyuan Army with the rank of captain of the chariot and cavalry, as the descendant of the British King Yingshu, and joined the first battalion with Chen Hai's deputy, Chen Hai wanted to ensure that Zhao Wutai could really control the military power, and there could be no superfluous actions to empty him.

Compared with the children of the eight clans of Jingjun, Chen Hai, as a disciple of the Taiwei Sect in Hexi, has always been a guest general.

Of course, Chen Hai would not have any thoughts at this time, and even summoned more than 100 generals such as Ge Tong, Ding Shuang, and Zhou Jingyuan from the front of Tu Chongjin's tent. No matter what deals and secret agreements Tu Chongjin and the Tu clan had behind the scenes with the British King Yingshu, he would not reach out to infiltrate the military power of the second battalion.

Cao Feng and Cao Shan's father and son finally decided to return to Chen Hai's side.

Although the Tu clan is a thicker thigh that is more worthy of hugging, Cao Feng, Cao Shan, father and son found that when the Tu clan was really willing to help Tu Chongjin take charge of the second battalion, there were too many elite children and generals who could be called, and there were dozens of martial cultivators in the Spirit Realm.

Even if Tu Chongjin treats their father well, their father and son will not have any status in front of Tu Chongjin's tent in the future, and the foundation of their father and son is still too poor, let alone occupy a place within the Tu clan.

Minyong suffered heavy casualties, and Cao Feng and Cao Shan brought more than a dozen people close to Chen Hai to Chen Hai's side, that is, they wanted to hand over the remaining 3,000 Minyong to Tu Chongjin.

Chen Hai was promoted to the general of the guards, and the Huwei battalion could be expanded to 200 people, but he still asked Ge Tong, Zhou Jingyuan, Cao Feng, Cao Shan, father and son, to return to Taohuawu with nearly 100 generals and more than 200 craftsmen and craftsmen who had been dismissed from the baggage battalion......

The roads between Tongbei Province and Gyeonggi Province have been opened, and even if the Xiyuan Army needs any weapons, it can be manufactured and then transported from the foundry in Taohuawu - it will no longer be supplied for free, and everything will have to be negotiated with the Xiyuan Army Governor's Office first.

Chen Hai thought to himself that he might have to hand over all the military power one day, and for now, it was also what he had to do now to run the Taohuawu and ensure that the power of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion in Yanjing continued to increase.
