In the seventy-ninth year of Emperor Yitian, the rebellion of the displaced people that lasted for nearly ten years had completely subsided, but this year was destined not to be peaceful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Hexi Iron Cavalry's attack on Hechuan Ridge was kicked off by the opportunity of Qin Muhou Dong Shou leading the Hexi Qinwang army out of Qintong Mountain and returning to Hexi.

The battle of Heyang Qing and Suppression gradually came to an end in February, and the Qinwang army of the counties entered Heyang, Lichuan, Jiyang and other places to fight for many years, although it did not directly make great achievements, but because there were dozens of roads, a total of more than 500,000 Qinwang elite combat power existed, seriously squeezed the survival and activity space of the Heiyan army, and finally led to the collapse of the Heiyan army in Heyang County.

In February, the remnants of the Heiyan army retreated to Yanmen County, relying on the Tiger Ben army to be sure of extermination, and the Qinwang army of the counties was successively evacuated from the Heyang battlefield, Dong Shou led 40,000 Hexi iron cavalry, withdrew to Meiwu Fort in Gyeonggi for a short rest, and after meeting with hundreds of Hexi children who went to Yanjing last year to participate in the selection of the Xue Palace, they crossed the Qintong Mountains and entered the territory of Tianshui County.

According to the established plan, Dong Shou led 40,000 Hexi Iron Cavalry to borrow the road from Tianshui County, and should go northwest to return to Hexi, but after leaving Qintong Mountain, Dong Shou led his troops along the Qinshui River at the southwest foot of Qintong Mountain in the east, all the way west, and attacked the important town of Shining in the east of Hechuan County.

Shining is located in the middle reaches of Qinshui and at the southeast foot of Hechuan Ridge.

The Qinshui River converges with the Guan River, which flows down from the southeast foot of the Hechuan Ridge, and flows all the way to the west, and finally joins the Hechuan Lake, which has a radius of 800 miles in Hechuan County.

Hechuan Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the Northwest Region, and it is also the Hechuan Lake that gave birth to the richest land in the Northwest Region, so that the Hexiang Army still has a population of more than 25 million people after losing the land north of the Hechuan Ridge.

The area controlled by Hexi is three times the size of Hechuan County in the north of Weijiangfu in the north of the Taiwei Mountains, the northern foot of the Hechuan Ridge in the south, the intersection of Tianshui County in the east, and the Tieliuling in the west, but the population is less than 40 million.

Only by seizing Hechuan Ridge can Hexi truly be called the hegemon of the Northwest Regions, and can it truly lay the foundation for dominating Yanzhou.

After Qin Muhou Dong Shou captured Shining, the whole territory of Hechuan County was shaken, but the intention of Dong Shou's department was not to attract the main force of the Hexiang army, but to control the throat of Shining, prevent the main force of the Musashi army, and advance west along the Qinshui River to reinforce Hechuan.

Qinshui exits the southeast foot of the Qintong Mountains in the east, passing through the central part of Qinchuan County, which is controlled by the Musashi Army, and is the fastest passage for the main force of the Musashi Army to reinforce the Tsurukawa.

After occupying Shining, the Musashi army could not take the Qinhe waterway, and after the hundreds of thousands of troops were assembled, they were destined to be delayed for three or four months more if they had to climb over the mountains south of Qinshui.

After Qin Muhou Dong Shou seized Shi Ning, the 400,000 elites in Hexi who had gathered at the southern foot of Yulong Mountain, as well as nearly one million people gathered from Yulong and other places, went south, like a torrent of ancient times, and attacked and killed Hechuan Ridge.

In his early years, when Chen Hai was in the Yulong camp with his uncle Chen Lie, the Chishan City captured by the surprise attack became the most important advance base for Hexi's advance to capture Hechuan Ridge.

Not only did Dong Chou, the prince of the world, personally go to Chishan City to command the battle, but Dong Liang, the Marquis of Wuwei, also rushed to Chishan City with Chen Jun, Du Yu, Chai Zhongkai and many other core figures in the middle and late stages of the Dao Dan Realm of Taiwei Sect to personally stare at this battle that would determine the future fate of Hexi.

Chen Lie no longer serves as a general, but as the leader of the three generations of disciples of the Taiwei Sect, it is impossible for him to stay in the Splashing Cloud Cliff to cultivate with peace of mind before the important battle that decides the fate of the Taiwei Sect and Hexi.

Seven years ago, Chishan City was only a small city between Hechuan Ridge and Yulong Mountain, not very conspicuous, no more outstanding than the other seventy or eighty walled cities.

Chen Hai led more than 100 slave soldiers, Qilong Chishan City South Tower, blocked tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in Chishan City, and finally with the cooperation of Li Xianghai and others led by cavalry, in addition to capturing tens of thousands of prisoners of war, a large number of clan forces fleeing north and south of Chishan City were intercepted, forcing them to surrender to Hexi after the war, and at this time became an important component of Hexi's attack on Hechuan Ridge.

After the war, Chishan Castle became one of the three main castles on the defense line of the Hexi Confrontation Hexiang Army, in addition to the old castle originally embedded in the canyon, but also in the south seven or eight miles away in the open terrain, a new arc-shaped city wall blended with the mountains on both sides.

The walls were made of black sand and stone, and molten iron was poured into the cracks of the stones, and the walls were welded into one with a height of 20 meters and a base thickness of 20 meters.

When Chen Lie entered Chishan City, he could still see the cliffs on both sides leaving the solid mountain road seals that he had personally refined back then, and he was also full of emotion.

Tens of thousands of generals, two or three hundred thousand auxiliary soldiers, and people's bravery, tens of thousands of war horses, and larger-scale baggage chariots and horses, and mountains of grain and grass all converged on Chishan City, which was still crowded and noisy at this time, even if the area of Chishan City was more than ten times larger.

Chen Zhangli was the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion, and at this time he served as a captain in the Houjun Heavy Battalion, and knew that his adoptive father Chen Lie and Chen Qing and others entered Chishan City with Wuwei Shenhou, and also took leave and rushed over to meet him.

The earlier city, as the inner city, was the residence of the Wuwei Shenhou, the prince and the elite of the 20,000 Dao soldiers at this time.

In the courtyard arranged for Chen Lie to stay, Chen Zhang also saw Chen Jun, the ancestor of the Chen family, Chen Zhiyi, the lord of the Chen family, Sun Quanzong, Dong Pan, Xie Quanting and others were all guests in the courtyard, chatting with his adoptive father Chen Lie.

This battle is related to the future fate of Hexi, Taiwei Sect will gather all the disciples outside to participate in the war as much as possible, and Sun Quanzong will come back, this is not difficult to imagine, but Liquan and Yanjing need someone to keep an eye on it, and Chen Zhang was still a little surprised to see Xie Quanting and Dong Pan appear in Chishan City at the same time.

In front of the ancestor Chen Jun, Chen Zhang didn't have much room to speak, and he just accompanied the last seat to listen to the teachings, but from the conversation between the ancestor Chen Jun and the lord Chen Zhiyi and his adoptive father Chen Lie, the ancestor still hoped that Chen Lie could go out of the mountain to serve as a general when he came over this time.

Chen Hai has completely surrendered to the eunuch party, has to be named the Marquis of Tianji, one of the three major battalions of the Su Guard, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a complete line with Hexi and the Chen family, since Chen Lie has decided to stay in Hexi and stay in Taiwei Sect, Wuwei Shenhou and Shizi also believe in his loyalty to Hexi. Chen Lie is one of the most outstanding generals in Hexi, whether it is personal cultivation, military management, or personal prestige, and he has been idle, which is also a loss for Hexi.

Chen Lie politely refused to lobby the ancestor in person, only saying that he would fight with the army at this time, and after the war, he would still have to return to Taiwei Mountain to continue cultivating, and he would not make any other considerations before cultivating the Dao Dan.

Ancestor Chen Jun saw that Chen Lie had made up his mind, and he didn't say anything more, so he left with Chen Zhiyi, and Chen Zhang stayed and told his adoptive father Chen Lie about serving in the rear army, so he resigned and returned to his post.

Coming out of the courtyard where his adoptive father Chen Lie lived, Chen Zhang met Dong Pan and didn't know where he came from, intercepted him and said that it was the son of the world who was calling.

Middle and low-level generals like Chen Zhang, Hexi doesn't know how many, and not everyone has the opportunity to accept the summons of the prince Dong Chou. Chen Zhang didn't know what was going on, and he was both expectant and apprehensive in his heart, and walked with Dong Pan to the camp of his son Dong Chou.

Walking into the conference hall, I saw that the prince Dong Chou was sitting and talking with Sun Quanzong, Chen Zhang and Dong Pan were waiting under the eaves outside the hall, it seemed that the prince Dong Chou did not mind others hearing what he and Sun Quanzong were talking about, and Chen Zhang could clearly hear the conversation in the hall.

"I just watched Chen Lie's breath is far and deep, giving people a sense of the depth and breadth of the river, and I heard the master say that this should be the qi of the middle and upper grade Qingyun Dan, and the future achievement may be above me......

Hearing Sun Quanzong say this, Chen Zhang was also extremely shocked and delighted.

Although the Dao Pill may be Chen Zhang's dream target in this life, he still knows that the Dan is seven colors, except for the Dao Jin Dan that no one in Yanzhou Xuanxiu has cultivated so far, the top-grade Zi Dan is almost a necessary Dao foundation for achieving the Dao Fetal Realm.

Of course, it is not the beginning of anyone who steps into the Dao Dan realm who has the opportunity to cultivate the top-grade Zidan, but after cultivating into the Dao Dan realm, the Dao Dan still has two or three opportunities to transform and improve, and finally can cultivate the Zidan, and only then can he have the opportunity to cultivate the Dao Fetus.

If his adoptive father Chen Lie first stepped into the Dao Dan realm, he would be able to cultivate the Qingyun Dan, which was second only to the Zidan, which would mean that the possibility of his adoptive father Chen Lie cultivating the Dao Fetus in the future would be higher than that of the first elders of the Taiwei Sect.

In the Taiwei Sect and at the highest level in Hexi, the realm and potential of cultivation are still the core factors that determine a person's status.

Regardless of whether his adoptive father Chen Lie will go out of the mountain in the future, no one will be able to shake his position in the Chen family, which is undoubtedly great news for Chen Zhang, who is in confusion and panic at this time.

Sun Quanzong talked to the prince for a while, then said goodbye and left, and Chen Zhang followed Dong Pan to see the palace to meet the son.

Seeing Chen Zhang come in, the prince Dong Chou put down the file in his hand and asked straight to the point: "Elder Sun said that you are in the Qinwang army, Yu Zhijun has a lot of insights and is brave in fighting, it is a pity to stay in the rear army at this time, I want to transfer you to the Dao Yabing, what do you think?"

The Dao Ya Soldiers are the elite combat forces established by the Wuwei Shenhou, and they are also the personal guards of the Hexi Metropolitan Guard's General's Mansion, and almost all of the major generals and officials in Hexi have served in the Dao Ya Soldiers; if Chen Zhang wants to be truly promoted, he will have the opportunity to stand alone in Hexi in the future, and it is also necessary to have a resume to enter the Dao Ya Soldiers.

Chen Zhangneng knew that there was such an opportunity in front of him, which must be related to the breakthrough of his adoptive father Chen Lie, but he knew that he would have the opportunity to perform in front of the prince and even the gods in the future, so he still kowtowed gratefully and thanked him.
