Zhao Shan accompanied the head of the family, Chen Lie, and his wife, Chen Qing, to climb the main peak of Wangxi Peak at the eastern foot of Hechuan Ridge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wangxi Peak is located at the eastern foot of the Hechuan Ridge, more than 10,000 meters high, its peak spirit spring gushing, lush primeval forest covers the slopes, valleys, birds and beasts roar, and the surrounding peaks that are still covered with snow after summer, Wangxi Peak is a very rare cave blessed land.

This was once the hidden cultivation place of a Dao Dan Realm patriarch of the Huang clan, after the Wenhu Port defense line fell one after another, Chen Jun, the ancestor of the Chen family, led hundreds of disciples of the Taiwei Sect, under the cover of the war bird battalion, raided here, and the patriarch of the Huang clan did not have time to destroy this side, so he fled in a hurry.

Hexi's occupation of Hechuan Ridge has almost controlled the rich land on the north shore of Hechuan Lake, but if he wants to completely integrate this land into Hexi, in addition to completely expelling the remnants of the Helan Sword Sect from Hechuan County, in addition to stationing elite combat forces in Hechuan County to guard and dispatch officials to govern the place, another point is to recruit highly qualified disciples from Zhufu County of Hechuan County to enter the sect for cultivation.

In the end, let these disciples grow into the new rising forces of Hechuan County, replacing the old clan forces, and only then can they truly integrate into Hexi.

In the future, Hexi will set up a Taoist academy in each of the three main peaks of Hechuan Ridge, and it will also be the three most important outer gate Taoist institutes of Taiwei Sect in addition to the upper seven peaks.

Since Chen Lie was unwilling to go out of the mountain to serve as a general to lead the army or serve as the governor of the prefecture and county, Wuwei Shenhou asked him to move to Hechuan Ridge to practice and serve as the supervisor and elder of the Wangxi Peak Daoist Academy, which was also something that Chen Lie could not refuse.

Although the situation of Hechuan Ridge is not as good as that of Helan Mountain and Taiwei Mountains, the mountains are much steeper than the Yulong Mountain, Tieliuling and other branch mountains, and it is the thousand-year-old plan of Taiwei Sect and Hexi to manage Hechuan Ridge well, and as long as the Hechuan Ridge is controlled, not only the Yulong County in the north will be worry-free, but the rich land along the Hechuan Lake and the population of more than 20 million people are all in the control of Hexi.

Helan Mountain is extremely steep, and it is the sect of Helan Sword Sect, nearly 300,000 Hexiang army elites withdrew into Helan Mountain, together with Helan Sword Sect's tens of thousands of sword cultivation disciples, Hexi Iron Cavalry is still difficult to storm for the time being, at present, only by Du Yu, Dong Pu and others led 20,000 elite soldiers and a total strength of up to 200,000 Yulong battalion, into the west bank of Hechuan Lake Wenchun Ridge, cut off the Hexiang army counterattack Hechuan hinterland channel.

In the southeast, there were also more than 100,000 Hexiang troops who withdrew into Meishan and joined forces with the Musashi army.

What really scared Hexi was not the remnants of the Hexiang Army, which was bent on recapturing Hechuan County from the two flanks.

Although the Hexiang army has many soldiers and horses, it has been full of internal contradictions over the years.

After the Huang clan's ancestor Huang Qiwei served as his limit, the status of the Huang clan in Hechuan would be shaken by the other clans in Hechuan County, not only Xie Jueyuan had been forced to leave Hechuan by him over the years, but many Dao Dan Realm elders of the Helan Sword Sect who were not descendants were also excluded and suppressed, full of complaints.

However, in the past two hundred years, the Huang clan has not had the rise of outstanding children who can support the Huang family's business. Huang Qiwei's grandson, the contemporary Huang clan lord, the general of the Hexiang Army and the governor of Hechuan County, Huang Peiyi, has practiced for more than two hundred years, and he has only cultivated in the middle of the Dao Dan realm, and even has long passed the peak year, there is not much time left before the limit, and the Huang clan has always relied on Huang Qiwei, a heavenly ancestor, to support him all these years.

It is also because of the internal contradictions between the Helan Sword Sect and the Hexiang Army, after the Hexi Army broke through the Hechuan Ridge defense line, the two protector elders of the Helan Sword Sect, Lian Yongliang and Hua Yanming, secretly led their disciples to leave Helan Mountain, returned to the two cities of Yichang and Suyun, where their respective clans were located, and secretly ordered the generals of Lian and Hua's in the Hexiang Army to lead their troops to gather in Yichang and Suyun, and then in Yichang and Suyun Yizhi, they counted the bad deeds of Helan Sword Saint Huang Qiwei in suppressing his fellow sects over the years, and announced that he would join Hexi and Taiwei Sect.

Lian Yongliang and Hua Yanming are only about 100 years old, they are all in the middle of the Dao Dan realm, it can be said that they are in the prime of life, and there is still imagination in the future There are two core figures in the rise of the Helan Sword Sect in the past hundred years, and the Lian family and Hua are all big sects in Hechuan County, and a group of outstanding upcyclers such as Hua Zhedong and Lian Shuo have also emerged in the clan, and these two clans suddenly defected to Hexi, and the blow to the remnants of the Hexiang army was extremely heavy.

Before Hexi attacked Hechuanling, the children of the Lian clan and the Hua clan had already assembled in the two cities of Yichang and Suyun, until Hexi broke through the Hechuanling defense line, Lian Yongliang and Hua Yanming suddenly surrendered, and almost no descendants of the two clans were scattered, which shows that the defection of Lian Yongliang and Hua Yanming was a matter that had been planned for a long time.

After Lian Yongliang and Hua Yanming surrendered, the two of them moved their relatives to the county of Hechuan County, and at this time, there was Rao Lin who was personally in charge of Wuwei Shenhou Dong Liang.

In doing so, Lian Yongliang and Hua Yanming on the one hand put their relatives under the direct surveillance of Hexi, indicating that their surrender was by no means half-hearted or a ploy of the Helan Sword Sect, and on the other hand, it was to prevent the Helan Sword Sect from sending assassins to kill their relatives in retaliation for their rebellion.

After that, the two of them led 100,000 troops, marched from Suyun, traveled east along the north bank of Hechuan Lake and Qinshui, joined forces with the Qin Muhou Dong Shousuo stationed in Shining, crossed Qinshui, repelled the 80,000 Musashi army that had intended to capture Shining and reinforce Hechuan, and occupied Lingchang, an important town in the northern west of Qinchuan County, located between the northern foot of Meishan and Qinshui.

What Hexi is really afraid of is the Musashi army, which has risen in recent years and controlled the two counties of Qinchuan and Wupi.

With Lian Hua and the others in front, those large and small clansmen in Hechuan County who were suppressed by the Huang clan and had no important figures under the control of the Huang clan also changed their banners and joined Hexi.

Especially on the eastern front led by Dong Shou, at first only 40,000 Hexi Qinwang troops attacked and captured Shining, and after joining forces with Lian Yongliang and Hua Yanming, and recruiting large and small clans in the eastern part of Hechuan County and the remnants of the Hexiang army that had not yet withdrawn, the strength of the army expanded sharply to 2560,000 in just one month.

Although 80,000 Musashi troops were repelled by Qin Muhou on the southern bank of Qinshui, and 150,000 Musashi troops stopped further south in the hinterland of Meishan and did not dare to advance westward, these 2,230,000 soldiers and horses were by no means the full strength of the Musashi army.

In order to prevent the Musashi Army and the remnants of the eastern part of the Hexiang Army from suddenly attacking Tsurukawa County from the east, Hexi continued to send additional troops and horses to the line of Shining and Lingchang to build a stronger defense line.

Only by blocking the Musashi army on the periphery can Hexi calmly digest Tsurukawa-gun.

Wuwei Shenhou ordered Chen Lie to serve as the elder of the Wangxi Peak Daoist Academy, and then mediated seven Ming Qi Realm powerhouses such as Quan Ting and Xie Kun to come over to serve as the Fa Transmitter, the Elder of the Warden Soldiers, and the head of the various courts, which was also to run the Wangxi Peak Daoist Academy into an important stronghold to support the eastern defense line.

Wangxi Peak is less than five hundred miles away from Shi Ning City in a straight line, and after Qin Muhou Dong Shou's position as the commander of the Eastern Front is determined, Chen Lie still has to be controlled by Dong Shou in Wangxi Peak.

Although this was not the situation that Chen Lie wanted to see, as long as he was a disciple of the Taiwei Sect one day, there were some things that he could not control.

According to the old practice, all the clans attached to Hechuan County, all the underage descendants and the children of the collateral who have the potential to practice, must be sent to the Taoist academy to which the Taiwei Sect belongs to practice, and nearly 2,000 children of the attached clans on the Wangxi Peak side have been sent over to practice in just one month.

Although Chen Lie was determined to practice at this time, Wang Xifeng was in a mess at this time, and he had to stop, and together with Xie Quanting, Xie Kun and others, he would first straighten out the chaotic situation.

"The sect has issued an order to require all the outer sect Taoist academies to add a military art department, Zhao Shan, are you willing to serve as the military art instructor of the Taoist Academy?" Chen Lie stood on the south cliff of Wangxi Peak, looking at the sea of clouds steaming, and suddenly turned around and asked Zhao Shandao.

"Me?" Zhao Shan said unexpectedly, "I have been leading horses and carrying flags in front of Hou Ye in my life, the boss is coarse, or let Hou Ye force me to read, where is I qualified to teach military arts?"

Although under the Elder Xie Quanting, many teachings are also held by the disciples of the Spirit Restoration Realm, but most of these disciples of the Spirit Restoration Realm are inner disciples from the Upper Seven Peaks, Zhao Shan was originally a veteran in the army, and he has followed Chen Lie's side for many years as a domestic slave, not even an outer disciple, and suddenly heard that the family wanted him to serve as the military art teacher of the Taoist Academy, Zhao Shan himself felt incredible.

Chen Qing said: "Many people in the General's Mansion have a lot of criticism about their father, and letting Uncle Zhao serve as a military arts instructor will cause controversy again?"

"In the letter from the prince, it was mentioned that you and Wenyi were the son of the prince who suggested that you serve as a military instructor in the Taoist Academy, and that Wenyi would be transferred to him to join the army. Chen Lie said.

"Qian Wenyi is qualified to join the army by the side of the prince?" Hearing this, Zhao Shan felt funny for Qian Wenyi, but Xuan Nian thought about why this was the case, and he was stunned for a long time.

Chen Qing only then figured out what was going on, and asked, "Chen Hai's set, is it really so important?"

Although Hexi also got the two volumes of military training records in Chen Hai's handwriting, the book was finally shallow.

The prince Dong Chou is not to say that Zhao Shan and Qian Wenyi really have profound insights in military skills, at least Zhao Shan and Qian Wenyi cannot be compared with Sun Gan, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and others in governing the army, but Sun Gan, Su Yuan, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and others all chose to stay in Liquan, and only a few people such as Zhao Shan and Qian Wenyi finally chose to return to Hexi.

Just because Zhao Shan and Qian Wenyi had stayed by Chen Hai's side for a long time, there were some essences of the two volumes of military training records that others could not see, but the two of them could understand them more thoroughly.

With these two points, Zhao Shan was qualified to serve as a military instructor in the Taoist Academy, and Qian Wenyi was qualified to serve as a low-level soldier by the side of Dong Chou, the prince of the world.
