The situation in the Xiqiang Kingdom is about to change badly, and Baishiyu has not prepared anything yet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Fan Dachun, Deng Tong'er, Han Wendang, Guo Hongjuan and others had developed fanatical admiration for Chen Hai's military talents, they still felt great pressure when they heard the latest changes in the situation at this moment.

Who would have thought that it was the queen of the Xiqiang Kingdom, Zhang's mother's family, who colluded with the Black Mountain Kou to seek the throne of the Xiqiang Kingdom?

Out of the Tieliu Ridge, all the way to the west, the Wusheling Ridge, which stretches for 12,300 miles, lies in the south of the West Gorge Corridor, preventing human beings from entering the more desolate and desolate territory of the South Gate -- and at the west end of the West Gorge Corridor is the Pinglu Oasis with a length of more than 900 miles from east to west and a depth of 4,500 miles from north to south.

In the Pinglu Oasis, the lakes and rivers are vertical and horizontal, the most vast and vast Pinglu Lake, which is 400 miles long from east to west, and tens of miles to more than 100 miles wide from north to south, and the Qianghu people are also called Pinglu Sea.

After thousands of years of development, there are more than 60 cities of a certain scale and a population of more than 100,000 built around Pingluhai.

At this time, the Xiqiang State, which ruled the Pinglu Oasis, was one of the three major vassal states in the eastern region of Jinzhou, and when the national strength was at its strongest, there were more than 10 million people, and more than 200,000 people owned scooters and fine horses.

Twenty years ago, almost ninety percent of the more than 60 cities in the Pinglu Oasis were captured by the Great Yanxi conscription horses, and only a few cities located in the deep mountains at the northwest foot of the Wusheling Mountains were still in the hands of the Ye family and other Qianghu nobles.

Although the Great Yanxi conscription and horses were finally defeated and the Ye family successfully restored the country, after 20 years of rest and recuperation, the population only recovered to five or six million, and only more than 40 cities were repaired and rebuilt.

Even so, the Ye royal family ruled the Pinglu Oasis and was still one of the three overlords of the eastern region of Jinzhou, in addition to the garrison soldiers and horses of Zhucheng, the Ye royal family directly controlled more than 100,000 elite foot cavalry.

The Ye royal family has long wanted to rest and recuperate, and even did not hesitate to marry in exchange for a short period of peace with Hexi, but within the Pinglu Oasis, there are too many people who can't let go of their hatred for the slaughter of the soldiers and horses of the Great Yan twenty years ago.

It is not difficult to imagine that once Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun and others collude with Kong Peng and other thieves to successfully subvert the Ye royal family, they will soon gain the support of a large number of small and medium-sized clans who are resentful of the Ye family in the Pinglu Great Oasis, thus becoming the newly rising royal power in the Pinglu Great Oasis. And once the Zhang clan sits on the throne of the Xiqiang Kingdom, they will soon gather a large army and push it over to Baishiyuping.

At that time, Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng were all figures in the Dao Dan Realm, and they were all in command of the army of tigers and wolves, not ordinary horse thieves, and it would be impossible for them to hold the scattered more than 20 small oases with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Even if they wanted to defend Baishiyu, it would be difficult.

The parapet wall of Baishiling City, which was only built at this time was just more than knee-high, and the place was only twenty miles deep, once the surrounding oasis was captured by the Zhang clan and the Black Mountain Kou soldiers, and their soldiers and horses, hundreds of thousands of clansmen were withdrawn to Baishiyu to hold on, there was no meaning?

For the time being, ignoring the amount of food needed by tens of thousands of people, only 20,000 or 30,000 war horses and hundreds of thousands of livestock, how much forage can be supplied in such a small oasis as Baishiyu?

In the opinion of Fan Dachun and others, at this time, the people of the tribes will be transferred to the Demon Moon Lake, with 20,000 soldiers and horses plus 1450,000 people, and guarding the Demon Moon Lake will have a greater chance of winning.

The area of the Moyue Lake Oasis is five or six times that of Baishiyu, and the water and grass are more abundant, and the time they can hold on is naturally much longer than that of Baishiyu; as long as they hold on until the Black Mountain Kou army is short of food, the enemy army will naturally break the siege and leave.

After all, the Pinglu Oasis is three thousand miles away from Moyue Lake, separated by a vast sea of sand, and it is extremely difficult to ensure the food supply of 350,000 elite soldiers and horses.

After discussing for a long time, Chen Hai finally decided that the people, cattle and surplus horses of the tribes should be transferred to the Demon Moon Lake as much as possible, and Deng Tong'er presided over it......

"Kong Peng led 20,000 elite cavalry to besiege the remnants of Ye Qinglin's remnants of 3,000 troops at Songyang Lake, and we only had 5,000 cavalry to help, and we were almost exhausted when we arrived at Songyang Lake, and I didn't even know if Ye Qinglin's remnants would be completely annihilated during this period, was this trip too dangerous?" Fan Dachun asked hesitantly.

The two cavalry chased in the vast sea of sand, and the advantage of the elite army in attacking the fortress in the past would not be reflected at all, and the gap between the forces of the two sides was too large, and it was difficult for them to have the possibility of victory.

What's more, before they rushed to Songyang Lake, the remnants of Ye Qinglin were likely to have been annihilated, and they rushed over, what could they do except be attacked head-on by the Black Mountain Kou army?

"Even if the Zhang clan succeeds in subverting, it will take time to fully control the Pinglu Oasis, and even if the main figures of the Ye royal family are wiped out by the Zhang clan, the soldiers and horses loyal to the Ye clan will not be completely annihilated. When we rescued Ye Qinglin, we didn't value the two or three thousand remnants of the army in his hands, but only Ye Qinglin could call on the remnants of the Ye clan to gather at Baishiyu or Moyue Lake, and only when Ye Qinglin was there, could the great city lords of the Pinglu Oasis not rush to fall to the Zhang clan and the Black Mountain Kou to fight for the tigers...... "Chen Hai said.

At present, the Zhang clan only has 40,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, plus the Black Mountain Kou, there are 60,000 soldiers and horses, they subvert the Ye royal family, and they want to leave a certain number of troops to sit in the royal capital, and in a short period of time, Dingtian can divide half of the soldiers and horses across the vast sand sea to attack Montenegro or Moyue Lake.

Chen Hai guarded the Demon Moon Lake or Montenegro, and he was really not afraid of twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses across two or three thousand miles of sand sea to attack.

And the Pinglu Oasis has five or six million people and more than forty cities, once the Zhang clan is completely controlled, the final number of soldiers and horses that can be recruited will far exceed 60,000, and when they are in Black Mountain or Moyue Lake, they will really fall into a dilemma.

Hundreds of thousands of horses, it is still easy to move within a range of thousands of miles, but in the end, if he wants to use 1670,000 horses, mainly civilians and slaves, to retreat through the vast sea of sand into Hexi, even if there is no pursuer, he doesn't know how many people will have to die halfway to do it.

What's more, there is no shortage of people in Hexi, and if these people retreat into Hexi, their influence on the Pinglu Oasis and even the entire eastern region of Jinzhou will be lost.

If this is the case, he might as well have robbed Dong Ning directly at the beginning.

If he didn't want to lose all the good chess he had won at this time, the only way was to bring Ye Qinglin or other core figures of the Ye clan to Baishiyu. As long as the banner of the Ye clan does not fall, not only can the remnants of the Ye clan be collected in Baishiyu (Montenegro), but also the many city lords of the Pinglu Great Oasis can be called on to secretly resist the Zhang clan who collude with the Black Mountain Kou, at least these city lords will not rush to the Zhang clan, then it can force the Zhang clan to hastily send troops to attack Baishiyu when they do not control the Pinglu Great Oasis - otherwise it will be difficult for the Zhang clan to sit on the throne of the Xiqiang State.

"If you can help me thwart the conspiracy of the Zhang clan and other rebel ministers, and consolidate the Ye clan's rule over the Pinglu Oasis, what other wishes can't be fulfilled?" Chen Hai sat in front of the long case, staring at Fan Dachun, Han Qingyuan, Deng Tong'er and the others with fierce eyes.

"Can you ask Hexi for help?" Deng Tong'er asked.

Fan Dachun and Han Qingyuan also looked at Chen Hai expectantly, they all looked forward to being able to make great achievements, but they also thought that if Hexi could send troops, the chances of victory would be much greater.

Chen Hai shook his head and said: "Hexi sends troops, and the Tibetan and Qiang countries will have an excuse to send troops, and how the war will develop at that time is unpredictable to everyone - therefore, even if we ask Hexi for help, Hexi will ignore it." ”

The Dong family was anxious to marry Dong Ning to the west, just to solve the worries of the future in the west, and would never want to fall into an endless war in the west. Before the situation was clear, there was even a tendency to fall into further chaos, and Chen Haineng concluded that the Dong family would only choose to sacrifice Dong Ning, Ran Hu and other children for the sake of the overall situation.

Chen Hai said again: "The Zhang clan was forced to launch in advance, and there were many deficiencies in preparation, and the Black Mountain Kou should be in a hurry to gallop to the Western Qiang Kingdom at this time, join the Zhang family's soldiers and horses, and control the situation in the Western Qiang Kingdom." If we rush to Songyang Lake, if the remnants of Ye Qinglin's army have been annihilated, the Montenegrin Kou army will not pay attention to us for the time being; if we rush to Songyang Lake, Ye Qinglin's remnants are still there, the Montenegrin Kou army is more likely to retreat west in advance and will not entangle with us - you don't have to worry too much......"

Although Fan Dachun hoped to find out the changes in the situation in Xiqiang before sending troops, the south of Baishi Gorge was more than 2,000 miles away from the capital of the king of Xiqiang, and it was difficult for Lingying to approach the hinterland of Xiqiang to reconnoitre.

Everyone discussed and discussed, and they also felt that it would be a good choice to passively guard Moyue Lake and take the initiative to help Songyang Lake.

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

Fan Dachun's troops and the warriors who were good at cavalry warfare of all tribes combined, did not have 5,000 elite cavalry, and what was lacking was still drawn from the horse infantry army, and they gathered 5,000 war horses, and went out from Baishiyu overnight, crossed the vast sea of sand, and swept away to the east.

In order to ensure abundant physical strength and combat strength, the military attachés at the grassroots level were distributed hundreds of medium- and low-grade elixirs, and ordinary cavalrymen were distributed with two catties of stone mistletoe honey -- this was also the key to the repeated victories of the elite army.

The leader of the horse thief is not short of low-level elixir, but he will never be willing to give the low-level elixir of stone mistletoe honey to ordinary horse thieves to nourish qi and blood and restore the physical strength that is violently consumed during the march.

Can't hope that the horse thief is stingy, Chen Haiqing suppressed the villages, and the captured stone mistletoe honey was left with 20,000 catties, and half of the five thousand war horsemen had to be consumed once they forcibly marched, even the Hexi Dong clan, which occupied the land of the three counties, may not be willing to consume so much.

Han Jian and other Han disciples received the military order, waited in the middle of the road, and on the third day, they joined the main force of 5,000 cavalry led by Chen Hai, Fan Dachun, Han Qingyuan and others, and then forced to Songyang Lake together.
