Chapter 485: Situation
The war in Yaoshan lasted for more than a year and a half, and finally came to an end before the winter of the eighty-first year of Emperor Yitian, during which the territory of the Black Stone Khanate was also in chaos. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning of the retreat of the Khan King Muhao, the king of Zuosheng, Mu Ke, did not dare to make any other moves except for secretly using some hands and feet to transfer the Mughul tribe to Yaoshan to attract the attacks of the Tuoba tribe, the Kereh tribe and other enemy tribes.
However, as time went by little by little, the Black Stone Khan Mu Hao did not leave the customs for a long time, and even in the territory of the Black Stone Khanate, there was news of the death of the Khan King, and the contradictions between the tribes that had been forcibly suppressed by Mu Hao were exposed one after another.
In addition, because of the large-scale use of heavenly weapons in recent years, the Black Stone Khanate has suffered heavy losses on several occasions, and once it cannot plunder enough benefits from the outside, the competition for interests and contradictions between the tribes will become more and more acute.
Eighty years after entering the Yitian Emperor, the flames of war have burned all over the territory of the Blackstone Khanate.
At this time, Mu Ke, the king of Zuosheng, did not have the intention of reconciling the contradictions between the various tribes of the khanate, but doubled his instigation of a bloody struggle between the tribes, and even did not hesitate to personally lead the elite of his lineage to participate in the bloody tribal struggle.
In this process, Mu Ke frantically expanded the strength of his fiefdom Zuosheng City, not only forcibly moved the conquered nearly 500,000 tribal population to settle near Zuosheng City, and completely became his vassal of Zuosheng King, but also frantically expanded from 20,000 generals before the war to 100,000 people, and at this time, the soldiers and horses directly under the Black Stone Khanate in Black Stone City were only 100,000 people.
At this time, even if Mu Hao, the king of Blackstone Khan, was out of the pass after recovering from his injuries at this time, unless another bloody battle broke out between Blackstone City and Zuo Shengcheng and a victory or defeat was divided, otherwise it would not be able to change the fact that Mu Ke relied on Zuo Shengcheng's power to fight against him.
During this process, Mu Ke has been monitoring the development of the situation in Yaoshan.
The collapse of the Mughal tribe and even the fall of the Yaoshan underground palace into the hands of the enemy, Mu Ke has nothing to regret at all, of course, he expects the Mughal tribe and the enemy to be defeated or even die together, he can effortlessly take Yaoshan and the remnants of the Mughal tribe into his pocket.
The collapse of the Mengwu Tribe, the sudden rise of the Iron Cliff Tribe, and the fact that Yaoshan was the land of the Iron Cliff tribe, the guardian demon of the Iron Cliff Department suddenly appeared to assist the Iron Cliff Department to stabilize the situation in Yaoshan, this series of events happened too suddenly, and Mu Ke couldn't understand what was going on.
At that time, Mu Ke was trying his best to annex a large tribe, unable to interfere with the direction of the war in Yaoshan, and when the elite of the 60,000 human race came out from the underground palace of Yaoshan to capture Bailu City, the elite of the Tuoba Department was forced to retreat eastward, and the Black Yan Army brazenly sent troops to raid Qinhaidu, sealing the road for more than 80,000 elites of the Tuoba Department to return to the east, Black Stone City and Zuo Shengcheng were already in opposition, and it was impossible to gather a strong enough combat force to intervene in the war in Yaoshan.
It was not until the Tuoba tribe decided to surrender that Mu Ke reached an agreement with the old ministers in the Black Rock City who were loyal to the Khan king Mu Hao, and first sent envoys to Yaoshan to observe the reality of Yaoshan and the Iron Cliff Department - this is also the reason why Yan Yuan led the Heiyan army to the south, and there was a force of more than 1,000 men and horses approaching Yaoshan.
At this time, Yan Yuan led the Black Yan Army to retreat south to Shouyang Mountain, and Chen Hailiu and the first and second battalions of the Iron Cliff Army were in Hailing Yuan to monitor the Tuoba Banner that had not yet crossed the river and retreated eastward, but the Demon Ape City was also in ruins at this time, so Tie Kun handed over the main force of the Iron Cliff Army to Le Yi to control, and he and Chen Hai rushed back to the Demon Ape City first to deal with other military and political affairs.
Tie Kun and Chen Hai were surrounded by more than a thousand mastiffs and wolf armor riders, and when they arrived at Demon Ape City, the delegation from Black Stone City happened to arrive outside White Deer City at the western foot of Yaoshan Mountain.
At this time, the main commander in charge of guarding White Deer City was Zhang Han, the son of Zhang Xiong, who was nominally one of the commanders of the second battalion of the Iron Cliff Army, but in fact he would only obey the orders of the Long Xiang Army, let alone pay attention to any Black Rock City envoys.
The envoy of Blackstone City had no choice but to send people around to Demon Ape City to find Tie Kun.
Facing the envoy sent by the envoy of Black Rock City, Tie Kun was not even interested in meeting him, and directly refused to leave the city gate.
Zuosheng Wang Mu Ke exposed his ambition to replace him, which was extremely beneficial to Yaoshan's situation, even if Heishi Khan Mu Hao had died, Mu Ke had to sweep away the forces of Mu Hao's other sons before he could free up his hands to deal with Yaoshan.
And if Mu Hao recovers from his injuries one day, successfully suppresses Mu Ke's ambitions, and brings the fragmented Blackstone Khanate together again, the Iron Cliff Ministry can still attribute all the blame to Mu Ke and choose to join the Blackstone Khanate as an alliance tribe and maintain a relatively independent status.
As for whether the envoy sent by Blackstone City at this time represents the old forces loyal to Blackstone Khan, or is loyal to Mu Ke, the king of Zuosheng, it is not clear, and Tie Kun naturally disdains it.
Of course, behind all this is to speak with strength.
In addition to the second battalion, which was destined to retreat south one day in the future, the first battalion of the Tieya Palace, after the collection of the soldiers on the west bank of the Tong River, had expanded to 80,000 barbarian soldiers, and the number of tribesmen who had gathered to live in Yaoshan was also close to 500,000.
Before the Tuoba Banner was besieged in Hailing Plain, the grassland caravan mixed between the Iron Cliff Department and the elite of Montenegro had transported more than 3 million catties of quenched gold iron from Lucheng to Yucheng Ridge five times, and at the same time, more than 6,000 pieces of gold-level armor were secretly transported into the Demon Ape City to equip the most elite wolf riders of the Iron Cliff Army.
At Chen Hai's suggestion, all the 28 Heavenly Machine Repeaters of the Black Yan Army were handed over to the Iron Cliff Army, and Chen Hai would transfer another 28 heavy crossbows and 100,000 gold-quenched heavy front bullets from Hengshan to the Black Yan Army, ensuring that the Black Yan Army's combat strength in the future would only be stronger, not weakened.
At this time, Chen Hai also set out to secretly transport nearly a thousand blood demon puppets in the Yaoshan Underground Palace, together with more than 100 arrays of the Tiangang Thunder Hell Array, to Yuchengling in batches.
After that, the Yaoshan Underground Palace will be handed over to the Iron Cliff Department to be in charge, of course, Chen Hai also left a hundred Blood Demon Puppets to the Iron Cliff Department, and when Zhang Xiong stayed to assist the military and government, he helped the Iron Cliff Department train a hundred qualified junior puppet masters as much as possible.
After one to two years, after the Iron Cliff Army was further integrated and incorporated into more sophisticated armor and weapons, Tie Kun believed that even if Heishi Khan Muhao returned, it would never be possible to raise troops to attack Yaoshan at will.
Tie Kun stayed in Demon Ape City, there were too many military and political affairs to deal with, and Chen Hai and Cang Yi returned to the Blood Demon Gorge.
The craftsman battalion that Yao Wenjin was in charge of was still dominated by Terran craftsmen at this time, and was stepping up the casting of the fine-wrought iron heavy edge arrows used in the Tianji Repeater Crossbow and a small number of real killing weapons, quenched gold heavy front arrows.
Seeing Chen Hai and Cang Yu returning, Yao Wenjin also left other affairs and rushed to Chen Hai's cabin to meet - he knew in his heart that Chen Hai would not wait for the matter here to be completely resolved before returning to Hengshan, and he might have to leave in the next few days.
When he first went north with Chen Hai, even if Yao Wenjin knew that Chen Hai was planning to resist the Blood Demon Tribulation, he would never have imagined such a situation today.
In addition to the first battalion of the Iron Cliff Army, which was deeply infiltrated by the Tianji Academy, the Black Yan Army was only because of the needs of the situation at this time, nominally maintaining a hostile posture with the Longxiang Battalion, while the 60,000 elites of the second battalion of the Iron Cliff Army were directly controlled by Le Yi and others, and they were transferred to Yuchengling at any time and incorporated into the Longxiang Army.
In addition, in addition to the more than 300,000 dependents of the Black Yan Army, the Long Xiang Army will also rescue more than 400,000 Yanzhou bitter slaves from the Hanhai Grassland and resettle them to the south of Yucheng Ridge, which will provide greater potential for the future growth and development of the Long Xiang Army.
Yao Wenjin was just about to ask when Chen Hai planned to go south, when he felt that the sky above the Jade Pillar Peak had suddenly changed, and it was indescribable that the Ice Flame Yuan was shaking, and it surged towards the underground palace from the sky above the Jade Pillar Peak.
Chen Hai, Cang Yi, and Yao Wenjin hurriedly rushed from the Blood Demon Gorge to the main hall of the underground palace, just in time to see Ning Chan'er walking out of the retreat.
At this time, although Ning Chan'er was still charming, she was a little more ethereal out of thin air, and between her gestures, she was like a white lotus swaying in the wind.
After months of polishing, with the help of the Yun Dao Heavenly Pill, Ning Chan'er finally stepped into the Dao Dan realm.
