Chen Hai was patient again, and told Ye Qinglin, Ran Hu, Ye He, Dong Ning and others about the many battles he had experienced in the past three months with his elite army in the Black Mountain, Black Falcon Cliff, Jinxiangling, and Moyue Lake villages. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He collected the remnants of the Kou and the tribal forces in Black Mountain and Magic Mountain Lake, although he barely managed to raise 20,000 soldiers and horses, but these 20,000 soldiers and horses are still a long way from the real elite of a hundred battles.

And the reason why many previous battles were so smooth was that the soldiers and horses left behind by Zhukou to guard the thief village were relatively weaker, and the soldiers and horses of Moyue Lake and Guhushan Mountain, although there were four or five thousand soldiers and horses gathered in the end, they were actually all people and horses from various villages, and they lacked sufficient integration internally, which was much more chaotic than the elite army - Chen Hai and they conquered the Black Mountain Village for the second time, and even Han Qingyuan and their soldiers and horses who surrendered in battle contributed the most.

Chen Hai had made enough money in many battles in the early stage, but when Kong Peng, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun and other thieves completely eased up, the future wars would not be so easy to fight - Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun and Kong Peng were all people who knew the soldiers, so there would not be so many gaps for him to drill.

Chen Hai now wants Ye Qinglin to retreat to Montenegro with them, as long as he can erect the Ye clan's royal flag in Montenegro, he can collect more remnants of the Ye clan who escaped from the defeat of the Xiqiang Kingdom, and he can also contact the city lords who are still loyal to the Ye clan, and the situation in the Xiqiang Kingdom cannot be regarded as a complete defeat.

As long as the situation in the Xiqiang Kingdom is not completely defeated, then they are qualified to ask for help from Hexi.

It is not very likely that Hexi will send troops to the west, but if the Dong clan can see that they can make a difference in the Xiqiang Kingdom, they will not be in a hurry to recall Dong Ning, Ran Hu and others, and it is possible to send a large number of elixirs and armor to support them......

At this time, these are what they lack the most.

The grain and grass stored in Black Mountain and Moyue Lake can barely support until next year, but if a soldier wants to become an elite in a hundred battles, the resources needed cannot be just grain and grass, and a large number of medium and low-level elixirs and excellent armor are indispensable.

Chen Hai had previously seized a total of forty or fifty thousand catties of low-grade elixirs from Zhuzhai, which seemed to be a huge amount, but after the elite army became large, the consumption of resources was astronomical.

After many battles and urgent conquests, after a large amount of low-level elixirs such as stone mistletoe honey were consumed, the elixirs reserved by the Elite Army at this time could only support one or two more battles at most, and then they would be exhausted.

Previously, it seemed that 450,000 catties of quenched iron materials had been seized, but even if we didn't care about the needs of casting weapons and ignoring the daily wear and tear, 450,000 catties of quenched iron could only cast 35,000 sets of fine armor; not to mention that casting 3,500,000 sets of good grain armor required a large number of familiar craftsmen to spend a lot of time and energy in addition to quenching iron.

Even if Chen Hai has a group of slave craftsmen and craftsmen in his hands, he also needs resources to support these craftsmen and craftsmen.

Chen Hai could not have expected the hundreds of thousands of tribesmen in Montenegro and Moshan Lake to produce these resources in a continuous stream of energy -- generally speaking, at least one or two million people and corresponding regions were needed to be able to raise thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses, and perhaps less than half of them were really elite--the population and territory they controlled were too small and too small, so they could only ask Dong Ning in Hexi for help at this time.

"Ye Hou, the current situation is generally like this, where to go, I want Ye Hou to make up your mind. Chen Hai said to Ye Qinglin.

In any case, Ye Qinglin is one of the core figures of the Ye royal family, if the king of Xiqiang has fallen into the hands of the Zhang family and Kong Peng and others, the main figures of the Ye royal family have been slaughtered, whether it is him, or maybe Hexi, can only support Ye Qinglin to succeed to the throne of the Xiqiang country.

Although Ran Hu and the others could know some news from the captives before, after all, it was too fragmentary, and they felt even more thrilled when they heard Chen Hai talk about all this, but they didn't expect Chen Hai to be able to do this step by himself, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

The children of Hexi don't care much about the fate of the Xiqiang Kingdom, and they are even more fortunate to solve the great difficulties at this time, and at the same time look at Chen Hai's eyes are also full of admiration - Chen Hai became famous in Qintong Mountain, and there are military training records sent back to Hexi, but for the vast majority of Hexi disciples, there is no sense of personal experience of seeing is believing, this is the real admiration, and they all think in their hearts, if Chen Hai can be truly loyal to Hexi, they charge into battle under Chen Hai and establish military exploits, how happy it should be!

It's just that at this time, even Ran Hu didn't understand whether Chen Hai's actions wanted to regain the favor of the Dong family, or whether he was purely to relieve Dong Ning's danger. But no matter which possibility it is, thinking that they can fight side by side for a period of time in the future, Ran Hu also feels happy in his heart.

"Humph......"

Chen Hai wanted to say that Fan Dachun, Han Wendang, Deng Tong'er and others were righteous and awe-inspiring, and he didn't mention the details of Ning Cicada'er's initial use of the Soul Devouring Pill to control them. Ning Chan'er sat on the side, listening to Chen Hai talk for a long time, but she didn't mention her credit, and she was still a little unhappy in her heart, but she could only hum twice.

Ning Chan'er did not recover her true appearance, and it was impossible for her to show her true face in front of outsiders, everyone only thought that she was a young powerhouse that Chen Hai didn't know where to invite her, and seeing that Chen Hai didn't take the initiative to introduce her, it was inconvenient to ask anything.

Chen Hai was able to get to this point today, and he was able to ask everyone to be in danger alone, which is naturally some secrets that are inconvenient for outsiders to know.

Ye Qinglin's face was full of struggle and pain, and he also doubted whether Chen Hai's information was accurate, but there were not many options for him in front of him.

At this time, rushing back to the Xiqiang Kingdom, it is very likely that the royal capital has fallen into the hands of the Zhang family, and they are greeted by the net laid by Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other thieves.

Although the Xiqiang State is the lord of the country, the city lords have a certain degree of independence, control a certain size of the city army, have the right to collect taxes and rule the people, and the real foundation of the Ye clan is in the royal capital and several nearby cities on the east coast of the Pinglu Sea.

Once the royal capital falls into the hands of the Zhang family, it is difficult for the Ye family to recruit enough reinforcements from Zhucheng to expel the Zhang family in a short time, and if all the cities do not fall to the Zhang family immediately, the Ye family must maintain an elite and strong combat force on the periphery in order to regain the Xiqiang royal power and restore the country.

Besides, Ye Qinglin also knew in his heart that even if he insisted on rushing back to Xiqiang Country at this time, there would only be more than two thousand remnants of soldiers under his command who could use it, and it was impossible for Chen Hai to put together four or five thousand elite cavalry to obey his command, let alone the more than 10,000 horse infantry troops on standby in Black Mountain and Moyue Lake.

"Are you sure Hexi will help us?" Ye Qinglin asked hesitantly.

Ye Qinglin is also most concerned about this, the two oases of Montenegro and Moyue Lake, compared to the Pinglu Oasis, are too small, even if they can get together forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses in Montenegro, but without the strong support of the Hexi Dong clan, with hundreds of thousands of tribal children, how can they raise forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses?

"The Dong family and the Ye family are willing to become in-laws, the Ye family has encountered a great disaster, although it is inconvenient for Hexi to send troops directly, but it will never stand idly by. Dong Ning said with certainty.

When she married in the west, although her father Dong Shou was not in Hexi, her uncle Dong Chou personally called her over and told her in detail about the plan of the marriage between the Dong family and the Ye family, to put it bluntly, she wanted her to do everything possible to expand the influence of the Dong family in the Pinglu Oasis, ensure that the Pinglu Oasis became a barrier for Qianghu to advance eastward, and solve the worries of the Dong family in the west.

For this reason, not only Ran Hu and others will listen to her transfer, but the caravan that the Dong family entered the Pinglu Oasis in the later period will also listen to her moderation as long as they stay in Xiqiang.

And at this time, if they really want to help the Ye clan expel the rebellion and restore the country, the influence, penetration and control of the Pinglu Oasis and the Ye clan are not known to be many times higher than originally expected, how can their uncle Dong Chou and grandfather Dong Liang not do everything possible to support it?

Ye Qinglin is not stupid, knowing that once he accepts the assistance of the Dong family, all aspects of the Xiqiang Kingdom may be deeply infiltrated by the Dong family in the future, but in the face of exterminating the clan or becoming a vassal of the Dong family, he has no right to choose.

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

In fact, Ye Qinglin didn't have a chance to hesitate.

The king of Xiqiang had already changed at this time, and three days ago, an envoy rushed to Songyang Lake to contact Ye Qinglin, but before that, the Black Mountain Kou army surrounded Songyang Lake, and the envoy had no chance to approach.

After the Black Mountain Kou army withdrew to the west, the envoy dared to walk out of the hiding place with several followers, rushed over along the Songyang River from the south, and met Ye Qinglin before nightfall.

The brothers Zhang Xiong and Zhang Jun had rebelled four days ago, first feasting many Ye generals and ministers in the Zhang mansion in the royal capital of Dacheng, including Shaoqun Ye Youfang, and after poisoning the dove, they led the elite children of the Zhang family and the generals of the southern army to raid the camp of the northern army in the royal capital.

Because Ye Chentian, the previous lord of the country, suspected that the generals of the Northern Army might defect, and arrested several generals of the Northern Army for interrogation, the Northern Army had already become panicked. After the rebellion, it was either absorbed by the rebels, fled from the city in a hurry, or was annihilated, in short, there was no resistance, and the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the northern army fell apart.

After the rebels defeated the camp of the Northern Army, they quickly took control of the royal capital Ayutthaya and began to besiege the royal palace three days earlier.

When the envoy escaped from the royal capital and delivered a message, the lord Ye Chentian also led 3,000 Praetorian Guards to be trapped in the palace.

"The Ye clan is going to die, the country will be destroyed, the captain will quickly send troops to save the country!" The envoy Jiang Zhe was almost forty years old, and he was a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Realm, but at this moment, he hugged Ye Qinglin's thigh and cried, crying and begging Ye Qinglin to lead his troops back to the royal capital.

Ye Qinglin was also full of desolation, the Black Mountain Kou army retreated all the way west, without looking back, presumably to converge with the rebels of the Southern Army as quickly as possible, and the rebels would have seventy or eighty thousand elites at that time, what would he do to help and rescue?

What they can do now is that in addition to sending a letter to Hexi to ask for help from the Dong clan, at the same time as they rush to Black Mountain and Moyue Lake, they also send people to inform those clan forces in Xiqiang who are still loyal to the Ye clan and the generals of the Northern Army who have escaped from the royal capital to move to Black Mountain and Moyue Lake as quickly as possible to avoid being broken by the rebels.

After Ye Qinglin's luck was completely cut off, he soon wrote a letter of help with Dong Ning, and sent people to rush to Tieliuling as fast as possible with spirit birds, and they no longer continued to delay in Songyang Lake, and eight thousand soldiers and horses set off overnight and rushed to Montenegro.

Eight thousand soldiers and horses hurriedly retreated westward, and along the way, they kept encountering soldiers and horses who escaped from the Pinglu Oasis, and all of them brought terrible news.

Only twenty years have passed since the war with Dayan, and the hatred is not so easy to forget, there are not many clans in the Pinglu Oasis that really support the marriage between the Ye family and the Dong family, after the Zhang family rebelled and took control of the royal capital, before the rebels captured the palace, there were five or six cities on the north bank of Pinglu Lake that announced their surrender to the Zhang family.
