In the battle of Tongkou City, all the troops also had a lot of casualties, the generals were tired, and the heavy crossbow shells were exhausted, and it was difficult for the generals to continue to fight northward, seeing that the demon barbarian army in the north did not move, Chen Hai ordered the generals to return to Tongkou City to rest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Hai and the generals spent the New Year's Festival in Tongkou City, the time was leisurely to the eighty years of Emperor Yitian, and contacted Hexi and Yongjun, the main force of the demon barbarians suffered a lot of setbacks in Broken Dragon Ridge, Chopping Horse Ridge and other places, to think that there was less than a month left before the earth warmed up, and the demon barbarian soldiers did not have enough time to invade Tongkou again, Chen Li ordered Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, Granny Crane and others to lead the fourth and fifth battalions and war poultry battalions to garrison Tongkou City, on the one hand, to guard against the movement of the small combat force of the demon barbarians in the north, and on the other hand, to promote more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, Minyong continued to build Tongkou City, and he led the guard camp to escort the soldiers of Tianshui County and more than 10,000 wounded soldiers to return to Hengshan City.

The Cangyu Spirit Eagle flew into the sky, monitoring the movements of the Yandang Plain for more than 100 miles, and could see that on the snow-covered land, the Longxiang Army and the Tianshui County soldiers were winding like dragons.

Chen Hai, who rode the red war beast, looked at the land covered in silver, and his heart was also full of pride.

In the past, he had also been in charge of elite soldiers, but at that time, he only had the right to command, and he would never be like this elite soldier in front of him, when the Rakshasa Blood Demon invaded in the future, it would be an elite combat force that he could directly call.

The war in the north had ceased, and there were a large number of wounds and illnesses on the return to the south, so there was no deliberate rush march.

It was not until dusk on the fourth day that the soldiers and horses arrived at the foot of Hengshan Castle.

Although there are not many people in Hengshan City, they also went out of the city early to greet them, and when they saw the generals in battle armor returning, more than 10,000 border people who were deeply affected by the attack and invasion of barbarian demons all knelt on the ground and worshipped.

Chen Hai sat on the thick velvet saddle of the Red Riding Beast, looked at the border people kneeling on the ground, and thought to himself, if they knew that there would be more terrifying and extinct disasters waiting for them in the future, would they still be so happy?

Looking at Wu Yunqiao, Wu Jinglin, Liu Chun and others, who were all enthusiastic about the border people, looking at Chen Hai's indifferent look, they all thought in their hearts, could it be that this person is born with a heart of stone?

Chen Hai had just returned from the garrison to the simply repaired Governor's Mansion, and it happened that Zhao Shan rushed to Hengshan City from Wangxi in Hechuan with a letter from his uncle Chen Lie.

Chen Hai has been running around for many years, and his scheming has been exhausted, but Rao is his perseverance, and it is inevitable that he will be a little tired.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to Hengshan City, he was overjoyed to see the old man, and hurriedly passed the meal and prepared a banquet for Zhao Shan and the generals of Tianshui County.

Chen Hai returned to the back house, took off his armor, changed into a green robe and casual clothes, cleaned up his mood, and walked with Su Aya to the side hall where the generals were invited.

Su Aya is a concubine and not a wife, so she is not qualified to enter the court, but Chen Hai does not have so many plans. It's just that Su Aya kept her duty, just agreed to sit next to Chen Hai and serve wine, and she wouldn't sit at a special table, after all, the subordinates of the Duwei Mansion, and even the old Zhao Shan would not say anything, but there were Liao Yunkui, Wu Jingyin, Wu Jinglin, Liu Chun, Wu Yunqiao and other Tianshui County generals and disciples of Huayang Sect at the banquet, so she couldn't be too casual.

Zhao Shan looked at the chic and wanton Chen Hai, and thought of the thin young man who was driven down the mountain from the Splashing Cloud Cliff in the past, and suddenly felt a lot of emotion.

During the banquet, Zhao Shan told Chen Hai the details of Tu Que, Zhao Zhong, and Yao Wenjin's mediation in Hechuan County.

“…… The mediation was originally at an impasse, but he didn't want Yao Gong to stand up and reprimand Huang and Dong, Shizi, Huang Peiyi and many people in the county pastor's mansion at that time all changed their faces for a while, but they were reprimanded by Yao Gong speechless. The two sides were entangled for a few days, and after the mediation between the Taiwei and the Shaofu Supervisor, the conditions finally negotiated were all what Yao Gong said at the time, and there was not much difference, but the Huang family was afraid that Hexi would rebel, so he asked the Musashi Army and Tianshui County to send 5,000 elite escorts each, and the matter was generally settled. When I came over, I heard that Taiwei Tu, Zhao Jiancheng, and Yao Gong had all gone to the main peak of Helan Mountain to supervise the Helan Sword Sect's demolition of the mountain protection array......"

Zhao Shan has not had much good impression of Hexi over the years, but he is loyal to his old master Chen Lie, so he stayed in Hexi, and he is somewhat gloating about this matter between his words, but Yao Wenjin is Chen Hai's elder in the clan no matter what he says, and Zhao Shan is also called "Yao Gong".

Liao Yunkui, Wu Jingyin and others, they only received the news and learned the results of the mediation, but they didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns in the inside, thinking that Yao Wenjin would cultivate the Dao Dan when he was over fifty years old, and it can be said that he is in full swing in the Yao family, but he didn't expect to be so cynical.

However, the Helan Sword Sect's eastward relocation to Yeguling at the northern foot of Qintong Mountain will pose great pressure on the Tianji Academy, and Chen Hai is a disciple of the Yao family after all, even if they want to laugh at Yao Wenjin as funny, they will not laugh in front of Chen Hai.

Fang Xiyan heard Zhao Shan say that Yao Wenjin was in the Shepherd Mansion of Hechuan County, and secretly laughed at Zhao Zhong for being a eunuch who did not understand the relationship between men and women, and his heart was faintly unhappy.

Chen Hai put a lot of worries behind for the time being, raised his glass to Liao Yunkui and said: "The generals of the Longxiang battalion have been going to Hengshan for several months, and thanks to the help of Liao Duwei, Jinglin, and Jingyin, and the help of Lord Fang, they have barely won today's results. It is my Chen Hai's luck to be able to work with you, and it is my luck to have you here. Gentlemen, please drink this cup to the fullest as a reward for your ambition!"

"It is the luck of Dayan to have a lieutenant and a camp of Longxiang. ”

Everyone in the audience got up one after another, drank it all, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warmer.

When everyone was drunk, Liao Yunkui got up and said:

"Chen Hou, the battle of Yuchengling has come to an end. In this battle, nearly half of the children of Tianshui County were killed and wounded, and the county pastor and the commander all passed on the message that I should lead my troops back to Guan Hecheng in time to garrison, and we would not bother Chen Hou in Hengshan. Chen Hou Gaoyi, save hundreds of thousands of people from the misery of life, Yun Kui is in his heart, if the demon barbarians have the courage to invade again in the future, I, Liao Yunkui, and my fellow soldiers will definitely advance and retreat with the generals of the Long Xiang battalion!"

Liao Yunkui insisted on sending reinforcements from Guanhe City at that time, and he had a bad quarrel with Wu Cheng and Zhou Tong, and at this time, he returned to Guanhe City, and it was estimated that there was a mess waiting for him to clean up, and Chen Hai was inconvenient to keep.

In the middle of the moon, when the wine was gone, Chen Hai returned to the room, calmed down, and then opened the letter that Chen Lie asked Zhao Shan to send.

In the letter, Chen Lie praised Chen Hai for his battles in Hengshan, but also blamed him for being too risky in using his troops, and he should first stabilize his position in Hengshan and then try to irrigate the estuary in the next year.

Chen Hai also has unspeakable suffering, the Heaven and Earth Essence of Jinyan Prefectures has been wantonly leaked into the Blood Cloud Wasteland, which shows that the Blood Cloud Wasteland passes through Black Mountain and connects with Jinyan Prefecture, which is already an urgent matter, and there is not much time left for him to lay out.

A more secure way is to stabilize the position in Hengshan first, and then try to irrigate the estuary in the coming year, but in the next year, there will inevitably be a fierce battle with the demon barbarian soldiers at the mouth of the river, so that the demon barbarian soldiers will not dare to invade the Yandang Plain.

It would be an extra year of wasted time for him, and he might not be able to afford to waste it.

However, although Chen Lie's letter was a complaint, behind the blame was concern, which made Chen Hai look hot when he read it......

“…… Although you and I cultivate the true yuan, Shouyuan is much stronger than ordinary people, and can live happily in the world, but because of the entanglement of the world, it is inevitable that we will be physically and mentally exhausted. Fortunately, you are full-fledged and have heavy troops in your hands, although there are many calculations, I don't need to worry too much, but I don't know when I will be able to meet in Wangxi Peak and have the opportunity to talk about the family?"

At this time, the room was dark, but the lamp oil burned out and went out.

At this time, Su Aya walked in and wanted to put on a new lamp, and when she saw the bright moonlight shining into the room, Chen Hai sat there motionless, with a sad look on his face, walked over, hugged him from behind, and said, "Why won't my uncle come to Hengshan?"

"When I established the Tianji Academy, I drew a clear line with the Dong family, and my uncle was unwilling to live up to Hexi's upbringing of him at that time, and finally decided to stay in the sect to practice, and naturally he would not come to Hengshan now," Chen Hai said, "And I will help the Tianshui County soldiers and Musashi Army to suppress Hexi's ambitions in the future, and the relationship with Hexi will be more tense, and my uncle's situation in Hexi will be more difficult at that time......"

Chen Hai thought that he was planning, but he couldn't do anything about his uncle Chen Lie's situation, and there was no other way than sighing.

Early the next morning, the soldiers of Tianshui County gathered to return to Guanhe, and refused Chen Hai's kindness to send him off with a wind and flame airship, but loaded the frozen robes and corpses into a carriage and transported them back to Guanhe for burial.

Wu Jingyin and Wu Jinglin led the troops first, and finally Liao Yunkui's lineage.

Of the 6,000 comrades, more than 2,000 were left in the end.

Compared with Wu Jinglin and Wu Jingyin's department, the casualties were quite limited.

Wu Jinglin wanted to fight, could fight, and dared to fight, but after Wu Jingyin arrived at Tongkou City, Wu Jinglin's command of the 3,000 generals he had led before was under Wu Jingyin's control. In the early stage of the defensive battle of Tongkou City, Wu Jingyin led 6,000 Tianshui soldiers to act as a rear formation, and did not participate in the most brutal bloody battle, only after the collapse of the barbarian battle array, he led his troops to participate in the pursuit.

For this reason, Wu Jinglin did not have the courage to come out to see Liao Yunkui for a while.

Chen Hai rode a red beast and personally sent Liao Yunkui and Liu Chun out of the city.

Seeing that the generals all got on their horses, Liao Yunkui and Liu Chun also stepped on their mounts and said goodbye to Chen Hai.

"Liao Shuai will wait a little longer. Chen Hai said.

Liao Yunkui didn't know what Chen Hai meant, so he and Liu Chun waited on the side of the road surrounded by more than a dozen guards.

After a while, Qi Hanjiang personally drove a carriage dragged by four black cunning horses, panted and said, "Master, I have everything for you......"

"Liao Shuai, this carriage and four black cunning horses will be given to you, which is a little bit of my care. Chen Hai said to Liao Yunkui.

Seeing the wheels made of fine iron creaking against the gravel road in front of the city gate, Liao Yunkui and Liu Chun walked over, opened the curtain of the car and saw that it was full of ten heavenly machine crossbows and ten bundles of quenched gold heavy crossbow arrows.

"Farewell!" Liao Yunkui didn't say thank you, arched his hand, and everything was silent......
