Last time, Ma Cheng was having a heated discussion with the patriarch of the Nine Clans of the Holy Mountain. After all, it is related to the livelihood of the nine clans of the Holy Mountain after the migration, they are not greedy too much, and are even willing to pay taxes and provide troops for the Chitang Empire, they only want to be treated equally by the Chitang Empire, and their children can also take the imperial examination and enter the court of the Chitang Empire. They don't have any other greater ambitions, they yearn for the Chitang Empire, and they also know the policies of the Chitang Empire, but they have been frightened by the Shunyuan Empire's policy of reducing and exterminating the clan over the years, so they want to know the Chitang Empire's policy towards them in advance.

The patriarchs of these nine clans: Zhao Xi, Sun Cheng, Wu Tingzhong, Song Huaizhong, Cui Ting, Dong Jin, Kang Guojun, Geng Tingzheng and Yu Xin and other nine patriarchs, looked at this eunuch who came directly from the imperial court, and felt that His Majesty the Emperor of the Chitang Empire valued them.

To tell the truth, Ma Cheng, who had already explained everything clearly, never thought that he, a stranger, would be able to be so warmly entertained by these people.

Ma Cheng carefully explained to them the policy of the Red Tang Empire towards the people of all ethnic groups who served in the Quartet, as long as they could move inward, everyone could get land, and they would be exempted from taxes for three years and forced labor for three years.

Among the nine clan chiefs, Zhao Xi, the eldest patriarch of the Zhao clan, signaled a little to his son Zhao Shizhen behind him, Zhao Shizhen immediately went to get all the people of the entire Zhao clan and handed it to Ma Cheng, and Zhao Xi said: " Master Ma, this is the owner of our Zhao clan, as for the land in our hands, you should know that they do not belong to us at all, those officials of the Shunyuan Empire who have been sent to supervise us, they are constantly greedy from our people, and even the imperial court continues to increase taxes, and they want all the people of our nine clans to be wiped out. We sincerely hope that if we can submit to the Chitang Empire, our people can really be regarded as adults, we don't want any tax reductions and exemptions, we just want to be able to live upright. Therefore, Master Ma, our Zhao clan and the small clans of all surnames, with a total of more than 4.5 million people, are sincerely submitted. ”

Soon, the other tribes also presented their own atlases of their people, as well as the details of their accumulated property. Ma Cheng looked at the private property of these people in front of him, and only felt that they were really poor.

Soon, he reported all the situation of the nine clans to Feng Xuege, and Feng Xuege was leading the army under his command at this time, preparing for a decisive battle with the capital governor of the Shunyuan Empire and the army under the command of Hou Yuanheng in the east.

The decisive battle sites were set up in Hengjue Mountain, Hengyang Mansion on the border of the Shunyuan Empire, and Yongtang Mansion in the Chitang Empire.

On December 28, the 31st year of Duanning, the governor of the Shunyuan Empire and Hou Yuanheng of the East led the Chinese army under his command and stationed in Hengjue Mountain.

Seeing the steepness of this mountain, Yuan Heng made a mistake that the old Jiang on the battlefield should not make, that is, he set up the camp on the top of Hengjue Mountain. Because, at that time, he only wanted this place to be a place that could be attacked and retreated, and it was defended by natural dangers. However, when he learned that there was no water source on the top of the mountain in the place he had chosen, he regretted it.

However, it was useless to regret it, because at this time his Chinese army was already surrounded by the army of the Chitang Empire.

And he was besieged with his eldest son Yuan Zeng and second son Yuan Tong, both of whom were at a loss. Who would have thought that the army under their command could be so difficult to fight, and even the million-strong army formed by the people of the nine clans who used it as human shields actually turned against each other, and with a counterattack, their army was in chaos. At this time, the only one who could save them was Yuan Heng's youngest son, Yuan Ji.

At this moment, Yuan Heng, who was surrounded by Hengjue Mountain, said to himself: "I regret that I shouldn't have chosen Hengjue Mountain as the handsome tent of the commander! I only hope that Yuanji can quickly support us, we just need to break through, and we can do it!" ”

However, as everyone knows, at this time, Yuanji, who is holding a large army, is slowly marching into the army, and he has his own little abacus in his heart, if the eldest brother and the second brother both exist, he will definitely not be able to inherit the throne, so the best way is to let them die, so that he can not inherit the throne! Now, with his own army in hand, even if he loses the battle this time, the court will not dare to hold him too responsible. Moreover, both father and brother died fighting for the country, and the court did not dare to go against public opinion. Therefore, when the time comes, with the help of Hou Ye's fiefdom, he will develop his own power, and eventually he will rise and covet that position. Anyway, he is now in the Innocent Realm, as long as he is diligent in cultivation, he can reach the Nine Tribulations Realm, and when he reaches the Immortal Realm, it will be the time when he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor. After all, he has the blood of the royal family in his body, shouldn't the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme be inhabited by the capable?

It's just that Motoyoshi forgot that his enemies would be so willing to let himself lead a large army to escape?

The answer is naturally no, when Yuan Ji led his army and arrived in Qicheng, he was besieged by Feng Xuege's army. In order to prevent Yuan Ji from leading the army to escape, Feng Xuege directly sent a letter to Ma Cheng, asking him to negotiate terms with the people of the nine clans, so that the people of the nine clans could organize themselves and fight the enemy together.

Ma Cheng immediately informed the nine patriarchs of Feng Xuege's letter, and the nine patriarchs discussed with each other and felt that this matter was feasible, so they immediately went to their respective clans and announced the news. Although the nine clans were under the supervision of the officials sent by the Shun Yuan Empire, they had already been imprisoned in disguise by all the people of the nine clans who were already preparing to submit to the Chitang Empire.

The yearning for freedom and equality made all these nine clans willing to give their names. Back then, their population used to reach billions, and the area under their jurisdiction was once located in the southeast of the Shunyuan Empire, but now they can only hide in this deep mountain, being oppressed and bullied. Now, they have seen the light, so they are really determined to give everything to go to the Chitang Empire.

On the twenty-second day of the first month of the thirty-second year of Duanning, Feng Xuege led the army under his command and began to unhurriedly narrow the encirclement of Hengjue Mountain and Qicheng.

Since most of the main forces of the enemy army on this side of the Shunyuan Empire have been besieged by the army led by Feng Xuege and the army of the nine clans.

On February 18, the 32nd year of Duanning, in less than a month of encirclement, nearly 10 million enemy troops led by Yuan Heng of Hengjue Mountain and Qicheng had all been wiped out.

On the tenth day of March in the 32nd year of Duanning, nearly 30 million people from the nine clans of Shengshan all moved to the Chitang Empire.

Gan Xuan, who was captured by Feng Xuege and took the initiative to surrender, personally led the army under his command to greet him, he naturally saw his people, although they were tired, but as soon as they thought that the paradise they dreamed of was about to arrive, they were in high spirits. They even sang songs that had been passed down from the community.

As for Feng Xue Ge at this time, he had also received the emperor's decree to place the nine surnamed tribes in the Maoling area, which was once a fief belonging to a criminal duke who was named the Duke of Maoguo, plus the surrounding tens of thousands of hectares of land, enough to feed the people of their nine surnamed tribes! At the same time, it was announced that they had become the people of the Chitang Empire, and they had all the rights that the people of the Chitang Empire should obtain. At the same time, it was announced that they would be exempted from taxes for three years, and at the same time exempt from forced labor for three years, and that they would form an army of brave men, and that they would be selected as court officials.

The rapid implementation of these measures made all the people of these nine clans of the Holy Mountain very happy. And they were able to survive under the cruel policies of the Shunyuan Empire, and their combat effectiveness naturally went without saying.

And after Feng Xue Ge got this elite army, he immediately led them to support Duanmuzhen, the crown prince of the Chitang Empire, who was fighting hard with the enemy at this time, and Duanmuzhen led fewer troops than the enemy, but he was able to command Ruo Ding to find the enemy's weaknesses and attack, so that the enemy could not get the slightest advantage from his hands at all.

At this time, Duanmuzhen, the crown prince who set up his camp near Huxi in Shangxi Province, was looking at the sand table, and had recently annihilated many troops led by Xiong Zhou, the king of the Liechu Empire. This Xiong Zhou is really a difficult bone to gnaw, but Duanmuzhen has a way to deal with him.

At this moment, Xiong Zhou, the king of the Liechu Empire, who was Duanmu Zhen's opponent, was not having a good time at all, how many years had he led his troops? But he had never encountered such a tricky opponent, not only did he lose his troops at the hands of this opponent, but he also found that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him.

As a result, today, he heard the bad news again, that Yuan Heng was defeated and completely annihilated. As a result, the northern army of the Chitang Empire, which was pinned down by Yuan Heng, could quickly rush to the aid of the opponent in front of him.

He couldn't help but sigh, "The defeat is decided, and I can't go back to heaven!"

Thinking about it, they tried their best this time, almost draining the national strength to piece together these armies, and now that this battle is over, I am afraid that the national strength has been completely exhausted!

At the same time, Duanmu Gang, who was far away in the capital, that is, Zhou Shuyu, had already received good news, but he didn't expect that so soon, his daughter-in-law had already wiped out the army led by Yuan Heng. In this way, the situation of the war in the northwest will soon change, and the war in the northwest will eventually be won.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
