When Deng Baichuan and Gongzhiqian came to the village with 3,000 men and horses, plus the men of the 72 caves of the 36 islands, the manpower under Yang Yun's command instantly exceeded 5,000.

In addition to these more than 5,000 people, there are also many women and children who have conquered more than a dozen Qiang tribes. The Qiang people are young and strong, and they are an excellent source of soldiers, but they can only serve as coolies for a short time and cannot go into battle.

"These 3,000 people have all practiced the three martial arts of iron cloth shirts, chain legs, and deadly marksmanship, and some of them have good qualifications, and they have even practiced iron cloth shirts to the second level, and their strength is not weak! Training them out consumed a lot of fine meat and medicinal materials for practice, and it took about 130,000 taels of silver......

After entering the village, Deng Baichuan began to report the details of these horses, in general, a lot of medicinal materials, grain and grass were consumed, and three thousand usable manpower were piled up with silver.

"No wonder, the elite soldiers in history are so rare, such as the elite of the Han Cavalry and the Tang Xuanjia Army, I don't know how much food they have to consume to train!"

All the elite soldiers are fed with a large amount of silver. Without enough meat nutrition, no matter how strong Ding Zhuang is trained for more than ten years, he can't bear it.

Yang Yun sighed in his heart. If there were no Jiangling treasures, it would not be easy to support these 3,000 people with only the Murong family's family business.

"Childe, you asked us to bring people here, is there a big move soon?"

Gongzhiqian's personality is relatively bold, and he asked directly what he thought of in his heart. In the conference hall, in addition to the four generals, Wang Yuyan stood beside Yang Yun.

There are also Wu Boss, Sang Tugong, and An Xuan, who have relatively high martial arts and prestige, sitting on both sides.

These days, they followed Yang Yun to attack the Qiang tribe everywhere in this place, killing people and setting fires, and they gradually surrendered to Yang Yun, and they had a little idea of sincere service.

"That's right, now that the men and horses are ready, it's time to capture Xiangzi City and lay a foundation!"

In the land of Hehuang, the Qiang people, headed by the Muzheng Department, controlled most of the land of the Great Song Xihe Road in the future, and there were several cities under their command, among which Xiangzi City was located in a dangerous place, which was an important place to control Hehuang.

Yang Yun wants to establish a foundation here, and his first goal is this city.

The village he established by the Tao River, although he relied on the masters of the rivers and lakes under his command to constantly attack the nearby tribes and grow, but there was no city wall to protect it, the land was fertile but there were not enough people to farm, and there was a shortage of soldiers and food.

Only by capturing a city can it be regarded as laying the foundation of power, and having the foundation for developing and controlling Hehuang.

Hehuang is the land of four wars, but Tubo is weak, the Great Song Dynasty is controlled by the Empress Dowager Gao, and the old party in the DPRK and China is in charge, only a few years later Song Zhezong will take power, will focus on Hehuang.

The only one who had the ability to interfere with Hehuang was Western Xia. However, Western Xia seems to be adjacent to Hehuang, but there are mountains and mountains in the middle, as long as Yang Yun fights quickly, takes the Muzheng Department first, and holds Hehuang in his hands, he may not have the strength to fight.

After establishing a foundation in Hehuang, Yang Yun was ready to join forces with Wu Xingyun to find a way to take down Li Qiushui, kill her, the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, and let Western Xia have civil strife, and then raise troops to attack, and finally replace Western Xia to become the top three in the world!

Taking a step back, even if he can't take Western Xia, Yang Yun can complete the obsession of the original Murong Fu and successfully complete the task and return to the main world.

"Childe has this ambition, we will definitely die!"

The four generals and Wu Boss and others are all rare masters in the rivers and lakes, and it is okay to fight in battle, but it is difficult for them to make plans and lead the troops to fight. However, everyone was convinced by Yang Yun at this time, and immediately started to act as soon as they gave an order.

On the second day, Yang Yun left the village with two thousand soldiers and many masters of the rivers and lakes, and rushed in the direction of Xiangzi City.

Along the way, there was a steady stream of news, and before they even arrived at Xiangzi City, there were already dozens of masters of the rivers and lakes lurking at the city gate.

The city wall built by the Qiang people can block the soldiers and horses of the army, but it is useless for the masters of the rivers and lakes who fly the eaves and walk the walls, just wait for Yang Yun to arrive with people, and they can kill the soldiers guarding the gate and let the men and horses enter the city.

A few hours later, Yang Yun led the people to stop ten miles away, and could see the outline of the city from a distance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the news from the inquiry, the strength of this Qiang leader Mu Zheng is not worth mentioning, but his subordinates have recruited a few Tibetan monks and good hands in the Western Regions.

Yang Yun summoned everyone, took a long sword from his hand, and briefly drew a general outline of Xiangzi City on the ground, telling everyone the information that had been found out.

His subordinates are all reckless, if they don't explain things clearly, even if these people attack the city, they will be in a swarm of bees, and there will be some twists and turns.

"Childe, don't worry, just a few Tibetan monks and demons from the Western Regions, I and a few brothers will shoot together, and we will definitely capture and kill these people!" Deng Baichuan arched his hand and said.

Yang Yun nodded, Deng Baichuan is the number one general of the Murong clan, and he is quite safe. Then he asked everyone to divide their men and prepare to attack the city.

This time he is not ready to make a move, there are four generals and Wu Boss, Sang Tugong, these masters of the rivers and lakes, except for the top masters on the rivers and lakes, ordinary forces cannot resist at all.

He only needs to strategize and bring a few hundred men as a backing, and he doesn't need to charge into battle himself.

As the saying goes, the son of a daughter can't sit down, and Yang Yun now has more than 10,000 people, and he can't do everything himself. In addition, since his subordinates have the ability, they must be given room to play, otherwise they will recruit so many people, and Yang Yun will have to take action personally, so why should they recruit their subordinates?

At this time, the spies came to report that the city gate was ready to be opened at any time to allow soldiers and horses to enter the city.

Yang Yun waved his hand, Deng Baichuan, Gong Zhiqian and others bowed, turned around and led his men to run towards the city gate of Xiangzi City.

In less than half an hour, there was a fierce shout in the distance.

Dealing with the Qiang people who lack armor training, these people in the rivers and lakes are like fish in water, and they are like bamboos everywhere they go. Soon there was a steady stream of news.

First, the soldiers and horses occupied the city gate, Deng Baichuan, Bao Wei and others personally led the men and horses to attack Mu Zheng, and fought with several masters recruited by the other party, and finally successfully killed these people and captured Mu Zheng alive.

"The people in the rivers and lakes and the trained people are invincible against the Qiang tribe, but once they encounter a large army battle, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch it, and they still have to find a way to recruit some generals!"

Yang Yun led people in the back and slowly walked towards the city, and everywhere he saw, the Qiang people in the city gradually knelt down and surrendered, took a complete city, and officially established the foundation, but he was not shocked in his heart. The expression was calm, without the slightest smugness.
