Xicheng was taken, and Tu Meng also died, but the western wing of the Xue Manbu was not completely taken, because there were still many small tribes around Xicheng that really belonged to the Xue Manbu.
These tribes also have a certain strength, and according to Wu Nanjiang, if they unite, it will not be a problem to make up four or five thousand young people.
Perhaps, Tu Meng relied on the presence of an elder, so he did not order these tribes to send young men to Xicheng to help, or perhaps, Tu Meng let these tribes do something else, in short, these tribes did not participate in the war, their strength is still there.
In other words, if you don't take these tribes, you won't really occupy the western flank of Xue Man's department.
Of course, these tribes don't need Zhao Hao to take action personally, and even, the elite of the eight battalions under his command don't need to take action, because, at this time, Wu Nanjiang's subordinates have already gathered 5,000 young people, and Shahe has also brought 3,000 young people to help.
Their task is to clean up these small tribes, Zhao Hao naturally will not be the elite of the eight battalions to do it for him, he just gave an order, let Wu Nanjiang and Shahe lead the army to subdue all the small tribes around Xicheng, and then began to think about the next thing.
What's next?
Naturally, he wanted to quickly turn the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Stone into a divine weapon.
It's a pity that he doesn't know how to use the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Stone to worship the gods, and there is no place to sacrifice, so he can only hand over the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Stone to the Great Elder Nanhua in exchange for divine soldiers.
At this time, if he went to Nanhua City or Zhennanbao according to the original old road, it would be more laborious, he had to go around in a big circle, first run five or six thousand miles, run to the Tianshen Camp station, and then run another five or six thousand miles, run to Haotian Fort, and then take a boat north to reach Zhennanbao.
In this way, even if he rushes with all his might, it will take at least half a month.
He didn't want to work hard to go around in a big circle and run for half a month, and besides, at this time, the west wing of Xue Man's Department was not completely taken, and he couldn't leave for a while.
After taking Xicheng, early the next morning, he sat in the tent, staring at his hand-drawn map and began to be in a daze.
This map is a partial map he drew according to the entire map of the Taihua Continent in the hands of the Great Elder of Nanhua, and this part is the original territory of his Haotian Department and the western wing of the Xue Man's Department.
According to his memory, the north of the west wing of the Xue Manbu should be the territory of the Western Qin Marquis of the Taihua Tribe.
That is to say, as long as he orders people to continue to build the road to the north, he will definitely be able to reach the territory of the Marquis of Western Qin, but he doesn't know how far this north will be repaired.
He also roughly looked at the whole map of the Taihua Continent in the hands of the Great Elder of Nanhua, and there was no location of Xicheng on it, so he really didn't know how far it was from the territory of the Marquis of Western Qin.
Fortunately, he is not clear, someone should be clear.
For example, slaughtering tigers.
He stared at the map for a while, and then ordered someone to summon the slaughter tiger over.
At this time, Tu Hu put his heart back in his stomach, because the great leader of Haotian had appointed him as the commander of Xicheng, and the entire Xicheng, the two or three thousand people left behind were under his control.
In other words, the great leader of Haotian will definitely not do anything to him, if he is cleaned up, this Xicheng is estimated to be in chaos again.
When he heard that the great leader of Haotian was summoned, he naturally ran over.
What is it?
As soon as he ran into the tent, Zhao Hao beckoned, "Come, come and have a look." ”
Look?
What to see?
Curiously, he walked over and saw that it was a map.
He had seen this thing, but he still couldn't understand what Zhao Hao was drawing, because what he had seen was the map of Xue Manbu, which was completely different from this.
Zhao Hao saw this guy looking at the map in a daze, so he could only ask helplessly: "Where is the territory of the Western Qin Marquis of the Taihua Department, do you know?" ”
Of course, this Tuhu knows, because he is in charge of guarding the northern border.
He nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, I know." ”
When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly excited: "Do you know how far this place is from the territory of the Marquis of Western Qin?" ”
Uh, this.
Tu Hu thought for a while, and then said carefully: "I haven't been to the territory of the Western Qin Marquis of the Taihua Ministry, I just heard that behind the West Fort of the Taihua Department is the territory of the West Qin Marquis, which is about four hundred miles away from the West Fort of the Town, and I think it should be less than five hundred miles away from the territory of the West Qin Marquis." ”
So close!
Zhao Hao asked excitedly: "Do you know how to get to Zhenxi Fort?" ”
Tu Hu nodded without hesitation and said, "I know, I know, I was defending over there at the beginning." ”
That's easy to do.
Zhao Hao immediately said loudly: "Order, let Rushuang and Ji Wei follow Ah Hua and his men to Xicheng as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Yi, who was outside the big tent, heard this, said "obey", and then arranged for someone to summon him.
What does that mean?
The slaughter of the tiger on the side is inexplicable.
Zhao Hao saw his stunned appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "How is it, the people in Xicheng have been pacified, right?" ”
Tu Hu nodded subconsciously and said, "It's all pacified." ”
Zhao Hao then asked: "Is there a problem with recruiting five hundred young people among these people?" ”
Tu Hu nodded without thinking: "No problem." ”
When Zhao Hao heard this, he waved his hand and said, "That's okay, you go and recruit five hundred young people first, organize it well, and take them to repair the road in a few days." ”
Of course, Tuhu knows what this road is for, and the army of this Haotian Department is all the way from the Nanjiang Department to repair the road, and he secretly ran to see it.
He hurriedly said respectfully "obey", and then turned around and withdrew from the tent.
Xicheng is more than 1,000 miles away from the settlement of the Nanjiang River, although the road in this wild jungle has been repaired, and it will take a lot of time to make a round trip.
On Zhao Yi's side, even if he sent a few guards to hurry up and rush to deliver the order non-stop, it would take about two days, and Ji Rushuang and Ah Hua's side, even if they rushed over after receiving the news, it would take at least three days, after all, Ah Hua also had five hundred people under him, so many people rushed together, and the speed was naturally not as fast as a few people alone.
Five days later, Ji Rushuang and his entourage hurried to Xicheng.
The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally have a bit of charm, and after being tired of it for a while, Ji Rushuang couldn't help but praise: "Husband, you are so powerful, the west wing of Xue Man's Department was taken so easily." ”
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head: "It can't be regarded as completely won now, there are still many small tribes around that have not been solved." ”
When Ji Rushuang heard this, she said seriously: "Are you in such a hurry to let me come over just for this?" ”
Zhao Hao shook his head again and again and said, "No, no, no." ”
Ji Rushuang couldn't help but be curious: "Then what is it for?" ”
Zhao Hao said like a treasure: "Do you know, this place is less than five hundred miles away from the West Qin Territory, I am about to order someone to repair the road directly to the West Qin Territory, and call you over, just let you prepare and go home to see your parents." ”
I see.
Ji Rushuang immediately exclaimed excitedly: "Really? How soon will you be able to get the road through? ”
Zhao Hao said confidently: "Half a month at most." ”
He is not bragging, there are a lot of people who are building roads at this time, just the elite of the eight battalions of the Haotian Department can send two thousand, and more than 3,000 people from the Nanjiang Department are also here at this time, plus the five hundred young people of the Tiger Slaughter Organization, there are more than 5,500 people, and the speed of road construction is naturally not ordinarily fast.
