Chapter 34: The Decisive Battle at Yumen Pass!!
Three days have passed since Luo Cheng led his army to attack Chen Bao's rear, and the news spread throughout the battlefield of Yumen Pass.
Chen Bao was naturally furious when he heard the news, he didn't expect that the general of the Chu Army who fled in Nanshan Town would actually lead people to his rear to do things, and it caused such a big trouble.
But he has no choice now!
Because he has spilled out a lot of people, after the infiltration of the surrounding villages and towns, he has entered the interior of Xizhou, and is looting in Xizhou at the moment, only Yumen Pass has an army in the entire Xizhou, and other places can't stop his iron cavalry from trampling, and the harvest must be great.
So he didn't return to the aid as soon as possible, because he knew that it would be useless to go back now, and he had to get benefits, as long as he got the benefits at that time, and the strength of the army under his command was still there, then the territory could still be built!
And on the side of Yumen Pass, after Chu Yuqing, Bai Qi and the others knew what Luo Cheng had done, they all laughed.
Chu Yuqing shook his head and said: "Luo Cheng, this guy can't afford to lose at all, Chen Bao destroyed his Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen, he was stunned and smashed Chen Bao's lair......
Of course, Bai Qi didn't understand what "shaking people" meant, but he could guess some, and immediately smiled: "Actually, the significance of their battle is not very great, Chen Bao is now difficult to ride a tiger, no matter what happens in the rear, he can't let go here!" ”
What is somewhat different from what Luo Cheng and Zhu Qingshan expected is that Bai Qi's positioning of their battle is "of little significance", and they originally thought that this was of great significance.
Chu Yuqing also nodded, because he knew the deployment here, so he also knew what was going on.
In fact, it was very simple, Chen Bao infiltrated into Xizhou through the surrounding villages and towns to plunder, this strategy was seen through by Bai Qi, so Bai Qi made targeted measures, let Xue Li, Bai Lang, and He Yi lead the army to guard the three roads they must return, and ordered to stand by.
also gave them a death order, no matter what happens, they can only stand by, even if the people of Xizhou are killed in front of their eyes, they must not act rashly!
There are two important factors involved.
The first is to let Chen Bao enter Xizhou Territory None of them can go back, so they can't startle the snakes, can't let them be on guard, and can only wait for them to start on the way back.
Second, Bai Qi gave Xiao He a big gift, which was actually very simple, that is, to find someone to lead the way for the army infiltrated by Chen Bao, and specially take them to rob the rich businessmen and gentry in Xizhou.
The people under Chen Bao's command were naturally very happy, because they were spinning around like headless flies, which was bound to have little effect, and ordinary people did not have many good things at home, and they could not be compared with those rich businessmen and gentry at all.
Now that someone is leading the way, it is basically equivalent to packing all the belongings in Xizhou, just waiting for them to rob it, which saves time and effort, why not?
Chen Bao's order was to loot for three days, because it was necessary to fight quickly, in Chen Bao's opinion, Bai Qi didn't know that he sent troops to infiltrate, so he couldn't give Bai Qi time to react, and he was also afraid that Bai Qi would set up an ambush on the way back, which was the fundamental reason why Bai Qi didn't let Xue Li and others act rashly.
In three days, there will definitely be a big robbery, and in this way, the rich merchants and gentry in Xizhou have been robbed, and all their property has been robbed by Lan Yuguo's army, and then Xue Li and others have robbed it back, and this has come and gone......
Didn't these things fall into Chu Yuqing's hands?
If those rich merchants and gentry come and want to get these belongings back, then I'm sorry, we are also sorry that they were damaged during the war!
Hey, just ask you if you're angry?
You can't help it!
Chu Yuqing is the seventh prince of Chu State, the Duke of Yuguo, and he still has one of the three seals in his hand, these rich businessmen and gentry must not be provoked, they are so domineering!
And your things were not robbed by me, they were robbed by Lan Yuguo, and if you have the ability, you can go to Lan Yuguo's people to ask for it.
I'm here?
No!
The most important thing is that Chu Yuqing now has a large amount of money and materials in his hands, and the wealth worth millions of silver taels brought out from the Yuguo Mansion at the beginning is Chu Yuqing's accumulation over the years, not a small amount.
The second is the one million silver money that the regent Chu Yuan originally planned to give in peace talks with Lan Yuguo, as well as a large number of food, luxury goods and other materials, the first batch of materials was robbed by Bai Qi, so the second batch was transferred, and the second batch was detained by Chu Yuqing and was not given!
So before and after, three batches of valuable money and materials were gathered in a row, plus the local wealth of Xizhou that Lan Yuguo had robbed to help this time, Chu Yuqing had too many good things in his hands, and the benefits were obvious.
Because of the promulgation of the new law, the tax revenue of Xizhou in a short period of time must be very small, without taxes, it is impossible to vigorously develop the army, but it doesn't matter, without the taxes of the people of Xizhou, he has materials in his own hands!
These belongings are enough for Chu Yuqing to develop in Xizhou for a long time, and after the promulgation of the new law, the people of Xizhou will definitely get richer and richer, and it will be a virtuous circle at that time, and slowly Xizhou will become very powerful.
It's just that the upfront investment is relatively large.

"Kill!"
Under Bai Qi's arrangement, the three places where Xue Li, Bai Lang, and He Yi were located all successfully squatted in the returning army of Lan Yuguo.
Pulling a large number of supplies, plus they thought they were very safe, under the sneak attack, the three-way army suffered heavy casualties, and the losses on the side of Yumen Pass were not small, but they completely wiped out everyone who Chen Bao infiltrated, and in comparison, it was Yumen Pass that took a big advantage.
At the same time, Bai Qi also rushed out of the gate of Yumen Pass with five thousand Killing God Army, and went straight to Chen Bao's camp, plus Luo Cheng, Huang Zhi and others who came back, the high-end combat power on Yumen Pass's side threw off Chen Bao's side by a large margin.
The five thousand slaughtering god army under the command of Bai Qi has excellent combat power, imitating the chariot made during the Warring States Period, Bai Qi holds the general's sword high and points to the sky, and the soldiers under his command bravely kill the enemy, Luo Cheng and Huang Zhi are the vanguard, Chen Bao was caught off guard, because at this moment he has insufficient troops in the army!
At the beginning, the 50,000 army brought in, the most troublesome thing for Bai Qi was the 10,000 heavy cavalry, but now most of those heavy cavalry have been sent out, and there are only 3,000 people left in the barracks, and 3,000 people can't stop the God Killing Army.
As for the other so-called elites and veterans, they are not as good as the White Killing God Army, plus the morale of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
So this battle is very easy to win!
From the moment Bai Qi saw through Chen Bao's plan, Chen Bao's defeat had already been decided, and the victory at this time was already predictable.
"Okay, poor Kou Mo chases, Chen Bao can't be killed now!"
Bai Qi stopped Luo Cheng, who wanted to continue the pursuit, with a look of victory on his face, and ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
Chen Bao fled back to Lanyu Country with less than 10,000 people in embarrassment, as for what happened to him next, it was not something that Bai Qi could predict.
But no matter what, Chen Bao can't be killed now, because Bai Qi needs him to disturb Lan Yuguo!
Chen Bao's strength at the moment is no longer worrying compared to other warlords in Lan Yuguo, if those warlords are decisive and courageous enough to unite to destroy him, then Chen Bao will definitely not be able to stop him, but Bai Qi has confidence in Chen Bao.
This guy has the means, maybe he can survive, and as long as he can live, now that he no longer dares to provoke Lan Yuguo in Xizhou, he will definitely fall into dire straits.
Then the position west of Yumen Pass, the pressure will become very small, and the next is the period of full-speed development!
This is a strategy that Bai Qi and Xiao He worked out together.
Chu Yuqing didn't know how to govern the army and the country, of course, these things were left to professional people to do, and he was very confident in Bai Qi and Xiao He's skills.
You don't necessarily think you'll be better than others?
He still has this self-knowledge.
As a result, the battle was completely over, and it seemed a little sloppy, a little simple, and a little devastating......
But in fact, the undercurrent is surging, the battle of wits and courage between Chen Bao and Bai Qi, only in the dark, it depends on whether you can detect it.

[The fourth link of the main quest 1.0 has been completed, and you will receive the reward: Forbidden Army Talisman!] 】
Seeing that the system prompted the completion of the task of "Guarding Xizhou", Chu Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and was also curious about the reward of the forbidden army talisman.
And as soon as he saw the specific information, Chu Yuqing laughed, this thing is completely an artifact!
The Forbidden Army, the host's exclusive special class, is composed of up to 10,000 peak martial artists in the human realm, and the members need to be selected by the host themselves, spending money to make the forbidden army's cultivation passively promoted.
To put it simply, as long as the people selected by Chu Yuqing spend a certain amount of money, they can directly improve their cultivation to the pinnacle of the human realm under the effect of the forbidden army talismans, which is a forbidden army with one enemy and a hundred with one enemy and a hundred with one enemy......
It's kind of beautiful to think about!
But there are two flaws, one is that the forbidden army talisman has no effect on the soldiers, and can only spend money to improve their combat power, in addition, if you want to make these forbidden armies serve the death, it depends on Chu Yuqing's personal ability, and the talisman will not force the soldiers to be loyal to Chu Yuqing.
The second is that the price is too expensive, it takes a hundred gold to convert one person, one hundred gold is worth a thousand silver, and a million silver can only convert a thousand people, which has to be said to be a bit too high.
But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be expensive to be able to instantly transform an ordinary person into a master at the pinnacle of the human realm......
In short, Chu Yuqing is very melancholy, things are good things, but the price is not small, at least today's Xizhou can't afford to raise these 10,000 forbidden troops, and a thousand people are okay.
However, at this moment, Xizhou is a period when there is no resistance and wants to vigorously develop, and there are many places to use money, and he has no plans to form a forbidden army for the time being, so he can only wait for later.
The next stage of the task also appeared immediately.
