Hearing that Wumeng Zhuolie, the king of the eastern Qing Yi tribe, asked how to not leave Hegu City, the strategist Gong Mo Qingge stroked the beard of his chin and said: "King, the king of the west, Wumeng Ergu, is still in the western province, and if you want to reach Hegu City, it will take a month at the earliest, if the king does not want to withdraw from the competition for the position of Tusi of the Qing Yi tribe, only before the king of the west, Wumeng Ergu, arrives in Hegu City, and defeat the Bai Miao army outside the city as much as possible." ”

Wumeng Zhuolie shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Now that the Bai Miao clan has gathered at least more than two million troops east of Hegu City, it may even exceed two and a half million, and the number of troops in the hands of this king is only one million and one million, how easy is it to defeat the Bai Miao army of more than two million?" ”

Gongmo Qingge's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Great King, don't forget that the people inside and outside Hegu City have also gathered almost a million people, as long as the king's heart is ruthless enough, it is not impossible to defeat the more than two million Bai Miao army!" ”

"What does Mr. Gongmo mean?"

"Our Qingyi people have always been all soldiers, and the people can also go into battle to kill the enemy, and in addition to Hegu City in the eastern province, there are also many people of our Qingyi people in other places, the king can completely recruit these people to Hegu City in a steady stream, so that the troops in the hands of the king are not less than the Bai Miao army outside the city, plus the one million troops that Lord Tusi is ready to reinforce Hegu City, it is impossible to wait for the western king Umon Ergu to rush to Hegu City together, and the million reinforcements will definitely come in batches. These reinforcements did not arrive at Hegu City in the western king Umonergu, and they were still under the temporary command of the king. ”

"Could it be that Mr. Gongmo is asking this king to fight to the death with the Bai Miao army regardless of casualties?"

"That's right, if the king doesn't want to withdraw from the competition for the position of Tusi of the Qingyi tribe, he can only gamble."

Wumeng Zhuolie gritted his teeth and said: "Instead of leaving in disgrace, it is better to gamble vigorously, and this king will do what Mr. Gongmo wants!" ”

Beginning on October 27, 1524 in the barbarian calendar, the Qing Yi army and the people near Hegu City in the eastern province of the Qing Yi nationality were not afraid of the Bai Miao army with a strength of more than 2.5 million, and chose to launch an active attack on the Bai Miao army, and did not care about their own casualties at all, only on October 27, the Qing Yi army and the people suffered more than 250,000 casualties, and the Bai Miao and its affiliated armies also lost 150,000.

The barbarian calendar is the year used by the various Eastern barbarian peoples in the 100,000 mountains, and the number of months and days of the barbarian calendar is the same as the Great Jin calendar, October 27, 1524, that is, October 27, 430 years of the Great Jin Dynasty.

On October 28, the two sides continued the bloody battle outside the city of Hegu, and in the end the casualties on the side of the Qing Yi reached 230,000, and the troops of the Bai Miao and their affiliated tribes also lost about 130,000 people under the frenzied attack of the Qing Yi people.

On October 29, the Qing Yi lost another 160,000 troops, and the Bai Miao also lost 80,000 or 90,000 troops.

On October 30, the bloody battle between the Qing Yi and Bai Miao in Hegu City continued......

Just when the bloody battle in Hegu City was underway, a dusty Jin caravan came to the outside of Pingliang City of the Qingyi Nationality at noon on November 2, and this Jin caravan was dressed up by Liu Ji and others.

"Finally arrived in Pingliang City, this road is really not easy to walk!" Liu Ji looked at the city wall of Pingliang City in the distance, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

Although Heishuitai got a road map to Pingliang City from the merchants of the Jin Kingdom who often entered the 100,000 Mountains, but after Liu Ji led people into the 100,000 Mountains, they found that the road map was not accurate enough, and as a result, Liu Ji and the others took a lot of unjust roads, and walked in the 100,000 Mountains for a month before they finally arrived at Pingliang City.

Although there are one big mountain after another among the 100,000 mountains, there are still many places with gentle slopes between the mountains, which can still be passed by horseback, and there are also some plains with a large area among the 100,000 mountains, which can be cultivated by the Eastern Barbarian tribes, of course, the main source of food for the Eastern Barbarian tribes is still relying on the terraced fields cultivated on the slopes.

Zhang Shaohua said in a sullen voice: "Finally arrived in Pingliang City, I've been suffocated these days, this time I can finally kill!" ”

Because Liu Ji and others pretended to be a caravan of the Jin Kingdom, after entering the 100,000 mountains, they encountered many blackmails from the people of the Eastern Barbarian tribes, in order to reach Pingliang City smoothly, for these extortions, Liu Ji spent some silver to settle them, although the Eastern Barbarian tribes will not plunder the caravan of the Jin Kingdom for long-term considerations, but Liu Ji and they have also suffered a lot of anger along the way.

When passing through some mountain towns of the Qingyi tribe, Liu Ji and the others encountered a lot of incidents of the Qingyi people abusing the people of the Jin Kingdom, but in order not to cause trouble, Liu Ji and the others also endured this breath.

Fan Xu looked around, hesitated for a moment and asked Liu Ji: "Lord, the elite soldiers who infiltrated the 100,000 mountains, I don't know how we have to get in touch?" ”

Liu Ji smiled slightly, "Let's sneak into Pingliang City first, those elite soldiers should already be in Pingliang City." ”

Hearing Liu Ji say this, Fan Xu and Zhang Baofeng looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Liu Ji entered the 100,000 Mountains this time with only six generals, namely Zhang Shaohua, Liu Meng, Zhang Baofeng, Fan Xu, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong, among which Zhang Shaohua, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong are heartless, for the three of them, Liu Ji is what he says, and he will not consider anything else at all.

As Liu Ji's younger brother, Liu Meng, although there is no problem with IQ, but he can be described as blind trust in Liu Ji, Liu Ji said that there will be tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Pingliang City to meet more than 100 of them, and Liu Meng no longer thinks about this matter.

Among the six generals, only Fan Xu and Zhang Baofeng have been worried about whether the group of elite soldiers Liu Ji said can successfully reach Pingliang City, after all, Liu Ji said that the number of elite soldiers is calculated in tens of thousands, once that group of elite soldiers is discovered by the Qingyi tribe on the way to Pingliang City, they will definitely gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress it, so it will be very difficult to rely on more than 100 of them to attack the Tusi Mansion of the Qingyi people and capture the Tusi Wumeng Ago of the Qingyi people.

Liu Ji saw the wry smiles on the faces of Fan Hao and Zhang Baofeng, and then smiled and comforted: "You don't have to worry, after entering Pingliang City, you will see those elite soldiers!" ”

On the way of this month, Liu Ji also gained an unexpected surprise, that is, he obtained the sincere allegiance of Zhang Baofeng, a peerless general, completed a hidden mission to subdue the peerless general, and was rewarded by ten groups of Tang Dynasty Mo sword soldiers in the system, which increased the reserve of Tang Dynasty Mo sword soldiers in the system to one hundred and twenty-eight groups, with a total of 76,800 Tang Dynasty Mo sword soldiers.

Soon Liu Ji and his entourage led hundreds of horses to the west gate of Pingliang City, and many war horses were carrying two bulging hemp bags.

"You are a caravan of the Jin Kingdom? What kind of goods are you carrying? "An officer of the Qingyi tribe at the gate of the city, with a few soldiers, stopped Liu Ji and others.

Liu Ji said to the Qingyi officer with a smile on his face: "This general, we are indeed a caravan of the Jin Kingdom, and this time we are transported to Pingliang City to sell refined salt. ”

Although there are many natural salt wells in the 100,000 mountains, but the population of the Dongban tribes is large, coupled with the backward salt-making technology, salt has always been a very sought-after thing in the 100,000 mountains, and many caravans in the Jin Kingdom have earned huge profits by selling salt to the Dongban tribes.

These refined salts were prepared for Liu Ji and them by the defenders of the border city in Xiangzhou before Liu Ji and the others entered the 100,000 Great Mountain.

The officer of the Qingyi tribe looked at the Jin caravan in front of him, frowned and asked Liu Ji, "Why are almost all the people in your caravan wearing masks?" And refined salt is easy to sell in all tribes, why did you come all the way to Pingliang City? Don't you know that the Qing Yi have already started a war with the Bai Miao people? ”

After entering the 100,000 Mountain, the puppet bodyguards under Liu Ji were still wearing iron masks and did not take them off.

"This general, almost all of these people under my hands are slaves that I ransomed back, there are people everywhere, and there are many people from the Western Regions, wearing masks can save a lot of trouble, the reason why I came to transport refined salt to Pingliang City to sell is to redeem several of my relatives by the way, I heard that my relatives were sold to Pingliang City." Liu Ji said while quietly stuffing ten taels of silver to the Qingyi officer, and this rhetoric is what Liu Ji has said a long time ago, before entering some Qingyi cities, Liu Ji also used this rhetoric to fool the Qingyi officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.

The discipline of the Qingyi army can be said to be very poor, so Liu Ji's journey, when passing through the Qingyi city, as long as he uses silver, he is basically invincible.

"Oh, it turns out that you came to Pingliang City to redeem your relatives! Recently, many Jin caravans have come to Pingliang City, all to ransom people, so go in! After the officer of the Qingyi tribe received ten taels of silver, he immediately became full of smiles, and he didn't even let the soldiers under his command inspect the goods, so he let Liu Ji and the others enter Pingliang City.

After Liu Ji and the people immediately swaggered into Pingliang City, he quickly rented a large courtyard through the Jin merchants in the city.

After all the people were settled, Fan Xu couldn't help but ask Liu Ji again: "Lord, do you need us to contact those elite soldiers who have infiltrated Pingliang City?" ”

Liu Ji patted Fan Xu's shoulder, "Don't worry!" You'll understand tonight, everyone is tired enough on this day, rest first, everyone is busy at night! ”

At this time, in a study room in the Tusi Mansion in Pingliang City of the Qingyi Clan, Wumeng Ago, the Tusi of the Qingyi Clan, said to the strategist Nanrong Yulong with an angry face: "What is Wumeng Zhuolie going to do!" In five days, millions of troops and clansmen in Hegu City were lost, and if the fight continued like this, it would not take a few days for the people of Hegu City to be wiped out by Wumeng Zhuolie! No, Umeng Zhuolie must be stopped from doing this brutally! ”

The strategist Nanrong Yulong pondered for a while and said: "Lord Tusi, King Wumeng Zhuolie obviously wants to make up for his mistakes, because the previous mistake of King Wumeng Zhuolie in command made the military fortress of Zhangqi City fall in just two days, if King Wumeng Zhuolie returns to Pingliang City like this, even if Lord Tusi lets King Wumeng Zhuolie continue to serve as the first heir, the leaders of the various tribes of the Qingyi tribe and the generals in the army will inevitably raise objections. If King Wumeng Zhuolie doesn't want to give up the position of the next Tusi, he can only fight! ”

Tusi Wumeng Aguo still said angrily: "That Wumeng Zhuolie can't take the lives of millions of our Qingyi tribe to do it, five days!" In just five days, our Qingyi people have lost more than a million lives in Hegu City! ”

Strategist Nanrong Yulong suddenly showed a smile at this time and said: "Lord Tusi, in the past, my subordinates always thought that King Wumeng Zhuolie was mediocre in ability and was not the most ideal heir of the next Tusi, but this time my subordinates were a little impressed by King Wumeng Zhuolie. ”

Tusi Wumeng Aguo frowned slightly and asked, "What did Mr. Nanrong say this?" ”

Strategist Nanrong Yulong said: "Lord Tusi, although our Qing Yi tribe lost millions of people in five days in Hegu City, according to reliable information, the losses of the Bai Miao and its affiliated ethnic groups have also reached more than 600,000, and in the face of our Qing Yi tribe's attack at all costs, the Bai Miao and their affiliated armies have retreated to 60 miles away from Hegu City, which shows that the Bai Miao army is afraid, and in this way, the situation in the eastern province is also stable. ”

After a pause, the strategist Nanrong Yulong continued: "It seems that King Wumeng Zhuolie will still be able to hold on to the scene at the critical moment, and Lord Tusi does not have to worry that the armies of the Bai Miao clan and its affiliated tribes will attack the central province of our Qingyi tribe." ”

The words of the strategist Nanrong Yulong made Tusi Wumeng Ago's face much better, after all, Wumeng Zhuolie was his eldest son, Wumeng Zhuolie could do something, and as a father, he also had a light on his face.

"But if we continue to fight like this, the loss of our Qingyi tribe is too great, and even if we repel the Bai Miao tribe at that time, our Qingyi tribe will have a big loss of vitality this time." Tusi Umeng Ago said with a frown.

"Lord Tusi, in this battle between the two clans, our Qingyi clan can be said to have responded in a hurry, and only by working hard can we recover the disadvantage!"

"Mr. Nanrong, do you still need to let Umon Ergu go to Hegu City?"

"Lord Tusi, since King Wumeng Zhuolie has blocked the army of the Bai Miao clan and its affiliated tribes in Hegu City, then let Wumeng Ergu continue to stay in the Western Province to guard against the Jin State's broken army!"

"Then let Wumeng Zhuolie continue to stay in Hegu City, and try to send more reinforcements to Wumeng Zhuolie from the Central Province."

Listening to Tusi Wumeng Aguo's words, the corners of the strategist Nanrong Yulong's mouth curled slightly, he didn't take Wumeng Zhuolie's 30,000 taels of gold for nothing.
