When the two arrived in Orcheng, they found that everything was normal here, but Lao Jiu always felt that something was wrong. That night, he gave a secret order, and the army marched north at full speed, and captured the cities of Durhan and Kobdo in the southwest, and in the southeast, the cities of Ullan.

Lao Jiu's order was very abrupt, and there seemed to be no warning. And the garrison of the Xiaoyao Empire is almost no more than two hundred kilometers away from the two cities, so before dawn, the Xiaoyao Empire launched a sudden sneak attack.

In the face of the unprepared defenders of the Mongol Empire, who were several times their own enemies, almost in a short period of time, the two cities were announced to be destroyed one after another. After the army rushed into the city, they immediately occupied the teleportation array, and then began to clean up the remnants of the Mongol Empire.

The next morning, when the sun rose, both cities fell into the hands of the Empire. But before Lao Jiu had time to rejoice, there was bad news from the front line, the army of the Xiaoyao Empire was ambushed by other imperial troops.

As soon as he received the news, Lao Jiu sent elite troops to respond, but everything happened too quickly. The 400,000 troops of the Xiaoyao Empire in the rear of Ulan City were completely defeated, and in just one morning, they lost nearly 300,000 troops, and only hundreds of thousands fled back.

Then Lao Jiu received news that the city of Abashan and the city of Balkhan had been occupied by the Kazakh Empire and the Russian Empire, and nearly four million troops of the two empires had officially settled in the Mongol Empire, and in their plan, they were originally going to take over the two cities captured by Lao Jiu today.

But who knows that Lao Jiu was still one step ahead, so he could only clean up the recruits of the Xiaoyao Empire along the way. In just one morning, Lao Jiu lost 300,000 soldiers, which made Lao Jiu very annoyed.

Fortunately, he launched a surprise attack overnight, otherwise these 300,000 people would have died in vain. And the armies of the two countries, which have won a great victory, obviously have no intention of letting go like this. The armies of the Kazakh Empire and the Russian Empire went directly south and began to take the two cities captured by Lao Jiu.

They were clearly preparing to take the two cities in a flash before the Loose Army could gain a foothold. The two armies each have a million people, and they are all elites above level seventy. With Lao Jiu's current strength, it is indeed difficult to hold the two cities.

At present, the average number of elite troops in the two cities is about 200,000, and it is almost impossible to rely on the average level of forty recruits to defend the two cities. For this reason, Lao Jiu directly made a ruthless move, and what he couldn't get would not be left to the enemy.

So he opened the north gates of the two cities, so that all the NPC civilians in the city fled to the north, and all those who stayed in the city, regardless of the old and young, were killed. And let the soldiers of the city set fire everywhere, and burn all the city that could be burned.

He immediately issued an order for the recruits to retreat, so that all the recruits north of the Mongol Empire should withdraw to the south of Orcheng, and all the imperial personnel who fled south along the road were slaughtered. The NPCs who forced the two cities could only flee north.

In addition, all the city defenses of the two cities were completely destroyed by him, and in just one day, with the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people, the two cities were almost demolished into ruins. At this time, the armies of the two empires were still on their way south.

Tens of millions of NPCs fled north, which almost collapsed the Mongol Empire. And when the two empires learned about the situation in the two cities, they were so angry that they almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood. After plundering countless supplies, Lao Jiu began to retreat with his army.

All the troops began to be stationed in the waters of Lake Gillast, and the elite troops of the Easy Empire began to be stationed in Or, defending at the forefront. Now letting these recruits with an average of level 40 participate in the war of level 70 is almost like delivering food.

Therefore, Lao Jiu must think of another way, otherwise these recruits will be considered useless. Now it seems that his military vision is still not long-term enough, so that the current Xiaoyao Empire, with its high-end combat power, is not comparable to other empires at all.

Of the 5 million recruits that had been mobilized, there were now less than 4.5 million left. Although more than 500,000 people have been sacrificed, the level of these recruits has indeed been improved too slowly, which makes Lao Jiu not only a little headache.

After much consideration, Lao Jiu decided to let these people return to the Easy Empire. Because at present, there are still nearly half of the territory of the Xiaoyao Empire, which has not been developed. And these regions basically belong to the north of the empire.

Most of the northern frontier of the Empire is covered in snow and ice, and the climate is very harsh. When Lao Jiu led the army and opened up his territory on the Snow Wolf Plain, he suffered a lot of crimes. He knew that in addition to the battlefield, it should be the most suitable training ground for recruits.

It's just that in this way, it is a step slower to improve the strength of recruits again. The advantage is that it can greatly reduce the mortality rate of soldiers. Now that he has lost the advantage of the battlefield of the Mongol Empire, Lao Jiu has to consider retreating.

However, before evacuating the Mongol Empire, Lao Jiu decided to dispose of the cities he had conquered first. If you abandon it like this, it will simply be cheaper for the two empires of Kazakhstan and Russia. And giving it to the Chinese Empire, this is not in line with Lao Jiu's character.

Therefore, he began to contact Zhao Yongsheng and decided to sell these four cities to the Huaxia Empire at a low price, which would be better than cheapening the enemy. I just don't know what price Huaxia can give, but in Lao Jiu's opinion, as long as he can be satisfied.

"Hi...... Minister Zhao, I thought you were going offline to rest. As soon as the video was connected, Lao Jiu said half-jokingly.

"I want to rest this old bone, but today's young people don't make people worry!" Zhao Yongsheng said a little helplessly, "Say, what's the matter with you kid looking for me?" ”

"Hey...... Look at what you always say, I can't talk to you if it's okay. Lao Jiu said with a hippie smile, "Aren't you always well-informed?" Recently, I heard that the Empire is preparing to auction off the four cities captured by the Mongol Empire. What do you think? Do you have any ideas? ”

"Uh...... You stinky boy, the conspiracy is no longer playing, and you have started to play with my old man! Zhao Yongsheng was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, and said very dissatisfied.

"I can't help it, the current Mongol Empire is not profitable for me at all. I'm not like you, I think about long-term interests, I only care about the short-term. Lao Jiu said with his hands spread.

"Today's Mongol Empire is almost dead in name, and my goal has been achieved. If I continue to stay in the territory of the Mongol Empire, it will not benefit me at all, so I am ready to withdraw my troops, but unfortunately, I am a little reluctant to these cities! ”

"You kid, don't mess with me here, I don't know what you think?" Zhao Yongsheng frowned and said, "But have you ever thought that the Huaxia Empire has been fighting for more than a year, and there are still extra funds there?" Can't you make more contributions to the Chinese Empire? ”

"Don't put a top hat on me, I still have a big family to support." Lao Jiu said with a sad face, "Conquer these cities, the materials we consume alone are billions, and the soldiers have died nearly a million, you say that it is easy for us." ”

"Do you really think the intelligence department below me is a showmanship? Or is it that Huaxia has been fighting for more than a year, and even the most basic material consumption has not been counted? Zhao Yongsheng directly rolled his eyes and said, "What's more, when you were plundering the Mongol Empire, we also helped you involve the other two empires." ”

"Is that what I exchanged for the materials in the Mongol Empire?" Lao Jiu said a little speechlessly, "We also said at the beginning, the captured city can be given to you first, as for the price?" Then it's up to you, after all, I'll give you the priority. ”

"I personally advise you, it's better to give yourself a step, after all, the only thing you can rely on in the end is Huaxia." Zhao Yongsheng looked at Lao Jiu and said meaningfully.

"Of course I understand this, but if I blindly sacrifice my own interests in vain, I guess in the end, I won't be able to leave anything behind, right?" Lao Jiu shook his head and said very calmly, "In this way, let's go according to the auction price of the system." ”

"According to the system's auction regulations, the price of such a main city starts at 500 million gold coins. You just have to look at it, and I don't have to auction it separately, what do you think? This is my biggest concession, after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch. ”

"Alright then, I'll contact you now, hold an emergency meeting, and I'll let you know as soon as the results come out." Zhao Yongsheng frowned and thought about it, and then replied to Lao Jiu.

After the two hung up the video, Lao Jiu didn't go offline, just stayed in Orcheng and waited quietly for news. The efficiency of the Huaxia side is still very high, but it is just over an hour, and they have discussed the results. Finally, after communicating with Lao Jiu, it was decided to purchase each city at a price of 600 million gold coins.

Early the next morning, Lao Jiu issued an order to withdraw his troops, first more than 4 million recruits, and began to withdraw from the territory of the Mongol Empire. At the same time, a fleet of 500 warships of the Empire also left for the port of Kirin to stand by.

And these more than 4 million recruits will be sent by the fleet to the northern frontier of the Xiaoyao Empire, where they will start their new training life. And Lao Jiu took 500,000 with the elite soldiers of the Empire. After the Chinese army took over the city, it also began to withdraw from the territory of the Mongol Empire.

And these 500,000 elites of the Easy Empire, Lao Jiu directly let them be stationed in the Northwest City, as well as the Northeast City. After all, outside the current Qilin Pass, south of the North and South Boundary River, it has been recaptured by the Xiaoyao Empire, which originally belonged to the territory of the Xiaoyao Empire.

At this point, Huaxia did not compete with the Xiaoyao Empire, after all, the Xiaoyao Empire was here, which could greatly ensure the stability of China's northern territory, not to mention, but also block the southward movement of the Russian Empire and restrict the development of the Russian Empire. This is simply something that Huaxia cannot ask for.
