The Zhendong army captured Hongshi City in five days.

Bataro, who fled from Fangcheng at the beginning, was in Hongshi City, cooperating with the people of Northern Xinjiang to defend the city, if it weren't for the Zhendong Army, I am afraid it would have been entangled for a longer time.

After capturing Hongshi City, the Zhendong Army rested in place for two days, filled up the supplies needed for the next attack, and set off for the next town again.

On the side of the Great Zhou, relying on the difference in numbers, they besieged the northern frontier for several days before they could capture a city and prepare to go to the next town. The next city is Xicheng, where they and the Zhendong army will converge.

The Zhendong army led the Great Zhou and occupied Xicheng first, and when the Great Zhou army arrived in Xicheng, it was already three days later.

The Great Zhou sent only 20,000 troops this time, and the leader was the younger brother of the Great Zhou Emperor Huang Danqing, Huang Haiqing. Huang Haiqing was taken aback by the siege speed of the Zhendong army, and after seeing the siege weapons of the Zhendong army, he was quite dissatisfied, he found Zhao Ziyi and threatened that if the Zhendong army could not equip the Great Zhou army with the same weapons, he would give up cooperation and refuse to send troops to help. After saying that, he slammed the curtain and left, only to grin at the anger of the group in the main tent.

Looking at Huang Haiqing's arrogant face, Zhao Ziyang hesitated for a while, "Big brother, this big week has inevitably taken advantage of the fire, and the materials that were originally given to them have already taken advantage of them, and now, they still want more." ”

Zhao Ziyi had a calm face and a bad expression: "If Da Zhou cooperates sincerely, it doesn't hurt to allow him to make this request, but unfortunately, General Ben is very suspicious of Da Zhou's attitude now." ”

Zhao Ziyi has long been quite dissatisfied with Da Zhou's approach this time, when negotiating cooperation in the early stage, according to the number of steel armor and steel knives he gave, Da Zhou will send at least 30,000 soldiers and horses, and now only 20,000 will be out, not to mention, the leader is obviously a short-sighted, short-tempered peasant man, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a sincere helper.

Zhao Ziyi's eyes were cold: Huang Danqing wanted to use Huang Haiqing to test his Zhao Ziyi's bottom line.

"Big brother, what now?"

"Don't worry, Xianglin, how is the progress on Han Nuo's side?"

Han Xianglin on the side replied: "Go back to the general, General Han, they will arrive in Xicheng in another day." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ziyi smiled playfully: "Let's wait and see, if Huang Danqing has some ability, he can understand how he is doing the right thing." ”

After the Zhendong Army captured Xicheng, Mu Qingli followed the reserve army to assist in resting after the war.

The people of Xicheng Han were slaughtered by the people of Northern Xinjiang and had little left, and those who survived also had all kinds of serious illnesses in their bodies, most of which were caused by long-term hunger and fear, Mu Qingli followed behind Mu Lao, and prescribed medicine and treatment to the people one by one, and occasionally there were diseases that Mu Lao could not solve, Mu Qingli would give Mu Lao the answer through the golden finger.

Speaking of golden fingers, as early as the night when Mu Qingli gave the first lecture and explained the method of plague prevention and control, after a blazing feeling surged in her back, she reminded Mu Qingli that her achievements had been achieved, and she had fully unlocked the medical knowledge base.

This is also the reason why she can easily write a compendium of materia medica and give it to Mu Lao.

Regarding the matter of the golden finger, Mu Qingli didn't tell anyone, including Beichen, she would not show it easily, once she showed people, let people know that she had such an anti-heaven system, the possible consequences were much more serious than knowing that she was a goddess, and this was also her last hole card.
