Volume 1 Chapter 70: The Smoke Rises Again
After leaving the camp of the Kexing Division, Yunzhong took Ashur and 2,000 mercenaries day and night to the north of Samagar, and then took the mountains of booty and hundreds of thousands of captives in the city to Montenegro County, the Great Shang Kingdom.
"Actually, I didn't know who you left in Samarau to guard the loot. Looking at the vast procession of captives, a tall, blonde Nord mercenary said, her name was Mathilde, the leader of a small mercenary team, and it was the one who was punched in the stomach by Yunzhong on the day he entered Samara.
"The Jiankun army that was invited for 500,000 gold coins was found by Sabu through his connections. Yun Zhong said lightly, Baibars's energy was beyond his imagination, and even many officials in Jiankun were bribed by him, and his ambitious friend was really a great figure.
Most of the captives of the Jiankun people were released on the spot in the clouds, and now there are 2780,000 Murwei people, as well as about 100,000 Rakshasa people, and the rest, more than 10,000 people are from Dashang or Datang, and 40,000 or 50,000 are from Ding Ling, Yunzhong directly incorporated the big merchants and Datang people and some Ding Ling people into the temporary army, walking on both sides of the team with weapons in hand, a mercenary leader, Belfort from Ding Ling walked in the front with a thousand people, himself and Ashur and most of the Nord mercenaries walked at the end, and in the middle of the team were hundreds of thousands of Murowei and Rakshasa people who were tied by ropesγ
When they arrived in Qingdai City, Yunzhong would gradually give these captives freedom, but now, on the one hand, Qingdai City was in urgent need of population, and on the other hand, Yunzhong could not allow the population to defect to the Rakshasa army or Temujin during the war, so he could only use such escort measures.
"Among all the sufferings in the world, the most bitter is war. β
Dragging a large group of prisoners, the marching speed was extremely slow, but fortunately, most of the tribes in the Murowei grassland participated in the war for hegemony between the Bojin and Kexing tribes, and no one embarrassed this huge team.
Half a month later, the team entered the territory of the Great Shang Kingdom, and after more than ten days, they finally arrived at Qingdai City.
"It turns out that you are the lord of the Great Shang Kingdom. Ashur looked at Yunzhong, who had already regained his white clothes, and said meaningfully.
"So I can only be Mr. Black with his head and tail hidden in the past few months. Yunzhong smiled faintly.
"But you can't hide it from Temujin. Athru frowned.
Yun Zhong smiled: "Temujin and Pang Zhen have known for a long time, but they won't say it, and they are also unwilling to make the fact that a great merchant nobleman supported Sigu Sutai in the civil war in Murowei to the whole world. β
Ashur thought for a moment and nodded.
Entering the Earl's Palace, Yun Zhong was stunned at the door.
Qiao Shengsheng stood on the opposite side, not Mo Li, who else was.
"What's wrong, I don't know you anymore?" Seeing the appearance in the clouds, Mo Li smiled.
Yunzhong slowly stepped forward and asked, "When did you come?"
Mo Li said: "If the Rongdao is successful, I will come out of the customs, and I have been waiting for you here for more than a month." β
Yunzhong touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "Go out and do some things." β
Mo Li said with a smile: "I heard that you came back with a huge team, walking slower than a snail, the news has already spread here, Mu Ying and Zhu Wu were busy preparing for the placement of these people more than ten days ago." β
"Mo left my sister and threw us out of the clouds. Two stunning women walked out of the courtyard together, it was Fei Na and Wei Ling.
Yun Zhong laughed, and he didn't care about Wei Ling's mouth, but the cultivation of the third daughter really surprised him, Fei Na was at the peak of the earth level, Wei Ling and Mo Li were already heaven level double heavens.
"Did you bring us any good things when you went out?" Wei Ling squinted at Yunzhong, and Fei Na glared at her next to her.
Yun Zhong said: "You don't say it, I really didn't think about it for a while, I did meet a little good thing, I didn't dare to use it, bring it back and share it with the three of you." β
He took out a space bag and handed it to Finah.
Fei Na looked inside the space bag and saw a tuber with purple-red leaves, frowned and asked, "What is this?" a bit like ginseng, but not quite like it. β
Yun Zhong said with a smile: "A heaven-level elixir crystal snow ginseng, it has been four or five thousand years, and it has cultivated its spirituality and can turn into a human form. β
Wei Ling and Mo Li hurriedly came over and looked at the elixir together, and were amazed.
Yun Zhong said: "This thing can not only improve cultivation, but also directly increase longevity, and when I refine it into an elixir in a few days, the four of us will take it together." β
Wei Ling snorted lightly: "You have a little conscience." β
Yunzhong was in a hurry to rush back to Montenegro County, on the one hand, the situation in Murowei was gradually becoming clearer, he had already done what he could, and he could only hand it over to Xigu Sutai and Temujin to solve it himself, on the other hand, there was still a month before the winter was over, and when the weather warmed up, the traffic in Donghai Prefecture of the Rakshasa Kingdom would no longer be affected by the heavy snow, and the war between Dashang and Rakshasa would be rekindled.
"On the Donghai Prefecture, the newly recruited 250,000 troops are still being trained, and even if they can go to the battlefield in a month, they will still be a rabble, so there is nothing to worry about. In the conference hall, Mu Ying was briefing Yunzhong on the recent situation in Montenegro County.
"However, Bekaa Prefecture to the west of Donghai Prefecture has sent 100,000 reinforcements to Donghai Prefecture, but they are all well-trained and well-equipped elite troops, and they will be a formidable enemy. β
Yunzhong nodded: "The Rakshasa country has a vast area and super mobilization ability, but I'm afraid that there will be more than this support army." β
Mu Ying's face was solemn: "Lord is clever, Ye Jia, the queen of the Rakshasa Kingdom, has sent her male pet Grand Duke Solo to lead an army of 700,000 to the east, regardless of consumption, they braved the heavy snow to march, and it is estimated that they can reach Donghai Prefecture within a month." β
Rao Shiyun Zhongzhong had a premonition, and he couldn't help but be taken aback: "700,000 troops, this Queen Yejia is very courageous." Did General Ziyu react in any way?"
Mu Ying nodded and said: "On the one hand, General Ziyu is ready to brave the snow to attack Tengda City in order to seize the initiative on the battlefield, and on the other hand, he has also asked the Shang King for reinforcements through Lord Mu Ziwen of Youzhou, and the Shang King has sent 300,000 troops from the general Wei Qing to the north, and the reinforcements from Qingzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou are also marching to Youzhou, and the 100,000 troops of Buyeo are also on the way. β
Yun Zhong groaned: "A big battle of unprecedented scale, this should be the last battle between Dashang and Rakshasas." β
Mu Ying said: "There is also bad news, the Rakshasa Kingdom seems to have formed an alliance with the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu have gathered 300,000 troops, and it is likely that after the end of the heavy snow season, they will pass through Jiankun and enter the Donghai Prefecture of the Rakshasa Kingdom." β
Yunzhong's face changed drastically.
