When they set out from Ibu City, the team had increased by nearly two hundred, except for more than a dozen mercenaries, the rest were strong men recruited by Resarit and others in the surrounding villages overnight, half of them were young women.

This kind of thing of forcibly recruiting strong men to enrich the army, Yunzhong is also the first time to do it, looking at the Rakshasa young people who are bound by ropes and escorted to the army, Yunzhong's heart is not a taste, but only in the territory of Rakshasa can be used this method, and when it reaches the territory of Ding Ling, you can only use the money to recruit mercenaries honestly.

In the morning, Yun Zhong handed Zhao Xin's letter to Zhao Yun, after Zhao Yun received the letter, he quickly flipped through it, turned around and left without expressing any opinion.

Li Cunxiao came to Yunzhong and asked him what he had shown Zhao Yun, which made Zhao Yun unrelenting, Yunzhong shook his head and didn't say anything, looking at the young man who walked at the end of the line, he knew in his heart that a noble child would not go from Dashang to Datang for no reason, how many grievances and how helpless they were, I am afraid that only Zhao Yun himself knows.

That night, in another Rakshasa town, dozens of mercenaries were recruited, and more than 200 strong men were recruited in the surrounding villages, and soon after setting off the next day, they entered the territory of Ding Ling Country, with a total strength of more than 1,500 people.

Sabu, an old friend in the clouds, has been waiting here for a long time with two thousand people, and has brought the latest news about Loulan.

"After Ahur fully occupied Loulan, all the people who did not believe in Huzi in Loulan launched a great purge, and those who did not want to convert were tortured at best, and they were slaughtered at worst, in less than two months, the dead were not less than 100,000, causing the people's resentment to boil, and even many nobles could not tolerate it, and secretly sent people to contact the Great Xia Army, last month, Sima Han Sui personally led an army of 50,000 in Liangzhou, Great Xia, and invaded Loulan. In the middle of the camp, Sabu said to Yunzhong and Luo Kai and the others.

Yun Zhong's face was a little ugly: "It seems that in addition to the hundreds of thousands of fanatical Huzi cultists, there is another enemy that is even more difficult to deal with. ”

Luo Kai and the others also had solemn faces, Yun Zhong was right, compared to those rabble Huzi disciples, the well-trained Great Xia army was undoubtedly a more formidable opponent.

Yunzhong pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Sabu, are all the troops you can give me this time here?"

Sabu nodded a little embarrassed: "The domestic situation in Ding Ling Country has not been very stable, over the years, Lord Baibars has integrated all the mercenary teams and formed a large army to go to Murowei, and the number of troops we can organize in the country is only more than 2,000 people for the time being." ”

Yun Zhongshou touched his forehead and said, "No matter, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

Looking up at Sabu: "Our march in the territory of Ding Ling should be about twenty days, these days, please ask Mr. Sabu to contact those mercenary leaders for me, and it will be a strength to increase one's strength." ”

"Li Dao," Yun Zhong said to the Liangzhou veteran, "how is the training of the hundreds of recruits?"

Li Wei replied: "I just got my weapons together, but my morale is still low, and there have been dozens of deserters in the past two days. ”

Yunzhong nodded: "If you can run, you don't have to chase them, give them a way to live, those who stay, try to take care of their lives, it's winter soon, don't let them suffer from cold and hunger, and try to prepare some armor these days, and use money, although discuss with Helian Peng." ”

Li Dao nodded and took the order.

Zhou Yu muttered: "Second brother, in this bitter cold land in the north of the desert, the harsh winter is coming soon, do we still want to continue to march? I mean, is it really difficult to recuperate in Ding Ling for a winter, while recruiting troops and buying horses, and at the same time recuperate and recuperate, and then march again next spring, than to have insufficient troops and poor training now, and to fight against two powerful enemy armies with more than 3,000 rabble. ”

When Luo Kai heard this, he was anxious and was about to speak, but he saw Yunzhong waving his hand at him.

Yunzhong said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, we will recuperate here for a winter, and when we set off again, Han Sui had already exterminated Ahur." ”

Sabu interjected: "Lord Yun thinks Han Sui will win?" But it is clear that Ahur has more soldiers, and he can also get a steady stream of reinforcements and material support from Da Wan, although Han Sui has Da Xia as the backing, but Da Xia has expanded the land in the Western Regions for thousands of miles over the years, and the battle line is too long, and it is not easy to supply from Liangzhou to Loulan. ”

Yunzhong said with a smile: "I have seen Han Sui, that is a real tiger, fierce and cunning, since he has sent troops, he will not fight a battle that he is not sure of, plus the Great Xia Iron Cavalry, the world is invincible, no matter how many rabbles there are in Ahur, no matter how strong the support given by Dawan, it is by no means Han Sui's opponent." ”

turned his face to Zhou Yu again: "Compared with the fierce generals of Great Xia, even if we recuperate and train for a winter, we are still a rabble. So we can only brave the cold and wind and snow to continue the march, take advantage of Han Sui's inattention, occupy one or two cities in Loulan, and then use this as a base to confront Han Sui and Ahur for a long time, on the one hand, we have Prince Luokai, who has the righteous name of recovering the country, on the other hand, whether it is Ahur or Han Sui, it is a labor expedition, and after a long time, it will be easy to make mistakes, and when the time comes, it will be our opportunity. ”

Zhou Yu pondered for a while and nodded: "It's just that in this way, our battle must have been quite aggrieved in the early stage." ”

Rand sighed: "As a weak country, Loulan is bound to live aggrieved when surrounded by strong enemies, not just because this battle was aggrieved. ”

Everyone nodded and sighed, Luo Kai remembered that the royal family of Loulan was almost wiped out because of the game between the major powers, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and he actually shed tears on the spot, and Lante comforted him for a while before he stopped.

After the meeting was dismissed, everyone was not in a very good mood, and they went back to their tents in twos and threes, full of pessimism about this expedition.

When everyone left, Yun Zhong walked outside the tent, facing the southeast, raised his head slightly, his gaze seemed to drift thousands of miles away, if his feeling was right, there was a huge threat lurking there, more deadly than Han Sui and Ahur.

Thousands of miles to the southeast, at the junction of Murowei and Datang, in the clouds in mid-air, a huge monster with a dragon head and a black tiger body was roaring angrily, and opposite him, there were four huge white wolves, each with teeth and claws, glaring at the monster angrily.

Qi Pi shouted in a terrible voice: "You four little dogs, the person I want to kill is also the enemy of Great Xia, why do you, as the loyal dog of the emperor of Great Xia, stop me!"

A white wolf walked to the front: "Our master has an order, as long as Yunzhong is still within my Great Xia's sphere of influence, we must not let him be harmed." ”

He was furious and roared like thunder, but he soon realized that he couldn't suppress the four white wolves, so he calmed down: "What do you mean, as long as he is out of the range of the four white wolves and four white deer in Great Xia, he won't block me from looking for him?"

The four white wolves were silent.

He laughed, "Okay, then I'll wait a few more days!" and turned and disappeared into the clouds.

The four white wolves also disappeared at the same time, and a cyan giant bird appeared from the air and turned into a man in green clothes, Yun Mengjun looked at the place where the four white wolves disappeared and fell into deep thought.
