Chapter 723 Puyang County
The Far North.
Xu Fang found an ice cave to recuperate.
Ling Tao and Fu Hu encountered a group of one-horned white bears and a group of black-bellied snow eagles, and they lost their cars to protect the handsome.
There were more than 2,000 people, and in the end there were only two of them left.
But it almost wiped out a group of black-bellied snow eagles, and the one-horned white bears also suffered heavy losses.
With such a big record, it was caused by the last moment, when Fu Hu ordered the remnants of less than a hundred high-ranking puppets to explode together.
The power created by this evil technique shocked even Ling Tao and Fu Hu.
It's horrible.
Then Ling Tao had a plan in his heart, this plan was clear to him, making him frightened, and once it was implemented, it would definitely make the Moon Continent set off a bloody storm, causing huge disaster consequences, and they would also become human beings, including demons and monsters, they would never be at peace, and finally end up like the old sect leader.
This plan is crazy and dehumanizing.
The Rocky Pass has always been a constant war.
In the ice and snow, the front of the rocky pass has been filled by the barbarian's corpse more than a foot high, and now the barbarian can climb up as long as the barbarian carries a log and puts it on the wall.
The fighting became more and more brutal, and preliminary statistics showed that no less than 200,000 people died on both sides, and of course more than half of those who died as the attacking side.
Reinforcements from various countries are coming in a steady stream, otherwise if this situation continues, it won't take half a month, and I'm afraid there won't be a few people left in the Guannai extermination army.
The Huwei Army also lost thousands of people, and this is why Liu Guozhong always uses the Huwei Army as a reserve, and before the critical moment, let them recuperate in the rear, and use them to support wherever there is a crisis.
Lan Fang is now a lot haggard and thinner, but he has a little more iron-blooded temperament, Zhu Feng has less elegant demeanor, and his face is resolute.
Liang Mao broke his leg because he fell, but he didn't get out of the line of fire, because of his inconvenience, he added a lot of wounds to his body, but he also had a sharp temperament.
More than 20,000 soldiers of the Tiger Power Army have been tempered by life and death, and they have become even more powerful.
The more leisurely one was Lan Kai, who was stationed in a cave that was only attacked by a few masters, because he never let his guard down, scared him back with a god-killing crossbow, and seriously injured one of the masters, and few people came to harass him since.
The masters of the Qin State have arrived one after another, but the rebellious Central Plains monks have not weakened their offensive, and they still use wheel warfare and the method of concealing a surprise attack by an army, which has exhausted the masters in the Troubled Stone Pass.
Qin Kang had already made a plan, just wait for all the help of the Qin State to arrive, and annihilate the rebellious monks and barbarians in one fell swoop.
And Zhang Xian, who was far away in the territory of Qin, had already arrived in Zhuoyan City, the capital of Zhuo County.
The tragic situation of Zhuoyan City is no worse than that of Zhuoer City, there are demon beast corpses everywhere, the city wall has collapsed in several places, civilians inside and outside the city are cleaning up the corpses of demon beasts, and officers and soldiers are repairing the collapsed city wall.
It's a busy scene.
There was a heavy and mournful atmosphere in the city.
There are dozens of large graves on a loess hill outside the city, which are the graves of the officers and soldiers and civilians who died by this beast tide.
Along the way, Zhang Xian saw that the villages and small towns along the road were basically destroyed, and it is said that the people here were warned in advance, and most of them withdrew with their families into the nearby big cities, and after the animal tide receded, many people had already returned to rebuild their homes.
This beast tide hit Zhuojun quite hard, with heavy losses of personnel and property, and Bao Zong was busy and haggard.
He reported the loss to the court in a flash report and asked for assistance.
The offices of the officials in the city have been occupied by the wounded, and all the large and small medical centers have been gathered to treat the wounded.
Merchants and families of all sizes also donated a lot of food and goods as well as much-needed goods.
The arrival of the convoy of the four southern countries made the busy and dizzy city lord Bao Zong barely squeeze out a little time to receive him.
Zhang Xian and the others saw that he was still a very responsible county guard, so they didn't bother him too much.
"You go and get busy, let's rest here for the night, and we'll leave tomorrow, just have a post to entertain you." ”
"Xia Guan is deeply sorry for the threat caused by the beast tide to the lords of the country, fortunately, all the distinguished guests are in danger, otherwise Xia Guan would not be able to atone for his sins. ”
After being polite and explaining that Yi Cheng had entertained the four lords, he left in a hurry.
"The local officials of the Qin State are not sick people. ”
Xiao Jing couldn't help but sigh.
"It is said that Zhuojun is controlled by Xu Chengxiang's family, and this beast tide has a great impact on it, and if it is handled well, it is meritorious, and if it is not handled well, the official position is not guaranteed, and it will also affect Xu Qing, hehe, do you say they can not care. ”
Zhang Xian sneered.
The factional dispute in the Qin State was very fierce, except for the internal dispute within the Qin family in the court, that is, the power struggle between some of the better big families of the Qin family.
This struggle for power extends from the court to the localities.
Why did the Qin Emperor turn a blind eye, in fact, it is also good for the rulers.
The competition at the top is hard goods, and the bottom is soft power.
The winning or losing of the competition at the top is supported by the soft power below.
The powerful people in the DPRK and China all run some forces in the local area, and only when these forces develop well can they be competitive.
Emperor Qin took a fancy to this, so he didn't have to worry about more than half of the county's government affairs.
In fact, there are still a lot of insiders here, and Zhang Xian knows it.
An emperor with a huge territory, the emperor's art is naturally skillful, otherwise he can sit in that position.
Rest overnight in Zhuoyan City, and set off the next day, you will enter Puyang County.
Bao Zong personally sent out Shili and repeatedly apologized because he now had no soldiers to escort the main convoy of the four countries.
Puyang County was the sphere of influence of the Wang family in the court.
Zhang Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was entangled with the Wang family.
A family is not necessarily monolithic, the same is true of the Wang family, Zhang Xian once indirectly killed Wang Kui, who served the secret division of the Qin State by the Wang family, and became friends with Wang Kai, who did not fight or make a deal, and now there is Wang Yan and Wang Yunyan by his side.
When he was about to enter Puyang County, Zhang Xian talked with Wang Yan.
"Puyang County is the territory of your Wang family, and the county guard and county lieutenant are all members of the Wang family?"
"That's not it, in fact, Puyang County is not completely controlled by the Wang family's forces, it can be regarded as the joint management of the Wang family's relatives and the Wang family's side branches, and the Wei General Wang Changhe's family. ”
Wang Yan explained.
"So what kind of person is there named Wang Kui?"
"Oh, doesn't the lord know this person?"
Wang Yan asked in a little surprise.
"When the Marquis of Jinyang was defeated for the first time, he asked me for this person, so I know it. ”
Zhang Xian replied vaguely.
"Oh, since the lord of the kingdom asks, I should tell you. ”
Wang Yan took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, sorted out his thoughts, and then introduced Wang Yulai.
"Wang Kuo is the family of people who have gone all the way to the official career, his father is the uncle of the current head of the family, that is, the original counselor Wang Lu, before Wang Lu retreated, he arranged some of his family members to enter the secret ,、、、、、、、、、、"
