Jiuhuangling exchanged 15,000 captives from Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, for two million silver, and then raised a large sum of silver. The chieftain, the commander of the army, Daran, and Shidewa each recruited more than 10,000 reservists with this silver, and formed a new army, which was named the Fourth Army. The Fourth Army has four divisions, each division is a 10,000-strong team, with a total of 40,000 soldiers, and the father of the soldier Da Ran, who is over 60 years old, is the commander.

The number of troops in the Nine Desolation Mountains reached 162,000. In addition to the 16th Division of the Fourth Army, Shi Dewa also formed a 2,000-strong sword team. One thousand of them were snatched from the sword team of Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, and the other thousand were made by the armory room of Jiuhuangling to imitate the swords of the dynasty.

In the three months after the victory of Cen Lai Mountain, the chieftain, the soldier lord Da Ran and Shi Dewa were busy establishing and training the Fourth Army and the sword team, coupled with the complex and treacherous terrain of the Nine Desolation Ridge and the geographical advantage of not being afraid of the attack of the dynasty army, the chieftain, the soldier lord Da Ran and Shi Dewa were paralyzed, which made the Nine Desolate Ridge suffer a huge blow.

The army of Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, suffered heavy losses in the Nine Desolation Mountains, and Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, faced this great shame and vowed to destroy the entire people of the Nine Desolation Mountains.

As one of the seven military commanders of the dynasty, Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, naturally has an extraordinary strategy. He realized that no matter how many troops he sent, it would be difficult to defeat the soldiers in the Nine Desolation Mountains, and if he wanted to destroy the soldiers and then the Nine Desolation Mountains, he had to lure out the soldiers of the Nine Desolation Mountains.

At this time, the Luyang Mansion Guard said that we could use the method of slaughtering the common people of the Nine Desolation Mountains to provoke the Nine Desolation Mountains to send troops to attack our mansion city, and we could use this to eliminate the soldiers.

Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, hesitated again and again, and finally acquiesced in the actions to be carried out by the Luyang Mansion Guard.

Luyang Mansion is adjacent to the Nine Desolation Mountains, and the Luyang Mansion Guard first strengthened the patrol and vigilance, blocking all the roads into the Nine Desolation Mountains, and not allowing a person to enter the Nine Desolation Mountains. Then he secretly assembled 100,000 troops near the Daling Mountain of the Nine Desolation Mountains.

On the night of the day when the Luyang Mansion Guard sent people to send two million silver to the Nine Desolate Mountains and redeem the 15,000 prisoners, as soon as it was dark, the Luyang Mansion Guards selected 50,000 light infantry from the 100,000 troops gathered outside the Daling Mountain, and he ordered Chu Wei, the commander of the Luyang Mansion, to lead the 50,000 infantry and quietly drive into the Nine Desolation Mountains.

Half an hour later, the 50,000 infantry of Chu Wei, the commander of Luyang Mansion, encountered the 500 soldiers in Jiuhuangling, who were in charge of monitoring the enemy's movements, and these 500 soldiers were stationed in a wooden house here.

These 500 soldiers relaxed their vigilance tonight, they thought that the people of Luyang Mansion had just redeemed the prisoners with silver during the day, and it was impossible to do anything at night, so they all went to bed early.

The soldiers of Chu Wei, the commander of Luyang Mansion, quietly touched into the wooden house, and almost all of the five hundred soldiers in Jiuhuangling were killed in their sleep.

After more than an hour of rapid marching, Chu Wei, the commander of Luyang Prefecture, moved quickly and 50,000 lightly armed infantry to the southern part of Nanling.

Chu Wei, the commander of Luyang Prefecture, gave an order, and the soldiers began to look for houses everywhere, and when they saw houses, they entered, and after entering the houses, they cut down people when they saw them, and then burned down the houses.

The soldiers marched forward, constantly searching for scattered houses, and carried out a massacre of civilians.

When Shi Dewa, who got the news, came to the middle of Nanling with the Third Army, Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, led 50,000 lightly armed infantry to leave here and rushed to the pass of Daling Mountain.

Shideva left some soldiers to check the scene, and then led the formation to chase after the enemy.

Shi Dewa led his troops to chase all the way to Daling Mountain, and after passing the pass, he did not see a single soldier of the enemy.

In front of him was the Luyang Mansion under the jurisdiction of Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, and Shi Dewa had to return to Jiuhuangling indignantly.

The South Ridge of the Nine Barren Mountains is the most desolate place in the Nine Barren Mountains, especially in the southern part of the South Mountains, which is sparsely populated and scattered, making it inconvenient for garrisons. Therefore, the Third Army of the formation led by Shi Dewa, the garrison of Nanling, was stationed in the densely populated north of Nanling.

This also provided conditions for the soldiers of Chu Wei, the commander of Luyang Mansion, to sneak attack the civilian areas in the central part of the southern part of Nanling, but Jiuhuangling and the dynasty had just fought a big battle, and several leaders of Jiuhuangling did not strengthen their defenses, and they did not expect that Chu Wei, the military commander of Luyang Mansion, would massacre the civilians.

After investigation, Shi Dewa's soldiers found that more than 4,500 civilians in the central and southern parts of Nanling were killed by the soldiers of Chu Wei, the commander of Luyang Prefecture, many children and women were not spared, and more than 2,000 houses were burned down.

The heinous massacre of civilians in Jiuhuangling caused by Chu Wei, the military commander of Luyang Mansion, made all the Changyu people in Jiuhuangling indignant, and many young men ran to the four military marshals and signed up to join the army, they wanted to take up arms to capture Chu Wei, the military commander of Luyang Mansion, and Zheng Kai, the guard of Luyang Mansion and the king of Qiulu, to avenge the innocent people who died tragically.

The chieftain complied with the will of the people and agreed to the request of the four military commanders to send troops to the dynasty, and he made the chief the commander of the army, responsible for the unified mobilization of the army.

The chieftain made pre-war arrangements: the newly formed Fourth Army remained in Jiuhuangling, and was responsible for protecting the people of Jiuhuangling while training; Shidewa's Third Army took the lead, the second army of the soldier lord Daran responded in the rear, and the chief led the first army to escort food and other military supplies in the rear, as the general response of the front army.

On the day of the army, the chief brought the officers of the formation, some soldiers, and many heads of the family to the front of Qionghang Mountain.

There are some caves in Qionghang Mountain, which are the burial places of the Changyu people in Beiling, and the corpses are placed in wooden coffins and then in the caves, and the bodies of husbands and wives are placed in a coffin, which is the custom of the Changyu people for many years.

The cave is the ancestral cave, and the chief brought everyone to Qionghang Mountain to worship the ancestors.

In front of one of the largest caves grows a thousand-year-old tree, which is the embodiment of the nose-twisting dragon god who shelters all the flowers and trees in the Nine Desolation Mountains. The chieftain brought people here to worship the god Nagarjuna.

In the open space between the big cave of Qionghang Mountain and the dragon god tree, the Changyu people killed a hundred cattle. Everyone present knelt on the ground, holding a bowl of ox blood in their hands. The chieftain recited the prayer aloud, after which the people sang the old ballad. In the end, everyone drank the blood of the ox.

The horns were placed in the cave, and a few horns were tied to the tree of the dragon god.

After the morning festival, the soldiers drank and ate meat with their families, and at noon, the morale of the soldiers set out.
