There are hundreds or thousands of large and small oases scattered in the Jinzhou desert, which are occupied by large and small Qiang and Hu forces. Although they are mainly Qiang and Hu tribes, they fight against each other much more frequently than in Yanzhou. , so the changes and replacements of dynasties and kingdoms were much more frequent than in Yanzhou.
Chen Hai's thoughts were flying far away. Ning Chan'er looked at the scene in front of her, but her face was full of innocence and curiosity as she asked Hu Bilie:
When Chen Hai said this, Ning Chan'er not only didn't get angry, but also smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed by Chen Hai's praise.
Over there is the southern edge of the oasis. There are seventeen or eight poplar trees with knotted roots deep in the sand. At this time, three or five dead bodies in tattered clothes are hanging on each tree, attracting seven or eight vultures hovering in the air. In mid-air, they were waiting for Chen Hai and the others to pass by and then fly down to peck at the corpse.
Chen Hai cupped his hands towards Hu Bilie and Fan Dachun, and said with a smile: "The maid next to me has a very bad temper and a sinister mind. She has tried to kill me several times. I should have sold myself out a long time ago. Thank you very much, Lord Fan, for your willingness this time." Take over!" "..." After all, Fan Dachun is a strong martial artist in the early stage of Mingqiao Realm. He was attracted by Ning Chan'er for only a short moment. At this time, he smashed the jujube wood case in front of him and destroyed the black sheath spirit sword behind him. , just as he was about to ask Chen Hai and Ning Chaner about their origins, they felt that the true energy and mana in the Secret Palace of the Linghai was boiling uncontrollably, like water rushing into a boiling oil pot, and the violent true energy was flowing into the twelve profound veins. Rushing, suddenly unable to suppress the rioting Zhenyuan, a mouthful of blood spurted out, shouting: "Ni Ling Powder!"
"Are they talking about me?" Ning Chaner asked Chen Hai innocently, pointing to her nose.
Historically, the ancient Western Qiang Road connecting the Jin and Yan states overlapped with the Xixia Corridor.
Although Ning Chan'er didn't show her true face, her smile was charming. Even if Hu Bilie and Fan Dachun realized that Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er's expressions were too weird at this time, they couldn't stand being fooled by Ning Chan'er's smile. Bewildered.
A country like Xiqiang with a history of five to six hundred years is already quite rare.
"Are they talking about me?" Ning Chaner asked Chen Hai innocently, pointing to her nose.
Seeing Chen Hai and other nine people galloping towards them, there were twenty or thirty armored horse thieves on horseback galloping out of the stone city.
The old forces in these small and medium-sized green states have long been completely destroyed by the war between Yanzhou and Zhu Qiang for many years.
Hu Bilie showed an iron plate that was as dark as ink and engraved with the image of an eagle's head and human body. The horse thieves did not ask any questions. They only said that the leader Fan Dachun was not in the mountains. However, before leaving, they said that Hu Bilie might come over in the next few days and specifically ordered them to ask for it. Hospitality.
In short, the situation in the Golden State Desert is much more complicated than imagined. In many cases, the enemy and ourselves are confused.
Even so, the Western Qiang Kingdom once lost more than 90% of its city and was almost destroyed twenty years ago. At this time, the country was basically rebuilt on the ruins after the Yan troops withdrew to the west.
Over there is the southern edge of the oasis. There are seventeen or eight poplar trees with knotted roots deep in the sand. At this time, three or five dead bodies in tattered clothes are hanging on each tree, attracting seven or eight vultures hovering in the air. In mid-air, they were waiting for Chen Hai and the others to pass by and then fly down to peck at the corpse.
In that war twenty years ago, no one would admit defeat. In fact, both sides suffered losses.
Large vassal states like Xiqiang usually recruit large groups of horse thieves either explicitly or covertly. In addition to strengthening their own strength, they can also use horse thieves to attack and weaken the enemy's strength. There are also many horse thieves who are themselves princes. The loser in the Qiang struggle for hegemony.
These oases, the smaller ones like Yequshan are only three to five thousand acres and several miles in diameter, while the larger ones are hundreds of miles wide. They are used as a springboard for business travelers to pass through in peacetime and as a springboard for troops to attack in wartime. They are located in the eastern part of Jinzhou. It has a very important position and is collectively known as the Xixia Corridor.
Five hundred miles due south of Yequ Mountain, at the foot of Wushaoling's Rongyang Peak, there is a Crescent Lake oasis with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is completely deserted and is now just a resting place for business travelers passing by.
Hu Bilie showed an iron plate that was as dark as ink and engraved with the image of an eagle's head and human body. The horse thieves did not ask any questions. They only said that the leader Fan Dachun was not in the mountains. However, before leaving, they said that Hu Bilie might come over in the next few days and specifically ordered them to ask for it. Hospitality.
"With so many slaves working outside and no one watching over them, aren't you afraid of them escaping?"
In addition to larger forces such as the Western Qiang Kingdom, many medium-sized Qiang and Hu forces in Jinzhou usually proclaim themselves kings and city lords, and assign officials and titles to the territories they occupy. However, in addition to running farming and animal husbandry businesses and mining minerals, they sometimes also He will act as a horse thief and send troops to rob merchants and other forces.
Historically, the ancient Western Qiang Road connecting the Jin and Yan states overlapped with the Xixia Corridor.
Judging from their clothes and rugged bones and flesh, many of these dead bodies must be escaped slaves who were captured and executed after escaping.
Even so, the Western Qiang Kingdom once lost more than 90% of its city and was almost destroyed twenty years ago. At this time, the country was basically rebuilt on the ruins after the Yan troops withdrew to the west.
Even if a fugitive slave prepared enough water and food and walked on foot in the vast sea of sand, how could he escape the pursuit of horse thieves? And even if you escape to the Crescent Lake Oasis in the south, it is completely deserted. Except for the monster beasts that come out of Wushao Ridge to hunt, there is only a one-in-one chance that you happen to encounter a business traveler passing by and do not hesitate to offend and anger the horse thieves. .

It is difficult to say that this type of force is different from horse thieves; and large groups of horse thieves cannot sustain themselves for a long time just by plundering all directions. They also pay great attention to operating territories, maintaining basic material supplies, or directly joining forces with stronger forces. The power of the vassal states was granted one or two oasis cities to recuperate.
These oases, the smaller ones like Yequshan are only three to five thousand acres and several miles in diameter, while the larger ones are hundreds of miles wide. They are used as a springboard for business travelers to pass through in peacetime and as a springboard for troops to attack in wartime. They are located in the eastern part of Jinzhou.

In addition to strengthening their own strength, they can also use horse thieves to attack and weaken the enemy's strength. There are also many horse thieves who are themselves princes. The loser in the Qiang struggle for hegemony.
Once there was a trace of movement, more than 400 strong horse thieves rushed in frantically, and Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er had no choice but to escape.
Ning Chan'er pressed her slender hand on the ground, and thousands of rays of light bloomed, flowing in all directions against the ground and walls like a spring tide. In an instant, a sparkling spring tide spiritual shield was formed, completely covering the banquet hall. , shouted at Chen Haijiao: "I can only hold on for thirty breaths. If you can't kill these people, we will have no choice but to run away."
The leader Fan Dachun was not in the mountains at this time. Although there were still more than 200 horse thieves stationed in Shicheng, it was difficult to solve major issues, so Hu Bilie and the others had to stay in Shicheng for two days, waiting for Fan Dachun and the others to come back before they could discuss important matters.
Hu Bilie showed an iron plate that was as dark as ink and engraved with the image of an eagle's head and human body. The horse thieves did not ask any questions.

Hospitality.
The old forces in these small and medium-sized green states have long been completely destroyed by the war between Yanzhou and Zhu Qiang for many years.
As for the entire eastern part of Jinzhou, the Pinglu Oasis where the Western Qiang Kingdom is located is the first large-scale oasis with a radius of more than a thousand miles after the Tieliauling in the west of Hexi. The distance between the two is more than 13,000 miles.
Chen Hai's thoughts were flying far away. Ning Chan'er looked at the scene in front of her, but her face was full of innocence and curiosity as she asked Hu Bilie:
In short, the situation in the Golden State Desert is much more complicated than imagined. In many cases, the enemy and ourselves are confused.
As long as foreign forces cannot attack Shizhai in a short time and cannot even draw water from Yequ Lake to obtain supplies, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Yequ Mountain.

If you can't kill these people, we will have no choice but to run away."
Although Yequ Mountain is only five or six hundred miles away from the Xiqiang Ancient Road, for ordinary people, it is an impossible road to cross even if they die. Horse thieves are not afraid that these slaves can escape from Yequ Mountain. .
In that war twenty years ago, no one would admit defeat. In fact, both sides suffered losses.

The oasis only covers an area of three to four thousand acres, and the farthest distance from the edge of the meadow to Little Rock is more than two thousand steps.
The Huben army was defeated, and the Hexi soldiers and horses retreated to Tieliangling, while the soldiers and horses of the Western Qiang Kingdom and the allied forces of the Tibetan and Qiang countries also withdrew to the area west of the Pinglu Oasis.
The Western Qiang State was willing to form an alliance with the Dong family at this time, probably because it deeply felt the threat of annexation from the Tibetan Qiang State.

Between Pinglu Oasis and Tieliu Ridge, the glacier meltwater from Wushaoling has also given birth to a series of hundreds of small and medium-sized oases, like a long bead chain, connecting the two regions. stand up.
A country like Xiqiang with a history of five to six hundred years is already quite rare.

Seeing Chen Hai and other nine people galloping towards them, there were twenty or thirty armored horse thieves on horseback galloping out of the stone city.
Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er also pretended to be ignorant and settled in the stone city of Yequshan. On the second night, Fan Dachun, the leader of the horse thieves, came back with more than a hundred horse thieves and held a banquet in the small stone city to entertain Hu Bilie. A group of people.

In addition to the nine people in the stone hall, including Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er, and Hu Bilie, there were also thirteen horse thieves leaders attending the banquet. In addition to these people, there were more than four hundred elite horse thieves who were not afraid of death outside the stone hall.

"Is it inappropriate for Lieutenant Hu to say this in front of outsiders? Aren't you afraid that your identity will be leaked and the leader of the Xiqiang Kingdom will know that you are secretly colluding with us horse thieves to destroy the marriage between Ye and Dong Ning?

At this time, he responded to Hu Bilie's words with a soft smile, but when he raised his glass to drink, his eyes were fixed on Chen Hai, whose origin was unknown. , Ning Chaner's body was spinning.

"The Dong family in Hexi wants to form an alliance with the Western Qiang Kingdom. It doesn't matter if the leader of the Western Qiang Kingdom forgets the bloody feud. But once the Ye family colludes with the Dong family in Hexi, don't say that we will be suppressed by the Ye family in the Xiqiang country. The Ye family will definitely use the Dong family’s power and will never tolerate you living outside the Xiqiang Ancient Road. By then, I’m afraid even you, Lord Fan, won’t be able to live freely in Yequshan, right?”
The horse thieves occupy a strong stone city and are not afraid of raids by external forces.
A country like Xiqiang with a history of five to six hundred years is already quite rare.
In that war twenty years ago, no one would admit defeat. In fact, both sides suffered losses.
There is indeed no need to release sentinels.

Neither Hexi nor Xiqiang has the ability to divide their forces to control the hundreds of small oases in the Xixia Corridor for a long time. However, both sides will not tolerate the intervention of other forces. They will send troops to sort them out almost every once in a while, and would rather leave them deserted. , and will not tolerate other threats from lying around.
The large oasis of Changchai Lake with a radius of more than 3,000 miles is less than 2,000 miles away from Pinglu oasis in the west. Whoever can unify the large oasis of Changchai Lake is destined to dominate the eastern part of Jinzhou; the fertile soil of 3,000 miles is enough to support dozens of animals. The Wanjia soldiers are even much stronger than the Dong clan.

Chen Hai spread his hands and said: "You seem to be a little more ordinary now, but in such a big wind and sand in the desert, most of the women have rough and black skin. Even if you capture a few beautiful women, you can't play with them for a while." Withered, someone with your skin and tender flesh is considered to be of the highest quality. Didn’t you see Captain Hu swallowing his saliva from time to time when he looked at you? If he hadn’t offered you to Lord Fan, I’m afraid he would have done it long ago ”
Five hundred miles due south of Yequ Mountain, at the foot of Wushaoling's Rongyang Peak, there is a Crescent Lake oasis with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is completely deserted and is now just a resting place for business travelers passing by.

Only when Yequshan deviates from the old route of the Western Qiang, will both sides allow the horse thieves to dominate and operate. After all, the strength of Hexi and the Western Qiang Kingdom is still limited, and it is impossible to wipe out the horse thieves who have grown up like weeds near the old route of the Western Qiang. Clean it up.
In addition to larger forces such as the Western Qiang Kingdom, many medium-sized Qiang and Hu forces in Jinzhou usually proclaim themselves kings and city lords, and assign officials and titles to the territories they occupy.

Of course, the real powerful enemy that Hexi needs to guard against is not the Western Qiang Kingdom that occupied the Pinglu Oasis and was once destroyed twenty years ago, but the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom that had just unified the Pochai Lake Oasis in recent years.
"I was in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts. I happened to meet a lost little sheep on the road, so I took it to Yequ Mountain to pay tribute to Lord Fan." Hu Bilie laughed loudly at this time and said without any concealment.

The oasis only covers an area of three to four thousand acres, and the farthest distance from the edge of the meadow to Little Rock is more than two thousand steps.
Over there is the southern edge of the oasis. There are seventeen or eight poplar trees with knotted roots deep in the sand. At this time, three or five dead bodies in tattered clothes are hanging on each tree, attracting seven or eight vultures hovering in the air. In mid-air, they were waiting for Chen Hai and the others to pass by and then fly down to peck at the corpse.
"There are slaves who will escape. Look, those are the fate of escaped slaves!" Hu Bilie laughed and pointed to a small forest not far away.
"With so many slaves working outside and no one watching over them, aren't you afraid of them escaping?"
Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er were also invited as distinguished guests.

The old forces in these small and medium-sized green states have long been completely destroyed by the war between Yanzhou and Zhu Qiang for many years.
Large vassal states like Xiqiang usually recruit large groups of horse thieves either explicitly or covertly. In addition to strengthening their own strength, they can also use horse thieves to attack and weaken the enemy's strength. There are also many horse thieves who are themselves princes. The loser in the Qiang struggle for hegemony.
At this time, in the oasis and Yequ Mountain, except for necessary supervisors, the horse thieves did not even put out a warning on the outside.
Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er also pretended to be ignorant and settled in the stone city of Yequshan. On the second night, Fan Dachun, the leader of the horse thieves, came back with more than a hundred horse thieves and held a banquet in the small stone city to entertain Hu Bilie. A group of people.
Between Pinglu Oasis and Tieliu Ridge, the glacier meltwater from Wushaoling has also given birth to a series of hundreds of small and medium-sized oases, like a long bead chain, connecting the two regions. stand up.
Over there is the southern edge of the oasis. There are seventeen or eight poplar trees with knotted roots deep in the sand. At this time, three or five dead bodies in tattered clothes are hanging on each tree, attracting seven or eight vultures hovering in the air. In mid-air, they were waiting for Chen Hai and the others to pass by and then fly down to peck at the corpse.
The horse thieves occupy a strong stone city and are not afraid of raids by external forces.
"With so many slaves working outside and no one watching over them, aren't you afraid of them escaping?"
As long as foreign forces cannot attack Shizhai in a short time and cannot even draw water from Yequ Lake to obtain supplies, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Yequ Mountain.
When Chen Hai said this, Ning Chan'er not only didn't get angry, but also smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed by Chen Hai's praise.
There is indeed no need to release sentinels.
There are hundreds or thousands of large and small oases scattered in the Jinzhou desert, which are occupied by large and small Qiang and Hu forces. Although they are mainly Qiang and Hu tribes, they fight against each other much more frequently than in Yanzhou. , so the changes and replacements of dynasties and kingdoms were much more frequent than in Yanzhou.
Five hundred miles due south of Yequ Mountain, at the foot of Wushaoling's Rongyang Peak, there is a Crescent Lake oasis with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is completely deserted and is now just a resting place for business travelers passing by.
Over there is the southern edge of the oasis. There are seventeen or eight poplar trees with knotted roots deep in the sand. At this time, three or five dead bodies in tattered clothes are hanging on each tree, attracting seven or eight vultures hovering in the air. In mid-air, they were waiting for Chen Hai and the others to pass by and then fly down to peck at the corpse.
When Chen Hai said this, Ning Chan'er not only didn't get angry, but also smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed by Chen Hai's praise.
Chen Hai cupped his hands towards Hu Bilie and Fan Dachun, and said with a smile: "The maid next to me has a very bad temper and a sinister mind. She has tried to kill me several times. I should have sold myself out a long time ago. Thank you very much, Lord Fan, for your willingness this time." Take over!" "..." After all, Fan Dachun is a strong martial artist in the early stage of Mingqiao Realm. He was attracted by Ning Chan'er for only a short moment. At this time, he smashed the jujube wood case in front of him and destroyed the black sheath spirit sword behind him. , just as he was about to ask Chen Hai and Ning Chaner about their origins, they felt that the true energy and mana in the Secret Palace of the Linghai was boiling uncontrollably, like water rushing into a boiling oil pot, and the violent true energy was flowing into the twelve profound veins. Rushing, suddenly unable to suppress the rioting Zhenyuan, a mouthful of blood spurted out, shouting: "Ni Ling Powder!"
…
Chen Hai's thoughts were flying far away. Ning Chan'er looked at the scene in front of her, but her face was full of innocence and curiosity as she asked Hu Bilie:
The oasis only covers an area of three to four thousand acres, and the farthest distance from the edge of the meadow to Little Rock is more than two thousand steps.
Although Yequ Mountain is only five or six hundred miles away from the Xiqiang Ancient Road, for ordinary people, it is an impossible road to cross even if they die. Horse thieves are not afraid that these slaves can escape from Yequ Mountain. .
Between Pinglu Oasis and Tieliu Ridge, the glacier meltwater from Wushaoling has also given birth to a series of hundreds of small and medium-sized oases, like a long bead chain, connecting the two regions. stand up.
When Chen Hai said this, Ning Chan'er not only didn't get angry, but also smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed by Chen Hai's praise.
When Chen Hai said this, Ning Chan'er not only didn't get angry, but also smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed by Chen Hai's praise.
The leader Fan Dachun was not in the mountains at this time. Although there were still more than 200 horse thieves stationed in Shicheng, it was difficult to solve major issues, so Hu Bilie and the others had to stay in Shicheng for two days, waiting for Fan Dachun and the others to come back before they could discuss important matters.
Chen Hai spread his hands and said: "You seem to be a little more ordinary now, but in such a big wind and sand in the desert, most of the women have rough and black skin. Even if you capture a few beautiful women, you can't play with them for a while." Withered, someone with your skin and tender flesh is considered to be of the highest quality. Didn’t you see Captain Hu swallowing his saliva from time to time when he looked at you? If he hadn’t offered you to Lord Fan, I’m afraid he would have done it long ago ”
Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er were also invited as distinguished guests.
The horse thieves occupy a strong stone city and are not afraid of raids by external forces.
In that war twenty years ago, no one would admit defeat. In fact, both sides suffered losses.
In short, the situation in the Golden State Desert is much more complicated than imagined. In many cases, the enemy and ourselves are confused.
"The Dong family in Hexi wants to form an alliance with the Western Qiang Kingdom. It doesn't matter if the leader of the Western Qiang Kingdom forgets the bloody feud. But once the Ye family colludes with the Dong family in Hexi, don't say that we will be suppressed by the Ye family in the Xiqiang country. The Ye family will definitely use the Dong family’s power and will never tolerate you living outside the Xiqiang Ancient Road. By then, I’m afraid even you, Lord Fan, won’t be able to live freely in Yequshan, right?”
Although Ning Chan'er didn't show her true face, her smile was charming. Even if Hu Bilie and Fan Dachun realized that Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er's expressions were too weird at this time, they couldn't stand being fooled by Ning Chan'er's smile. Bewildered.
At this time, in the oasis and Yequ Mountain, except for necessary supervisors, the horse thieves did not even put out a warning on the outside.
Even so, the Western Qiang Kingdom once lost more than 90% of its city and was almost destroyed twenty years ago. At this time, the country was basically rebuilt on the ruins after the Yan troops withdrew to the west.
The large oasis of Changchai Lake with a radius of more than 3,000 miles is less than 2,000 miles away from Pinglu oasis in the west. Whoever can unify the large oasis of Changchai Lake is destined to dominate the eastern part of Jinzhou; the fertile soil of 3,000 miles is enough to support dozens of animals. The Wanjia soldiers are even much stronger than the Dong clan.
As long as foreign forces cannot attack Shizhai in a short time and cannot even draw water from Yequ Lake to obtain supplies, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Yequ Mountain.
In that war twenty years ago, no one would admit defeat. In fact, both sides suffered losses.
In addition to larger forces such as the Western Qiang Kingdom, many medium-sized Qiang and Hu forces in Jinzhou usually proclaim themselves kings and city lords, and assign officials and titles to the territories they occupy. However, in addition to running farming and animal husbandry businesses and mining minerals, they sometimes also He will act as a horse thief and send troops to rob merchants and other forces.
Although Yequ Mountain is only five or six hundred miles away from the Xiqiang Ancient Road, for ordinary people, it is an impossible road to cross even if they die. Horse thieves are not afraid that these slaves can escape from Yequ Mountain. .
Ning Chan'er pressed her slender hand on the ground, and thousands of rays of light bloomed, flowing in all directions against the ground and walls like a spring tide. In an instant, a sparkling spring tide spiritual shield was formed, completely covering the banquet hall. , shouted at Chen Haijiao: "I can only hold on for thirty breaths. If you can't kill these people, we will have no choice but to run away."
Once there was a trace of movement, more than 400 strong horse thieves rushed in frantically, and Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er had no choice but to escape.
Of course, the real powerful enemy that Hexi needs to guard against is not the Western Qiang Kingdom that occupied the Pinglu Oasis and was once destroyed twenty years ago, but the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom that had just unified the Pochai Lake Oasis in recent years.
The horse thieves occupy a strong stone city and are not afraid of raids by external forces.
Of course, the real powerful enemy that Hexi needs to guard against is not the Western Qiang Kingdom that occupied the Pinglu Oasis and was once destroyed twenty years ago, but the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom that had just unified the Pochai Lake Oasis in recent years.
A country like Xiqiang with a history of five to six hundred years is already quite rare.
…
"There are slaves who will escape. Look, those are the fate of escaped slaves!" Hu Bilie laughed and pointed to a small forest not far away.
…
…
Over there is the southern edge of the oasis. There are seventeen or eight poplar trees with knotted roots deep in the sand. At this time, three or five dead bodies in tattered clothes are hanging on each tree, attracting seven or eight vultures hovering in the air. In mid-air, they were waiting for Chen Hai and the others to pass by and then fly down to peck at the corpse.
These oases, the smaller ones like Yequshan are only three to five thousand acres and several miles in diameter, while the larger ones are hundreds of miles wide. They are used as a springboard for business travelers to pass through in peacetime and as a springboard for troops to attack in wartime. They are located in the eastern part of Jinzhou. It has a very important position and is collectively known as the Xixia Corridor.

Although Yequ Mountain is only five or six hundred miles away from the Xiqiang Ancient Road, for ordinary people, it is an impossible road to cross even if they die. Horse thieves are not afraid that these slaves can escape from Yequ Mountain. .
When Chen Hai said this, Ning Chan'er not only didn't get angry, but also smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed by Chen Hai's praise.
Neither Hexi nor Xiqiang has the ability to divide their forces to control the hundreds of small oases in the Xixia Corridor for a long time. However, both sides will not tolerate the intervention of other forces. They will send troops to sort them out almost every once in a while, and would rather leave them deserted. , and will not tolerate other threats from lying around.
The old forces in these small and medium-sized green states have long been completely destroyed by the war between Yanzhou and Zhu Qiang for many years.
Judging from their clothes and rugged bones and flesh, many of these dead bodies must be escaped slaves who were captured and executed after escaping.
"Are they talking about me?" Ning Chaner asked Chen Hai innocently, pointing to her nose.
In that war twenty years ago, no one would admit defeat. In fact, both sides suffered losses.
Even if a fugitive slave prepared enough water and food and walked on foot in the vast sea of sand, how could he escape the pursuit of horse thieves? And even if you escape to the Crescent Lake Oasis in the south, it is completely deserted. Except for the monster beasts that come out of Wushao Ridge to hunt, there is only a one-in-one chance that you happen to encounter a business traveler passing by and do not hesitate to offend and anger the horse thieves. .
The oasis only covers an area of three to four thousand acres, and the farthest distance from the edge of the meadow to Little Rock is more than two thousand steps.
Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er also pretended to be ignorant and settled in the stone city of Yequshan. On the second night, Fan Dachun, the leader of the horse thieves, came back with more than a hundred horse thieves and held a banquet in the small stone city to entertain Hu Bilie. A group of people.
"Is it inappropriate for Lieutenant Hu to say this in front of outsiders? Aren't you afraid that your identity will be leaked and the leader of the Xiqiang Kingdom will know that you are secretly colluding with us horse thieves to destroy the marriage between Ye and Dong Ning? "When Fan Dachun heard his name, he thought he was a tall man with a beard, but he was actually a middle-aged man with a fair face and sinister eyes. At this time, he responded to Hu Bilie's words with a soft smile, but when he raised his glass to drink, his eyes were fixed on Chen Hai, whose origin was unknown. , Ning Chaner's body was spinning.
Judging from their clothes and rugged bones and flesh, many of these dead bodies must be escaped slaves who were captured and executed after escaping.
Seeing Chen Hai and other nine people galloping towards them, there were twenty or thirty armored horse thieves on horseback galloping out of the stone city.
The horse thieves occupy a strong stone city and are not afraid of raids by external forces.
"There are slaves who will escape. Look, those are the fate of escaped slaves!" Hu Bilie laughed and pointed to a small forest not far away.
"With so many slaves working outside and no one watching over them, aren't you afraid of them escaping?"
Only when Yequshan deviates from the old route of the Western Qiang, will both sides allow the horse thieves to dominate and operate. After all, the strength of Hexi and the Western Qiang Kingdom is still limited, and it is impossible to wipe out the horse thieves who have grown up like weeds near the old route of the Western Qiang. Clean it up.
The Western Qiang State was willing to form an alliance with the Dong family at this time, probably because it deeply felt the threat of annexation from the Tibetan Qiang State.
A country like Xiqiang with a history of five to six hundred years is already quite rare.
"There are slaves who will escape. Look, those are the fate of escaped slaves!" Hu Bilie laughed and pointed to a small forest not far away.
Hu Bilie showed an iron plate that was as dark as ink and engraved with the image of an eagle's head and human body. The horse thieves did not ask any questions. They only said that the leader Fan Dachun was not in the mountains. However, before leaving, they said that Hu Bilie might come over in the next few days and specifically ordered them to ask for it. Hospitality.

"Are they talking about me?" Ning Chaner asked Chen Hai innocently, pointing to her nose.
The Huben army was defeated, and the Hexi soldiers and horses retreated to Tieliangling, while the soldiers and horses of the Western Qiang Kingdom and the allied forces of the Tibetan and Qiang countries also withdrew to the area west of the Pinglu Oasis.
The old forces in these small and medium-sized green states have long been completely destroyed by the war between Yanzhou and Zhu Qiang for many years.

The horse thieves occupy a strong stone city and are not afraid of raids by external forces.
As for the entire eastern part of Jinzhou, the Pinglu Oasis where the Western Qiang Kingdom is located is the first large-scale oasis with a radius of more than a thousand miles after the Tieliauling in the west of Hexi. The distance between the two is more than 13,000 miles.
The oasis only covers an area of three to four thousand acres, and the farthest distance from the edge of the meadow to Little Rock is more than two thousand steps.
At this time, in the oasis and Yequ Mountain, except for necessary supervisors, the horse thieves did not even put out a warning on the outside.

Five hundred miles due south of Yequ Mountain, at the foot of Wushaoling's Rongyang Peak, there is a Crescent Lake oasis with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is completely deserted and is now just a resting place for business travelers passing by.
"I was in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts. I happened to meet a lost little sheep on the road, so I took it to Yequ Mountain to pay tribute to Lord Fan." Hu Bilie laughed loudly at this time and said without any concealment.
These oases, the smaller ones like Yequshan are only three to five thousand acres and several miles in diameter, while the larger ones are hundreds of miles wide. They are used as a springboard for business travelers to pass through in peacetime and as a springboard for troops to attack in wartime. They are located in the eastern part of Jinzhou.

There are hundreds or thousands of large and small oases scattered in the Jinzhou desert, which are occupied by large and small Qiang and Hu forces. Although they are mainly Qiang and Hu tribes, they fight against each other much more frequently than in Yanzhou. , so the changes and replacements of dynasties and kingdoms were much more frequent than in Yanzhou.
Large vassal states like Xiqiang usually recruit large groups of horse thieves either explicitly or covertly. In addition to strengthening their own strength, they can also use horse thieves to attack and weaken the enemy's strength. There are also many horse thieves who are themselves princes. The loser in the Qiang struggle for hegemony.
It is difficult to say that this type of force is different from horse thieves; and large groups of horse thieves cannot sustain themselves for a long time just by plundering all directions. They also pay great attention to operating territories, maintaining basic material supplies, or directly joining forces with stronger forces. The power of the vassal states was granted one or two oasis cities to recuperate.
At this time, in the oasis and Yequ Mountain, except for necessary supervisors, the horse thieves did not even put out a warning on the outside.
A country like Xiqiang with a history of five to six hundred years is already quite rare.

Between Pinglu Oasis and Tieliu Ridge, the glacier meltwater from Wushaoling has also given birth to a series of hundreds of small and medium-sized oases, like a long bead chain, connecting the two regions. stand up.
The large oasis of Changchai Lake with a radius of more than 3,000 miles is less than 2,000 miles away from Pinglu oasis in the west. Whoever can unify the large oasis of Changchai Lake is destined to dominate the eastern part of Jinzhou; the fertile soil of 3,000 miles is enough to support dozens of animals. The Wanjia soldiers are even much stronger than the Dong clan.
"With so many slaves working outside and no one watching over them, aren't you afraid of them escaping?"
It is difficult to say that this type of force is different from horse thieves; and large groups of horse thieves cannot sustain themselves for a long time just by plundering all directions. They also pay great attention to operating territories, maintaining basic material supplies, or directly joining forces with stronger forces. The power of the vassal states was granted one or two oasis cities to recuperate.
"The Dong family in Hexi wants to form an alliance with the Western Qiang Kingdom. It doesn't matter if the leader of the Western Qiang Kingdom forgets the bloody feud. But once the Ye family colludes with the Dong family in Hexi, don't say that we will be suppressed by the Ye family in the Xiqiang country. The Ye family will definitely use the Dong family’s power and will never tolerate you living outside the Xiqiang Ancient Road. By then, I’m afraid even you, Lord Fan, won’t be able to live freely in Yequshan, right?”
Chen Hai cupped his hands towards Hu Bilie and Fan Dachun, and said with a smile: "The maid next to me has a very bad temper and a sinister mind. She has tried to kill me several times. I should have sold myself out a long time ago. Thank you very much, Lord Fan, for your willingness this time." Take over!" "..." After all, Fan Dachun is a strong martial artist in the early stage of Mingqiao Realm. He was attracted by Ning Chan'er for only a short moment. At this time, he smashed the jujube wood case in front of him and destroyed the black sheath spirit sword behind him. , just as he was about to ask Chen Hai and Ning Chaner about their origins, they felt that the true energy and mana in the Secret Palace of the Linghai was boiling uncontrollably, like water rushing into a boiling oil pot, and the violent true energy was flowing into the twelve profound veins. Rushing, suddenly unable to suppress the rioting Zhenyuan, a mouthful of blood spurted out, shouting: "Ni Ling Powder!"
There are hundreds or thousands of large and small oases scattered in the Jinzhou desert, which are occupied by large and small Qiang and Hu forces. Although they are mainly Qiang and Hu tribes, they fight against each other much more frequently than in Yanzhou. , so the changes and replacements of dynasties and kingdoms were much more frequent than in Yanzhou.
Chen Hai spread his hands and said: "You seem to be a little more ordinary now, but in such a big wind and sand in the desert, most of the women have rough and black skin. Even if you capture a few beautiful women, you can't play with them for a while." Withered, someone with your skin and tender flesh is considered to be of the highest quality. Didn’t you see Captain Hu swallowing his saliva from time to time when he looked at you? If he hadn’t offered you to Lord Fan, I’m afraid he would have done it long ago ”

"Is it inappropriate for Lieutenant Hu to say this in front of outsiders? Aren't you afraid that your identity will be leaked and the leader of the Xiqiang Kingdom will know that you are secretly colluding with us horse thieves to destroy the marriage between Ye and Dong Ning? "When Fan Dachun heard his name, he thought he was a tall man with a beard, but he was actually a middle-aged man with a fair face and sinister eyes. At this time, he responded to Hu Bilie's words with a soft smile, but when he raised his glass to drink, his eyes were fixed on Chen Hai, whose origin was unknown. , Ning Chaner's body was spinning.
At this time, in the oasis and Yequ Mountain, except for necessary supervisors, the horse thieves did not even put out a warning on the outside.
Five hundred miles due south of Yequ Mountain, at the foot of Wushaoling's Rongyang Peak, there is a Crescent Lake oasis with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is completely deserted and is now just a resting place for business travelers passing by.
Ning Chan'er pressed her slender hand on the ground, and thousands of rays of light bloomed, flowing in all directions against the ground and walls like a spring tide. In an instant, a sparkling spring tide spiritual shield was formed, completely covering the banquet hall. , shouted at Chen Haijiao: "I can only hold on for thirty breaths. If you can't kill these people, we will have no choice but to run away."

When Chen Hai said this, Ning Chan'er not only didn't get angry, but also smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed by Chen Hai's praise.
Between Pinglu Oasis and Tieliu Ridge, the glacier meltwater from Wushaoling has also given birth to a series of hundreds of small and medium-sized oases, like a long bead chain, connecting the two regions. stand up.
As long as foreign forces cannot attack Shizhai in a short time and cannot even draw water from Yequ Lake to obtain supplies, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Yequ Mountain.
Judging from their clothes and rugged bones and flesh, many of these dead bodies must be escaped slaves who were captured and executed after escaping.
In addition to the nine people in the stone hall, including Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er, and Hu Bilie, there were also thirteen horse thieves leaders attending the banquet. In addition to these people, there were more than four hundred elite horse thieves who were not afraid of death outside the stone hall.

In addition to these people, there were more than four hundred elite horse thieves who were not afraid of death outside the stone hall.
Large vassal states like Xiqiang usually recruit large groups of horse thieves either explicitly or covertly. In addition to strengthening their own strength, they can also use horse thieves to attack and weaken the enemy's strength. There are also many horse thieves who are themselves princes. The loser in the Qiang struggle for hegemony.
At this time, in the oasis and Yequ Mountain, except for necessary supervisors, the horse thieves did not even put out a warning on the outside.

Didn’t you see Captain Hu swallowing his saliva from time to time when he looked at you? If he hadn’t offered you to Lord Fan, I’m afraid he would have done it long ago ”
The leader Fan Dachun was not in the mountains at this time. Although there were still more than 200 horse thieves stationed in Shicheng, it was difficult to solve major issues, so Hu Bilie and the others had to stay in Shicheng for two days, waiting for Fan Dachun and the others to come back before they could discuss important matters.
When Chen Hai said this, Ning Chan'er not only didn't get angry, but also smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed by Chen Hai's praise.
Even so, the Western Qiang Kingdom once lost more than 90% of its city and was almost destroyed twenty years ago. At this time, the country was basically rebuilt on the ruins after the Yan troops withdrew to the west.
Once there was a trace of movement, more than 400 strong horse thieves rushed in frantically, and Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er had no choice but to escape.
Chen Hai cupped his hands towards Hu Bilie and Fan Dachun, and said with a smile: "The maid next to me has a very bad temper and a sinister mind. She has tried to kill me several times.

The horse thieves occupy a strong stone city and are not afraid of raids by external forces.
