Seeing that Han Wen and other leaders were excited by Chen Hai's teasing words, Fan Dachun could only obey the trend no matter how reluctant he was.
The Dong family in Hexi is quite far away from here, especially after the marriage and alliance was destroyed. The Dong family's troops marching out of Tieliangling westward would be invading the boundaries of Jinzhou. They still have to consider the possible subsequent revenge of the Western Qiang Kingdom. , thinking that while robbing the road, they could eliminate some of the elite troops of the Western Qiang Kingdom as much as possible, making the Western Qiang Kingdom unable to send troops to the desert to retaliate.
And because the Songyang River is surrounded by stone ridges, the river water penetration is not serious, so it extends to the north more than 400 miles away to form a medium-sized lake covering tens of thousands of acres. The lake is surrounded by sparse trees and grasses for forty to fifty miles. Even if it is covered with ice and snow in the cold winter, you can still feel the vitality that is not found in the depths of the vast sand sea when you walk in.
Although Yequshan had plundered a large number of slaves before, their management was really crude and they did not plan to draw up a detailed roster. In a short period of time, the more than two thousand slaves could not be distinguished from the old and the new. Chen Hai wanted Fan Dachun to simply exempt them all. Then he took out 500,000 to 600,000 kilograms of grain from the warehouse, along with more than 3,000 acres of grain fields cultivated by Yequ Lake and 400 to 500 cattle and sheep, and distributed them all to the slaves, so that these slaves could be exempted from hard labor. Finally, there is still family business to keep.
In such a short period of time, Chen Hai could only select a dozen people to serve as civil servants in Yequshan. After the horse thieves left, they would take over the defense of the stone city in Yequshan and be responsible for the distribution of grain, fields, and livestock, as well as subsequent work. Farming and animal husbandry affairs.
It's just that the Montenegrin coalition formed is really very loose. It's just for the convenience of this vote to act in a unified manner, and the internal binding force is far from being as strong as imagined.
Among the eighteen horse thieves, the three horse thieves of the Black Mountain, Guhuoshan and Moyue Lake tribes are the strongest. Among them, the Black Mountain bandits are the strongest. The coalition formed was named Black Mountain and was headed by Kong Peng, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits. Deciding on the major and minor matters of the operation - Hu Bilie and others had also used the name of the Black Mountain bandits to contact the horse thieves in the early days - Fan Dachun also came back with the title of "General Xiaowei".
There is not much trust among the horse thieves. When they arrived at Songyang Lake, Chen Hai and Ning Chaner found a place with rich water and grass to station themselves far away, keeping a certain distance from other horse thieves.
Although he thought that after the incident was defeated, all these things would disappear and he would not be able to run away with them all, but seeing his years of savings being distributed to the slaves whose life and death were in his hands, Fan Dachun's heart was still weeping. I couldn't bear to see it, but Chen Hai and Han Wen were the ones to do it in two days.
Seeing that Han Wen and other leaders were excited by Chen Hai's teasing words, Fan Dachun could only obey the trend no matter how reluctant he was.
Fan Dachun took the letter left by Hu Bilie after his death and went to meet with other horse thieves leaders to discuss future action arrangements.
"Why not rob the Hexi chariot team first?" Ning Chan'er curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "As long as the Yuecheng Princess is captured, even if the news cannot be blocked, as long as the Xiqiang Kingdom still wants to fight with the Dong family, If we form an alliance and want to maintain the dignity of the Pinglu royal family, we will inevitably send troops to rescue them. When the time comes, how and where to fight, and perhaps whether we can fight, is not up to us."
Most of the slaves will be able to divide grain, fields and livestock this time, and they are full of excitement. There are also many slaves who were snatched here for a short period of time, and they still think about their wives, children and children at home.
Although the horse thieves who acted without authorization had more than 400 riders, and their strength was even slightly stronger than that of Yequshan who came out in full force, they were unable to completely wipe out the guards and merchants of the caravan, and many people escaped. At the same time, there were too many traces left that had not been dealt with cleanly, which was enough to alert the bride-to-be team in Hexi.
Among the eighteen horse thieves, the three horse thieves of the Black Mountain, Guhuoshan and Moyue Lake tribes are the strongest. Among them, the Black Mountain bandits are the strongest. The coalition formed was named Black Mountain and was headed by Kong Peng, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits. Deciding on the major and minor matters of the operation - Hu Bilie and others had also used the name of the Black Mountain bandits to contact the horse thieves in the early days - Fan Dachun also came back with the title of "General Xiaowei".
As a result, tens of thousands of horse thieves and 20,000 to 30,000 horses suddenly filled the lonely and deserted Songyang Lake to the point where people and horses were boiling.
The horse thieves were well prepared, so they rode westward through the vast sandy sea and snowfields, turned southwest for more than 800 miles, and arrived at the Songyang Lake Oasis.
Although he thought that after the incident was defeated, all these things would disappear and he would not be able to run away with them all, but seeing his years of savings being distributed to the slaves whose life and death were in his hands, Fan Dachun's heart was still weeping. I couldn't bear to see it, but Chen Hai and Han Wen were the ones to do it in two days.
A group of horse thieves who had arrived at Songyang Lake in advance two days ago could not restrain themselves, acted without permission, and robbed a caravan that was crossing the Songyang River and preparing to go to Hexi.
There is not much trust among the horse thieves. When they arrived at Songyang Lake, Chen Hai and Ning Chaner found a place with rich water and grass to station themselves far away, keeping a certain distance from other horse thieves.
No one in the vast sea of sand knew what accident would happen, or maybe Hu Bilie and others had temporarily changed and went elsewhere. Hu Bilie and others did not show up, and the other horse thieves leaders did not feel anything unusual. Fan Dachun rushed over to meet with the other horse thieves leaders in fear. We met, but nothing happened when we returned.
Chen Hai comforted this group of people, saying that they would not stop those who wanted to leave Yequshan and return to their hometown, but advised them to stay in Yequshan for the time being, and wait until spring, when the weather is not so bad. Only if we hit the road again can we return to our hometown alive.
The weaker the Xiqiang army is, the more comfortable they will be in Yequshan. However, at this time, Fan Dachun and the others' lives are in Ning Chan'er's hands, and they are unwilling to cause trouble.
No one in the vast sea of sand knew what accident would happen, or maybe Hu Bilie and others had temporarily changed and went elsewhere.

Seeing that Han Wen and other leaders were excited by Chen Hai's teasing words, Fan Dachun could only obey the trend no matter how reluctant he was.
In such bad weather, even if you bring enough food and water, ordinary people cannot imagine crossing the vast desert. Even if you don't lose your way, if you encounter a snowstorm, you will most likely freeze to death in the sea of sand.
…
Horse thieves are deep in the vast desert, and it is the harsh winter season. Although the plush horses that are a specialty of Jinzhou are not only extremely endurance, but also resistant to severe cold. However, in the coldest season of the year in Jinzhou, horses are in the wild. Long-distance marches also involve heavy losses. In order to ensure that the horses have sufficient strength when charging into battle, every horse thief has at least one or two empty horses on standby.
Most of these plundered slaves were herdsmen and farmers who lived and thrived in Pinglu and nearby oases. Many of them were business travelers who traveled through the Xixia Corridor and risked their lives for wealth. They were killed by Fan Dachun and others, but there were still many people left who could read and write and had extraordinary knowledge.
"What the Master said makes sense. Why didn't those elm knots think of it?" Fan Dachun patted his head and said, "I'll go talk to Master Kong and the others about this."
Ning Chan'er guessed that Chen Hai wanted to buy Dong Ning and the others one more night, but she glanced at him but didn't reveal it.
In the vast sea of sand, even if the bride-to-be team in Hexi fled in a hurry, they would have to travel thousands of miles to return to the border in Hexi. They had enough time to pursue, so they wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity for dozens of horse thieves to assemble. , I want to do something big while my troops are strong. However, the Western Qiang Kingdom sent troops for reinforcements in a hurry. It was difficult to assemble a large army and the dispatch was also extremely hasty. They did have opportunities to ambush them halfway.
There are also some people who advocate ambushing the soldiers and horses sent by the Western Qiang Kingdom to help, and then rob the escort team in Hexi.
Fan Dachun was full of objections to Chen Hai's use of the extra armor to arm the slaves, but the so-called three to four hundred slaves organized were so strong that they were all so skinny and weak that he could crush seven to death with one finger. Eight of them could only be regarded as the lowest and least effective servants in the Western Qiang Kingdom. They were not really a threat, so they refrained from saying anything.
In such a short period of time, Chen Hai could only select a dozen people to serve as civil servants in Yequshan. After the horse thieves left, they would take over the defense of the stone city in Yequshan and be responsible for the distribution of grain, fields, and livestock, as well as subsequent work. Farming and animal husbandry affairs.
Now that Yequshan is sending troops as scheduled, others are embarrassed to do anything to Yequshan, but they don't pay much attention to Yequshan. They just want more than 400 people from Yequshan to temporarily stay in Songyang Lake and follow the large troops. However, Yequshan did not send anyone to participate in the relatively difficult and dangerous tasks of outposting, reconnaissance, and blocking the Xixia Corridor.
None of the other horse thieves paid much attention to Ye Qushan. They had even doubted whether Ye Qushan's group had the courage to participate in this major case that was destined to shock the Eastern Region of Jinzhou and Hexi. Some horse thieves leaders even came two days earlier. They all suggested that Yequshan should be leveled first.
Horse thieves are deep in the vast desert, and it is the harsh winter season.

In order to ensure that the horses have sufficient strength when charging into battle, every horse thief has at least one or two empty horses on standby.
Those who advocated this were mainly horse thieves near the Western Qiang Kingdom. After robbing the bride-to-be team, they still had to consider the bloody revenge of the Western Qiang Kingdom and the Dong family in Hexi.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary alarm and misunderstanding, the Yequshan horse thieves thought that Fan Dachun was the leader, while Ning Chaner and Chen Hai claimed that they were just the newly joined leaders of Yequshan.
However, in the situation in front of him, no matter how the fight was fought, Yequshan had no right to speak and could only advance and retreat with the large army.
No one in the vast sea of sand knew what accident would happen, or maybe Hu Bilie and others had temporarily changed and went elsewhere. Hu Bilie and others did not show up, and the other horse thieves leaders did not feel anything unusual. Fan Dachun rushed over to meet with the other horse thieves leaders in fear. We met, but nothing happened when we returned.
Fan Dachun and others occupied Yequ Mountain and accumulated a lot of soldiers and armor. Although they were all mainland goods that were looked down upon by elite horse thieves, Chen Hai also took them out and asked these dozen people to select some strong generals from slaves. Be prepared for monsters or sand wolves to break into Yequ Mountain in the cold winter.
Fan Dachun couldn't hide his guilt and returned to the camp, but brought back some crucial information.
Fan Dachun was full of objections to Chen Hai's use of the extra armor to arm the slaves, but the so-called three to four hundred slaves organized were so strong that they were all so skinny and weak that he could crush seven to death with one finger.

"It's not too late tonight," Chen Haihun said nonchalantly, "Let them argue first, and we can talk about it tomorrow."

Now there are two opinions among the horse thieves:
…

…
Some people advocated a direct attack on Yueya Lake, and snatched away the gifts and dowries of the alliance between the Dong family in Hexi and the Western Qiang Kingdom, and everyone divided the matter; these people who advocated this were all horse thieves who came from afar to participate in this matter, and they Thinking of a quick victory to avoid long nights and dreams.
Although the Songyang Lake Oasis is not the only way to pass through on the Western Qiang's ancient route, it is also within the scope of the Xixia Corridor. There are streams flowing down from the mountains in the south and converging in the wilderness at the northern foot to form a powerful pine tree. Yanghe.
The weaker the Xiqiang army is, the more comfortable they will be in Yequshan. However, at this time, Fan Dachun and the others' lives are in Ning Chan'er's hands, and they are unwilling to cause trouble.
Those who advocated this were mainly horse thieves near the Western Qiang Kingdom. After robbing the bride-to-be team, they still had to consider the bloody revenge of the Western Qiang Kingdom and the Dong family in Hexi.
"It's not too late tonight," Chen Haihun said nonchalantly, "Let them argue first, and we can talk about it tomorrow."
The caravans that set out for Hexi at this time were bound to be enticing with their belongings.
And because the Songyang River is surrounded by stone ridges, the river water penetration is not serious, so it extends to the north more than 400 miles away to form a medium-sized lake covering tens of thousands of acres. The lake is surrounded by sparse trees and grasses for forty to fifty miles. Even if it is covered with ice and snow in the cold winter, you can still feel the vitality that is not found in the depths of the vast sand sea when you walk in.
The horse thieves are led by Heishan, Guhuo Mountain, and Moyue Lake. In fact, these three have the final say on how to fight. Other horse thieves can only get a piece of the pie and play soy sauce, without much say.
The Dong family in Hexi is quite far away from here, especially after the marriage and alliance was destroyed. The Dong family's troops marching out of Tieliangling westward would be invading the boundaries of Jinzhou. They still have to consider the possible subsequent revenge of the Western Qiang Kingdom. , thinking that while robbing the road, they could eliminate some of the elite troops of the Western Qiang Kingdom as much as possible, making the Western Qiang Kingdom unable to send troops to the desert to retaliate.
Fan Dachun took the letter left by Hu Bilie after his death and went to meet with other horse thieves leaders to discuss future action arrangements.
The Songyang Lake Oasis is larger than the Yequ Mountain, but because the Songyang Lake Oasis is located within the Xixia Corridor, although the Western Qiang Kingdom cannot afford to send elite troops to garrison for a long time, it also strictly prohibits other forces from getting involved and will regularly send out raids. Therefore, except for the occasional herdsmen, no horse thieves have the ability to occupy this place for a long time.
"Heishan and Moyue Lake both advocated burying the reinforcements of the Western Qiang Kingdom and then rob the Hexi Chariots and Horses," Fan Dachun also said with resentment. "Guhuoshan advocated actually robbing the Hexi Chariots and Horses, and everyone would divide the property and settle the matter. . We are all led by the Black Mountain bandits in name, but they come out to rob homes and houses just for property. Why bother to fight with the elite soldiers and horses of the Western Qiang Kingdom?"

When Chen Hai and the others arrived at Songyang Lake, the other seventeen horse thieves had already gathered here. A tall black flag was hoisted by the Songyang Lake. In addition to the embroidered image of an eagle's head and human body, it also read "Black Mountain" Two words: Fan Dachun and the others were the last to know the news, and because Chen Hai and Ning Chaner suddenly intervened, they were delayed for three or four days in Yequshan.
Among the eighteen horse thieves, the three horse thieves of the Black Mountain, Guhuoshan and Moyue Lake tribes are the strongest. Among them, the Black Mountain bandits are the strongest. The coalition formed was named Black Mountain and was headed by Kong Peng, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits.

There are also some people who advocate ambushing the soldiers and horses sent by the Western Qiang Kingdom to help, and then rob the escort team in Hexi.
In addition to sending outposts deeper into the northern flank, the Hexi Chariots and Horses also sent envoys straight to the Western Qiang Kingdom to request reinforcements.
As a result, tens of thousands of horse thieves and 20,000 to 30,000 horses suddenly filled the lonely and deserted Songyang Lake to the point where people and horses were boiling.

Songyang Lake is more than four thousand miles away from Pinglu Oasis. Even if the West Qiang Kingdom accepted the news and sent reinforcements to respond and acted as quickly as possible, it would take ten days and a half for the vanguard troops to reach Hexi Province. The bride-to-be team gathered together.

Only if we hit the road again can we return to our hometown alive.
Now that Yequshan is sending troops as scheduled, others are embarrassed to do anything to Yequshan, but they don't pay much attention to Yequshan. They just want more than 400 people from Yequshan to temporarily stay in Songyang Lake and follow the large troops.

The carriage and horse team sending off the bride in Hexi had originally set off from the Crescent Lake Oasis in the south of Yequ Mountain, but after becoming aware of the movement on the Songyang Lake side, they did not continue forward and are currently retreating towards Crescent Lake.
In such bad weather, even if you bring enough food and water, ordinary people cannot imagine crossing the vast desert. Even if you don't lose your way, if you encounter a snowstorm, you will most likely freeze to death in the sea of sand.
Although he thought that after the incident was defeated, all these things would disappear and he would not be able to run away with them all, but seeing his years of savings being distributed to the slaves whose life and death were in his hands, Fan Dachun's heart was still weeping. I couldn't bear to see it, but Chen Hai and Han Wen were the ones to do it in two days.
Now that Yequshan is sending troops as scheduled, others are embarrassed to do anything to Yequshan, but they don't pay much attention to Yequshan. They just want more than 400 people from Yequshan to temporarily stay in Songyang Lake and follow the large troops. However, Yequshan did not send anyone to participate in the relatively difficult and dangerous tasks of outposting, reconnaissance, and blocking the Xixia Corridor.
…
The horse thieves were well prepared, so they rode westward through the vast sandy sea and snowfields, turned southwest for more than 800 miles, and arrived at the Songyang Lake Oasis.
Some people advocated a direct attack on Yueya Lake, and snatched away the gifts and dowries of the alliance between the Dong family in Hexi and the Western Qiang Kingdom, and everyone divided the matter; these people who advocated this were all horse thieves who came from afar to participate in this matter, and they Thinking of a quick victory to avoid long nights and dreams.
Among the eighteen horse thieves, the three horse thieves of the Black Mountain, Guhuoshan and Moyue Lake tribes are the strongest. Among them, the Black Mountain bandits are the strongest. The coalition formed was named Black Mountain and was headed by Kong Peng, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits. Deciding on the major and minor matters of the operation - Hu Bilie and others had also used the name of the Black Mountain bandits to contact the horse thieves in the early days - Fan Dachun also came back with the title of "General Xiaowei".
Fan Dachun couldn't hide his guilt and returned to the camp, but brought back some crucial information.
There are also some people who advocate ambushing the soldiers and horses sent by the Western Qiang Kingdom to help, and then rob the escort team in Hexi.
"It's not too late tonight," Chen Haihun said nonchalantly, "Let them argue first, and we can talk about it tomorrow."
Those who advocated this were mainly horse thieves near the Western Qiang Kingdom. After robbing the bride-to-be team, they still had to consider the bloody revenge of the Western Qiang Kingdom and the Dong family in Hexi.
"Why not rob the Hexi chariot team first?" Ning Chan'er curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "As long as the Yuecheng Princess is captured, even if the news cannot be blocked, as long as the Xiqiang Kingdom still wants to fight with the Dong family, If we form an alliance and want to maintain the dignity of the Pinglu royal family, we will inevitably send troops to rescue them. When the time comes, how and where to fight, and perhaps whether we can fight, is not up to us."

The Dong family in Hexi is quite far away from here, especially after the marriage and alliance was destroyed. The Dong family's troops marching out of Tieliangling westward would be invading the boundaries of Jinzhou. They still have to consider the possible subsequent revenge of the Western Qiang Kingdom. , thinking that while robbing the road, they could eliminate some of the elite troops of the Western Qiang Kingdom as much as possible, making the Western Qiang Kingdom unable to send troops to the desert to retaliate.
Ning Chan'er guessed that Chen Hai wanted to buy Dong Ning and the others one more night, but she glanced at him but didn't reveal it.
Fan Dachun was full of objections to Chen Hai's use of the extra armor to arm the slaves, but the so-called three to four hundred slaves organized were so strong that they were all so skinny and weak that he could crush seven to death with one finger. Eight of them could only be regarded as the lowest and least effective servants in the Western Qiang Kingdom. They were not really a threat, so they refrained from saying anything.

It's just that the Montenegrin coalition formed is really very loose. It's just for the convenience of this vote to act in a unified manner, and the internal binding force is far from being as strong as imagined.
Although the horse thieves who acted without authorization had more than 400 riders, and their strength was even slightly stronger than that of Yequshan who came out in full force, they were unable to completely wipe out the guards and merchants of the caravan, and many people escaped. At the same time, there were too many traces left that had not been dealt with cleanly, which was enough to alert the bride-to-be team in Hexi.
When Chen Hai and the others arrived at Songyang Lake, the other seventeen horse thieves had already gathered here. A tall black flag was hoisted by the Songyang Lake. In addition to the embroidered image of an eagle's head and human body, it also read "Black Mountain" Two words: Fan Dachun and the others were the last to know the news, and because Chen Hai and Ning Chaner suddenly intervened, they were delayed for three or four days in Yequshan.
The carriage and horse team sending off the bride in Hexi had originally set off from the Crescent Lake Oasis in the south of Yequ Mountain, but after becoming aware of the movement on the Songyang Lake side, they did not continue forward and are currently retreating towards Crescent Lake.
Some people advocated a direct attack on Yueya Lake, and snatched away the gifts and dowries of the alliance between the Dong family in Hexi and the Western Qiang Kingdom, and everyone divided the matter; these people who advocated this were all horse thieves who came from afar to participate in this matter, and they Thinking of a quick victory to avoid long nights and dreams.
A group of horse thieves who had arrived at Songyang Lake in advance two days ago could not restrain themselves, acted without permission, and robbed a caravan that was crossing the Songyang River and preparing to go to Hexi.
Fan Dachun and others occupied Yequ Mountain and accumulated a lot of soldiers and armor. Although they were all mainland goods that were looked down upon by elite horse thieves, Chen Hai also took them out and asked these dozen people to select some strong generals from slaves. Be prepared for monsters or sand wolves to break into Yequ Mountain in the cold winter.
The caravans that set out for Hexi at this time were bound to be enticing with their belongings.
…
Although Yequshan had plundered a large number of slaves before, their management was really crude and they did not plan to draw up a detailed roster. In a short period of time, the more than two thousand slaves could not be distinguished from the old and the new. Chen Hai wanted Fan Dachun to simply exempt them all. Then he took out 500,000 to 600,000 kilograms of grain from the warehouse, along with more than 3,000 acres of grain fields cultivated by Yequ Lake and 400 to 500 cattle and sheep, and distributed them all to the slaves, so that these slaves could be exempted from hard labor. Finally, there is still family business to keep.
There is not much trust among the horse thieves. When they arrived at Songyang Lake, Chen Hai and Ning Chaner found a place with rich water and grass to station themselves far away, keeping a certain distance from other horse thieves.
The weaker the Xiqiang army is, the more comfortable they will be in Yequshan. However, at this time, Fan Dachun and the others' lives are in Ning Chan'er's hands, and they are unwilling to cause trouble.
The caravans that set out for Hexi at this time were bound to be enticing with their belongings.
Although the Songyang Lake Oasis is not the only way to pass through on the Western Qiang's ancient route, it is also within the scope of the Xixia Corridor. There are streams flowing down from the mountains in the south and converging in the wilderness at the northern foot to form a powerful pine tree. Yanghe.
The horse thieves are led by Heishan, Guhuo Mountain, and Moyue Lake. In fact, these three have the final say on how to fight. Other horse thieves can only get a piece of the pie and play soy sauce, without much say.
There are also some people who advocate ambushing the soldiers and horses sent by the Western Qiang Kingdom to help, and then rob the escort team in Hexi.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary alarm and misunderstanding, the Yequshan horse thieves thought that Fan Dachun was the leader, while Ning Chaner and Chen Hai claimed that they were just the newly joined leaders of Yequshan.
Although the horse thieves who acted without authorization had more than 400 riders, and their strength was even slightly stronger than that of Yequshan who came out in full force, they were unable to completely wipe out the guards and merchants of the caravan, and many people escaped. At the same time, there were too many traces left that had not been dealt with cleanly, which was enough to alert the bride-to-be team in Hexi.
Chen Hai comforted this group of people, saying that they would not stop those who wanted to leave Yequshan and return to their hometown, but advised them to stay in Yequshan for the time being, and wait until spring, when the weather is not so bad. Only if we hit the road again can we return to our hometown alive.
Now that Yequshan is sending troops as scheduled, others are embarrassed to do anything to Yequshan, but they don't pay much attention to Yequshan. They just want more than 400 people from Yequshan to temporarily stay in Songyang Lake and follow the large troops. However, Yequshan did not send anyone to participate in the relatively difficult and dangerous tasks of outposting, reconnaissance, and blocking the Xixia Corridor.
"What the Master said makes sense. Why didn't those elm knots think of it?" Fan Dachun patted his head and said, "I'll go talk to Master Kong and the others about this."
The carriage and horse team sending off the bride in Hexi had originally set off from the Crescent Lake Oasis in the south of Yequ Mountain, but after becoming aware of the movement on the Songyang Lake side, they did not continue forward and are currently retreating towards Crescent Lake.
In such bad weather, even if you bring enough food and water, ordinary people cannot imagine crossing the vast desert. Even if you don't lose your way, if you encounter a snowstorm, you will most likely freeze to death in the sea of sand.
No one in the vast sea of sand knew what accident would happen, or maybe Hu Bilie and others had temporarily changed and went elsewhere. Hu Bilie and others did not show up, and the other horse thieves leaders did not feel anything unusual. Fan Dachun rushed over to meet with the other horse thieves leaders in fear. We met, but nothing happened when we returned.
The horse thieves were well prepared, so they rode westward through the vast sandy sea and snowfields, turned southwest for more than 800 miles, and arrived at the Songyang Lake Oasis.
In addition to sending outposts deeper into the northern flank, the Hexi Chariots and Horses also sent envoys straight to the Western Qiang Kingdom to request reinforcements.
It's just that the Montenegrin coalition formed is really very loose. It's just for the convenience of this vote to act in a unified manner, and the internal binding force is far from being as strong as imagined.
"Why not rob the Hexi chariot team first?" Ning Chan'er curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "As long as the Yuecheng Princess is captured, even if the news cannot be blocked, as long as the Xiqiang Kingdom still wants to fight with the Dong family, If we form an alliance and want to maintain the dignity of the Pinglu royal family, we will inevitably send troops to rescue them.

The weaker the Xiqiang army is, the more comfortable they will be in Yequshan. However, at this time, Fan Dachun and the others' lives are in Ning Chan'er's hands, and they are unwilling to cause trouble.
Seeing that Han Wen and other leaders were excited by Chen Hai's teasing words, Fan Dachun could only obey the trend no matter how reluctant he was.
Songyang Lake is more than four thousand miles away from Pinglu Oasis. Even if the West Qiang Kingdom accepted the news and sent reinforcements to respond and acted as quickly as possible, it would take ten days and a half for the vanguard troops to reach Hexi Province. The bride-to-be team gathered together.
As a result, tens of thousands of horse thieves and 20,000 to 30,000 horses suddenly filled the lonely and deserted Songyang Lake to the point where people and horses were boiling.
Chen Hai comforted this group of people, saying that they would not stop those who wanted to leave Yequshan and return to their hometown, but advised them to stay in Yequshan for the time being, and wait until spring, when the weather is not so bad. Only if we hit the road again can we return to our hometown alive.
Fan Dachun took the letter left by Hu Bilie after his death and went to meet with other horse thieves leaders to discuss future action arrangements.
"Which of the three horse thieves from Heishan, Guhuoshan, and Moyue Lake proposed to ambush the Western Qiang reinforcements first?" Chen Hai frowned and asked Fan Dachun for the details of the discussion.
Although the Songyang Lake Oasis is not the only way to pass through on the Western Qiang's ancient route, it is also within the scope of the Xixia Corridor. There are streams flowing down from the mountains in the south and converging in the wilderness at the northern foot to form a powerful pine tree. Yanghe.
Now there are two opinions among the horse thieves:
The caravans that set out for Hexi at this time were bound to be enticing with their belongings.
"What the Master said makes sense. Why didn't those elm knots think of it?" Fan Dachun patted his head and said, "I'll go talk to Master Kong and the others about this."
Most of the slaves will be able to divide grain, fields and livestock this time, and they are full of excitement. There are also many slaves who were snatched here for a short period of time, and they still think about their wives, children and children at home.
"It's not too late tonight," Chen Haihun said nonchalantly, "Let them argue first, and we can talk about it tomorrow."
In order to avoid causing unnecessary alarm and misunderstanding, the Yequshan horse thieves thought that Fan Dachun was the leader, while Ning Chaner and Chen Hai claimed that they were just the newly joined leaders of Yequshan.
The caravans that set out for Hexi at this time were bound to be enticing with their belongings.
The horse thieves are led by Heishan, Guhuo Mountain, and Moyue Lake. In fact, these three have the final say on how to fight. Other horse thieves can only get a piece of the pie and play soy sauce, without much say.
In such a short period of time, Chen Hai could only select a dozen people to serve as civil servants in Yequshan. After the horse thieves left, they would take over the defense of the stone city in Yequshan and be responsible for the distribution of grain, fields, and livestock, as well as subsequent work. Farming and animal husbandry affairs.
Some people advocated a direct attack on Yueya Lake, and snatched away the gifts and dowries of the alliance between the Dong family in Hexi and the Western Qiang Kingdom, and everyone divided the matter; these people who advocated this were all horse thieves who came from afar to participate in this matter, and they Thinking of a quick victory to avoid long nights and dreams.
"Which of the three horse thieves from Heishan, Guhuoshan, and Moyue Lake proposed to ambush the Western Qiang reinforcements first?" Chen Hai frowned and asked Fan Dachun for the details of the discussion.
Horse thieves are deep in the vast desert, and it is the harsh winter season. Although the plush horses that are a specialty of Jinzhou are not only extremely endurance, but also resistant to severe cold. However, in the coldest season of the year in Jinzhou, horses are in the wild. Long-distance marches also involve heavy losses. In order to ensure that the horses have sufficient strength when charging into battle, every horse thief has at least one or two empty horses on standby.
When Chen Hai and the others arrived at Songyang Lake, the other seventeen horse thieves had already gathered here. A tall black flag was hoisted by the Songyang Lake. In addition to the embroidered image of an eagle's head and human body, it also read "Black Mountain" Two words: Fan Dachun and the others were the last to know the news, and because Chen Hai and Ning Chaner suddenly intervened, they were delayed for three or four days in Yequshan.

In the vast sea of sand, even if the bride-to-be team in Hexi fled in a hurry, they would have to travel thousands of miles to return to the border in Hexi. They had enough time to pursue, so they wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity for dozens of horse thieves to assemble. , I want to do something big while my troops are strong. However, the Western Qiang Kingdom sent troops for reinforcements in a hurry. It was difficult to assemble a large army and the dispatch was also extremely hasty. They did have opportunities to ambush them halfway.

Now there are two opinions among the horse thieves:
The horse thieves were well prepared, so they rode westward through the vast sandy sea and snowfields, turned southwest for more than 800 miles, and arrived at the Songyang Lake Oasis.
The horse thieves are led by Heishan, Guhuo Mountain, and Moyue Lake. In fact, these three have the final say on how to fight. Other horse thieves can only get a piece of the pie and play soy sauce, without much say.
And because the Songyang River is surrounded by stone ridges, the river water penetration is not serious, so it extends to the north more than 400 miles away to form a medium-sized lake covering tens of thousands of acres. The lake is surrounded by sparse trees and grasses for forty to fifty miles. Even if it is covered with ice and snow in the cold winter, you can still feel the vitality that is not found in the depths of the vast sand sea when you walk in.
Although Yequshan had plundered a large number of slaves before, their management was really crude and they did not plan to draw up a detailed roster. In a short period of time, the more than two thousand slaves could not be distinguished from the old and the new. Chen Hai wanted Fan Dachun to simply exempt them all. Then he took out 500,000 to 600,000 kilograms of grain from the warehouse, along with more than 3,000 acres of grain fields cultivated by Yequ Lake and 400 to 500 cattle and sheep, and distributed them all to the slaves, so that these slaves could be exempted from hard labor. Finally, there is still family business to keep.

The bride-to-be team gathered together.
"Heishan and Moyue Lake both advocated burying the reinforcements of the Western Qiang Kingdom and then rob the Hexi Chariots and Horses," Fan Dachun also said with resentment. "Guhuoshan advocated actually robbing the Hexi Chariots and Horses, and everyone would divide the property and settle the matter. . We are all led by the Black Mountain bandits in name, but they come out to rob homes and houses just for property. Why bother to fight with the elite soldiers and horses of the Western Qiang Kingdom?"
Fan Dachun was full of objections to Chen Hai's use of the extra armor to arm the slaves, but the so-called three to four hundred slaves organized were so strong that they were all so skinny and weak that he could crush seven to death with one finger. Eight of them could only be regarded as the lowest and least effective servants in the Western Qiang Kingdom. They were not really a threat, so they refrained from saying anything.
Although he thought that after the incident was defeated, all these things would disappear and he would not be able to run away with them all, but seeing his years of savings being distributed to the slaves whose life and death were in his hands, Fan Dachun's heart was still weeping. I couldn't bear to see it, but Chen Hai and Han Wen were the ones to do it in two days.
The carriage and horse team sending off the bride in Hexi had originally set off from the Crescent Lake Oasis in the south of Yequ Mountain, but after becoming aware of the movement on the Songyang Lake side, they did not continue forward and are currently retreating towards Crescent Lake.
The horse thieves are led by Heishan, Guhuo Mountain, and Moyue Lake. In fact, these three have the final say on how to fight. Other horse thieves can only get a piece of the pie and play soy sauce, without much say.

However, the Western Qiang Kingdom sent troops for reinforcements in a hurry. It was difficult to assemble a large army and the dispatch was also extremely hasty. They did have opportunities to ambush them halfway.
In the past, Fan Dachun would have probably advocated a severe attack on the reinforcements from the Western Qiang Kingdom.
The Songyang Lake Oasis is larger than the Yequ Mountain, but because the Songyang Lake Oasis is located within the Xixia Corridor, although the Western Qiang Kingdom cannot afford to send elite troops to garrison for a long time, it also strictly prohibits other forces from getting involved and will regularly send out raids. Therefore, except for the occasional herdsmen, no horse thieves have the ability to occupy this place for a long time.
Some people advocated a direct attack on Yueya Lake, and snatched away the gifts and dowries of the alliance between the Dong family in Hexi and the Western Qiang Kingdom, and everyone divided the matter; these people who advocated this were all horse thieves who came from afar to participate in this matter, and they Thinking of a quick victory to avoid long nights and dreams.

Be prepared for monsters or sand wolves to break into Yequ Mountain in the cold winter.
However, in the situation in front of him, no matter how the fight was fought, Yequshan had no right to speak and could only advance and retreat with the large army.
Although the horse thieves who acted without authorization had more than 400 riders, and their strength was even slightly stronger than that of Yequshan who came out in full force, they were unable to completely wipe out the guards and merchants of the caravan, and many people escaped. At the same time, there were too many traces left that had not been dealt with cleanly, which was enough to alert the bride-to-be team in Hexi.
Ning Chan'er guessed that Chen Hai wanted to buy Dong Ning and the others one more night, but she glanced at him but didn't reveal it.
"Why not rob the Hexi chariot team first?" Ning Chan'er curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "As long as the Yuecheng Princess is captured, even if the news cannot be blocked, as long as the Xiqiang Kingdom still wants to fight with the Dong family, If we form an alliance and want to maintain the dignity of the Pinglu royal family, we will inevitably send troops to rescue them.

Although he thought that after the incident was defeated, all these things would disappear and he would not be able to run away with them all, but seeing his years of savings being distributed to the slaves whose life and death were in his hands, Fan Dachun's heart was still weeping. I couldn't bear to see it, but Chen Hai and Han Wen were the ones to do it in two days.
When Chen Hai and the others arrived at Songyang Lake, the other seventeen horse thieves had already gathered here. A tall black flag was hoisted by the Songyang Lake. In addition to the embroidered image of an eagle's head and human body, it also read "Black Mountain" Two words: Fan Dachun and the others were the last to know the news, and because Chen Hai and Ning Chaner suddenly intervened, they were delayed for three or four days in Yequshan.
Fan Dachun took the letter left by Hu Bilie after his death and went to meet with other horse thieves leaders to discuss future action arrangements.
Those who advocated this were mainly horse thieves near the Western Qiang Kingdom. After robbing the bride-to-be team, they still had to consider the bloody revenge of the Western Qiang Kingdom and the Dong family in Hexi.
Horse thieves are deep in the vast desert, and it is the harsh winter season. Although the plush horses that are a specialty of Jinzhou are not only extremely endurance, but also resistant to severe cold. However, in the coldest season of the year in Jinzhou, horses are in the wild. Long-distance marches also involve heavy losses. In order to ensure that the horses have sufficient strength when charging into battle, every horse thief has at least one or two empty horses on standby.
The horse thieves are led by Heishan, Guhuo Mountain, and Moyue Lake. In fact, these three have the final say on how to fight. Other horse thieves can only get a piece of the pie and play soy sauce, without much say.
"What the Master said makes sense. Why didn't those elm knots think of it?" Fan Dachun patted his head and said, "I'll go talk to Master Kong and the others about this."
It's just that the Montenegrin coalition formed is really very loose. It's just for the convenience of this vote to act in a unified manner, and the internal binding force is far from being as strong as imagined.
"Why not rob the Hexi chariot team first?" Ning Chan'er curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "As long as the Yuecheng Princess is captured, even if the news cannot be blocked, as long as the Xiqiang Kingdom still wants to fight with the Dong family, If we form an alliance and want to maintain the dignity of the Pinglu royal family, we will inevitably send troops to rescue them. When the time comes, how and where to fight, and perhaps whether we can fight, is not up to us."
The Dong family in Hexi is quite far away from here, especially after the marriage and alliance was destroyed. The Dong family's troops marching out of Tieliangling westward would be invading the boundaries of Jinzhou. They still have to consider the possible subsequent revenge of the Western Qiang Kingdom. , thinking that while robbing the road, they could eliminate some of the elite troops of the Western Qiang Kingdom as much as possible, making the Western Qiang Kingdom unable to send troops to the desert to retaliate.
Ning Chan'er guessed that Chen Hai wanted to buy Dong Ning and the others one more night, but she glanced at him but didn't reveal it.
In such bad weather, even if you bring enough food and water, ordinary people cannot imagine crossing the vast desert. Even if you don't lose your way, if you encounter a snowstorm, you will most likely freeze to death in the sea of sand.
There is not much trust among the horse thieves. When they arrived at Songyang Lake, Chen Hai and Ning Chaner found a place with rich water and grass to station themselves far away, keeping a certain distance from other horse thieves.
Although the horse thieves who acted without authorization had more than 400 riders, and their strength was even slightly stronger than that of Yequshan who came out in full force, they were unable to completely wipe out the guards and merchants of the caravan, and many people escaped. At the same time, there were too many traces left that had not been dealt with cleanly, which was enough to alert the bride-to-be team in Hexi.
The weaker the Xiqiang army is, the more comfortable they will be in Yequshan. However, at this time, Fan Dachun and the others' lives are in Ning Chan'er's hands, and they are unwilling to cause trouble.
"It's not too late tonight," Chen Haihun said nonchalantly, "Let them argue first, and we can talk about it tomorrow."
Fan Dachun couldn't hide his guilt and returned to the camp, but brought back some crucial information.
"Heishan and Moyue Lake both advocated burying the reinforcements of the Western Qiang Kingdom and then rob the Hexi Chariots and Horses," Fan Dachun also said with resentment. "Guhuoshan advocated actually robbing the Hexi Chariots and Horses, and everyone would divide the property and settle the matter. . We are all led by the Black Mountain bandits in name, but they come out to rob homes and houses just for property. Why bother to fight with the elite soldiers and horses of the Western Qiang Kingdom?"

Chen Hai comforted this group of people, saying that they would not stop those who wanted to leave Yequshan and return to their hometown, but advised them to stay in Yequshan for the time being, and wait until spring, when the weather is not so bad. Only if we hit the road again can we return to our hometown alive.
