Dong Chou also knew that Hexi was not ready to fight one against three at this time, but he could no longer sit back and watch Long Xiang's army continue to grow.
Everyone knows that war is about to break out, not to mention the core disciples and relatives of various clans, ordinary people are also on the road in panic, thinking of avoiding the disaster of war.
Yao Chuyun took the letter and read the contents inside. He was filled with anger and took a breath of cold air at the same time: "Hexi actually used this poisonous trick to prevent the rise of the Longxiang Army and the Yao family. Dong Chou, the eldest son of the Dong family, rushed to Liquan. , I am afraid that they will unite with the Nine Domains and take action against Juquan Ridge..."
While he was talking, a swan flew into the hall with a roar, landed on Chen Hai's shoulder and fluttered its wings. Chen Hai took off the letter from his lap, read it hastily, and frowned.
Miao Zijin, the deacon of the Miao clan in Liangyong County, frowned and continued: "What the prince said is true, but what are we going to do? Although the Tiangang Thunder Prison Formation deployed by Tianji Academy and the Hexi War Bird Camp are extremely powerful, But it may not be possible to storm Juquan Ridge, right?"
Different from other Taoist temples, the most important responsibility of Baishiling Taoist Temple is to represent Hexi and Dong's power in Liquan, ensuring that the share of quenched iron produced by Juquan Lake every year belongs to Hexi, and there is a continuous supply of energy. Transported back to Hexi.
Dong Chou knew that the feudal clans also needed time to make decisions, so he sat down and sipped the spiritual tea gently, and asked Dong Pan to come forward to discuss the specific coalition plan with the representatives of the feudal clans.
…
"The vassals joined forces with me, Dong He, to blockade Qin Tong Mountain, so that the Longxiang Army could no longer reinforce the Gyeonggi Plain. No matter how stupid Wei Ziya and those in the inner court were, they would never take 500,000 elite troops, and they would not be able to defeat Chen Hai in Yuting Mountain, Are you going to eat the hundreds of thousands of soldiers woven from grass on the front line of the Qiuye River?" Dong Chou stared at everyone with bright eyes, "Besides, even if our elite 10,000 yamen soldiers from Hexi Province go to Liquan, the vassals' manpower in Liquan will be gone. , and will later send one or two thousand elite disciples to form a coalition of nine vassals with me in Hexi, is it really impossible to attack Juquan Ridge?"
Dong Pan stood outside Zhengyang Pavilion, and with a smile on his face, he let the deacons from various sects who came one after another into the pavilion.
Hexi can no longer tolerate the continued growth of the Longxiang Army. It wants to use the War Bird Battalion to cut off the Longxiang Army's air transportation line and prevent the Longxiang Army from continuing to transport elites and supplies from Yandangyuan to the Gyeonggi Plain through the Fengyan airship. Cut off Chen Hai's retreat.
"... Tu, Rong and other clans also saw the crisis at this time and had made up their minds to escape from the quagmire of the Gyeonggi Plain. They would even abandon Wusheng Pass and accompany the King of Guards to lead the Xiyuan Army and his tribe to the north, so that Chen Hai and the inner court were fighting to the death, but that was not enough. Chen Hai could still use the Fengyan airship to continuously transport a large number of reinforcements and supplies from Tianji Academy and Yandangyuan into the capital to fight to the death with the Su Wei Army. …”
"Here we come!" Dong Chou couldn't help but beat his palms with excitement at this moment.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves.
After Dong Chong paused, he realized that he was actually silent. He coughed slightly to get rid of the embarrassment, and then said: "A few days ago, Chen Hai fought with the inner court in Guining City. The inner court was defeated. Not only did four Taoist masters die, but also the inner court was defeated. Nearly 100,000 armored soldiers were also captured. It is only a matter of time before these 100,000 lowered soldiers are recruited by Chen Hai. I believe everyone does not want to see it, and let Shuzi gain power, right?"
In the innermost part of Baishiling Taoist Temple, there is a not very big house, only seven or eight acres square. However, if you step into it, you will find small bridges, flowing water, exotic flowers and rocks, which form a strong contrast with the noisy scene outside.
Hexi's Baishiling Taoist Temple in Juquan Ridge is located in the south of Juquan Ridge. It forms a perfect shape with the Liquan General Mansion that is co-governed by the Nine Domains.
In addition to the Dong family in Hexi, the Miao family in Liangyong is closest to Liquan, with only the Xiongshan Mountains at the northern foot of Qintong Mountain in between. Miao Zijin believes that the Miao family will be able to occupy Liquan in the future if they make great efforts at this time. More shares.
The captured soldiers had been completely dispersed and incorporated into the Longxiang Army's Third Division. At this time, all the time was being spent on training, but the morale of the soldiers who had been coerced into joining the army was generally low.
The heavy snow fell for three days before it finally stopped. The Gyeonggi Plain was covered in white snow, but the supposedly quiet and peaceful midwinter was filled with undercurrents. No one knew how many withered bones would fall to death in the vast wilderness this winter. middle.
After listening to General Chen Hai recounting what he saw and heard, Yao Chuyun said sadly: "It seems that the six clans have decided on a plan and are determined to lead the Xiyuan Army out of Wusheng Pass to avoid disaster. They just sit back and watch us fight with the inner court and lose both sides. "
Chen Hai and Cang Yi stood in the sky thousands of feet high, looking at the various clans. Groups of chariots and horses set off from the city and went far to the north. They did not care about the severe cold in the middle of winter and swept the vast and white land. Black and muddy tracks were drawn on the Gyeonggi Plain.
Soon, black shadows were like dark clouds, flying quickly towards Guancheng between the snow-white sky and the earth.
The crown prince Dong Chou burst out laughing, and with a wave of his hand, the east gate of Guancheng suddenly opened. Ten thousand Dao Yamen soldiers who had been prepared long ago rode on green cunning horses, preparing to borrow roads from Tongzhong Mansion and Tongbei Mansion to go to Li The spring is coming.
Miao Zijin nodded and said, "Yes, right now, Chen Hai is only supported by the Yao clan on the Gyeonggi Plain. The main force of the Longxiang Army is still stationed on the Hengshan and Yucheng Ridge lines. The prince has a war bird camp, which can not only cut off the Longxiang Army's attack on the Gyeonggi Province. The reinforcements can also cut off the Longxiang Army's reinforcements to Juquan Ridge. We form a coalition of nine vassals and can take down Juquan Ridge leisurely."
Taking advantage of Tianshui County and Qinchuan County being caught off guard, it was easy for the 20,000 Yamen soldiers to cross Tianshui County and enter Qintong Pass. However, the hundreds of thousands of horse infantry that Hexi had accumulated on the Shining line in the southwest of Tianshui County would not be so easy to enter Qintong Pass. Once Stepping into the territory of Tianshui County means the beginning of a bloody war between the three parties.
Hexi's goal is the same as that of the Tu family and other six clans, which is to let the inner court and Su Wei army annihilate Chen Hai and Yao family in the Gyeonggi Plain.
Chen Hai rose up in Hexi. At this moment, the two sides were finally going to meet each other. Some people in Li Quan felt sorry, but more people were filled with excitement. After all, no one wanted to see Long Xiang's army successfully support Guining Houdeng. God bit.
Everyone else looked over and gasped when they saw the letter mentioning that Dong Chou personally led a thousand war birds to Liquan, and that 10,000 Yamen soldiers were also on their way to Liquan.
Chen Hai's heart was as cold as ice and he watched all this silently. After a while, he and Cang Yifei returned to Ningcheng.
Dong Chou stood on the city wall with long eyebrows and looked far to the west. He walked back and forth several times from time to time, as if he was expecting something.
The Tu and Rong clans have already begun to retreat northward. Every day, thousands of tribesmen's descendants crowd the roads, preparing to pass Wusheng Pass and move into Jiyang County.
A war bird camp consisting of thousands of giant eagle war birds and thousands of elite imperial soldiers from Hexi suddenly entered Baishi Ridge. Li Quan's large and small forces or the influencers of various clans in Li Quan all understood what this meant.
Chen Hai appointed Yao Wenjin as the commander-in-chief of the Third Town Division, with Yao Zhi, Yao Chuqiu, Zhou Jun and others as deputy generals, while Yao Chuyun, Zhou Jingyuan and others were in charge of government affairs.
Ge Xuanqiao looked at Chen Juan, who also smiled bitterly.
Qintong Dongguan, the city built of stone and iron is embedded deeply between the stone gorges, with cliffs towering thousands of feet high on both sides, like countless giant beasts squatting in the dark night, as if they are about to destroy the tiny little ones at any time. Guancheng swallowed it up.
Dong Chou left Sun Quanzong and Chen Jun to guard Guancheng. Directly under the protection of Ge Xuanqiao and Dong Pan, he led the War Bird Battalion and flew to Juquan Ridge first.
At this time, the Longxiang Army's war bird battalion was only full of 600 war birds, and its strength was relatively weak. This meant that the air channel through the Fengyan airship to move troops, horses and supplies between the three places and across the Qintong Mountains would be completely destroyed. Cut off by Hexi.
Who could have imagined that Long Xiang's army's troops and horses increased tenfold seemingly in day and night. At this time, there were 400,000 troops in Yandang Plains. Once Hexi started a large-scale war on the southern front, who knew whether Long Xiang's army would respond? At this time, Dong Shou, who was stationed at Wolong City at the northeast foot of Taiwei Mountain, started to attack
Suddenly, the storm is coming...
After the battle at Fenglindu, Chen Hai and Yao Clan undoubtedly became the most eye-catching rising stars in Yanzhou, and at the same time they also shouldered their share of heavy pressure.
Chen Hai sneered coldly and said, "Let him go."
Chen Hai drank all the spiritual tea in his hand, stood up and sneered: "The Gyeonggi side won't be able to fight for a while. If we want to invade the hinterland of the nine vassals in the border counties, the Longxiang camp may not be able to do it, but in Ju Quanling is such a small place, I want to see who can make waves? No matter how noisy they are, I just want to take back Juquan Lake in advance!!"
How to fight this battle
Although there are hundreds of thousands of disciples in Juquanling Tianji Academy, these disciples come from various counties and clans and have no obligation to be loyal to Chen Hai, the Longxiang Army, or the Yao family. Dong Chou only arrived in Liquan on his first day , only half of the disciples have chosen to temporarily leave Juquan Ridge and Tianji Academy. There are no reinforcements in Juquan Ridge. Once the Nine Factions unite to attack, how will Juquan Ridge be defended
Dong Chou is wearing a brocade robe, and Hexi claims to have strong soldiers and horses. Even if Qinchuan County and Tianshui County join forces, they are not Hexi's enemies. But who imagined that the situation in Yanzhou would be so complicated
At the end of the winding corridor is a seven or eight-foot-high attic, with the words Zhengyang Pavilion written on it.
The deacons responsible for such important profit distribution in Juquan Ridge are all like human beings. Even though everyone has the same purpose, they are not willing to express their opinions in a hurry.
Marquis Shen sent all the most elite war bird battalions in Hexi over, and undoubtedly agreed with the crown prince's plan to send troops to Juquan Ridge and cut off the east-west communication between Long Xiang's army.
Although the road would pass through Tianshui County, due to the strong power in Hexi, Tianshui County never dared to block the road until the two sides broke up.
"If Chen Hai is allowed to gain power calmly and finally supports Guininghou Ying Lei to ascend the throne, Qintong Mountain will be all under the control of Long Xiang's army. I think Juquan Ridge produces tens of millions of kilograms of gold-hardened iron every year, and hundreds of millions of A pound of ordinary ore may have nothing to do with each company, right?"
The strong wind blew through the canyon, making a howling sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves. The Hexi Iron-Blooded elite stationed there would feel panic in their hearts when they heard the sound.
Yao Chuyun and Yao Wenjin were discussing something in the meeting hall. When they saw Chen Hai and Cang Yi shaking off the snowflakes on their bodies and stepping into the hall, they both stood up to greet them.
The leader of Zhanqin camp will pass on the decree of the Shenhou to the crown prince Dong Chou, Ge Xuanqiao, Chen Jun, Sun Quanzong, Dong Pan and others for viewing.
Dong Chouchi made his interests clear, and there was no need for representatives of the vassals to be secretive.
…
The open space between Guining City and Qiupuzhai was completely surrounded by wooden fence walls, forming a super military village.
Dong Chou stood in the Zhengyang Pavilion and saw that everyone had arrived. He nodded slightly and said: "Jiu Fei and Tianji Academy have been in charge of Juquan Ridge for some time. Although there were some frictions during this period, everything is generally fine. It can pass, but I think this peaceful life will not last for a few days."
It's just that for such a big matter, Miao Zijin and other deacons did not decide, and they needed to be reported to the clan to know the result.
Also because the Liquan and Juquan Lake quenched gold sand mines are so important to Hexi, Baishiling Taoist Temple directly stationed two thousand elite Yamen soldiers, and other middle and low-level disciples who were loyal to Hexi and the Dong family, there were also seven to eight thousand people practicing here. , can also be incorporated into the army at any time and become the most elite combat force.
The meeting in Zhengyang Pavilion did not end until early in the morning. When the deacons of the vassals returned to their respective offices, they saw swans soaring into the sky and flying quickly towards the counties where each vassal was located. Letters There is a fierce murderous intention against Long Xiang's army hidden in it.
Ge Xuanqiao, who was standing next to Dong Chou, sighed bitterly when he saw the war birds that were as dense as dark clouds, knowing that he would finally tear off his face and completely stand on the opposite side of Long Xiang's army.
