Qi Liancheng's words "Beihan Pass is given to you" made Yan Xiong understand that it must be Qin Shuang and others who took over Beihan Pass.
Yan Xiong was also very happy that Beihan Pass was captured.
With Beihan Pass in hand, he no longer had to worry about the supply caravan being strangled by the Eighteen Cities of Qilian.
Moreover, there are more benefits after taking control of Beihan Pass.
As everyone knows, the Eighteen Cities of Qilian relied on controlling the two passes leading out of the Southern Region to attract many forces to join them.
With two checkpoints in hand, the Eighteen Cities of Qilian can almost ignore all forces in Mobei.
He doesn't care about either the Shahai Sect or the Vajra Temple.
There is no other reason, he just controls the resources.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Shahai Sect and the Vajra Temple seemed to be fighting to the death some time ago.
But the truth is that they are very miserable.
It's really bitter.
The caravans belonging to their two families were completely unable to leave Mobei, and all kinds of supplies that were in short supply in Mobei were completely unable to come in.
In the end, they can only secretly support forces to buy it, or buy it from other forces.
But both of these methods are very risky.
As long as they are discovered by the Eighteen Cities of Qilian, the route they have opened up will be cut off again.
It can be said that the Eighteen Cities of Qilian, who control the two passes, are the masters of all the factions in Mobei, and no one dares to offend them.
If you offend someone, you might not have any rice to eat!
And now, one of the checkpoints has fallen into the hands of the Tianxiahui, which means that the era of dictatorship belonging to the Eighteen Cities of Qilian is over.
Many gangs will have an additional force to lick their boots.
One more means one more possibility.
Yan Xiong believed that as long as the news of Tianxiahui's capture of Beihan Pass spread, Tianxiahui would definitely be packed with people.
A large number of caravans will begin to move towards the Tianxiahui, preparing to leave Mobei from Beihan Pass.
However, Yan Xiong was also full of doubts.
He didn't understand why Qilian City would voluntarily give up Beihan Pass.
That is not a checkpoint, that represents the status of economic dictatorship.
By doing so, Qiliancheng is giving up their economic dictatorship.
Anyway, Yan Xiong believed that if he were in Qilian City, he would never give up this pass.
You know, according to Yan Xiong's expectation, Qilian City would definitely go to support Beihan Pass, but now he actually gave up.
This made him feel like he was punching cotton.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. There must be a reason why Qi Liancheng did this.
So, after returning to the courtyard, he immediately asked Bu Jingyun and others to pack up their things.
He planned to go back as soon as possible.
After returning and sorting out information from all parties, he should be able to know why Qi Liancheng did this.
The disciples of Tianxia Association didn't have anything to pack, so after a while, they went straight out of the city and rode their horses towards the border town.
"Master, the people from Tianxiahui have left the city!"
In Qi Liancheng's house, the young man named Tiansheng reported to Qi Liancheng.
Qi Liancheng was still playing his game of chess. Hearing this, he smiled.
"Get ready, let's go! It's a bit cold here, I'm not used to it."
…
Two days later, in Songyao City, as soon as Yan Xiong returned to the city, he asked Asan to organize the information he had recently received and give it to him.
After looking at the movements of various forces in Mobei, Yan Xiong did not find anything wrong.
Frowning, he asked Ah San to hand over the information from the Southern Region.
There was a lot of information about the Southern Region, but Yan Xiong just looked at two and then focused his attention on what happened in the third Southern Region.
"Damn the Demonic Cult!"
Yan Xiong cursed with gritted teeth.
He had planned and calculated everything, but he had overlooked the Demonic Cult.
The entire southern region is actually not very large, and is even smaller than Mobei.
However, due to its suitable climate and abundant resources, the number of forces in the entire Southern Region is second only to the Central Plains in the entire continent.
There are at least a dozen forces like the Tianxiahui and the Eighteen Cities of Qilian in the Southern Region.
Although their territory may not be as large as that of the major sects in Mobei, in terms of strength, the forces in the Southern Region are generally stronger than those in Mobei.
Take the Eighteen Cities of Qilian for example.
The Eighteen Cities of Qilian are the strongest force in Mobei.
But if the Eighteen Cities of Qilian were placed in the Southern Region, then they would only be ranked in the middle among the many major forces.
This medium level may be even lower.
As for the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was a force that single-handedly resisted the encirclement and suppression of more than a dozen sects in the Southern Region.
And now, the Demonic Cult has reached some kind of agreement with the forces in the Southern Region.
They actually gave up a large area of land north of Hengyue Pass and retreated directly towards Beihan Pass.
What is the Demonic Cult
They are a group of bandits who believe in the laws of the devil.
They never manage turf.
Because they usually cannot stay in one place for long before being surrounded and attacked, they basically do not manage the areas they occupy.
There is a saying in the world.
"Wherever the demon passes, no grass will grow!"
This sentence describes their bandit style.
Why do they gather between Mobei and Nanyu
It’s because there are so many caravans here, enough for them to rob.
And you don’t have to worry about it not coming back after you rob it.
Now, they all retreated towards Beihan Pass.
This means that if the Tianxiahui's caravan passes through there, it will definitely have to pass through their territory.
With their nature.
There is no need to consider the question of whether to grab it or not.
They will never miss out on food that is delivered to their door.
There's no use getting angry.
Now that we have obtained Beihan Pass, we must definitely make use of it.
After thinking for a while, Yan Xiong gave instructions to Asan.
“This time when we go to the Southern Region, each city will select 200 ordinary gang members, two ninth-grade and one eighth-grade.
A total of 5,000 people were gathered, and the shortfall was transferred from the headquarters.
In addition, all the 108 evil spirits of Tianchi were notified, and except for those in important positions, all others were to accompany him.
Everyone will arrive in Songyao in five days and set off in seven days!
Prepare the food and supplies. Also, select another 1,000 good fighters from the headquarters and go with us to Beihan Pass to help guard the pass."
Yan Xiong planned to take his men through Beihan Pass and visit the Tianmo Sect by the way.
If there is talk, everyone will be happy. If not, he can only treat the Tianmo Sect as pirates and fight against them.
Anyway, the power of the Demonic Cult is relatively scattered. Even if there are many people in the Demonic Cult in the direction of Beihan Pass, he thinks it should be possible to fight them.
In the following days, Mobei entered a state of large-scale mobilization.
On the road leading to the Southern Region, groups of people from the martial arts world can be seen from time to time.
These people are the ones who get rid of the Japanese.
The biggest thing in the martial arts world these days is probably the fight against the Japanese.
Not only are various forces mobilizing people to go to the Southern Region, but individual travelers are also heading to the Southern Region in large numbers.
On the Tianxiahui side, each city was also continuously dispatching personnel to Songyao.
Except for the people from Tianxiahui.
Some small forces and individual travelers closer to the border town also began to gather towards Songyao.
These people all planned to take the Tianxiahui’s ship to the Southern Region.
The Tianxiahui is now very famous, and many people want to follow it to the Southern Region.
These people see clearly that if they want to make a difference in this anti-Japanese conference, then following the big forces is definitely the right thing to do.
The advantage of following a big force is that you can avoid becoming cannon fodder.
