Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth please accept the disciples
This retreat could not be stopped. First, the siege of Ganzhou was abandoned. After the entire army retreated to Suzhou City, facing Jiang Shan and Zhang Lang's combined 200,000 troops, they only held for ten days before retreating to Jiayuguan.
Although the city defense of Jiayuguan was strong, it could not support a population of 100,000. Jiang Lang could only send some defenders to defend the city, while the rest retreated all the way to the west.
Good news also came in the most difficult time. Tu Yuhun agreed to form an alliance with Jiang Lang and was willing to accept Jiang Lang's soldiers and civilians to retreat into Tu Yuhun.
After learning that Jiang Shan had colluded with Helian Qingfeng, Li Hao preferred that Jin King Jiang Lang proclaimed himself emperor. In addition, the crown prince Li Ruogu and General Wu Zan persuaded Li Hao to make a decision and completely break up with Jiang Shan.
Shameless!
In the end, Jiang Lang entered Tuyuhun with 100,000 people, about 60,000 of whom were soldiers. Before leaving, he looted all the horses from Anxi Racecourse and took them all to the pasture by Qinghai Lake.
Jiang Shan was unwilling to give up and took the opportunity to annex Tuyuhun. He led his army to move to Gannan and march into the royal city of Xining. At the same time, he forced Shuzhou to send troops to Shiqu Town to prepare for a flanking attack on Li Hao.
Tuyuhun had just experienced a civil strife and its national strength was weak. In order to avoid another siege crisis, it resolutely abandoned the royal city. Most of the people retreated into the Haixi County Canyon to defend themselves, while some cavalry were wandering on the vast grasslands of Tuyuhun.
, constantly harassing the Jiang Shan army, in the hope that when the depth of winter is approaching, Jiang Shan, who is struggling with supplies, will retreat.
In Shiqu Town, Bai Yong did not wait for a reward from the emperor. What he waited for was a military order from the Governor of Sichuan ordering him to cooperate with the Shu army to attack. However, under the persuasion of Zhang Zhiren and Li Hao, Bai Yong resolutely decided to join the even weaker Jiang.
The Lang camp, with a team of less than a thousand men, held back the 20,000 Shu troops heading west for more than half a month. After receiving an urgent report that Li Hao had abandoned Xining, they rushed in front of the Jiang Shan cavalry who had outflanked Xining.
, withdrew into the southern border of Tuyuhun and continued to deal with Jiang Shan's army.
Jiang Shan, who had won a great victory, had already captured the Jiayuguan Pass that Jiang Lang had abandoned, opened up trade routes, and returned to the capital after leaving a hundred thousand troops in Xining City. At the same time, in the north of the country, Helian Qingfeng was ignoring the domestic turmoil.
With an army of more than 100,000, he personally conquered Chang Feng, who proclaimed himself emperor. The stalemate war gave Jiang Shan a lot of time to consolidate his rule.
Due to Jiang Lang's uprising, people in Qi State kept raising the flag of righteousness to overthrow the Jiang family's rule. After putting down the "Suzhou Rebellion", Jiang Shan began to deal hard with those "mobs" who were still out of control. In the three major
Under the heavy pressure of the family's joint efforts, in less than a month, except for Qimen Mountain, which was defended by the steep mountains, there were almost no wars in Daqi. The people who dared to be angry and dare not speak out were plunged into man-made disasters that were worse than natural disasters.
In order to obtain more wealth to support the army, Jiang Shan not only increased taxes, but also resumed human trafficking with the Western Regions. However, there was no need to do it secretly at this time. The country was full of families selling their children and girls at low prices.
After that, groups of traffickers headed to the Western Regions. Fortunately, the Tianshan Faction, which the Wuerhan brothers and sisters were in charge of, kept sending people to intercept the traffickers' caravans, so those ulterior caravans had to abandon the most convenient middle line and turn to
It takes thousands of miles to complete the transaction.
Jiang Shan sent troops from Xining and Ganzhou to attack the Tianshan Sect, but this time the Tianshan Sect was fully prepared. Li Hao and Jiang Lang sent many masters to the mountains to help, and they kept sending cavalry for sneak attacks. Jiang Shan's expedition
The army attacked several times, but all failed, and Jiang Shan finally had to significantly reduce the population trade with various countries in the Western Region.
After Chang Feng was defeated by Jiang Lang and retreated to Tuyuhun, he accepted the persuasion of many of his officials to establish the country of Yan and proclaim himself emperor! Although Lingfeng, who was in Shanhaiguan, was extremely dissatisfied, at this time, Helian Qingfeng had already sent troops south to weigh in.
Again and again, he decided to help Chang Feng resist the powerful enemy heading south.
The proud Chang Feng met a real opponent this time. After several hard battles, he was finally defeated by Helian Qingfeng's army. After more than a month, all the five states were lost, leaving only the two isolated cities of Yanjing and Shanhaiguan.
The strong city, sufficient food, grass, soldiers and horses, struggled to support it.
Helian Qingfeng was also riding a tiger, unable to swallow two rock-hard "bones" in one breath, but he did not want to give up the land he had fought hard for. More than 100,000 troops had been surrounding the two isolated cities, and
Put aside your bold words, even if the siege lasts for ten years, the troops will not withdraw!
The sound of fighting at the South Peak stopped for a while. In mid-spring, the noon sunshine softly shone on the layers of terraced fields in the dense valley. Everything was covered with different shades of green, and figures bending down and working were dotted on the terraces.
In the field on the nearly vertical mountain wall, a floating cloud slowly floated above the dense valley, drifted across the pond at the bottom of the valley, and then cast its shadow on a deck chair by the pond.
There was a thin man lying on his back on the recliner, with sunken cheeks, slight spots on his temples, and a scar about two inches long from his forehead to the corner of his eye, but he didn't look very ferocious. A pair of eyes that were not big in the first place looked dull.
Staring at the top of the valley, my eyes seem to be wandering with the floating clouds, or looking at the thin waterfall on the top of the mountain. The children playing by the pond, the egrets flying down to drink water, and the villagers passing by to say hello.
It seems that the woman can't divert the man's gaze away even for a moment.
"Sir, it's time to take medicine." A gentle cry sounded from the side of the recliner, and a young girl walked over. Her skin was white and greasy, and her facial features were exquisite. It was Luo Yu who had been a beautiful woman since she was a child. Now she just
At the age of fifteen, he is already elegant and charming.
"Sir!" Luo Yu raised his voice slightly, and the man on the recliner finally woke up. He glanced sideways at Luo Yu, took the bowl handed to him, raised his head and drank it all, and said numbly: "
Thank you girl.」
Luo Yu took back the medicine bowl, squatted beside the recliner, and whispered: "Master He, are you really ready to go out?"
"Huh? Yeah." The person sitting on the recliner was He Qizhou, whose reaction seemed a little slow. After hearing what Luo Yu said clearly, he responded in a low voice.
"Take me with you, I can help you wash and cook..." Luo Yu begged. He Qizhou had been recovering in this valley for six months, and Luo Yu had basically been taking care of He Qizhou's daily life.
He Qizhou shook his head and said: "The world is dangerous, you should stay here."
"I'm not afraid. I got through the three meridians last month. The master uncle said that my foundation is very good. No one among the younger generation in Migu is my opponent." Luo Yu stood up and felt a little "proud"
Chest, said confidently.
"Stop talking, I will go to a place far away. It is not suitable for you. I may not be able to take care of you." He Qizhou still shook his head and said expressionlessly.
"But I don't need your care. I have been taking care of you these days." Luo Yu said aggrievedly, tears already welling up in her eyes.
"That's not what I meant... Alas, I am an ominous person. You, you should stay in the valley and take care of Senior Brother Lu and the others." He Qizhou noticed something strange about the little girl and said apologetically.
"I am also an unknown person. My parents are dead, my grandpa is dead, and now my master and grandpa are both dead..." Luo Yu could no longer hold back her sadness and sobbed softly.
In a battle at the foot of the mountain six months ago, the great master Li Jichen hated Qimen Mountain and died before reaching the top of the mountain. Luo Yu's master barely managed to hold on for three days. When he learned that He Qizhou was still alive, he sent his beloved disciple Luo Yu to the mountain.
Entrusted to He Qizhou, because it was He Qizhou who rescued Luo Yu's ancestors and grandchildren in Jiangling City and sent them to the Jinling Sect. Luo Yu has always been grateful to He Qizhou, Xu Mu and others. As a master, Liao Ying naturally knows that the little girl
thoughts.
"Take her with you. You lie down all day and are too lazy to get rid of maggots. With her here, you can take care of your food and daily life on the road." At some point, several more people appeared behind He Qizhou, and the one who spoke was Huang Quan.
, Huang Quan, who has been busy treating the injured in the past six months, looks a bit older.
"Grandpa Huang——" He Qizhou was still unwilling.
"Brother He, my junior sister has this wish before she dies. I don't know how long this valley will be besieged. You know how to master the Xuan Gong. You are the only one who has the ability to take Yu'er out for a walk. She is a sensible child and will not cause trouble for you.
"The person who persuaded him was Lu Zhenyao, with some blood stains on his body.
In the battle half a year ago, relying on He Qizhou to hold Lu Hongwen back, most of the people still went up the mountain and retreated into the dense valley. Although relying on the steep mountains and dense valleys around them, the Yang family and the Jinling faction jointly blocked hundreds of people.
Despite the repeated attacks, the way out of the mountain has been cut off. There are tens of thousands of troops surrounding the dense valley all year round. Especially under the cliff at the winch, there is a heavy guard. No one in the valley has gone out for half a year.
Of course, Lu Zhenyao could still leave if he wanted to, but there were Chengzong masters from the Yunmen sect among the people surrounding Migu. Just in case, Lu Zhenyao, who was seriously injured but had not yet recovered, had been sticking to the most dangerous mountain tops everywhere.
The officers and soldiers outside the mountain seemed to understand the difficulty of breaking into the valley. Even if they sent Chengzong masters once, they could not capture any of the mountains. Now, the initial strong attack has been changed to harassing sneak attacks, and people are constantly sent from
Climbing mountains in various places, trying to find the best way to the dense valley.
At the same time, a large number of civilians were recruited to dig mountain roads in the relatively less steep Nanshan Mountain and carve in iron handles for easy climbing. But how can a mountain hundreds of feet high be built in a year or two? The generals who led the siege were like this
This move was because he did not want to be criticized by the emperor for his incompetence in doing things, which only caused suffering to the nearby people. The good fields could not be cultivated, but they were called to work day and night to build a road on the barren mountain.
Although he was reluctant, the Jinling Sect had paid so much for the Yang family. No matter how desperate He Qizhou was, he could only accept Lu Zhenyao's persuasion, nodded, and agreed.
"Yu'er, why don't you accept He Qizhou as your teacher?" Lu Zhenyao prompted.
Luo Yu understood and immediately knelt down on his knees and said, "Master, please bow to me, my disciple."
