A large group of cave barbarians were digging in a swamp deep in the Great Wasteland.
Just like the ordinary people in Yunqin couldn't understand that Purgatory Mountain was originally a place that could be paralleled with Qingluan Academy, these cave barbarians couldn't understand at all how the honeycomb-like turquoise stones in the mire were connected to the one in Yunqin.
What is the connection between the soul soldiers who can cut through hundreds of steel refinements, but when they think that these things can be exchanged for rice noodles that are whiter than kudzu root, and when they think of the slightly sweet white flour baked buns and the aroma of wax meat, there seems to be something in their stomachs and hearts.
After getting some warmth, their hands and feet, which were soaked in the cold mud water, no longer seemed to feel cold.
In Yunqin, ordinary rice noodles, salt, sugar, bacon, dried meat and other items are extremely precious to cave barbarians, and they need to be exchanged for life.
Because in the past when food was in short supply, cave barbarians had to attack some places where the Yunqin army stored food at the cost of many tribesmen's lives, or they would cross the Dragon Snake Mountains and trek long distances to Yunqin territory to plunder it.
However, now, without the blood and sacrifice of many tribesmen, they have been able to get some of this precious food in the underground world at night.
In addition to these precious foods, there are also some precious medicines that have brought many dying tribesmen back to life.
They don't know where these precious foods and medicines come from. The elders of the tribe also strictly require everyone to keep the secret with their own lives and not to take any of this food out of the cave. But they naturally think that this is a gift from God.
, so each of them spends his life keeping such a secret and is grateful in his heart.
…
The border trade between the Yunqin Empire and the cave barbarians was already going on with difficulty without the various courts in the world knowing anything about it.
From the Yunqin mainland to the Donglin Province and then to the Longshe Border Pass, digesting the underground black market, laundering the silver earned, and ensuring that the food can break through some inspections of the Yunqin border army and penetrate into the vast wilderness are also very complicated matters.
, in the process of the first batch of food and medicine entering the Great Wasteland, many problems also occurred, such as the encounter with the Liu family's forces, which was just a small episode among many.
But with strong support from the Acupuncture Man, and under the supervision of figures like Zhantai Qiantang and Nangong Weiyang, it is only a matter of time before some troubles can be solved and these joints can be completely smoothed out.
At least after capturing Aojiao Mountain, Nangong Weiyang has not only become the king of the bandits on the eastern border, completely intimidated the bandits on the eastern border, and won the loyalty of many of them, but also the large amount of money and materials accumulated in Aojiao Mountain.
This made Lin Xi no longer need to use Da Dexiang's financial resources.
After Guo Dongshen spent twenty years continuously strengthening the defense of Aojiao Mountain, he already felt that Aojiao Mountain was a country. However, when he was forced to kneel down in front of all his subordinates in front of Nangong Weiyang and Lin Xi, he was forced to face
After Nangong Weiyang and Lin Xi pledged their allegiance, no one had ever done this before the founding of Yunqin and after the founding of Yunqin. But what Nangong Weiyang and Lin Xi were already doing made him realize that he was just a frog sitting in a well watching the sky.
.
He thought he was a king, but found out that he was just a shallow frog. This realization was an extremely cruel blow to his self-confidence, but it also made Guo Dongshen, who was originally just forced by the situation, start to consider after the extreme shock.
Is a leader like Nangong Weiyang worth following sincerely?
Lin Xi could see the change in mentality of the bandit leaders like Guo Dongshen.
After Nangong Weiyang rescued Nanshan Mu, led a Yunqin army to break through the blockade of the Biluo border army, and escaped into the Prajna Corridor, and then started to compete for territory with the fifteen tribes of Xiyi, he has already made many mistakes that will make the entire Yunqin and him
Something that surprised everyone.
Especially when dealing with the power of Gong Tingjue, a man who considers himself the king of the black market, he already understood when he saw that Nangong Weiyang could actually make a shady bandit build a catapult and transport it to the raid site like an army.
Nangong Weiyang is not just a genius in cultivation.
A person who is so strong that even the most powerful people in this world are helpless is easily convinced.
Especially when such a strong person gives people hope and feels that after doing a cause that can be described as great, it is easier for people to unconsciously swear allegiance to him.
Nangong Weiyang and herself, as well as Zhantai Qiantang, have the ability to give these bandits who originally lived like rotten rats a decent life, and even make them feel like they are really building a country. From Guo Dongshen and even the Liu family
Lin Xi knew from the subtle changes in the expressions in the eyes of Cheng Zijing and others that it was only a matter of time before Nangong Weiyang and Zhantai Qantang conquered these people. After all, apart from Nangong Weiyang, Zhantai Qantang's status as an exiled monarch was also more important than Nangong Weiyang's.
Starting a Liu family is even more full of temptation and hope.
Everyone lives in dreams.
Small dreams are often defeated by bigger dreams.
So at the highest point of Aojiao Mountain, looking at the thick dark clouds that seemed to be within reach above the head, and looking at the densely packed watchtowers, catapults, criss-crossing slide rails, and countless powerful crossbows on Aojiao Mountain, Lin Xi even felt a sense of excitement.
He had the idea of operating well here, arranging Aojiao Mountain to be more like the space fortress he imagined, developing a powerful army here, and then marching into the vast wilderness to kill Wen Ren Cangyue.
With a large amount of production in the Dragon Snake Mountain Range and the Great Wilderness, it seems very tempting to build a powerful private army based here.
However, this temptation only made Lin Xi's heart flutter for a moment, because the world was changing every day, and the outside world was not static, waiting for him to slowly build a powerful army.
With Nangong Weiyang and Zhantai Qantang, they are also doing the things they think of.
Moreover, although the eastern border of the empire is remote and less well-informed than many places in Yunqin, big things outside can still reach here after all.
"What can cause a city to burn so fast that even an army cannot save itself or escape?"
Lin Xi stood on the edge of a cliff in Aojiao Mountain, shattering a small roll given to him by Zhantai Qantang into pieces and scattering it in the wind in front of him.
He had never considered himself a true Yunqin soldier before, but he had been in the army and had the most sincere respect for those soldiers in the army who had the most sincere sense of honor and sacrificed their lives to protect the empire.
.For him, the more than 400,000 southern expedition troops that entered Damang were countless patrolling troops in the Yangjiantian Mountains.
So at this moment, he could imagine how such a military situation would deal a blow to the self-willed Emperor Yunqin. He could also imagine how sad the Emperor Yunqin's face would be when he saw such a military situation, but in his heart, there was no
Any sense of schadenfreude.
Zhantai Qiantang could understand Lin Xi's mood at this moment. He smiled slightly and slowly explained: "According to some information I knew before, there is a material used for refining weapons in Purgatory Mountain called ghost oil wood. This kind of thing
The fuel refined with black phosphorus can emit extremely high temperatures and can melt metals that cannot be melted by ordinary flames in this world. But this kind of thing is very rare, even if it is usually used in some weapon refining places in Purgatory Mountain.
All can be withdrawn from the warehouse only with the approval of the headmaster. The amount that Wenren Cang Yue used this time will take the entire Purgatory Mountain to mine for who knows how many years."
"Using 200,000 Damang troops as bait." Lin Xi shook her head and said softly: "This is Wenren Cangyue preparing a counterattack in autumn and winter."
Zhantai Qiantang smiled bitterly and said: "I have to admit that he is indeed the most outstanding commander of this era, purely in terms of war victory and defeat."
"Based on your guess, what is the current situation of the battle in the northern border of Damang? What do you think the next battle will be like?" Lin Xi took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and turned to look at Zhantai.
Qian Tang asked. It would take a lot of time for the results of the Battle of Seizing Moon City to reach Yunqin Imperial City, and it would take many more days to reach them. After so many days, the northern border of Da Mang is no longer like this.
The northern border described in military intelligence.
Zhantai Qiantang had already thought about this. When he heard Lin Xi's words, he calmly whispered: "Hu Piyi must have been like us before, thinking that Wenren Cangyue's counterattack should be to defend the Moon Seizing City until the big day.
The reinforcements arrived and attacked from inside. Therefore, most of the Yunqin army rushed in a hurry. In five days, they completed the insertion and interception, surrounded Seizing the Moon City, and then took only three days to capture Seizing the Moon City.
.So now Yunqin's large-scale backup must be out of touch with the front line. The current situation should be that Wenren Cangyue's army is trying its best to eat up the Yunqin army retreating to the rear. Even if I command the army, in Yunqin
Now that Qin's main army has been depleted, Yun Qin's army totals hundreds of thousands, and if I lead my army to intercept and pursue them, I'm afraid I can lose more than half of them."
"Wenren Cang Yue had planned it for a long time. If he unified the army, the casualties of the Yunqin army would of course be even more severe." After Zhantai Qiantang paused for a moment, his tone became more solemn: "And the Yunqin army must not have expected it before.
Considering that the casualties would be so heavy, the transportation of ordnance and food and grass to the rear would still be based on the previous army rations. The weather in Da Mang was good in the past few years, and there would be no shortage of military food. But the Yunqin army is strong in ordnance. Wenren Cangyue will definitely
We have obtained a lot of powerful ordnance, and with the decline of one and the other, it is certain that Wenren Cangyue's army will regain the lost territory. The only thing that is not sure now is whether Wenren Cangyue wants to cross Qianxia Mountain."
"Other generals in Da Mang may not be able to pass it, but Wen Ren Cangyue wants to bring down Yun Qin, so he will definitely pass Qianxia Mountain. Hu Piyi may be able to fight with Wen Ren Cang in the familiar Qianxia Mountain.
Yue Yi fought, but he lost the troops he was most familiar with. Even if his mentality is not unbalanced, he will not be Wenren Cangyue's opponent." Lin Xi nodded, "He will definitely pass Qianxia Mountain."
Zhantai Qiantang nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Although for the huge imperial war, the Battle of Seizing Moon City was only a setback and was far from damaging its roots. However, if this continues, Wenren Cangyue will receive more and more support from Da Mang, and will become more and more powerful.
The stronger.
"I will leave later." Lin Xi turned to look at Zhantai Qiantang and said calmly: "I will go to Qianxia Mountain."
Zhantai Qiantang was moved and said in surprise: "Go now..."
"I know I will not be Wenren Cangyue's opponent now, don't worry, I don't want to kill Wenren Cangyue." Lin Xi said calmly, but with a slightly cold face: "I want to kill Xu Qiubai.
"
"According to the military information you just gave me, it was said that more than ten high-ranking Yunqin generals died in the assassination of archers. That person could only be Xu Qiubai."
"I'm going to kill him. I'll first chop off one of Wen Ren Cangyue's arms."
