The Chi road from Qintong pass to the West was seriously damaged, and many places were damaged by a small group of rebels from the deep mountains after Wei Yuqi led the main force to pass through.

    When the mountain collapsed and the road collapsed, Chen Hai and his men left a large number of cars and horses to the east of qintongguan. Tens of thousands of soldiers had only four or five hundred battles to ride and seven or eight or ten light chariots to push towards Qintong mountains. Naturally, the speed was not fast.

    In comparison, Wei Yusuo led 50000 soldiers of the Xiyuan army, but the advance speed was not a little slower than that of Chen Hai. There were frequent good reports to qintongguan. Almost every day, he could conquer one or two strongholds occupied by the rebels and kill hundreds of thousands of rebels.

    Half a month later, Chen Hai led his troops to Nanzhang mansion at the middle foot of Qintong mountains.

    Nanzhangfu is located in the hinterland of Qintong mountains. There are many mountains in the territory. Only Fucheng is located in a narrow valley basin, which is more than 40 miles long from east to west and more than 20 miles wide from north to south. The terrain is relatively flat. Many rivers converge from the deep mountains and form a lake about the size of the basin in the south of Fucheng.

    Nanzhang mansion has been destroyed. The city wall more than ten miles long is full of broken gaps. It has been destroyed. The villages and houses outside the city have been burned to ashes. There are ruins everywhere. There are countless refugees stranded outside the city.

    Chen Hai had limited supplies with them, so he naturally had no time to worry about these refugees. What''s more, he didn''t know how many rebels hid among these refugees, but drove them away, so that there was no possibility of harassing the army.

    The geographical location of Nanzhang mansion is very important. In addition to the Chi road across the Qintong mountains, there are many Valley roads that can go deep into the hinterland of the Qintong mountains. Almost 200000 refugee rebels fled from qintongguan to Nanzhang mansion, and then scattered from these Valley roads into the depths of the Qintong mountains.

    Wei Yuqi commanded the 50000 troops of the Xiyuan army and could only pursue the main rebel force with the largest number of troops. However, in order to prevent the rebels in other directions from copying Nanzhang mansion, he specially left tens of thousands of troops, the third capital of the Xiyuan army, in Nanzhang mansion to ensure that there is no danger in the future.

    There are many good news ahead, and the soldiers and horses behind the hall are most anxious; Third, tens of thousands of troops and horses have always been used as flanking troops and horses. Even under the Qin Tongguan City, there are not many rebel heads harvested, and there are not many military achievements recorded.

    At this time, seeing that Chen Hai led the Department to come, the generals of the third capital, such as riding Duwei and riding Duwei, couldn''t wait to hand over the disabled City, point together their troops and horses to the north, and hurried to meet Wei Yuqi.

    The military order sent by the main general Wei in the period also requires Chen hai to lead the Department to cover the side and fulfill the responsibilities of the soldiers and horses behind the hall.

    The third capital troops went south to meet with the main force to pursue and suppress the remnant bandits. The stronghold built by the remnant city of Nanzhang mansion was vacated, and Chen Hai led the troops directly into it.

    "What shall we do next?"

    Tens of thousands of troops entered the camp and arranged for investigation, warning and defense. After a period of tossing and turning, Tu Ziji had time to take Zhao Rong to the tent to see Chen Hai. He couldn''t wait to know what follow-up thoughts Chen Hai had in mind.

    Chen Hai handed over all the complicated military affairs to others. Standing on the hanging map, he was carefully studying the terrain near Nanzhang mansion. When he saw Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong coming into the tent, he knocked on the map hanging on the wall and said, "this map is too rough and simple. Ziji, you should first arrange people to spy on the terrain within a 200 mile radius and draw the map within Nanzhang mansion completely."

    The map issued by Taiwei mansion is very simple and simple. It is hung on the wall behind the big tent. On the map, only the directions of main rivers, gorge roads, prefectures, counties and important market towns in the depths of Qintong mountains are marked, but it is difficult to see the whole terrain near Nanzhang Mansion from this map; The village where two or three thousand people live is not marked at all.

    Chen Hai also knew that in this world where the strong are respected, Xuanzong''s contempt for ordinary people is reflected everywhere. Taiwei mansion''s maps of the Qintong mountains, which are close to the capital city, are so rough and careless, which is just an embodiment.

    Whether it is the Jingying army or the local garrison, the main generals are the children of the Zong valve, and there are many spiritual birds to take advantage of. With the terrain and landform of one or two hundred miles, you can have a panoramic view only by taking the spiritual birds to fly into the sky. It is really unnecessary for the Taiwei mansion and the prefecture and county to spend too much time on map drawing.

    Tu Ziji had to be patient first, arrange scouts to tour the sentry, expand the reconnaissance range, and record the terrain in Nanzhang mansion.

    Chen Hai summoned Zhou Jun, ran Hu, Wu Meng, cen Yunfei and sun Buhui to inquire about the camp. After some trivial military affairs were handled, he left Tu Ziji, Zhao Rong and Fan Cheng to talk about his real plan.

    Tu Ziji, Zhao Rong and fan Chengdu looked forward to Chen Hai''s final idea. Both Mr. Wen and fan Chun asked them to obey Chen Hai''s orders; Chen Hai can also see from their eyes that they think the troops should be stationed in Nanzhang mansion and on the Bank of Nanzhang lake.

    Nanzhang mansion is located in the key point of Qintong, and it is very moderate from Qintong pass. Wei Yuqi is really defeated by the trap of the red eyebrow sect. They stationed in Nanzhang mansion can not only receive the fleeing generals, but also quickly welcome the reinforcements from Qintong pass.

    At this time, Chen Hai looked back at the map hanging on the wall, sketched out the promotion route of the main force led by Wei Yuji with a charcoal pen, and said:

    "Wei Yuqi led his troops too deeply. Forty or fifty thousand troops and horses have gone deep into Tongbei area from Nanzhang mansion, and there are four pockets of terrain that can be called a pass. As long as any place is blocked by the rebels, the main force of the Xiyuan army will be completely locked in the depths of Qintong mountain, and finally there will be no bone residue left by the Chimei sect and the rebels. We Sit here and wait until how many disabled soldiers break out and join us? "

    "Still going north?" Zhao Rong asked.

    "Yes, we must go north to Zuojin Valley..." Chen Hai said, pointing to a node on the map.

    "If the rebels set up an ambush in the north of Tongbei, we will go deep into Zuojin valley. There are three pocket terrain to the north of Zuojin Valley, which can allow the rebels to lock us in the depths of Qintong mountain. At that time, won''t we all fall into the siege of the rebels?" Tu Ziji said.

    "If we can collect 10000 or 20000 disabled soldiers in Zuojin Valley, and if 20000 people in Taohua dock can arrive at Zuojin Valley in time to meet us, can we keep our feet in Zuojin Valley?" Chen Hai asked.

    "The strength of the rebels is still much stronger than us..." Zhao Rong doesn''t understand Chen Hai''s confidence that with twenty or thirty thousand disabled soldiers and twenty or thirty thousand people''s courage, he can stand firm among millions of refugee rebels.

    You should know that among the millions of refugee rebels, there are more than 1000 elite followers of Chimei sect led by Heavenly Master Gong Liang.

    Compared with the slow-moving army, more than a thousand elite followers of the red eyebrow sect led by Heavenly Master Gong Liang are much faster in the deep mountains and forests, and are likely to quietly cut off their way back and trap them in a desperate situation.

    "If you regard the capital and Qintong mountains as a whole, Dayan''s military strength is more than ten times stronger than the rebels. Why do the evil disciples of Chimei cult dare to gather in Qintong mountains to cause trouble? They are not refugees forced to have no way out." Chen Hai asked with a smile.

    Seeing Tu Ziji, Zhao Rong and fan Chengdu speechless, Chen Hai sighed slightly. He knew that the idea of respecting the strong in Yanzhou was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Tu Ziji can be said to be quite open-minded, but sometimes he unconsciously paid more attention to the comparison of absolute strength, but he didn''t know that the strength of Tao would change at any time, especially in local attack and defense The evolution of strength is more subtle.

    It is not easy for the red eyebrow sect to incite the rebellion of the refugees in Qintong and assemble millions of rebels. It is impossible to say that it is willing to destroy millions of rebels just to wipe out the remnants of the West Garden army, which is not the purpose of the red eyebrow sect.

    Is the red eyebrow sect willing to pay heavy casualties to the more than 1000 elite believers led by Gong Liang in qintongshan?

    Chen Hai knows that there will be an arduous and bloody battle waiting for them to enter Zuojin Valley, but as long as their will is firm enough to let the red eyebrow cult understand that it will pay an unbearable price to eat them, it will not be lifeless.

    Chen Hai added: "only when we confront the rebels in Zuojin Valley can the Xiyuan army not be defeated, and your Highness has more room for strategizing in the court hall. At that time, your highness can seize more initiative by replacing Wei with fan Shuai or others in order to revitalize the Xiyuan army in Qintong mountain - this is also our purpose of entering Qintong mountain in the west at this time."

    Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong shook their heads and smiled bitterly. They went out of Qin Tongguan and entered Nanzhang mansion. They thought they were bold enough. They didn''t think Chen Hai wanted to lead the Department to continue to go deep into Zuojin valley; It is said that it would be a great achievement if the remnant of Wei Yuqi could break through in Zuojin valley. Unexpectedly, Chen Hai''s ultimate goal is to form a confrontation with millions of rebels in Changlv valley.

    But no matter how dangerous the future is, since they have entered the Qintong mountains, they can only follow Chen hai to the end.

    Chen Hai and his team spent another four days in Nanzhang Prefecture. Although there were still good reports from Nanzhang prefecture to qintongguan, Wei Yuqi led the main force to advance at a slower speed, and the resistance of the rebels in the mountains of Tongbei became stronger and stronger.

    At the same time, the Scouts of the Xiyuan army also found that there were a large number of mountain bandits gathering from other places of qintongshan mountain to Tongbei mountain.

    Qintong mountain originally belonged to the old county of Qinshan. After Fahrenheit was granted Qinshan county and the hereditary Tibetan army, he gradually became a strong vassal in the region. In order to avoid Fahrenheit threatening the capital, Ying broke the old county of Qinshan into three, limited Fahrenheit''s sphere of influence to the southwest of Qintong mountain, and did not allow Fahrenheit to interfere in Qintong mountain.

    However, Fahrenheit does not allow the forces of the eight ethnic groups in Jingjun county to take root in the Qintong mountains. In recent years, although the Qintong mountains are home to prefectures and counties, they lack strong enough patriarchal clan to take root. There are also factors that Fahrenheit deliberately connives at, resulting in extremely serious banditry in the deep mountains and old forests of Qintong mountain.

    The banditry in qintongshan is extremely serious. The officials do not know how many bandits occupy the mountain stronghold and invade the government and counties in the depths of qintongguan. In their early years, these mountain bandits were entangled with the armed forces of local governments and counties, and their strength was much stronger than that of refugees. If Chimei cult intends to operate again in recent years, the situation is really not optimistic.
