Ning chaner led Zhou Datong and other 19 horse thief leaders away. First, she forced them to take inverse spirit powder. After watching them rush through the mysterious pulse orifices one by one and lose their combat effectiveness, she poured them a little inverse spirit powder so that they could not destroy Zhenyuan to recuperate their injuries.


    Next, she came back to find Chen Hai. She was still thinking about the capture of the war.


    Because a large number of materials, medium and low-level elixirs, talismans and seal characters were consumed in the war, this capture is far inferior to the battle of magic Moon Lake. Chen Hai and Ning chaner despised several mysterious magic weapons and spirit swords, so they gave them to the meritorious generals in this battle; Ning chaner finally took two cultivation fires and left the demon pill of seven or eight hundred years.


    The generals and soldiers fell into the carnival of winning another victory. Fan Dachun, Deng tonger, Han wendang and Guo Hongxuan were also happy, and Chen Hai''s prestige was also raised to the extreme.


    Even if the core generals can understand that Chen Hai''s national envoy identity is false, and Deng tonger can directly guess Chen Hai''s real identity, these will not damage Chen Hai''s prestige.


    And this is by no means what Ning chaner can achieve by relying on a few soul eating pills and controlling several strong people in the Mingqiao environment -- not to mention that the soul eating elixirs in the human body such as Deng tonger and fan Dachun have been cleared, but even if they are not cleared, they are still controlled by Ning chaner, but they can not control the middle and low-level military officers under them and their fanatical loyalty to Chen Hai.


    It was Chen Hai who led the generals and soldiers to create a victory that they could not imagine and could be said to be miraculous. Moreover, it was a series of great victories, which almost wiped out the horse thief''s nest in the desert in the northeast of Western Qiang.


    If someone had run to fan Dachun three months ago and told him that such a thing would happen in the next three months, fan Dachun would think that the other party had lost heart.


    Although there are tens of thousands of elite horse thieves under Kong Peng, the black mountain Wu Zun, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses that are likely to be disguised by the Tibetan and Qiang countries. Although the domestic situation of the Western Qiang is likely to change at any time, after many unimaginable miracles and victories, even fan Dachun, who is cautious by nature, becomes extremely optimistic at this time, thinking that in the future, it is nothing more than soldiers to block the water and earth.


    However, the extreme optimism of fan Dachun, Deng tonger, Han wendang and Guo Hongzhi is the heavy pressure on Chen Hai''s shoulder.


    The advantages and disadvantages of the horse thief are equally obvious, especially the left behind soldiers and horses. They don''t have the talent of a great general who really knows the war, which gives him an opportunity to take advantage of -- in terms of military use, Chen Hai can be called a master level figure, and his opponent is not at the same level as him. Even the most elite troops are full of flaws in Chen Hai''s eyes, Moreover, there is no strong Taoist elixir who can really threaten Chen Hai and Ning chaner.


    However, the elite army at this time, even if the force barely reached 20000, was far from elite. Among the horse thieves, there were not people who didn''t know the soldiers, but they were taken away by Kong Peng, a black mountain Wu Zun, leaving a big empty crotch, which was deeply drilled by Chen Hai.


    Next, especially when the black mountain bandits slow down, things are not so simple.


    In particular, Kong Peng, a black mountain warrior, had long served as the northern army captain of the Western Qiang army before abandoning his nationality and fleeing. He had rich experience in running the army and leading soldiers. His horse thief leaders were also old army leaders, which was not so easy to deal with.


    It''s easy to defeat the black mountain city. Considering that the situation of the Western Qiang country will change at any time, once the internal thieves of the Western Qiang country are called to contact the foreign enemies, subvert the Ye royal family and steal the Western Qiang country, Kong Peng, the Wu Zun of Heishan, will lead a large number of troops to counter attack at any time. At that time, the offensive and defensive trend will change, and the evolution of the war situation will be more complex.


    The magic Moon Lake can only support 40000 or 50000 people in a short time, and any more will exceed the load. However, more than a dozen small tribes, coupled with a large number of slaves released by the thief strongholds, the number of people controlled by the Jingjue army has exceeded 130000, and 20000 soldiers and horses need to be raised. A series of small and medium-sized oases around Montenegro must not be given up easily.


    Otherwise, they all withdrew to the magic Moon Lake and stole Kong Peng and other thieves from the Western Qiang state. As long as they stationed 20000 elite troops in Montenegro and had patience for a year and a half, they could directly drag down the magic Moon Lake.


    Montenegro must defend, but once the offensive and defensive trend changes, the Jingjue army will lose the initiative.


    Moreover, the 20 small and medium-sized oases belonging to Montenegro are not concentrated in one place. They are mainly scattered in a circular area with Montenegro as the center and a radius of 300 Li. Among them, the largest oasis Baishiyu is located more than 300 li away in the south of Montenegro, with an area of less than 20 Li. It is only one fifth of the size of magic Moon Lake oasis - a large number of people, livestock Resources are scattered in these 20 oases. How to keep them?


    The scope of Heishan oasis itself is very small, which is only equivalent to Yequ mountain, and the area covered by sparse meadow is only four miles deep. In addition to the steep terrain, Heishan is mainly located in the center of these 20 small and medium-sized oases.


    Montenegro is not suitable for building a big city. The water from two springs and the sparse meadows bred are not enough to feed 10000 or 20000 animals, let alone domestic water and agricultural water after a large number of people gather.


    Heishan city must be built to rule the surrounding land of three or four hundred miles. It should be built in Baishi valley with relatively abundant water resources and 20 miles deep meadow in the south.


    Now Heishan city is completely damaged. If you want to repair it, it is no different from reconstruction. It''s really better to build a new city in Montenegro to Baishiyu.


    Only Baishiyu can garrison tens of thousands of soldiers for a long time, but a large number of horses and livestock should be scattered to other oases for grazing.


    At the same time, Kong Pengzhen can lead the army to counterattack one day. Baishiyu is also the first to bear the brunt. We should guard Baishiyu first.


    After much consideration, Chen Hai finally decided to let the army rest a little, but began to transfer to Baishiyu in batches to find new fighters.


    At the same time, when the horse thieves gave up Guhuo mountain, there were twenty or thirty thousand slaves who were extremely weak and abandoned there.


    Chen Hai could have ignored the abandoned slaves in the bandit stronghold for the time being, but when the horse thieves moved to the magic Moon Lake and Guhuo mountain, they concentrated grain, grass, livestock and other materials to the magic Moon Lake and Guhuo mountain as much as possible. If Chen Hai didn''t send someone to gather these slaves to the magic moon lake or Montenegro, these slaves would be trapped and dead if they didn''t have the ability to cross the vast desert Starved to death in those large and small oases with seemingly abundant water and grass.


    Whether it''s magic moon lake or Montenegro, what''s missing or people -- what Chen Hai wants to do at the first time, or first concentrate the abandoned slave records of scattered villages to magic moon lake or Baishi valley.


    Now it is the mid spring of the 76th year of emperor Yitian. The oasis in the depths of the desert can only be cultivated for a few months a year, and the matter of farming and grazing will be restored as soon as possible. Otherwise, the grain gathered from the villages will only last until next year. If there is no harvest this year, tens of thousands of people will face famine the next year.


    In the current situation, Chen Hai has both near and far worries. If he doesn''t solve these things well, the previous victories are just a high tower piled up with gravel. It looks gorgeous, but it will fall down as soon as he pushes it.


    No one is proficient in farming and water conservancy affairs, whether fan Dachun, a general born as a horse thief, or many tribal leaders. Many things can only be done by Chen Hai himself.


    Fortunately, the horse thieves also have the need to repair the armour and build the stronghold, and the requirements are not low. They gather all the slaves in the stronghold, and they can even select thousands of skilled craftsmen. This is an unexpected joy. It saves Chen Hai''s old nose, and is also the key to making a large number of stone throwing crossbows in the early stage.


    However, the time left for Chen Hai was so short that he didn''t have time to build a mechanism crossbow or a mechanism chariot.


    In addition to leaving more than 100 Han people to lead more than 3000 slaves who had just been liberated from cruel oppression to repair their villages and engage in farming and herding in Montenegro, Chen Hai also led the baggage camp and the last 2000 horse troops to Baishiyu in the South on the seventh day.


    Three hundred miles away, walking slowly, it''s only a two-day trip.


    That night, Chen Hai and them chose a stone valley that could take shelter from the wind to camp. There was no enemy around for thousands of miles, so they didn''t have to rush all night; Otherwise, the consumption of horses is too great.


    This stone Valley is located in the depths of the vast desert. There is no water source. Chen Hai stands on a 100 meter high cliff and looks at the black sandstone layers exposed in the vast sand sea.


    "What are you thinking?" Ning chaner flew over like a startled rainbow.


    "In addition to Shiyue gorge, the rocks of several stone mountain cliffs we saw outside Montenegro, including many oases, are mainly black sandstone. I wonder if the underground of many oases such as Montenegro will be a whole large rock layer connected by the terrain?" Chen Hai said.


    "Yes or no, what''s the difference?" Ning chaner asked puzzled.


    "If so, and the whole rock stratum under the mainland within a 300 mile radius is relatively shallow from the surface, then transform the flow direction of streams and rivers formed by the springs of 19 oases around to make it centered on Heishan. In this way, the water lost by streams and rivers due to infiltration will be greatly reduced, which can breed larger oases!" Chen Hai said.


    In the depths of the vast desert, no matter the glacial melt water or the earth vein springs, the streams and rivers eventually formed will disappear in the depths of the desert due to leakage and evaporation. To expand the oasis area, we can only think of ways from leakage.


    "Ah!" Ning chaner''s sandalwood lips were slightly open. Unexpectedly, this was what Chen Hai was considering.


    In Heishan and other places, the water flow of Diquan is not small, but the scale of lakes and rivers formed is quite limited. In addition to evaporation, it mainly penetrates into the sand sea in all directions -- if the underground near Heishan is really connected into a piece and is relatively shallow from the surface, draining many rivers to the inside, it means that there will be a lot of water, If it is locked by the rock stratum under the sand and does not continue to leak underground, it will not lose a lot in vain.


    Then the area of oasis that can be bred near Heishan may be several times that in the past.


    "How can you confirm your guess?" Ning chaner asked.


    "Digging wells in the sandy land near Heishan can not only find new water sources, but also explore the depth of underground rock strata. Is this the case? If more than 100 sand wells can be dug, it can be generally confirmed, and subsequent spring channel reconstruction may be carried out," Chen Hai said.


    Although Yanzhou''s refining utensils are extremely developed, Xuanmen is highly built, flying to the sky and plundering the earth, and the magic weapons created are powerful, they all serve a small group of people. The civilian society is still in the stage of agricultural civilization. It can also be said that it is caused by the huge fault formed by the world''s religious valves, religious doors and civilian society.


    Chen Hai thought to himself what advantage he would have, that is, he had seen the huge and miraculous projects built on the earth, all created by ordinary people like mole ants with the power of ordinary people.
