In the late winter of the eighty second year of emperor Yitian, the whole vast sea was frozen for thousands of miles, and the top and bottom of Mount Yao were also snow-white.
What''s different is that the lonely mountains in the past became lively. After more than a year''s hard work, hundreds of thousands of demon barbarians and Yanzhou slave slaves were used to open up the valley path and mountain path, which completely connected the interior of Yaoshan, connecting the large and small tribal habitats, as well as the most important white deer city, magic ape City, Silverstone City, hailing City There are five most important cities in Beiyuan city. From time to time, vehicles and horses transport materials between the five cities.
As the ruling center of Yaoshan mountain, the dark gray city wall is also covered with heavy snow. At this time, many demons and barbarians are cleaning the snow at the head of the city. A trumpet sounds from time to time, but teams of barbarians are training on the school field.
Looking north, next to Beiya fish stronghold, thousands of demons are busy in a small ice pit, transporting a net of big fish to the shore.
Although the barbarians will be in short supply of food every winter, the iron cliff Department has made ample preparations this year. It sent people to watch in the fish stronghold early, waiting for the sea water in the north to be completely frozen and break it.
Although there are no demons and apes to help at this time, they want to break the tens of meters thick ice, but as a powerful tribe with a powerful craftsman camp that can make many instruments, there are always many ways, but it needs some trouble.
The continuous fishing of sea fish not only filled the vacancy of food, but also provided a solid foundation for the rule of Tieya department.
After Tieya surrounded the Tuoba tribe in Hailing plain, tiekun ordered all the surrounding tribes to gather in Yaoshan and accept more severe rule. Many tribes were very resistant. After all, they are used to being free and loose. Even giants such as the Blackstone Khanate will not limit their gathering places.
Most of the tribes were limited to the tense and urgent situation at that time and were frightened by the force of the iron cliff department. They were unwilling to move to Yaoshan. Nevertheless, there are still many tribes migrating further away, trying to get out of the control of the iron cliff department.
However, there is no way to go south to Kobian to replenish food and labor. Only the tribes moving to Yaoshan can rely on the lack of fish to replenish food. Those tribes who want to break away from the control of Tieya tribe live a very miserable life. When this cold winter passes, I don''t know how many people can survive.
Tuoba banner finally led the 60000 disabled soldiers of Tuoba department and Keli department to the east of Tonghe River and completely ended the World War I of Yaoshan. The battle was defeated miserably. The Tuoba department and the Keri department did not go their separate ways, but carried out real integration under the promotion of leaders such as Tuoba Hao, Zuo Yang, Tuoba banner and Zuo Jiu.
They knew that the rise of the iron cliff department was inevitable, and the black Yan army had terrible combat power. The Tuoba department and the krei department could not really integrate together, and could not gather the large and small tribes in the periphery. Not to mention facing the black stone Khanate and the rising dragon army in the south, even facing the iron cliff department, they had no chance to win.
Cultivating Yuanshen can''t be accomplished in a day. It takes quite a long time. Now that the event of Yaoshan has been decided, Chen Hai can''t wait to return to yuchengling.
Before leaving, Chen Hai specially rushed to the underground palace at the northwest foot to see Ning chan''er.
At present, Chen Hai divides the Yaoshan underground palace into three areas. The Xilu underground palace is located in the underground of Bailu gorge. Before the elite and bitter slaves of the Terran have completely retreated to the south, it is temporarily controlled by the second battalion of Tieya army; The underground palace at the foot of the northwest is the place for Ning chan''er''s latent cultivation. Each has its own portal.
Ning chan''er had more than ten drug slaves under his command before. This time, he controlled Mutu, Meng Li and more than 20 wuman as drug slaves. At this time, they all wore iron masks to serve in the underground palace at the northwest foot. There were three Linghu with extraordinary strength. Ning chan''er also had a group of real elite available.
Chen Hai still cares about Ning chan''er''s going and staying. He specially came to ask clearly before he could leave Yaoshan and go back to Hengshan.
"Why, are you afraid that I will run away from alchemy?" asked Ning Chan''s beautiful eyes.
"..." Chen Hai saw that Ning chaner had other intentions. Ning chaner''s identity was not exposed at this time. She was still Ning''s legitimate daughter and imperial concubine TAISUN. If emperor Yi died, Ning and Prince Yingdan could not be indifferent in Yanmen County, but he didn''t know what kind of chaos would happen in Yanjing at this time. He thought it was a little earlier to tell Ning chaner.
"If you need anything for alchemy, talk to tie Kun. If there is a lack of iron cliff, I''ll send it to you from Hengshan," Chen Hai said. "Or you can go to Hengshan to meet Su Ling when you are free."
"Sister, I will see you." Ning chan''er smiled.
"Then I''ll leave." Chen Hai stood up and said.
Qi Hanjiang and his mother-in-law went to Shouyang mountain with Yan Yuan and Heiyan Army long ago. There are 100000 elite, hundreds of thousands of people and bitter slaves to be resettled. Any very difficult, many big demons, even the four big demons, namely demon ape, black horn demon tiger, black scale cunning and green giant wolf, have not yet understood the transformation chapter. It is not convenient to go south with Chen Hai for the time being. They will continue to stay in the underground palace for latent cultivation, It is also a guarantee that there will be no changes in the situation in Yaoshan.
Finally, Chen Hai, Cangyi and Yao Wenjin quietly left the magic ape city and embarked on the road to the south.
Cang Yi naturally wants to fly directly to yuchengling and Hengshan. He turns back to his real body and takes Chen Hai and Yao Wenjin. It only takes half a day to fly over the eight or nine thousand mile Guanhe River and reach yuchengling, but Chen Hai wants to walk a few more days in the ice and snow south of Yaoshan to get a closer understanding of the terrain from yuchengling to the city.
No matter how urgent the situation in Yanjing is, it is not afraid to delay for a few days.
Yao Wenjin has recovered to the peak of cultivation in the spirit setting, and can barely keep up with Chen Hai without help.
The three walked and stopped in the snow. They didn''t arrive at Shouyang mountain until the evening of the fifth day.
Although Shouyang mountain is named after the mountain, it is only composed of some hills more than 100 meters high. It covers an area of more than 200 miles. In addition to the excessively cold temperature and high terrain, there are also cultivated land that can be reclaimed. It is a good place.
The family members of the remnant of the black Yan army, old and young, nearly 300000 people, moved one after another in the winter. With the help of several wind flame airships, there was a lot less difficulty. When Yan Yuan led the south, many simple camps had been built here.
When Chen Hai and others arrived, the north of Shouyang mountain had just experienced a battle. The periphery of a camp was bloody. There were thousands of corpses of demons and barbarians lying everywhere. Looking carefully, there were women and children covered with green scales and small size.
Yan Yuan had already received the news that Chen Hai was coming. At this time, he greeted him at the gate of the camp.
Yao Wenjin asked curiously, "don''t these demons know that general Yan has 100000 elite soldiers here? Why do they still bring old and young women and children to die?"
Yan Yuan leaned over to look at the messy battlefield and said helplessly: "This is a neighboring tribe. It is said that when Shouyang mountain first built the stronghold, we could still get along well with them. However, with the heavy snow falling, we wanted to ask for some food for the winter. We also cooperated with Tieya department for several months and didn''t have any resistance to demon barbarians. But they were too greedy and raised their demands again and again "At present, the black Yan army has to rely on the Longxiang camp to get through the food shortage. In a rage, they cut off their rations. As a result, they fought, and this should be the last batch. I knew it would be good to have someone sweep them directly. It also made the village bloody and made the women and children in the stronghold nervous for no reason."
Chen Hai and Yao Wenjin sighed, but the demon man has always been like this. Its own production system is not perfect. When it is short of clothes and food, it is just to grab some; when it is impossible to grab, it can only face extinction.
Fortunately, Chen Hai has helped Tieya establish a fishing and farming system, and there is no fear of food shortage. If there is no doom of blood demon invasion, tiekun leads his people to take root in Yaoshan. I''m afraid that in a few decades, a new empire will really rise on the Bank of the vast sea.
While talking, several people came to Yan Yuan''s tent.
Yan Yuan knew that the blood devil disaster would break out soon. He wanted to lead his troops south again at any time and withdraw to the south of Yucheng ridge, so he didn''t bother to build a large-scale construction in Shouyang mountain.
Even his handsome account is very simple.
In the dim yellow light, Yan Yuan explained the situation of Shouyang mountain to Chen Hai.
The slaves brought back from Hanhai and the family members of the black Yan army are as young as 370000. Now the most critical issue is food, grass and clothes to keep out the cold.
The old, the weak, the women and the children are just enough. It can be harder, but hundreds of thousands of young people still need to maintain basic training. The food consumed is an astronomical number.
After the Tonghe river is frozen, a lot of supplies are more convenient to transport from yuchengling. However, compared with the consumption of Shouyang City, it is still a little stretched
"In addition to gradually arranging for old and weak women and children to go south, elder martial brother Yan can also use things cheaply in Shouyang mountain," Chen Hai said with a frown, "All the tribes that can be controlled by Tieya have gathered in Yaoshan. Except that at this time, the large and small tribes from Shouyang mountain to the West will threaten the transportation channel of the north line. Elder martial brother Yan can lead the Department to sweep it once or supplement the shortage of materials..."
The remnant of the black Yan army has a foothold in Shouyang and can''t show too much involvement with the Long Xiang army. In particular, the Long Xiang army is not particularly rich in resources at this time. The black Yan army needs to use all means to strengthen itself, and robbing barbarians is also one of the ways.
Yanzhou cannot be robbed by barbarians for thousands of years.
