Starting from Ningxing, the further north you go, the more deserted it becomes.【】

There is a small town more than a hundred miles away from Linluo City, called the Racecourse. Good horses are produced in the bitter cold land. In the past, this was the horse breeding ground of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Later, the martial arts in the Northern Liao Dynasty gradually withered, and no one was willing to come to such a place to endure the hardships.

, and gradually became a place of exile.

It's a bit like Taiping County in northern Xinjiang. But obviously the Machang people are not as 'versatile' as the Taiping people.

When the Shegu army approached the city, the city of Machang almost fell with a drum. Most of the defenders in the city fled.

As the node between Zhenbeicheng and Linluo City, Machang City became the gathering place for the supplies of the Shegu Army.

The Shegu people were not engaged in production and captured a lot of grain and grass after they first broke through Zhenbei City. Later, after defeating the Northern Liao Army several times, they also captured a lot.

But it’s impossible to just sit back and have nothing.

Deji suggested organizing people to farm, but after the Shegu people captured the city, they burned, killed, and looted so much that when the people in the city behind heard that the Shegu people were coming, the first thought of the people was to run away.

Unlike people in the Tang Dynasty who cherish their homes, people in the Northern Liao Dynasty would not hesitate to abandon their homes before a crisis. As long as people are around, they can build a new home at any time.

The population of the Far North is not large to begin with, and with such an escape, there will be even fewer people left.

Therefore, Deji kept advising Asibao to change his style and look like an army of kings. Not to mention benevolent, but he cannot be cruel.

However, Asibao did not accept his suggestion, saying that until Ningxing was defeated, such methods must be used to maintain morale.

The Shegu people who came out of the mountains and forests were no different from the Northern Liao people after they lost their wild nature.

The people guarding the racecourse city are the real Shegu people, Qi Hu.

Qi Hu was also one of Asibao's playmates back then and followed him all the time. After Asibao drove away his father and brother, Qihu quickly rose to power.

As the name suggests, people with the character tiger are naturally strong and powerful.

Qi Hu has a straightforward nature. After he came out of the mountain, he was quickly fascinated by the colorful world. He likes to play with women and even more likes to drink.

But in the final analysis, what he likes is the fun of controlling people's destiny.

"Jump up!"

Qi Hu was drinking in the lobby, accompanied by several Northern Liao girls dancing.

He drank heavily, his face flushed, and he patted the long knife on the desk, "Faster!"

Several Northern Liao girls spun quickly, their skirts flew up, and their fair legs could be vaguely seen.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Qi Hu couldn't help but laugh.

A general came in and said, "The scout is back."

"How?" Qi Hu looked at the dance and asked casually.

The general said: "No abnormalities were found."

"The king has said that Yang Gou wants to return to the army under pressure from the Chang'an army. At this moment, he should be in a dilemma. Drink!"

Qi Hu raised his glass and looked at everyone, "After defeating Ning Xing, I will go to the palace and let the Dog Emperor's women dance for us."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

They rushed out with wild laughter, and several sergeants on duty enviously sniffed the smell of fat and powder, as well as the smell of wine and meat mixed together.

It's very fragrant, but also smells bad.

In a valley more than ten miles away from Racecourse City, thousands of cavalry were resting.

Jiang Cunzhong stood on the hillside, looking at the racecourse city in the dusk, but he only saw darkness.

Several riders entered the valley and found Jiang Cunzhong. "The enemy's scouts were not dense and were quite slack."

"This is good news!" Jiang Cunzhong said with his generals: "We stayed day and night along the way and successfully arrived here without encountering much trouble. This shows that the other party is slacking off."

Next, we have to look at Mo Cheng’s ability.

Jiang Cunzhong looked at

This is Yang Xuan's bodyguard. In Northern Xinjiang, only Yang Xuan can command. This time Yang Xuan sent more than ten people to follow him to attack Racecourse City, which is a sign of his trust.

To this day, everyone knows that Qin Guogong's structure will not be limited to Northern Xinjiang. People's hearts seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and many people are wondering whether they can find their own place in the Northern Xinjiang system.

Take sides!

It is extremely important at this time.

What if the Chang'an army attacks?

The worst case scenario is a fight!

Jiang Cunzhong was an old man in Northern Xinjiang, and was Yang Xuan's brother when he was not yet prosperous. In the Northern Xinjiang army, Nan He and Pei Jian were more important than him and Zhang Du.

The Northern Liao Dynasty was destroyed. As long as the Shegu people were defeated, Yang Xuan's situation would suddenly become clear.

After integrating Northern Liao's territory, Northern Xinjiang's strength will continue to grow as time goes by.

This power can make Chang'an tremble.

Zhang Du and Jiang Cunzhong murmured privately, saying that the current situation in northern Xinjiang might not last long.

The upper echelons of Northern Xinjiang all know this truth, but only the military and civilians are still at a loss in the old structure.

Be independent!

This is the first step.

Jiang Cunzhong couldn't help feeling happy when he thought about the situation in which Northern Xinjiang could be independent.

At that time, there will no longer be any need to worry about the constraints of the Bird Emperor.

"General Jiang Lang."

A big man came up and said, "Are you going to touch the city later or something?"

Jiang Cunzhong said: "First check if there are any hidden sentries outside the city."

Ahem!

Someone has a dry cough.

Jiang Cunzhong turned around, but it was Wu Rong, the elder of Yunshan.

After Yang Xuan's troops came to the mountain gate, Yunshan's head coach Guo Yunhai decisively stood in line, and he was extremely determined as soon as he stood in line. No, he sent the backbone of Yunshan to follow the army in this battle.

To those big men, Jiang Cunzhong was very polite, but to the monks in Yunshan, he was much more calm and somewhat businesslike.

"This sneak attack must be sudden and the defenders must be caught off guard. It is best to open the city gate. If not, a section of the city wall must be captured to protect the subsequent soldiers who will climb the city. Everyone in Yunshan... are you sure?

"

Jiang Cunzhong asked.

After deciding to side with Duke Qin, Guo Yunhai decided to move Shanmen to Taoxian County. He discussed this with Ning Yayun and showed weakness.

He had no choice but to fight. He couldn't defeat Ning Yayun. More important than connections and trust, it was said that Ning Yayun entered and exited the Duke's palace as naturally and calmly as entering and exiting metaphysics. Moreover, she could also kidnap Duke Qin's eldest son and run around the world.

Naturally, Yunshan cannot compare with this level of trust.

Therefore, Guo Yunhai lowered his attitude. This time, Yang Xuan asked monk Yunshan to follow him into the battle. Guo Yunhai carefully selected some people and ordered the most resourceful Wu Rong to lead the team.

Before leaving, Guo Yunhai told Wu Rong that in this battle, we must show our prestige in Yunshan and lay a good foundation for moving to Taoxian County.

Thinking of this, Wu Rong held up his hands and said loudly: "Machang City is small and low. If there is a sneak attack, there are several Yunshan disciples who are good at concealing their traces and are willing to clear the way for the army!"

"Oh!" Jiang Cunzhong didn't expect such a good thing, "Are you sure you can hide your traces?"

Wu Rong raised his hand and said without turning around: "Show it to General Jiang!"

Several Yunshan disciples changed their clothes, and then their figures flickered. When they looked again, they couldn't find him.

Jiang Cunzhong went closer to investigate carefully, because he knew there was someone here, and because he had good cultivation and good eyesight... he thought he would be able to find it right away. But after more than ten breaths, he found one of them.

"good!"

Jiang Cunzhong said: "If you perform meritorious service, the Duke of the country will have his own reward."

Wu Rong smiled and said: "Since the people on Yunshan Mountain have decided to follow the Duke, it doesn't matter whether they are rewarded or not."

Outsiders, what they want is not money, but respect!

Only those who are valued by the superior can bring incense.

This can be understood by looking at metaphysics.

When he first came to Northern Xinjiang, there were only a few schools of metaphysics. As Yang Xuan often came in and out, metaphysics gradually became the number one place outside of Northern Xinjiang.

Gods often have to rely on human power to assert their prestige.

Later, Jiang Cunzhong explained his arrangements to the big men.

"The people from Yunshan will go up first later, and I ask you to break through later."

He said it very politely, and the leader of the Qiu Long Guard man said: "Jiang Lang will not need to worry about our grudges."

That's good!
