The situation in the Western Qiang Kingdom is about to change badly, and Baishiyu is not ready for anything.

Although Fan Dachun, Deng Tonger, Han Wendang, Guo Hongzong and others have already developed fanatical praise for Chen Hai's military talents, they still feel great pressure when they hear the latest changes in the situation.

Who would have thought that it was the family of Zhang, the queen of the Western Qiang Kingdom, who colluded with the Heishan gang, and wanted to seek the throne of the Western Qiang Kingdom?

After leaving Tieliu Ridge, we head west. Wushao Ridge, which stretches 10,000 to 10,000 or 3,000 miles across the south side of the Xixia Corridor, blocking humans from entering the even more desolate realm of the South Gate - and the western end of the Xixia Corridor is the Pinglu Oasis, which is more than 900 miles long from east to west and about four or five hundred miles deep in north to south.

In the Pinglu oasis, lakes and rivers are crisscrossing. Pinglu Lake is the most vast and vast. It is 400 miles long from east to west and dozens of miles wide from north to south. The Qiang and Hu people are also called Pinglu Hai.

Mainly Qiang and Hu people, after thousands of years of development, they have been built around Pingluhai with a certain scale, with a total of more than 60 cities with a population of more than 100,000.

At this time, the Western Qiang Kingdom, which ruled the Pinglu Oasis, was one of the three major vassal states in the eastern region of Jinzhou. When its national strength was the strongest, it had a population of more than 10 million, with more than 200,000 chariots and elite cavalry.

Twenty years ago, more than 60 cities in Pinglu Oasis, almost 90% of which were captured by the conscription horses in the west of Dayan. Only a few cities located in the deep mountains on the northwest of Wushaoling were still in the hands of the Qiang and Hu nobles such as the Ye family.

Although the conscription horses in the west of Dayan were finally defeated and the Ye family successfully restored the country, after twenty years of rest and restoration, the population was restored to five or six million, and there were only more than forty cities that were repaired and rebuilt.

Even so, the Ye royal family ruled the Pinglu Oasis and was still one of the three overlords in the eastern region of Jinzhou. In addition to the garrison troops in Zhucheng, the Ye royal family directly controlled more than 100,000 elite infantry and cavalry.

The Ye royal family has long wanted to rest and recuperate, and even marry each other in exchange for a brief peaceful life with Hexi. However, there are too many people in the Pinglu Oasis that cannot let go of their hatred for being slaughtered by the soldiers of Dayan twenty years ago.

It is not difficult to imagine that once Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun and others collude with Kong Peng and other thieves to successfully overthrow the Ye family's royal family, they will soon gain a large number of support from small and medium-sized clans that are resentful to the Ye family in Pinglu Oasis, thus becoming a newly emerging royal force in Pinglu Oasis. Once the Zhang family firmly holds the throne of the Western Qiang Kingdom, they will soon assemble a large army and push towards Baishiyuping.

By then, Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng were all figures in the Daodan realm, and they were commanded by tigers and wolves, not something that ordinary horses could reach. It would be impossible for them to defend more than 20 small oasis scattered with less than 20,000 troops.

Even if they want to guard Baishiyu, it will be difficult.

The Baishiling City Guard wall was built just over knee-high at this time, and the place was only twenty miles deep. Once the surrounding oasis was captured by the Zhang family and the Heishan gangs, their troops and tens of thousands of tribes retreated to Baishiyu to defend, it would be meaningless?

For the time being, I will ignore the huge amount of food needed by tens of thousands of people, only 20,000 to 30,000 war horses and tens of thousands of animals. How much forage can be supplied as an oasis as small as Baishiyu?

In the eyes of Fan Dachun and others, at this time, the tribes were transferred to Moyue Lake, with 20,000 soldiers and 140,000 to 140,000. The defending Moyue Lake had a greater chance of winning.

The area of ​​the Demon Moon Lake Oasis is five or six times that of Baishiyu, and the water and grass are more abundant. The time they can hold on to is naturally much longer than that of Baishiyu. As long as they stick to the Heishan army, the enemy will naturally rescue the enemy and leave.

After all, the Pinglu Oasis is three thousand miles away from the Moyue Lake, and is separated by a vast sea of ​​sand. It is extremely difficult to ensure the supply of 30,000 to 50,000 elite troops.

The retreat to Moyue Lake was too passive. After discussing for a long time, Chen Hai finally decided to move to Moyue Lake as much as possible, and Deng Tong'er took charge of the matter. In addition, Han Wendang and Guo Hong led 10,000 horses and 10,000 slaves to explain Zhuang Yong, stationed in Baishiyu to continue building a city and practiced. He and Ning Chan'er, Fan Dachun, Han Qingyuan and others led 5,000 elite cavalry to Songyang Lake to rescue Ye Qinglin's remnants...

"Kong Peng led 20,000 elite cavalry to siege Ye Qinglin's remaining troops in Songyang Lake. Only 5,000 cavalry can rush to rescue. We were almost exhausted when we arrived at Songyang Lake. We didn't even know whether Ye Qinglin's remaining troops would be completely annihilated during this period. Is this trip too dangerous?" Fan Dachun asked hesitantly.

The two cavalrymen chased in the vast sand sea, and the advantages of the Jingjue Army's past attacking camp will be completely unreflected. The gap between the forces between the two sides is too large, so it is difficult for them to win.

What's more, before they arrived at Songyang Lake, Ye Qinglin's remnants were probably wiped out. What else could they do if they rushed over besides being hit by the Black Mountain Invaders?

"Even if the Zhang clan succeeds in subverting it, it will take time to completely control the Pinglu Oasis; even if the main figures of the Ye royal family were all captured by the Zhang clan, the soldiers loyal to the Ye clan would not be completely annihilated. We rescue Ye Qinglin not because we value the two or three thousand remaining troops in his hands, but only Ye Qinglin can call on the remaining troops of the Ye clan to gather in Baishiyu or Moyue Lake. Only Ye Qinglin can make the major city lords of the Pinglu Oasis not rush to turn to Zhang clan and the Heishan gang to make accomplices for the tiger..." Chen Hai said.

Zhang currently has only 40,000 soldiers and horses, plus Heishan gangs, only 60,000 soldiers and horses. They subvert the Ye royal family and have to leave a certain force to take charge of the capital. In a short period of time, half of the soldiers and horses can cross the vast sea of ​​sand to attack Heishan or Moyue Lake.

Chen Hai is guarding Moyue Lake or Heishan, and he is not afraid of 20,000 or 30,000 troops across two or three thousand miles of sand to attack.

The Pinglu Oasis has a population of 50,600 million and more than 40 cities. Once the Zhang family is fully controlled, the number of soldiers and horses that can be recruited will be far more than 60,000. Only then will they be in a dilemma in Black Mountain or Moyue Lake.

It is still easy to transfer tens of thousands of people within a thousand miles. In the end, if he wanted to retreat 160,000 people, mainly civilians and slaves, through the vast sea of ​​sand and into Hexi, even if there were no pursuers, he would not know how many people would die halfway.

What's more, Hexi is not short of these people. If these people retreat into Hexi, their influence on the Pinglu Oasis and even the entire eastern region of Jinzhou will be completely lost.

If this is the case, he might as well rob Dong Ning directly at the beginning.

Otherwise, he would lose all the good chess he had fought for at this time, the only way was to bring Ye Qinglin or other core figures of the Ye family to Baishiyu. As long as the Ye family's banner did not fall, not only could he gather the remaining soldiers of the Ye family in Baishiyu (Heishan), but he could call on many city lords of Pinglu Oasis to secretly resist the Zhang family who colluded with the Heishan gang. At least these city lords would not rush to surrender to the Zhang family, but he would force Zhang family to rush to attack Baishiyu without controlling the Pinglu Oasis - otherwise it would be difficult for Zhang family to hold the throne of the Western Qiang Kingdom.

"If you can help me defeat the conspiracy of the Zhang family and other rebel ministers and consolidate the rule of the Ye family's royal family over the Pinglu Oasis, what wish can't be achieved?" Chen Hai sat in front of the long case, staring at Fan Dachun, Han Qingyuan, Deng Tonger and others with bright eyes.

"Can you ask for help from Hexi?" Deng Tonger asked.

Fan Dachun and Han Qingyuan also looked at Chen Hai with anticipation. They all looked forward to achieving extraordinary achievements, but they also thought that if Hexi could send troops, the chances of victory would be much greater.

Chen Hai shook his head and said, "If Hexi sends troops, the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom will have an excuse to send troops. Everyone would not expect how the war will develop. Therefore, even if we ask for help from Hexi, Hexi will ignore it."

Dong was eager to marry Dong Ning in the west, just to solve the worries of the west, and would never want to fall into endless wars in the west. Before the situation was clear, there was even a trend of further falling into chaos. Chen Hai could conclude that Dong's family would only choose to sacrifice Dong Ning, Ran Hu and other children for the sake of the overall situation.

Chen Hai also said: "The Zhang family was forced to launch in advance, and there were too many preparations. The Heishan gang should be anxious to rush to the Western Qiang Kingdom at this time, joining the Zhang family's troops to control the situation of the Western Qiang Kingdom. We rushed to Songyang Lake. If the remaining troops of Ye Qinglin's troops were annihilated, the Heishan gang army would not pay attention to us for the time being; if we arrived at Songyang Lake, the remaining troops of Ye Qinglin's troops were still there, the Heishan gang army would be more likely to retreat westward in advance and would not be entangled with us - you don't have to worry too much..."

Although Fan Dachun hopes to explore the changes in the situation in the Western Qiang country and send troops, Baishixia is more than 2,000 miles south of the Western Qiang king, and it is difficult for the spirit eagle to approach the hinterland of the Western Qiang country for reconnaissance. At this time, he can only bet that the troops and horses in the Western Qiang country who are loyal to the Ye royal family are not so easy to be annihilated by rebellion.

After discussing and discussing, we also felt that it would be a good choice not to passively guard Moyue Lake and take the initiative to attack and rescue Songyang Lake.

*********************************

Fan Dachun's troops and the brave soldiers who were skilled in cavalry fighting among the tribes did not have 5,000 elite cavalry. They were still drawn from the cavalry and infantry, gathered 5,000 combat cavalry, and went out from Baishiyu overnight, crossing the vast sea of ​​sand and swept eastward.

In order to ensure sufficient physical strength and combat power, grassroots military officers were all given hundreds of medium and low-level spiritual medicines, and ordinary cavalrymen were all given two kilograms of stone oak honey - this is also the key to the Jingjue Army's repeated victory.

The leader of the horse thief is not short of low-level spiritual medicine, but he will never be willing to distribute the low-level spiritual medicine such as Shioumi to ordinary horse thieves to nourish qi and blood and restore the physical strength that is severely consumed during the marching.

He could not want the horse thief to be stingy. Chen Hai cleared out the villages, and the stone oak mince he captured was only 20,000 kilograms left. Five thousand cavalry forces would have to be consumed once. Even the Dong family in Hexi, which occupied the three counties, might not be willing to consume such a thing.
