Although Qi Hanjiang has a scar on his face, he is tall and burly. Even before entering the Mingqiao realm, he is born with a sense of courage, like a slash of hammers and slashes, so fierce that it makes people dare not look directly at it.

Qi Hanjiang looked down on Du Linan, who looked down on his appearance and dressed like a mercenary merchant, looked at Du Linan who brought back a bunch of useless information and piled it in front of Chen Hai, and laughed jokingly: "You can say anything. If you hold such a bunch of things, who has the patience to read it?"

Qi Hanjiang squeezed over and signaled that since Du Linan had already put down the information, he could sit down and answer Chen Hai's question.

"Don't be presumptuous, sit aside and listen to Director Du analyze the situation in Lucheng." Seeing Qi Hanjiang arrogantly trying to oppress Du Linan, Chen Hai glared at him and scolded him to sit aside honestly.

Qi Hanjiang is a natural brave general, and his cultivation progress is faster than Zhou Jun and others. In addition, his fearless nature is stronger after entering the Mingqiao Realm. Chen Hai glared at him, but his aura immediately retreated aside like a balloon that was exposed.

Du Linan seems to be a philistine businessman, which is more of a way for him to protect himself in Lucheng. He will not be angry about Qi Hanjiang's rudeness. He cares more about Chen Hai's attitude towards him.

Chen Hai has a rough appearance and a taller figure than Qi Hanjiang. It seems like a mountain sitting behind a table. However, Chen Hai's momentum is restrained at this time and no sharpness is revealed. His cultivation is obviously only in the early stage of Mingqiao Realm, but in Du Linan's eyes, Chen Hai gave him the feeling that it is far deeper than Qi Hanjiang. It is like a stone peak standing on the cold snowy field, neither far nor near, and indestructible.

If Du Linan still had the courage to compete with Qi Hanjiang at this time, but in front of Chen Hai, he thought that he would be difficult for him to even raise his fighting spirit.

However, it is not surprising to think about it. As the first choice of the Northwest Academic Palace in the Northwest Region, at least masters two true meanings, the No. 1 young strong man in the Northwest Region who is destined to enter the Daodan realm in this life, can also be called a military genius who has been rarely produced in Yanzhou for hundreds of years, and a puppet master who has been rarely produced in the mechanical arts for hundreds of years. He has won the reputation of the Black Mountain Arrow Demon in the Jinzhou Desert. The halo of Chen Hai, even many Daodan realm powerhouses in Hexi, have the ability to compete with him?

If Chen Hai hadn't been such a great person in front of him, Du Linan would not have violated the clan taboo and took out the Lucheng information he had collected in the past two years without reservation.

At this time, the interests of Taiweizong and Dong clan were greater than anything else. Du Linan could not betray Chen Hai because of his clan's personal grudges. However, from the perspective of the Du clan, he should be more passive and reluctant to act, rather than cooperate so actively.

However, when will he show the stage for Du Linan if he misses the opportunity in front of him be?

"Master Du, you have been in Lucheng for a long time. Have you ever discovered something abnormal in Lucheng recently?" It took time for Chen Hai to completely digest the information collected by Du Linan, so naturally, it is far better to ask Du Linan's opinions directly.

"The five tribes of Gu, Zhang, Zhao and Yang in Lucheng are independent, and also have complex connections with other clans in Pinglu Oasis. For example, the Zhang family in Lucheng is actually a branch of the Zhang family in Tianaishan. I am afraid that the Zhang family in Lucheng is weak. Even if they advocate supporting Zhang Xiong as the king of the country, they cannot decide the attitude of the other four families. Even if the other four families have sympathy for the Ye family, this sympathy is far from enough to make them openly stand up to support the restoration of the Ye family."

Du Linan said,

"After the attitude of the five tribes of Lucheng, if there is no intervention from external forces, they would rather be outside Zhang Ye's bloody battle to seize the country. As the second largest city in Pinglu, Lucheng is not the only one who wants to push Lucheng to make a choice as soon as possible..."

Chen Hai nodded. He was not so naive that he thought that Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other traitors had completely forgotten Lucheng, and could understand Lucheng's mentality of being able to do everything possible. Once the Jingjue army wants to violently capture Lucheng, it must be as fast as thunder and cannot be delayed at all. Otherwise, not only will it not be able to capture Lucheng, but it will also completely push Lucheng into the arms of the rebels.

The city guards in Lucheng had already been organized with 4,000 elite soldiers on the surface, but Lucheng's potential was beyond that.

After Emperor Yitian's expedition to the West, Zhou Gu and other five tribes operated Lucheng for twenty years. The information collected by Du Linan also stated that the five surnames usually possessed between 600 and 1,000 elite private soldiers. At this time, the five surnames controlled more than half of the workshops and farms in Lucheng. This actually means that more than 300,000 farmers, herdsmen and handicraftsmen inside and outside Lucheng were affiliated with these five surnames.

In addition, due to the interruption of the trade route, nearly 10,000 people were stranded in the business trip.

Among these business trips, Qiang and Hu people account for 90%, while Yanzhou people account for less than 10%. Because the horses and thieves traveled by the business trip, the proportion of guards with a foundation of cultivation in the caravan was extremely high.

What's more, after the Jingjue Protectorate's Office was officially established, the people who entered Lucheng under the name of a caravan were not only Qi Hanjiang, the group.

Many of these things mean that unless the Jingjue Army can capture Lucheng with lightning speed, the situation will be delayed slightly, and the Jingjue Army will soon be trapped in a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides of the enemy at Lucheng City.

In addition to the city walls, Lucheng is built with black sandstone, and the five sides of the city also deploy defensive magic circles. At this time, he is extremely vigilant. Whether the Jingjue Army attacks with dignity or raids, he cannot take Lucheng before the five surnames can react.

"The three people who entered Lucheng with the envoy before were named the guards of the caravan of the Lord of Changle City, but the departure date of the caravan of the Lord of Changle City was after the Zhang family rebelled and seized the capital. In addition to many low-level guards, there were two people in the caravan who did not show up often, but their cultivation was unfathomable," Du Linan said. "According to the information I have collected before, the He family in Changle City has many industries in China with the Tibetan and Qiang. The Lord of Changle City He Rong himself is a disciple from the Demon Temple and is determined to restore the glory of the Demon Temple. Therefore, the Zhang family rebelled, and He Rong did not stand up and support him as soon as possible, but remained neutral, which was a very strange thing in itself."

The Demon God Temple was once in the eastern part of Jinzhou for a while. Emperor Yitian led his troops to expedition the west. The Demon God Temple was also the core of the strong resistance of the Qiang and Hu. Although Emperor Yitian was defeated in the west, the loss of soldiers and generals, and even Emperor Yitian himself almost died in the depths of the sand sea, the two great Dao Cai realms and nine powerful people in the Dao Dan realms of the Demon God Temple died, which was also doomed to defeat the irreversible defeat of the Demon God Temple.

After the Dayan army retreated eastward, the forces of the Demon God Temple also retreated to the depths of the Dajin Mountain south of the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom to rest and rest. Since the sect no longer had the Daofei realm powerhouses, only three Daodan realm powerhouses barely maintained the situation, and quickly lost control of the eastern countries of Jinzhou.

However, it is undeniable that the Demon God Temple has a profound influence in the Pinglu Oasis.

The Zhang family treason and killed the Ye family who wanted to marry Hexi, and participated in the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom and the Demon God Temple. This was not surprising. However, as a disciple who was determined to restore the glory of the Demon God Temple, He Rong, secretly had close contacts with the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom. However, at this time, he did not publicly stand up to follow Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other traitors to jointly strengthen their control over the Pinglu Oasis. This matter is worth pondering.

In order to prevent the situation from expanding uncontrollably, Hexi will not directly send troops to intervene in the war of the Western Qiang Kingdom, but secretly supports the Jingjue Protectorate and the Ye family remnants. By the same token, the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom and the Demon Temple will not directly intervene in the replacement of royal power within the Western Qiang Kingdom, but it does not mean that they will not make any other small moves.

This is a war of agents at all.

And they can see the importance of Lucheng, and the rebels such as Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng, and the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom and the Demon Temple behind them will also not ignore the importance of Lucheng.

"He is the thief, how to fight this battle?" Qi Hanjiang sat aside, listening to Chen Hai and Du Linan's questions and answers, and slowly clarified the current situation in Lucheng, but he became more and more entangled and confused as he listened.

Although Ye Qinglin's direct royal army and the Jingjue army that had been initially expanded had a combined force of more than 30,000, even if these 30,000 were pushed to the city of Lucheng at lightning speed, they would not be able to successfully capture Lucheng.

After all, Lucheng is too close to the king capital, and the two are only four hundred miles apart, which means that the Jingjue Army cannot take Lucheng in half a day, and will fall into a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides. How can the Jingjue Army win the Lucheng with a deployment and a defensive formation in half a day?

It's not possible to do a surprise attack.

They don’t understand how many elites and masters there are in the Demon God Temple and the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom. It doesn’t seem to be very defensive in front of Lucheng, but how many elites have to be sent to attack and control a corner of Lucheng, making Lucheng’s defensive formation unable to play a role?

The lord of Changle City He Rong did not publicly stand up to support Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other traitors, but after the Ye family was destroyed, he used a large number of elites and strong men to Lucheng with caravans as cover, which sounded like a killing trap against the Jingjue Army and the Dong family at this time.

Qi Hanjiang now figured it out and said, "Since these dog thieves set up a trap in Lucheng, we can't get into his trap. We abandon Lucheng and seize Xuanfeng City in the northwest. I don't believe that the Tibetan Qiang Kingdom and the Demon God Temple also have such a gloomy layout in Xuanfeng City."

Xuanfeng City is also one of Chen Hai's alternative objects. Xuanfeng City is located on the northeast corner of Pinglu Oasis, forming an equilateral triangle with Heishan and Songyang Lake, and is currently neutral.

Chen Hai shook his head. Xuanfeng City was just the worst alternative in his mind. He said, "The situation is different from what we expected at first. Since the Demon God Temple and the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom are so deep, our rash move against the insignificant Xuanfeng City may make a neutral city like Lucheng quickly fall towards Zhang and Kong thief. Before we can gain a foothold in Xuanfeng City, Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other thieves may lead tens of thousands of troops to siege, and this battle will be difficult to fight."

"Then I'll beat my mother." Qi Hanjiang said.

Chen Hai shook his head slightly and smiled. The crossbow chariots and gold-tempered arrows that the Jingjue Army had compiled at this time were too limited. He led the Jingjue Army and the royal army led by Ye Qinglin to cooperate in combat. He was confident that he would defeat about twice the enemy, but he would take risks if he had more than 100,000 troops at one time, then an absolute strength gap would be formed. If he could not attack him, he would have to give up Xuanfeng City sadly and retreat to Heishan. At that time, the good chess he had fought for would be lost and would help Zhang, Kong and other thieves quickly unify the Lu Oasis.

Besides, the Jingjue Army has secret war chess such as crossbow chariots, but the demon god temple behind the rebels such as Zhang and Kong, supported by the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom, how could it not have a trump card? How could it continue to treat them as horse thieves and miscellaneous soldiers?

"What should I do? I won't fight back to Heishan?" Qi Hanjiang asked with his hands spread out.
