    As Murong Cheng returned to Yangzhou, the fighting in Qi became more and more intense.  In particular, the transactions between the Tang Army, Yanzhou Army and Zhao Army made the actions of various princes more intense.

    Although princes from all walks of life are suspicious of the secret relationship between Yanzhou Army and Zhao Army, there is no substantial evidence and nothing can be explained.  Of course, at this moment, with the chaotic fighting like this, even if the Yanzhou Army has a relationship with the Zhao Army, they can't do anything else.

    The fierce fighting represents the beginning of another round of refugee flows.  Refugees from Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other places have gradually entered Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places that have gradually stabilized.

    Feng Ziming and local officials in Yuzhou and Yanzhou also became nervous, mobilizing local governments and border garrisons to accept and arrange for refugees.  Since this had already been estimated and prepared, the resettlement work of the refugees was carried out in an orderly manner.

    At this time, Zhao Xun had left Yanzhou and appeared in Bingzhou.

    Returning to Bingzhou again, the scene here is very different from the past.  The refugees who used to be scattered all over the place are now being properly resettled.  The once barren fields are now green.  Seeing the people living a peaceful and stable life, Zhao Xun couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

    In Jinyang City, Bingzhou Governor Cheng Qingming reported on the current situation of Bingzhou.  I also have a better understanding of Bingzhou.  Since Zhao Jun captured Bingzhou and reached a trade agreement with Situ Lei, Bingzhou began to enter the road of rapid recovery and development.  Countless refugees poured into Bingzhou from the south and settled down in Bingzhou.

    With the support of the entire Zhao army, the people's livelihood in Bingzhou was quickly restored.  The trade between merchants from Zhao also made Bingzhou gradually prosperous.  Although it is not as good as other state capitals in Zhao, it is already much better than the earliest ones.  In this regard, both the original people in Bingzhou and the people who migrated from other places are full of hope for the future.

    "It seems that you have done a good job here! It is much better than before." Zhao Xun, the governor of Jinyang City, said with a smile after hearing the Qingming report.

    Cheng Qingming said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there is a huge force behind this, otherwise, it would be so fast. At the beginning, I don't know how much materials have to be transported every day, and how much money it costs  How much money. The Lord¡¯s strong support is the most important factor in Bingzhou¡¯s rapid recovery.¡±

    Cheng Qingming¡¯s words are true. The land of Bingzhou, especially the northern part of Bingzhou, was badly governed by Cao Gang in the past. Coupled with the disasters caused by the Turks, the people were living in dire straits.  Later, after regaining this place, Youzhou allocated a huge amount of money and grain to support the infrastructure construction here.

    "How is the spring plowing in Bingzhou going? Fields are the basis for people's survival. As long as they have fields and food, there will be no problems, let alone refugees and bandits."

    Cheng Qingming said in a deep voice: "Everything has been completed. In order to cultivate the fields, the government organized a large number of prisoners to build rivers and water conservancy projects. Now, a large number of Turkic slaves are escorted back every few days.  Part of it is allocated to Xiazhou, and part of it is allocated to Bingzhou, specifically responsible for water conservancy and road construction. "

    "In addition, the government also distributed a lot of agricultural tools and seeds, and gave them to the people on loan for spring farming. Now, there is a more favorable condition for Bingzhou and Xiazhou, that is, we can use plunder and trade to  Among them, cattle are extremely important and beneficial tools.¡±

    "Are there any refugees entering the south in the near future? Will Yong Jun let them go?"

    "There are still some refugees recently, but they are much less than before. Moreover, most of the immigrants are old, weak, women and children. This is because the Yong Army took advantage of the time when Murong Cheng was fighting with the Xuzhou Army, Tang Army, and Yanzhou Army.  , hoping to seize the lands in the southwest of Qi. Therefore, they not only moved their focus westward to Chang'an, but also recruited young and strong soldiers. Therefore, all the young and strong people among the refugees were recruited by the Yong army.  However, many people have migrated here. In the past few months, there have been hundreds of thousands of refugees in Liangzhou alone."

    Zhao Xun frowned slightly and said: "It seems that this Situ Lei regards our place as a shelter. He takes the young and strong men as soldiers, but treats the old, weak, women and children as a burden and gives them to us. He can obtain sergeants  "Please let these drag you down and create pressure on us to prevent us from thinking about Chang'an and other places in Yongzhou."

    Cheng Qingming said in a deep voice: "Do you want us to stop accepting refugees? These are old, weak, women and children, and all the middle-aged men in their families are soldiers of Yong Army. It is normal for us not to accept them."

    These shook their heads and said: "No, continue to accept them. Since these old and weak women and children have become refugees, it means that they are not related to the young people at home.?Contact has been lost.  The people are innocent, if we cut off their way to survive, then"

    "What's going on in Liangzhou? Now that Yong's army is actively attacking, the number of refugees should have decreased. As for Liangzhou, things have always been peaceful. Why did the number of refugees suddenly increase?"

    Cheng Qingming frowned and said: "It seems that it is because the countries from the Western Regions invaded Liangzhou. I don't know the specific situation. There are many Qiang and Hu in the land of Liangzhou, and the conflicts between Hu and Han are not small. Now the governor of Liangzhou has no time to take care of it.  People's livelihood is only concerned about the position of King Yong, and it is normal to go to war and increase the number of refugees. "

    "LiangzhouLiangzhou" Hearing this, Zhao Xun remembered the fact that Murong Cheng sent people to join forces with him.  At the beginning, he asked the navy to leave a message to the Yangzhou Navy, saying that Zhao Jun was willing to join forces with it to attack Situ Lei.  In fact, the original intention was just to give Murong Cheng the confidence to fight back ruthlessly.  As for whether to attack Liangzhou, the final decision has not yet been made.  However, now it seems that Liangzhou really needs to be solved.

    "Countries in the Western Regions? These guys who bully the weak and fear the strong will deal with them sooner or later!" Zhao Xun whispered coldly.

    "In this regard, I can only express regret for the future of the countries in the Western Regions!" Cheng Qingming said with a smile.  He knew Zhao Xun well.  As my lord, I have always been accustomed to speaking in a tough manner. These countries in the Western Regions are afraid of disaster.

    Zhao Xun didn¡¯t stay long in Bingzhou, and then went to Xiazhou.  Xiazhou, this newly established state, was also an area newly under the jurisdiction of Zhao Jun.  Here, the once large Qiang and Hu tribes have now disappeared.  Countless Qiang and Hu tribesmen were either moved to various states in the Zhao region or turned into slaves to build cities, roads and water conservancy projects in Xiazhou and Bingzhou.  A large number of Han people moved north here and became the new masters of this defense that was more than a thousand miles away.

    Compared with Bingzhou, this place is slightly rundown.  However, as countless cities and towns are gradually being built, this place will prosper sooner or later.  As we walk along the road, the fields on both sides of the road begin to be green.  Some places not suitable for planting are also covered by small green trees.  This is where Zhao Xun ordered afforestation.

    In Xiazhou, Li Chenfeng led 70,000 Zhao troops from the first, third and fourth towns to garrison here.  Together with the four armies of the Eight Imperial Guards in the north of Bingzhou, they formed the northern defense line of Zhao.  Of course, at this moment, whether it is Xiazhou or Bingzhou, the border line has been extended a hundred miles to the north.  Throughout Xiazhou and the northern part of Bingzhou, sixteen cities have been built, forming a horizontal line.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Greetings to my lord!"

    In Xiazhou City, Zhao Xun met the governor of Xiazhou, the pacifier envoy, the tax envoy, and Zhang Yuanjing, who was coordinating the overall situation in the north.

    "No need to be polite!" Zhao Xun said softly, "Thank you for your hard work!"

    "Zhang Yuanjing, you should be the first to be able to defend Turks and foreigners!" After everyone sat down, Zhao Xun smiled and said to Zhang Yuanjing, who looked a little dark.

    Zhang Yuanjing said respectfully: "Subordinate"

    "No need to refuse, it's yours, it's yours, no one else can take it away!" Zhao Xun waved his hand to stop what Zhang Yuanjing wanted to say, and then said, "Tell me about the situation on the Turks side."

    After Zhang Yuanjing¡¯s story, Zhao Xun also understood the situation of the Turkic invasion.  Thanks to our own preparations, we recovered more than a hundred tribes within hundreds of miles one by one.  Three lines of defense were established. The outermost were the nine tribes, followed by more than thirty tribes under the control of Zhao Jun, and the innermost were the Zhao army.

    However, under the organization of their leader Xue Nie Khan, the Turks are now fighting more and more intensely.  Xue Nie Khan had many soldiers and generals, while the nine major tribes had the advantages of armor and equipment and sufficient food.  The two sides were evenly matched from the beginning, and even as Xue Nie Khan's army increased, the nine tribes began to fall into a disadvantage.

    "Now, if our army hadn't participated in the war, wouldn't the nine tribes have been able to withstand Xue Nie Khan's army?"

    "Yes, the Turks have a very vast territory and many tribes. As time goes by, Xue Nie Khan can recruit more soldiers. Now, the total strength of the nine tribes is only more than a hundred thousand. And.  Xue Nie Khan has more than 300,000 troops, including his Wang Ting troops, which are estimated to be around 500,000. These are already on par with our Zhao army," Zhang Yuanjing said with a wry smile.

    "So many?" Zhao Xun was also surprised.

    "But fortunately, with our support, armor, equipment, and food, the nine tribes far surpass Xue Nie Khan, and they will not collapse at the first touch. The only pity is that the branches of the nine tribes are thousands of miles away  Xue Nie Khan's troops were scattered along the long border and were no match for Xue Nie Khan. Now, Xue Nie Khan concentrated his troops to the north of the Tumen tribe at the junction of Xiazhou and Bingzhou, intending to attack this tribe and destroy it.  The Interception of the Nine Tribes??Come into our situation.  "

    "The Tumen Tribe is the center of the nine major tribes, and it is also the tribe where we have full power to decide. On weekdays, all the meetings of the nine major tribes are held here. Xue Nie Khan knows the importance of this place, so he plans to capture it first.  General Li Chenfeng also rushed here to guard the area. It was also because of this that General Li Chenfeng did not come to meet the lord."

    "I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly!" Zhao Xun whispered to himself, and then said to Zhang Yuanjing: "In that case, I will rush to the Tumen tribe in person. I want to see what Xue Nie Khan can do for revenge.  How many casualties have been paid for the revenge of Bingzhou?"

    Zhao Xun rushed to the Tumen tribe with 20,000 personal guards. When he arrived, Li Chenfeng had already led his army to attack the grasslands north to raid the tribes under Xue Nie Khan.

    The Tumen tribe has more than 25,000 tribal warriors, plus the 10,000 troops stationed by the Zhao army, for a total of more than 35,000 people.  This time Li Chenfeng went out and took away more than 15,000 good knights.

    After inquiry, we learned that Xue Nie Khan has sent troops to attack many times recently, and several of the tribal soldiers are extremely fierce.  This time, Li Chenfeng was planning to attack the headquarters of these tribes to let them know that there would be no good results if they served Xue Nie Khan.

    "Uncle Li is the same. As the commander of the first army, he still can't calm down!" After learning the situation, Zhao Xun just said to himself lightly.  However, he also knew that Li Chenfeng was a border military captain in the past, and it was common to fight in other places.

    "Give me the order, raise my banner, and let the other party focus their attention here!"

    "Send an order to the sergeants of the first, third, and fourth towns to gather here."

    "Send an order to the first, second, third, and fourth armies of the Imperial Guard in the north of Bingzhou and let them advance to the grassland and attack freely."

    "Send an order to the remaining eight tribes to advance north and attack Xue Nie Khan's army from the flanks. If there are gains, I will not hesitate to reward you!"

    Zhao Xun issued several military orders in succession, all of which contained fierce murderous intent.

    "My Lord, what are you doing?" Zhang Yuanjing said in shock.

    "Since Xue Nie Khan wants to fight with us, then we will fight with him. From the founding of Zhao to this day, have we ever been afraid? The tribes that were annihilated by us will not be known by Fanfan, and his Turkic tribes will also be  one of them."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The Moran tribe is a medium-sized tribe five hundred miles northwest of the Tumen tribe. It has always been famous among tribes thousands of miles away for its strong fighting power.

    The tribe has a population of about 80,000, and is said to have 40,000 string control people.  However, 20,000 warriors among them were recruited by Xue Nie Khan and appeared in Xue Nie Khan's army.

    It was getting dark, and suddenly it started pouring rain.  Lightning flashes and thunder roars, and everything is silent.  The constant dripping raindrops added a chill to the grassland.  The people of the Moran tribe rounded up the cattle and horses early, and then got into the tent to warm themselves over the fire.

    At this moment, a group of men and horses slowly walked out from the surrounding weeds, all wearing the same dark armor and riding equipment.

    The war horse snorted lightly, being drowned by the sound of thunder and rain.  Li Chenfeng stretched out his hand and just patted its head.  The war horse shook his head, shook the rain off his head, and moved forward nimbly.

    In this operation, he led 15,000 people, including 10,000 warriors from the Tumen tribe and 5,000 Zhao soldiers, all of whom were strong and good at riding.  What they have to do is to sneak attack on this tribe and then turn back quietly.

    Seeing that he was about to approach Mo Lan's tribe, Li Chenfeng raised his hand, and the soldiers following him drew their swords in preparation.

    "General Qi, all the ministries are ready!" Several sergeants came to report to Li Chenfeng.

    "Zhentianlei and kerosene, are you ready?"

    "Everything is ready and ready for action!"

    "Okay! Get ready for action!" Behind Li Chenfeng's dark visor, a cold murderous intention suddenly flashed in his eyes that shone with cold light.  He suddenly waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Great Zhao Iron Cavalry!"

    Li Chenfeng's roar was like a thunderbolt. In a thunderstorm night, it actually overwhelmed the sound of the thunderstorm and echoed in the sky.

    "second to none!"

    Five thousand Zhao Jun cavalry roared in unison.

    "The Great Zhao Cavalry!"

    "second to none!"

    Including the warriors of the Tumen tribe, they all looked up to the sky and screamed, spreading their hooves, and their iron hooves waded through the water on the ground, causing a splash of water.

    With the roar that covered up the rolling thunder, the iron cavalry made a rumble in the rainy night and swept towards the Moran tribe's camping area.

    The crackle of thunder, the swipe of rain, and the roarThe iron hooves formed a unique tone in this dark night

    The roar alarmed the people of the Moran tribe. Some people stood up and wanted to check, but did not want to be hit by a black thing.  Immediately, a liquid with a pungent smell suddenly flowed throughout his body.  I saw a group of ghost cavalry that seemed to rush out of hell in the legend, rushing into the camp of the Moran tribe at lightning speed.

    Sheepskin bags filled with kerosene were smashed on the tent one by one, and the kerosene continued to flow out of the cut bags.  Among them, black thunderbolts were also scattered among them.

    follow closely.  The fire sticks were lit one by one, still burning the kerosene.  Although it was raining heavily, the fire oil caught fire.  In an instant, it spread throughout the camp, and the horses were panicked, raising their hooves and neighing non-stop.

    ¡°Rumble¡­¡±

    There were loud noises, and the tents were blown apart. All the members of the Moran tribe were killed on the spot.  And more members of the Moran tribe were shocked by this sudden scene and were stunned on the spot.

    "Fight with me!" Seeing this, Li Chenfeng would not miss this good opportunity, roared loudly, and swung his gun to kill!

    Under the leadership of Li Chenfeng, the army rushed into the crowd of bewildered Moran tribe members, waving their spears and flying knives.  Puffs of blood flew, and the chopped and bloody corpses fell to the ground

    The leader of the Moran tribe heard the noise and immediately summoned his troops.  Rush out of the camp.  "Woooooooooo" the horn sounded in the air. No one expected that the enemy would sneak attack on this rainy night.

    The Turks who gathered in a hurry had not had time to wake up from the chaos and stand firm.

    I saw a black torrent rushing over like breaking waves.  When there were still twenty steps left, the knight on horseback suddenly pulled out two-foot throwing spears from his back and threw them hard.  As soon as some tribal warriors jumped on their horses, they were knocked off the flying horses by throwing spears, and were trampled into pulp by the horse's hooves in the blink of an eye.  In one round of gunfire, at least two hundred people were killed.

    ¡°Rumble¡­¡±

    The leader of the Moran tribe saw with his own eyes that there was a sudden loud noise more than a hundred meters in front of him, and within a few feet of the defense, it was like a sudden thunderstorm, blasting more than a hundred tribal people who had gathered together into pieces.  .  What made him panic was that this thunder-like thing was thrown from the hands of these enemy soldiers
