Many of the potential hidden people in the Nier Kingdom have been in the Nier Country for a long time, and some were even born in the Nier Country. Moreover, the hidden people are now undercovers, and naturally there will be no communication between the upper and lower lines.
Some news other than tasks.
So they didn't know that there was a living and dying person in Suzaku, and they didn't know that a living and dying person had ever appeared in Qilin.
They only feel weird, and no one thinks about life or death.
But fortunately, they did their best to explain the strange things of the villagers when reporting.
The person responsible for the hidden secrets of Nier Kingdom is Chen Qi from the Chen Guard, and most of the Chen Guards have participated in the operation of strangulating people alive and dead. Therefore, Chen Qi took a look at the behavior of the villagers mentioned in the report.
Weird, I immediately thought of living or dying.
Chen Qi immediately reported to Jun Chenyuan, and Jun Chenyuan directly sent Chen Qi to Neil Country.
Six days ago, Jun Chenyuan received a secret letter from Chen Qi, confirming that the Neil Kingdom had created at least 20,000 living and dead people, and that these 20,000 living and dead people were heading towards the canyon leading to the Qilin Kingdom.
Coming from the direction.
When Chen Qi came back from delivering the message, he followed those who were alive and dead.
We followed until we reached what the Niel people called the Holy Mountain, which was the one closer to the Niel country among the two huge peaks adjacent to the Qilin Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, Qi Baoer's mind displayed the entire map of the eastern border like a computer.
The great earthquake in the early days of the previous dynasty did not just shake the two giant peaks adjacent to Qilin and Neil out of a large canyon. It also had some impact on the surrounding mountains.
It's just that the overall shape hasn't changed much, what's changed is the inside.
Some were shaken out, with caves extending in all directions, and some were shaken out, and no one knew how many 'passages' there were between the mountains.
Originally, Emperor Qiming asked the Zhao family to take charge of Zhendong Army in order to allow the Zhao family to "provide for their old age". Who would have thought that this would actually create a big problem for the Zhao family.
Many caves at the bottom of the mountains have stored water to form natural underground rivers that are not completely dark. The entrances and exits of these underground rivers extending in all directions are not only located in one country, but also those underground rivers in the peaks of unknown terrain.
It is the best hiding place for Heko.
I've gone too far, come back.
Qi Bao'er 'swiped' the map in his mind, his expression gradually becoming serious, "If a living and dead person really enters the so-called holy mountain, and a living and dead person is not afraid of cold or lack of oxygen, then the holy mountain cannot stop them."
"It's good that they climbed directly from the Seventh Peak to our side. There are several underground passages between the Seventh Peak and the Eighth Peak next door. Some of these passages can even lead directly to the northeast."
The danger of one alive and one dead is that it is dangerous all over its body, from the inside out. Twenty thousand living and one dead are not afraid if they are gathered together. There are many gods and men in Qilin Kingdom who can kill one living and one dead with the help of strange fire.
She is not the only one.
But if those who died alive entered the mountain and dispersed to different places...
Wait, Qi Baoer thought of the port mentioned by Jun Chenyuan just now, "Is the Nier Kingdom coming for our port in Nilguana? Is the one who lives or dies the one who is their vanguard?"
Jun Chenyuan nodded with a cold face, "This is also my guess. You just said that those giant peaks in the east used to be the natural barrier of the Central Plains, but after the earthquake, they have opened countless gaps. Dongguan
Not only is it no longer safe, but it also hides countless dangers.”
"If the living and the dead rush to different places in the east through those gaps, the Zhendong Army will be dispersed."
There is a big problem involved here. There is only one Zhendong Army stationed in the east.
The layers of huge peaks are too confusing. Even the late emperor could not help but relax his vigilance to the east. Those who have paid enough attention to the east have indeed increased their military strength a lot. In the late years of the previous dynasty, there were many who guarded the east.
There were 200,000 former imperial troops, and by the time of the late emperor, the entire Zhendong Army had reached over one million people.
That sounds like a lot, right?
Millions!!!
But if you compare it with the military strength of the other three sides, you can see that the imperial court still paid little attention to the east side.
Taking the north where the Qi Family Army is located, the total number of the Zhenbei Army is 1.1 million, the total number of the Chong Family Army is more than 400,000, and the total number of the Qi Family Army is 560,000.
The total number is nearly two million, which is nearly twice the number of troops in the east.
The total military strength in the south is more than 2.6 million, while the total military strength in the west is relatively small, with nearly 1.9 million.
This is just the army guarding the border gates. There are also city garrison troops in the main cities of each state. Once a war breaks out at the border gates, the garrison troops can be mobilized nearby.
Of course, the same main cities in the east also have city defenders, but the problem is that due to the terrain, the cities in the east are relatively far apart.
Take Xicheng and Fengcheng as examples. Neither Xicheng nor Fengcheng is the main city, nor is Licheng. Instead, the city beyond Licheng is the main city of Xuzhou at the border. The main force of the Xuzhou army is naturally
They are all stationed outside Xicheng. Others like Licheng, Fengcheng and Xicheng only have a small force stationed there.
From such a comparison, we can see that if there is a war in Dongguan, the military strength will be very tight.
Jun Chenyuan noticed this problem and tried his best to increase troops to the east. However, increasing troops is not a trivial matter. It is not something that you, an emperor, can just say and increase immediately.
One is whether it is necessary to increase troops, the other is whether the increase will have counterproductive effects, such as increasing the ambition of the defender, etc., and the other is the cost issue, etc.
Four years have passed since Jun Chenyuan ascended the throne, and less than 100,000 troops have been added to the east.
Qi Baoer looked at Jun Chenyuan with sympathy and had the urge to touch his head.
It's so miserable to be an emperor or something.
She is still so comfortable.
Jun Chenyuan saw the little girl's gloating and self-congratulation hidden under his eyes. He raised his hand angrily and rubbed her hair hard, almost turning her long hair into a chicken coop.
"You're kidding me, right?" The little heartless boy said.
If he hadn't tried his best to block it, all those old officials would have gone to Prince Xian's Mansion this time.
Jun Chenyuan would never tell her these things, as he said before, he just wanted her to be happy and at ease.
Even if she often runs to dangerous places regardless of his wishes, the premise is that she does it voluntarily and is not forced by various reasons.
Qi Bao'er didn't know what he was thinking, so she slapped his paws away dissatisfied, "Stop making trouble, you're going to become a madman."
Fortunately, she usually combs her hair relatively simply, with a bun and a hairpin like a man's. Even if it breaks, she just twists it up and fixes the hairpin, and it's done.
Jun Chenyuan watched the whole process: "..."
He rarely thought of his mother, whose daily life was so exquisite. It took an hour or two just to comb her hair every morning. She often spent an hour or two combing her hair in the morning and got up after taking a nap at noon.
I combed my hair after another one or two.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the mother spent the whole day washing and dressing up.
Jun Chenyuan shook his head, shaking off the now blurry figure.
