"My lord, Da Gan has 500,000 soldiers and horses from the North led by Marshal Li Zhen at the abandoned Great Wall. It seems that Da Gan does not want to suppress the grassland all at once, or that the current Da Gan no longer has enough soldiers and horses to suppress the grassland. !" Zhang Qingyun took out a very crude map of Daqian and said: "Marshal Li Zhen originally had more than 1.3 million people in his hands. Most of the soldiers did not meet his requirements, and only 500,000 were left. These five The 100,000 troops should be all the troops in the counties close to the grassland!"
"Since the grassland people dare to resist Daqian, it means that they are sure to block Daqian's counterattack. Marshal Li Zhen has 500,000 troops in his hands. It is okay to block the grassland attack, but it is difficult to counterattack!"
Li Xiang looked at the map and said: "It's not about the number of soldiers, but the quality!
The Northland has just experienced the ravages of ferocious beasts and heavy snow. Other areas are fine. Several counties close to the grasslands have been ravaged by ferocious beasts!
Now there is no food and grass in several counties, and all the food and grass are sent from several counties from other places. With an army of 1.3 million, this number consumes an astronomical amount of food every day, and half of them are capable of fighting. Yes!
Marshal Li reduced the army to 500,000 men. When he arrived in the north, he never thought about attacking the grasslands. In other words, the people in the imperial capital never thought about sending a large army northward this year!"
Li Xiang approached the map and said with a smile: "Now it's not just the grasslands that are in chaos in Daqian, the demon tribe in the south and the dragon tribe in the East China Sea should also be making trouble!
The Dragon Clan is okay, but if the Monster Clan makes a move, more than half of Daqian's forces will be sent to the south. Those who deal with the grassland people should be the troops from the northwest, northeast, and north of the Tongtian River.
A large number of garrison troops have been mobilized. Considering the level of turmoil among the various sects in the past few years, they will definitely come out to cause some trouble. If they don't come out to cause some trouble, then they won't be them!"
In recent years, Daqian's suppression of Jianghu has been relaxed, and sects in various regions have become more and more troubled. Top sects such as Xuantian Sect have been freed from the previous suppression by Daqian, and they are eager to strengthen themselves.
In their eyes, the age of great strife is coming soon, and they are eager to become stronger.
Each of the top forces chose the people who made the bets. The princes of the imperial capital were their choices, the grassland people in the north, the demon clan in the south, and the dragon clan in the East China Sea.
These forces are nothing in their eyes. As long as they get the support of Da Qian and their martial arts can suppress these people, they will naturally be able to suppress the other party again.
Another great change between heaven and earth is coming, and the world of spiritual practice will once again return to its heyday.
They are all placing bets!
Of course, Li Xiang didn't know this. He only knew that people from all major sects were looking for a sense of presence. Behind each of the several princes in Kyoto was a large group of forces. Even if they didn't want to fight for anything, the forces behind them were will drive them forward.
"Troubled times are coming!" Li Xiang pointed his finger at the northwest region: "I don't need much, I just need a place to establish myself in the northwest!"
The northwest land is very desolate. If it weren't for the large amount of yuan ores here, few people might go to the northwest land. Their wilderness is connected to the northwest land.
The Xuantian Sect occupies the place with the best mineral quality, the most fertile land, and the best terrain in the northwest. Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall is said to be the place occupied by the Xuantian Sect.
"Lord, do you mean to take advantage of the situation?" Zhang Qingyun asked.
Li Xiang shook his head: "Why are you taking advantage of the situation? Just wait! As long as we become stronger, someone will let us pass. Isn't there too many bandits in Zhao'an in history?"
Zhang Qingyun's eyes lit up: "Lord, you mean to strengthen yourself and wait for the imperial edict to be safe?" Zhang Qingyun's mind turned quickly, thinking that few of the bandits who were edicted had a good end: "Lord, this edict is Ann doesn’t seem to be a good thing!”
Li Xiang patted Zhang Qingyun on the shoulder: "We don't have to leave the Guanwai. Even if we go to the northwest, we only live in the city we built. We still need to get a road leading to the Guanwai!"
There is a huge mountain range between the outside of the Northwest Pass and the northwest land, which is called the Hengduan Mountains. It blocks the outside of the Northwest Pass and the northwest into two worlds. City walls and passes are built in the gaps between the Hengduan Mountains. The entire Hengduan Mountains It's like an extremely long city wall.
This Great Wall blocks the ferocious beasts that want to go south, the sinners outside the pass, and suppresses the Xuantian Sect.
The largest one is the fortress where the Zhao family lives, and the remaining passes are in the hands of various forces in the northwest. If Daqian wants to secure them, they must give them a pass that they can control.
Li Xiang knew very well what kind of place Daqian Emperor was. Before he had absolute strength, he would never go south. If that didn't work, he would establish a Xiliang Kingdom between the two great worlds of the East and the West.
He believed that as long as he worked hard to develop, it would not be difficult to establish a Xiliang Kingdom.
Zhang Qingyun nodded in agreement: "Those who were imprisoned in history left their bases and were unable to resist, and were finally killed. The power in their hands is the most important thing!"
"Lord, in this case, do we have to destroy the Qing Army in advance?" The Qing Army is the biggest opponent outside the Xiliang City Pass. The territory occupied by the Qing Army and the territory of the Xiliang Army are in the sky, and the other is in the sky. On the ground.
The area occupied by the Qing Army has a lot of iron, minerals, and other things, while the area occupied by Xiliang has lakes, trees, and wild animals. It is similar to most areas in Daqian. The only difference may be the temperature.
The population of Qingjun's territory is about 100,000, and the real data may be even less. The population of Qingjun is really very small.
The population of the Xiliang army has exceeded 200,000 and is heading towards 300,000.
Most of these people were young men and women. The old and young were most likely killed on the road, leaving only the young men.
These people are an important labor force. Xiliang City comes from all walks of life. The high amount of food provided in Juhu Camp allows Xiliang City to feed so many people.
Moreover, these people do not just eat free food, they also work, and the rewards they receive from their labor are enough for them to live comfortably in Xiliang.
If you don't want to work, you can also choose to be a soldier. Soldiers eat meat, various grains and the meat of ferocious animals every day to keep them well fed and warmly clothed.
The 10,000 people in the second town of the Seventh Army have already begun to prepare. They know that when Xiliang City will re-select soldiers, the young and middle-aged people in Xiliang City are waiting. The treatment of Xiliang soldiers is really good, they have enough food and clothing. Warm and drink enough.
"Don't worry about the Qing Army. They should be able to withdraw on their own in a few days!"
