Chapter 164 Entering China
Not long after, Qin Yuan summoned Ma Feiteng, An Yingchen, Liancheng, and many generals from the Northern Qiang lineage.

"This time, the task of the three of you is to lead an army of 20 each to enter the Central Plains and expand the territory."

Qin Yuan said to the three of them. "You can go north to participate in the battle of Luodu by the Heavenly Dao Army, you can go south to confront the King of Southern Jing, or you can go all the way east, pointing directly at Yuzhou in Central Chu, the land of mountains and seas and Qingzhou."

"Of course, Yidu County can also be taken first, as a logistics base, leaving a way out."

"As for food resources, weapons and other issues, Zhuge Xuan will solve them for you. You just need to focus on the battle."

Qin Yuan said. "If you have any questions or needs, you can ask them now."

Ma Feiteng and the others heard that although they were sending troops to fight, it also represented Qin Yuan's trust in them.

After all, the one who can lead an army alone must be a general who attaches great importance to it.

If he didn't trust them, Qin Yuan would only bring them by his side and never give them the chance to lead the army.

"I have no problem. I just need a batch of siege equipment to ensure stable logistics."

Ma Feiteng said.

The land of the Central Plains is no different than the northern grasslands. Basically, it is an important strategic place, either a city or a fortress.

Although the Beiqiang cavalry is strong, it cannot always attack the city. Siege equipment is indispensable, and even a specially trained siege army must be used.

"I am the same as General Ma. I only face the princes from all over the Central Plains. I am afraid that I will meet their innate warriors."

An Yingchen expressed his worries.

In the end, Liancheng did not express any opinions. After all, he had the lowest qualifications among the three, and Ma Feiteng and An Yingchen had already asked the questions that should be asked.

"There is no need to worry about this. I will send an innate warrior to sit in the rear. With the innate covenant of the Taishan Covenant, the enemy's innate warrior will not attack easily."

Qin Yuan thought for a while and said, "In addition, I will send three hundred Tianyi sharpshooters, one hundred Qinglong Imperial Forest Army, and one hundred Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry to each of you three to follow your command and protect your safety at the same time. .”

"Thank you, my lord."

The three of them were immediately grateful when they heard the words.

You must know that although the three special elites only have one hundred each, their strength is beyond ordinary, even in the face of innate warriors, they are not afraid at all.

And with these three hundred special elite units, it will be much easier for them to attack the next city without paying a high price.

As for the innate martial artist Qin Yuan mentioned, everyone was looking forward to it.

"Senior Li, I need to trouble you to make a trip."

Qin Yuan said with a smile.

At this time, outside the hall, an old man walked in, followed by several middle-aged young people.

It looks very ordinary, but it has an aura that cannot be ignored.

Among the many generals of Beiqiang, many have acquired strength, but they still feel threatened.

The same is true for the most powerful Ma Feiteng, and his sense of crisis is even stronger than others.

The person who came was none other than Li Shide who was defeated in the Battle of Liangzhou City, the only family left in Liangzhou City, and the ancestor behind him.

After several months of recuperation, and with Qin Yuan sending some elixirs, Li Shide's injuries have now completely recovered.

As the only innate martial artist in Xiyong Liangzhou, it is naturally impossible for Qin Yuan to let him stay in Liangzhou city.

Either choose to seek refuge with Qin Yuan, or move his family out of Xiyong Liangzhou.

For this choice, Li Jia and Li Shide have already given the answer, otherwise Li Shide would not be here.

It looks like there are two options, but in fact there is only one.

If they do not join Qin Yuan and choose to move out of Xiyong Liangzhou, unless they can guarantee Qin Yuan's power, they will not be able to compete for the world.

Otherwise, the world is so big that there will be no place for the Li family anymore.

As for the Li family staying out of the world and not participating in world affairs, sorry, Qin Yuan didn't have this option in the choice.

Although the Li family is a newly promoted family and cannot affect the entire Liangzhou of Xiyong, Li Shide, an innate warrior, cannot be ignored.

"Don't dare, this is what the old man should do."

Li Shide faced Qin Yuan respectfully. The young man in front of him not only had a high status and powerful power, but also was extremely powerful.

Even Li Shide couldn't figure it out. When they first met, Qin Yuan was only in the acquired state, but now he has far surpassed him and has become the peak innate state.

Therefore, the Li family had no choice but to surrender or die.

"In addition to the old man going out with the army this time, I also want to bring a few younger generations to practice and gain experience together. I hope Master Zhou will agree."

Behind Li Shide, there are six people standing, two middle-aged people and four young people.

It seems that they are all outstanding talents from the Li family.

Since it is impossible to hide from the world, the Li family cannot continue to hibernate. Instead, they must take advantage of the opportunity to make contributions and seek a future for the family.

"Okay, Honshu Mu is approved."

Qin Yuan nodded slightly.

"Meet the lord."

The six Li family members knelt down and worshiped Qin Yuan at the same time.

"This expedition is divided into three armies. This is the commander of the three armies. You can choose one of them."

Qin Yuan pointed at Ma Feiteng and the other three.

Hearing this, Ma Feiteng, An Yingchen, and Biancheng straightened their backs.

Although they have placed people in their army, the troops under their hands are all their 'family members', all Northern Qiang soldiers, so they are not worried about being seized power.

On the contrary, because of accepting these Li family members, they will have a good relationship with Li Shide and gain a lot of benefits.

After all, there is only one innate master, but they have three.

If they are in danger at the same time, the choice of who to help depends entirely on Li Shide.

Qin Yuan also watched quietly, and it turned out that it did not surprise him.

The six Li family members each sent two people to join the tripartite army.

As expected of a family background, he knows how to weigh the pros and cons, even if he is optimistic about one of them, he will not put all his eggs in one basket.

"Okay, I will hold an expedition banquet for you tonight, I hope you will return victorious."

Qin Yuan laughed and said.

At night, a grand banquet was held in the City Lord's Mansion.

The next day, the 60 Northern Qiang army, divided into three groups, departed from Mingwu City and headed for Shangling County.

Although Yidu County has no vassal forces now, it is not Qin Yuan's territory. It must also be captured in order to be used as a logistics base.

And Qin Yuan was not idle either.

On the third day after the Northern Qiang army left, Qin Yuan led several elite troops under his command and went all the way south, entering the territory of Tianchuan and Yizhou.

Qin Yuan's army is not large in number, but it is extremely luxurious.

There were even more than 5 blue wolves and priests of the wolf god accompanying him.

This blue wolf is rebellious and unruly, and it must be commanded by a wolf god priest or a wolf king, or at worst a black wolf emperor cavalry.

Moreover, Qinglang consumes a lot of meat every day, so Qin Yuan naturally won't let them idle, and naturally they have to work after eating meat.

After several days of traveling, Qin Yuan arrived in Wenshan County in Yizhou, Tianchuan.

Today's Wenshan County, although baptized by the flames of war, quickly returned to its original state.

Even after Qin Yuan's forces took over, they moved in a lot of grain that Qin Yuan brought from the main world, and after planting it on a large scale, the problem of food shortage was solved, and the people's life became better and better.

The needs of the common people in feudal society are so simple, as long as they eat well, they will be satisfied.

Therefore, there are so many princes in the Lie Han Dynasty, and the lives of the people of other forces are miserable. Only the people in Qin Yuan's territory live a very good life, even comparable to the prosperity of a hundred years ago.

Even, this news, with the spread of businessmen and tourists, basically the entire land of China knows the living conditions of Liangzhou and Wenshan County in Xiyong, and many people who cannot live well move their families to Liangzhou in Xiyong state.

As for the authenticity, no one will question it.

You know, when Qin Yuan only occupied two counties, he recruited an army of 50, and the logistics were not affected at all. Everyone knows that Qin Yuan's background is so strong, and his war potential is beyond any power.

With Qin Yuan's actions, it naturally attracted the attention of various princes.

Even secretly, the major forces in the Central Plains began to unite to curb Qin Yuan's development just like they did with the Heavenly Dao Army back then.

Otherwise, if Qin Yuan continues to expand like this, there will be no princes who can be Qin Yuan's opponent.

When they arrived in Wenshan City, the family represented by Zong Jiyan warmly welcomed Qin Yuan.

As an aristocratic family and Qin Yuan's in-laws, the Zong family had taken refuge in Qin Yuan before, but its influence became stronger and stronger as Qin Yuan's power grew.

Most importantly, the Zong family put almost all their bets on Qin Yuan.

He gave the entire Wenshan County to Qin Yuan as a dowry, and when facing the crusade by the Yizhou Army, he tried his best to protect the Yizhou Army.

When Meng Tian led his army to attack Tianchuan Yizhou, he provided all resources to meet all needs.

They only stayed in Wenshan City for one night. During the banquet, Qin Yuan gave Zong Jiyan a lot of face, proving to outsiders that it was the most correct choice for the Zong family to join Qin Yuan.

After that, Qin Yuan led the army and went to the front line without stopping.

Today, three counties in the entire Tianchuan Yizhou have fallen into Qin Yuan's hands.

They are Wenshan County, Tianshan County and Wanshan County.

And now the armies of Meng Tian and Bai Qi are gathering at the border of Wanshan County, preparing to attack Chuanshan County.

Nearly 40 troops are stationed in a fortress called Dome.

And ten miles away from the fortress, there is also a fortress with high walls, where the Tianchuan Yizhou army is stationed.

The state herdsman of Tianchuan Yizhou, named Li Qian, is a member of the Li family, one of the three great families in Tianchuan Yizhou.

When the Liehan Dynasty was weak, Li Qian showed his ambition, began to accumulate strength, and gradually integrated the entire Tianchuan Yizhou family.

Li Qian is not only more capable than Yu Benzhi of Xiyong Liangzhou, but also the power of the family behind him is stronger than the entire Yu family.

Behind the Li family, there is a warrior in the innate realm.

He is one of the two innate warriors in Tianchuan and Yizhou.

The other innate warrior was born in the Zhang family, but he was from a powerful family.

The daughter of the Zhang family married Li Qian and became his wife.

It can be said that the interests of the entire Li family and the Zhang family are perfectly combined.

A powerful family, an aristocratic family, and two innate warriors joined forces.

After years of hard work, the entire Tianchuan Yizhou was finally brought under the rule.

Li Qian has been developing quietly and is very low-key. If the clan of Wenshan County had not taken refuge with Qin Yuan, I am afraid that all the princes in the world would not have noticed Li Qian's actions, and he quietly moved Tianchuan Yizhou to Qin Yuan. Take control.

Moreover, in the war in Yidu County, no one from Li Qian's lineage was seen.

Inside the Qiongdi Fortress, Qin Yuan sat on the first seat, looking at the generals below.

The generals, led by Bai Qi and Meng Tian, ​​all came to the field and sat quietly.

"In the past few days, although our army has captured Tianshan County and Wanshan County, it has encountered many obstacles. The enemy has set up numerous checkpoints and fortresses in every important place, which seriously hindered our army's attack. speed."

Meng Tian said calmly, "On average, every time we advance fifteen miles, we have to break through a fortress."

Attacking a fortress is the same as attacking a city. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and even losses are indispensable. It is even more difficult to attack a fortress. Fortresses are specially built for war.

Moreover, even if a fortress is taken down, its effect is far less than that of a city, and even if it is taken down, it is not worth the loss.

Under normal circumstances, when the two sides are fighting, they will not always attack the fortress, but will take a detour or use tricks.

There is no problem in attacking one or two fortresses, but if they keep attacking, they will inevitably cause heavy losses to the army.

What made them helpless the most was that due to the restrictions of the Taishan Covenant, neither Bai Qi nor Meng Tian could make a move.

And the opponent also has two innate warriors, severely restricting their shots, and cannot easily take down the fortress.

If it continues, by the time the attack reaches Yizhou City, there may not be much left of the 40-strong army.

"The ancestors of the Zhang family and the Li family are also the only two innate warriors in Tianchuan Yizhou."

Zhuge Mo said, "It's because of them that it's not easy for Bai Qi and General Meng Tian to take action directly."

To deal with Tianchuan Yizhou, there are too many issues to consider.

It's not as simple as the Northern Qiang people at all, as long as they are strong enough.

For foreigners, no one would say anything even if Qin Yuan did not abide by the Taishan Covenant.

But once Qin Yuan used innate warriors to take action against Tianchuan Yizhou, it would probably trigger a crusade from all the aristocratic families.

Now Qin Yuan is a 'reasonable' expansion site, even if they know that Qin Yuan is powerful, no one can say anything, let alone stop Qin Yuan.

But once Qin Yuan violated the Taishan Covenant, then the innate warriors behind these princes would have a reason to join forces to deal with Qin Yuan. This is where Qin Yuan's headache and fear lie.

After all, no one knows how many innate warriors are behind the Taishan Covenant.

Even if Qin Yuan is now at the pinnacle of innate talent, it is no problem to fight one against three or one against five, but if there are ten or twenty enemies coming, Qin Yuan can't stop him.

At this point, it was only a matter of time to capture China. Qin Yuan did not want to make a mistake at this critical moment.

"Even if we can't use our innate strength, we still have a great chance of winning. This time I brought several special elite units. When we attack the fortress tomorrow, just let them take action."

Qin Yuan said.

This is the purpose of his trip.

Meng Tian's ability to lead troops is not bad, but due to the terrain of Yizhou in Tianchuan and the layers of fortresses set up by the enemy as obstacles, it has become the biggest difficulty at present.

However, with the Azure Dragon Imperial Forest Army led by Qin Yuan, the Tianyi sharpshooter, and the Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry, let alone a fortress, even the walls of a huge city can be easily smashed.

The individual strengths of these three special elites are in the acquired state, but the combined strength is better than innate, and they are not restricted by the Taishan Covenant.

Especially the Tianyi sharpshooter, the arrows shot by each Tianyi sharpshooter are no less than a cannonball, which is perfect for attacking the city.

With Qin Yuan's arrival, all difficulties were easily solved.

Xiyong and Liangzhou have been completely captured. As Qin Yuan's second big state to attack, Tianchuan Yizhou must also be captured quickly, without giving the enemy a chance

Now, the one who should feel the crisis is approaching should be Tianchuan Yizhou side.
