Ever since the Zhantu people returned to Mobei, Mobei has fallen into chaos.
The pasture has become a deserted land, and strength has become the criterion for measuring everything, so there is no moment of peace.
Every autumn, the Zhantu people would go south to plunder.
The grassland production in the chaos was seriously damaged, and the southward plundering of property turned into a carnival.
The war with the Yaodong people has never stopped, and Anyun has no energy to deal with the Zhantu people in the north.
In order to restore strength as soon as possible, Xianguzhong took a defensive position on the northern border, relying on strong walls to clear the country to resist the attack of the Tutu people.
Now, after several years of development, Xian Guzhong believes that the opportunity to defeat the Zhantu people in one fell swoop and achieve stability on the northern border has come.
Wu Deli was asked to lead an army of 50,000 people from the land of Old Qin to the north of Yishan, while Bai Zhengru led more people to Shifeng City to resist the Yaodong people and wait for an opportunity to eliminate Gu Chayi's cavalry.
A full moon hangs high in the sky.
Under the moonlight, the small village deep in Yishan looks particularly peaceful.
But the people in the village were not at peace at all.
The news of the Iron Blood Army's arrival filled everyone's hearts with unease.
It was dark at night, but Wei Zeng had not yet slept peacefully.
He led several guards to patrol around to prevent the Jagged Army from suddenly launching an attack.
The development of the small village over the past few years has begun to take shape.
Although it is very hidden in the mountains, Wei Zeng still built sentries and gates on the main traffic roads to prevent danger.
Now all these efforts can finally bring a little comfort to the people in the village.
"You guys are exploring around, and no one is allowed to light a fire late at night.
If the enemy discovers the fire, we will suffer a disaster.
The others will follow me to the post at the mountain pass.
As long as there is no problem there, everyone can do it tonight Have a peaceful sleep."
After inspecting all the sentries around the village, Wei Zeng gave some instructions and headed towards the sentry at the mountain pass.
Stepping on the mountain path and following the small trees that had been planted in advance, Wei Zeng arrived at the sentry post at the mountain pass safe and sound, although it was a little dim.
"Is everything okay here at Ye Yuan?"
Wei Zeng said to Ye Yuan who had been staying here for two days.
"A few groups of enemies came over during the day, but no trace of us was found.
Late at night, except for a few bonfires in the distance, there were no accidents.
We are still safe now," Ye Yuan replied.
"Very good, everything here is left to the people I brought here.
You guys have been working hard for a few days.
Go back and have a good rest."
Wei Zeng said.
"This place is very important and there can't be any mistakes.
It's better for me to guard here personally.
Dad, you have a lot to do, so you'd better go back and rest early."
Ye Yuan said.
"Everything is done today, so I will stay here with you all night.
Since the arrival of the Iron-Blooded Army, we, father and son, have not had any intimate conversations.
If we chat, this night will not seem too long.
"Wei Zeng said.
So everyone else took turns, and Wei Zeng chose to stay here and go back tomorrow.
Wei Zeng chatted with Ye Yuan for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't stop yawning, he asked him to go to sleep first.
In the second half of the night, the moon sank to the other side of the mountain, and the entire mountain pass was dark.
The grassland in the distance glowed with a deep dark green under the moonlight.
"What is that black shadow over there?

It seems to be moving.
Can you see clearly?"
Wei Zeng took a closer look and saw that there seemed to be a black shadow moving on the grassland in the distance, but it was very unreal, so he asked the people around him.
"There seem to be a few people.
Could it be that the enemy came to search at night?"
the person next to him replied.
"There is a fire, it looks like someone is robbing.
Who is coming here in the middle of the night?
You continue to guard, I will go down and take a look."
Wei Zeng's heart moved and he decided to go down and investigate.
"Dad, I'll go with you."
Ye Yuan was awakened by the silence.
When he saw Wei Zeng preparing to go down the mountain, he picked up his weapon and followed him.
Dark clouds covered the moon, and everything looked gloomy, but the firelight in the distance seemed particularly dazzling in the dark night.
Wei Zeng and Ye Yuan lurked toward the fire.
In the quiet night, shouts and screams, from small to large, filled the ears of the two people little by little.
When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed a group of Zhantu people chasing several people.
"You dare to commit murder on my Mobei Flying Eagle's territory, are you impatient?"
Wei Zeng saw this without any hesitation.
He immediately raised the steel pole, shouted, and rushed forward to protect the few fleeing people. behind.
When Wei Zeng rushed forward, Ye Yuan also used the firelight to bend his bow and set an arrow to protect Wei Zeng from harm.
"What?
This is the chassis of Mobei Flying Eagle.
What's wrong?
I remembered it.
In the past few years, more than 5,000 people were hunting down escaped slaves.
When they arrived here, they were defeated by Mobei Flying Eagle.
Some people also saw Mobei in winter.
The flying eagle came out to hunt.
We actually caught up here, everyone, run away!"
the man shouted, and then ran away ignoring the others.
When others heard these words, they were also panicked.
At this time, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and it was pitch black in the distance.
Arrows shot out from time to time, and it was unknown how many people were hidden.
One person escaped, and everyone did not want to stay here and ran away.
After scaring off the group of Zhantu people, Wei Zeng walked towards the attacked man.
When an old man saw Wei Zeng approaching, he went up to express his thanks.
"Looking at your attire, you must be from Anyun.
Why did you come here on such a night?
Even the passing merchants would not pass by here."
Wei Zeng asked.
"I am in Xiaguling.
I originally made a living by farming in a small place in the north of Anyun with my family.
However, in the past few years, first the Zhantu people often went south, and then the iron-blooded army went north to attack.
The war was in chaos, and we were too disturbed.

It was so big that I couldn’t live a normal life at all.
I thought that Kansai was very mountainous and there was no war, so I wanted to take my family with me.
We moved to Kansai, but we didn't expect that after walking for a few days, we encountered the Iron Blood Army's Northern Expedition.
We didn't want to get into any trouble, so we hid during the day and took advantage of the night.
"I didn't expect to encounter unexpected disasters."
After Ku Ling finished speaking, he looked at his family members who were dead or injured and couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you want to go to Guanxi?
Then you are taking the wrong road.
If you follow this road, you will only reach the depths of Mobei.
A hundred miles to the south is the boundary of Guanxi."
Wei Zeng said.
"So, we have been on the wrong road for so many days.
Now we are attacked by the Zhantu people again.
Everything has been robbed and burned.
There is really no way out from now on."
Ku Ling said sadly and indignantly.
"If you just want to make a living, it won't be difficult.
It's just that these are troubled times, and I really don't dare to trust outsiders rashly.
If you believe me, stay in a place in the mountains first, and I can give you Something that will allow you to survive.
After the Iron Blood Army retreats, there is no problem if you want to continue to Kansai or join us," Wei Zeng said.
"Do you suspect that we are spies sent by the Iron Blood Army?
Is it true that my relatives were harmed like this by the Zhantu people?"
Gu Ling said angrily when he saw Wei Zeng doubting him.
"Sorry, I can't take any risks.
The Jagged Army is coming for me this time, and I can't ruin a piece of paradise just because of a little negligence.
If you don't want to come with me, there is some money here, take it.
Here we are.
Where there are people, you can probably buy some useful things."
Wei Zeng took out a wallet from his pocket and handed it to Gu Ling, then greeted Ye Yuan to leave.
"I just want to survive with my family in troubled times.
Isn't this impossible?
General Wei, please stay.
Your Excellency is also a hero.
You won't embarrass us little people.
I am willing to take my family with you.
Please allow us to tidy up."
Ku Ling thought for a moment and understood how people could not bow their heads under the eaves.
Looking at his family members who were attacked by the Zhantu people, he had no choice but to accept Wei Zeng's suggestion.
"Dad, they are so pitiful, why can't they be brought directly to the village?
Only by working together can we create a better life."
Ye Yuan said somewhat puzzled.
"In normal times, we can take them back directly, but now that the enemy is facing us, we can't trust any outsiders.
Even people who look kind and pitiful.
People's hearts are sinister and we have to guard against them.
But I will do my best.

I will try my best to help them survive, which is also the promise I made back then."
Wei Zeng replied.
In the silent night, Ye Yuan stepped forward to help these people heal the injured and bury the dead.
Wei Zeng stood aside motionless, sometimes looking at the people in the dark night, sometimes closing his eyes and listening to the sounds in the distance.
Like a sheepdog, quietly guarding his flock.
When the fire dimmed, Wei Zeng led a few people into Yishan.
At dawn, they arrived at a mountainous plain a few miles away from the village.
"I will send someone over to help you build a house, and I will also bring you some daily necessities.
You can plant some things in the open space in front, and it will not be a problem to feed a few of you.
Before the Jagged Army retreats, you can only rely on You are on your own."
Wei Zeng first asked Ye Yuan to go back to the village to call for help, and then said to Gu Ling's family.
"Thank you, General Wei.
Since we have to live in isolation here from now on, the money will be of no use, so please take it back, General Wei," Ku Ling said.
"There is a place where Zhantu people gather five miles away to the north.
You can use this money to exchange for some useful things.
Without the support of others, your life will be much harder.
You should keep the money.
I still want to say more One sentence, don’t inquire about any information about our village, otherwise I won’t be able to help you anymore,” Wei Zeng said.
"Your Excellency is indeed cautious.
The fact that Mobei Flying Eagle has been able to live safely for so many years is probably inseparable from this caution.
But I can also see that you are sincerely helping us.
This is all that is left of my family now.
A few, I just hope to live well," Ku Ling said helplessly.
"It's not difficult to live, and it's not difficult to live well.
As long as you stay away from disputes and work hard, you can do it.
These people are all your juniors," Wei Zeng said.
"Yes, they are all my juniors.
The older man is my eldest son.
The second son and his daughter-in-law unfortunately died last night.
The boy is my grandson who is already twelve years old, and the girl is my granddaughter.
He is now ten years old."
Ku Ling looked at his relatives who were still alive, with a bit of relief in his eyes, which could barely dilute the sadness of losing his relatives.
"People are suffering in troubled times.
I understand the hardship of losing my parents when I was a child.
Although I am very cautious, I still ask the elders to believe me this time.
As long as you are willing, you can live a good life in the future."
Wei Zeng replied.
Ku Ling nodded, as if his heart felt a little calmer because of Wei Zeng's words.
In the days that followed, Wei Zeng was still wary of the Jagged Army, but took the time to come here to see the fleeing family.
A house was built here, and some crops were planted on several acres of wasteland.
Life was still very difficult, but at least it was a little more peaceful.
It's just that the depths of Yishan are peaceful, but the world outside is never peaceful for a moment.
Especially the fight between the five Yaodong families has added some unstable factors to Yaodong itself, which has never been baptized by war.
Ding Zhuqing only wants hundreds of iron-blooded troops to realize his ambition of being the leader of the world.
In the past few years, they have launched many attacks against the Iron-Blooded Army, but because the four gangs secretly interfered, they all ended in failure.

Ding Zhuqing supported the Gale Group, allowing the Gale Group to gain great power in Guanbei, and attempted to use the Gale Group to prevent the four gangs from expanding to the north of the country.
On the one hand, the land of Xuhuai was given to the four gangs, but it was deliberately divided unevenly in order to provoke a fight between the four gangs.
But Yaodong people are very realistic, so realistic that no one is willing to do stupid things like taking chestnuts from the fire.
The four gangs fight openly and secretly.
They come and go, and they use all kinds of methods.
However, the four gangs have always maintained a "friendly relationship" on the surface, and in the face of the challenge from Dejia Guardhouse, they acted surprisingly unanimously.
The current situation is that Ding Zhuqing can check and balance the four gangs well and maintain the current situation well.
But it is extremely difficult to concentrate all Yaodong's power to carry out foreign wars.
Ding Zhuqing returned to Dejia City, but the worries in his heart did not disappear for a moment.
How to seize power from the four gangs was also a very difficult task.
Just when Ding Zhuqing was in trouble, a piece of news came: the old nine-tailed fox warrior of the Fox Worshiping Sect had passed away.
Several Nine-tailed Fox Warriors who were inextricably related to the Fox Worshiping Sect would go to attend the funeral of the old warrior. funeral.
"These four people have been staying in their respective main circles for several years, and now they can finally get together.
If you don't do anything, let's take this opportunity to catch them all.
The Fox Worship Cult is already in name only, why bother to stay anymore?
This empty shell is deceiving the world, so let the Fox Worship Cult disappear completely from the world."
Ding Zhuqing felt cruel and decided to eradicate the four gangs completely.
After all, a bloody storm is inevitable in the land of Yaodong
