Chapter 238

The messenger around Kong Peng sent an order and drove his horse to the next horse thief's camp. Fan Dachun stared at Chen Hai in surprise and doubt.

Fan Dachun is not so stupid. At this time, he really can't tell what the intentions of Chen Hai and Ning chaner are.

They lost their nest and left an empty stronghold in Yequ mountain. Counting the time, if they set off for Yequ mountain at this time, when tens of thousands of troops and horses of the Montenegro coalition army arrived at Yequ mountain, the Hexi troops and horses could just take the first step to occupy the stone city of Yequ Mountain - Fan Dachun could not help wondering whether this was deliberately arranged by Chen Hai and Ning chaner.

"Dong's wife really wants to escape to Yequ mountain. That's good to give us a chance to surround and help," Ning chaner smiled when she came out of the camp and saw fan Dachun's surprise on her face. "Is it difficult for the second leader to think that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can't drain the water around Yequ mountain, and the princess of Yuecheng can still cut her wings and fail to fly?"

At this time, Han wendang and other leaders came in one after another when they heard the news. It was inconvenient to ask fan Dachun's questions. They just wanted everyone to get ready immediately and go to Yequ mountain with the army at any time to surround and catch the princess of Yuecheng. Obviously, Kong Peng and other thieves had given up their previous disputes and decided to seize or surround the princess of Yuecheng first, and then consider the reinforcements of the Western Qiang state.

Once a decision is made, the horse thieves act quickly. Tents and other things are discarded in the meadow, and there is no hurry to pack them up. Dry food, preserved meat, knives, bows and arrows are carried with them. When they are hungry and thirsty, there is horse milk to satisfy their hunger. They lead the horses into the boundless night and gallop away quickly.

Fan Dachun had no intention of competing for merit at this time, and no one came to urge him. More than 400 horse thieves in Yequ mountain delayed their departure until the end. They didn't go out more than a hundred miles, and the sky was already bright.

At this time, he deviated from the line. Fan Dachun ordered everyone to dismount and rest for a while. He also found a stone and sat down to eat meat. He was ready to adjust the direction and catch up with the big army after resting.

Chen Hai weighed the eagle demon iron card, sat down next to fan Dachun, smiled and said, "the second leader, do you think we can eat meat or drink soup even if the Montenegro coalition forces catch the princess of Yuecheng?"

Han wendang waited for the leader of the horse thief to scatter around. I don't know what ghost idea Chen Hai came up with at this time. They all gathered around.

The thieves hated and feared Ning chaner, but they felt pity for Chen Hai, who was also "controlled" by Ning chaner. They gathered around and said, "if you can't eat meat, you can always have a cup of soup."

Ning chaner's vision fell on the eagle demon iron card in Chen Hai's hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She guessed that Chen Hai couldn't do anything. She really rushed to Yequ mountain to be flexible. She smiled strangely, but didn't pierce Chen Hai's mind.

"Three heads of the family, what do you want to do?" fan Dachun was full of vigilance to Chen Hai at this time, and hesitated to stare at the eagle demon token in Chen Hai's hand.

"We hurried to Yequ mountain. Even if we could drink soup, it was very limited," Chen Hai said with a smile, "but the second leader felt that Kong Peng's treasure left in Montenegro was enough for the brothers to have a big meal?"

"...." fan Dachun was almost jumped up when he heard Chen Hai's words. Unexpectedly, Chen Hai was the idea of attacking the black mountain bandit's nest. "You're crazy. Do you know how many soldiers Kong Peng left in Montenegro? With our hands, how can we attack Montenegro?"

"Kong Peng has two thousand soldiers and horses in Montenegro, but Kong Peng has done his best to get things done this time. It's not enough to be afraid of leaving two thousand soldiers and horses, either old or weak or sick," Chen Hai said. "Besides, with this token in hand, do we need to attack Heishan city?"

"Montenegro is 1700 miles away from here. Kong Peng found that we didn't keep up. There was a message from the green scale eagle, which will never give us a chance to sneak attack." fan Dachun shook his head and didn't think Chen Hai's crazy idea was a good idea.

"Kong Peng didn't pay attention to the second leader at all last night, and even the second leader thought my idea was too crazy. Even if Kong Peng found that we didn't keep up, they never thought we were going to his nest," Chen Haiying said with a smile, "Even if the black mountain side is on guard, we'd better not leave. Don't stay here in the West Qiang country. Go west or north to find a place to inhabit water and grass. Is it difficult for the second leader to worry about Yequ mountain?"

"..." hearing Chen Hai's words, fan Dachun was stunned. He thought that Chen Hai had given his possessions accumulated in Yequ mountain to slaves in advance. Even if the Montenegro coalition captured the princess of Yuecheng, it would be a difficult situation in the future. At this time, he could not think of anything to refute Chen Hai.

Han wendang and other thieves, all of whom are brave and reckless. Although they all know that Kong Peng's Black Mountain bandits are not easy to provoke, there is a faint excitement in their faces at this time.

Yes, they all dare to rob the bride of the Western Qiang state and the heavenly daughter of the Dong family in Hexi. Why should they fear the black mountain bandits? Whether they succeed or not, they have to fly away. Why don't they have the opportunity to do a big job?

Although fan Dachun Yu Wei is still there, everyone's life is in Ning chaner's hands at this time. Everyone is excited to look at Ning chaner and wait for the "big master" to make a decision.

"Go to Montenegro," said Ning chaner, waving his whip and licking his bright red sandalwood lips excitedly, "that's interesting!"

Ran Hu knew that there were horse thieves gathering in Songyang lake. They immediately stopped going to avoid bumping into the snare laid by the horse thieves. Their strength was not enough to entangle with a large number of horse thieves in the depths of the vast desert.

The camp city built 23 years ago in Yueya Lake oasis has been damaged for many times. It is not enough to defend. At this time, either run east immediately and withdraw to tieliuling, or you can only find a strong stronghold nearby to defend and wait for reinforcements to come.

When he set out from Hexi, ran Hu studied the horse thief forces in the deep desert on the north wing of the old Western Qiang road. He knew that there was a horse thief in Yequ mountain, with three or four hundred soldiers and horses; The stone stronghold in Yequ mountain is strong enough to hold for a period of time.

The current situation is very clear. If the horse thieves of Yequ mountain are involved in this matter, the elite soldiers and horses should have gathered in Songyang lake. Yequ mountain can only leave a small number of soldiers and horses to defend, so they will have the opportunity to attack Yequ mountain, and then use the stone stronghold of Yequ mountain to resist the invaders.

If the horse thieves of Yequ mountain do not participate in this matter, they do not want to provoke the Western Qiang state and Hexi. They may even persuade the horse thieves of Yequ mountain to take them in and jointly resist the invaders. It is a big deal to give Yequ mountain enough rewards afterwards.

However, when ran Hu and his men arrived at Yequ mountain, they found that the situation of Yequ mountain was completely different from what they had guessed. Yequ mountain bandits poured out three days ago and handed over the stone city to a group of newly released slaves.

Although these slaves shared grain, fields and animals, their joy and excitement had not passed, but this was far from enough to cultivate enough loyalty to the horse thieves. When they saw ran Hu leading his department to escort Dong Ning, a bride of the Western Qiang state, to take refuge in Yequ mountain, they all happily opened the stronghold door and welcomed ran Hu into the stone city.

Ran Hu and others occupied the stone city of Yequ mountain for no reason. There were even more than 2000 slaves waiting for them to beat back the horse thieves, escort them back to their hometown, or really distribute the fields of Yequ mountain to them to settle down here.

Dong Ning, as the legitimate daughter of the Dong family, will marry the young king of the Western Qiang state when he travels to the West. At this time, he has a dual identity.

The slaves of Yequ mountain are either herdsmen and farmers in the Western Qiang state, or business travelers in the Western Qiang state or Yanzhou. They most recognize Dong Ning's dual identity.

The dozens of civilian officials selected by Chen hai to be temporarily responsible for the management of the stone city of Yequ mountain were so excited to see Dong Ning kneeling on the ground that they wanted to tell Dong Ning about their suffering of being robbed to Yequ mountain in recent years.

Dong Ning and ran Hu asked why Yequ mountain looked like this. These ten people couldn't wait to tell them the strange things that had happened these days and the faces of Chen Hai and Ning chaner.

"Chen Hai has arrived at Yequ mountain two days earlier?"

These days, everyone is guessing where Chen Hai went after he left Qintong mountain. Listening to the slaves of Yequ mountain describe the appearance of the new three masters, how can we not guess him?

Besides, Chen Hai's pseudonym in Yequ mountain is "Yao Xing". Although ran Hu can't guess Ning chaner's identity, they also know that they must have a great relationship with Chen Hai if they can take over Yequ mountain stone city so easily today.

Seeing Dong Ning standing at the head of the city like thunder, looking at the distant sand sea, it seems that he wants to find the trace of Chen Hai's dragon from the depths of the vast sand sea. Ran Hu's resentment against Chen Hai is still difficult to be completely eliminated. He said: "Since he knew that a large number of horse thieves wanted to be bad for us, why did he come out early to persuade us to return to Hexi and have to play tricks here? Did he really want the princess to marry into the West Qiang state?"

Ran Hu still didn't want Dong Ning to marry into the Western Qiang state, but he didn't know who could stop it at this time.

Dong Ning was in a complicated mood and struggled. Tan's lips trembled slightly. He didn't know what to say for a long time. He turned into a wordless sigh. He just carried his body and said to ran Hu, "go and prepare for the city defense. The horse thief will come soon."

After ran Hu left, Dong Ning turned around and several tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably. He thought, did he decide not to see him because he had to marry into the Western Qiang state? Did he just return the message from Meiwu castle?

But at this time, Dong Ning doesn't have time to feel too sad. A large number of horse thieves must come to her. She can't stay in the hands of the thieves to guard the humiliation, or watch the hundreds of soldiers escorting her westward lose their lives in foreign countries. She can't go home to reunite with her wife, children and children. She needs to cheer up. The responsibility must not be easily put on ran Hu and them.

Although the vast majority of the more than 2000 slaves were skinny and frail, and had only eaten enough for two days, it was impossible for them to be strong at once, but they also provided indispensable manpower for the defense of the city, and the limited troops under ran Hu could be used together.

After a day, a large group of horse thieves swarmed like locusts, but ran Hu and they were ready for defense in the stone city.

Ran Hu cut down thousands of Populus euphratica trees on the Bank of Yequ lake, either directly piled them up and burned them, or dragged them into the stone city to ensure that the horse thieves could not use local materials outside the city to make siege equipment; at the same time, he also organized slaves to build some simple defensive equipment.

At this time, fan Dachun didn't catch up, but the horse thieves didn't realize how serious the problem was. After all, in the eyes of the thieves, fan Dachun was a traitor and slippery guy. He deliberately procrastinated and didn't catch up in time. He probably didn't want to send his soldiers and horses to participate in the tragic Siege
