Chapter 488: Returning to the South

In the late winter of the 82nd year of Emperor Yitian, the entire vast sea was frozen for thousands of miles, and the mountains of Yao were also snow-white.

Unlike usual, the lonely deep mountains became lively, and tens of thousands of demon barbarians and Yanzhou slaves were used to develop the valley roads and mountain paths that were opened up like fields, connecting the habitats of all sizes of tribes, and connecting the most important Bailu City, Demon Ape City, Yinshi City, Hailing City, and Beiyuan City, from time to time, there are carriages and horses to transport supplies, traveling between the five cities.

The Demon Ape City, as the ruling center of Yaoshan, was covered with blue-gray city walls. At this time, many monsters were cleaning up the snow on the top of the city. Not far away, a series of slogans came from time to time, but teams of brave men were training on the school field.

Looking further north, next to Beiya Fish Village, thousands of monsters were busy in a small ice pit, transporting the big fish caught in a net to the shore.

Although every winter comes, the barbarians will become in short supply, the Tieya tribe has made ample preparations this year and sent people to guard the fish village early, waiting for the sea water to completely freeze and break it.

Although there were no great demons such as the Demon Ape to help him at this time, he wanted to break the ice layer that was dozens of meters thick. However, as a powerful tribe with a powerful craftsmanship camp, there were always many ways to make many equipment, just to be a little trouble.

The continuous fishing of sea fish not only fills the food gap, but also provides a solid foundation for the rule of the Tieya tribe.

After the Tieya tribe general Tuoba tribe surrounded Hailingyuan, Tie Kun ordered all surrounding tribes to gather in Yaoshan and accept more severe rule. Many tribes were very resistant. After all, they were used to being free and casual, and even giants like the Black Stone Khanate would not restrict their gathering place.

Most tribes were limited to the tense and urgent situation at that time. They were frightened by the force of the Tieya tribe, so they were reluctant to move towards Yaoshan. Despite this, many tribes migrated further away, trying hard to escape from the control of the Tieya tribe.

However, the lack of food and labor in the border was no longer possible. Only the tribes who moved to Yaoshan could rely on the lack of food for fishing to replenish food. Those tribes who wanted to break away from the control of the Tieya tribe would have a very miserable life. When this cold winter passed, I wonder how many tribes could survive.

Tuoba Qi finally led the Tuoba tribe and Kelie tribe 60,000 remaining troops to retreat east of Tonghe, completely ending the battle of Yaoshan. The battle was defeated in this battle. The Tuoba tribe and Kelie tribe did not part ways, but carried out a real integration under the promotion of leaders such as Tuoba Hao, Zuoyang, Tuoba Qi, Zuojiu.

They knew in their hearts that the rise of the Tieya tribe was inevitable, and the Black Yan army was terrifying combat power. The Tuoba tribe and the Kelie tribe could not be truly integrated, and they could not gather all the tribes of the outside. Not to mention facing the Black Stone Khanate, facing the rising Longxiang Army in the south, even facing the Tieya tribe, there was no chance of winning.

*********************************

Cultivating the Yuanshen cannot be accomplished in one day, and it will take a long time. Now that the great event in Yaoshan has been settled, Chen Hai is a little impatient to return to Yuchengling.

Before leaving, Chen Hai specially rushed to the underground palace in the northwest foothills to meet Ning Chan'er.

At present, Chen Hai divided the Yaoshan Underground Palace into three major areas. The Underground Palace on the West Footh is located underground in Bailu Gorge. Before the elite human race and the Kusou completely retreated south, it was temporarily controlled by the Second Battalion of the Tieya Army; the Underground Palace on the North Footh is Ning Chan'er's hidden cultivation place, and each has its own portals.

Ning Chan'er had more than a dozen medicine slaves under her before, and this time she controlled Mutu, Meng Li and more than twenty Wu Man as medicine slaves. At this time, she was wearing iron masks to serve in the underground palace in the northwest foothills. There were also three spirit foxes with extraordinary strength. Ning Chan'er also had a group of real elite troops under her.

Chen Hai was still concerned about Ning Chan'er's stay or not, so he came here to ask clearly before he could leave Yaoshan and return to Hengshan.

"What, are you afraid that I will run away with my alchemy?" Ning Chan'er asked with beautiful eyes.

"..." Chen Hai saw that Ning Chan'er had other intentions, and Ning Chan'er's identity was not revealed at this time, and she was the legitimate daughter of Ning'er, the grandson concubine, and Emperor Yitian, if Emperor Yitian died, Ning and Prince Ying Dan would not be indifferent in Yanmen County. However, he was still unclear about what chaos would happen in Yanjing at this time, and thought that some words were still a little earlier to tell Ning Chan'er.

"If there is any need for alchemy, you and Tie Kun. If the Tieya tribe is lacking, I will send it to you from Hengshan," Chen Hai said, "or maybe you have time to go to Hengshan and meet Su Ling."

"Sister, I will go see you." Ning Chan'er smiled.

"Then let go." Chen Hai stood up and said.

Qi Hanjiang, Grandma He and his friends had already followed Yan Yuan and the Black Yan army to Shouyang Mountain, where there were 100,000 elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of tribes. The slaves were to be resettled. Any very difficult and many great monsters, even the demon ape, the black-horned demon tiger, the black scale cunning, and the green giant wolf, had not yet understood the transformation chapter. It is not convenient to follow Chen Hai and the others south for the time being. They will continue to stay in the underground palace to practice in a subconscious manner, which is also guaranteed that there will be no changes in the situation in Yaoshan.

In the end, Chen Hai, Cang Yi and Yao Wenjin quietly left the Demon Ape City and embarked on the road south.

Cang Yi naturally wanted to fly directly to Yuchengling and Hengshan. He turned back to his true form and took Chen Hai and Yao Wenjin. It only took half a day to fly over the Guanhe eight or nine thousand miles to reach Yuchengling. However, Chen Hai wanted to walk a few more days in the ice and snow south of Yaoshan to get closer to the terrain of Yuchengling and the city.

No matter how urgent the situation in Yanjing is, you are not afraid of delaying for a few days.

Yao Wenjin has recovered to the peak of the Spirit-Bi Ling Realm and can barely keep up with Chen Hai and the others without any help.

The three of them walked and stopped in the snow, and they arrived at Shouyang Mountain in the evening of the fifth day.

Although Shouyang Mountain is named after the mountain, it is only composed of some hills that are more than 100 meters high, with a radius of more than 200 miles. In addition to the too cold temperature and high terrain, there is also arable land that can be reclaimed, which is considered a good place.

Nearly 300,000 families of the remnants of the Heiyan Army were moved here one after another in winter. With several Fengyan airships to help, there was a lot of difficulty. After Yan Yuan led his troops to come south, many simple camps had been built here.

When Chen Hai and others arrived, there had just been a battle in the north of Shouyang Mountain. There was bloody outside a camp, and thousands of monster corpses were lying in a row. Looking closely, there were actually women and children covered with blue scales and short bodies.

Yan Yuan had already received the news that Chen Hai was coming and was greeted at the gate of the camp.

Yao Wenjin asked curiously: "Don't these monsters know that General Yan has 100,000 elite troops, why are they still bringing the elderly, young, women and children to seek death?"

Yan Yuan leaned over and looked at the messy battlefield, and said helplessly: "This is a tribe in the surrounding area. It is said that when Shouyang Mountain was just building a village, they could still be at peace with them. However, as the heavy snow fell, I was afraid that there was insufficient food to survive the winter, so I wanted to come and ask for some. We had worked with the Tieya tribe for several months and had no resistance to the demon barbarians, so they gave it all. But they were too greedy and raised their requirements again and again. The Black Yan Army now had to rely on the Longxiang Camp to overcome the food shortage, and they cut off their food in anger. As a result, they came over, and this should be the last batch. If I had known, I would have just asked someone to sweep them, and it would have made the place bloody, making the women and children in the village nervous for no reason."

Chen Hai and Yao Wenjin sighed after hearing this, but the monster man has always been like this. His own production system is not perfect. When he is short of clothes and food, he just grabs some. When he has no choice, he can only face destruction.

Fortunately, Chen Hai has helped the Tieya tribe establish a fishing and farming system, and it is not easy to lack food; and if there was no disaster of the blood demon invasion, Tie Kun led his clan members to completely build up in Yaoshan, it is probably not until decades that a brand new empire will truly rise by the vast sea.

While talking, a few people came to Yan Yuan's tent.

Yan Yuan knew that the Blood Demon Calamity was about to break out soon, so he would lead his troops to go south again at any time and retreat to the south of Yuchengling, so he did not spend any effort to build a large-scale construction in Shouyang Mountain.

Even his handsome tent is extremely simple.

Under the dim oily light, Yan Yuan explained the situation in Shouyang Mountain to Chen Hai.

The bitter slaves brought back from Hanhai and the family members of the Black Yan Army were as young as 370,000. The most critical issue now is food and grass and clothes to protect the cold.

It’s fine for the elderly, weak, women and children, but it can be harder, but hundreds of thousands of young and strong people still need to maintain basic training, and the food consumed is an astronomical figure.

After the Tong River was frozen, a large amount of supplies was more convenient to transport from Yuchengling, but compared with the consumption of Shouyang City, it was still a bit stretched...

"In addition to gradually arranging the elderly, weak, women and children to go south, Senior Brother Yan can also use cheap things in Shouyang Mountain," Chen Hai said with a frown. "All the tribes that can be controlled by the Tieya tribe have gathered in Yaoshan. Except for this, the tribes from Shouyang Mountain to the west will pose a threat to the transportation channel of the North Line. Senior Brother Yan can lead his troops to sweep it, or supplement the shortage of materials..."

The remnants of the Black Yan Army have established a foothold in Shouyang, and cannot show that they have too much involvement with the Long Xiang Army, especially the Long Xiang Army's resources are not particularly rich at this time. The Black Yan Army needs to use all means to strengthen itself, and plundering the barbarians is also one of the ways.
