Chapter 37: The second march into the desert
From the Simon Kingdom Lao But, the troops stationed in the security line of Seroy are 800,000 in the 25 countries in the south of the desert and 600,000 in the 17 countries in the east of the desert. The remaining troops in the mainland of Seroy are not recorded, and the remaining troops in the country will never be transferred to the desert. The 1.4 million army can fight in the desert.
Seeing Seroy's military figure, he almost scared his chin. No wonder Old Butt couldn't even get in the side of the security line. He also understood what Old Butt's meaning was to report this army. Nonsense, Old Butt's 800,000 troops were still confronting in Monan. He was just a fool and could guess that his opponent was in Shayuan (the geographical location of the 17 countries in Modong).
Old Butt wants him to hold the 600,000 Sairoy regular army of Shayuan. What is the surest of Lao Butt to be able to win the 800,000 army on the other side? This 1.4 million Sairoy regular army is definitely the most elite force in Sairoy in terms of combat power and equipment. If Lao Butt is defeated, then his 350,000 army will be in danger. He must go to the desert to see the situation in person. Although Old Butt is known as Simon's God of War, he will never hand over his life to others.
Xiang is his routine in war and no one can change it. Another thing is that he does not trust Lao Bute very much. If this old man won the 800,000 Sairoy regular army in Monan and did not return to Shayuan, he would have to consider the issue of the retreat. Unless he could defeat Shayuan's 600,000 enemies before Lao Bute, Lao Bute would really be able to cut off his back and stab him when he was fighting against Shayuan's enemies. We must be on guard against one point, at least we should consider the retreat clearly.
It would be useless to think about it no matter how much it is. He could only go to the desert to see the situation and discuss it with Yang Chengyu. Because of Wei Yan's uncertainty in Yuzhou, Baling Pass also had to send troops to defend. This time he went to the desert, he might not be able to come back. He had to be careful of Old Man Yue and had to explain to Shi Jun before leaving.
After thinking about everything, he took people out of Shacheng Pass on the third day. Before leaving, he went to meet Shi Jun and only told Shi Jun one sentence: Keep a close eye on Baling Pass and guard the base camp.

Wang Si had already transported two batches of grain to the desert half a year ago. He also explained to Wang Si that the supply volume this time would be very large, so Wang Siduo would look for camels to escort the supplies. The food in Yuzhou was already self-sufficient, and the grain tax could be restored this year. So he asked Wang Si to directly allocate 6 million stones of grain purchased by the Central Plains to the desert. If it was not enough in the later period, Hu Bin would inform the Beggars' Sect to continue purchasing in the mainland. Anyway, what he meant was that as long as he could buy food, he would never let it go. Even if all the six large warehouses in Yuzhou were filled, he would continue to buy it. Wei Yan's instability had to be prepared in advance, otherwise he would not be a match for the old men in the mainland.
After arriving in half a month, I arrived at the two countries and stayed in the two countries for one day to discuss the tax issue. The kings of the two countries were also very happy and took several small countries around to determine that they accounted for 60% of the income of each country. But he was not an exploiter, and he was very happy. The kings of several small countries were very happy and paid half of the income of the past six months to him. He was also very happy. Several small countries gave him half of the income of half of the income of half a year. Isn’t this saying that the income of several small countries in total is nearly 30 million taels? In fact, this is normal. There are so many countries in the south and east of the desert, and if there are goods to the north of the desert, there are still many supplies late for the passage from the Issan car. This year, 30 million taels are still a small amount.
He didn't want to waste time, so he took his guards to the fourteen stations in Modong the next day. When he passed the fifth station in the middle, he was still resting there for a night. There were also many business travelers staying and resting. At this time, he was sitting on the table in the corner of the hall with four plainclothes guards. He didn't go to the Black Cavalry Base, but he also wanted to see how the traffic of the merchants and travelers at each station was like. At this time, there were still many merchants eating in the hall, but the conversation between the two tables of the business travelers next door attracted his attention.
"Hey! Have you heard of it? Persia and Beisha have been in a fight for a year and a half now." A business trip.
"I heard about it a long time ago. It is said that Persia has added another 500,000 troops last month, and more than 2 million troops fought a tug-of-war with Beisha at various intersections." Another business channel.
"Also, do you remember the last battle between the Black Cavalry and Carter mercenaries in Ukraine? Carter suffered a big loss in Ukraine last time, and now he has increased his troops. Ukraine and small countries around him are stationed in more than 500,000 troops, but I don't know how many troops there are in the west of the Mo River." Another businessman interrupted.
"A friend of mine finished the goods from Moxi. When he came back, he saw hundreds of thousands of black cavalry stationed east of the safety line. It was estimated that the black cavalry would start working with Carter again."
"Didn't the Black Cavalry withdraw to the Fourteen Kingdoms of Modong last time? When did they go out?"
"I don't know, not only the Black Cavalry has passed, but even the Golden Cavalry has passed. I guess Modong will start a war!"
"Ah... a southern expedition of the Northern Sha Empire a hundred years ago directly penetrated thousands of miles north and south of the desert. Since then, the desert has never been quiet again. It has not been enough for hundreds of years. When will it be the end!"
"Who do you know which force the black cavalry suddenly appeared in this desert?"
"I don't know, I have never heard of this Black Desert Knight in the south of the desert for decades."
At this time, a team of business travelers at the entrance of the inn also came over when they heard the conversation here. One of them smiled and said, "Haha! You are ignorant, right? This Black Cavalry of the Desert is the cavalry of the Great Wei Kingdom of the Eastern Empire, and belongs to Liu Yi, the governor of the Great Wei Kingdom of Yuzhou. You have never heard of the Black Cavalry before. That is the war between the Great Wei Empire of the Great Wei Kingdom before. Since the Ukrainian detained a caravan of my Great Wei Kingdom last time, my Great Wei cavalry has really stepped into the desert for the first time, and as soon as I entered the desert, I beat Carter's 300,000 troops and urinated! Hahahaha!"
It turned out that this caravan came from the Great Wei Dynasty, and he was also flattered. Everyone showed their eyes with a headscarf. If they didn't say anything, they really couldn't tell that they were Han people. He wanted to come forward to say hello, but he didn't go, and it would be troublesome to be recognized again afterwards.
When major businessmen heard that the black cavalry was the cavalry of the Eastern Wei Empire, they were also sighing. Does this mean that another great country in the East also wanted to conquer a territory in the desert? In front of the Simon Kingdom, there was a 800,000 army of Simon Kingdom against Roy, and after that, hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Great Wei challenged the Carter Empire, which was really a mess.
After listening to them for more than an hour, the food on the table had already been finished, and after listening, there was no useful news, so I took the guards upstairs to rest.
Those businessmen didn't know that the enemy the Black Knights fought against this time was not Carter, but like Simon's Kingdom, they were all - the Seroy Empire.

After leaving the No. 5 Inn Station, there was no stop along the road, but I went to the Black Cavalry Stations at each Inn. I greeted you with good health, what is the food enough, whether you have enough fresh water, whether you are used to life in the desert, etc. The black cavalry made everyone excited. The Jiedushi ran to the desert to visit them in person. How could he not be excited?
It took more than ten days to arrive at the No. 14 station from No. 5 station. It cannot be said that it is fast, but it is not slow. Unfortunately, I didn’t see Yang Chengyu. After asking the garrison, I found out that Yang Chengyu took the 200,000 black cavalrymen out to fight.
He knew without guessing that it must be Yang Chengyu and Carter again. The No. 14 Post Station left 10,000 Golden Armored Army and 50,000 Black Cavalry to guard the gate, and all the other Black Cavalry were taken to the security line by Yang Chengyu to make an appointment. The 100,000 Western Liao Army of Murong Wudi had not arrived yet, and it would take at least half a month to arrive according to the time. The location he agreed with Murong Wudi was at the No. 14 Post Station. The map had been sent to him, so he was not afraid that Murong Wudi would get lost. Although Modong was big, Murong Wudi could still get lost when there was a map. This only means that this Western Liao general was not worthy of his reputation.
What made him depressed was that Yang Chengyu, a fool, didn't even bring the Golden Armor Army, dared to pick up the more than 500,000 troops of Carter, which was really bold enough. The 200,000 black cavalry had 100,000 and were all recruits. I don't know what this idiot thought. He was also a little worried, so he explained to a division commander named Ji Hu of the Black Cavalry Army and rushed to the safety line overnight. Ji Hu was said to be promoted by Yang Chengyu. In a word: It's a match with Chang Xiong, and it's very special to fight with a fool. It's probably also infected by Chang Xiong, but he just can't think about the problem.
After walking in the central circle for four days, he finally reached the safety line. But strangely, he didn't see where Yang Chengyu's pussy was. The safety line was so big, so he didn't know when he would find it. He and several guards were wearing casual clothes and a big headscarf. He wanted to go to Ukraine to find out the situation first, and he just found a caravan to follow him. Carter's cavalry could be seen everywhere along the way, and he was also wondering. The Carter Empire wouldn't be really fired by himself, right? He hasn't occupied Ukraine yet. What the hell is Carter doing? I really want to fight with him? I don't have much of a bully with you, right? After the young master finished the game, Roy turned around and competed with you Carter. But where did Yang Chengyu's pussy go?
I followed the caravan for a whole morning and went to the neighborhood of Wu Kingdom to ask people before I knew the recent situation in Wu Kingdom. It turned out that Yang Chengyu was making a name for Qin Yuming, and Wu*ridi detained Qin Yuming's medicinal materials again. Fortunately, the goods were detained, but the people were fine. When they entered the city, they were found to belong to the Goddess Kingdom. So the medicinal materials were directly seized, but the people did not enter the city.
He guessed that it was Qin Yuming who returned to the No. 14 post and complained to Yang Chengyu. The girl was so smart that she was dying. Yang Chengyu was an idiot in front of the woman, and she must have brought the army to kill him. Then he felt that his 200,000 army was head-on, and he could not fight Carter's 500,000 army, so he started a roundabout battle. This idiot didn't bring the Golden Armored Army with him, probably to train troops? If he brought the 10,000 army of Golden Armored Army, he could still play with Carter's 500,000 army slowly, for fear of fire from Carter, and then transferring the army from the western Mo to support him.
He really admires Yang Chengyu, who has a good fight and a good training. The question is where to find that thing now? He is about to start fighting with Seroy. Now isn't the time to argue with Carter! Grandma's, Carter is also too bullying people. He always doesn't abide by the rules of the desert and doesn't do a good job with him. I guess the negotiation will not be reached.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "Go back, mobilize troops, the battle with Seroy was postponed. I see that if you, Carter, have a 500,000 army, will not negotiate well, fuck you."
Well, I didn’t look for Yang Chengyu anymore and took people back to Station No. 14 directly.
Chapter completed!
