It is almost winter, and the first heavy snowfall in northern Xinjiang has arrived, which is too deep and it is difficult for Liaoma to act.

Thousands of miles southwest, in the area of ​​mountain people, there was already a cold army in the army that had already sent winter clothes. Li Zhi tried every means to get thousands of danks of cotton and distributed them to the residents of the realm for everyone to make winter clothes and quilts.

The winter in the mountainous land is not as cold as the northern border, but it will also snow. Three months of the year are winter, covered in silver, everything is dormant, and the entire land is silent.

Qingming, where Wei Yuan is located, is located in the Wu Realm. It is damp and hot all year round. The advantage is that it can be planted all year round. The disadvantage is that it is full of miasma. In the past, the human army entered the Wu Realm, but it only marched thousands of miles away. Half of the troops were reduced before the battlefield, and 30% died of illness.

After seeing more, Wei Yuan discovered that Qingming seemed to be born specifically for the Witch Realm. Jiamu Shengxuan specifically restrained the poison gas of the Witch Realm, and the speed of converting the heaven and wind and earth water is much faster than that of ordinary world stones. In just half a year, the earth poison will be weakened to the point where the strong human race can barely live, and it will be tolerated by ordinary people in one year.

Now, the heaven and earth transformation in the core of Qingming has been nearly seven years, and the earth poison has been completely transformed into spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy is far more abundant than other realms.

Not to mention anything else, it is only compared with the Qingshui Realm. The Qingshui Realm has been established for two years, but only within ten miles of the boundary stone can there be a clean water source, and it is necessary to further remove poison and purify it through the magic circle before it can be drunk.

The entire clear water boundary has only a few hundred thousand mu of fields, and the output is low, less than 100 kilograms per mu. The reason why the clear water boundary can feed 200,000 troops and 700,000 civilians is actually due to the import of grain from the outside world.

In the winter of the sixth year of Tianqi, Wei Yuan initially sorted out Qingming, with 8 million people and 10 million mu of land. After nearly a year of rest and recuperation, he had no money to store grain and accidentally rotted 50 million kilograms.

The northern border was about to be snowed and frozen, and finally a brief cession was coming. Wei Yuan was able to withdraw from the northern mountain gate. At this time, Wei Yuan had enough soldiers and food, and his eyes finally turned to the five counties, preparing to put the title of the Minister of Military Affairs of the South in practice.

After returning to Qingming from the northern mountain gate, Wei Yuan immediately went to the Military Museum in the Immortal City.

Now that the Military Machine Hall has been expanded, there are two more halls, east and west, and the sand table model set in each hall is different. The central main hall is the area around Qingming that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The first room in the eastern side hall has been replaced by the terrain of the five counties at this time.

When Wei Yuan walked into the Military Hall, all the cultivators of the Taichu Palace who had already been notified had arrived.

The five counties on the sand table are of different colors, and the directions are generally four counties lined up next to Zhao State, and Xiangrong County is located behind the four counties. Hanyang County, including Hanyang Pass, and adjacent Huangping County are the second of the eight counties in Ningxi, and are both the Xu family's sphere of influence, so they are marked as dark red. In addition, Xiangrong County is also red.

The colors of each county mean the degree of resistance to Wei Yuan, the southern military minister, recruiting troops and grain. The red means completely rejection, a tough attitude, and no face at all. There have even been some armed conflicts.

Wei Yuan had not sent many people to the five counties before, so Cui Yu only brought a thousand light cavalry and hundreds of young officers who had just graduated from military academies to each county to take over the county defense. This step was quite smooth. After all, the Zhao army was eyeing each other. Although the main battlefield was in the east, hundreds of thousands of troops were also placed opposite the five counties, and it was possible to fight at any time.

Many of the generals of the five counties relied on family relations to go to the border to guard the border to get gilded, but they didn't really want to guard the border. After the Zhao State started the war, half of the border guards disappeared directly as early as the first month. They all started their relationship and transferred to other places, and those who stayed could not leave.

According to the Jin law, generals and local officials have the responsibility to defend the territory, and those who escape in the battle will be killed. If the city is lost and the guardian and the chief officials escape alive, they will be killed. In short, in other words, parents must survive with the land.

So Cui Yu had no resistance to taking over the side defense, but he took over mostly empty military bases, and the soldiers inside were less than 10% of the soldiers. After the generals ran away, many soldiers also ran away.

Wei Yuan's eyes fell on the three counties marked as red, and it was expected that the Xu family and the two counties were difficult to chew. After all, even the King of Jin could only collect 300,000 to 400,000 taels of silver a year.

The third red is Xiangrong County, which is where Wei Yuan is preparing to let Niu Jinbao go to a tough chew. Wei Yuan stretched out his hand to point to the sand table, and all the information about Xiangrong County will automatically appear.

There are nine million residents in Xiangrong County, and the land on the book is six million mu, and the actual land should be more than 12 million mu. The county magistrate of Xiangrong County is called Zhuang Chong, and he is the student of Zuoxiang. He was the second student of Zuoxiang thirty years ago. He became a Dharma figure at the age of fifty. The way to practice Taoism was at a cave heaven academy.

This person is arrogant and stubborn.

In Xiangrong County, the total land under the name of Qingliu Jingguan officials is 8 million mu, accounting for more than half of the entire county. This county is the base camp of Qingliu, and even the aristocratic families have to stand behind.

The information states that Niu Jinbao sent a total of hundreds of people to visit more than 70 wealthy families in the county, demanding investigation of the land and reclaiming grain and military pay.

As a result, most of them were turned away, and more than 20 families had conflicts. Five families directly defeated and took down all the people sent by Niu Jinbao. The documents issued by Wei Yuan with southern military aircraft were torn to pieces on the spot and stepped into mud.

After being beaten, these people were sent to the local government and are still all detained in prison. Niu Jinbao went to ask for people several times, but no one came back. He was almost detained. A total of more than 40 people were detained by the government. His life and death are unknown now.

There are two other big families, Niu Jinbao sent two groups of people, a total of twenty people, but the whereabouts of the two teams were unknown after they left and there was no news again.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan was about to calculate these fates, but suddenly he felt something. The souls of these people had returned and entered the gates of all realms.

Wei Yuan was stunned, then murderous aura flashed across his face and said, "Have Niu Jinbao gone?"

A monk standing at the throne said, "He set out in the morning and should have left the realm now."

Wei Yuan's eyes returned to the map, and then at the junction of Xiangrong County and Huangping County, he said, "The two rivers meet here, and the important roads leading to the three counties pass here, which looks good. Xu Yi, you lead 10,000 people to set out first, and stay here. From now on, this is my southern military camp. I will bring 50,000 people and then arrive."

Xu Yi nodded and said, "I want to cross Hanyang and Huangping counties. What if the Xu family sends people to intercept them?"

"You can open fire, but you have to win if you open fire."

Xu Yi received the order.

Wei Yuan then chose a hidden place three hundred miles away from the Southern Military Camp, and then sent the two elite battalions of the Misty Heaven Gang here to station.

Ten days later, the Qingming army was dispatched and the counties were shocked.

Although Wei Yuan brought not many troops, his military spirit was as strong as that of 300,000 iron cavalry who knew about the troops along the way were silent when they saw it. All the cities of the Xu family counties were closed in four gates, watching Wei Yuan's army pass through.

When Wei Yuan arrived at the southern military camp, Xu Yi had already built a camp that could accommodate 100,000 people here, and arranged hundreds of artillery pieces to defend.

After Wei Yuan entered the camp, hundreds of incarnations of the basic incarnations, several Dharma image incarnations came out of the camp, flew to all directions, and officially harvested the five counties.

Xiangrong County, in front of a large mansion with mountains and water, covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres, suddenly there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and dozens of fully armed cavalry rushed towards the gate of the manor.

The guard of the manor hurriedly brought a dozen servants to greet him. The general in charge sat high and said coldly: "I am a guerrilla general in the Great Jin Dynasty. If you have something to do, you will see your master. Report it quickly, otherwise it will miss the military opportunity and you will have your head!"

The doorman was a wink. Seeing the dozens of cavalrymen with strong horses and murderous auras, they immediately knew that it was not easy to mess with, so they hurriedly sent someone to notify the housekeeper. After a while, the housekeeper came hurriedly, and there was a young man with him.

The young man looked arrogant and said, "A little guerrilla general dares to be so arrogant! You don't even look at what this place. My master is the second son of the county magistrate! The mistress is the daughter of Liu Shilang, the Minister of Revenue in the Central Beijing..."

At this time, the housekeeper saw the knights' armor styles clearly, especially the muskets hanging on the back of the war horses. His face changed and he whispered: "They are the governors of Dingxi."

The young man was just a little arrogant, but when he heard this, he immediately laughed, then looked ferocious and said, "You just sent someone to grab money and food some time ago, and they were all taken down and sent to the government. How dare you come again now? Take it down for me!"

This sound was full of energy, but the hundreds of servants behind him were all dazed and did not dare to move. The young man was furious and was about to happen. The general suddenly swung his whip and whipped the young man in the face!

The whip was whipped very hard, and half of the young man's face was covered in blood and flesh. A big hole appeared in his mouth and a ball of his eyes emerged.

The knights immediately rushed forward and rushed into the courtyard, and knocked down all the hundreds of servants in one round and a trip. The guards in the courtyard were no different from a chicken in front of these heavily armored iron cavalry. Suddenly, the shouts in the courtyard were soaring into the sky, and the crowd scattered in panic.

The general picked up the butler who was about to escape and said coldly: "Where are your master living, take us there!"

The butler was already scared and trembled as if he was sieve. He pointed his hand at the main courtyard, and even said something was unsatisfactory. At this moment, a momentum rose into the sky, and a mighty man took off and shouted in a thunderous voice: "Where did the bastard come from? How dare you act wildly in the house of the dealer?!"

This man looked very good, his muscles were tangled and his veins burst out. His cultivation level in the late stage of the Taoist foundation was released without any concealment, and many servants and maids couldn't even stand up. Three figures rose behind this powerful man, and his appearance was extraordinary, with evil spirits and evil spirits, all of whom had the mid-stage cultivation level of the Taoist foundation.

Wei Yuan's incarnation in the general's armor was too lazy to even look at it, but he waved his hand. The knights immediately raised their guns and aimed at it. In an instant, the gunshots roared, and more than ten flying swords knocked the man into a sieve on the spot!

The big man looked shocked and then fell from the air. The three brothers behind him were full of horror. The knights finally showed their cultivation when they shot, and they were all Taoist foundations!

The three brothers turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Then the knights entered the flock of sheep like tigers, and went all the way to the main courtyard.

A moment later, the gate of the manor opened and several carriages drove out. The carriages were filled with gorgeously dressed masters and mistresses, concubines and ladies. Nearly a hundred knights escorted the carriages and headed towards the southern military camp.

After leaving for about two miles, Wei Yuan ordered ten knights to carry the carriage and continue to move forward, and then said to the remaining knights: "Everyone should change their clothes quickly. This is the first time that our Heifeng Village has been dispatched. We must do it neatly and not leave a treasure."

The knights responded with a loud bang, took out black clothes and black headscarves, and changed them immediately.

Wei Yuan said to one of the knights who were slightly bloated and out of touch with others: "Wenwu, think about the names of several cult bandits, and use them immediately."
