At this time, the wind and snow suddenly became stronger, falling in flakes and falling on the burning camp.

The intertwining of snow and fire is particularly enchanting. The corpses of war horses and soldiers are burned. The rich fragrance makes people feel nauseous, but it constantly arouses the greedy heart.

Guo Mo hung the big iron gun on the victory hook, jumped off the yellow gelding, and followed Brother Tiemu into the handsome tent.

A whole hour passed...

During this period, only Deputy General Cha'er was called in once and given a jar of wine. The rest of the time, only Guo Mo and Brother Tiemu were there.

No one knows what they said during this hour.

No one dares to ask them, unless the Lord is willing to share it with everyone.

But when Guo Mo came out again, because the wind and snow were a bit heavy, Brother Tiemu gave his beloved fur cloak to Guo Mo to keep out the wind and cold.

Guo Mo was naturally immune to the cold and heat, but he did not disappoint Brother Tiemu. After all, he could let Huang Rong wear it when he brought it back.

Guo Mo took his people away, braving the wind and snow, and left the Mongolian camp overnight.

If so, it can still be called a camp.

Go all the way south, covering more than a hundred miles in one go.

When it was completely bright, the wind and snow had not stopped, and they did not encounter any inhabited place.

"Fourth, have you been to this place before?"

Helpless Guo Mo couldn't help but call his fourth junior brother Feng Ge over.

After all, in the past six months, as the leader of the horse thieves, Feng Ge and the others have wandered around the entire western and northern areas of Xixia and drawn a relatively detailed map.

Feng Ge identified the direction, took out the map he carried with him, and found an experienced scout in the army. After comparing the two, he spoke to Guo Mo.

"Second Senior Brother, go southeast from here for about forty miles before you encounter a small city. If you want to return to Yinzhou, you have to continue walking southeast for another two hundred miles."

As Feng Ge spoke, he outlined it on the map for Guo Mo.

"However, there is a valley sixty miles northwest of Yinzhou City, and only one hundred and eighty miles away from here. It is a simple camp we built two months ago. It can barely accommodate everyone through the winter."

Feng Ge knew that Guo Mo might want to go back to Yinzhou. At the same time, there were now a total of five or six hundred troops. It was not safe to walk in Xixia in such a mighty manner.

"Let's go to the small town ahead to buy some food. The brothers will be stationed five miles outside the city and send thirty people into the city in batches to buy."

Although they were all on horseback, they were still delayed by the wind and snow, and it took them a full hour to reach the vicinity of the small town.

The brothers were all outside, so Guo Mo was naturally embarrassed to go into the city by himself, so he asked Feng Ge to bring thirty people into the city to purchase.

Pasta, meat, dried vegetables, salt, soju, cloth, fur, quilts...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the weather gets cold, everything is needed, and these thirty people want to evacuate this small town.

"Second Senior Brother, it will be good to arrive at the valley station. There are several large caves there, and a strong camp has been set up. There are still more than twenty brothers to guard it."

"Previously, we have stored more than 10,000 kilograms of grain, raised hundreds of sheep, and hundreds of kilograms of pickles..."

Feng Ge took 300 people and was alone outside. It was really difficult for him.

Everyone finally had a hot meal, and the dozen or so people who were seriously injured were bandaged again, and some simple medicinal materials were bought from the small town.

"Elder brother, let Feng Ge and the others take away the injured brother later. I'll leave it to Wan Yankang to go to this muddy water in Xixia for the time being."

Now in the west and north of Xixia, the Xixia Army has the largest number of troops stationed. The total number of troops in each state is sixty or seventy thousand.

Followed by the Mongolian army, the total number also exceeded 40,000. This was the 20,000 cavalry that recently annihilated Subotai, mainly guarding two cities.

Then there are Wan Yankang's "Zhongyong Army" and "Zhongxiao Army", which also number more than 20,000.

What Guo Mo didn't know was that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom had already begun to recruit 20,000 more recruits to send to Wan Yankang.

The emperor of Xixia, after receiving the report of the victory over the Mongolian army Subutai, also learned about the situation of Wanyankang's reinforcements.

With a stroke of his pen, the nameless town was completely given over to Wan Yankang's garrison, and all the Xixia garrison was withdrawn to Yinzhou.

He even allocated a hundred miles of land to Wanyankang and gave Wanyankang 3,000 war horses and some grain and grass.

This is because he wants Wanyankang to lead his army to guard the entrance of Xixia and stand on the way of the Mongolian army heading south to Yinzhou.

Of course Wanyankang was well aware of the "sinister" intentions of the Xixia Emperor.

But in this way, it played into his heart, and he could legitimately take root in Xixia.

Moreover, this place is not too far from Taiyuan City and can be reached by horseback in two days.

As soon as he settled in this unknown town, Wanyankang first asked people to count the local money, food, population, and land, and even directly named the small town "Kangcheng".

Naming it after himself is not only a kind of commemoration, but also expresses his determination to stick to this place.

Wanyankang also received news from the north.

Someone ambushed the remnants of Subotai. The famous Mongolian general Temuge led 10,000 Mongolian cavalry into Xixia. They were attacked by unidentified armed forces. The Mongolian camp was robbed and suffered heavy losses.

According to reports from scouts, when Brother Tiemu returned to Pingzhou City, there were less than 7,000 men and horses, and the previously arrogant Subotai also had his arm broken off.

"Whose troops are these?"

Wanyankang was puzzled and surprised by the fighting power of this group of people.

He had personally experienced the power of the Mongolian cavalry. If he wanted to let Tiemu Ge lose 3,000 men, he would have to pay at least 5,000 men.

If you want to pay the price of 5,000 men and still win the battle, you must have at least 20,000 troops, right?

However, in the entire northern Xixia, where can we find 20,000 armed forces of unknown origin?

Wanyankang had an inexplicable sense of urgency, but fortunately, this group of people was looking for trouble with the Mongolian cavalry, so they were his allies in disguise.

It seems that there will be no large-scale fighting in Xixia this winter, or even next spring.

Wan Yankang came to the same conclusion, so he planned to build the city, or to be precise, expand it.

This "Kancheng" is still too small. He plans to use the current "Kancheng" as the center and expand five miles outward in the four directions of east, west, north and south.

Xixia was at war, and the Jin Kingdom also faced Mongolian pressure, especially in Hebei.

Everyone can see that the Mongolian cavalry that has occupied Changping will definitely launch an attack on Zhongdu after the beginning of spring.

Therefore, people in the entire Jin Kingdom north of the Yellow River were in panic.

Wanyankang took the opportunity to send people to various places to lobby, and even coaxed and deceived the people of Jin to come to "Kangcheng".

After all, Wan Yankang was also responsible for the protection of Hebei North Road, and he took advantage of his position to almost empty out the storage in Taiyuan City.

Especially after receiving the 20,000 new soldiers sent by the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyankang had enough people to allow these new soldiers to immediately devote themselves to the construction of "Kangcheng".

On the occasion of the new year, the outer city walls of the new "Kangcheng" have been built, and even two city gates have been built.

A prosperous new city grew out of time in the Xixia border where the war was suspended.

...

"Haha, 'Kangcheng'? It seems that Wanyan Kang is really planning to take root in Xixia."

On the third day after Guo Mo returned to Yinzhou, he received the news that Wan Yankang had settled in "Kangcheng".

"Guo...Brother Guo, this time the escort lost a total of 213 people, please punish me."

Chen Xuanfeng knelt on one knee, not daring to raise his head to look at Guo Mo's face, feeling guilty.

In addition to Guo Mo and Chen Xuanfeng, Huang Rong and Zhao Chengyu were also present in the room.

"Chengyu, you performed well this time. You were able to command decisively before the battle and took the lead. You lived up to your father's expectations. You are worthy of being a son of the Zhao family!"

Guo Mo ignored Chen Xuanfeng.

Although I knew that Chen Xuanfeng actually did not make a big mistake, after all, he lost more than 200 brothers in the escort army. Those were at least the best soldiers selected from thousands of miles away.

"Sir, Chen Dutong actually did a good job. He killed more than a thousand Mongolian soldiers alone, and two thousand captains. Even Subotai had his left arm cut off...

"

"We'll talk about him later, mind yourself first!"

Guo Mo didn't let Zhao Chengyu finish speaking and interrupted him rudely.

"There is no need to transfer people from Luoyang anymore. 'Tingfeng' has already sent a team of thirty people to settle in Yinzhou City and bought an inn 'Xifeng Tower' in the south of the city."

"Chengyu, you also leave thirty people to guard this courtyard. The other brothers go shopping in Yinzhou City, bring enough food and meat, and go to Fengona Valley to spend the winter."

It is impossible for all the more than two hundred escort troops to enter Yinzhou City, that would be too eye-catching.

"After next spring, let's see how the construction of the 'Cannes City' is progressing, and find a way to send people in. It doesn't need to be many people, just a team of ten."

Now that Wan Yankang is actively preparing, Guo Mo can't be idle.

"Also, let's take a look at Pingzhou. Can you find someone to sneak in? Go to Feng Ge and ask if he has any brothers brought out from the desert. The one who understands Mongolian is the best."

"Take this. I haven't had any tasks in the past few months. Just stay here and improve your martial arts."

Finally, Guo Mo threw a booklet to Zhao Chengyu, which recorded the contents of "Easy Muscles and Forged Bones".

"Thank you, Young Master, thank you Dutong..."

This is a reward for himself. For Zhao Chengyu, no official position or gold and silver treasures are as attractive as these martial arts secrets.

He had learned something from Lu Guanying before, and he felt that he had benefited a lot. This time Guo Mo personally gave him this secret book, and Zhao Chengyu regarded it as a treasure.
