A small meeting was held in the room where Li Bochen was located, with four participants - Li Bochen, Yang Baoping, Ge Xuanbai, and He Jinyin.
After being told that Li Bochen was that Li Bochen, He Jinyin showed a look of fear on his face that only she and Yang Baoping could understand.
"Lu Ruoya told me at the time that if the strength of the Cang Qingshi family in Zhiyasi was damaged, then they would not have the energy to care about Bai Zuyuan's affairs. I guess she would go there. What do you think about Bai Zuyuan? Do you understand?"
As Li Boxen spoke, he looked at the extremely simple map drawn by Yang Baoping and He Jinyin. Beiyuan is a large plain north of Dangtu Mountain. Further north is Hongshanyuan, where the Rakshasa Royal Court is located. Hongshan was originally surrounded by mountains, but it is said that it is extremely vast, and its area is almost the same as that of the Six Kingdoms. This piece of land is the main settlement area of Rakshasa.
Beyond the Red Mountain Plain is a snowfield criss-crossed by mountains. Except for the far north that the ghost tribe has explored, no one seems to be able to find the ends of the east and west. This land is inhabited by large and small monsters and Xumi tribes, and most of them gather near the Red Mountain Plains, and their respective royal courts move erratically.
"I've heard about this." Yang Baoping said, "The customs of Rakshasa are a bit similar to those in Li Ducheng. The big families stay in Hongshan Plain, but the land outside Hongshan Plain is nominally Rakshasa. It belongs to the royal court, but whoever can cultivate the land will belong to that family - for example, they also think that the land of your six countries is theirs, but it is only temporarily occupied by others."
"So big families will also send people to build cities or camps in some places. If there are still people living there, they have to be their slaves or vassals. Bai Zu was originally in this place." Yang Baoping pointed to the north of the map, "Bai Zu Ancestor refers to the spirit god who brings down the wind and snow, Baizu is the place where the wind and snow originate, and Li Capital City is not this far north."
When the location of "Li Ducheng" was mentioned, He Jinyin glanced at her. It seemed to remind her that she said something she shouldn't have said. Yang Baoping paused and continued: "The Cang Qingshi family has obtained the right to open up Baizuyuan. But this seems to have happened decades ago. It is extremely cold there. It seems that there were originally a few small and medium-sized people. The Rakshasa family, how should I put it, is like, um... useless?"
Li Boxen asked: "Then why does she think Bai Zuyuan is a good place?"
Yang Baoping said: "Maybe it's because it's getting colder. It's getting colder and colder in the north in recent years. So some of the larger Rakshasa families who originally lived in Baizuyuan will move south. Only the small families who really can't move will do so." If it stays there, then there must be a lot of land freed up.”
Li Boxen thought to himself, wondering if what she said about getting colder was related to what the ghost Aslan said about the less and less life in the north. However, Aslan said that the ghost tribe had explored the far north in recent years, indicating that the place where they lived must also be further north.
He asked: "Then what do you think of Bai Zuyuan?"
Yang Baoping thought for a while: "It will take nearly four months to walk from here to Bai Zuyuan if we don't encounter heavy snowstorms like this month. We don't care - it doesn't get colder in the north every year or two." It’s only ten years or a hundred years, but can you do it?”
Li Bochen thinks this is feasible for him.
Just last night, Li Shengyi prayed to him again. He originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but this time Li Shengyi sacrificed Tai Lao and Jiu Yi Zhi Wu, and he was his spiritual master, so his willpower was extremely strong. It's like when you are half asleep and half awake, one thought after another comes and goes in your mind, and you have to ask people to do something. Li Bochen suffered from insomnia for the first time in his life, so he had to go to that world again to listen to what he had to say.
Fortunately, this time he did not continue to express his frightened joy like before, but was reporting on his work.
More than 100,000 monsters that entered the territory of Li State were blocked from exiting south. Although the five kingdoms all had troops stationed in the Li Kingdom, the Sui Kingdom had the largest number of troops due to its favorable geographical location. The Sui army in Li State ran away immediately after hearing about the monster attack. These timid Sui soldiers were stopped by the Wei State border army when they were about to flee to Wei State. In order to save their lives, they had to live between the two countries. The Rat Tail Pass refused to defend.
The monsters gave up after five days of strong attack and began to roam within the Li realm. There are many plains and valleys in the Li Kingdom, the second largest of which is Linxi, which accounts for one-fifth of the entire territory. It is the most densely populated. The only mountain pass that can meet the conditions for the march of the army is the mountain pass strangled by Kendao City. Li Shengyi has been operating in Jiandao City for many years, and because he had to always be on guard against attacks by the garrison of the five countries in the past, this city can be regarded as the most powerful pass south of Dangtu Mountain. After the demonic beast army came here, they took a few glances, turned around and left without even bothering to try - there was still a vast space in Li Realm, and it seemed that they did not need to attack the city before poisoning them all.
The Rakshasa army in the Sui territory had a better life. They occupied the entire territory, and the Sui king fled to the capital of Gao Kingdom. However, the coalition forces of various countries guarded the wild river between Sui and Li, and Rakshasa was unable to cross the river for a while. However, they didn't seem to be in a hurry - the Sui Kingdom also had many prosperous places, which would be enough for them to digest for a long time.
Such a war, which has just begun a few months ago, seems to have entered a stalemate early. There are only two active forces. One is Li Shengyi, who is recruiting refugees and training new troops. On the other side is Sui Buxiu.
After escaping eastward that night, Sui Buxiu did not go south along the Lanjiang River, but returned to the Sui territory. Then he gathered his generals and raised an army. Because he had not yet been knighted, this unit only called itself the "Rebel Army." What no one expected was that this rebel army actually captured Bailu City in the east of the Sui Kingdom with three battles and three victories. To the east of Baicheng was the source of the wild river, densely covered with swamps and jungles. The Rakshasa was extremely unhappy, so he did not With a few soldiers, Sui Buxiu occupied this land.
However, he did not refuse to defend like Li Shengyi, but frequently sent out troops to attack, often achieving gains, and also gained a great reputation. Li Bochen felt strange when he heard this. He understands the fighting power of Rakshasa.
When he faced the Rakshasa in Beiyuan, he fought consecutive battles, but at the riverside it was because of their civil strife and the power of the spiritual gods. Before here, it was because the combat power of these hybrids was almost the same as that of the Rakshasa. If an ordinary Six Nations army fought against Rakshasa in the field, there would be no benefit. How did Sui Buxiu achieve such success with a makeshift army?
A thought came to his mind - could it be because of Sui Wu Jiu?
He never believed that Sui Wujiu was really dead. After introducing the Fearless True Lord into his body, he even suspected that Sui Wujiu really had the luck of the Five-Personal Spiritual Treasure-Collecting True Lord - that night he was full of confidence when he transformed into an illusion of golden light and fought with King Xishan. The subsequent "physical death" seemed extremely unreasonable. He knew he was outmatched but still faced the difficulties... If Sui Wujiu was really this kind of person, he would have been killed by the Sui King.
But he couldn't figure out why Sui Wujiu was really alive and why he had faked his death.
