I can bless thousands of magical powers.

The Crazy Sand Army was a rebel army that rose up between the Western Regions and Daqian five years ago.

In the beginning, the Kuangsha Army was called the Kuangsha Bandits. They were just a group of horse thieves who gathered in the mountains and robbed houses.

But in just a few years, the power of the Kuangsha Army has expanded rapidly, and is currently known as the Sixteen Beacons of War.

The smoke along the way represents the power of the Kuangsha Army's subordinates!
These sixteen armies galloped across a thousand miles of Daqian's western border, coming and going without a trace, plundering the caravans traveling between the Western Regions and Daqian, and harassing counties and tribes, committing numerous crimes.

In the past three years, many caravans of the Tuda tribe have been killed by the Kuangsha Army, causing heavy losses.

The Tuda tribe also launched a revenge operation, inflicting heavy damage to the Kuangsha Army along the way.

However, the revenge of the Kuangsha Army followed.

They assembled eight armies, raided the territory of the Tuda tribe, and killed a large number of the latter's members.

They even once invaded the core area of ​​the tribe.

As a result, a blood feud was formed between the two sides.

Jagade hated the Kuangsha Army even more.

Because his two sons died at each other's hands.

The reason why this great merchant from the Tuda tribe approached Zhang Yuan was that he wanted to join forces with the Xiyuan Daoying to deal with the Kuangsha Army.

Ensure the safety of business routes.

Zhang Yuan certainly knew about the Kuangsha Army, because his predecessor unfortunately died in the fierce battle with the latter, and caused the Xiyuan Road Camp to be half-crippled.

In fact, without this cause and effect, it would not be Zhang Yuan's turn to come to Xiyuan to take over the position of Taoist general.

Speaking of which, he is somewhat connected with the Kuangsha Army!
After listening to Jagad's story, Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "This matter is of great importance, and the strength of Xiyuan Daoying is also very limited, so let me consider this matter."

Although the Xiyuandao Camp received support from the Mo family, it has now restored its full organization.

Moreover, after continuous battles against bandits, this team has been trained.

But the problem is that the Xiyuan Road Camp only has 300 soldiers and 700 auxiliary soldiers, which adds up to only 1,000 soldiers. How can it compare with the 16-route Kuangsha Army?
The most important thing is that these bandits are like weeds. Even if they are cut down, they will grow back quickly.

Very difficult to deal with.

If you want to completely wipe out the Kuangsha Army, you should mobilize Daqian’s elite troops!
It was impossible for Zhang Yuan to drag the Daoying, which he had reorganized with great difficulty, to fight a desperate battle with the Kuangsha Army just because of a few words from Jagade.

"Then I will wait for your news."

Although Jagade was a little disappointed, he also knew that it was unrealistic to get Zhang Yuan to agree all at once.

But he did not take the stack of gold notes that had been given to him when he said goodbye and left.

After the Tuda tribe's merchant left, Zhang Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully and asked Mo Yanchang, "Captain Mo, what do you think of this matter?"

Mo Yanchang thought for a moment and replied, "Sir, this Jagad should be very sincere, but our forces are weak. It is good enough to be able to maintain the peace in Xiyuan County. I am afraid that we will not be able to deal with the Kuangsha Army."

He said it very tactfully, but his opposition was very obvious.

Zhang Yuan nodded and suddenly said, "Collect all the information about the Crazy Sand Army. I want to take a look."

Mo Yanchang was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. Besides, humans have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers are harmful to human hearts. Who knows when the Crazy Sand Army will attack Xiyuan again. We have to be on guard!"

Mo Yanchang was awed.

Two days later, Deputy General Mo Wei returned to Xiyuandao Camp.

When he left, he was accompanied by a small team, and when he returned, he brought back ten carriages full of goods.

Seven of the carriages were loaded with supplies that Mo Wei purchased from Linxian Manor.

Or specialty.

For example, rice, wine, cloth, medicinal materials and so on.

These are the things needed for daily life in the Taoist camp.

Of course, some are sold in Xiyuan City, but the quality of those produced in Shanmen is very different.

The other three carriages were loaded with rewards given to Zhang Yuan by the sect!
Including weapons, armor, elixirs, talismans... worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

Mo Wei also brought back a letter from the ancestor of the Mo family to Zhang Yuan.

There were only three words in the letter - well done!

There is no doubt that the ancestor of the Mo family admired Zhang Yuan very much for what he did after he took office as the general of Xiyuan Dao.

The generous rewards bestowed by these sects must have been the work of this Heavenly Master!
After receiving the reward, Zhang Yuan immediately asked Mo Yanchang to distribute it to all the Taoist soldiers according to their military merits.

He himself did not stay, nor was there any need to stay.

As for the 700 auxiliary soldiers who also contributed, Zhang Yuan took out a large sum of silver and money as rewards.

Everyone has a share!

As a result, the entire Xiyuandao camp cheered and morale reached its peak.

The loyalty of all the Taoist soldiers and auxiliary soldiers to Zhang Yuan reached its maximum!

What surprised Zhang Yuan was that the day after Mo Wei returned to the Taoist camp, the Taoist government actually transferred all the military funds that had been delayed for two months.

But this was also within Zhang Yuan's expectations.

Unless Fei Hongming doesn't want to do this anymore, it is impossible for him to keep delaying the payment of military expenses.

In fact, his attempt to control Zhang Yuan's behavior in this way not only failed to play any role, but also gave Zhang Yuan a handle that was not too small.

With the two sides in a stalemate, Zhang Yuan could easily hold on for a year or two.

Fei Hongming will definitely not last more than three months.

Zhang Yuan thought that the other party would delay for a while to disgust him.

I didn't expect to kneel down so quickly.

He just smiled coldly and said, "Captain Mo, send someone to collect the military expenses for next month."

Does Zhang Yuan need this military expenditure now?

Of course it's not bad.

It's all to slap Fei Hongming in the face!

Mo Yanchang understood what he meant: "I will do it immediately."

In fact, the lieutenant felt that Zhang Yuan was a little too young and hot-headed, and there was no need to make such an ugly scene with Fei Hongming.

But if you think about it carefully, the instigator was Fei Hongming.

What was wrong with Zhang Yuan's counterattack?
If you are serious, you will not teach the other person a lesson, otherwise you will be looked down upon!

As for the military funds that had just been allocated, Zhang Yuan also asked Mo Yanchang to distribute them.

And it was announced that the Taoist camp would be closed for three days.

This made all the Taoist soldiers and auxiliary soldiers very happy.

Now they all have bulging pockets and their desire for consumption has expanded to the extreme.

Those who have families are better off.

After all, I have to take care of the family.

Most of the bachelors can't wait to go out of the camp to have fun and relax.

During the past period of time, they have been constantly fighting within a 300-mile radius of Xiyuan, and they are quite exhausted both physically and mentally.

Zhang Yuan’s order was like a timely rain after a drought!

At the same time, Zhang Yuan also took himself a short vacation.

He refused Mo Wei and others' request to accompany him, changed into a simple set of clothes, and then left the Taoist camp alone. (End of this chapter)
