Chapter 303: Enemy Shadows Outside the Pass

After Xue Pan occupied Yema Village with more than a thousand people, he has developed his own power in Beishan.

He conquered some neighboring small villages and now slowly extended his hand to the Beishan area. In order not to expose his identity, Xue Pan usually only secretly helped the affiliated bandits to capture other villages. Now Yema Village has become the fourth largest force in Beishan.

Hua Kai knew that he should not be impatient to conquer the entire Beishan area. Occupying Beishan depends not only on strength. If the Hua family sent a large army to attack, many bandits would inevitably flee south into the Dongling Mountains. They have known how to deal with Linhu and Donghu for so many years.

If they did so, the Hua family's combat power would only be consumed in Beishan and could not extricate themselves. Therefore, to occupy Beishan, they had to follow the rules of Beishan.

After listening to the explanations of the local leaders on the areas they were responsible for, Yu Jun told everyone a piece of news that made everyone nervous.

"Yesterday, the Qinglong Corps was clearing out the wolf pack outside the pass. They saw Donghu cavalry patrolling 200 miles away from Baoyu Pass. There were about 500 people on the other side. When they saw our soldiers, they withdrew directly without stopping." Yu Jun looked at Hua Kai and said.

"We defeated 5,000 cavalry last year. Now those Donghu cavalry are still doing hard labor in Gaoliu City! Donghu will not let us go easily." Hua Zihuan frowned and said.

The Hua family is still a little weak in the direct confrontation with Donghu. This time Donghu approached Baoyu Pass but did not get close. It must have made sufficient preparations before launching an attack on Gaoliu County. Generally, grassland tribes invaded the Central Plains after September. Donghu is likely to launch an attack on Baoyu Pass this year.

"Haha! Come if you want! After September, the wall of Baoyu Pass will be almost built. Our Qinglong and White Tiger Corps, including the reserve corps, are here. If they come, they will definitely be beaten to a pulp." Hua Zichen said confidently when he heard this.

Everyone in the Hua family was eager to try. The Qinglong Corps had increased its combat power several times in the past year, and everyone wanted to see how powerful the Qinglong Corps was now.

"We still can't be careless. Send more people to patrol the periphery of Baoyu Pass. Xue Pan, you should pay more attention to the situation in Beishan. Maybe Donghu will use Beishan bandits as cannon fodder this time." Hua Kai said.

"Well, I know. I will try my best to hide our people during this period. If the three major forces in Beishan really want to attack Baoyu Pass, then it will be our chance to take Beishan in one fell swoop." Xue Pan said.

Then everyone discussed the affairs of Yiqu State and Wuzhumuqin Tribe. The Yiqu State riots were now being killed by the Qin State's sharp soldiers and retreated step by step. Many grassland tribes were unwilling to be driven away by Qin State, and they were still making the last stand with the Yiqu State family.

The Yiqu State family had lived on this land for thousands of years, and they had the advantages of geographical location and people. Although they were not the opponents of the Qin army, it was not so easy for Qin State to drive them out completely.

The Wujumchin tribe is in high spirits this year. In just half a year, the three tribes that did not obey orders have been conquered by them. Now the chief of Wujumchin is ready to move, and the voice of the entire Great Yuezhi Kingdom to expand outward is getting louder and louder.

"Master, the chief of Wujumchin may not listen to your advice. Now we have handed over the commodity trading rights to Princess Wuren Tuya. Princess Wuren Tuya has a great prestige in the Great Yuezhi Kingdom. She now protects a small part of the tribes in the Great Yuezhi Kingdom. The chief of Wujumchin is very dissatisfied with this. The tribe already knows that the two of them disagree." Erzhuang said to Huakai.

"Did Wuren Tuya say that she needed any help?" Huakai frowned and asked Erzhuang.

"Princess Wuren Tuya said that the Great Yuezhi Kingdom will definitely attack the Small Yuezhi Kingdom this year. The grievances between the two countries have been long, and the chief of Wujumchin will not miss this opportunity." Erzhuang said.

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. Now the time to attack the Small Yuezhi Kingdom is not right. The Great Yuezhi Kingdom will only attract more attention and targeting from its neighbors.

This year, the weather is good and the harvest is good. It is an important time for the Central Plains and the grassland countries to seize the time to restore their strength. Except for the Qin State, all the countries in the Central Plains are quietly developing. Everyone is focusing on food reserves and domestic development.

As allies, the Hua family and the Ujumchin tribe can only give them corresponding reminders at most. As for how things will develop in the end, even the saints cannot predict everything.

As time goes by, the three cities of Gaoliu County are developing rapidly. Hua Kai sees that the family prosperity value is growing every day. The family luck value has increased by more than 4,000 every day. Hua Kai now controls the family luck value to more than 15,000. He has now equipped all members of the Qinglong Reserve Corps with [Gold Silk Soft Armor], which has enabled the Qinglong Corps to achieve all expansion goals.

The Qinglong Reserve Corps has sent 1,000 people to station in Huacheng. They live in the Tianma Field like 300 Qinglong Corps soldiers. They are divided into three groups and Hua Kai will give them one hour of class every three days.

More than 300 members of the Qinglong Corps came here mainly to reduce their karma, while the preparatory group came mainly to improve their loyalty. As long as Hua Kai gave them a lesson every three days, their loyalty and willpower would slowly improve. Every day, Hua Kai could see someone break through the Kaiyuan realm.

By August, although the karma of more than 300 members of the Qinglong Corps had not been completely eliminated, they were no longer affected by karma. More than 80 people broke through the Qi training realm, which made everyone cherish their current study life.

The breakthrough of another captain of the Qi training realm was instantly spread throughout the Tianma Field. The next day, Hua Zichen passed the news to the Qinglong Corps. Many people couldn't wait to have their names on the list of those going to Huacheng to study next time.

At noon that day, Hua Kai had just finished teaching the preparatory group and was eating lunch with everyone in the cafeteria.

All canteens in the school area provide various meats and spiritual rice every day. Hua Kai selected some captains from the reserve group to be responsible. Everyone eats and trains together. Seeing all the students line up and leave neatly after eating, Hua Kai feels that the school he held is a high-level military school.

At this time, Hua Xing walked in from outside the canteen and sat next to Hua Kai. Hua Kai quickly finished the spiritual rice in the bowl. Now with the accumulation of spiritual rice in the Hua family, eating spiritual rice has become the norm in the whole Huacheng. When more than 2,000 acres of spiritual rice are harvested next year, the soldiers and children in the whole Huacheng can eat spiritual rice every day.

"The checkpoints and secret sentry posts have all been built! Half of the houses in the central area have been built according to the drawings, and there is no problem in meeting the living needs of 10,000 people. Do you want to allocate some workers to support [Tianmachang] tomorrow? The merchant group will be back next month. By then, a large number of horses and livestock will arrive, and Tianmachang may not have enough space." Hua Xing said as he sat next to Hua Kai.

"Let's finish building all the canals first! The [Tianma Field] is now almost enough. Only when the canals are built can the vegetation on Pingdingshan become more luxuriant. If the [Tianma Field] can't accommodate them, let them roam outside! It doesn't make much sense for ordinary horses to enter the [Tianma Field]." Hua Kai replied.

Hua Xing nodded. The Hua family built Huacheng on Pingdingshan in just eight months. Although there is no need to build a city wall here, it is not so easy to settle more than 10,000 people and let Huacheng play its role.

"By the way, Grandpa! I have an idea!" Hua Kai suddenly thought of something and said.

"Well, you tell me!" Hua Kai said.

"Grandpa, have you ever entered the [Family Secret Space] trial on horseback? Bringing a horse in can improve the attributes of the warhorse." Hua Kai asked.

"This, you didn't say, we usually don't dare to experiment with the [Family Secret Space]. I always enter the space trial alone at night. Do we want to try it?" Hua Xing asked.

"Well, there are still many strong horses in Tianma Field that can be tested and promoted to steeds, but I can only test five horses a day at most. I need to teach students in [Tianma Field]. If you can also ride horses into the secret space to test horses, then the level of our horses will definitely be quickly improved." Hua Kai said.

The Hua family business group is coming back soon. There will be more horses here in a month. [Family Secret Space] can perfectly cooperate with [Tianma Field] to quickly improve the level of Hua family war horses.

"Okay, when will we try?" Grandpa Hua Xing said without hesitation.

Hua Kai took his grandfather to his own courtyard in Tianma Field, led a strong horse out of the stable, and told his grandfather to try [Physical Training Secret Realm] first. After all, it was the first time for his grandfather to bring a horse into the secret space, and [Physical Training Secret Realm] was the easiest.

Watching his grandfather riding a horse and disappearing in front of him, Hua Kai felt worried. After all, no one had done this before, and Hua Kai did not fully understand [Family Secret Space].

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Hua Kai began to get restless. He walked around outside the stable anxiously. At this time, a figure flashed by, and his grandfather appeared in front of him riding a strong horse. The horse just came out of the space and lay on the ground panting.

Hua Kai hurriedly checked the attributes of the horse, and the physical fitness increased by two points. This shows that the core members of the family can upgrade the horse.

"Grandpa, it's a success!" Hua Kai said happily. This experiment represents a great significance. 11 people in the Hua family can upgrade the horses at once. In this way, Hua Kai can completely make the three trial spaces of [Family Secret Space] non-stop, so at least 300 strong horses can be tested every day, or more than 100 horses, or 40 BMWs can be tested. One horse can complete all the trials in three days. The Hua family can even test all the horses brought back from the grassland this time.

There is just one problem. Only Hua Kai can check the attributes of horses. If he wants family members to be responsible for the horse trials, Hua Kai must mark all the horses early and tell which horses need which trials. But these are not difficult. Hua Kai asked everyone to sort out the horses in the Tianma Field. He drew three colors on the backs of all the horses. Each color represents the three different [secret spaces] that need to be entered. If the horse has completed the trial, he will draw a special symbol on them. It means that the horse has completed the trial and will not be tested again in the future.
