After the Qin army finished the massacre, Li Yichen ordered the Qin army to pack up all the valuable goods, livestock, horses, etc. in the city.

The Qin army set a fire that spread throughout the Black Stone City, and then the army withdrew from the city. After completing the handover with Hua Xiong's troops who were protecting more than 100,000 young and strong people in Lizhou, Li Yichen personally came to the Yanshan Gold Mine under the leadership of Hua Xiong.

Looking at the dozen warehouses in front of him that were as big as a basketball court, Li Yichen was also a little shocked.

"Is this all the gold extracted from the Yanshan Gold Mine?"

Yang Xin, who was familiar with gold mines, was brought here by Hua Xiong. Hearing Li Yichen's words, Yang Xin said respectfully: "My lord, these warehouses store the gold extracted and refined from the Yanshan Gold Mine. The Yanshan Gold Mine can produce 30,000 taels of gold every day, and the reserves are extremely rich."

"Every six months, the Tatar royal family arranges a large transport team to load gold and transport it to Suiye City. The Yanshan Gold Mine has a high value and has attracted the covetousness of the Bosh Dynasty in the north. The Tatar Dynasty and the Bosh Dynasty fought several wars, and finally determined the ownership of the gold mine."

"Arrange someone to count how much gold is in these warehouses now."

"Yes, my lord!"

Li Yichen stood there, thinking deeply. The Yanshan Gold Mine has rich reserves and its value is so high that it is difficult to estimate. For him, owning this mine will greatly reduce the pressure of summoning heroes in the future.

But Li Yichen also knew that although the Qin army seemed to have successfully captured Black Stone City, it was also isolated. It was too difficult to occupy the Yanshan gold mine on the Tatar territory, not to mention that there was the Bosh Dynasty in the north.

The people of the Western Regions were extremely xenophobic. If the Qin army put a nail in the Western Regions, I am afraid that the two dynasties would join hands to face the outside world.

Both the Tatar Dynasty and the Bosh Dynasty were extremely powerful. There were no less than millions of standing troops in the country, and the government was unified, the power was centralized, and the royal power was outside. Millions of troops rolled in at the command.

It was not the same as the corrupt and disaster-stricken Beiting. At least the current Qin army did not have the ability to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, so even if Li Yichen was tempted by the Yanshan gold mine, it was not something that the current Qin army could get involved in.

After Li Yichen prepared to transport this batch of gold away, he would always pay attention to the movement of the Yanshan gold mine. When they were ready to transport it to the royal city after mining for half a year, he would send cavalry to take away the gold and let the Tatar royal family make wedding clothes for himself.

Although it is very difficult, it is not impossible to operate it.

Two hours later, Yang Xin brought people to report: "My Lord, there are 1.2 million taels of gold stored in the warehouse, which have been melted into 50-tael gold bricks and stored in boxes."

Li Yichen frowned slightly. With the gold output of Yanshan Gold Mine, 1.2 million taels of gold is too little, just more than 10 million taels of silver.

Looking at Li Yichen's expression, Yang Xin explained carefully: "My Lord, the Tatar royal family just transported away the output of the first half of the year more than a month ago, so the current reserves in the warehouse are not high."

Li Yichen nodded and said: "You can withdraw, I will go to see the gold myself."

Yang Xin has led people to concentrate the gold in one of the warehouses, filling up most of the warehouse. Li Yichen walked in, opened the boxes one by one, and recharged the gold into the system.

Instead of spending a lot of manpower to transport it away, it is better to rush into the system directly.

Soon, Li Yichen walked out of the warehouse and told Hua Xiong and others: "Let's go, evacuate from the Tatar territory as soon as possible. Our Qin army has repeatedly slaughtered the people under its rule in the Tatar territory this time, and even killed the royal heirs. If nothing unexpected happens, the Tatar Dynasty's army will soon arrive."

Yang Xin was a little confused. Didn't they want all the gold?

But Li Yichen had already given the order, so everyone had to start evacuating and joined the main force 50 miles east of Black Stone City. Li Yichen ordered people to cut down trees and build tens of thousands of ox carts with the captured green-horned cattle. The spoils of this time and the rescued people were loaded on ox carts and quickly moved towards the direction of Anxi Pass.

These captured young and strong men were a little shaky when they walked because they had been subjected to inhuman abuse and labor for many days. If they walked, it would take a long time to return to Lizhou.

Just as the Qin army was evacuating urgently, the Tatar King Tuoba Lingfeng, who was in Suiye City, also received the news that Black Stone City had fallen and Tuoba Tianhong had died.

The Qin army's move was undoubtedly a direct slap in the face of the Tatar royal family. As one of the two overlords in the Western Regions, when had the Tatar Dynasty suffered such a great defeat?

.

In the palace of Suiye City, Tuoba Lingfeng gave orders with a gloomy face: "Immediately send Marshal Mudada to lead the two legions of Yanchi and Kunshan with 400,000 troops to chase the Qin army from Kunshan City. It is imperative to annihilate the Qin army that invaded our Tatar territory."

"Also send Tuoba Qinghan to lead 80,000 Qinglong troops to quickly set out from Qinglong City to intercept the Qin army and prevent it from evacuating smoothly."

After Tuoba Lingfeng pondered for a moment, he ordered again: "Immediately send a message to the Bosh Dynasty to let the Bosh Dynasty send a large army to assist our Tatars to keep the Qin army. This king is willing to pay 20% of the output of the Yanshan gold mine as a reward."

"Yes! Your Majesty, I will arrange it now."

With Tuoba Lingfeng's order, Mudada, one of the three marshals of the Tatar Dynasty, led two legions and 400,000 elite soldiers from Kunshan City, 700 miles away from Black Stone City, and chased the Qin army all the way.

Kunshan City is not far from Black Stone City. If Tuoba Tianhong had asked for help directly from Kunshan City, then under the defense of the three major legions and the trump card Black Dragon Army, even if the Qin army could take Black Stone City, it would have to pay a very heavy price. However, the arrogant Tuoba Tianhong believed that he could completely deal with the Qin army. It was not until Black Stone City fell completely that Mudoda got the news.

At the same time, the 80,000 people of the Northern Qinglong Legion, which is also one of the Tatar trump cards, rushed towards the Qin army under the leadership of the legion leader Tuoba Qinghan, although Qinglong City is farther away than Kunshan City.

But the 80,000 Qinglong soldiers are all elite cavalry, and the horses have sufficient endurance and explosive power. In just less than two days, they have killed less than 200 miles away from the Qin army.

This Tuoba Qinghan is a woman with extraordinary appearance and heroic spirit. She uses a Qinglong spear and her strength is not inferior to Tuoba Tianhong. The two are known as the two prides of Tatar.

Tuoba Qinghan is also a member of the royal family. His father is Tuoba Lingfeng's younger brother. He died in the war with the Bosh Dynasty nine years ago. Tuoba Qinghan took over the position of leader of the Qinglong Army from him.

Over the years, Tuoba Qinghan, who is as brave as a man, has made great contributions to the Tatars. The Qinglong Spear made the Bosh Dynasty fear her like a tiger.
