Chapter 210: The Visitor

Pingzhou Funing Port, Laolong Mountain, everywhere there are still traces of war, walking in the meantime, from time to time will find that has been beaten by the frost of early winter weeds, still have some flags left in the armor.

After autumn and early winter, the sky makes this old dragon mountain, which was already devastated by the war, seem even more barren, if it were not for the newly built city walls, beacon towers, and corner towers on the mountain range, announcing to the world that this place still belongs to the war.

The closer to Funing Port City, the traces of the war will become more and more obvious, the bluestone pavement has already become potholes, when Liu Feng and the Khitan wolf cavalry army were entangled under the Yijin Pass, Cao Zheng and the wolf cavalry were deviant, and they also fought several times in this Pingzhou Funing Port.

But it seems that the more the war, the more it has stimulated people's motivation, it was a port city that was not very dangerous, but in the hands of Cao Zheng, it has changed a lot, after three months, the current Funing port city has become a strong fortress city.

In addition to the perfect defensive line established on Laolong Mountain, at the port, there are more than a dozen ten-meter-high corner towers, on each corner tower are placed large ballistas, and the sergeants and men with guns in armor stand solemnly.

This city built in the midst of war looks a little rough and even ugly, but its facilities are all for war, and this bloated city that looks extremely rough is strong enough.

In the past half a year, Cao Zheng has just gained a foothold, and now he is an iron cone wedged into the Khitan's waist, which will be the second battlefield of Liu Feng's war with the Khitan, and will also be the advance base for Liu Feng's troops to invade the Khitan.

The whole Funing Port City seems to be a little calm, since Yelushu defeated Yijin Pass, the Khitan wolf cavalry will no longer attack Funing Port, Cao Zheng sent out the sentry cavalry to pay attention to the wolf cavalry coming and going.

But he also knew that Jacob, the Khitan wolf god, was about to lead an army to attack, and it was obvious that Yelushu would not tolerate the existence of Funing Port.

At this moment, in the council hall in the camp, Cao Zheng sat on the main seat, and under the tent, Liu Mou, Lin Ruishan, Sertan, Bian Yang, Li Sen, Tan Ying, etc., and all the generals have now also experienced the test of war.

Cao Zheng's mood at this time was a little complicated, he was in this old Dragon Mountain in Funing Port, and he had fought no less than 100 battles with the wolf cavalry, and the generals under his command had already returned to their hearts, and the sergeants were already the elite of a hundred battles.

But for a long time, it was only a city, almost all the supplies came from the sea, and it was also about to enter winter, and the sea navigation was becoming more and more difficult, Jacob's army had gathered and was marching towards Pingzhou, and the port city of Funing, which they had worked so hard to build, seemed to be finally about to be surrendered.

Although Liu Feng defeated Yelushu outside Yijin Pass, it was far from breaking the Khitan's muscles and bones, but Cao Zhengzhan was in Funing Port in Pingzhou, but the Khitan suffered a lot of losses in the past few months, and Jacob was afraid that he would attack with all his might.

"Everyone!" Cao Zheng pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "The sentry cavalry has reported that Jacob has reorganized 50,000 wolf horses, and he will arrive in Pingzhou City in a few days, and it seems that he is going to raze my Funing Port to the ground!" ”

Hearing Cao Zheng say this, Liu Mu and the others all looked at him, their eyes full of doubt.

"I'm afraid that this time it will be more auspicious, that Jacob is known as the wolf god in the Khitan army, and escaped from the Black Stone Ridge ambush in the hands of Zhou Tieheng and Li Tianfeng, this person should not be underestimated!" Cao Zheng said in a deep voice,

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but fluctuate a little, but after all, they were veterans who had gone through bloody battles, and they didn't panic because of this.

……

Yucheng, since Liu Feng's return, a peaceful, a few days of celebration, so that Liu Feng is a little fluttering, he is quite satisfied with the current situation, in just two or three years, he has accumulated such a powerful force, although he can not confront the wolf horse, or intersect with the Hedong army, but in this northern country, he Liu Feng is also regarded as the number one person.

And the arrival of Xu Fu, a wealthy businessman from Huainan, woke Liu Feng up to the fact that he was not the top military town on this land, and on the land of the south, there were also Southern Tang, Southern Han, Jinghai, Wu Yue, Jingchu, etc.

Obviously, Liu Feng's rise has jumped into the eyes of these people, and they have begun to contact Liu Feng, especially Liu Feng's sea wolf battalion frequently goes to sea, and the Fanyang Mansion maritime fleet is thriving, and it has also made a name for itself in the north, so that several military towns and states along the coast have the intention of cooperating.

However, Cao Zheng's distress letter from Cao Zheng in Funing Port City suddenly woke Liu Feng up, and he threw the battalion of sergeants to Funing Port in Pingzhou, and it had been three months.

Liu Feng will never give up Funing Port easily, this is related to his future strategic arrangements, but at this time, he can't brush the whiskers of the sick tiger of the Khitan too much.

With the efforts of Guo Chongtao, Deng Junliang and others, the Fanyang Mansion Army and the Hedong Army finally implemented the relationship between the various ministries and passes, including some details.

In terms of taxation, Fanyang Province had to pay 10% of the annual tax to the Hedong Army, and in the area controlled by the Hedong Army and Fanyang Province, the two sides traded freely and allowed goods to flow freely.

In particular, for saltpeter, iron ore, sulfur, medicinal materials and other goods, no detention and obstruction shall be allowed, and Fanyang Mansion must provide a certain supply of military armor for the Hedong Army.

In any case, with such a bundle, Guo Wei and Liu Feng will not meet each other for the time being, and the two sides have also set their own development directions, the Hedong Army from north to south, and the Fan Yang Army from south to north.

I don't know if Guo Wei deliberately pushed it, or if Fanyang Mansion became more and more important in Guo Wei's heart, in several key places, Guo Wei and Wei Renpu both made concessions, which did not embarrass Liu Feng too much.

In order to show his sincerity to Guo Wei, Liu Feng also sent fine tiles and porcelain bottles fired in the porcelain kiln, and also gave Guo Wei 300,000 yuan of cement.

Just after Liu Feng settled down a little, the fat man with the round ball, Huainan Xu Fulai, came to the door to ask to see him.

After a simple greeting, Xu Fu made it clear that Nantang wanted to reconcile with Liu Feng, and Xu Fu is now wearing the coat of a messenger, but in fact, he is still doing things about communication.

Liu Feng understands the current situation very well, there are many Han troops in the north, but now the ones who can support the beam are nothing more than him and Guo Wei, and in terms of military strength, in this land, Guo Wei of the Hedong Army is the strongest.

But the war is not only military, political and economic are indispensable, and the literati and maritime merchants of the Southern Tang Dynasty also have some fears about their invisible strength.

Liu Feng saw the somewhat funny fat man talking in front of him, and suddenly thought that the sergeant of his own battalion in Funing Port could not withdraw or enter now.

If your own sea wolf camp is stronger, above the surface of the Bohai Sea, it is your own back garden, let you take what you want, then Funing Port can also be abandoned.
