(Ask for a commuter pass, ask for a commuter pass)

Li Po's voice fell silent, as if he wanted to add strength to his voice.

"Yunnei City doesn't need to be so prosperous, and there is no need for any merchants here, what are their businesses doing, we all know that some people are constantly flattering the Turks, and some are seeking personal benefits from it, let's not talk about those big truths, just talk about our Hengan Town."

"As far as it seems now, Heng'an Town won't get any benefit from it, Han Jing...... Such a border general, the fly camp is a dog, but for the sake of his own wealth, he has already lost the bravery of his ancestors. ”

"As soon as the Turks come, if he can defend it, he can defend it for two days, but with the frequency of his contacts with the Turks, it is a matter of time before he takes refuge in the Turks."

"So, it's a good thing for Ma Yi that he's gone, and we must be different from him."

"Pearl goods, you and I can't look down on them, so why let these little ones dangle in front of you? What kind of famous family, I think most of them have taken care of themselves, we have too many scruples now, once the Turks come, how can we Heng'an Town withstand it, and we can't rely on Yunnei City to defend it? ”

"If you don't make up your mind to rectify it now, hold Yunnei City in your hands, and regret it in the future will be over."

"So I said that what the teacher said makes sense, with these businessmen, as soon as the Turks came, they knew that we were fine, but we were almost the same as blind people, so how could it be done, not to be ruthless, so that the news was completely cut off."

Li Bi listened to it this time, and she was very sure that what she said was indeed the right thing.

After listening, she shook her head slightly, "First, in the second year of the Great Cause, the emperor issued an edict to reduce or exempt commercial taxes. Preferential treatment of business travelers from all over the world, businessmen have prospered since then, and there is no obstruction to the road, if we isolate business travel, I am afraid it will not be successful. ”

"Second, at the end of the winter of the sixth year of the Great Cause. I went north to the grassland, the beginning of the Khan new throne, and did not have any intention of going south, the next year, but also sent tribute to Beijing, begging to marry Princess Yicheng, quite deferential, just like when the Khan of Qimin was there, how can you be so sure. The Turks must go south? ”

"You know, the Turks have been in truce with our Great Sui for more than ten years."

"Third, after all, Yunnei City was once the capital of a country, how can it be easily stationed?"

Li Po laughed after hearing this, "These questions are simple, the emperor is about to lead his troops north, although it is quite close to us, he can't take care of it here." ”

"I heard that Shandong is very fierce. Well, don't talk about that. Just say that the emperor sent troops again, I think it, the emperor drove the expedition in person, the more frustrated he became, the more courageous he became, speaking of the emperor's strategy in Liaodong, we have all seen it. It's a bit of a joke, so I'm really not sure what the outcome of this expedition will be. ”

"Victory, at most. That is, what is the use of taking Liaodong City? Another expedition to Pyongyang? Then the army will not be able to come back this year. ”

"If you lose...... Li Po shook his head and laughed, "If you lose, who can take care of the affairs of our Mayi County, and under the wailing, the emperor will have no time to take care of himself." ”

"So no matter if you win or lose, the Great Sui loses ......"

"Then, the second question is easy to answer, as soon as the Great Sui loses, what's so strange about the Turks taking advantage of the situation to go south?"

"Actually, what you think is not right, what we are facing here is the Turks, whether the Turks come or not, we have to prepare for this, otherwise what's the use of setting up this Heng'an Town?"

"Otherwise, you go and discuss with the county first, well, you let me transfer five hundred horses, and in two months, I will make the business travel here extinct, what do you think?"

Li Bi was immediately bluffed, and said in his heart, you are still serious, you fool people, don't let us fool you too, transfer you 500 horsemen to be robbers, you really want to come out.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh with you, the county has sent a letter, allowing us to act cheaply, since you see that the caravan is not pleasing to the eye, how simple it is, set up cards, collect heavy taxes for military funds, the emperor transfers troops and grain, and increases taxes to the world, it is a matter of course for us to have some taxes."

Li Po gasped twice, this woman has suffered a lot, she has learned to flirt with people, I have spent so much saliva, what a good analysis, it's a pity.

These two fought for a while, half a catty and eight taels, and the idea of yin damage jumped out one after another.

However, those words were not useless at all, and Li Bihu asked suspiciously, "You said that the emperor can still return in vain?" ”

Li Po smiled proudly, and began to work again, "The emperor sent troops this time, it was like being angry, he led the troops, it really didn't work, I was a little strange, there were so many people who were willing to follow him to death." ”

"Well, that's what I said, but I'll tell you, let's just talk about these things, and you can't talk nonsense when you go out."

"Do you need to be reminded of this?"

When the two of them talked about Emperor Yang Guanglai, there was no respect at all, and it was not surprising that Liaodong turned around and almost didn't die in the ice and snow, and he could still be loyal to the emperor, so he was called a ghost.

………………………………

The time quietly entered April, the spring flowers bloomed, and the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Zhuo County, Hebei Province, finally set off again, passing through Yuguan to the north to Liaodong.

Needless to say at the beginning, this battle can be compared with the first time.

It is certain that the number of soldiers will be halved, and it will be a pure dream to form an army of millions again.

Second, the departure is also late, there is no way, the operation of grain and grass is more difficult than last year.

The strategy was almost the same, Laihu'er led the naval army to drive directly to Pyongyang, and Emperor Yang Guang led his troops out of Yuguan.

This time, it was obvious that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had learned many lessons from last year's campaign against Liaodong, and he was no longer in the mood to play games.

The Sui army soon rushed across Liaoshui and besieged Liaodong City.

When he arrived at the city of Liaodong, Emperor Yang Guang immediately divided his troops.

How else to say that he doesn't have the ability to lead troops, when he is a million troops, he doesn't distinguish between life and death.

At this time, there were very few troops, but he divided his troops, so it was destined to be another rather clumsy performance, and almost none of the strategic goals were achieved.

………………………………

In Mayi County in April, the spring breeze is rippling, the grass is green in the flatlands, and the mountains are decorated with a lot of green, and the farmers in the fields have begun to work hard for the year's livelihood.

And when you enter the territory of Yunnei County, you can also see patches of cattle and sheep.

On the post road leading to the county seat of Yunnei, a caravan came in a circle.

Such a scene is very common in Yunnei County, full of shrewd businessmen, fierce knights, and sometimes, you can also be lucky to see beautiful little ladies laughing and singing in the caravan.

This is a magical and ancient trade route, the caravan from the big city of Jinyang, has been on this road for hundreds of years, going to the Xiongnu, Rouran, Turkic and other foreign empires.

Some people will ask, what is outside the fortress, and the merchants will tell you that there is gold and silver, war horses, cattle and sheep, furs, slaves, pearls the size of a goose egg, the golden crown of the king of the Western Regions, and so on.

In this way, as long as you look carefully, not afraid of the wind, cold, rain and snow of the grassland, and the ubiquitous killing machine, then you can always get what you want.

This is a road that has pinned the hopes of countless Jindi merchants, and since ancient times, it has never been as smooth as it is today.

As long as the merchants of Jindi do not want to go to the distant Western Regions, then they will choose the grassland that is closer.

The caravan on the road walked without hurry, revealing a taste of laziness and calmness.

Although it is said that since the emperor's conquest of Goguryeo, there have been more and more bandits in Jin, and caravans have been robbed repeatedly, but it depends on which caravan it is.

This caravan, with the Wang family's business flag, will not have the bold and bold generation, dare to move the caravan a single hair, in Jindi, moved the Taiyuan Wang family's things, it will be the target of the public, don't think about it in the future.

In the rickety carriages of the caravan, Wang Qing was drowsy.

Unlike most of the elegant Wang children, he has a young and strong body, and his rough face is exposed to the wind and sun, which makes him look much older than his actual age.

No way, as the second son in the family, he can't inherit the family business, and he has to run around to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, the second son, which is really an embarrassing title.

In fact, the Wang family's bloodline on his body is already very weak, but as long as he is still surnamed Wang, he is a member of the Wang clan of the big lord.

Because everyone recognizes this.

The carriage shook violently, and Wang Qing's head hit the wall of the carriage, making a bang, and Wang Qing's sleepiness was knocked out in one fell swoop.

He rubbed his head, and instead of blaming the coachman for his carelessness, he lifted the curtain and looked out, wondering if he had ridden his horse to get some air.

But immediately, he dispelled this idea and had already entered the territory of Yunnei County.

Rong Dalang in Yunnei is dead, things are a little abrupt, but it's not a big deal, Han Jing of Hengan Town is gone, and the army of Hengan Town has changed.

Shi Qianqian died, and it was only a matter of time before someone like Rong Dalang died at the hands of others.

It's just that I don't know how big the appetite of those people in Heng'an Town is now, and the Wang family's business banner can't suppress those arrogant soldiers.

However, no matter how big the appetite is over there, the caravan has to go on a trip, because going out of the fortress and dealing with the Turks is an order like the clan rules handed down by the clan, there is no way, if you want to gain a foothold in the north and survive, you can't always stare at a place like Luoyang, Chang'an.

The strength of the Turkic Khanate is not a day or two, maybe that day, like the Xiongnu and Xianbei, will occupy the Central Plains.

It is better to take some risks now and befriend the Turkic magnates than to flatter others when the sword is added in the future, when it will be too late.

Therefore, the Wang family's caravan traveled on the business route, not for the sake of mere goods, but for the family's grand plan.

Once these thoughts arise, Wang Qing is a little uncomfortable, a famous family like the Wang family has a reputation in the Jin land and even in the world, but he has to face the north and wag his tail and beg for mercy, so that the children of the side branches like him feel quite ashamed......
