Swallow City, is the later Zhangjiakou Zhangbei County, where the grassland is vast, more vast than the later Zhangbei grassland.

Swallow City, outside the plug.

Nowadays, the outer Great Wall mainly refers to the Great Wall of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Great Wall of the Sui Dynasty, but although the Sui Dynasty repaired the Great Wall seven times, it did not repair the Great Wall of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Zhangjiakou area. Second, the mountains and mountains in the Zhangjiakou area are not fortified, and there is really only one official road in Yehuling that can move the army.

Ten miles north of the Wild Fox Ridge Fortress is Swallow City.

Swallow City is called Huaihuang Town in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is an important town in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but later the famous six towns in the north rioted, this city was destroyed in one fell swoop, Liao Taizong repaired the swallow city here, belonging to Wuzhou (Naturalized Prefecture), that is, the current Baoan Town.

Swallow City is mainly to settle the migrated Bohai people, that is, the nomadic herding of the Sumo Ya, with tens of thousands of Bohai people being resettled here, while maintaining 3,000 Bohai Navy in the Wuding Army.

Lu Ning dealt with them, and at that time he encountered two hundred Bohai archers, and their leader Nihan who was captured was the son of Da Rong of the Bohai tribe.

The Dianqian Army and the Shenwu Army attacked the four states of Xinzhou, but the Bohai Navy did not sell their lives much, and when they saw that the general trend had gone, they fled back to the northern grasslands.

The leader Da Rong then also wrote a letter and was willing to surrender to the Qi Kingdom.

I was worried that the Qi army would take advantage of the situation and slaughter Swallow City at that time.

But after all, Swallow City is outside the Saiwai, and the grazing land of the Bohai Sea Department is the Zhangbei grassland of later generations.

Recently, Lu Ning issued an edict asking the Bohai Department to pay tribute to 100 good horses and 900 to each other, and the Bohai Department was silent.

I also know that these tens of thousands of Bohai people are like sandwich biscuits, and they can't be offended at both ends, which angers either Qi and Liao, and I am afraid that it will be the destruction of the whole clan.

We can only wait and see cautiously and survive in the cracks.

Now, the Khitans have no time to take care of him, but he obviously doesn't want to feel the way back, otherwise, if the Qi army is defeated in the end, Darong's tribe will inevitably be slaughtered by the Khitans.

Originally, Lu Ning didn't want to embarrass them anymore, after all, he was not nervous enough that he needed this small tribe to urgently support the horses.

But I didn't want to, but this morning I received a letter for help from Daiei, and the messenger brought a thousand horses, and said that all of them were tribute.

It turned out that it was a White Tatar tribe in the western steppe near the Bohai Sea, and the herdsmen crossed the border in large numbers and entered the Zhangbei grassland pasture.

In fact, this northern grassland pasture was originally a nomadic land of the White Tatars, but during the period of Liao Taizong, these tens of thousands of Bohai people were forcibly relocated, one was to divide and rule the Bohai people, and at the same time to fill the Bohai Navy into the border fortress; Second, it is natural to clamp down on the white Tatars, draw a line for them, and do not come east to graze.

Nowadays, the White Tatar tribe naturally knows that the Liao people have lost the "Fengsheng Prefecture", and the Bohai Department and the Qi people in the south are eye-to-eye, taking the opportunity to invade the grassland that originally belonged to them.

The number of the White Tatar tribes near the Bohai Sea is only thousands, but what Da Rong is afraid of is that the Bai Dadan tribe will attack it in groups when there is a dispute, and the Khitans are still far away, so they can only ask the Qi people for help.

For the Bohai Darong Division, a potential tribe under his own rule, of course, he can't let it fend for itself, Lu Ning simply went on his own trip and really subdued the Darong Division, then, it is a risk to attack the Khitan by going out of the west entrance, but out of the east entrance, you will be much more sure.

It also gave the Khitan a taste of being attacked in the rear, which was very good.

Therefore, the day after meeting Han Derang, Lu Ning led Han Derang, Empress Xiao's master and servant and Zhu Yu Lin Wei, and rode his horse north.

The road is not far, from Baoan Town to Swallow City, dozens of miles away.

Out of the Wild Fox Ridge Fortress, the field of vision is immediately vast, and there are large areas of grassland, but it is the season that gradually withers and yellows.

Da Rong, the leader of the Bohai Sea, led several sons, and they had already greeted each other outside the Yehu Ridge, and they all dismounted at this time.

Nihan, the middle-aged strong man who once led more than 2,000 archers to fight with Lu Ning, and was subdued by Lu Ning on horseback, was full of fear at this time, and he couldn't imagine that the terrifying person who made him have nightmares for a few days turned out to be Qi Tianzi.

Khitan Zhongjing stayed at Yelu Xidi and was shot by him, so what can he do?

Da Rong, but his heart was full of excitement, the Emperor of the Southern People, the legendary noble figure in the splendid flower world, the gold and silver jewelry piled up on the golden luan hall, now led the personal guard out of the fortress, and, to his own tribe, this, where can this start?

Negotiating with Da Rong, Lu Ning handed it over to Han Derang, mainly to draw a pie for Da Rong's department.

If a city is set up near Baoan Town and trades with the grassland tribes, in this way, the Darong Department will become an important distribution point for trade with the southerners, and its department will inevitably benefit greatly.

However, these big cakes can only be counted after the end of the war between Qi and Liao, and the Qi people can still occupy the seven states behind the mountain.

Speaking of which, Lu Ning is not painting cakes, and the location of the market has been thought of, which is near the urban area of Zhangjiakou in the later generations.

Of course, trade with the grassland tribes is mainly to exchange handicrafts for their cattle, sheep and horses, not to mention military supplies, even iron horses, and trade must be banned.

Moreover, if the war with the Khitan is over this time, if the tentacles of your own forces can enter the grassland, it will naturally be another plan.

But in any case, if the Daieibu is the first to join and sincerely help themselves, then he will definitely not treat them badly.

……

Swallow City, that is, the earth city and wooden village, after decades of operation by the Bohai people, it is quite steep, the wooden fence is piled up very high, and the arrow towers are lined up.

When Lu Ning saw it, he thought about the Shenwu Army, because the Shenwu Army had a lot of training in order to uproot this kind of earthen city and wooden village in the Northern and Western Regions.

Lu Ning naturally did not live in the wooden village, not afraid of 10,000 in case, it was not beautiful to be surrounded, he found a slightly higher grass slope with a wide field of vision, and the Bohai Department set up a white tent, the customs of the Darong Department, the giant felt tent that will only be used to entertain the most distinguished guests, from the position of the patriarch of Darong, this tent has never been used.

Originally, Da Rong also wanted to worship a few girls in the clan to serve the Holy Son of Heaven, but seeing that it was Empress Xiao, the Khitan ancestor who was serving the Son of Heaven, she was speechless in her heart, and she didn't dare to mention this stubble, after all, the girls in the clan seemed to be really serving tea and pouring water for the Nanren Emperor, which seemed too vulgar.

The Yulin, on the side of the small river two or three miles away from the grassy slope, were supported by the Bohai people twenty or thirty felt tents, after all, they were the emperor's guards, and each of them was a military attache of the sixth grade.

When Yulin Wei was first established, Yulin Lang was the eighth product, after the war in the seven states behind the mountain, Yulin Lang guarded the meritorious service, thousands of miles into the battle, bloody battles, this pro-guard, collectively upgraded to the sixth product, all added the title of the guard with a knife in front of the palace.

This is a little secret that the emperor himself knows in his heart, when he was a child, he listened to the commentary, and he felt that this name was very popular, and now he has a ticket to guard with a knife in front of the emperor, and it feels very good.
