This battle into the barbarians not only allowed Lu Chen to obtain a large amount of gold and silver at one time, but also gave him enough money and food to build ordnance and horses.

And after this battle, it also made the northern land of the Wind Country completely clear of the scourge of the barbarians.

This is the really crucial point, because this is equivalent to pacifying Lu Chen's rear, if it is not for this battle into the barbarians, then Lu Chen in the future, will not be able to lead the army out of Pingyang, which is a page of great significance for Lu Chen.

Three days later, Lu Chen returned to the border city with a huge amount of compensation.

After he returned to the city, he did not pause for a moment, and immediately sent a message from the county government to the imperial court, briefly reporting to the King of the Wind the general course of his army's exit from the customs, and informing Tusi of his intention to make trade on the border between the two countries.

When Lu Chen's recital reached Chen Guang's hands, the latter was entangled in the war in Hedong, and this kind of thing was beneficial to both sides, and it could completely pacify the north, how could Chen Guang not agree, he didn't even discuss it, so he waved his hand and approved.

With the Wind King's permission, the exchange of trade between the border city and Tusi was quickly put on the agenda.

A few days later, the Tusi envoy entered the wind and signed a series of relevant treaties with Lu Chen in the border city and county government, including the border trade tax between the two countries, the standards for the issuance of customs clearance documents, and the basic personal safety protection for merchants of the two countries, and so on.

After the two sides reached an agreement, the border between the two countries soon became lively, at the beginning, the people on this side of the Wind Country still complained about it, thinking that the barbarians were hateful, and the Tusi merchants came here with a large number of goods, and it was often difficult to sell one piece all day long, but with the large number of strange items from Tusi flowing into the counties in the hinterland of the Wind Country, the border city was really hot!

Some bronze objects like Tusi, placed in the country, I am afraid that no one cares, but once they flow into the hinterland of the Wind Country, those powerful people of the Wind Country feel that they are rare, and they can't put it down, but in fact, things that are not worth a penny can often be sold for a very high price.

Under this trend, the merchants in the big cities of the Wind Country have found business opportunities and have flocked to Binh Duong County, exchanging local silk, rouge and other things with Tusi merchants for other daily necessities, and then selling them to other counties at high prices......

For a time, Pingyang County, a desolate place in the north, suddenly became overcrowded, and the streets that usually do not have many pedestrians are now bustling both day and night, with foreigners and locals coming and going, and the sound of selling is endless......

In this hot situation, the local residents of the border cities also began to abandon their opinions, and many of the original residents on both sides of the street started to do business on the spot, and most of the people who did not want to work sold their houses to other businessmen to earn high housing prices.

In just two months, the border city has completely changed, restaurants and brothels have been built one after another, and you can no longer see the embarrassment of wanting to eat a good dish and having nowhere to do it.

At this time, Xue Huairen's internal affairs talent was really brought into full play, and he first suggested to Lu Chen that in order to prevent the swindler from fishing in troubled waters, businessmen from other counties must pay a certain deposit when they come here to do business, and the amount of it is also determined by the size of the business.

Subsequently, he suggested that Lu Chen promulgate a new decree to emphasize agriculture over commerce, and vigorously encourage the people in the county to farm, and for merchants, it is to increase the tax by 30%. But despite this, the benefits of doing business are still very considerable, and the 30% tax has not reduced the merchants here much.

Regarding Xue Huairen's suggestion, Lu Chen almost didn't even consider it, and directly approved it, and in this situation, Pingyang County, which Lu Chen was in charge of, also got a qualitative leap!

Three months flew by.

During this period, Binh Duong County's economy has developed rapidly! Abundant grain production and a dramatic increase in population!

The current Lu Chen, in terms of military power, has no less than 100,000 troops, including 80,000 infantry troops and 20,000 iron cavalry.

In terms of financial resources, it can be said that there is countless money and abundant grain and grass.

In terms of armament, there is no shortage of stone throwers, siege vehicles, guns, halberds, axes, and arrows and shields.

In terms of military strength, half of the officers and men under his command are veterans who have experienced several vicious battles, and there is no need to say much about the combat effectiveness and execution of these people. Even the other half of the county army also followed Lu Chen to fight in the barbarian land at the beginning, and it can be said that these 100,000 soldiers have all been on the battlefield! Although its strength does not seem to be much, if these 100,000 troops are really pulled out to fight, even if the enemy is more than twice as large, I am afraid that it may not be possible to win or lose!

At this time, Lu Chen can be said to want money and money, and food and grain! Both soldiers and horses!

However, at this time, a shocking event happened in the Windy Country!

At this time, the army of Zhang Guo had been fighting for more than a few months. At the beginning, Zhao Yuan, the general of Zhang Guo, commanded 300,000 troops to attack Hedong, and the main general sent by Chen Guang, the king of the wind, for the first time, was a young general named Su Muzhi.

Su Muzhi's age is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, although his father died early, but he is a famous general of the Wind Country, has made countless military exploits, and his family is also a hereditary earl, and Su Muzhi is in the Wind Country, he was awarded the title of General Fenwei, and the official is the same as the second grade.

In the first Hedong War of Fengzhang, Su Muzhi was ordered to go out and lead 200,000 wind troops to meet Zhao Yuan.

Don't look at Su Muzhi's young age, but he has followed his father through several major battles since he was a child, and he was born in a family of famous generals, he has been nurtured since he was a child, and his art of war and strategy are even more comparable.

After Su Muzhi arrived at the Hedong battlefield, he fought with Zhao Yuan four times, losing two times and winning two.

You must know that Zhao Yuan, who is in his forties, is one of the best generals in the Zhang Kingdom, and his reputation is far and wide, even in the entire empire, he is also a general who is classified as a famous general.

Su Muzhi used 200,000 troops against Zhao Yuan's 300,000 army, and he did not fall behind at all, which was already very remarkable.

However, after more than a month of fighting, Zhao Yuan did not attack Hedong for a long time, and Zhang Guo immediately transferred troops from the country, with the general Yu Wenlie as the commander, and once again increased the troops to Hedong by 300,000!

Yu Wenlie, as the general of Zhang Guo, is several grades higher than Zhao Yuan, and when he arrives, Zhao Yuan naturally regards him as the commander.

And after the wind country got the news, Chen Guang immediately became nervous, not only because of Zhang Guo's increase in troops, but more importantly, because the name of his general Yu Wenlie was too big!

In the court, everyone thinks that Su Muzhi is too young, although he can barely fight against Zhao Yuan, but if he wants to fight against Yu Wenlie, he will definitely lose!
