In July, the fire flowed and the fire traveled westward.

In July, for the Han people near the Great Wall, the spring wheat was already ripe, hanging heavily on the ground, and it was about to be harvested soon. July is also full of joy for the grassland herdsmen, after the sheep and horses have survived the previous long winter, after the spring and summer seasons of fattening, it is now the time when the fattest horses are strongest. On the pastures near Huaihuang Town, the horses chewed grass in their mouths, their heads were shiny, and their cries were powerful. On the nearby hillside, the flock of white flowers rolls over like a white cloud, and the mutton at this time is the most fatty, if you bite into the mouth, the mouth is full of oil drips.

The spring wheat that is about to be harvested from the southern slope, as well as the cattle, sheep and horses all over the mountains, this is the scene that Li Chongjiu, who has just returned to Huaihuang Town from Feihu County, has seen. As soon as Li Chongjiu's cavalry arrived, Liu Yi, Zhou Xu, Ji Chuan, and the city general Tan Zong who were stationed in Huaihuang Town came to greet them.

When everyone saw each other, first Liu Yi and Zhou Xu in the trio of civil officials were to Li Chongjiu to the end, claiming to be too guarded, and seeing him as a vassal, obviously accepting Li Chongjiu's decision to separate himself and stand on his own, and preparing to follow him all the way to the dark.

Li Chongjiu glanced at Ji Chuan, only to see that the other party was silent for a long time, and when he saw Li Chongjiu looking at him, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "Anyway, I have been dismissed by the family, and I can't enter the ancestral hall in life or in the ancestral tomb when I die." I have the status of today, and the glory and wealth of the future, I can only hope in Taishou. After that, Ji Chuan took a long look, although he was a little reluctant, but he still decided to stand on Li Chongjiu's side.

Li Chongjiu didn't care about Ji Chuan's attitude, and the three of them told him about the development of Huaihuang Town in the past six months after going to Yuyi Town. Liu Yiyan said: "Qi Yu Taishou, the winter wheat has already been harvested and put into the warehouse, and the spring wheat will be harvested soon, and this year our cattle and sheep herd has doubled, and the food for the winter is very sufficient, enough for the people of nearly 10,000 Huaihuang towns to live a rich winter." ”

"Nearly 10,000?" Li Chongjiu couldn't help but ask in surprise, "When did we have so many people in Huaihuang Town?" I remember going to Yuyi Town and moving a lot. ”

Liu Yi said with a smile: "Nearly half of this new population is settled by merchants from Zhuo County, and all of them are engaged in the trade of the grass market twice a year. Li Chongjiu nodded, as long as the grass market of trade between Hu and Han is still there, Huaihuang Town, as a commercial town, will continue to attract these big merchants to settle down.

On the side, Ji Chuan arched his hand and said: "Qi Yu Taishou, the financial resources of the merchants in Zhuo County are even better than those in the past in Yanmen and Shanggu Counties, if it weren't for Luo Yimou's rebellion this year, they generally have their own channels to sell trade, and they will never come to Huaihuang Town." However, I have talked to them, and they are still hesitant about our forces in Huaihuang Town, and they are only tentatively entering for now. ”

"It's too late," Li Chongjiu nodded, looked at Liu Yi and asked, "Which other half of the population entered?" ”

Liu Yiyan said: "Yes, Hu people, in fact, there have been many Hu tribes north of Huaihuang Town, most of which are the five tribes of the Xi tribe, the Xia tribe, and even the Khitan, Murwei, and Turks, they are not hostile to our town, just for the convenience of the grass market, but we follow the previous intention of Taishou, only allow the people of the Xi Department to live in Huaihuang Town, and the soldiers who join my Cangtou Army can be given priority to their families." ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "That's right."

At this time, Tan Zongyu said: "Lord Qiyu, before my Cangtou Army's six regiments of soldiers, four of which have been transferred to Yuyi Town, Huaihuang Town only has two regiments of troops, and it was expected that this year's harvest will be abundant, and the grain and grass will be worry-free, so two regiments of soldiers have been recruited and are being trained. ”

Li Chongjiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Whose decision is this?" ”

"Yes, the four of us decided together, mainly worried about the Turkic direction, Liu Wuzhou was canonized as Dingyang Khan, now Mayi, Lou Fu two counties are lost, the Turks are even more southward, here herdsmen, I Huaihuang Town faced the Turkic pressure has increased greatly, so instead of waiting for the lord's order, we first recruited two regiments of soldiers to train first, in order to enhance the strength, it is really a response to the unexpected."

"This matter can be stopped this time, not as an example."

Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, the four of them were all relieved. It is true that Li Chongjiu's current distribution of troops is still very tight, Li Chongjiu brought no more than 300 cavalry from Feihu County, and Feihu County still has six regiments of county soldiers and township soldiers, but they cannot be mobilized, and can only be stationed in the county to guard against Song Jingang. The four regiments of cavalry of the Cangtou Army, as well as the garrison army, were all in Yuyi Town. Therefore, although Huaihuang Town is strong, it is only garrisoned by two regiments, which is too weak, so Zhou Xu's self-made assertion is understandable.

Then Zhou Xu told Li Chongjiu that he hoped for the teaching situation of the Mongolian Pavilion, and said that with the help of rhyme and punctuation, now the children in the Mongolian Pavilion will be able to read and write roughly. Hearing Zhou Xu say this, Li Chongjiu was very happy, for him, the cultivation of the children of the poor family was more pleasing than the increase in troops and the increase in grain and grass. After all, Li Chongjiu still has no family with a slight scale, and he can look down on his own cangtou army, and he comes to take the initiative to attach himself, but there is no one.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu issued a new appointment to Zhou Xu and them. Because of the increase in population, it was too appropriate to call the town in the shape of the garrison, so he changed Huaihuang Town to Huaihuang County, and Yuyi Town to Yuyi County, which was officially incorporated into Shanggu County. As for Zhou Xu and Li Chongjiu, he was appointed as the county magistrate, Liu Yi was appointed as the main secretary, and as for the other clerks in Huaihuang Town at present, they were appointed as six Cao, secretary and other positions according to their ability. As for Ji Chuan, Li Chongjiu appointed him as the county commander of Yuyi County, Wang Mahan was the county commander, commanding all the soldiers of the Cangtou Army, and Eto and Yinghefu were respectively the captain of Hu Cai and the captain of Changshui, and also served as the commander of the fancai.

After Li Chongjiu stayed in Huaihuang Town for a day, he went home to have a meal with Pingping, reunited, and went to Yuyi Town with Ji Chuan non-stop.

It has been less than three months since Li Chongjiu left Yuyi Town, but now it has turned the world upside down. The Dahong City of the main city of Yuyi Town has been completely built, the whole city is square, the circumference is one mile and one-third, and the city wall of loess tamping is three zhang high. The moat under the city was also dug and more than two zhang wide, and was connected by drawbridges at the four gates. At present, everyone has already settled in Dahong City, and the mountain fort three miles in front of Dahong City has already been half built, and the other Jiulian Fort has just started. At present, the city is surrounded by herdsmen from the Xi Department, so it is a situation where Hu people live together and are happy.

The new lieutenant, the city general Wang Mahan, as well as Eto and Ying Hefu, came to meet Li Chongjiu and welcome him into the newly built yamen in the city.

After the meeting, Wang Mahan scolded Li Yuan vigorously, and Yang Guangnai was a faint king, as for Eto, Ying Hefu was also full of hatred and hatred, which meant that since Li Chongjiu had rebelled against the Great Sui, he would follow our room to do it. Eto said directly: "Right now, the Central Plains is fighting the rogue officers and soldiers, the rogue is fighting the officers and soldiers, making a mess, Upa is a person with great ambitions, why bother to wade into this troubled water, it is better to divide one side of the three places with Huaihuang, Yuyi, and Flying Fox, and establish a country on the grassland with the Murodexi Department, and in the future, how about Murude Yun marrying Li Chongjiu and being crowned the queen?" ”

Very good, Li Yuan married his concubine to Li Chongjiu as his wife, but refused to marry his concubine, and the meaning of this side of the room is to let the room be Li Chongjiu's wife instead of the concubine, and the means on both sides can be said to be the same. remembers that in history, in order to contain Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou married his sister to the other party, and Song Jingang decisively divorced his original wife and married Liu Wuzhou's sister as his wife.

The battle for the big house can be called tragic. It's like the difference between marrying a concubine or a concubine, and the gap between the main room and the concubine is even greater. And if Li Chongjiu establishes a country on the grassland in the future, or even becomes the emperor, then the gap between the queen and the concubine is even more incalculable.

When Eto said this, he did not say it casually, but it was a thoughtful statement. Li Chongjiu can't marry Li Sanniang as his wife for the time being, and the position of the main room is vacant, and now they are given a chance. Li Chongjiu also took a deep breath, compared to Li Yuan's obsessiveness in the view of a poor family, but these Hu people are still very enthusiastic about themselves, not only did they not slack off because of their loss of power this time, but they were also willing to marry Mu Deyun to himself as his wife.

Li Chongjiu said: "This matter will be discussed for the time being, where did Tong Jin go?" ”

Ying Hefu secretly regretted at the moment, but said on his face: "In the grassland dozens of miles away in the northeast, arrange the autumn pastures of 20,000 newly joined herdsmen. ”

Hearing the addition of this new force, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be very happy, 20,000 herdsmen have at least 4,000 strong men, which can form cavalry, which is a powerful combat force. And it is far more than that, I heard that in Wuhou Qinshui, there are nearly 30,000 herdsmen of the Xi tribe, if they join their own tens of thousands of grassland iron horses, they can be formed.

"Inghefer, something is wrong!" At this moment, a bearded man with braids on his head and wearing a leather robe strode into the main house, and the other party was stunned when he saw Li Chongjiu.

Inhefer said: "This is the Upa of the famous town steppe. ”

The other party was shocked when he heard this, and said: "It turned out to be Upa, and I have admired it for a long time." The other party made a Han salute and said immediately. Li Chongjiu had heard the other party's name, and it was the leader who led 20,000 herdsmen to Yuyi Town to ask for attachment this time, and it was Mu Deyun's cousin.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Li Chongjiu was there, Mu Defeng immediately restrained his panic, and forced himself to speak: "I heard the news that the Khitan Khan Dahe Duluo was furious after hearing that we had come to Yuyi Town to defect to the Han people, and persuaded the Khitan tribes to dispatch all the horses of the Khitan Eight Divisions, claiming to be 100,000 troops, and claiming to raze Yuyi Town!" ”
