When the soldiers and horses returned to the city, Ling Yun ordered to reward all the soldiers who went out to fight with five catties of wine and meat, and a three-day holiday. The fastest chapter update is the soldiers and family members who did not fight in the city, and they are also given a hundred dollars each, and a pound of wine and meat. For a time, the entire Huaihuang Liancheng was in a state of jubilation. Ling Yun even set up a celebratory banquet on the White Tiger Stage, and invited the leaders and elders of the Tiger Alliance to drink and celebrate the achievement. At the banquet, Tuoba Hengdao looked at the pro-soldiers in the tent who were standing guard on the White Tiger Platform and sighed: "The alliance leader, these pro-troops in the tent stand like a pine, not moving like a mountain, they are really good." And as soon as a war broke out, it was as fast as the wind, as fierce as fire, and as thunderous as thunder. In the first battle of Shihe, his fierce and brave was really admired by the old man and others. ”

Ling Yun said with a smile: "The pro-army in the tent is only slightly trained, and it is still too far from the elite. Time is not waiting for me, I will not hide it from you, although the Tiger League has won today, but the danger of destruction is approaching step by step, every time I think about it, I can't sleep. The Tiger League has been established for several years, from the old master to the clumsy Jing, and then to a certain one, there have been three terms. I really don't want the Tiger League to be lost in my hands. ”

Hearing Ling Yun sigh like this, everyone was a little surprised, especially some elders and others, who felt that Ling Yun was a little too alarmist.

"Respect virtue, bite gold, and bring up the sand table." Ling Yun shouted to the two people standing under the porch.

"Yes." The two of them answered, turned and walked out, and a moment later they came in carrying a wooden box of more than a foot long and wide, covered with a cloth, and no one knew what was underneath.

Ling Yun walked over and lifted the cover, revealing the sand table inside.

There was an exclamation, and everyone at the banquet stared in amazement at what was revealed when the cloth was lifted.

"That's the terrain near Huaihuang!" Pei Zeng sighed in surprise, he saw it. The sand table in Lingyun's mouth turned out to be the mountainous terrain near Huaihuang made of mud and sand, and it was so delicate and intuitive. He had been in Huaihuang for so many years. It's the first time I've seen it, and it turns out that Huaihuang is actually like this. On the sand table, Huaihuang Liancheng stands on a flat grassland, but not far to the south, it is a steep high dam, forming a huge height difference with the Central Plains, and the whole dam. It stands like a raised dam in the northern part of the Central Plains. To the south of the dam is the Great Wall built in the Central Plains, to the south. There is also a Great Wall.

"That's right, this is the terrain of Huaihuang." Ling Yun nodded and said, "Everyone, please take a look, Huaihuang and the surrounding hundreds of miles. It is an excellent grassland. There are abundant water and grass, meadows, forests, rivers and lakes, and although it is not suitable for growing food, it is the most suitable for grazing. Such a treasure land has been occupied by us for several years. To be honest, we are just a group of green forests, but we have been able to occupy this treasure for many years. The Great Sui in the south, the Turks in the west and the north, and the Xi in the east. Don't you think it's strange that they didn't come to take it? ”

"And, let's take a closer look, the location of Huaihuang Town. Although it is outside the Great Wall, it is Daning, the pass of the Great Wall, to the south, and from here to the south, you can enter the east of the river, you can also enter Youzhou, Hebei, and even directly enter the Baidaochuan in the west. From Huaihuang to the west, we can reach the Turkic Khan's tent along the Yin Mountain, and to the north we can cross the Sand Sea to reach the Eastern Turkic Mobei Khan's Court, and to the east, we can go straight to Xi, Khitan, Xia, Murowei, Jin, Goguryeo and other places. It can be said that this is a passage that extends in all directions, and from here, you can connect all places. Huaihuang City lives in such a place, don't you see that we are guarding a golden rice bowl? ”

Li Wan pinched the wine glass and said without being salty or light: "What do you want to say Lingyun?" ”

"What I want to tell you is that in fact, we have been asking for rice with a golden rice bowl for all these years." Ling Yun said loudly: "Look at the location of Huaihuang, look at the terrain here, have you ever thought about it, what if we are no longer just short-sighted robbing of past business travelers, but the other way around?" ”

"The other way around? Is it impossible to give money to business travelers? Su Cheng of the Seventh Taibao said with a smile, "Give these business trips up?" So what do we eat and drink? ”

Ling Yun ignored Su Cheng's hostile words, he pointed to Huaihuang City on the sand table, "Look, between the grassland and the Central Plains, there is Yanshan and Yinshan, and on this line, there is also the Great Wall. But the first line in the north, there are only a few roads out of the congestion, one is from the five plains to the north out of the Shimen Water Valley, this road is called the Zhiyang Road in ancient times, it is also called the middle road, the Northern Wei Dynasty set up six towns, Huaishuo Town is located on the plain of the upper reaches of the Shimen River, guarding the throat of this passage. The other one goes north from Baidao City, passing through the Baidao Water Valley out of Wuchuan Town, this passage is called Baidao. And we are in the wilderness, on the road to the north of Hedong and Hebei. And if it is from Hebei, it must pass through four places, Lulongsai, Miyunshu, Yuyi Town and Daning. In addition to Lu Longsai in the east of Youzhou, Miyunshu, Yuyi Town, and Daning City, the three exits are all towards the dam, and they are all near Huaihuang. ”

"So what?" Su Cheng still said.

Ling Yun shook his head, he was really a little helpless about these bandits and horse bandits who only knew about robbery. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, they occupy such an important place as Huaihuang, and they only know how to rob the past business travelers, which is really stupid. Look at the Western Regions on the Silk Road, they are because they occupy this prosperous trade route, so they sit on their wealth. Huaihuang City is located on several main roads on both sides of the river and Hebei, which can be described as unlimited business opportunities. They don't need to work hard to rob at all, as long as they use Huaihuang City as a transit station and bazaar for business travelers, they will be too busy just to sit on the ground and collect money. The annual trade between the Central Plains and the grasslands is by no means a small number, and countless merchants from the Central Plains go out to do business, exchanging the goods of the Central Plains for the goods of the grassland. However, the distance between the Central Plains and the grassland is too far, and although the imperial court has set up mutual markets on the border, the official market threshold is very high. If the Tiger League can operate Huaihuang into a border bazaar, live in an excellent location on these trade roads, and build a market, are you afraid that there will be no one? Many of the rest of the merchants are also very dangerous to run outside the plug, and they can only run once a year. Especially if you go deep into Mobei, only large caravans can go. If Lingyun set up a bazaar here, then some merchants from the Central Plains could even rest here, and directly sell and buy goods here, without going deep into the grassland at all. And for many tribes, they don't need to wait for the Central Plains caravan to exchange goods, and they don't need to go to the Central Plains Sui realm. You can sell your own livestock and skins in Huaihuang outside the Saiwai, and then directly buy the tea and cloth you need, eliminating the time to go south to the Central Plains and many formalities and troubles of crossing the border.

Historically. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shanxi, Hebei, and Mongolian-Cuban trade prospered, and Zhangjiakou quickly became an important inner 6 port at that time, commonly known as dry wharf.

"As long as we build a bazaar in Huaihuang, we will stop robbing the passing merchants, and even invite them to come to us to rest and even store their goods here. By setting up shop here, we can make ten times more money than we do today. "Lingyun is not bragging, once the border market is done. The benefits are absolutely huge, especially in such a good location as Huaihuang. "Of course, it's too early to talk about this, and we're in big trouble right now. If it can't be solved. Not to mention holding a cornucopia in the future to reap the benefits, I'm afraid that we won't be able to stay in this deserted city. ”

"What's the trouble?" Tuoba had a good connection, so Ling Yun couldn't help but want to give thirty-two likes to this treacherous old man. This old guy is obviously deliberately praising Ling Yun.

"The people of Baye Gu are originally in Mobei, everyone knows it, why did they appear in Huaihuang?" Ling Yun asked.

"They were summoned by the Eastern Turkic Khan Dulan to come south and attack the Sui border. It is said that it was because the Sui Dynasty first designed to kill Du Lan's wife, and then married a princess to the little Khan Tuli in the north. This made Du Lan feel very shameless, so he was furious and summoned people to commit crimes. However, because of Tuli, he sent a message to the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Du Lan did not succeed, so in the end he had to disband the people, and the people of Baye Gu went south and got nothing, so they stayed and did not return. Tuoba explained.

"Yes, exactly." Ling Yun pointed to the sand table, "Look, Du Lan is the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, but his Khan Court is not in Yudu Jin Mountain in Mobei, but in Baidaochuan in the east of us. "Baidaochuan, also known as the Elechuan, is the Tumut Plain in later generations, in the area of Baotou and Hohhot, here is already in the south of Yinshan, in the north of Shuozhou in the east of the river, that is, in the area of the front set of the Yellow River. It is very close to Huaihuang Town, and the rest. Dulan's Khan Court is in the vicinity of Wuchuan Town, along the Yin Mountain to the east, and Huaihuang Town is only separated by a Rouxuan Town. "The six northern towns established during the Northern Wei Dynasty, in fact, have been controlled by the Turks since the Wei Dynasty, although the Great Sui defeated the Turks several times, but in fact, the northern border of the Great Sui has always been only on the Great Wall. The line of the six northern towns outside the Great Wall has actually been controlled by the Turks. At that time, Murong Lao was in charge, but he just took the opportunity to occupy the famine, and the Turks have not moved the famine in recent years, not because they are afraid of us, but because they are afraid of the Great Sui. The so-called rat throwing is also a bogey, but now, Du Lan has already started a war with the Sui Dynasty, so after he hits a wall in the Sui Realm, it is very likely that he will take our Huaihuang City first. "For Du Lan, who has already turned his face with the Sui Dynasty, there is no reason why the small Huaihuang Town should not be taken back.

As soon as Ling Yun said this, even Li Wan and the others had to admit that this was indeed very reasonable. In the past, the Sui, Turkic, and Xi families surrounded Huaihuang Town, but they didn't do anything, it was just a delicate balance. But now, the balance has been broken, and the Eastern Turks are very likely to come to attack Huaihuang, after all, the position occupied by Huaihuang is very important, not only the golden position on the trade route, but also militarily, it is also a strategic place for soldiers. If Dulan occupies this place, whether it is south to Hedong or east to Youzhou, Hebei, it is an excellent base for attacking and advancing, how can he let it go.

Ling Yun first said a bunch of wonderful visions of Huaihuang City, and then suddenly explained the huge crisis of Huaihuang Town at this time, which suddenly complicated everyone's minds. They are not only immersed in the huge benefits of running Huaihuang after it became a border market, but also worried about the current dangerous situation in Huaihuang City.

"Will the Eastern Turks definitely come to attack Huaihuang?" Someone asked impatiently.

Ling Yun nodded, "Even the Baye Gu people in Mobei are coveting Huaihuang and can't get in love, how can you say that Dulan Khan will let go of our piece of fat that is right next to his mouth?" ”

"What then? Dulan Khan is the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, who leads thousands of miles of grasslands, and has hundreds of thousands of people under his command, how can we be opponents. ”

"Why don't we retreat before the Eastern Turks arrive, and the green mountains left behind are there, not afraid of running out of firewood."

"yes."

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and when many people heard that the Eastern Turks might come to attack, they thought of fleeing instead of resisting.

In this regard, although Ling Yun was a little disappointed in his heart, he had expected it. That's why he just presented the wonderful prospect of nostalgia first, and then the crisis. If it weren't for the first outline that Huaihuang is a cornucopia, I am afraid that there is already a lot of people in the hall who are about to flee, not only a small number of people have this attitude. Many people didn't say they wanted to escape, Pei Zeng didn't say it, the Tenth Taibao didn't say it, and many prestigious elders didn't say it. They didn't say, it's not that they don't know the crisis, but they know the fact that where are they going to flee? The Tiger League occupies the dam and has been operating Huaihuang for many years, and it is no longer just a small cottage, there are more than 100 cottages in the entire alliance, more than a dozen branches, up and down, and I am afraid of no less than 100,000 people. Everyone has been accustomed to such peaceful days for a long time, where are you going to flee now? Where can there be room for so many of them? And he has been the king of the mountain for so long, and he is used to living a free life, who wants to live under someone else's hands. What's more, Huaihuang City still has such a bright future.

Tuoba Hengdao spoke up at this time: "Since the alliance has already sensed this crisis, can there be a solution to it?" ”

Ling Yun was waiting for this sentence, and laughed a few times at the moment.

"In fact, although the Eastern Turks are strong, we don't necessarily have to be afraid, don't forget jì, there are still people in the Eastern Turks who are afraid."

"Great Sui?"

Ling Yun nodded, "That's right, the Eastern Turks are indeed stronger than us, but we don't have to fight alone without help, don't forget jì, we are south of the Great Sui, and if you haven't forgotten jì, we accepted the recruitment of the Jin king of the Sui Dynasty not long ago, and now we are the people of the Sui Dynasty." ”

Li Wan said coldly: "The intention of the alliance leader is to invite the Sui people to come and give up the wilderness?" Sure enough, as soon as he said this, many people in the hall immediately talked about it, and everyone was unwilling to give up Huaihuang to the Turks, but they were also unwilling to give it to the Sui people.

"Of course not, Huaihuang is our home, how can we give it up casually. We are just borrowing the power of the Great Sui to make the Turks a little jealous of us. But the iron still depends on its own hardness, and if we want to keep the famine, we have to rely on our own strength. Look at the people who have just been defeated by us, as long as we are tough enough, no matter who it is, don't try to snatch Huaihuang. I have a plan to not only keep Huaihuang, but also make Huaihuang a cornucopia, but this plan has everyone's support. ”

"No matter what plan the alliance leader has, I will definitely give my full support, Huaihuang Town belongs to our Tiger Alliance, and no one wants to snatch it away!" Tuoba horizontal knife shook his arm loudly.

Pei Zeng also stood up in support, "The old man also fully supports the alliance leader. ”

"I support it too."

"Yes."

One by one, they all stood up and shouted, although they are just bandits and horse bandits, but they also regard this place as their home, if the wilderness is gone, where will they go? What's more, Ling Yun also portrayed the prospect of nostalgia so beautifully. Ling Yun looked at this qiē with a smile, under his intentional guidance, there were two weighty supports, Tuoba Hengdao and Pei Zeng, and things were unfolding step by step in the direction he had designed. He swept his gaze to the side, just in time to catch a glimpse of Li Wan and the other Taibao's frowns. (To be continued......)
