Yuyi Town was built in the upper reaches of the wet water of Huaihuang Town, after the Northern Wei Dynasty set up six towns, in order to defend the upper valley, Zhuo County, and in the east of Huaihuang Town, a town called Yuyi Town was set up again.

Therefore, in later generations, after the six towns, there is also the saying of seven towns.

From the perspective of geographical advantages, Yuyi Town is the main passage out of Hebei, Zhu Di's conquest of Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty, and the direction of the Mongolian invasion of the Ming Dynasty are all important passages.

At present, the southward advance of the Turks has become a foregone conclusion, if Li Chongjiu wants to forge ahead and expand his strength, the power of the steppe overlord Turks, in the words of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is indisputable.

In the future, Liang Shidu of Shuofang County and Liu Wuzhou of Mayi County will all rebel with the support of the Turks, and there will be a strong position of Li Yuan's father and son in the direction of Taiyuan. It is not safe to go to the grassland and Yanmen County, so if you want to develop, you can only go east and south, which is the place where the hegemony is achieved.

After the Cangtou Army Yuyi opened the town, from here you can go down to Shanggu County by going to the Gushui River Valley.

At present, Shanggu County is in chaos, Wang Xuba, Wei Dao'er gathered hundreds of thousands of people and returned to Shanggu County, and repeatedly defeated the official army, and now Shanggu County has been reduced to a place where thieves are entrenched.

The momentum of this gang of thieves is getting bigger and bigger, and it is faintly like entering Shanxi.

Li Chongjiu learned from the official documents last month that Li Yuan, Pan Changwen, and Murong Luo were stationed in Taiyuan County, and several generals were mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for a battle with the thieves.

In the history books, Li Yuan relied on Li Shimin to defeat Lishanfei's invasion, but as for what happened to Lishanfei, Li Chongjiu didn't remember it so clearly.

But for Li Chongjiu, the defeat of Lishan Fei just gave the opportunity to wave the army into Taigu County and prepare for the end of the Sui Dynasty.

The expansion of Yuyi Town is the first step.

In the early morning of the next day, Xi Bu pulled out the camp from the north of Huaihuang Town, loaded the tents into carts, and moved all the cattle and sheep.

The steppe tribes are all environmentalists and are well aware of the dangers of overgrazing, so the pastures are divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they often have to migrate every season, so migration is a constant thing for them.

Xi migrated and left, leaving only wooden stakes that were crooked all over the ground, and there were traces of circles of felt bags.

Li Chongjiu also asked Lin Dangfeng and Li Hu to lead a caravan to Yuyi City with Xibu, except for some who stayed in Huaihuang Town to recuperate from their injuries.

Li Chongjiu's purpose in asking Lin Dangfeng to go to Yuyi City was, of course, to assess whether it was feasible to establish a commercial route from Shanggu County.

On the top of the city of Huaihuang Town, Li Chongjiu sent Xi Bu, the caravan, and the dart bureau away, and Li Hu sat on the horse and waved goodbye to himself.

Every time we separate in this troubled world, we may never see each other again.

Li Chongjiu was silent for a while, and Ying Hefu, the general of the Xi Department on the side, also looked at his own people, and couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

Ying Hefu said to Li Chongjiu: "General, our three hundred and fifty people are all at your disposal, and they are all the bravest warriors in the tribe. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "I know, I am going to group your people and my cavalry together to form three regiments. ”

"Three regiments?"

"That's right," Li Chongjiu said, "We have a regiment in the Great Sui, that is, your two hundred-man teams of Xi people, and I already have one hundred and fifty cavalry soldiers, and now I will transfer another hundred people with good equestrian skills into the army, so that it is six hundred people and three regiments." ”

Ying Hefu frowned when he heard this, and said: "General, the tactics of our Xi clan are different from your Sui army, if they are mixed together, I am afraid it will affect the performance of the battle. ”

Li Chongjiu smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu clapped his hands, only to see a soldier on the side holding a Mingguang armor stepping forward.

Li Chongjiu pointed to this armor and said, "How about this armor?" ”

Ying Hefu took this Mingguang armor and looked left and right, looking like he couldn't put it down, and then said to Li Chongjiu: "Except for the Turkic iron armor, the rest of the tribes have nothing like this except for the patriarch, even if there is only one piece in my room. ”

Li Chongjiu asked, "Are you so short of iron?" ”

Ying Hefu said with emotion: "Not only we Xi people, but also this grassland, only grass grows on the grassland, no iron is produced, and the Central Plains does not sell iron with us, so it is an iron scimitar, for the Xi people, it is a family heirloom from generation to generation." ”

"We only have such a treasure knife in ten households, the Han people use iron bows, we only have horn bows, as for iron arrows, you have also seen, everyone can only carry one or two, unless it is time for a big war, never use it lightly."

"Of course the Turks will be better equipped than we are, but not much better. The Turks were the forging slaves of the worms, and the scimitars they made couldn't be better, not inferior to the Sui knives, but unfortunately there were still too few. ”

Inghofer looked at the armor and sighed.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Since you like it, this armor will be given to you." ”

When he heard this, he immediately smiled and said unceremoniously: "Thank you so much." ”

Li Chongjiu's armor is the 300 pieces of Mingguang armor that were taken from the treasury of Yanmen County.

These 300 pieces of Mingguang armor are just a drop in the bucket for the Great Sui, and they are nothing to Yanmen County, but if they are concentrated in a Huaihuang town, it will be quite remarkable.

Ying Hefu caressed this Mingguang armor and said happily: "You, the Great Sui Emperor, if you are willing to sell this Mingguang armor to the grassland, you can exchange it for at least ten Turkic horses, or three stunning beauties!" ”

Li Chongjiu saw Ying Hefu's appearance, and said with a smile: "In this Mingguang armor in my treasury, how about I plan to pick up the elite of the Xi Department and my Cangtou Army cavalry to form an armored cavalry?" ”

When Inghefu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Is this true? ”

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "I only have these two hundred armors for the time being, and no matter how many there are, I can't form them." ”

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but think of Luo Yi's 5,000 armored horses in Youzhou, but if the war horse was covered with armor, then the load-bearing and explosive power of the war horse would be too demanding.

The horse breeds in the northeast of Hebei are more suitable for armored riding, but the Turkic horses are lacking.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu prepared to use leather as a temporary outfit for war horses, and people wore iron armor to form a group of iron horses. The remaining two regiments were light cavalry.

For the Great Sui light cavalry.

It is generally equipped with two bows, a hard bow, and an iron bow of one and a half stones, which can not only shoot far, but also break armor.

There is also a soft bow with a bow power of nine buckets, which is specially used for riding and shooting.

Li Chongjiu configured the Xi cavalry according to the standards of the Great Sui cavalry, and at the same time, the iron arrowhead was also full, plus a Sui ring-headed straight knife.

In this way, the combat power of this Xi cavalry has more than doubled.

Li Chongjiu was convinced that this cavalry, used against the tribes on the grassland who were still using ox horn bows and stone bone arrows, could definitely form a sweeping trend.
