The four major forces of the Lishicheng Business Alliance are the Lin family, the Mao family, the Liu family, and the Zahu Alliance of Xihe County.

The Lin family and the Mao family are both Xihe County Wang family, are thousands of years of inheritance of the family, the first generation of the Lin family ancestor is the famous virtuous minister in the Shang Dynasty period, the legend has a seven-trick exquisite heart of the widow of Bigan. Bigan was killed by the king of the Shang Dynasty, and his wife was pregnant for three months, escaped from the court, and gave birth to a boy in the stone room of Changlin, a famous spring. In 1046 B.C., after Zhou Wu Wang Ji destroyed Shang Jianzhou, he was loyal to Bigan, recruited his heirs, and ordered Hongyao to seal the tomb of Bigan in the territory of Chaoge Nanji, and his wife returned to Zhou with a spring. Because Quan was born in the stone room of Changlin, King Wu of Zhou gave the surname Lin Mingjian. Nian Lin Jian is the first king of Shang Tang, and can avoid chaos and never end the world, but worship Jian as a doctor, eat Yi Qinghe. Later, he was crowned with Boling Gong, and 2,000 households were eaten, and Boling was picked. This Boling is not the Boling of later generations, although the two places have the same name, but not a place, his fief is located in Xihe County, and later after changes, the surname Lin is all over the country, but there is a line that sticks to Xihe County, and lives in Lishicheng, in order to avoid the war in the last years of the Han Dynasty, they had to leave the countryside and live in Lishicheng, which has been hundreds of years. The Lin family has been operating in Xihe County for thousands of years, and has also been operating in Lishicheng for a hundred years, so the power is huge, and the eyes and ears are all over the place, and the Han people in the entire Xihe County are looking at the Lin family, even if the Huns and other Hu people dare not touch them in order to stabilize the situation in Xihe County, it can be seen that the Lin family is strong.

The Mao family is similar to the Lin family, they are passed down from the son of King Wen of Zhou, the ancestor of the surname Mao was named Uncle Mao, and the generation is Zhou Qing, because the name of the fief is Mao, and the descendants think that they are the family, and later they became the surname Mao, I don't know in which generation, the surname Mao migrated to Lishicheng, Xihe County, and they have a history of two hundred years. However, they were unwilling to make friends with the Hu people, and regarded the Hu people as barbarians, so they were attacked by the Hu people two years ago and almost perished, but they had been friends with the Lin family for generations, and under the mediation of the Lin family, they turned the corner. However, the strength of the Mao family has also shrunk as a result, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and they are still one of the four major forces in Lishi City.

And the Liu family is not the Han people, they are the Huns, legend has it that they are the current Hun Emperor Liu Cong's own family, but I just don't know if it's true or not, but most of the Huns in Lishicheng follow the Liu family, and their Liu family has become the representative of the Huns in Xihe County, just like the family of the Han people standing in Lishicheng, they rose for a short time, only a few years, but the growth is so fast, it is jaw-dropping.

The Liu family transported horses to the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, earned a lot of money by selling horses, and also attracted a lot of thugs, and the Liu family raised hundreds of thugs, so the biggest enemy they had to face was the Liu family. The current head of the Liu family is called Liu Sheng, he is bullying men and women in Lishi City, the catastrophe of the Mao family two years ago was caused by Liu Sheng, and the Mao family was almost completely eradicated by him, if it weren't for the help of the Lin family, the Mao family would really be finished. Because of this incident, Liu Sheng almost became the emperor of Lishicheng, and neither the Lin family nor the Mao family dared to offend the Liu family easily, so the Liu family can be called the first force in Lishicheng.

As for Zahu, it's easy to say, the rest are like the forces united by the Hu people, such as the Qian, Qiang, Yue, Wuhuan, and Xianbei people, they are few, and now the Xiongnu are in charge, so they are bullied by the Huns, and they are not accepted by the Han, they can only survive in the cracks. The Liu family enslaved a large number of miscellaneous beards to raise horses for them and also provided them with protection, and they could be said to be subordinates of the Liu family.

This is all the forces in Lishi City, and the plan given to Liu Bi by the Supervision Department is to directly enter Lishi City to destroy the Liu family, and force the Lin family and the Mao family to become their own people, after all, there is no safe place in the north now, they can only rely on Chu Yun, Chu Yun controls Xihe County with the support of the two land snakes, as long as he pulls the favor of Zahu again, then Xihe County will never escape from Chu Yun's control.

Destroying the Liu family will not only be able to master Xihe County, but also get a lot of benefits, this benefit is a large number of war horses, the Liu family was originally domesticated for the Huns, the information obtained by the Supervision Department, the number of war horses mastered by the Liu family is at least a few thousand, so that Chu Yun can increase thousands of cavalry, which can greatly increase Chu Yun's power. Liu Bi and Guo Shuzi were also excited, they couldn't believe that if they could return to Shangdang County with thousands of war horses, how excited Chu Yun would be, and their status would be as stable as Mount Tai.

When Liu Bi and the others came to the edge of Lishi City, the Lin family and the Mao family received the news that the two families were not at a loss. And because of their arrival, both families were uneasy. That night, the heads of the two families gathered together, and they didn't know which force Liu Bi and the others belonged to, which made the two families even more worried.

"Brother Lin, do you think it could be that Liu Sheng's bastard called the Hun cavalry and wanted to destroy us and dominate Lishi City?" Mao Qing, the family of the Mao family, is an elegant man in his forties, but don't look at him, he looks like a literati, but in Lishi City, that kind of rotten Confucianism is impossible to become the head of the family, Mao Qing is known for his fierceness and aggressiveness, when he was young, he was once attacked by more than 20 Hu people, and after his family was about to die, Mao Qing was stunned to get out of the encirclement with a spear in his hand. And a year later, he stabbed all the enemies and caused a sensation in Xihe County, and his prestige even could oppress the Hu people who did not dare to hit the attention of the Mao family, of course, he kicked the iron plate two years ago.

"What do you want to do?" The head of the Lin family is called Lin Yu, he is in his fifties this year, and has been in charge of the Lin family for more than 20 years, he was also the same as Mao Qing in his early years, but with the change of the times, he likes to use his brain more and more, and is called the seven-trick fox by the Hu people, which means that he has the same seven-trick heart as his ancestor Bigan. But don't look at him being called a fox, but he treats everyone very kindly, and is famous for his righteousness and wealth, his prestige is very high, it can be said that he is a hundred responses, not to mention the Han people who lose money from Shicheng, that is, many miscellaneous beards admire him, which is also the reason why Liu Sheng of the Liu family does not dare to completely turn his face with him.

"Our two families can make up three or four thousand people, let's fight with them. After Mao Qing finished speaking, Lin Yu pondered.

"No, you don't know how strong the regular army is, even if we concentrate 10,000 people, we can't beat a thousand cavalry, do you think that two years ago, two hundred Hun soldiers almost wiped out your Mao family, so soon you forgot?" Lin Yu immediately denied Mao Qing's idea.

"Then what do you think we should do? Mao Qingyi sat on the stool.

"We know too little about the situation, but no matter who they are, they have the strength to destroy Lishi City, the wall of Lishi City is so broken, it can't stop anyone, we have to prepare with both hands, first send our family away, and then prepare manpower, we must not be caught in the hand, my Lin family and your Mao family are built like a small fortress, our two families are still not far away, if you are each other's horns, you hurry out now to arrange for your family to leave." Mao Qing has always looked at Lin Yu's horse, and after Lin Yu finished speaking, Mao Qing arched his hand and left immediately.

Liu Bi and Guo Shuzi never imagined that they would let the Lin family and the Mao family misunderstand, in fact, they didn't know, the Mao family and the Lin family's movements made Liu Sheng nervous, although he was a Huns, but he was also long in thinking, he was not Liu Cong's relative at all, but borrowed the name of the royal family, and gathered a group of outlaws to slowly grow stronger, he squeezed Zahu to raise horses for him, and through bribery, became a horse supplier of the Xiongnu Han State. Therefore, don't look at him suppressing the Han people and suppressing Zahu, in fact, he is just a fox and a fake tiger, even if he wants to destroy the Mao family that time, it is a coincidence. He bribed a Hun general who went home to pick up his relatives with a lot of money, and asked him to destroy the Mao family who always opposed him, but unfortunately the Lin family directly brought out his relationship with a squire, and let the general throw a rat bogey, and he was also a bamboo basket to draw water.

Since then, although he tried his best to win over all the Huns, but he only had more than 900 people under his command, not all the Huns were willing to take refuge in him, and Zahu hated him even more, compared to the Lin family and the Mao family, who had thousands of people at every turn, he was at a disadvantage. Therefore, he paid close attention to the two families, and as soon as the two families gathered their clansmen, he knew about them immediately.

He immediately gathered all his cronies, although he didn't believe that the two Han families dared to touch him, but he was also prepared, he didn't expect the threat from outside the city at all.

When Liu Bi's cavalry swept into the city, the whole Lishi City jumped up, and they directly killed the Liu family's mansion, which was a luxurious mansion that Liu Sheng had not built for several years, and even he was so arrogant that he accommodated the former county guard mansion into his own residence.

When the iron-blooded army appeared, Liu Sheng was completely stupid, what was the situation? But what was waiting for him was a sharp saber, Liu Sheng gathered all his subordinates, leaving Liu Bi to find them one by one, the iron-blooded army surrounded the Liu family, and the sound of fighting lasted directly all morning, the Liu family's blood flowed like a river, except for the men who barely survived the women, more than 900 people under Liu Sheng and dozens of his family slaves all became ghosts under the knife.

Liu Bi tortured out the two large horse farms of the Liu family, and immediately sent his subordinates to receive them, so as not to lose these horses, more than 3,000 war horses and more than 500 ponies, which made Liu Bi and Guo Shuzi smile, and they completed the task given to them by Chu Yun by the Liu family alone.

After cleaning up the Liu family, Liu Bilian took people to the Lin family without changing the bloody clothes on her body, and Lin Yu, who had already crashed, hadn't figured out what was going on, in fact, he didn't blame him, now that the Huns were beating the world, there was a sudden group of people killing the Huns, and the information in this era was transmitted so slowly, of course he didn't know the rise of Chuyun in Shangdang County.

In fact, after Liu Yao's defeat, he originally wanted to ask Liu Cong to let him find the field, but Liu Cong actually refused him, after Emperor Jin Huai was killed by Liu Cong, the Han people who had surrendered to him resigned one after another, Liu Cong was furious, and he began to wantonly kill the Han officials who he thought were against him, and some Han officials were killed by him for various reasons, such as Wang Ji, the messenger of Zuodu, who was killed by Liu Cong because of the lack of supply of fish and crabs.

At this time, Sima Ye, the crown prince in Chang'an, ascended the throne as the emperor and was known as the Emperor of Jin. Liu Cong was furious and immediately ordered Zhao Ran, Liu Yao and Sili Captain Qiao Zhiming to attack Chang'an, Liu Yao could only swallow this breath.

Of course, Chu Yun is not clear about these things, but the actions of the Huns gave Chu Yun time to breathe, Chu Yun has gained a firm foothold after half a year of development, and he is even preparing to find a little trouble for the Huns.

Lin Yu invited Liu Bi in, and at this time Mao Qing also ran over, he was overjoyed to hear that the Liu family was slaughtered, and he met Liu Bi as soon as he came over. Mao Qing immediately surrounded Liu Bi, like fans in later generations, constantly asking about the situation at that time, Liu Bi also knew that this person was the head of the Mao family, so the two of them talked very happily, and they almost cut off the chicken head and burned yellow paper to worship as brothers, Liu Bi also told Mao Qing that he was ordered to take over Xihe County, Mao Qing immediately expressed strong support, but Lin Yu thought more.

"Captain Liu, you came to receive Xihe County on the orders of the deputy governor of Bingzhou, the acting county guard of Xihe County, and the general of Polu, but do you know that this place is regarded as the birthplace by the Huns, and they will never watch Xihe County lost. We are very supportive of the imperial court's acceptance of Xihe County, after all, we are all Jin people, but do you have any views on the threats we face after receiving them?" After Lin Yu finished speaking, Liu Bi glanced at him, this person is not a person who is easy to fool, but Liu Bi has already had a belly case.

"Could it be that the head of the Lin family means that because you are facing a threat, the imperial court must leave Xihe County alone, and let people like the Liu family unscrupulously bully the Han people and supply horses to the Huns?"

"Liu Duwei, I didn't mean that, I am also Han, of course I support the imperial court, and my heart is also towards the imperial court. I just hope that the imperial court will consider it for us, after all, we are also the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, and if the imperial court does this, we will be in big trouble. Before Lin Yu finished speaking, Mao Qing quarreled.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you, we have been supporting in Xihe County alone all these years, don't we all hope that the imperial court can come back and let us bathe in the glory of the imperial court? Why are you so?" Mao Qing originally wanted to say why Lin Yu was so timid, but Lin Yu's prestige was deeply rooted in his heart, and the Lin family helped them so much, he stubbornly took back the words of complaining.

Without waiting for Lin Yu to say anything, Liu Bi spoke: "Master Lin, it is not easy for me to respect you for a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, so I have a good relationship with you, don't think too high of yourself." How did your Lin family get into a relationship with the Huns? Isn't it just like the Liu family, selling war horses to the Huns, just by virtue of this, I can destroy your Lin family on behalf of the imperial court, and you are betraying the country. Have you ever supported the court? After Liu Bi finished speaking, Lin Yu's face turned pale, he didn't expect Liu Bi to know everything, he had been very careful.

Mao Qing's face turned blue, the Mao family also raised horses, even more than the Lin family, because the imperial court cut off contact with them, most of them were sold by the Lin family to the Mao family, Lin Yu told him that these horses were sold to Xiliang Zhang Rail, but now someone told him that the Lin family was sold to the Huns?

"Lin Yu, you have always told me that our horses were sold to Xiliang, and you actually lied to me? You disappointed me too much. Seeing that Mao Qing also blamed himself, Lin Yu's face became even more bitter.

"Brother Mao Xian, I have lied to you all these years, but do you want to live here in peace and quiet for so many years if it wasn't for me to make friends with the Huns?"

"Lin Yu, count me wrong, we are Han people, the Huns killed my compatriots, captured the emperor, my Mao family did not fight with them and already felt faceless, you even took my Mao family's horses as an enemy, my Mao Qing broke off with you, Liu Duwei, my Mao family did something wrong, I disgraced the Han people, and now I donate more than 3,000 good horses of my Mao family to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can kill more Huns and drive them back to the grassland. Mao Qing no longer glanced at Lin Yu. Liu Bi didn't expect this Mao Qing to do this, he sighed in his heart, if the Han people are the same as Mao Qing, then it is estimated that a Hu person like him will never enter the Central Plains.

"Master Mao, on behalf of the imperial court, I thank you for your deep understanding of righteousness, we really need these horses, so I'm not welcome, you can rest assured that after I go back, I will show Lord Dudu, he will remember the head of the family." In addition, we confiscated the Liu family and got a lot of money, and I am going to give some of it to the Mao family. Master of the Mao family, don't be in a hurry to refuse, the foal I got from the Liu family and all the mares and stallions will be transferred to the Mao family, and the Mao family can help the court raise horses in the future, and the money is considered a deposit. You also need to buy horse fodder, and there are a lot of expenses, so you don't have to refuse. Liu Bi took Mao Qing's hand and said sincerely, Mao Qing was very excited, he didn't expect the imperial court to be so considerate of such a small family master.

"In addition, you can rest assured, we also consider your safety, there will be no army stationed in Shicheng for the time being, your Mao family can temporarily move to Shangdang County, I also have a horse farm in Shangdang County, I will go back to the Ming Governor and hand it over to you to manage, I believe that under the protection of tens of thousands of troops of the Chu Governor, your Mao family is as stable as Mount Tai." This time we received an order from the imperial court to prepare for a big operation, forgive me for not being able to tell you, but I promise you, we will not give up Xihe County, and within a few years, we will come back, and then your Mao family will still be the county of Xihe County. Mao Qing was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Bi was thinking about him so much, and he felt that his loyalty to the imperial court had not been ignored.

After Liu Bi finished talking to Mao Qing, he looked at Lin Yu, Lin Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, all his bargaining capital with the other party was gone, what could he do?

"Master Lin, how do you choose?" Although Liu Bi asked with a smile, anyone could hear the coldness in his words.
