Chapter 219
After spending a whole day inspecting the farming, Li Chongjiu returned to Huaihuang Town. In the evening, the wheels of a car in the distance sounded, and another convoy of Hu people was moving from the distant grasslands to the vicinity of Huaihuang Town to set up camps and prepare for the market. .

Seeing the little sparks in the distance, Zhou Xu, Liu Yi, and Ji Chuan were all filled with pride.Huaihuang Town was opened in such a hurry when it opened, and the desolation of the surrounding fields can no longer be seen now.There are only Hu merchants outside the city, and the Hu tribe has more than 6000 people, and the population of the people in the city is close to [-]. There are three religions and nine streams, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, which is about to reach the standard of a county in the Sui Dynasty.

When Li Chongjiu saw the scene, he was even more worried about the future war in Huaihuang Town. If the war happened together, the good situation that was so easy to manage would be destroyed.Right now there is no better way, so Li Chongjiu decided to open another grass market in Yuyi Town within this year. Firstly, Yuyi Town is farther away from Turks and closer to Wuhou Qinshui, and secondly, this is also a plan to divide peaches.

At the same time, Li Chongjiu also ordered Tanzong to set up ten more beacon towers around Huaihuang Town. Ten soldiers were stationed in each beacon tower. When the enemy strikes, you don't have to stick to it and you can retreat quickly.In addition, Li Chongjiu also strengthened the defense of Huaihuang Town, increasing the garrison from 1000 to 500.Tanzong could recruit soldiers from the nearby Hu tribes, choose Fan soldiers who had been stationed in Huaihuang Town for more than a year, and the Han people as the army.
Just setting up beacon towers, just increasing the warning time and increasing the garrison, is insignificant for the 20 Turkic cavalry.Of course, the southward migration of the Turkic Khan Court also required a process of adjustment and adaptation. Li Chongjiu thought that he had to think of other ways to avoid the Turkic attack on Huaihuang Town.

After resting in Huaihuang Town for three days, it was considered as reuniting the Han soldiers with their families. After that, Li Chongjiu led the army back to Yuyi Town.After more than half a year, although there was a period of rest due to the heavy snow, the Gaoshan Fort and Jiulian Fort near Yuyi Town have been built. Including the main city Dahong City, the defense system of Yuyi Town has become like an iron wall.

On the Wubao, soldiers are guarding with spears, and the yellow rammed earth fortress stands like hills rising from the grassland.

This scene made Li Chongjiu relax a little from his tense nerves because of the possible upcoming war, and the Fanjun cavalry who followed Li Chongjiu burst into cheers when they saw Yuyi Town, because they finally went home , This time they went to the Central Plains and they all gained a lot. After returning to the tribe, they can let their wives and children share their joy.Shidebuyuan Tengjin and the elders of the Khanate had already welcomed Li Chongjiu's triumphant army outside Yuyi Town.Li Chongjiu had just dismounted, Shi Deyun, and Pingping hugged themselves tightly from left to right.
After talking about the feeling of not coming here, Li Chongjiu immediately asked: "What are the movements of the Mohefu tribe and the Qijia tribe?"

All the elders were silent after hearing this.Great Elder Ku Mo said: "Khan, it's better to discuss after entering the big tent."

Li Chongjiu understood, and immediately took the forehead rest, Yinghefu and the others entered the account to discuss with everyone, Kumo said: "The envoys of the Mohefu Department and the Qijia Department have stayed near the tent and discussed with us. It's been a few days."

"Then what are the terms of the negotiation?"

Cuomo said: "If we want us to cut the Khan position, give up the title of Khan, and still call it a catty, and at the same time donate [-] sheep, [-] horses, and [-] female slaves, what does Khan think?"

Li Chongjiu asked back: "Then what if I feel bad?"

Another elder with a white beard said: "As usual, the Khan did not allow it. The Mohefu tribe and the Qijia tribe said that they would send troops together with the Turks and Khitans to attack us from three sides."

Forehead, Yinghefu was furious when he heard about it.Etuo said: "The Mohefu tribe and the Qiyan tribe dare to threaten us. Tell them, only the decapitated Shide ridiculed people, and the Shide who did not surrender, just fight."

"That's right," Yinghofer said with a less agitated expression, but his tone was very firm, "We have just cut off our khanate in Wuhou Qinshui, and we will become a giant on the grassland in the future. joke."
An elder said: "The two generals are very brave. Of course we know that, but we have just conquered the old land, and the khanate is only [-] accounts. Rui, if you don’t use swords and weapons, any one of them must have at least [-] tents in strength, if you are not inferior to us, how can you fight?”

Li Chongjiu looked at the elder and asked, "What is the attitude of the Mukun tribe and the humiliating King tribe?"

The elder said: "Qijin, the Qiuli Han, doesn't like to see clansmen fighting and killing each other in our Xi people, so I always hope that our three tribes can make peace and fight against Turks and Khitan together. Humiliate the royal tribe They have always been very negligent towards us, but this time the Mohefu tribe and the Qiyan tribe dared to provoke us. In addition to the support of the Turkic people behind them, Tengjin from the humiliating king tribe also acquiesced to them."

"Among the five tribes of our Xi clan, the tribe of the King of Hunhe is the strongest, with a force of [-] to [-] tents. It is impossible for us to be enemies with them."

After the analysis by these elders, Cuomo said: "Our elders agreed that if the Mohefu tribe, the Qilan tribe, united the Turks, and the Khitan, we would not be opponents at all, so we decided to agree to cut Khan ourselves first. conditions, but we can try to give less cattle, sheep and horses. Now the envoys of the two ministries are waiting for our final reply."

After the elders finished speaking, all the generals were furious, even Yan Yeli, and Sun Erniang were also furious.Er Tuo said immediately: "This is your own decision. I don't agree with it. Even if it is a unanimous decision of the elders, it must be approved by our four commanders. But have you asked us what we mean?"

An elder said coldly: "What do you mean? Your four major armies are still helping the Khan in looting in the Han area. Where is the time to care about the life and death of our tribe? Having secured a few envoys, I am afraid that by now you will wrap our corpses together in a tree!"

Li Chongjiu suddenly realized that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was actually aimed at Pei Gong at this meeting, and the elders actually used this peace talk to express to him that they had used troops against Song Jingang this time, but in the end they did not listen to the elders' order to send troops back to the grassland Dissatisfaction with things.They may want to use this to curtail their own rights, who said that grassland people will only go straight.

Ji County, Liyang County.

At the Yellow River Ferry in Baimajin, a man with a crane cloak and a lupine in his hand is looking at the turbid Yellow River flowing down the river valley.

A general strode up the mountain, cupped his fists and said: "Pu Shangong, the soldiers who raped the women in Liyang City have been found."

"Did you kill it?" the man asked.

"Report, Pu Shangong, not yet."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Our officers and soldiers had tracked down the traitor and were about to arrest him, but he fled into Uncle Zhai's mansion. Uncle Zhai said that the man was his family general, who followed him through life and death, and made contributions to Wagang Village , so what if you just play with a woman."

Li Mi rolled his eyes, and said: "I have issued the military order not to rape prostitutes. These people know the law and break the law. You are so timid, don't you know that it is my Pushan government camp, and I, Li Mi, who are losing face?"

The general knelt down with a puff, and said: "Yes, the last general said the same thing, but Uncle Zhai said that military orders depend on talents. If it wasn't for Zhai Dazhai who brought you into Wagang Village, where would there be Pushan Public Camp?" Today. I came to arrest him right now because I wanted to piss on the Zhai family. So he refused us to enter the mansion to arrest people, and even said that if we really wanted to arrest people, he would ask Pu Shangong to go and pick them up in person .”

Li Mi turned his head, snorted coldly and said: "I really think of myself as a character. You take me a battalion of soldiers and go directly to the house to arrest people. Anyone who resists will be arrested. After arresting people, they will be arrested on the spot Beheaded, hang the head to the city gate to appease the people, and after you return to the camp, you can go and collect ten army sticks yourself, my military order of the Pushan public camp is like a mountain, and will never be changed, how can you shrink back and ask me what I mean because of what the other party said."

"No." The general's head was dripping with sweat.

Li Mi finally waved his hand and said: "But I will explain to Zhai Dazhai's side, kill someone and come back and be punished!"

"promise."

"A grass bandit is a grass bandit, so what if he becomes the emperor, he will be crowned with a monkey, and he will never get rid of his gangster spirit." Fang Yanzao, Li Mi's aide, said coldly.

Li Mi shook his head, and said: "You can't say that, Mr. Zhai is a hero in his family, but his eldest brother is too disappointing, so let's teach him slowly."

"Teaching requires learning. You see, Zhai Hong only knows how to think with the things in his crotch all day long. He has already married eleven daughters-in-law in the first half of the five counties, let alone his family. General, when conquering a city, the first thing you think about is to change your wife. This has not won the world yet, it is the same as winning the world. These people are not as good as Dou Jiande, they are not good enough to plan big things. I don’t want to be without you, Mi Gong Planning, where is Wagang Village today."

When Li Mi saw Wei Zheng from a distance, Zu Junyan came over, waved his hands and said, "Master Zhai is still a person who understands the case, so there is no need to talk about it."

"See Pu Shangong, I don't know why you want us to come." Wei Zheng and Zu Junyan saluted together.

Li Mi nodded, and said: "It was hard for you to go to Shanggu for a while ago, Zujishi, I want to use your literary talents to write an essay."

"Words?" Zu Junyan said, "This is a matter of humble duty. I don't know if Pu Shangong wants to recruit, or announce, or seek thieves?"

Li Mi said: "I want to punish the faint king!"

As soon as Li Mi said this, everyone raised their heads.Li Mi looked at the turbidity of the Yellow River, and said: "The evil of the faint king is more turbid than the water of the Yellow River, and the bamboos in the Nanshan Mountains are so full that it is difficult to write. This article is "Li Mi's Luozhou Wen" (Note [-]), leading an army to cross for me. Cross the Yellow River, attack Luoyang, and take the lead!"

Note [-]: It is Li Mi's call to Luozhou, which was drafted by Zu Junyan and is one of the three major calls in history
