Chapter 228 Conquering Liaoxi Mohe
Seeing that his father had been silent for a long time, Wu Gunai couldn't help but said: "Brother Li, my tribe is going to join the Khanate, do you agree or not?"

Tudiji listened to Ugunai's words, looked at the top of the big tent, sat down from the chair again and did not speak.Li Chongjiu glanced at Wu Gunai, and thought that his son was much more courageous than his father.

Li Chongjiu said nothing, but looked at Tudiji.Tudiji took a deep breath and said, "What Ugunai means is the meaning of our whole clan, what do you think the king thinks?"

Li Chongjiu stood up immediately and said: "Since the Khan entrusted all the tribes to me, I will never dare to take responsibility!"

After hearing Li Chongjiu's words, everyone nodded their heads and let go of their worries.Tudiji said with shame on his face: "As the head of the clan, I am not helpful to the clansmen at all. If this is the case, from now on, I will obey Khan's orders in Mohe, western Liaoning."

Li Chongjiu looked calm, but he was overjoyed in his heart. At this moment, he finally conquered Liaoxi Mohe.At that moment, Li Chongjiu said to Tudiji: "Patriarch, please let my subordinates come in!"

"Promise." Tudiji spoke to Li Chongjiu as a subordinate.

Not long after, he put his forehead inside, clasped his fists and asked Li Chongjiu, "Khan, what's your order?"

Li Chongjiu said: "Tongjun Ertuo obeys orders, you immediately mobilize all the young and strong under the tent, come here within three days, and join the Mohe Ministry, and you will not be killed if you are late."

Er Tuo was overjoyed when he heard that, knowing that Li Chongjiu had conquered the Mohe tribe in western Liaoning, he said immediately: "No, Khan."
Hearing that Li Chongjiu mobilized the Xi Department to come to rescue him, Tu Diji, Wu Gunai and the others looked overjoyed.Tudiji said: "If we stick to it for three days, we will be able to resist Luo Yi's army."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "There is no need to fight, we just tricked Luo Yi to make peace."

That night, in Tudiji, Wu Gunai led Mohe soldiers to prepare for the battle, and at the same time sent envoys to ask Luo Yi for peace, declaring that he was willing to surrender.The envoy returned to the camp that day and said that Luo Yi thought that Mohe was timid when he saw his army gathered, so he voluntarily surrendered, so he didn't doubt it, but asked the Mohe people to hand over the man who shot and killed him yesterday.

The envoys from the two sides here came to discuss the details, and everything went well. As a result, the next night, Luo Yi suddenly led Qingqi across the river to attack the Mohe army camp at night. Unexpectedly, after Luo Yi's army entered, they found that it was an empty space. camp.It turned out that Li Chongjiu left the camp early that night with the Mohe people. Seeing Luo Yi attacking the camp, Fang'er set fires on all sides to burn the mountain.

Luo Yi, who originally thought that everything was in his own calculations, led the army to retreat in embarrassment.The fire burned all night, when Luo Yi was about to lead the army to fight again the next day, the detective cavalry reported that a large group of Xiren cavalry had arrived from the pasture of the Xi clan to support the Mohe people.Luo Yi didn't know the enemy's situation, so he withdrew his troops and returned to Liucheng.After Luo Yi withdrew his troops, the Mohe people kept their old land and would not move for hundreds of miles, and Li Chongjiu pushed his power deep into Liaoxi County because of this.

After Tudiji was attached to Li Chongjiu, he told the current situation in Liaoxi County even more, without reservation.

This Liaoxi County was originally the land of Longxing of the Murong tribe of Xianbei, and the people who lived there were originally Murong tribe and Duan tribe of Xianbei.After the Murong Department annexed the Duan Department, three generations of Yan State were successively established in this Liaoxi County. In the last generation of Beiyan, Wei Taiwu Emperor attacked Beiyan and fought hard here in Liaoxi.This battle was also the final duel between the Tuoba tribe and the Murong tribe of Xianbei in the North and South Koreas.

In the end, Emperor Taiwu of Wei took Yandu Longcheng, and finally destroyed Beiyan.Emperor Taiwu of the Later Wei Dynasty led his troops back to the west, and moved [-] households in Yingqiu, Chengzhou, Liaodong, Lelang, Daifang, and Xuantuliu counties to Youzhou.Hearing what Tudiji said, Li Chongjiu remembered that in Jin Yong's novels, Gusu Nan Murong was still determined to restore the country, and the name of Murong Fu's ancestor, Murong Longcheng, came from Yandu Longcheng.

But for Er Tuo, it was another sigh. Li Chongjiu asked and found out that when the Wuhu invaded the south, the Xianbei made a large-scale southward move. The Xianbei people stayed in their old place and did not want to go to the Central Plains.And Ertuo is the Xianbei survivors who stayed in their hometown after Xianbei moved inward, and they came from the Murong tribe of Xianbei.Li Chongjiu also understood that most of the tribal chiefs of the Xi and Khitan tribes came from the Yuwen tribe of Xianbei, and the Murong tribe and Duan tribe were all from the Eastern Xianbei.

Tudiji continued to say that later, western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning gradually became barren. In the Sui Dynasty, two generations of emperors wanted to attack Goguryeo, so they paid more attention to the defense of border counties.The imperial court built Yingzhou Avenue to supply military rations to Huaiyuan Town.When Emperor Sui Yang conquered Goguryeo, he also led an army of one million to Liaodong County on Yingzhou Avenue.

However, the population of Liaoxi County is still underdeveloped. There are less than [-] registered households in the entire county, which is not as good as the population of a county in the interior.As for the original building in the White Wolf River Valley, the Dragon City, the place where the Murong tribe flourished, had already been abandoned in the flames of war.Now the county of Liaoxi County under the jurisdiction of General Luo Yi lies in Liucheng, south of Longcheng.Liucheng is the throat of the inland to Liaodong at this time, which is equivalent to the Shanhaiguan in the West Liao Corridor in later generations, and it is now the only city in Liaoxi County.

In Liaoxi County, apart from some Han people, there are mainly Mohe and Dingling tribes, and the rest are Xi people who occasionally cross the border to graze, and Khitan people.The Dingling tribe in Liaoxi County has been Sinicized and attached to Luo Yi on the surface, but in fact they are still neutral.

Liaoxi Mohe in Tudiji controls about one-third, and Ding Lingren controls the other third. As for Luo Yi, he only controls Liucheng and a few key points on Yingzhou Avenue. As for Lulong County in Beiping County, this Dacheng is the current state capital of Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou who owns three counties.

After listening to the other party, Li Chongjiu immediately asked Etuo to lead three thousand tents to go south to graze with the pastures near Liaoxi County, and to support each other with Liaoxi Mohe.At the same time, he was also wary of Luo Yi and the Khitan, because the Khitan had been greedy for Liaoxi County for a long time. During the Daye period, when Liaoxi County was called Yingzhou, the Dahe Mohui led the Khitans to invade this place several times.

The current Liaoxi Mohe is only short of the strength of nearly ten thousand tents. At present, Li Chongjiu has not obtained the consent of the Khanate Council of Elders to let Tudiji be the fifth commander of the Khanate. As for the army leader, the banner owner will not be appointed for the time being.You must know that as the leader of Liaoxi Mohe, the power of Tudiji is also restricted by the elders and shamans in the clan, but his sons have already separated into their own tribes, so their appeal is better than that of Li Chongjiu in the Khanate Strong in the middle.

After hearing the news that Luo Yi had returned to Liucheng County, Li Chongjiu breathed a sigh of relief from Luo Yi's anxiety of pulling out his teeth.Although it was regarded as offending Luo Yi, a hero, he finally incorporated Liaoxi Mohe into his account, adding thousands of Mohe fighters to his service.At present, Li Chongjiu asked Tudiji to build a city in Liaoxi County for self-defense.

For Tudiji, he had had this idea for a long time, but the imperial court had always refused to build the city by themselves because of the power of the Yu Mohe people.And Li Chongjiu, Etuo and other personal guards returned to the dam accompanied by a hundred Mohe warriors, and Tudiji's two sons who were less than ten years old. They said that Li Chongjiu was brought to Huaihuang Town to learn Confucianism, In fact, it was also a hostage that Tudiji voluntarily handed over.
After Li Chongjiu returned to the dam, he learned that the elders of the Khanate had reached a peace agreement with the two tribes of the Xi tribe, the Khitan, and the Turks without going through their own channels.The condition is that the Shide Khanate will cut the name of the Khanate itself, and Shi Defeng will accept the post of Qijin granted by Shibi Khan to show his submission to the Turks, while Li Chongjiu will continue to claim his illness and self-cultivation. [-] sheep, [-] horses, and [-] silks.This decision aroused the indignation of the four major armies and many clan generals towards these elders, and even drove them to take refuge in Li Chongjiu's side.

Although Li Chongjiu has lost the power of the Khan on the surface, he actually has all the military power of the Khanate in his hands, and his power in the Khanate is even higher than that of the nameless Khan.Of course, the Presbyterian Church's traitorous pursuit of glory is not useless. With this respite, the newly born Shi Dexi tribe temporarily avoids the crisis of being attacked by the Turks, the Xi clan, and the Khitan.Li Chongjiu simply ignored the affairs of the Khanate and returned directly to Yuyi Town. At this time, the elders had decided to move the Khan Court from Yuyi Town and build it on the Mulan Dam.

There are more than 3000 tents in this new khan court, and there are thousands of soldiers standing there. The elders even moved their families and relatives here.

Shi Defeng accepted the canonization of Qi Jin from the Turks in the khan court of the Bashang Grassland. The other four tribes of the Xi clan, Khitan and Qi, sent people to congratulate them. The five ministries still unanimously recognized the Hunhe royal tribe as the leader of the Xi clan alliance.And Shi Defeng secretly rushed to Yuyi Town to discuss with Li Chongjiu secretly all night the day after he was canonized, and only left the next day.
In Yuyi Town, Li Chongjiu, Li Hu and his father were lying in a large bathtub to take a bath. Two young girls from the Xi nationality, who were twenty or eight years old, poured water for them and kneaded their shoulders.

Surrounded by steam, Li Chongjiu enjoyed the massage with the soft hands of the girl from the Xi nationality, and swept away the fatigue of many days. At the same time, he also chatted with Li Hu about the matter of conquering the Mohe tribe in western Liaoning.Li Hu was very happy to hear that, and he also mentioned the matter of Yuyi Town for nearly a month to Li Chongjiu.

Mainly under the leadership of the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce, more than a dozen chambers of commerce have opened new branches in Caoshi. A bathhouse that can accommodate a hundred people, a good-grade brothel, a casino, and a bank, and the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce's cloth store, whip store, winery, salt store, leather store, and clothing store are all located around.

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu remembered that this was the plan he had mentioned to Lin Dangfeng at the beginning.The original intention is the rudiment of a modern large-scale commercial center, a gathering place for eating, drinking and having fun, which is convenient for merchants and residents, as well as those tribal leaders on the grassland who come here to sell gold.
