Chapter 333 Grassland Capital
Hearing Li Mi's words, the generals couldn't help showing admiration.This is the insight of a high-level view. If it were Zhai Rang, I'm afraid he would never have thought of it in his life.

This is why, at that time, Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji elected Li Mi to replace Zhai Rang as the leader of Wagang Village.

"Then dare to ask Wei Gong, how should we reply Dou Jiande's letter?" Yuan Baozang asked.

Li Mi thought for a while, and said: "Hebei must be stabilized, Dou Jiande must be pacified, and Li Chongjiu must be wooed, so that we can enter the Eastern Capital with peace of mind, and Guhui will write a letter to appease Dou Jiande. Besides, isn't Li Chongjiu a fake governor of Youzhou? I have seized two counties at one time, and the six counties of Youzhou have been fully embraced. I will give him a festival and let him be the real governor of Youzhou. First, to win over Li Chongjiu, and second, Dou Jiande will understand the meaning of loneliness. "

For Li Mi, just two letters and a governor of Youzhou can be exchanged for the stability of Hebei, so why not do it.

"Promise." All the generals agreed together, all admired.But Shan Xiongxin suppressed his joy, and thought: Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, you are really a lucky person.

Just as everyone continued to drink, someone from outside the tent suddenly reported, saying: "Report to Wei Gong, Yu Wenhua and Design, to kill Sima Dekan, Li Ben, Yin Zhengqing and other generals, who have mastered the military power of the Xiaoguo Army. He was leading an army of more than [-] troops to Pengcheng. Because of the impassable waterway, he took the land route and seized [-] people's carts and cattle to prepare for the road. Meng Haigong of Jiyin County and Tongshou Wanggui of Dongjun County all became Yu Wenhua and echo."

Hearing that everyone in Wagang Village was shocked, General Wang Bodang said: "Get the map quickly!"

Li Mi flicked his sleeve robe, and said: "No need, I already know that Jiyin County and Dongjun County are all owned by Yu Wenhua and he will cut off the connection between our Wagang Army and Shandong. Yin County takes Mengjin Ferry, but then crosses the Yellow River and arrives in Hebei, so my foundation is lost."

After everyone heard this, they looked at the map. As Li Mi said, Yu Wenhuaji threatened Li Mi's retreat.

Yu Wenhuaji has three options. If he takes the Eastern Capital as Yu Wenhuaji said, he will return to Guannei.Then Li Mi, who has attacked Dongdu for half a year, will give it up to Yu Wenhuaji.

If Yu Wenhuaji crosses the Yellow River, then Li Mi will be lost in the five counties of Hebei.

If Yu Wenhuaji goes to Shandong, then Shandong Qunhao will follow the example of Meng Haigong, such as Xu Yuanlang, Liu Badao, and Wang Bowan. If they turn their backs on the Wagang Army and subdue Yu Wenhuaji, then the Wagang Army’s influence in Shandong will be wiped out live.

So no matter which of Yuhuahua and the next three choices, Li Mi is very passive.

What should I do next?

All the generals were helpless.

Li Mi was also pacing. What he thought of at this moment was not Yu Wenhuaji, but he suddenly remembered that he happened to meet Li Chongjiu in the restaurant when he was at the White Horse Temple.

At that time, the two talked freely, and Li Chongjiu said that he knew the general trend of the world.But I still secretly ridiculed, but remembering the words that persuaded myself to go to Hebei and Shandong first, and then to compete in the Eastern Capital, could it be that he was unpredictable and predicted his situation today in advance.

Impossible, the other party was just a commoner at that time, and I was still under Yang Xuangan's command at that time, planning for him.

But now that Li Chongjiu is the governor of Youzhou, and he is also the leader of the Wagang Army, could it be that the other party had expected the situation today?

Thinking of this, Li Mi suddenly stopped. Who is this Li Chongjiu?Could it be possible to use the art of gods and ghosts?If he had listened to Li Chongjiu's words early on, and instead of fighting for the Eastern Capital, he would have gone to Hebei first, then how could he be in today's predicament.

What are the gods and gods talking about, how can there be people who are unpredictable and prophetic in the world, Li Chongjiu just said it by coincidence, and it just happened to be right for him.Yu Wenhuaji is here now, how can it be so hard to get me, Li Mi, I have come through so many storms, I will never stop here.

Li Mi immediately raised his feather fan and said: "Send down the order to remove the siege of Dongdu!"

"But our army has been encircling it for half a year, and we are about to succeed!"

"Don't say any more, I've made up my mind!" Li Mi said decisively, "Send another person to the Eastern Capital to inquire about the news of the imperial court. I expect the emperor to die in Jiangdu, but the clan can't be left alone, there must be movement in the Eastern Capital! "
Yuyi Town.

This former military town, the modern grassland new capital, is already glowing with new spring.

Camel caravans from the north came to the city without end.The camel bells rang, and on the high humps of the camels, sheepskins, cowhide, mink skins, mizusaki skins, kumiss, milk lumps, medicinal materials, etc. were transported to the gate of the grass market, ready to enter the city.

The three-foot rammed loess city wall stands tall, and above the battle shed, there are teams of soldiers carrying crossbows and holding long guns, patrolling back and forth.Ballistas, catapults and other defensive equipment are all covered with cloth to shock the restless people.

In front of the city gate, there are several groups of cavalry patrolling. The gate of the city gate is closed tightly, while the left and right auxiliary gates are open, allowing people to enter from the left and exit from the right.Now both inside and outside the city gates are full of caravans who want to leave or enter the city.

The caravans formed a long file, camel by camel.

The guards at the city gate were checked one by one among the caravan.One is to investigate whether there are prohibited items, and the other is to register the goods sold. After the store tax is abolished in Yuyi Town, merchants do not need to go out of the city to pay. All right.
After entering the city gate, the caravans each found a familiar inn to stay in. If it was a large caravan, it would usually be in Yuyi Town, and there would be a semicolon, or the head office, and the goods could be shipped directly to the head office.

The small caravan must stay at the inn and wait for the opportunity of the morning market tomorrow to sell the goods to local merchants or directly to the common people.

On the Chengbei Street in Yuyi Town, there is now an inn in a row. At the beginning, Li Chongjiu proposed to Lin Dangfeng to build it in Yuyi Town. The one-stop service of bathhouse, inn, casino, brothel, and restaurant has been formed.

The Lin family's business name is already the leading chamber of commerce in Yuyi Town, Xinjian Caoshi.The three-story Lin Family Restaurant stands proudly in the most prosperous place.

If you don't do business, how about a day trip to Yuyi Town as a fan man?

The first is to go to Lin's Restaurant at noon to fill my stomach.This Lin's restaurant is the largest restaurant in the city. There are chefs from Western Regions, Han Chinese, and Fanren. You can find all kinds of tastes you want here.

The lobby on the first floor is eaten by ordinary diners, but it is already very expensive. A table costs at least a hundred dollars or more per person. People are worth hundreds of dollars, even thousands of dollars are not ambiguous.

After filling my stomach and eating delicacies from all over the world, I came to the inn next to the restaurant and settled down to salute.

This is a large inn that can accommodate thousands of people. Here you can meet Japanese Western Regions, Mobei, Grassland, Liaodong, Goguryeo, and caravans with accents from various places staying here.It's just that there is a lot of money here overnight, so the people who live here must be rich and powerful chambers of commerce.

Here you can drink tea, drink wine, salute, someone will arrange for you, and you can also send a waiter to run errands and deliver letters for you. If you don’t spare money, you can live in a single-door house with four servants and maids to serve you.

After finishing the salute, it is time to wash off the dust of the journey.

Next to the restaurant and the inn, there is a bathhouse that can accommodate a hundred people to bathe.Hot water is burning in the bathhouse every day, and the door is not closed at twelve hours a day.

The pools are dug directly into the ground, and then connected to the ground dragon, so that there are not only large pools that can accommodate more than 30 people for mixed bathing, but also small pools for two or three people to discuss business quietly, as well as single-person bathtubs.

You are in the warm pool, wash your body that has not been washed for more than half a month, rub the old mud, and finally invite a masseur to relax your muscles and bones, and then eat some almond cake, and you will be exhausted.

Such a leisurely life, I really don't know the years, but as a foreigner, the excitement at night is just the beginning.

In the evening, or in the evening, one would go to Yuyi Town's most famous brothel, Feiyuelou, which was opened by the Lin family.

Among them, the beauties come from all corners of the country, including the exotic orchids from the Western Regions with blue eyes and high noses, as well as the Turkic, Khitan, and Xi tribes on the grasslands, the passionate Hu girls, the gentle Goguryeo women, and the Han women from Youzhou. There are also beauties from Jiangnan, you can find all kinds of women in it.

The girls here in Feiyue Tower come here voluntarily, and it is also the principle of showing off their skills but not their bodies. If you want to win a girl's heart, you have to use your own means, because more people come here for fame.

There are rumors in the grassland that you must go to Feiyue Tower, otherwise you will regret it as a man's words, which attracts everyone's yearning.After Scarlet Moon Tower,

This is the style and appearance of Yuyi Town, the capital of grassland. Li Chongjiu stood on the top of Dahong City and looked at the grass market in Yuyi Town, which was already very lively.Even he couldn't help but feel ready to move, thinking of temporarily leaving his wife and children behind to have fun for a night.

However, the plan I gave Lin Dangfeng at the beginning has now been realized. Now with my support, the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce has become the chief chamber of commerce in the grassland, and there are more than a dozen small caravans.

Now whether it is Yuyi Town or Huaihuang Town, for Li Chongjiu, they are making money every day and becoming the trade center between the grassland and the Han.

When Li Chongjiu returned to Yuyi Town this time, he was supposed to sneak a look at his wife and children, but in Dahong City, he was blocked by the heads of various tribes of the Fan clan who came to congratulate him.

Whether it is Ying Hefu, Er Tuo and other Fanjun generals, as well as the elders of Shi Dexi, as well as the various chambers of commerce in Huaihuang Town and Yuyi Town, although they came to congratulate Li Chongjiu for giving birth to a son, they are all euphemistic. It is suggested that the Khan Court be moved to Yuyi Town, where Li Chongjiu will be set up as the seat of the Great Khanate across the grasslands in the future, and at the same time, Deyun will be established as the main wife.
For Li Chongjiu, although Yuyi Town is prosperous, his center of gravity will still be in the Central Plains in the future. If the government is set up here, it will run counter to his plan to enter the Central Plains, so he will not take it.

Li Chongjiu immediately shelved the matter and did not put it on the agenda for the time being.At the same time, he also received a letter from Li Mi urging him to be the governor of Youzhou.
