At the place where the northern desert and grassland intersect, there is a large golden tent. At this time, the tent "Tuoba Popotian, you deserve to die, you deserve to die." The person who said this was the real power of the Western Liao Dynasty, the King of Western Liao Dynasty, Tuoba Hongyu.

Time flies, and five days pass by. The people of Western Liao really brought 60,000 war horses to exchange prisoners of war. He is also a trustworthy person. After obtaining the war horses, he immediately released the less than 50,000 prisoners of war in Western Liao. He left three brigades to guard the Shacheng, and took the cavalry battalion and Gong Ming to the mountain city. On the way, Gong Ming asked, "What do you want so many war horses? Do you build cavalry? He received the 60,000 war horses in Western Liao. Now the number of war horses in your hand has exceeded 100,000, right?"

"It's almost the same. It's imperative for me to build a cavalry. You are the military deputy and have been guarding Yuzhou for decades. You will not be unaware of the lethality of cavalry field combat. No matter how strong the infantry field combat ability is, it is not as good as the cavalry. The cavalry's mobility is too strong," he replied.

"But have you ever thought that no matter how strong the cavalry is, it is not as good as the infantry when it is to conquer cities and lands?"

"Haha! It naturally requires infantry to attack cities and land, but where can I attack the city now?"

Gong Ming stroked his beard and thought about it. Liu Yi didn't know the situation in Yuzhou. As a place of exile in the court, Yuzhou did not have so much money to build 100,000 cavalry for him? The money given by the court was getting less and less every year. Yuzhou could support 100,000 infantry, and basically he did all the financial resources of Yuzhou. He hoped that the little money given by the court would not be able to support half of the infantry.

He was silent for a while and told Gong Ming that he did not expect the court to give him money to build 100,000 cavalry. In fact, he had never thought about asking the court for money. He looked up at the sky and reached out to him. A small snowflake fell into his palm. "It's snowing, this year it's over. The Western Liao people have lost more than 110,000 this time, and it's time to calm down for two years. After the New Year, I will prepare to build cavalry and half of the infantry. In the construction of cavalry, more than half of the 100,000 war horses have solved half of the war horses (the war horses given by the Western Liao people, as well as all the captured war horses, plus the original war horses in Yuzhou). The rest are cavalry equipment and infantry equipment, as well as the problem of military source."

"What about the money?" Gong Ming asked.

Money is also a big problem for him, but... as long as the population of Yuzhou recovers, money is not a problem. "As far as I know, Yuzhou now has at least about 200,000 young and strong, right?"

When Gong Ming heard his question, he was shocked, "You don't want to bring the remaining 200,000 young men to join the army, right? No, if this happens, Yuzhou will be really abolished."

Seeing Gong Ming misunderstood his meaning, he could only explain to Gong Ming, "No, how could I bring the only 200,000 strong laborers left in Yuzhou to join the army? What I mean is that after the busy farming, they can be allowed to mine, and we give them wages. Of course, it is not to let them go to mine forever, but just to find a side job for them. In this way, the minerals in Yuzhou will not be abandoned on a large scale and can be used for maximum use. The copper or iron ore they open are not only enough for our Yuzhou to build weapons, but also can take out appropriately. I will be an armament dealer in the past two years and get the financial resources first."

When Gong Ming heard him say this, he was so scared that he shouted, "What? Do you want to resell your arms? The court knows that he wants to behead him."

Seeing Gong Ming's panic, he didn't explain anything to Gong Ming, but just said to Gong Ming: "Let him kill him." Beheading? Will the court kill his head? The court sent him to besieged as a military force, and would he be afraid of a second time? Moreover, Yuzhou has become a place of exile for the court. Will the court still care about what Yuzhou is doing? The court is busy enough in the mainland and surrounding areas. Where can I still have time to care about him selling arms in Yuzhou? He is not Gong Ming. The court

No matter how you treat Yuzhou and Zhenxi Army, Gong Ming could only bear it. Gong Ming was a minister of the Great Wei. No matter how bad the Great Wei treats him, he still regarded himself as a minister of the Great Wei. Liu Yi doesn't think so. Will you bully the minister of the Great Wei? The big guys in your court are human beings, and the people of Yuzhou and Zhenxi Army soldiers are not human beings? What a joke? If your court dares to be the first day of the lunar calendar, I, Liu Yi, dares to be the fifteenth, want me to swallow my anger? Sorry, unless you come and chop me up.

Anyway, Gong Ming also wanted to give him Yuzhou, so why wouldn't he do it in the future? The court did not give money, so he wouldn't let him find a way to make money. Then Yuzhou wouldn't be turned into an uninhabited area in the future? Gong Ming was afraid of offending the court, so he dared to force him? Then he would directly seize Yuzhou. Zhenxihou seizures Shuba and Ba for more than ten years, but the court sent troops to suppress Zhenxihou.

Gong Ming did not ask him what he was going to do in the future, but just asked him where he was going to resell his arms. Of course, he did not hide all his ideas. He told Gong Ming to sell his arms to the desert, which ranged from east to west, south to north and south, hundreds of countries of all sizes, plus several Western powers and the giant in the north, intermittently fought for decades, so the sales of arms were still very large.

Yuzhou was destined to be happy this year, because he and Gong Ming returned to the mountain city and found out that General Gong Tian had passed away. When Gong Ming got the news, he rode on the horse and spit out blood directly, kneeled in front of Gong Tian's coffin and spit out blood again. For a while later, Gong Ming's health was not good, and he lay in bed but did not improve for many days. Because of Gong Tian's funeral and Gong Ming's condition, he was not in a hurry to return to Yuzhou City.

Early this morning, I asked Lu Chi to bring some fruit gifts and go to Gong Mansion to visit Gong Ming. It is not surprising that Gong Ming fell ill. He has been in the army for 40 years and has to rely on him for all major and minor matters in Yuzhou. It is normal for overwork to get sick. Gong Ming is fifty-seven years old this year, and he is already old and has been working hard for many years. Suddenly, he is stimulated by his father's death. It makes people feel strange if he is not ill.

…

When I saw Gong Ming, although he was sitting and lying on the bed, his complexion was still good. It was snowing outside and the temperature in the house was relatively low. Gong Ming asked someone to put a basin of charcoal fire in the house to keep warm. But he still felt that the house was not very warm, so he brought another basin in.

In the room, he used to fiddle with the charcoal in the brazier to make it burn more thoroughly and scatter more heat. Gong Ming sat on the bed and looked at him and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Yeah! I came here after breakfast in the morning."

"Don't go back to the barracks at noon today, stay here to have a meal with me."

"Well, anyway, it's snowing so hard, I won't be able to go back to Yuzhou for a while. There is no training in the military camp at present, and it's okay to go there."

"Okay, I'll let you cook two side dishes at noon, so let's drink less."

"Do you still have to drink if you are like this? Do you think the King of Hell will give you a few more days or what?"

"The King of Hell gives me a few more days to make me drink. If you don't drink some alcohol, wouldn't it waste the King of Hell's kindness?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, I will have to take people back when the snow stops for a few days. I will drink some with you at noon today, but you are only allowed to drink a little, not too much, otherwise I won't drink with you next time I come back."

"Okay, just drink some."

...

Gong Ming likes that he talks to him like this. Forty years, no one has been able to speak so casually like Liu Yi. He is an old man, and has no relatives except his father. Now his father has left, and from now on, he is the only one left in the world. The older he is, the more lonely he will appear, and Gong Ming is no exception. He is actually very lonely, but no one can accompany him to talk well. During these days when he met Liu Yi, Gong Ming was very happy. Some people can talk with him and talk with him. What's more important is that someone can take over the Daliang of Yuzhou to take over his work. God treats him well. When the Qinghuang of Yuzhou is not in charge, he is very grateful to God. Even if the King of Hell wants to take his life away at this time, he will happily close his eyes.

With a successor, he, Gong Ming, has no regrets.

…

During lunch, I drank some wine with Gong Ming. The main reason was that I was worried about Gong Ming's health. Now I am seriously ill in bed, and I am afraid that if I drink too much, my body will be in trouble.

He also understood that Gong Ming and Gong Tian and his son really gave everything to Yuzhou. Gong Tian fought for Yuzhou for his whole life, and Gong Ming took over Gong Tian's stance and guarded Yuzhou for another forty years. He also knew why Gong Ming kept him for dinner, and knew that Gong Ming had never married and had no children in his life. He told him before the Battle of Shacheng that if he defeated Western Liao, he would give him the entire Yuzhou.

At that time, he didn't know why Gong Ming said this. How could Yuzhou, which he had worked hard to defend for the rest of his life, give it to him? Of course, unless Gong Ming was conspiring, he could say that he would hand over Yuzhou to him. When he came to Shancheng to learn about Gong Ming, he believed it. Gong Ming said that he would hand over Yuzhou to him, that was the truth. Gong Ming was old and Gong Ming needed to replace him, but Yuzhou did not have a suitable replacement, so it would be like this. He should be glad that he was sent to him. He had to know that there were a lot of people in the court who wanted this ticket. Gong Ming was reluctant to express his opinion to the court, and he didn't know why Gong Ming didn't want to return Yuzhou to the court. But he understood that Gong Ming was sincere and gave him a great fortune.

It was only after he arrived in the mountain city that it was his appearance that allowed Gong Ming to see the hope of his successor. That's why Gong Ming told him that he would hand over all Yuzhou to him by capturing Shacheng. He was very grateful, really grateful to this old man, which made him less struggling for at least ten years. If he had brought thousands of people to separatist Yuzhou City, he would have probably been suppressed by this old man. The old man's prestige in Yuzhou for forty years could not be compared with him, a young man who had just arrived?

During the meal, Gong Ming told him that when the illness was better, he would immediately submit the court. The appointment of officials of the fifth rank and above in the border prefectures must be reported to the court, regardless of civil and military affairs. If he wanted to sit on the third rank chair with a legitimate meaning, it would not work without the legitimate and report to the court. Regardless of whether the court agreed or not, he would have to settle the position of the third rank military general. Only by becoming the general of Yuzhou can he be one step closer to that position.

Where is that position?

Second-ranked military and political governor of Yuzhou
