At dawn, Ling Yun got up from the beauty with the sound of drums and horns. These days, the drums sounded on time in Huaihuanglian City every morning, and they were a little uncomfortable at first. Many minions didn't even care and did not take the drums seriously. As a result, after the three-way drum sounded, there were no less than 800 people who did not arrive outside the city on time, but Ling Yun had no idea of ​​not ruling the public. With a command, more than 800 minions who missed the point were all taken by the heads of the main team who were inspecting and enforcing the law, and lay a piece of their trousers on the grass outside the city, revealing a dazzling butt, and then they were beaten with twenty military staff as public sticks. After the beating, Ling Yun directly deducted the food and salary of more than 800 people and then rewarded 100 yuan to each of the other people who arrived on time.

The next day, there were still mistakes, but there were less than a hundred people. Ling Yun was still merciless, and this time he increased the responsibility of the war, each with thirty military sticks.

On the third day, after the first drum beat, the school grounds outside the city were already full of people, and no one dared to miss it. As well, every morning, when the drum beats, the rest of the people in Huaihuang City also got up one after another to start a new day.

Qinglian thoughtfully combs Ling Yun's hair and dresses, while Mulan prepares towels to wash her face and green salt to brush her teeth. If it weren't for the sound of running in a queue and running in a row outside at this time, Ling Yun really thought that such a life would be really good.

"Xuancheng is early, have you eaten breakfast? Have you eaten together." As soon as he finished washing, Ling Yun saw that Wei Zheng was already waiting under the peach tree in the front yard.

"Not yet." Wei Zheng smiled, holding a note in his hand. "Xu Gai Cheng Lou and seven others have come here, waiting for you."

Ling Yun nodded, "Yes. They were going to talk to me yesterday. I didn't have time yesterday, so I asked them to come to me today. I didn't expect them to come so early. Alas, forget it, Qinglian, you can prepare more breakfast later. Let's send it to Baihutai, everyone will have breakfast while talking."

When they arrived at the Baihutai, Xu Gai, Shan Xiongxin, Su Yong, Cheng Lou, Zhai Rang and other seven people had been waiting for a long time.

Shan Xiongxin saw Ling Yun and walked forward with a smile and said, "Sanlang is now **. He doesn't want to get up early."

"You got up early. Now it's only the hour of Mao. You see, it's not yet bright." Ling Yun smiled bitterly. The ancients went to bed early at night. They naturally got up early in the morning. Often, they got up just a little dawn. In the morning of the army, the Mao was from 5:00 to 7:00 in the morning. They had to call each other at five o'clock, so they could tell how early they got up.

"Everyone hasn't used it before, so I have asked someone to prepare more and use it together."

Xu Gai smiled and sat down, "I know that there are always delicious snacks here in Sanlang. We all came over with empty stomachs. Eating breakfast on the White Tiger Platform and watching the soldiers practice. It feels a different feeling."

The White Tiger Platform is built to imitate the bronze bird platform in Yecheng, Cao Wei, Three Kingdoms, and is completely imitated by the table-type architectural model from the Qin and Han Dynasties. This White Tiger Platform is ten feet long and has five floors on the platform, twenty-seven feet high above the ground. Although this is a Han ruler, it is still about sixty meters high. On the top floor, it is built with a silver-painted white tiger of 180 feet long, so it is called the White Tiger Platform.

This landmark building in Huaihuang Town stands on the fifth floor and offers a bird's eye view of the twenty miles inside and outside Huaihuang City. This high platform is not only a perfect location for viewing the scenery, but also has a strong military role. The White Tiger Platform is built in the inner castle in the north of Zhongcheng City in Sanlian City. The northern end of the Zhongcheng City is the inner castle, and the northern end of the inner castle is the Baihu Platform. Zhongcheng, the inner castle and the Baihu Platform share a city wall, and this northern city is extremely strong. If Huaihuang City is besieged, the White Tiger Platform is a commanding platform, commanding with high command, shaking flags and orders, and can also place heavy equipment such as stone casting cars on the platform to deal with the besieged troops from a high place.

Qinglian Mulan gave her breakfast, and Xu Gai and others immediately surrounded her without caring about the image. They opened the food box and there were baskets of big buns in it, "Why are they buns today? This is too ordinary. Everyone said that your Sanlang's breakfast is not repeated every day, and it is delicious in the world. I think it is a bit exaggerated." Xu Gai said as he picked up a bun, which was bigger than ordinary buns, and the skin felt crystal clear. As he said, he picked it up and put it in his mouth and took a big bite.

"Oh hey!" As soon as he whispered, Xu Gai screamed.

Ling Yun just stretched out his hand and was about to stop him. It was too late, so he could only laugh: "Brother Xu is too impatient. I'm about to tell you that this is a crab roe soup bun. You didn't see the skin as thin as paper and it was broken. The filling is crab roe and crab meat, and the soup is original chicken soup. It is said that this is a delicious dish passed down from the Three Kingdoms. This soup bun is also unique. You have to use a reed tube to poke a little skin and insert it into it and drink the soup first, and then eat the skin. Remember not to grab it with your hands. Once you grab it, you will definitely sprinkle a piece of soup. Brother Xu's previous lessons, please remember."

Xu Gai sprinkled the soup. After hearing the introduction, he didn't care about changing his clothes. When he saw that there were a few hollow reed tubes next to him, he quickly took one, took another soup bag and poked it as Ling Yun said and sucked it. It turned out that there was such a way to eat this steamed cake. It turned out that the big meat buns made by Ling Yun were already delicious enough, but he didn't expect that the soup buns were even better.

Cheng Lou, Shan Xiongxin and others were not much better at eating. A group of people swept the wind and ate all the buns in an instant. Shan Xiongxin wiped his mouth and slapped it, "San brother, are there any more? I'll pack a basket for me later and take it back to compensate Yingying, Ailian and your brother and sister."

"Pack some for me, too." The other people spoke in unison.

"Everyone has them. I made a lot of them yesterday. You just won't come here now. I originally wanted to send them to you later." Ling Yun said with a smile, "Okay, I've eaten the soup buns, so it's time to talk about the serious matter."

Shan Xiongxin was having a lot of fun while pinching the soup and vinegar, and said without raising his head: "You talk to Mr. Xu about this, I just came to make up the numbers and eat something."

Ling Yun actually guessed in his heart what they were going to talk about. They followed Ling Yun from Henan to the frontier, and brought a large group of people and even many commodities, so naturally they didn't just come for sightseeing. To put it bluntly, they were going to open up the market and invest. But they had been here with Ling Yun for a few days. Ling Yun has been busy with the affairs of the alliance and has not had time to discuss these with them. Now, they have handed over most of their servants and entourages to Ling Yun. They even secretly transferred a large number of military horses and weapons from the workshop in Hebei and Henan at Ling Yun's request. These were all real efforts. After a long time, they naturally became anxious to see the reward.

Xu Gai wiped his beard full of Tang Ji. He chuckled, "That's right. We went north this time and brought a lot of craftsmen. I don't think we can't be idle all the time. Just so happen, Sanlang, you are going to fight with the people of Mobei, and you also need weapons and arrows. I think, should you help us pull up the piece of the place first? Let's get this weapons workshop started."

Xu Gai said it as soon as he said it was very skillful. He just said he wanted to open an armour shop or to help Ling Yun fight. However, Ling Yun knew the meaning of the elegant meaning when he heard the song and knew his true meaning. Ling Yun had already obtained 20% of the arms dealings between Xu Dan and the seven families. Now that they have brought the team over, they will naturally enter the substantial stage. To be honest, these people are actually very friends. Ling Yun's cavalry in the tent and infantry outside the tent. A total of 2,400 horses were found. Especially the eight hundred cavalry, of which the King of Jin was 300, and the Gao family had 200 private soldiers. Ling Yun secretly transferred 100 cavalry from the Baima Hall. The remaining 200 cavalry were accompanied by servants lent to Xu Gai and several other rich people. Personnel alone was nothing. The most important thing for a cavalry was not a knight, but a war horse.

Although this place is outside the Great Wall and there is no shortage of horses, war horses are not ordinary horses. Not only do they require horses with excellent endurance and explosive power, but more importantly, they need well-trained war horses. An ordinary horse and a well-trained war horse are like an ordinary young and strong citizen, which is as different as a well-trained guard. You can't call a war horse or a soldier who is a casual match.

Lingyun's eight hundred cavalry was transferred from his Hebei ranch to supplement the difference, ensuring that everyone was equipped with excellent war horses trained by these eight hundred cavalry. In addition, the differences between the various flags, horns, weapons and armor needed by Lingyun and the 1,66-investors who assisted the cavalry were also provided by them.

This favor is huge and absolutely impossible to be free.

The more they put in him, the more they actually hope to get from him.

"Of course there is no problem in building an armour workshop!" Ling Yun nodded and rubbed the teacup in his hand. "The construction of an armour workshop can be handled immediately. If you are willing, you can build an armour workshop in Huaihuang City. I can pull up a piece of land for you." A armour workshop in Huaihuang City is actually very convenient for the Tiger Alliance. Of course, he knew that Xu Gai and the others wanted to get much more than just this. "Actually, I have been thinking about a plan recently."

"What plan?" Xu Gai knew that Ling Yun would not be aimless. At this time, he said that he had a plan, which must be related to them.

"What do you think of Huaihuang City?"

Shan Xiongxin just finished eating the soup foreskin, wiped his mouth, raised his head and said, "Huaihuang City is really nice. The scenery here is very beautiful, and it is already summer. There is no summer at all. It is really a good place to escape the summer heat."

Xu Gai ignored Shan Xiongxin's words and pondered: "Huaihuang's location is indeed good. From the perspective of merchants, it connects the grassland and the Central Plains, and is also between the Turks, Xi, Sui and other major forces, and is an excellent place for trade transfers."

Ling Yun nodded, Xu Gai had a good vision. After going north from Youzhou or Taiyuan, he had to pass a long distance away from the Great Wall, and then crossed the Yin Mountains of Yanshan, and there was a vast grassland. On the way, it was very dangerous for merchants who traveled between the grassland and the Central Plains. Huaihuang City, the head of the Tiger League, is located in the middle of this trade route. There is a tall city with a population of over 10,000. It is a natural supply transit station. Even from Xu Gai's smart businessman's perspective, if Huaihuang City is operated, it can completely become a dry wharf and a commercial market on the border of the northern subway. Merchants value profits, and the border market is actually huge, because border cities often mean smuggling, and the smuggling profit is huge.

However, Huaihuang City has not become a border market, and it has not even become a supply transit station.

Xu Gai knew the reason here, and Ling Yun also knew that before the Tiger Alliance occupied this place, it had been controlled by Turks, Xi people and even Tiel people in turn. They just regarded this place as a military outpost. Over the years, wars in the northern border have been constantly, and Huaihuang City has changed many owners. During this period, some horse thieves and bandits often took the opportunity to occupy it for a short period of time. After they occupied this place, they were more relied on the mountain to eat, and they specialized in robbing past merchants and treating merchants as those who gave money and food. Naturally, there would be no merchants treat Huaihuang as a supply station and market. A few years ago, there were constant wars in the northern border, with the Turks fighting with the Xi people, the Khitans fighting, then fighting with the Sui Dynasty, and then fighting with themselves, fighting in the east and the west. Later, the Eastern Turks fought themselves, fighting in the south of the Mobei and the north of the Mobei. In short, there were constant wars. A few years ago, Murong Ke, the leader of the horse thief who had a strong power in the Daqingshan area, saw the opportunity and occupied the empty Huaihuang.

Then the Tiger Alliance occupied this place for several years, creating a great miracle. However, Ling Yun talked to Pei Zeng and other elders in the alliance during this period and learned some of the reasons. When the Xi people took advantage of the civil strife of the Turks, a tribe attacked and occupied Huaihuang City. At that time, the Turks were busy with civil strife and had no mind to think of this castle close to the Xi tribe. Later, the Xi people and the Tiel people started to work again, and the tribe occupying Huaihuang drew a lot of people and Murong Ke took the opportunity to seize it.

After he seized the place, the Xi people and the Turks ignored it at first. When Kaoru came, he heard that Murong Ke was actually a member of the Sui Dynasty military. When the Sui army was in great strength, even the Eastern Turkic Khan lived in Baidaochuan, who moved to the Sui Dynasty, and how could he dare to retake Huaihuang. The Xi people and the Khitan were beaten several times by the Sui army because of their innocence. They had officially attached to the Sui Dynasty and tributed to the sui Dynasty. They were even more unlikely to risk offending the Sui Dynasty to fight Huaihuang.

In this way, Murong Ke occupied Huaihuang. Although there were tigers and hungry wolves around him, no one dared to touch him, and all parties were able to remain peaceful.

However, Murong Ke was dissatisfied with the imperial court's transfer and was eventually removed. Originally, the court wanted to re-control the Tiger Alliance and control this important foreign stronghold again, but the people supported by the court were unexpectedly defeated by Murong Qiangwei, Ling Yun and others. At that time, the court was also a little worried that if the force was too strong, Murong Qiangwei and others would simply surrender to the Turks or the Xi people, so they temporarily slowed down.

This also led to the magical result of a green forest organization in the Tiger League, which occupied the important Huaihuang Liancheng under Yanshan Mountain for several years. However, although the Tiger League occupied this place for several years, the Tiger League was also a green forest organization, so it did not become a border market here. Moreover, many merchants had to take a detour when passing by this nearby.

"I plan to start building Huaihuang City into a border trade market after I repelled the Bayegu people." Ling Yun said.
