When the soldiers returned to the city, Ling Yun ordered the reward of all the soldiers who fought for five kilograms of wine and meat, and three days off. The chapter was updated the fastest. The soldiers and families who did not fight in Huaihuang Liancheng also gave each 100 yuan of money and one kilogram of wine and meat. For a time, the entire Huaihuang Liancheng was in a state of jubilation. Ling Yun even set up a banquet for the White Tiger Platform to celebrate the celebration and invite the leaders and elders of the Tiger Alliance to celebrate the celebration. At the banquet, Tuoba Hengdao looked at the tents of the tents standing guard on the White Tiger Platform and sighed: "The soldiers in the tents of the Alliance leader stood like pine trees, not moving like mountains, and were truly amazing. When the battle started, they were as fast as the wind, invaded like fire, and moving like thunder. When the battle of Shihe, their bravery really made me admire him."

Ling Yun smiled and said, "The personal army in the tent has only been slightly trained, and it is still far from the elite. Time is too late. I will not hide it from you. Although the Tiger Alliance won today, the danger of overdue is approaching. Every time I think about this, I can't sleep or eat. The Tiger Alliance has been established for several years, from the old leader to the Zhujing, and then to the Someone, there have been three positions. I really don't want the Tiger Alliance to be lost to me."

Everyone was surprised when they heard Ling Yun sighing like this, especially some elders, who felt that Ling Yun was a little too alarmist.

"Jingde, Yao Jin, carry the sand table up." Ling Yun shouted to the two men standing under the corridor.

"Yes." The two responded and turned around and came out. After a while, they carried a wooden box of more than meter long and wide, with a cloth covering it. No one knew what was underneath.

Ling Yun walked over and lifted the cover cloth to reveal the sand tray inside.

A scream sounded, and everyone stared at the thing exposed after the cloth was lifted up in surprise.

"That's the terrain near Huaihuang!" Pei Zeng sighed in surprise. He saw that the sand table in Lingyun's mouth was actually the mountains and rivers near Huaihuang made of mud and sand, and it was so exquisite and intuitive. He had been in Huaihuang for so many years. This was the first time he discovered that Huaihuang was actually like this. On the sand table, Huaihuang Liancheng stood on a flat grassland, but not far to the south, a high dam suddenly formed a huge height and low drop with the Central Plains. On the entire dam, it was like a raised dam standing in the northern border of the Central Plains. The south side of the dam was the Great Wall built in the Central Plains, and there was also a Great Wall to the south.

"Yes, this is the terrain of Huaihuang." Ling Yun nodded, "Please look at Huaihuang and the hundreds of miles of surrounding areas. It is an excellent grassland. There are abundant water and grass, meadows, forests, rivers and lakes. Although it is not suitable for growing grain, it is most suitable for grazing. Such a treasure land has been occupied by us for several years. To be honest, we are just a group of green forests, but we can actually occupy this treasure land for many years. The Great Sui in the south, the Turks in the west, and the Xi tribe in the east. They have not come to seize it. Don't you think it's strange?"

"And, let's take a closer look at the location of Huaihuang Town. Although it is outside the Great Wall, the Great Wall Pass is located in the south. From here, you can enter Hedong, Hebei Youzhou, and even directly enter Baidaochuan. From Huaihuang to the west, you can follow Yinshan to the Turkic Khan tent, go north to the sand sea, reach the Khanate of the Eastern Turkic Desert, and go east to the east. We can go straight to Xi, Khitan, Wu, Shiwei, Muhe, Goguryeo and other places. It can be said that this is a well-connected channel, from here, you can connect all places. Huaihuang City lives in such a place. Haven't you seen that we are guarding a golden rice bowl?"

Li Wan held the wine glass and said indifferently: "Lingyun What do you want to say?"

"What I want to tell you is that we have been begging for the past years with golden rice bowls." Ling Yun shouted: "Look at the location of Huaihuang and look at the terrain here. Have you ever thought about it? What if we no longer just robbed past business travelers with short-sightedness, but the other way around?"

"On the other hand? Do you have to give money to the business travelers?" Su Cheng, the seventh princess, smiled, "Providing these business travelers? Then what should we eat and drink?"

Ling Yun ignored Su Cheng's words with hostility. He pointed to Huaihuang City on the sand table, "Look, there is a line between the grassland and the Central Plains, between Yanshan and Yinshan, and there is also the Great Wall on this line. However, there are only a few roads to go out of the frontier, one is from Wuyuan to the north and exit the Shimenshui River Valley. This road was called the Qingyang Road in ancient times, and it was also called the Middle Road. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, six towns were set up. Huaishuo Town was located on the plain above the Shimen Water Water, guarding it.

Following the throat of this passage, another one goes north from Baidao City and exits Wuchuan Town through Baidaoshui River Valley. This passage is called Baidao. And we are on the way to get out of the border to Hedong and Hebei north. If we leave Hebei, we must pass four places, Lulong Pass, Miyun Shu, Yuyi Town and Daning. Except for Lulong Pass in the east of Youzhou, Miyun Shu, Yuyi Town and Daning City, the three exits are all towards the dam, and they are all near Huaihuang."

"So what?" Su Cheng still said.

Ling Yun shook his head, and was really helpless about these bandits who only knew how to rob. The so-called robbery and relied on the mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. They occupied important places like Huaihuang, but they only knew how to rob past business travelers. It was so stupid. Look at the Western Regions on the Silk Road, they made a fortune because they occupied this prosperous business road. Huaihuang City is located on several important roads on both sides of Hedong and Hebei, and it is unlimited business opportunities. They don’t need to rob them hard at all. As long as they treat Huaihuang City as a transit station and market for business travelers, they will be too busy to collect money by sitting on the ground. The annual trade between the Central Plains and the Grassland is never a decimal. Countless Central Plains merchants go out to the frontier to do business and exchange goods from the Central Plains for grassland goods. However, the distance between the Central Plains and the Grassland is too far away, and although the imperial court sets up trading on the border,

The official market threshold is very high. If the Tiger Alliance can operate Huaihuang into a border market, and hold a great location on these commercial roads, and build a market, are you afraid that no one will be afraid of when there is no one? Many other merchants travel outside the border, which is also very dangerous, and can only run once a year. Especially if they go deep into the north of the Mo, only large caravans can go. If Lingyun sets up a market here, then some merchants from the Central Plains can even rest here and buy goods directly here, without going deep into the grassland. For many tribes, they do not need to wait for the Central Plains caravan to exchange goods, and they do not need to go to the Sui realm of the Central Plains. They can sell their livestock furs in Huaihuang outside the border, and then directly buy the tea cloth they need, which eliminates the trouble of going south to the Central Plains and the trouble of crossing the border.

Historically, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, trade between Shanxi and Hebei and Mongolia and Gulf flourished, and Zhangjiakou quickly became an important inland port at that time, commonly known as the dry wharf.

"As long as we build the market in Huaihuang, no longer rob the past merchants, even invite them to come to us for rest and even store goods here. Open a store here, we can get ten times and a hundred times the profits of robbery like this today." Ling Yun is not bragging, once the border market is started, the benefits will definitely be huge, especially in a good location like Huaihuang. "Of course, it is too early to talk about these things now, and we have a big trouble now. If it cannot be solved, let alone holding the treasure pot to collect the benefits in the future, I am afraid that we will not be able to stay in Huaihuang City."

"What trouble?" Tuoba Hengdao was very good at handling, which made Ling Yun unable to help but give thirty-two praises to the sly old man. This old guy obviously was deliberately supporting Ling Yun.

"The people of Bayegu were originally in Mobei, everyone knows why they appeared in Huaihuang?" Ling Yun asked.

"They were summoned by the Eastern Turkic Khan Du Lan to come south and attacked the border of the Sui Dynasty. It is said that the Sui Dynasty first designed to kill Du Lan's wife, and then married a princess to the little Khan Tuli in the north. This made Du Lan feel very embarrassed, and in furious, he summoned people to attack the border. However, because Tuli informed the Sui Dynasty, Du Lan did not succeed, so he had to disband the troops in the end. The Baye Gu people went south and got nothing, so they stayed and refused to return." Tuoba Hengdao explained.

"That's right, that's exactly that." Ling Yun pointed to the sand table, "Look at it, Du Lan is the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, but his khan is not in Yudujin Mountain in the north of the desert, but in Baidaochuan to the east of us." Baidaochuan, also known as Chilechuan, is the Tumote Plain in later generations. In Baotou and Hohhot, it is already south of Yinshan, north of Shuozhou in Hedong, which is the Qiantao area of ​​the Yellow River. It is very close to Huaihuang Town. Du Lan's khan is in the area of ​​Wuchuan Town, facing east along Yinshan, and is only one Rouxuan Town from Huaihuang Town. "The six northern towns established during the Northern Wei Dynasty have actually been controlled by the Turks since the Wei Dynasty.

Although the Great Sui defeated the Turks several times, in fact, the northern border of the Great Sui has always been on the Great Wall. The six northern towns outside the Great Wall have actually been controlled by the Turks. The head of Murong at that time just took the opportunity to occupy Huaihuang. In recent years, the Turks have not touched Huaihuang. It is not because they are afraid of us, but because they are concerned about the Great Sui. The so-called throwing rats and being afraid of weapons, but now, Du Lan has started a war with the Sui Dynasty. Then, after he hit a wall in the Sui Dynasty, he is likely to take down our Huaihuang City first." For Du Lan, who has already turned against the Sui Dynasty, there is no reason not to take back the small Huaihuang Town.

After Ling Yun said this, even Li Wan and others had to admit that this was indeed very reasonable. In the past, the Sui, Turks, and Xi families surrounded Huaihuang Town, but they did not take action. It was just a subtle balance. But now, the balance has been broken, and the Eastern Turks are very likely to attack Huaihuang. After all, the position occupied by Huaihuang is very important. It is not only a golden position on the commercial road, but also a strategic location for military strategists. If Du Lan occupied this place, whether it was going south to Hedong or going east to Youzhou, Hebei, it would be an excellent offensive forward base, so how could he let it go?

Ling Yun first talked about a lot of wonderful visions of Huaihuang City, and suddenly explained the huge crisis of Huaihuang Town at this time, which made everyone here complicated. They were immersed in the huge benefits of operating Huaihuang as a border market, and were also worried about the current dangerous situation of Huaihuang City.

"Will the Eastern Turks come to attack Huaihuang?" someone asked impatiently.

Ling Yun nodded, "Even the Bayegu people in Mobei are coveting Huaihuang and are reluctant to go. How could you say that it is Lan Khan let go of our fat piece of meat right beside us?"

"What should we do? Dulan Khan is the Great Khan of the Eastern Turkic Khan. He commanded the thousands of miles of grasslands and had hundreds of thousands of string control men under his command. How can we be our opponent?"

"Why don't we retreat before the Eastern Turks arrive first. The green mountains are there, so we don't have to worry about the lack of firewood."

"yes."

.....

For a moment, there were many discussions in the hall. When many people heard that the Eastern Turks might come to attack, they thought of not resisting, but running away.

Although Ling Yun was a little disappointed in his heart, he was already expecting it. This is also the reason why he had just raised the wonderful prospects of Huaihuang and then talked about the crisis. If it weren't for the outlining that Huaihuang was a treasure pot, I'm afraid that the hall would have already been circulating, rather than just a few people holding this attitude. Many people did not say that they wanted to escape, Pei Zeng did not say that, and the Tenth Taibao did not say that, and many prestigious elders did not say that they did not say that they did not know the crisis, but that they knew something.

In fact, where are they going to escape? The Tiger Alliance occupied the dam and operated Huaihuang for many years. It has been no longer just a small village. There are more than 100 villages and more than a dozen branches in the entire alliance, and it is afraid that there will be no less than 100,000 people. Everyone has been used to such peaceful days over the years. Where are they going to escape now? Where can they accommodate so many of them? And after being the mountain king for so long, I am used to living a free life. Who would want to live with others? What's more, Huaihuang City has such a bright future.

Tuoba Hengdao said at this time: "Since the alliance has already noticed this crisis, can there be a solution?"

Ling Yun was waiting for this sentence, and laughed a few times.

"In fact, although the Eastern Turks are powerful, we don't have to be afraid. Don't forget that the Eastern Turks also have people who are afraid."

"Da Sui?"

Ling Yun nodded, "Yes, the Eastern Turks are indeed stronger than us, but we don't have to fight alone without help. Don't forget that the Great Sui Dynasty is in the south, and if everyone has not forgotten, we have accepted the invitation from the King of Jin of the Sui Dynasty not long ago, and now they are the people of the Sui Dynasty."

Li Wan said coldly: "The leader of the alliance is to invite the Sui people to come and give up Huai Huang?" Sure enough, as soon as he said this, many people in the hall were talking about it. Everyone was unwilling to give up Huai Huang to the Turks, but they were also unwilling to give up Huai Huang to the Sui people.

"Of course not, Huaihuang is our home, how can we give in at will? We just borrowed the power of the Great Sui Dynasty and made the Turks a little afraid of us. But the ironwork is still strong, and if we want to protect Huaihuang, we have to rely on our own strength. Look at the Baye Gu people who have just been defeated by us. As long as we are strong enough, no matter who we are, we don't want to steal Huaihuang. I have a plan that not only can we protect Huaihuang, but also can make Huaihuang a treasure pot, but this plan has everyone's support."

"No matter what the leader's plan is, I, Tuoba Hengdao, will fully support it. Huaihuang Town is from our Tiger Alliance, and no one can take it away!" Tuoba Hengdao said loudly.

Pei Zeng also stood up to support, "I also fully support the leader."

“I support it too.”

"support."
