Green grass, blue sky, white clouds, cattle and sheep are in herds, this is the head of the Tiger League.

This was once one of the six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty, located outside the Daqing Mountains of Yinshan Mountains. It used to gather heavily, with border residents stationed in wasteland, and had a population of hundreds of thousands. The terrain here is unique, and the unique dam area formed by the sudden rise of the grasslands. It also forms a meadow-style grassland due to climate and vegetation. Blue sky, white clouds, green grass, lush trees, strong wind, and sufficient light. There is no obvious summer. Even in midsummer, there is no summer. This grassland is rich in water and grass. For thousands of years, it has been a grassland that countless nomadic tribes have competed for. At the same time, it is also the natural boundary between the nomadic tribes and the Central Plains dynasty. The two major mountains behind the Yinshan Mountains and Yanshan Mountains stretch across the south. After crossing the mountains, you can go straight to Hedong or Hebei and enter the Central Plains.

Huaihuang was once a major border defense area, and the Northern Wei relied on it as national defense. Those stationed here were all the children of Xianbei nobles, called the heart of the country, and the nobles were willing to come here to guard the border. The experience of guarding here could also add a glorious mark to their resumes and open a fast lane for their career improvement. However, this situation did not last long. Later, the powerful enemy Rouran on the grassland of the Northern Wei Dynasty was in civil turmoil and Gaoche rebelled. Rouran was no longer able to invade the south. At this time,

The Northern Wei also moved south from Pingcheng located in the south of Yinshan Mountain, Luoyang, and the Xianbei was sinicized and the political center moved south. The former heart of the country became a low-level military household, and the military town gradually became a place for exile for criminals, and the frustration of officials and generals. Especially after the capital moved south, the economy of the six northern towns also collapsed, and eventually a million-dollar uprising broke out. The Northern Wei was destroyed and divided the East and West Wei. Finally, it was established for the confrontation between Zhou and Qi.

During the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi, there were endless wars between the eastern and western regions of the north, and both sides fought in Hedong and Henan. In the original six towns further north, the rise of the Turks and the decline of Rouran, these places were eventually actually controlled by the Turks. The prosperous border towns in the past were abandoned one by one, and the Turkic wolf cavalry began to break through the Yinshan Mountains and the important barrier of Yanshan Mountain. The outermost Great Wall built during the Northern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasty completely lost its function, and the Turkic wolf cavalry was approaching the second inner Great Wall.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty finally destroyed the once more powerful Northern Qi. Then the Sui Dynasty unified the world and the Central Plains changed. The Sui Dynasty, which unified the Central Plains, was unwilling to be the son of the Turks again, and after several struggles, the powerful Turks were eventually divided. To this day, the Eastern Turks even had to rely on the protection of the Great Sui Dynasty to move to Chilechuan in the Dingxiang area within Yinshan for grazing and resting.

Although the Great Sui defeated the Turks, the border line was actually still maintained on the second Great Wall. The place between the first Great Wall and the second Great Wall was actually already deserted and could only be handed over to the dependent Turks for grazing. As for the areas outside the Yinshan Mountains outside the first Great Wall, it had long become a grassland pasture for nomads.

The former military center on the border has been silent for nearly a hundred years. Huaihuang Town has become the head of the Tiger Alliance. The military center of the Northern Wei Empire in the northern border has become the hall of a group of green forests on the northern border of the Sui Dynasty. Who can imagine it?

Three thousand men went out of the frontier in a vast expedition.

Luo Fang and Xue Shou followed Lingyun's team with one hundred riders and two hundred sprinters, and made a dirty face. Luo Fang, who had eaten all the dust, looked ugly. Lingyun had too many people. He left five hundred people in Erlong Hall, but Lingyun also left three hundred people in Erlong Hall. Then he could lead three thousand people northward. He underestimated Lingyun too much. Just this morning, more than a thousand teams of people arrived to meet up, all of whom were Lingyun's people.

Ling Yun kept saying that he didn't have many brothers around him, but were the thousands of people who raised countless dust dead?

Xue Shou counted it privately and told him that this huge team included the trusted soldiers of King Yang Guang of Jin, the white-haired princess of the Gao family in Northern Qi, and the remaining troops were also complex, including the troops of several heroic families in Henan and Hebei, and the new subordinates recruited by Ling Yun on the way. There were thousands of them. Even if only half of these thousands could actually hold arrows, it was enough to make them look ugly. You know, Ling Yun is not only these people. Outside the frontier, Ling Yun also has a Baima Hall with 200 elite cavalry and 800 elite infantrymen. What's more, Ling Yun has so many supporters, which family can't produce 200 private armed forces. If you really want to get together, Ling Yun can still pull up a thousand and eight hundred strong support at any time.

The team crossed the Great Wall again in Daning and went out of the Great Wall. Daning, which is later Zhangjiakou, was not until the Ming Dynasty was built before Zhangjiakou appeared. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhangjiakou gradually flourished and became a major trading place in the north. At this time, the Daning City, which was established during the Northern Wei Dynasty, had long been gone at this time. It was just a deserted area. The Great Wall of the past also became a ruined wall without guarding, with wide open doors and people allowed to enter and exit.

Ling Yun rode his horse slowly through the gap in the Great Wall, his heart full of sighs, and he couldn't help but hold the horse and stare for a long time. Wei Zheng caught up from behind, and also pulled the horse to sit down, sighing.

"But let the flying generals in Longcheng be there, and the Hu horses do not cross the Yin Mountains." Ling Yun recited a poem, "Senior brother, this was once the frontier of the Central Plains and the Great Wall. But now, people have been allowed to enter and exit at will, and there are fishy Hu cavalry inside and outside the Great Wall. If you have the chance in the future, you must restore the Han status here, regain this land, and drive the Hu people back to the north of Yin Mountains."

A bright color flashed in Wei Zheng's eyes and said in admiration: "I would like to help you with a slim power."

After crossing the Great Wall, I saw that the terrain was completely different. I had already stepped on the grassland here. In later generations, this unique terrain was called Bashang and Grassland Sky Road. When I was in Youzhou, everyone had already changed into thin shirts, but once they crossed the Daning Great Wall, the weather was still clear, but the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. Everyone began to turn out their coats and fur robes again, as if they suddenly entered the air-conditioned room in the hot summer.

As the huge team left the Great Wall, Xue Liang immediately sent someone to the headquarter to inform him.

The elders of the Elders and the members of the Neiba Hall came to greet each other. They had received a letter from Qiangwei and learned about the major changes in the alliance. At this time, they came to welcome the acting leader together. Ling Yun was still right away, and was still in Huaihuang because of the emotional influence of the passing of the Daning Great Wall. He finally arrived in Huaihuang. He just wanted to take a hot bath and have a good sleep. But facing the left and right envoys, four guardians, eight inner hall masters and the thirty elders of the Elders came to greet each other, Ling Yun could only smile and face the side of the envoys who came to the headquarters.

Zuo Envoy stepped forward with a kind face and helped Ling Yun hold the saddle. "When I first received the news, I couldn't believe it, but when I received the news from Luo Fang and Xue Liang, I would no longer doubt it." Zuo Envoy Pei Zeng smiled on his face: "Although he was a little surprised at the beginning, but if you think about it carefully, you are indeed very suitable for the position of leader. The girl Qiangwei has a good attitude."

"I'm afraid everyone doesn't agree with Qiangwei's decision. Maybe there will be many people thinking of pulling me off the horse." Ling Yun smiled at the old man with gray hair, but still straight chest and rosy face. Pei Zeng is the left envoy in the alliance. Under the leader of the alliance, there are deputy leaders, and under the deputy leaders, there are left and right envoys and four guardians. These left and right envoys are the people who assist the leader in handling the assistance. They are all held by people with high prestige and respected gangs, equivalent to the third ministers and three divisions in the court. Ling Yun and Fan Zeng are very familiar with each other and have a good relationship, because after he first entered the Tiger League, he became Murong Ke as his adoptive father, and after he became accused by Murong Ke, he studied with Fan Zeng. Murong Ke was Ling Yun's adoptive father, while Pei Zeng was Ling Yun's master.

"When did you ever be afraid of you? You are always fearless. When the old boss and I met you back then, you were only twelve years old and half-year-old, and you actually killed a tiger alone. Needless to say, the shock between the old boss and me. In the past few years, everyone has watched you in the alliance. How many times have you charged in the battle? No matter whether the other party is one hundred or one thousand, have you ever been afraid?"

"Haha, with the master here, who am I afraid of coming?" Ling Yun smiled. With such a heavyweight Master Yuan helping him, maybe things would be easier than imagined. "You are still so strong, you really can't tell that you are already seventy-three."

"Well, since I ate the tiger you beat that year, I have become more of a hobby. I often get one or two tigers to eat. Tiger meat, tiger bones, tiger whip. I think I am getting younger and younger as I grow older. Last night, I was even the three daughters of the emperor." Pei Zeng smiled proudly.

"Master, you have to be more at ease. At such an old age, do you still want to mess with me with a few junior brothers and sisters?"

"Don't worry, I'm still stronger and stronger. I'm not going to live for another eighteen years." Pei Zeng smiled and said, "We have prepared the yard of Qiangwei for you, so you can live there."

"Thank you, Master." Ling Yun hugged Pei Zeng.

Pei Zeng sighed, "You really don't remember what happened before. Alas, if it were before, you wouldn't be so polite to me. Forget it, I won't say much, go to the city first."

The head of the Tiger Hall was built in Huaihuang Ancient Town. This military town was already in ruins. Later, Murong Ke occupied this place and began to use it as the header. After years of renovation, the ancient city has also restored some momentum.

This is indeed a city. On the grassland of the dam, you can see three ancient cities standing in the shape of Pin. These are the border cities of the three cities in the east and west, in the shape of Pin. The middle city is long and large, protruding to the south. According to the information obtained by Lingyun from the Green Forest Book, the middle city is about 120 zhang wide from east to west, about 200 zhang, and about 110 zhang wide from east to west, and 160 zhang long from north to south. The west city is more than 90 zhang wide from east to west, and about 190 zhang long from north to south. The city wall is made of earth and the city gate is wrapped by bricks and stone.

A gate opened south to the middle city, and there was a six-meter-high observation arrow tower on each side of the door, and several eight-ox crossbows were shining with faint light.

Ling Yun stood in front of the south gate of Zhongcheng, his heart was full of surprise, and he couldn't believe that the three Lianchengs in front of him could not see any broken appearance from the outside. He only saw the city walls were tall, the arrow towers and the corner towers were standing, the guards on the city were walking, and the arrow crossbows were guarding them with strict protection.

On the way out of Jundu Pass, there was a county town in the Huairou Basin near Jundu Pass, with many villages. But who could have imagined that after leaving the Great Wall on the outer line, you could still see such a city on the grassland.
