All the guards, pommel and horse weapons are ready, ready to go out.
There are only hundreds of people here. You Miao got on his horse and asked, "Is it enough? How many people are there?"
"The visual estimate is less than five hundred." Li Zhifeng said, "Enough is enough, march! Let's go!"
Every one of the Quanrong people are like wild wolves. When they are galloping, they don’t even need to look at the road. The horses rush left and right, and they pass through the mountains and forests in a few times. near the garrison.
+++++
The other party was camping on the mountainside, Li Zhifeng and You Miao observed from a distance, You Miao asked, "Is this our place?"
"It's already our territory." Li Zhifeng said, "We have to drive them out."
"Slow." You Miao suddenly thought, and said, "Listen to my arrangement."
It was early summer, and the fog was thick in the mountains and forests. You Miao hadn't fought for a long time, and finally got the chance to fight. When his hands were itchy, he used branches to draw out the terrain on the ground, and divided the 120 people in his hand into six teams.
According to Li Zhifeng's meaning, he set fire to the mountain and sent troops to hunt him down, but he was resolutely opposed by You Miao.
Burning the mountain is the last resort, after all, it is the territory of the Quan Rong for hundreds of miles. In the past, the mountains in the Central Plains were burned by Zhao Chao. Could there be king soil in the whole world? When you said that You Miao's own mountains were burned, You Miao couldn't bear it. This mountain is all valuable, and burning a mountain is burning money...
After formulating the strategy, Li Zhifeng nodded slightly and arranged with others.
You Miao waited patiently until nightfall before Li Zhifeng launched an attack. In the pitch-black mountains, a whistle sounded, and the Quanrong army ambushing in all directions rushed into the jungle together!
The Koreans were immediately alert, but were ambushed unsuspecting. When crossing the canyon, You Miao's second group of ambush soldiers shot arrows into the canyon from high places on both sides. After stumbling on horse ropes, falling rocks, and rolling out a log, and knocking down a group of people, the Korean army finally escaped from the canyon.
At this time, Li Zhifeng quickly led his army around and successfully intercepted the deserters outside the mouth of the canyon.
+++++
"I really don't know how Zhao Chao lost." You Miao sighed helplessly as she walked towards the house with more than 200 Korean prisoners in custody.
Li Zhifeng replied: "He was still very young when he fought Gaoli, and he was on someone else's territory, but now he is on our own territory."
You Miao thinks about it too. After all, it has been nearly ten years. Everyone has grown from a teenager who was not familiar with the world to an emperor, Wencheng, and a military general. Today is different from the past. Now that Zhao Chao leads the army to fight, most of Goryeo has already Not his opponent anymore.
You Miao gave up the idea of writing a letter to Zhao Chao to show off. When he returned to the foot of Dongshan, he looked back and saw that the team of 244 people was still a bit large.
+++++
"How to deal with the prisoners?" You Miao said.
"Interrogate first." Li Zhifeng said.
The people of the Quanrong tribe came out, and it was a rare victory since the death of the old Quanrong king, since Dalek and Sanado succeeded. The group worshipped Sanado a little more.
Only You Miao felt that dealing with 500 people part-time job was a matter of hand. Li Zhifeng used to lead troops in the south with as little as tens of thousands, and when he cooperated with Nie Dan, he dispatched 500,000 troops, not to mention arresting such a few people. , it is possible to flatten Goryeo.
When Darleko was in power, although the dog was ruthless, he was a single soldier with high combat ability. Without the cooperation of the Tianqi army, he did not talk about the formation and deployment of the army at all, and even the combat effectiveness of outflanking was very limited. sneak attack. Now that I think about it, it was God's will that Nie Dan would actually be defeated by the Quan Rongren.
+++++
Li Zhifeng asked people to set a circle of fire on the plain, painted his face blue with paint mixed with tree sap and grass leaves, and had feathers on his head, like a savage beast god in the mountains, interrogating him in this mysterious ceremony. The Goryeo people embraced shamanism, and the Quanjun people also had the ancient tradition of practicing shamanism. When the prisoners of war saw this battle, they immediately persuaded a little.
Li Zhifeng used Goryeo to question the captives, and the burly and burly men around them all looked like evil ghosts. Before he could ask a few words, the captives were all full of shit.
It turned out that the King of Goryeo was in critical condition. After years of wars, Goryeo’s supplies were scarce. The Apocalypse Dynasty won a great victory a year ago and expelled the Hu people, which cut off Goryeo’s supplies for the second time.
And will succeed Goryeo's supplies.
In order to find the thousand-year-old ginseng to continue his father's life, the prince of Goryeo who will succeed him, under the instigation of Daleko, sent a team of people to explore the way to Leishan and Yingshan.
Surprisingly, among the captives was the little prince of the Goryeo Dynasty! He wanted to establish military merits, so he came to the advance team to find out what happened to Quan Rong.
Although the man was the little prince, he was over forty and had a big beard. He kept begging for mercy, saying that he would definitely give money when he went back.
Li Zhifeng said, "Dalek is the best at using this set."
You Miao knew about it as soon as she stood upright. Now that the King of Goryeo is dying, the eldest prince is looking for thousand-year-old ginseng to honor his father, but he is actually trying to open up the northern territories. The messenger was not too short to come, so he rushed to the territory of the Quanrong people, obviously bullying Li Zhifeng's youth
"I guess it's just an excuse for them to seek medicine." You Miao said: "Actually, they are exploring the way and testing us. If you run into trouble, just fight. If you can't fight, the little prince will come forward and make peace."
Li Zhifeng nodded and said, "Don't be too polite to them, Leishan is ours."
+++++
You Miao snorted and asked, "How to deal with these prisoners?"
"Eat it." Li Zhifeng said.
"Eat...Eat?!" You Miao was like five thunders pounding to the top, but she couldn't come back to her senses with her mouth open.
"No!" You Miao almost roared, "How can you eat people?!"
"Can't you eat it?" Li Zhifeng said, "I don't eat people, but if you take them back, the clan will definitely ask you to divide the prisoners of war and eat them from house to house. It was like this in the past."
"No, no..." You Miao said, "How can I eat my captive! Don't eat it!"
There is indeed a tradition of cannibalism in Quanrong, but that was also a long time ago. When everyone marched and fought for a long time, when they were too hungry, they could only eat the prisoners directly, but Youmiao was absolutely not allowed, just kidding! Li Zhifeng said, "Then what should we do? We can't afford to support so many people."
"Let's keep it first." You Miao thought about it and said, "Let each of them write a letter and ask for ransom from the family. Send someone from our clan to deliver the letter."
Li Zhifeng said: "It makes sense! This way you will have money!"
You Miao: "… "
Li Zhifeng said: "You really know how to deal with the imperial court."
You Miao replied: "Before the ransom arrives, I will send them some food every day, and let them all farm for me."
Li Zhifeng sighed. You Miao said again: "The clansmen who participated in this battle asked their family to call and select two prisoners of war. When the ransom came, the soldiers would divide all of them. The prisoners of war are under my name, and I will take them to plough the fields, don't let anyone else. If you eat too much, you can't run."
"Okay!" Li Zhifeng said, "Just do as you said!"
So the two hundred and forty-four prisoners of war were dragged by You Miao to farm that day, and there were also guards around them with weapons in their hands, eyeing them. You Miao then asked the Korean prisoners of war to write letters asking for ransom, and sent messengers, busy for several days. Next is a month-long wasteland reclamation. This time, Youmiao is gearing up, vowing to build the entire Dongshan into a fertile land for me.
+++++ Of course, You Miao let the prisoners of war farm the land, but the little prince was an exception, and he had to eat and drink to serve. The little prince finally realized that he was framed by his eldest brother and Daleko, and finally became friends with You Miao and asked for a box of silver totaling 1,400 taels as a ransom.
Three months later, Goryeo sent a minister with the ransom to bring the prisoners back.
"Go back and be careful with your big brother!" You Miao waved at the bearded little prince.
The little prince went away gratefully.
And Youmiao's fields are almost planted, and when the autumn harvest arrives, the entire Quanrong tribe is dispatched collectively to start harvesting rice and other crops. You Miao paid off the baitiao one by one, leaving 840 acres of land, and then let the entire clan's Quan Rong soldiers release the news that all the people in Liaodong who couldn't get enough to eat can come to harvest the food, whoever receives it Who is it.
All the villages hundreds of miles below this area were disturbed, and all the people from various places rushed down the Dongshan Mountain, in order to take advantage of the King of Liaodong and eat free food.
Li Zhifeng said, "Is it a free gift?"
"Free delivery." You Miao said with a smile, "Everyone who comes has a share. If you haven't received the food, come over and say hello. I'll send the money here."
Really rich and easy to do things, Youmiao now has nearly six hectares of farmland, just like Jiangxia Mountain Villa can grow rice for two seasons, but it is absolutely enough to eat, and if you have money in your hand, you can spend as much as you want. how to spend. However, it is not the time to build the Wangfu to raise the banner.
++++
"Let's spread the benefits first." You Miao said: "Those who are willing to move to Dongcheng will be accepted. Each household will assign fields, calculated on a per capita basis, each person will be 20 mu, and will not pay rent for fifteen years."
Naturally, Li Zhifeng had no objection. Then, You Miao took advantage of this opportunity to gather all the people of various towns in Liaodong together and promulgated a new policy.
Dongshan Mountain is not cold in winter, and there are mountains that block the strong wind. It is a natural plain suitable for shelter from the cold. However, it has been occupied by the Quanrong people since the beginning of time, and neither the shouting nor the Xianbei people dare to come.
Now the king of Liaodong has established a new hair, the Songjiang Plain is abundant with fish and rice, there are inexhaustible forest farms on the mountains, and what is even more attractive is that there are cultivated fields! Fifteen years without rent! Such good things are simply happier than sending money.
Some people are wondering if there is such a good thing, but the homeless refugees came first. After ten years of war inside and outside Guan, many people have been displaced, and as soon as the news spread, these people all ran here. You Miao speaks without ambiguity, and solemnly stands with every household who has moved here, and even affixes her own jade seal.
After arriving, the Xianbei people were afraid that they would not be able to get their share if they arrived late, so they flocked there. When the last wave of people arrived in the late autumn, You Miao had no farm points at hand, but there were still people who insisted on staying.
So Youmiao gave them a large area of wasteland north of Dongshan Mountain and across the Songjiang River, and let them reclaim the wasteland by themselves.
+++++
A few months later, winter came, and the population at the foot of Dongshan skyrocketed to 50,000.
You Miao was very satisfied with this.
When Li Zhifeng and You Miao toured the city, they couldn't believe it. In just one year, the underside of Dongshan Mountain had completely changed. Under You Miao's plan, Han and Hu lived together and built a second new city west of Dongcheng. Although the house is not perfect, it has a rudimentary city wall.
After a year, the Quanrong people also got used to living with their families. Gradually, there was no one on the Waimina Plain, and everyone moved into the main city to prepare for the winter.
Youmiao also designed an independent market by the Songjiang River to facilitate the exchange of goods. Of course, the market must be taxed. Except for the local Qurong people who do not collect tax, the rest of the ethnic groups must collect tithes. Tax.
There are more and more people in Yanbian getting news from Liaodong, which is true. However, on Youmiao's site, except for tea, they are basically self-sufficient. Just as long as it's not too much.
+++++
Late one night, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside, which alarmed the Quanrong people in nearly half of the Dongshan Mountain. Li Zhifeng put on some clothes and went out, and a gust of wind came in not long after, he picked You Miao and went out, You Miao fell into a daze, and the center still hugged his waist, and the two were carried out by Li Zhifeng together.
A lamp was lit in the other tent. When the visitor saw You Miao, he rushed forward and said, "Master! I finally found you!"
When You Miao heard the accent, she was still drooling in sleep. An elf, the person in front of him couldn't see his face clearly, and said, "Get up, you are... Guangwu?!"
The person who came was Cheng Guangwu, You Miao was dumbfounded, and then thought that after following Li Zhifeng to the north, he just fled along the way, and nothing in the villa was explained. However, during the days when she was imprisoned by Zhao Chao, Qiao Rong had already taken care of herself.
When You Miao left Maocheng, she only wanted to travel around the world with Li Zhifeng and ended the past completely, so she sent a letter on the way and dragged the villa to Qiao Jue. Unexpectedly, Qiao Jue actually dispatched people to chase here after thousands of miles. For a while, the master and servant faced each other, sighing uncontrollably. Cheng Guangwu kowtowed and cried, intermittently after half a sound, and finally explained the matter clearly.
It turns out that since Li Zhifeng took You Miao away, no one dared to mention this uncle who has become a legend again. However, although You Miao was not in the courtroom and the rivers and lakes, his legend was still circulating in the courtroom and the rivers and lakes.
Zhao Chao will always think of him from time to time. During the Mid-autumn Festival banquet, Zhao Chao toasted: "Although I am in heaven, I still need to work hard..." Halfway through the speech, he suddenly fell silent, remembering the grand plan of the Central Plains, the splendid mountains and rivers, Dubai has long since passed away Nie Dan, Sui Yu, and You Miao and Li Zhifeng who had left the Great Wall.
Zhao Chao choked on the spot, tears submerged.
A few days after the fall, Zhao Chao fell ill with a serious illness. During the illness, he remembered various things from his previous life, and he thought of You Miao away from the Great Wall, and he was somewhat unable to let go. Seeing this, Qiao Rong sent a letter back to Jiangbo Villa, asking Qiao Jue to act expediently.
Qiao Jue wanted to go to Yanbian in person to find You Miao, but in order to avoid Chaozhong's eyes and ears, he should not be too blatant, so he had to let Cheng Guangwu lead a group of people to go north first to see how well You Miao took root.
Cheng Guangwu first went up Yanbian, then inquired in the city, and finally found Tu Risheng, got the general's handwritten letter, asked someone to lead the way, and went out of Dongliangguan to Liaodong. After twists and turns, and many detours, he finally found Dongshan.
+++++
You Miao coaxed her eyes and said nothing after listening to it.
Cheng Guangwu held back his tears, and when he saw Zhongyang, Youmiao was too sad, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Young master?"
Zhongyang looked at Cheng Guangwu inexplicably. Cheng Guangwu smiled immediately and said, "This is the Queen's order. If you can meet me, give Nie... Young Master Nie a little something to keep as a souvenir."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Guangwu walked out of the tent and took out a box containing a pair of egg-sized luminous pearls.
You Miao: "… "
Li Zhifeng: "..."
Cheng Guangwu: "..."
You Miao finally regained her senses, and finally cut to the point quickly and accurately, and said, "Guangwu, how much did you bring here this time?"
The listener nearly fell.
Cheng Guangwu said: "The queen ordered the young master to bring a reward to the young master, and an imperial decree for General Tu Risheng. Our uncle Qiao asked him to bring 10,000 taels of silver to prepare for the young master to take care of it when he came to Liaodong. use."
You Miao said: "Okay, keep the money. Let our family send a caravan here. Be sure to bring more tea, not good tea. The next year, ten years of tea bricks, all bring with you."
Cheng Guangwu: "..."
You Miao said again: "Let's pick out the ginseng, mink, and the best ones here, and bring a few boxes to the queen. Ask the queen to find some scholars, and say that the king of Liaodong asks for a consultant, and all who are willing to come come here."
Cheng Guangwu received the letter, and Li Zhifeng knew that You Miao was still thinking about his family, so he asked a few more questions about the villa, especially if the waterwheel was still in use. Cheng Guangwu smiled and said, "Although the general and the young master have left, nothing has changed at home."
Although You Miao retired, Tian Qi was still afraid of his uncle. Besides, Queen Qiao was still there. The crown prince was just established this year, and the crown of the crown was firmly established by You Miao's nephew. Zhao Chao obviously did not accept it. The concubine meant that with the Crown Prince Zao and Princess Zhao Xun there, no one would be able to move the You Family for at least 40 years.
Of course, it is another matter if the crown prince wants to move his mother's uncle's house to his own death after the registration, but You Miao believes that with Qiao Jue's book, he will definitely coax the prince to the point of death. Qiao Rong does not have much ambition, nor will he Make your son angry.
+++++
After Cheng Guangwu left, Li Zhifeng was still a little embarrassed. However, within a few days, another lovely person came, this time it was Tu Risheng.
Tu Risheng's life and future are all thanks to You Miao, but he knows You Miao's character. Since he doesn't want to see him, he doesn't want to see him. Risheng came over this time, and he sat down to talk about business.
"I heard that the old man in Goryeo is dying." Tu Risheng said, "Our spies have heard rumors that we may have to fight again in Goryeo."
While making tea, You Miao said absently: "If you can, try not to fight. You have seen the situation in Dongcheng. We need a truce for five to ten years to negotiate peace. Now that we fight, we can't support military spending."
Tu Risheng said: "I'm just afraid that something will happen. According to what I mean, a beacon tower is built at Dongliangguan, and it connects all the way to the top of the mountain. I don't know what the prince wants?"
"This is fine." You Miao said.
After Tu Risheng and You Miao finished discussing, Li Zhifeng invited him to a meal, and then took him around the city.
A brick kiln was set up in Dongshan and began to burn bricks. This year was the second year that You Miao came to the outside of the Great Wall. People in Dongcheng had gradually become accustomed to it, and Han and Hu also began to intermarry.
Some Quan Rong people still retain the custom of going out of the customs by lone wolf, and there are also people who get married on the spot. Now they don't need to enter the customs with the betrothal gifts of the big clan, and virtually leave a fortune for the material of the entire clan.
Relying on Li Zhifeng's leadership, the Quanrong people had various privileges in the city, but You Miao strictly prohibited fighting in the city and established strict laws in order to avoid the distinction of three, six and nine. Although it is generally based on the law of apocalypse, it is stricter. As long as the law is violated, regardless of race or age, it will be dealt with according to the law.
In addition, the resources occupied by the Quanrong people are better. The most fertile fields and fishing grounds under the entire Dongshan Mountain are allocated to them. The Han people hunt less tigers and will not compete for too many resources with the Quanrong people. So for two full years, with You Miao Laocheng's skill and Li Zhifeng's prestige suppression, everyone was at peace. The status of the two is very popular among all ethnic groups.
+++++
The wood, bricks and stones under the Dongshan Mountain are all ready. What You Miao will do next is to rebuild it. This time, he will build Dongshan City into the first city in Saibei, and the scale should be above Daan and Yanbian.
This requires a lot of money and civil engineering, but everything is ready, You Miao is confident that all the resources of Liaodong have been gathered here.
The status of Liaodong is very embarrassing. Originally, this place should belong to the Quanrong Kingdom. After all, Zhao Chao personally agreed to seal this place to You Miao and Li Zhifeng. Come, Liaodong has become the territory of Tianqi.
You Miao knew very well that at the end, Zhao Chao had such a hand, meaning that the country is not a country, you can do it yourself, don't be scolded.
You Miao had to discuss with Li Zhifeng, and then wrote a letter to Tianqi.
This time Zhao Chao's meaning was unexpectedly simple - even though Liaodong is the territory of Tianqi, it is also the territory of Quan Rong. Tribute every year.
As much as you pay, you can just think about it.
You Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving this imperial decree.
In the third year, when Dongshan City was built, You Miao sealed the jade seal, established Li Zhifeng as the king of Quanrong, and established Zhongyang as the prince, and he retired behind the scenes and became a minister.
+++++
A few years later, Qiao Rong sent a group of people, mostly scholars, to follow the caravan north.
You Miao set up a private school in Dongcheng. At the same time, he hired poets from the Hu ethnic group to compile the Hu culture and the Quan Rong culture in a book. He also invited the elders of the Quan Rong tribe to study the text together. There used to be text.
Quanrongwen belongs to a type of hieroglyphics, but it is very old and is usually not used by everyone. Only when sacrificing ancestors and mountains and rivers can there be a few written spells, and the shape of the characters is similar to that of the ancient Han Dynasty's Zhongdingwen in Xilong.
This is a big project. You Miao invested heavily in opening a school, sorting out the unique culture outside the Great Wall, and preparing to draft the scientific examination and martial arts selection system.
+++++
This year, Dongshan City has truly become a huge urban agglomeration, the market along the Songjiang River is prosperous, and Youmiao is also in her thirties. After the autumn harvest, the central government held a coming-of-age ceremony. Following You Miao, Li Zhifeng and a group of warriors went out to hunt in a mighty manner. When passing through Languan, You Miao stopped.
"Don't go!" You Miao smiled and said, "The place ahead is your third uncle. Be careful, like Prince Goryeo, we are caught by the general of Tianqi!"
The leader, Jin Feng, is the center of gravity. After Zhongyang heard You Miao's whistle, he urged the horse to rush back.
"Father!" Chongyang's voice carried the characteristics of a male duck when the boy changed his voice, and said from a distance: "Let's go to the south for a stroll!"
You Miao said: "It's incredible that you're gone now, you say it's hunting, and Emperor Tianqi will come and beat you in person later!"
Chongyang shook his head helplessly, and said, "If only the rivers and mountains in the south belonged to us."
When You Miao heard this, she almost fell off her horse.
Li Zhifeng said casually: "Although the rivers and mountains in the south are prosperous, it is not the Liaodong that your father built with his own hands. You can go there if you want, and go shopping by yourself. You still think your home is the best."
Chongyang turned back and looked at him inexplicably.
However, You Miao smiled and turned her horse's head, left side by side with Li Zhifeng, and threw Chongyang under Languan.
"Father!" Chongyang shouted again, "Then I can leave!"
"Go!" You Miao and Li Zhifeng rode side by side, You Miao replied lazily.
You Miao and Li Zhifeng rode their horses, crossed the Languan Pass, crossed the Qinling Mountains where the wind and snow drifted, and passed the place where they met each other.
In Liaodong, there are dogs and horses, standing in the wind and snow, Wuhu and Han people are bustling, and children are skating on the frozen Songjiang River and having snowball fights.
When the wanderer returns, the mountains are crisp.
The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of clouds.
The wind is tens of thousands of miles long, blowing through the Yumen Pass.
"Fanwai II, Partridge Day, End"
