Yanzi City is the location of Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou in later generations. The grasslands are vast today, and they are even more vast than the Zhangbei grasslands in later generations.

Swallow City is outside the border.

The outer wall of the Great Wall that is now mentioned mainly refers to the Northern Wei Great Wall and the Sui Great Wall. However, although the Great Wall was built seven times in the Sui Dynasty, the Northern Wei Great Wall was not repaired in the Zhangjiakou area. First, the Northern Wei Great Wall in the Zhangjiakou area was solid and intact; second, the Zhangjiakou area was overcast and steep mountains, and even if there was no city defense, there was only one official road in Yehuling that could operate a large army.

Ten miles north of Yehu Ridge Fortress is Yanzi City.

Yanzi City was called Huaihuang Town in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was an important town in the border area of ​​the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, later the famous riots in the six northern towns were destroyed. Emperor Taizong of Liao built Yanzi City here and belonged to Wuzhou (Guihua Prefecture), which is the current Baoan Town.

Yanzi City mainly resettled the migrant Bohai people, that is, the nomadic Sumo Mile. Tens of thousands of Bohai people were resettled, and at the same time, three thousand Bohai troops were maintained in the Wuding Army.

Lu Ning had dealt with them and encountered two hundred Bohai bows and cavalry at that time. The leader Nihan, who was captured, was the son of Darong, the eldest son of the Bohai tribe.

The army in front of the palace and the Shenwu army attacked the four states of Xinzhou. The Bohai Army did not work hard. Seeing that the situation was over, they fled back to the northern grassland.

The leader Darong later wrote a letter to surrender to Qi.

I was worried that the Qi army would go north and slaughter all Yanzi City at that time.

But Yanzi City is outside the Great Wall, and the grazing land of the Bohai tribe is the Zhangbei grassland in later generations.

Recently, Lu Ning issued an edict to ask the Bohai tribe to pay tribute to 100 good horses and trade with each other for 900 horses, and the Bohai tribe disappeared.

I think it is clear that these tens of thousands of Bohai people are like sandwich cookies, and they cannot offend either end. They anger Qi and Liao either side, afraid that it will be a catastrophe for the entire clan.

You can only watch carefully and survive in the cracks.

Nowadays, the Khitans have no time to take care of him, but he obviously does not want to realize his own way of retreat. Otherwise, if the Qi army was defeated in the end, Darong's tribe would have been massacred by the Khitans.

Lu Ning didn't think it would be difficult for them anymore. After all, he was not nervous yet and needed this small tribe to urgently support the horses.

But I didn't expect that this morning I received a letter of help from Darong. The messenger brought a thousand horses, and said that they were all tributes.

It turned out that it was a white Tatar tribe near the Bohai tribe in the Western grassland. A large number of herders crossed the border and entered the Zhangbei grassland pasture.

In fact, this Zhangbei Grassland ranch was originally a nomadic land of the White Tatars, but during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Liao, tens of thousands of Bohai people were forcibly migrated. On the one hand, they divided the Bohai people and controlled them, and at the same time filled the Bohai army into the border; on the other hand, they naturally also clamped the White Tatar tribe and drew a boundary for them, so that they would not come east to grazing.

Nowadays, the White Tatar tribe naturally knew that the Liao people had lost the "Fengshengzhou", and the Bohai tribe and the Qi people in the south were flirting with each other, taking the opportunity to invade the grassland that originally belonged to them.

The White Tatar tribe near the Bohai tribe was only a few thousand people, but what Darong was afraid of was that when the dispute was apart, the Baidadan tribe would attack him. The Khitans were still far away and could only ask for help from the Qi people.

Of course, the potential tribe under the rule of the Bohai Darong tribe cannot be allowed to die. Lu Ning simply took a trip by himself to truly conquer the Darong tribe. Then, it would be a risk to attack the Khitan when he left the west entrance, but he would be much more confident when he left the east entrance.

It was also very good that the Khitan tasted the robbery behind him.

Therefore, the day after seeing Han Derang, Lu Ning took Han Derang, Empress Xiao’s master and servant, and Zhu Yulin Guards and rode their horses north.

The journey is not far, and it takes dozens of miles from Baoan Town to Yanzi City.

After leaving the Yehu Ridge Fortress, the vision was immediately vast, and the grassland was large, but it was the season that was gradually withering.

The leader of the Bohai Sea, Darong, led a few sons, had long greeted outside Yehu Ridge, and they were dismounted and greeted each other.

Nihan, the middle-aged strong man who once led more than two thousand bows and cavalry to fight Lu Ning fiercely, and was later subdued by Lu Ning, was frightened at this time. He never thought that the terrifying person who made him have nightmares for several days was actually Emperor Qi.

Yelu Xidi, who was left behind in the Khitan Central Beijing, was shot and killed by him. What's the point of being himself?

Darong, but he was full of excitement. The emperor of the Southern People, the legendary noble figure in the Golden Palace made of gold, silver and jewelry, is now leading his personal guards out of the frontier, and coming to his own tribe. Where can I start?

When negotiating with Darong, Lu Ning handed over to Han Delang, mainly to draw a big cake for Darong's department.

If a city is set up near Baoan Town and trade with the grassland tribes, the Darong tribe has become an important distribution point for trade with the southern people, and its tribe will inevitably benefit greatly.

However, these big cakes were all in Qi. The Liao war was over, and the Qi people could still occupy the seven states behind the mountain to count.

Speaking of which, Lu Ning is not a cake painting, and he has already thought about the location of the market, just near the city of Zhangjiakou in later generations.

Of course, trade with grassland tribes mainly means using handicraft products to exchange for cattle, sheep and horses. Not to mention military supplies, even if it is an iron cavalry, trade will inevitably be banned.

Moreover, if the war between the Khitan ended this time, if the tentacles of our forces could enter the grassland, it would naturally be another plan.

But no matter what, if the Darong tribe took the lead in surrendering and helped him sincerely, then he would definitely not treat them unfairly.

...

Yanzi City is Tucheng Muzhai. After decades of management by the Bohai people, it is quite steep. The wooden fences are piled up very high and arrow towers are lined up.

When Lu Ning saw it, he planned to start the Shenwu Army. Because the Shenwu Army had already been trained in order to eliminate such northern regions and western regions Tucheng Muzhai.

Lu Ning naturally did not live in the Muzhai. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but was afraid of if he was surrounded by people. He found a slightly higher grass slope with a vast view. The Bohai tribe built an extremely white tent, which was customary to the Darong tribe, and the giant felt tent that only the most distinguished guests would be used. From Darong to the seat of the patriarch, this tent has never been used.

Originally, Darong wanted to worship several girls in the clan to serve the Holy Emperor, but when he saw that the emperor was the Khitan lord, Empress Xiao, who was following the emperor, was shocked and did not dare to mention this. After all, the girl in the clan seemed to be too vulgar when she brought tea and water to the emperor of the Southern People.

The Yulin people supported twenty or thirty felt tents by the Bohai people next to the small river two or three miles away from Caopo. After all, they were the Great Emperor Guards, and each of them was the sixth-rank military officer.

When the Yulin Guard was first established, Yulin Lang was all the eighth-rank official. After the battle in the seven states behind the mountain, Yulin Lang and his guards made great contributions and made thousands of miles of progress and fought bloody battles. This personal guard team was collectively upgraded to the sixth-rank official and was all given the title of the Imperial Front Sword Guard.

This is the little secret that the emperor knew in his heart. When he was a child, he thought that this name was very cool. Now he has a ticket to the imperial guards with swords, which feels very good.
