About one hundred miles away from the city is Qingnipu.

Duli is a small place. The town and the villages within a radius of more than ten miles have a total population of only more than 4,000 or less than 5,000, most of them are Han people. Qingnipu is slightly larger, with the total population of nearly 8,000, which is twice that of Duli.

Most of the capitals were Han people, and half of the Han people were here, and the Goguryeo people, Fuyu people, Woju people, Sumo people, Silla people and other tribes occupied the other half. Since the Andong Protector retreated westward, the Tang Dynasty's government orders could not be reached. Twenty years ago, the Bohai Kingdom invaded Laizhou, and the fleet was stationed here.

Later, although the Bohai Kingdom was afraid of the power of the Tang Dynasty and had to give up here, in fact, the "Qing Nipu Ling" in Qingnipu is still a Goguryeo from the new Bohai Kingdom. This person also has a surname, namely Song, and is also a former Goguryeo royal family. It was with his support that Gao Baosheng could stand firm in the capital.

"What, the wastes in Weizi Village... not only did they not succeed, but they made those Han people break into the village and kill a fallen flower?"

The new news made Gao Song extremely angry. He broke several porcelains in succession, and then felt a little distressed: This is white porcelain from the Tang Dynasty's Zheng Kiln. If it was sent to the Bohai Kingdom, one piece would be enough to get a cow.

In addition to being angry, Takamatsu also felt fear.

As a man who destroyed the country, he was not born when Goguryeo was destroyed, but he still remembers the fear in his eyes when his father mentioned the scene. Now the news came from the capital that the group of new Tang people claimed to be officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that after a long time of silence, the Tang Dynasty finally targeted the Northeast again.

"Didn't it mean... the Tufan people entangled the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty could not draw out its troops..." murmured to himself, fear forced Gao Song to be cautious: "Since that's the case... Pin Mou Ding"

A man wearing Han costumes next to him came out after hearing this: "Ming Gong, I'm here."

"You know Tangren the best. Tell me, is Tangren really going to call him?"

If the Tang Dynasty really came to attack, let alone the scattered places in Liaodong, even Silla, the two countries of the Bohai Sea could not resist it even if they joined forces.

"Impossible, didn't the Ming Gong say that the Tufan people were in the west, and the Tang Dynasty was busy entangling with them. Moreover, there were remnants of the Turkic people in the north, so it was impossible for them to draw the national power."

"What's going on with the Tang people in the capital?"

"I thought it would be a border general from Dengzhou or Laizhou. He wanted to make a contribution, so he came across the sea."

"If this is true, that's fine. Gao Baosheng, that idiot, went to provoke Tangren for no reason. Otherwise, with him there, at least he could find out some detailed information..."

However, Gao Baosheng did not take Ye Chang's only dozens of people seriously, thinking that he could solve the problem, so he did not report it to Qingnipu. Then Ye Chang swept the Gao family with thunder, and there was not even a sporadic escape. When Qingnipu got the news, the situation in the capital had been settled. Gao Song didn't know the depth of Ye Chang, so he instigated Weizizhai to attack.

I never thought that before the people of Weizi Village had captured the capital, they first sent Ye Chang to attack Nan Jiyun to attack him, and then threatened his family to force the young and strong to surrender. Now, Weizi Village and the other three surrounding villages have all been destroyed by Ye Chang, and all the population has been moved to the capital.

"Anyway, we must understand whether the Tang people are going to return again." Gao Song looked at this subordinate: "You are the most knowledgeable about Sinology, so you will go to Duli as my envoy. Openly, they only flatter the Tang official envoys, secretly inquire about his weaknesses and reality. How many people have come, which generals are leading the army, whether the person is greedy or honest, they must be found out."

Zheng Mou Ding responded and looked around. Indeed, Gao Song was happy to use Goguryeo, so there were no suitable Han staff around him. Only because he had a special relationship with Silla, he was the most proficient in Sinology. For example, Gao Song called himself Qingnipu, and others called him the title of Chief, County Magistrate, Master, and Yu Qian called him the name of Chief of Goguryeo. Only Zheng Mou Ding, but he was honored by the title of Prince of the Han people, called Mingfu.

"It's not time to go, the villain will set out now. However, since the villain is going to flatter, he must spare some gifts."

Gao Song took a breath with some pain: "Okay, okay, that century-old ginseng, you can bring one, and fur, etc.... By the way, I will send it to him the white tiger skin I received."

"The master is too generous, but he is just a Tang minister, and the white tiger skin is enough to offer it to the Khan of the Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, it's better to offer to the Bohai King and ask Bohai King to support us."

There was a voice of opposition below, but Zheng Mou Ding understood Gao Song's meaning: "Ming Gong really has a strategy, and this is the plan of the Han people to force Qin to destroy Shu."

The rest of the people looked at him in confusion, and Gao Song also blinked his eyes, but his face was full of a conceited expression.

"When Qin wanted to destroy Shu, he gave him a generous gift." Zheng Mou Ding was also a little ignorant of this, but the expressions of everyone still made him secretly happy: "Everyone, I have said on weekdays that there is great wisdom in Sinology. Everyone should learn Sinology with me, otherwise you will not know the intentions of Ming Gong, and you will naturally object."

"Ahem... I'll say this later. Zheng Mou Ding, you go and go quickly, and don't delay."

Zheng Mou Ding came out as he said. He came from Qingnipu and naturally chose to take a boat. He took only one day to get to Duli. However, what surprised him was that a new stone tablet was erected on the south side of the waterway that entered the port area, and the words on the stone tablet were "Lushun".

When Shi Mouding knew these two words, he could guess the meaning of these two words, but he had no idea why this monument was erected here.

When his boat docked in Duli, he found that Duli Port, which was usually noisy, was very quiet now. Except for a group of people waiting with weapons, there were almost no pedestrians on the street. After he landed, someone immediately came up: "Who are you waiting for, what are you here?"

"I was sent by Gao Gong, the magistrate of Pingguo County, to visit the angels of the court, and asked for a report."

"Pingguo County? Where is that?" a patrol soldier asked in surprise.

"It's Qingnipu." Zheng Mou Ding tskated: "In the time of the Former Yan, it was named Pingguo. Although it is now a county in Jimizhou, it has not been officially named..."

"Okay, okay, what about the front and back Yan? We only know the great man of the Tang Dynasty." The man interrupted Zheng Mou Ding's show of doing things: "You want to see the general? Then you have to go to Lushun. Only General Nan is here."

"General Nan?"

“That’s right.”

When Qi Mouding heard that it was a general, he wanted to see him first and then find out the truth, so he bowed: "Okay, I'll ask to see this General Nan first."

"General is in the camp, He Laosan, you take this messenger with you... Sorry, messenger, your subordinates can only wait here."

"Where are the ones who offer gifts?" said Zheng Mou Ding: "I brought a gift to the general."

"Please put the gift here first. Don't worry, we have military discipline. The thief who was thieves two days ago have suffered, and will never touch your property."

Pin Mou Ding just listened to this. He followed He Laosan and asked carefully along the way. He soon learned that He Laosan was originally a Han Chinese from the capital and had been recruited as a militia for eight days. Today, they were taking turns to patrol the city, so he patrolled everywhere under the leadership of the gang leader.

In other words, this guy was conquered after the defeat of the people from Weizi Village. Zheng Mouding thought in his mind that the Tang people should have insufficient troops, so he was eager to recruit these people. As for what a militia was, Zheng Mouding thought that it should be a mansion soldier or something.

He Laosan didn't know that he had leaked the news, but he proudly said that his family had assigned twenty acres of Yongye Field - but he was an orphan man, and now he was recruited as a militia again. There was no one to farm at home. He thought it was over, but he never thought that in addition to patrol every day, the other thing they had was to farm, and the goal of farming was their own Yongye Field.

It means that everyone is ploughing their own fields. Who dares not use their strength and has good cooperation? In the past, one person may not have completed a job in ten days. Now ten people will solve it in half a day, so naturally there will be time to train and patrol.

It is this system of co-cultivation that made He Laosan, who was originally dissatisfied with participating in the militia, feel that there is no better official in this world than Ye Langjun.

He heard him praise the Langjun Ye and Ye Shoukeng. The official of the Tang Dynasty was a little more respectful to him. He had only been here for a few days, and his ability was extraordinary.

Finally, he was taken to the military camp, which was located in the north of Duli Town. It was originally a field of Gao's family. Now he has built three rows of simple wooden houses, surrounded by fences. Across the distance, someone was shouting inside. Jim Mou Ding stretched his head and looked at it, but there were a group of untidy militias who were being trained.

After He Lao San helped to clamp Mou Dingtong report, he was taken into the military camp. However, General Nan did not see him immediately, but asked him to wait. He also took the opportunity to look at the soldiers here.

From a distance, I saw a majestic man wearing armor, scolding the militias that were not in array. In the eyes of Mu Ding, the militias were already standing quite well, but the man wearing armor was still not satisfied. Yu Qian called a group of people and arranged them in arrays for the militias to show them.

When he first saw the militia, Jim Mou Ding felt that he was quite well-organized, but after seeing these people in the array, he suddenly felt frightened. There were not many people, but there were only forty-eight people. It was not necessary to say that the order was banned. The key was that the momentum they showed was, although they were silent, they also walked forward bravely and could not stop it, which made people frightened.

This is a strong soldier

Qi Mou Ding could only see this, and he couldn't help asking He Laosan beside him: "Are these people the personal guards of your head coach?"

"Where are, they are militias like us, and they still have to work hard on weekdays. However, General Nan saw that we were not practicing properly, so he asked Ye Langjun to let them demonstrate. The personal guards around Ye Langjun are more powerful than them."

"Ah, there are even more powerful?"

“That’s nature”

Pin Mou Ding swallowed his saliva and was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, Gao Song sent him to peek at the truth, otherwise he would have encountered the strong soldier suddenly, wouldn't he be seeking death.

In this way, the failure of Gao Baosheng and Weizizhai is a natural thing.

"How many strong soldiers are there like this?" he asked again.

He thought he couldn't ask, but he never thought that He Laosan was a honest person. After hearing the question, he replied: "There are more than 200 people... But I heard that they have two thousand people, and they will all come in a while."

"two thousand……"

Zheng Mou Ding smacked his tongue. Gao Song called himself the Qingnipu Order, but there were only more than 500 households and 2,000 people living in Qingnipu City. In addition, the surrounding villages and tribes, there were only more than 8,000 people under his rule. If he had to go out and gather those who obeyed him, he could have gathered more than a thousand soldiers. However, such a mob was comparable to the new militia. How could he compare with the strong soldiers?

I must persuade me when I go back and find a way to make this place...

Qi Mou Ding had a plan in his mind, and finally waited until Nan Jiyun summoned him to meet him. After he came up, he fell to the ground and gave a big gift.

Nan Jiyun didn't care, so he just asked about his purpose.

"I was ordered to come to visit the new officials of the court. In Liaodong, I have not seen the officials appointed by the court for a long time. Therefore, some people who did not know the national laws offended Ye Shouqiao and the general's power. When they heard that they were either killed or captured, Gaoming's Mansion also specially sent a gift and ordered me to bring it, and now it is on the ship."

"So that's the case. I wonder what gifts are there?" Nan Jiyun was a little surprised.

He originally thought that this must be a local Hu people but had bad intentions, so he wanted to plot against them, but he never thought that he was here to give gifts.

"What I gave to the general was a mink coat. The cold winter in the north. With this coat, the general would not be afraid of the cold weather." Zheng Mou Ding smiled and said, "What I caught was a white tiger skin for Ye Shou, and a century-old ginseng is... "

When Nan Jiyun heard that it was such things, he was immediately displeased. It would be great if he gave horses, armor, and weapons.

Now they lack the most. The horses have seized hundreds of horses, bought more than ten from each village, and gathered up a team of 120 horses. However, there are only thirty or forty horses that can be used as war horses, and the rest are at most considered transportation. Although there are weapons, there are no such things as Modao that can break the armor and trap the formation, and there are even fewer armors. Ye Chang's guard is a false reputation. When Princess Yuzhen got him this official position, she clearly stated that he did not need to go to Andong to report, but she could not imagine that there were real officers and soldiers with one soldier. This means that except for his own set of armor, he could not have to give him armor. The armor he now was still obtained in Longyou, and there were twenty more mails, which were owned by the people who followed him to Longyou.

He can wear these armors to scare Li Yong, but he has to be careful that the news will come to Chang'an. Otherwise, if he owns armored soldiers, he can give him a crime of treason. Fortunately, he has the final say in Liaodong now, whether there is or not. If the news is not transmitted back to Chang'an, there is no need to worry too much.

"General, that mink..."

"What's the use of these things? It's better to send some meat." Nan Jiyun waved his hand since he was not interested, "I know all your intentions. Let's do this. I'll send someone to see Ye Shouzhao and send the gifts to him. The military camp here is not suitable for you to stay for a long time, so let's go now."
