As he expected, Tuoba Hongyu sent someone over in less than a week to discuss peace talks, Tuoba Hongyu didn't want to fight.

He only said one thing to the envoy of Western Liao, and he asked the envoy to go back and tell Tuoba Hongyu that peace can be discussed, and if you want to have a territory around the God Kingdom, Western Liao must do business with Yuzhou, Western Liao sells war horses, and Yuzhou pays for money. Of course, Yuzhou can also exchange things for things, and if you don’t agree, you will continue to fight.

Tuoba Hongyu had no choice but to disagree. The bastard in Yuzhou still had to continue fighting. Agree? But the Tu tribe has never had a precedent for going out in the past, let alone war horses. In the past, he robbed whatever he wanted and robbed whatever he used, and there was no such thing as trading.

Tuoba Hongyu was not afraid of him, but was afraid that if the remaining 130,000 troops were damaged, he would probably be swallowed by Donghu directly without even the power to resist Donghu. At present, there was nothing better than agreeing. In the past, the army of 300,000 troops could not defeat Donghu, but now there was 130,000 left, which would be even more impossible. At present, Donghu was confronting with the Great Wei and didn't have time to pay attention to him.

After receiving Tuoba Hongyu's reply, he felt very happy and ran to the mountain city to report the good news to Mr. Gong. Gong Ming was very happy to hear the news and had a few drinks with him at noon. During the meal, Gong Ming was very moved that Yuzhou had nearly 300,000 troops forty years ago. Now he has more than the Zhenxi Army at that time, but only 300,000. Compared with what he did, Gong Ming really shamed.

In fact, I can't think of this. The situation at that time is incomparable to the present. What was the situation forty years ago? The Great Wei was famine! The army was not full of food. It would be nice to be able to defend Yuzhou. How could they have the ability to go out to play and attack? And at that time, the infantry had no ability to attack at all.

There is no famine now. He resells arms on the court and makes a lot of money. Only with money can he be able to play the game of attack. Besides, those who take out the attack are all cavalry. If he takes the infantry out, he will probably be cut off before he can get the place to replenish supplies. Waiting for the enemy to be wiped out.

———

He was going to report the result of this war with the Western Liao Dynasty to the court, and the position of the Yuzhou Jiedushi would probably be given.

Logically speaking, there is no need to be afraid of the court now. In the past, he was afraid of the court because he had no military strength. Later, he had no financial strength, so he still couldn't challenge the court. Now, he is not afraid of having money and soldiers, but he doesn't want to get involved in the contest between Grand Master Chen and his uncle so early, and to admit his timidity to the court, he can easily protect himself.

Now he has gained control of the two countries of Yu Shen and Che Chi and several nearby small countries, and he can go to the desert to do business openly. He is also planning to ask He Chengfeng to contact the woman named Halena, who wants to meet Halena himself.

Wang Si told him last time that the Persian Empire in the west fought against the giants in the north in the desert. These two countries were very powerful when fighting. The two major powers argued against each other, and not only the two major powers sent troops, but also a large group of younger brothers below had to fight each other.

The three major countries in the western desert, Persia, Carter, and Seroy, each have at least 10 or 20 vassal states. The reason why I wanted to meet Halena was to personally understand the situation of the inner circle and center of the desert. Now that I have occupied the Kingdom of Yoshen, I have a base on the periphery and can plot against the inner circle.

We are also planning to build two supply stations on the way to the Kingdom of Yushen. There is no way, it takes half a month to get from Sand City to Yushen, and the army is riding a horse faster. It is not so easy to get a caravan from Yushen after Yushen. It is impossible to bring so many goods to the caravan. In the future, if you want to enter the inner circle of the desert, you must supply fast. The most annoying thing about expeditions is supply. How can you get it if you don’t have enough supplies? If you have no food and water, you will die for two or three days. It is necessary to build two supply stations. It can allow the caravan to arrive at the supply station for about a week to rest, and there will be no problems with the caravan on the road. The desert is strong and there are many sand bandits. The supply stations built along the road can garrison a small number of troops to protect the caravans and suppress bandits.

The idea is good, but these have to be done after the New Year. Before the beginning of winter, there are still a lot of things waiting for him to do! For example, sending infantry to Yushen and various surrounding small countries, in the future, the construction and caravans in the mainland of Yuzhou will not be paid to fight in the desert without caravans?

Now I can only pray that the Beggars' Gang's headquarters will be built soon, and next year, the Beggars' Gang will hold a martial arts conference. This time the fight with the people of Western Liao has been reported to the court. He wants the officials and the pass will be unsealed. Yuxia Pass is the closest road to Yuzhou. You can only go out but not enter, and you can play damn it? Anyway, just wait for news. There is also a uncle in the court to support him.

——

This time, another 60,000 war horses were obtained, and it was certain that the cavalry was stationed. The problem was that maintaining 300,000 troops had reached the limit of Yuzhou's population. Currently, the cavalry occupied 130,000, plus the 60,000 is 190,000. The new recruits handed over to Yang Chengyu were 210,000, and the cavalry were trained, and only 140,000 infantry were sold.

He only needs cavalry at present, and he is also preparing to buy 50,000 war horses from Tuoba Hongyu to raise more than 250,000 cavalry. But if he draws people from infantry, the infantry's strength will not be enough. After thinking about it, he finally decided to draw 40,000 from infantry first. At present, there are few infantry, and there is no other place to use infantry except defense. Wei Yan can still suppress it in the mainland, and he can't fight for a while. In the future, when the population increases, he will slowly build infantry.

———

What you need now is to have a good New Year and wait for the imperial court to approve the court and hold the martial arts conference next year.

This year's winter is still a bit colder than last year, but I was quite happy this year. After returning from the Kingdom of God of Desire, he went to Shancheng. The main purpose of coming to Shancheng was to visit Mr. Gong. When winter came, Mr. Gong was not in good health. He was a little worried about Mr. Gong's health. He spent more than two months with Mr. Gong in the mountain city. He had nothing to do to play chess, chat, brag, talk about his future development path and the general trend today to pass the time. He did not return to Yuzhou City until the New Year.

A few days after returning to Yuzhou City, Yang Chengyu ran over from the military camp. Yang Chengyu came to him for nothing else, mainly because he came here to ask for the 60,000 cavalry equipment and 5,000 plate armor.

When he heard that Yang Chengyu was going to build a heavy cavalry again, his mood was instantly not beautiful. Heavy cavalry cost money! The horse armor can be made with hard steel, but the armor of this cavalry is different. So you have to use soft steel. The thick iron cannot be used at all. It is too heavy to run a heavy horse. How much is the output of soft steel? He was so troublesome. There is no way! He had to empty his wealth and buy soft steel from the whole continent. He estimated that the output of soft steel in Shancheng would not be able to make up for 5,000 plate armor in ten years. The last time he built the 5,000 plate armor scared him once. Eight hundred thousand taels were not enough to pay a lot of debt. He sold several times before he was replenished. Yang Chengyu was not satisfied when he saw the horse armor replaced with hard steel, so he asked him to replace the horse armor with soft steel in the future.

——

He didn't know that Yang Chengyu thought of him to build a heavy cavalry after seeing the war horses of the Western Liao people. Because this war horse of the Western Liao people is located on the edge of the desert, it is tall and strong, it is most suitable for building heavy cavalry, but he is just a fool. Otherwise, why did Yang Chengyu not even ask for a heavy cavalry to be built on a heavy cavalry after he bought 30,000 war horses from Simon Kingdom? Yang Chengyu had seen the 30,000 war horses, but it was not suitable for building heavy cavalry at all.

As for the countries around him, it seems that he only had five thousand heavy cavalry in Yuzhou, which made him feel like he was trapped by Yang Chengyu. This is also because he did not understand the problem of war horses and spending.

He was the one who made money and finished it all at once. His troops only cost 5,000 heavy cavalry. For example, the expenses of light cavalry and infantry were all added together, and it was probably not as high as one-third of the expenses of the five,000 heavy cavalry.

There are only two main problems in the surrounding countries. People don’t want to build heavy cavalry. First, the problem of war horses: No war horses suitable for heavy cavalry are just a big deal? It’s probably hard to run any ordinary war horses wearing horse armor, and it’s even more important to add cavalry to it. The weight of the cavalry itself is wearing plate armor, so it’s strange if the weight of the war horse can bear it. The second is the funds: How to build without money? A soldier of the Wei Dynasty made a moon sound of three taels of silver, and the field army had a total of nearly 1.5 million people in the southeast, west and northwest. This month, it’s not a matter of food, grass, and military pay alone, which is four or five million taels of silver. How can you have that much money to build a heavy cavalry with greater expenses?

He, a nouveau riche, owed more than 800,000 taels of silver without even filling the gap between his teeth. The 5,000 heavy cavalry he had just built was killed in one go. The number of armies around the Great Wei countries spent about 5 million a month, how many extra two million taels could he have to spend thousands of heavy cavalry?

Even if he had money in the future, he would probably not be able to build a heavy cavalry. He had basically wiped out all the war horses that the Western Liao people could fight, and there was no suitable war horse for him to build. Most of the horses that the Western Liao people picked out could be used as war horses were taken away by him in two major battles. The war horses that could be selected by the Western Liao people must be the best. The war horses that were nearly 200,000 were wiped off by Yang Cheng.

He was so entangled by Yang Chengyu that he had no choice. After bargaining with Yang Chengyu, he decided to create another five thousand heavy cavalry for him to make up an integer. Yang Chengyu also hummed a small song all the way back to the military camp.

After Yang Chengyu left, he was frowning again and could only pray that the Beggars' Gang's headquarters would be built soon and that martial arts conference could be held. He also went to see the progress of the project. The construction was built quite quickly, and it was estimated that it would be completed by February and March.

——

After waiting for more than a week in Yuzhou City, the court finally sent the approval documents. As he guessed, the court believed that he defeated the Western Liao army twice and was given the title of Yuzhou Military and Political Governor.

Yuxia Pass was also unblocked again and allowed people from all over the country to come and go.

He had long guessed that the court would surrender. Last time he defeated the Western Liao Dynasty, the court gave him a third rank, but this time he was unreasonable to give him a third rank. It was also the court who gave him a military governor for his own face. Besides, there was also a national uncle who helped fuel the fire.

The court had to accept it. Yuzhou was already his. It would be strange if he wanted to come back. He was not Yang Gong, Liu Xuan, and Gu Dashui.

He was young again, and was afraid that he would not be able to do things properly. Now the major forces in the mainland are in a stalemate. He is a little bit big, and if he makes trouble in Yuzhou, it will be easy to bring all the major forces in the mainland to the open.

Besides, if the court killed Liu Zhi, he would not listen to the court now. He is not the person he used to be. Now he is a small warlord. He is not up to the point of being able to do so, but he is definitely qualified to challenge the court. If the court really wants to come and beat him, he can drag the Three Feudalists into the water. He has a private grudge with the court and there is no conflict of interest at all, and the court does not need to come and beat him.

Just a false name, just give it.
