In Yunzhong City, after winter begins, it is the most lively time.

In spring, summer and autumn, we have to cultivate, trade and grazing on this barren land in order to accumulate resources to survive. We also have to worry about the sudden rise of wolf smoke, and endless grassland peoples suddenly surge into the clouds, burning, killing and looting, opening up the path to a more prosperous place to the south.

These three seasons with relatively better climates are the most difficult for the people in the clouds. Survival in the border areas has never been simple.

In winter, when birds fly away from mountains and people die, people in other places lament the lonely winter and the boring days. However, the people in the clouds have different life pleasures from other places.

In winter, the people scattered outside flocked to Yunzhongcheng.

First, winter is not the season for grassland ethnic groups to use troops, so you don’t have to be on duty at the Beacon Fortress, and you can spend the winter with peace of mind.

The second is the place in the clouds. Although the Sui Dynasty ended hundreds of years of chaos in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the model of garrisoning the military mansion was continued in the border areas. The people had a deep relationship with Heng'an Yingyang Mansion. They usually farmed for Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, and transported supplies for Heng'an Yingyang Mansion in wartime, or guarded the city. In exchange, they did not pay taxes to the county government for production, nor did they respond to mediocre orders from the county government.

The clouds are barren, and Heng'an Yingyang Mansion needs to be allocated grain and food supplies by the county government and even Hedong and other places. These military people belonging to Heng'an Yingyang Mansion can also share the benefits. In winter, the household registration is difficult, and the household registration is gathered inside and outside Yunzhong City. The military administration also needs to open warehouses to release grain for their chewing and wrapping in winter. Heng'an Yingyang Mansion has no ability to distribute grain and food supplies to various military and civilian sites. It is better to concentrate tens of thousands of household registrations as much as possible while the winter is in the air.

The six Xianbei towns were in this model. The Great Sui Dynasty traced its roots and originated from the six Xianbei towns, and the military government garrison model was still used in the border areas.

In winter, if you concentrate your military residence household registration and gather in one place, you will save food, firewood and other materials. You can also take the opportunity to strengthen and renovate various urban defense facilities in the military residence. This is a matter of one thing and two things.

Because of this reason, every winter, Yunzhongcheng is a lively scene. People from all over the villages and forts, almost all the soldiers who had been guarding the beacon towers for half a year, rushed back. Anyway, the places left behind are in poverty. If the grassland people are willing to starve to death in the ice and snow, most of the horses will be able to catch up with the robbery, and they will not be able to catch anything.

Even if the village forts are flattened, the living nests can be dug out in two days, and the trenches and villages will not last long. Beacon towers are built by building up, and the rammed earth has been exposed for a hundred years. They have been blowing and sunny for hundreds of years, and the rammed earth is extremely hard. I want to completely flatten one by one, so that those grassland people can chew slowly with their teeth. Anyway, after so many years, none of these grassland people are willing to do such stupid things in winter.

In the Yunzhong City, tens of thousands of people were added for a time, and inside the city, outside the city, there were everywhere. The people under the military government served in the army every year and had their own discipline. There were winter camps with nests all over the ground outside the city, and the empty houses in the city were also full of people. According to the forts and villages, they were well organized. In the cold season, so many people were not worried about the occurrence of epidemics.

Every day, the strength of the spirit will be gathered, either to teach and train military formations, or to renovate city defense facilities. When these things are over, community fires will rise inside and outside the city, and people wrapped in leather robes will gather together, watching the show, children chase after me, and there is a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Every five days, the head of the fortress or the head of the clan will collect grain, rice and firewood according to the household registration registered in the roster. They are all supplied by Heng'an Yingyang Mansion. The quantity is almost the same. With the food he brings, he can also deal with the fullness of his stomach every day.

If the wind and snow stop and the sun rises, you can see many people inside and outside the city, chatting while basking in the sun. That comfortable look seems to be impossible for an official.

If you have a few more words of Kaihuang Tongbao in your waist, you may have to find a secluded place in a mysterious way and secretly drink a few sips of the turbid wine brewed by the store - from winter to spring, it is strictly forbidden to brew wine in the clouds, saving food, and if you catch it, you will have to beat military sticks and punish hard labor. But you still can't stop the wine insects. If you can drink a few sips of wine, it will be completely beautiful, and you will not change it if you enter the Golden Palace of Luoyang City!

For many years, people in the border areas have lived like this and enjoyed themselves. No matter what kind of border and barbaric people the heartland of the Central Plains regards them as, they still survive in this most dangerous environment and resist the invasions of the grassland people again and again. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail, but they have never left this land.

Although the situation in Yunzhongcheng at this time was a dangerous situation that had not been seen in decades of the founding of the Sui Dynasty. Liu Wuzhou led them to resist the Turks in the north and resist Wang Rengong's hostility in the south. The military palace was extremely nervous to store food and could not even last until the beginning of spring.

But tens of thousands of household registrations are still basically gathered here, and there are few people who migrated away, not to mention how many young men from Mayi came to join the army.

Just because they all regard Liu Wuzhou as a hero!

But now, there seems to be another hero that is respected by Yunzhongcheng.

During these days, another earth-shaking news spread in Yunzhong City.

On that day, outside Yunzhong City, a man broke into the nine-sentence Tatar camp on the grassland, defeated the Turkic envoys, and captured the Lelangjun, who colluded with the Turks. Wang Rengong's general Zhang Wansui, did another great thing!

This Le Langjun was ordered by Liu Ying to issue a letter to the prefect Wang, questioning Zhang Wansui about collusion with the Turks. However, he found that the prefect Wang sent the Mayi Yueqi to suppress and cleanse his old neighbor in Shenwu County.

The Le Langjun was angry and gathered the men of Mayi, first killed the Mayi Yueqi cavalry, and then seized the Shenwu City with his backhand!

After the prefect Wang gathered the elite troops of the Yingyang Mansion of Mayi to counterattack Shenwu City, Le Langjun raised troops to counterattack, defeating the thousands of elite troops with fewer defeats in one fell swoop, and shining the troops under Shanyang City.

After scolding the crimes of Prefect Wang, Le Langjun is about to return to the north and return to Liu Ying's command!

Such news spread inside and outside Yunzhong City. The people of Yunzhong, who were originally worried under Wang Rengong's pressure, were immediately stirred up by the news.

Wang Rengong took the name of a noble family and exhausted the financial resources of a county in Mayi to expand its military power, oppressing Liu Wuzhou, who was facing the front line of the Turks, was in a dilemma. He even colluded with the Turks and wanted to completely annex the Yunzhong area.

Originally, it was nothing to be under Wang Rengong's rule, but everyone saw that war last year. Liu Wuzhou kept fighting to the death, but Wang Rengong was preserving his strength. Later, it was Duke Tang Li Yuan who came, and Wang Rengong joined the war and forced the Turks to return south. Finally, he took advantage of the Turks' retreat and attacked decisively. The one who defeated the Turks was Heng'an Yingyang Mansion!

Wang Rengong also had a relationship with the Turks. What should we do if we cut the land in Yunzhong from the Turks?

The people in the Yunzhong were very resentful to Wang Rengong, but one was afraid of Wang Rengong's powerful strength, and the other was that the food supply was stuck in Wang Rengong's hands. Everyone felt that the day was in danger.

However, Xu Le's attack completely exposed Wang Rengong's essence of being strong on the outside but doing it, making the military and civilians in Yunzhong quite proud.

What's there to be afraid of with such an enemy? Just carry troops and fight! Just wait for winter, wait for Le Langjun to return to Liu Ying's attack.

At that time, elite soldiers and generals will go directly to Shanyang!
