Since ancient times, if you want to enter Yanmen County and arrest the Yanmen Pass, you must first pass Pingcheng County (that is, Datong in later generations).

Pingcheng County is the first line of defense to guard the northern fortress.

There is Shitou Mountain in the west (i.e. Hongtao Mountain in later generations) and Baideng Mountain in the east (i.e. Cailiang Mountain in later generations).

Between the two mountains, there is a river coming from the north.

Pingcheng County is right by the river at the mountain entrance.

It can be said that there are mountains and waters, grass and sheep.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, King Xin of Han fought against the Huns in Yanmen and asked for peace with the Huns many times in private, but was suspected by Emperor Gaozu.

King Xin of Han was afraid of being killed, so he simply rebelled and surrendered to the Huns.

At the same time, he also gave his capital Mayi (that is, Shuozhou in later generations) to the Xiongnu, and at the same time agreed with the Xiongnu to go south to attack Taiyuan together.

Emperor Gaozu personally led his army north to fight, and he won all the battles. He became obscene to the enemy and entered Pingcheng with light troops. He was finally besieged by Maodun on Baideng Mountain.

The historical siege of Bai Dengshan happened here.

Today, Baidengshan is still there. Pingcheng County, which has been operating in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, has long become a place where Hu people raise cattle and sheep.

Pingcheng is located in a dangerous place, and it also guards the throat of the north and south. It is used to vent its mud in summer and autumn, and they like to stay here.

In order to prevent the lack of eyes from coming in to graze secretly.

You can rely on others, but you don’t want to go south to graze if you don’t ask him to do so. That’s not possible.

Secondly, whether it is smuggling salt from Hedong County or stealing iron and grain from where to the caravans on the grassland, they basically have to pass here.

  There is a good thing to get from it, and middlemen can make a difference, so they can make money even if they are lying down.

In the early morning of the end of July, the sun had not yet risen. The mountain pass north of Pingcheng, the thin summer fog floated on the grass layer by layer, but had not yet dissipated.

The mist was spread flat on the ground like wool.

The horse's hooves, which were wet by the fog, stepped on the grass, and the jingling sound of the horse bell broke the tranquility of the mountain pass.

The Hu people guarding the mountain pass were awakened, got up, listened with their ears, and found that they had heard nothing wrong.

A little leader hurriedly ran forward a few steps, first shouting in Hu language, then shouting in stiff Chinese:

"Who is ahead?"

The ding-dangling horse ringtone stopped, and then a sound came from the opposite side:

"Cross team, tea, brown sugar, spirits, soap."

In just ten short words, it was concise and clear, which made the little leader look happy and quickly sent a few people to check it out.

After a while, the Hu people brought a Han people back:

"It's the horse team, I brought a lot of good things."

"Okay, okay! Hurry up, report to the adults right away."

The little leader sent someone to Pingcheng to report the message, and at the same time, he personally took the horse team to a valley to wait.

The caravans of the Han people did not all come from the south.

In recent years, there has been a special caravan every year, bringing the most precious tea and brown sugar, men's favorite spirits, and women's favorite soaps, from the north.

I heard that they set out from the distant Liangzhou, entered the grassland, and walked thousands of miles before they arrived at Yanmen.

At this time, it is the happiest time for the tribe, which is comparable to a festival.

This caravan only comes once a year, and the stay time is as long as one month or as short as half a month, and it will leave in a hurry.

But this is enough.

At the beginning, Xue Guini led tens of thousands of string-controlling men left by Fu Luohan to join Ke Bineng.

In this process, his strength was weakened by Ke Bi Neng.

When he fled to Budugen, he lost some of it.

Then Qin Lang defeated Kebien and Budugen's coalition forces and lost a part of it.

Over the years, Wang Xiaoer has really been doing the New Year, and every year has become worse.

It was not until Wei State appointed King Guiyi and led his tribes back to Yanmen again, and gathered some small tribes that the trend of population decline was slightly stopped.

Even so, there are only tens of thousands of warriors who can get on horseback and control the strings in the clan.

This shows how much loss of tribal population has been in recent years.

But it was precisely because the Xueguini tribe had a small population that Wei State was relieved to let him graze in Yanmen.

The tribe has a small population, so there is not much time to trade.

After Xiao Guini learned that a caravan was coming from the north, he was a little surprised.

He immediately sent troops to the mountain pass and protected the caravan into Pingcheng.

This year's horse team seems to be much larger than in previous years, so it naturally brings much more goods.

Yu Gui Ni couldn't help but feel curious::

"You came here half a month earlier than in previous years, which is rare."

The manager heard what Xue Guini asked, and there was a look of helplessness on his face and sighed:

"The leader didn't know anything. According to previous years' customs, we really had to stay at the foot of Yinshan Mountain for at least half a month."

"It's just that this year is different. Feng Langjun from Liangzhou led his troops through the desert from Liangzhou, hoping to go south by using Yinshan."

"At the beginning, Ke Bineng not only agreed, but even sent troops to help. Later, he didn't know what happened, and the two sides finally fought."

"Now the entire Yinshan soldiers are in trouble, and there is chaos everywhere. Who dares to stay there?"

Speaking of this, the manager sighed again, "But this goods can't be brought back, right? So he had to come and vent the Guini leader."

When Xiao Guini heard this, he was shocked first, and then he was delighted:

"There is a fight in the other side of Yinshan?"

The Han and Wei people started fighting in Guanzhong, and of course he knew it.

Because last month, Bingzhou recruited a lot of troops to Guanzhong.

Bigui from Taiyuan to the south also sent people to Yanmen to let the yugumi produce some horses, cattle and sheep to provide resources to Guanzhong.

However, the specific situation of the matter was not known when Guanzhong was formed.

What you can find is basically some fragmentary news.

Some say that the Han people are powerful, while others say that the Wei people won.

But these are not what you need to care about when you are leaking back to the mud.

Anyway, no matter who wins, people will have to look at Yanmen, right?

Now, near the Han area, there is no decent tribe except myself.

Even Ke Bineng, who is far away in Yinshan, is not a person who is willing to surrender to others.

So at this time, when I heard that Ke Bi Neng fought with the Han people, although I was a little surprised, I felt it was reasonable.

The most important thing is that the mud is happy to see this happening.

Because the adult and his uncle were killed one after another, he and Ke Bineng had a deep feud.

"How is the battle over Yinshan? Who won?"

Xue Guini asked anxiously.

The manager shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"The leader of the scattered man made things difficult for me. When we encounter military chaos, we can't even avoid it. How dare we inquire?"

"Anyway, when we left, I heard that Feng Langjun and Ke Bi were fighting hard, and both sides had their own casualties."

After hearing this, Xue Guini nodded and agreed:

"Yes, Ke Bieneng can't underestimate it. The Han army came across the desert and was able to fight Ke Bieneng in Yinshan. It was already very powerful."

"Yes, yes!" The manager nodded repeatedly and agreed, "That is, in Yinshan, if it was really in Liangzhou, hehe..."

"Haha!" Xue Guini looked at the manager and was also laughing:

"After that, you came too early this time. We have confiscated the fur in our hands. As for the wool, we have not started to cut it..."

When the manager heard this, he immediately laughed and said:

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we can wait."

After venting the mud and taking care of it, he said slowly:

"I mean, you brought too many goods this year. If it were the prices in previous years, we might not have enough fur and wool to exchange for you."

"So I hope the price of goods will be lower this year."

"Captain Kebineng, you are taking advantage of the danger!" The manager immediately cried out, "We haven't sold much of our goods in Yinshan."
