If you cannot reveal your wealth, it will attract people's covetousness.

The prosperity and prosperity of Taozhou Jiangxin City has attracted countless people's jealousy.

At the foot of Maiji Mountain, the source of Tao River, the north bank of the Yellow River. The settlement of the Yeli Ministry is also the place where Yeli Acai, the leader of the Zhili Ministry, is located. There are abundant water and grass here, and there are many cattle and sheep.

However, the people of the Yeli tribe have always been obsessed with their former tribal territory. Three hundred years ago, Zhili ascended the throne and appointed him as the general of Bolu. The tribes under his tent were stationed in the Baishishan area and hunted for nomadic hunting. Later, they gradually settled in Tao, Min, and Fangzhou to the Yellow River area under the Maiji Mountain to the south.

When the Yeli tribe was at its peak, there were three upper tribes in the gorge and four lower tribes in the gorge and four lower tribes in the gorge, collectively known as the seventh tribes in the gorge. There were tens of thousands of cavalry and the population was less than 100,000. The jurisdiction reached the east along the Tao River and the south to the Yellow River at the foot of Maiji Mountain. Almost the later Gannan region was their territory.

But now they only have one source of Tao River, and even the Qiang River is mostly controlled by the Han people.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Jiangxin City?"

Zhili's long hair was loose and had a lot of braids. Although his hair was white, he was very energetic and his eyes were taxed. This six-foot-tall old patriarch was a little moved by his grandson's idea of ​​robbing Jiangxin City.

There are countless flocks of cattle, horses and sheep, tea and porcelain, and many fur cloth. If they can conquer Jiangxin City, it will be great. However, some people oppose that Jiangxin City is the only border city that still trades with Tuyuhun after the last war. If Jiangxin City attacks Jiangxin City, I am afraid that the Tang people will not open the border city again in the future, which will be more troublesome.

After all, the Zhili tribe is close to Taozhou. The existence of this border city not only makes it convenient for them to trade, but also can also charge other passers-by tribe caravans to set up checkpoints.

Of course, there is another biggest worry. What if the Tang army attracts revenge?

"Jiangxin City usually has 600 soldiers garrisoned, and there are not many soldiers, but the terrain is quite unique. It is surrounded by Tao River on three sides and land on the other side. It is also built with a two-meter-high earth wall, and there is no door open. It is all about entering and leaving the island by two floating bridges."

Last time, Yeliyi went to Jiangxin City with the caravan and drew a map after returning.

"To attack and capture Jiangxin City, you can only cross the floating bridge from the river, but there are bridgeheads on both sides of the two floating bridges, which are tall and strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Yeli's head was shook at the map.

"Although it seems that the fastest crossing the bridge to the island, it is a dead end and is blocked. Two bridgeheads on both sides of the river bank guard the pontoon bridge. If you want to cross the bridge, you will get the fort first. It is difficult for us to be sudden. Before we can win the bridgehead, the Tang army on the island will definitely destroy the pontoon bridge."

Yi Lian thought for a while, "Then let's go directly from the land and destroy their wall!"

Acai still shook his head.

It is not that easy to destroy a rammed earth wall that is two meters high and more than three meters wide at the bottom. There is no door. It would be quite beneficial for the Tang army to stand on the top of the city and be condescending.

"Why directly cross the Tao River to attack?"

The Yeli Ministry lived in this area, including the Yellow River, Tao River, Qiang River, and many rivers, so they were not unfamiliar with rivers and would use sheepskin rafts to cross the river. What if they prepared more sheepskin rafts and directly crossed the river to attack?

Yeli's eyes looked at the simple map.

"There are no walls on these three sides of the river?"

"It turns out there are no walls, but the Tang people have been repairing walls recently, but the walls are not high, only one person is tall."

One person is tall, but not tall, and you may even leapt over by horses. But there is a problem. The Tao River is outside the wall, and the river beach is below. The river beach is soft and there are even no shore ports in many places. They cross the river on sheepskin rafts, and it is impossible for them to carry many ladders or the like.

Another person supplemented on the side.

"Along the three sides of the river, there are only a few places with flattering river beaches, but the Tang people planted many pickets on the river beach in front of the wall and put a lot of horse-resisting horses."

A Cai sighed, "It seems that this Taozhou governor is indeed a powerful figure. Although there are few soldiers on the island, he has made full use of the terrain and has made strict defenses."

"What should I do?"

Yeliyi Lian was very jealous of the wealth on the island, and he was very unwilling to give up.

A Cai sneered twice, "If you can't attack strongly, then take your wits. Next time, you will make the caravan bigger and first sneak into the island. Then I will attack outside to attract the attention of the Tang army. You will take the opportunity to attack on the island. As long as you capture a bridgehead or that wall, even if you capture a section of the river bank, we can take the opportunity to enter immediately. As long as we go to the island, six hundred Tang army will be cut down in just a meal." When he said this, Zhili A Cai looked cold.

One of Acai's sons said worriedly, "But if Jiangxin City is robbed, what if the Tang army takes revenge?"

"Revenge? Do they dare to take revenge?" Yeli's Cai thought that the Tang army did not have the courage. Last time, Murong Fuyun brought 50,000 troops, and actually retreated voluntarily against less than 20,000 Tang army. This made Yeli Cai think it was very unhappy, and Fu Yun was too timid.

Taozhou.

Lintan Academy is being built in an effort, and it is completely based on Zhang Chao's personal planning drawings. With those slaves and free labor, the Academy is progressing very quickly.

There is a large playground, and Zhang Chao even specially built a polo stadium, a football stadium, etc. The teaching building around the playground is a teaching building, and the classrooms are very spacious and bright. Teachers' dormitories, student dormitories, canteens, bathrooms, toilets, and academy are also surrounded by walls.

This will also be the closed boarding school, where you can take two days off for five days to go to school.

The teaching method is directly used in Chongwenguan Primary School and Bailu Academy, and the teaching materials are also directly used in the set edited by Zhang Chao before.

Children of the military soldiers are exempt from tuition, and only need to pay miscellaneous fees, books, food and accommodation fees, but the children of the foreigners have to pay all of them. It may be a burden to support their children to go to school, but sending them to school can reduce some taxes. If you study well, you can also get scholarships.

Zhang Chao attached great importance to this matter, and he felt that this was an excellent way to assimilate those people.

Originally, Zhang Chao planned to let the children of the foreigners enroll for free, but later he thought that free things were always not cherished, so all tuition, miscellaneous fees, books, food, accommodation and other fees were collected. But he just found some reasons to return the money to these foreigners, such as giving children a tax reduction, and children who have good studies can also receive scholarships, scholarships, etc.

Although the results are still the same, the process is different.

Zhang Chao likes to be more complicated.

"Sanlang, you are indeed here and are looking for you everywhere." Nagashi Ma Zhou hurried over with his robe.

"Why is it so urgent? Could it be that Tuyuhun is fighting?" Zhang Chao replied with a smile.

Ma Zhou actually nodded, "It's almost the same."

It turned out that Zhang Chao had sent troops to destroy the Yeli tribe, and his reputation rose sharply and soon spread to the opposite side. As a result, a few people came today, claiming to be sent by Yeli tribe leader Yeli.

Yeligang and Yelixiong are both tribe leaders, but Yelixiong is only the leader of a small tribe of three thousand people, but Yeligang is the leader of the Yeli tribe, one of the eight major tribes of Dangxiang Qiang. The Yeli tribe has 5,000 knights.

This small tribe of Norixiong was actually driven out of the Yeri tribe back then. It can only be regarded as a small branch of the Yeri tribe, but it has long been rejected.

But now, Zhang Chao destroyed Norio's troops who were not subject to the control of his territory, but Norigo sent someone to negotiate.

"What's this Nori just thinking about?"

"His messenger said that we should hand over the remaining two thousand Yeli people back to them."

Zhang Chao narrowed his eyes and sneered.

"What about that?"

"Otherwise, the five thousand knights of Yeli's troops will flatten our Taozhou."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Chao laughed, "Isn't this Ye Ligang? I saw that we have been very prosperous recently, so I wanted to take advantage of the situation and robbery. Did he really think we are so fussy? I'm really scared of five thousand cavalry. Tell him, how far it is, Ye Lixiong's troops were not part of him, a hundred years ago. They didn't care about the affiliation of the Tang Dynasty's subordinates in the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

The territory of the Yeli tribe is opposite Hezhou and does not directly border Taozhou. It has to pass through the territory of the Yeli tribe in Tuyuhun. The pronunciation of the two tribes is similar. However, the Yeli tribe is the Dangxiang Qiang tribe, while the Yeli tribe is the Xianbei tribe in Tuyuhun.

Zhang Chaocai didn't believe that the Yeli tribe wanted to support his people or something.

Norio's tribe has been away from Nori's tribe for a hundred years, and I haven't seen them make any moves for so long. Now I'm going to make a fuss.

"Sanlang, I think the Yeli tribe must have seen Jiangxin City be very popular, so I want to cheat us. I am a little worried, will these damn Qiang people come to attack us at that time?"

Jiangxin City is now crucial to Taozhou. Taozhou's military supplies, food and money, even the construction of cities and roads, and even the future land reclamation and farming, all the capital is counted on this Jiangxin City.

"Send more troops to Jiangxin City to strengthen defense. In addition, send more scouts on the border and directly send them a hundred miles south."

"That's just going deep into the territory of Yeli Ministry. Will there be any problems?"

"Let the scouts be careful. Anyway, the land is vast and sparsely populated, so as long as it is not surrounded, it will be fine. If the scouts are spread more, we will have more warning time."

Zhang Chao thought that Noribud did not have the courage to do anything, at most he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail. It was like some families on the roadside in later generations who deliberately raised more chickens, deliberately kept them on the roadside, and even often fed them on the road. The chickens they made were turned on the road without any trouble, and the drivers passing by were easily killed if they accidentally ran.

Then the chicken owner rushed over immediately and surrounded the car. One chicken was offered for 2500 yuan, or not? If you don’t give it, don’t try to get out. Even if you call the police, it’s useless. If you run into someone else’s chicken, shouldn’t you pay for it?

Now the Nori tribe clearly regards Noriho's people as the dogs that their Nori tribe have left. Even if it is a dog, it is also a dog from my Nori family. If you beat a dog, shouldn't you look at the owner?

If you hit my dog, you shouldn't lose money? Zhang Chao has always been too lazy to pay attention to such people, and if you have the ability, you can speak with your fists!

I have made mistakes recently. I just found out that my Chapter 340 has disappeared. This chapter was originally 341. Oh, I feel depressed! But because I changed my computer, there was no 340 manuscript in the computer.
