"We continue to fight side by side!"

Luo Cheng and Siye were on the wild fox ridge outside the Great Wall, and the two brothers held their hands tightly together. After the discussion was decided, the two brothers did not stay any longer and immediately returned to Jie Town.

Xijing, on the banks of the Rushui River.

A dirt city stands at the intersection of Rushui, Suotou River and Wuli River.

Originally, the Kumo Xi people did not set up city walls. They were accustomed to nomadic people and lived in water. However, in the past two years, Luo Cheng guarded the pass and vigorously developed his relationship with the Xi people, especially strengthening the opening of trade and trade. Not only did he set up multiple passes in Andongdao, but he also continued to organize merchants and sent troops to escort merchants into the Xi and Khitan and other domestic trade.

Because this earthen city is not far from Lulong Village in Peiping and is also close to Liucheng County outside the pass, it became a large market. Even Xi Khan Kadu later set up a den here and sent someone to collect taxes here.

Later, Luo Cheng submitted a report to the court, setting up the Xi territory as the governor's office of Raole County, and the one who can be saved was the governor of Raole. He also gave the country's name Yang Guoqing and married a royal princess. So to welcome the arrival of the princess, the one who can be saved consumed a lot of labor and money from slaves, and expanded it again based on the original earthen city.

This made Raole County City, which was located in Chengde in later generations, look very spectacular.

Especially here, the two counties near Beiping, Hebei and Liucheng outside the pass, there were a large number of Han merchants, making this place a prosperous trade center, so there were many shops, and the nobles of the Xi tribe were also rushing to build mansions here, so there were a lot of pedestrians in the city, cars and horses were noisy, and restaurants and tea shops were lined up.

Lianluo Chengdu specially set up the Zhongwu Army's office here, and there are also officials from Andongdao counties, the military and private stores, shops, etc.

In addition, there are also guild halls with the nature of a church with the same hometown, built by merchants from the six counties of Andong.

Outside the city, there were even large fields of mulberry and wheat fields in the original pastures. These were lands that were rented or bought by Anton's merchants, and then they hired slaves to farm. The cultivated grain was sold directly to Raole City for food for merchants coming and going, as well as the nobles in the city.

Luo Cheng rode a horse and came here with the help of the slaughter.

Looking at the Goguryeo slaves, Turkic slaves, Kunlun slaves, Silla slaves, etc., as well as the Han Zhuangtou and Zhuang Ding who were busy in the fields on the roadside outside the city, it makes people feel dazed, as if they were walking in a countryside in Hebei or Liaodong.

Seeing King Xi coming.

The slaves in the field all knelt on the ground.

And those Han people's marquis only need to bow slightly and bow.

It can be seen that their status here is not low.

"Wulang, look at this place. It's just a few years old and it's already so prosperous. I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people around this Raole City."

The young man named Goro is Su Zhi, the son of Keduzhe, but his name is Luo Shouxin, who is Luo Cheng's adopted son.

King Xi, who had been named Yang Guoqing, was full of pride in seeing the scene.

As King Xi, he had only five hundred guards under his command before, but since he joined Luo Cheng, his strength has increased greatly. Especially since he has taken many benefits in the trade in border cities, he naturally accounts for the largest share every time he goes to trade. He can exchange the most commercial goods and naturally earns more money.

Later, he welcomed Han merchants in Xijing and began to set up markets and collect taxes, which naturally fell into his pocket.

If you have money, you will naturally have soldiers.

Not to mention, following Luo Cheng to fight the Turks, he got so much equipment back.

So he used these equipment and money to expand his permanent guards, and now there are 5,000 horses. This was something that he could not imagine in the past. After all, to maintain a permanent guard of 5,000 people, he had to be responsible for the expenses of these people. People ate and chewed horses. He could not afford to raise 5,000 people before, but now he not only could he afford to raise them, but also had excellent equipment for them.

His five thousand guards, one thousand of whom were equipped with iron armor from the Great Sui Dynasty, and the other four thousand were also equipped with leather armor. Everyone was equipped with bows and spears.

"Rao Lehou, I heard that you have a daughter called the pearl on the grassland. She is very beautiful and generous, and she has not been engaged to marry her?"

Luo Cheng was amazed in his heart as King Xi’s strength increased rapidly in recent years, and spoke with a smile.

When Yang Guoqing heard Luo Cheng mention his beloved black pearl, he was extremely proud and patted his chest and said, his daughter is the pearl in his hand, a priceless treasure.

Luo Cheng first asked about Mingzhu's age. He heard that he was already sixteen years old, so he asked with a smile, "There is a very beautiful poem in our Central Plains Book of Songs, called "The beautiful lady and a gentleman. I also love Mingzhu's name and want to pursue it, but I wonder if it is possible?"

Luo Cheng's brother-in-law Wang Ziming tempted the one who could see him, saying that Luo Cheng was willing to take out a thousand spears, eight hundred horizontal knives, one hundred pairs of iron armor, another three thousand pieces of silk, and three hundred pieces of Shu brocade to find the pearl of King Xi.

Yang Guoqing was a little surprised.

Even a little confused.

His son Su Zhi is now Luo Cheng's adopted son, and now Luo Cheng asks to marry his daughter? He also knows that Luo Cheng has a wife, and his daughter can only be a concubine in the past.

This will not only cause generations but also undoubtedly make your daughter wrong.

"What, Rao Lehou doesn't want this marriage. Will this be wronged and the daughter won't be able to succeed?"

Luo Cheng smiled from the side, "I really love Ling Qianjin. I am willing to give you another hundred armored cavalry to Rao Lehou."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Guoqing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Last time he went to fight against the Turks with Luo Cheng, he had witnessed the power of the heavy iron cavalry under Luo Cheng's command. The momentum that swept everything was really enviable.

But they had never had armored cavalry because they could not make such armor and had no place to buy them, and the cost was too high and they could not afford it.

Usually, I just secretly get a few pairs to collect at a high price, and I can't equip the heavy riders in the team.

Now Luo Cheng directly spoke out and gave him a hundred pairs, how can he not be moved?

"Marquis Rao Le, I will send troops to conquer Yuan Taizuo soon. If we are intimate, I will definitely bring you Rao Lefu this time. At that time, I promise that the land and population of the Yuan clan you captured will belong to me, but the money, livestock, and even the armor and weapons you seize will belong to you, and no one of them needs to be handed over."

Luo Cheng threw out another big bait.

Now Yang Guoqing's eyes couldn't help but stare at him and his breathing became rapid.

Last time I went to fight against the Turks with Luo Cheng, although I lost a lot, I could gain even higher.

The territory and population captured belong to Luo Cheng, and the livestock, money, food, weapons and armor he seized belongs to him. This kind of good thing is too rare.
