On the official road of returning to Xiongzhou, several carriages were moving forward, both of which were both fast and slow. It was Wu Ji and his group.

"Brother Ji, how big do you think Xiongzhou is?" Wu Xing asked while rushing the car, with an excited look on his face: "I heard that Xiongzhou is very big, bigger than convert."

As a countryman, he has a natural curiosity about the city. The biggest city Wu Xing has ever seen is converted. When he heard that he was going to Xiongzhou, he couldn't help but be curious. He asked from many sources and heard that Xiongzhou is much larger than convert. He was very excited to think about it, let alone to see it in Xiongzhou.

"Yes, Brother Ji, you are a scholar, you are knowledgeable, so tell us about Xiongzhou." Wu Jian was also curious, sitting beside him, constantly looking at Wu Ji, his eyes shining with admiration.

Wu Ji is the only scholar and great figure in Wujiazhuang, and is highly respected by the people of Wujiazhuang. Not to mention, since Wu Ji left Wujiazhuang, he has been doing well and his status in the minds of Wujiazhuang people has soared, reaching a point where people look up to it.

"This..." Wu Ji also inquired about Xiongzhou and had some knowledge of Xiongzhou. However, that was something that people said, and he had never been there, and he didn't know how big Xiongzhou was: "I haven't been there either, so I can't explain it clearly, so I'd better go and see it with my own eyes. Wu Xing, hurry up, arrive in Xiongzhou early and see it early."

"Okay!" Wu Ji cheered excitedly, whipped hard, and the carriage suddenly accelerated.

The reincarnation was not too far from Xiongzhou, and there were no accidents along the way. Wu Ji lifted up the curtain of the car and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the official road.

Although the Song Dynasty did not establish decent martial arts, Wu Ji was very surprised in terms of infrastructure construction. The official road was very solid and solid, with flat roads. When the carriages were driven on it, there would not be much bumps.

The middle of the road surface is high and the sides are low, which is easy to drain. There are also drainage ditches, which meet the building requirements.

What’s even more rare is that there are many trees, cypress, fir and willow planted on both sides of the official road, all of which are available. It’s winter now, and the trees are bare and have no scenery. If you walk on the official road in spring and summer, it will definitely be a tree-shaded way, which is amazing.

In the evening, Wu Ji and his party finally arrived in Xiongzhou. From a distance, they saw a majestic city several feet high and dominated the local area, like an ancient ferocious beast, extremely extraordinary.

"Wow! What a big city!"

Wu Xing and Wu Jian screamed in surprise, with the expression of Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, which was very exaggerated.

Not only were they surprised, but who among the personal soldiers from Wujiazhuang looked unbelievable?

This was the first time they had witnessed such a large city with their own eyes. They were both surprised and excited, and their eyes were flashing with a hot light.

Wu Ji was used to seeing modern metropolis and would not have any surprises, but when he saw Xiongzhou with his own eyes, his heart still jumped and he secretly praised it, what a city!

“So many people!”

Wu Xing then exclaimed, pointing at the pedestrians entering and leaving, with an exaggerated expression on his face.

Not to mention their surprise, even Wu Ji was shocked. There were countless people coming in and out of the city gate, and there were endless streams of carriages one after another. I don’t know how many. The city gate was extremely wide, enough for six or seven carriages to drive side by side, but for pedestrians, the carriages were blocked.

Its liveliness is no less lively than that of modern metropolis. In the Song Dynasty, there were such a prosperous city, and it was still on the border between the Song and Liao dynasties. It would be impossible to be surprised by Wu Ji.

"Oh! This is the most important city in the Song and Liao dynasties." Then, Wu Ji understood the whole story.

Because Xiongzhou is located on the border between Song and Liao, its strategic position is extremely important, and it is a must-pass place for the Liao Kingdom to enter the Song territory. It is this important strategic position that makes its economic value very great. The border trade between Song and Liao countries is in full swing here and is very prosperous. There are countless Song Dynasty goods, such as porcelain, tea, silk, and spices, from here to Youzhou, and then sold from Youzhou to various parts of the Liao Kingdom.

Correspondingly, countless Liao goods, such as horses, cattle, sheep, ginseng, and marten, were transported from here to the Central Plains and sold to various parts of the Song Dynasty.

At first glance, Wu Ji saw the people coming and going, cars and horses forming a long dragon that never stopped, and there was no end to see.

"It's so prosperous! It's so prosperous!"

Wu Ji couldn't help but sigh.

Wu Xing, Wu Jian, the personal soldiers were stunned and opened their mouths wide and could not even speak.

"Go into the city!" Wu Ji urged, and then they woke up: "Xiongzhou is too big!"

Wu Xing pulled the reins and drove the carriage to the city. He saw a team of Song soldiers holding weapons in their hands, hanging their knives on their waists, holding their helmets and armors, guarding the city gate. Standing there, like wooden stakes, unshakable.

"good!"

Wu Ji has been training the Converted Army for a while and has a extraordinary vision. He can see at a glance that the Xiongzhou Army is very extraordinary, far from what the Converted Army like a refugee he took over: "This Zhou Wei, extraordinary!"

Zhou Wei responded quickly and sent a horse army to help, and Wu Ji saw the extraordinary aspects of the Xiongzhou army. Now, when he came to Xiongzhou, he witnessed it with his own eyes again, and was even more amazed.

I am worthy of being a person who has been on the battlefield, and the soldiers I brought out are different, and I have a sense of tiger spirit!

"I have trained the Converted Army well, and it is best to fight a battle! The Liao army will not invade the territory, and will drag them to the Liao territory to fight!" Wu Ji knew very well that only the army that has experienced the battle on the battlefield can be the real elite.

Although there were many people, cars and horses entering and leaving the city gate, they were not chaotic and orderly, and Wu Ji quickly entered the city.

As soon as I entered the city, a carriage came. A man in his forties was lifting the curtains and looking at him. When he saw Wu Ji, he nodded slightly and greeted, "I wonder if you are from, where are you from?"

"Return. Where are you?" Wu Ji answered politely.

"I am from Youzhou. I am back to my parents' home!" The man sighed: "We Yanzhao men are abandoned children. Dasong doesn't want us anymore, so we can only live under the iron hooves of the Khitan!"

I feel so angry that I am not angry, and my eyes are shining, and I am extremely unwilling to accept it.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the authentic Yanzhao land and were ceded to the Khitan by Shi Jingtang. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it was not that they did not want to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but they were not successful. By now, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been separated from the Central Plains for more than 100 years.

"Yan Zhao man?" Wu Ji's heart was thrilled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel excited: "Brother was born as a man, and I can remember the four words Yan Zhao man, I admire him!"

"Yan Zhao man!" The man sighed: "I am not a man of Yan Zhao man, but I cannot expel Liao with passion. I am not a man of Yan Zhao man."

The reason why the Song Dynasty did not take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was very complicated. One of them would not be wrong, that is, the Song Dynasty was incompetent. Wu Ji also felt a lot about this.

"I think Emperor Song is not unwilling to take back Yanyun's land, but he is just incompetent." The man opened his box and said contemptuously: "Song Taizong took advantage of the Liaogou Kingdom's funeral and sent troops from five groups, but he defeated Xiao Yanyan's orphan and widowed mother. The Song realm is so vast and there are so many people, but he can't beat the only Liaogou. It's a pity! It's a pity!"

In order to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Emperor Taizong of Song sent troops many times, and once fought to the periphery of Youzhou, and almost recovered it. However, he defeated the Liao Kingdom and fled. Emperor Taizong of Song himself fled in a deserted way.

The most famous time, taking advantage of the national funeral of Liao, five troops sent troops to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in one fell swoop, but encountered Empress Dowager Xiao, a female hero, who killed the Song army and defeated Yang Ye and killed Li Ling Monument, which happened in this battle.

"It's better Chai Rong is a good emperor. He dares to send troops to recover Waqiao Pass, so that the current Xiongzhou will be found! If Chai Rong hadn't recovered Waqiao Pass, the Khitans might have entered the Central Plains again!" The man was extremely regretful and sighed: "It's a pity that God is jealous of the talent. On the occasion of success, Chai Rong died of illness! Who do we Yanzhao men admire the most? If we don't have Chai Rong, there will be no second person!"

Wu Ji didn't know much about sending troops to recover Yanyun. He wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat, but he was disturbed by a burst of crazy laughter.

"Haha! Hangou, get out of here!"

"Han Gou, you are trying to die!"

"A Han dog is a dog, how dare you block my way!"

Wu Ji looked closely and saw a team of Khitan soldiers riding tall horses, rushing around the streets. Wherever they went, people were overturned and flocked, and the people dodged one after another.

If one cannot dodge, he will trample on the horse's hooves. However, this team of Khitan soldiers was arrogant and proud, with a look of contempt, and looked down on the people at all.

"snort!"

Wu Ji snorted coldly, murderous intent burst out in his eyes!
