At the command of Li Fengyun, General Manager Guo Ming led the Hu Ben Army to rush up Yehu Ridge and kill the pass. The defenders at the pass collapsed without fighting and abandoned the pass and left. The alliance army easily captured the Yehu Pass without bloodshed.

That night, the Alliance's Front-Selected Army crossed the Great Wall and rushed straight to Huaihuang Town.

On the third day of September, early in the morning, the alliance army arrived at Yanziyuan outside Huaihuang Town and set up camp.

Huaihuang Town is a key junction between north and south, and merchants from south to north must stay here, but Huaihuang Town is a border fortress, with safety first, and the size is limited, and it can accommodate not much population. This has led to a large number of merchants having to build temporary tents on the Swallows outside the town to rest. Over time, a large border market has formed on the Swallows, which has been continuous for several miles and tents are everywhere, especially when the transactions in the spring and autumn are booming.

It is late autumn, and it is the time when various tribes outside the border are trying to stockpile winter supplies. It is the most active moment for Yanzi's border market to trade. However, because the situation in Yanbei has been very tense recently, the main smuggling channel of Yanbei has been severed again, which directly led to a large reduction in merchants and supplies to go out of the border, and the transaction volume has dropped sharply. In recent days, because the alliance army went north to the Great Wall, the Great Wall beacon was ignited, the door was closed, and the traffic in the north and south was interrupted, the transactions in the border market were almost stopped. Cattle, sheep and other livestock that were urgently sold were spread all over the grassland, and various commodities such as fur were piled up like mountains. The Han Hujians were anxious and at a loss, and they could only pray to God without help.

However, the situation still deteriorated unstoppably. The alliance army suddenly appeared on Yanziyuan, shocking the Huaihuang defenders and also shocked the Yanziyuan border market. The merchants and traders were extremely frightened and everyone was in danger. Some timid people fled decisively, for fear of losing their lives. But soon they fled back in panic, because at the most active moment of the border trading, it was also the time when horse thieves and thieves outside the border gathered in Yanziyuan. At this moment, around Huaihuang Town, at least dozens of bandits of large and small were staring at the border market. If Yanziyuan was not protected by the Huaihuang Town garrison, the border market would have long become the "food for the horse thieves" of these horse thieves and ate them.

In order to survive, the Han Hujia and the Hujia in despair gathered together for their own sake. They first elected two most prestigious merchants as the "maintainers" to deal with this sudden crisis. One was Jianbo, a great-named Han family in the Middle Earth. He was one of the five major Han families in Youyan, and was famous in the business circle in northern Xinjiang. The other was Hujia, Antel from the An family country of Zhaowu's nine surnames. He was famous in the Hujia circle. It is said that he had a background in the tent behind him. There were even rumors that he was the younger brother of the powerful and famous tent tent.

The first decision of the two temporary "maintainers" was to gather all the guards, grooms, porters and other strong men in the border market to defend themselves first. Even if they could not form much combat power, they could not stop the "huge" Middle-earth rebels that had just emerged from the Great Wall. At least they could bluff, strengthen their courage, stabilize the hearts of the people in the border market, and not to lose their own positions, trample on each other, and destroy themselves.

Then Jian Bo and Antel decided to "divided the troops into two groups" and went to Huaihuang Town to seek help, to see if money could be exchanged for shelter from Huaihuang Town. As long as the Huaihuang Town guards were willing to open the door and let all the merchants in the border market escape into the fortress for refuge, then they would be willing to sacrifice all the money. After all, they would be left with green mountains and not afraid of burning firewood. Money is an outsider after all, and life is the most important thing. When they went to negotiate with the rebels, although the risk was great, the hope of success was slim, and even there was a danger of being in a different place, since the rebels quietly reached Yanziyuan at night, they did not enter the border market to burn, kill, and loot at the first time after dawn, and even did not attack so far. This itself was full of mystery, which gave the merchants in the border market a chance to survive, and this opportunity could not be let go of anyway.

Jian Bo comes from the Youyan family. Because he has been traveling around the north and south of the Great Wall for a long time, he is not only familiar with the Huaihuang guards, but also has extraordinary friendships. Of course, it is most beneficial for him to ask for help. In this way, the important task of negotiating with the rebels fell on Antel. Antel agreed without fear. Lite people are good at doing business, and business requires wisdom, so Lite people not only do a good job in business, but also have a higher strategy, and this is exactly what

The important reason why the Lites were able to occupy a place at the top of the power of the Turkic Khanate. Antel was full of confidence and believed that even if the purpose of this trip could not be achieved with his wisdom, he could not stop the rebels from looting the wealth of the border city, but he should be able to save the lives of the border city merchants. After all, the biggest problem faced by the rebels after going out to the frontier is survival. Therefore, the border city merchants still have certain value to the rebels. Since they are valuable, they will not be killed easily.

On the third day of September, Antel rushed to the gate of the alliance army with gifts. Although he was nervous and frightened, he still plucked up the courage to ask for the commander of the army. To his surprise, the guards on the gate not only did not scold him angrily, but refused with a bad attitude, but instead greeted him with a smile and was very polite, and agreed without thinking about the request he made.

This was long ago as Li Fengyun expected. It is nature for merchants to pursue profits and avoid harm, but compared with life, interests are second. Therefore, seeing that life is not safe, of course, they must actively survive. The primary method is to exchange profit for life and buy life with money, so they must bargain.

Now that the garrison at the Yehu Pass dares to open the door and let the alliance army go north to the fortress, and even temporarily gives up the pass, the Huaihuang Town Guard must have received the order from the superiors to keep in seclusion, show that the enemy is weak, and never take the initiative to attack, and never give the Turks any excuse to turn against each other, I am just driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf, but you can't catch my handle, what can I do? So in this situation, Huaihuang Town will not open the door to protect the border merchants. On the one hand, it will prevent accidents and affect the safety of the fortress. On the other hand, it will be worried that the Northern Barbarians will make careful efforts to get into the fortress, and on the other hand, it will be a witness to the fact that the Huaihuang Town Guardians deliberately inaction and deliberately drive the rebels in the Great Wall to the outside of the Great Wall to fight with the Northern Barbarians.

According to the third, it is to give the Alliance army an opportunity to plunder the border market and replenish food and grass. As long as the Alliance army destroys the border market, severely damages or even kills the Han merchants in the border market, they will be able to make a mortal enemy with the Han merchants. Most of the Han merchants running north and south of the Great Wall are not simple businessmen. Merchants who are purely seeking life cannot survive outside the border, and have long been eaten up by the "evil wolf". Therefore, behind these merchants, there are various black and white forces with more or less connected interests. In this way, the Alliance offended everyone, and the environment for the army to fight outside the border is even worse, and it is difficult to move forward.

Of course, Li Fengyun would not fall into a trap, would not fish out of the waters, and would not lose the root of the problem just because of a little profit or a little immediate benefit, and would do stupid things that would lose the big ones because of a small loss. On the contrary, his "appetite" is very big, and the benefits he has made are far beyond imagination.

Antel became more and more nervous when he was surprised. If something happened abnormal, it would be a monster. He felt that there was a trap in the gate. As long as he stepped in, he would fall into it. Antel hesitated, but carefully weighed it, it was meaningless. Under the current situation, the merchants in the border market were like a group of fat lambs, while the army of wilderness, the rebels of the Middle Earth and the horse thieves and thieves were a group of hungry wild wolves. The lamb was trapped in the wolves, and the result was imagined. Now even in the gate, he could only move forward and sacrifice himself to death.

The reply was quick, and a team of guards rushed over, with a calm attitude and said that the general manager had a request. Antel immediately knew something, and his guess was correct. The reason why this Middle-Turkish rebels did not destroy the border market with thunder and instead put a knife on the neck of the border market merchants was indeed a reason and purpose, and this reason was obviously not simple. This goal must be very complicated. If you make a mistake in this trip, it would probably be a disaster.

Antel entered the gate in fear and walked carefully behind the guards leading the way, his eyes flew around and he looked around. As a result, he became more and more frightened and sweated. How could this be a rebel? This is clearly the elite of the Guard Mansion, equipped with bright armor and a large number of heavy troops, and the combat power can be imagined. How could it be a mob? Who said that this rebel army that suddenly descended to Yanbei was a mob?

Antel immediately smelled a strong sense of conspiracy. He was a giant in the desert, with a strong backer in the tent, and had a channel of information in Central China and the sky, and had a certain understanding of the current situation of the Sino-foreign trend and the North-South relationship. He also knew that the pace of the Civil War was approaching the Great Wall, and various tribes in the desert were actively preparing for war. This time he personally went south to Central China and took on the heavy responsibility of raising war materials for the tent. In this tense situation, he actually saw an elite guard army in Central China under the banner of rebels appear outside the Great Wall. How could there be no conspiracy here? This must be a big conspiracy, and perhaps the Civil War broke out.

Is the war about to begin? Antel suddenly became excited, his blood surged, his eyes shining, and the opportunity to make a fortune came.

The Fengyun Guard brought Antel to the outside of the coach's tent. A team was about to go forward to search Antel. At this time, the curtain was lifted, and a personal guard of Li Fengyun walked out, shook his hand at the team, indicating that he should not search. Then he made a gesture to Antel, "The chief manager is welcome."

This was a special courtesy, Antel was a little surprised. Has this great manager heard of him or asked for him?

While he was worried, Antel walked into the handsome tent. The first thing that caught his eye was his long white hair and a young smiling face. This extreme contrast gave him a strong visual impact. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, then showed an incredible look, and then opened his mouth and exclaimed, "Are you still alive?"
