The next day.
On the second day after Zhao Muyun was assassinated in Tongfu Inn, when he was about to leave Shuozhou City, he met Lu Zhizi who was selling ironware on the street in the city.
Zhao Muyun was in need of a blacksmith, and the 600 kilograms of pig iron smuggled by the Bai family could be used to make a batch of weapons for his 1,300 men.
So he warmly invited Lu Zhizi and his son to go to Yinzhou, and they both readily agreed.
Then, Zhao Muyun went to Zhaojiazhuang outside Wuzhou City to deliver a message, asking his second uncle Zhao Wen to take his brother and mother to Yinzhou.
Before this, Zhao Wen had been reminded by Zhao Muyun. In order to avoid the revenge of the young master of the Bai family and to avoid the Tartars' southward struggle with Dayin, the family hid in a relative's house in the mountains.
But in order to make it easier for Zhao Muyun to contact him, he left a mark at home to facilitate the delivery of messages.
After waiting for only one day, Zhao Wen heard that Zhao Muyun had become a captain. He was shocked and immediately rushed over with his brother and mother.
The family reunited for half a day, and Wang Tiezhu also brought his family to look for them, and unexpectedly met Zhao Muyun in Zhaojiazhuang.
Wang Tiezhu returned to the village and took out fifty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and married Cuihua as he wished.
Just two days after his wedding, he took his wife to Zhendi Fort in Zishui River Valley, but met Zhao Muyun outside Wuzhou City.
......
After staying for half a day, Zhao Muyun and his party set off and returned to Zhendi Fort.
When all the staff under his command were present, Zhao Muyun discussed with Han Zhong, Lin Feng, Tang Yanhai and others for half a day and then made the appointments.
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper!
The nine people in the beacon tower did not expect that after Zhao Muyun became the squad leader, they would be promoted in just two months.
Zhao Muyun appointed Han Zhong, Lin Feng and Tang Yanhai as centurions, and the rest of the old men at the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower were promoted to sergeants.
In order to facilitate future battles, Han Zhong and Wu Shangzhi led 300 soldiers to form the left camp, Lin Feng and Shi Yong led 300 soldiers to form the right camp, and their squad leaders and sergeants were appointed respectively.
Tang Yanhai and Wang Tiezhu led a scout battalion of 20 people and served as the chief and deputy commanders.
There were 600 auxiliary soldiers, led by Tian Qing and four bodyguards from the Bai family.
The medical team’s sergeant is Ma Bao, and there are five doctors.
The cooking battalion had Shi Gang, Lao Zhang, Lao Li as squad leaders, and fifteen cooks.
He let his second uncle Zhao Wen take charge of the military clerkship.
As for Huan Naxue, her official position was the commander of Fengzhou appointed by the imperial court, so it was not Zhao Muyun's turn to appoint her.
However, she and the three hundred Wuhuan cavalrymen must be following Zhao Muyun's command for now.
As for the fact that Zhao Muyun married a woman of a foreign race, he had already informed his mother, second uncle and Zhao Pu when they were in Zhaojiazhuang.
The three were very surprised that Zhao Muyun suddenly got married, and that she was a Hu woman.
Although some of them objected, especially Zhao's mother, they stopped talking when they saw Huan's pretty face, tall body, slender thighs, and round and firm buttocks.
This is definitely a woman who is good at giving birth!
Zhao Muyun would not take her as his legal wife. After all, Dayin still believed in traditional concepts that a foreigner could not be the legal wife, for fear of ruining the legitimate bloodline.
But it is not a bad idea to branch out.
The Zhao family has already accepted Huan Naxue.
Zhao Muyun's men rested for a day, took all the food and supplies, left Zhendi Fort, and headed north and then west along the Zishui River Valley, rushing to Yinzhou.
The Heituo Mountain and the Hongtao Mountain are vast, and the Heye Peak is towering into the clouds.
As spring rains come, the Zishui River rises.
A number of beacon towers, including Yanqingdun, stand in the river valley, and further south is Jingbian Military Town.
Zhao Muyun rode on his horse, looking back at the beacon tower of Yanqingdun, and he was already full of ambition.
The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!
The prefecture of Yinzhou connects Shuozhou and Fengzhou, and is the throat of the river and grassland. It has great potential!
Han Zhong, Tang Yanhai, Wang Tiezhu, Wu Shangzhi, Shi Yong, Tian Qing, Ma Bao, Lao Li, Lao Zhang and nine others also stopped and looked back.
There is reluctance in the eyes, and it is a temporary farewell!
......
Three days later.
The yellow sand rolled and the north wind blew.
At this moment, Zhao Muyun, holding the title of Yinzhou Duwei, brought his men into the territory of Yinzhou.
The group then arrived at the headquarters of Yinzhou Prefecture, a ruined city beside the Zishui River, and began to set up camp.
Yinzhou Prefecture is a bit small. There is only the city in front of you and three military forts, with nomadic people and villages scattered in between.
The included area is just west of Heituo Mountain, north of Piantou Pass and the river, including the entire Gobi Desert and half of the Xichuan grassland.
The Zishui River flows through the middle and flows into the big river.
On both sides of the Zishui River, there is a riverside plain with fertile land.
Zhao Muyun learned this from the brothers Shi Yong and Shi Gang, as well as the soldiers under Lin Fenghe's command who were originally from the people of Yinzhou.
The Tartars marched south and looted cities and military forts, destroying all of them and capturing all the people, leaving Yinzhou defenseless.
King Zhelan's cavalry can come from the Xichuan grassland at any time and march straight in.
Zhao Muyun frowned.
We must take advantage of the window of opportunity when King Zhelan retreats his troops back to the grassland to quickly build a defense system in Yinzhou.
In order to deal with the Tatar cavalry, they used Zhendi Fort as a template and built a frontier fortress that was hundreds of years ahead of its time on the basis of the original site of Yinzhou City and combined it with the military defense of the previous life.
Everyone was busy setting up camp near the old city.
Zhao Muyun summoned Han Zhong, Lin Feng, and Tang Yanhai, and then the military clerk Zhao Wen, and went to the highest hillside nearby.
From the hillside you can overlook the Xichuan grassland.
And to the northeast of the vast Xichuan grassland is King Zhelan’s core territory, Yunzhou!
