The emergence of coal was very timely for Zou Yu and others. It can save many people from cutting down trees and making firewood. It is also much more convenient to make salt and forge. There are also big consumers of kilns, pottery and bricks.

, it can really be said to benefit the country and the people.

Of course, good things must be produced as soon as possible and manpower can be arranged to dig coal. Zou Yu was secretly proud, and now I will also be a coal boss for a while.

Fortunately, this is an open-pit coal mine, and it is easy to dig. We set up a workshop nearby to grind the excavated coal into powder before sending it to the city and major mining areas. After all, once this thing is made, it will not be easy to transport.

It’s convenient and can only be made nearby.

Now Zou Yu has to consider the problem of the Mohe tribe. Although there is no sign of the Blackwater Mohe coming back, he still has to take precautions.

After much deliberation, I still have to make my decision from the Khitans, after all, they are the only ones who can win over me at the moment.

After discussing with Han Qianxun and others, they finally decided to use the old method - to frame the blame.

Liu Jin and his son, who had never missed each other, were arranged to lead a group of Khitan cavalry to harass the Mohe people, euphemistically calling it revenge.

Of course, the Khitan cavalry would not have thought that this would simply bring trouble to their former compatriots. Instead, they were very happy, thinking that Zou Yu was thinking of them, and followed him howling. In their eyes, revenge is a normal operation.

By mid-August, the Mohe people could no longer bear it and raised troops to attack the Khitans again. The Khitans hurriedly asked for help, and Zou Yu and others once again used the autumn harvest as an excuse to delay the attack.

The Khitan people had no choice but to spend a lot of money to seek help from the Xi people, because this time the Baishan Mohe people also borrowed 20,000 troops. As soon as they fought, the Khitan coalition forces retreated steadily, and finally retreated to the Xi people's territory. Both sides surrounded the Xi people.

In the mountains, we fought equally.

In mid-September, after a month of delay, the autumn harvest was completed. We also learned that Yang Guang had failed again and completely gave up on returning to the Central Plains. Everyone began to plan this battle wholeheartedly.

After more than half a year, Buyeo City dispatched a total of 10,000 cavalry this time. Based on the lessons of the last failure, all of them were equipped with bamboo armor.

Bamboo armor, leather armor, and rattan armor are the main means of protection for ethnic minorities. Nomads mostly use leather armor. There is not a lot of leather in Buyeo City, but most of them are used to make clothes.

Leather armor usually consists of several layers of leather to protect bows, arrows, swords and guns. Without leather, bamboo armor is the same, and bamboo armor has a better protective effect on bows and arrows. Wearing leather clothes and leather armor, regardless of the defense, at least in Buyeo

The city army had uniforms.

The Mohe people were smarter this time. When they saw the army from Fuyu City arriving, they immediately retreated and asked Zou Yu why they were showing partiality. After all, they had sold a lot of wool to Zou Yu and the others.

It was hard to answer this. After all, he had started the war. Fortunately, he had considered this and had already thought of countermeasures. Zou Yu wrote back and said that the Khitan people were willing to join Fuyu City, so he sent troops.

While delaying, he also told the Khitan people that they could avoid disaster by spending some money and send the Mohe people away, so that no one would die and it would be settled peacefully.

Mohui had no choice. After all, the Mohe tribe dispatched 50,000 cavalry this time. On their side, they only had over 30,000 cavalry, so it was not a problem to hold on. However, it would be too difficult to win. After all, Zou Yu and the others could not work too hard.

After sending 20,000 sheep and 5,000 yaks to quell the war, the Mohe people benefited, so they accepted the offer and withdrew their troops.

"The enemy has withdrawn, why isn't the Khan happy?" Zou Yu asked pretending to be concerned.

"I...sigh! Mohui has something to ask for, please help the city lord." Mohui said with a bitter look on his old face.

"Khan, I just said it's okay. If I can help, I won't shirk it." Zou Yu said with a smile.

"Thank you City Lord. That's it. I want to buy a batch of grain from you for winter." Mo Hui said happily.

"Food? Does the Khitan have no food for the winter?" Zou Yu asked in surprise.

"To be honest, we fought a battle at the beginning of spring, which not only injured many people, delayed the spring plowing, and consumed a lot of cattle and sheep. Now we have another battle. In addition to asking the Xi people for help, we also compensated the Mohe tribe. Now the tribe

There are only lambs and ewes left. If we eat them, we Khitan will not be far from being extinct." Mohui explained with confused eyes.

"I didn't expect Khitan to be in such difficulty. To be honest, I am very willing to help my friends. It's just that Khan doesn't know. I don't have the final say in Buyeo City alone." Zou Yu said with sincere eyes.

"Ah! What...why is this?" Mo Hui was very surprised and asked unexpectedly.

"This brings us to our origins. We were originally part of the imperial army to conquer Goguryeo, but because of the defeat, we fled here and were lucky enough to occupy Buyeo City. As the city lord, I actually have a very low official position, and there are two other people with official positions.

It's just because they don't obey anyone else that they elected me as the city lord. So no matter what, they won't help outsiders." Zou Yu explained half-truthfully.

"If there is such a thing, then I will die. Is there really no way to do it?" Mo Hui asked with a sad look on his face.

"Well...it's not impossible." Zou Yu pretended to be in trouble and said with a frown.

"City Lord, save me! For the sake of so many Khitan people taking refuge, please save us." Mo Hui pulled Zou Yu and said excitedly.

It can be seen that the Khitan people are indeed at the end of their rope. Zou Yu continued: "Although outsiders can't help, if it's one of our own, even if I help, it's hard for others to say anything."

"What do you mean?" Mo Hui let go of Zou Yu and asked hesitantly.

"That's right, what I want is for all the Khitans to join Fuyu City, so that everyone is one of our own." Zou Yu nodded.

"this…"

"Khan, think about it, there is no harm in joining us. You have also seen the life of your people in the past two years. It is much better than before. You don't have to go around grazing, worrying about wild beasts and enemies at all times."

Mo Hui hesitated, but Zou Yu persuaded him while the iron was hot.

"But are such Khitans still Khitans?" Mo Hui said with a frown.

"Why not? We in Fuyu City encourage multi-ethnic groups to build a homeland together. Now there are Han, Xi, Khitan, and Xi ethnic groups in the city. We respect the living habits of each ethnic group." Zou Yu continued to persuade.

"Why is there no Goguryeo tribe?" Mohui asked in confusion.
