When Li Jing told what had happened, Li De had to say that Li Jing was really a good soldier, and what he saw was not how many enemies he killed, but how little damage he had to do to the vanguard when he had gains.

"Li joins the army, this trick will be used well." Li De said.

Li Jing thought that this was really the case, but he knew that the credit was not his, and immediately replied: "It is all the credit of the compressed dry food developed by the Metropolitan Governor, if there is no dry food, we would not have won this battle so easily." ”

"You're too modest, it's improvised to make use of compressed dry food, don't be modest if it's your credit, okay, go and rest." Li Dedao.

Li Jing is really tired, and the main thing in this battle is to hurry.

When they left the valley, they could retreat directly, but Li Jing felt that he could not miss this opportunity, so he arranged according to the enemy's ideas.

Leaving first was in the direction of the Tiele tribe, so as not to attract the attention of the enemy, and when he found the woods, Li Jing knew that the opportunity had come.

They are all hungry and will hunt when they see the woods, so after analysis, they really did it, as for whether it will succeed Li Jing didn't think about it, or even if it didn't succeed, at most it would be a loss of an excellent opportunity to fight.

But definitely not to miss the encounter with the enemy.

It was well prepared, so this was the case, and the success of this battle was that the vanguard suffered very few losses and gained a large number of horses.

The enemy of the Tiele tribe suffered heavy losses, and it was really difficult to launch a third attack.

After a complete victory, the news immediately spread throughout Ningzhou, and Li De deliberately let people spread the news After all, the Tiele cavalry was very strong in their opinion, and no one could compete with it except for the Turkic tribes.

The victory of the vanguard made the people of Ningzhou firmly believe in the strength of the vanguard.

Without war, development will continue.

Li Jing became famous in the first battle, and now he is a very powerful general in the hearts of the soldiers, and he can think that using compressed dry food to formulate a strategy will deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

The matter has spread, and everyone is also very optimistic about the compressed dry food, when they know that the compressed dry food can last for so many days, the generals are thinking about applying for more soldiers and horses they bring.

It's just that it takes time to make compressed dry food, and it takes a long time to transport it from the military city, and not all soldiers and horses need it, and priority is given to the scouts and others.

The development speed of Ningzhou is very fast, it should be said that the construction is very fast, brick kilns, cement workshops, leather workshops, Liaobei with rich resources, where the wood is the most.

Li De will not let them come wantonly, Ningzhou's decree has the management of forest timber, it is not allowed to cut trees without permission, and the pipes are controlled, and if they need to be used, they need to be allocated to the Ningzhou government and distributed according to the situation.

If you are engaged in the timber business, you will have to pay taxes, and you need to submit the documents for the business that the merchant is engaged in, which is unique to Youzhou.

It's actually called a business license, but it's called a business document here.

Merchants can engage in related industries through documents, on the one hand, they can count the industries engaged in by merchants, and on the other hand, they can use documents to apply for relevant preferential decrees.

Li De asked people to make reserve statistics of all these things, and after statistics, they could analyze the data of related industries.

The various workshops have taken shape, and most of the tribesmen have become long-term workers, and now they are only waiting for next year's cultivation.

In the war room, Li De and the captains discussed whether to continue to expand, and now the biggest threat to them is the Tiele tribe, and now the enemy's strength is insufficient, if they take advantage of the current attack, it will be very powerful for them.

"Governor, we are willing to lead troops to the battle."

Li De looked at the captains who were very positive, and their courage was good, but he was thinking, although most of the losses of Tiele's soldiers and horses were due to the fact that their ethnic group was very large.

With 100,000 soldiers and horses, their population is at least 300,000, which is still a conservative estimate, and it may not be so easy to start a war.

After all, there are many tribes in Tiele, and the warriors are all from the tribal people, and they can become fighting at any time.

Li De waved his hand and said: "It's not proper, we can't just care about the immediate interests, if so many tribes in northern Liaobei go to Zhangfu, we don't have to do anything else." ”

"What does the Governor mean for us to do?" Li Jing asked.

"It is enough to send emissaries to negotiate with them, to open up trade between the two sides, and to restrain them by economic means at this stage." Li Dedao.

Economic constraints, everyone doesn't understand the new words, they are all staring at each other.

Seeing this, Li De could only explain to them the advantages of opening trade, and the envoys sent did not really go to discuss business, but used this means to take advantage.

And taking advantage of it can't be offensive, but also let the other party support it.

The lieutenants were shocked when they heard this, selling grain for the Tiele people, this is not what the enemy is, and they can't figure it out.

"Don't worry, let's exchange grain for their war horses, cattle and sheep, isn't it good for them to live on our food?" Li Dedao.

Li Jing didn't know what Li De's idea was, but he could see that it didn't seem to be a bad thing to trade.

"The Governor has anything to say." Li Jing said.

"Well, send an envoy to negotiate with the Tiele tribe, Li Jing asked you to take 100,000 troops to the Tiele tribe again, and be sure to negotiate the matter." Li Dedao.

"Yes." Li Jing is still unclear, does he need to bring 100,000 soldiers and horses for negotiations, obviously not, since he doesn't need to bring them, the main purpose is to protect the safety of the envoy, or it is a threat.

Li Jing understood in his heart that since the governor of the capital had such a tough attitude, he could only proceed according to the plan.

Soon after, when Li Jing arrived at the Tiele tribe again, he really alarmed the great leader of Tiele, and gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses again in a short period of time, and temporarily added a group of soldiers and horses composed of ordinary people, directly gathering the number to 100,000.

Li Jing was not afraid at all when he saw it, and he could tell at a glance whether it was temporarily formed or not.

Such soldiers and horses are like a rabble in Li Jing's eyes.

Li Jing sent scouts to pass on the news of the negotiations, and the two sides agreed to negotiate before the battle.

The person who came out to negotiate was none other than Yida, and he was accompanied by the great general Yidu.

"We are here to negotiate, the governor hopes that the two sides can exchange markets, and we will exchange grain for your cattle, sheep and horses, and the specific content of the negotiation is clearly written." Li Jing said.

The interpreter next to him hurriedly said the original words, and through communication, Yi Du and Yida relaxed, now at this time, as long as they don't go to war, it will be the greatest help to them, and it is the right time to delay time.

"We need to go back and discuss, can you give us three days?" Yida said.
