Li Qigou, who was in a hurry, kept turning around and shouting: "Hurry, catch up." ”

The iron-clad man behind him, dressed in armor, ran with extra effort, running forward with all his might, still chasing farther and farther.

If this man can't get on the horse again, when the two sides turn their heads and hedge again, this man will inevitably fall under the enemy's horses' hooves, and at that time there is only one life, and no matter how thick the iron armor is, he will not be able to save his life.

Li Qigou, who had already rushed out sixty or seventy steps, couldn't stop his horse's steps, and when he took another hundred and ten steps, he had to fight for a while.

There are still twenty or thirty people left in the Dadan people, that is, even if the Dadan people want to escape, they have to turn around and flee, and it is impossible to flee to the south, and there are only countless Han iron armor to go south.

Li Qigou kept looking back at the iron armor that had fallen off the horse and galloped, and saw the spare horse that was still galloping with him, and in a hurry, he actually stabbed the horses next to him with a long knife, thinking that this healthy horse could stop and wait for the iron armor behind him under the pain.

Unexpectedly, the horses were in pain, but they ran faster, and they were already neck and neck with Li Qigou.

Li Qigou was even more anxious in his heart, because the iron armor that fell behind him was the person who had sharpened the ink for Li Qigou just now, and it was also Li Qigou who told him to learn words, and recommended him to teach martial arts in the future. Obviously, this military man has a very good relationship with Li Qigou, at this moment of life and death, if he can't get on the horse in time, when he has to go around the circle to hedge, it is the time when this man dies in battle.

Suddenly, Li Qigou's eyes looked at the horse's legs that were constantly alternating and galloping, and he was in a hurry, leaning down, and the back of the long knife went straight to the legs of the horses next to him.

The back of the knife struck the horse's front leg, and the horse heard a neighing sound, and fell to the ground, rolling forward.

The horses finally stopped, and the man behind them galloped forward even harder. The horses, scarred by the fall, were struggling to their feet.

Just as the horse was standing still, an iron armor leaped with a spear in his hand and sat down on the horse's back.

Seeing this situation, Li Qigou was relieved, ran out of thirty or forty steps, and shouted: "Turn around in a circle!" ”

A dozen healthy horses turned around in circles and turned their heads again.

The knight who was left behind also quickly turned around, and kept beating the horse to accelerate, the speed of the horse was too important. If you are left behind, the danger will increase exponentially.

The head-to-head confrontation between light riding and heavy riding is too big.

When the dozen or so horsemen once again intersected with the Dadan, it was already a one-sided situation, and the Dadan's knife could not cut through the heavy iron armor.

In the face of iron armor, there are only two kinds of weapons that can be effective, one is a sharp spear tip stab, and the other is a blunt weapon hammer. Just like the Jurchens, they like blunt objects, such as maces. At the beginning of the Jurchen army, the weapons were insufficient, and the huge wooden sticks could also knock the Liao cavalry to the ground.

By the time they had to turn around again, the seven or eight surviving Dadans had long since stopped looking back, but went straight up the grassy hills and retreated north.

After Li Qigou turned the horse's head, he beat the horse and went in pursuit.

The party horse is full of explosive power on flat ground, but the uphill foot strength is not as good as that of the prairie horse, and the endurance is not as good as the prairie horse. The Dadan people kept changing the horses on horseback, but Li Qigou chased farther and farther.

When the sky slowly darkened, Li Qigou stopped the horse's hooves, and the low grass hills in front of him one by one, there was no Dadan in sight.

But it was Li Qigou who knew that he met the Dadan ranger on the grassland, and he started a war without saying a word. The Dadan people must mean to prepare for war this time. Then the army of the Dadan people is not far away.

Early the next morning, Li Qigou led people to continue north. He also sent two knights back to the south, and went back to report the movements of the Dadan rangers. Two hundred miles away from the Dadan people, then the Dadan army should be two or three hundred miles away is gathering, this kind of intelligence does not need to be seen with your own eyes, you can also speculate a rough idea.

The two horsemen who went back brought seven or eight horses, and two of the horses had thirty or forty heads hanging on their backs. This is also the reason why Li Qigou's first reaction when he sees the enemy is how to kill the enemy, because the appearance of the enemy also represents the appearance of military merits.

Three days later, Li Qigou stood on a grassy hill, and finally saw countless camp tents, as well as a team of knights from all over the world.

The Dadan people were really gathering, and Li Qigou took a pen and paper and began to calculate the approximate number of enemies. After estimating for a moment, Li Qigou opened his mouth and smiled: "Damn, in the early 40,000s, it is less than Lao Tzu thought." ”

After saying the words, Li Qigou turned over and got on his horse and headed back to the southeast. The Scout's errand is mostly complete, and the rest of the errand is to keep a close eye on the movements of the Dadans.

At this time, Zheng Zhi, the army advanced very slowly, and the bed crossbow and cannon were all in the army, so they couldn't get up fast. The general direction of the Dadan people has been determined, and the direction of the army's advance has naturally been determined.

When Li Qigou returns, he will be able to clearly know where the Dadan people gathered.

It was another sunset, Zheng Zhi and the planter Wu Yong discussed in the big tent for a long time, and then sent someone to spread the contempt to the big tent.

You can also come forward to meet and sit down.

Zheng Zhi called him contemptively, obviously there was something wrong, so he asked, "You can also contempt, how much are you this year?" How many children did you have? ”

The translator was already on the sidelines, hurriedly translating.

"The villain has two children in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year and has eight sons." You can also look puzzled, obviously unable to understand why Zheng Zhi asked these things.

Zheng Zhi smiled when he heard this: "It's quite capable of giving birth, if you want to come to this grassland, the days are monotonous, and there is no entertainment at night, so you can only have children to play." ”

The seed master and Wu Yongyan also laughed lightly.

Then he heard Zheng Zhi say again: "In the future, all the sons born to you, who are over five years old, will be sent to live in the city northwest of Moge Loss." ”

He was even more puzzled when he heard this, and blurted out: "Tian Khan, Mo Ge has lost the northwest land, and there is no city." ”

Zheng Zhi's face was solemn and replied: "In half a year, there will be a strong city there." The sons of the chiefs, and those who were over five years old, were to go into the city to dwell. Without the permission of the Protectorate of the Prairie Prefecture, he was not allowed to leave the city. ”

You can also contempt this time I understood it, and I understood the meaning of Zheng Zhi's move, and his mind was racing rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it, but he also asked casually: "Tian Khan, I don't know what this grassland protector is... ”

"The grassland capital protection mansion is the yamen that manages the grassland under the Yanwang Mansion, and the grassland capital protector is set up as the metropolitan governor, and from now on, all the departments of Dadan will be under the jurisdiction of the capital protection government." Zheng Zhi had already thought about this, and he had thought about the candidate for the governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate, which was Shi Jin. Prairie cattle and sheep are secondary, Zheng Zhi also needs countless prairie men to fight for himself, so this prairie must be controlled with an iron fist.

"Tian Khan, this grassland capital protectorate, is it the same as the Northwest Recruitment Division of the Liao State?" can also ask the words contemptuously, but there is also a meaning that he cares about the left and right, that is, he does not answer Zheng Zhi's words positively. You can obviously know the seriousness of this matter in your heart, even the Northwest Recruitment Division of the Liao State has never done such a thing.

can also resist in his heart, obviously unwilling to hand over his sons to this capital protectorate as a hostage.

Zheng Zhi naturally saw the contemptuous thoughts, his face was slightly hideous, and he said: "The Liao Kingdom has died at the hands of a certain person. Today's grassland Dadan is a servant at the feet of a certain person. The sons of all tribal chiefs are to be placed under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate. In the future, the matter of inheritance will also be sealed by the order of the Metropolitan Protectorate, so as to avoid the struggle for power and profit, and also to avoid the grassland war. What do you think? ”

Zheng Zhi said "What do you think" at the end, and his voice was even more aggravated, and his eyes looked directly contemptuous. It seems to be a discussion, but it is a threat.

can also be contemptuous, his face turned pale a few times, but he held back a sentence: "Tian Khan, I'm afraid that people from other tribes will not agree to this law." ”

The situation is stronger than people, and they dare not refuse directly, but they use the excuse that other tribes do not agree.

Zheng Zhi's face was even more hideous, and he said in a low voice: "After a few days, no one on this grassland will dare to disobey someone's wishes." What do you think of this? ”

He was also flustered in his heart, and glanced up at Zheng Zhi slightly, but saw Zheng Zhi standing up as he spoke, and his right hand was already stroking the handle of the knife on his waist.

Even when he saw this, he was also shocked, and finally a few words popped out of his mouth: "The villain naturally thinks that Tian Khan's move is extremely appropriate, so that the struggle for power and profit can be avoided, and the most important thing in the tribe can be solved." The villain worships the Khan of thanks. ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he sat down slowly, and the hand that touched the handle of the knife was also retracted, and most of the hideousness on his face was gone. Nodding slightly, he said, "You go back and send a few henchmen and a team of men under a certain command back to the bald cadres, bring this matter to the tribe, and let your eight sons go to naturalize first with a certain person under your command, and then enter the new city to live after the new city is built." Xincheng is not far from your tribe, and you can also bring your family to visit more often. When the time comes, I will also ask teachers to teach them Han poetry and etiquette, and they will not be slack off in life. You can rest assured. ”

Zheng Zhi's plan is not the present, but the plan is extremely far, if the leaders of the grassland tribes are all taught by Han teachers in the future, the meaning of this matter will be very different.

You can only nod your head again and again, get up and go out, that is, you are still thinking about how to deal with things in your mind, or deceive, or make the newborn child incognito, no matter what, there should be a way to deal with it.

You can also go out of the door with contempt, but Wu Yong opened his mouth: "Your Highness, in the future, you need to send officials to various tribes, so that you can monitor the leaders of various tribes." ”

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhi shook his head when he heard this, and only said: "Monitoring is also possible, but it is not more important." In the future, the head of each tribe must be selected from among the descendants registered in the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the rest are not legal. But if there is disobedience, under the army, he will lose his orthodoxy, and see who else dares to violate this law on this grassland. ”

When Wu Yong heard this, he nodded reassuringly, and felt that Zheng Zhi's plan was really far-reaching. The planter also nodded again and again.

After a while, Shi Jin also came to the big tent.

Before and after the four of them began to talk in detail, Shi Jin would be the governor of the grassland capital, and these things would have to be fully explained. Other things can go wrong, and this thing must be carried out meticulously.

As long as this matter can be carried out, no matter how powerful the Mughul Murwei is in a few decades, it will not be possible to easily unify the grassland. Dadan, on the southern side of the steppe, must have been Temujin's greatest enemy.
