Not being able to capture Jia Jihan alive has always been Liu Ji's regret.

Because of Mo Si's self-confidence, and because of Mo Si's character, Jia Jihan finally fled, as for where he fled to, no one knows Lu Dao, and it is impossible to know Lu Dao, and Jia Jihan's fight this time made Liu Ji tremble, if he hadn't come to the Xibe tribe station, he found the problem in advance, Jia Jihan's all the arrangements would have been successful, and at that time, nothing he said would have worked.

The bonfire party of the day continued, Mo Si knew the seriousness of the situation, and after talking with Liu Ji for a long time, he tried his best to keep Liu Ji, Mo Si's meaning was also very clear, what he did wrong was what he did wrong, I hope Liu Ji can say good things in front of Su Tiancheng and talk about the actual situation of the Xibe people.

When he left the Xibe tribe station, Liu Ji's thoughts were basically fixed, Mo Si could not continue to serve as the leader of the Xibe tribe, otherwise something would happen sooner or later in the future, of course, this was his idea, as for whether Su Tiancheng would agree and what kind of arrangements would be made, it was not a matter for Liu Ji to operate.

Four days later, Liu Ji came to the station of the Daur tribe, and to his surprise, the Daur tribe was also ready to face the battle, and the leader of the tribe had already known that the Xibe tribe might launch a sneak attack.

At this time, Liu Ji completely believed that all this was plucked by the Houjin Tartars, hoping that the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe would have a conflict, and they would not be able to carry out the conquest of the steppe tribes.

Liu Ji felt fortunate that he did his best to prevent an accident from happening, and Liu Ji at this time would not have thought of it because of this time. He will take on even more important tasks.

Along the way, Liu Ji was very careful, there were only forty soldiers around him, and his strength was not strong, and in the huge grassland, a team of forty people was nothing. The grassland cannot be compared with the Guannai, for a day or two, there is no one who can meet a person, there is no guide who is particularly familiar with the path, and the direction is lost, and forty people are easily swallowed by the vast grassland.

After staying in the Daur tribe for three days, carrying out all the tasks, and successfully dissuading the leaders of the Daur tribe, Liu Ji took many brothers with him. Returned to Fort Tranquility.

From Anning Fort to the final return, it took less than a month, but Liu Ji felt as if he had survived a year, but Liu Ji, who returned to Anning Fort, had no time to rest, Sun Yuankun told Liu Ji. Immediately rushed to Datong and waited for Su Tiancheng in Datong. As for the task of entering the Hetao area, Sun Yuankun needs to undertake it alone.

Liu Ji was very happy, he hadn't seen Su Tiancheng for a long time, and he also knew that all the information he provided was in Su Tiancheng's hands. prompted Su Tiancheng to change his decision, come to the grassland in person, and participate in the conquest of the grassland tribes, such a change is not a simple matter.

Liu Ji did not delay, after tidying up a little. Depart from Anning Fort and rush to Datong.

Because of the conquest of the grassland, the mutual market of Anningbao and Jingbian, the management was more strict, but at this time, Sun Yuankun, Liu Ji, Yue Gaofeng and others were successively withdrawn, and all the management responsibilities of the mutual market fell to Song Sijun, but fortunately, Song Sijun had long been familiar with everything and could coordinate as a whole.

Liu Ji arrived in Datong, and it was already the middle of December.

The Spring Festival is approaching, the atmosphere of Datong has changed greatly, years of calm, so that Datong slowly began to prosper, although it is still a border pass, but the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe as a barrier to the border pass, undertook the most important task of guarding, after the golden Tatars did not dare to easily covet the pass, Datong as the responsibility of the border pass, slowly appeared some changes, the center of gravity slowly biased to the direction of Liaodong, when Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to the governor of Liaodong, he transferred a part of the troops from Datong, Qin Liangyu came to Datong, After serving as the governor of Datong, his attention was focused on Liaodong.

To be honest, Datong has become a reserve base for Liaodong's troops.

When Liu Ji came to Datong, Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying had not yet arrived in Datong.

The first thing Liu Ji saw was Qin Liangyu, the governor of Datong.

Qin Liangyu received Su Tiancheng's letter, knowing that Su Tiancheng led the army of the Jiangning battalion to come to Datong, as for what the task was, Su Tiancheng did not say it for the time being, but Qin Liangyu could judge that Su Tiancheng must be making a fuss on the grassland.

The imperial court was negotiating with the Houjin Tartars, and the Houjin Tartars were willing to submit to the Ming court.

This trick of the Houjin Tartars, Qin Liangyu will not believe it, if she hadn't come to Datong, she would have tried her best to oppose such negotiations, the strength of the Houjin Tartars, Qin Liangyu is clear, she once led the white pole soldiers, and the Houjin Tartars had a face-to-face fight, the strength of the Houjin Tartars did not suffer a devastating blow, how could she surrender to the Ming court.

Because of this view, Qin Liangyu did not relax the training of the Datong border army, although it was close to the age of ancient times, it should be the time to recuperate, but Qin Liangyu did not want to enjoy it in peace, and often went to the barracks to supervise the training of the sergeants.

Liu Ji came to Datong and let Qin Liangyu see hope.

The conversation between Qin Liangyu and Liu Ji was very interesting, Qin Liangyu wanted to know a lot of information, but Liu Ji didn't dare to speak casually, Su Tiancheng didn't give instructions, Liu Ji didn't dare to say casually, only when Qin Liangyu showed Su Tiancheng's letter, Liu Ji slowly opened his mouth and talked about the matter of the Hetao grassland.

Through this conversation, Qin Liangyu understood that Su Tiancheng was preparing to conquer the Mongolian steppe, and the purpose was to destroy the Mengbaqi and let the Houjin Tartars lose their Mongolian support, this was not an ordinary battle, it was equivalent to cutting off the arms of the Houjin Tartars and giving the Houjin Tartars a heavy blow.

After understanding Su Tiancheng's arrangement, Qin Liangyu was restless, such a battle, she must participate, her son Ma Xianglin followed Su Tiancheng, and repeatedly made military exploits, and now he is already the commander of the Jiangning battalion, this time he must follow Su Tiancheng and enter the grassland to conquer, such a good opportunity, how could he not participate in it, plus the Datong border army, which is also under the unified command of Su Tiancheng, can also participate in the battle of the expedition.

Qin Liangyu knew even more that once Su Tiancheng conquered the grassland and made the entire grassland tribe submit to the Ming Dynasty, the Datong border army would have no meaning to continue to exist, and the garrison of the Ming court would also undergo great changes, and Datong would no longer be a border pass.

Qin Liangyu knew that he was old, and there were not many expeditions that he could participate in, he had been in the capital all these years, with the title of the imperial envoy, in fact, there was not much to do, and he finally came to Datong, and there was no task to fight, seeing that the opportunity was coming, how could he miss it.

In late December, Su Tiancheng came to Datong.

The taste of day and night walking is uncomfortable, disrupting the biological clock, but in order to be able to keep it secret, Su Tiancheng also has to bear it, fortunately, he is still young and can adapt, as for Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze and others, needless to say, everything is for the grassland expedition that is about to begin.

When entering Datong City, Qin Liangyu was waiting at the gate of the city with Liu Ji and others.

Su Tiancheng didn't say much, the army was stationed outside Datong City, for Datong, for a long time as a border pass, the transfer of the army is a very ordinary thing, and the arrival of 50,000 troops in Datong will not cause much of a sensation.

Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze and others directly entered the Governor's Mansion.

Qin Liangyu was very enthusiastic, the banquet was arranged in the Governor's Palace, considering that he was about to enter the grassland to conquer, and the first opponent was the Chahar tribe, Su Tiancheng would not drink excessively.

After eating, Su Tiancheng was about to return to the military camp outside the city, but was left behind by Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu was very direct, and implored him to follow Su Tiancheng and enter the grassland to conquer, Qin Liangyu's request made Su Tiancheng hesitate, not that he felt that Qin Liangyu had no ability, but mainly because Qin Liangyu was too old, he was already a sixty-seven-year-old man, the climate of the grassland was changeable, and the conditions for the expedition were very difficult, and it could not be compared with Guannei.

It's a pity that Qin Liangyu's attitude is resolute, he must follow the army to conquer, and he also suggested that he lead 10,000 Datong border troops to assist the Jiangning battalion soldiers in conquering the grassland tribes.

After careful consideration, Su Tiancheng agreed to Qin Liangyu's request, but he made a request, Qin Liangyu accompanied the Chinese army, which was equivalent to being at the command headquarters, and did not arrange the task of leading the army to fight for the time being.

Back at the barracks, Liu Ji was already waiting.

Su Tiancheng looked at Liu Ji and said with a smile.

"Liu Ji, your performance this time is very good, to stop the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe from fighting, this is a huge credit, if the two tribes are in the Houjin Tartars' tricks, fight each other, not only our expedition is affected, my Ming border will also be greatly impacted, this time you follow the army, enter the Mongolian steppe to fight, you don't follow me, go directly to assist He Renlong and Ma Xianglin, they are the vanguard of the former army, in the process of conquest, You still have to have more ideas, you have lived in the grassland, you know the situation of the grassland, you have to give more suggestions......"

Liu Ji was very excited, he didn't expect Su Tiancheng to make such an arrangement, he could directly participate in the battle, and he followed the forward troops, which clearly made him meritorious, and after the grassland expedition was over, he was afraid that he would have to go to a more important post.

"Liu Ji, Jia Jihan, you have seen this person, I believe he will not leave the Mongolian grassland, in the process of the expedition, you pay attention, and strive to capture Jia Jihan alive, I don't believe it, this Jia Jihan, will he leave the grassland and go directly to Shenyang."
