Correspondingly, Zhao Ning was generally satisfied with the combat power shown by the B-word battalion.

Except for the battle to pacify the Nanzhao offenses twenty years ago, there have been almost no wars worth talking about in these years, and although the pampered Central Forbidden Army still looks mighty, it is actually overwhelmed.

Only the border armies of the four realms still have combat power.

The hour was not early, and Zhao Ning didn't plan to rush again today, so that the Yizi camp would be camped on the spot. Although the horse thief's cottage is fully built, Zhao Ning will not let the B-shaped battalion station. Even a night's rest is not good.

This is not a golden rule, but Zhao Ning wants to distinguish the Yanmen army from the horse thieves, and the two cannot be mixed together. Moreover, with the pride of the Yanmen army, they did not want to spend the night in the nest of horse thieves unless it was absolutely necessary.

Yang Jiani finally finished eating. She really finished eating, and in the bulging package that Zhao Ning handed her, there was half of his rations, and now it was wiped out by Yang Jiani, and there was not even any residue left.

Grunt and drank the water in the water bladder, Yang Jiani, who was satisfied with the burp, saw that Zhao Ning was idle, looked at the Zhang Ermo knife inserted on the ground on the side, hesitated for a while, and his eyes fell on the clean cloth bag in his hand.

In the end, she persuaded herself, and instead of lifting the Mo knife, she folded the empty cloth bag neatly, got up and tied it to the saddle, straightened it out and looked satisfied, and then returned to the stone and sat down again.

After Zhao Ning arranged the affairs of the B-word camp, he turned his head to see Zhao Jiani's movements, and his eyes stayed on the package by the saddle for a while.

The bag was folded so well that the corners were so neat that it barely had a bow.

"You ....... me next"

"You bring the troops back ......."

Yang Jiani didn't speak first this time, she closed her red cherry mouth tightly in time, her big black and shiny eyes didn't blink, she looked at Zhao Ning quietly, and asked him to finish his words first.

"I'm going to Dadan next, and you come with me. Zhao Ning was concise and to the point.

He originally wanted to say "Mother asked you to come with me" and ask "Would you like to", but as soon as this sign appeared, he snuffed it out.

Speaking the first sentence, it seems that he is reluctant to let the other party follow, and adding the latter sentence makes him a little weak, since walking together is an established strategy, then there is no need to ask the other party too much for advice.

Yang Jiani nodded, her voice was as clear as a mountain stream and as quiet as a pool of water, but her tone was a little dull: "It's not bad for you to lead the troops." ”

nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhao Ning's proposal just now, and simply did not grind;

The latter sentence represents her agreement with Zhao Ning's deployment of attacking the horse thief's lair, the arrangement of distributing the capture and capture of the horse thief after the war, and looks down on Zhao Ning for this.

Again, it's succinct.

Zhao Ning immediately accurately understood Yang Jiani's meaning, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

It seems that in Yang Jiani's eyes, he should still be the young man who is obsessed with gentleness, willful, and unlearned. Well, if you behave a little better, you should be praised.

After resting all night, the next day, the soldiers of the B-shaped battalion left the camp early. Except for Ma Nan, who escorted the goods and the wounded, most of the light cavalry were divided into several units, escorting the horse thieves and captives to the various tribes that had been plagued by them.

The names and locations of these tribes were naturally obtained from interrogating the captives, and they were basically distributed within a radius of three hundred miles, which was not too far away. Although the Yanmen army will be delayed for a while, it is not too troublesome.

Zhao Ning's movement to exterminate the horse thief was soon known by someone with a heart.

On the way back, Chalahan, the Right Virtuous King of the Tianyuan Clan, after Zhao Ning's team surpassed them, he sent a master from the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm to follow behind from a distance.

He wanted to find out Zhao Ning's specific whereabouts, find out his true purpose for inspecting the grassland, and whether he had any other plans. After receiving a reward from his men, Charahan was surprised.

"Why did the Yanmen army suddenly run to exterminate the horse thieves?"

The old man stroked his beard and groaned, and said to Chalahan: "King, Zhao Ning's move has a deep meaning, we have to think deeply!"

Charahan glanced at him, "What's the meaning?"

"This ...... It is not yet known. Still, we can think big. ”

"How big?"

"The purpose of the Yanmen Army's inspection of the grassland. ”

"Do you know what they're for?"

"I didn't know it before, but now I have eyebrows. ”

"Destroying horse thieves is part of their purpose?"

"If not, what are they going to do to kill the horse thieves?"

"Sending troops to suppress bandits is nothing more than establishing authority and morality. ”

"To whom is the authority, to whom is the virtue?"

Without waiting for Charahan to answer, the advisor said loudly: "Of course, it is to establish authority against us, and to establish virtue against those tribes who have been plagued by horse thieves!"

"Hmph, if you exterminate a group of horse thieves, you can stand up to us?"

"One force is naturally not enough to establish power, but what if the cavalry of Yanmen patrolling the grassland exterminates horse thieves everywhere?"

Zarahan fell silent.

As soon as there are many such things, the entire grassland will realize the military might of the Yanmen army.

The strategist continued: "The purpose of the Yanmen Army to establish prestige and virtue is even more worthy of deep thought. ”

Charahan looked solemn, "What does the Great Qi Emperor mean to let us know that the Yanmen army can suppress bandits today, and will be able to use troops against the royal court tomorrow?

"I can't think of a better answer than that. ”

Charahan took a slow breath, "In this case, things will be in trouble. If we don't agree to their conditions, they will be difficult to ride the tiger themselves, and they will inevitably make greater moves against the royal court. ”

"But we will never agree to their conditions!"

"If we don't agree, there is a high risk that war will break out. ”

"It seems that Daqi is indeed preparing for this war. It's a pity that our scouts couldn't find any useful information in Daizhou, otherwise we would have been able to make a more accurate judgment. ”

"The Yanmen Army's suppression of bandits this time will at least make many people in the Dadan Department grateful to them, and once the war breaks out, those people may fight side by side with the Yanmen Army. ”

"A Dadan royal court is not difficult to deal with, we can even destroy it with thunder, but if many people in the area controlled by the Dadan Department follow the Yanmen army to resist us, then attacking the Dadan Royal Court is only destroying a royal court, and we can't use this to conquer the entire Dadan Ministry!"

Charahan fell silent, his brow furrowed.

The old strategist pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Looking at the direction of Zhao Ning's journey this time, it is very likely that he will go to the royal court of the Dadan Ministry. ”

Charahan's eyes were sharp, but he did not speak.

The old strategist continued: "If Wang Ting really has a spy from the Great Qi Generals, then our plan to conquer the Dadan Department is very likely to have been leaked, and Zhao Ning will go to the Dadan Department with this news!"

Speaking of this, the old man took a deep breath: "Zhao Ning is going to discuss the alliance with the Khan of the Dadan Department?!"

Chalahan's eyes turned cold, "No wonder Zhao Ning wants to suppress the bandits!"

Daqi knew that the Tianyuan tribe was going to conquer the Dadan Tribe, so he had already begun to prepare.

On the one hand, the Yanmen Army sent Zhao Ning to the royal court of the Dadan Department to conclude a wartime military alliance with the Dadan Khan; on the other hand, it also let the Yanmen Army suppress bandits along the road, win the hearts of the Dadan Army, and lay the foundation for the next Japanese battle!

Tsarahan felt that the situation had suddenly become dangerous and urgent.

But when you think about it, there are contradictions.

If Daqi really knew about the military deployment of the Tianyuan tribe, then what would it take to let the Yanmen army go to the grassland to suppress the bandits, with the national strength and pride of Daqi, he should have mobilized a large army to rush to the border pass and directly start a war against the Tianyuan royal court!

At the same time, the Emperor of Great Qi only needed an edict and ordered the Dadan Ministry to assist.

Letting the Yanmen Army patrol the grassland is simply redundant.

What exactly does the Great Qi Emperor mean, and what is the idea of the Great Qi Imperial Court?

Charahan couldn't figure it out for a while, but he felt that the water seemed to be very deep.

After a while, he made up his mind, "We don't have to leave with the team, we should rush back to the royal court immediately!"

The soldiers and horses of the Tianyuan Royal Court's expedition to the Dadan Department have been secretly mobilized one after another, and they only need to wait until the autumn grass is yellow and the cattle are fat and the horses are strong, and then they can start a war.

But now, Daqi's measures are unpredictable, everything has changed dramatically, and no one knows when the crisis will come, and what the scene will be when it comes.

The situation in the grassland was already on the eve of great changes, and he had to return to the royal court immediately to discuss specific countermeasures with Tianyuan Khan, the crown prince and others.

......

Zhao Ning is very relaxed and comfortable.

In the middle of the moon, he finished his cultivation, walked out of the tent, found a flat place, lay down on the grass, crossed his legs and stared at the clear and clear night sky, enjoying the quiet leisure time at night.

It is not far from the royal court of the Dadan Department, and it will be possible to arrive in two days, and along the way, his soldiers and horses have solved two more horse thieves by the way. Although the number of these two horse thieves is relatively small, only a few hundred people, the effect is the same.

The closer you are to the center of power, the better the law and order, and the fewer horse thieves there are, as is the case in Daqi. At present, there is always no shortage of green forest heroes in the deep mountains and old forests, and some forces are not small.

Every time he exterminated a group of horse thieves and gave them as slaves to the tribes they had harmed, Zhao Ning would always be treated like a god by the bold and simple shepherds.

The other party's respectful and bowing posture, full of respectful smiles, and sincere thanks to him all made Zhao Ning feel happy. This kind of scene has been experienced, and his mood has always been refreshing.

Who doesn't want to be praised and respected?

The soldiers of the B-shaped battalion are now all red-faced, and they hold their heads up and hold their chests high wherever they go. This is not only because they are powerful soldiers of the Yanmen Army, but also because they are respected by others from the bottom of their hearts.

Ordinary people want to become stronger, so that they can win the fear of others, and they can swagger wherever they go; when they really become stronger, people are always not satisfied with being feared, but also want to be respected and even worshipped.

The latter will make people more pleasant physically and mentally, think more highly of themselves, feel that they are charismatic, amazing, like gods.

Zhao Ning gave the soldiers of the Yizi Battalion such an experience. Therefore, although Zhao Ning has been with the Yizi Battalion for a short time, his position in the hearts of the soldiers is already unbreakable.

In addition, during this time, Zhao Ning's cultivation has made rapid progress, although it is not very close to the middle stage of the achievement of the Yuan Shen Realm, but it is not too far. In terms of cultivation speed, it was much faster than when he was in Yanping City.

Of course Zhao Ning knows the reason, now his mood is not as heavy as when he was first reborn, his chest is always open, and he has a lot more smiling faces on weekdays, and his mental state has come up, so he naturally does everything with half the effort.

Just like Yang Jiani, this Nizi has a pure mind, no impurities, and never wants to mess up things, so her cultivation is a thousand miles away. Zhao Ning can also be regarded as learning from the other party.

Just thinking about it, Yang Jiani suddenly appeared in Zhao Ning's sight.

The other party stretched out his long neck as white as a swan to look at him, blocking a sea of stars, those eyes were brighter than the stars against the clean night sky, and the tips of the hair slightly raised by the night breeze were like flowing water.

Zhao Ning sighed in his heart.

He not only saw Yang Jiani's white and tender face, but also saw the cold and shining Mo blade next to that face!

After all, you still can't avoid this fight?
