Opposite the table, Hai Lanzhu was devouring his food, burying his head in the rice without any image.

Wang Qi lowered his head and looked at the route map drawn by Hai Lanzhu to the Horqin Grassland Tribe.

"I heard what you just said," Hai Lanzhu gnawed on the small meatloaf in his hand, blinking his big eyes like stars.

"What are you referring to?" Wang Qi lowered his head and followed the road map with his fingers. According to Hailanzhu's plan, the mission will go north along the Liaohe River for more than 300 miles and arrive at the Yanghe River Basin in the southern part of the Horqin Grassland. There is a large swamp. After arriving in the swamp, the mission will turn directly to the northwest and go north along the Liuhe River. After more than 500 miles, they will arrive at Horqin Left Banner, where a large number of Horqin Mongolian tribe herders gather, and the Horqin Royal Court. Also located here.

"You say, what is there to occupy in the desolate land of southern Liaoning? Hou Jin occupied the land of southern Liaoning. Fundamentally speaking, the Guizhou donkeys were so incompetent that they no longer dared to advance even an inch westward!" Hai Lanzhu's lips were glossy. , with a sly look on his face: "I know, you are deliberately trying to calm people's hearts!"

Wang Qi looked away from the map, looked at Hai Lanzhu, and said with a smile: "You are half right."

"Huh?" Hai Lanzhu frowned slightly: "Half?"

"It's true to calm people's hearts," Wang Qi grinned, with a touch of contempt: "This captain looked down on Hou Jinzhen. It was true that he said that he was poor in skills, and it was also true that he didn't dare to go west!"

"Then, General, who do you think highly of?" Hai Lanzhu tilted his head, slightly confused: "That emperor of your Ming Dynasty?"

"Hey," Wang Qi did not answer Hai Lanzhu's words, but slowly rolled up the map on the table: "It's time to go, girl."

Looking at Wang Qi's leaving figure, Hai Lanzhu secretly made a face: "Arrogant guy!"

Half an hour later, at the gate of Zhenjingbao.

"The last general will lead the troops to Zhenjing Fort to see you off! I wish you success and make new achievements!" Zhang Ju led a group of generals to send Wang Qi off at the gate of Zhenjing Fort.

"Please come back. I hope that when I return from Horqin, you Zhang Shoubei will be waiting for us again!" Wang Qi sat on the horse and smiled casually. In the vast grassland, the breeze gradually picked up, blowing the long hair on Wang Qi's temples. Blow up.

Hai Lanzhu, who was following Wang Qi on horseback, turned to look at Wang Qi's side face. He was a little lost in thought for a moment. What kind of spirit and genius was that? Hai Lanzhu always thought that only the grassland could emerge warriors and heroes, but now he looked at it. Next to them, Wang Qi and Hai Lanzhu were also in a daze.

"Let's go! Head all the way north, out of Wuniang Pass and into the grassland!" Wang Qi did not have the melancholy and sentimentality of his daughter's family. After bidding farewell to everyone in Zhenjingbao, he turned his horse's head and led his men towards the north and the vast grassland. .

Flags are flying and horses are galloping.

"Do you think this Captain Wang looks like a person?" Zhang Ju stood at the gate of the fort and asked his lieutenant.

"Looks like a person?" The deputy general looked at the back of Wang Qi leading the envoy away, and felt vaguely familiar.

Zhang Ju sighed: "At such a young age, with such bravery and planning, he is not inferior to the Marquis of Dingyuan back then!"

"Hiss...Ban Dingyuan!" The deputy general smacked his lips: "How else could the Holy One say that Captain Wang Du had sent martial arts for heaven?"

————

After leaving Zhenjing Fort, there is an endless expanse of grassland.

In his previous life, Wang Qi had been to the grassland, and he had also experienced the vastness and boundlessness when riding a horse in the wind blowing across the vast grassland.

But now when the horse enters the grassland, a feeling of loneliness arises spontaneously.

Except for the goshawks that flew across the sky from time to time, there were no smoke, cattle or sheep in front of them, and no people on their way back on the entire road. There was only my own delegation of nearly a hundred people, marching in the green grassland that did not pass the horseshoes.

Although the entire team of envoys was small, they still followed the unified marching regulations of the Ming Dynasty on the march. The forwards explored the road, the middle army escorted, and the rear guards were scattered around and constantly patrolling. The flag representing the Ming Dynasty roared in the wind. The entire army

Silently and firmly marching forward, except for the patrolling scouts who alternated back and forth for half an hour, there was no other movement.

Along the way, Hai Lanzhu could hardly bear the torture of loneliness and silence. He wanted to speak to Wang Qi several times, but after looking sideways and seeing his steady gaze, Hai Lanzhu did not dare to speak again.

.

For some reason, after meeting Wang Qi, Hai Lanzhu, who claims to be fearless and the most beautiful mother in the world, unconsciously wants to get close to him, obey him, and hear his voice every time she sees him.

Seeing his appearance, my whole body couldn't help but feel hot.

"How did you become so mean!"

Hai Lanzhu almost bites his lips every time he thinks about this.

Finally, after traveling for more than 200 miles and before dark, the team finally arrived at the intersection of the Liao River and the Yang River. The pastures here are more lush than other places, and there are also many wild cattle, sheep, llamas, and horses.

This is drinking water.

"Camp here tonight!" Wang Qi gave the order: "Divide all the scouts into three teams and patrol in shifts at night!"

Among the soldiers led by Wang Qi, several were good at marching on the grassland. Not long after, six large white tents were raised more than a hundred meters away from the Yang River. One of the white tents was located in the center.

The remaining five large tents surrounded it, and outside was a simple fortification surrounded by war horses and Juma gates.

The sky was turning dark, and the temperature on the grassland dropped sharply. In the temporary camp, several military cooks had already begun to prepare dinner. Several bonfires were raised at the same time, and the smoke from the flames slowly floated towards the far distance.

At this time, the water flow of Yang River has begun to increase, and the sound of gurgling water reaches my ears from a hundred meters away, and flows southward into the nearby river.

"Aren't you afraid that the grassland tribes will find out about such a big fight?" In the big tent, Hai Lanzhu sat opposite Wang Qi, with a burning fire in the middle, which reflected the beauty of Horqin's cheeks.

"Isn't this grassland under the control of your Horqin Royal Court? If someone comes, you should be happy," Wang Qi held a book in his hand and was looking at it with great interest.

"Aren't you worried at all when your army enters the grassland alone?" Hai Lanzhu really didn't understand. Even though Wang Qi had unparalleled generals, there were unknown enemy tribes in front of us, and there was no way for reinforcements to survive all the way behind.

, this person does not have a trace of chaos and confusion like Xiaolu.

"The Ming Dynasty is behind me, what do I have to worry about? Why do you, King Horqin, want to go against my Ming Dynasty?" Wang Qi flipped through the book with his fingers and said casually.

"What if we are a step too late and Huang Taiji has already reached an agreement with Wang Ting?" Hai Lanzhu subconsciously thought about Wang Qi.
