This northern expedition started in early spring and returned in late autumn. It lasted eight months and involved a total of 150,000 troops from the Zhenbei Army, 60 third-generation Yuanwu cannons from the Firearms Battalion, and 100 gunpowder launchers.

In the first battle at Naiman City, they bombarded the enemy with artillery and gunpowder packets, causing confusion among the enemy troops. They then scattered arrows and used large-scale cavalry to charge into the formation, thus achieving a great victory.

Later, he took advantage of the victory to pursue and injure the enemy, and took advantage of Ahetai's attempt to form an alliance. He calculated well and caused a big battle between the Ulliang tribe and the Asote tribe. He then took the opportunity to attack and inflicted additional casualties on the two tribes...

In this battle, nearly 100,000 fine war horses and tens of thousands of suits of armor were obtained from the capture of enemy troops. In addition, many tribes in the Northern Yi were plundered, and the amount of cattle, sheep and horses was huge. More than 20,000 people were captured and more than 60,000 tribes were relocated...

…

Taking advantage of the opportunity to rest and recuperate, Guan Ning wrote down a note.

This is his habit.

Every time a war ends, a summary will be made.

Write down the detailed process, analyze the pros and cons, verify strategies and tactics, summarize the pros and cons, and summarize the shortcomings for future improvement.

Guan Ning wanted to gain experience in fighting the barbarians through summarizing war after war.

There is no doubt that the harvest this time is huge.

Putting aside the looted gold treasures, cattle, sheep and war horses, what is more important is the implementation of the strategy.

The Northern Yi will fall into chaos for a long time and will not have the energy to deal with the Central Plains for a long time. This will give Daning an opportunity to develop.

Furthermore, after this battle, the strength of the Kled tribe has been greatly improved, and the defensive barrier will be stronger...

All in all, it was a rewarding experience.

Guan Ning lifted the curtain and looked outside. Princess Duoyan was quite individual, and even asked her not to sit in the carriage.

He said he couldn't get used to sitting.

He picked up the pen again and wrote in the harvest column: "I also brought back a woman..."

The rest didn't last long.

The team continued to set off, and occasionally encountered people from the Kled tribe along the way. When they saw the imperial flag, they did not show any hostility, but were extremely enthusiastic.

Many people even waited on both sides of the road to give them kumiss, naan bread and other food.

Quite peaceful.

Guan Ning was also quite pleased. After this joint resistance to the Beiyi, the relationship between Daning and the Kelie tribe became more harmonious.

Not only does it exist at the top, but the herdsmen at the bottom are also very accepting.

Guan Ning knew that this was due to the battle in Naiman City. After that, through deliberate publicity, he became the savior to save the Kled tribe.

After all, no one has the confidence to face the Northern Yi army.

And not only did they resist, they also won.

The Kelie tribe received great favors, and the horses, cattle and sheep that were originally plundered by Guan Ning were also kept in the Kelie tribe.

This also won a lot of goodwill.

Guan Ning has high prestige in the Kelie tribe.

The two races are truly harmonious and as close as one family.

"How... is this done?"

Duoyan looked slightly surprised.

She never thought that the barbarians could get along with the Central Plains people to such an extent.

The Kled tribe are also barbarians.

She clearly saw soldiers from the Zhenbei Army greeting the barbarians cordially and stopping to talk.

"Nothing is impossible, as long as you are willing to do it."

Guan Ning also gave up his carriage and rode alongside him.

"What you see is just a corner."

Guan Ning said: "There is also a barbarian autonomous region in Yunzhou."

He gave a detailed explanation.

"You deliberately lure barbarians to your country?"

"right."

Guan Ning said: "You have also seen that the southern barbarian land is no better than the northern barbarians. There is very little grassland stock and most of the areas are barren. It cannot allow more barbarian people to survive. However, there is a large area of ​​land in the north of Daning, which is just suitable for survival.

"

"Of course, this is done on a voluntary basis. After all, some people don't want to change their living habits."

"Your Majesty is really kind."

Duoyan couldn't help but admire her, her eyes were filled with admiration.

These words made Guan Ning feel ashamed again.

There was a strong purpose behind what he did, and it was not entirely out of kindness.

But unexpectedly, I gained a little fangirl.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely work hard to make this day possible for Daning and the Ulliang tribe!"

Duoyan looked calm.

For the sake of peace between the two races, there should be no war.

This is a sacred mission!

"Um."

Guan Ning expressed appreciation.

He felt that the biggest gain this time seemed to be the princess.

And she will indeed play a huge role in the integration of the two races in the future...

Guan Ning was in a hurry to return home and made few stops along the way.

I have been out for a long time, lest there be chaos in the country.

What he thought was not wrong. When he returned to China, the court was already in trouble.

When I first left Beijing, it was for a tour of the north.

This is normal.

After all, Guan Ning had the experience of going south twice.

Therefore, it also attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone knows that wherever His Majesty goes, there will be an earthquake, and maybe heads will roll in.

Maybe there will be some new policies issued.

However, as time passed, no news came out, and His Majesty's whereabouts were not disclosed.

This is a problem.

The paper can't contain the fire, and it won't come out for a long time. There are also military supplies and grain and grass being transported. Although it is secretive, it cannot be hidden from people who are interested in spying.

After half a year, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government confirmed that His Majesty will go to the land of the Southern Barbarians!

The war begins again!

This caused the court to tremble.

How could such a big thing be concealed?

There was a huge quarrel between the DPRK and the Central Government.

Cabinet ministers also suffered collective siege.

It was normal for the emperor to go out on inspection tours, but if he went directly to fight in Nanman, this would be a big problem.

Now that he is the emperor, he is no longer the king of Zhenbei. How can he go to the battlefield and fight at will?

What if there is an accident?

After all, the sword has no eyes, so it is indeed too childish.

Somehow, more accurate news came out.

The reason for Your Majesty's expedition is that the Northern Yi army marched into the Central Plains.

People in Beiyi have only heard about it and don’t know much about it.

But it is said that it has a nose and eyes.

When all the strength of the Northern Barbarians was revealed, there were millions of troops, they were all murderous demons, and the Northern Barbarians were far more powerful than the Southern Barbarians...

In short, a huge crisis swept across Daning, and His Majesty had no choice but to lead the army personally.

This made people's hearts turbulent and the court unstable.
To be continued...
