Li Bin ventured into the vast grassland this time not to rescue the people of Dayan who were looted as slaves, and of course it was impossible for him to escort these people back to Qizhou Prefecture.

Li Bin discussed with everyone and distributed the seized weapons and armor to the young and strong people among the people, so that these people could form a team to return to Qizhou Prefecture.

The martial arts style has always been popular among the people of the Great Yan Empire. Men have basically practiced both skills. Among the 324 Great Yan people, there are more than 250 young and strong people. Even if they encounter small groups of Hu cavalry, they are not without the ability to fight back.

In addition, after capturing the Urong tribe, Li Bin and his friends seized a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, as well as many other supplies, such horses, cattle and sheep, and various other supplies. Li Bin asked the 324 Dayan people to choose at will, and as long as you can take away, you will be given as much as you can.

Since Li Bin and his friends had to continue looking for the whereabouts of Li Zhao, Li Lie and Li Jingmao on the grassland, they only took away gold, silver and jewelry, which were valuable and easy to carry.

In this largest and most luxurious felt bag in the Urong tribe, Li Bin found one thousand taels of gold, more than four thousand taels of silver, eight hundred taels of gold and more than one thousand taels of silver, and the gold and silver notes were issued by the Ministry of Revenue of the Dayan Empire, and the value was equivalent to gold and silver.

Before fighting with the Southern Qiang cavalry, after each war, they also obtained a lot of gold and silver, as well as gold and silver notes. In addition, the seizure from this Wurong tribe, Li Bin and his friends went north this time, and the money they only obtained was equivalent to about 50,000 taels of silver.

When Li Bin and the others left with the 324 Dayan people, they lit all the felt bags and forages from the Urong tribe. Many things that could not be taken away were thrown into the lit felt bags and forages, and almost burned the Urong tribe.

After Li Bin and his friends separated from the rescued people of Dayan, there was a thin middle-aged man in Li Bin's team.

The middle-aged man's name is Huang Ming. He has been employed by caravans to enter the grassland many times and sells tea, salt, and iron products among various tribes on the grassland, which are scarce on the grassland. He is quite familiar with the grassland situation around Qizhou Prefecture, and even the language of several ethnic groups on the grassland.

In fact, the Dayan court explicitly prohibited the sale of any goods, especially tea, salt and iron, to various tribes on the grassland. However, this ban was useless in the northern border of the Dayan Empire.

For example, the head coach of Jingyuan Guard, Ma Huaizhong, has several large caravans that go to the grassland to sell various goods all year round, and the head coaches of other northern frontiers are all the same.

Li Bin kept Huang Ming behind in order to let Huang Ming take them to find the tribe of the Southern Qiang tribe, and also gave Huang Ming a reward of 500 taels of silver.

According to Huang Ming, Li Bin and the others went in the wrong direction. Now this grassland is considered a pasture for the Wurong tribe. If you want to go to the pasture for the Nanqiang tribe, you have to go east.

So under Huang Ming's guidance, Li Bin and his group walked towards the east of the grassland to find the tribe of the Southern Qiang tribe.

Huang Ming looked at the seven grassland horses in Li Bin's team and said with envy and concern: "The head family, the grassland horses are regarded as divine horses by various nomadic peoples. If any tribe or tribe can get a grassland horse, the news will even spread throughout the grassland soon. Now the head family has seven grassland horses in their hands at once. Once the news spreads, it will inevitably cause considerable trouble."

Li Bin said indifferently: "Mr. Huang, don't worry, we will only wander around the territory of the Southern Qiang tribe, and most of the troops of the Southern Qiang tribe are still in Jingyuan City. Even if the Southern Qiang tribe knows that we have seven grassland horses, I believe that there will not be too many troops to rob them for a while. Perhaps the Southern Qiang tribe sent to rob the grassland horses is not enough for us brothers to kill them!"

Huang Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded. Before, Li Bin, Sun Xiong, Fang Hu, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong killed hundreds of Wurong cavalry. Huang Ming saw it with his own eyes. As long as he was not surrounded by thousands of Hu cavalry, a small group of Hu cavalry should not threaten Li Bin and the others.

Two days later, Huang Ming and Li Bin found a small tribe of the Southern Qiang tribe, and then a bloody killing was staged in this small tribe of the Southern Qiang tribe...

Just when Li Bin and others were causing a bloody storm in the territory of the Southern Qiang people, on July 23, the 15th year of Jianping, the two Dayan troops entering the grassland from Jingyuan City and Xin'an City finally arrived north of Jingyuan City. However, at this time, the 70,000 troops originally combined were only more than 60,000 left.

At this time, 100,000 Southern Qiang cavalry and 120,000 Wurong cavalry had gathered in Jingyuan City and the grasslands near Jingyuan City.

In fact, the Urong tribe and the Southern Qiang tribes invaded Qizhou Prefecture this time, and the loss of Jingyuan City was not planned in advance by the two tribes.

Because the Urong tribe suddenly gathered 70,000 to 80,000 Urong cavalry from various tribes, the Southern Qiang tribe, which was adjacent to the Urong tribe, couldn't help but worry, fearing that the Urong tribe would send troops to seize the ranch of the Southern Qiang tribe, so a large number of Southern Qiang cavalry were gathered to prepare for the battle.

However, later the Southern Qiang tribe discovered that the target of the Wurong tribe was Yan State, and then I realized that it was a false alarm.

However, when the Southern Qiang tribe accidentally discovered that Jingyuan City had an opportunity, the Khan of the Southern Qiang tribe decisively sent troops and used spies who had been stationed in Jingyuan City for many years to attack the northern gate of Jingyuan City, thus allowing the strong city of Jingyuan City to easily fall into the hands of the Southern Qiang tribe.

After taking control of Jingyuan City, the Nan Qiang tribe used some of the trophys from Jingyuan City to quickly reach an alliance with the Wurong tribe against the Great Yan Empire, which led to the continuous harassment of the 70,000 Da Yan army by the Urong cavalry, and the grand occasion of the two tribes gathering 220,000 troops in Jingyuan City.

The reason why the 60,000 Dayan army dared to reach north of Jingyuan City at this time was that the Dayan Empire had now gathered 130,000 troops in Mopan County, south of Jingyuan City.

Although the total strength of the Standing Army of the Dayan Empire is as high as 2.2 million, it is not so easy to gather a large number of troops together in a short period of time. After all, the Dayan army, whether it is an imperial guard or a mansion, is mainly infantry.

Unlike the army of all nomadic peoples on the grassland, almost all cavalry are cavalry, and in a short time, cavalry from the entire tribe can gather together to launch an attack on hostile forces.

It was not easy for the Great Yan Empire to gather 130,000 troops in Mopan County in more than a month after the fall of Jingyuan City. These 130,000 troops even included three inner guards and imperial guards who came from the capital, including the left imperial guard, the left supervisor and the right supervisor.
