Chapter 82: Re-entering the grassland

Because of the Spring Festival, Li Bin did not take people to the grassland immediately.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Bin opened six new Li Family hot pot restaurants in the capital, which delayed a few more days.

So far, Li Bin's industry in Beijing has already had four gambling halls and twelve hot pot restaurants. Next, Li Bin is also planning to open the hot pot restaurant to eight counties on the Beijing Road, and even the fifteen prefectures of the entire Dayan Empire.

It was not until January 22, 16th year of Jianping that Li Bin left the capital with his own guards, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong's two teams.

The four personal guards, Sun Xiong, Fang Hu, Han Zhang and Han Rui, also followed Li Bin.

In order not to reveal his identity, Li Bin was planning to leave the seven grassland horses in the capital. After all, the seven grassland horses appeared together, which was too conspicuous and easily reminded people of Li Bin and the others. When Li Bin and the others successively built a Wurong tribe and five southern Qiang tribes on the grassland, the seven grassland horses had become Li Bin and the others' symbols.

However, Li Bin also considered that if he went to the grassland to grab horses this time, if he was surrounded by a large number of Hu cavalry, he would have to rely on the speed of his war horses to avoid being trapped in the siege. Otherwise, once he was surrounded by tens of thousands of Hu cavalry, even if Li Bin and his soldiers were brave, it would be difficult for him to escape in the end.

And if five strong men with heavy tonnage like Li Bin, Sun Xiong, Fang Hu, Han Zhang and Han Rui don’t ride on the grassland sky horse, it will drag down the entire team if they don’t do it well.

So in the end, Li Bin brought all the seven grassland horses. As for the fact that the seven grassland horses are prone to reveal their identities, Li Bin felt that dead people would not reveal any secrets.

When recruiting soldiers from the Xiaoqiu camp, Li Bin, except for the eighty people being taken as his own family soldiers, the rest of the soldiers with good physical fitness and strong martial arts were all assigned by Li Bin to Qin Qiong's first team and Yuchi Gong's second team.

There is no complaint about the team rates of the other eight teams in the Knight Camp. After all, everyone knows that the first and second teams are truly the direct line of the battalion Li Bin.

The two teams combined, not counting the team leading Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, as well as the deputy team leading Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Shi Su and Yang Hong, there were 530 soldiers in total. This time, when they went to the grassland, the 530 soldiers were each equipped with a Yuzhou horse, a pair of light armor, a spear, a shield, a waist knife and some dry food. Some soldiers also brought bows and arrows.

Although this time, it was a secret operation to rob horses on the grassland, when Li Bin and his friends set off, there were many people who came to see Li Bin and his friends off. King Zhao Jian and Ma Renju both came here to practice for Li Bin.

After Li Bin exchanged greetings with the people who saw him off one by one, he said to Li Zhao, who was full of sorrow, "Dad, don't worry, I will not have anything to do with Shubao, Jingde, Big Bear, Erhu and others."

Li Zhao sighed and said, "Or why you bring Zhang Xu, Wu Sheng and the others with you too. The eight of them have good martial arts skills and should be able to help."

After Li Zhao was promoted to the command of the Imperial Guards, he selected eight of the best martial arts men among the soldiers under his command to recruit them as family soldiers of the personal guards. However, among them, Zhang Xu and Wu Sheng, who were the best martial arts men, were only Mingjin warriors.

Li Bin said with a wry smile: "Dad, I have brought two teams from the Cavalry Camp this time, and the staff are enough. You really don't have to worry about me."

At this time, Ma Renju spoke to Li Bin and said, "Brother Li Bin, I have sent someone to send a letter to my elder brother. If you encounter any danger in the grassland, you can send someone to Jingyuanwei for help."

The eldest brother Ma Renju mentioned was Ma Rentong, the eldest son of Ma Huairen, the head of the Ma family. Ma Rentong replaced Ma Huairen and took over the position of commander of Jingyuanwei.

Li Bin expressed his gratitude to Ma Renju, but he did not take it seriously. If it really reached the point where he needed help, he would have fallen into the siege of a large number of Hu cavalry. At that time, even if the Jingyuan Guard came out in full swing, it might not be of no use. Moreover, the Jingyuan Guard had the important task of guarding Jingyuan City and the surrounding military forts, so it was impossible to extract too many mobile troops.

Because Li Bin and his group were riding horses, they were on a fast journey. It took only more than ten days to arrive at Jingyuan City. Li Bin was preparing to take his people from Jingyuan City to the grassland.

Li Bin met the current head coach of Jingyuan Guard in Jingyuan City. Ma Rentong was very enthusiastic about Li Bin. When Li Bin first came to Jingyuan City, he met Ma Rentong, the deputy coach of the left imperial guard.

"Brother Li Bin, Brother Wei has 800 elite cavalrymen. These 800 cavalrymen are all of Wei's family soldiers. If you need them, Wei can lend them all to you."

When Li Bin heard this, he couldn't help but secretly talk in his heart. He is worthy of being the eldest son of the head of the Ma family. He has eight hundred cavalrymen at one move, and these eight hundred cavalrymen are Ma Rentong's own family soldiers.

"Thank you, Brother Ma, but this time I should have enough staff. If there are too many people, it will easily reveal whereabouts."

"Since that's the case, then Brother Wei will wait for you to come back in Jingyuan City and present you with a celebration wine. At that time, you must drink three hundred cups of wine with me!"

Before leaving Jingyuan City, Li Bin found Huang Ming, who helped Li Bin and the others lead the way in the city last time on the grassland.

After returning to Jingyuan City last time, Li Bin rewarded Huang Ming with a lot of property. Since Huang Ming's family had been killed by the Wurong cavalry, the house at home was burned by the Wurong cavalry. So Huang Ming used the money rewarded by Li Bin to rebuild his home in Jingyuan City.

When Li Bin found Huang Ming and explained his purpose, Huang Ming did not hesitate to express his willingness to be a guide to help Li Bin and others find the tribe of the Southern Qiang on the grassland.

With Huang Ming as the guide, Li Bin and his group left Jingyuan City and entered the vast grassland. Before leaving Jingyuan City, Li Bin's family soldiers and soldiers from the Cavalry Camp all disguised themselves and turned into a cavalry of the Wurong tribe.

And because of the guidance of Munch, the original number one warrior of the Urong tribe, Li Bin and others paid great attention to some details, which made this fake Urong cavalry be enough to make the fake fake and real.

Under Huang Ming's leadership, Li Bin and his team quickly found a small tribe of the Southern Qiang tribe.

Li Bin chose to launch a raid on this small tribe of the Southern Qiang tribe at dawn, but in less than half an hour, he completely captured the small tribe of the Southern Qiang tribe, and did not even allow a single herder to escape. Only two soldiers on Li Bin were killed and six soldiers were slightly injured.

In order not to reveal their whereabouts, except for the more than 100 people from Dayan who were rescued, the other captured people, whether young, strong, old, weak, women and children, were ordered to be killed by Li Bin.

Before his death, some young Southern Qiang women were humiliated by the soldiers under Li Bin. Not only did Li Bin not stop him, he even chose a relatively beautiful Southern Qiang women, completing the first time in this world.

In the war, rewarding captured women to soldiers is the most common practice in this world. Li Bin does not want to be independent. After all, soldiers are all strong men. If they don’t let them vent for a long time, there may be problems.

However, in the end, Li Bin did not ask his soldiers to massacre the elderly, weak, women and children of the Southern Qiang tribe, but instead took action by more than 100 people from Dayan who had just been rescued.

Many of the Dayan people who were looted to the grassland died at the hands of the Nanqiang people. They had unforgettable hatred for the Nanqiang people and were not ruthless in killing the elderly, weak, women and children.
