A few days after Taoyuan's arguments, Li Xingzhou would invite them to the mansion to ask for advice from time to time.

I woke up in the morning, accompanied by Yue'er, practiced early, and then went to the Privy Council to work on duty, came back for lunch, and sometimes I was invited by the queen to have a meal.

After coming back for dinner in the afternoon, I usually go to the back mountain to have a look and talk to Zhao Si and others. Life seems to be getting regular.

A few days later, Gillian grabbed a knife and wrote the document stamped with the Privy Council seal was also sent out.

One was for Yang Wenguang, the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture, and the other was for Zhe Weizhong, the governor of Yong'an Army, who asked them to go to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The remarks were to describe their duties, and the emperor wanted to ask about the northwest border defense.

But there are still regrets, that is, Yelu Dashi. Although he asked him to come and asked about the land, terrain and climate in Liaodong, he was blunt and did not hide it. However, as long as he mentioned his efforts and loyalty to the court, he would not agree, which made Li Xingzhou helpless. He would not really see through the world...

Not to mention the matter of Yelu Dashi for the time being, He Xu returned from Mobei and brought good news. Under his persuasion, several tribes on the grassland agreed to exchange war horses for iron tools. Some tribes also sent He Xu a batch of horses to show goodwill to Jingguo. The total of each tribe was more than 200 horses.

Li Xingzhou took He Qian to the ferry to greet him, and at the same time wrote a letter to the court to ask for his merits.

At the same time, it began to order the Privy Council that the military traveling to Beijing would use the replaced muskets and the grassland tribes to trade war horses.

After thinking about this, he felt that He Xu should be held responsible, after all, he was familiar with the grassland situation.

He Xu's trip not only convinced some tribes on the grassland to trade with them, but also investigated the situation on the grassland. Sure enough, after helping the Jin Dynasty to attack the Tatars, the Qiyan tribe and the Krei tribe of the Sun Khan had begun to annex the surrounding tribes.

Many tribes on the grassland are very scared and there is a possibility of a second union.

.........

"Which side of the Kelie tribe, the Qiyan tribe and other coalition forces do you think is more likely to win?" There were wine and food on the stone table in the palace villa, and there were maids serving him around. Why did Xu welcome the wind and dust?

He Xu said seriously: "Prince, the remaining dozen or so joints seem to be large and powerful, but I think they are not opponents of the Qiyan tribe."

"Why?" he asked curiously.

He Xu put down his wine glass: "Prince, there were more than a dozen tribes on the grassland that had joined forces to deal with the Qiyan tribe, but in the end they did not cause much damage to the Qiyan tribe. It seemed that the coalition forces won the battle, but all the tribes on the grassland understood the strength of the Qiyan tribe. In addition, in the battle against the Tatars last year, almost all the Tatars were killed, and many people were silent.

Some tribes in the south that once surrendered to the Jin Kingdom have now begun to move closer to the Qiyan tribe.

The Qiyan tribe has strong soldiers and horses, and the Kelie tribe is also a very powerful tribe. When they join forces, I feel that there is no opponent on the grassland."

"Then what do you think the trend of the grassland in the future?" Li Xingzhou asked.

"Maybe Qiyan will unify the eastern tribes and make the northern tribes surrender, just like the Huns, dominate the grasslands in the northern desert. If that is true, the officials felt that they must be prepared. Everyone in the grassland can ride and shoot well. If they are called to unify once, it will become a huge threat." He Xu said solemnly.

Li Xingzhou nodded and continued, "Where is the west?"

"It's hard to say about the west side. I haven't been to the west side, but it is said that there is a powerful Naiman tribe there, and the land on the west side should belong to the Kelie tribe. Unless the two families turn against each other, Qiyan should not expand westward."

......

The two had a great time talking, and they all said that they had heard all the way. Li Xingzhou liked to chat with people like him who traveled around the world and had a lot of knowledge.

When he talked about his happy place, he drank a few more drinks, and he became happier as he spoke. When He Qian, who came back from the back mountain, heard that her brother was back, he was excited to come over, and the reception of the crowd turned into a family dinner.

"The horses on the grassland are not afraid of the severe cold and heat, but they are not as big as Dayuan horses..." "The place on the grassland where Xin Changshengtian is not allowed to wash clothes, bathe, or pee in the river, so I won't take a bath a few times a year..."

"When I went south, rumored that Temujin planned to marry her teenage daughter to Khan of Wang Gubu. The old man was half-tied into the soil." When he said this, he just laughed and regretted it.

Such things are not surprising in this era. Women are just tools to maintain relationships. As most of the southern department, they can win over the Wang Gu tribe to contribute to Temujin's career. As for the rebirth of their daughter, it is.

Li Xingzhou nodded only, not only in the grassland, he heard that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Yingge, and the princess he had met, was also married by her younger brother to the leader of the Wulin tribe in Liaodong. The Wulin tribe is a Jurchen tribe. This move is to stabilize the country and win over the big clan.

There are many such things in Jingguo, especially among famous families and royal families.

Li Xingzhou didn't want to make more comments. He was powerless to change and it didn't matter to him.

"What is this grassland princess' name?" Li Xingzhou asked curiously.

"Call Alahaibeji..." He said with uncertainty, "I am helpless. Although this princess is young, she is very smart. She likes to deal with us merchants and speaks Chinese. She has known us before. This time she can talk to the noble Qiyan, so she has the help of this princess."

Li Xingzhou nodded. He was really a grassland prodigy. He vaguely felt that the name Alahaibeji was familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a moment, so he didn't ask any more questions.

.........

After mid-April, Di arrived and Shenlin lived directly at the port of the royal palace and began training for the new army naval.

A large number of Type 04 rifles and artillery began to be replaced one after another, and then the training began in full swing.

On the side of the Imperial Army, Li Xingzhou also activated Yang Hongzhao again, without asking for his past grudges and asked him to train the Imperial Army stationed on the north bank of the Great River. Yang Hongzhao was so grateful that he worked very hard.

The personnel arrangements in the north have begun to come out one after another after discussion by Degong, He Zhao, Bao Zheng and others. After Li Xingzhou reviews, these people will write to the emperor and will begin to prepare food on the road for the army to go to war next year and next.

Everything is going slowly and in an orderly manner.
