The north wind howls, desolate and lonely.

It has already entered October in Nanman and it is starting to get colder. Guan Ning wants to leave before the heavy snow arrives, so there is no need to waste time. Even if the road is tight, it will be the beginning of spring when he returns to Daning...

As the king of a country, leaving Beijing for a long time might cause instability in the country, so he could only return home with his body injured.

Today he will leave the red clay plain. The army will wait for the battlefield to be cleaned up and rest for a while before withdrawing.

Guan Ning obviously couldn't wait until then.

There was no ceremony for leaving, and few people even knew about it.

When the matter is over, he goes away and hides his merit and fame.

After the war, the black-robed King Agula and Emperor Daning left one after another, but the reputation of these two people would spread throughout the grassland at an extremely fast speed...

The barbarians respect the strong. After this battle, Guan Ning gained high prestige among the Klei tribe.

It was right for my father to choose to engage in a head-on battle with the enemy. This was definitely a good time to increase his reputation and prestige.

In comparison, Wu Liangmu, the king of Northern Yi, seemed much weaker and did not have the demeanor of his father Khan Wu Liangbao.

Guan Ning was very worried about his uncle, whether his position would be threatened after he returned. After all, the barbarians were a place that respected the strong.

As long as you are strong enough, King Zhenbei can also become the King of Black Robes...

Perhaps because he was about to leave, Guan Ning had many distracting thoughts. He shook them off, looked at Tucker in front of him and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to give me a poem? You can recite it now."

He is obviously tall and thick, but he still pretends to be a scholar and gives him a farewell poem.

Guan Ning was quite curious.

"Please listen carefully, Emperor Daning."

Tucker cleared his throat and started chanting loudly.

"Yuan Wu bravely defeated the Northern Yi, and thousands of enemy troops were defeated in one fell swoop."

"The red earth plains come to Dinglu, and the grassland sky is dyed deep red."

"The whole army of three thousand cavalry entered, and one hundred thousand barbarians were defeated in a single battle."

"Whoever opposes a brave and heroic warrior will create a storm on the battlefield thousands of miles away."

Tucker's voice was high-spirited when he chanted. He spoke the original Chinese very well, but he had a slight accent, which did not affect his momentum at all.

"How's it going? Is this poem good?"

"very good!"

Guan Ning said: "When I return to the capital, I will ask a famous artist to write down this poem, frame it, and hang it in my imperial study."

"Really?"

"Ha ha!"

Tucker laughed, obviously very happy.

"In addition, I will add that it will be a gift from Tucker of the Kled tribe."

"Isn't this your signature?"

"Yes, why isn't such a good poem signed?"

Guan Ning said: "I want this poem to be spread all over the world."

"Pass it to the world?"

Tucker looked dull, but it could be seen from his twitching cheeks that he was very excited!

No, it’s quite exciting!

"Publish it all over the world. Do you want my poems to spread all over the world?"

Tucker murmured, even more excited than after winning a big battle.

"From now on, I will be Tucker the poet!"

Seeing him like this, Guan Ning was speechless. It turned out that this guy was still a young man.

The contrast is really quite big.

Tucker was immersed in joy and couldn't extricate himself. He imagined that he would become famous all over the world because of a poem. He even thought of the title of the book, "Send the Emperor Daning to the North Wind".

The name is quite good (very rustic).

It took Tucker a while to return to normal, and when he looked at Guan Ning again, he was even more kind...

"Can you give me something else?"

Guan Ning took the opportunity to put forward conditions.

"You said, as long as I can do it!"

Tucker slapped his chest.

Guan Ning looked around and said, "I want this red clay plain."

"Red plains?"

Tucker was stunned, and then asked doubtfully: "This place is barren of grass and there are no human traces. What do you want to do here?"

"If you want a piece of grassland, I'll find it for you."

Tucker is very generous. Anyway, this southern barbarian will belong to Daning in the future.

"I want these red soils."

"Red soil?"

Tucker was even more confused and asked again: "Could it be that you want to leave a souvenir?"

"Do you know why there is no grass growing on this red clay plain?"

Guan Ning did not hide it, Tucker was one of his own.

"It's because the iron content in this soil is very high. To put it simply, iron can be smelted from this soil."

"Making iron from soil?"

Tucker was shocked and didn't believe it. How could iron be made from soil?

"It's true."

Guan Ning didn't know how to explain it to him, so he said directly: "When the tribe is stable, you can send people to the red soil plain to collect the soil, and then send it to Yunzhou... I will send officials to the royal city to discuss the specific matters."

There is no rush now, Guan Ning just reserves it first. This red clay plain is a treasure land. Iron can really be extracted from the soil, but the process requirements are relatively high...

Guan Ning plans to build a blast furnace to make iron in Yunzhou, or directly in the Kelie tribe.

Daning has a vast territory and rich resources, and there are naturally a lot of iron ore, but due to productivity constraints, mining is very difficult. The red clay plain will be a good source, but it still needs to be verified... This is a story later.

Guan Ning didn't go into details with Tucker, but just made a rough agreement.

"I'll give it to you if you want it."

Tucker didn't bother to ask in such detail. Anyway, Daning was better, so it wouldn't be inferior to the Kled tribe. The relationship between the two parties was too special, and it was more than just an alliance.

After some pleasantries, Guan Ning finally left.

He got on the carriage, which was covered with thick cushions. Although there were bumps during the journey, it did not hurt his body. After all, his body was seriously injured.

However, Guan Ning has a special health, otherwise he would not take such a risk.

He was lightly dressed and simple, except for the three thousand guards and accompanying doctors. No one would have thought that the person riding in this ordinary carriage was Emperor Yuanwu of Daning...

Tucker looked around until the convoy left the sight.

He had a premonition that when Emperor Daning came to the grassland again, all Northern Yi would be conquered by him.

He believes that this time will not last long...

All the way south.

Guan Ning will travel as much as possible as his health allows. The Red Earth Plain is already deep in the southern barbarians and close to the northern barbarians, and is some miles away from the Klei tribe's royal city.

Guan Ning wants to go to the royal city to find Duoyan first, but Duoyan cannot go back yet because he is plotting to seize Beiyi.

This will not be easy, it will be difficult and lonely.

He also wanted to ask Duoyan one last time if he was willing to do this. If he agreed, he might stay with the barbarians for a long time and not be able to return to Daning...

If Duoyan doesn't want to, Guan Ning won't force her.

The war between the southern barbarians and the northern barbarians that lasted for many years is over. This is the largest war between the two sides in the past hundred years. It also resulted in the death of many tribesmen. During the march, one can clearly feel a sense of loneliness.

Many young men died in battle, and many tribes migrated.

Guan Ning knew that because his father had already prepared for the war, he made arrangements in advance to move a large number of Kle tribe members away from the war zone, and arranged for the young and old to arrive in Liaozhou, Daning, so he survived.

Comparatively speaking, Beiyi's casualties were really high, and the number of casualties among soldiers was unknown.

It's definitely not easy to sit in my uncle's seat.

When Guan Ning rushed to the Klei tribe's royal city, Wu Liangmu had also returned to the Beiyi royal court...
