Li Jing has always been known for his calmness. The more dangerous the situation is on the battlefield, the calmer he is. Because Li Jing, who has been studying military art since childhood, knows very clearly that people without a calm mind on the battlefield will always die the fastest.

This habit that he developed since childhood has penetrated into Li Jing's bone marrow, making him claim to be a collapse of Mount Tai before his face. However, today's calmness has been broken and was angered by Yan Fei.

If a small official like a record officer who dares to threaten him, Li Jing has long implemented military law. But it is not possible at the moment, because as Yan Fei said, only Yan Fei would use the clever eyes that are crucial to this battle. If Yan Fei really strikes, the success rate of this attack will drop by more than half. Li Jing, who has always been calm and likes to calculate, really dare not take this risk.

Feeling helpless, Li Jing was angry but helpless, so he could only leave angrily.

Before Li Jing left, he only said one day. For Yan Fei, one day was enough. This was just a cold and fever caused by cold, and it was not a difficult and complicated disease. Yan Fei took out special cold medicines and anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing tablets, considering that people in this era had specifically reduced the amount of drug resistance and gave them to each patient.

These cavalrymen who were selected to participate in this military operation were all strong young and middle-aged people. After taking special medicine, they would definitely recover after taking a day off.

Although Yan Fei himself didn't care about these things, the soldiers in the army were very grateful to him. These Guanzhong men were fighting abroad far away from their hometowns. If it weren't for the time when there was no way, who would have been willing to bury their bones in a foreign land?

Li Jing's decision was not at all military perspective. In order to complete the task, it was not wrong to abandon the wounded and sick people who would drag down the marching in general. After all, they were on the enemy's grassland at this time, and were surrounded by malicious eyes. Once discovered by Turkic herdsmen, it is very likely that the entire operation would fail. Therefore, we must use all our strength to gain time and kill Jie Li's golden tent before the Turks could react.

But for the soldiers, who don’t want to go back alive when fighting outside? Survival is the most instinctive pursuit of all life, and no one will be an exception. So when Yan Fei held Li Jing’s anger and bought a day for the patients, the soldiers’ gratitude for him was truly from the heart.

The next morning, Li Jing, who had been sleeping all night, came to the wounded barracks and saw the sick patients who were sick yesterday and had to walk a few times, had recovered a lot, and even could drink millet porridge with a big mouthful of sea bowls. Li Jing's mind was complicated.

On the one hand, he was still dissatisfied with Yan Fei's disruption of his established plan. If it weren't for the fact that no one could have been able to do so, Li Jing would have called someone to enforce military laws. The most important thing in the army is to violate the orders of superiors, especially during war periods, it would definitely be dealt with directly.

On the other hand, he was shocked that Yan Fei had really cured these patients who were thought to be unable to survive. The secrets on Yan Fei made Li Jing more and more interested.

After a day of delay and giving the tired soldiers a day off, the army that had traveled thousands of miles to the grassland to perform the beheading mission set off again. The order they received was to find Jie Li, either bring a living or a head back to Chang'an City.

In front of this army of pure cavalry, even the largest wolf pack on the grassland would flee far away. All the shepherds encountered along the way were silenced, and there was no possibility of leaking their whereabouts.

The blue sky extends to the end of sight, and the half-human-high weeds cover the rugged earth tightly. There are no wild animals or insects and birds in the grass. There is a pungent smell of blood in the air, and even the rotten vultures dare to hover in the sky and dare not fall down to enjoy their own food.

Yan Fei stopped, squatted down and pushed away the grass and saw a headless corpse plunging to the ground.

From the horse's hoof prints around it, it can be seen that the herdsman was beheaded by a cavalry who was chasing him while fleeing.

The entire area of ​​weeds nearby was trampled by countless horse hooves. When you stand up, you can see dozens of Turkic herders scattered nearby. These are herders from a miniature tribe. Because they are located on the road ahead of the army, they are detected by drones from afar, and a cavalry rushed over and washed away the entire tribe.

The entire tribe left no living, both men, women, and elderly and children fell under the sword of the Tang army. Even the cattle and sheep in the tribe were slaughtered into the Tang army's food. As for the things worth a little money in the tents everywhere, they all entered the Tang army's pockets. All of this was exactly the same as what the nomads on the northern grassland did when they went south to the Central Plains.

Yan Fei waved his hand to drive away the flies attracted by the smell of blood in front of him, and looked over the weeds and looked at the broken felt tents on the edge of a small jade belt-like river not far away.

The Turks are nomadic peoples, and their daily lives are to drive their cattle and sheep to live with water and grass. In order to make their cattle and sheep fat as much as possible before the terrible cold in winter, they will look for good pastures with water and grass to graz. When winter comes, they will hide in the dirty and smelly felt tent to survive the cold winter.

Of course, this is just their daily life. In addition to grazing, these herders would gather under the leadership of the head nobles of their respective tribes, and go to the warm Central Plains in the south to cut grass under the banner of one great khan after another to cut grass on the warm Central Plains land in the south.

The beautiful women with fair skin in the Han people in the south, the exquisitely crafted iron pot furniture, the gold, silver and jade that can blind people, the delicious food, etc. Everything that the Han people have, in the eyes of these herdsmen, is their own pasture grass. Just harvest a batch from time to time.

The Han daughter was captured and disposed of at will, even worse than cattle and sheep. The captured men became slaves, and under the coercion of sharp knives, they did the hardest and most tiring work, eating food that neither pigs nor dogs until they were exhausted.

The accumulation of thousands of years of culture in the Han family was captured on the grassland. The bamboo slips and books that recorded civilization and technology were burned to ashes as materials to attract fire. The advanced farm tools with ingenuity became toys for children on the grassland. The exquisite copper and iron products were melted and made into the most lacking iron pots and arrows on the grassland.

Whenever the Han civilization develops to its peak, there will always be nomadic people from the north who go south to see the Han people as two-legged sheep, turning everything in the Han family into ashes.

Therefore, Yan Fei had no sympathy for the herdsmen's corpses by his feet.

It was already late, and the army that was moving forward here set up camp along the river next to the side, which was probably less than ten meters wide.

The location here is not far from Wuyuan County. As it gets closer to Jie Li's golden tent, more and more herder tribes have been encountered along the way. For those large tribes that are difficult to fully encircle and not let go of a living place. If you can take a detour, you can take a detour. If you can't get around, you can pass through from a distance with the help of the cover of night.

Those small and medium-sized tribes were simply and completely destroyed. Many Turkic tribes have been wiped out along the way, and three small tribes have been killed just today.

Yan Fei's drone played a huge role. Through aerial reconnaissance, he grasped the information rights of the nearby areas in detail. The empty and flat grassland was clearly visible in front of the camera. The local herders didn't know that it was the eyes of the god of death when they heard the movement of the drone. They either ignored it directly or knelt down and worshiped the gods until the iron cavalry of the Tang army came from all directions.

With the unilateral information advantage in the vast nearby areas, this is the biggest reliance for this army to come to this place less than 300 miles away from Wuyuan County.

The soldiers around were busy setting up camps and setting up guard posts. Yan Fei squatted by the river and looked at the small river that was very shallow but extremely clear in front of him.

"I've seen the military officer." He looked like he was in his thirties or forties, but in fact, the yellow-faced man who was only in his twenties respectfully handed a iron spear to Yan Fei.

The yellow-faced man was a gang leader of the front army's whistle cavalry, and his men were in charge of twelve soldiers.

Zhang Shuo, whose hands were thick and thick calluses at the tiger's mouth, became hot in the pouring rain a few days ago. He originally thought that he would not be able to escape this time and was buried in this vast grassland. But no one expected that an inconspicuous record officer first contradicted the general and bought a day off for the patients, and then took out magical medicine to make all the more than 100 patients survive.

From then on, Zhang Shuo regarded Yan Fei as his life-saving benefactor. Not long ago, Zhang Shuo happened to meet Yan Fei walking towards the river while patrolling. When he stepped forward to express his gratitude, Yan Fei asked for an iron spear.

Since the drone discovered a small tribe hundreds of miles away for the first time several days ago and the distance was determined, Li Jing sent a cavalry to really wipe the tribe in the dark. The twenty Qianniu Guards who were originally almost inseparable from Yan Fei no longer pestered him, but guarded him at all times next to the box containing the drone.

These people were wearing helmets and armor, holding Tang swords in hand, surrounded the drone's boxes. Apart from Yan Fei, even Li Jing could not get close. As for who gave them this order, it was Li Shimin without asking.

In Yan Fei's opinion, Li Shimin must have instructed these people that once it is confirmed that the drone really has the effect of clairvoyance, they will have to protect it at all costs. And he believes that these people must have imperial edicts, and once the war situation is critical, they will take it out and ask the soldiers to sacrifice their lives to send the drone back to the Tang Dynasty.

No one followed Yan Fei, and he wanted to drink fish soup. Zhang Shuo happened to come to him and told him to find a iron spear to prepare for fishing.

The river water is not deep, so Yan Fei is probably only halfway up at most. Moreover, the water quality is very clear, and you can even see the bottom of the river directly.

Yan Fei first wiped and cleaned it carefully, and even used alcohol to clean the gun's head. Then he stood by the river and raised the gun with one hand.
