Although the Condor Army defeated the Grassland Cavalry Legion of the Heavenly Wind Alliance, when they faced the scattered and fleeing enemy, they still deeply felt the helplessness of the cavalry war.

Although the steppe white horse has excellent explosiveness, when it comes to endurance, the Mongolian horse has not yet beaten anyone.

In addition, the herdsmen are fighting at home and are very familiar with the terrain on the prairie, so the Condor Army chased and found that the enemy in front of them was gone.

In desperation, the condor cavalry could only return to the main battlefield along the same route.

Although the ancients often said that the soldiers were fast and they had to take advantage of the victory to pursue, the main purpose of Ning Yuan's march into the prairie this time was to completely occupy this place, not to retreat after plundering after defeating the enemy, so he did not rush forward, but chose to fight steadily.

Although this will give the enemy time to breathe, whether it is the quality of the soldiers or the weapons and equipment, the Condor Army has an absolute advantage.

So they don't worry that the enemy will catch their breath, because since they can defeat the enemy once, they can defeat it twice, three times,......。

Ning Yuan wants the entire Horqin steppe, and he wants to make the nomads on the grassland completely surrender.

For these peoples on horseback, if you want them to completely surrender, you must beat them and subdue them.

This is not something that can be done through one or two battles, so Ning Yuan is ready to fight a protracted battle with Li Tianqi.

Ning Yuan's first step was to occupy Li Tianqi's old nest, the Horqin Oasis, and then use the Horqin Oasis as the base camp, slowly spreading to the surrounding areas until they occupied the entire Horqin grassland.

It was precisely because of this consideration that after the Condor Army won the victory, Ning Yuan did not order the army to take advantage of the situation to smash Huanglong.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Ning Yuan let the army start to set up camp, and continued to advance early the next morning without delay.

When he learned that a cavalry corps of more than 100,000 people had left the Horqin Oasis and headed west, he was very puzzled, and he couldn't figure out what the enemy was trying to do.

However, if he didn't understand, he didn't understand, now that they were facing the Horqin Oasis that had become empty, they no longer needed to march slowly, so he immediately sent a cavalry to receive the oasis.

When Ning Yuan sent troops to receive the oasis, the cavalry corps led by Bai Yutang and Dybala also came around from the northeast.

Bai Yutang and the others were originally preparing to attack the enemy from behind, and cooperate with Ning Yuan's main army to flank the enemy in front and rear, but they didn't expect the enemy to be so decisive and directly abandon their lair.

Although they failed to block the enemy's large army, they did not gain nothing, and the herdsmen who lived in the Horqin Oasis and had not had time to withdraw were all blocked by them in the oasis.

In the face of the menacing Condor Army, the herdsmen who had no time to flee could only surrender one after another.

After completely occupying the Horqin Oasis, Ning Yuan let the army start repairing, and at the same time sent swan scouts to pay attention to the movements of Li Tianqi's cavalry, he wanted to brake with static to see what the other party wanted to do.

When Ning Yuan found out that Li Tianqi's army had actually entered the northwest region of the Great Xing'an Mountains along the Keshiketeng Banner, he finally realized that the other party had run away.

Although it is always a hidden danger to not be able to completely eliminate the other party, it is still good to be able to take the Horqin Prairie at the lowest cost, so Ning Yuan has no idea of wanting to kill Li Tianqi.

With the natural barrier of the Great Xing'an Mountains, it is not so easy for Li Tianqi to make a comeback, as long as Ning Yuan guards the only passage, it will be difficult for Li Tianqi to fight back.

At this time, Ning Yuan didn't know that Li Tianqi and the others were already preparing to leave Central Asia, if he knew, I am afraid that he would be so happy that he would drive the cattle and sheep to see off the other party in person.

Li Tianqi's initiative to retreat made the process of Ning Yuan's subjugation of the prairie much easier.

However, what Ning Yuan wanted was not a simple conquest, but wanted to completely integrate these grassland tribes into the Condor Empire, which would be a long process.

In order to shorten this process as soon as possible, Ning Yuan transferred a large number of craftsmen and administrators from the native territory of the Condor Empire.

The main reason why nomads are difficult to manage is that they have no fixed residence, so Ning Yuan's first plan is to establish some fixed cities on the Horqin steppe. These cities were then used as bases to administer the nomadic peoples in the vicinity.

Because the resources on the prairie are very limited, the scale of these cities does not need to be too large, and each city can garrison one or two thousand cavalry in peacetime.

These cities can be used by nearby herders to take refuge in times of war, and can be used as regular markets in peacetime to facilitate communication between herders.

The second step in Ningyuan's plan is to assimilate the herders.

There is a serious shortage of various materials in the prairie, and daily life resources such as salt, fruits, and cloth are all luxuries here.

Although the currency had not yet circulated in large quantities within the Condor Empire, Ning Yuan still planned to open some shops on the prairie to sell these daily necessities to the herdsmen.

The circulation of currency is the general trend, and it is not something that Ning Yuan can stop, so he plans to do a pilot here first.

The staff of the Condor Empire will use currency to buy cattle, sheep and furs from the herdsmen, and the herdsmen can use the currency to buy other daily necessities.

In order to raise enough currency, Ning Yuan converted all the income from the last live broadcast into various currencies, and he also planned to convert all the resources such as copper mines, silver mines, and gold in his hands into currency.

In addition to this, he ordered craftsmen to begin to develop special silver bills that were not easy to imitate, so that they could be used to cope with the large transactions after the currency was circulated.

Considering the various inferior nature of the grassland people, if they are not careful, they will become the most vicious robbers, and Ning Yuan decided to implement the strictest management on them.

Ning Yuan stipulated that the young and middle-aged men of each tribe should undergo militarized training once a month, and those who did not show up for no reason would be killed, and all their property would be confiscated.

No one is allowed to go out and plunder without permission without receiving an order, and there is no mercy for those who violate the order.

In the territory of the Condor Empire, no one is allowed to commit adultery, and if the circumstances are serious, there will be no forgiveness, and all property will be confiscated.

These three laws and regulations were specially formulated by Ningyuan for these grassland herdsmen.

For these wild and untamable prairie men, taking those gentle governance methods is simply playing the harp to the cows.

They have become accustomed to a life of unfettered freedom, and no means can make them truly surrender except to completely subdue them.

Although they are all born knights and can be thrown into war at any time, their discipline is extremely poor.
