Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Calm Before the Rainstorm

Yan Huang was very efficient, the day after the deal was concluded, Shang Ji received 20,000 purple gold coins and the task scroll of [Qin Kai but Hu], and at the same time, Shang Ji also gave the heart of the town to Yan Huang, and at the same time ordered Deng Yan of Heishui to allocate 2,000 war horses and hand them over to the Eagle King of Liaodong, as for how they will transport and distribute them, it is not under Shang Ji's control.

Then the days of the steppe entered a phase of relative calm.

The Nado clan is still busy digesting and absorbing the gains of the first battle of the coltan clan, after all, the expansion of the snake swallowing elephant is not so easy, and the army and herdsmen of the coltan clan need time to truly transform into the strength of the Nado clan.

Shang Ji was not idle, took out the black armor Xuanqi suit created in the black water plug, selected elite light cavalry and distributed it, and transferred more than 100 black-armored Xuanqi again, and the total number of black-armored Xuanqi exceeded 600! If it weren't for the lack of equipment that limited the expansion of the army, Shang Ji would have been able to arm thousands of black-armored Xuanqi in no time.

However, the six hundred Black Armor Xuanqi can already be called a strategic force in this area.

In the name of the Nado clan, Shang Ji led the black armor Xuan cavalry and five hundred dragon archers, extorted and threatened small tribes everywhere, and demanded property and war horses.

Because there are not many wants, as few as dozens of horses, as many as one or two hundred, these small tribes did not dare to resist because of the great achievements of the Nado clan in the first battle to destroy the coltan clan, and they obediently offered their filial piety, but the hatred of the Nado clan was added.

In this regard, Nadorand does not mind, Xianbei people believe in "convincing people with strength", and it is reasonable to have a big fist. When the strength is strong, those small tribes must endure the oppression, and if the strength is weak, they are the objects of oppression, which is the unchanging truth on the grassland.

In addition, Shang Ji is also very good, and every time he comes back from looting, he will share Nadorand's share, so of course Nadorand is not willing to object.

He even helped to make Shang Ji offend more Xianbei tribes, so that if Shang Ji wanted to gain a foothold in the grassland, he had to hug Nado's thighs, which was more conducive to Nadoland's control of Shangji.

In this way, the Nado clan tried his best to digest and absorb the results of the battle, and Shang Ji led the army to rob the small tribe when he had nothing to do, and even eliminated a small Yiluo who was unwilling to offer filial piety.

This Yiluo is very small, inferior to the earliest Nado clan, there are less than 1,000 warriors in the entire Yiluo, and 600 black armor Xuanqi can destroy it with a single charge, and there is no need for Shang Ji to make a move during the period. Yang Cheng and Gao Xiang, who were promoted to third-rate generals with the Strong Bone Pill, couldn't wait to test their skills and completely eliminate them.

The harvest of this battle was far worse than the first battle of the Columbate clan, and it brought nearly 10,000 meritorious deeds, hundreds of middle and low-level war horses, and thousands of cattle and sheep. also scored a part of the Nado's, and the harvest was not very rich.

But the consequences of this war were more serious.

In any case, Xianbei is still a unified tribal alliance, and although there are fights between them, they also have their own set of rules. In the past, there was a grudge between the Nado clan and the Boko clan and even the coltan clan, and in the context of the prevalence of Xianbei revanchism, it is reasonable to attack each other.

But this time, Shang Ji directly wished to completely wipe out a Xianbei Yiluo for no reason, which shook a lot in the Jiegu Department. Many Xiaoyi people are in danger and join forces to complain to Xiaoshuai Chenglu about Nado's atrocities.

Previously, in order to beat the ambitious coltan clan, Chenglu deliberately encouraged and helped the Nado clan to fight with the coltan clan, but he didn't expect the Nado clan to be open, and wiped out the coltan clan in one battle, directly completing the expansion like a snake swallowing elephants, and became the top big city in the Jiegu department in one fell swoop.

To be honest, this exaggerated combat power frightened Cheng Li. On the third day after the war, after repeated confirmations, Chenglu finally believed in this result.

In this way, Chenglu is very embarrassed. I originally wanted to engage in a technique of checks and balances to balance the strength of various departments, but I didn't expect to make a big trouble at once.

Chenglu immediately began to turn around and suppress and squeeze out Nado's, and first demanded that Nado's pay back!

In order to prepare for the war, the Nado clan owed a large amount of money to Chenglu, and originally planned to control the Nado clan by economic means. As a result, after the First World War, the situation changed dramatically, and Nadorand reaped a lot of money, but never mentioned the matter of paying back.

Obviously, this money Nadorand is not going to pay it back. Nadorand was also angry in his heart about bribing most of his life savings into the law before, in the past, Nado's strength was low, so he could only swallow his anger, but now that Nado's has capital, he immediately began to find ways to retaliate.

The matter of Shang Ji's destruction of that small town became a small handle, and it was written in the hands of Cheng Lu, demanding that the Nado clan apologize, make compensation, and promise that nothing like this would happen again in the future.

Nadorand was not easy to get along with, and immediately brought the power of the coltan clan to destroy the power of the coltan clan in a war, and joined forces with several large towns, saying that Chenglu could not adjust the contradictions between the ministries, and he would lose his responsibilities as a small marshal, and asked to abdicate and make way for Xian, and choose another small marshal!

For a time, all the ministries joined forces vertically and horizontally, and the envoys flew all over the sky, which made Shang Ji watch a lively show!

In order not to be discredited, Nadorand also signaled Shang Ji to suspend the conquest and extortion of small tribes first, and wait for the final results to come out.

After repeated battles, the Black Armor Army also needed to be rectified, and the generals from all walks of life also needed to precipitate the soaring strength, so Shang Ji also took advantage of the situation to agree to Nadoland's request, stop the expedition, and concentrate on rectifying and training the army.

Because the expansion of the barracks and blacksmith workshop in Heishui Saizhong was completed one after another, the expansion capacity of the merchant army was greatly enhanced.

Coupled with more than a month of extortion, abundant funds ensured the smooth expansion of Shangji, and the army under Shangji's command grew greatly.

At present, the number of Black Armor Xuanqi has officially exceeded four figures, reaching 1,000! The Youlong Archers led by Su Huan have also expanded to 1,000 people, plus 1,000 ordinary light cavalry, and the army of Shang Ji in the Nado clan has reached 3,000!

Because the Nadoland clan has successively digested the legacy of the coltan clan, its strength has improved greatly, and there are nearly 20,000 warriors in total, which is also the biggest reliance on Nadoland's daring to argue with Chenglu!

There are more than 30,000 soldiers in the Chenglu headquarters, which is the biggest capital he can be a little marshal. At present, there are nearly 20,000 soldiers in the headquarters of the Nado clan, plus the 3,000 black armor troops of the Shang Dynasty, although the strength is still not as good as that of the Jiegu clan, it is not without qualifications.

Of course, the three thousand black armor army is only a part of the exposed grassland, and there is still a part of the strength of the Shang Ji Black Water Plug.

After careful consideration, Shang Ji finally handed over the training secrets of the giant axe soldiers to Zhao Shen, and handed over the Beidi strong crossbow to Gao Xiang.

The giant axe soldiers have strong attack power but weak defense, Zhao Shen has the characteristics of being the first, he does not surrender and escape, and the probability of his subordinates escaping and surrendering is greatly reduced, which is very suitable for leading the giant axe soldiers who attack the strong and defend the weak.

In addition, the strong crossbow in the north has no other requirements, and it is left to Gao Xiang only because his strength is relatively strong, and his credit is not small, which can be regarded as a reward for him.

During this month, Shang Ji secretly sent two people to return to Heishui Sai in turn to build their own exclusive special troops. At present, there are 1,000 and 5 heavy armor sword soldiers in the Black Water Plug, 500 strong crossbows in the Northland, 1,000 giant axe soldiers, and 500 dragon bow riders, which can also be called a strong soldier and a strong horse!
