In the next period of time, the envoys from both sides of Beishan and Shuoquan came and went very frequently. If there hadn't been a war just happened, people would mistakenly think that the two sides are friendly and harmonious like brothers.

In March of Yangchun, the winter in the Northwest has passed, but the weather is still a bit cold.

After the beginning of spring, the two sides finally reached a final consensus on the peace agreement. Beishan ceded the three counties of Danyang, Gaoling, and Yanta to Xiguan, and paid [-] shi of grain in addition.

Although Chu Huan also wanted to get more food from Beishan, Luo Dingxi really wanted to use this opportunity to give Chu Huan some support in the name of compensation, so that he could fight Zhu Lingyue with all his might, but Luo Dingxi After all, Dingxi was not taken advantage of. In the name of Xiao Huanzhang, it was quite good to be able to provide [-] shi of grain. After struggling for a long time, he finally added [-] shi and never added another grain.

Although Luo Dingxi couldn't fully understand Chu Huan's thoughts, he also knew very well that Beishan made such a big sacrifice. Unless Chu Huan was determined to continue fighting, otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for him to return to Chu Huan under such favorable conditions. It is necessary to fight against each other, and although Beishan has hoarded a lot of food, it was not brought by the flood after all. It is impossible for Luo Dingxi to open up Beishan's resources and send them to Chu Huan. His purpose is to give Chu Huan certainty. The support of Xiguan and Tianshan made both Xiguan and Tianshan lose. They didn't really want to make Chu Huan stronger, but also at the cost of hollowing out Beishan.

Xiguan proposed to compensate at least [-] shi of grain, but Luo Dingxi refused. The envoys of the two sides negotiated and finally reached a final agreement with [-] shi of grain.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Beishan sent [-] shi of grain first, and this batch of grain was sent directly to Qingtang City. After the grain arrived, Qingtang City would only leave a small number of garrisons. At the same time, when the Xiguan Army retreats, the Beishan Army will only leave a small garrison in Danyang, and the main force will retreat.

After the two sides withdraw their troops according to the agreement, the remaining [-] shi of grain will be delivered to Xiguan.

As far as the garrison of the three counties ceded by Ruo Qingzhou, Luo Dingxi originally proposed to withdraw the army within two months and hand it over to the Xiguan Army. All evacuated within a month, Xiguan will dispatch a small number of garrisons to receive them, and at the same time send officials to the three counties.

Due to Chu Huan's firm attitude, Luo Dingxi finally agreed, but of course he would not leave any supplies for Chu Huan in the ceded land, and ordered the soldiers and horses of the three counties to withdraw. The large and wealthy households in the county must also move to the rear.

Although the two parties reached an agreement, these agreements naturally cannot be announced to the public in writing. The reason is very simple. Both Chu Huan and Luo Dingxi are still officials of the Great Qin in name, and they have not raised their flags to stand on their own. Beishan Road is still nominally the territory of the Great Qin Empire. Luo Dingxi ceded the land, and Chu Huan accepted the land. From a legal point of view, it is already equivalent to supporting the army to stand on its own and rebelling against each other.

Some things can be done, but can't be said.

Chu Huan and Luo Dingxi naturally understand this truth, so in name, on the day the two sides reached a peace agreement, the two envoys announced at the same time that the two sides met each other because of a misunderstanding before, and after investigation, the murderer who killed the villagers of Beishan It was not Xiguan soldiers, but bandits in disguise. After friendly negotiations, the two sides turned hostility into friendship.

At the same time, because of the rampant thieves in Beishan, Governor Beishan implored Xiguandao to send troops to help quell the chaos, and handed over the quelling of the chaos in the three counties to Xiguandao for assistance.

In order to express friendship to Xiguan Road, and at the same time thank Xiguan soldiers for sending troops to suppress the bandits, the friendship of the landlords must be fulfilled, and it is only natural to provide some military rations and horses.

Xiguan Road has gained benefits, and it has not harmed the people at all, so it is naturally used for jokes, but the people of Beishan are somewhat complaining, especially the wealthy businessmen in the three counties, who used to be domineering in the local area, but a piece of paper came down , but they have to be forced to migrate to the native land, which is really a big loss to them.

Officials Fu Jia moved away in large numbers, leaving dilapidated jars and throwing them to the Xiguan people to deal with the aftermath. Chu Huan had to discuss with Gongsun Chu urgently, and selected officials to go to the three counties immediately. Before leaving, Chu Huan repeatedly emphasized to the officials sent, When you arrive at the local area, the first priority is to stabilize the hearts of the people, so that the common people will not feel disgusted by the personnel changes of the officials.

For this reason, Chu Huan specially formulated thirteen laws and regulations to strictly regulate the behavior of Xiguan soldiers and officials in the three counties of Beishan. Chu Huan also knew that it would not be easy to digest these three counties, and it would not be completed in a short time. In addition to the selection and dispatch of a group of capable officials, it has also been repeatedly mentioned that the folk customs in the northwest are violent, and the officials from Xiguan who go to Beishan will inevitably arouse resistance from the people. If they want to digest the three counties, the most important thing is to let the people of the three counties form A sense of belonging.

Chu Huan is well aware that it is not an easy matter for the common people to have a sense of belonging, but it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine. The people of the Li people want the weather to be smooth, peaceful and peaceful, and they can eat enough and keep warm. Chu Huan is not a fairy Naturally, there is no guarantee that the weather will be smooth, but it is hoped that the people of the three counties will have a sense of belonging through eating and clothing.

Among the officials selected by Chu Huan and Gongsun Chu, some of them followed Gongsun Chu to implement the Land Equalization Order in Xiguan. Let the rich and powerful families of the three counties relocate wantonly, but he didn't know that Chu Huan had this in mind. He knew that once the land equalization order was implemented in the three counties, the poor people would be happy and encouraged. Among the decrees, the land equalization decree can win the favor of the people. Once it is implemented and the people get real benefits, they will inevitably have a sense of belonging to the Xiguan decree.

Originally, Chu Huan was worried that the implementation of the land equalization order in the three counties would inevitably cause the local wealthy families to rebel and even go to war because of it. The many large households in the county made it easier for Chu Huan to implement the land equalization order in the three counties.

The influential wealthy families in the three counties moved away. Although a small number of gentry remained, their power was so weak that it was difficult to achieve success.

Both sides are implementing everything according to the agreement. Of course Luo Dingxi does not want to cause more troubles, but Chu Huan also hopes that things can go smoothly. Not long ago, the two sides were fighting to the death on the battlefield, but they cooperated in the specific implementation of the agreement. Very tacit understanding.

After the garrison and officials from Xiguan entered, Chu Huan did not relax his vigilance on the southern front, and the news of Xiao Huanzhang's death was not made public. Of course, Chu Huan did not know that Luo Dingxi had focused his energy on controlling Beishan, and he was wary of Xiao Huanzhang, an old fox. Playing tricks, that's why Xuanyuan Shengcai still stayed in Jiazhou, but he took the lead in dispatching [-] soldiers from Jiazhou to Hezhou on the western front for reinforcements.

At the beginning, the war on the southern front broke out at any time, but Zhu Lingyue did not move. Chu Huan could only focus on the southern front first, and formulated a strategy to block the southern war from the west. Nearly [-] troops were assembled on the Jiazhou side, and the actual number reached With [-] soldiers and horses, now that the battle on the southern front is set, the strategic goal of a quick battle has been achieved, and the two sides have reached an agreement, so naturally there is no need to continue to garrison too many troops in Jiazhou.

On the contrary, the atmosphere on the western front is becoming more and more tense. Chu Huan can only deploy troops from the western front to reinforce Hezhou. Hezhou Pei Ji has only 8000 troops in total, and 500 of them are still under the leadership of Lang Wazi and stationed in Calabash Mountain. Hezhou's actual combat power is only over 6000 people, which is too weak. Chu Huan can only tentatively dispatch [-] soldiers from Jiazhou.

Although the Beishan Army withdrew from Danyang, they obviously had concerns about Xi'an concern. Most of the nearly 3 people were still stationed in Qingzhou. When they knew that Jiazhou had transferred troops to Yuezhou, Beishan also responded immediately, with more penmanship than Chu Huan Large, from the nearly 3 horses, 1 horses were directly transferred to the Beishan Xinzhou Yutian defense line in an emergency.

Chu Huan was worried about Zhu Lingyue's offensive on the western front. Although Luo Dingxi believed that Zhu Lingyue would definitely attack Chu Huan first, the situation in the war was changing. I can't guarantee it, maybe Zhu Lingyue may attack Beishan from the west line first, and Beishan has set up a defense line in Yutian County. Compared with the 6000 people stationed in Hezhou in Xiguan, they are far inferior in terms of combat experience and quality, so for Beishan, the pressure on the western front is also very serious.

Now that the Xiguan and Xiguan troops are suspended, Chu Huan is the first to transfer the army away. Luo Dingxi is naturally relieved, and immediately sends more troops to Yutian to strengthen the defense line on the western front. He wants to let Chu Huan and Zhu Lingyue fight to the death. Before that Naturally, it is important to keep Beishan first, and Chu Huan dispatched troops to leave, obviously pointing the finger at Zhu Lingyue, so Beishan's current strategy is naturally to do everything possible to hold the west line of defense.

In the next month, the two sides began to carry out this kind of game-like troop transfer operation. 3000 people were transferred here, 1 people were transferred there, 2000 people were transferred here, and 5000 people were transferred there. People, when there are only 1 soldiers and horses left on the southern line, the Beishan Army only left 2 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou. Chu Huan transferred [-] troops to reinforce Hezhou, and Luo Dingxi moved closer to [-] Thousands of people entered Xinzhou.

Xuanyuan Shengcai finally led only 500 soldiers to guard Jiazhou, 3000 of whom were stationed in Qingtang County, and the other [-] were stationed in the three counties of Qingzhou.

On the one hand, Chu Huan paid attention to the implementation of the agreement with Beishan, but on the other hand, he closely followed the news of Zhu Lingyue on the western front, and the situation on the western front was indeed not optimistic.

Although it was a quick solution to the dilemma of the southern front and prevented Xiguan from falling into a two-front battle, the situation in the northwest changed and the wolf of Beishan was stabilized. Zhu Lingyue had an extra tiger-like Northwest Army as an ally. The current situation is much more severe than the two-line attack from Tianshan and Beishan.

Compared with the Beishan Army, the nearly [-] Northwest Army under Gan Hou's command is of course more fierce and terrifying.

Pei Ji sent people to report one after another. Although Zhu Lingyue's soldiers and horses did not pass through the border, they had already gathered troops and horses and supplies to the junction of the two roads. Everyone knew that after the Tianshan Army and the Northwest Army joined forces, they would definitely take action. Zhu Lingyue seems to be rich and powerful now. He has an absolute advantage in both the number of soldiers and horses, as well as money, food and equipment. Therefore, he did not hide the deployment of troops to the border, but seemed to put pressure on Xiguan in this way.
