Dugu Jing looked at these two battle reports and felt like a turbulent sea in his heart. After Xie Xun regained Zhongzhou, Sangnan was stable and almost invincible. When the situation becomes more stable, Sangnan will also belong to Beining sooner or later. Xie Xun can achieve great unification and the northern barbarians will surrender. Beining was also a matter of time, and Feng Yu also saw the situation clearly and came to negotiate with Dugu Jing.

The first time they broke up on bad terms, Dugu Jing made it clear that he was absolutely unwilling to surrender. Even if the Northern Barbarians fought until there was only one person left, they would never surrender.

Feng Yu did not try her best to persuade, but just encouraged Dugu Jing to go out more and see the lives of the people. Returning to Beining was the fastest way for him to lead the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

She also knew that Dugu Jing would not surrender easily. If he had to change places, Xie Xun would make the same choice as Dugu Jing and would never surrender. No matter how nice Feng Yu said, he would not give up his homeland.If he gave up, he would have no face to face the soldiers who died in battle and the ancestors of the Dugu family.

But Dugu Jing also knew that after surrender, the people would be able to live a better life than now. Is it worth it?After abandoning their homeland and coming to the land of Beining, can the people of Beining really treat them equally and accept them as local people?Dugu Jing didn't dare to bet. The border war had been fought for so many years, and the hatred was as deep as the sea. It couldn't be changed with a few words or policies.

Feng Yu also knew Dugu Jing's concerns. The impact of the two battle reports on Dugu Jing was indeed stronger than any words. Dugu Jing was seriously thinking about whether to surrender, and Feng Yu also gave him time to think about it.

After mid-September, Sang Nan was defeated. Han Ziqi's vanguard army was almost completely wiped out by the Ningzhou cavalry. Sang Nan's poison formation was broken. Fang Chuning led the Ningzhou cavalry in a victorious pursuit. They chased Sang Nan's army to the Nanliu River and drove him out of Beining. At the border, Sang Nan's army retreated to the Nanliu River and fought from the land to the river.

Water warfare is what the Jiangnan garrison is best at.

Sangnan's water battle was far inferior to that of the garrison in the south of the Yangtze River, and he also had an advantage in the land battle due to the poison formation. As long as the land battle was defeated, Sangnan's defeat was determined. King Sangnan sent someone to contact Xie Jue, hoping to get him After being rejected, King Sangnan submitted a letter of surrender and was willing to negotiate peace with Beining. After discussing with Xie Jue, Marshal Fang agreed to the peace talks. The condition was that Sangnan would be a vassal state of Beining from now on and would forever surrender to Beining. Although he retained They lost their sovereignty, but asked Sangnan to pay tribute to Beining forever, and designated six cities in Sangnan.

King Sangnan and Han Ziqi were willing to surrender and pay tribute, but were unwilling to divide the six cities. Therefore, the navy continued to fight for six days. The Jiangnan navy and Ningzhou cavalry forcibly crossed the Nanliu River. Sangnan saw that the situation was not good and agreed. After negotiating all the conditions for peace, the six cities in Sangnan were assigned to Beining, and they became Beining's vassal state from then on.

At this point, Sangnan was defeated and Jiangnan was stable!

After Jiangnan was stabilized, the troops were divided into two groups. Marshal Fang led the Jiangnan army to clean up the aftermath of the war in Lanzhou. Fang Chuning and Xie Jue led the Ningzhou cavalry north to Jiaozhou, crossed the Beihe River, and besieged Zhongzhou City together with Xie Xun from the north and south.

Zhongzhou City has completely become an isolated city.

The defeat of General Chen and General Gao has been determined. People in Zhongzhou City are panicking. Xie Jue and Xie Xun are about to meet up in Zhongzhou. The entire Beining border has become stable. No one can stop the Ningzhou cavalry offensive.

The unification of Beining is a foregone conclusion.

Dugujing couldn't sleep all night.He had long regretted cooperating with Yu Wenjing. Not only did he not kill Xie Jue and Xie Xun, but he helped them. Xie Xun was like a person favored by the gods in the northern barbarian legend. He was like a helper from the gods along the way. After betraying Kyoto, Changing his fate against fate, he ascended the throne as emperor in three years, and all of Beiman and Sangnan became vassals of Beining.

After Sang Nan surrendered, Xie Xun's next step was to attack the Northern Barbarians.

Xie Xun is definitely not a conservative king. He is the founding emperor. His goal is unification. After the south is unified, his only wish is to unify the north. If the northern barbarians are unwilling to surrender, they will be beaten until they surrender.Beining is now very powerful, which is different from Yanyang in the previous dynasty, and the emperors Xie Xun and Yuwen are also different.

The military power and political power were unified, and Feng Yu also controlled the economic lifeline. If Xie Xun wanted to fight the Northern Barbarians, he only needed two years to recuperate and recuperate. The Northern Barbarians were definitely no match for Beining.

Surrender?
If we don't surrender, how many people will die if war breaks out?

The Northern Barbarians and the Ningzhou Cavalry had been fighting for so many years and were already exhausted. The Northern Barbarians needed a long period of recuperation, and Xie Jue and Xie Xun would never give them a chance to regroup.

Dugu Jing also wanted to follow Xie Jue's example when he alienated the Northern Barbarians and made a difference in Kyoto, but he was different from Xie Jue. Xie Jue's identity was secret and no one knew about it, and he became the strategist of the eldest prince. It was easy to become a prince, but he was a prince imprisoned in an enemy country, and he was being watched by the royal guards.

After Xie Xun's personal expedition, the cabinet composed of young officials such as Lin Heli and Zhang Boju had no way of handling government affairs. The Beining royal family only had Xie Xun, Xie Jue and Ruyi.

Ruyi was still young, and Dugu Jing didn't even bother to do anything to the child, so he couldn't do what Xie Jue could do and could only be trapped in Kyoto. After Feng Yu gave him two battle reports, she often invited him to have tea with him. , although he did not mention the matter of his surrender, the words in the words implicitly told Dugu Jing the benefits of his surrender.

Yes, for the Dugu family, it is naturally of no benefit, but for the common people, it is definitely a benefit.

After the surrender, the current Northern Barbarian King may be granted the title of King of the Other Sex. The Northern Barbarian people dispersed to live in the northern cities and accepted the jurisdiction of Beining. The status of the King of the Different Sex and the king of a country are very different. Whether the King of the Northern Barbarians is willing or not is the same. Dugu Jing was unwilling to accept the matter.

Feng Yu said, "Nine Princes, I have seen the war between the Northern Barbarians and the Ningzhou Cavalry. The Northern Barbarians were almost all instigated. We have never taken the initiative to attack the Northern Barbarians. If the Northern Barbarians had not been harassing our border for hundreds of years, Ningzhou would have The cavalry would not have become what it is today, nor would Chen Bing and Ningzhou have become a line of defense. Xie Xun was born in Ningzhou cavalry. Defeating the Northern Barbarians and regaining the Northern Barbarians was his lifelong wish. It was more urgent and stronger than ascending the throne as emperor. , that has been the wish of Xie's ancestors for generations, and he will definitely inherit the mantle of his ancestors. After the prince returns to the country, why not advise his brother Wang, if you sincerely surrender, you can put forward any conditions you want, and both parties have room for negotiation. , once the Ningzhou cavalry sends troops to talk, the conditions will be different. I know Xie Xun, he will definitely achieve great unification. Now that we have reached this point, we don’t need to start another war. Things can be solved without spending a single soldier. No one wants to start a war."

"Feng Yu, give up, you can't convince me." Dugu Jing still insisted on his own opinion, "If one day, the Northern Barbarian soldiers and horses rush through Ningzhou, I will also give Xie Xun a choice to surrender. He will die defending the country. , or leave the city and surrender?"
