When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

New Year's Day passed a few days ago.

Before Xinqu could calm down, the battle report from the west came.

In the letter, he briefly explained the battle situation and results, and then Xin Qu frowned.

He had a feeling that Bing Jia had posed a huge problem for him this time.

Although it is very satisfying to win the Yunzhong region, the problem is that the logistics line will most likely not be able to handle it.

The Yunzhong area must be given up.

But the question is, to whom?

Not all tribes with the surname Hu will move westward.

And if the Zhenxi General's Mansion is moved there, what will happen in Datong?
You know, at this stage, there is not only Tufang in the south of Datong, but also a neutral faction that is difficult to deal with.

Xing Tianshi.

The Xingtian clan makes a living as a half-farmer and half-herder, and is a subordinate tribe of Qiongfang. Although there are faint signs of separation and expansion recently, it is still not forceful and fierce enough.

In other words, if he insists on expanding westward, his heart will not be at peace unless the Xingtian clan hiding in the Ningwu area is solved.

"It seems that Qingxian can't hold on anymore, and he has to go there himself."

Xinqu muttered a few words, and finally ordered the imperial army to prepare, bring a battalion of chariots, horses and infantry, and then set off quickly.

Fifteen days later, Xinqu finally arrived at Chengleyi when the sun rose in the late first lunar month.

At the same time, Ice Armor also returned from the front line.

Although spring has not yet completely begun, the tribes of the ghost side are obviously frightened.

They didn't expect that the Yan Kingdom, which had always seemed to show little ferocity, suddenly exploded and pushed three hundred miles away. They were so scared that they were trembling now.

For fear that Yanfang would continue to push westward.

Because of this loss, the tribes of the Wei surname also aroused covetousness and resistance from other tribes. The Wei surname had no way to counterattack the Yan State for the time being, so when Xin Qu first arrived in Datong.

The envoys sent by the princes of the Western Region and the actual leader of the Gui Fang, the Ghost King Gui Shen, happened to arrive in Datong.

Xinqu immediately detained the man and the woman he sent, and then brought them directly to Cheng Leyi.

As for the seven princes who were captured by the ice armor on the ghost side, they were also pulled together on chariots and horses.

However, their family members continued to be transported eastward and were taken directly to Changping's Tiangao.

Therefore, as soon as Xinqu appeared in Chengle, he saw many familiar and unfamiliar people.

For example, the Xingtian clan sent someone here.

He also knew the leader of Chi Jie, Jiang Lan.

But this time, behind Jiang Lan, someone was holding a flag for him, and the flag hanging above was - Julong Family.

Obviously, his family has turned over.

"I actually bothered you to come in person."

When Bing Jia met Xin Qu, his first words were somewhat helpless.

Xinqu glanced at him, then looked at the cavalryman holding the reins behind him and said, "If I don't come, the west side may become Yanfang's corrupt land. You kid, you almost broke the sky for me."

"Who would have thought that they would be so careless." Bing Jia disdained.

"Your weapons, tactics, and logistics are all more than one level above the opponent's. If you can't defeat him, then don't become a general."

Xinqu said angrily, "I want you to hold back, focus on harassing and kiting, and retreat if it hurts the opponent. There is no need to kill him."

This time it's better. The stance that Guifang has just emerged has been sent away by you. There is a high probability that the Tongue Fang and Wei surnamed Guifang tribes in the southern part of Guifang will make a comeback.

When the west becomes turbulent, the trade economy will suffer setbacks. I still expect the west to provide me with cheap slaves and livestock...

Alas, I still have to worry about shuffling the cards and rebalancing the situation in the West, and there is no one left. "

Xinqu just complained a few words. What he originally envisioned was for the ghost tribes to fight a low-intensity war with General Zhenxi's Mansion to achieve strategic deterrence.

As long as the ghost side knows that the Yan State is not easy to mess with, and then both sides call it quits, temporarily until the Yan State completely controls Datong and has a base for western expansion, the intensity of the war will gradually increase.

In the end, the whole family was exterminated.

As long as the peace between the two parties is properly controlled and maintained for ten years, there will be absolutely no problem.

You can also train troops along the way. After all, there are not many places that can be used as battlefields.

The northeast is too cold, and the south is either the Shang Dynasty or the Tufang Dynasty. There is not much conflict between the two sides, and there is no need to fight for the time being, so trade is still the main focus.

Only there is a ghost with evil intentions left in the west who can use his strength to make Zhu Ao feel uneasy and make Zhu Ao want to hug Yan Guo's thigh more and more.

In this way, Zhu Ao can arrange whatever he wants, and the other party will also give in a lot of benefits.

Bingjia couldn't hold back his strength this time, it was a deadly move, and he was somewhat filled with hatred.

Zeyu's injury was probably one of the reasons for Bing Jia's anger.

Bing Jia was happy, but the wave of blows shook the west side. If it was not handled properly, Xinqu would not even dare to think about whether Guifang would give up hatred with Yanfang, whether Xingtian would hook up with Guifang, or whether Guifang would hook up with Guifang. Will some elders from various tribes who oppose being annexed by Yan take the opportunity to stir up emotions?

These are difficult to cover up.

Because you are strong.

Strong tribes are naturally feared. Everyone is worried about being swallowed by you. Just because you make up like a little white rabbit, you are harmless to humans and animals.

Therefore, the task before Xin Qu now is how to get rid of all the land he does not need and at the same time sort out the balance of power in the Yunzhong region.

"Okay, let's summon all the tribes, including people from the Xingtian clan."

The cold light in Xin Qu's eyes flickered twice, and then he continued: "To give you a heads up, General Zhenxi will have direct jurisdiction over the Datong Basin for the time being. This policy will not change for at least ten years.

In other places, I will give out whatever can be divided, and I will never be lenient. "

Bingjia nodded slightly when he heard this: "I know what you are thinking. Datong is indeed one of the best farming places in the north. Now it is half farming and half pastoral, which is what you want to see."

"It's good to know." Xin Qu nodded slightly, and then went directly to the big tent to wait for the arrival of all forces.

About half an hour.

The Xingtian Clan, the Zhu'an Clan, the Goulong Clan, the Ghost King Ambassador, and more than thirty forces, large and small, gathered together.

Armored soldiers were lined up on both sides, holding golden melons in their hands. They looked very majestic and added a bit of chill.

Xinqu, on the other hand, was not wearing armor and was only wearing a fox fur coat. Although it was already the first month of the year, it was not the vernal equinox yet, so the temperature was still cold in the morning and evening.

Without the fox fur, it would be extremely cold.

"See Uncle Bei."

Everyone saluted, and Xin Qu said with a smile: "Everyone is exempt from the courtesy."

After they thanked him, they stood.

Because there were too many people, there was no room for them to sit.

"Now that everyone is here, let me get down to business. First, the Guifang princes, I have pinched seven in my hand, six are adults, and one is about to become an adult.

Messenger of the Ghost King, I am not satisfied with the ransom you mentioned last time. If I want the land, I will use the entire Yunzhong back as a ransom. If you agree, I will only keep the smallest one as a hostage, and I will put the remaining six back for you.

Of course, as long as you say yes.

The trade alliance under the jurisdiction of the Zhenxi General Mansion allows you ghosts to trade normally and enjoy the same trade treatment as other trade alliance tribes. How about it? "

After Xin Qu finished speaking, the Ghost King's messenger, who was originally prepared to object, immediately fell into deep thought.

The land has been actually controlled by the Yan State. Even if they want to take it back, they will have to face the Yan State army.

But only a nominal compensation and ransom for ceding land can be exchanged for six princes, which is more important than anything else. (End of chapter)
