Han Tan, Luo Bing and Jing Ke did not object to Li Xin's proposal. They could not waste too much time in Jincheng.

"Then, let's ask General Luo Bing to continue marching and force all tribes to hold a meeting!" Han Tan said with a smile.

Now is not the time for the Qiang people to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, but what if the Qiang people do not exist and all tribes are threatened by the army?

The Qiang people can only advance the time.

"Brother Jing Ke will be responsible for teaching General Qiang Xian martial arts." Han Tan continued to make arrangements.

"Okay!" Luo Bing and Jing Ke nodded.

The reality was just as Han Tan planned. Driven by the army, the various tribes west of Longxi had to move towards Jincheng.

Under the threat of the army, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, which was originally held every three years in July, had to be started in advance.

They need to choose a brave man to lead the Qiang people and the other peoples around Jincheng.

They didn't doubt Qiang Xian's words. They didn't know much about the Central Plains, but Qiang Xian knew it.

Now what they have to face is actually the main army of a country.

"What should we do?" All the tribes panicked. They didn't know Donghu, Linhu and Loufan, but they knew about Da Yuezhi and Xiongnu.

Qiang Xuan did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He defeated all the Qiang warriors and became the first warrior of the Qiang clan. He was nominally qualified to command all Qiang clan and the tribes around Jincheng.

Once the target becomes oneself, it will be tragic.

"Even if we unite now, compared with the Bingzhou army, we have no chance of winning."

The faces of the clan leaders of each tribe became even uglier. They didn't know how powerful Bingzhou was, but they knew how powerful Qin was.

"They once crossed the grassland, defeated the Xiongnu, Donghu, Dayuezhi, Linhu, and Loufan, and created a shocking reputation of massacre for three thousand miles without leaving any survivors."

"What we have to face is not the Qin army, but the Bingzhou army!" Qiang Xuan, who became the leader of the temporary tribal alliance, told the news that none of the tribes knew.

"Besides, I am very familiar with this army!" Qiang Xian continued.

"Bingzhou and the Qin State are allies. Do you think that if the State of Qin does not have the strength, the State of Qin will be willing to form an alliance with them and not invade each other?"

Even these tribes that they once dared not speak out against were defeated by the other side. What could they use to resist?
"We have no choice. This trip to Bingzhou is to open a passage to the west, which they call the Hexi Corridor."

"If we dare to stand in front of them, then the bloody massacre that took place in Donghu for three thousand miles will also be staged in the Hexi Corridor. There will be no survivors in the land of three thousand miles."

Qiangxuan continued to speak, and the expressions of all the tribal leaders participating in the meeting changed drastically.

The Qin State also drove them away, but even so, the Qin State did not send out the main army, only small county soldiers, and those temporarily recruited soldiers were able to defeat him.

"Tell me, chief, what should we do?" The chiefs of each tribe were also panicked.

Qiang Xing, who was born in the Qin State and was a general of the Qin State, naturally participated in this heaven-sacrifice ceremony.

The bloody massacre of three thousand miles sounds bloody, domineering, fierce, and brave, but that assumes that the one being slaughtered is not you.

"I just said that Bingzhou and Qin are allies. We can either choose to surrender to Bingzhou or surrender to Qin."

"Surrender to Qin!" All the clan leaders spoke directly without any hesitation.

They don't understand Bingzhou. Once they are conquered by Bingzhou, no one knows how Bingzhou will treat them in the future, but they know Qin. There are many of their tribesmen in Longxi, and they live a very good life in Longxi, at least much richer than their current life.

The key is that their number one warrior is the general of Qin.

By taking refuge in the Qin State, they would have something to rely on, at least they would not be sold as cattle and sheep.

"Are you sure that once you surrender to the Qin State, you must abide by the laws of the Qin State, regard the king as your khan, and obey the king's orders." Qiangxuan asked confirmingly.

"Confirm!" No one hesitated.

They had no choice. If they did not submit to the Qin State, Bingzhou would be slaughtered for three thousand miles, and they would all be finished.

By surrendering to the Qin State, perhaps they can become the Rongdi Qiang tribe in Longxi that they once envied.

"Then, please write down the declaration of surrender and sign it. I will immediately report back to Xianyang and set up Jincheng and Wuwei counties here. Then I will take the king's edict to see General Bingzhou and ask him to withdraw his troops." Qiang Xi said pretending to be anxious. With.

"I only have a few days to hold off General Bingzhou. If we are slow and Bingzhou's army launches, even if the king's edict is issued, I don't know how many of the clan leaders will survive."

"Sign, sign, sign, let's sign!" Now no one dared to hesitate.

The Bingzhou army is stationed outside their holy land, and may launch a new round of attack at any time. If they hesitate any longer, if Qiangxi cannot suppress it any longer, their death will be in vain.

Pressing the handprints one by one represents the surrender of the tribes around Jincheng.

Qiang Xian did not lie to them. Han Tan and Luo Bing would not wait too long. Their mission was to open up the Hexi Corridor and connect the Western Regions before Bingzhou ran out of food.

If it is delayed too long, Luo Bing will really stage a bloody massacre of three thousand miles in the Hexi Corridor.

Therefore, after receiving the surrender letter, Qiang Xian handed it over to Li Xin immediately. Due to his status, he was not qualified to summon Xianyang.

Li Xin did not hesitate, and immediately ordered people to rush back to Xianyang.

Ying Zheng was also a little surprised. Yan Yan had just left for less than half a month, and the Jincheng and Wuwei areas actually surrendered and pledged their allegiance to Qin.

"Then the two counties of Wuwei and Jincheng will be established as decided by the emperor!" Ying Zheng had no objection and quickly issued an edict announcing that the two counties of Jincheng and Wuwei would be established six hundred miles west of Longxi.

At the same time, Li Xin's opinions were also listened to, and Qiang Xian was appointed as the highest military officer of the two counties, taking charge of major military affairs in the two counties.

"But this supervisor..." Ying Zheng thought, who is the most suitable?
"The imperial edict is being prepared to order Ren Xiao, the governor of Hanzhong, to serve as the governor of Jincheng and Wuwei counties and to supervise the army of Hexi Province!"

In the end, Ying Zheng thought of one person, Ren Xiao, the prefect of Hanzhong.

This is a capable man, a man of literary and military talents, a hereditary marquis, and absolutely loyal to the Qin Dynasty, so he is the most suitable person.

As for the two counties of Jincheng and Wuwei, because of the name of the Hexi Corridor, a government office, Hexi Road, was set up above the county guards.

From then on, Hexi was no longer the name of the land at the foot of the Taihang Mountains that Qin, Zhao and Wei had fought for for more than a hundred years.

Li Xin and others who received the edict were relieved. In the past few days, Bingzhou was ready to move. Han Tan also came to ask several times. If they could not get the edict again, then Bingzhou would really have to leave.

Qiangxuan returned to Jincheng with the edict, and then made an alliance with the Bingzhou army in front of all the tribal chiefs. In the end, the Bingzhou army withdrew in fear of the tribal chiefs.

For a time, the entire area around Jincheng was singing and dancing, and singing continued.
