The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 569 Recuperation
With the death of the emperor, the situation in the world began to undergo subtle changes.The rebellion that had been quelled in Central China began to stir up again. Officials loyal to the royal family all over the country either abandoned their posts or rebelled against them, but they were quickly suppressed by Cao Jun.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, Cao Ziyan wantonly suppressed the faction loyal to the emperor, and at the same time rewarded the local forces who chose to rely on him.With the implementation of his series of measures, the Central Plains, which was originally in chaos, quickly calmed down.

Today, all forces have unanimously suspended their foreign wars and chose to recuperate.In Hengshan, as Huazhou gradually stabilized, when the new Mingzhou would integrate into Hengshan has become a topic of concern to everyone.Different from the territory acquired by war, Mingzhou was voluntarily attached to it, so it could not take strong measures to integrate it. It could only gradually remove the local control of Mingzhou forces.

And Cao Ziyan is also stepping up to stabilize the rule of Yanzhou. As long as Yanzhou is in hand, he can threaten the flanks of Mingzhou.What's more, Yanzhou is originally a rich land. Although it has been through several wars, the foundation is still there. It only takes a few years to restore the prosperity of the past.With Yanzhou, the strength of the Cao family will be greatly improved, and they will be able to compete with Hengshan.

As for Donghu, after looting millions of people in Yanzhou, they moved to various places. According to Fan Qi's suggestion, the people in the Central Plains were mainly responsible for farming and manufacturing, and provided a steady stream of food and grass materials for the empire.The Donghu people are mainly responsible for fighting and guarding the huge grassland.Yes, with the growing strength of Hengshan in the south, the Donghu people were no longer able to go south to plunder. Instead, on the grassland, Hengshan and Golden Werewolf cavalry appeared from time to time, burning, killing and looting everywhere.Today's Donghu can only be forced to take defensive measures to prevent the Hengshan Army from invading.

At the same time, Tianyun Kingdom did not take any action, and there was no sign of using troops in the whole country.This surprised the secret spies of various forces, and sent letters back one after another, reporting Tianyun's situation one by one.

Regarding these, Hengshan can't take care of them for the time being.According to the report from the Western Regions, the negotiations between Hengshan and the Western countries have reached results.

The two sides agreed that, as the defeated countries, the two countries must compensate Hengshan for the losses suffered in this war, a total of 3000 million taels.These losses include the casualties and pensions of the soldiers, the consumption of money, food and materials for soldiers, the price paid by Hengshan for this battle, and so on.In this regard, the two countries knew that they were wrong, so naturally they did not dare to bargain in this regard, so they had to bite the bullet and agree.Fortunately, the payment was shared between the two countries, so they were able to accept Hengshan's conditions.

And the 40 prisoners of war captured were not so simply handed back to them.According to one tael of silver for an ordinary soldier, if the rank is one level higher, if it is multiplied by ten times, a total of one million taels can be obtained.In addition, all the captives who were handed over were returned empty-handed, and the armor, materials, war horses, etc. left behind were all owned by Hengshan, and were worth tens of millions of taels.

After agreeing on compensation and the return of the captives, the two sides can start business negotiations.The envoys of the two countries were very interested in Hengshan's proposal to connect the East and the West.After all, the opening of the commercial road is a good thing for both countries. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.The only thing to consider is whether the dominance of the two countries in the East-West trade will be weakened after the opening of this commercial route.

In this regard, the Hengshan emissary took out various policies proposed by Hengshan and negotiated with them, striving to achieve a satisfactory result for both parties.This negotiation cannot be decided in a short while. After the envoys of the two countries finalized a rough result with Hengshan, they returned to the country with the first draft of the agreement and handed it over to their respective monarchs to decide.

After reading the information, Lin Yifan was quite satisfied. In order to deal with the war in the Western Regions this time, Hengshan spent tens of millions of manpower and material resources, and what he got now can only barely offset his own losses.At present, the greatest expectation for the Western Regions lies in the opening of trade routes, as long as the two countries can agree.The steady stream of wealth in the west will enrich Hengshan's pockets, and only then will he have enough confidence to expand his strength.

Although the negotiations went smoothly, they were not without hidden worries.The Western countries have suffered such a blow. It is hard to guarantee that they will not agree to negotiate on the surface, but they are secretly dispatching troops to commit another crime in the Western Regions.It's a pity that Hengshan's secret spies can't expand to the west, and they can't detect the movements of the two countries at all.

At the same time, the determination of the Xijin werewolf also gave Lin Yifan a headache.The Western Regions are too big, and the Western Gold werewolves were broken into pieces, wandering on the vast grasslands.The Hengshan Army simply couldn't quickly defeat their main force and severely damage their strength.On the other hand, the Golden Werewolf could lead a group of scattered troops southward to sweep the countries, no matter whether they succeeded or not, they would retreat with one blow.By the time Hengshan's reinforcements arrived, the enemy had already disappeared.

According to Hou Mingfeng's report, the countries in the Western Regions were suffering terribly from the sneak attack of the Western Gold Werewolf, and they had already complained about Hengshan.If the Xijin werewolf is not put down as soon as possible, I am afraid that the countries of the Western Regions will turn to the Xijin werewolf again.

At this moment, Niu Dali walked into the study and handed over a letter, "My lord, a letter from Xiazhou."

Lin Yifan frowned slightly, Xiazhou?What happened there again?

After receiving the letter and looking at it, Lin Yifan couldn't help being overjoyed.Previously, because of the Eastern Hu people's expedition to the West, Jinlang Khan Hubri had to follow Hengshan's suggestion to move [-] tribes, old and weak, to Xiazhou for temporary residence.Now that Donghu is retreating, he wants to move these tribes into the grassland again.

Han Song didn't feel too embarrassed about this. After all, the North really needed the Golden Werewolf to help guard against Donghu.But the Golden Wolf tribe, who had lived in Xiazhou for more than half a year, was unwilling to leave at this time.During his temporary stay in Xiazhou, due to lack of manpower, Han Song had to recruit a large number of these golden werewolves to do things.During the working period, Hengshan paid enough wages and lavish meals.Where did the Golden Wolf tribe enjoy such a good life? After working for half a year, the money they earn is enough for their family's daily needs. It is far better than living in the wind and sleeping on the grassland, and facing the Donghu people's plunder. So much so that they began to yearn for the prosperous life in Xiazhou.

When Kubri issued the Khan's order ordering them to move north immediately, many people began to hesitate.It is to stay here to continue to work and earn money, and finally settled in Hengshan.Still following King Khan, lingering on the grassland.This problem caused the Golden Wolf tribe to suffer very much, they did not want to give up the life in front of them.

The mentality of the crowd soon spread to Han Song and Hubri's ears. The former was stunned and surprised.The latter was terrified and furious, already appearing flustered.

While urging Han Song to move his troops to the grassland as soon as possible, Kubri issued dozens of King Khan's decrees in succession, ordering them to return immediately.

This is the reason why Han Song sent a letter to Lin Yifan urgently.The fate of the one hundred thousand golden wolves is in his mind.
