This time, the seven tribes of Diqiang, Jinle, Heijie, Nanqiang, Wurong, Gao Heng and Dangfan jointly used troops to fight against the Dayan Empire, not to plunder materials and wealth, but to restrain the military power of the Dayan Empire and to prevent the Jinluo Kingdom from being annexed by the Dayan Empire.

These nomadic peoples near the Great Yan Empire were unwilling to see the Great Yan Empire become stronger, so they were moved by Xiahou Ji, the Minister of Rites of the Jinluo State, with his silence.

When the seven tribes learned that the three sieges of the Great Yan Empire had withdrawn from the Jinluo Kingdom, they soon began to retreat. Even the Nan Qiang and Wurong tribes that attacked Gaoping County, Qizhou Prefecture retreated back to the grassland before the three sieges entered Qizhou Prefecture, allowing the Dayan court to prepare to encircle and annihilate the Southern Qiang. The plan of the two sieges to more than 200,000 cavalrymen of the Urong tribes was vain.

Although the seven clans' grassland coalition had retreated, the Great Yan Empire had no financial resources to continue the war against Jinluo, and the fifth attack on Jinluo could only end in this way.

Of course, the war between the Great Yan Empire and the Jinluo Kingdom cannot be considered completely ended, because after the three major troops of Da Yan attacked the troops back to the Lingzhou Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture and Yingzhou Prefecture of the Jinluo Kingdom, the Jinluo Kingdom immediately began to draw troops and launched a counterattack against Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture.

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards under Li Bin was not strong, but the Jin Luo army suffered too much loss in the fierce battle with the three Da Yan lines to attack the army. Some of them had even exceeded 80% of the new recruits in one town.

In addition, the army under Li Bin defended the city from the beginning, which caused the Jin Luo army to counterattack against Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture to fall into a deadlock. After more than two months of fighting, not only did it not capture a city, but it lost nearly 300,000 people.

In a hall in the imperial palace of Jinluo City, the capital of Jinluo Kingdom, Xiahou Zhen, the emperor of Jinluo Kingdom, frowned and asked the left prime minister Liu Hengde: "Can the conditions offered by Yan State be suppressed again?"

The left Prime Minister Liu Hengde said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Yan State's attitude is very firm and unwilling to give in. This is the best clause we can win."

This time, the Great Yan Empire failed again in the last five attacks on Jinluo, but it completely destroyed the Jinluo Kingdom. The imperial court of Jinluo Kingdom was worried that the Great Yan Empire would attack Jinluo six times, so he had no choice but to send envoys, hoping to sign a peaceful alliance with the Great Yan Empire again.

The Dayan court knew that with the current situation of the treasury, Dayan would not be able to attack Jinluo again in a short period of time, so he followed the flow and started negotiations with Jinluo.

At first, the conditions offered by the Dayan court were very harsh, but after a month of verbal battle between the negotiators on both sides, the conditions offered by the Dayan court had been greatly reduced, with only five points left.

The first point is that the Jin Luo Kingdom imitated the Great Wei Empire and formed a brotherly country with the Great Yan Empire, the Great Yan Empire was the brother and the Jin Luo Kingdom was the younger brother.

The second point is that the Jinluo Kingdom abandoned the annexed Dongcong Kingdom and Fujun Kingdom. These two vassal states of the former Dayan Empire will be divided into the Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture and Jingzhou Prefecture of the Dayan Empire.

The third point is that the Jinluo Kingdom ceded Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture to the Dayan Empire.

The fourth point is that the Jinluo Kingdom needs to pay tribute to the Dayan Empire 300,000 taels of gold, 300,000 taels of silver, and 300,000 pieces of silk cloth every year.

The fifth point is that the Great Yan Empire and the Jinluo Kingdom set up trades on the border.

Emperor Xiahou Zhen shook his head and said, "I can agree to Yan State for the other four points, but I will never agree to the ceding of Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture to Yan State for the third point!"

After pausing, Emperor Xiahou Zhen asked Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War: "Is there any good news about the war between Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture?"

Xiahou Cheng, the Minister of War, said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the army under Li Bin has heavy troops stationed in every city in Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture. Up to now, our Jinluo army has not captured any city in Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture, but the imperial guards participating in the siege have suffered heavy losses."

The left Prime Minister Liu Hengde hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, according to the current situation, it is impossible for our Jinluo army to regain Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture in a short period of time. Therefore, I feel that since I can't get it back, it's better to give it up temporarily and sign a peace agreement with Yan State first. When our Jinluo recovers its strength, we will study the recovery of Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture. Anyway, the alliance is just a piece of paper and will eventually be torn."

Emperor Xiahou said unwillingly: "But if Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture are cedeed, the loss will be too great for me, Jin Luo. The population alone will be 15 million. Moreover, I am worried that Guizhou Prefecture will fall into the hands of Yan State, which will cause some turmoil in the Dongzhou Prefecture."

At this time, the right prime minister Fan Junjie sighed and said, "Your Majesty, now I, Jin Luo, both the army and other aspects, need time to recuperate. The most important thing now is to sign a peace alliance with Yan State to avoid Yan State from using troops against Jin Luo again. Once Yan State sends troops again, Jin Luo will be in danger of destruction!"

Emperor Xiahou said sadly: "Can't Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture really be protected?"

Since the Jin Luo Kingdom was not aware of the financial situation of the Great Yan Empire and was worried that the Great Yan Empire would send troops again, on October 18, the 18th year of Jianping, he accepted the last five conditions issued by the Great Yan Empire and signed a peace alliance again.

After the signing of the peace agreement between the two countries, the Jinluo army retreated from the territory of Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture. At this time, the war between the Great Yan Empire and the Jinluo Kingdom officially came to an end.

One month after the Dayan Empire signed a peaceful alliance with the Jinluo Kingdom, Xie Boyan, a member of the Ministry of War, once again led a team to Fuzhen City on behalf of the Dayan court.

In the Grand Governor's Office in Fuzhen City, when Xie Boyan saw Li Bin's first words, he questioned Li Bin: "Wende, are you still willing to be my minister of Dayan?"

Li Bin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Uncle Boyan, what do you mean by this sentence? Of course, I, Li Bin, are the minister of Dayan!"

Xie Boyan stared at Li Bin's eyes and asked, "What if the court summons you back to Yong'an City?"

Li Bin asked calmly: "Uncle Boyan, is it because you came this time to bring the imperial court to call me back to Yong'an City?"

Xie Boyan hesitated for a moment before saying slowly: "I did bring an imperial edict to call you back to the capital, and also an imperial edict to enthrone you as Marquis of Zhennan and the Grand Governor of Zhennan. However, the emperor said that if you are unwilling to receive the first edict, let me burn the second edict directly."

The hereditary titles of the Great Yan Empire are only three levels, namely Duke, Marquis and Earl. The enthronement of Li Bin as Marquis of Zhennan is equivalent to giving Li Bin a hereditary marquis.

Li Bin immediately smiled bitterly, "Uncle Boyan, if I receive the first imperial edict, will I still be able to return to Fuzhen City after returning to Yong'an City?"

Xie Boyan said in a deep voice: "Wen De, now the Jinluo Kingdom has signed a brotherly alliance with my Dayan. The court will not watch you seize the separatist territory of the five prefectures. The court has even made plans. Once you have any disobedience, you will be rewarded with Guizhou Prefecture and join forces with the Jinluo Kingdom to attack you."

Xie Boyan's words made Li Bin's eyes appear with a hint of cold light, but Li Bin's face still had a wry smile, "Uncle Boyan, how are the imperial court going to deal with the millions of troops under my command?"

Xie Boyan explained: "According to the discussion between the emperor and the ministers, it was decided to form an outer guard imperial guard in Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture, and then form ten border guard imperial guards on the borders of the five prefectures. These five outer guard imperial guards and ten inner guard imperial guards will obey the orders of the Grand Commander of Zhennan. However, the four outer guard imperial guards and seven inner guard imperial guards, as well as military officers above the fifth rank, all need to be appointed by the court. The remaining outer guard imperial guards and large and small military officers of the three inner guard imperial guards will be given to you by yourself."

After pausing, Xie Boyan continued, "In this way, your Li family is one of my top generals in Dayan. In the future, the thirteen generals can also be called the thirteen generals. Of course, the five outer guards and ten inner guards soldiers must be selected from the army you are under your current command. The remaining ones who have not been selected can join the government soldiers of the five prefectures and counties."

When Li Bin heard this, he shook his head and said, "I have so many generals under my command. I only have one external guards and three internal guards. How can I make arrangements? At that time, the generals under my command will be in a bad mood!"

After hearing Li Bin's complaint, Xie Boyan felt relieved and said, "Wen De, this time you have built two palaces for me, Da Yan, and you have made great contributions. As long as you receive two imperial edicts and agree to the court to reorganize your army, there are some things that can be negotiated."

Li Bin used the excuse that it was getting late and did not immediately accept the two imperial edicts brought by Xie Boyan. After Xie Boyan left, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun walked into the room.

Li Bin asked the two in a deep voice: "You should have heard the conversation between me and Xie Boyan. What do you think about this?"

Zhou Yu frowned and said, "If the imperial court really repaid Guizhou Prefecture and joined forces with the Jinluo Kingdom to attack, we might not be able to resist. After all, the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards of the 26th inner guards, the fifteenth outer guards and the eighteenth inner guards is far from comparable to the five guards of Fuzhou, the five guards of the five guards of the Junzhou, the six guards of Congzhou and the five guards of Xiangzhou."

Lu Xun also nodded and said, "When we meet the court, it is indeed not the choice. We were able to block the attack of the Jinluo army in Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture before, mainly because the Jinluo army has been crippled by the three sieges, and its vitality has not yet recovered. If the imperial guards came to attack Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture, with the combat power of our army, it would be difficult to defend Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture."

Like the monarchs and ministers of the Jinluo Kingdom, Li Bin and others were not clear about the financial situation of the Great Yan Empire, and were all confused by the superficial strength of the Great Yan Empire.

This time, Xie Boyan, the Foreigner of the Ministry of War, came to Fuzhen City to scare Li Bin. He said that he would join forces with the Jin Luo Kingdom to attack Li Bin, but it was just a bluff. With the current financial situation of the Great Yan Empire, it was impossible to organize a large army of hundreds of thousands to expedition the Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture controlled by Li Bin.

Li Bin shrugged and said, "I had never thought of rebelling out of Dayan, nor did I have the idea of ​​seizing Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture. However, I now have a wealth that is as rich as a country. If I don't have enough power, I worry that there will be too many people to peek at the wealth in my hand, including the emperor of our Dayan."

In fact, Li Bin also had the idea of ​​separating the five prefectures and reindependence in his heart, but this idea only flashed through Li Bin's mind. Li Bin not only had awe of the Great Yan Empire, but also had a deep sense of belonging. The traitors were not so easy to be. If they wanted to betray the Great Yan Empire, perhaps Li Bin himself could not overcome the hurdle in his heart.

Zhou Yu immediately said, "My lord, lord, you can still discuss military power in terms of military power. Now the army of Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture are all controlled by the lord. As long as the lord agrees to the court to reorganize the army of the five prefectures, you can ask for more military power. However, what my subordinates are worried about is whether the court will put the lord under house arrest after the lord returns to Yong'an City?"

Lu Xun smiled slightly at this time and said, "My lord can accept two imperial edicts first. As for when to return to the capital, it's all that the lord said."

Li Bin sighed, "I will definitely go back to the capital, but it must be after the reorganization of the army of the five prefectures."

The Dayan court gave Xie Boyan, a member of the Ministry of War, great power, to reorganize the army under Li Bin. After Li Bin's continuous temptation and Xie Boyan's continuous concessions, Li Bin and Xie Boyan finally reached a consensus that a total of 16 external guards would be formed in the territory of Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture, and not a separate border guards would be formed.

Among them, Guizhou Prefecture is located in the capital road of Jinluo Kingdom, half-encircled by Yingzhou Prefecture and Dongzhou Prefecture, so six imperial guards will be formed, and all the six imperial guards will be controlled by Li Bin. In other words, all military officers of all large and small imperial guards will be appointed by Li Bin.

Xiangzhou Prefecture also borders the Jingcheng Road and Yizhou Prefecture of Jinluo Kingdom, and will form four imperial guards, two of which are under the control of Li Bin.

The Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture and the Junzhou Prefecture will each form two imperial guards. The six imperial guards of these three imperial guards and the other two imperial guards of Xiangzhou Prefecture will be appointed by the Dayan court to appoint military officers at all levels.

In addition to controlling the military power of the eight external guards, Li Bin also took charge of establishing the military power of the five prefectures and counties, which was equivalent to handing over the military power of the military power of the five prefectures and the military power of the military power of the military power of the five prefectures to Li Bin.

The navy under Li Bin was also kept in his hands by Li Bin.

After the reorganization of the army was negotiated, Li Bin immediately received the two imperial edicts brought by Xie Boyan, a member of the Ministry of War. However, Li Bin decided to temporarily postpone his return to Yong'an City based on the reorganization of the army. Xie Boyan had to set off first and report the results of the discussion with Li Bin to the emperor Zhao Zhe.
