From the heart of the Central Plains to the northeast outside the pass, there are dark clouds of war everywhere.

The conservative strategy of the Yanjing left-behind joint meeting made Li Jing very angry, but from another perspective, although the left-behind team was not enterprising and more conservative, it at least maintained the status quo of the Qin vassals in the pass. Even if the nine-town coalition forces such as Li Keyong and others continued to attack the border, they defended the border city, which made Li Keyong and others' plan to lure the Qin army into field battles failed. In the end, the nine-town offensive became a robbery, causing considerable trouble, but Qin vassals did not suffer any real harm. In the words of the attendant and staff, the left-behind joint meeting did not lose an inch of land or a city.

However, Li Jing was definitely unable to satisfy such a result. In Li Jing's view, the Qin vassal had the most elite troops and the most sound reserves, especially after the implementation of the conscript system, the veteran system and the professional system, the Qin army had tens of thousands of veterans every year, and they were enriched into the reserves. In Li Jing's view, although Li Keyong and other nine town coalitions were very famous, they were only a loose alliance at most, not a united place, but attacked everywhere on a front line of thousands of miles. On the surface, they attacked from all sides, but in Li Jing's view, this was a great opportunity for the enemy's troops to be dispersed and they could be defeated one by one.

However, it didn't take long for this anger to be eliminated. Li Jing also knew that on the other hand, the conservative strategy of the left-behind meeting was not wrong, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes. After all, the left-behind meeting was mainly a group of civil officials and generals, and there were few people who could make a decision. Moreover, when he left himself, the left-behind meeting set up itself limits the status of the general group. This certainly played a great role in internal stability in the rear. However, when facing the attacks of the towns, generals with insufficient prestige came out to fight.

To take a step back, not everyone can maintain strong confidence while attacking the north and south of the Eighteen Towns at the same time. Especially when Li Jing led a total of 400,000 troops to expedition to Liaodong, most of the main forces fought thousands of miles away. Facing the attacks of the Eighteen Routes of the North and South, there were not many people who dared to fight back. They had to consider a realistic result, if they chose to defend. Although the Qin army would suffer losses, the losses were within the bearable range, which could ensure that the defense line of thousands of miles in the Qin vassal pass was

Stable and defend the enemy outside the national gate. But if you choose to attack, there will be several results. The best result is naturally that the Qin vassal victory and defeat the enemy. The medium result is that each other is confrontation and stalemate. Such a result will not be troublesome for a while, but it will seriously increase the load of the Qin vassal. The Qin vassal cannot provide sufficient supply for millions of troops to fight at the same time. Just like a bow collapses too much, there will be a risk of breaking. The most terrible result is that the counterattack fails. The door opens and the defense line is lost. The enemy rushes into the inner abdomen of the Qin vassal.

The most important military strategy of the Qin army has always been to defend the outside and the inside, with heavy troops gathering on the long defense line, but there are not many troops in the inside line. Especially in the rear, the defensive power is insufficient. Once the outside line is broken, the consequences are unbearable for the Qin vassal.

Li Jing was angry and gradually calmed down. He reconsidered the entire situation all over again. Finally, he had to admit that although the decision to stay at the left-behind meeting was not the best, it was also the most stable.

Soon a good news came out, which made Li Jing feel much more relaxed.

After he led his fleet to sweep across the Hei Shui Nine Tribes, under the operation of the Supervision Office, the commander of the right-wing army of the Shangjing Alliance and the great governor of the Hei Shui Tribe Alliance, Agulang, finally received a terrible news. The thing they were most worried about happened. The Qin army, who had already been behind them and blocked their way, came up with a more ruthless move. This time, he took a warship directly and under the guidance of the surrendered tribes, he rushed into their rear nests and the villages and towns between the Hei Shui.

Yelu Wansi, the deputy commander of the Right Route Army and the King of the Northern Court of Khitan, tried hard to persuade him. In the end, Agulang still did not withstand the request of the leaders of the nine Heishui tribes. The leaders of the major tribes who were granted the title of governor who was granted by the Tang Dynasty were still sitting there. After hearing the news from the rear, none of them lived. They had been fighting here for several years and had long wanted to go home. But before, they had been promised by the Khitans and Agulang that they could destroy the Bohai Sea after holding on for a while, and they could share countless slaves and cattle and sheep money. The beautiful temptations made them persevere. But now, such temptations can no longer be believed by the soldiers of the Heishui Alliance.

They became crazy and unruly, often robbed, raped, and even fought with soldiers from different tribes and villages to vent their increasing pressure and anxiety. Now, after hearing these bad situations at home, they finally broke out and asked to go home. Even the army began to go home. Many soldiers left the team without authorization and went home directly. There were many people who went home directly. There were also many people who went home directly. The establishment of tribal soldiers.

Originally, they were organized according to tribes. Large tribes formed a team of ten thousand people, and then smaller tribes formed a team of ten thousand people, and several villages formed a team of hundreds people. Originally, this traditional organization made tribe soldiers more familiar with each other when fighting, and did not even have to choose officers, and did not need to cultivate tacit understanding. But now, this has become a convenience for them to get away. The team of 100 people composed of the same village and the team of 100 people composed of small tribes. Under the leadership of the village chief and the tribe leader, they left home without any special skills.

Those thousands of commanders and ten thousand men were all in a state of great anxiety. If this continues, their soldiers will run away. And they themselves were thinking about returning. In the end, Agulang no longer paid attention to Yelu Wansi's advice. His subordinates were going back. If he insisted, it would be difficult for this great commander to be.

Agulang directly brought his nine tribes of the Black Water Alliance of more than 100,000 troops back north and left Shangjing. Yelu Wansi wanted to save Shangjing and persuaded the people from the Shiwei tribe alliance to stay together. However, the Shiwei people only persisted for ten days, and immediately left the Khitan and the people from the small tribe alliance that depended on the Khitan in a dark night, and ran away without saying a word.

The Black Water Alliance and the Shiwei Alliance were together. On the right side, there were not much left in the Khitan and other small tribes. In the end, Yelu Wansi had to admit the reality. The right side army collapsed without attacking. When they discovered that more and more scouts were approaching on the Qin army's defense line in Zhongjing, Yelu Wansi finally took his men to evacuate Shangjing with them.

The next thing was as Li Jing expected. The Hei Shui Tribe Army, who was eager to return north, was ambushed by the Qin army in Deli Town. The Qin army's tactics were in no novelty. They first ambushes, then abducted them, and then abducted them, luring them to pursue them, and then an ambush. However, there were still not many people who were ambushed this time. The Qin army was still defeated 18 consecutive formations within three days, and the Hei Shui Tribe Army pursued 120 miles in one day. The entire Hei Shui Army was in chaos. Finally, they finally chased to the Hei Shui Fortress and were led step by step into the mountain pass with a unique terrain and dangerous terrain by the Qin army. The real Qin army ambush finally came out from all directions. Zhang Zimian, Lin Wei, Wang Qiang, and the four commanders led 100,000 soldiers of the Hei Shui Tribe Army to surround the dangerous canyon of the mountain pass.

This is an ambush on all sides!

At first, the Black Water Tribe thought it was just another ambush that broke through. But when they bravely charged and broke through, they encountered attacks from thousands of flying thunder cannons, hundreds of catapults, and countless powerful bows and crossbows.

Since the Northeast War, this has been the strongest battle between several forces, the largest and most intense fierce battle.

The cannons rang out in the sky, and arrows were like rain. One strong black water warrior after another was ruthlessly shot in the valley. The bodies were piled up like mountains, and the plasma even gathered and spread across the instep.

During seven days and seven nights, Agulang commanded the Hei Shui tribe to launch countless breakthroughs, but the Qin army relied on the nearly battlefield that had been preset, relying on the long-established firearms and countless crossbow arrows, they ruthlessly shattered their desperate breakthrough again and again.

In order to prevent the corpses from rotting in summer and plague, the Blackwater Warriors surrounded by the valley kept burning the corpses of their tribes every day. The stench of the corpses spreads over a hundred miles, and the rolling smoke covered the sky. The Blackwater Warriors trapped in the valley had already lost food and relied on slaughtering war horses for food every day. But seven days later, the war horses would also kill all of them.

They also counted on the people from the Shiwei Alliance and the Khitan Alliance to rescue them. Unfortunately, although the Shiwei Alliance and the Khitans were determined to rescue them, they were isolated a hundred miles away from the battlefield and could not get through at all.

On the ninth day, the Qin army sent envoys into the valley. The Qin army envoys issued an ultimatum of the last three days, asking them to surrender within a limited time. The veto would completely encircle the remaining 100,000 people in the valley to death. At the same time, the Qin army envoys brought the mars from the tribes of the Heihe River Basin, conveyed to them the real situation of the tribes of the Heihe River, and proposed preferential conditions for their surrender.

After the Qin army's envoy left, for two consecutive days, the Black Water Warriors in the valley did not launch the suicide-style breakthrough attack.

On the third day, the final ultimatum time finally came.

Just when the Qin generals in the camp thought that the Blackwater Marines were going to fight to the death, a team of Blackwater cavalry appeared at the mountain pass, but the number was very small, and they raised the white flag as agreed.

The Hei Shui tribe surrendered. Agulang and the governors of the other eight tribes came out of the valley alone, came to the Qin army camp, presented their respective swords to the Qin army commander Lin Wei, then cut his palms, drank blood, and swore to surrender to Qin from now on and never betray him.

Lin Wei accepted this set of rituals and finally put forward the conditions for the Qin army. All Blackwater soldiers, those under the age of 20 and over 50, would receive three months of ideological education in Deli Town, learn the legal etiquette of the Qin vassal, and then return to their hometown. However, all non-disabled soldiers over the age of 20 and under 500,000 need to be recruited into the Qin army, reorganized and supplemented into the various Qin army units. They must serve five years of military service in the Qin army before they can return to their hometown. During their service, they must learn Chinese and Chinese characters and follow the laws and regulations of the Qin vassal. At the same time, during the five-year service period, they enjoy military salary and salary allowances like other Qin soldiers, and they can also enjoy family leave.

For the leaders and nobles of the tribes such as Agulang, the Qin vassal gave them a certain scattered rank, but they did not give titles. All officers and leaders of the centurion level or above must be sent back to the further study class in Yanjing. Of course, in the conditions offered by the Qin army this time, they were very stingy in official positions and titles, but they were still generous in rewards such as money and land. All their original property was protected and they had to receive a lot of new rewards. However, from then on, they could only become a wealthy but idle foreigner, and they had to stay away from their tribe.

This condition is very harsh. When discussing this article, there were many objections, believing that this article was too harsh and would make it difficult for the Black Water leaders to accept. But now the situation is very good, and this article was finally taken out. Of course, the negotiation with the knife on the neck was completely in the hands of the Qin army.

The Hei Shui tribe had already despaired, and there was no second way except to surrender. Although the Qin generals themselves felt that the conditions were very harsh, in the eyes of the Hei Shui tribe leaders, this was still light. They even breathed a sigh of relief after hearing all the conditions that were only these.

The Blackwater Basin is bitter and cold, and the remote and barbaric. The rules of struggle here are even more cruel. If their laws are used, the Blackwater Alliance, as the loser, will be demoted to slaves, and their wives, children, and their wives, children and young people will be doomed. Some even more cruel tribes will kill all the men above the big wheels of the enemy tribe that failed the struggle, or sell them to other tribes as slaves. Then they will occupy their tribe territory and enslave their wives and daughters.

This is the law of struggle in the most backward and barbaric land. It will never end and eliminate the roots.

They discussed for three days before finally deciding to surrender, because they had heard of the preferential treatment of the Qin army for the defeated and surrendered tribes, and after listening to the conditions proposed by the Qin army envoy, they thought it was very good. Although the conditions were too simple and it was hard to believe that it was good, they all believed that this might be just an offensive treaty, and there would be some more severe treaties in secret, but although they still have many soldiers now, they could be trapped tightly, without reinforcements outside and food inside, and there would be no way to go if they continue.

No one could have thought that the conditions for the Qin army at that time were the final conditions.

Agulang took the lead in signing the surrender letter, and then sent his entourage back to the valley.

Later, nearly 100,000 soldiers from the Black Water Alliance who had survived the disaster lined up to walk out of the valley, put down their swords and guns, and even took off all their own feet into the camp that the Qin army had left, and became prisoners honestly.

"Hei Shui Mohe, completely surrendered to His Highness the King of Qin!" Lin Wei couldn't help but sigh proudly as he looked at the spectacular scene.

Li Cunxiao laughed apart and even said cunningly: "It won't take long to change the King of Qin to His Majesty!"

No one here objected to his words, and even Zhang Zimian said nothing. To this day, who else can deny that the future master of the world is besides Li Jing?
