As the New Year approaches day by day, the situation outside the pass becomes clearer and brighter, and good news comes back every day. Two groups of soldiers sent by autumn go straight to the Khitan and Shiwei grasslands, and begin to eliminate the roots and completely consolidate the results of the battle.

Those who are in line will prosper, and those who are in contradictory will perish!

Under the trampling of 100,000 iron hooves, the entire northeastern tribes were trembling. Under the Flying Eagle, all the northeast tribes, from the Mongolian Plateau Pass to the east to the Tartar Island, to the vast snow country, and even to the plateau pass to the west, reaching the Beihai, the Three Kingdoms, the Jin and Sui dynasties, and the Tang dynasties, and were successively controlled by the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turks and other fronts. After the end of the Battle of Bohai, several large tribes in this vast area, such as Khitan, Shiwei, Mohe, Goguryeo, Tatar, Tiel, Uighur, Xi and other tribes were defeated one after another, and their vitality was severely damaged. When the entire army was almost gone, no one could stop the Qin army's iron hooves.

Under the flying eagle, they either surrender or were conquered by arrows and swords.

Those who surrendered were ordered to move south, and they would be scattered and placed in the Qin vassal states from Liaodong to Bohai, Rehe to Beiping, and from Shanxi to Huaihai. Their young children would be selected to go to the Central Plains to conduct new-style education in the Qin vassal states, and their young men and women would be required not to marry within the tribe. They had to marry foreign women and foreign men. They were even required to cut their hair into short hair in a uniform manner, and women would not be allowed to bald. Even their clothes had to be changed to Hanfu and practice Han etiquette. They were even asked to convert to the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism that were improved in the Qin vassal states, and the rest were all cult lewd temples.

The conditions of the Qin army were harsh. Thousands of miles southwards were not going southwards along the way. Instead, all the surrendered tribes started from their tribal settlements, and all the young and old began to build roads, going southwards and building roads. They built roads in the northeast, and built spider-web-like roads in the white mountains and black waters and forests and swamps, all the way south.

Despite the promise that when the Qin army arrived south, the Qin King would give them land and pastures, and give them a better life as before. However, the unknown fear still made them confused and panic. Coupled with the bad weather and heavy labor, people died every day, people fled every day. Sometimes, some of the subordinates who had surrendered were rebelling on a small scale.

To the rebels, the Qin army gave iron-blooded suppression and ruthless killing.

There were more fierce and barbaric tribes who refused to surrender. They either united to resist or began to migrate to the plateau grasslands further north and west. The rebels were mercilessly cleansed, and those who moved north and west were also chased by the Qin army, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

For the Qin army, after defeating the vast number of tribes in the Northeast, they will implement real control here, establishing prefectures and counties, and establishing provinces. This is by no means the silence system in the Han and Tang dynasties. From now on, the Qin vassal state is the real master of this land. Whether it is the Khitans or Shiwei people, they will only be members of the Qin vassal state, and they will not be allowed to have a chance to make a comeback. This is also the reason why the Qin army implemented a tough strategy in the Northeast that was completely different from that in the occupied areas of the Central Plains. First establish authority, then show kindness, and the strong respect the strong, fist is the most important thing.

Each tribe surrendered one by one, conquered one by one.

Tribes continued to move south, following their steps, behind them, one road after another was built from all directions, and they went straight to Yanjing in the pass.

The army triumphantly went from the Northeast to train, and at the same time, new border guards and road protection troops gathered from the pass to advance towards the Northeast. The most elite troops fought triumphantly, while the newly built troops set out to the border.

By the end of the year, a total of 400,000 elite troops were withdrawn from the Northeast, and there were also twelve legions composed of hundreds of large and small tribes, including the Bohai Sea.

This is a terrifying number, 400,000 Qin troops and 600,000 tribal troops.

Of course, this is a number that is publicized to the outside world. In fact, the 400,000 Qin troops are indeed elite, but there are also 150,000 of them to be united soldiers and village soldiers recruited from outside the pass. In fact, there are only five armies in the war army. The so-called twelve tribal corps are even more exaggerated. Under the attack of the Qin army, the tribal army was destroyed, and even those who were captured and surrendered were not many. In addition, the remaining mob in the Bohai Kingdom, there were not many real soldiers. These twelve tribal corpses were actually Li Jing forcing the strong and even young people from the larger tribes to form an army. Establishing this army was not really about using them to fight, but Li Jing took the time to take the tribe's strategy. Without the young men and teenagers, those tribes would have lost the backbone of the resistance against the Qin vassal.

After these twelve legions went south, Li Jing did not even want to retain the organization of one of the legions. He only planned to pick out one tenth of the tribal warriors from the 600,000 people, disrupt them and divide them into various Qin troops. Even the Ninth and Thirteenth Legions, the two pure British legions that had just made great contributions, will be disbanded immediately and replenished to other armies.

As for the rest of the Hu people, Li Jing planned to organize them into military camps with refugees from other parts of the Central Plains and Bohai people, and according to the production and construction corps when Taizu of this dynasty was founded, they were sent to the newly occupied Northeast region, establish military storage areas, develop the Northeast, and build the Northeast.

Li Jing considered it a long time and could not leave this large number of Northeast tribes in the Northeast, otherwise it would sooner or later become a big problem. But for the development of the Northeast, these indigenous people were the best candidates. Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Jing finally came up with a plan to move these Northeast tribes to the Central Plains, disperse and place them in various parts of the Qin vassal states, break them into pieces, and control the leaders of those tribes. Then, in a similar manner to military service, these tribe men were recruited to the production corps to develop the Northeast. They could return home after five years of service. In this way, they could use the resources of the tribes reasonably, and did not allow them to take the opportunity to restore their strength in the Northeast, which would lead to future troubles.

The plan to relocate in this way and then recruit the Northeast to serve seems a bit in circles. But it seems like a waste of time, but it is very necessary to develop the Northeast. But it is necessary to develop the Northeast. But it is for the Qin vassal state, and in the long run, it is for the descendants of the Han people of the entire Central Plains. If the Northeast is finally developed and the tribes in the Northeast rise up, isn’t this digging a pit for itself or even harming its descendants? Therefore, all this is very necessary.

Defeating the tribes in the Northeast is just the first step in the journey of thousands of miles, and there are many things to do next.

But now, this is no longer the most urgent matter for Qin Fan.

As the end of the year approaches, more and more troops are returning from the northeast to the pass. Several important towns outside Yanjing, Shanhaiguan, Tangshan, Tianjin, Lulongsai, Junduguan, Mozhou Sanguan, Hejian, Zijingguan and others have begun to enter a large army, with a number of more than 500,000. The New Year is approaching, but these triumphant troops have not yet obtained the license for vacation.

With so many troops gathered, anyone can get into a tense atmosphere of war.

At such a moment, Yang Fuguang was very anxious.

He knew very well that the Qin army's situation was actually a demonstration. Ten legions, one hundred troops, and five hundred thousand troops gathered in Hebei. In addition, there were 12 legions, one hundred and six hundred thousand tribal soldiers brought back from the Northeast by Li Jing, who were stationed in western Liaoning, Rehe and Shanxi.

The negotiation was agreed, but the result was that Li Jing held the sword against his throat. How could he talk about it?

Yang Shouliang had already received a detailed spy arranged by the Fangshi of the Qinfan through the imperial military department's position in the court. Although the tribal army was not all elite, the number of 600,000 was not bad. The Qin army's 500,000 elite soldiers were absolutely correct, and among the 500,000 troops, there were 300,000 elite soldiers alone. The remaining 200,000 were also reserve troops that had fought several years of war in the Bohai Sea. This still did not count the huge reserves in the Bohai Rim Circle. With the huge reserves and mobilization capabilities of the Qin army, the Qin army could gather at least 300,000 reserves in the north at any time.

He has repeatedly confirmed this news several times, and it is absolutely true.

"The strength of the Qin army can send troops south directly. Why didn't they start fighting immediately? What are they waiting for?" Yang Shouliang was puzzled. In his opinion, if the court had a large army of millions, they would have sent troops to fight, and whoever was not convinced would fight. But after Li Jing won the victory in the Northeast, he actually wanted to stop and negotiate. Moreover, after they proposed such conditions yesterday, Li Jing even gave in a little, as if he cared about the negotiations.

Anyone can see that with the current strength of the Qin army, without any worries, they would forcibly start a war with the Chang'an court. The chances of victory are mostly on the Qin army. But when the Qin army had such a chance of victory, they gathered millions of troops in the northeast, remained silent, and even secretly negotiated with them.

"Will there be a conspiracy? Could it be that Li Jing wants to use negotiations to paralyze us and then suddenly send troops?" Yang Shouliang only thought of this possibility.

Yang Shouyi shook his head, "I think Li Jing is very scheming and it is difficult to guess his true thoughts, but maybe he wants to use force to intimidate others without fighting, and want to get what he wants directly at the negotiating table."

"You mean that Li Jing wants to get Wei Bo, Chengde, Hedong and Xuanwu towns without bloodshed?"

"Or what Li Jing wants more is to use our hands to kill Li Keyong and Zhu Wen!" Yang Shouyi murmured. Li Keyong and Li Jing have had a long grudge. The Shatuo people were dissatisfied with Li Jing and were defeated repeatedly. Now Li Jing still has the hatred of taking his wife and killing his father for Li Keyong. It can almost be said that he will never die. Li Keyong now occupies a major town in Hedong, blocking Li Jing's way south to Luoyang and westward to Chang'an. If he attacks for a strong force, it will definitely be a big price, but if he can use the court to get rid of Li Keyong, it will be quite cost-effective.

But even if he could guess what the purpose of Li Jing was, Yang Fuguang, who sat on the couch like an old monk entering a meditation, was very upset in his heart. He felt that his trip to Yanjing was destined to be a failure. After Li Jing polished the knife, he took the initiative to jump into the door.

"Enjoyed Father, I see Li Jing's last move today, which shows that he cares about this negotiation very much and does not want the negotiation to break down. Therefore, I think it is not that we unilaterally want to reach this negotiation, so it is better for us to be tougher. Otherwise, blindly giving in will only let the other party slaughter arbitrarily." Yang Shouyi put forward his own opinion.

Yang Fuguang opened his eyes and shook his head with a wry smile. Today, the two sides only proposed their own initial conditions and had not conducted substantial negotiations. However, judging from the conditions proposed by both sides, it is too difficult to reach this negotiation, because the conditions between the two sides are too far apart, which is simply a world of difference. If you seek common ground while reserving differences, at least you have to have some similarities, but they are too far apart.
