Chapter 163 Unifying the Northern Qiang
The army is overwhelming, the entire Northern Qiang people are in danger, and all the tribes are in panic.

Not only the royal Jin family, but also several other major tribes.

The Ma family has clearly taken refuge in Qin Yuan, and even temporarily canceled the throne.

An Yingchen led most of the army in the clan, and was loyal to Qin Yuan, King An also had the intention of submitting.

The Han family, which suffered heavy losses, also suffered heavy losses after the battle of Liangzhou City. Apart from surrendering, they had no strength to resist at all.

The remaining Zhao family, Bo family, Tuoba family, Chen family, and Yao family have not made a clear statement yet.

Many people are watching the development of the battle situation.

It's just that Qin Yuan won a big victory with lightning speed, killed Jin Kun and Jin Binggan, defeated 32 troops, wiped out the Tiefutu iron cavalry, and captured Langshen Mountain. This news made all the tribes never expect it.

They may think that if Qin Yuan goes all out, he will win the war with the Jin family.

But no one expected that Qin Yuan would win so quickly and the Jin family would be defeated so completely.

Now, with the death of Jin Kun, the only innate warrior of the Jin clan, and the surrender of the Wolf God Priest of Wolf God Mountain, he simply does not have enough power to confront Qin Yuan in terms of high-end combat power.

"In the battle of Langshen Mountain, the enemy army of 32 was annihilated, 17 were annihilated, 14 surrendered, and the remaining less than 1 took advantage of the chaos to escape."

"The casualties of our army totaled more than [-]."

"The captives are all placed in the Wolf God Mountain. People have been sent to guard them and they will be sent south in batches to Mingwu City."

"The Jin family has no news of surrender. Instead, they are dispatching troops. Now they have gathered at least [-] soldiers and horses, stationed in the Jin family's court. It seems that they are preparing for the final resistance."

In the army going north, Zhuge Mo said to Qin Yuan.

"Well, is there any news from other tribes?"

Qin Yuan asked.

"Not yet, but it is estimated that there will be news in the next few days."

Zhugemo said with a smile.

Qin Yuan nodded slightly, looking at the army he led. In the battle of Langshen Mountain, most of the injured were the Northern Qiang soldiers who were in charge of the siege.

Although more than 2 people died in the battle, the size of the entire army was stronger than before.

Obtained the allegiance of the priest of the wolf god, and more than 5 green wolves, which is stronger than an army of 10 people.

The strength of each blue wolf is almost at the level of body training, stronger than ordinary soldiers, even comparable to elite soldiers.

Especially the green wolf, as a wild beast, can explode with blood during battle, enough to make ordinary soldiers feel frightened.

As for the more than 5 green wolves, they are under the control of the Black Wolf Emperor, and no one else can command these green wolves at all.

Qin Yuan originally planned to form a wolf army, just like the black wolf emperor cavalry.

It's a pity that Qinglang's size is not big, and he can't bear the weight of an adult person at all, let alone fight on the battlefield as a war horse.

On the second day when the army went north, it captured more than a dozen small tribes along the way, and more than 30 tribes bowed their heads and surrendered.

On the third day, a letter of surrender was received from the Zhao family of Northern Qiang, and a cavalry of ten thousand people was sent to be loyal to Qin Yuan.

On the fifth day, they received letters of surrender from Bo and Yao, and each brought 2 cavalry.

On the night of the sixth day, Qin Yuan's army arrived outside the royal court of the Jin family.

The size of Qin Yuan's army accepted the allegiance of the tribes along the way and the three royal tribes, and the number of soldiers in the army exceeded 20.

"Report my lord, our army has been stationed in four directions outside King Jin's court, each with [-] troops, and will not let anyone escape. We will also send a team of thousands of people, divided into hundreds of teams, to act as scouts. If there is any trouble, we will immediately Received the news."

Ma Feiteng respectfully faced Qin Yuan and reported.

"Okay, give the city an ultimatum. If you don't surrender, the city will be destroyed tomorrow, and the city will be massacred!"

Qin Yuan stood on the top of the mountain, facing the night wind, looking at the royal court ten miles away.

The city of the King's Court is relatively large, with a population of more than 40.

In the prairie, it is considered the largest city, and it is also the highest power center of the entire Northern Qiang people.

However, in recent years, the influence of the Jin royal family on other royal courts has gradually declined, just like the Zhou emperor and the princes.

A flying arrow pierced the sky and landed directly on the city wall of Wangting.

Several soldiers around looked at each other in blank dismay.

Afterwards, a general hurried over, took down the arrow, took out the letter on it, and sent someone to deliver it to the king.

In the luxurious palace, the emperor of the Jin family sits in a high position. He is almost 70 years old now, and his body has begun to decline.

Below, there are leaders, courtiers, nobles from various tribes, and even envoys sent by the Tuoba and Chen clans.

"Qin Yuan is rebellious. He killed Prince Qian and Patriarch Jin Kun. He has formed a blood feud with our clan. Even if I die in battle, I will never surrender."

After reading the persuasion letter, a stout man became furious and tore up the letter.

People in his line of thought echoed him one after another.

Even the envoys from the Tuoba family and the Chen family agreed with his idea.

"My lord, our Northern Qiang people have ruled the prairie for thousands of years. Even in the heyday of the Lie Han Dynasty, they still made friends with our family. Not to mention a mere Qin Yuan, who is just a state herdsman. The territory of the Northern Qiang people cannot accommodate a single Han. call the shots."

Another person stood up and said. "Please order the emperor to issue a death-fighting order to recruit all the people in the city to fight the enemy to the death. Even if we have no innate combat power, it does not mean that we have no backbone. Even if we die, we must die standing up. Death is worth it. "

Jin's imperial eyes opened slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

On the other side of the palace, the Lord and the Lord descended from the group. From the beginning to the end, they did not say a word.

"Since everyone has decided so, then"

Before the Northern Qiang Emperor finished speaking, he heard a burst of commotion outside the palace, followed by screams, fighting, and the sound of metal collisions.

Everyone turned pale with fright. This is the current foreign enemy, and internal divisions have appeared.

The army has all entered the palace, is this a preparation for rebellion?
The leaders and officials of the main fighting side looked angrily at the main surrendering side.

"Qin Yuan is unstoppable, I am here for the continuation of the tribe."

The leader of the descendant faction finally spoke up.

kill kill kill!

Shouts of killing rushed forward, all the guards guarding the palace were killed, and the army rushed into the palace, pointing their weapons at the main battle faction.

Puff!

Puff!

There was a sound of swords sinking into flesh and blood, and within a short while, blood flowed like a river in the palace, and hundreds of leaders and officials, as well as the envoys of the Tuoba clan and the Chen clan, all fell in a pool of blood.

"Please ask the emperor to send down the criminal edict to protect our Northern Qiang people a way out."

A man with a long sword covered in blood walked up to the Northern Qiang Emperor.

"Okay, okay! Ahem!"

Northern Qiang Emperor's cloudy eyes were full of disappointment and decadence. His era will eventually pass.

Since Jin Bingqian's army was destroyed and Jin Kun died in battle, his so-called emperor has survived in name only.

The approach of Qin Yuan's army accelerated the speed even more.

All power, especially military power, fell into the hands of others.

Now, the last remaining bit of hope has also disappeared.

The next day.

The gates of the King's Court of the Jin Clan were wide open, and the Lian Clan in the city led one hundred thousand defenders to escort the Northern Qiang Emperor and surrender to Qin Yuan.

At this point, the so-called throne of Beiqiang was destroyed.

Qin Yuan attached great importance to the Lian clan, and established a new army, led by the Lian clan. As for the soldiers in the army, they were [-] surrendered soldiers from the royal court.

Being able to make the enemy surrender without a fight is naturally the best result.

Even sacrificing some benefits is more worthwhile than siege.

Once a war breaks out, hundreds of thousands of troops will collide, and tens of thousands of people will die.

The crime of the Northern Qiang Emperor has been edicted, and it has also spread to various tribes in the grassland, and it is accompanied by the news that Qin Yuan has become the ruler of the Northern Qiang.

Although Qin Yuan did not claim the title of king, he became the true emperor of the Northern Qiang people.

For the remaining Tuoba clan and Chen clan, Qin Yuan ordered Ma Feiteng to send troops with the Lian clan to conquer separately.

As for the Han family, it had been a long time since Qin Yuan received any news of surrender, so Qin Yuan was cruel and directly handed it over to An Yingchen to deal with.

So many days are enough for the Han family to receive the news and react, so Qin Yuan will not give the Han family another chance.

In less than half a month, the three armies respectively invaded the three royal tribes and completely wiped them out.

Within a month, the entire northern grassland fell into Qin Yuan's hands.

As for the north, it is a country of ice and snow, the population is even sparser, and there is no direct conflict with the Northern Qiang people.

In the east, there is the Beidi tribe. The territory of the Beidi tribe is much smaller than that of the Beiqiang tribe, and the tribal strength is far lower than that of the Beidi tribe.

Although Qin Yuan has no intention of entering the Beidi tribe's territory, their current situation is also difficult.

Gongsun Chi, who had returned from Yidu County, focused all his efforts on the Beidi Fang tribe, and seemed to be on the pole with them, and he would never stop dying.

Facing the powerful Gongsunchi army, most of the territory of the Beidi tribe has now fallen.

To the west of Xiyong Liangzhou and the Northern Qiang people is the country of the Western Regions, a place where Buddhism is prevalent, almost everyone believes in Buddhism, and there is no big conflict of interest.

It can be said that the northwest border of the Liehan Dynasty fell into the hands of Qin Yuan, and some enemies and hidden dangers have been completely resolved.

Therefore, Qin Yuan's focus was once again placed on the Eighteen States of Liehan.

Xiyong Liangzhou was completely under control, and all kinds of young people were eradicated, and even those who secretly communicated with the Central Plains family and other princes were uprooted. Once discovered, the entire family would be ransacked and wiped out.

"Accommodating the entire Northern Qiang people only increased the luck value by [-], which is much less than Xiyong Liangzhou."

Qin Yuan, who had been recuperating in Mingwu City for more than half a month, couldn't help but sigh.

The territory of the Northern Qiang people is vast, and their combat power is much stronger than that of the Western Yongliang Prefecture. Otherwise, they would not have been able to invade most of the Western Yongliang Prefecture with the power of just three Northern Qiang royal families.

It's a pity that the population is too small, so Qin Yuan doesn't get much luck.

Qin Yuan didn't keep [-] points of luck.

They were exchanged for Zhen Guo Di Yin and Wen Sheng Temple respectively.

Zhen Guo Di Yin can continuously generate luck value for Qin Yuan.

As long as Qin Yuan can firmly rule the territory, he will be able to continuously obtain luck points, which can be said to be credited to the account even if he is lying down.

As for Wensheng Temple, Qin Yuan considered it for a long time, and finally chose to exchange it.

Because he is going to carry out compulsory education and cultivate talents of civilian origin.

One is that with the expansion of Qin Yuan's territory, a large number of officials and some special talents are needed.

The second is to be able to break the educational monopoly of the aristocratic family and indirectly weaken the strength of the aristocratic family.

For the remaining [-] points, Qin Yuan exchanged another [-] Black Wolf Emperor Riders, spending [-] points of luck.

Of course, there was no reward for the Shadow Wolf King this time, only the first time he reached the thousand-headed Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry, there would be rewards.

Following the end of the battle at Wolf God Mountain, the Shadow Wolf King devoured the wolf king's divine sense, and has been recuperating and digesting since he came back. Now he has broken through from the innate middle-level strength to the innate high-level, and even his soul power has doubled .

After handling some complicated government affairs in the city lord's palace, Qin Yuan summoned Zhuge Mo.

"My lord, are you ready to go out again?"

Zhu Gemo asked.

In fact, with Qin Yuan's current power, he only needs to sit in Mingwu City and leave the battle to the various generals.

Whether it's Bai Qi Meng Tian's confidant generals, or Ma Fei Teng An Yingchen, the talents of the Yan family of Zhuge's family, all have the ability to lead troops to fight.

Even, during this period of time, many small and medium-sized battles were completed by them.

To be honest, Qin Yuan really didn't need to go out in person.

Now that forces have entered a virtuous circle and are developing rapidly, as long as they fight steadily, other forces are no match at all.

The most important thing is that Qin Yuan himself must not have any accidents.

"Well, I stayed in Mingwu City for more than half a month, and soon fell ill."

Qin Yuan murmured.

"Actually, you have a lot of affairs to deal with." Zhuge Mo said.

It's a pity that Qin Yuan doesn't like him. Except for important government affairs, which Qin Yuan will personally review, the rest of the affairs are handled by his subordinates. If Qin Yuan has to do it himself, it can really exhaust him to death.

"How is Tianchuan Yizhou?"

Qin Yuan asked.

"After General Mengtian supported Wenshan County, he first drove the Yizhou Army out of Wenshan County and guarded it for more than a month. After General Baiqi arrived for support a few days ago, the two generals chose to take the initiative and took down two counties. .But the resistance from Tianchuan and Yizhou is very fierce, so the advance speed is not fast."

Zhuge Mo said, "There is definite news that members of the Taishan Covenant went to Tianchuan Yizhou to restrict the actions of Bai Qi and General Meng Tian."

"Well, if we rely solely on the army to fight, the advance will indeed be slower, and the terrain of Tianchuan Yizhou is not good, making it even more difficult to attack the city."

Qin Yuan nodded slightly.

"How is the Northern Qiang Army reorganized?"

Qin Yuan asked again.

"Except for some left behind on the northern grasslands, there are a total of 60 Northern Qiang cavalry stationed in the Mingwu barracks. They are divided into three major armies, with Ma Feiteng, An Yingchen, and Liancheng as the army commanders. They have been rectified for many days. , you can go out with the army.”

Zhuge Mo said, "However, the environment in Tianchuan and Yizhou is not conducive to cavalry operations."

"Well, Tianchuan Yizhou doesn't need them. What do you think about sending them to the Central Plains?"

"This is a good idea." Zhuge Mo nodded. To be honest, 60 Northern Qiang troops were stationed in the Mingwu barracks, and Zhuge Mo really had trouble sleeping and eating.

If Qin Yuan himself hadn't been there, Zhuge Mo wouldn't have dared to let them stay in the Mingwu barracks.

"Should they fight together, or separately?"

Zhu Gemo asked again.

"Let's separate, we can look at their ability gap."

Qin Yuan decided to put the 60 troops into the Central Plains and serve as Qin Yuan's vanguard army in the Central Plains.

Today, the entire Liehan Dynasty is like a powder keg, with wars everywhere.

In the battle of Luodu in Sizhou in the east, the Tiandao Army fought with Zhao Xuan for several months, and the winner has not yet been decided.

The same is true for Nanjiang Jingzhou.

It seems that they are all in a state of war fatigue, and they are not in a hurry to decide the outcome.

If this situation continues, the unification war will never end within ten or eight years.

Regarding their attitude, Qin Yuan certainly couldn't let them get what they wanted, he had to arouse their enthusiasm.

Therefore, the 60 Northern Qiang army is a good opponent. I hope these princes and forces will be satisfied.
