Chapter 914

The mountains are high and the wilderness is vast, and the north wind is howling.

The emperor led light cavalry to hunt in Beijian Mountain, and all officials followed. He chose to hunt at this time, but it was not because the emperor had already begun to like pomp and enjoy.

"I have asked someone to give Chen Faxing, and Lin Shihong and Xiao Xian's three families have replied. I accept their tribute to the request for peace. I will also issue an order to Li Xizhi, Luo Yi, Feng Ang and others, ordering the three to stop the Northern Expedition and quit the war. However, there is also a condition, that is, Xiao Xian withdrew from the north of the Yangtze River, handed over Nanyang and Xiangyang to the Qin Dynasty, and stopped attacking the four counties of Handong, and then used the Yangtze River as the boundary."

As for Lin Shihong and Shen Faxing, the emperor's request was that both of their troops would withdraw from Huaixi, return the counties and counties they invaded and fight back to the Qin Dynasty, and release all the captured Qin soldiers.

In exchange, Luo Cheng was willing to let Luo Yi and Feng Ang and their Northern Expedition Army withdraw from the Wuling Mountains.

"I would like to grant Chen Faxing the title of Prince of Jiangdong and the land to Jiangdong Road. Lin Shihong the title of Prince of Jiangxi, Jiangxi Road, Xiao Xian the title of King of Hunan and the land to Hunan Road."

As for Li Zitong, he was a rebellion of the Qin Dynasty and had to die and not tolerate it. The three kings were not allowed to rescue Li Zitong, otherwise it would be regarded as tearing down the peace agreement and would be regarded as a rebellion by the Qin Dynasty.

Wei Zheng hung a wine gourd on his waist. Although he had a bow in his hand, he had no intention of shooting hunting. He followed the emperor, and there was still a smell of alcohol on his body. It was obvious that he was riding a horse and drinking a few sips of wine from time to time.

"I'm afraid the three of them may not be willing to be named as princes. Moreover, it is even more difficult to let them cede the land, right?"

"It's okay, they are asking for peace from me, not because I am asking for peace from them. This is the condition. If you are willing to accept it, just accept it. If you are unwilling to accept it, just forget it."

Luo Cheng took the initiative, not these anti-kings. After Luo Yi and Feng Ang and others made great efforts, these three anti-kings were actually under great pressure. Although there were not many Northern Expedition troops and did not advance rapidly and were unstoppable, they also won some victories and captured some cities.

As long as Luo Cheng fought south from the north, the Northern Expedition Army behind him would be completely different, and the three kings would be attacked from both sides.

Although Luo Cheng needs to rest first, the three kings were fighting for territory before, and there was constant civil strife, which was not easy.

For example, Xiao Xian had already had many subordinates who surrendered to Qin, and even the general Dong Jingzhen wanted to surrender to Qin. Although he was defeated and killed by Xiao Xian, Zhang Xiu, who had killed Dong Jingzhen, had greatly increased his strength and became domineering. In the end, Xiao Xian was not allowed to summon other powerful generals. After the appointment of officials, the coalition forces killed Zhang Xiu again.

After killing two generals in a row, the Liang Dynasty, whose strength was already greatly reduced, became weaker. In order to avoid the re-arrogance of warlords like Dong Zhang, Xiao Xian firmly implemented the strategy of releasing the army and returning to the fields, and suddenly cut off 400,000 Liang troops and promoted the reorganization of the army throughout the Liang Dynasty. As a result, the imperial army serial number was established and the army was reorganized. The military generals were no longer as domineering as before, but the military strength of the entire Nanliang was also greatly reduced.

Now Luo Cheng said, we should not fight, if Daqin does not fight with you, you should not fight with yourself, let us quit the war together, you will be righteous, Daqin will enfeoff you, and live a peaceful life from now on.

Xiao Xian and others used to call themselves emperors and founded the country, but now Luo Cheng only named them princes. This is not the treatment of vassal states, but only the treatment of princes and kings.

"Your Majesty is domineering. I think they will protest, but they will accept it in the end."

From the moment they came to ask for surrender and surrender, it completely shows that these three families are neither united nor have ambitions. Even if they have been emperor, they are timid before they fight Luo Cheng.

Such people cannot believe that they have the determination to fight the Qin Dynasty to the end.

"Send people to comfort Jiannan and Yunnan, and the world will be almost barely unified." Wei Zheng said that there was never a king in Jiannan, and there might be a separatist during the war. However, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the time was too short, and there was no time for such a hero to appear in Shu.

Shu once surrendered to the Li Tang in Guanzhong, but now that the Li Tang has been destroyed, it is natural for them to surrender to the Qin Dynasty.

As for Yunnan, it had already left the Central Plains during the Daye Dynasty. Later, the imperial court sent Yuwen Shu to Yunnan to guard the road and garrison. It was just a little bit like this, but the chaos broke out. As soon as Yuwen Shu died, Yunnan was all over the barbarians.

At the moment, the whip is far away, and Wei Zheng only recommends sending people to pacify the barbarians. As long as they are willing to submit on the surface, it is better. As for actual control, it is not too late to send troops after the world is unified in the future.

"The Tuyuhun people in Qinghai have restored their country. What will your Majesty do?"

"Send an envoy to enthrone Tuyuhun Khan as the prince of Xihai, first appease them and not allow them to invade borders and disturb the people."

The world is chaotic, and the emperor can only do it step by step for these distant frontiers.

It is certainly a pleasure to start the full battle, but Daqin does not have the strength yet.

"When Xiao Xian responded to the imperial edict, the Han River Basin north of the Yangtze River will be set up as Hubei Road, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of Jianmen, and west of Yiling will be set as Bahan Road. South of Jianmen will still be Jiannan Road."

Originally, there was only Jiannan and Shannan Road in this area, but now there was Xiao Xian in Shannan. He marked his location as Hunan, and then marked out the Hubei and Bahan Roads.

"Nanyang County south of Funiu Mountain and Huaian County south of Fangcheng Mountain are also divided into Hubei Road from Henan Road."

"Old Taoist."

Wei Zheng turned his head, "Your Majesty?"

"I plan to grant Siye a fief at 800 miles with the achievements of calming Xiangyang and pacifying Guanlong. After pacifying Tuyuhun, I will grant him a fief at the edge of Qinghai Lake, and give him a fief at the top of Qinghai, so that Siye and his descendants will be eternally buried by Qinghai Lake. What do people think?"

Wei Zheng thought for a while, "Qinghai is close to Guanlong and guarding the Hexi Corridor, and its strategic location is critical. However, this has always been a place occupied by nomadic peoples. Although it has repeatedly fought since the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has never been truly included in the direct jurisdiction of the Central Plains court. If it is enfeoffed to the King of Jin, it would be great. I am afraid that chaos will occur over time." Wei Zheng said bluntly.

"With the order to redeem the grace, the 800-mile fiefdom of King Jin will be divided into countless small fiefdoms. Although the recipients are all descendants of the heirs, there should be no trouble. What I care more about is that these Luo family children will be able to maintain their borders forever in the future and expand their territory for our Great Qin."

"If you want to seal the seal, you must go a little further to the west. The Hehuang land is farmed and cultivated. This place should be directly under the jurisdiction of the court to be stable."

What Wei Zheng mentioned was a triangular valley that was 600 miles long between the Yellow River and the Huangshui River. This was an agricultural belt with rich resources and beautiful scenery, which was mainly concentrated in Xiping County at this time.

Luo Cheng planned to enfeoff Siye in Xihai County west of Qinghai Lake, which is mainly a pasture area and is also in the Qinghai Basin.

"If it is south of the Qilian Mountains and west of Qinghai Lake, it would be too remote." Wei Zheng took a sip of wine and said, "Where is Your Majesty planning to seal the King of Wei?"

"How about the west of Nujiang River to the south of Yunnan?" This is almost the southernmost tip of Yunnan's borders in later generations.

Wei Zheng thought about where the Nujiang River was, "Your Majesty, it's too far away. I think it's better to enfeoff the Fengniu River." Fengniu River is the Jinsha River in later generations, and it is in the Lijiang area north of Dali.
