    In this way, Zhao Jun used the eastern tribes and the surrendered tribes in the central part as the vanguard to attack those tribes that were unwilling to surrender.  In this way, we can not only obtain supplies, but also weaken the Turkic tribes.

    Although many tribes saw that King Zhao wanted to use them to weaken the overall strength of the Turks, they had to do so, because if they were unwilling to do so, then they would be the enemies of Zhao Jun, and even without Zhao Jun  If you take action, you will be killed by the warriors of other tribes.  You know, there are many people who want to become a khan, and there are also many tribes who want to be attached to the big tree of Zhao Jun, but are not strong enough.

    As for Xue Nie Khan, the former overlord of the Turkic tribes, now, all tribes have forgotten about him.  For some reason, the Zhao army did not send troops thousands of miles north to attack Xue Nie Khan's headquarters, the royal court.

    In this regard, various tribes also secretly asked Zhao Jun's officers and soldiers, and received different answers.  It stands to reason that with the current strength of the Zhao army and the decline of Xue Nie Khan, not to mention more, as long as 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry are sent, plus the armies of various tribes acting together, it is enough to defeat the so-called Xue Nie Khan.  The culprit will be dealt with.  However, Zhao Xun had no intention of taking action again.

    Since King Zhao didn¡¯t pay attention to the tiger in the past, no one in the various tribes paid attention to the sick cat now.  Of course, no tribe dared to ignore it easily, except for the area thousands of miles around Xue Nie Khan's headquarters.

    In fact, for Zhao Xun, keeping Xue Nie Khan is not useless.  The current Xue Nie Khan is no threat to the Zhao army, but Zhao Xun still hopes that this former tiger can be a deterrent to the three Khans who will command various tribes that he is about to entrust.  In short, Zhao Xun just wants them to fight among themselves, and the harder they fight, the better.

    Although Zhao Jun defeated the Turkic Army, Zhao Xun knew very well that this did not mean that he had completely surrendered these uncivilized nomads.  It is not an easy task to tame them.  Or, destroy them completely.  Or, cripple them and gradually devour them

    July, hot summer.  While the Zhao army was marching across the north, the fighting in the south also slowed down a lot due to the weather.  However, because the Qi army was besieged by several princes, it finally showed signs of defeat.

    ?????????????????????????????????????? However, under Situ Lei's personal control, Jiaozhou was eventually occupied by Yong's army, even if it was intercepted by local natives and the local army secretly organized by Zhao Jun.  Although Jiaozhou is not as prosperous as the Central Plains states.  However, Jiaozhou is located in the southern border, facing the sea on one side and intersecting with the southern countries on the other.  In this way, great trade benefits can be obtained.  This place was finally occupied by Situ Lei.

    However, Qiongzhou Island in the east of Jiaozhou was occupied by Zhao Jun.  Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Qi army cannot control Jiaozhou.  Since we can't hold it here, we might as well let others hold it.  In the view of Murong Cheng and others, it would be the most beneficial thing to have Zhao Jun's navy appear at the gate of Jiaozhou if there would be a dispute with Situ Lei.

    The loss in Jiaozhou was not a great pain to Murong Cheng.  But the loss of the entire Jingzhou made him feel a little unbearable pain.  Although the current Jingzhou is not as big as the Qin and Han Dynasties, it is still more than half the size of ancient Jingzhou.  This place has excellent water conservancy, so trade is prosperous and the fields are fertile.  Therefore, it has a large population and poses a threat to Jiangzhou and Yangzhou along the river.  Fortunately, the Tang army occupied Jingzhou and did not have a strong naval force. Otherwise, Murong Cheng might not be able to sleep well.

    Because of the rapid offensive of the Yong Army and the Tang Army, the Qi Army's counterattack in Yangzhou was also affected.  Therefore, the four prefectures occupied by the Xuzhou Army are still in a stalemate.

    For Murong Cheng, he could lose it anywhere else, but not Yangzhou.  Therefore, the Qi Army and the Xuzhou Army fought very hard in Yangzhou.  However, Li Chi, the leader of Xuzhou Army, is not an easy person to deal with.  Other princes have achieved results, but he has not achieved significant results. Naturally, Li Chi is not happy.  Furthermore, opening a gap and establishing a base on the south bank of the Yangtze River is also a necessary condition for the Xuzhou Army to develop southward.  Therefore, despite the heavy casualties in the battle with the Qi army, Li Chi still persisted.

    Nowadays, the north of Xuzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Zhao Army, the west is the Yanzhou Army, the east is the sea, and the south is its own enemy Qi Army.  For now, Qi Jun is the best to deal with. Who made Murong Cheng become everyone's public enemy and a target of abuse?  This is also the reason why Li Chi fought desperately against the Qi army.  He was worried that once the northern overlord Zhao Xun completed his actions against the Turkic army, he would inevitably turn his attention to the Central Plains princes' struggle for hegemony.  Then, he, a prince who is close to Zhao Jun and is not strong, will be the first target to be hit.

    Although the four lands in the northeast of Yangzhou are under Li Chi's control, these four lands have not been completely returned to their original focus, and have not even formed a rule that fully belongs to him, Li Chi.  The reason for this??, firstly because this place is in a war-torn place.  Secondly, this is the foundation of Qi King Murong Cheng, and Qi King Murong Cheng's influence here is extraordinary.

    But whether it is Situ Lei or other princes, except for Murong Cheng, everyone hopes to determine the winner in the southern states before Zhao Xun defeats the Turkic army or resolves the war with the Turkic army in the north.  Come and lay a solid foundation for yourself so that you can resist the strongest northern hero in the world.

    However, the strength of the Zhao army, or the rapid defeat of the Turkic army, has exceeded the expectations of the princes.  Both Murong Cheng and Situ Lei were shocked by this.  In particular, Situ Lei and Li Chi were very concerned about Zhao Jun's actions after their victory.  After all, both of them are adjacent to the territory under Zhao Jun's jurisdiction.  Now Zhao Jun is in a state of great victory and can take advantage of the situation to move south at any time and enter the territory of the two men.

    Fortunately, what reassured the two of them was that Zhao Xun did not go south immediately, but continued to stay in the north.  After Zhao Xun defeated the Turkic army, he inspected Xiazhou, Bingzhou and the northern border of Dingzhou, and then turned southeast, preparing to return to Youzhou to take charge of the aftermath of the war.  However, the Zhao troops in Xiazhou, Bingzhou and Dingzhou did not have any tendency to move south.

    Even so, no matter which princes they were on, they all secretly sighed after learning about Zhao Jun's results in the north.  Each of us has a deep understanding of the complicated emotions in our hearts.  After Situ Lei learned the news that Zhao Jun had defeated the Turkic Army, he stood still for a long time and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm not as good as me!"

    Because of this, the good news that Situ Lei originally occupied Jiaozhou and defeated his old enemy Murong Cheng did not make him happy.  On the contrary, because of this news, Situ Lei looked much older.  For Situ Lei, Zhao Jun's defeat of the Turkic army had indescribable significance for the situation in the entire world.  And his body is no longer strong enough to continue to compete with Zhao Xun.

    "Hey it's time to choose the prince. Let them handle the matters of their children and grandchildren themselves." Situ Lei smiled bitterly and said secretly.

    Zhao Xun went from Xiazhou, passed through Bingzhou and then headed north to Dingzhou.  Wherever he went, people from all over the country came out to welcome King Zhao for dozens of miles.  You know, in these border areas, whether the residents who originally lived on the border or the residents who migrated from other areas, were happy and celebrated that the Zhao army defeated the Turkic army.

    Those residents who were originally on the border have suffered from border disturbances from other places.  Naturally, we hope that the imperial court can defeat these foreign enemies and protect them.  Now that Zhao Jun has done it, they can completely let go of the worries and hatred in their hearts and live here safely.

    And those residents who migrated from other regions are mostly refugees from various places.  Now that they have moved here, they can enjoy all kinds of treatment from Zhao Jun. They are very satisfied with having their own homes and fields.  But the Turks always have a sharp sword hanging above their heads, which may be cut down at any time.  Now, this sharp sword has been taken away by Zhao Jun, how can they not be happy?

    "The requirements of the people are actually quite simple, but even this simple request is often difficult to achieve. In the end, these ordinary people, like huge waves, completely destroyed the great imperial dynasty. And this  A huge wave is often used by people with intentions to become a sword for dynasty change!" Zhao Xunren sighed.

    "My lord has fulfilled their needs for them? Otherwise, they would not be so eager to welcome my lord!" Han Meng on the side said with a smile.

    "Yes, we have moved here temporarily. The nomads in the north have always been a scourge to our Central Plains dynasty and must be severely suppressed." Zhao Xun said lightly.

    After Zhao Xun completed his inspection tour and dealt with some important military and political matters that required his personal instructions, he returned to Youzhou and returned to his home where he had been for more than half a year.

    The whole family, old and young, and the whole city came to welcome them, and they had a banquet all day long. It is hard to describe the feeling of victory in the war

    On the second day, Zhao Xun got up early to practice martial arts as usual.  On the martial arts field of Prince Zhao's Mansion, Zhao Xun saw his two sons who were tiger-headed and tiger-brained.  The eldest, Zhao Rui, and the second, Zhao Heng, are both nine years old now, and they are already in their teens.  Because they live in a wealthy family, the two sons look very good and are as tall as an average boy of twelve or thirteen years old.  When Zhao Xun came, they were practicing martial arts with the soldiers of the royal guard camp.

    Zhao Xun looked carefully and saw that both sons were armed with long spears, and they were wielding them in a stylish manner.  In fact, the two people's marksmanship was quite exquisite. As the spears were swung, thousands of pear blossoms shone with cold light.

    "Father!"

    Seeing Zhao Xun appear, the two little guys immediately came over.

    "Not bad!" Zhao Xun said with a smile, "Who taught you your marksmanship? You learned it well! When you grow up, you will definitely??Good player!  "

    Zhao Rui said loudly: "Grandpa taught us! Father, are our marksmanship really good? Why does grandpa say we are still far behind?"

    Zhao Xun nodded secretly, knowing that what Zhao Rui was talking about was referring to Li Luobei.  Then he smiled and said: "You two little devils are really good at marksmanship, but that is at your age. If you want to become a master, you must study hard and practice hard. In addition, don't neglect your studies! Father!"  The king hopes that you are both civil and military, but not brave enough. Do you understand?"

    "I understand!" Seeing their father saying that their marksmanship was good, they both smiled and nodded.

    "Okay, come, let's practice shooting together, father and son. When you use a gun now, don't just focus on the moves. The moves are just to make your body familiar with the weapon. More importantly, you must practice the basic skills well. If you want to practice marksmanship well, just  Take apart the most basic moves and use them. Once you reach a certain level, you will be able to do it naturally." Zhao Xun said while instructing his two sons on the marksmanship. The martial arts arena was immediately filled with laughter from adults and children  ¡­

    Afterwards, Zhao Xun began to check the knowledge of his two sons.  Zhao Xun was away at war, and he didn't want his son to be neglectful and achieve nothing.

    Afterwards, Zhao Xun told his son his experiences in the past six months as a story.  On the one hand, it should be used to broaden the children's horizons, and on the other hand, some land management strategies have also begun to be handed over to them subtly.  After all, the person who will succeed him in the future will not be someone else, but his own son.

    ??The two armies are fighting against each other!  Although the two sons are young, they are still extremely interested in this exciting story.  While Zhao Xun was talking, they kept asking Zhao Xun various questions.  Sometimes, it was difficult for Zhao Xun to answer.  Speaking of the tension, the faces of the two little guys began to turn pale.

    "Father, these Turks, why do they invade us repeatedly?" Zhao Rui raised his head and asked in confusion.

    Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Because they don't know how to farm, but they don't want to go hungry, so they come to us specifically to rob. In order to prevent our things from being robbed by them, in order to prevent our people from being robbed  They killed, so my father wanted to completely defeat them until they were no longer able to rob."

    "These Turks not only plundered our things, but also slaughtered our people wantonly. Therefore, there must be no mercy towards them. Only by completely destroying them or annexing them can these hidden dangers be eliminated.  "Although I know it's useless to say this to them now, and they can't understand it.  However, Zhao Xun still gradually instilled some tough views into the hearts of these children.  At the same time, Zhao Xun also began to tell them the pros and cons of expansion.

    "Father, why can't we accept them? We can accept refugees from far away places, so why can't we accept these Turks who can't farm?" Zhao Rui asked again.

    Zhao Xun was slightly startled, wondering how a child of around ten years old could understand this.  But no matter what, he has begun to have his own ideas, which is a good thing for Zhao Xun.

    Zhao Xun smiled and said: "These Turks are different from us Han people. They will not be grateful. Unless we completely scare them, and we must have the absolute upper hand. Otherwise, once we weaken, they  They will immediately change from sheep to wolves and bite us."

    "Well, father, let me tell you a story. There was a farmer who saw a frozen snake in the snow, so he felt soft. He put the snake in his arms and used his body to warm it. But the snake  After it warmed up, it bit the farmer and injected venom into his body, causing him to die quickly."

    Zhao Rui and Zhao Heng said in unison: "This farmer is so stupid!"

    Zhao Xun said with a smile: "You all think farmers are stupid, right? There is no distinction between good and bad. In this story, we are likely to become farmers, and the Turks are poisonous snakes. You pity him now, but in the future, he  It will kill you! Before the Great Yan Kingdom, I don¡¯t know how many countries suffered from the bullying of the northern nomads all year round.¡±

    "When we are strong, they surrender. But once we are weak, they immediately turn into poisonous snakes and bite us hard. Once or twice, when we are strong, we can still resist the venom, but  When we are weak, it only takes one attack to kill us, so we must not have any soft-hearted thoughts towards the northern nomads."

    "Well, that's it! When Rui'er grows up, he will definitely wipe out all the tribes in the north!"

    "me too!"

    Zhao Xun laughed and said: "Okay, then learn about literature and practice martial arts!"

    In Prince Zhao¡¯s Mansion, Zhao Xun and officials from the Government Affairs Department gathered together.In the hall, preparations were made to formally issue the canonization edict to nine garrison envoys and three tribal leaders.

    Logically speaking, this kind of canonization edict can only be issued by the imperial court and the Emperor of Yan.  However, the Great Yan Kingdom now exists in name only, and as for the emperor, no one has taken him seriously for a long time.  At the very least, most people in the entire Zhao Jun territory did not take the so-called Emperor of Dayan seriously.  In their eyes, King Zhao is their lord and the supreme being of wisdom and strength.

    "My Lord, so far, the candidates for the Three Great Khans have not been determined. Especially in the west, there are no larger tribes coming to contact us. Therefore, the edict for the canonization of the Three Great Khans cannot be issued yet.  "

    After listening to Pei Yi's words, Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said: "Really, what's the harm? Let's canonize the nine Guiyi Bos first. In addition, send a message to the tribal leaders in the east and central part. From now on, they will  They can lead the army to conquer the west, and I, Zhao, are willing to exchange the captured livestock, horses and slaves for the food, arrows, swords, guns, salt, tea and other things they need."

    ¡°In addition, tell them that I will select the three best-performing tribal leaders among the participating tribes to be canonized as the Great Khan of the Three Tribes. They will be superior to all other tribes and enjoy the protection of my great Zhao!¡±

    Pei Yi smiled responsibly and said: "My lord, what a wonderful move! In this way, they can kill each other and weaken the strength of the Turkic tribes as a whole."

    Zhao Xun nodded and said: "One thing we should pay attention to is that the transactions with the Turks must be carefully controlled. What can be traded, what can't be traded, the Commercial Department must have a charter. I don't  I hope that after some trade, the Turkic tribes will really become stronger."
