Of course, there are always some people in this world who are not afraid of death! The further north the counties are, the more Hu people there are. Among them, Hu and Han are mixed, and there are many Xianbei people. In contrast, they are naturally more willing to submit to the Yan Kingdom.

As a result, some people chose to refuse Li Xin's surrender, preparing to wait until the arrival of the Yan army before returning to the Yan State.

But they underestimated Li Xin's will, and they didn't think about the comparison of strength between the two sides. How could Li Xin allow a time bomb to appear behind him when he was about to go north? In case he fights with the Yan army in the north at that time, and the backyard suddenly catches fire, it will be very bad.

Especially at this time, all the counties in the state have just been subordinated, and even the personnel have not been adjusted! If one place suddenly rebels, I am afraid that other places will follow suit and follow suit.

Therefore, for these guys who refused to surrender, Li Xin didn't bother to say much, and after persuading them once and not listening, he directly attacked.

The forts are good for defense, but not all forts are impregnable. With the vanguard already set off, Li Xin was not so anxious, and he could spend it slowly.

With the cooperation of the soldiers of the Huashan Army and the forces of the newly surrendered parties, few of these dock forts were able to survive. At the beginning, there were some short-sighted guys who wanted to resist stubbornly, but after breaking down several dock fort barriers one after another, no one dared to jump out.

So, on the sixth day of departure from Jinyang, Li Xin led his army into Yanmen County and rushed to Guangwu County in the south of Yanmen Pass. And at this time, a not-so-good news came that the vanguard of Murong Qian's army had already arrived in Daijun!

Murong Qian's soldiers and horses were divided into two routes, all the way west from Daijun to capture Lao County and Fanqi County. The other soldiers and horses directly crossed Daijun, and then went all the way west, preparing to go south from the Datong Basin to seize the two places of Vatao County and Mayi County further west!

At this time, there were a total of eight counties in Yanmen County, which happened to be four counties outside Yanmen Pass and four counties inside the Guan. If the other party achieves this goal, then Yanmen County is afraid that both sides will have half of it.

However, there is also good news here, that is, the soldiers and horses sent in advance have already arrived at their destinations on time. Yao Chang led 500 people, and after surrendering the 200 people who had previously guarded the bottle-shaped village, he guarded the bottle-shaped village with the strength of 700 people, and he had been fighting with Mu Yugen's army for three days.

The remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses, led by two generals, also took Loufu Pass and Yanmen Pass as scheduled. In this way, at least it can be regarded as an insurance, and Li Xin's heart can finally be put in his stomach.

The question in front of us now is whether to continue to advance and compete with the Yan army for the four counties outside. For this issue, the generals under Li Xin's command were about to quarrel.

"General, the opportunity is right in front of you, if you don't take it, I'm afraid you'll miss the opportunity in vain!" A deputy staff general thought that he should take the opportunity to go north and take it first.

"The Yan army is coming here, we are already short of troops, if we go further north, in case we encounter the Yan army, I am afraid that a battle will be indispensable. We have now mastered the Loufu Pass and the Yanmen Pass, as long as the enemy can't enter, it doesn't hurt to let it occupy the four counties outside the pass for the time being! Now the first thing, I think it is necessary to stabilize Taiyuan and other new places first! Another deputy general of staff took the opposite view.

"Yes, in addition to these places in Taiyuan, now the Northland is in the midst of a big war, and we should solve these wars as soon as possible! If it takes a long time, I'm afraid there will be problems in other places! At that time, even if we take down the entire Yanmen County, it will be worth the loss! "Another general is obviously also in favor of temporarily taking the defensive!

"There are only four counties outside the Guan, I said that I should take it first and then talk about other places!"

"No, we should stop there and settle down the new land first!"

.......

In the county of Guangwu County, everyone has their own opinions, which can be described as not giving an inch!

"Alright, be quiet! I've already made up my mind! Seeing this situation, Li Xin couldn't help but shake his head! However, this is also a good thing, after all, it is better for everyone to dare to speak up if they have an idea than to say nothing at all!

The discipline of the Huashan Army is reflected here, and the people who were still noisy and noisy immediately shut down and quieted down as soon as they heard Li Xin's words.

"I decided to stop there, and sent soldiers and horses to defend Loufu Pass and Yanmen Pass, so that the Yan army would not take a single step in the south! You must know that our current battle line is long enough, and the battles in various places are not over yet, so we don't have time to spend time with the Yan army! Moreover, there is no danger to defend in the four counties outside the Guan, and if we want to defend them, we must arrange a lot of soldiers and horses! Otherwise, it will inevitably be impossible to hold on. Rather than this, it is better to leave it to Yan Guo for the time being! In this way, on the contrary, many of their soldiers and horses have been restrained, and in the future, when we have our hands freed, we will come back to take them! Li Xin glanced at everyone and said lightly.

Now that he has already decided, the others naturally have nothing to say!

"General, if we stop there, what should we do next?" A staff officer asked, bowing down at this point.

"Send some additional troops to guard the Loufu Pass and the Yanmen Pass for me! In addition, while the Yan army has not yet arrived, I will find a way to clear the wilderness and move in all the people outside the gate who can move in! However, it's just the people, and everything else is left alone! After all, maybe we'll have to get these places back soon, but don't hurt yourself! Li Xin thought for a moment and ordered.

"Yes! The last will obey! The crowd hurriedly answered.

"In addition to that, I will arrange for troops to be stationed in each county. You should register the surrendered troops in each county as soon as possible, and then select a group of people from them and send them to Jinyang for training. The land of the annexation state is too big, and it is obviously not enough to rely on our current troops, so let them act as defenders first! After thinking about it, Li Xin continued.

This can weaken the strength of local forces, disrupt their forces, and transfer local troops and horses to other sides. Another reason is indeed to compensate for the need for guards.

As long as these people have been soldiers in the Huashan Army for a period of time, they should be able to change the minds of many people. This is also one of the sources of troops for the Huashan Army in the future, and at the same time, it is also a move by Li Xin to win the hearts of the local people.

Although for the time being, it is impossible for him to make major changes to the land of the annexation, but this military force must be prepared first. If this thing is left unchecked, it is easy to go wrong.

Similarly, as long as there are no major problems with the soldiers and horses, then it is unlikely that there will be any problems in other areas.

Of course, in this process, I am afraid it is not so easy. After all, it is unlikely that those local forces will easily hand over their military power. At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Huashan Army stationed in the counties will play a great role.

Subsequently, Li Xin began to arrange garrisons in various places, except for the passes facing the Yan army. In some key locations, such as Jinyang, Yunzhong County, Guangwu County, Yuanping County and other places, a relatively large number of garrisons were arranged.

Although Zhang Ping was submissive and qualified to participate in the proceedings, he was not qualified to speak. Therefore, except for the persuasion to surrender along the way, he basically kept his mouth shut, and quietly watched what Li Xin did on the side.

After watching it all the way, he himself had to admit that he was indeed inferior to Li Xin. Not to mention anything else, just by controlling the army, he is too far behind. Everything seemed to have become orderly in Li Xin's hands.

Seeing Li Xin's marching arrangement and planning in advance, he finally understood that he was not unjustly defeated this time.

"If I could have such foresight, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lost so badly!" At the end, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After arranging the next things, Li Xin immediately led people to the bottle-shaped village, ready to inspect the situation.

To the west of the bottle-shaped village is the Huren County of Yanmen County, and the two are separated by more than 100 miles, so this fortress can be said to be lonely. To the east of it is Guangchang County, which is almost a hundred miles away from the county seat.

When Li Xin arrived, Yao Chang was leading his soldiers to fight fiercely with Mu Yugen's army. Na Mu Yugen personally led an army of 10,000 to catch up day and night, but in the end he still didn't catch up! Therefore, after learning that the Huashan army had occupied the bottle-shaped village first, he was furious and immediately ordered to attack.

However, the topography of the bottle village is not conducive to their attack! Therefore, after attacking for three or four days in a row, I was unable to capture the pass! And when the soldiers guarding this place saw Li Xinqin leading troops and horses to support, their confidence naturally increased.

"This place, I'm afraid it will become a place of long-term confrontation with the Yan army in the future! When this time is over, we'll have to find a way to build a pass here! Standing at the pass, Li Xin looked around and said to the people around him.

At this time, there is no flat pass here, so there is no momentum in later generations. But even so, this place is still unobstructed, and occupying this place is like choking the throat.

"If there is a castle, it will be more convenient to guard this place!" Tu Qi echoed on the side.

"Write it down first! When it's done, remember to remind me! I'm afraid I'll forget it then! With that, Li Xin turned around and went down directly.

There shouldn't be much of a problem here, so he will go to Yanmen Pass and Loufu Pass to have a look. If nothing goes wrong, he'll be able to move on to the next step.
