In fact, there is no need to think about it at all, after all, the reality is already very clear in front of you. Even if Shan Nan was still a little hesitant in his heart, at this time, the generals and staff around him all persuaded him to surrender because of their own interests. Under such circumstances, Shan Nan had no choice, and after only thinking about it for less than half an hour, he led the officials and soldiers in the city to open the city gate and surrender to Li Xin.

Li Xin personally met with him, and said a few words of relief, which calmed their hearts. For the time being, Shan Nan will stay here, but when the officials transferred by Chang'an are in place, he will be transferred.

It can't be said that Li Xin is too cautious, since he accepts other people's submissions but doesn't trust them. It's just that this place in Shanggu is too important, and in terms of the ability of a single man, he is not suitable to stay in such a place.

Otherwise, once the Yan State launches a large-scale counterattack in the future, I am afraid that he will spoil the major affairs of the Tang Army.

And with the news of Shannan's surrender, not to mention the other remaining counties, they all surrendered directly one by one.

The Tang army was stationed in it, and the army took over these county seats, and it will temporarily enter a state of military control, which will not end until the rear officials are in place.

At the same time, for these obedient Yan soldiers, Li Xin reorganized them on the spot, but if they were not suitable candidates, they were directly sent home. If there are people in need at home, directly distributing part of the rations to them is not only an act of benevolence and love for the people, but also a way to stabilize the place.

As a result, although Fang experienced the war, the two counties quickly regained stability.

A few days later, Li Xin personally rushed to inspect the two passes in the military capital.

"After this trip, I deeply feel that the key to this military capital is very important. Now that we've taken this place, we're going to have to defend it. Liao Chuan, from today onwards, you will sit in the county seat of Fuyang County, and this military capital will be handed over to you! After the inspection, Li Xin said to the generals around him.

"Your Highness, rest assured, even if you die, the last general will live and die with the military capital!" Liao Chuan hurriedly assured.

Liao Chuan was originally responsible for the defense of the entire annexed state, but now the territory of the Tang army has expanded, especially after this battle, the number of counties outside Yanmen Pass has greatly increased. Correspondingly, the dangers are much higher.

Therefore, moving Liao Chuan from the original Guangwu County to this Fuyang County can be convenient for controlling the war here at any time. On the other hand, because of his identity, he can form a deterrent and pressure on Yan County and other places in the south, which makes Yan Jun have a lot of scruples.

In addition, Li Xin had already planned to let Shao Zisong garrison his hometown of Guangchang County, and Liang Cheng had already moved to his hometown of Pingcheng County, so that basically the three of them formed a defense line to the north and west.

Whether it is to defend the country or the grassland tribes, as well as to put pressure on the Yan army, it can play a very good role.

"For the rest of the day, you're going to stay here and leave nothing else. This army is too important, presumably the Yan army will not be willing to be taken down by us. Perhaps, in a few days, they will attack in a big way to retake this place. You mainly need to defend the Jundu Pass and the Juyong Pass, and as for the outside place, let's not touch it for the time being, understand! Nodding, Li Xin specially explained.

"The last general understands that he must pay close attention to the enemy's movements."

In fact, it was just as Li Xin expected, after the soldiers who fled from the military capital in Yanjun and other places learned about the battle situation, they immediately became anxious.

On the one hand, the Taishou of Yanjun and the Taishou of Yuyang ordered the counties under their rule to close the city gates to guard against the Tang army, but on the other hand, they sent people to rush to the follow-up army to the north to inform them of the incident.

The army of Yan going north had already arrived in Liangxiang County of Fan Yang State at this time, and it was not far from Ji County. When the generals who led the troops heard the news, they didn't know what to do for a while.

After all, the task of leading the army north was to rescue the two counties of Guangning in Shanggu, and now that the military capital has been lost, it is obvious that he will not be able to pass.

In this case, wouldn't it be in vain to go? There was no way, so the general who led the army had to stop the army first, and then send a fast horse back to the court to report the news and ask for instructions from the imperial court.

After hearing the news, Murong You, the king of Fanyang, and others had to divide part of the soldiers and horses that were originally arranged in the two places of Wuruan Pass and Changshan Pass, and arranged them at the junction of Fanyang State and Yanjun in preparation for the Tang army to go south.

The fast horse galloped all the way south, straight into Yecheng, and reported this battle report to Murong Ke's hands.

At that time, Murong Ke was dealing with political affairs in the official office, and after hearing about it, he was speechless for a long time, and he didn't even realize that the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"Immediately send an order, order the king of Shangyong, Murong Ping, to take over the army, go north immediately, and definitely take the general Ducheng back!" After a long time, Murong Ke said in a deep voice.

He didn't discuss it with anyone else this time, and he was kind of arbitrary. After this order was issued, he sent someone to gather Yang Lu and the others together, and then came to discuss the war.

"The war is here, and the country is in danger! Although there are 100,000 troops in Youzhou, I still feel uneasy. Since the start of the war this year, we have been caught between the Tang Army and Huan Wen, which has been a serious drag! If we want to settle this difficulty, I'm afraid we have to solve one of them first! After everyone heard the news, they couldn't help but look solemn, and after a long time, Taiwei Fengyi said slowly.

In the past, everyone didn't take the matter of the two sides to heart. After all, at the beginning, the Tang army sent only 30,000 troops.

As long as Murong Ping can keep them in the Daijun area, it will be harmless.

Even if Murong Ping was defeated later, as long as Pingxi could block the Tang army to the west of the second county of Shanggu in Guangning, there would not be much threat to the Yan State.

However, after the two battles were in front of them, they realized that they had underestimated this Tang army at the beginning.

Otherwise, we would not be in the situation we have today.

"Although the Tang army is small, it is fierce and unstoppable. At the same time, the Tang army was united, and Li Xin led the army like an arm, and it was indeed a strong enemy. On the other hand, the Huanwen army, although there are many people, but the soldiers and generals are different, and each army will have their own calculations, and its combat power is much inferior to the Tang army! After thinking for a while, Murong Ke analyzed.

"What Dazai-sama means is that we have to deal with Huan Wen's soldiers and horses first, right? If this is the case, I am afraid that it will not be possible to rely on the existing forces on King Wu's side! When Yang Lu heard this, he understood a little.

"King Wu is wise and has the ability to be a general! This king sent an order to him and asked him to do what he wanted, and at the same time, the emperor who was in Luoyang really cooperated with him. Presumably, King Wu will not let us down. As long as his side stabilizes the situation, we can free up our hands to deal with the threat from the north with all our might. Murong Ke nodded, but did not say anything about the increase in troops.

What he meant, in fact, in the final analysis, is to pick up the soft pinch of persimmons, and first solve the Jin army that is not capable.

"If we can stabilize the battle situation in Henan, Xingyang and other places first, we will be able to reduce a lot of pressure. However, during this period, there must be no accidents in the north. If King Wu's side has not stabilized, but Yanjun and other places have been lost, everything will be in vain! Yue Wan reminded on the side.

"That's natural, this king has already ordered King Shangyong to take over the Pingxi army and start storming the military capital. First, it was to recapture the land of the military capital, and second, it was also to temporarily attract the attention of the Tang army. In that case, Li Xin won't have the energy to think about going south, hoping to win us a while! Murong Ke sighed and said leisurely.

Hearing his arrangement, everyone couldn't help but nod secretly. It can be said that this is already the most appropriate arrangement at present, it only takes ten days and half a month, and maybe everything will be reversed.

After several people discussed, they soon issued a decree in the name of the imperial court to Murong Chui, who was fighting fiercely in Chenliu and other counties. After receiving this edict, Murong Chui knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he began to get busy.

On Huan Wen's side, after hearing the news of Li Xin's big victory in the north again, he felt a little bit of a desire to win. It's just that if he knew Murong Ke's evaluation of himself, he didn't know if he would be even more angry.

As a result, the battles between the Jin army and the Yan army began to become more numerous, and Huan Wen was bent on defeating Murong Chui, or rushing back to the north directly.

In short, his idea is to restore the border between the two countries to the way it was before as soon as possible. At this time, the time has entered the summer, and the water level of the rivers in various places has risen a lot, which is a very beneficial thing for Huan Wen.

And just when these two sides were sharpening their knives and wanting to swallow each other, Murong Ping finally led the army to rush outside the military capital pass.

This time, he finally did not dare to rush forward lightly, and as soon as he arrived, he immediately set up camp first, and then divided the army into several parts.

Every day, he sent 10,000 troops to attack Jundu Pass in turn, hoping to take advantage of the numerical advantage to drag down the defenders at the pass.

However, at this time, Liao Chuan had already personally rushed here to sit down, and in the valley road north of the military capital pass, there were still 3,000 reinforcements.

Therefore, although the two sides are fighting very fiercely, in fact, both sides are rotating people. Therefore, after a few days of fighting, the army was closed with piles of corpses, but the Yan army was never able to cross the pass one step, let alone recapture the pass.

At the beginning of the war in the military capital, Li Xin was no longer in Shanggu County, and at this time he had begun to return and came to Zhangjiakou in the later generations. This place is located at the junction of the old and new Great Wall, and in the past, it was an important frontier point.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu to the ground, I'm afraid this place would still be the main route for the Xiongnu to go south. Although the county system in this place has been abandoned for many years, it is because the Central Plains Dynasty is unable to maintain it, which is not to say that it is not important.
