"Your Majesty, Yulin Guo Zi and Wang Xiaoji, the general of the surrendered city of Tang Dong, are here to surrender."

In Cloud City, Li Junxian sent a piece of good news.

The Turks were trapped in the white mountain, crying day and night. Jieli repeatedly sent people down the mountain to ask for peace, but Luo Cheng refused. The Qin army did not attack strongly, but only dug trenches and walls, and besieged Jieli with deep ditches and barriers.

Now the Jieli army can't even get the corpse, so in the end they have to kill the horse and eat the meat.

The Turks slaughtered their horses with their own hands, crying as they killed. When he was eating meat, he cried with horse meat in his hands.

The Qin army under the mountain was unmoved.

When the Xiongnu besieged Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and finally withdrew his troops and let Liu Bang go, it can be said that this was a major decision-making mistake, and Luo Cheng would not commit it again.

"True and false?" Luo Cheng asked.

"It's really down."

Guo Zihe was originally Zuo Yiwei of the Sui Dynasty, but later committed crimes and was exiled to Yulin County. In the last years of the great cause, there was a famine in the county, so Guo Hehe and his eighteen companions who were exiled to charge the army captured the county Cheng, listed his crimes of not caring for the people, killed him and opened a warehouse to help the poor, and then recruited troops and horses, proclaimed himself the king of Yongping, and also established the era name to change the yuan.

Although he claimed to be the king, he named his younger brother Guo Zizheng as Shang Shuling, Guo Ziduan and Guo Zihua were left and right, in fact, they were self-reliant courts.

At the beginning, he had only 2,000 horsemen, so he declared himself a vassal to the Liang division, soon to the Tang Dynasty, and then to the Turks.

Jieli Khan began to canonize him as Pingyang Khan, but he did not dare to accept it, so he changed his title to Qu Lishe.

But soon after, Guo Zihe was defeated by Liang Shidu, so he asked Li Yuan for help and was named the governor of Shengzhou. But this governor didn't do it long, and the Hetao area of the Tang Dynasty was completely broken by the heirs, and Chai Shao's 100,000 troops were almost wiped out, leaving only more than 10,000 people in the east of the surrendered city to the north of the Yellow River in Shengzhou.

When Guo Zihe heard that Li Liang in Hexi had also surrendered to Qin, he united with his heirs to attack Xiao Pass, wanting to approach Chang'an.

On the side of Daibei, Jieli was defeated one after another, and finally trapped in Baishan Mountain, and the Qin army even occupied the side pass and arrived at the east bank of the Yellow River, across the river from Shengzhou.

Guo Zihe finally decided to surrender to Qin.

For him, Yulin is a barren land, where the land is poor and partial, the population is sparse, and its soldiers and horses are few and weak, and they are unable to compete for the world.

Now seeing that Da Qin had won the victory, he simply switched to Luo Cheng again.

He also knew that he was capricious, so he simply was ruthless, and on the pretext of sending food to Wang Xiaoji, he sent troops to deceive the city of Dongshou, and then killed Wang Xiaoji to seize the city of Dongshou, and then surrendered to Cheng Yanjin, the general of the border guard on the other side of the river.

"This kind of grass king in troubled times is really shameless and deceitful!" Xuan Ba scolded.

Luo Cheng has long been accustomed to it, Guo Zihe is similar to Li Liang, there is no shortage of heroes and heroism in the troubled times, they have a certain personality charm and talent, which can divide one place. But they don't have much of an ideal or talent, so they can only be divided into one place.

When the chaos in the world gradually dissipates, they are also anxious to take refuge in the final winner, but because of their limited vision, they often bet on the wrong treasure, so they can only be capricious and rely on the west.

Such people are not credible, but for today's Great Qin, there will be many such people, and accepting their surrender can save many things.

Of course, in order to prevent them from repeating again in the future, Luo Cheng thought that it was okay to accept their surrender, and he could also give them official titles, but it was impossible to keep them in the same place.

"Feng Guo Zihe was the founding marquis of Jinhe County, and General Zuo Xiaowei was named and summoned to the court to accompany him. Yulin civil and military, depending on their position and talent, will be awarded a knighthood and official position, and a new position will be awarded according to their talent. ”

For the original Guo Zi and the ministry, all his backbone henchmen must be transferred.

"Let Cheng Yanjin lead the troops to receive Yulin County and Dongshou City, Guo Zihe and the department, select two percent of the elite to be incorporated into the army, and all the rest will be dismissed and returned to their hometowns, and they will be given land for resettlement."

Guo Zihe wanted to stay in Yulin County, and even continue to lead his subordinates, but it was impossible for Luo Cheng to agree to such a request.

He can accept Guo Zihe's invitation to surrender, and he can also confer official titles on them, but he will not let them stay where they are and continue to have soldiers and horses.

This is different from the situation in Lingnan, where Ning Changzhen and others in Lingnan can temporarily hold the position of Taishou after being attached to the imperial court, and continue to command the soldiers and horses, but not here.

Luo Cheng will not continue to give these military leaders a chance to divide their territory.

If you want to surrender, show sincerity to surrender, otherwise, you will wait to be swept away, Luo Cheng has this strength and this domineering.

He is not Li Yuan, he went around recruiting rebels, and then wantonly conferred official titles, so that those people could continue to retain their territory and have soldiers and horses, Li Yuan did not have that ability, but he Luo Cheng did.

Cheng Yanjin led the elite Qin army, crossed the Yellow River with the emperor's will, and arrived in Yulin after the edict, Guo Zihe was not very satisfied, but he did not dare to refuse, and finally under Cheng Tijin's strong requirements, he had to hand over the soldiers and horses, and then with a group of backbones under the escort of the Qin army, he went to Yunzhong County to meet the Son of Heaven, and thanked him for receiving the title.

Lao Cheng also unceremoniously dismissed Guo Zihe's rabble, and finally only retained 2,000 people, broke them up and incorporated them into the battalions under his command, and the rest were all sent a sum of money and food to return to their hometowns.

As for the Guanzhong soldiers from Guanzhong, Wang Xiaoqi and his subordinates, Lao Cheng only selected 1,000, and the rest were all classified as the people of Tuntian in the Eastern Surrender City, and they were given land and cultivation.

The siege of the White Mountaineering continues.

However, the emperor has begun to adjust the deployment of the army, Cheng Yanjin led the army to receive Yulin County and Dongshou surrendered city, and stationed in Hetao Wuyuan County, he commanded the soldiers and horses of Wuyuan County and Yulin County, and was responsible for the local tuntian.

Luo Siye was stationed in Lingwu County and Huining County, commanded the soldiers and horses of the two counties, and became the marching marshal of the 100,000 allied forces with Li Liang.

Xue Wanche was responsible for the defense of Dingxiang County and Wuchuan, and organized his subordinates to cultivate the fields on the spot.

Zhao Gui was in charge of Zhuojun and Huaihuang.

The Qin army has not only been confined to the Yunzhong area, hundreds of thousands of horses, began to spread, stationed in the northern Xinjiang counties, although the soldiers of various provinces have not begun to disband and return to their hometowns, but they have begun to defend while the local army is self-sufficient.

Even the Qin army in the big camp of Yunzhong County has started to camp in Yunzhong, Yanmen and other places.

Feng Xiaoci's department, after taking Lingqiu, only left 5,000 people to garrison Lingqiu, and then the remaining 50,000 troops retreated to the east of Taihang Mountain, and were stationed in Shanggu, Weibo, Hengshan, Zhaojun, and Xiangguo counties.

These adjustments greatly reduced the pressure on the logistics of the Qin Army's Northern Expeditionary Army, but the pressure on Jieli, Li Yuan, and Dou Jiande did not decrease in the slightest.

Jieli tried to break through several times, but was stopped by the deep ditch barrier of the Qin army under the mountain, and lost many soldiers and horses, but returned in vain. Although there was spring water in the mountains, the weather gradually became cooler, and the Turkic horses ate less and less.

If this continues, sooner or later they will die of hunger and cold.

"Your Majesty, Jieli requests to meet and talk with Your Majesty at the foot of the mountain!"

"Jieli thinks that he is the oldest, so what qualifications do you have to meet with me? Tell Jieli that he has no other choice but to surrender directly or wait for death! Luo Cheng snorted coldly.

Now Luo Cheng is not in a hurry, with the summer food supply, Luo Cheng can fully support until next spring, but Jieli will not be able to last at that time.

Although he had many horses, there was not much grass to eat in the mountains, and his horses were rapidly decreasing, and if he was trapped for a while, the Turkic horses would all starve to death if they did not finish eating, and they would no longer be able to gallop around.
