That night, Shen Yunfan and others returned to Jiaozhou City and settled Zheng Wanyi.

Early the next morning, Xie Min and Hu Chun were very busy!

The barbarians came to surrender and declared their submission to the Southern Wei. So far, Jiaozhou has doubled in size, and the entire precipitous western mountain forest has been included in the territory.

Marriott's mother, Taya, took several elders of the barbarian clan to Jiaozhou City in person to hand over affairs with Xie Min.

The two sides agreed on the ownership of the land, and Jiaozhou ceded a part of the fertile land and horse farm to the barbarians, and correspondingly, the barbarians ceded a part of the mountains and forests to the Jiaozhou people.

In addition to the land, there is also an important issue with the army.

Since the two sides have made peace, there is no need to continue to maintain such a large number of troops.

Shen Yunfan personally disposed of it, the barbarian army selected 5,000 people, the Jiaozhou army selected 5,000 people, a total of 10,000 elite soldiers followed him to the capital and became the Southern Wei Dynasty.

Shen Yunfan knew very well that a war with Chuzhou was inevitable.

Therefore, these 10,000 elite soldiers will become the main force for him to face Chuzhou.

Then, half of the remaining Jiaozhou troops were disarmed, and they were given land and went home to work.

After this disposal, there are still 5,000 Jiaozhou troops left, which is enough to defend the border. And there are 3,000 people left in the barbarian army, which is not much.

Both sides obeyed Shen Yunfan, and naturally agreed to this disposition.

That night, Shen Yunfan found Xie Min, who was busy, and whispered, "You still have to do something for me."

"What's the matter?"

"Kill."

"Kill whom?"

"Jiaozhou Taishou, Zhou Tong, and Ya Ling are all close associates of Xu Kailin, the head of the household department, and they are dead, and Xu Kailin's power has collapsed. Therefore, I want you to get rid of all the other Xu Kailin people in the high-level of Jiaozhou."

"And who's going to take their place?"

"Of course you chose someone to take the position, you should know what I mean."

Xie Min swallowed his saliva and said, "Do you want to change your own people and include Jiaozhou as your own power?" The minister understands that the minister must be loyal to Lord Qincha!"

Shen Yunfan is a noble person to him, and he naturally wants to be attached to Shen Yunfan.

"your fart, the whole world belongs to the emperor." Shen Yunfan scolded angrily, "You want to choose someone who is loyal to the emperor, understand?"

"Understood, understood!" Xie Min hurriedly agreed, and there was still some strange meaning in his eyes.

In the Southern Wei Dynasty, various ministers were building their own small forces. This Shen Yunfan is obviously powerful, but he protects the emperor like this, which is quite rare.

Shen Yunfan nodded, and said bitterly: "You have done a good job these days, I will go back and ask you for a position of Taishou, you must be loyal to the emperor and run Jiaozhou well."

"Thank you, Lord Chincha, for your love!" Xie Min's face was full of happiness.

"By the way, you don't have to send someone to inform the imperial court of the battle situation here, so as not to alarm Xu Kailin, I will personally report the results of the battle after I return to Beijing tomorrow."

"Yes." Xie Min responded.

He was happy and completely forgot one thing, that is, he had sent a letter to the capital two days ago, which said that Shen Yunfan had let go of the barbarian leader twice.

He didn't know at this time how much misunderstanding that letter would cause in the capital......

Originally, according to Shen Yunfan's plan, after resting tonight, he would set off back to Beijing early tomorrow morning.

But he received a letter from the capital that night, which read: The envoy from Chuzhou is coming to Beijing, if Shen Yunfan's suppression of bandits is over, please return to Beijing immediately! Please return to Beijing immediately!

As the saying goes, the fewer words, the bigger the matter.

In just a few words, "The envoy from Chuzhou came to Beijing", Shen Yunfan realized that something was wrong. Could it be that Chuzhou is going to make trouble?

He didn't have time to hesitate, and gathered his troops that night.

Then there were 5,000 Jiaozhou troops, 5,000 barbarian troops, 2,000 royal forest troops, 1,500 bandit troops, and 3,000 war horses that came handily, and left Jiaozhou together.

Shen Yunfan sat in the carriage at the front and asked Marriott, who was riding a horse next to him, "Do you really want to leave your hometown and come with you in person?"

"That's right, my mother wants me to leave the mountains with Lord Shen and see the world." Marriott's attitude was respectful.

"Okay, then I have another fierce general in Southern Wei!" Shen Yunfan laughed.

At this time, he didn't know that there was something wrong with the express letter he received from the capital.

The letter was not sent by the emperor, but by Xu Kailin, the head of the household.

……

Beijing, Xufu.

Xu Kailin sat alone in the room and said to himself, "That kid wants to drag in Jiaozhou and accumulate military merits, so I won't let him drag it." Tomorrow morning, he will have to come back obediently."

"Tomorrow, I'll have to have some fun with him."
