Zhao State is a slightly special place, different from most small countries in Loufan's southern Xinjiang.

Therefore, Lin Ye's attitude towards Zhao Guo was slightly gentle.

The difference is that Zhao State was founded by people from the Central Plains, Song Jinhui, the emperor of Zhao State, was a serious Central Plains person, and the Song royal family of Zhao State was created by Dayu.

At that time, the State of Zhao was located in the north, and when the founding emperor of Dayu was invincible, the State of Zhao tried to stop Dayu from expanding to the north.

The troops of the two countries fought in the Yunzhou area. At that time, the capital of Zhao State was about two hundred miles away from Yunzhou City.

In a great battle, Zhao lost all his 160,000 elite troops and lost most of his power to resist Dayu's continued march north.

In desperation, they had to surrender to Dongbo.

At that time, Dongbo was still very powerful and could compete with Lou Fan.

The king of Dongbo at that time felt that this was an opportunity to revive Dongbo's glory.

So they agreed to Zhao's request and sent troops to attack Dayu. The Dongbo people planned to take the opportunity to seize the Central Plains.

As a result, they fought seven battles in a row, and Dongbo lost seven battles in a row, losing hundreds of thousands of elite troops.

Dongbo's vitality was severely damaged, and he was bullied like that. It had a lot to do with the fact that hundreds of thousands of elites who Dongbo thought were good at fighting were beaten by Dayu in this battle.

This battle also put Dong Bo at a complete disadvantage in the confrontation with Lou Fan.

Hundreds of thousands of the most skilled soldiers died in southern Xinjiang. Dongbo could only retreat again and again, and large tracts of territory were eroded by Dayu.

Later, after hearing the news, the Loufan people came to take advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation. Dongbo, who had already been seriously injured, was defeated again.

As a last resort, he surrendered to Dayu and was willing to be Dayu's vassal state. He only asked Dayu to send troops to stop Lou Fan from going south.

That was the first time Dayu fought against the Loufan people, and it was still at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Lou Fan didn't know the details of Dayu, and Dayu didn't know Lou Fan's depth, so neither Dayu nor Lou Fan dared to act rashly, and this battle was just a matter of touch.

Neither side made any effort, both wanted to see what the other side was capable of before making any plans.

At the very least, the million-strong army displayed by Lou Fan made the founding emperor of Dayu feel a little unsure.

At the very least, the armor and iron horses displayed by Dayu were indeed so powerful that the people of Loufan did not dare not to take the Yu army seriously.

So Lou Fan sent people to contact Dayu, and the envoys of the two countries met in Dongbo, northern Xinjiang, and the two sides signed a treaty.

Dongbo ceded about three hundred miles of territory to Lou Fan, but Lou Fan paid some military supplies to Dayu.

These two powerful forces ended the negotiation happily, each got something and went home happily.

I feel like crying but have no tears in winter.

But the Dongbo people didn't want to just admit it, so they gave the hundreds of miles of ceded land directly to the Song royal family of Zhao State.

Because before this, the members of the Song royal family had been waiting for a reply.

Dongbo promised them that he would return the territory of Zhao State to the Song family, and the Song family would become Dongbo's vassal state from now on.

But after the battle was defeated, that area had long been included in Dayu. The Dongbo people could not fight or take it back, so they had to pretend that they had not said anything.

The people of the Song family went outside the Dongbo Palace to beg and beg all day long, which annoyed the King of Dongbo.

It happened that a minister came up with an idea, saying that although we had ceded hundreds of miles of land to Loufan, we could still disgust the Loufan people.

The king of Dongbo called for people from the Song family to comfort him.

He said that although I couldn't help you get your territory back, since I promised you back then, I can't keep my word.

In the current situation, it is probably impossible to defeat Dayu, but we Dongbo people are willing to use our own pockets to support you.

I've given you hundreds of miles of land in northern Xinjiang, so you can go there and rebuild the State of Zhao.

When the Song family heard this, they thought it was a big deal.

But what can they do? They don't know that the Dongbo area has been ceded to Lou Fan.

Living under someone else's roof was not worth bargaining with the Dongbo people, so I really went to the north.

This land is really desolate.

The Loufan people want to save face, otherwise they would really look down on these hundreds of miles of land.

During this gap period, people from the Song family came and worked hard to re-establish the country.

After the news reached Lou Fan, Lou Fan was furious and immediately sent troops to conquer Dongbo again.

After Dongbo found out, he quickly wrote a letter to beg for mercy, saying that the matter had nothing to do with Dongbo and was arranged by the beauty.

After Emperor Loufan heard about it, he really believed it and felt that the beauty arranged this deliberately to disgust him.

This is how the Song family's luck came.

Lou Fan sent an envoy over, saying that since you were arranged by the Jade Lady to establish a kingdom here, then the Lou Fan Empire naturally cannot tolerate you.

But if you are willing to surrender to Lou Fan, this land will be temporarily lent to you to live in, and you will have to pay a certain amount to Lou Fan every year.

The people of the Song family dared not to listen, so they had no choice but to agree, and the Zhao Kingdom continued to the north of Dongbo.

Emperor Loufan did this because he wanted to go back in disgust.

He heard that the royal family of Zhao State were from the Central Plains, and he guessed that this was the reason why the beauty was open to Zhao State.

Don't you want to arrange a vassal state for Dayu in the north of Dongbo? Then I will take this vassal state over and see what you can do.

Moreover, after this matter was completed, Emperor Loufan also sent someone to deliver a letter of credence to Dayu.

The general meaning is, thank you Dayu for giving Lou Fan a vassal state. Lou Fan was very touched by such a great gift.

I just want to make Emperor Jade sick by doing this.

But His Majesty, the founding emperor, was a little confused after reading the letter of credence. He thought to himself: What was Loufan dreaming about? Did he take the wrong medicine? Or was he insane?

Now the Zhao country is once again at a critical stage of life and death, but they are still not the ones who call the shots.

Fortunately, it seems that Lin Ye is not that murderous, so the monarch Song Jinhui is not scared to death yet.

"monarch?"

Just when Song Jinhui was thinking wildly, Lin Ye suddenly called him. The sound was very soft, but it startled Song Jinhui who was distracted.

He quickly leaned over and said, "Master Protector, what are your orders?"

Lin Ye said with a smile: "Today the monarch's place is full of guests. What should the monarch say?"

Song Jinhui felt a pain in his heart.

Yes, the house was full of guests, and more than a dozen monarchs were captured alive by Lin Ye and gathered here.

If this is not a full house of guests, then within this area, there will be no higher guests.

"this......"

Song Jinhui stood up and opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say.

The dozen or so monarchs in front of them were all invited by Lin Ye, but the invitation methods were different.

Some were invited by the army after being defeated, some were invited by Huanglong who went straight to the capital and captured it, and some were invited by those who were frightened and surrendered before the fight was even started.

Lin Ye used a force of 15,000 cavalry to move vertically and horizontally, acting like a ghost, and completely conquered these dozen small countries in just three and a half months.

Speaking of which, this number is indeed quite large, but in fact the combined area is equivalent to one Yunzhou.

It was a joke to ask Lin Ye to lead only 15,000 cavalry to attack Yunzhou. Even 150,000 cavalry might not be able to defeat it easily.

However, Lin Ye did not have a great time fighting against these small countries with 10,000 armed elite cavalry.

What makes these small countries easy to fight is that more than half of them do not have complete city gates.

It's not that I don't want to build it, it's that I don't dare to build it, and secondly I can't afford it.

On a border as long as Dayu, city walls are the most common thing.

But in these small countries, and on such a plain, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to build defenses all around the country.

Furthermore, as a vassal state of Lou Fan, Lou Fan does not allow these small countries to build city gates, especially on the side close to Lou Fan.

Loufan people must be able to enter and leave these small countries easily without any obstruction.

Lin Ye felt that Lou Fan did a good job in this regard. He was able to fight so smoothly only because of Lou Fan's help.

Lin Ye's cavalry rushed into these small countries as if they were in uninhabited territory, and only needed a few reliable guides.

Of course this is not difficult.

For example, on the border of Zhao State, capture a few Zhao border residents and ask them if they know how to bypass the neighboring country. If they know, they will be rewarded. If they don't know, they will find a way to figure it out and then reward them.

As a result, Lin Ye's team can really be called elusive. Even if these small countries gather their teams, they can't find Lin Ye at all.

He may still be in Zhao today, but tomorrow he will be in a neighboring country.

For three and a half months, Lin Ye did not rush forward in a straight line at one breath, but alternated back and forth and even jumped horizontally repeatedly.

"monarch?"

Lin Ye saw that Song Jinhui had opened his mouth for a long time, but still didn't say a word, so he shouted again.

Song Jinhui quickly leaned over: "Don't worry, Lord Protector, I...I know what to say."
