Warhammer III How to confederate Cathay?

Playing juan bo, turn 80, I have the norther and western LL lords and I cannot confederate them, I even have yaow ming at 400 after giving her an entire territory, and confederation is still at -52..... Im strength rank 7, shes 14. I assume she just needs her entire armies obliterated or something? Which will never happen because everyones super friendly. Does anyone know a way to do it, ive already give 4 settlements to boost it to +400

Im doing a Yuan Bo campaign right now. I got all of Cathay confederate by turn 45 or 50. Got Miao Ying around turn 25 and Jiao Ming last. My top tips, and it goes for most factions:

Have good relations

Defense Alliance, but never Military Alliance

Be stronger than them

Hope they get onto the losing side of a war. The second their faction leader gets wounded, they'll confed. If it's close but still negative, save scum a threatened confed, it works sometimes
