Today is a beautiful day with a mild sun, but for the people in the northwest of Yunzhong County, such weather is not uncommon, and even tiresome.

If you are on the shore of Jingbo Lake, the willows hang down on the shore, and the sun and breeze will make people feel very comfortable. But on this seemingly fragmented land, I am afraid that only some sand and dust can be raised.

In the northwest of Yunzhong County is a large desert and Gobi, as well as the loess stone forest where Lin Yue and others walked at the beginning, there is very little water here, basically no crops can be planted, except for sorghum, there are also a small number of other crops.

Lin Yue has completely let go since he came to Yunzhong County, letting Ji Ya handle everything by himself, and he returned to Yuanzhou alone and moved his manor intact, with his current strength, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is overwhelming, but it is not a problem at all to use the earth spirit to uproot a manor and transport it by air.

Before, he was worried about the hard work of the girls in the manor, so Lin Yue just brought people over to settle down first. Now that he has handed over the Great Seal of Yunzhong Pacification to Ji Ya, he can live a small life with his left and right hugs again.

Ah Yun was born in the mountains of southern Xinjiang, and he had never seen such a vast Gobi, so he went out with Lin Yue to walk around, and the shallot leaf rue was naturally with her, and the lacquer carving feather was pulled out by Lin Yue.

A group of four people walked and stopped in the northwest of Yunzhong County. To be honest, there's not much to see here, it's all orange hues as far as the eye can see. Without the initial novelty, Ah Yun is also a little tired of seeing, and since he was a child in the humid south, Ah Yun is not very accustomed to the slightly rough environment of the Great Northwest.

However, at this time, she was attracted by the waist drum performance, and went to watch with Shallot, as a dancer, she has great enthusiasm for performing dances that are unique to any place.

Looking at the somewhat sullen lacquer carving, Lin Yue smiled: "What's the matter, are you still struggling with those things, you, you should really let go of all this, there is not so much complexity between me and Xiaoya." ”

As the patriarch of the lacquer carving family, there is absolutely no problem with the ability of lacquer carving Ling, since she really became Lin Yue's woman, she has been planning for Lin Yue, and these days she has secretly competed with the lacquer carving Yan who is loyal to Ji Ya.

But her biggest obstacle is not this little cousin, but Lin Yue, who thinks about herself. Lin Yue saw everything in his eyes, and he didn't have any other thoughts. In his opinion, it would be good for Qi Diaoling to enjoy happiness by his side, there is no need to earn some of what he has and what he doesn't, if he really has the heart, no one in Yunzhong County can resist, after all, all conspiracies and tricks can't compete with his absolute power.

Qi Diaoling said: "The Ma family's troops should have been stationed in the three states, and I am worried that they will have an impact on the Wanyue plan. "Since receiving the information that the coalition forces outside the Cloud Pass were dispersed a month ago and the Ma family moved north, Qi Diaoling felt that they were not good at coming, and they were coming to Yunzhong County.

However, Lin Yue didn't take this to heart, but felt that it was a good opportunity to hone Ji Ya, so he simply ran out with a few confidantes.

Lin Yue sneered: "Is there a greater impact than the entry of the Marquis of Lachu? ”

"Well, according to the intelligence from the south, this matter was caused by the poisonous queen Ye Meidie. ”

"This is not unexpected, such a big benefit is in front of them, of course they have to get a piece of the pie, otherwise how could Chu Hou die and not withdraw his troops. ”

"In this way, the Wanyue plan is imminent, shouldn't it be more important to sweep away the threat of the Ma family?

"It doesn't matter, not to mention how far the Ma family really wants to fight, the starting and ending points of the Wanxing Moon Project are in our hands, and it's not us who are in a hurry. I'm more worried about this than that. You see......"

Lin Yue slowly raised his hand, and some mist faintly appeared in front of his eyes, and then condensed into a few drops of clear water and landed on the dry ground under his feet. Qi Diaoling understands the strength of his pillow person, even if he creates a lake here, it may not be impossible. Just now, Lin Yue just used the most basic water spirit guidance technique.

Generally speaking, monks need to rely on the power of heaven and earth many times before their skills are completed, so the choice of cultivation places is very important.

Just now, Lin Yue slightly guided the water spirit in the air, if the white mist vapor had already formed in the south, it would be a big pool of water to the ground, but there were only a few drops here.

Lin Yue said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty was established for more than 400 years, it is not that no ancestors have thought of developing here, but all of them have failed, there must be a very special reason here, the terrain of the desert Gobi occupies forty percent of the area of the entire Yunzhong County, and the remaining sixty percent does not necessarily have much fertile land, and Xiaoya's difficulties in the future will not be less." ”

Qi Diaoling nodded, and sure enough, Lin Yue's westward trip this time was not simply to come out to play, but to actually investigate the geology of the western part of Yunzhong County.

……

Just after the Ma family's troops entered the land of Sanzhou, Ji Ya's army also moved over, except for leaving some soldiers and horses to keep their hometown, Ji Ya brought out almost 60,000, and 40,000 of them were new soldiers, this was the first time to go to the battlefield.

And the Ma family lost part of it in the battle of Chuanyun Pass, plus the garrisons of the original three states and the reserves transferred from Yandi, and Ji Ya was only 80,000. But these are the elite troops of the Ma family, whether it is to fight with the Marquis of Qi in the east, or to conquer Sanzhou in the west, or to go south through Yunguan to conquer the Marquis of Shu, it can be said that they are a strong army fed by one big battle.

Although there was not much difference in numbers, in fact, the Ma family's combat power completely crushed Ji Ya's side.

Despite this, the anti-war voice among the Ma family is still very high, after all, the losses in the battle of Chuanyun Pass are extremely large, and it is extremely unwise to have another big war in a short time. However, there is another remark in the Ma family, the power of Yunzhong County has been established, and sooner or later it will be a huge problem for Yan Di's henchmen, if they are still developing and defeat the other party's main force in one fell swoop, this is the best for the Ma family.

The land in Yunzhong County is barren, and the Ma family can't look down on it, but the army of the Yunzhong Military Region is strong, and the Ma family knows it, and they are not afraid of being divided and scattered in the past, but now under the leadership of Lin Yue, a strong pacification envoy, it is only a matter of time before they rise.

Now is the last chance, don't look at Yunzhong County, which claims to have 100,000 soldiers, but in fact, there are only about 40,000 really powerful veterans. This time, the purpose of the Ma family was not to conquer, but to make this neighbor suffer a great loss of vitality and not be able to recover within three or five years. It looks like the Demon Cloud Hainan Expedition back then.

During this period, the Ma family sent a letter to the Generalissimo Mansion in Yunzhong and informed the world, to the effect that the Ma family was invited by the Sanzhou scholars to enter the Sanzhou to exterminate the bandits. After settling in, the results were remarkable, and many bandits have been quelled. However, there are bandits in Changzhou, killing officials and wreaking havoc on the place, and even killing the children of the Ma family. Later, he was expelled by the Ma family's army, and after escaping to Yunzhong, he was absorbed by the Generalissimo's Mansion. Now Yan Hou has officially sent a letter, asking Yunzhong to calm Lin Yue to severely punish the Changzhou bandits and hand over the murderer of the Ma family's children, otherwise the Ma family will seek justice by force!

Strictly speaking, what the Ma family said is still the truth, aren't the so-called bandits the group of people in Wulonggou and Wohu Mountain? But it is impossible for Ji Ya to hand over them, after all, she is the boss of Wulonggou. The Ma family didn't expect Yunzhong County to hand over people, this matter was the same for everyone, and people would have gone all the way to it, otherwise they would have refused to contain it from the beginning. Otherwise, betraying the inmates for fear of power would be chilling to both oneself and outsiders.

In the face of the Ma family's public opinion offensive, Yunzhong County really suffered, and they have always been short in this regard. First of all, there are very few scholars in Yunzhong County, which is destined to lack their voice in public opinion. The second is that Yunzhong County has always been under the rule of the Taishi Demon Cloud Sea. Does he need public opinion? With his qualifications, in Da Zhou, he is completely following the law, or no matter how fierce public opinion is, as long as he speaks a word, there will be no other argument at all. Obviously, the newly arrived Yunzhong Pacification made Lin Yue not have such prestige.

And Lin Yue is famous, also because he killed too many nobles in the capital, according to the relationship between the Great Zhou scholars, it can be said that Lin Yue and the nobles of the entire Great Zhou have nominal blood feuds, and there are more people who look at him unpleasantly. At the same time as the Ma family spoke out, Shilin's comments were also unanimously unfavorable to Lin Yue.

But I didn't expect someone to speak for the forces in the clouds three days later, it was Qihou Yingrui who rushed back, he mobilized the influence of the Sun family in Shilin, and sent a letter to reprimand the Ma family, to the effect that as one of the initiators of the Yun-piercing army, the Ma family harbored evil intentions, not only to preserve their strength during the battle, but also to be the first to retreat, and there was no responsibility of a great prince at all. Moreover, the three state capitals of Changzhou, Quanzhou, and Danzhou were not originally the inherent fiefdoms of the Ma family, and the Ma family did hegemony in the name of suppressing bandits, and there was no more shameless person in the world than this.

As soon as Qi Di's voice came out, the first to follow up was Chu Hou, who was still passing through the cloud pass, and their words were also to reprimand the Ma family for treachery, and affirmed Lin Yue's merits in unifying the clouds.

This wave of operations made everyone dumbfounded, it stands to reason that there is some ambiguity between Lin Yue and Shu Hou, and Chu Hou and the Ma family were allies before, even if the alliance is broken, but what kind of operation is Chu Hou standing on the side of the enemy's allies and reprimanding the former allies?

And many small princes also spoke out, as long as they had some strength to speak, most of them also blamed the Ma family. After all, everyone allied because of righteousness, and in the end, they did not defeat the Marquis of Shu, so losing their hearts and losing face can be described as a slap in the face. In particular, the disgraceful withdrawal of some people is even more humiliating. But in the final analysis, it was the Ma family who was the first to withdraw, so these little princes played fifty steps and laughed and jumped up and down mentally, and there was only one core argument, it's not that we don't want to do justice, the Ma family of the two giants of the coalition army has run away, and we can't help it......

At this time, the two sons of Jindi, who were inseparably infighting, unified their arguments, supported the righteous actions of the Ma family, and accused Yunzhong County of being reckless, intending to dominate the north and forcibly intervene in the internal affairs of Jindi.

Since the death of the Duke of Jin, the land of Jin has fallen into civil strife, and they are surrounded by the Marquis of Shu and Yunzhong County in the north and south, and they are frightened by the ambiguous Lin Yue and Xi Ze Yaoshi. Now that the Ma family is fighting a war of public opinion, it is even possible to start a direct war with Yunzhong County, which is undoubtedly beneficial to Jindi.

And then the Marquis of Shu also spoke out, and was tortured by the princes' coalition for more than half a year, seeing that they are now spraying each other, Xi Ze Yaoshi said that it was a big show!

So the Marquis of Shu also reprimanded the Ma family, the Yunzhong Zhenfu envoy itself is a special official position, and the Yunzhong Military Region is also a special area established by the Taishi Demon Yunhai, Lin Yue's official position is sealed by the imperial court, and he has the right to encircle and suppress the bandits or co-opt them in the jurisdiction, the Ma family first crossed the border to intervene in Changzhou, Quanzhou, and Danzhou, and now it is outside Yunzhong County, and the rebellious heart is clearly revealed.

This is interesting, the Marquis of Shu and the Marquis of Chu, who were militarily opposed, actually unified their thoughts in the battle of public opinion and shouted for Lin Yue together. There really are no eternal enemies and no permanent friends.

Just when everyone was spraying back and forth for both sides, Wu Di also spoke out, and the writer was the brother-in-law of Xiao Qilin, the general of the Wu Army, 'Hongchen Smiley' Bai Ke.

He first affirmed the merits of the Ma family for many years in pacifying the place, and at the same time praised Lin Yue's achievements in the integration process of Yunzhong County, everyone is the princes of the Great Zhou, for the sake of peace in the world, there is no need to be tense, the Ma family suppresses bandits is a matter of course, but Lin Yue's reasonable integration is also the norm in the world, and wouldn't it be beautiful to reconcile with each other and return to their territories?

When the Ma family heard this, they immediately became angry, and they returned to their territories? Yunzhong County did not lose anything, didn't they come to the land of the three states in vain? Wu Hou's words made the local scholars in the three states very much agreed, and they also felt that the Ma family could go, otherwise this would really become a battlefield. At that time, there was no loss of the Ma family's fiefdom, and there was no loss of Yunzhong County, but the three states were in shambles, who did they go to reason?

However, in the eyes of most people, Wu Di's words are a panacea that no one can offend, and they have no substance. But with the withdrawal of the Wu army and the announcement of the crusade against the salt bandit Bai Jingcheng, everyone suddenly realized that they were waiting here......

Because the Wu army wanted to crusade against the salt bandits, they affirmed the suppression of the bandits, and because of the incorporation of the salt bandits, they also affirmed the practices of Yunzhong County. seems to be a piece of soup with mud, but in fact, Wu Di swept the Ma family and supported Lin Yue, and by the way, paved the way for his future actions.

And when Chu Hou learned that Wu Jun was preparing to take down the Yumi Water Town in one fell swoop when his army was in the Cloud Pass, he was not only angry, but also highly praised Wu Hou's righteous act of protecting the territory and the people.

He can bear this? Also withdrawing troops from the coalition army, the Ma family is treacherous and not a son of man, but Wu Hou is a peaceful place to save the Li people. It is not difficult for a discerning person to see what agreement was reached between Wu and Chu. In the end, Marquis Wu seized a piece of territory, and what Marquis Chu gained is still unknown......

In the midst of the noise, another two months passed. It was determined that there was really no possibility of connecting the alliance forces outside the Guan, and the Marquis of Shu once again mentioned that Jin Jue was the king of Shu, and at this time, Lin Yue was still hugging left and right in the northwest.
