Chapter 131: Dividing Up the Two States
The Ningshui faction and the Bishui Pavilion have controlled Ninghe Prefecture and Qingshan County for at least hundreds of years, and their status is deep-rooted, and there are countless people who are loyal to them, so it is extremely difficult for each sect to occupy and digest the territory that originally belonged to the Ningshui faction and the Bishui Pavilion.
If they contain each sect, then the income from occupying the territory will be reduced a lot, and they will even have to keep throwing money into it, and it is possible to drag each sect down.
Lin Xiao's mind is now full of the historical process of various countries in the previous life, and he learned that the best way to digest a territory is to immigrate, migrate his own people, and wait until his own people occupy most of the population of that land, even if he really digests it, so Wang Dao's thinking is right.
However, there are countless articles to be done, and if you are not careful, the benefits of each family may be divided, so some things must be cautious.
"Dare to ask Senior Wang, our Tianyun Prefecture forces have moved into Ninghe Prefecture, Qingshan County, so what about those Lingshan Mountains in Tianyun Prefecture, and how to divide the benefits?"
"Naturally, it is used to cut, in this war, we have spent countless Xuanjing, Tianyun Prefecture has made great efforts, after the war, my Danyang Sect has no resources to reward them, then take the Lingshan territory to reward, the Lingshan Mountain we developed before, we gave up the share of several sects, and used it to reward the forces left in Tianyun Prefecture, and the Lingshan territory in Qingshan County and Ninghe Prefecture was used to reward the migration sect."
"My Heavenly Saint Sect has no opinion on the five spiritual mountains of Caiyun Mountain, but the Ghost Cry Mountain is not good, my Heavenly Saint Sect has invested hundreds of thousands of Xuan Crystals and countless manpower there, and it has just been produced, if there is no Ghost Cry Mountain, then the share of my Heavenly Saint Sect's Thousand Spirit Liquor will be drastically reduced."
"Master Lin, you occupy Bailing Mountain, Qiyun Mountain and seven or eight small spirit mountains, isn't it enough, your appetite will inevitably be a little bigger?"
"Senior Wang, that's what we deserve, in this war, my Heavenly Saint Sect broke through Qiyun Mountain and Bailing Mountain in a row, killing more than 1,000 enemy troops, which is more than twice as many as our own people, shouldn't we get these benefits?"
Lin Xiao didn't give in an inch, this matter is related to the interests of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and it must not be allowed, Bailing Mountain and Qiyun Mountain have some losses, and if you want to produce resources, you have to invest a lot of money and time, if there is no Ghost Crying Mountain, the Heavenly Saint Sect's financial resources will collapse first.
"What does Master Lin mean that we have not contributed to this war?"
"Senior Wang, this is not what Lin said, Danyang Sect has Danxuan Mountain, and there is Ningshui Sect Mountain Gate, and most of the rest of the third-order spiritual mountains in Ninghe Prefecture are also in the hands of Danyang Sect, and Tianhaimen will also get the Bishui Pavilion Mountain Gate, as well as the originally disputed state boundary mines, Hongshan Gate can naturally get one or two third-order spiritual mountains, this is a matter that everyone has acquiesced to before, Senior Wang, you can't chill our hearts."
"No one chills your heart, your Heavenly Saint Sect's territory has expanded three or four times, and the Spirit Mountain you occupy has far exceeded the existing Spirit Mountain of the Heavenly Saint Sect, why bother to pursue a small Ghost Crying Mountain"
"That's because Ghost Cry Mountain is extremely important to my Heavenly Saint Sect, since what's the matter, then my Heavenly Saint Sect is willing to exchange Qiyun Mountain for Ghost Cry Mountain. Qiyun Mountain is a mature second-order high-grade spirit mountain, and it is basically undamaged, far exceeding the value of Devil Cry Mountain."
Lin Xiao said lightly, but Wang Dao had some anger, because Lin Xiao was cheating, Qiyun Mountain was south of Bailing Mountain, if anyone took Qiyun Mountain, wouldn't it be within the power of the Heavenly Saint Sect and surrounded by the Heavenly Saint Sect?
In the entire Tianyun Prefecture, except for Danyang Sect, Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen, who dares to take this piece of land, but Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen will never make an enmity with Tianshengzong because of a ghost crying mountain, you must know that now Tianshengzong has five purple mansions, not like before, Lin Xiao is alone and difficult to support.
"I'll talk about the Ghost Crying Mountain later, a mere second-order spiritual mountain is not worth everyone to quarrel about, what do the seniors of the royal road think?"
"It makes sense, then let's talk about the spiritual mountain occupied by your three sects carefully."
Someone came out to relieve the siege, and Wang Dao also accepted it when he saw it, and then continued to discuss the division of interests, and it was basically certain that after this battle, the four sects would divide all the third-order spiritual mountains, except for the one of the Shanhe faction, Tianhaimen, Hongshanmen, and Tiansheng Sect, each family got one or two third-order spiritual mountains, as well as some second-order spiritual mountains with poor quality, and the second-order spiritual mountains with better quality were divided by the remaining five sects, and then some remaining first-order spiritual mountains or ore veins of low value were divided by the rest of the small sects and small families.
It can be said that through this carving-up, the forces up and down Tianyun Prefecture have swelled by more than two or three times, and the next thing is to depend on the ability of each family, to see who is better at management, and who can convert these spiritual mountain spiritual veins into resources to enhance their strength, and completely swallow these benefits.
"After talking about the benefits of dividing up the interests, the rest is everyone's responsibility, the Shanhe faction and those surrender factions are unreliable, they can betray Ninghe Prefecture and Qingshan County today, and they can also betray us in the future, so everyone must supervise them when developing their strength, and there is also the matter of liquidation, rather than let go of mistakes.
Don't underestimate the power of hatred, I've been traveling abroad for many years, and once the remnants of them escape, if they get some chance outside, and they come back after tens or hundreds of years, then we will suffer."
Wang Dao's words reminded Lin Xiao of the Bai family, and so did they, there were only six disciples left in the huge Chen Guo Bai family, and they were also disciples with good qualifications, and when they met such an opportunity as the Heavenly Sage Sect, they have now become three purple mansions, and it is estimated that it will not take many years for the family that occupied and slaughtered the Bai family to suffer.
Therefore, everyone dare not be careless about this kind of thing, we must cut down the roots of those sects, the immediate family members must be destroyed, and the rest of the relatives must also be dismantled and relocated, this will be a huge project, it may take more than ten years to complete, and there will be countless blood and tears during the period.
But everyone has to be ruthless, otherwise it will really be endless, so no one objected, but only did it more ruthlessly in private.
The general direction of the partition has been decided, and the rest is the specific division of the rest of the sects, Wang Dao also took out a charter and asked Lin Xiao and the others if they had any opinions, Lin Xiao took a look, this time the Danyang Sect did not disgust him anymore, and moved the Shanyang faction that had a grudge against him to Ninghe Prefecture, thousands of miles away from the Heavenly Saint Sect, out of sight.
As for the division of interests among the rest of the sects, Lin Xiao didn't intend to offend people, so naturally he wouldn't object, Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen were the same, they didn't want to fight in this matter, what they wanted now was to end the war as soon as possible, and then go back to lick their wounds to restore their strength and develop their power.
So only three days later, Wang Dao convened the principals of the major forces in Tianyun Prefecture for a post-war meeting, and first summarized the battle of the three states.
The Battle of Sanzhou didn't last long, and it took less than two months before and after, but the preparation time was several years, and the entire Tianyun Prefecture invested more than 10 million Xuanjing in an arms race, and the materials of these 10 million Xuanjing were basically exhausted.
In the war, Tianyun Prefecture also suffered more than 5,000 casualties, Danyang Sect, Tianhaimen, and Hongshanmen took on the main force, and the dead cannon fodder was also the most, each sect exceeded 1,000 people, and the number of disciples of the three sects decreased a lot again.
However, most of these are low-level disciples, and the sects are actually not very distressed, and they can be recruited again at any time, but six Purple Mansions were killed and three were seriously injured, so it is really distressing, even with Kaifu Dan, it is not easy for everyone to cultivate a Purple Mansion, like Danyang Sect, his Purple Mansion combat power is actually only six people left, three killed, two seriously injured, fortunately, Daogang Monk Langdao officially joined the Danyang Sect to make up for this shortcoming, otherwise the control of the Danyang Sect will inevitably decline.
The battle of Sanzhou was also extremely tragic, more than 15,000 monks were slaughtered by Tianyun Prefecture, 3,000 were from the Ningshui faction of Ninghe Prefecture, and the remaining 12,000 were people from Qingshan County, and two Daogang monks and more than a dozen Zifu monks were killed.
And this is still the data of the frontal battlefield, such as purging the remnants of the enemy, liquidating the remnants of the mortals who killed the monks and mortals, and so far, these things are still happening, and several spiritual mountains have been beaten into white ground, Danyang Sect estimates that in these few months, the casualties of mortals may exceed 500,000 people, if you count the subsequent events, maybe a million people are possible.
Now the total mortal population on the territory of the three states is about 10 million, and the casualties are one million, that is, one-tenth, without thirty or fifty years, this population cannot be replenished, and the pain caused by the war can be seen.
After the summary, it's time to divide up, Danyang Sect has already looked for them in private, and if there is a problem, ask it as soon as possible, maybe it should be, but when it is announced now, it will be impossible, whoever dares to show his teeth will get whom, so the normal meeting was very successful.
Even the matter of Ghost Cry Mountain has been solved, that is, Ghost Cry Mountain does not move for the time being, it still belongs to the nine major sects of Tianyun Prefecture, everyone has shares, and the spirit fruit produced by Ghost Cry Mountain is still contracted and purchased by Tiansheng Sect at a reasonable price.
After the partition meeting, the sect masters quickly left, and now that the war had just stopped, everyone had a lot of things to deal with, and there was no time to stay here.
Lin Xiao was the same, he quickly returned to the mountain gate of Bishui Pavilion and took away the partial master of the Heavenly Saint Sect, Lin Xiao asked the people of those small sects to go back by themselves, while he went to Bailing Mountain.
Lin Xiao stayed in Bailing Mountain for three days, leaving Bai Xixi in charge, in addition to her, there were also a hundred Zhantang disciples and two hundred low-level disciples.
When he arrived at Qiyun Mountain, Lin Xiao also left one hundred and fifty people, with Li Mingyang in charge, and as for the rest of the mineral veins in Lingshan, Lin Xiao also constantly sent people to garrison and collect them, preparing for future operations, and unconsciously scattered four or five hundred people, and there were only about two hundred people who really followed Lin Xiao back to the Heavenly Saint Sect.
Li Fengyue, who got the news in advance, held a triumphant ceremony in Gongmingfang City, which was extraordinarily grand, but it was also an activity to show off his muscles and deter those who were secretly young.
