"Jingcheng, Fengxiang Town, Luo Town, Lianshan Town, Hengchuan Crossing."

Ji Lie slowly planted the small flag on the big case. The cold wind penetrated through the narrow window, stretching the tongue of fire on the stigma and in the niche as long and slanted as if a swarm of snakes were dancing. The firelight shone on Ji Yeol's face, which was cold and resolute, and the expression on his face was calm and indifferent. The faces of the princes and generals gathered around the big case were cloudy, and they looked at Ji Lie with a little surprise, no one expected that he would be the first to plant a flag on the big case.

After planting the flag, Ji Lie stepped aside, ignoring everyone's gaze, what he wanted was these places, not much at all, no less. The big case is very big, and there are a lot of towns above, but after he inserted it like this, it immediately lost two percent, and those fluttering red bird flags were extremely eye-catching.

The fat man was unmoved, still with a strange smile on his face. However, the faces of those princes and generals were ugly, and at this time, their wine also woke up, and they looked at the cities and villages on the big case one by one, panting heavily.

The land is life, the land is powerful, and in the face of the land, these princes and generals widened their eyes, more excited and greedy than seeing naked beauties. Someone fell in love with Jingcheng, it was a middle-aged general, wearing heavy armor, with a thick beard, and a hideous wound on his cheek, pulled from the corner of his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth, which looked chilling, the man pressed his hands on the case, looked down at Jingcheng's position, seemed to think for a while, silently picked up the small flag and planted it. It was a white flag, embroidered with a black, winged snake, which was planted next to the Vermilion Bird Flag, one white and one red, which was particularly dazzling.

Ji Lie didn't speak, just looked at the fat man coldly. According to the covenant between Ji Lie and the fat man, Jingcheng undoubtedly belongs to Ji Lie.

Zhao Fat Man shrank behind the column head, the beating fire could not shine on his face, only on the top of his head, he took the fine-mouthed oil lamp handed by the soldier, took a closer look, frowned and said to the middle-aged general: "Jingcheng already has a master. ”

The middle-aged general said coldly: "Outside the Qingfeng Pass, if it weren't for the five thousand soldiers of my Xiao State who fought to block Chen Hou's way, the ultimate winner of this war might not be Zhaohou. ”

Xiao State is located eighty miles outside the Scorpion Pass, is a vassal state that is not even a hundred times a small country, they can take out 5,000 troops to support Zhaohou, it can be seen that they are the hardcore allies of the Fat Man, and in that interception battle, more than half of the 5,000 soldiers of Xiao Guo died, no matter whether it is merit or reason, it is not too much for Xiao State to take away a city.

The firelight licked the fat man's face, and the round face was squeezed into a ball, and I don't know if he secretly had an alliance with Xiao Guo, so he frowned and looked in a dilemma.

The princes and generals all smiled coldly, and several generals who were about to plant flags also stopped.

After a while, Zhao Fat Man seemed to sigh, wiped the sweat on his forehead, pointed to a town in the northwest of Jingcheng, and said, "This place is the city of boiling, the closest to Xiao Guo." This time, the soldiers of Xiao Guo fought bravely to kill the enemy, and their contributions were indispensable, and they deserved this city. ”

"No, when the last general comes, the king will have an order, and there will be no return to Jingcheng."

In terms of geographical location, the city is indeed the closest to Xiao State, and if the size of the city is concerned, the city is indeed much larger than Jingcheng. It stands to reason that this is a reasonable distribution, who knows, the middle-aged general still has a blue face, when the fat man wants to pull out the little white flag and plant it in the city, the scar on the face of the middle-aged general twitched, and his right hand grabbed the hilt of the sword.

The cold light shone on the face of the fat man, the face of the fat man was gloomy as water, and the general's sword was not completely unsheathed, but his eyes were extremely cold, and he looked at the fat man without concession. This is in the division of territory, the people here are either a prince, or a high-powered aristocratic general, and the fat man is also the leader of the princes' alliance, but the middle-aged general is a muddy man, if the fat man does not stop the hand of pulling the flag, maybe he will really pull out the sword. When the king is humiliated, how can the guards sit idly by? The two guards behind the fat man were about to draw their swords, but they were restrained by the fat man's eyes. Joke, this is on the territory, not on the battlefield.

The entire Xiao country is a hun people, Xiao is a small country, the national strength is less than 10,000, such a vassal state, such a national strength, can survive in this world of great contention, it is really a miracle. However, for hundreds of years, Xiao Guo has never been annexed, the reason is very simple, just on the word 'Hun 'Hun ', although it is not stupid, they know how to exchange Hun for survival, and use the sword in their hands and the blood in their chest to exchange for land. For the sake of the land, they regard death as home, and in order to survive, they are willing to sacrifice everything. Similar to such a hunky person, even Song Manzi was afraid of it at the beginning.

The little white flag was touched crookedly by the fat man's hand, and the middle-aged general put down his hand to press the sword, straightened it, and pressed it down hard. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Ji Lie, nor did he look at the fat man, as if there was no one around, and he only had the flag in his eyes.

Obviously, Xiao Guo only wants Jingcheng.

The scene was cold, and the princes began to watch a good show, even Ji Lie stood with his waist crossed, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, but the corners of his eyes flashed with a cold light. Yin Yong and Tiandei Qingye stood behind him, and Meng Qi, the world's number one swordsman, lazily leaned against the pillar, and the incomparably long sword gently slapped the chain mail on his waist. The big firebird was outside the house, on the tall ancient cypress tree. If it is really a fight, Ji Lie is completely sure that he can retreat with his whole body. Of course, a rush is unrealistic.

Who can cure this hustard?

Everyone looked at the fat man. The fat man's face was red for a while, blue for a while, and he squinted his eyes to look at Ji Lie. Ji Lie shook his head, Jingcheng is determined to win, with Jingcheng, he can pay off Jiang Li's debts, and with Jingcheng, he can accumulate the strength to cross the river.

The fat man was at a loss for a while, his face became colder and colder, and the atmosphere in the venue became more and more solemn.

At this moment, the fox marquis, who had been silent, spoke, he pinched the small flag in his hand, inserted it in the open space outside the scorpion pass, and inserted it on the scorpion pass, one flag after another fell, Jingcheng was firmly enclosed, and after planting the flag, he said slowly: "I want this land, this pass." ”

The crowd was shocked. You must know that the open space outside the Scorpion Pass is a barren land, and the village is like the stars in the sky, there are very few. The Scorpion Pass is in disrepair, in addition to the moss is the muddy mud, when Chen Guo is still there, it is still a little useful, now that Chen Guo is dead, the existence of Scorpion Pass is extremely embarrassing, whoever gets it is like a chicken, there is no meat to eat, it is a pity to abandon it. And in this battle against Chen, the Fox Kingdom contributed greatly, if there was no Fox Country and Yongguo to participate in the war, the defeated person would be Zhaohou, not Chenhou. Everyone thought that the Fox Marquis would compete with the Marquis of Zhao and the Marquis of Yong to compete for the capital of the Chen State, which was the most prosperous city in the Chen State, rich in silk brocade, and the Fengge City of Southern Chu was one north and one south, known as the Silk City, who knew that he had made such a choice. However, looking at the flags that surrounded Jingcheng as hard as an iron bucket, everyone suddenly realized that the Fox Kingdom and the Xiao Kingdom had a feud, eighty years ago, the Fox Kingdom was not as strong as the Xiao Kingdom at that time, who knows, at that time, Xiao Jun was not only arrogant, but also had a habit of abusing his wife, and he actually abused a delicate beauty to death.

Since then, the Fox State and the Xiao State have formed a mortal enmity, for 80 years, you often conquer me, in recent years, the Xiao State has been defeated repeatedly, because the Xiao people are brave, and the Fox Country will not be able to help the Xiao State for a while. Now, Xiao Guo wants to use Jingcheng to increase his national strength, if he teaches the Fox Country to take the Scorpion Pass, his meaning is self-evident, and it is obviously aimed at Xiao Guo. Even if Xiao Guo takes Jingcheng, the scorpion is locked, and Jingcheng is just a turtle in an urn. Not to mention business, it is difficult to garrison the army.

The middle-aged general saw that Hu Yu had planted the flag on the scorpion close, and the look on his face was so wonderful and exciting, and the green tendons on the back of his hand on the big case were beating, and he forced out a few words from between his teeth: "Huhou, don't deceive people too much!" ”

"Too much deception?"

The fox marquis glanced at the middle-aged general coldly, and then said lightly to the fat man: "Zhaohou, according to the merits of my fox country, it is not an exaggeration to have the Scorpion Pass and its eighty miles of land around it, right?" ”

The fat man was saddened and quickly smiled: "Of course, it's not an exaggeration." ”

The fox marquis said again: "What do you think is like this? ”

Without a powerful predator, the crowd will be able to share more and better, how can they disagree? Immediately, they all applauded, saying that this distribution was extremely reasonable, and even Ji Lie couldn't help but cooperate a few words. The middle-aged general of Xiao Guo trembled with anger and wanted to play tricks on the spot, but the fox marquis was not afraid of him at all, he just looked at him coldly, and his eyes were cold to the bones.

"That's it, Jingcheng is too far away from Xiao Guo, so it's better to stay close to the city."

In the eyes of everyone's ridicule, the middle-aged general had to lower his head, personally pulled up the little white flag, inserted it into the position of the city, and glared at the fox marquis fiercely.

The fox marquis sneered disappreciatively.

Next, the princes and generals divided the rest of the territory, and it was a fierce debate, and finally there was a fixed number, and the strange thing was that no one was competing for territory with Ji Lie anymore, and even the fat man turned a blind eye to Yokogawa. The Yokogawa ferry was originally a ferry port for the country. At this point, Ji Lie's territory has expanded several times, starting from Huifeng Town in the west, connecting to the sea, reaching Jingcheng in the east, and guarding the Liuyuan River.

Jingcheng and the three small towns finally fell into the bag, and Ji Lie breathed a sigh of relief.

Stayed at Scorpion Pass for another three days. Most of the princes and generals had already left, either returning to China to resume their lives or going to the newly acquired land, but only Ji Lie and Zhao Fat remained. The scorpion closed and changed a flag, it was a yellow flag, embroidered with a strange beast, the head of the beast was like a cow, the body was like a leopard, the tail was like a snake, and the back had two wings, which was a very divine horse. This is the symbol of the Fox Country.

The big firebird likes to squat on a high place, it squats on the sharp corner of the lord's mansion, and its neck is still wrapped in a wounded cloth, and from its eyes, you can see the hundred miles of plains and villages to the north, and you can see the Vermilion Bird flag fluttering on the Jingcheng to the south, and the merchants who come and go. The war was over, and the trade routes were back to prosperity. No one cares about the change of flags on the city's head.

In the past three days, the fat man was summoned to a banquet for Ji Lie alone, saying that he wanted to continue the old with Ji Lie and discuss the relationship, but the old one was continued, and the relatives were also discussed, but Ji Lie was sad. According to Zhao Fatzi, the relationship between Ji Lie and him is very close, because Ji Lie is his son-in-law, and this marriage was set twelve years ago.

This marriage shocked Ji Lie extremely much. Although the marriage between the princes is normal, but he is Ji Lie, he is a fool of An Guo, An Jun forced him to choose between life and death at that time was so ruthless, how could he arrange such a marriage for him?

Standing on the head of the city of Scorpion Pass, the tall arrow tower casts a long shadow under the cover of the setting sun, the soldiers walk in an orderly manner outside the pass, two sculptures of one article and one martial arts stand in the cold wind of Xiao Suo, Ji Lie pressed the hilt of the sword, looked into the distance, but his heart was at a loss, no wonder that Zhao Yun'er bit him to death, it turned out that she was his wife who had not passed the door, in the past few days, the brutal and willful Zhao Yun'er pestered him every day, which made Ji Lie annoyed, but the Zhao Fat Man was in a good situation, If it weren't for Zhao Yun'er being too young, he would definitely marry his daughter to Ji Lie immediately.

The fox marquis stood beside Ji Lie, and in the past three days, they have come close and signed a friendly covenant. Ji Lie was very grateful to the Fox Marquis for his secret help, if it wasn't for the Fox Marquis who took the Scorpion Pass, the middle-aged general of the Xiao Kingdom would definitely not give up Jingcheng easily. But Huhou said that this matter has nothing to do with Ji Lie, even if Xiao Guo wins the city, Scorpion Pass can still contain the city.

The sunset was submerged in the distance little by little, and the two young men standing at the head of the city stood side by side, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains stretching under them.

Huhou said: "The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is almost here, when will the senior brother leave for Yongdu?" ”

"Three days later."

Ji Lie replied, he had already discussed with Mr. Yin, although he was just a lord, not a prince, it seemed that there was no need to go to Yongdu to participate in the princes' alliance, but he had to go, the reason was very simple, Yin Lao was too busy to be alone, Ji Lie urgently needed talents, all kinds of talents. If you talk about talents, if Yongguo is called second, no one in the world dares to call it first.

"It's a small territory, but you have to try your luck."
