Seeing the withdrawal of the 20,000 troops under the valley, Li Yao also knew that they had also received the information that King Yi was in chaos, Li Yao now felt that life was leisurely, and so far, Li Yao had not encountered a major war, which made Li Yao a little regretful!

Seeing that King Yi is in chaos, Li Yao estimates that there will be no war in the near future, and now the lord of Yiguo is not yet clear, and the generals generally will not attack without authorization!

It's just that the situation in Yiguo is really a headache now, the war in the south is stalemate, and the 50,000 bandit army led by the young general is undoubtedly a huge force, and now that King Yiwang is dead, will they still attack the southern bandit army?

Thinking that Yang Yun was appointing young generals to lead the 50,000 bandit army, thinking that the 50,000 bandit army would definitely support Yang Yun, Li Yao still thought that the southern bandit department was Yang Yun's people, and now he found that as long as the 50,000 bandit army supported Yang Yun, Yang Yun would be enough to take the capital of Yiguo.

Sure enough, just like Li Yao thought, as soon as the palace of Yiguo Guodu fought, the 50,000 bandit army returned, and after receiving the information that the 50,000 bandit army had returned to the royal capital, the eldest prince Chen Jin already knew that he could not be defeated, so he fled to his own sphere of influence in the west with his mother.

King Yi fell into the hands of Yang Yun, the seventh prince ascended the throne the next day, 20,000 neutral city guards also had to support Yang Yun because of money and food, and now there are four forces in Yi Guo, one is the seven princes headed by Yang Yun, 50,000 bandit troops plus 20,000 neutral city guards plus 20,000 border troops on the border, a total of nearly 100,000 troops, and one is the power of the eldest prince Chen Jin, because the army was defeated in the national capital. fled to his own sphere of influence in the west, so the army was not much, only more than 20,000 people, but the eldest prince controlled more than a dozen county seats, and each county had 3,000 city guards, so the total strength of the eldest prince was more than 50,000 people. The third force is the southern bandit army, and the southern bandit army has not stopped its activities because of the arrival of the bandit army! The bandit army is like a sculpture, the attack is not active at all, and it is not until the bandit army returns to the national capital that people know that the bandit army does not take the initiative to suppress the bandits is preserving its strength!

The fourth force is Li Yao's forces, because Li Yao guards the natural danger, coupled with the advanced weapons, although there are not many troops, but the threat to Yiguo is still very great!

Because it was the seventh prince who became the king of Yi. Yangyun carried out a big purge for his own needs, and the officials of the eldest prince's family were basically beheaded, and Yiguo is already Yangyun's world!

The war was stopped on the first day that Yangyun took control of Yiguo, and Li Yao's peace talks were allowed to take place, and he also sent envoys to the southern bandit army to conduct peace talks!

Li Yao was taken aback when he saw the envoy from Yiguo, who explained that through Li Yao's request, he agreed to cede the three northern counties and provide 1.5 million quintals of grain every year. 150,000 taels of silver!

This made Li Yao happy, and Li Yao's current army was particularly lacking in training. Moreover, the three northern counties are absolutely not firmly controlled in their hands, with this peace talk, Li Yao can manage the three northern counties openly, and he can also train the army well!

At the same time, the southern bandit army also negotiated peace with Yangyun, and negotiated the following conditions, ceding the five southern counties. Every year, two million quintals of grain and three hundred thousand taels of silver are supplied.

The war between the north and the south was mediated, and Yang Yun gathered 60,000 troops to recruit Chen Jin, the rebellious prince of Yiguo, and Chen Jin also saw Yang Yun's wolf ambitions. Only by completely killing the eldest prince can the seventh prince sit on the throne of King Yi forever, and Yangyun can better control Yiguo, as for the peace talks, it is just a pretext, use the peace talks to drag the north and the south, drag the forces of the great prince to the annihilation, and it is time to attack the forces of the north and the south!

Li Yao also saw Yang Yun's thoughts, but this was also in his own interests, so he accepted it!

After another half a month, the route from Qi to Yi was blown up.

On the day of the explosion, Wang Dazhuang sent someone to inform Li Yao, Li Yao was surprised and delighted when he heard the news, and hurriedly ran to Beishan Village with the guards!

When he came to the military station, Li Yao saw the craftsman king and said, "Grandpa, you are here!" ”

When the craftsman king saw Li Yao coming, he said with a smile: "The road has been blown up, I have experimented with it, every day it is just a daytime march, and I can let 10,000 troops pass here!" ”

Li Yao clapped his hands and said: "That's great, every time you march a division, you can assemble them all in ten days!" ”

The craftsman king asked, "Is the situation in the three northern counties okay?" ”

Li Yao also knew what the craftsman king was asking, so he said: "King Yi is now the seventh prince Chen Fang, and the actual controller is the eunuch Yang Yun!" A while ago, because the situation in Yidu changed greatly, Yangyun sent an envoy to negotiate with me and agreed to cede the three northern counties to me, so I am now the rightful ruler of the three northern counties! ”

The craftsman king touched his beard and said with a smile: "It's good to be right, and it's easy to belong to the people!" ”

Li Yao also nodded and said: "Grandpa, I now feel that it is really too troublesome to manage the county well, and I need talents too much!" ”

After hearing this, the craftsman king also pondered, and said slowly: "Through my observation, Yixian County ordered Song Boming to manage the county seat, you can ask him to recommend some people to you, and it should be no problem to manage the three northern counties well!" ”

Li Yao also nodded and said: "I think so too, and I want to shift my focus to the three northern counties now, and the three northern counties are a stable rear."

The craftsman king shook his head and said: "Hou Ye, I don't think so, although the three northern counties are good, but only geographically, the three northern counties are surrounded by mountains, although it is not easy for outsiders to attack in, but it also restricts our development, but Yi County is different, although Yi County is a Gobi that cannot be seen to the west, but it can also prove that Yi County can be developed to the west!" ”

Li Yao asked: "But Yi County is in the territory of Qi after all, if one of the eldest brother and second brother obtains the throne of Qi, will my Yi County ......?"

King Craftsman smiled: "Master Hou, didn't you ask me to strengthen the defense of Yi County just to defend against them!" Let's take Yi County as the front station, if we need to do anything to Qi Guo at that time, Yi County will definitely be a good springboard! ”

Li Yao also knows the importance of Yi County to himself, Yi County is his own fief, even if the eldest brother and second brother become the king of Qi, their fief is still their own fief, and the fief is inviolable, if they target themselves, Li Yao doesn't mind taking action against Qi through Yi County!

Li Yao looked at the craftsman king, who had been working for more than a month, and knew that the craftsman king was tired, so he said: "Grandpa, let's go to Yu County to live first, you can also rest for a while, and when the army is over, you are going back!" ”

The craftsman king also wanted to see the landform of the three northern counties very much, so he agreed!
