The blind man took the map and looked at it for a while, and said uncertainly: "This is the map of the three northern counties?" ”

Li Yao nodded with a smile and said, "How about it, the painting is okay!" ”

The blind man nodded hurriedly and affirmed, "The painting is very good!" It's easy to see at a glance! ”

Li Yao smiled: "Do you like this map?" ”

The blind man nodded.

"If you like it, you can take this map!" Li Yao said.

The blind man happily prepared to get this map, but Li Yao pressed on the map and said, "Blind, this map is not for you, I want you to change it!" ”

The blind man wondered, "What do you exchange it for?" Big brother, don't you know what I have? Just take whatever you want, and be polite to me! ”

Li Yao said: "You really don't have this thing I want, so I want you to get it!" ”

The blind man said solemnly: "Big brother, what do you want, I'll find it immediately!" ”

Li Yao pointed to the east and said, "I want a map of the surrounding areas of Shitai County in the east!" ”

The blind man understood Li Yao's intentions and said, "Big brother, do you mean that we are going to attack Shitai County?" ”

Li Yao nodded and said: "That's true, Shitai County is an important checkpoint for the country, we must take him!" ”

The blind man asked: "Big brother, but Shitai County is hundreds of miles away from us, and there are nearly ten county towns in the middle, and the nearest place is only a hundred miles away from King Yi, how can we march there!" And there is Yangyun's power, and there are no less than 20,000 elite defenders! We're not going to fight! ”

Li Yao said: "We must take this Shitai County, as long as we take Shitai County, more than ten counties in the northeast of Yiguo can be completely controlled!" At that time, our forces will be able to compete with Yang Yun! ”

And I asked you to scout Shitai County first because Shitai County is too difficult to take, so I let you scout first, as for the more than ten county towns along the way, I believe that as long as the army arrives. They will open the door and surrender!

The wealth of Bashu is known to the world, and Li Yao is also ready to occupy Yiguo quickly, otherwise he will occupy it when the national strength is almost consumed, and then it will be a loss, and now Yangyun has raised an army of 300,000 without seeing any pressure, so we can know how much money Yiguo has!

It's just that it is precisely because of the ease of defense and the difficulty of attacking that Yiguo has become rich. There is no war, there is no need to work the people and lose money, the people can rest and recuperate, and spend five years safely, as long as the hard-working people can live a well-off life, but the shortcomings of no war are still very big, once people get rich, they will have ambitions, if they are not controlled. Corruption breeds!

Yiguo is not a troubled place, and the people have been recuperating, but because of Yangyun's greed for money, many people can't even afford to eat, and no one dares to plant fertile land because of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes!

Therefore, when Li Yao explored more than ten counties in the northeast, he found that the fertile land was barren, which was really a great waste, and Li Yao advocated taking these places first for the sake of these fertile fields. As long as there is good land, there is no need to worry about lack of food. More than ten county seats, plus three counties in the north and Yi County, are enough to feed 200,000 troops, although they cannot be raised for a long time, but there is definitely no problem in persisting for three or five years!

And it is simple to take the ten counties in the northeast, but the 20,000 elites in Shitai County are threatening, and Li Yao is now waiting for the decisive battle between Yangyun and the eldest prince!

Although Yangyun's power is strong. But after all, the eldest prince is the eldest son of King Yi, although now the seventh prince is King Yi, but in the eyes of the people, the eldest prince is the real lord of Yiguo, so the power of the eldest prince is not weak, if Yangyun and the eldest prince break out into a decisive battle. Nine times out of ten, it will be a lose-lose situation, and all parties will recuperate and wait for the beginning of spring next year!

It's already August, if it's two months, it's October, Li Yao is going to take advantage of the defeat of Yangyun and the eldest prince to occupy the ten counties in the northeast in a grand manner, even if Yangyun wants to resist himself, there is no way!

It's just that the only bad thing about Li Yao now is that he hasn't won the hearts of the people, in the final analysis, Li Yao is an invader, and it is difficult to get the approval of the locals if he is not a local, so Li Yao established the academy and appointed the army of the local faction to capture the hearts of the people!

It's just that Li Yao believes that as long as he conquers the ten counties in the northeast, with his own military strength, he can forcibly collect the land and property of the local tyrants, this is to provide military funds, and the other is to collect land for people to cultivate, so that it will not be barren, although this will offend the interests of the local tyrants and squires, but Li Yao has to let their interests lose for his own interests!

Li Yao is not completely ignorant of human feelings, Li Yao is ready to come to salute first and then soldier, if they know each other, Li Yao can indeed let them go, if they don't know each other, then there is no way! Li Yao won't be merciful!

After two months of training, the Yiguo Native Army has indeed improved greatly, and there is no difference between it and the Yixian Legion at a glance, but it can still be seen that the Yiguo Native Army still lacks momentum!

Two months have made the contradiction between the eldest prince and Yang Yun begin to heat up, and finally when the eldest prince's power has shrunk to the smallest extent, the two forces still fight!

The 100,000 army of the eldest prince Chen Jin under the leadership of the veteran general, one by one has become extremely elite, and Yangyun's forces, because there are no qualified generals, although they have been pressing Yangyun to fight, but this is also because of the number of people, this kind of victory is the most unreliable, once the battlefield is lost, Yangyun's army will definitely collapse at the touch of a button, and when the time comes, there is no need for Chen Jin to attack the county, they will definitely give it to the eldest prince!

Sure enough, just as Li Yao imagined, just when the Yangyun army thought that victory was imminent, the Great Prince's Department began to break the cauldron and prepare for a battle!

In the lack of good generals in the Yangyun army, thinking that the eldest prince is about to finish, they have also relaxed their vigilance, who knows that the great prince's subordinates are like death as the momentum of the Yangyun army, within one day the eldest prince's army even counted the county, it didn't take two days, the eldest prince's original county was recovered, but because it was broken, so the eldest prince's foundation has basically been exhausted, and he is unable to continue to cause damage to the Yangyun army, so he began to consolidate the county seat and recuperate.

Yangyun's troops were killed 30,000 people in this battle, more than 70,000 people were captured, and the number of troops plummeted by half, so that Yangyun did not dare to act rashly!

Li Yao was waiting for this opportunity, when he saw that Yang Yun and the eldest prince were both defeated, it was the time of Li Yao's expedition!

The map drawn by the blind man was also drawn, Li Yao looked at it, and it was similar to his own way of drawing, which made it clear at a glance! Seeing such a sophisticated map, Li Yao's confidence was even more sufficient, and it would be easier to occupy the ten counties in the northeast this time!
