Chapter 106: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Qin Yuan didn't agree in the end, but he didn't object either.
Qin Feng and the eight hundred hussars were Zhu Zi's subordinates, and Qin Yuan couldn't call the shots.
As soon as this meeting ended, Qin Yuan rushed to Liangzhou with hundreds of personal soldiers. He needs to tell Zhu Zi about the situation here as soon as possible and ask him to decide.
"Lord, will Zhu Zi agree?"
Standing in the square in front of the Great Circle Auditorium, looking at the smoke and dust from Qin Yuan and the others, Yang Gui asked.
Lou Jing and Ye Dongyang were behind Yang Xian, and they also participated in the meeting just now.
"It doesn't matter if Zhu Zi agrees or not, this city is here, and it can't be moved."
Yang Xian smiled, this is a transaction. After Zhu Zi gets this magic city, he will be able to expand the land for thousands of miles. Although it contains water, the population of Liangzhou is only one million, and Zhu Zi does not have the ability to substantially control this thousand-mile domain, but it is still possible to build a few key villages on the main transportation routes.
Against the tide of brute beasts, the front line of the Liangzhou army will not be Yang Jue Pass, but will be in the Demon City.
The demon clan built the city here, and chose this strategically important transportation hub, what their initial intentions were, it's really hard to say. The demon clan takes Qingwu as the Taiyin and condenses the earth Qi as a domain, artificially separating the place of the demon race from the outside world, blocking more than ten mountain arteries, resulting in most of the brute beast tides over the years can only rush towards the Yang Pass.
At this moment, this region is no different from the rest of the wasteland, and the tide of brute beasts can be diverted to other places through the demon domain.
In fact, the tide of brute beasts in autumn has risen, and without the dark clouds above the Demon Domain, and without the ferocious wolf spirits on the periphery, there are already many brute beasts tentatively migrating in the direction of the Demon Domain. Zhu Zi reorganized his armament at Yangjue Pass, and must have felt the difference.
Behind the Yang Pass are the people of Liangzhou, their parents, wives and children, Zhu Zi and the Liangzhou army can only choose to stick to it.
And unlike the Yang Pass, which needs to completely block the tide of barbarian beasts, the garrison is here, and the Liangzhou army only needs to be channeled.
With the Demon City as the base camp, forts were set up on several key roads leading to Liangzhou to block them, so that the tide of brute beasts could be diverted to other places in the wasteland. In this way, the pressure on the Yang Jue Pass side was greatly reduced, and Zhu Zi was able to move more troops.
Qin Yuan had already realized the great value of this place, and Zhu Zi would soon realize it as well.
However, the heart of the deal is not about the city, but about Zhu Zi and Yang Xian building an alliance together.
An alliance against Huan Wu, the overlord who holds the seven states of the Central Plains!
Yang Xian understands, and Zhu Zi also understands.
"Lord, what if Zhu Zi is unwilling?"
Yang Gui stood aside and said with some concern. After all, although this is a wasteland, it can be regarded as Zhu Zi's territory in name. Yang Xian led the people and horses to openly stir up the storm on Zhu Zi's territory, and it was the Demon Extreme Sect and the Chengtian Dao of Liangzhou, how could a normal prince endure this breath?
Yang Xian was silent and waved his feather fan. Lou Jing smiled behind him and said, "General Yang Xiao, even if Zhu Wuxiao is unwilling, some people will force him to agree." ”
"Who?"
Yang Gui looked ignorant, but the faces of the people present already had answers.
"Huan Wu!"
Yang Gui seemed to realize something, and there was an expression of sudden realization on his face.
That's right! Huan Wu has always coveted the Xiliang Iron Ride, which is a well-known thing in the world. The beast tide will not become a problem in Liangzhou in the future, and naturally it will not become a problem in Huanwu.
Once the situation here reached Huan Wu's ears, then he would no longer have any scruples and start to act against Liangzhou unscrupulously.
Zhu Zi seems to have a lot of soldiers and horses available, but the pressure will be more than before. If he didn't want to surrender to Huan Wu and become an idle marquis in the divine capital, the best choice was to ally with Yang Xian.
A military horn sounded, and everyone present was shocked. Yang Xian set up guard posts around the Demon Domain, just in case.
Now it sounded, and everyone didn't feel that there was doubt in their hearts. At this moment, around this magic city, are there other forces that want to take advantage of the fire to rob it?
Roughly speaking, there were only about 100 people, all of whom were men.
They are people from the Kuafu clan, led by an old man, who seems to be the patriarch, and when he looked at Yang Xian, he looked unhappy.
"You saved the sons of my tribe?"
There is no need to read Xianchen's translation, this old man can actually speak the words of the Zhou people, which makes Yang Xian a little surprised.
The old man was followed by a few people from the Kuafu clan that Yang Xian had rescued.
"That's right."
"You also razed the demons here?"
"That's right."
The old man first saluted Yang Xian and expressed his gratitude. However, he stretched out his calloused palm and said, "Lose money!" ”
Yang Xian was a little inexplicable, what's the matter with this old man, does he ask for money as soon as he comes up?
"It looks like we're meeting for the first time, right?"
The old man had a gray beard tied into a small braid, his skin was very yellow, and he wore a short leather jacket like a waistcoat, and although his body was thick, he was short, and he did not want to match the tall figure that was common among the Kwafu clan.
"Our tribe originally lived in a small valley west of the Demon Domain. Although those demons are ferocious, we can still get by. But after you razed them, a great number of brutes went towards our village. We're moving, who are you going to ask for this relocation fee? ”
Yang Xian smiled and said, "The old man probably doesn't know that the Liangzhou Army is going to garrison here, and I am afraid that in the future, I will not be able to live in this nearby area." Even if I give you money, you won't be able to move! ”
Seeing the old man's face showing doubts, Yang Xian continued: "The Kua Father Clan and our clan were allies thousands of years ago, and the two families have a deep friendship. If you are in trouble, I naturally cannot stand idly by. Why don't you wait for me to move to Yizhou together? ”
"You want to recruit us?"
"That's right!"
Yang Xian said very straightforwardly, without a trace of disguise.
The air froze for a moment, and the old man's face changed several times, as if he was struggling fiercely in his heart, and finally asked a crucial question.
"Do you want to eat and live?"
Yang Xian nodded. The old fellow clapped his hands in celebration as if he had met a wronged man, almost jumped up, and muttered something to the Kuafu clan behind him.
After Nian Xianchen's explanation, Yang Xian understood what this old guy meant. It was to the effect: children, go back and get all the people from the nearby tribes, there is a fool here who is willing to take care of the food.
The Demon Sacred Mountain, which was originally the hinterland of the mountain dedicated to the Heaven Swallowing Mussel.
Bai Li burned the fire once, and the heaven-swallowing mussel had lost its vitality. The mussel meat used to be bright red is now charred. The belly of the mountain has long been barren, and in a short period of time, weeds have grown all over the ground.
Several frogs croaked in search of food near the Swallowing Mussels.
A hand stretched out from the charred flesh of the Sky Swallowing Mussel and grabbed a frog suddenly, startling a frog sound.
Even the Yuan Demons didn't expect that this time the Sky Swallowing Mussel was difficult to lay eggs because it was pregnant with twin eggs. The other Demon Emperor's young egg had been in the birth tract of the Devouring Mussel, and it was Bai Lihuo, and it was not burned to death.
Unlike his older brother, this Demon Emperor was very cautious. It wasn't until he could no longer feel the breath of those Zhou people in this holy mountain that he dared to break out of his eggs. He put the frog into his mouth and, like a wild beast, chewed desperately, quenching the hunger of his flesh.
On the ground, the six demon shadows slowly condensed and formed, and the Xuanyin Blood Demon knelt beside the Demon Emperor. The most powerful guardian of these Demon Emperors, deferential and abnormal.
The Demon Emperor roared, and the corners of his mouth were covered with the flesh and blood of frogs, describing it as terrifying. The sharp voice shook through the mountain, and the Demon Emperor vented his fear and resentment these days to his heart's content.
