"Boss, we don't want Lu Junyi, can we replace Wu Mingche?"

"Got it figured?"

"If you think about it, if you think about it, you will change it to Wu Mingche."

"Okay then."

Huang Chao, who led a group of defeated soldiers to escape into the mountains, was finally dug up by the people of the peak guild, although Wu Yi was a little regretful, but no matter what, after all, they were all their own people, just change them, anyway, in the end, the meat was rotten in their own pot. Originally, Wu Yi planned to use Lu Junyi, the first fierce general of Liangshan, in exchange, although the heroes of Liangshan have certain limitations, there is an upper limit, no more than other heroes of the great era, like Lu Junyi, known as the first fierce general of Liangshan, his basic potential, the most brilliant "force" may not reach ninety-nine, even if you add the bonus of territorial potential, if you want to enter the demigod, it will take a lot of time and resources, but there is no possibility of reaching the top, as long as you can't become the peak of the powerhouse, It is not indispensable for the current Hulucheng.

Originally, Wu Yi was still thinking that the Peak Guild didn't need a strong commander, and it was enough to have a Li Dingguo to support the scene, anyway, they had been following Hulu City to fight a tailwind battle. However, since they wanted Wu Mingche, Wu Yi did not object, whether to trade Lu Junyi or Wu Mingche did not make much difference to him.

Although Wu Mingche is one of the seventy-two generals of Wumiao, he is a little transparent, and his record is also more defeated and less victorious, Hulu City already has enough commanders with the potential to stand alone in the future, and he has no more resources to allocate to Wu Mingche. For example, Wei Qing, who has reached the top and is developing towards the road of invincible commander, Geng Yi, who is only one step away from the "Soldier Saint", and even Lu Bu, who only needs to rush to a hundred by "force", and can barely stand alone if he is super first-class in "command", not to mention Huo Quai, who may have a double hundred in the future. Even Mulan, with the blessing of the territorial attributes, has the possibility of reaching the top, but her growth is a little late, and then Wu Yi will tilt her resources towards Huo Quai, and Mulan can only wait.

Next, with Huangchao, the progress of Hulucheng's conscription will be much faster, and as long as the troops in each major theater are replenished, the next action can be carried out.

The harvest in the south continued, during this period, Dongyue City was already crying to Wu Yi from top to bottom, and Feng Sheng, who originally occupied Dongyue City, was also packaged and sold by these officials, and was easily received by Shi Tianze, who returned to the battlefield of Dongyue City.

So far, Wu Yi has taken the land of Dongyue City, Dongping City, Red Leaf City, Nanyue City, and Jiuding City, and those high-level leaders in the Central Plains, who were originally falling apart, still want to use Jiuding City to negotiate and use Jiuding City to get more benefits, but how could Wu Yi agree, Jiuding City is already in his pocket, how can he spend money to buy it? The negotiations between those high-level and peak guilds in the Central Plains continued, and Wu Yi did not participate, but he had the right to deny the result, no matter what kind of negotiation between the two of them was, if Wu Yi was not satisfied, he could directly veto it.

Jiuding City Wu Yi did not give up to the Peak Guild, for the land in the south, even if it was an inch, he would not let go, and after receiving part of the power of the Central Plains this time, the power of the Peak Guild would soar again, and it would not be a problem to rush into the top ten, and then he could fully support the Peak Guild to go to the north to develop.

After recruiting Huang Chao, Wu Yi also casually threw him the title of the governor of the conscription capital, and asked him to use his ability to recruit soldiers city by city, this time Wu Yi had to take a large number of territories, as well as a large population, and the next conscription pressure was not great.

"My lord, Grand Duke Yunlin has arrived in Hulu City and wants to see you!" Just when Wu Yi was arranging some prisoners who had just surrendered in Dongping City, Xun Yu sent someone to deliver the news.

Yunlin?

What is Yunlin seeing him for at this time? Do you still want to persuade him to be loyal to the Hongyu Empire? He is the Chosen One, and he doesn't have any special feelings for the Hongyu Empire. As for Yunlin, although it was an exchange of interests, it also helped him a lot, just see him, he had already withdrawn the people who were placed in the empire before, but he was afraid that the emperor would vent his anger with these people if it dragged on for a long time.

Wu Yi hadn't seen Yunlin for a long time, and even the last time they cooperated was by the deputy city lord of Zhenhai City. Seeing Yunlin again, Wu Yi felt that this old duke, who had done his best for the Hongyu Empire, was even older, like a broken candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time. It's a pity, no matter how hard he tries, it is impossible for the Hongyu Empire to return to its former glory, all of this was doomed when Emperor Wu fell, this is not Xiao Chenguang's problem, no matter who sits in that position, the result is the same.

"Grand Duke, it's been a long time, you have to take care of your health." Wu Yizhi was sincere in his words, and he didn't mean to be half sarcastic.

"Hehe, my old bones, I don't have two years to live, and if I don't take care of it, it's the difference between living two more days and two days less." Yun Lin smiled self-deprecatingly, looking a little lonely. Wu Yi understood his mood at this time, after all, this grand duke was conscientious and dedicated to the empire, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see any hope.

Yun Lin sorted out his mood for a while, changed his words, and continued: "I came to see you this time because I wanted to make a deal with you. ”

"Deal? Oh, what a deal? Wu Yi was a little curious, with his current strength, the Hongyu Empire continued to trade with him, undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger.

"The Empire grants you a knighthood, on the condition that you must always be loyal to the Empire!"

Prince?

Wu Yi was a little surprised, except for the Hongyu Empire when it was founded, there was no foreign surname king after that, and a foreign surname king like the Prison King was also inherited from that special period. Not all countries can be called empires, only the existence of dominating the world has this qualification, like the East China Sea Kingdom, the Golden Wolf Country, these can only be called kingdoms, the lord of the kingdom, in terms of level, is equivalent to the prince of the empire, but the power is greater, of course, there must be other benefits, such as the dragon vein, the attributes are definitely not simple, and it is by no means comparable to the ethereal territorial fortune.

But having said that, after all, the title of prince is in front of you and within reach, but the establishment of your own country is still far away.

Wu Yi never expected that the Hongyu Empire would directly throw a prince to him!

"Grand Duke, even if I say that I will be loyal to the Empire, do you dare to believe it?" Wu Yi smiled slightly, a prince is indeed quite attractive to him, after all, just the attributes of the power battle banner given by the Marquis of Pingdong are not bad, let alone a prince. But Wu Yi feels that this is definitely more than what Yunlin said, loyalty? This thing can't even be seen on the attribute panel, today's loyalty, tomorrow's rebellion happens almost every day, as for what agreement, it's just a product of compromise, as long as you have enough strength, you can tear it at any time, there is no point.

"Of course I don't believe it!" Yun Lin replied very simply, but then said: "Since Your Majesty has chosen so, he has naturally been prepared, this is the Mandate of Heaven contract, as long as it is signed, the two parties cannot violate it, otherwise they must pay the corresponding price." You are the chosen one, and it is ridiculous to talk to you about loyalty, so it is better to add a layer of insurance, and with the Mandate of Heaven contract, everyone will have no worries. ”

Destiny Pact? What is this?

After Yunlin's explanation, he finally understood what the so-called Mandate of Heaven contract was, to put it simply, it was a system contract, which wrote the rights and responsibilities of both parties, as well as the price that needs to be paid for violating the contract, into the contract, and once there is any problem, it will be forcibly executed by the system. However, the Mandate of Heaven contract is very rare, even if it is a god, it cannot be made, only a very small number of it has been handed down from before the era of the gods, it is said that the Ning clan, the prison king of the Hongyu Empire, signed the Mandate of Heaven contract with the Hongyu Empire at the beginning, and only then did he get a hereditary reckless prince, so now even if the Ning clan has any different intentions, they can't directly jump out to create the Hongyu Empire's counter, I just don't know if there are any loopholes in the original contract, and the Ning family now supports Liu Bei, maybe it is a way to break the situation from the side.

The same is true for the Liu family of Shenyu City, otherwise why would the Liu family have controlled the Shenyu City, which is known as the second imperial capital, for generations? Liu's method of breaking the game is even simpler, splitting the family, and directly eliminating the genealogy of Liu Bang, so that Liu Bang can also give Liu Bang some benefits, so that the entire family will not be tied to the chariot of the Hongyu Empire.

However, Wu Yi is the chosen one, and there must be more restrictions written into the contract, otherwise the Hongyu Empire has just handed over the entire south to him on the front foot, and he can transfer the territory to his wife on the back leg, and then continue to create the Hongyu Empire's rebellion, then Xiao Chenguang is really angry and vomits blood.

Now there are two choices in front of Wu Yi, one is to go to the Imperial City and sign this Mandate of Heaven contract with Xiao Chenguang in person, and then he will be the prince who owns the entire south! The inland is divided into nine major areas: east, south, west, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest and central region, as long as he receives the olive branch thrown by Xiao Chenguang, then Wu Yi will have a huge fief including the southeast, due south and southwest, which is equivalent to three-ninths of the entire world. However, correspondingly, he must also send troops to help the Hongyu Empire quell the rebellion in the entire north and west.

Second, he naturally refuses and continues his road of dominating the world, but in this way, it is tantamount to completely tearing his face with the Hongyu Empire in advance, even if he does not rebel on the surface, the Hongyu Empire also has a way to get him, and he will definitely get the name of righteousness first.

Wu Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head, "I'm sorry Grand Duke, these conditions are too harsh, I can't agree to them." ”

If you have the chance, why not try for it! Anyway, it's just a game, how can Wu Yi be willing to be a "watchdog"-style prince. The whole south doesn't need Xiao Chenguang to give it, he has the strength to get it! Even if the Hongyu Empire can draw another military god-level figure to the south to stabilize the situation, it will only be a delay in time, and then it will depend on who can drag whom, and the Hongyu Empire, which has long been riddled with holes, will collapse faster if it maintains more battles.

The best way for the Hongyu Empire to break the situation now is to lose face that doesn't matter, take the initiative to give up some hopeless war zones, and concentrate on pacifying the rebels one by one. The Hongyu Empire's heritage is far from being comparable to the East China Sea Country and the newly built Golden Wolf Country, and even now it is very strong. Of course, it can't be said that Xiao Chenguang has no courage, it's just that his means of ascending the throne are a little disgraceful, and since he ascended the throne, he has lost his country one after another, and almost all the famous generals of the older generation have been killed, and before he has established his prestige, he has been pressed to the ground and rubbed, and the empire is not of the same heart, sometimes it is not what he says.

"You really don't think about it anymore? As long as you sign this Mandate of Heaven contract, the entire Nanfang will be your fiefdom, and it will be hereditary! Yun Lin's face was a little ugly, but he still didn't give up and wanted to do his best.

"Archduke, isn't it ridiculous that you are talking to one of the Chosen One with me about hereditary succession?" Wu Yi shook his head, no matter how real the game is, it is still a game after all, and it will end one day, do you want him to pass on the title of prince to his son, and then his son to his grandson? The Penguin has no legacy value, let alone this.

"In this case, this is for you, this is what was promised to you at the beginning, the city lord of Zhenhai City is no longer me, and he will ...... in the future There's no time for us to see each other again. After speaking, Yun Lin stood up with a somewhat discouraged face and handed Wu Yi a scroll of holy decrees.

"I'll send you!" Wu Yi took the holy decree and did not open it immediately, since the city lord of Zhenhai City was no longer Yunlin, it could be regarded as breaking his last bond, once the two sides met in the future, the East China Sea Fleet and Zhenhai City would be the first to fall.

Sent away Yunlin, Wu Yi sat in the flower hall and drank alone, the holy decree that Yunlin gave him only had one sentence, pacified the king of Dongping, the emperor rewarded him for meritorious deeds, and promoted his title to duke, titled "Dongping", Duke of Dongping! If he had agreed to a deal with the Hongyu Empire before, then he would be the new king of Dongping.

Even now, Xiao Chenguang has taken advantage of him and is named "Dongping"! This is taking him as an example for the people of the world, as long as those traitorous kings are pacified, they can get the same treatment as him, and they will ascend to the sky in one step, and they will be extremely popular ministers.

The duke title that he dreamed of at the beginning no longer means anything to Wu Yi now, not to mention that it is just an empty duke title, and he has not even changed the power battle flag, let alone the reward, not even a gold coin. This time, Wu Yi rejected the olive branch thrown by the emperor, and everyone already knew what would happen next, and even the last bit of extravagant hope had been shattered.

Now he needs time to digest the results of this battle, and similarly, the Hongyu Empire also needs time to prepare for his next big expansion, depending on when the real big war breaks out.
