The war in the kingdom of Tsukima is over. The people who did not contribute to the work in the sandstone area this time can be said to have made a lot of money, in addition to the fact that they have self-knowledge and do not want territory, the various cultivation resources seized from the Yuema country have made them soft, compared to the poor place like sandstone, the behemoth of the Yuema country is extremely rich, and casually robbing some of the things obtained by the rich is enough for their group of poor guys to be stunned for a while.

According to the agreement, the army of Dongtuo took over all the territory of Yuema and several surrounding small countries, and the 30,000 horses in the sandstone area returned to the dynasty with a triumphant song, almost everyone was elated, but Lu Yi was even more worried. This time the battle of Yuema Kingdom made Lu Yi sober up a lot, and he was now more anxious than ever. Although Lu Yi had paid attention to cultivating his own power many years ago, but at that time, his vision and ability were very low, although the subordinates he cultivated were loyal to him, but their strength was not high, and the number of people who could really take it to the stage was even smaller. Lu Yi felt that his top priority was to quickly adjust the personnel structure of his subordinates that he could fully control, absorb more high-level monks, control a certain number of spiritual cultivators, and let them develop their own subordinates who were loyal to them. And he is like Sima Hongqian said, to be a leader who takes charge of the overall situation, rather than a doer who does everything.

However, with his current ability, it is still a little reluctant to entrap the Spiritual Cultivator for his own use, although he has advanced to the Sixth Order Formation Mage, it can be more or less of some use to the Spiritual Cultivator, it will make them look up to themselves, but it is not enough to make them feel inseparable from themselves. Even now that there are a lot of spiritual cultivators around him, Lu Yi is also very clear that what these people really look at is not their own face, but the people behind them, such as Chen Yunzi, such as Wen Feng Sanlao, etc. The spiritual cultivators who can really communicate with him, Lu Yi can count them with his fingers. Do you really want to join the Cloud Cliff Pavilion? Although Lu Yi was woken up by Sima Hongqian this time, he still resisted psychologically, Lu Yi had his own ideas, even if he accepted the kindness of Yunya Pavilion, but in Yunya Pavilion, he could only start from a low level step by step, even if Yunya Pavilion would be inclined to himself, but Yunya Pavilion should be a behemoth, it is impossible to completely revolve around him, and he may not do enough to satisfy them in some places, and he is likely to be given up by them, so even if he can learn something in Yunya Pavilion, but time is also wasted, and if he fails to support his own power at that time, he can only send people to the fence。 Lu Yi attributed all of this to a means of Cloud Cliff Pavilion, and he was extremely resistant to it.

At this time, Lu Yi misses his grandfather and Jin Dongzi a little, those old guys are all old and refined masters, they must see more long-term than themselves, if you can discuss these situations with them, maybe you will make yourself suddenly enlightened, Lu Yi even began to miss Ai Sanniang and Mei Qingzhu, Mei Qingzhu, who never plays cards according to common sense, must give advice that is very interesting and biased, often has unexpected effects. Unconsciously a beautiful face and those big eyes with deep melancholy appeared in Lu Yi's mind, if it were her, how would she deal with this matter? Thinking of the Easy Fairy, Lu Yi suddenly woke up, how could he come up with such a ridiculous idea at this time, scared him into a cold sweat, and quickly shook his head vigorously to drive the shadow of the Easy Fairy out of his mind, but he didn't understand that the woman had been deeply implanted in Lu Yi's heart, and it was impossible to forget it in this life.

The people of the sandstone forces didn't know Lu Yi's distress, on the contrary, they were very grateful to Dade for Lu Yi for taking them out to fight the autumn breeze, and some people had some expectations in their hearts, hoping that such a good thing could happen. However, the human butcher poured a basin of cold water on these people who were about to move, "How can there be a good thing in the world that takes benefits in vain and does not make efforts? This time you have no merit, and next time you may have to charge ahead, and if you want to get benefits, you must be prepared to pay the corresponding price." These words also made many people die down in an instant, and began to secretly weigh how to calculate the gains and losses if there is a next time.

After returning to Qilin City, Lu Yi summoned the leaders of all parties to come to discuss and express their opinions on the cooperation with Dongtuoguo this time. As a result, opinions were as he expected, and there were great differences of opinion, some people advocated accepting what was good, and they were still very wary of expanding the country to the east; some people were tempted after tasting the sweetness, and wanted to make a fortune or break out of the world in this troubled era. Both opinions have nearly half of the supporters, so the two sides quarrel and no one can convince anyone. Soon, there was new news of cooperation from the eastern expansion country, this time targeting another country adjacent to the sandstone zone- Shuwei country, this country is slightly weaker than the Yuema country in terms of strength, but it is much stronger than the sandstone forces, and has been eyeing the sandstone area for many years, if it weren't for the sandstone forces are more grouped, they may have been eaten by the other party one by one, this time, the condition proposed by the East Tuoguo is to leave all the occupied territory to the various forces in the sandstone area, and they will take all the spoils away. As soon as this news came out, the sandstone forces that originally held two opinions had a new division, and there were several poorer forces who fell in love with the territory of the Shuwei Kingdom and wanted to move to the past to develop, so they actively fought the main battle, and even said that they could devote their full strength, and the originally belligerent forces also felt that the opportunity had come and wanted to reap some benefits again, so that the two sides of the main battle had not really started fighting with the Shuwei Kingdom because of the distribution of the territory. Lu Yi has not expressed his opinion, he is observing coldly, to see what the human nature of these people is, sure enough, in the face of huge interests, many people who used to behave very well-behaved in front of people have exposed their true nature, in order to get more benefits, they are calculating, not giving an inch, and even do not hesitate to turn their faces with their former allies. And these situations Lu Yi had already foreseen in advance on a secret document given to him by Sima Hongqian, Sima Hongqian's intelligence work was much more detailed than Shanaiqi, he had a more thorough understanding of the temperament of the helmsman of the sandstone forces, and the attack on the Yuema Kingdom made the sandstone forces work without contributing to the benefits in vain, and the plan to attack the Shuyan Kingdom this time was also leaked to Lu Yi early, that is, let Lu Yi confirm whether his analysis of the sandstone forces was accurate, and now it seems that Sima Hongqian's grasp of the mentality of the various forces is really deep in the bone marrow, thorough heart, it can be seen that Sima Hongqian is a person who is very good at attacking the heart. Originally, Sima Hongqian's original intention was to make Lu Yi have a kind of admiration for himself through these things, so as to persuade Lu Yi to join the Cloud Cliff Pavilion to accept his own training, but he didn't know that the more he behaved so calculatingly, the more Lu Yi retreated in his heart, Lu Yi already had a bigger problem with Sima Hongqian and the Cloud Cliff Pavilion in his heart, he didn't want to become a pawn at the mercy of the other party, he was determined to find a complete way to deal with the relationship with the Cloud Cliff Pavilion, not to completely tear his face, but also to have reservations and precautions, and the most important thing was not to let the Cloud Cliff Pavilion feel that he had different intentions。

The matter of attacking the Shulu Kingdom finally settled, this time nine of the various forces of Sandstone made it clear that they wanted to participate in the war, and they even discussed the division of the territory, except for half of the share left to Qilin City, where Lu Yi was located, the remaining territory was given to the other four sandstone forces, and the territory of the four sandstone forces was handed over to the remaining four forces. Other forces chose to sit on the sidelines and gave up on participating in the matter altogether. Lu Yi did not insist on this, and ordered all the forces participating in the war to go back immediately to mobilize men and horses, and after agreeing on the time with Zhang Yongji from the Eastern Expansion Kingdom, he dismissed everyone and let them go their own way.

Three months later, when the Sandstone Nine forces suddenly Chen Bingshu border, And when the army of the Eastern Extension Kingdom circled the border from the side to the other side of the Shuyu Kingdom, the two sides formed a situation of encirclement and launched an attack on the Shuyu Kingdom, the Shuyu Kingdom was not prepared at all, so they had to rush to fight at both ends, and because of the poor intelligence information, they did not realize that the two opponents had dispatched so many people, and when the army sent out by the Shuyu Kingdom in the early stage was wiped out, their spiritual monks found that the situation was not right and went to the place where the two sides fought to check in person, and even the opportunity to escape was buried in vain. All of this was naturally laid out by Sima Hongqian a long time ago, and he was deliberately showing Lu Yi the importance of intelligence work.

There were not many spiritual monks in Shuyu Kingdom, only eleven people, and after they found out that the situation was wrong, they immediately made the decision to flee for their lives, except for four people who dragged their families with them, and the remaining seven people all fled alone. The huge Shuwei Kingdom instantly became a leaderless state of dragons, and there was no fighting spirit, and the two coalition forces smashed the Yellow Dragon all the way, and successfully annexed the entire Shuwei Kingdom without paying too much price.
