Chapter 53: Zhou Yi surrendered

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Wu Feng said leisurely: "City Lord Zhou said yes." ”

Zhou Yi turned to the closet and took out a silk cloth map from the drawer, which showed the topography of Xiangyang County, mountains, rivers, hills, and cities, and the ups and downs of the terrain were also delicately expressed through the shade of pen and ink.

I saw Zhou Yi straighten the map on the low table, and gestured on the map with his finger: "This is Anxiang City, sandwiched by two mountains, and Anxiang City is at the north entrance of the valley. ”

"If the Shenxiao Three Rivers Alliance forces are driven by a long force, in order to keep the newly acquired Anxiang City, you should fight at the southern entrance of the valley, on the slope called Burning Beanban, with the two mountains and valleys at your back, and the back road will be secured, so that you can have fewer enemies and more enemies. ”

Wu Feng nodded: "That's true." ”

For example, Zhao Zhonggao, the commander of the Blood Killing Battalion, and his son Zhao Zongsheng, the wine Zhongci and Shi Shuzheng, who are known as the two masters of the Sanhe youth generation, and even the Huangxu Dao who died in Anxiang City, are not ordinary people.

Although Zhou Yi is narrow-minded, if he was an incompetent person, he should have been removed from his position a long time ago, and he would have reduced his territory and moved to another place with his clansmen. To be able to guard a critical place like Dao Miyagi for so many years, Zhou Yi must have some vision and skill.

Zhou Yi said again: "But if you fight in the decisive battle of Burning Beanban, there is a problem. Because the valley is inward, only the left and right flanks can be condescending after your formation, and the Chinese army will be in the low-lying area. ”

"If you give up Taniguchi and set up a formation completely with your back to the mountain wall, it will be a dead end. If you are defeated, you will be stuck on a steep mountain wall, with no way to escape, and you will probably be completely annihilated. ”

Wu Feng said with a smile: "So if you fight in Burning Beanzaka, there are really advantages and disadvantages." ”

Zhou Yi continued: "And the slope where Dao Miyagi is located, named Ran Slope, is seventy miles away from Randou Mountain. The slope is gentle and the top of the slope is open, which is suitable for the deployment of large armies. In the middle of the top of the slope, four cliffs rise abruptly, and the Miyagi Castle is in the flat ground inside the cliff, which is extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"If Dao Miyagi supports you, you will be deployed at the top of the Ran Slope to face the Sanhe Shenxiao coalition army, not only will you be able to enjoy the geographical advantage, but you will also be able to get the support of Dao Miyagi Castle's troops. The coalition forces were unable to capture Michinomiya Castle from the narrow cliff pass, but Michinomiya Castle was ready to support you, and with the help of its geographical advantages, even if it was only a few hundred men, it could turn the tide at a critical moment of war. ”

"In other words, my Miyagi is enough to decide the outcome of the entire war. ”

Wu Feng high-fived: "City Lord Zhou is a person who understands, and his vision is indeed poisonous. ”

Of course, the hall master thought the same way. ”

"Then ......" Wu Feng smiled: "There is a saying in the world that the price is all over the world and asks for money to sit on the ground and pay back, but I am a troublesome person." ”

"So I'll tell you the conditions of the hall master now. ”

"As long as the Zhou City Lord invests in us, all the land from the south of Burning Bean to the north of Dao Palace City will be handed over to the Zhou City Lord to take care of!"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

That's a lot of money.

And compared to the future attack on Sanhe, the empty words such as Mr. as the lord of Xiangyang are much more reliable.

Because the land of this county is now in the hands of Su Mengzhen.

This place is the direct territory of the Li family, and it is managed by the Huangxu Dao, the guard of Anxiang City. Now that Anxiang City has fallen into the hands of the Divine Hall, this place will of course be seized by the Divine Hall.

Wu Feng looked leisurely, and slapped the county official's big seal and a large number of manor land deeds in front of Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.

He knew that Su Mengzhen would fulfill his word, and since he had made such a condition, he would not break his word.

Xiangyang County is the most populous county in the Central Plains, with more than 1 million people, and the Jingmen area has a population of more than 1.6 million when it was not swept away by Long Zhanye.

And the entire Jingzhou, even if you count Xiangyang County, has a population of just under five million. Even if the area of Jingzhou is almost twenty times that of Xiangyang County.

The territory of the Zhou family is half a county, with a population of 30,000. If Su Mengzhen rewards a county of land, his power can be directly tripled.

It is difficult for the lords who surrender to receive the rewards of the land, at most they are only gold silks, let alone so many rewards. But the strategic position of Dao Miyagi is worthy of such a high price for Su Mengzhen.

But Zhou Yi gritted his teeth again.

Su Mengzhen's eyes are too poisonous.

If the Shentang Army and the Shenxiao Three Rivers Alliance Army lose the battle, Anxiang City will definitely not be able to keep it, and of course there will be no land in this county. Even if Zhou Yi turned back afterwards, the Li family's father and son would definitely let him spit out this county.

In other words, if Zhou Yi wants to grasp this county, he must be loyal to the Divine Hall, serve the Divine Hall with all his might, and help the Divine Hall Army defeat the coalition army.

But if Zhou Yi is loyal to Sanhe, he will not get such a big benefit no matter what. Territory is an extremely valuable resource, and it is impossible for the Li family father and son to be as generous as Su Mengzhen.

Seeing Zhou Yi's hesitation, Wu Feng poured another sip of tea into his mouth and reminded: "If City Lord Zhou can revitalize the Zhou family, Mrs. Zun will definitely be very happy, this is also for the sake of Prince Ling's future." ”

With the lure of profit and the threat of hostages, Zhou Yi had no other choice.

He finally chose to take a gamble with the temple.

Loyalty seems so ridiculous at times like these.

Zhou Yi immediately took the title deed and the county official's seal in front of him into his arms.

"Zhou Yi is willing to serve the master of the Su Hall with the entire Dao Palace City, and do his best. Zhou Yi said with some difficulty, but his eyes were full of greed and expectation.

Middle-aged men tend to have a stronger desire for power than younger men. Young people are often idealistic, while middle-aged people are more interested in immediate interests.

"Being able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light at a critical moment, the city lord of Zhou is worthy of being a smart person. Wu Feng clapped his hands and said: "The land of a county is just a meeting gift, if the city lord of Zhou can make more contributions......

He rubbed his index and middle fingers with the thumb of his right hand: "More benefits are yet to come." ”

Hearing Wu Feng's words, Zhou Yi's eyes were blazing and full of joy, but his words were solemn, and he nodded: "I will definitely live up to the love of the hall master." ”

He carefully wrote down the oath and stamped his handprint. The copy of the oath written to Li Zhong of the Three Rivers Sword Sect was burned by Zhou Yi in front of Wu Feng.

When Wu Feng left Dao Miyagi City, the head of Dao Miyagi City had already replaced the bright yellow three-leaf aoi banner of the Sanhe Sword Sect and replaced it with the bright red five-papaya military flag of the Divine Hall.

The Divine Hall Military Flag was brought over by Wu Feng in a space bag.

This task can be said to be successfully completed.

If you want to take it, you must give it first. Su Mengzhen and Wu Feng exchanged the price of a county for the surrender of Zhou Yi of Dao Miyagi, and obtained the geographical advantages of Dao Miyagi and Ranpo.

And this game of Zhenlong chess game also opened the first step to decide the winner.
