Chapter 433: Honorary Governor
Entering the Red Underworld City, the familiar style of the Great Wilderness made Sun Zongyuan and his party breathe a sigh of relief, although it was obvious that they had also rested in Yanhuang Kingdom, but they were still familiar to them in general.
Outside the Red Underworld City, the terrifying scene on the vast plain has completely subverted their view of the world, life and values, referred to as the "Three Views of Destruction", in front of the general of the Yanhuang State who created all this, they still dare to have a trace of arrogance, trembling with the Black Nightmare soldiers who led them, to the temporarily requisitioned mansion.
Along the way, the generals of the county couldn't help but be amazed, they were on the periphery of the Chi Hades Mansion, and the Zu Li Kingdom had been fighting fiercely for a long time without an inch, and they didn't understand how the general of the Yanhuang Kingdom only led less than two songs, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they took the Chi Hades Mansion so bloodlessly, how could they be embarrassed?
They have seen the military appearance and discipline of the Black Tare Army, and the difference between them and the Rong soldiers under their command is heaven and earth, but those Black Tare Army soldiers who followed the action of the Yanhuang State Danshan Ship compared with the personal guard battalion guarding the mansion, but they don't know how much worse Lu Dao is, it is obvious that the soldiers of these personal guard battalions should be the Yanhuang personal soldiers brought from Yanhuang from Yanhuang Country.
Carefully looked at the Yanhuang soldiers who were tall and round-waisted, standing upright like javelins, and a group of Rong generals behind the county were all envious.
But the question is, they are just small soldiers guarding the door! Do you want to be so extravagant? Take soldiers with good clothes and prison goods as guards?
If one or two, a small team is placed by the side to act as a guard, and it is okay to have a strong face, but can there be a battalion of soldiers and prison soldiers guarding the door?
But what can be done, people Yanhuang have a lot of wealth, even the animal-level soldiers who have just started to forge their bodies, they eat Baigu Dan, but all the soldiers who have reached the grade eat thousands of grain pills, no matter what kind of power they have, when they hear Yanhuangguo's extravagant behavior, they all have the urge to scold/mother, are you so showy?
As for the above products, not to mention, people have the secret blood essence pill of the sect, and when it comes to the prison product, there is a blood soul pill directly, and after taking it, you can actually obtain the power of the blood soul!
In contrast, what is the matter with those bloodline families that have been passed down for thousands of years and are nervous and ordered to not marry outside the clan to ensure that the family blood does not flow out?
As for this group of Shirong clans under the command of Zhongrong County, after coming into contact with the true essence of Yanhuang Kingdom, they are even more bitter, it is really more human than human! Now that Zhongrong County has gone from a monarch to a minister, which one does not owe a large amount of money to Yanhuang Kingdom?
In order to obtain the standard equipment of the Black Nightmare Army, the nine losers of the Zhongrong County King and the Sun Clan, in order to ascend to the throne of the county king, have almost sold out the land of Zhongrong Jiufu!
The people of the Sun family can still have some family wealth to sell, but these Shirong clans, who have learned literature and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family, can only smash pots and sell iron, and they can't wait to sell their sons and daughters.
Don't buy?
Their Shirong clan relied on this to eat, everyone bought it, but your family didn't buy it, and in the future, they would have the confidence to compete for power and profit with other Shirong families?
But now, after taking a look at the real family background of Yanhuang Country, they realized that the goods they bought with all their money were simply things that Yanhuang Kingdom used to fool the two fools, so how big is the psychological gap between them?
A cadre of the county subordinate, with a complicated mood with the county into the mansion, but was immediately taken aback by the Li people in the palace waiting hall, sitting in two columns, waiting for a closer look, the dozens of Li chiefs led by them, one by one the vitality of the body, even the highest level of strength among them, can not use the art of qi observation, judge their strength level, no matter what grade they are, anyway, it will not be what they will be able to provoke.
If it weren't for Zhilu Dao, with the strength of the Yanhuang Kingdom, it would be impossible for them to vote for the Zuli Kingdom, and they would have thought that the general of the Yanhuang Kingdom had defected to the enemy, and they would have been killed in the enemy's lair.
After the two sides saluted for a while, Gu Yi, who was sitting at the head of the main hall, asked with a kind smile: "I don't know what the county came to say?"
Sun Zongyuan, the son of the twelve counties, although he was a little trembling, but this matter was related to the position of the king of the county, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Zongyuan and his generals led a large army to attack the Chi Hades Mansion, and were blocked at the border by the rebellion of the Zu Li State, and suddenly saw the Li people fully withdrawing their troops, so I heard that the general had entered the Red Hades City, and I didn't know ......."
Gu Yi nodded with a smile: "Yes! Yes, yes! The tribes of the Li tribe are also bewitched by the three Li kings, and they are suffering from the war, and they have now killed the first evil Tatar Li King, the Indigo Li King and the Tantar Li King, and they are also concerned about my Yanhuang country, and the twelve Li people have come to vote, and now they have joined my Yanhuang country, do you have any questions?"
Listening to Gu Yi's aggravated tone of the word "question", Sun Zongyuan and his generals from the Shirong and the two lines all opened their mouths wide and couldn't speak, and in a hurry, Sun Zongyuan hurriedly asked: "But this Red Hades Mansion is my Zhongrong territory, how can the general ......?"
"Huh, the Red Underworld Mansion is the territory of Zhongrong?"
Gu Yi said in surprise: "How did I hear that the Chi Hades Mansion has already declared itself self-reliant, separated from Zhongrong County, and was later destroyed by the Li people, renamed Zu Li Kingdom, and now the chief of Zu Li Country is ambushed, and the people of Zu Li Kingdom voluntarily come to my Yanhuang Kingdom, how can it be said that Chi Hades Mansion is still Zhongrong territory?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, this ...... That's a bit shameless, isn't it?
A general of the Rong clan with a fierce temperament said angrily: "General, what does this mean? Could it be that your Yanhuang Kingdom plans to invade the territory of my Zhongrong County!"
"Huh?"
Gu Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he sneered: "Invasion? I want territory in Yanhuang Kingdom, and I still need to occupy it?"
The general of the Narong clan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and reacted to the one in front of him, but the commander of the Yanhuang Kingdom, his own Rong clan soldiers were able to rush to the Chi Hades Mansion so quickly, and made many military exploits, but thanks to the escort of the Danshan ship under the command of the people, he was fully responsible for the logistics and armament.
If you really want to talk about invasion, can people afford to spend so much effort and make so many detours? With the current combat strength of the Black Nightmare Army, it is enough to directly unify Zhongrong County, so what else is there to do with them?
If you put yourself in your shoes and think about it, they didn't send troops to capture the Red Underworld, they failed to take the Red Underworld, and the Li people killed the three chieftains by themselves and threw themselves into the Yanhuang Kingdom.
If you don't take the initiative to encroach, you don't take the initiative to encroach, but how stupid do you have to be to not eat the fat meat that is sent to the door? If it were them, they wouldn't do it, right?
As for whether the Yanhuang Kingdom can unify Zhongrong County, no one really thinks about this issue, not to mention those strange things with great magical powers on the Red Netherworld Plain, as well as the Heavenly Palace floating above this Red Netherworld City, just the Black Nightmare Army in the hands of others is enough to turn this Zhongrong Jiufu over and play, back and forth eight times!
Seeing that Gu Yi had the intention of turning his face, Sun Zongyuan suddenly panicked, he, the twelve counties, could be qualified to compete for the position of county king, most of the reason was because of the general of the Yanhuang Kingdom in front of him, how dare he compete with the other party, and hurriedly said: "General Muye is open-mouthed, please don't worry about General Gu, he is also anxious...... It's just that in the Biyun Palace, didn't the general say that the Yanhuang Kingdom and the Black Nightmare Army will remain neutral and will not participate in the conquest of the Nine Mansions?"
Gu Yi spread his hands with an innocent face: "We didn't participate?"
Sun Zongyuan was speechless for a while, yes? It is true that the people did not send a large army to suppress the border, and they did not spend a single sword, how can they be regarded as participating in the conquest of the Nine Mansions? This Red Underworld Mansion is a gift from the Li clan ...... But what did he think was wrong?
Gu Yi sneered and said, "Oh, by the way, in addition to this Red Underworld Mansion, there is another matter, it is estimated that the county will know the Tao sooner or later, just inform you by the way......"
Before he finished his words, Sun Zongyuan and the two generals of Shirong under his command felt bad, and sure enough, they listened to him: "The lord of Donglai Kingdom, Donglai Yuye sent someone a few days ago to say that he is willing to reconcile with my Yanhuang Kingdom with the fifteen cities adjacent to my Yanhuang Kingdom, so as to compensate for the previous attack on my Yanhuang Kingdom, and plan to establish a generational diplomatic relationship with my Yanhuang Kingdom and not invade each other, and also ask my Yanhuang family to join hands to conspire with this Zhongrong County......"
The people present were in an uproar, some were shocked, some were pale, and their legs were weak.
But this matter is bad news for Zhongrong County, Zhongrong County can barely maintain it in front of him, almost all of it depends on the face of the woman, please move this Yanhuang country to help, if Yanhuang Kingdom is pulled over by that Donglai Ye, Zhongrong County's Sun clan will really be doomed!
Now don't say it's the Red Underworld Mansion, if they don't have the goods in their hands, they all want to send a few more cities to this Yanhuang Kingdom!
Sun Zongyuan's little face was white, and his frightened tone soared upward: "Didn't the general agree?"
Gu Yi snorted and said, "Fifteen cities want to buy my Yanhuang Kingdom, regardless of the previous attack, how can there be such a cheap thing!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The general understands the righteousness!"
Sun Zong Yuanxi said in a hurry, completely forgetting that just now he still wanted to take the Red Hades Mansion back from others.
But Gu Yi's words changed, and he put on an indignant face and said: "Fifteen cities want to cover up the fact that he attacked our Yanhuang Kingdom's crimes!? These fifteen cities are to compensate for the losses of our Yanhuang Kingdom, and the matter has to be calculated separately!"
The county and his entourage suddenly had the urge to faint to the ground collectively, and Gu Yi kindly comforted them: "But the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of taking people are short, so I Yanhuangguo only agreed to remain neutral and not participate in the conquest of Zhongrong County, you see that we are righteous enough, right!?"
Sun Zongyuan wanted to die, but he couldn't say anything, and in this situation, it was not appropriate for him to say anything, and he would condemn Yanhuang Guo for defecting to the enemy? If he wanted to provoke this bad-tempered general Yanhuang, and joined forces with Donglai Kingdom in a fit of anger, the fall of Zhongrong County would really be in an instant.
Yanhuang Kingdom remains neutral and does not help each other, it seems that it is really the best situation.
After thinking about it, Sun Zongyuan accepted his fate, but it was the Red Underworld Mansion and the Fifteen Cities, and it was better to have a few cities than to push the Yanhuang Kingdom to the opposite side of Zhongrong County, causing the entire Zhongrong County to lose its strength.
But the problem is that the only task that he, the twelve counties, can compete for the throne of the county king, is to conquer this Red Underworld City and pacify the Li Chaos, but in the blink of an eye, the Red Underworld City has voted for the Yanhuang Kingdom, so is his task completed or failed?
Seeing the sadness on Sun Zongyuan's face, Gu Yi secretly laughed, and said hypocritically: "I, Yanhuang Kingdom, have always kept my promise, and if I say that I am neutral, I will definitely not favor those rebellious princes, but well, the fifteen cities of Donglai Kingdom will definitely not be returned to them." ”
Sun Zongyuan heard what Gu Yi said, the fifteen cities of the people are not going to be returned, let alone the land of one mansion and nine cities in your Zhongrong County!
Looking at the people who were lost and depressed, Gu Yi glanced at them sympathetically, suddenly sighed, and said: "The county doesn't have to worry, this Chi Hades Mansion is also under the heroic command of the Junzi, and it can't withstand the blow, which forced Li Min to be war-weary, and it can be regarded as the merit of the county, although it is impossible for my Yanhuang Kingdom to return the Chi Hades Mansion to Zhongrong County, but the merit of the county to conquer Li Chao cannot be erased......"
Hearing this, Sun Zongyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, the nine cities of the Red Underworld Mansion are only, if the credit is counted on his head, then his chances of sitting on the throne of the county king are greater, the most important thing is that this Yanhuang general has something to say, if he can get his support, it will definitely be a big help for him to compete for the position of county king!
Among the nine counties of the Zhuan Sun clan, he can be assigned to the barren land of Chi Hades Mansion, and the status of his Sun Zongyuan is not high, you must know that if the battle for the position of the county king fails, the land of the nine mansions that has been attacked and defeated will be very likely to be the feudal land of their counties in the future.
With his mind racing, Sun Zongyuan hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Please teach me!"
Gu Yi smiled, and said in his heart, "The son can be taught", but he coughed twice on his face, and said: "Although the Chi Hades Mansion is the gift that Li Min dedicated to my Yanhuang Kingdom as a gift for that service, and now it is nominally the territory of my Yanhuang Kingdom, but the county has also made great efforts to recover the Chi Hades Mansion, so on behalf of the Yan Huang Kingdom, I ask the county to be the 'honorary governor' of my Yanhuang Country's Chi Ming Province, I don't know what the county wants?"
Honorary Governor? What kind of official position is this?
Sun Zongyuan and the others were dumbfounded, and after a while, one of his scholars reacted, quietly poked Sun Zongyuan in the back, signaled him to agree, and he accepted the position of "honorary governor" with some puzzlement.
