Chapter 168: The Proposal to Go North
"Lord of the Temple, I'm back. Wu Feng said to Deng Aihou.
Wu Feng didn't explain the reason, so he asked for leave for more than two days, but Deng Aihou didn't ask. He understands that for a talent like Wu Feng, the other party needs to be allowed to have a certain amount of personal space.
"When you come back, continue to work hard, train hard, and master your own tactics as soon as possible, so that you can go into battle. Deng Aihou said.
Wu Feng nodded and said, "Hall Master, I have a new proposal. ”
Deng Aihou was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy. He knew that with Wu Feng's intelligence, he would definitely be able to come up with another clever plan.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered everyone to retreat, covered the doors and windows, and said, "Little Brother Xie, what are your tricks?"
Wu Feng smiled: "It's not a clever strategy, it's just a plan to judge the situation." Does the hall master have the heart to march into the east of the river?"
When Deng Aihou heard this, he hurriedly said: "The land east of the river is flat and fertile, far better than the spiritual treasure full of mountains and mountains, if you can enter the army, the benefits can be described as incalculable! ”
The Divine Hall only has a few tribes in the land of Merging States, but just one Valley of Forgotten Worries has a huge amount of oil and water.
Wu Feng said: "If you want to occupy the Hedong Basin, it is impossible, but if you want to get a piece of the pie, it is not difficult. Now that the Valley of Forgotten Worries has been destroyed, a vacuum has been formed in Bingzhou, and the Divine Hall has been hit hard by the Xue Yi people, and it is unable to rebuild its power, so we can profit from it. If it drags on too long, and waits for this vacuum to be occupied, it will be too late......"
When Deng Aihou heard this, he touched his chin and said: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but one is not famous, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not allow me to expand its power, and the other is that our faction has no foundation in Hedong, and it will definitely be resisted by the local wealthy clans......"
Wu Feng said categorically: "After the destruction of the Valley of Forgotten Worries, Hedong County became more and more rampant with bandits, and a small force was sent to enter Hedong in the name of participating in the suppression of bandits. The three kings of arrogance, counter-war, and mediocrity with heavy bribes, and even the puppet emperor Luo Feng should also send treasures to obtain permission. Several people were not in agreement. They only consider their own interests, and do not consider the interests of Da Zhou, and they will definitely move Yang Qi together and allow us to send troops into Hedong to suppress bandits. ”
Deng Aihou muttered: "It sounds feasible. However, for a person of real power like the Three Kings. Not only do you have to move to make profits, but you also need to convince them with words, what reason is it better?"
Wu Feng said with a smile: "The Great Zhou Dynasty's ability to control the Hedong region is not very good. Our Iwakura has limited strength, and we are not the top martial arts factions like Shentang and Tianzi Peak. After entering Hedong, it will not expand to the extent that the tail is too big, and it can also contain the wealthy families in the Hedong region. The hall lord has always shown loyalty to the Guanzhong side, and the money and grain that should be paid are never in arrears, which can reassure the Guanzhong side, if we take a piece of the pie in Hedong, Da Zhou can also get more money and food......"
Deng Aihou nodded and said: "In this way, this matter can indeed be described as a win-win situation, so that the other party is convinced." ”
"After all, Yang Qi and the Four Pillars of Guanzhong will be jealous of Su Mengzhen and Xue Yiren's ambitions at most. I don't think the hall master is ambitious. Hiding in the shadows isn't necessarily a bad thing. Wu Feng was authentic at the right time, without half a word of praise, but flattered Deng Aihou without a trace.
Deng Aihou couldn't help but be happy and said, "Not bad, not bad." When my Iwakura strength is enough, Yang Qi will no longer be able to control it!" he looked excited, and he had already sketched a picture of his domination of the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River.
But what Wu Feng thought in his heart was: How could you have thought that I would be ambitious? And it is only a big ambition compared to yours!
"Then, I will let the Hua military division handle the matter of negotiating with the Great Zhou Dynasty. Deng Aihou said.
Hua Zongdai's identity is sufficient. Last time, he also successfully presided over the alliance with Tianzi Peak.
"Hua Junshi is a gentle and talkative person, good at diplomacy, and is fully competent in this matter. Wu Feng also said.
Deng Aihou asked again: "So, who should I send to Hedong?"
Wu Feng said: "It's best to pay more attention to the traffic of cars and horses on weekdays. Someone who knows what is going on in the Quartet. The strength should not be too strong, because it is a small army, and there are too many people, which is easy to arouse the vigilance of the wealthy family. After entering Hedong, there is no need to compete with the Hao clan for territory, and only need to connect with various chambers of commerce while suppressing bandits. The Chamber of Commerce will inevitably seek refuge from our faction, so that we can reap the benefits of the business circle, and even more so, we will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the industries outside the Valley of Forgotten Worries. Therefore, this person also needs to be able to adapt to the situation. ”
When Deng Aihou heard this, he couldn't help but groan, thinking about whether there was a suitable candidate.
Wu Feng understands that at this time, he will have to use the strategy of wanting to catch the old man.
"How is the prince?" Wu Feng asked in a tentative tone.
Deng Aihou couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Sanshi's talent, of course, is no problem. However, he is a little narrow-minded, and last time he was inexplicably jealous of you, and attacked you with a group of people. And now you recommend him?"
Wu Feng said: "Juxian does not avoid revenge, I only do my best to serve the hall master." ”
When Deng Aihou heard this, he high-fived and praised: "Okay! You admit that you hold a grudge, this is your true temperament, Sanshi really can't stand you, no wonder you hold a grudge." With his stubbornness, it is difficult for me to persuade him to apologize to you. However, if you can not misunderstand the business with hatred, you are an extraordinary person. ”
Wu Feng blinked and calmly accepted Deng Aihou's appreciation.
Deng Aihou sighed and said, "It's just Sanshi's temperament, let him go to Hedong, and he will exile him from me...... Well, I'll go ask him first. But if he does not want to, I will send you with the camp of white clothes. The newly built Baiyi Battalion is in need of training, and you come from Hedong, who is familiar with the local conditions and is suitable for work. ”
Wu Feng said in his heart that this matter was done, but his expression was not shocked, and he said: "If the hall master has an order, he will definitely serve it." However, no matter who the hall master chooses, he must remember that there is no suspicion in employing people, and this is an excellent opportunity to expand Iwakura's power, and it must not be missed. ”
Deng Aihou nodded, and said, "Little Brother Xie, I have something for you." ”
Wu Feng saw Deng Aihou take out a few pages from his arms, handed them to Wu Feng, and said, "The cultivation method of the Divine Hall is of the same origin as my Iwakura, and there is no difference. This is the key to my Iwakura Town Sect's peerless learning - Rock Collapse Palm, although you are a guest, but you have made meritorious contributions several times, I will give it to you. If you don't understand something, just ask me. ”
After speaking, Deng Aihou took out three more objects like rock candy and said, "This is the heart of Snow Rock." If you chew this Snow Rock Heart before the battle, you can increase a certain amount of combat power for a period of time, and the Rock Collapse Palm will increase the power the most because of the compatibility with the Snow Rock Heart. The lower the cultivation, the more useful this thing becomes, and when the cultivation is high, that improvement can be ignored. ”
Wu Feng was happy in his heart. For him, his father had left enough treasure that it was not important to reward him with money. But the value of the secret is huge. The last time he rewarded a piece of the bone inscription of the unicorn beast, it made him feel like a smooth sail, and he broke through several difficulties in his cultivation in a row, and the momentum of the sharp rise in cultivation has not stopped, and after returning from Yunhai Lan last night, he immediately broke through to the Triple Heaven of the Blood Exchange Realm.
Wu Feng took the secret note and said, "Then I will worship the reward of the hall master." ”
......
That night, at the dinner table, Deng Aihou said to Deng Sanshi: "Sanshi, I have something to tell you." ”
When Deng Sanshi heard this, he said, "Father, if there is anything, please tell me." ”
Deng Aihou told Wu Feng's strategy, but he didn't say it from Wu Feng's mouth, only said that it was his own idea.
Deng Sanshi clapped his hands and said, "Father, what a clever plan." In this way, Iwakura's economic strength will definitely be able to expand again, which will be conducive to preparing for war. ”
His vision is limited, and he only sees the financial benefits involved. In fact, by relying on the chamber of commerce in Hedong and using the network of various chambers of commerce, it is better to obtain military strength and actual territorial control.
Deng Aihou said with a smile: "How about sending you to Hedong with eighty elite warriors to take care of this matter?"
Deng Sanshi was shocked when he heard this.
He knew that he couldn't take too many people with him, otherwise it would be detrimental to Iwakura's garrison.
However, Deng Sanshi was reused by Deng Aihou, and there were more than 200 people who could be summoned inside Iwakura, so letting him only take 80 people to Hedong was simply a reduction in power for him.
Deng Sanshi is also ambitious. Seeing that Deng Aihou exiled Deng Rong, Deng Sanshi inevitably had this idea in his heart. If you go to Hedong, you will have to stay there most of the time, and you don't know how many years it will take to come back, which is really not conducive to expanding your influence in the Iwakura Palace.
He immediately said, "Father honed my mind, and the child understood. But as the son of the hall master, it is really easy to arouse the vigilance of those wealthy families by personally taking people to Hedong, and it is inconvenient to act, so it is better to change someone. ”
Deng Aihou sighed secretly in his heart: I know this, if you go, you will definitely be able to greatly improve your ability, and if you don't see the wind and rain in the Iwakura Palace, how can you grow up?
"So, how about Xie Yi?" Deng Aihou said.
Hearing this, Deng Sanshi said: "Father, don't do it!"
Deng Aihou said: "Why?"
Deng Sanshi said: "In the Middle Ages, there was a single ride into Jingzhou. Jingzhou was chaotic, the imperial court sent a famous man to pacify, after this person obtained the name, recruited the wealthy family, beheaded the disobedient, and exterminated the thieves, so the vast Jingzhou completely became the private property of this person. Xie Yi is not a good person, if he is sent to Hedong, the benefits obtained will be cheaper for him!"
When Deng Aihou heard this, he remembered what Wu Feng said to him, "Don't be suspicious of employing people", and sneered: "Don't you know, this strategy was thought up by Xie Yi, and he also told me that he thinks you are the most suitable for this matter......
When Deng Sanshi heard this, he said in his heart: "This ...... This is Xie Yi's plan to get away with it!"
Deng Aihou said with a mocking look: "If you want to capture the old people, then are you willing to go yourself?" (To be continued.) )
