Chapter 432: Stealing the Dragon Vein
After that, things will be simple, and after the initial contact between the two sides, they will find that the world on the other side is not a soft persimmon, so it will be easy to communicate after that.
Visit each other, communicate with each other, and even learn from each other. Xiao Hao just handed all this to his subordinates, and it was enough for him to control the general direction. As an emperor, you shouldn't be entangled in these miscellaneous things every day.
In fact, Xiao Hao's affairs are not easy, dealing with the relationship between the two worlds, and squeezing the interests of the other world through various methods and strategies. Using commercial and other means, Asahi easily gained enough benefits from the chaotic Tamagawa Shenzhou. Yuchuan Shenzhou has not completed unification, there are still several large empires and many powerful, united kingdoms and so on.
This Yuchuan Shenzhou is also very wonderful, probably because of the willingness to practice vindictiveness, their politics are more inclined to martial arts politics, a bit of the characteristics of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in the history of the world's Chinese history, whoever has the big fist, who is the king.
And taking advantage of this phenomenon, Xiao Hao, or Xu Guo, easily looted countless resources, and even the geniuses of the other party. Countless treasures and so on, endlessly imported into Xuguo and Dongsheng Shenzhou.
This kind of action made Tamagawa Shenzhou very dissatisfied, but they really understood the strength of Xuguo, and as long as they wanted, Xuguo could crush them - unless they could unite with the outside world. But there is a very acute problem in martial arts politics, they are straightforward, hold grudges, and face each other with swords if they disagree, unless they really face a life-and-death crisis in the end, they are definitely fighting on their own.
Time passed little by little, and the exchanges between the two worlds became more and more frequent, and Xuguo also continued to continue to have strength and materials during this time.
But there is a major project in the country of Xu, which has already begun.
"Your Majesty, it has been successful. Finally, one day three years later, Wang Qian returned. brought back the information that Xiao Hao had been waiting for for a long time.
"Really!" Hearing this, even Xiao Hao's city government stood up with some surprise now, "Let me see!"
"Okay!" Wang Qian took a step back, and Liu Yafeng, a painter of the school, stepped forward and saw Liu Yafeng slowly unfolding a picture scroll, but when he saw the light flashing, the picture on the scroll actually showed a three-dimensional feeling and floated. Become a three-dimensional projection.
"Is this the map of Yuchuan Shenzhou?" Xiao Hao's eyes widened, looking at the "picture" in front of him. "This is what the painter school has been working on day and night for two years?"
"Yes!" Liu Yafeng's tone and demeanor were full of pride, "In order to make a map of the Yuchuan Divine Prefecture, in the past two years, all the idle disciples of our painter school have been wandering around and observing the terrain of the Yuchuan Divine Prefecture. ”
Xiao Hao looked around this map, looked at it again and again, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. "Okay! Later, the two of you will go to the Prime Minister and receive the reward according to the regulations. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Whether it was Wang Qianhai and Liu Yafeng, he was suddenly overjoyed.
"Wang Qian. Tell me about this time. ”
"Yes. Wang Gan's expression was serious all of a sudden, and he pointed to the map and began to explain, "Your Majesty, this Yuchuan Shenzhou is just like its name, there are actually four huge mountain ranges on the Shenzhou, almost in the shape of 'ten', dividing the Yuchuan Shenzhou into almost equal four points. In the center is the Heavenly Pillar, which spreads out in all directions with four huge mountain ranges. And this also divides Tamagawa Shenzhou into four parts that are almost difficult to communicate with each other.
Near the center of the pillar is a barren jungle. It's the world of demons. There are also demon clans in this world, but they occupy the best part of Yuchuan Shenzhou. They also did not expand externally.
A little to the periphery, there is the world of half-orcs and barbarians, and then to radiate outward, there is a relatively stable place, which is the world of the human race.
To the south of this world is the ocean, just like our East China Sea. There is no end in sight.
In Yuchuan Shenzhou, there are four powerful empires, namely the four empires of Ziyang, Yuchuan, Wuyuan, and Shenshan. Among them, Mount Kinabalu is a country similar to the integration of religion and state, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and should not be underestimated.
And because the four main mountain ranges of Tamagawa Shenzhou show an east-west, north-south trend. Therefore, it is directly called the four major mountain ranges of east, west, north and south.
Among them is the North Mountain, and there are already several small countries along the way who are willing to befriend us, so that we can organize the mountain range and mobilize the dragon veins.
The only problem is that if we want to guide the dragon vein of Yuchuan Shenzhou, we must pass through the territory of the southern demon clan and the barbarian clan, which has a lot of difficulties. ”
"There is no difficulty!" Xiao Hao smiled confidently, "It's just that the interests are evenly distributed." Only we have the means to channel the dragon vein. And if the dragon vein of Yuchuan Divine Prefecture is guided, our family can't swallow so much. Just take the opportunity to win over a few allies. ”
"Allies?, allies with the demon barbarians?" Many people around were suddenly shocked by Xiao Hao's somewhat absurd idea.
"Yes!" Xiao Hao looked around with a smile, "Ally." In fact, if you think about it from a business perspective, you can find that in many cases, the so-called allies are actually just interests. As long as the benefits are well distributed, these former enemies can become the most staunch allies. Don't think that the demon barbarians are monolithic. The demon clan is inherently fragmented, and isn't the barbarian tribe now divided into three branches: east, north, and south. And as long as there are enough interests, it is easy to pry into their relationship and make them our allies for the time being.
Anyway, after the dragon vein is migrated and connected, we are the biggest beneficiaries!"
"Okay!" Lan Hai agreed at this time, as the prime minister's thinking was indeed unusual, "I personally came forward to negotiate with the barbarian demon clan in this matter." ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Hao nodded, then looked at Tu Yong, "Teacher, please supervise the work of migrating the dragon vein." ”
"Simple, it's not the first time I've done something like this. It's just that this time it's a bit big, and it's going to steal the dragon vein of a god in Yuchuan Shenzhou. Haha, I like it!" Tu Yong suddenly bared his teeth and smiled. This Tu Yong was originally born as a butcher, although he later became a disciple of Lan Hai, but he was still "difficult to change in nature". Now that I have heard of such an opportunity, of course, I have recovered a little of my nature--extracting a dragon vein from Shenzhou, this seems to be another kind of butcher!
Blue Ocean set off the next day, and met with the Southern Demon Clan's Colorful Firebird Emperor Qian, and the Southern Velvet Holy Clan's Patriarch Heaven and Earth Fire. In fact, after hearing about the key words of interest equalization and dragon vein, the two parties immediately agreed. The desire for profit of the inhabitants of the wilderness, in the eyes of these peoples, is more direct, even undisguised.
Emperor Qian almost personally sent the blue ocean out of the demon clan's territory, and the heaven and earth fire gave the blue ocean the highest treatment.
Methods for migrating the dragon veins. Only the Terrans know, because it involves changes in luck, etc., which is an area that foreign races cannot touch, and they have never heard of those who are looking for dragon veins, but they have never heard of migrating dragon veins. But now, the Terrans have this ability, but they also need the help of luck and supernatural powers.
Actually, barbarians, demons, and so on. I have long been greedy for dragon vein and dragon qi, which is the essence of the "earth qi" of the three talents of heaven and earth, and it is a very important part of the human race to extract qi luck. Now that he has the opportunity to control a part of the dragon veins by himself, the demon clan and the barbarians in the south are of course overjoyed.
Heaven and earth are changing, and time is precious, so after negotiating the conditions, the three parties immediately began to move. As soon as the human race mobilized hundreds of millions of people here to start digging ditches and tidying up mountains and rivers. To guide the dragon vein, you need to use "popularity" to guide, which requires ordinary people to work. Because the master has jumped out of the five elements, he has built altars and so on since ancient times. It was not for nothing that many nobles kept slaves in captivity.
However, migrating the dragon vein is not a trivial matter after all, hundreds of millions of people opened the mountain together, and the demon tribe and barbarian human race of Dongsheng Shenzhou cooperated together, which inevitably attracted the attention of Yuchuan Shenzhou. Tamagawa Shenzhou is not a rice bucket either, and it was the first time to figure out what was going on.
Immediately, Yuchuan Shenzhou was furious, and he never thought that this Dongsheng Shenzhou would say one thing on the surface and do another thing behind his back! On the surface, everyone coexisted peacefully, but secretly he was preparing to steal the dragon vein of the entire Yuchuan Shenzhou.
"Stop your work now. Otherwise, it will provoke a big war between the two Shenzhou!" Shangguan Hu, the first prince of the Ziyang Empire, stood in front of Xiao Hao again and sternly expressed his dissatisfaction.
"You won't use the dragon vein anyway. Instead of doing you any harm, migrating the dragon veins is also beneficial, so why stop it?" Xiao Hao looked at the angry Shangguan Hu in front of him for a long time.
"What's the benefit?" Shangguan Hu also had his own judgment. The place bordering Dongsheng Shenzhou is the Ziyang Empire, so the most important thing for Shangguan Hu in this mission is not really to stop the shameless theft of Dongsheng Shenzhou, but the most important thing is to obtain enough benefits for the Ziyang Empire. Confrontation between countries. In fact, the core has never changed, and this is the "interest".
"First of all, you can't use the dragon vein, right? ”
"That's right!" Shangguan Hu did not hesitate. There are some things that there is no need to lie and cannot lie.
"Since you can't use it, then what do we have to use it. Although Xiao Hao's tone was flat, he also began to be a lot more stern, "And after we straighten out the dragon vein guidance, there will never be a disaster where the earth dragon turns over." You see, this is something that is beneficial to both sides, why should you oppose it! In fact, even if I hand over the dragon vein to you, you still can't use it. ”
"But there will always be a day when it can be activated!" Shangguan Hu is also relatively tough.
"Really?" Xiao Hao suddenly sneered, "Do you think how long the world can be peaceful now? Heaven and earth will return to the light, and the changes will only get worse and worse in the future." Now, who dares to talk about the future!
"I ...... You ......" Shangguan Hu was suddenly speechless by Xiao Hao. Of course, this is also Xiao Hao's words that are really irrefutable, and it is also the truth at this time. After all, in this bad era, in this time when the world has begun to return to the light, it is indeed a bit "unrealistic" to talk about the future!
"What, there's nothing to say!" Xiao Hao suddenly got up, and his imperial aura erupted, "Shangguan Hu, go back and tell the monarchs and ministers of the Ziyang Empire, just say that I, Xiao Hao, said so."
We took the dragon vein, but we still have a peaceful world for you. If you straighten out the dragon veins, you don't have to worry about earthquakes or other things even if there is a natural disaster in the future. That's what we're committed to. If you don't think it's enough, you can send troops and we'll have a fight!"
Xiao Hao left after speaking. If it were an ordinary country, Xiao Hao wouldn't want to use such an attitude, this was not a diplomatic posture that Dongsheng Shenzhou should have. But the other party is from Tamagawa Shenzhou, which is a country of martial artists and pursues martial politics. Under such a political situation, the kind of diplomatic strategy of Dongsheng Shenzhou's hidden edge is not suitable, but it is such a diplomacy that directly shows its claws and hideous cunning. is the right way.
"Humph!" Of course, Shangguan Hu was not satisfied with such a reply, but just as Xiao Hao envisioned, after such a tough threat, Yuchuan Shenzhou did not dare to act. After all, if this dragon vein is placed there, they won't use it. On the contrary, because they can't sort out the leylines. It leads to the stagnation of the earth's qi, and the so-called earth dragon often turns over, and each time it sleeps more or less once.
For the time being, the matter between the two sides seems to want to settle down like this.
But Xiao Hao did not relax, sometimes things and truths are often very simple, for example: biting dogs do not show teeth! Xiao Hao thinks that this is the current situation in Yuchuan Shenzhou. Xiao Hao was almost 100% sure that this Yuchuan Shenzhou was planning a counterattack!
"Your Majesty is really sure?" Zhang Yun, Han Sheng, Xiao Haiyun, Xiao Sihai, Sheng Zhan and other military generals of the Xu Kingdom expressed a little doubt.
"Ha," seeing the surprise of his own people, Xiao Hao was very happy to show his wisdom. "You are just military generals, and it is inevitable that you will think about things one-sidedly. Because your mind is often entangled in the battlefield.
But if you want to be a good manager, you have to understand politics.
As an emperor, I know the emperor's mind best. From the contact to the present, Yuchuan Shenzhou has not fought with us properly, but has been bullied by us many times, and they will definitely not be reconciled. If you don't say anything else, if you don't fight. Those emperors in the Yuchuan Divine Prefecture were embarrassed to talk to their subjects.
Let's put it this way, to fight or not to fight. It is a question of the emperor, victory or defeat is a question of the courtiers!
As a qualified emperor, you have to fight no matter what. Of course, it is good to win, even if it is a defeat, it does not matter, so that the emperor can put his own responsibility on his courtiers. ”
"Let's ......" Cold sweat flowed from the heads of these relatively simple generals as soon as possible. They're not stupid, they just didn't think about it for a while. At this moment, Xiao Hao was named. Only then did they realize that it was really dangerous to be a courtier.
Xiao Hao looked at everyone's frightened expressions and smiled with satisfaction, "But you don't have to worry about me, what kind of person am I, Xiao Hao." Everyone should also understand after so many years. I, Xiao Hao, sit in this position, not for rights, but for a responsibility. ”
In the end, Xiao Hao turned his gaze to the representatives of the surrounding nine streams and hundreds of workers.
"Your Majesty is merciful!" Kong Jinghai, the representative of Confucianism at the moment, directly surrendered his hand, "Your Majesty can win the hearts of the people in the world, not by political means, but by a sense of responsibility." No one in Confucianism has any objection to this. ”
The surrounding praise and praise were pouring out like a tide. Xiao Hao blushed when he heard it.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Seeing that the compliments began to get out of shape, Xiao Hao had to press down with both hands to frantically sycophant, "Let's get down to business." I think it won't be long before it is estimated that on the eve of the dragon vein connection, Yuchuan Shenzhou will attack, maybe it will be an attack by the four great empires, and there may even be barbarians and half-orcs from Yuchuan Shenzhou to attack.
Wang Qian, you go and contact the Velvet Saint Clan and the Demon Clan in the south and tell them that there is nothing in the world that is not earned for nothing!"
"Yes!" Wang Qian left immediately.
"It turns out that Your Majesty, you have already calculated. At this time, many people suddenly reacted, no wonder this time to steal the dragon vein, Xiao Hao resolutely asked to accept the demon clan and the barbarian, it turned out that the trap was here.
"Is this the so-called imperial mind?" Some military generals and some officials who had just entered the top level of the central government suddenly thought thoughtfully. If you want to gain a foothold in the court, you really can't do things without a clever heart.
Soon the demon clan and the southern velvet saint clan had a reply, although they were all very angry, they still had to accept Xiao Hao's conditions. After all, in the end, the two of them also benefited a lot from the dragon vein this time, and the place where Dongsheng Shenzhou and Yuchuan Shenzhou bordered was in the south, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Dragon Vein to be about to be rectified, and news finally came from the front, the four empires of Yuchuan Shenzhou finally couldn't sit still, and the army began to move. (To be continued......)
