Chapter 128: The Situation Changes
The core of Dongzhou is the Nine Underworlds, and there are four hundred cities in each of the four directions of the Nine Underworlds, and there are no obvious boundaries or barriers from the moats, just a rough division. The four hundred cities east of the Nine Underworld are not rich, but the Saint Realm powerhouses who have split the earth and seal the marquis like to cut a part of the fief here as the territory controlled by their own families, resulting in the most Saint Realm powerhouses here.
In the territory of the Holy Realm, all taxes are controlled by themselves, all positions and various incomes are also controlled by themselves, and even the expansion of the army is not limited. Therefore, even if it is a feudal marquis, there will not be too much land to divide, and twenty or thirty cities is the limit.
However, even if there are only twenty or thirty cities, the Nine Underworld is worried that they will have troops and self-respect, and there is nothing to fear from one marquis, but if multiple vassals are united, it is not a joke. Therefore, on the basis of handing over the fiefdom to them for complete autonomy, the Nine Underworld issued a rule: the situation of the people's livelihood in the territory must be truthfully reported.
The Nine Underworlds have already promised not to interfere with you, just let you report the situation of people's livelihood, and you have nothing to lose, if you don't even agree to this little thing, then it can only mean that you have a bad heart. However, this provision alone has made many feudal and powerful people feel like they are in a hurry: If you want to expand your army, you can't, if you want to report it, if you don't report it, you will be regarded as having a bad intention, if you want to open up wasteland, you have to report it, and if you want to support business, you have to report it......
No matter what you do, you have to report it, if you don't report it, it is antipathy, if you hide it, it is even more risky, even if you don't do anything in the Nine Underworlds, don't say anything, as long as your information is placed on the table of the high-level of the Nine Underworlds, then you can't take risks for a day.
When the details of a force are all figured out, or even by another force that is many times stronger than oneself, no matter who is restless, most of the holy realms are unwilling to be sealed.
But the place east of the Nine Underworlds is different: there is the sea.
The east of the eastern area is an endless ocean, and overseas is composed of many islands, most of these islands are unusable, or simply desert islands, and although the resources in the sea are abundant, the difficulty of use is also very high, and the degree of danger makes the virtual realm have to be cautious, but therefore the difficulty of monitoring is also the highest. There are infinite dangers here, but also infinite possibilities.
The nameless military advisor who recently took refuge in Ling Xiyue sat at home, and he could know what was going on in the world, the movements of the entire four hundred cities in the southern region were under his control, and anyone's abnormal movements could not escape his eyes, and the changes in the situation in the entire Dongzhou were also in his city, but only the four hundred cities in the eastern region, he couldn't see clearly.
"Of the four hundred cities in the Eastern District, there are nine feudal marquises who occupy two hundred cities, but the other two hundred cities are also under their control, but their holy realm families are all from more than one holy realm, how many holy realms there are in Dongzhou, how many virtual realms, how many armies, and what the army is good at, I don't know anything. The potential of the Holy Martial Candidate is endless, but unless the God of Martial Arts comes out, within thirty years, it is absolutely impossible to provoke the nine feudal marquis of the Eastern District. These are the exact words of the military advisor.
Don't provoke within thirty years, you must know that Ling Xiyue herself is only eighteen years old! It is better to say that only the god of martial arts can fight their idea, so the possibility is higher, Ling Xiyue asked herself that she has a strength comparable to that of a god of martial arts, it will definitely not take thirty years.
It's false to say that you don't know anything, but if all the information you find is fake, then it's better to pretend that you don't know anything.
Even if it was the Nine Underworlds, their strength was visible, but the strength of the Eastern Region was in the fog, so Ling Xiyue and Jiang Ming had no intention of provoking them.
However, in this eventful season, the nine feudal powerhouses of the Eastern District announced their alliance.
"Aren't they often fighting among themselves, and they all have a deep enmity with each other!, how could they form an alliance!" If it weren't for the fact that this information was repeatedly confirmed, Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue would not have believed it.
"The nine feudal marquis of the Eastern Region compete for overseas interests all day long, and there is indeed a deep hatred between them, but no matter how big the hatred is, it can't compare to the interests. ”
The military advisor said, "Now they have elected Gohou as the leader of the alliance, in fact, no one obeys each other, but if they can survive in the Eastern Region, no one will say stupid, after all, they have no brains, and they have already been sent by the Nine Underworld to clean up because of the things that cannot be said between each other, so instead of waiting until they suffer a proud loss and then form an alliance, it is better to form an alliance in advance, strike first, and reap some benefits as soon as possible, so as to deter other forces." ”
"Now that the nine feudal marquis of the Eastern Region have formed an alliance, it is time for the north and the west to unite!" Jiang Ming said.
"It won't be so fast, the West is on the verge of the battlefield, it seems that multiple forces are fighting for hegemony, but in fact, it has long fallen into the control of the Nine Underworlds, and it can't turn over the wind and waves at all, and although there are only three forces in the four hundred cities in the north, these three forces are originally three alliances, and if they are united again, it will only cause the north to collapse. ”
The military advisor looked disdainful and regretful, "In the alliance, the big forces want to annex the small forces, and the small forces must beware of the big forces, unless there are peerless figures in the north, it will only end up being annexed by others." It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that we're separated from the north by a Nine Underworld, and even if the northern region is divided by someone, it's a matter of the Nine Underworld and the Eastern Region, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
"Aggressiveness is necessary, but greed will only bring disaster to yourself. ”
Jiang Ming said, "In addition to the potential advantage, we have no other advantages, and it is the best choice to be alone." ”
Yun Xu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly interjected: "You also said the same thing last year, and as a result, you won the entire Southern District. ”
Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue were a little embarrassed when they heard this, they really didn't have this plan at first, but they didn't expect the process of reunification to be too smooth, but no matter what, they all won the entire Southern District.
"Okay, military advisor, since the military power has been handed over to you, then you can take any ideas yourself, and discuss what we need to do when we need to do it, otherwise this kind of trivial matter will not need to ask us, it will be too wasteful of time and affect efficiency. Ling Xiyue felt that it was okay, so she withdrew from the military division.
Now that the powerhouses of the Holy Realm have gathered, they are about to discuss the latest progress in martial arts! Is there anything more important than this? Ling Xiyue was already a little impatient with the military advisor.
The military advisor had to retreat with a wry smile.
He couldn't help but wonder at times: Does the Holy Martial Hou attach importance to himself or not? Let's say he doesn't pay attention to it! Whether it is to monitor the movements of the various Void Realm families, or the power of soldiers and horses is in his hands, and even the economic power has only sent a Li Xiaoxiang to supervise him, and no matter how big or small, he will be left to deal with it. He also raised the question of his lack of skills, but Ling Xiyue's reply was only one: "You decide for yourself." ”
gave him so much power, and even handed over the appointment and dismissal of talents and important positions to him, if there was any dissenting intention to change a military advisor, then Ling Xiyue would have been hollowed out a long time ago.
However, other than that, Ling Xiyue didn't even ask his name, and the three cores of the Wuhou Mansion didn't talk to him much at all if it wasn't necessary: because they had to study martial arts. Anyway, as long as he presents the results of the matter, he will be fine, and the rest has nothing to do with him, even if it is the result of the submission, he has not seen a few things asked by the Holy Martial Guard. There is not a single reward or anything.
He also hinted at the question of rewards a few times, and Jiang Ming's reply was also very simple: "What you want, go get it yourself, and write a list for us later." ”
Then he realized that he didn't seem to need anything, he just needed a stage to show his talents, and this stage Saint Wu Hou had already given him.
"Yun Void, you have been in retreat for so many days, have you solved the problem of transferring to the cultivation method?"
Du Heshan preemptively said: "The problem of the transfer of the True Yuan Realm before, my uncle has already solved it for a long time, and the transfer of the True Yuan Realm, we have indeed come up with a solution, but the cost is too great." ”
"The price is too great, what price?" Ling Xiyue asked.
......
The military advisor who was about to leave outside the main hall listened to the eager scene of several people discussing martial arts, and there was confusion in his eyes.
