Chapter 420: The Council of the High Priests
Seeing off Mr. Deng, Lan Li waved his sleeves and asked the attendants on the side, "Have the other high priests arrived?"
The attendant arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency, the priests of the other stockades have also arrived, and they have been invited to the venue."
"Then let's go too, and see what this group of people are going to say" Lan Li rolled up his sleeves and strode towards the venue.
Miaojiang has Jiuzhai Bimu, Yuanye, Cuifeng, Changlin, Cangzhu, Jinshi, Yinqing, Yihua, Yixuan. Jiuzhai has its own characteristics, among which the strength is the strongest in Bimu, followed by the wilderness. But in terms of geographical location, Bimu Village is the closest place to Shu County, so in the early years and the Lin family to resist the responsibility of the Lin family, most of them have Bimu to bear, the field and Bimu border, well versed in the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so and Bimu perennial friendship, the two together to resist the Lin family, although Cuifeng did not border with Shu County, but it is connected with the two villages, in the reasonable, but also gave the two a lot of support, Jiuzhai, these three villages have the deepest friendship with each other, the remaining six cottages because of the location of the peace, but each has a ghost, attacking each other.
After the high priest of Bimu Village, Lan Li, was instructed by Mr. Deng, first to integrate the cottage, and then to lead the three villages to fight against the invasion of the Lin family and became famous, focusing on the integration of Jiuzhai, after several twists and turns, after knowing the benefits, Jiuzhai established a joint meeting system, and publicly recommended Lan Li as the high priest of Jiuzhai, leading the forces of the nine Miao villages to resist the Lin family.
After Lan Li promised them a lot of benefits, each village began to cooperate with a series of actions arranged by Lan Li in order to thirst for thousands of years of living space, and today, it is not easy to finally control the entire Jianning Army, these high priests naturally want to come here to find Lan Li to ask for their own spoils.
"High Priest Lan has arrived!" A shout, through the corridor, the house on bamboo stilts immediately became quiet, and Lan Li came in and said to be the chairman, "Brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, everyone is gathered here today, what you want to do, you can also understand it below, come and get the map!" I saw a map of Jianning County being carried up, and different names were densely written in it. "Since the Lin family has retreated, it proves that we have won the victory at this stage, my blue gift rewards and punishments are clear, you have contributed to our people, presumably the division on this map will definitely satisfy everyone. ”
I saw that on the map, as the strength accumulated the most, the sacrifice was the greatest, Bimu, Yuanye, Cuifeng three, in addition to controlling a part of the important traffic geographical location, the real large area of land was given to Changlin, Cangzhu, Jinshi, Yinqing, Yihua, Yixuan six families, so that they suddenly increased a large territory. In this way, it is simply a big gift of three families cutting blood and selling meat, how can they be dissatisfied, after the six families saw it, they were full of praise, and they praised Lan Li for his insight, generosity, and generosity.
The dissatisfied expressions of the two high priests of Yuan Ye and Cuifeng were all written, but Lan Li signaled them to be calm, "If you don't have any doubts, just disperse and send people to guard these hard-won places", so the six cottages that had won a lot of money immediately left with their hands, and each sent someone to grab the territory that they had managed to reorganize, and the original conference venue, only three high priests and their respective cronies were left.
Lan Li waved his hand, "Hold on to the surroundings and confirm that all the other cottage people have left?"
The guard arched his hand and said, "High Priest, they have all left"
When the priest of the wilderness heard this, he asked, "Brother Lan, you must also know the question between me and Brother Cuifeng, why did the three of us contribute so much, and finally got such a little land, how can we explain it to the clansmen?"
Cuifeng priest also nodded and said, "Although my Cuifeng Village does not contribute as much as the two elder brothers, it must be more than one grade higher than the six of them, Brother Lan, please give us an answer."
Lan Li pointed to the map and said to them, "You take a serious look, the three passages into Miaojiang are all in our hands, we set up checkpoints to collect all kinds of taxes, and we have to pay money for buying and selling, we are actually sitting and waiting to collect money, although we have given up the land, but in fact, the three of us have our own losses, for a while, if we divide our efforts to defend these lands, not only will it cause the emptiness of the village, if the Lin family fights back, how can we resist?" Secondly, this time, we gave them land, their original strength was not much loss, and it had little impact in the hinterland, but this time, they separated their land, and they were bound to use all their strength to defend, and these positions just happened to block the possible offensive of the Lin family for us and turned it into our barrier. Moreover, with heavy profits, they will work harder, the three of us have already paid too much for this, I Lanli guarantees with character, this is the last time to cede profits to them"
The priest of the field and the priest of Cuifeng clapped their hands and said, "Okay, with Brother Lan, you say, I can do it" After pacifying the two allies, the next thing is to discuss some common things, and a young man behind the priest of the field walked out, "Uncle Lan, I heard that Ting'er has come back from outside, can the little nephew go to visit" This person is the young master of the field village, that is, Lan Ting once said, childhood sweetheart, and the person who has a marriage contract with her.
Lan Li laughed, "Go, go, persuade that girl"
The priest of the field also asked, "Brother Lan, now that the war has stopped for a while, is it better for us to give this wedding date by the way?"
Lan Li nodded, "This matter is easy, but since they are not here, I will also tell you the deep reason, it is said that the people of the imperial court have come, the little girl came back this time, and brought back a lot of important news, it is said that our plan has been known by the imperial court, so in a short period of time, we need to fight steadily, not in a hurry, and do not contact the people of the lonely city in any form, otherwise I am afraid that the imperial army will be found"
The other two priests were also puzzled by how they could resist the imperial army, so they nodded their heads. The three of them exchanged some ideas about their next plans and then dispersed.
And at this moment, in a house in Miao Village, several heralds come in and out, here is the reason why Bimu Village is strong, the Han people's contact system is used here, and the person in charge is Mr. Deng. And a herald hurriedly entered from the outside, "Mr. Deng, a convoy of about ten Han people has entered the village at the foot of the mountain and stayed!"
