Facing the envoys from Daming Mountain, Prime Minister Jiang was of course very patient.

However, he cannot explicitly form an alliance with Daming Mountain or Yangshan.

Not only can't we form an alliance, we also need to be "hostile" and put on a show.

It is entirely possible to stage a drama in which the brothers Ouyang Feng and Jiang Yaoshi are enemies of each other, and the audience will be other martial arts figures.

"Gu Ke can secretly form an alliance with Daming Mountain..." Jiang Yao informed the Daming Mountain envoy of his thoughts.

After the Daming Mountain envoy heard this, he felt that Jiang Cheng was really a young man and an old man.

"Prime Minister Jiang is really thoughtful and far-reaching, and I can never do it the same way," the envoy from Daming Mountain said.

Jiang Yao smiled and said: "Your military advisor Ouyang Feng is my senior brother. For the sake of your military advisor, and for the sake of being considered a comrade in Daming Mountain, the three counties of Mingdong will be controlled by your army."

Take over."

"Thank you, Prime Minister! I, Damingshan, will definitely work with the Prime Minister secretly, echoing each other from afar, to fight against the warlords together..."

Finally, the messenger left satisfied.

Two days later, the Qing Army and the Daming Mountain Xuanfeng Army faced off in Huaishan County, and a "big war" broke out.

Afterwards, Jiang Yao announced to the outside world that he had defeated the Ming Mountain bandit army and killed thousands of bandits. The remaining Xuanfeng army retreated to the three counties of Mingdong.

By mid-February, the Qing Army had captured seven of the eleven Jinlord counties!

Wherever Jiang Yao goes, the nobles of the Wu family are afraid of being unable to escape, but the majority of casual cultivators are really like the rain in the drought.

News of the real world spreads very fast. It has been almost a year since the Qing Clan's reform. As a neighbor, the Golden Clan's loose cultivators are of course known to everyone.

Even due to the influence of the Qingye Reform, there were tax protests and strikes not long ago.

At least in the eyes of the people, the seven counties in the south of the Jin Dynasty can already be included in the pocket.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yao issued an order to dispatch a group of Qing clan reform officials to enter the newly occupied seven counties to assist in the establishment of local county government offices.

At the same time, the city lord's mansion and the lord's mansion were abolished, and the resources monopolized by the martial nobles were recovered.

It was a vigorous and resolute move, and the reform policy was launched in full swing in the seven newly occupied counties.

Jiang Yao ordered that 70% of the large amount of resources seized be given to casual cultivators.

Jin Clan Wuxiu, who had long admired the benefits of the Qing Clan's reform, immediately burst into cheers.

Ginger medicine’s wish value has increased sharply again!

…

In the Black Dragon Palace of the Gold Lord of Blackwater City, Jiang Yao sat on the Lord's seat without any scruples, thinking silently.

Jiang Yao understood that he could only stop here.

Taking over the seven southern counties of the Golden Lord was already the limit of his expansion.

This time, after planning for so long and playing three trump cards in a row, there are only so many benefits that can be gained.

Because the strength of the Qing Army is really limited.

The new army is still training, and it is impossible to develop a qualified military field without a few years of hard work.

With the current reserve of troops and talents, he could only accept it as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a great victory, taking advantage of the momentum of the new martial sage Zhuang Xian, and taking advantage of the fear of the surrounding martial lords, he quickly destroyed the money and swallowed up the seven counties.

Don't be too greedy, otherwise a larger anti-Youth alliance will appear immediately.

Distant first-class powerful vassals, or even Jin clan, would quickly interfere.

He needs time!

As long as he gets through the dangerous period of ten or eight years, he will be able to completely regain his footing.

At the moment, it cannot expand any further.

Not only cannot it expand, but it must also try to repair relations with surrounding martial arts clans.

Let’s just say that this recklessness should be kept for the time being.

Because Lu valve and Le valve are bordered. Once Lu valve is eliminated, let alone the problem of indigestion, Qing valve will be bordered by Le valve.

That's dangerous!

Although the leader of the music clan has fallen, there are still two martial immortals and an army of 300,000.

Especially the 20,000 Wu Zun army in Yuebu Juncheng! It’s enough to suppress Zhuang Xian!

In other words, even if he has Zhuang Xian's help, if the Le Clan goes all out, he still has the ability to destroy the Qing Clan.

It's just that now that the leader of the Yue clan has fallen, they have too much time to take care of themselves, and they are worried about Zhuang Xian, so they don't dare to easily raise another army to defeat Qing.

Therefore, the Lu clan should be retained as a buffer zone between the Qing clan and the Le clan. Even if the Lu clan is there, even if the Le army wants to attack the Qing clan, it will not be that convenient.

Preserving Lu Vale also avoids irritating Lu Vale’s two neighbors: Chen Vale and Cai Vale.

Chen Clan and Cai Clan did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of Qing Clan this time because they were attacking each other.

This time the coalition forces were defeated and almost all the hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out. Zhuang Xian played a big role.

But Zhuang Xian could only help him for a while.

Besides, Zhuang Xian is only a level 1 Martial Saint. If a veteran Martial Saint comes, the Qing Clan's matter may be doomed.

For the time being, there will be no martial saints from the Central Region coming all the way to deal with a little guy like him.

Jin Clan, now there is only one martial saint left who has only a short time to take care of himself. He will not take care of the affairs of a small Qing Clan in the remote and remote Qiunan area for the time being.

Then, the Wu Sheng who is most likely to interfere with the Qing Clan's reform must come from the Zhao Clan, Wei Clan, and Yuan Clan!

There are nine A-class clans in the Western Region, three of which are first-class A clans with Martial Saints in charge. Three families are second-class A clans with two or three quasi-sages in charge, and three families are third-class A clans with one or two quasi-sages in charge.

Among them, the Le clan in Qiunan area is the weakest clan.

The three major vassal towns of Zhao, Wei, and Yuan all have a third-level Martial Saint in charge, dozens of counties, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, including tens of thousands of Martial Masters!

These three families are the main force to contain the Jin clan. Surrounded by them, the Jin clan can only maintain the status quo.

The three families of Zhao, Wei, and Yuan are seven to eight hundred thousand miles away from the Qing Clan and border the Demon Realm.

Jiang Yao analyzed that these three groups would not immediately interfere with the Qing Clan's reform.

First, the Qiunan area is originally a remote area in the Western Region, a remote area in the corner, and the big shots rarely pay attention to it. Secondly, the Qing Clan is only a B Clan, and no matter how hard it is, they will not take it seriously now.

For the sake of the Qing clan, Wu Sheng, a dignified clan leader, was dispatched to intervene, because the opponent took advantage of the loophole.

However, the fall of Letian Zuo will definitely arouse their great attention. The emergence of a new martial saint in the Qing clan will also arouse their great concern.

So next, the Qing clan issue will definitely come into their sight.

Interference is inevitable.

And it won't be long.

In as little as a few months, as long as a year or two, a martial saint will definitely come to these three families.

And what he lacks most now is time!

Jiang Yao thought hard for a long time, but couldn't find a way to deal with the interference of these three martial saints.

He can only release the remnant soul of the Biluo Demon King in the "Fire of the Covenant".

According to the remnant souls of him and Biluo Demon Lord, he will soon be sent back to the Demon Realm.

By the way, I also asked for clues from the "Magic Medicine Sutra".

"Lord Demon King...what should I do?"

Jiang Yao asked.

He couldn't ask Yu Kuan about this matter, because Yu Kuan wanted the Qing clan to be finished, so that he could go to the Yu clan to eat soft rice.

You can't ask your cheap uncle either. My uncle is also eager for the reform to be over.

Biluo Demon Lord is a demon, so he is more suitable.

Biluo Demon Lord looked at Jiang Yao with a sneer:

"Cunning human boy. Those three clans happen to be close to my Biluo tribe. Do you want our tribe to send troops and press the border with the army so that the three clans of Zhao, Wei and Yuan, Wu Sheng, dare not leave lightly and buy you time?"

Jiang Yao smiled and said: "You really can't hide your worries from Lord Demon Lord."

After saying that, a purple light flashed in his eyes.

Demon Lord Biluo thought for a while and said: "Jiang Yao, I sometimes wonder whether you are a human or whether you became a demon after using the magic beads."

"What you have done is not a good thing for our demon clan. Why should I help you?"

Jiang Yaodao: "Does the Demon Lord think that this is something I am willing to do?"

The remnant soul of Biluo Demon Lord is surrounded by evil energy: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yaodao: "I really can't say anything. Even if the adult has left the Demon Realm, I don't dare to say it. I can only say that everything I do is definitely not a bad thing for the demon clan, but it must be a bad thing for the martial arts clan."

Biluo Demon Lord said quietly: "Who is this?"
