"What is the general situation in this Daqi Realm?" Lei Yuan asked.

"The Daqi realm is also after Luoyue. Its tribe is mainly distributed in the southern part of Yulin County, adjacent to Hepu, and has increased food between the two counties. There are sixteen dangerous places around the territory, and nine clear springs gather in the central area of ​​the territory to form Lingshui Lake. There are more than 500 acres of cultivated land by the lake, and wood is set up as a hamlet. They call themselves kings in the tribe, with more than a thousand soldiers and war elephants at both ends."

After a pause, Wang Dong pointed at a drunken man: "The customs of the Daqi world, all the chief's confidants and tribesmen all use colorful silk to make their slanted shirts. Please see, this is the person."

"It seems that this Daqi world has sent important people here, which is considered to be grand." Lei Yuan nodded and asked again: "Does the other families have messengers here? What's the situation with those families?"

"The two families in the Daqi realm and Xiaoqi realm have specially sent envoys, but the other four have not."

Wang Dong instructed Lei Yuan: "The messengers of Xiaoqi Realm are at that location. They are originally one of the Daqi Realm, and their appearance is similar. These families all occupy dangerous places, rely on each other in geographical location, communicate with each other's voice, and their strength is similar to that of the Daqi Realm. The northernmost part of their territory is Tanzhong County in Yulin County, and the east can reach Alin County."

Lei Yuan immediately said: "Alin County? Is it the place across the river from the capital of Yulin County? It is not far from Mengling... It was said before that the county magistrate and county officials of Alin County have all fled. It turned out that they were forced by the Nanyi?"

During this period, Lei Yuan had already read the Jiaozhou map over and over again, knowing that Alin County in Yulin County guarded the Yushui and the intersection of Tanshui. Because the Yushui crossed Jiaozhou from west to east, Alin became a key pass connecting Yulin County to east and Cangwu, and it can also be said to be the connection point between the east and west parts of the entire Jiaozhou.

This is an important town in Yulin County and even the entire Jiaozhou.

Originally, he always thought that this place was under the control of which of Jing, Yiliao or Qian Bo, the three of Yulin County District. Is it actually the Linyi District family indirectly remotely controlled?

"When the prefect Wu was in Cangwu, he had fought with the barbarians many times in Alin, so the place was abandoned. However, the Qu family tried to re-control the Alin County for several months and sent people to build several villages in the north of the county." Wang Dong replied.

Lei Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, then shook his head: "There is a pond in the north and Alin in the east, which seems to be putting Qu Jing, Yi Liao, Qian Bo and others in control."

"The support of the Nanyi tribe is inevitable in the past two years. In the past two years, these three people have been supported by Lin Yi, and on the other hand, they have often been ordered to be recruited by Lin Yi and go to the south to fight."

"More south?"

"General, Emperor Wu, opened the border and expanded the land. During the Yuanding period, the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan were established. In fact, Jiuzhen and Rinan only occupied a line on the edge of the coast. Xianglin County of Rinan County is now the capital of Linyi. To the west and south of Linyi, there are countless large and small countries such as Zhenla, Funan, Poli, Dukun, and Biandou. The area stretches for thousands of miles, and the water and soil are completely different from the Central Plains. There are tens of millions of people, most of which are Kunlun."

Lei Yuan heard his subtext and said with great interest: "You mean that the power of the imperial court is generally limited by Linyi Kingdom. No matter how far it is, it will be beyond reach. Is that?"

"Yes." Wang Dong paused and said: "By the same reason, if countries outside the region can interfere in Jiaozhou affairs, Linyi is the limit. The southern Zhenla, Funan and other countries are united, and they compete for each other's strengths, but they actually ignore Jiaozhou. Therefore, if they suppress the six families including the Daqi Realm, it is equivalent to suppressing Linyi and Jiaozhou will be stable."

Lei Yuan nodded slightly.

When Lei Yuan and Wang Dong mentioned the three of them, Li Jing, Yi Liao and Qian Bo, the three of them were also watching Lei Yuan walking outside in the hall.

Qu Jing held a seat alone, poured and drank by himself, occasionally raising his eyes, and looked cold and stern.

And Yi Liao and Qian Bo got together at some point.

"Daqi Realm, have people from Xiaoqi Realm always followed Lin Yi? Why are they here? Are they itchy to see the benefits of Zhengshi and plan to submit to the court?" Qian Bo said with a wry smile.

Yi Liao replied: "They have such a deep relationship with Lin Yi, how could they join the Han family? They just come and wait and see for their masters. What's more, the places in the Daqi realm and the Xiaoqi realm are full of mountains and forests, and there is no output. If the Han family's caravan is willing to go, it would be a good thing for them."

"What about us?" Qian Bo asked.

"What do you think?" Yi Liao asked back.

Among the three people who have been entrenched in Yulin County for a long time, Yi Liao and Qian Bo have always been friendly. Both of them are from Jingzhou. They first came to Jiaozhou with Zhangjin in Nanyang. Later, Zhangjin was attacked by Qu Jing and died. The two led their remnants to retreat to the Gaoliang area of ​​Hepu County.

A few years later, because Shi Xie's power extended from Jiaozhi to Hepu and the South China Sea formed an encirclement of Cangwu, Cangwu prefect Wu Ju personally mediated and moved the two from Gaoliang to Yulin County, and together with Qu Jing, the mortal enemy who killed the old master, became Wu Ju's flank cover.

In fact, the two of them only obtained financial and material support from Wu Ju. They never supported Wu Ju or Shi Xie in the past. They both divided the lands of Yu Lin and became local emperors comfortably.

In fact, they were not even willing to interact with the Qu family of Linyi. However, the Qu family had its own hidden power in Jiaozhou. As the general of the Central Army, the local snake of Yulin County was the branch of the Qu family in the northern part of Jiaozhou. Due to helplessness, they could only cooperate with the Qu family, at least not to break up.

Since the left general Lei Yuan entered Jiaozhou, Yi Liao and Qian Bo were forced to face the situation, and on the other hand, they hoped to have new strength to fight against the Linyi Qu clan, so they gradually showed their kindness to Lei Yuan. But Lei Yuan and they themselves knew that it was okay to ask them to guard their hometown, accept the gifts given by the court, and raise the banner of the court. But they wanted them to truly serve the court and obey the court's dispatch...

Qian Bo said firmly: "Then you have to offer enough price, not a single slight less! At least, it must be five times more than Zhengshi got!"

“…three times more than that, this cannot be forced.”

"Okay, haha, triple is OK!"

After laughing twice, the two of them suddenly noticed the gloomy Qu Jing at the top and immediately stopped.

Lei Yuan had already returned while talking. He smiled and raised his glass to Yi Liao and Qian Bo, then stood in front of the hall, clapped his hands, and signaled that everyone was a little quiet.

The great chief of the Zheng family, Jiang Li's father-in-law Zheng Qiao, was a little drunk.

Recently, he has been a little confused. He feels that since he contacted Jiang Li's caravan, everything has become too fast, and all the changes have been too good, which is beyond his own expectations.

At today's wedding, he drank a few more drinks. At this time, the chief sitting next to Lei Yuan looked around the guests, very happy.

He thought: "In recent decades, the Luoyue remnants in Jiaozhou have gradually stopped taking the Zheng family seriously. The Linyi District clan is strong and attacking and robbing everywhere, which makes people fear them and have to obey them. So much so that I, a descendant of the Zheng family, can only think about relying on the Han people for a breath of breath in order to survive the clan. Who would have thought that my son-in-law is so powerful, it turns out that the Han people value my Zheng family's reputation so much? They actually gave such generous conditions! Hehe, at today's wedding, I remember everyone's expressions! They are jealous and envious! I will give me another three or five years, and I will make them completely convinced!"

Although he was the chief of the tribe, the tribe had long been weakened. No one of the rich barbarians took him seriously on weekdays. Sometimes he was suppressed and often felt worried about being in danger. But at this moment, he was really moved by Lei Yuan's favor, and he was drunk, so he was so full of ecstasy.

When I was feeling comfortable, I heard Lei Yuan calling his name.

Zhengqiao quickly responded and stood up. Because he was too damn good at his movements, he brought down the table table in front of him, and spilled the wine pot and cups all over the floor, which also made the brocade robe dirty.

This move immediately made someone in Tangxia laugh.

Lei Yuan held his arm without any mind and continued to say loudly to everyone: "I just said that I had previously been awarded the title of the Captain of the Conquering the Overseas Chinese and Guiyi, and was designated as the Yuzheng clan in the western part of Mengling County. But I have thought about it, this is not enough!"

Many people were instantly alarmed.

This is not enough? What does it mean? Is General Lei going to give more? This...isn't this a thousand gold coins bought horse bones, and he was about to go to ten thousand gold coins! The Zheng family has a name, how good is he? He is so lucky!

Even Ma Zhong was shocked, and stood up with the desk a few times, and looked at Lei Yuan for inquiries.

Lei Yuan waved his hand slightly to him, then raised his voice and said loudly: "Everyone, you heard it right, and you were not wrong! Is that place big in the western part of Mengling? It's big enough, but no matter how big it is, it's only half a county! The Zheng family's chief is my father-in-law and the example of the barbarians who are loyal to the court. Half of the county is not enough!"

With a "bang", Lei Yuan patted Zheng Qiao's shoulder heavily: "I decided to give you a county! A whole county! Alin County! Alin County, I will give you all!"

Those who can attend the banquet in the hall are important representatives of the Han and Man tribes in Jiaozhou. Among them are vulgar and unwritten, there are also many smart people who understand the situation in Jiaozhou. Now when they heard Lei Yuan want to hand over Alin to Zheng, these smart people gasped together, as if the wind suddenly blew in the hall.
