Chapter 1023 Mountain and River Formation (Part 1)
An icy coldness appeared in Murong Huaide's eyes.
The temperature in the surrounding space dropped instantly.
This Pingtian Army envoy is a top-ranking figure who has already reached the fifth level at a young age. In the eyes of many people, he represents the future of the Pingtian Army and is the heavy bet placed on Zhang Anliang by the Murong family.
Since joining the Pingtian Army, Murong Huaide received personal instruction from Zhang Anliang and developed a high level of respect for this great leader, so naturally he could not tolerate slander from outsiders.
The most important thing is that Murong Huaide didn't really take Wang Chen and Princess Qingyun seriously.
Even though the battle at Hanhaiguan has already spread throughout the world!
However, just when the Murong family member tried to show his power, a more powerful force suddenly enveloped him, making him feel as if he was falling into an abyss.
The qi and blood were frozen and the strength solidified, and he actually lost control of himself.
Intense fear suddenly surged into Murong Huaide's heart, causing all the color on his face to drain out.
Only then did Murong Huaide realize that he had made a big mistake.
He tried his best to lower his head.
Intuition told the Pingtian military envoy that if he continued to be unruly, he would definitely be in bad luck.
Even if you don't die, you will still suffer an unbearable loss!
As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes. Even if he felt humiliated, Murong Huaide still chose to bow his head.
And just when Murong Huaide admitted defeat, the pressure exerted on him suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Murong Huaide breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and immediately his face turned red.
Wang Chen said calmly: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Murong Huaide couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to make any more mistakes: "Your Highness the Princess, Master Taifu..."
As the envoy of the Pingtian Army, he represents the intention of the Holy Heavenly King Zhang Anliang, which is to form an alliance between the Pingtian Army and the Xinhan Navy to jointly fight against Emperor Yuan Jing and the princes.
After winning the great power of the world, they will divide their respective territories.
In addition, if the Xinhan Navy intends to attack Dayan in the future, the Pingtian Army is willing to send troops to help!
It should be said that the Pingtian Army's alliance is quite sincere. In addition to signing an offensive and defensive alliance, they are also willing to trade with each other and use the grain, silk, salt and other materials produced under the Pingtian Army in exchange for horses from Xihai County.
and ores from Hanhai County.
"The alliance is exempt."
After Wang Chen heard this, he said without hesitation: "It's okay not to invade each other, and there's no problem in mutual trade."
Ally with the rebel party?
I really think he is a fool!
If Princess Qingyun reaches an alliance with Zhang Anliang, she will immediately become a thorn in Emperor Yuan Jing's side.
The primary target of crusade!
You must know that Jichuan County, which borders Xihai County, is loyal to Emperor Yuan Jing, and the border between the two counties is undefeated. The latter's army can march straight in, or send small teams to frequently harass.
This will inevitably bring great obstacles and troubles to Wang Chen's plan.
Furthermore, rebelling against the party is unpopular in many places, and what Princess Qingyun wants to represent is Daliang orthodoxy!
Wang Chen's decisive answer made Murong Huaide a little disappointed, and he couldn't help but look at Princess Qingyun.
I hope the latter will have different ideas.
That would be great.
As a result, Princess Qingyun looked at her nose and heart, and adopted an attitude of staying out of the matter, which made Murong Huaide even more disappointed.
He had no choice but to continue negotiating with Wang Chen, who had a tough attitude.
After all, it is much better to reach an agreement on mutual non-aggression and mutual trade than to return without success.
After some negotiations, the two parties reached a relevant oral agreement.
Murong Huaide wanted to establish and exchange documents between each other and establish the agreement in writing, but Wang Chen refused.
There was nothing he could do.
However, the other party came all the way to Xihai County and presented Zhang Anliang's generous gift to Princess Qingyun, so Wang Chen gave the envoy 500 war horses in return.
The war horses produced in the Xihai Grassland are considered strategic materials and are strictly prohibited from trading under normal circumstances.
However, Wang Chen extorted 30,000 good horses from Dayan, and together with those from Xihai County, the number far exceeded the current needs of the Xinhan Navy, so it would be good to exchange them for food, silk and other supplies.
After all, the price of food is also rising.
After sending the envoy away, Wang Chen said to Princess Qingyun: "The Pingtian Army should be preparing to attack Huaishan County."
At present, the Pingtian Army occupies three counties in the south, and Huaishan County is just across from Xihai County. The other party suddenly sent a delegation to visit in an attempt to reach an alliance. Its intention is very clear.
It is worth mentioning that Jingnan County, where Wang Chen was originally from, is one of the three counties controlled by the Pingtian Army!
Princess Qingyun asked: "Master, is it a good thing or a bad thing for us that they captured Huaishan County?"
This royal girl is studying hard to become an excellent ruler, and she never hesitates to ask for advice from Wang Chen.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a puppet controlled by Wang Chen, a banner of self-reliance.
But Princess Qingyun herself knew very well that Wang Chen really wanted her to become the first empress of Daliang!
Wang Chen once told Princess Qingyun that once she ascends to the throne of God, he will hide behind the scenes and never show up again, leaving the task of sweeping the entire world to her to complete.
Princess Qingyun's trust in Wang Chen is also indestructible!
"There's good and there's bad."
Wang Chen thought for a while and said: "Let them stay for a few years for the time being. As long as they don't mess with us, just pretend they don't exist."
If the Pingtian Army captures Huaishan County and obtains a large number of war horses and ores from Hanhai County in the West Sea, its ambitions and power will inevitably expand greatly.
As the saying goes, don't let others snore and sleep next to the bed. It is normal for them to target Xihai County.
But as long as the Pingtian Army abides by the agreement, Wang Chen will make no move.
But if the Pingtian Army targets Xihai County, then Wang Chen will naturally give them a taste of gunpowder and projectiles!
Princess Qingyun nodded.
She stared at Wang Chen, with admiration and reverence that could not be hidden deep in her eyes.
In the following months, the total number of northern refugees migrating to Xihai County has exceeded one million.
Due to the powerful response measures taken by the Xinhan Navy and the purchase of a large amount of food supplies through mutual trade between the Fuqing Chamber of Commerce and the Pingtian Army, the impact of these refugees was absorbed.
After nearly four months of construction and a huge investment of manpower and material resources, the construction of seventy-two mountain and river pillars was completed in Hanhai County.
In addition, Wang Chen also mobilized a large number of migrant workers to build a large palace on the outskirts of Hanhai County.
And during this time, he kept running around, carving magic circle runes on all the mountain and river pillars.
At this point, the mountains and rivers array has been completed and is just waiting to be used to worship the heaven!
