Chapter 144: Winning, Maintaining, and Destroying '1/4'
Looks like one person.
Hundreds and thousands have not been seen.
The ghost king from all directions thought for a while, then laughed and said: "There are guests coming from far away. I should fulfill my friendship as a landlord and prepare a banquet, singing and dancing for the guests!"
Hey yo, hey yo...
A dozen zombies jumped over, in groups of two and two, carrying tables, chairs and food boxes.
Set up the tables and chairs and serve the dishes.
Soon, the zombies receded and were replaced by sixteen people wearing robes and veils, who looked like dancing girls.
Whoosh!
The eight people in front took off their veils and robes.
When you catch your eye, you see eight green-faced hags with fangs, posing and dancing.
Not to mention, he can dance well and twist his joints, which is full of joy.
But this face is a bit bad, at least Zhang Heng can't appreciate it, after all, he is not from the Yasha clan.
"You guys, take off your veils!"
The Ghost King from all directions said to the eight robed men behind him.
"Well, that's pretty much it."
Zhang Heng looked around and saw that the eight robed people behind him were all human girls between the ages of 14 and 16.
Wearing gauze clothes, let's say it's exposed. You can't see clearly. Let's say it's not exposed. It's looming, which makes people imagine.
"play music!"
The Ghost King from all directions shouted lowly.
A group of musicians came from outside.
Zhang Heng looked up.
There are mummies playing drums and harps, and zombies beating fou.
There is a one-eyed ghost playing the flute, and a big-headed ghost beating the gong.
There are thirty or fifty ghosts of different shapes, and the music is played by winds and drums. The style of the music is weird, but it is quite pleasant.
"Doctor Zhang."
"If you, Maoshan Tang, want to do business in our Sifang County, that won't be a problem."
"Later, I will ask someone to write a document to you. All towns in my Sifang County will be unimpeded. If necessary, my ghost soldiers stationed in each county will also provide you with convenience."
The Ghost King drank the wine and said casually.
When Zhang Heng heard this, his eyes brightened, and he nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Ghost King. Don't worry, our Maoshan Hall is not a place without friendship. We will remember whoever treats us well."
Hearing this, the Sifang Ghost King drank a full cup: "I have always believed that humans and ghosts can live in harmony. Your Maoshan Hall wants to do business in Sifang County and promote the development of people's livelihood in Sifang County. Naturally, I support it 100%.
"
"But in other places, I'm afraid I won't be able to help. Other people may not be so easy to talk to. For example, my old boss, the Tianxiang Ghost Emperor of Tianxiangzhou, is more old-fashioned and not as open-minded as me."
Zhang Heng frowned slightly: "Heavenly Prime Minister Ghost Emperor!"
After saying that, Zhang Heng raised his head again, raised his wine glass and said: "King of Ghosts, there are five counties in Tianxiang Prefecture, and Sifang County is just one of them. I think some of the other ghost kings should have a good relationship with you."
"this..."
The ghost kings from all directions were at a loss for words: "The ghost king Alona of Qingshui County has a pretty good relationship with me. I can help with her matchmaking."
"Others don't necessarily sell my face. After all, we ghost kings all come from the Red Nether Realm, but my Yaksha clan is not the only one in the Red Nether Realm. The competition among the major ethnic groups is quite fierce. There are some things that I don't want to say. I
If you open your mouth, you may do bad things with good intentions."
Zhang Heng nodded: "This is true. When a man is alive, no one has more than three or five close friends and six or seven powerful enemies."
"Ghost King, you have great power and are responsible for guarding one side. I hope that while you will have many friends, you will also have many enemies."
"But speaking of business, no matter how many difficulties there are, I, Maoshan Hall, will overcome them. Maoshan caravans are necessary and must bloom everywhere in the Huangtu world. This is not my intention alone."
The Ghost King from all directions was a little unable to hold it.
After thinking for a while, he added: "I do have some friends in other states and counties with whom I can talk, but..."
Zhang Heng responded: "Although we, Maoshan Tang, are just a start-up, we are confident that we will become bigger and stronger. We will never forget your help to us, Ghost King. Believe me, you will not lose this investment."
"Of course I believe you."
The ghost king of the four directions smiled forcefully: "My Yaksha clan is not a nameless person in the underworld. If we talk about this branch, we also have ancestors who are among the eight Dharma protectors in the Buddhist kingdom. We are fairly well-informed.
."
"But having said that, some people are used to being earth kings and do not understand the general trend of the world. They only want the wealth and glory of the moment. Those people cannot be won over with just a few words."
Zhang Heng didn't care: "Every era changes, there are always some martyrs. They either don't know the destiny, or they are reluctant to get the glory, but their existence is just a wave of the times after all, and they cannot change the final result.
."
All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
The small world of Chiyou is barren, while the Huangtu Realm is rich. Some ghost emperors and ghost kings are arrogant and prosperous in the Huangtu Realm and enjoy their glory, but they are definitely not willing to give up the fat in their mouths.
Not to mention that some people may not know what Maoshan is like, even if they know it, there are not a few people who have the courage to try it.
The reason lies in two words: profit.
Take the Sifang Ghost King as an example. He occupies the Sifang County, and the Yaksha ghosts under him are granted lordships and generals, and there are living people to enjoy every day.
All these are things they cannot get in the small world of Chiyou. Now that the good times have just begun, will they be willing to give up?
Huangtujie can be compared to the New World discovered by Columbus.
The ghost emperors and ghost kings in Chiyou's small world are Spanish nobles with an invincible fleet.
Zhang Heng and others can be regarded as the empire that dominates Europe, has a longer history, and is currently rising, preparing to take over the New World.
Everyone wants to colonize the new continent of Huangtu Realm and develop their own interests.
But the Huangtu Realm cannot tolerate two overlords, so negotiation and war will be necessary.
The ghost kings from all directions are equivalent to some nobles who have clearly seen the general trend and know that Spain will be defeated.
Therefore, he dealt with Zhang Heng, who was born in Maoshan and was equivalent to the crown prince on which the sun never sets, in advance, hoping that he would not be wiped out when the Armada was defeated in the future.
This is the choice of the Ghost King from all directions.
But what can be expected is that there must be ghost emperors and ghost kings who have other ideas.
They may think that they can rely on their strength to defend the territory under Huang Tujie and defeat the outsiders like Maoshan.
Or maybe they are lucky enough to think that the Huang Tu world is very big and they can take it one step at a time. As long as they don't help each other, there will be nothing left in the end. So they pretend to be confused and don't want to give up everything in front of them.
All kinds of things.
What Zhang Heng needs to do is win over the ghost kings from all directions and other people he can win over.
Maintain those who are wishful thinking, do not help each other, and are ready to eat leftovers.
Finally, eliminate those who do not understand current affairs and think that they are powerful and can share the world with Maoshan, thereby taking control of the Huangtu Realm into their hands.
One cup after another, one day I have wine and the next I am drunk.
Two hours later.
After having enough wine and food, Zhang Heng got up and left after all that needed to be said.
After he left, the singers and musicians also left one after another, and the underground palace became deserted.
The Ghost King from all directions sat on the throne, his five eyes moving around, muttering to himself: "Am I a traitor to the Red Nether Realm?"
After saying that, he sighed: "I don't want to, but what can I do? I really can't think of how to break this situation after rejecting it. In this case, why should I let my ghosts give up for some unrealized fantasies?"
life?"
Speaking of ambition, Ghost King Sifang is also a person with great ambitions.
If Zhang Heng and others do not show up, he plans to set up 480 evil ghost statues for the residents of Sifang County to support, thereby suppressing the ghost controller alliance while extending his rule to the villages and towns.
The appearance of Mao Shan disrupted all his plans.
He was unwilling to do so, but at the same time he clearly realized that these things were not something he could control, and even the Heavenly Prime Minister and the Ghost Emperor were probably indecisive.
After all, these people in Maoshan Hall are extraordinary. They are not comparable to those little Taoist priests in the local Taoist sects of Huangtu Realm, and the Ghost Controller Alliance, which seems to be powerful at the moment, but is actually just like a joke.
These ghost emperors and ghost kings are majestic in the eyes of ordinary people.
In fact, they are already abandoned and abandoned.
the other side.
Zhang Heng came out of the city lord's palace with a rare smile on his face, and thought to himself: "The Ghost King from all directions really understands the current affairs. When the world is unified and my Maoshan Dingding Mountains and Rivers are established, I can call him the Maoshan Dharma Protector Ghost King."
, reward the Sifang County City God with the post of City God, and give it a formal establishment."
The Sifang Ghost King is the first ghost king in Huangtu Realm to show his willingness to surrender.
Due to emotions and reasons, even if you are showing it to others, you cannot neglect this hero.
As for the theory of rewards.
He had the intention to compile a catalog of ghosts and gods of mountains and rivers after he had determined the mountains and rivers.
Taoist temples and Chenghuang temples should be built in every prefecture, county, and township.
Then Maoshan presided over the awarding ceremony, and used some loyal people, meritorious ministers, and surrendered ghost kings and generals to fill the position of the city god in various states, counties and villages.
Of course, this is what I think, but how to implement it will depend on the situation.
