How does Zhuge Bing feel now? It's probably like the feeling of being cheated when buying a house:
You have lived there for several years, but you were suddenly notified by the court that this house is not yours and you have to move out; the real estate agent had sold the house to someone else before. Your contract was forged at a later stage and the court did not recognize it.
Of course things are different, but the mood is probably the same. And the actual situation is even worse.
If the real estate is sold illegally, the court can still pursue responsibility and compensation; but right now, there is no place to complain; we can only wait for the fleets of Dayang Group and Tianyuan Star Civilization to come over!
In this negotiation, whether it is Dayang Group, Tianyuan Star Civilization or the Royal Family of the Red River Empire, the speed of the negotiations between the two parties is beyond imagination. Or to be more precise, this negotiation is to be carried out at lightning speed.
Before Fang reacts, let’s cook the rice before it’s raw!
Zhuge Binghe is indeed connected with the Tianji Empire, but only Zhuge Binghe knows best. The distance between the two parties is too far, and the support they can provide is limited.
In fact, originally, Zhuge Binghe contacted the Tianji Empire because he wanted the Yujing Empire to have some scruples so that he could dominate one side.
But the actual situation is: the situation has developed and changed so fast over the years that Zhuge Binghe is a little overwhelmed.
In an inconspicuous corner, a golden phoenix suddenly flew out, and the Tianyuan Star Civilization and Dayang Group made a strong appearance; then the Blue Star Group appeared, and the Yujing Empire joined the Blue Star Group inexplicably and started a high-speed development mode.
In the beginning, the Blue Star Group was just a small business alliance; due to the emergence of World Gate and the planning of the Ocean Group, the Blue Star Group developed into a company that included seven empires in just a dozen years.
, three major sects, small and medium-sized empires, and thousands of other super alliances, covering a territory of more than 30,000 light years.
In terms of volume, the "territorial volume" of the Blue Star Collection is even three times that of the Sanyuan Star District, whose core diameter is only 20,000 light-years.
The current development potential of Blue Star Group is extraordinary. Therefore, the Tianji Empire is also a little hesitant about whether it really wants to interfere in the "internal affairs" of the Yujing Empire.
But at this time, due to the confrontation between the Tianshui Empire and the Minghui Empire, a star-level war broke out, and the war situation could break out at any time and even get out of control.
It's just that this matter is developing a bit fast, and the Tianji Empire has not responded yet. Moreover, even if there is a response now, it is too late.
However, after thinking about it, Zhuge Binghe still called an intelligence officer from the Tianji Empire here. This person's name is 'An Dingxuan', he is not an important person, and his cultivation level is only at the second level of virtual reality. But this is the case
His cultivation level is already considered an absolute master within the territory of the Red River Civilization.
It is said that the people with the highest cultivation level within the current Red River Civilization are only at the third level of returning to the void. However, it is also said that among the ancestors of the royal family of the Red River Empire who retreated, there are masters at the golden immortal level, but only when the royal family is in crisis due to external invasion.
Will take action.
Of course, some people say that the ancestor was not in seclusion, but went out to travel, entered the scope of Sanyuan, and had some relationship with the quasi-sage, so the Yujing Empire only dared to take action secretly, but did not dare to take action directly.
In short, there are many legends, but life must go on, so the split must still be split. It is precisely for this reason that Zhuge Binghe contacted the Tianji Empire.
But Zhuge Binghe never expected that changes would come from that inconspicuous corner before. The Canopus constellation that no one had even looked at in the past.
As a result, this so-called Canopus star was too cruel, and suddenly an Ocean Group appeared. Now it directly threatens Zhuge Binghe's dictatorship.
Time was urgent and changes were sudden. The only people Zhuge Binghe could find at the moment were his military advisor Sima Wenchang and his first general Shangguan Hai.
Zhuge Binghe has six generals under him, who are in charge of the six main star clusters in the Tianshe constellation. Among them, Zhuge Bing is in charge of the largest star cluster in the Tianshe constellation, which is called 'Tianshe'. The remaining five star clusters are numbered from east to west.
1,2,3,4,Tianshe,5.
The No. 5 star cluster is the closest to Tianyuan Star, about 700 light years away; the 'Tianshe Star Cluster' is more than 80 light years away. However, based on the current technical situation of both parties, this 80 light years more and 80 less light years does not seem to be much.
difference.
Especially now that the masters in Tianshe Constellation are seriously lacking in strength.
Currently, the number one expert in the Tianshe constellation is Zhuge Binghe himself, who is at the second level of returning to the void. In addition, there is another ‘consecration’: Yumen Feihe. This guy’s cultivation has reached the first level of returning to the void, and he is still in retreat at this time.
In addition, there is no one who has returned to the virtual realm, and the six generals are only in the pure yang realm.
Think about Dayang Group and Tianyuanxing Civilization. Now that their Huanxu Realm has exceeded 10,000, there is no way to fight this war!
Even military advisor Sima Wenchang couldn't give him any good advice.
And Shangguan Hai, who was summoned by Zhuge Binghe, sat aside and said nothing. There was a huge difference in strength. Whatever he said was like farting~
Zhuge Binghe kept running in circles. While he was anxious, An Dingxuan, an intelligence officer from the Tianji Empire, arrived.
Zhuge Binghe received the other party enthusiastically and with endless hope, and Andingxuan indeed brought good news: "Don't be surprised, General Zhuge. In fact, I have been wanting to discuss with the general in the past few days whether he is willing to become the leader of the Tianji Empire...
…Hmm…where are the nobles?”
In fact, An Dingxuan's decision an hour ago was to give Zhuge Binghe the title of 'Earl', in order to bribe Zhuge Binghe and capture the entire Tianshe constellation in his hands.
But now, haha, don’t even think about it, Count. Viscount, Baron, choose one!
What about Zhuge Binghe? As a hero who dares to separate one side and firmly controls the Tianshe constellation, why can't Zhuge Binghe hear the change in Andingxuan's words? But what can he say now?
I can only pretend to be calm and say: "Of course I yearn for the Tianji Empire. But even if I become a member of the Tianji Empire, what's the use? This place is too far away from the Tianji Empire!"
An Dingxuan showed a mysterious smile, but there was some danger in the smile, "General, we have been communicating for a long time. Do you think I am the kind of person who talks nonsense?"
Zhuge Binghe's eyes instantly narrowed, and his pretense of calmness collapsed: "Your army has arrived nearby?!"
"The general is really smart. I am not in a position to reveal the specifics, but I believe that the general can guess some things with his intelligence.
Now, as long as the general nods, he can become a noble of the Tianji Empire. This is an opportunity that many practitioners cannot ask for. A noble of a top empire is more majestic than an emperor of a small country!"
Zhuge Binghe gradually calmed down. He sat down slowly and spoke slowly: "Nobles, what level are they? At present, the general level of nobility in the world of Zhoutian is Gonghou Bozinan. If I bring the entire Tianshe constellation to join me, your noble rank will be
What price does TNB offer?”
"This... the Tianji Empire judges status based on military merit. Although the general's contribution to the sacrifice of soil is great, he has no military merit. Therefore, we are going to give the general the status of a baron. But we will give the general the treatment of a count.
Generals can have titles. The title of earl in the Tianji Empire can be the name of a star cluster, not the name of a constellation or star official. Therefore, the title of a general can be chosen from the following star cluster names: Hongyun, Qingmang, Linshi, Mang
Sichuan.
The general can choose one of them."
"Baron? A titled baron?" There seemed to be some emotion brewing in Zhuge Binghe's eyes, "This general has heard of so-and-so Duke, so-and-so Marquis, and so-and-so uncle; but I have never heard of so-and-so son, so-and-so son.
Man, is this a different kind of insult?"
An Dingxuan looked serious, "General, you don't understand the situation of the Tianji Empire or even large empires. In large empires, there is such a class called 'Tiled Nobles'.
In the aristocratic system of a large empire, a complete nobility must have four parts: fiefdom, title, title or title, and title. But in fact, due to various practical reasons, many nobles can only have some of them.
Three kinds, two kinds.
It is generally believed that the first is the fief, the second is the title, the third is the title, and the fourth is the title. As for the fief, rookie nobles do not need to consider it, the title is what everyone competes for. And the title of earl is a kind of recognition, as long as the general's military merits are improved.
, the identity of the earl will be a matter of course.
In ten years at most, the general will become a real earl noble with a fiefdom, a title, a title, and a title! This is my promise, and it is also the promise of the Tianji Empire. It is limited to various practical issues, so please forgive me, general."
"Oh...what about the fief?"
"The four names I just asked the general to choose are the four fiefdoms."
Sima Wenchang, the military advisor next to him, chuckled (sneered), "I have two questions.
How big are your so-called star clusters? Especially these four star clusters. How many stars, how many living planets are there, and what are the resources? Where in the empire is it located? Is there any commercial potential?
How many direct troops can our general retain? What positions will they have? What are their salaries? What are their training resources? How are they compensated by land donations?"
Are these two questions? An Dingxuan wanted to roll his eyes. But he also understood that these questions were indeed crucial. But... he couldn't speak. In fact, the Tianji Empire only promised Zhuge Binghe a title and a
A fiefdom that was so barren that it couldn't be barren. And then... there was no more.
Of course, there are still positions, etc., but they are all ‘virtual positions’ that cannot be put on the stage.
To put it bluntly, everyone does not trust the leader of such a separatist regime and is very cautious. After joining the Tianji Empire, Zhuge Binghe's safety does not need to be considered. The Tianji Empire will still pay attention to this; but in the future life, probably
It's like being under house arrest. You can't even think about military achievements or anything like that. You can't even go to the battlefield.
"Why, you can't answer?" Sima Wenchang was a military advisor and was more perceptive. Sima Wenchang caught Andingxuan's pause in thinking for a moment.
However, since Andingxuan can take charge of one side, he still has the ability. After pondering for a while, he has already thought of an explanation. "Sima Military Advisor, we are practitioners, and this is also the world of practice. Think about it, if the general just came to a big empire,
If you are still a stranger, you will receive many rewards that are not available to the immortal masters. Is that really good for the general?
On the contrary, we will provide the general with a lot of training resources. As long as the general's cultivation level is improved, and he has military exploits, and when he becomes an earl, the general will have a smooth career in the empire.
General, I am not one to make random promises and conditions, only to be unable to fulfill any of them in the end. I have one thing to say and two things to say.
And by becoming a noble of the Tianji Empire, at least one thing can be guaranteed, even the Yujing Empire will no longer cause trouble for the general."
In fact, the reason why there is one saying one and two saying two is because... there are so many! There really is no more, and there will be no future!
Sima Wenchang glared at Andingxuan: Damn it, pull it some more.
After hearing what Andingxuan said, both Sima Wenchang and Zhuge Binghe understood in their hearts that the rewards given by the Tianji Empire would be very few.
So, is it still necessary to take refuge in such a situation? Would it be better to take refuge in Dayang Group under the current situation?
At this moment, Zhuge Binghe actually had such an idea in his mind!
On the surface, Zhuge Binghe's face flashed with excitement for a moment, and then he told An Dingxuan that he wanted to think about it, expressed his gratitude, and personally sent An Dingxuan to the door.
But when Andingxuan just stepped out of the gate and was about to leave, Zhuge Binghe suddenly said: "I wonder what the imperial army needs? I'll prepare it here.
As the saying goes, go ahead before the soldiers and horses use food and grass. Facing the Tianyuan Star civilization, especially the Dayang Group, we cannot take it lightly. Not to mention that there is interference from the Red River Empire and others behind the scenes."
Andingxuan pondered for a moment and said: "This is a military secret, so it is not convenient for me to ask. Let's do this. I will report it to the commander. I will tell you how to do it in detail at that time."
"That's fine."
After sending An Dingxuan away, Zhuge Binghe's expression immediately changed. He said to Military Sima Wenchang: "The person coming from the other side is a commander. A commander from a big empire, his cultivation level is probably at the Golden Immortal realm! The one who comes here is not good.
.However, judging from Andingxuan’s tone, I’m afraid it won’t be there in a short time, but it won’t be too long.
Immediately send people to inspect and test the northeastern starry sky.
Also, didn’t we find an intelligence point of Dayang Group internally? Let’s get in touch and ask about Dayang Group’s conditions!”
Military Sima Wenchang had no doubts and set off immediately.
In fact, Zhuge Binghe was a tycoon after all, and An Dingxuan was still inferior as an intelligence officer. An Dingxuan would never have thought that his self-righteous words revealed too much information.
We can't say that Andingxuan is not good at business, we can only say that Zhuge Binghe is cunning and cunning. His previous performance was perfect. His entanglements, dissatisfaction, expectations, excitement, etc. were all shown, and he even personally delivered Andingxuan to the door.
Not wanting to step out of the gate of Andingxuan, he relaxed and let down his guard for a moment, Zhuge Binghe suddenly asked a question; but this question was not considered for himself, but for the Tianji Empire. It can be said that it directly hit the loopholes in Andingxuan's thinking.
.
Under such circumstances, although Andingxuan was smart, he still revealed some information in an instant.
And Zhuge Binghe deduced more useful information through these little traces. Zhuge Binghe had read many works and books of Dayang Group, and he remembered one thing deeply: 90% of the information is actually hidden in daily life!
