Chapter six hundred and ninth ceding land and summing up
Everyone in Linhai Prefecture left with King Linhai. In order to avoid embarrassment, the Sixth Prince also got up and left.
There are still three people from the Zhao family, Shi Zhizhong and Wu Mingjue left in the meeting hall.
Zhao Lingxiao ordered: "Heyang County Duke, tell Shi Zhenbang and ask him to talk to Wang Daoyuan again.
As long as the Wang family brings order to things, I will entrust the entire Qingli County to the Wang family, and Jinyan City can also be retained.
Wang Daoyuan himself was granted the title of King of Qingli County, just like the King of Linhai, hereditary and irreplaceable.
Marquis of Linchuan, go back to Lvliuzhou and bring over half of the men we trained.
Remember, take it away from the edge of the Tianzhan Mountain Range to avoid any unpleasantness with the Wang family."
The two of them saluted and said, "I obey your order."
Wang Daoyuan was in the underground cave of Yuquan Peak, studying his little magical powers.
Once you have mastered the escape technique, it will be difficult to make further progress without some practice.
If you want to improve your skills, the best way is to study the combination of minor magical powers and other methods.
Three days later, news came from Uncle Twelve.
When the monks of the Demon Slaying Department were hunting monsters, they discovered that there were more than twenty third-level flying warships on the Green Liuzhou side, flying towards Wanchuanfang City.
However, Feizhou did not enter Yannan County, but went south along the edge of Tianzhan Mountain Range.
Wang Daoyuan didn't find it strange. There was news from Zhou Luan before that the Zhao family had changed the emperor.
When the Ninth Prince ascends the throne, he naturally has to bring some of his subordinates with him.
Since they didn't enter the Wang family's territory, Wang Daoyuan naturally didn't care about it.
Soon, news came from Xiaofang City in Jingtieshan that Shi Zhenbang asked to see him.
Wang Daoyuan didn't plan to hide anymore. At this time, it was no longer necessary.
Directly ask Shi Zhenbang to come to Yuquan Peak, and welcome him personally outside Yuquan Peak just like he did when he received Gu Wangzong.
Shi Zhenbang followed Wang Daoyuan into the auditorium. After taking his seat, he went straight to the point: "Envoy, now that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has been enthroned, he is willing to make you the Prince of Qingli County.
His status is the same as that of King Linhai, and he is hereditary.
The entire Qingli County, plus Jinyan City, is your fiefdom.
I wonder when His Majesty, the Prince, will be able to raise his troops and join with Your Majesty to exterminate the three rebel sects?"
Wang Daoyuan replied: "I have something to say beforehand. If His Highness the Ninth Prince is in charge and the Zhao family is about the same strength as the three sects, I will naturally help the Zhao family.
If the difference in strength is too big, I can only keep the family.
The monks left behind by the three sects are not weak now. Even if the Zhao family takes action now, they will not be able to completely defeat the three major sects.
There are still fifteen golden elixir monks left in Wuchengguan, and it is not yet known which ones are stronger and which ones are weaker.
It’s too early to talk about this now.”
Knowing that Wang Daoyuan was interested in watching the wind and knowing his attitude towards the Zhao family, Shi Zhenbang's mission was completed.
Next, the two of them chatted wordlessly and discussed some cultivation matters.
After chatting for five or six hours, Shi Zhenbang said goodbye and left. Wang Daoyuan still sent him hundreds of miles away.
The Netherworld Sect couldn't sit still the next day. The Guwang Sect came over again and got close to Wang Daoyuan for a long time.
As long as Wang Daoyuan is willing to send troops to attack the Zhao family, the Netherworld Sect can also include the northern part of Heyang County into the Yannan County's sphere of influence.
Moreover, after the Zhao family is destroyed, the territory near Wanchuanfang City can also be included in Yannan County.
Wang Daoyuan patted his chest and assured that there would be no problem, and immediately started to recruit people.
After chatting for several hours, Gu Wangzong was sent away.
As soon as Gu Wangzong left, Wang Daoyuan asked his twelfth uncle to send people to occupy the northern part of Heyang County.
The family monks in the northern part of Heyang County were all captured by the Sixth Prince's people and used as scapegoats.
Those people lost more than half when they attacked Sanhefang City, and the rest were doing meritorious service and have not returned yet. Only some casual cultivators are taking advantage of the situation.
After the monks from the Imperial Envoy's Office drove away the scattered cultivators, they established the Guarding Envoy's Office in Heyunhufang City.
Previously, the Li family and other families had sent their children to join the Imperial Envoy's Office as casual cultivators.
Now, Wang Daoyuan appointed them to guard Heyun Hufang City and stabilize the situation here.
In just one day, the Imperial Envoy's Office took complete control of the entire northern part of Heyang County.
The Netherworld Sect has already reaped the benefits promised. As for sending troops, don't we still need to recruit manpower?
The manpower to rescue the Jiuyou Xuanjing Mine has not been gathered yet, so this matter cannot be rushed.
Wang Daoyuan only took benefits but did not do anything, which made the Netherworld Sect feel angry.
But now I have something to ask for from him, and I don't have the ability to do anything to Wang Daoyuan.
After being tricked by him, the Netherworld Sect still greeted him with a smile.
However, they have also learned so well that they no longer provide practical benefits and just blindly paint the pie.
This made Wang Daoyuan a little regretful that he could no longer defraud benefits from the Netherworld Sect.
At this time, Zhou Luan received news from Wuchengguan.
The Song State should have grasped the news that the monks of the three sects had suffered heavy losses and their family wealth was almost wiped out, so they stopped slowly fighting against the monks of the three sects.
Instead, he wanted to defeat the three major sects in one battle and then advance into the hinterland of the Zhao Kingdom, lest the Zhao family monks unify the Zhao Kingdom and they would have no legitimate reason to annex the Zhao Kingdom's territory.
The Song State directly sent a fourth-order flying warship to the north of Wucheng Pass to suppress the monks of the three sects in an attempt to completely block the logistics channel between Wucheng Pass and Zhao State.
The original idea of the monks of the three sects was to compete with the Song Dynasty for consumption. When the Song Dynasty could no longer afford the consumption, they would naturally withdraw their troops.
The Zhao family couldn't capture the mountain gates of the three major sects even after a short while.
No matter how big the commotion is, the three sects will not be destroyed.
The monks of the Zhao family captured the monks of the old family as scapegoats, which made the monks of the three sects even more overjoyed.
After the Zhao family wiped out these families, they no longer had to worry about the old family seizing power.
But the battle in Sanhefang City made them a little scared. This had already shaken the foundation of the three sects.
Moreover, the monks who stayed behind took out all their family assets, but they were not able to completely solve the Zhao family.
If the trouble continues, the three sects are really in danger of being destroyed.
The monks of the Song Dynasty adopted a posture of cutting off their retreat, which was to force them to fight decisively.
At this time, they had no choice. Even if they wanted to cede territory and seek peace, they had to hurt the Song Dynasty.
The war soon broke out, with the Wanling Sect monks taking the lead.
Send out the spirit birds to kill the flying warships.
Use the speed advantage of the spiritual bird to contain the flying warship.
Since we are going to fight a battle between Golden Elixir monks, we should try our best to hide our strength.
Whoever exposes his trump card first will be more passive.
The spirit bird's method of dealing with flying warships was excellent. Song's flying warships could not completely block the supply lines of the three sects.
After spending a few days, Song Yan could no longer hold himself back and directly sent out the Golden Elixir monks to deal with the spiritual birds.
It's a pity that not all late-stage Jindan cultivators are like the Zhao family, who can fight against humans and monsters without losing.
The Song State sent one or two Jindan monks there, but they were defeated by the spirit birds sent by Wanling Sect.
In addition to the royal family in the Song Dynasty, the golden elixirs of other powers were not as good as those of the three major sects in terms of inheritance.
Everyone has the same cultivation level, and the level of inheritance has a great impact on their strength.
The monks from the Song Kingdom were not as strong as the monks from the three sects in single combat.
Song Yan also stopped playing refueling tactics and sent five late-stage Jindan monks to cut off the supply line.
The monks of the three sects also knew that they could not delay the situation any longer, so they decided to have a showdown with the Song Dynasty.
Two Jindan monks were left to guard Wucheng Pass, and the other thirteen people took action together to eliminate the five Song Dynasty Jindan monks who were blocking the way back.
The Golden Pills of the Song Dynasty had also been prepared for a long time. Song Yan originally brought over fifteen Golden Pills.
During this period of time, he took out all his back-up staff, and twenty golden elixir monks came out at once.
However, the monks from the three sects have corpses and spirit beasts, and the thirteen people plus seven spirit beasts and five corpses are not far behind at all.
The two sides fought for a whole day. The Song Kingdom lost five Jindan monks, and the Zhao Kingdom lost three Jindan monks, a spiritual beast and a refined corpse. The two sides were considered to be a draw.
Song Yan took this opportunity to consume the other five golden elixir cultivators in the Song Kingdom. He didn't care if a few golden elixirs died.
But the three sects did not dare to waste any more time and could only seek peace.
The two sides fought back and forth for more than a month before finally reaching an agreement.
The three sects ceded Wucheng Pass and both sides stopped fighting.
