324 The Lord Is Missing(1/2)
"Lord Ye, what are you going to do?"
Xing Jiang asked in surprise after hearing this. The Great Zhou Dynasty is eager to rest quietly and it is absolutely impossible to provoke trouble at this time.
What's more, there was a friction with Ye Xuan's side. Who doesn't know that he is still safe in the face of the 400,000 coalition forces?
Although there are not many people who have clear specific situations, you can imagine how unusual Ye Xuan’s side is. Unless Deng Xiao’s brain is kicked by a donkey, how could he be so ignorant?
Yes, even though Deng Xiao has tens of thousands of troops, in the eyes of the world, compared with Ye Xuan's side, he definitely hits the stone with eggs.
"It's nothing big, I just saw that the three-doubted area is empty all the time, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Ye Xuan said calmly: "The Iron Triangle Alliance is just when it needs to be expanded, and by the way, I will collect the three-doubt area."
"You... are really restless." Xing Jiang said inexplicably, but he had to secretly write the word "天" in his heart.
"It's just a piece of land, and it's very normal for those who are capable to live there. If the Great Zhou Dynasty had the ability, it would be better to take it back." Ye Xuan said naturally.
"Now the Great Zhou Dynasty is too busy to take care of itself, so there is no extra ability to go to Deng Xiao. Lord Ye must have seen this opportunity and chose to attack him, right?" Xing Jiang analyzed.
"Mr. Xing is right." Ye Xuan did not go into this. In fact, Xing Jiang was not completely speaking.
The most important reason why Ye Xuan wanted to take over the Sanyi Zone was to build a new city north of that place.
The Heishui River is just a tributary, while the Xincheng relies on the main river channel and can even directly lead to the sea to the east.
For these natives, they were also aware of the huge wealth hidden in the sea, and how could Ye Xuan, as a time traveler, not know?
Besides, the upgraded faith value store has already shown drawings for manufacturing ships, and even the prototype of steam engines.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available!
This east wind is the new city under Ye Xuan’s plan.
At that time, we only need to build a fleet. Not to mention other aspects, just military aspects will have more tactical changes.
Xing Jiang failed to get what he wanted from Ye Xuan. Although he did not part in the end, he ended earlier than before.
Even, I didn't even mention the order matters.
Ye Xuan smelled some smell similar to economic blockade from it, and couldn't help but smile. Hei Shui City is no longer the former Hei Shui City.
Merchants gather in the world!
What we are talking about is that today's Heishui City is good at eating, drinking, and having a lot of entertainment. It's real and has a tax rate that is lower than that of other places.
For dealers, Ye Xuan directly removed many items in terms of tax rates, leaving only one tax, called transaction tax.
The content is also very simple. If there is transaction, there is tax. If there is no transaction, there is no need to pay tax. As for the tax rate, you can adopt a step-by-step approach. If you reach a certain level of transaction volume, you can get some discount.
Ye Xuan just proposed a concept, and then handed it over to the Department of Household Affairs and Commerce. Once it was released, it received a lot of praise from merchants.
After all, for them, as long as they have seen benefits, they are willing to go even if they are far away.
Therefore, even if the Eastern Paradise Province secretly stumbling, Ye Xuan could choose to go to the Liaoyue Province or the Beicang Province.
Nowadays, four princes are having a lot of fun fighting, but they also need to ensure logistics, and the circulation of goods by merchants plays the key.
Even though they knew that these goods came from Ye Xuan, the four princes would turn a blind eye. After all, the most important thing at the moment is the throne.
As long as the throne is obtained and the Shang Dynasty is under control, it can call on the Eastern Paradise Province in the name of the emperor.
With the current strength of Grand Duke Dongping, isn’t fighting Ye Xuan just like playing?
Each has his own ulterior motives, which is about the current situation.
Ye Xuan's attitude towards the Eastern Paradise Province did not change much because of his relationship with Lin Qingxuan.
But he can guarantee that he is definitely not the party who fired the first shot.
Although the Iron Triangle Alliance troops commanded by Mr. Wu are not treated as Black Water Army, their level is beyond the reach of this world.
Weapons and equipment have been updated, and the 100-steel-making technology (fifty-smelting) is the standard configuration and belongs to the same sequence as those used in Ruiyang City.
The equipment of other cities is the lower-level steelmaking technology (thirty-six), which belongs to the same sequence as the weapons and equipment built by the Eastern Paradise Province.
To put it simply, it was replaced by Hei Shui City, and it was the turn of Iron Triangle Alliance and Ruiyang City to use it. The two were replaced by Qingle City and other cities.
Not to mention the difference between closeness and alienation, there must be a person who comes first and then arrives. In this way, it can avoid waste. If Qingle City and other cities are replaced, you can consider selling them to others.
After all, the Shang Dynasty is now fighting everywhere, and it is almost in chaos.
Deng Xiao's troops in the east are already in comparison with weapons and equipment, not to mention logistics, they are no match for them at all.
When Ye Xuan got the news again, Wu Anguo had already taken advantage of the victory to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop, besieging Deng Xiao's troops in Wangxi City.
"You old man is going to go to heaven!" Ye Xuan shook his head gently and praised sincerely.
"The old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their old age and have ambitions!"
I have to say that Mr. Wu is definitely a powerful soldier.
But he was really old, and Ye Xuan was grateful for his loyalty and wanted to let the other party enjoy his old age. Therefore, he did not let him go in the previous battle.
Now that the three-no matter zone is enough to be as easy as drinking water, even if Deng Xiao's troops come to stop him, the chances of winning of the Iron Triangle Alliance are more than 80%.
Therefore, Ye Xuan specially asked Mr. Wu to take action, which was considered to relieve the boredom.
Who would have thought that Mr. Wu would bring him such a surprise?
After hearing this news, many people gathered at the lord's mansion. Obviously, things had exceeded the original plan and were worried about some unpredictable accidents.
“Master, what should I do now?”
"Isn't it the area in the east? Just take it and take it off. Just be happy!" Ye Xuan had a good impression of Deng Xiao. If he had the opportunity to be included in his position, it would be a surprise.
"If it comes, I'm afraid the Great Zhou Dynasty will not give up!" Many people said with concern and concern on this point.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty experienced a great famine and its strength was greatly damaged, the lean camel was bigger than a horse. If he turned around and came to deal with Heishui City...
"Don't underestimate yourself, think about our strength!"
Ye Xuan's face was full of confidence and he said cheerfully.
"Who are you afraid of in Hei Shui City today?"
War has always been cruel. There is no right or wrong, only victory or defeat!
Wangxi City is a relatively large city in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the place where Deng Xiao's troops stationed.
When Wu Anguo commanded the troops to capture Wangxicheng, the soldiers who entered suddenly felt superiority when they saw the situation in the city.
The people in any town near the Iron Triangle Alliance may be much better than those in the West City.
This is not an exaggeration. After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty was deeply trapped in a great famine, and even Wangxi City, which was far away from the central area, was not spared.
After all, Wei Suo, who was lurking in the Great Zhou Dynasty, received Ye Xuan's instructions and continued to promote "there is food for black water".
For the people in the Great Famine, that is a way out.
If you want to go from the Great Zhou Dynasty to Heishui City, you will inevitably pass through Wangxi City.
As the guard of Wangxicheng, Deng Xiao naturally would not see the people disgusted with his own eyes, but Wangxicheng alone was not enough, so he could only "sell" the people to Heishuicheng.
Although it sounds a bit awkward to support the people by "selling" the grain they exchanged for, Deng Xiao's character can be seen.
Even if both sides are hostile, Ye Xuan will give him a thumbs up.
Therefore, when Mr. Wu led his troops to siege Wangxicheng for a few days, Deng Xiao had no choice but to lead the crowd to surrender.
There is only one condition, and we must treat the people in Xicheng well.
Then, Deng Xiao was tied up and brought to Ye Xuan.
"General Deng, we're meeting again." Ye Xuan did not ridicule the other party, but instead let people loosen their ties and treat each other with courtesy.
"Lord Ye's troops are indeed as powerful as the rumors say. They are not at all inferior to the 400,000 coalition forces, and Deng lost without any mistake!" Deng Xiao sighed deeply and found a step by himself.
"Actually, I only want to let the three ignore the area. As long as you don't come to stop it, the next thing will not happen." Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Lord Ye, it's really not to be hiding it. Deng Xiao said astonishingly without any hesitation.
"Uh, what do you mean?" Ye Xuan was a little surprised.
"Wangxi City is already overwhelmed." Deng Xiao frowned tightly and said solemnly, "After that, Deng was really overestimated and tried to retain more people, but in the end he was dragged down."
"The stock of Wangxicheng has not exceeded ten days, so Deng knew he was defeated, but he bit the bullet and stopped General Wu. Alas..."
"But now Wangxicheng has been under Lord Ye's banner. I believe that under Lord Ye's reputation for treating the people well, I will not ignore the people of Wangxicheng, right?"
"General Deng, are you losing or winning?" Ye Xuan was not very upset. Although he was "calculated", he had a huge land and a lot of population.
From this point of view alone, not only did there be no losses, but made a lot of money.
"Of course I lost." Deng Xiao said mockingly, "I believe it won't take long. The court will definitely know what's going on here. At present, the only thing Deng is worried about is his family in the imperial city."
What Deng Xiao pointed out was naturally the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"General Deng, let me reiterate the old saying. If the Lord takes your family over, would you be willing to serve the Lord?" Ye Xuan once again threw out an olive branch. The other party was full of energy before, so it was naturally impossible to agree. Now it is a good time.
"Lord Ye, please forgive Deng for not being willing to be an enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Deng Xiao said resolutely.
"Then you can just not participate in any matters related to the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future."
Ye Xuan's thinking was obviously much more active, and he said frankly: "If this is the case, there will be no problem, right?"
"Lord Ye, can you tell me why you value Deng so much?" Deng Xiaozhonglai never thought of such an operation. Obviously, judging from Ye Xuan's expression, he was not joking, but it made him even more confused.
