Chapter 397: When the Water Is Clear, There Will Be No Fish
Zi Lian'er said something inexplicable, Lu Li half understood it, he didn't think about it, he was relieved.
He has been entangled with the matter of the Zi family for many days, but this time it can be regarded as a successful victory. The Tianwu Kingdom surrendered, and the only thing left is the Tianliang Kingdom.
The current ruler of Tianliang Kingdom is Ye Li, who once fought against Ye Yun at Baidi Mountain, and Lu Li doesn't have any affection for him. In fact, he is not going to conquer the Ye family anymore, because he wants to monopolize the resources of Tianliang country.
Having given up the resources of one Tianwu country, it is impossible not to take the resources of the remaining two countries. Otherwise, what would he do when he returned to Beimo? What's the use of being the Great Emperor of Beimo without resources?
...
When Zi Lian'er returned to Tianwu City and told Lu Li's promise, Zi Huanqiao and the others were immediately overjoyed. With the help of the Zi family, they couldn't stop Lu Li.
The Zi family immediately held a lobby meeting, and the Zi family quickly came up with a resolution, and announced their surrender the next day. The Tianwu Kingdom will no longer exist, and all the families will belong to Lu Li. If anyone dares to disobey, the Zi family will send troops to conquer.
Seeing that the boss had surrendered, all the families in Tianwu Kingdom responded one after another, expressing their willingness to follow the Zi family and join Lu Li.
After Zi Huanqiao was confirmed, on the third day, he brought the patriarchs of the Tianwu Kingdom's fourth-rank family and above to Tianhan City, and formally surrendered to Lu Li.
Of the three kingdoms of the Northern Desert, a Thousand Lakes Island, only the Tianliang Kingdom remained. The Tianliang Kingdom panicked. The question is, what is the use of their surrender? Ye Li knew very well that the Battle of Baidi Mountain already had a grudge with Lu Li.
Ye Li could only arrange for the children of the Ye family to abscond secretly, and at the same time send envoys to Tianhan City to negotiate with Lu Li.
As a result, the people of the Ye family were completely speechless!
Lu Li didn't see their envoy, so he sent Mrs. Yan to negotiate. Mrs. Yan gave a sentence, the Ye family has only one way, unconditional surrender, so as to avoid the whole family from being wiped out.
Mrs. Yan was simmering with fire in her heart, but the old man in heaven and Bai Xi died at the hands of Du Heng Yeli and others. Zi Huan Qiao and Lu Li had a good relationship, Du Xie couldn't be offended by her, Du Heng was dead, Ye Li naturally became her punching bag.
The Ye family has no choice but to fight to the death!
Fifteen days later, the Tianhan Kingdom had almost stabilized. With a wave of his hand, Lu Li ordered the Yuhuashen to lead his troops to the expedition. At the same time, let Zihuan Qiao lead the strong men from Tianwu Kingdom to attack Tianliang Kingdom from another route.
Lu Li's offer to the Zi family was too generous. Although Mrs. Yan Yuhuashen and the others didn't say anything, they must have thought in their hearts, so Lu Li asked the Zi family to contribute, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public.
Zihuanqiao naturally knew this truth, and immediately summoned the strong men of Tianwu Kingdom to gather an army of 10,000 to attack Tianliang Kingdom.
Lu Li did not go out with the army, this kind of massacre-style battle is very boring. If there are so many strong people who can't beat Tianliang Kingdom, Yuhuashen and Zihuan Qiao can die.
Mrs. Yan did not disappoint Lu Li. Before the army left, the situation of the entire Tianliang Kingdom had already been figured out. Originally, these things were done by Ye Yun and others, but now they are no longer needed, Mrs. Yan can handle them all by herself.
Lu Li had no intention of cultivating, so he accompanied Lu Feixue every day. Bai Xiashuang was also paralyzed and couldn't leave, following them every day. Madam Yan obviously has ulterior motives. Bai Xiashuang and Lu Li are friends, and she hopes that they will go further.
Lu Feixue didn't practice anymore, she was free to chat with Bai Xiashuang, asking about Beimo's situation, the relationship between various forces and so on.
Lu Li didn't have time to manage these things, and Lu Li also asked her for help. He had to be busy with his cultivation, so Lu Feixue was ready to take over everything from now on.
Although it's not trivial, big things must be involved. Since we want to manage the entire Northern Desert, we must find out the situation, right?
Bai Xiashuang was innocent and innocent, and Lu Feixue was Lu Li's aunt. She asked Bai Xiashuang what to say. After a few days, Lu Feixue had a little understanding of the situation in Beimo.
After all, she was born in a super rich family. Although Lu Feixue has never managed it, she has never eaten pork or seen pigs running. The Lu family has a great business, there are countless resources such as mineral veins, medicine fields, Lingshan, etc., too many elders and deacons,
The department is even bigger. This small Beimohe is not even comparable to a domain of the Lu family. It is too simple to manage.
Lu Li had already set up his airs, Mrs. Yan was in charge of the inside, and Yuhua God was in charge of the outside, so there was actually not much going on. Afterwards, various resource integrations, various local forces' suppression and pensions, peace of the people, etc., confirmed Lu Li's absolute authority.
It is said that managing the world is very simple in the final analysis. One is internal troubles, but external troubles, as long as the two aspects are handled well.
With the help of Jiang Qiling now, there is no need to worry about foreign troubles for a short time. The internal worry is to make the world stable, make everyone obey the management, and make the families stable. In the final analysis, it is also a matter of profit distribution.
Lu Li must take the lead, otherwise there would be no point in returning to Beimo. The distribution of benefits in the future will definitely be uneven. At this time, only two methods can be adopted. One is to win over, but to suppress. In short, let all the families have a bite to eat, and let everyone follow Lu Li.
...
As time passed, the two armies had already begun to attack the Tianliang Kingdom, and the force along the way was overwhelming. The cities and towns they passed changed their flags, and many powerful families were beheaded. In fact, many families have long since surrendered their sincerity, and surrendered as soon as the army arrived...
However!
Yuhuashen and Zihuan Qiao ordered the massacre, regardless of whether you surrender or not. After the families in Tianliang Kingdom heard about it, they all shared the same hatred, and no family surrendered anymore, and they all chose to fight to the death.
Therefore, the advancing speed of the two armies began to slow down. In the beginning, they could capture dozens of cities a day, but now they can only capture a dozen cities a day, and there are still a few casualties here.
When the news was sent back to Tianhan City, Lu Li was furious!
"Send an order to Yuhuashen and Zihuan Qiao, if they can't fight well, they will withdraw, and I will lead the troops myself."
Lu Li looked at Madam Yan coldly and shouted angrily. Madam Yan didn't move, but smiled and said, "My lord, you can't give this order."
"Um?"
Lu Li's eyes shone coldly, he glared at Madam Yan and said, "What? Even you don't obey my orders anymore? Are you thinking about it?"
Lu Li's anger was full of momentum, like a lion king with a bristling mane. Madam Yan was not panicked, instead she said with a smile: "It's not that I don't obey your orders, even if the young master wants Bai Yan to die, I will never blink. Can you calm down and listen to my explanation?"
Lu Li sat down angrily, and said coldly, "Say it, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'll hang you at the gate of the palace."
Madam Yan smiled and said, "Master, have you ever heard a saying? When the water is clear, there will be no fish? Why did Yuhuashen and Zihuan Qiao go all the way? Naturally, they wanted to plunder the wealth of those families, and they plundered Most of the resources must be handed over. There are still those who survived and surrendered, and the territory is still theirs, and their family’s mine, Lingshan, etc., should they be forced to hand it over?"
"It's easy to fight, but where will the post-war rewards come from? If there is no vacant land, how can you confer meritorious officials? As for our side, many people have died. Yu Huashen and Zihuan Qiao must also be thinking about you. Death The people... are all the children of families who have surrendered to the Tianhan Kingdom. Many of these family powerhouses have died, and a lot of territory has been vacated in the Tianhan Kingdom. The resources occupied by those families will belong to the son in the future It's..."
"Well?"
Lu Li was dumbfounded, and rubbed his nose embarrassingly. He didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns. If Mrs. Yan didn't explain, he wouldn't think about it at all.
In this world, where there is light, there is darkness. The filth in the ditches is beyond his imagination...
