Chapter 0916: The Afterglow Has Not Faded
Because the ring ends so quickly, many people who want to get in the ring don't get a chance.
And the simple ring competition is respected, even if you know that because of the war, there is not much time to organize a huge promotion competition, but it still makes many strangers complain that it is too simple, and it will end before it is enjoyable.
At the same time, it also made many people want to fight for prestige, even if they are not valued by Zhang Yuan at that time, they will at least show themselves in front of the envoys of the princes, but unfortunately Guo Jing's strength is there, and they can only watch it and return in vain.
However, the martial arts arena arranged outside the West Hall on the second day dispelled many people's complaints, and the martial arts were divided into many items such as bow and arrow, mounted archery, group battles, and solo battles. Compared with the first day of the ring competition, it seems to be more professional and more powerful, and the number of people watching is huge, thousands.
But at this time, if anyone understands it, they are fools, and many wait-and-see forces are all beating their chests and shouting miscalculation. Just because, Zhang Yuan himself was not participating in the viewing. This also makes the lively conference completely a sideshow, and even for those 'big fish', it is not even a leisure activity.
On the west hall, it is still heavily guarded, but there is no yesterday's liveliness, and the empty hall is only Zhang Yuan and Yue Hong in addition to the guards of the guards.
At this time, Yue Hong solemnly hugged his fists at Zhang Yuan and said, "Then, the foreign minister is here to thank the King of Xihe for his generosity!" ”
"You're welcome, it's just reciprocal!" Zhang Yuan sat on the top and waved his hand.
"Please allow the foreign minister to retire first!" After Yue Hong saluted, he strode out. The line was a little hurried, and Yan Sù's face couldn't hide a little joy.
I have to say that Zhang Yuan's promises and benefits are not insignificant. It was a few points better than expected.
Among them, the trade of war horses and weapons is the main purpose of Yue Hong's visit, although Putuo Villa has been operating in the Yuan Dynasty for a long time, but the Mongols have a strict view of weapons and war horses, and after the strangulation more than ten years ago, Putuo Villa is also a great injury. Although there has been some recovery over the years, Genghis Khan hated him to the bone and never let go of the pursuit of him. So much so that the power of Putuo Mountain Villa is not as good as before.
So. Although he was able to obtain some war horses a little, in order not to attract Genghis Khan's attention and expose himself, Putuo Villa could only slowly accumulate strength. Today, there is a supply from the West River. Naturally, they secretly build weapons. It's much better to get a small number of war horses.
If these two points are achieved, the big stone in Yue Hong's heart has already landed, then Zhang Yuan promised to trade a little Xuan Iron Ore, as well as Xuan Iron Weapons, and divide a piece of territory, which is beyond Yue Hong's imagination.
Although Xuan Iron is not as rare as Xuan Tie, it still cannot be mass-produced, and it is the entire Yuan Dynasty. There are only a few dark iron veins found, and they are all in the deep mountains and old forests. Mining and transportation are extremely difficult, production is very low, supply exceeds demand, and there is no price in the black market, which is the focus of various forces.
Putuo Mountain Villa is a means to the sky, and it can only be chewed slowly to increase savings.
Not to mention the territory, although it is not Zhang Yuan's hinterland, and even in line with the Yuan Dynasty, but for Putuo Villa, it is also a big cake. For Putuo Villa, which is now in a constrained, they are neither short of money nor manpower, but it is more important than anything else to have a piece of land that can develop freely without fear.
Owning a piece of territory, and still under the banner of Zhang Yuan, whether it is to command the forces of the entire Putuo Villa in the center at that time, or to concentrate on accelerating the development of its own strength, it is much stronger than being bound under the surveillance of the Mongols.
After all, in this way, they can develop freely without restrictions, which is a leap forward for Putuo Mountain Villa.
If in the sphere of influence of the Mongols, once the strength gathered together is too great, it is quite possible to attract the attention of Genghis Khan.
You must know that in order to rule the world, Genghis Khan not only suppressed bloodily, but also followed by secret agents, and there were countless spies, and I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes were bought by him and became their lackeys, distributed in all corners of the world, monitoring all places.
Waiting for Yue Hong to leave, Zhang Yuan heard the return of a soldier and frowned: "Guo Jing, they actually left?" ”
Unexpected, completely unexpected.
The appearance of Guo Jing and others was beyond Zhang Yuan's expectations, and leaving in a hurry at this time was completely unexpected by Zhang Yuan. He thought that he could at least meet Guo Jing, but he left this morning, obviously he didn't want to meet, which made Zhang Yuan a little disappointed and confused, what did Guo Jing mean?
'Is there something I'm not doing right?' Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, if he didn't want to get along with Guo Jing in what he did yesterday, then it could only mean that the two sides had no fate. The minister chooses the lord, and the lord chooses the minister, he is such a person, if he leaves because of this, then even if he is forced to do so, Guo Jing will leave sooner or later.
"Send an order to Cao Yuanjing and ask him to take his headquarters to escort General Guo away!" Since Guo Jing left, Zhang Yuan still has to say one or two, in the Yuan Dynasty, Guo Jing's reputation is very great, if Guo Jing has an accident in the West River, this is not what Zhang Yuan wants to see. Of course, this is also a matter of generosity.
"Lord Qiqi, the envoy of the White Lotus Sect, Ge Erqiu, and Luo Sect Luo Mengchao ask to meet!"
"Huh!" Zhang Yuan chuckled and shook his head: "These two people are-for-tat, they don't give in to each other, it's okay, just see them, after all, the White Lotus Sect and the Luo Sect are both dog skin plasters, and they can't bear it!" It's better to let them continue to plague Genghis Khan! ”
Whether it is the White Lotus Sect or the Luo Sect, they are all organizations that have not been welcomed by the Chinese dynasties, and their missionary methods similar to pyramid schemes are extremely aggressive and terrifying. And their innate rebellious genes make them unwilling to be lonely, as long as there is a slight mistake in the world, they will inevitably be indispensable.
And compared to them, the Mingjiao who have already served can only be regarded as half. Because, Mingjiao is not as aggressive as theirs.
Because of this, Zhang Yuan was able to control part of the power of the Ming Sect.
"Let them in!" Zhang Yuan didn't hesitate, and then spoke. For the two sects, Zhang Yuan was respectful and kept in touch with a little contact, and he didn't really plan to make friends, and he never had the intention of accepting them. Both organizations are insane, and their aggressiveness makes them extremely easy to succeed in, but also easy to be kidnapped by the will of their believers.
Of course, judging from the appearance of the previous dynasties, it is often their sect leaders who end up destroying miè, and the two sects will still survive tenaciously...... (To be continued......)
