"Brother Dou, does he know something about the relations between the countries in the Eastern Region?" Yang Zhen became interested.
Zhenguodian not only manages the various counties and counties in the Xu Kingdom, but is also responsible for foreign exchanges. It has been more than two years since Dou Xichang took over the position of palace master. Even if he was not familiar with the relationship between various countries before, he should be aware of it now.
As one of his more valued juniors, Dou Manxiong was surrounded by people around him and knew something about it.
So Yang Zhen asked the little fat man to ask, and she really asked the right person.
"I know a little bit," Dou Manxiong has never been a humble person. He immediately took out a map from his storage bag, his eyebrows were dancing and he was eloquent:
"Everyone, please see, our country, Xu, is located at the eastern end of the mainland. Further east, there is the endless sea. The big island in the upper left corner is Sangzhou. The many small dots dotted in the lower right corner are the Island Alliance."
He pointed down: "To the south of our country, there is a vast and desolate forest. This is the territory of the Wu tribe. The Wu tribe is formed into tribes with the same surname and clan, and the tribes are united to form a country. It is named Kuang country, which is one of the seven great countries."
The so-called seven major countries in the Eastern Region not only have a vast territory but also a large number of people. It is also because these seven countries have Yuan Ying Ancestors sitting in charge, with long heritage and strong strength, and they should not be underestimated.
Dou Manxiong continued to point out the country: "There is a large desert in the northwest of Xu State, which is Shazhou. The lower left side of Shazhou is the State of Qin."
"The State of Qin and our State of Xu are adjacent to Shazhou and Shaozhou in the north, and in the middle are Chongzhou and Xiangzhou, separated by millions of monster mountains. To the south is a small country known for its weapon refining, Daye State. Caught between Qin and Xu."
"Further west from the Qin State, there is a long and narrow Mediterranean Sea, the narrowest point is only a hundred miles. To the west of the sea, there is a continent with more than ten countries on it, including four big countries, namely Zhao, Liang, Zhou, and Ju . Among them, Zhao State and Qin State face each other across the sea, and the other three countries are in the north, middle and south of Zhao State respectively. "
"The combined territory of these four great countries is only twice that of my country, but its population is ten times that of mine. This territory is recognized by everyone as the center of the continent, rich in resources, spiritual energy, and countless monks."
Dou Manxiong's eyes glowed with desire. However, he also knows that the more resource-rich a place is, the more intense the competition will be. He is a child of the Jindan family here. If he really wants to go to the Four Kingdoms, he may not have the current cultivation conditions.
These geographical common senses are obviously well understood by several people here, and Dou Manxiong's focus is not on these. He took a sip of spiritual tea and then took out the real stuff:
"In our country of Xu, there are demons invading the north; Sangzhou in the east is nominally surrendered, but in fact it often disturbs the border; the west is bordered by demons, and beast tides are frequent; the northwest is even at odds with the Qin State. This environment is really not good. That’s pretty good.”
"Fortunately, the Kuang Kingdom in the south has always kept its peace and rarely disturbs us. In order not to make enemies everywhere, we also try to win over the Wu clan and deliberately make friends with them."
"But when it comes to the surrounding environment, Qin State is not much better than us." He clasped his fingers heavily on Zhao State: "The relationship between Zhao State and Qin State is even worse than our Xu State. Both countries have once They crossed the sea to attack each other and had deep grievances. So, Qin is truly surrounded by enemies on both sides, caught in the middle and unable to move, haha!"
"In addition, the Zhao State and the Liang State also have disputes from time to time. This is also a country that is attacked from both sides."
"Therefore, the four countries of Xu, Qin, Zhao, and Liang all adopted the national policy of establishing distant relations and attacking closely. Our country of Xu was in alliance with Zhao, while the country of Liang was in alliance with Qin, and the four countries contained each other. However, in comparison, our country of Xu There is no fundamental conflict of interest with Liang Guo, and the relationship is by no means as bad as you think, in private..."
The little fat man had a simple and honest smile on his face. He didn't continue talking and changed the subject:
"Finally, let's talk about Zhou and Ju. Zhou has the only ancestor of our Eastern Region who is a god, and is regarded as the common master by all countries. Therefore, Zhou has the highest status among the seven major countries and is the most famous. If we meet Zhou Monks must be treated with courtesy and must not be neglected."
"Ju State is famous for its talismans. It is the weakest among the seven countries. There is only one ancestor in the early stage of Yuanying in the country, which is similar to Nasangzhou. However, Ju State has close relations with Zhou State and gets along well with other countries. They often Together with Zhou State, as a mediator in the disputes between other countries, everyone also gives face."
After saying this, Dou Manxiong then introduced the politics and humanities of various countries, the status of monks in the country, etc.
For example, the Xu State believed that monks should not interfere in secular affairs, but they had the responsibility of aid and supervision, and the royal family was not allowed to practice, etc.
The Qin State was based on sects and monks ruled the country. The emperor himself is the Jin Dan Zhenren, and the big and small dignitaries in the country are all occupied by monks of various realms. These monks not only occupy a large amount of cultivation resources, but also enjoy the power and wealth in the world.
The only Yuanying ancestor is also the supreme emperor of the country. His status is revered, almost the same as that of a god.
As for the four countries in the west, due to the large number of sects in their territory, they formed alliances with each other and then attached themselves to a powerful sect to form a country. Therefore, the boundaries between countries often change, resulting in countless disputes.
The two countries Liang and Zhao first became enemies because of this, and then became feuds.
There are also small sects that build a country on their own, fawn on the left and right, struggle to survive, rise and fall, and so on.
All these are not enough.
…
The little fat man put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at everyone with a smile, meaning that I have finished speaking, please give me a thumbs up.
"That's all?" Yang Zhen pretended to be disdainful.
"That's not enough! If I didn't tell you, how could you clarify the relationship between these countries?" The little fat man was unhappy when he heard this and argued with a red face.
Yang Zhen smiled "haha" and quickly gave him some tea to appease this guy's dissatisfaction.
The next few people chatted casually. Not long after, the sound transmission stone on Yang Zhen's waist made a sound. When she picked it up and listened, the young man's expression suddenly turned cold.
"What's going on?" Zhao Yuer asked curiously.
"Someone is coming from the Demon Suppression Hall," the young man replied, "I asked if you are here too, please let us all go over."
"Are we all going?" Zhao Yuer'er frowned slightly: "Is it still about the battle exploits of the beast tide?"
"Maybe." Yang Zhen said lightly, then stood up.
But the little fat man suddenly slapped his head and said loudly: "It has nothing to do with the beast tide, I know what the Demon Suppression Hall is here to do!"
"My ancestor said that when all countries gather next month, the seven major countries will send Jin Dan as a negotiator. Our Yunxiao Sect's representative is none other than Zhenyao Temple Tan Zhenren. The reception of all parties in this negotiation and other matters will also be handled by Zhenyao Sect. The leader of the palace."
"The people coming to the Demon Suppression Hall this time should be choosing a location and a place for negotiation!"
…
Dou Manxiong's guess was absolutely correct.
When the four people from the restaurant rushed to the county hall, they saw from a distance outside the main hall, a middle-aged man in Taoist robes and a cow bun standing with his hands behind his hands. The young man with a round face and a big mouth next to him kept urging Heituyue who was standing beside him:
"Where's your host? When will he come over?"
Heituyue explained in a low voice: "I have been notified and will be here soon."
Just as he was talking, Yang Zhen laughed loudly and said, "Senior Brother Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"
