"Hey, why hasn't Brother Zhao left yet?"
"Brother Yang, if I don't meet you again today, I'm going to leave. Today happens to be the third day. I've been walking around the imperial capital for a few days, wondering if I can meet you again. I didn't expect that I would. It’s your turn, it seems I’m lucky. Chen← Yuan↑Literature↗网”
Zhao Benling smiled.
"Ah, what does Brother Zhao have to do with me?"
Zhao Ben was stunned for a moment and said:
"Brother Yang, I told you a few days ago that I asked you to go to Changbai Mountain to open a stronghold. When will you go?"
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Brother Zhao is really refreshing. If you are willing, you can go back to the northeast and help me open the stronghold transmission channel. I can send someone over immediately."
"Okay, there is a small town called Mushroom Tunnel at the foot of Changbai Mountain. It has a population of four to five hundred people. When I return, I will immediately ask Mushroom Tun to open a teleportation channel to Shashi in southern Hunan Province."
"Okay, thank you very much, Brother Zhao."
"Haha, you and I, brothers, you're welcome. In fact, we don't talk secretly. I am a straightforward person and don't like to beat around the bush. I let you enter Changbai Mountain, so naturally you still have your own ideas."
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Brother Zhao wants me and Du Tianxing to enter Changbai Mountain to help you contain Gu Beifeng, so that if Gu Beifeng wants to annex the three northeastern provinces in the future, he will have to be cautious?"
Zhao Benling nodded,
"Brother Yang is indeed an open-minded person. This is just my little calculation. I hope Brother Yang can help me."
Zhao Benling immediately pulled Yang Xiao to a remote place near the Royal Capital International Hotel Plaza and briefly told him about being controlled by Gu Beifeng.
Zhao Benling met Gu Beifeng when he was training in the Magic City, and they both opened teleportation channels. Gu Beifeng had long been interested in the mutated biological resources in the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain.
At that time, most areas in the Huaxia Region were subject to the influence of cold winter, and there were relatively few mutant biological resources on the land, but the three eastern provinces were different.
Even in the cold winter season when the mountains are closed, the mutated monsters in Changbai Mountain are still very active, because the previous winter here was very cold, and the mutated creatures in the mountains have long been accustomed to the severe cold. This is different from places such as the southern part of the Central Plains in the Huaxia District.
Gu Beifeng personally went to the three northeastern provinces several times, inspected Changbai Mountain, large and small Anling and other primitive forests, and persuaded Zhao Benling to give him a stronghold in a small mountain town.
At first, Gu Beifeng was quite honest. However, after the city alliance in Huaxia District disintegrated, Gu Beifeng expanded unscrupulously in Changbai Mountain. He successively annexed dozens of strongholds under the mountain and occupied two-thirds of Changbai Mountain. area.
Later, even Zhao Bing's people had to obtain their permission to go hunting in Changbai Mountain and enter the territory controlled by Gu Beifeng.
Zhao Benling knew that he was luring the wolf into the house, but his strength was lower than Gu Beifeng's, so he could only tolerate it. Fortunately, the three northeastern provinces were rich in virgin forest resources, and there was no need for him to compete with Gu Beifeng for Changbai Mountain.
"Brother Yang, I don't have to give up Changbai Mountain. It's not a problem to give him Gu Beifeng. However, people are not willing to swallow the elephant like a snake. He has recently expressed interest in the Greater Khingan Range and Lesser Khingan Range areas, and sent people to test it out several times. Hunting, alas, I also have hardships to express, but I dare not express my anger."
Zhao Benling felt aggrieved when he spoke.
Yang Xiao patted Zhao Benling on the shoulder and said:
"Brother Zhao, have you ever thought about it, if Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing and I all enter Changbai Mountain, if the three of us join forces, will you still have the three eastern provinces?"
After Zhao Benling heard this, his body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and he looked at Yang Xiao with horror on his face.
It was not that he had not considered this, but he finally made this decision, making a risky move and taking a gamble. Now that Yang Xiao had revealed it, he was naturally terrified.
Seeing Zhao Benling's horrified expression, Yang Xiao laughed and said:
"If it were in the past, I might have joined forces with Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing to annex your three eastern provinces. However, that won't happen now. Don't worry, they and I are not in the same boat."
After Zhao Benling heard this, he immediately grinned and said:
"I knew I wouldn't be wrong about Brother Yang."
"Also, Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing also have conflicts. Gu Beifeng dominates the north, and naturally he is very taboo about Du Tianxing interfering in the northern territory. Therefore, the two of them will not really join forces, but,"
When Yang Xiao said this, he hesitated and looked at Zhao Benling.
"Brother Yang, nothing more than what?"
"However, they are very afraid of me now, so they do not rule out joining forces to deal with me. Of course, if I are squeezed out of Changbai Mountain by them, Brother Zhao's territory will probably be squeezed out by them soon. They are both Even though the two wolves have conflicts with each other, they can still work together to seize your three eastern provinces, and then share the blame with each other..."
As soon as Yang Xiao said this, Zhao Benling's face became uncertain, and his body even trembled slightly.
Finally, Zhao Benling sighed and said:
"I also know that this is the end of the world, and the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If such a day comes, it can only be my life."
The words revealed helplessness and sadness.
"I have a plan that can help Brother Zhao tide over the difficulties temporarily, and at least keep you worry-free for a few years."
"Brother Yang, really? What's your plan? I'll listen to you."
Zhao Benling suddenly grabbed Yang Xiao's hand, feeling a little excited.
"Ahem, Brother Zhao, don't get excited, listen to me first, and then you decide."
"Okay, Brother Yang, tell me and I'll listen."
Zhao Benling was like a drowning man who suddenly saw a piece of wood floating in the water and showed hope.
He had already considered the future of the three eastern provinces, but as long as Gu Beifeng was in Changbai Mountain, he would inevitably be annexed sooner or later. The introduction of Yang Xiao and Du Tianxing was also a risky move he made out of desperation.
No one would rather be a chicken head than a cow queen, and no one wants to be annexed by others. Moreover, once he is annexed by Gu Beifeng, Gu Beifeng will not rule out killing him to avoid future troubles. This is also what he is most worried about.
Yang Xiao nodded and said:
"After I go back this time, if there are no accidents, I will immediately conquer Li Jiachen's territory of Eastern Guangdong Province, as well as the entire Hubei, and then Jiangxi. After I own the four provinces, I will be second only to Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing. Three forces, if you want to keep your territory in the three eastern provinces, the only way out is to form an alliance with me."
"An alliance?"
Zhao Benling's eyes lit up.
"Yes, if you trust me, I can be your backup. At least Du Tianxing does not dare to join forces with Gu Beifeng to annex you. If he takes the risk of attacking you, I can send troops from Jiangxi to attack his home base, and Gu Beifeng One person would never dare to challenge you and me at the same time. The question is, do you dare to believe me and take a gamble!"
"Why don't you dare, Yang Xiao, if you think highly of me, how about we become brothers and become brothers?"
Zhao Benling's chest was so loud.
(Wake up at five o'clock and finish coding this chapter, haha, see you tomorrow!)
