Bai Yutian always felt a touch of sadness in his heart. The dispatch of the two rebel armies was not the issue that worried him the most.
What Bai Yutian is really worried about is the forces behind the two major rebel groups, Tianjia and Fuzhou.
The strength of these two far exceeds the ordinary martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even the Hidden Sword Villa during Shen Jingshan's period is inferior.
Although they cannot compete with the real army, they are still a potential threat.
The Dragon Guard is still being cultivated, but it is impossible to become a force as powerful as Tianjia Fuzhou in one fell swoop.
Currently, in addition to Dian Wei and the other four, Dugu Sheng has also joined the Dragon Guard, giving the Dragon Guard a fifth powerful master.
But these five people are all innate masters. Although Shen Yusheng has divided the three realms of masters, it does not mean that these people can reach it quickly.
Bai Yutian has become increasingly strict with Tailin City's security because he is worried about incidents like last year's academy and palace rebellion happening.
Although Dazhou is strong, he can withstand several such struggles, and every time he is extremely dangerous.
Rubbing his brows, Bai Yutian returned to the Imperial Study Room to continue reviewing the memorials. Since he had not been in the palace in the past few days, the memorials were piling up again.
The next day, Bai Yutian went to look for Jie Yukang and prepare for Jie Yukang's return to Shanu Kingdom.
Jie Yukang originally planned to take Cui Shou away, but was rejected by Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian knew what Jie Yukang was thinking. In order to maintain the fragile but important relationship between Shanu and Da Zhou, Bai Yutian resisted killing Cui Shou and An Dun Maochang.
However, this does not mean that the two of them can leave Tailin City.
Although they are alive, it is equivalent to being sentenced to a suspended death sentence.
Bai Yutian's attitude was very tough, so Jie Yukang didn't dare to push too hard.
"Father!"
In the mansion where Jie Yukang lives, Jie Yunaring greets Jie Yukang.
Because he was about to leave Tailin City, Bai Yutian allowed Jie Yunaring and Jie Yukang to meet.
"Na Ling, you have worked hard these days."
Jie Yukang had already learned about what happened in Zhongsha City. He looked at Jie Yunaling in front of him, his eyes full of concern and love.
In front of Jie Yunaring, he is no longer the leader of the Shanu Kingdom, but a loving father.
"It's okay, father, I'm back in good condition, right?"
"By the way, father, there is something I need to discuss with you." Jie Yu Naling tangled his hands together, with a tangled look on his face.
"What's up?"
Jie Yunaring was silent for a moment and said, "It's about the Shanu Kingdom occupying the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom."
Territorial issues are major matters and require negotiation before they can be finalized.
However, Jie Yunaring has already promised Bai Yutian, and now he has to communicate with Jie Yukang.
"What!" Jie Yukang was shocked and couldn't help but stand up.
The Western Wasteland is basically no longer the real area of control of the Shanu Kingdom. Now the only territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom that the Shanu Kingdom can truly occupy is the three northern states.
The land there is fertile and the assets are rich, making it a rare treasure and the basis for the development of the Shanu Kingdom today.
During the previous wars, much of the food was transported to the front line from the three northern states.
Jie Yunaring lowered his head, looking very ashamed, "Father, I made my own decision and agreed to your majesty."
Jie Yunaring explained to Jie Yukang that in order to open the divine door, Jie Yunaring had to promise Bai Yutian to return part of the land in the three northern states to Dazhou.
"The Emperor of Zhou will definitely not miss this opportunity!" Jie Yukang sighed. Jie Yunaling was still too young and fell into Bai Yutian's scheme.
If Jie Yukang defaults on his debt now, he may be targeted by Bai Yutian.
Although he is still the leader of the Shanu Kingdom, he is still in Tailin City after all, and many things are controlled by Bai Yutian.
And Bai Yutian's attitude is very tough. I'm afraid Jie Yukang won't be able to threaten Bai Yutian with the Shanu Kingdom.
"Father, do we really have to form an alliance with the Great Zhou Kingdom?" Jie Yunaring tangled his hands together, looking very entangled.
To be fair, Jie Yunaring, as a woman, has never started a war with the Great Zhou Kingdom. She thinks that there is nothing wrong with forming an alliance with the Great Zhou Kingdom.
But after returning from Zhongsha City, she would always think of Mantu Hongchang's words, about the hundreds of years of grievances between the Shanu Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom, which cost too many lives.
Under such circumstances, how can the two countries be truly friendly?
Hearing these words, Jie Yukang was startled, looked left and right, and pulled Jie Yunaling inward for a distance.
"Na Ling, you just need to remember that between countries, interests always come first."
"As long as the interests are the same, even if two countries were at war yesterday and it was extremely tragic, they can shake hands and become friends the next day."
"The same goes for Shanu Kingdom and Great Zhou Kingdom, not only for Shanu Kingdom, but also for our Shadow Tribe."
Jie Yukang patted the palm of Jie Yunaring's hand and said with sincerity.
If it were just a portion of the land in the three northern states, as long as Bai Yutian didn't open his mouth like a lion, he could still have the final say.
However, how could Bai Yutian's ambition be small?
Soon, Bai Yutian arrived at Jie Yukang's mansion, and Jie Yukang hurriedly stood up to welcome him.
Bai Yutian first discussed with Jie Yukang various alliance matters between the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Shanu Kingdom, as well as the relationship between the two countries.
The Great Zhou Kingdom has now started a war with the rebels, and it will be difficult to take care of the south and north in a short time.
As Bai Yutian talked, he brought the topic to the three northern states.
These three states were originally the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and among them was the original capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Shangyuan City.
Jie Yukang naturally knew what Bai Yutian wanted to say, so he said: "Na Ling has already told this alliance leader about the matter. Shanu men value their promises. Your Majesty, feel free to speak."
In order to return to Shanu Kingdom, Jie Yukang also worked hard.
The Shadow Tribe's vitality was severely damaged in the last Western Wilderness War, so it was no better than the Rock Tribe. In addition, Jie Yukang had been away from the Shanu Kingdom for more than a year, so naturally there were many things he needed to do.
In fact, Bai Yutian caught Jie Yukang's heart and knew that he would not refute.
"Hahaha, I am happy to marry the leader, so I will make it clear."
"I only want the Ansai Plain area."
Hearing Bai Yutian's words, Jie Yukang's eyes immediately widened.
Whatever is called "as long as" is sufficient.
The Ansai Plain is one of the two most fertile plains in the three northern states. It has a suitable climate and is suitable for growing food and living.
Bai Yutian was about to walk across one of the plains at once, and it was like a lion's mouth opened wide.
Moreover, the Ansai Plain occupies one-fifth of the area of the three northern states, which is not a small area.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, it's not that this alliance leader is unwilling. In fact, it also involves the interests of the other two tribes, and it is not something that this alliance leader can decide on his own." Jie Yukang said pretending to be embarrassed.
If it was just a small piece of land, Jie Yukang could make the decision himself, but if it was related to the interests of Shanu Kingdom, how could Jie Yukang give it up?
