Chapter 2054: Far-reaching Plan
"If I don't come, you can't keep it."
Fu Shanyue: “…”
Does the old man look down on him so much?
"Just the guy surnamed Lu is enough to give you a hard time. Don't you see how many people are standing behind the kid from the Lu family? They are all powerful men from the Mou Kingdom, and they were originally used to deal with the Yin Kui King. Do you think they are enough to beat you?"
The Mou people came prepared, but they did not expect that the King of Chiyan would show up with many masters from the country, so the prepared backup plan seemed a little weak. If we do not consider the power comparison between the enemy and us, it is hard to say whether the Mou people would want to give it a try.
Fu Shanyue was also curious: "Did you inflict the wound on Lu Dongxian's face? Why hasn't it healed yet?"
"During that period, he seemed to be practicing something called 'Arrow Heart Technique'. After being injured by me, the poison must have seeped into his body and could never be removed." Lao Ba stroked his chin, very satisfied with his work.
Even with their level of cultivation, not all injuries can be healed. Doesn't Fu Shanlie himself have an old injury?
He coughed a few more times, his face looking a little gray. The wind blew through his open shirt, and Fu Shanyue saw strands of black marks on his skin, very thin, like spider webs or blood vessels, which had spread to above his collarbone.
Fu Shanlie sighed: "When He Xiao took over the Yangshan Islands, this place was insignificant; when he went to the Shining Gold Plain to do business, this place became a golden goose that lays eggs, but with the size of the Mou Kingdom, it still looked down on it; but when He Xiao became the 'Nine Nether Emperor', the situation in the Shining Gold Plain was already established, and the Yangshan Islands suddenly became very important!"
Fu Shanyue seemed to be thinking about something.
"No matter how the Golden Plains develops in the future, the Yangshan Islands will be the most important channel connecting He Xiao with the West!"
The area west of the Golden Plains is the sphere of influence of the Mou Kingdom. If one wants to bypass the Mou Kingdom and communicate and do business with the western countries, the best way is the Yangshan Islands.
"Why did the State of Mou send Lu Qinglin to seize Yangshan? As long as they seize this archipelago, the State of Mou will have a firm grip on Shanjin's lifeline!" Fu Shanlie chuckled. "If the State of Mou does not agree, Shanjin's products will be difficult to transport to the west, and they will have to trade with the State of Mou. At that time, who do you think will be more powerful?"
Fu Shanyue understood: "The Mou Kingdom is also very afraid of He Xiao."
"No one likes a rising neighbor, even if they are both under the Lingshan Mountain." Fu Shanlie said, "He Xiao is also very clear about this, so he is preparing for a rainy day. I see, this man has a long-term plan, he has been planning this matter since you went to Yangshan for refuge."
Fu Shanyue was surprised: "It's really early."
When He Lingchuan returned to Yangshan Islands last time, he specifically went to have a drink with him and talked about this matter.
At that time, He Lingchuan had just excavated the Ghost King's underground palace and had just established relations with the Allied Forces. He had not yet started to use the name of the Nine Nether Emperor to bluff people.
Then He Lingchuan said to him, Brother, do me a favor.
Fu Shanyue naturally agreed with a pat on his chest. After all, he was living on someone else's land and eating and using his food and using his things.
Unexpectedly, He Lingchuan told him that one day in the future, the Yangshan Islands might be coveted by others, and he might not be able to protect it.
If this is true, He Lingchuan hopes Fu Shanyue can take over.
Fu Shanyue was incredulous: "Such a good place, you just give it to me as you say? Aren't you afraid that I will really swallow it up and not give it back to you?"
"It's better to give it to brothers than to others. Good things should be kept within the family." These are He Lingchuan's original words.
The Yangshan Islands were just a tiny piece of land that he had bought for tens of thousands of taels of silver. It was only because of He Lingchuan's strength that it had any status. In He Lingchuan's mind, how could its importance be compared with the Shining Gold Plain?
There is gain and loss, and he has already figured this out.
Fu Shanyue was so moved at the time that he immediately wrote a letter to his old father:
Old man, I'm not going back.
"I'm afraid he already knew that he could only protect one of Shan Jin and Yang Shan." Fu Shanlie smiled, "You wrote to me, asking for both soldiers and people, and I knew I had to come."
Over the past year or so, Chiyan State has been transporting troops to Yangshan under the guise of caravans, in small numbers and multiple times. Yangshan Islands is located on the golden waterway, with a large passenger flow and countless commercial goods. The thousands or tens of thousands of Chiyan troops are not noticeable at all.
After they arrived in Yangshan, they were assigned to the deep part of the archipelago and did not interact with outsiders, which greatly reduced the risk of exposure.
Just as He Xiao expected, the soldiers were maintained for hundreds of days and used in just one moment.
Fu Shanlie's arrival was an accident. He was leading troops to fight on the eastern front of Beiga. When he heard that the situation in Shanjin had changed suddenly, he rushed over to take a look.
"He really treats you well. He knows you have nowhere else to go, so he left you this blessed place."
Fu Shanyue's face fell: "Who has nowhere to go?!"
But he was indeed touched.
In fact, the Yangshan Islands were originally a place where He Lingchuan built for himself, Dong Rui and Aunt Zhu to live, but after he set a bigger goal, he left this place specifically for Fu Shanyue as his place to settle down.
If He Lingchuan is good to someone, that is the best thing he can do for him.
"Yangshan is a place that must be fought for by military strategists. It is also very important to Chiyan." Fu Shanlie said in a deep voice, "Among the thirteen demon kingdoms, Chiyan has never stood out. In terms of history, it is not as good as the Baoshu Kingdom, in terms of financial resources, it is not as good as the Baixiang Kingdom, and in terms of combat power, it is not as good as the Shanjun Kingdom. The reason is that the geographical conditions are not good. The advantages of mountains, seas, lakes and rivers have long been taken away by other demon kingdoms."
Chiyan is a latecomer, and the good locations have already been divided up by other predecessors, so it can only get some marginal and poor land.
Without the advantages of mountains and rivers, its development lagged behind other vassal states.
"The tasks assigned by Beijia are becoming heavier day by day." Fu Shanlie snorted, "People like the old tree and the white elephant can find ways to shirk their responsibilities, but Chiyan has too short a history and low status, so it always suffers the most. Therefore, Chiyan needs new blood and new income!"
Fu Shanyue nodded.
The Yangshan Islands are located on the golden waterway and have an excellent location. As long as they are managed in an orderly manner, they will lay golden eggs continuously.
The most important thing is that only Chiyan can defend this place, and other vassal demon countries of Beijia have no right to covet it!
We were almost at the port. All the evil spirits here were absorbed by the Dragon Pillar, and the outline of the island was very clear. Fu Shanlie took a deep breath of the crisp sea breeze and continued, "The geography of the Yangshan Islands is very important. Just like what Qi Buwei said just now, Chiyan took over Yangshan, which means he reached out to the back of the Mou Kingdom one step ahead of time."
"Bejia has worked hard for many years but has not been able to achieve this. We have done it. If Bejia wants to exert its strength here in the future, it will have to go through Chiyan. We will also be able to gain more say in Lingxu City."
"Also, Chiyan's ability to secure the Yangshan Islands should have greater strategic significance in the eyes of the Emperor, and you have become important as well! You have taken this place very well, especially well!"
