Chapter 2153: The Return of Blade Harbor
Cang Yan reached an agreement with Yaguo in private, cut off the firewood and ran away, trapping Mouguo in the quagmire of the war with Yaguo, and turned around to seize Bailie. Isn't this stealing Mouguo's home?
Why was Mou Guo not only not angry, but also signed an agreement with Cang Yan?
How could the Mou Kingdom tolerate this? Is this still the prosperous and powerful country they imagined?
How did Cang Yan do it?
The most crucial issue is that Mou State has shown this attitude, what should Qing State do? What should he do!
Just as the Qing Kingdom was in panic, the Dragon God Army suddenly turned west, abandoned Blade Harbor and rushed into the territory of the Qing Kingdom!
According to scouts at the front, the flags of the more than 100,000-strong army covered the sky, and wherever their armor and steel streams passed, even the original color of the ground could not be seen.
In less than an hour, three border outposts and military cities were captured!
Prince Qing was so frightened that he immediately sent a letter asking for peace and the return of Blade Harbor!
What will Emperor Jiuyou do?
Should we continue the advance, or just take back Blade Harbor?
When Emperor Mou summoned You Huan, You Huan gave the latter inference.
"Emperor Jiuyou had very good reasons to take back Bailie and Blade Harbor, but not Qing." This was his judgment. "Besides, Cangyan's territory is already vast enough. Qing is just a small place, which is useless to it. If it is taken over, it will cause more friction with our country. The gain is not worth the loss."
"After doing these two outrageous things, Cangyan will not continue to challenge the dignity and magnanimity of Mou. At the same time, it also wants to show all the surrounding countries that it is not extremely greedy. So I think it is very likely that it will stop while it is ahead."
You Huan's words were confirmed half a day later:
Emperor Jiuyou agreed to Qing Kingdom's request.
After Cang Yan and Qing Kingdom completed the handover at Blade Harbor, the Dragon God Army withdrew from Qing Kingdom without any hesitation or reluctance.
It was just as quick and efficient as the withdrawal from Ya State.
And Cang Yan immediately announced to the world that Blade Port's status as a free port remained unchanged, taxes had not been raised, and it was still open to do business with all forces.
In general, except for the change in its ownership, everything else remains unchanged.
The merchants and residents in Blade Harbor did not feel any changes in their daily lives except for seeing the Dragon God Army move in.
This is because, although the original management team of Blade Harbor has undergone a major change, the most critical person has been retained:
Wu Tiju.
He has worked locally for more than ten years and has a special understanding of Blade Harbour. He has solid business skills and good management methods.
Of course, the most important thing is that when Prince Qing received Cang Yan’s ultimatum, Wu Tiju himself immediately ran to the Dragon God Army camp and surrendered directly to Emperor Jiuyou!
He and Emperor Jiuyou are old acquaintances. Now, using this relationship, his entire family voluntarily joins the Cangyan Kingdom and becomes a glorious Cangyan person.
Wu Tiju saw things clearly. He knew that if he lost the position of Tiju of Daofeng Harbor, he would not be able to get any good opportunities when he returned to Qing Kingdom in the future. On the contrary, Cangyan Kingdom was like the rising sun, with unlimited prospects.
People always strive for higher goals. For a small person like him, choice is far more important than hard work.
It's better to follow Emperor Jiuyou and ride on Cang Yan's national fortune than to go back to Qing Kingdom and live a deteriorating life, right?
He Lingchuan did need an experienced person to ensure that Blade Port could run smoothly during the handover period, and at the same time, he must know how to deal with various emergencies. Therefore, he specially appointed Wu Tiju to take up his original position.
He knew very well that no matter whether it was the Mou Kingdom or the Qing Kingdom, as long as they were unwilling to give in, they might block the trade of Blade Harbor openly or secretly. Wu Tiju was an old hand, he knew everything about this, and was familiar with the officialdom of both sides, which was much better than the newly appointed officials.
Although Wu Tijiu's official position remained unchanged, his status had risen several levels invisibly, from an official of the Qing State to a port manager of Cangyan.
At this point, Blade Harbor finally returned to Bailie after being forcibly leased for fifty years, and Emperor Jiuyou became the undisputed winner of the overall situation.
Compared to the calm handover at Blade Harbor, a major event like a thunderbolt in the deep sea happened in Mouguo:
Guo Shaoping resigned as Chief Assistant and returned to the Futaige to continue his post; Emperor Mou personally appointed Futaige Palace Scholar You Huan as the new Chief Assistant of Damu, effective immediately!
Overnight, You Huan climbed to the pinnacle of power in Mou State, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
This time, the selection of the chief assistant once again demonstrated the supreme authority of Emperor Mou.
After the inauguration ceremony, countless colleagues came to congratulate him.
You Huan fulfilled his previous promise and booked a venue in Sutao Qingxi for seven days and seven nights, inviting everyone to have tea and watch a play, and celebrating with great fanfare.
For three consecutive days, he slept at Qingxi in Sutao and did not return home.
When you fall asleep, there is an intoxicating fragrance floating in the air. When you wake up, there is a beautiful woman in front of you.
During the day, everyone saw that his face was rosy and his spirits were high.
There is nothing more satisfying than this.
……
After the agreement between Cangyan and Mou State was signed, Mou State quickly withdrew 30,000 troops from the Bailie border and directly participated in the war with Ya State in the south.
It was fighting on two fronts, and its military strength was already tight. Being able to reach an agreement with Cang Yan, the government and the people of Mou State actually breathed a sigh of relief.
The Dragon God Army also withdrew from Bailie back to Cangyan. Bailie, as the ancestral home of Emperor Jiuyou, exchanged half of its troops with the Dragon God Army.
Only a very small number of troops were left to garrison the borders between Mou State and Cangyan, and between Ya State and Cangyan, and they were also responsible for maintaining border trade security.
Soul Mirror felt it was a pity: "Why are the agreements reached with Ya and Mou so lenient? Wouldn't it be better to rip them off?"
Neither of these two agreements gained much advantage, and it was not quite in line with the owner's status as a winner.
He Lingchuan laughed and scolded: "Do you think I am as short-sighted as King Ya?"
"what?"
"Ya State has no shortage of elite soldiers and generals, but it suffers because King Ya does not know how to behave. Why do you think Mou State sent troops this time? In addition to my good bait, Mou State also hates Ya State very much." He Lingchuan did not forget to brag about himself, "Ya State has been playing two-faced for many years, jumping around behind Mou State repeatedly, so Mou State made up its mind to teach it a bloody lesson."
"Think about it carefully. Cang Yan's strong rise is just a superficial phenomenon. Beijia has the Heavenly Demon and the Great Immortal behind him, and Mouguo has the Holy Mountain and the True Immortal behind him. What do we have behind us?"
"Uh..." There is indeed no ultimate power of the deterrent level.
The Soul-Capture Mirror had witnessed the abilities of the Great Demon and the True Immortal in the Upside-Down Sea.
"If we push the Mou Kingdom to the point of being unable to bear it and it sends out the True Immortals at all costs, then..." He Lingchuan didn't say anything else, but just shrugged.
The anger of an ordinary man can cause blood to flow for five steps, but what about the anger of a true immortal?
"Besides, the economic and military strength of the Mou Kingdom is stronger than ours, there is no doubt about that." However, He Lingchuan was not pessimistic. "Having said that, as long as we gain enough space for rapid development, these problems will eventually be solved."
The changes between heaven and earth always take place in a subtle and silent manner.
As long as he and Cang Yanguo take firm steps forward, there will always be a chance.
