Different people, different methods.

Perhaps because he had the support of the King of Nanman, Yuwen Tuo used his wisdom and strategy to cleverly avoid the eyes and ears of the Bi family after arriving at his fiefdom. He selected a group of loyal and capable people and secretly formed an elite army.

Then Yuwen Tuo quickly captured some important strongholds of the Bi family and weakened the power of the Bi family.

It must be said that the current King of Nanman is very attentive to his grandson Yuwen Tuo. He has equipped him with excellent talents, and the army he led has shown strong combat effectiveness and courage in battle.

How could a jade bottle collide with rubble?

The Bi family felt unprecedented pressure. After all, Yuwen Tuo, an ambitious outsider, could ignore the war, but the Bi family could not watch the people of Qianzhong Road being innocently dragged into the war.

Fearing the consequences of their actions, the Bi family had no choice but to retreat step by step and had to switch from open to covert, first retaining their strength and observing Yuwen Tuo's ultimate goal.

Of course, it was precisely because of Yuwen Tuo's reckless behavior that the people of Qianzhong Road disliked him, and it was natural for the Bi family to take over.

However, Yuwen Yong is indeed an heir brought up by a scholarly family.

Lingnan Road has always been the territory of the Hao family, but now it is firmly "held" in the hands of Yuwen Yong.

When Yuwen Yong came to his fief, he brought with him a large group of wise men, including many top strategists, and of course, more talented but poor students that the Sima family had recruited over the years.

Yuwen Yong and his group of wise men took advantage of the complexity and diversity of Lingnan Road and carefully planned and implemented a series of ingenious strategies to consolidate their rule.

Of course, the Sima family’s influence in the court was the most useful bargaining chip in Yuwen Yong’s hand.

Through bribery, threats and inducement, Yuwen Yong successfully brought some key officials and aristocratic families of Lingnan Province into his own camp, thus ensuring effective control over Lingnan Province.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?

In view of the Nanman kings who had guarded the southern border for generations and defended against Nanzhao and sea pirates, Yuwen Yong and his Zhirang Group paid great attention to the construction of military strength. He personally led the elite troops and carried out strict military control over Lingnan Road with Minzhou as the core.

His army was well-trained and powerful, so the people of Minzhou did not dare to resist easily. In any case, his one acre and three points of land were still defended like a copper wall.

Before Yuwen Tuo took action to unify the country, the King of Nanman would not easily take action against Yuwen Yong.

Of course, Yuwen Yong, who was carefully cultivated by the Sima family with all the resources since childhood, did have some ability in local governance.

Upper decision decided by the economic background.

After Yuwen Yong gained a firm foothold, he paid great attention to economic development. He reduced taxes, encouraged trade, and actively promoted the prosperity of agriculture, handicrafts, and commerce in Lingnan Province, which led to the rapid economic development of Lingnan Province and improved the living standards of the people.

The common people are simple and honest. As long as they have food to eat, not necessarily enough to eat, and clothes to wear, and don't freeze to death, the common people will honestly farm, pay taxes, and perform corvee labor...

Therefore, Yuwen Yong's series of measures gained a good reputation among the people.

In this way, it would be difficult for Su Xiaoya, Yu Shuheng and others to start directly.

Having a legitimate reason to be a teacher is not just talk.

Water can carry a boat but can also capsize it, so the public opinion still needs to be considered.

However, keeping Yuwen Yong is not a good idea. After all, the world belonged to the Yuwen family before. If Yuwen Yong is kept, it will be a legitimate flag of the Yuwen family. Those with ulterior motives will gather under Yuwen Yong's name to fight back.

Alas! The Hao family was too careless after all. The current situation is quite a dilemma.

Especially since Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng were monks, it was impossible for them to directly overthrow a regime that had the support of the people. It was not worth it to bear such a cause and effect.

Now, it seems that the only way out is peaceful liberation.

However, there is no rush.

After Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng discussed it, they decided to proceed in two steps.

After all, Yu Shuheng is a military enthusiast!

The two discussed it and decided that the battle plan of surrounding the city from the countryside was a very good one. Now, they could also surround the city without attacking and engage in psychological warfare with Yuwen Yong.

Anyway, now only Lingnan Road and the capital are still in the hands of the Yuwen family.

If Yuwen Yong does not know how to deal with the current situation, then we should just take over Kyoto first.

Today's Kyoto is like a powder keg that can explode at any time.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that they could take over Kyoto first. By then, it might not be impossible for Yuwen Yong to surrender without a fight.

This is another kind of "soft persimmon squeeze"!

Of course, since we are going to encircle Lingnan Road but not attack it, we cannot leave any loopholes.

The King of the Nanman who is entrenched in the coastal areas of Lingnan Road has been guarding the Nanman for generations, and his hands are stained with a lot of killings. We can just kill the King of the Nanman first.

Anyway, Yuwen Tuo has been destroyed, and the Nanman King's faction has been in a life-and-death situation with the Imperial Preceptor's Palace and the ten great families.

Therefore, Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya would never keep the King of Nanman and let him form an alliance with Yuwen Yong.

If the King of Nanman formed an alliance with Yuwen Yong, not only would it fail to achieve encirclement, but it would also give Yuwen Yong and the King of Nanman the opportunity to open up overseas settlements.

If this is true, there will be endless troubles.

It may not pose a huge threat to their future governance, but it will definitely be a huge hidden danger. For example, the occasional harassment from the sea will make the fishermen in the coastal fishing villages miserable.

Therefore, Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng decided to take immediate action to kill the unprepared King of the Southern Barbarians.

Seriously speaking, the Nanman King has always been the overlord on the border. He has powerful forces and resources and controls a large area of ​​coastal territory.

The Hao family, which has been established in Lingnan Road for a thousand years, has always maintained a delicate balance with the King of the Southern Barbarians. The two sides do not interfere with each other and enjoy mutual benefit.

However, as time went on and several princes arrived at their fiefdoms, the situation changed.

The three forces of the Nanman King, Yuwen Yong, and the Hao family were all drawn into this vortex of power, either actively or passively.

They each possessed strong strength, and none was inferior to the other. Each side was secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to come.

In this tense and fierce environment, the Nanman King showed his majesty and determination as a local overlord. He constantly deployed troops, trained diligently, and went all out to prepare for the upcoming challenges.

Yuwen Yong was not willing to lag behind. With his outstanding wisdom and strategy, he carefully planned every move. He knew that this power struggle required patience and strategy, and he could not relax at all.

Although the Hao family is relatively low-key, its strength should not be underestimated. They quietly accumulate strength and wait for the best opportunity. After all, the Hao family has survived in Lingnan Road for a thousand years, and many of their hidden lines and back-up plans are beyond the imagination of Yuwen Yong and the King of Nanman.

It can only be said that the battlefield was chosen in the Hao family's home turf, which made the Hao family cautious and restrained, and thus they were controlled by Yuwen Yong and the King of Nanman.

After all, this is the foundation of the Hao family.

As the saying goes, we were one family five hundred years ago.

The Hao family has been based in Lingnan Dao for thousands of years, and has long been deeply intertwined with Lingnan Dao. It is no exaggeration to say that among five Lingnan people, at least one person can trace his ancestor back to the Hao family for many generations.

Therefore, the Hao family cannot ignore the safety of their family members and clansmen.

However, the King of Nanman and Yuwen Yong had no such concerns. They could give it their all and display their strength to the fullest.

In addition, the Hao family also needs to face external pressure, such as the coveting and threats of other large and small families. In this case, they must carefully handle the relationship with Yuwen Yong and the King of Nanman, so as not to cause greater trouble.

Therefore, although the Hao family possessed strong strength, they were in a passive and disadvantaged position in this war and could only make preparations early and send all of their direct descendants away.

The three parties all know clearly in their hearts that in this cruel competition, only by completely eliminating the other side can they truly eliminate the potential threat and ensure their own safety and interests.

Therefore, they will never let go of anyone or anything that may pose a threat to each other.

Of course, in front of Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya, the King of the Southern Barbarians is really nothing.

Hai Kuo, Eunuch Hai and the Bi family just need to join forces to take action.

Sure enough, the people who know you best are often not your friends, relatives or partners, but your enemies.

Hai Kuo, Eunuch Hai and the Hao family took action at the same time, and the King of the Southern Barbarians became yesterday's news.

The coastline occupied by the Southern Barbarian King was successfully taken over by the Hao family.

Take the enemy's path and leave the enemy with nowhere to go.

Therefore, Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng simply cleared a few more islands near the coast and handed them over to the Hao family, supporting the Hao family in firmly controlling the South China Sea.

This victory not only means a change in the ownership of the South China Sea, but also marks the beginning of a new era.

Of course, Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya were going to take over the navy left by the Nanman King. Le Zheng and Xibei were also sent to the South China Sea by the Su family members in a flying boat to help the Hao family build large sea ships and strengthen the navy's combat effectiveness.

The Nanlin Kingdom was officially established.

The National Master Hall of Nanlin Kingdom was built on Dongshan Island, an island facing east of the South China Sea.

This island is not far from the land of Nanlin Country, and it takes about half an hour to get there by boat. Of course, it only takes a moment to get there by flying boat.

Dongshan Island is like a bright pearl inlaid in the sea. The island has a beautiful environment, mild climate and spring-like weather all year round. There is no hustle and bustle of the world here, only tranquility and beauty.

In spring, the flowers on the island are in full bloom, and the colorful petals spread out on the ground like brocade, emitting bursts of fragrance. Birds sing happily, and butterflies and bees dance gracefully, as if welcoming the arrival of spring.

In summer, the sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness, making people feel extremely comfortable.

In autumn, golden leaves fall down, covering the earth with a golden carpet, just like a fairy tale world.

In winter, although the weather is cold and the foot of Dongshan Island is covered with white silver, the island is still full of vitality. Birds look for food in the snow, leaving a series of footprints, as if writing beautiful poems on the snow.

The most amazing thing is that no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, the part from the middle of the mountain to the top of Dongshan Island is always shaded by green trees, embroidered with flowers, and surrounded by clouds and mist...

Here, breathing the fresh air and feeling the beauty of nature, it feels like being in a paradise. People can enjoy the gift of nature, relax their body and mind, and forget all their worries.

Of course, the 99,999 white jade steps leading to the National Master Hall, the highest peak of Dongshan Island, are indispensable.

The majestic National Master's Hall on the top of the mountain, surrounded by winding streams, is still the most perfect replica.

Anyway, I don’t know how the system works. The eight tool men at the twelfth level of Qi Refining are still taking the opportunity to screen those who meet the requirements.

This time, not only Hao family patriarch Hao Jing'an and Hao family's four supreme elders Hao Yuenan, Hao Yutao, Hao Yuxi, Hao Yuchu and two elders Hao Jingxi and Hao Jinghan broke through the first stage of Qi Refining Period, but even Le Zhengxibe and others who were urgently transferred by Su Xiaoya for assistance also broke through the first stage of Qi Refining Period.

From now on, Dongshan Island is the territory of the National Master's Hall. It is the most mysterious, sacred and important place in Nanlin Kingdom, without a doubt.

Of course, this time when developing Dongshan Island, Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng also received extra gifts - a tiger-chopping knife and a dragon-slaying sword.

When they first found Dongshan Island, it was surrounded by fog. If it weren't for Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng's super strong mental power and the practice of Qi-gazing, Dongshan Island would definitely have been overlooked by everyone.

But there are no ifs in this world.

Therefore, Dongshan Island is destined to see the light of day.

For safety reasons, Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng did not bring anyone else to the island.

As the "second best expert" besides Yu Shuheng, who is the ceiling of combat power, Bai Yiyi was left behind to take care of the Hao family members and Hai Kuo and Eunuch Hai.

As soon as Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng entered the circle of white fog, they discovered something was not simple. This mist not only covered Dongshan Island, but was actually an illusion.

Although the level of this illusion is not high, Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng still decided to test it out first to find out what the other party is trying to do.

The mist gradually dissipated.

What appears before our eyes is a Miao village, quietly nestled in the mountains.

The gate is tall and solemn, carved from a huge stone, and is covered with traditional patterns and symbols of the Miao people. Above the gate is a small drum tower, with its spire soaring into the sky, as if telling the history of the Miao village to the sky.

Walking into the village gate, you will see a wide stone road with rows of stilt houses on both sides. The stilt houses are built on the mountain, layer upon layer, and are staggered. The main body of the stilt houses is built of wood and bamboo, the roof is covered with green tiles, and the walls are decorated with Miao embroidery and silver ornaments, showing the unique cultural characteristics of the Miao people.

The ground floor of every household's stilt house is elevated, used to store sundries and raise poultry. The elevated floor is not very high, about 2.2 meters high.

The second floor is where people live. The rooms are spacious and bright, and the floors and walls are all made of wood or bamboo. The windows are hung with the Miao ethnic group's unique printed and dyed curtains, giving people a very warm feeling.

The third floor is where food and farm tools are stored, and where the Miao people hang their clothes to dry. Usually half of it has a wall and a roof, and the other half is an open terrace.

The center of the Miao village is a square with a huge bronze drum on it, which is engraved with the history and culture of the Miao people. Whenever a festival comes, the Miao people will dance happily in the square to celebrate the harvest and happiness.
