A map is placed within reach of Ling Changzhi.

The entire southern territory, including those territories that have not been occupied, are all included.

Ling Changzhi obviously felt that his breathing became heavy, like a trapped beast that was so excited that he wanted to climb over the wall to kill people.

He felt dry, his throat was dry, and he was thirsty.

He picked up the teacup and sipped it, which was completely inconsistent with the noble son's personality.

He wanted to reach for...

unexpectedly……

The map was taken away first.

He suddenly came to his senses, feeling ashamed and blamed himself for his annoyance. He was stunned by the map just now, and he actually lost his mind and basic judgment.

It shouldn't be!

He is no longer a young man in his twenties, and this situation should not have happened to him.

I can only say that the qi cultivation skills are not yet good.

He laughed at himself, "I lost a lot. Madam wants to laugh at me, just laugh at me! I still can't help but be confused by external things. It's a failure!"

Yan Yunge pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't blame yourself! The treasure that you can't get is right in front of you. As long as you are an individual, you will inevitably lose your position and show your greed. This is the reward I give to the emperor, which is very generous. So Lord Ling, what is your answer?"

Ling Changzhi wiped his face and calmed down in a blink of an eye.

"I can try to convince Your Majesty that he will give up Bo County and Dongyang County, and that his wife's men can enter at any time. But, what guarantee do you have? After you occupy these two counties, you will not bend troops south and threaten the Jianzhou court?"

"Is it a guarantee to pay taxes as much?"

"not enough!"

"Does this map count?"

"It's still not enough! You must have enough chips to convince the civil and military ministers of the court. You will never naively think that the emperor can be arbitrary. Such a big thing is related to the territory of the two counties, and even the emperor cannot make arbitrary claims. You should understand that if you want to convince the civil and military officials of the court, you must have sufficient reasons."

"I sent troops to attack, but local county soldiers are not opponents. Is it sufficient reason to throw away the territory of the two counties? Is it reasonable to have evidence of corruption among officials of two counties? Is it reasonable to have evidence of corruption?"

Ling Changzhi frowned slightly, "It's barely a reason. Then you need to hand over Bo County and Dongyang County to you through the court discussion in a legal and reasonable way through the official documents of the Political Affairs Hall.

In name, it is just a steward. In fact, everyone knows how it is.

Therefore, I hope that after you get the territory of the two counties, you can be a little at peace for a while. At least in negotiations with the court, you can do enough superficial efforts and give enough face to the court.

If the court officials in the court don’t love anything else, they love face. As long as you give them enough face, at least half of the trouble can be avoided.

You should learn this from Liu Zhang. Look at what Liu Zhang does and what he says, and the superficial skills are to the extreme. Even if he rebels, someone will say good things for him.

You can be deprived of face, but in the world, most people pursue nothing more than face when they live. Give them enough face and save trouble, why not do it?”

Yan Yunge accepted humbly, "Thank you, Lord Ling, for your advice, but I am willful. All the civil and military officials in the court seem to be all ordinary people! It's really boring to live just to fight for face."

"Even if it is boring, it is the meaning of others' existence in the world. You often say that everyone has their own aspirations, so why do you ask others to not care about face like you?"

"What I said is! I think face is not important, but I don't know that when people fight for one breath, they are fighting for face. Forget it, I will do enough superficial skills in the future and give enough face to the court. Then my business..."

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely do it for you. So, can I give it to me now?"

The map Ling Changzhi was thinking about was really uncontrollable.

Yan Yunge shook his head, "I can't give you the map for the time being. When Your Majesty promises me, I will send someone to hand the map to Your Majesty's hands."

Ling Changzhi frowned, "So, do you don't trust me?"

Yan Yunge smiled and said, "Mrs. I did this just to give us a safety valve to our cooperation and ensure that cooperation is not unexpected."

Ling Changzhi showed a sarcastic look on his face, "After all, you still don't trust me. You are worried that I will take the map but not fulfill your promise, and will even detain the map privately and not hand it over to Your Majesty. You are the kindness of a villain who judges a gentleman."

"Since Lord Ling is a gentleman, why should I care about my actions as a villain? Be open and honest, and complete our agreement, the map will come to your hands. However, in order to give you enough chips to convince Your Majesty, I have prepared a broken map for you. As long as you take it out, as long as you are a normal-minded emperor, you will be moved."

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid Abei took out a map and placed it on the table.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be a broken map, only a corner of the south.

However……

The exquisite paintings and precise locations are all in sight.

Although it is a broken map, it is enough to cause a competition.

Ling Changzhi was very moved.

He has worked hard all these years.

Restoring painters and cultivating geological prospectors, but they are still unable to achieve accurate maps.

The maps drawn always differ greatly from the actual situation.

After thinking about it, people still can’t do it.

Not everyone is sensitive to direction.

The reality is that most people are not sensitive to the direction and may not remember the path they have taken clearly.

Human memory is deceptive.

Even if you are not a ignorant, it does not mean that you can lift a stroke to draw a map.

The mountains, rivers and terrain in my mind are like this, but the map drawn is like that.

Not to mention that others can’t understand it, after a while, I’m afraid that even those who draw maps won’t understand what they are drawing.

Only Yan Yunge!

Only Yan Yunge!

Only the map she provided is precise location, with few deviations, and simple and easy to understand.

Talent!

"If Your Majesty asks who is drawing the map, what will Lord Ling answer?"

Yan Yunge's voice came into his ears, and Ling Changzhi suddenly woke up from the map.

He blinked his eyes and smiled, "Madam doesn't want to reveal her talent. Don't worry, I will keep the secret for you. I will only say that the map is provided by you. If anyone draws it, I can't find out any information."

"Thank you, Lord Ling! You are sincere, my wife will repay you. I don't know when I will set off for Jianzhou. I will practice it for you."

"The sooner the work is done, the better. In order to have a happy cooperation, the lady must keep her promise and not rush her troops to go south. You should know that people's hearts are in the court and in the Great Wei."

"Don't worry, sir, my eyes are in the north or not!"

"Okay! I believe you!"

...

Three days later, Ling Changzhi took a boat south and returned to Jianzhou.

He was in a state of excitement.

Even if the wind and waves blow, it cannot extinguish the high flames in his heart.

He doesn't believe in the incomplete map, but only trusts himself.

Even if it is just a broken map, it is priceless.

Yan Yunge, Yan Yunge, even the map was sent out, you can imagine how determined you are.

It's just a matter of openly claiming to rebel!

at the same time……

Xiao Yi led his troops north, and in just a short time, he occupied several counties in the north.

The captured territory was handed over to the county magistrate's office, and then the troops were rushed south to Bojun and Dongyang County.

Yan Yunge's action to grab territory has been officially launched.

It will be a matter of time before Ling Changzhi, a "traitor", mediated for her in the court and occupied the snatched territory openly.

The temptation of the map is great enough that no one will be moved.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen's face changed even more.

The map is Yan Yunge's sincerity, and it is actually showing force.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen's face turned pale, "If I give Bo County and Dongyang County to Yan Yunge, I will become a sinner of the Great Wei Dynasty! I will have no face to see my ancestors after my death."

Ling Changzhi made a sound, "Your Majesty, even if the court does not agree to hand over Dongyang County of Bojun to Yan Yunge, it cannot change the fait accompli.

She would conquer by force and would not pay the court a penny of taxes.

But she promised that as long as she crossed the road and allowed her to occupy the two counties openly and reasonably, she would not only provide the map of the southern land, but also call for taxes as much as possible. In this way, the court's taxes will be added, which will help us move south."

"How could I betray the land I have built up by my ancestors for a little tax or a map?"

"At least, those lands were under the jurisdiction of the Great Wei Dynasty."

"What is the use of the name alone? Once the two counties fell into Yan Yunge's hands, she had many methods. After a few years, the local people only knew Yan Yunge, but not the court. What is the difference between this and the lost northern land."

"At least there are taxes, and the trade population is free to pass."
