Chapter 149 Turbulence
Similarly, he was very much looking forward to the Black Flame Taoist Temple in his territory... because only in this way can the Tianlan Taoist Temple start a war. Only by killing the Black Flame Taoist Temple can his mental power be increased!
It has been almost a year, and my mental power has been increased by killing those black flame warriors before, and it has not been improved since then.
Zhao Hu, who was wandering in the territory for a while, shook his head helplessly, because the few small Taoist temples near Lingwu City were all clean Taoist temples, and they were also very reserved and arrogant Taoist temples, which meant that they only focused on immersing themselves in their lofty status and did not find that the world had changed.
Zhao Hu knew after a brief inquiry that these little Taoist temples did not curry favor with each other when the Ling family was awesome, and always looked arrogant. The annoyed Ling family warriors didn't look for these little Taoist temples when they were learning their power, and this is why these Taoist temples were always so small. It's no wonder that they ignored their new lords.
Since it is not the Black Flame Taoist Temple, Zhao Hu will put these small Taoist temples aside, and his Tianlan Taoist Temple will automatically cause trouble for them. Naturally, he will find an opportunity to swallow them to strengthen the Tianlan Taoist Temple.
Zhao Hu didn't need to consider these things, so Zhao Hu just mentioned to Gu Fang, and then this guy was busy with his eyes shining. Zhao Hu wanted to learn the power of the yellow level or above. There was no way to go in Tianlan Taoist Temple. Gu Fang Xiuying just had all the power of the white level.
So after thinking about it, Zhao Hu decided to go to Shanggang to learn the power of the yellow level, first improve his combat power to the yellow level, and then learn other white level powers if he has time.
Zhao Hu's irresponsible behavior of running around everywhere did not cause any situation in Zhao Jialing. All departments were doing their own work in an orderly manner.
Those merchants who were released not only received compensation, but also received orders. They were crazy about money and naturally brought the economic prosperity under Lingwu City to a higher level, and the crazy actions of these guys also attracted the followers of other merchants.
The wealthy Zhao family naturally did not fear that there were too many merchants, but they were afraid that there would be fewer merchants. A large amount of money and grain were used to exchange for various materials needed by countless territories. The entire brand new Lingwu City fell into a deformed prosperity.
In this busy life, all the warriors worked hard, especially those who were considered the first sequence, who worked even more desperately! Wang Yong, who was known as the number one warrior of the Zhao family, looked relaxed and calm and casual.
Wang Yong's knowledge and action are almost five hundred stones now, and he is the well-deserved first retainer of the Zhao family, so he naturally selected a few retainers from the original thieves' group of followers.
Since they were Wang Yong's retainers, they naturally enjoyed the treatment given by Wang Yong. Wang Yong also learned the generosity of Zhao Hu. All of his retainers were given the treatment of Shishi Zhixing.
Even if the retainers who were formal warriors and learned to do things would automatically think about their lords. So when they saw that their lord was leisurely drinking wine in the tavern while everyone in the Zhao family was working hard, they naturally couldn't help but persuade them.
Hearing the advice of his retainers, Wang Yong couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Do you know why those adults are doing their best to work?"
These thieves are not idiots, so they naturally would not say that they were working hard to make the Zhao family rise. They directly lowered their voices and said, "Lord, they are naturally for the position of the city lord of Linhe City!" This is also the reason why the retainers dare to advise. Those who are not as good as you are all working hard and trying their best to show their strength in front of the hall. With the position of the city lord of Linhe City, you are the number one samurai of the Zhao family, why don't you work hard for such a good opportunity?
"You guys, I am already the first minister of the Zhao family, and my knowledge and action are almost five hundred stones. Why should I pursue the position of lord of Linhe City? I am already at the peak of a minister and still pursuing a higher peak. That is to cause trouble for myself!
So I just did nothing and let the adults compete for the position of the city lord. No matter what, it was just a city lord. Maybe he looked very good now, but he might be trapped in this position in the future." Wang Yong said distractedly.
"Ah? The lord is wise!" Everyone said that these thieves and retainers were not fools, so they quickly realized that they all respected their lords and respected them.
Wang Yong took a sip of wine with a smile, fighting for the hardships. A group of idiots, the lord did not express his opinion. He was just staring at the position of the lord of Linhe City. He didn't think about the lord who was planning to attack Donghai County. How could this Linhe City be handed over at this time? Maybe these guys are fighting for nothing!
Anyway, I don’t need to pay attention to so much, just follow my lord, just follow the orders, and always be loyal. With the growth of the Zhao family, my Wang Yong family will naturally become the existence of the Lord of Wanshi! This is much safer and safer than intrigue and anything else.
The Zhao family began to stabilize and began to plow spring plowing in the newly occupied Lingwu City and its jurisdiction. The original Tianlan Township of the Zhao family naturally entered the state of spring plowing earlier.
Although Zhao Hu exchanged and transferred all the leaders of the two places, many of the leaders of Lingwu City were not farmers, but craftsmen, gig dealers, porters and other staff members of the city and the port. These people were not replaced by farmers. So in the end, these people still went to the original place to start living and working, and the city and the port naturally began to revive prosperity.
Zhao Hu's side was stable, but the surrounding forces began to become turbulent at this time.
The news that Zhao Hu attacked Lingwu City and killed the head of the Ling family and a number of important officials of the Ling family, and looted Lingwu City, the city town and the port were naturally hidden for too long. Even if the spies were killed by the killers at the beginning, Zhao Hu's killer had not yet become awesome, and some spies must have escaped.
Moreover, after Zhao Hu re-occupied Lingwu City, the construction of the city town and port began, and a large number of arrested people were placed, and a large number of materials were purchased. Whether merchants purchased or shipped goods, they would naturally promote what happened in Lingwu City.
But it was too late for those who got the news from these merchants. The first one to get the news was the other four major families of Dongsheng Kingdom, such as the Qiao family. The spies they sent were all lucky to escape and chase back. This is their capital as one of the five major forces of Dongsheng Kingdom, and naturally they were the first forces to get the news.
The four major families were shocked what happened to the Ling family! They wanted to kill a small family, but they didn't expect to be killed by the small family! And they did it very thoroughly. Not only was the number one samurai like Tian Kuo, who was killed. Lingwu City, the strongest defense, was also taken down overnight. The head of the Ling family was killed, and a number of important officials were killed. They also left behind a few concubines and a cowardly deposed retainers.
The four major families naturally have a think tank, and their important officials and heads of the family are also brains. After some calculations, they immediately understood that it was impossible to attack the Zhao family who was following the crime in the name of revenge for the Ling family.
The Zhao family, who didn't know how to jump out, could destroy a thousand standing troops led by powerful warriors like Tian Kuo overnight. Then, he took advantage of the situation to capture Lingwu City overnight and killed all the capable heads, legitimate sons, and important officials of the Ling family.
Then the Zhao family might destroy their siege troops sent out in a hurry, avenge a revenge for a guy who was originally an enemy, and instead provoke a stronger enemy? Idiots wouldn't do such a thing, right?
I was sure that I could not provoke this morale and was also very lucky, and I didn’t know the root of the Zhao family, the leaders of the four major families, had a very natural idea in my mind, that was to take his life while he was sick!
All the shrewd people of the Ling family were killed by the Zhao family, the elite troops were captured by the Zhao family, the most tenacious castle was occupied by the Zhao family, and the most valuable territory also fell into the hands of the Zhao family.
It can be said that after losing Lingwu City, the city town, and the port, the Ling family's remaining territory is still very vast, but it is nothing! It can be confirmed that as long as the Zhao family digests the stomach that is a bit overcrowded, they will definitely be able to swallow all the Ling family's territory in one breath!
If the Zhao family swallowed the Ling family, wouldn’t it be that there would be an old enemy missing, but a stronger new enemy would rise up? How could such a thing happen to him? So the leaders of these four major families ordered their most powerful generals to lead the most powerful warriors and directly attack the old leader of the Ling family without saying a word.
Now in the spring plowing period, we naturally cannot draw peasant soldiers. But the Ling family has almost been abandoned by the Zhao family, and we only need to dispatch the standing army. Moreover, this action must be fast and it must be swallowed up quickly as soon as possible.
Of course, these four major families all issued strict orders to the retainers who were ready to lead their troops to fight. They must not kill the Ling family's dead and pure concubines, and they cannot occupy all the land of the Ling family. They must leave a piece of territory for the concubines near the direct jurisdiction of Lingwu City, so that these concubines can be regarded as a barrier between their own family and the Zhao family.
As long as this barrier appears, the Zhao family wants to swallow these few of their dead pure seeds, and they can easily support and support them, so that these few dead pure seeds can block the Zhao family's offensive.
