Elf Sandstorm Lord

one year later,

Qinchuan County, Weihu City.

This lord's mansion, which has been ruled by Viscount Chen Qing for generations and is the only city in Qinchuan County with a population of over 10,000, seems extremely depressing.

"Is there really no chance at all?"

At this moment, Viscount Chen Qing actually looked helpless, as if he had aged ten years.

At this time, an important minister next to him said: "Well, Sir Viscount, now the entire Guanzhong Plain has basically been digested by the Duke of Qin.

In addition, during this period, his development of Liangzhou Province has not stopped.

Now, his territory is a behemoth with a population of nearly one million and tens of thousands of armed forces.

That is to say, this year he has focused his main energy on the Guanzhong Plain, so that we can get this respite.

Otherwise, the Viscount's territory may have been lost long ago... Well, now that it's over, he is determined to unify Qinchuan.

Our territory, or the entire Qinchuan County, except for Weihu City, was basically captured by Qin Guogong without any pressure.

In this situation, no matter what we do, it will be useless! It’s better to…”

"It's better than nothing!" Viscount Chen Qing said gloomily: "Li Yun, you are an old man in our territory, and our family treats you well, but now you want to ask me to surrender and hand over a century-old foundation to others!"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man named Li Yun felt ashamed and said:

"Your Majesty, the Viscount, is aware that if there is even a glimmer of hope, I will fight to the death to accompany you to make a comeback.

But at this time, Qin Guogong was ready to succeed! If we continue to fight, it will be like mantis trying to trick the enemy!
Moreover, now there is no force in the entire northwest that can check and balance him!
Annexing the Northwest Province, or even the entire northwest of Donghuang, is only a matter of time, even if it goes further in the future, it is not impossible!

Now, if he had only wanted to attack the city regardless of the casualties of the people in the city, we would have fallen long ago.

Now, only by voluntarily surrendering can we save the lives of the people in this city and negotiate a good treatment condition for the Viscount. "

"Okay~, you, Lao Li, have indeed turned to the wind and turned traitor!
Let me tell you, even if the worst I can do is burn this city down, I won’t make it easier for outsiders.

Come on, capture this traitor! "

After saying this, everyone present did not move. Instead, after a while they looked at each other and said:

"Sir Viscount, what Mr. Li said makes sense. The unification of the northwest is the general trend. Why should the lord go against the will?"

"Yes, surrendering now will not only protect the lives of the people in this city, but also obtain good conditions for your lord. Viscount, think twice!"

"........."

Viscount Chen Qing glanced around in disbelief. All the important people in the territory were completely on the side of surrender. When he saw that everyone was trying to persuade him to surrender, Chen Qing's feet weakened and he sat down!
"Okay, okay~~, it's really like a landslide."

The next day,

On the city wall of Chang'an City, Su Yan walked past the mottled stone brick walls and looked at the endless prosperity in the city, and couldn't help but let out a sigh. Not long ago, he walked in here as a newly promoted viscount.

And now, as the new owner of this thousand-year-old city, Su Yan still has an unreal feeling.

In a daze, he seemed to see the first friend he met after coming to this world.

"The sun is very gentle today!" Su Yan looked at the sun in the sky and laughed dumbly.

Just yesterday, he also captured Weihu City in such a gentle manner, without a trace of bloodshed due to Viscount Chen Qing's initiative to surrender.

And his rule, like the sun above, enveloped almost all the best places in the Northwest Province.

Today, except for the Loess Plateau, the territory of Northwest Province is basically under his rule.

At the beginning, after the incident of the ancient Qin emperor's revival was resolved, the other two top forces in the northwest province suddenly declined.

Even if the later heirs of the two families stayed together, they were gradually eroded under the management of Su Yan, who had greatly increased his strength!
Today, Su Yan is no longer the Earl of Qinchuan County, but the Duke of Qin!
This was after he annexed Longxi County and Xixian County, he took the initiative to write to the emperor to canonize him, and mentioned his contribution in preventing the resurrection of the ancient Qin emperor.

Therefore, whether it is in terms of strength or merit, it makes sense for him to become a duke.

What's more, since the current enfeoffment situation in Donghuang was formed, no noble family has ever been able to occupy most of the land in a province.

A nobleman like Su Yan, who has millions of people, has not appeared for hundreds of years.

The title of Duke of Qin is just a symbolic posthumous recognition!

Therefore, Jinling did not hesitate and conferred the first duke title since the founding of this dynasty!
Su Yan looked at the rising sun rising slowly from the eastern land in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and longing in his heart.

There is the eastern part of the Donghuang region, with more fertile land and a pleasant climate!
"No wonder the ancient Qin emperor was able to unify Donghuang a thousand years ago. This is really the foundation of the emperor!"

As the core of the Northwest Province, the Guanzhong land is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. Although the quality of the land has declined now, it is still a great plain that is rare in the world.

What's more, the terrain here is surrounded by mountains that block the great powers of Shandong!

In the ancient times of Blue Star, six countries joined forces to control Qin, but were blocked from Hangu Pass!
As long as the Guanzhong region is unified, when the Shandong powers are strong, they can rely on the natural dangers to defend. And when Shandong is weak, it can take advantage of the trend.

With the current situation of the Central Plains region being scattered, the army of thousands of elite wind speed dogs that he has integrated can definitely sweep through!
For a moment, Su Yan had the same thoughts as the ancient Qin emperor!
Perhaps sensing Su Yan's mood, a Poké Ball opened at his waist, and the Sun Rock appeared on its own.

Su Yan smiled at his old friend and said, "Are my mood swings obvious?"

After receiving confirmation from Sun Rock, Su Yan said dumbly:

"Although the position of Duke is extremely popular, like the rising sun, we are still very young!"
