"We face two challenges. The first is how to gain a foothold on Zhongzhou Island. Zhongzhou is a completely unfamiliar place for us, and there's basically no logic to it. Furthermore, if we rashly invade a family's territory, it's very likely to provoke hostility from that family."
The daimyo said helplessly, "And there's another point. We still don't know whether the monster from the Northern Province will cross the sea to the Central Province and continue to do what he did in the Northern Province."
"No matter which one it is, what we must face now is how to properly handle the relationship with the local lords."
In any case, they had to handle their relationship with the local lords well.
If the "demons" from the Northern State did not catch up, they would need to have friction with the local lords over territorial issues.
If the "demons" from the Northern State caught up with them, they would need to unite with the local lords to resist them.
They had managed to escape from the Northern Province by chance, but they didn't think they could escape from the Central Province to the Southern Province again.
After all, the road from Zhongzhou to Nanzhou requires passing through many places and encountering countless obstacles. It is impossible to reach Nanzhou at all. Therefore, resisting the "demons" together with the local lords is also a top priority.
Although they thought it was basically impossible for them to defeat the powerful demon, it was better to live than to die. Every day they could delay was a day better than another day, and every day they lived was a gain.
"Your Excellency, Alliance Leader, is absolutely right, but how should we talk to the local lords now?"
A small figure with several hundred soldiers asked weakly, "The local army has already set up camp a hundred miles away from us. I'm afraid war is imminent."
This is indeed a relatively important issue.
The troops of the Takeshita family have quickly gathered a hundred miles away, keeping a close eye on their every move. If anything goes wrong, war will break out immediately, and there will be no talk of unity in resisting the "demon".
And most importantly, most of the elite troops of Beizhou were killed in the confrontation with the "demons". In fact, most of the nearly 100,000 troops they brought were temporarily recruited men. They were okay for show, but once the real fight started, their true colors would be exposed in an instant.
"I know what you are worried about, don't worry."
The daimyo smiled faintly, looking confident as he spoke slowly, "I've already sent people to invite members of the local Takeshita family to negotiate. I've also sent people to Tianyu Castle at full speed to ask for the help of Tianyu Harunaka-sama, the number one daimyo in Zhongzhou."
"With such a dramatic change happening in the Northern Province, Central Province will undoubtedly feel grief and be greatly alert to the demons in the Northern Province. I think they will also forgive us."
A petty official said worriedly, "Master Tian Yuqingzhong is a great name in Zhongzhou after all. He might speak up for the people of Zhongzhou."
The daimyo, who was revered as the leader of the alliance, stared at the princes present with wide eyes in disbelief, and said word by word: "Everyone, we have reached this point today. Do you think anyone still thinks we can continue to be kings and dominate the world and call ourselves famous?"
"We now have 90,000 men, which is our capital. When the time comes, we will surrender to Lord Tian Yuqingzhong and become a worry-free noble under his command. That way, we will have no worries about our lives. Everything will be left to Lord Tian Yuqingzhong to think about. What does it have to do with us?"
"By then, we will be Lord Tian Yuqingzhong's troops. How could Lord Tian Yuqingzhong possibly help someone from outside his family?"
This daimyo who was respected as the leader of the alliance had very strict logic and was very sharp. When he learned that he had no way out, he immediately gave up his current position and chose a safer way.
However, because his words were too blunt, they caused some discomfort among the surrounding nicknames. Some of them even put on an expression of refusing to obey until death: "My father and grandfather worked hard for three generations to make our family's name a hegemony. How can we just give up so easily?"
"Humph, you guys take yourselves too seriously."
The daimyo, who was revered as the leader of the alliance, sneered and said, "I am only informing you of this fact. When Master Tian Yuqingzhong arrives here, all of my 15,000 soldiers will serve Master Tian Yuqingzhong, and I will also swear to follow you until death."
"You can do whatever you want. I won't interfere with any of your situations."
He didn't want to waste any more time talking about these nicknames.
There were four daimyo and thirty-one petty names present. The total military strength of these thirty-one petty names was barely comparable to that of a daimyo. The daimyo's political influence was much greater than theirs, so they could not make any big waves at all.
They just think of themselves as important figures. In fact, their statements are of no importance at all.
After saying this, the daimyo who held a leader-like status turned around and left, preparing to go with the other three daimyo to contact the diplomats of the Takeshita family.
That is the most important thing today, the root of everything.
These nicknames are just trivial matters. If you can get them, then strive for them. If you can't, then rush to guard the seaport to prevent the monsters from the North State from landing in the Central State.
......
Three days later at night, Tianyu City was now brightly lit, and every household was filled with happy smiles.
Today, Tianyuqingzhong has once again made a leap forward in development.
One third of the Southern Province has fallen into his control, and the imperial capital of the Central Province, Kyoto, has also been breached. The former king has become a plaything in the hands of Amanomi Harunaka, and Amanomi Harunaka has also become the most powerful among the daimyo, called the Shogun.
