This is very consistent with Cao Yuanming's temperament.
After seeing Qin Yi's projection, he no longer thought about proving the truth of the Shuzhou incident.
He even insisted that what happened in Shuzhou was true.
Why?
Because Cao Yuanming thought of his vested interests first, and only interests would make him so concerned.
Qin Yi said humbly, "I have no virtue or ability to be in charge. I just want to do what I can for the planet master of Shuzhou after investigating the situation in Shuzhou."
"The time for this alliance will be determined after I visit the governor of Bingzhou."
"However, I think the sooner this matter is dealt with, the better. If it is left unchecked for too long, it may lead to unexpected events."
Cao Yuanming nodded and agreed, "That's right. This matter cannot be delayed. No one knows whether the Gu God will know about our plan. We must strike first and catch them off guard."
"Now that we have Wuzhou, Xuzhou, me, and your technological weapons, suppressing the Gu God shouldn't be a problem."
"Even if we can't completely suppress him, we can still defeat him and restore order to Shuzhou."
His meaning was very clear. If the governor of Bingzhou was unwilling, there was no need to force him.
In other words, there is no need to go to Bingzhou at all. Four families will be enough. The more people they call, the less benefits they will get when Shuzhou is divided.
Although it’s a bit of a shame that we can’t eat it all in one bite, it’s not necessary to invite so many people to eat it.
Qin Yi pretended not to understand what Cao Yuanming meant and said, "Well, I think the governor of Bingzhou would definitely agree. After all, Shuzhou and Bingzhou are neighbors. He must know that if the Gu God grows stronger, it will have an adverse impact on Bingzhou."
Cao Yuanming looked at Qin Yi and said nothing more.
It seems that Qin Yi did learn about the situation in Shuzhou by chance, and then thought of combining the strength of several states to suppress the Gu God. If he really wanted to divide Shuzhou, there would be no need for a five-state alliance. Three states would be enough, and they could even do it quietly on their own.
Cao Yuanming witnessed with his own eyes the ability of technological weapons to restrain dark beasts and was greatly shocked.
Yanzhou was the second province after Wuzhou to introduce technological weapons, and the purchase volume was relatively large, higher than Xuzhou.
After all, no matter how expensive technological weapons are, they are a long-term benefit. Equipping a team with five technological weapons can allow the team to obtain five more obsidian every day.
By this calculation, one year is enough to recover the cost, and two years is likely to surpass the previous level.
"Thank you for taking care of this matter, little brother."
Cao Yuanming was a man who would not act until he saw the rabbit. Since the candidate for the leader of the alliance had not been decided and the other states had not fully expressed their positions, he was not in a hurry.
There are many things to deal with every day, and I have to manage my own planet, so I don’t have time to contact other state lords to discuss this matter.
Everything will be decided when the alliance meeting comes to see other people’s attitudes.
There must always be someone in charge.
Otherwise, even if it was an alliance of five states, each of them would bring their own troops to Shuzhou and want to defeat the dark god Gu Shen who had been hiding in Shuzhou for decades. It would be very easy for them to be suppressed by Gu Shen.
Cao Yuanming naturally wanted to be the one in charge and become the leader of the Five States Alliance. In this way, it would be much easier to plan for the interests of Yanzhou.
However, this kind of thing cannot be said openly, nor can it be said directly at this time.
After politely seeing Qin Yi off, Cao Yuanming immediately asked his deputy to call the lords of the nine cities in Yanzhou.
"Just now, the governor of Chuzhou came to discuss an important matter."
Cao Yuanming briefly explained the situation in Shu Province to the city lords, including his own opinions. Finally, he asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Under his governance, Yanzhou was considered the base camp of the Cao family. The lords of the nine cities were all members of the Cao family. They were either married to the Cao family, or were from a side branch, or were planet masters cultivated by the Cao family.
Therefore, Cao Yuanming could be regarded as the true ruler of Yanzhou, with the ability to have the final say.
However, Cao Yuanming was not a reckless person, nor was he the kind of foolish and incompetent governor.
He is able to accept and listen to other people's opinions, and also has many insights of his own. At the same time, he will let data analysts analyze and finally make a decision.
Someone stood up and said bluntly: "Lord, these states have not formed an alliance for decades. On a normal day, they don't even pass each other's chambers of commerce."
"This time, it's because Chuzhou's technological weapons can effectively restrain dark energy."
"Otherwise, Yanzhou and Chuzhou would be as far apart as a hundred thousand miles, and even the interstellar network wouldn't be interoperable."
"Now, we must unite to invade Shuzhou and attack the ruler of Shuzhou, the so-called Gu God."
"Isn't it a little too fast?"
Having said that, the man looked at Cao Yuanming and the others and said, "Also, I always feel that Qin Yi, the governor of Chuzhou, has bad intentions."
However, Cao Yuanming didn't think Qin Yi could have any conspiracy. Chuzhou's strength was not as strong as before. How could they rely on the small number of people they had?
It’s not that Cao Yuanming underestimated Qin Yi, but as the master of the planet, Chuzhou’s strength was still too weak in the eyes of outsiders.
This may be because Qin Yi is the planet master of a technological civilization and does not have too strong strength himself.
The battle depends entirely on mastering technological weapons and science and technology.
This situation is somewhat deceptive.
At the beginning, Shen Xinghe failed to realize that Qin Yi was not under the control of Xianniang. In the end, he directly led Ming Zhan and others to rebel, causing most of Shen Xinghe's plans to fail.
Some people said that Qin Yi was not honest and was just using this excuse to attack Shuzhou so that he could quickly collect Shuzhou's original power and obsidian resources, thereby strengthening Chuzhou.
Because Chuzhou has been through a war and lacks the power of origin,
Otherwise, is Qin Yi really just doing this for the planet master of Shuzhou?
No matter what reason he gave, Cao Yuanming didn't quite believe it.
"We must always be on guard against others. City Lord Xun is right about this." Cao Yuanming affirmed Xun You's words.
The other city lords also had their own opinions.
If the five states really form an alliance at that time, it will not be as simple as guarding against Chuzhou and Qin Yi.
After all, no one is a fool.
After decades of peace and comfort, they suddenly have to unite.
There will definitely be some chaos.
It depends on how he responds.
Qin Yi brought Ming Zhan and others to Bingzhou, but was blocked outside by Bingzhou's defensive formation.
Up to now, Chuzhou’s technological weapons have not been able to penetrate Shuzhou or Bingzhou.
I don’t know what the current situation in Bingzhou is.
"Lord of Chuzhou?" Dong Yaoxing, Lord of Bingzhou, asked doubtfully in the clouds above the central building of Xiliang City, Bingzhou.
