Soon, when the merchant teams from Changle County arrived at the market trading area, the other friendly counties were completely dumbfounded after seeing this scene.
"Oh my god, is it possible that my eyes are blurry? I actually saw a group of horse bandits escorting a trade caravan. This is too incredible!"
"It seems that the rumors about Changle County are true. That guy named Ayang has completely changed the original county structure. I think it won't be long before our entire alliance will undergo earth-shaking changes because of the rise of this young man!"
In fact, Xu Yang’s role as a leader is based on one core principle, which is that no matter how he develops, he must never touch the interests of the lowest class of people.
If one causes people to complain for one's own selfish reasons, then one is going against the way of heaven.
On the contrary, as long as the public opinion is appeased, even if you join forces with the bandits, you will still be able to get the support and backing of everyone.
"Hey, you know what?
This time, our boss Ayang not only escorted them personally, but also conquered the largest bandit force nearby, and also completely exempted our more than 2,000 merchants from the protection tax that they should have paid!
Such a leader is hard to come by! "
"Oh my god, after hearing what you said, I'm kind of thinking about joining Changle County!"
"Haha, no need to be envious. With our Boss Ayang's great talent and strategy, I believe it won't be long before the entire alliance looks at him with new eyes!
By that time, as his influence grows and more and more people follow him, his territory will surely continue to expand. We have been neighbors for many years, and I think it won’t be long before we become one family!”
Thanks to Xu Yang's extraordinary actions and arrangements this time, the trade fair among the five counties achieved an unprecedented victory!
Because of this, Ayang's name began to spread throughout the alliance.
Changle County, which had always been in an oppressed position, has successfully risen in one day. This has also made the name of the Holy Fire Sect, which has become more and more famous, spread to more and more places.
The trade fair ended perfectly...
Xu Yang personally led the team back to the forest along the way. Under the personal leadership of the second in command, the Five Heavenly Kings brought hundreds of elite disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall up the mountain to redistribute all the reserve materials on the mountain.
Those that were unused were directly transported to Changle County. As for the missing supplies, Xu Yang directly ordered the bandit brothers to be supplied. Under the personal arrangement of Brother Lao Tan, he selected several county cities in the entire alliance that were hostile to Changle County and began a new round of lurking near them.
"Okay, we have to go back to the county town. Let's say goodbye now. Remember what I said to you. From now on, you are disciples of the Holy Fire Sect.
But when you take external actions, no one is allowed to act privately in the name of the Holy Fire Sect without my authorization. Of course, if you continue to do your old business, I will not stop you. How much supplies you can seize from those county towns depends on your ability. "
"Haha, don't worry, Sect Master. Those county towns are forces that have always been hostile to Changle County. We will definitely not hold back and will make them pay the price!"
…
However, what Xu Yang and others did not expect was that five days later, in the first action after these horse bandits joined the Holy Fire Sect, more than half of the 2,000 soldiers in the horse bandit team were lost.
The reason was that the second in command was too reckless. He thought he could do whatever he wanted with Xu Yang's support behind him. As a result, he led his brothers and charged into Sancha Pass.
Speaking of Sanchaguan, it is located in the northwest of Changle County, the intersection of the three major county towns of Anshoujun, Buzhoujun, and Zhanmeng County.
These three county towns have always had extremely bad relations with Changle County, and are considered the three forces in the unified alliance that are most incompatible with Changle County.
The embarrassing thing is that these three forces are ranked among the top five in terms of comprehensive capabilities in the entire alliance.
Normally, apart from maintaining friendly diplomatic relations with Anping County, where the leader of the alliance was located, the three families ignored all other county cities within the alliance and tried every means to plunder and oppress them.
The mighty strength of these three county cities can be seen from the fact that they directly attacked the horse bandits. They were not afraid of the horse bandits and were even able to take the initiative to attack. It can be imagined how amazing their foundation and combat effectiveness are.
"Master, this is a letter for help from the second leader of the bandits. We still have more than 400 bandits trapped in Sanchaguan. It is said that they are besieged by more than 3,000 allied troops from the three counties of Sanchaguan. The leader over there claims that if the bandits don't hand over 5 million taels of silver, they will definitely not let them go."
Xu Yang smiled indifferently: "Have you sent anyone to contact them? Do they know that this group of people are under the command of our Holy Fire Sect?"
Old Brother Tan nodded awkwardly and said, "We sent three brothers to communicate with them as the dead, but the news came back soon. Those people directly beheaded our messengers."
Xu Yang didn't waste any more words and just stood up calmly.
"Since they are so ungrateful, we should prepare a big surprise for them. By the way, we should also use this battle to make the entire alliance remember the name of our Holy Fire Sect forever."
Seeing that the battle of Xuyang was decided, Old Brother Tan immediately became very interested in fighting, and it didn't take long for the Five Heavenly Kings to raise their hands again.
"Haha, Sect Master, this time we are marching into Sanchakou, it will be a tough battle. Brothers, we have all been waiting for a long time and want to make achievements!"
Xu Yang shook his head slightly: "No, this is just a test. There are many tough battles waiting for us in the future. It is just a small dispute within the alliance, which is nothing at all.
This time, I plan to bring some relatively weak newcomers to fight with me!
Each of your five clans will select thirty novices, and I will personally lead them to Sancha Pass."
“Your command!
!”
Soon, a team of 200 people was ready to set off.
The animal Xu Yang was riding was the Fire Unicorn that had been presented as a tribute by the bandit headquarters. The spear in his hand was also a century-old magic weapon that Xu Yang had found at random.
Although its strength cannot be compared with his jade bone artifact or even Tu Tian, it is enough to make Xu Yang stand out from the crowd in a small-scale battle like the current one.
At Sancha Pass, the 3,000 warriors from the three county cities gathered here were already ready and lined up to fight against the 200 brothers brought by Xu Yang.
"Hahaha, I thought this Holy Fire Sect was so powerful, but it's just shit. After all this time, they only got 200 trash to fight. I really don't want to bully you guys, but I'll take this opportunity to crush your arrogance. It will be much easier to attack Changle County in the future."
