I really became a king.

Chapter 519: Baiyue Land
After the two sides agreed on a ten-year period, Hu Yanbei did not leave immediately. Instead, he sipped his tea and said:

"Has Lord Yi ever thought of a possibility?"

Jiang Yi looked at the other party: "What does Prince Huyan mean?"

Hu Yanbei raised his hand and pointed at the map on the wall, saying, "Back then, the Xifan Dynasty was split into the East and West Royal Courts because of the secular sects, but now the Xifan royal family has regained secular power in the West Royal Court..."

"Prince Yi, what do you think is the possibility of the Western Tibet East and Western Royal Courts being reunited?"

Although it was said very tactfully, Jiang Yi could hear the intention of discord between the lines.

This was intended to create a rift between Prince Yi's Palace and the Western Tibet Eastern Prince Court, ultimately leading to a complete separation between the two sides.

Jiang Yi smiled and asked, "Does Prince Huyan think it's possible?"

"Why not? The Moye royal family has already begun to regain control of the secular world, and their fundamental interests are the same."

"Prince Huyan is wrong. Before the separation of East and West, their fundamental interests were the same, but after the official split, they no longer belonged to the same Moye royal family, so naturally they no longer had the so-called common fundamental interests!"

Seeing that Hu Yanbei wanted to say something, Jiang Yi gave an example: "Let's say you, the Hu Yan royal family, have tasted the taste of holding secular imperial power again. If I ask you to give it up again, would you be willing to do so?"

This is the reality. It is easy to separate the East and the West, but it is difficult to integrate them.

The Queen of the East King Court, Moye Yinyue, and the Champion Marquis might have this idea, but what about the other royal families of the East King Court? Including the newly promoted dignitaries of the East King Court, they definitely do not want to reunite.

The same is true for the Western Royal Court. Most of the royal family and dignitaries will not agree to merge the two again.

You must know that after the separation of the Eastern and Western Royal Courts, the first thing both sides did was to lavishly award titles and honors and promote a large number of new dignitaries.

Including some members of the royal family who had been marginalized before, they also made the leap and became powerful positions because of this!

Once things are merged, the most obvious thing is that the power in each person's hands will basically be reduced by half.

This is still the best case scenario. There are worse scenarios, for example, a large number of powerful people will lose their power and fall to the bottom, and their dreams of becoming aristocratic families will be completely shattered.

Based on this point alone, both the East King's Court and the West King's Court will be very cautious about the issue of re-merger.

Unless they have made up their minds to carry out a political purge amid the political turmoil.

But making up your mind is difficult, very difficult!

Beyond that, there is another huge obstacle.

In the past few years when the Eastern and Western Royal Courts were separated, the fighting was fierce, and many relatives died at the hands of the other side, resulting in a deep hatred.

If the two sides merge, the party in power will definitely seek revenge, and the method will be extremely bloody.

Considering this aspect alone, the leaders of both parties will not easily consider the merger.

Seeing that his provocation had little effect, Huyan Bei did not feel upset and chatted for a while before leaving.

When he met Li Yuanhao, the prince of the Baiyue Dynasty, he couldn't help but think of the words used by the founding emperor of Western Xia in his previous life when he introduced himself: Heaven and sun coexist, my name is Li Yuanhao!

A very domineering sentence!

The Li Yuanhao in front of him is indeed one of the most respected princes by the Emperor of Baiyue. He is much stronger than the most favored Sixth Prince Li Yuan.

He had a calm and steady aura, a pair of intimidating eagle eyes, and was full of dominance. However, Jiang Yi sensed a hidden sinister aura from this domineering aura.

The other party was dressed in the traditional clothes of southern Xinjiang, and he did not ask for a high price like Hu Yanbei did. But he also took the initiative to tell the Five Elements Flags under Prince Yi's Mansion to withdraw from the Shiwan Mountains and not to set foot in the Shiwan Mountains in the future.

Jiang Yi stood up and pulled open the curtain on the wall, revealing a new map, which was the map of southern Xinjiang including the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Then he used his finger to draw a line in the middle of the Ten Thousand Mountains, dividing the Ten Thousand Mountains into two parts, north and south.

"With this as the boundary, the north belongs to Prince Yi's Palace, and the south belongs to Baiyue!" The words were decisive and left no room for doubt.

Li Yuanhao stood up suddenly, but Jiang Yi did not give him a chance to speak. He pointed directly to the area west of the Shiwan Mountains and said:

"My Yiwang Mansion has reached an agreement with the Xifan East King Court. This area will belong to my Yiwang Mansion from now on..."

Li Yuanhao was stunned, looking at the area that Jiang Yi pointed at, speechless for a long time.

He understood the hidden meaning of Jiang Yi's words. There was no room for negotiation on this matter. If he disagreed, then they would fight!
After obtaining the territory west of the Shiwan Mountains, the Shiwan Mountains are no longer an insurmountable barrier, and the troops of Prince Yi's Palace can march directly south to the heartland of the Baiyue Dynasty.

At that time, the war will directly spread to the territory of the Baiyue Dynasty.

Li Yuanhao sat down slowly, as if weighing the pros and cons of it.

He seemed to have figured it out, and soon smiled and said, "My Baiyue Dynasty can agree to use the middle line of the Ten Thousand Mountains as the boundary, but what can my Baiyue Dynasty get?"

The Shiwan Mountains are vast, mysterious, and dangerous. While the mountains and forests are densely packed with dangerous places, they also contain many opportunities for adventure.

But to the Baiyue Dynasty, it felt like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

The Shiwan Mountains are also known as the Land of Baiyue because among the vast mountains lived an ancient clan - the Baiyue.

According to ancient legends, the ancestor of the Baiyue Dynasty, the Li family, walked out of the Ten Thousand Mountains. In order to honor their ancestors, they named the country "Baiyue".

However, many people believe that this is just a rumor, because since the establishment of the Baiyue Dynasty, it has been fighting with the Baiyue tribe in the Shiwan Mountains.

The Baiyue Dynasty was extremely ambitious and wanted to turn the Shiwan Mountains, the land of Baiyue, into its own back garden, so it had always attempted to subjugate the Baiyue people.

After so many years, the Baiyue Dynasty suffered heavy casualties and only managed to open up a north-south passage through the Ten Thousand Mountains, which was called the "Baiyue Corridor."

It was thanks to the Baiyue Corridor that the Baiyue Dynasty was able to cross the Ten Thousand Mountains and control "Niangzi Pass".

Unfortunately, after Prince Yi's Palace arrived in Western Xinjiang, Niangzi Pass and the vast grassland south of it were lost.

Even the "Baiyue Corridor" that was finally opened up was occupied by Lu Fan's Five Elements Flag at the north end of the corridor. The resistance of the Baiyue clan became more and more fierce.

So when Jiang Yi proposed to take away half of the Baiyue land, he did not have much resistance in his heart. It was just the right time to attract the firepower of the Baiyue clans for the Baiyue Dynasty.

But there must always be some benefits in exchange.

Just like replying to Hu Yanbei of the Quanshi Dynasty, Jiang Yi also proposed a ten-year truce. During these ten years, the army of Prince Yi's Mansion would not cross the border line at all.

Exchanging space for development time is in line with the demands of the Baiyue Dynasty and is enough for them to deal with the secluded sect in their territory - Fuyunjian.

Most importantly, Li Yuanhao felt Jiang Yi's unquestionable determination.

So there was no further bargaining and he agreed to Jiang Yi's ten-year term.

Both sides understand that ten years later, as long as one side is ready, a war will break out!
