I, make my own

Chapter 80 Great Chu side by side king, the enemy army suppresses the situation
The first moment.

Great Zhou Palace, Tai Chi Hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, the remnants of the enemy in the city have been wiped out, except for the owner of the Tianji Building and its core layer, Xu Ru, the confidant of King Qi, who escaped, all the other targets were captured and killed!"

I wish Gao Yang a bright report, and his joy is beyond words.

Zhou Xin nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right. Although we got rid of a few prey in this battle, it can be called a complete success if we can achieve this level."

"I am ashamed of you! The people of Tianjilou are as cunning as a fox. Although they successfully took down their two strongholds, Cuiyinlou and Zhushan Ancient Temple, their cores have not been damaged."

"However, rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister has ordered Jing'an Division to issue a sea arrest document to the entire dynasty, and the people in Tianjilou and Xu Ru will not be able to escape the sanction of the court's laws!"

Seeing Zhu Gaoyang's serious appearance, Bai Wudang and Fang Yingchun couldn't help laughing, but fortunately they didn't really laugh.

"Well, then I will wait."

Zhou Xin nodded without changing his expression, and then asked: "Just now you said there are a few more important things, what are they?"

"Your Majesty, there are indeed two important matters."

Mentioning this, Zhu Gaoyang's expression suddenly became serious.

"First, the Qilin Guard seized a bronze disc when he killed Lu Jiuzhang, the son of Prince Dingxiang."

"According to the description of the team leading the squad, the disk should not be simple, and the secrets behind it may be related to the [-] troops sent by King Dingxiang."

Having said that, Zhu Gaoyang paused slightly, and glanced at a waiter holding a tray behind him.

"Bring it up."

Zhou Xin was also a little curious, and gave instructions to the servant.

"Yes!"

When the waiter came to the bottom of the stairs, Fang Yingchun stepped out and took off the red cloth covering the tray. After finding nothing unusual, he took the tray and brought it to Zhou Xin.

Zhou Xin looked up and found a bronze disc the size of a baked naan in the tray. The surface of the disc was divided into 36 areas by black lines and divided into three layers. Many places were decorated with red runes.

His first impression of this rusty bronze plate was that it was simple and simple, with a sense of "antique".

However, after careful observation and sensing, he caught a subtle fluctuation, which seemed a little familiar.

familiar?

Zhou Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think carefully.

After more than ten breaths, Zhou Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.

He remembered, that kind of fluctuation seemed somewhat similar to the breath fluctuation on Hu Runer's body.

As for Hu Run'er's special features...

"Could it be spiritual energy?"

Zhou Xin murmured something secretly, and then looked determined.

"About the matter of the bronze disc, we must let the Jing'an Division of Xifeng Prefecture find out the root cause! Also, just in case, when we attack King Qi in the future, try to capture King Qi alive!"

After exhorting Zhu Gaoyang, Zhou Xinfu looked at Bai Wudang again.

"Give me an order over there as well."

"only!"

Zhu Gaoyang and Bai Wudang bowed their heads and obeyed orders.

After Zhou Xin pondered for a while, he looked at Fang Yingchun again.

"Concubine Lin doesn't need to stay anymore, please let her go on the road, but let her go peacefully and decently."

"Also, let's take a look at Hu Run'er's situation."

"only!"

Fang Yingchun lowered her head and knelt, not feeling sorry for Lin Menghan's fate at all.

It is His Majesty's mercy to let her die with dignity for meddling in politics and conspiracy.

"I wish Aiqing, you continue."

"Yes."

Zhu Gaoyang's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"Your Majesty, the second thing is that an hour ago, there was an urgent message from Da Chu's secret line: the Da Chu Dynasty raised 30 troops to approach the Dingkun border!"

"30 troops?"

Yuan Xing, Minister of the Ministry of War who hadn't interrupted, was startled suddenly, his expression uncertain.

"Didn't it mean that the envoys sent by King Shahai were just for show? And even if they really sent people to the imperial capital of Great Chu, it's impossible for the Great Chu army to move so fast, right?"

"Could it be the private behavior of the King of Great Chu?"

The distribution of forces in the Great Chu Dynasty is also very interesting. Like the Silla Dynasty, they have no vassal kings.

However, there are princes with or without fiefs in Dachu, and there is also a king with a different surname. This king with a different surname is Gaosong.

Gao Song is a legend in the military circles of the Great Chu. He joined the army as a young man and became a captain when he was crowned.

It seized the land of the three counties of the Silla Dynasty for Dachu, and took the land of one county of the Western Bihai Dynasty.

Fifty years ago, the Jin Ge Dynasty raised 50 elite troops to invade the northwest border of Great Chu.

At that time, Gao Song took advantage of the border towns and towns as his base, and took advantage of the time when the Jin Ge army dispersed and marched towards the interior of the Great Chu. Armed the county city into a hedgehog.

This hedgehog was like an iron nail, firmly nailed to death in the middle of the Jin Ge army's journey, and from time to time sent troops to harass Jin Ge's luggage and reinforcements.

When the Jin Ge army came back to their senses and mobilized an army of [-] to attack, they finally tasted the bitter fruit.

That was the bitter fruit of being attacked for half a month, with more than half of the casualties, but still not being able to capture it. It was also the bitter fruit of the strategy of seizing a state being completely ruined by a mere city!

It is precisely because of the existence of this nail that it gave the Great Chu Dynasty a breathing space and confidence, and finally counterattacked, repelling the Jin Ge army that had increased to 10,000+.

Although Jin Ge's army finally won a county of Dachu, compared to the loss of a state, this failure cannot be called a failure, but a great victory...

It was also the occurrence of this battle that completely pushed Gao Song to the altar.

At that time, the Emperor of Great Chu disregarded the objections of his ministers, and with a wave of his hand, he named Gao Song the "one-word side-by-side king", and established a northern army with a scale of up to 50. Four countries around.

Since then, the pressure on Da Chu has indeed decreased a lot, especially the royal family.

Because the north of Great Chu is bordered by the four countries at the same time, but the central and southern parts are only bordered by the Silla Dynasty and the Bihai Dynasty.

However, as the saying goes, there must be losses in every gain, and this step also created a big trouble for a confidant who listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement.

Gao Song originally had a high prestige in the military circles of Great Chu, but now he has been named the King of Side-by-Shoulders, and he is also the supreme commander of the Northern Army.

By the time Emperor Chu realized something was wrong and tried to solve it, it was too late.

Announcing the decree to enter Beijing, pretending to be ill; sending people to check and balance, and being assassinated halfway; wanting to remove the post of coach, they directly pulled out a hundred thousand troops to face the south for a grand exercise...

So far, the tiger's troubles have come to fruition, and Da Chu has nothing to do. He can only grit his teeth and acquiesce, and barely maintain the status quo.

What's interesting is that although Gao Song has reached the pinnacle of his life, he has a big pain - infertility.

Over the past few decades, Gao Song has found hundreds of women, but no matter whether they are youthful beauties, rare beauties, young girls, or charming young women, none of them can give birth to heirs for him.

The only exception is a nearly 50-year-old nun.

And what was born was not a son, but a daughter.

To make matters worse, his only daughter seems to have inherited his problems and is barren.

In the past three years, for the continuation of the bloodline and the succession of the power of the side-by-side king, Gao Song ruthlessly changed eight men for his daughter, but still got nothing...

……

"It could be said, but not entirely."

Zhu Gaoyang nodded, then shook his head again.

"According to the secret report, the reason why the King of Great Chu acted like this is entirely because of one person."

"That man's name is Liu Fengwu."

"Huh? Who is this Liu Fengwu? How could he have such a great power to drive that Gao Song?"

Yuan Xing was even more puzzled.

Zhu Gaoyang's eyes flashed slightly, he coughed lightly and replied: "Speaking of which, this Liu Fengwu is still from my Great Zhou Dynasty."

"His father is Liu Tan..."

Liu Tan?

Hearing this name, Bai Wudang suddenly realized something.

Liu Tan was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials before the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was pushed out by Lin Zhengqing as a scapegoat before, and he had already been exiled by the imperial court.

At this moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of the first half of Lin Zhengqing's sentence before his death. This Liu Tan should be a pawn pushed out by Lin Zhengqing, and the so-called trouble should be on this person!
"Wait, hasn't Liu Tan been wiped out of the three clans? How can he still have heirs alive?"

Yuan Xing suddenly stared at Zhu Gaoyang with a confused expression.

Zhu Gaoyang sighed secretly, and suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I only found out after receiving a secret report that Liu Fengwu is the son of Liu Tan's traitor. No one in the Liu residence knows of his existence."

Zhou Xin frowned, and after pondering for a while, he calmly said, "Although you can't be blamed for this, it also shows that your Jing'an Division still has many shortcomings. Let's take it as a warning."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I must learn from the lesson and reflect on myself!"

Zhu Gao Yang felt relieved, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Okay, get up, let's talk about this person's entanglement with Gao Song."

"Yes!"

After Zhu Gaoyang got up, he began to talk about the reason.

"Gao Xiaoqian, Gao Song's daughter, was barren, but Liu Fengwu happened to be the one who broke the curse, making Gao Xiaoqian successfully conceive."

"Thus, Gao Song favored Liu Fengwu a lot and valued him a lot."

"This time Gao Song raised an army of 30 to approach our Dingkun border, most likely because of Liu Fengwu's instigation."

"I see."

Zhou Xin nodded suddenly, stroked his chin and meditated for a few breaths, then suddenly changed the topic.

"Tell me about the situation of the Huben Army and the Tiqi Guards."

"Returning to Your Majesty, in the Battle of Chichuantan, the Huben Army, Tiqi Guards, Anfeng Frontier Army, and the Navy of the two states joined forces to fight, plus the drowned enemy army, and finally captured 18 heads and 14 prisoners. Thirty thousand Silla troops fled."

"After this battle, the Navy and the [-] Anfeng Frontier Army were in charge of dealing with the prisoners and other funeral affairs, while the Huben Army and the Tiqi Guards went to the battlefield of the civil strife in the plain."

"Half an hour ago, Anfeng's victory report arrived, saying that the Pingyuan Fan soldiers surrendered without a fight, and the Pingyuan King Zhou Zichang committed suicide. General Huben Deng is discussing follow-up matters with the brave general Li Ke and the governor of Pingyuan County."

Zhou Xin smiled with satisfaction when he heard that the Pingyuan Domain had been resolved.

"It's good news. According to my will, order the Tiger Ben army and Ti cavalry guards to break out of the camp early tomorrow morning and march towards King Qi's domain!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was stunned, and the two of them looked at each other with some confusion.
