Chapter 574
In Beihuang Haozhou City, there was no trace of pride on the face of Prince Ji Lin of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even though he had defeated the enemy's attack again, Ji Lin could not hide the look of anger on his face.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Du Chong's sleeves fluttered.

"King Ming sent millions of troops, led by Grand Tutor Wang Yangming, and began the Eastern Expedition." Ji Lin recounted the news he had received, and said: "Although our people are on the move in Beihuang, King Ming stayed behind in Beihuang. There are many back-up men, these people show no signs of weakness, and Beihuang may not be able to resist them."

"There has been no news from Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan, so there is no need for your Highness to worry." Du Chong explained: "In Beihuang, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan are still quite powerful."

"This is the information sent by Shi Feixuan. King Ming was treacherous and asked the young commander Kou Zhong to go back first. Only after two days did Shi Feixuan know the situation. But by that time, it was already too late. Two days later It's enough to make the other party ready." Ji Lin felt a little dissatisfied.

"Did Shi Fei Xuan ask for help from His Highness?" Du Chong asked.

"That's not true." Ji Lin was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Brother, do you think they can stop this million-strong army?"

"Your Highness, do you think it's just Shi Feixuan and the others who can deal with King Ming? No, it's definitely not just the righteous path of the Eastern Barren, but also the Demon Sect, and those aristocratic families. The Eastern Barren and the Southern Barren are completely different. In the Eastern Barren, the aristocratic families The big families occupy an important position, and even the failure of King Sui was because of these big families."

"Whether it is a big family or a sect in Jianghu, they all need a lot of land. However, in the Southern Wilderness, under the rule of King Ming, these things are not available. How can these big families agree?"

Du Chong stroked his beard, with a slightly concerned look on his face, and analyzed the situation in front of him with a smile. Ji Lin nodded repeatedly. He had also heard about the situation in Donghuang.It is indeed different from Southern Wasteland.

"Who is King Ming's internal correspondent in the Sui Dynasty? What can Kou Zhong, a small gangster, do? Now that he is joining forces with King Ming, I guess that none of his men will agree. In fact, the Li family's army has not arrived yet. His own people have already rebelled." Du Chong said with a smile.

"If there is a good way, there will be more help, but if there is no way, there will be little help. King Ming's method may be successful in the Southern Barren, but in the Eastern Barren, he is destined to be opposed by many people, so he is destined to fail." Ji Lin was very happy after hearing this. When Chong said this, he also believed that King Ming's actions in Donghuang would not lead to victory.

"Your Highness is wise." Du Chong touched his beard and sighed: "In the wilderness, the customs and habits of different places are different. I, Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, am still wise and powerful. Knowing this situation, I simply divided the four wildernesses into enfeoffments. Go out and manage according to the customs and habits of various places. Although King Ming is smart, he is too naive. His martial arts is okay, but in terms of methods of governing the country, he is still far behind. How can he govern the world if he doesn't know how to adapt to local conditions?"

Ji Lin's face tightened after hearing this. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Emperor Wu may have been right back then, but it is a bit inappropriate now. The wilderness should be unified, not divided. If it could be unified back then, If that were the case, how could there be anything like what happened today? If I solved the problem in Beihuang alone, I would still have to solve the problem in other places."

In fact, Ji Lin was very disgusted with Emperor Zhou Wu's decision to enfeoff. It was because of this enfeoffment that the current situation was caused and King Ming showed signs of becoming bigger.

It's just that when he spoke, he didn't see Du Chong's face. At this moment, Du Chong thought of what Yin Xi said before he died. Ji Lin really had the heart of an emperor. Compared with before, he valued the country of Great Zhou, not the country. other things.

Even in the other party's heart, he still agreed with the decision made by King Ming. After all, King Ming's move was to consolidate the royal power, and he was the only one who respected himself. Where are the princes and kings and where is the Martial Saint Palace? This was Ji Lin's real thought.

Maybe one day, when Ji Lin thinks that he is hindering the imperial power, he will probably take action against him without hesitation. Anyone who harms the imperial power will not end well.The simple thing is that Ji Lin has outstanding qualifications and has an unlimited future. He is just a Martial Saint now. If the other party can one day be promoted to Martial Emperor, he can naturally tolerate him.

"What your Highness said is true." Although Du Chong had other thoughts in his heart, he was wise enough not to say them out.

"King Ming is attacking Donghuang, senior brother, we can't do nothing!" Ji Lin sighed: "Now our soldiers and horses are in Beihuang, we can't support Donghuang, but we can let the two Song Dynasties send troops to capture everything The territories were awarded to both countries, and they were even told that if they could join forces to destroy the Ming Dynasty, they would give their territory to one country, and then let the other country occupy the Western Wilderness, so that they would have the best of both worlds."

"Your Highness, is this okay?" Du Chong suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Why not? I think it's good. In this way, we can just let them eat dog. It can also save our time and energy." Ji Lin said nonchalantly.

"Of course there is no problem with Wusheng Mansion. What I am worried about is the Liang Song Dynasty. The Liang Song Dynasty is not stupid. They also have many capable ministers in the court." Du Chong hesitated.

Although the Song Dynasty was weak, there were still many ministers in the court who were relatively honest, such as Wang Anshi and Sima Guang in the Northern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu in the Southern Song Dynasty, etc. These people were supporting the power of the Song Dynasty.

Ji Lin's strategy is actually not very clever, and can even be seen through at a glance. It cannot be used in front of Wang Anshi and others. This kind of strategy to sow discord may not have any effect.

"Of course, there is a suspicion that the disaster will move eastward, but the Ming Dynasty is so powerful, aren't they worried? Don't they understand the principle of lip death and tooth coldness? No, they must understand this truth. In this case, facing this kind of Due to the situation, they have to complete it according to our requirements, right? My senior brother." Ji Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Du Chong nodded after hearing this. According to King Ming's thoughts, under the current situation, the two Song dynasties still understood this truth in their hearts. After the Ming Dynasty solved the Eastern Barren, the next step would be the Two Song dynasties. As for whether it is the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, that's it. It depends on King Ming’s preference.

Now, under the mediation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be the best thing if the two sides could unite and attack the Ming Dynasty's retreat while the main force of the Ming Dynasty attacked the Eastern Barren, forcing the Ming Dynasty to withdraw its troops, or even swallow up the Ming Dynasty.

Even if they knew that this was the disaster of the Great Zhou Dynasty moving eastward, they would still be fooled.

Because, for their own benefit, they can only do this.Unless they are so willing to be annexed by Ming Dynasty.

"Originally, these vassal states were supposed to fight together against the imperial court, but now it is the imperial court that unites the lords and kings to deal with the Ming Dynasty. It's really ridiculous!" Ji Lin's face did not show any joy, but was a little more frustrated.
