The world of Taoism

Chapter 437 Luoyang
Lian Hongyu came to Yangzhou Yuchan Mountain to visit Zhou Xuan from the moment he promulgated the Tianxia Qin Wang Ling.

With Zhou Xuan's strength, he might be able to reach the position of an alliance leader, and then his family will also be able to flourish.

On Zhou Xuan's side, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the generals are like clouds, and the advisers are like rain.

There are 10 standing soldiers.

If we expand our troops at all costs, I am afraid that we can support an army of 50 without any pressure.

If there is an all-out war, this number may be raised even higher.

At least in the entire southeast, Zhou Xuan's strength is beyond doubt.

After all, the surrounding princes had begun to attack each other, but no one dared to step into Zhou Xuan's territory.

After these years of operation, the site is as strong as an iron barrel. No matter how they infiltrate, they will return without success in the end.

Some of these people have even formed an alliance to fight against Zhou Xuan.

According to the current situation, as long as the banner is raised to respond, the other princes can be restrained with righteousness and the dominance of the southeast can be won.

At that time, Zhou Xuan will be the biggest prince in the south of the Yangtze River, and he can even be called king or emperor.

But now Zhou Xuan has given up, this is a great opportunity, if God does not take it, he will be harmed instead.

There may not be such a good opportunity in the future.

Once someone coerced the emperor to order the princes, then Zhou Xuan fell into a passive position.

Coupled with strong strength, it is likely to become a target of public criticism. At that time, the only way to go is rebellion.

This will follow in the footsteps of General Tiangong.

If you let your subordinates pass by like this, aren't you afraid that they will gain fame in the end and turn against the customer?
"Don't worry, just wait and see what happens." Zhou Xuan smiled inscrutably.

For some reason, Zhou Xuan had a vague feeling that things were far from that simple this time.

Qiu Hao had met that emperor before, and that emperor was not as foolish as everyone had rumored, but was full of palaces, full of culture and martial arts.

According to Qiu Hao, the emperor's eyes are like a wolf, waiting for an opportunity, a wolf waiting for its prey, as long as the opponent shows its flaws, it will die without a place to bury it.

This is how the emperor feels for Qiuhao.

Although it looks cynical, it does give people a great threat.

Lian Hongyu was still on the sidelines persuading Zhou Xuan to think twice before acting, not to let people seize the opportunity in vain, this time can be said to be very important, and there is no room for loss.

"Don't persuade me anymore, I won't make a move." Zhou Xuan shook his head and said.

Not to mention whether he wants to make a move or not, according to the current situation, making a move here may attract everyone's attention.

I'm afraid there are many people behind him who are planning on him.

Zhou Xuan has controlled such a large territory for several years, it is impossible to say that no one is jealous.

It may be inconvenient to do it in peacetime.

The current situation has made many ambitious people ready to move. Whether it is inside or outside, Zhou Xuan smells something unusual.

He is not the only smart person in this world.

I am afraid that there are already many aristocratic families who secretly support the people they choose.

This time the Huangfu family made a move, many aristocratic families and sects in Yangzhou heard the news and moved, betting their treasure on Zhu Xinglie.

Even if Zhu Xinglie is unsuccessful in the end, he can still bite a piece of Tianshidao's flesh, which is also a great harvest.

Some big families don't just support one person, but send multiple family members to support different princes, including Huangfu Ming.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Xuan can also take a look at what forces are secretly causing trouble. This time is also an opportunity to cleanse the forces within the sect.

After the order was issued, it did cause a very big response.

In a secret room, Cao Xianfeng sat next to Zhu Xinglie, analyzing the pros and cons for Zhu Xinglie.

Zhu Xinglie frowned tightly, listening attentively, showing a thoughtful look from time to time,

"But by doing so, will it harm the interests of the Celestial Master?" Zhu Xinglie said.

His loyalty to Tianshidao is beyond doubt.

Originally, he was just a refugee who was about to starve to death. It was Tianshidao who adopted him and gave him his current status. It is impossible for him to do such an act of betraying Tianshidao.

"Of course not. If you win and go, it also represents the interests of the Celestial Master." Cao Xianfeng said.

Speaking of this, Cao Xianfeng couldn't help admiring Huangfuming.

This guy had already anticipated all of Zhu Xinglie's reactions.

In fact, they didn't intend to let Zhu Xinglie leave the way of heavenly master at all.

After all, competing for the world also requires capital.

Zhu Xinglie was poor and white, and he didn't have a thousand-year family accumulation, nor did he have a noble father-in-law.

All you can rely on is yourself.

Relying on him to fight alone is not enough to fight against other big forces.

Only by truly accepting the legacy of the Heavenly Master Dao can one compete with other great forces.

So you can't break away from the Tao of Heavenly Master.

But if you don't leave, you will be restrained by others, and then you will just make wedding dresses for others in vain.

So the only way to maintain autonomy is to let it go out, build a reputation, and build a mountain of our own.

"Okay, let's go fight then, I'm sorry brother." Zhu Xinglie stood up and clasped his fists.

Zhu Xinglie is also a restless person in his heart.

Having been an official for several years, he has already enjoyed the taste of power, so how could he let go so easily.

Now that the troubled times have dawned, it is the time when his generation is surprised.

This is not in conflict with the Tao of Heavenly Master.

Zhou Xuan is a person who knows people and makes good use of them. After he has made such achievements, he will not deprive himself of things.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xinglie was full of ambition.

In fact, he also has a desire to be elated.

The Tianshi Dao is also suppressed by other factions, and the last attack may have been planned by other factions.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xinglie swore secretly in his heart that when he gained power, he must find the mastermind behind the scenes and wring his head off severely in order to avenge his brother's murder.

In fact, what he didn't know was that most of these brothers around him came for a certain purpose.

One by one looks poor, but in fact the energy behind them is far more powerful than they imagined.

Under their operation, Zhu Xinglie finally came out on top, received by Zhou Xuan, and authorized him to go to Luoyang on behalf of him.

But he didn't give Zhu Xinglie a soldier or a horse, but promised to give him enough food and grass.

Under Zhu Xinglie's call, he actually pulled up a rebel army of 5000 people.

Zhou Xuan was not stingy either, with a wave of his big hand, he was able to create a sophisticated armor with swords and spears.

"Aren't you afraid that they will become popular? This group of people has such a great appeal." Lian Hongyu was surprised.

"It's okay, I suddenly changed my mind." Zhou Xuan said, "I'm going to Luoyang too, but I have to do it secretly."
