Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 150 Conversation
On the sixth day, Chu Qingyan and Chu Junyan had already left without knowing it.

In the past few days, Ma Chao and Zhong Limei each led a group of armies to sweep through the counties of Zhongrong Mansion. The counties followed the Wang family and surrendered one by one.

Li Yuan, who was still in Chiying City, received Wu Yao's letter of surrender.

In the house, Li Yuan frowned slightly when he saw the contents of the letter, showing a look of embarrassment.

"Wenhe, the King of Linghong Mansion and Lingcang Mansion want it, but the King of Zhongyitang doesn't want to accept it. What should I do?"

When Jia Xu heard Li Yuan's words, she lightly shook her feather fan and smiled very kindly:

"Your Highness, the Zhongrong Mansion is already under control. We can divide most of our troops into Linghong Mansion. As for the rest of the Loyalty Hall's people taking refuge in His Highness, it is His Highness's approval, and we can publicize it.

As for Wu Yao and Chen Feihai, the two flag owners and some rudder owners, it is better to wait until we arrive at Linghong Mansion. The enemy killed it. "

Li Yuan nodded slowly, looked at Zhao Gao in the corner a little unconfidently, and asked:

"Zhao Gao, which one do you think comes first, tomorrow or the accident?"

"I think the accident comes first." Zhao Gao respectfully said in the corner.

"Deeply lonely!"

At this time, a guard outside the door reported:

"Your Highness, someone wants to see you!"

"Oh?"

"Is it possible to declare your identity?"

Li Yuan and Jia Xu looked at each other, and there was a flash of doubt, who would look for him at this time?

"Report Your Highness, they say they are from Huanzhou."

"Huanzhou?"

"Invite them in."

Zhao Gao in the corner lowered his head, and the dark red figure slowly disappeared.

Soon, a group of people stepped into the lobby.

At the first glance, Li Yuan focused his eyes on the woman in red. She has slender and powerful long legs, and her figure is undulating, like a continuous landscape, with a few strands of hair floating to her ears. She has a stunning face and clear eyebrows. But faintly revealed a heroic spirit.

I saw the woman's movements were capable and sharp, and she clasped her fists to Li Yuan who was on the main seat and saluted:
"Xu Fengwu pays homage to King Chu!"

Li Yuan's heart moved, but his face remained unchanged, his tone was very calm, and he even smiled:
"Miss Xu from the Black Flood Dragon Gang, I don't know what's going on today's visit?"

Jia Xu's eyes flashed, then she lowered her eyebrows and sat quietly.

Xu Fengwu smiled and said softly:
"I heard that the king of Chu is very handsome and majestic. However, he has not yet established a concubine, so he is here to propose marriage!"

"Please!"

Not only Li Yuan and Jia Xu, but even the people behind Xu Fengwu were shocked.

"I don't know who Miss Xu is asking for?"

"It's the little girl!"

The two asked and answered, and the lobby fell into silence.

This made Li Yuan a little confused. Is he being proposed by others?

It is said that the Black Flood Dragon Gang is joining forces with other forces to deal with King Ming, and they are all enemies in terms of emotion and reason.

But the sudden marriage of the Black Flood Dragon Gang to the royal family is a bit subtle.

Xu Fengwu's face remained unchanged, and she still looked at Li Yuan with a faint smile, as if she wasn't the one who proposed.

And Li Yuan's unmarried concubine had just left.

"Your Highness, Mr. Xun please see me!"

The silence in the lobby was broken, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xu Fengwu:

"Miss Xu, I still have important matters to attend to, why don't we talk about it another day."

"The King of Chu is always busy, and it is the little girl who disturbed her. However, the little girl has just entered Chiying City and has no place to stay. I implore His Highness to help you find a place to live."

"It's natural."

Li Yuan asked the guards who reported to take them down to find a place to live.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Fengwu didn't procrastinate at all, and brought everyone to leave with the guards.

As soon as Xu Fengwu left the gate, he saw Xun Yu walking in.

Xu Fengwu met Xun Yu's scrutinizing eyes, smiled calmly, and nodded slightly at him.

Li Yuan looked at Xu Fengwu's leaving figure, and nodded slightly to Xun Yu who came in.

"Interesting, isn't Xu Fengwu afraid that the Black Flood Dragon Gang will be retaliated by Huanzhou Alliance and Fengzhou Alliance?"

"Xu Fengwu? Miss Heijiao Gang?"

Xun Yu immediately knew the identity of the woman just now, looked at Jia Xu and asked:

"The Black Flood Dragon Gang wants to cooperate with us?"

"It's not cooperation, but marriage!" Jia Xu laughed.

"Marriage? Miss Xu and Your Highness?" Xun Yu flashed a bright light, then nodded slowly:

"interesting."

"It seems that there is a problem in the Huanzhou League that we don't know about."

The two counselors asked and answered, and then looked at Li Yuan.

At this moment, Zhao Gao in the corner also appeared, with a cold look in his eyes:

"Your Highness, the people in the Zhongyi Hall have just received news that the Black Flood Dragon Gang has contacted Wu Yao, and Wu Yao's second way is to join the Black Flood Dragon Gang."

"Have the Black Flood Dragon Gang found Wu Yao?"

Jia Xu's eyes moved, "Then will other forces also invade Lingzhou?"

Xun Yu nodded slowly: "The Ximen family!"

"These forces want to capture Lingzhou and encircle Yizhou."

"Because there were many forces in Lingzhou before, it was not easy for them to intervene, and they were afraid of being jointly targeted. But now Lingzhou is left with only our Chu Palace and the Ximen family who suffered heavy losses. It is the best time for them to invade."

At this moment, Zhao Gao frowned and said: "The net tracked the departure of Ximen family members the day before yesterday, but after they entered Huanzhou, their whereabouts disappeared."

Li Yuan showed a sense of urgency, and it will take time to control Lingzhou.

"It seems that Xu Fengwu should know a lot of news."

Jia Xu and Xun Yu looked at each other, and Xun Yu saluted respectfully:

"Your Highness, if the Black Flood Dragon Gang can join us, it will not only reduce the pressure on King Ming, but also help us block the invasion of Huanzhou forces, and we can also invade Huanzhou in the future."

"But is this the meaning of the Black Flood Dragon Gang, or Xu Fengwu's personal meaning?"

Li Yuan just noticed the surprised eyes of everyone in the Black Jiao Gang behind Xu Fengwu.

………………

In a large courtyard not far from the Chu Mansion, Xu Fengwu's strong men guarded the surrounding area, and the venerable woman was frowning and asking Xu Fengwu.

"Miss, if you make decisions like this without authorization, the leader will be angry."

This female venerable is more than 100 years old, with a middle-aged appearance, and has taken care of Xu Fengwu since childhood.

"Aunt Shan, what do you think is the future of the Black Flood Dragon Gang?"

"Then you shouldn't make decisions on your own. If the alliance forces find out, our Black Flood Dragon Gang will cause public outrage, especially the Zhou family."

"Hehe, the Zhou family, my stupid younger brothers really want me to marry Zhou Yan, and gradually weaken my prestige in the Black Dragon Gang."

Zhou Yan, the young master of the Zhou family, the top family in Huanzhou.

Xu Kuang, the leader of the Black Jiao Gang, has three daughters and seven sons. Xu Fengwu has never lost to a man since he was a child.

Aunt Shan knew that Xu Fengwu had her own strategic ideas, but she couldn't help but said:
"I know you don't like Zhou Yan, but you can't look for someone from the royal family. King Chu is our opponent."

"opponent?"

"Which force in this troubled world is not our potential opponent." Xu Fengwu chuckled, not caring.

"But the royal family is our common enemy. Only by overthrowing the royal family can we establish ourselves as kings and control our territories."

Aunt Shan continued to persuade, obviously extremely disapproving of Xu Fengwu's decision.

"Overthrow the royal family, can you?"

Xu Fengwu's calm eyes flashed coldly:

"In the beginning, the plans of various forces have been deciphered by Emperor Yu. Now Emperor Yu is dead, but the four targets he set are still there. Which state do you think has defeated the four kings now?

Every force wants to preserve their strength and let other forces rush ahead. Now, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it is to the four kings. "

Thinking of this, Xu Fengwu's inner thoughts became more and more determined. If all the forces had no reservations at the beginning and sent out all their strength to destroy the four kings, even if they could not directly solve the four kings, they could completely suppress the four kings and eliminate one or two kings.

But they knew that this method was the fastest and most direct, but they couldn't work together. They all wanted to preserve their strength and stay in the final battle for hegemony.

As a result, the four kings have not yet been destroyed, the township mansion has not been released, and the imperial court appeases the neighboring state capitals of Tianzhou. The combined strength of the various forces is indeed stronger than the royal family, but can they be united?

"Miss, you should know better than me. Now it's a stage of testing each other, and the battle will become more and more intensified. The surroundings of the four kings have been locked up. Our rear forces are constantly increasing. Sooner or later, the four kings will be eliminated."

"Is it related to me?"

Xu Fengwu's expression was indifferent, "In my father's eyes, I will marry sooner or later. Even if the royal family is overthrown, and the lords of all forces will become kings themselves, I will not be a concubine in the future!"

"Then why don't I go directly to King Chu and become his concubine!"

"Then why are you looking for the King of Chu?" Aunt Shan was even more puzzled. Even though the King of Chu had defeated Chu Junyan now, his strength was far inferior to the other three kings.

However, the four venerables are not enough to guard a state, so how can they attack other states.

If you want to find it, you might as well find King Ming!

If King Ming married the Black Flood Dragon Gang, at least the Zhou family could be expelled.

Xu Fengwu's eyes twinkled, full of heroism:

"The other three kings all have forces behind them to support them, and they already have their main concubines, so should I still be a side concubine?
Among the four kings, only King Chu has no power to support, and Chu Qingyan has already left, it is doomed to be impossible, he is my best choice! "

"What about the gang leader?"

Now that Aunt Shan knows that Xu Fengwu has made up her mind, she will not change, her eyes are anxious, if the alliance finds out, what if they counterattack the Black Flood Dragon Gang first?
Xu Fengwu lifted the jade cup lightly, took a sip of tea, and said calmly:

"Actually, my father allowed me to go to Lingzhou. He has already guessed and acquiesced, as long as he is given an acceptable condition, the way to leave the alliance."

Aunt Shan was shocked and asked:
"So how do we break away from the alliance without being countered by them?"

"You need to ask the king of Chu."

A beautiful smile appeared on Xu Fengwu's delicate face.

………………

With the departure of Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan, the most influential one was King Xuan.

"Old Fifth, Old Fifth, you have created a problem for Brother Huang."

In a large city in Danzhou, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and a faint smell of blood wafted in the air. It was obvious that a war had just been experienced.

Knowing that Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan had left Lingzhou with more than [-] elite soldiers, King Xuan showed a helpless smile.

But he was not angry, because if he was in Li Yuan's place, he would let them go and save his vitality.

It will take at least two months for Chu Junyan to rush back to Zhaozhou from Lingzhou. Two months is enough to change many things. He still has time to prepare.

"Xingyu, when do you think the fifth child will join hands with the second child?"

Behind King Xuan, there were two people following him in the mansion corridor.

One of the literati lightly folded the fan and responded:

"According to the current strength of the King of Chu, even if there is no interference from other forces, it will take at least a year to control Lingzhou, and troops can only be sent after Lingzhou is stabilized."

"One year..."

King Xuan shook his head slowly, it was too slow.

"I don't know how many talents the father left for the fifth child?"

King Xuan apparently also suspected that Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Zhong Limei and others were left to Li Yuan by Emperor Yu.

The information and intelligence of Li Yuan's generals and counselors are placed in front of the various forces to analyze them.

It's okay for counselors and literati.

However, generals like Zhong Limei and Ma Chao who are in the Heavenly Martial Realm need to be trained to grow, and they will be able to command the army as soon as they appear.

Lu Xingyu bowed his head in silence, he could just listen to this kind of words, who would dare to talk nonsense about the former emperor, and he still doesn't know if the King of Chu can make it to the end, and it won't be too late to discuss it when he becomes an opponent.

And King Xuan was not envious, he had many servants and generals under his command, he was just lamenting Yuhuang's methods.

"Your Highness, Chu Junyan is about to return. The Danzhou Alliance seems to be in contact with Zhen Guofu more frequently. After Chu Junyan returns, Zhen Guofu is likely to send troops."

The speaker was another counselor named Yan Hong, with a medium build and ordinary appearance, but with a special temperament.

King Xuan's brows showed solemnity, the mountain of Zhen Guo Mansion was always on his heart, and he couldn't allow him to be sloppy.

"If Chu Junyan returns, where do you think the Zhen Guofu will take action?"

"Qingzhou!" Lu Xingyu said firmly.

Yan Hong on the other side also affirmed: "When Chu Junyan is on his way to Qingzhou, it is very likely that he will enter Qingzhou with the Zhen Guofu on both sides!"

Of the twelve prefectures of the Dayu Dynasty, Zhongzhou is located in the center and is adjacent to five prefectures.

They are Lianzhou in the east, Fengzhou in the south, Yangzhou in the north, Yanzhou in the northwest and Qingzhou in the southwest.

Beyond Qingzhou is Danzhou.

Zhaozhou is located between Qingzhou, Danzhou and Yanzhou.

Because Zhaozhou has Zhen Guofu, the big forces in Yanzhou dare not cross into Zhaozhou and come to Danzhou to deal with King Xuan.

Now Qingzhou, which is relying on King Xuan, is fully holding back the attack of Yanzhou forces.

The interior of Qingzhou is empty. If the Zhen Guofu sends troops to join forces with Chu Junyan to attack, Qingzhou will be in danger.

If Zhen Guofu takes Qingzhou, Danzhou will be surrounded by Zhen Guofu.

King Xuan frowned, it was indeed a difficult problem.

"Since the Zhen Guo Mansion has not taken the bait during this period of time, it's time for us to wipe out these rebels in Danzhou!"

Lu Xingyu and Yan Hong looked at each other and nodded.

"Now the He family and the Yuehai Pavilion, the hermit families of the Danzhou Alliance, have secretly joined us. As long as we think about it, we can win or lose in a single battle."

There are a total of five major forces in Danzhou, and the weakest of the five forces, Yuehai Pavilion, is comparable to the Ximen family.

King Xuan was not happy when he heard Lu Xingyu's words, "But how should the Zhen Guo Mansion be on guard? If the army of the Zhen Guo Mansion suddenly appears in a big battle, the consequences will be very serious."

Lu Xingyu also frowned, which was why they hadn't resolved the Danzhou Alliance for so long.

And Yan Hong had thought about this problem a long time ago, so he was quite confident:
"Your Highness, it's time for us to find King Yu to cooperate."

On the other side of Yanzhou is Yangzhou, and on the other side of Yangzhou is Liangzhou where King Yu is located.

On the surface, half of the forces in Yangzhou support Yuwang.
