My uncles are all big guys

Chapter 348: Before fighting against the outside world, one must first make peace with the inside
After occupying three checkpoints, Wang Xiao did not order to continue the march, but began to strengthen the defense of the three checkpoints.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he knows in his heart how difficult the next battle will be. The ten legions under his command alone would not be able to accomplish the grand mission he had in mind.

Wang Xiao's next plan is to put Xiqi in order first.

Those who do nothing but eat should be driven away.

Not to mention any relatives, even Ji's family members took care of it.

Wang Xiao planned to take back the power of the princes affiliated to the Ji family with kindness and power, and each prince only had the title of honorable person.

In addition, land cultivation within Xiqi and the construction and selection of soldiers in various factories are all very urgent matters that need to be dealt with.

Di Xin doesn't wait for anyone.

It is estimated that after the news of the loss of three levels passed, the current Human Emperor could no longer sit still. Even if he did not lead a personal expedition, he would send heavy troops to attack it. He even heard that the Grand Master might come in person.

Therefore, Wang Xiao needed to put things in order internally before the troops of the Shang Dynasty came again.

Before fighting against the outside world, one must first settle the inside. If the inside is unstable, there will be a fart war.

"Why do you think the new king summoned us?"

In the Xiqi political hall, the princes who came from all over the country sat together and talked quietly.

One of them was asking his friend next to him about the intention of this meeting and wanted to get some information.

"What else can you do!"

The princes said calmly: "Your Majesty has already won three checkpoints, and the gate of the imperial court has been opened. Naturally, he summoned us to gather troops and horses to attack Chaoge City."

"Hehe!" The prince smiled when he heard this and whispered: "I have found out clearly that this king is very benevolent and tolerant towards the soldiers below."

"You said that if we help him capture Chaoge City and defeat Di Xin, what a huge reward he will give us, and will his current territory be doubled."

"Haha, maybe."

There are various discussions in the hall.

Some are thinking about the future, some are worried, and some don't care at all, sitting alone and looking at the surrounding furnishings.

"The king is here!"

There was a shout outside the door.

The princes who were talking in low voices stood up and saluted Wang Xiao who came in with Xiqi generals.

"Meet the king!"

Wang Xiao smiled and nodded, "Excuse me."

Such a gentle side instantly made those worried princes feel much more relaxed.

No matter what happens later, Wang Xiao's gentle expression will not be too bad at worst.

And more importantly, this king doesn't have that much airs.

Unlike when they visited Ji Fa, Ji Fa was sitting on top, and they were standing below.

In terms of dealing with people, this new king is much better than his uncle, and he is very kind-hearted like the co-owner of the ancient human race.

After everyone sat down, Wang Xiao smiled and said: "I have called you here today because I have something to inform you about the future development of Xiqi."

"Please tell me, Your Majesty. As long as we can do it, we will definitely obey Your Majesty's orders."

One representative stood up and smiled.

Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to signal the man to sit down, looked at everyone and said, "Now our Zhou army has defeated the Shang army and achieved a brilliant victory."

"Congratulations, king!"

Wang Xiao pressed his hand and asked everyone to sit down again, "Although we have won the victory, we all understand that this is only temporary. The king of Chaoge City will never take this bitter pill with his pride. "

Wang Xiao knocked on the table with a serious expression on his face: "There will be greater tests waiting for us in the future."

The princes nodded in agreement.

After starting the conversation, Wang Xiao changed the topic to more serious matters.

"In order to ensure that in the next tests, we can win one after another, and even finally overthrow the tyranny of King Zhou and establish a new ideal country, we in Xiqi must twist into a rope to withstand the coming storm. Heavy rain." The princes nodded in agreement again.

"You are all my elders. You have seen more scenes and experienced more things than I have known in just twenty years."

Wang Xiao complimented everyone, and the princes all showed happy smiles on their faces.

He stood up, held the table and looked at everyone: "As a junior, I won't talk nonsense, I will tell you bluntly."

The words finally came to their place.

Said someone looked at Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao showed a gentle smile and said in an unhurried voice: "I'm interested in your territory."

The scene was instantly quiet, and you could hear the needle drop.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

It was the same prince who spoke just now, frowning at Wang Xiao.

The smile on Wang Xiao's face did not diminish, and he said calmly to the princes: "The meaning is very simple. From today on, I will take back all your rights, including your territory."

"what!"

"That's unreasonable!"

"Huh, you're just digging your own grave!"

"You're a little kid with a yellow mouth. You dare to speak so brazenly. Even the late king respects us. You dare to take back our territory. You're so bold."

The princes who finally heard clearly got up in anger one by one, slapping the table in front of them and glaring at Wang Xiao angrily.

If the swords hadn't been taken away when they came in, there would have been someone with a bad temper who would have drawn his sword and wanted to fight Wang Xiao.

The fiefdom is their root and everything they hold on to in their struggle.

Wang Xiao wants to take them away now. This will not only cut off their road, but also dig up the roots of their family.

"Your Majesty!" It was the same prince who looked at Wang Xiao coldly and shouted.

"I call you king as my last respect to you. The fiefdom is our foundation, and it is the property passed down from our ancestors."

"If you just admitted it was a joke and bowed and apologized to us, we would just pretend we didn't hear anything."

"If you insist on doing it again, don't blame me for the crime of disrespect."

While the prince was still speaking politely, a grumpy prince shouted dissatisfied:
"What nonsense are you talking to him about? If he dares to rob my fiefdom, let him test whether the sword in my hand is sharp or not."

"You pissed me off. Believe it or not, we turned around and defected to King Zhou Dixin, causing your so-called great cause of Xiqi to fall apart in an instant."

"that is,………"

The angry shouts were enough to knock off the roof of the meeting hall.

Wang Xiao didn't care at all. He even picked up the water glass in front of him and tasted Wuyishan's big red robe.

"Everyone, please be quiet and let me talk to him."

Seeing that Wang Xiao ignored them, the prince knew that it was pointless to continue arguing like this, so he quickly turned around and asked everyone to be quiet, and let him speak on behalf of everyone.

This man had some prestige. When the princes saw him speaking, they all fell silent and stared at Wang Xiao angrily.

"Your Majesty, don't you know the consequences of this matter?"

The princes angrily questioned Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao held the lid and blew on the hot tea. He did not answer the princes' questions, but said leisurely: "I have connections in Jiuyou Underworld."

The prince frowned, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xiao smiled and did not answer. Xiao Kun, who was responsible for protecting Wang Xiao next to him, snorted disdainfully and said: "It's not obvious yet. Listen to my king, although you don't have a fief, it can make you prosperous and wealthy." Live a lifetime."

"But if you dare not listen, or even jump up to resist, not only will your life not be saved, but you will also not be able to live well in the underworld after death."

"Eighteen Hells, Netherworld Blood Sea, Nine Nether Hells, let alone mortals, even gods will tremble when entering these places. You must think carefully."
