Alien Summoning System

Chapter 379

"Your Majesty, first pacify the southeast, and then fight Xiqi. By doing this, won't you tell the world that we are afraid of Xiqi?" In the palace, Wen Zhong didn't approve of Zhuo Ao's strategy and asked with a frown.

"I'm afraid there is nothing shameful. As long as we win in the end, people in the world will only say us. Judging from the current situation, if we directly start a war with Xiqi, if we can't succeed in the first battle, the two princes behind will definitely take advantage of the fire. At that time, We are facing enemies from both sides, Grand Master has experienced many battles, dare to ask Grand Master, how confident are you that we can defeat Xiqi in one battle?"

Wen Zhong frowned slightly. Among the princes in the four directions, Xiqi was the most powerful. Later, Xiqi attacked Chonghouhu and took the land in the north. For many years, I naturally knew that it was almost impossible to defeat Xiqi in a single battle.

"We need a stable rear." Zhuo Ao shook his head, looking at the mountains and rivers on the sand table: "Although the southeastern land is far less prosperous than Xiqi and Chaoge, if we can take it back, it will not only stabilize the rear , Soldiers from Youhun Pass and Sanshan Pass can also spare their hands to fight against Xiqi together. These soldiers and horses have been battle-hardened for a long time, and their combat power is far beyond the comparison of soldiers and horses from other places."

"It's just that I don't know where the king will start?" Wen Zhong didn't insist anymore, but there was a war together, and the southeast and southeast were all big princes. It would take a long time to end the battle. How could Xiqi sit back and watch his allies be destroyed?They will definitely send troops to attack, and at that time, they will still be attacked by the enemy.

"This battle should be decided quickly, I am going to carry it out in two places at the same time." Zhuo Ao said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible!" Wen Zhong shook his head and said, "The princes of the two sides have invaded the border for many years, and their strength is quite strong. Repeatedly at the hands of Jiang Wenhuan, he only dared to defend against the city, but did not dare to go out, his strength is so strong, it is really unwise to want to fight on two fronts at the same time."

"Therefore, these two people must die!" Zhuo Ao knocked on the sand table and said, "E Shunzhi is very talented, impulsive and irritable, but there is nothing to be afraid of, it's just that Jiang Wenhuan..."

Zhuo Ao thought about the information about Jiang Wenhuan that Huang Feihu helped him collect these days, and narrowed his eyes slightly. Judging from the information, Jiang Wenhuan was not brave or foolhardy, on the contrary, he was still a very difficult opponent. Over the past few years, they have rarely attacked Youhun Pass head-on, but they have blossomed everywhere, making the generals of the towns in the east fearful, and successfully attracting the attention of the Shang Dynasty to Youhun Pass.

Judging from Zhuo Ao's strategic vision, Jiang Wenhuan had no less than ten chances to break through the Wandering Soul Gate in these years, but he let it go. Shen, the title of "Yong Guan Sanjun" is just a cover, but in fact there is treachery hidden inside. The reason why he has not broken through the Wandering Soul Pass is not because of how powerful Dou Rong is, but because Jiang Wenhuan knows that once he breaks the Wandering Soul Pass, he will be defeated. Well, what he has to face is also the joint crusade of the princes of the world, but because of the hatred of the country and the family, he has to make such a gesture.

"The city is quite deep." In the end, Zhuo Ao gave these four words of evaluation.

Wen Zhong frowned and said, "Since Your Majesty knows it, why do you still insist on doing this?"

"Time doesn't wait!" Zhuo Ao clenched his fists and said, "Xiqi's intention to send troops has been clearly revealed. With Jiang Wenhuan's ability, he will definitely stab us in the back at the most critical moment. This cancer must be removed. .”

"Does your majesty have a plan?" Wen Zhong asked.

Zhuo Ao nodded, pointed in the direction of Sanshan Pass and said: "There is a small road here, which can go straight to the southern hinterland. I have ordered people to prepare [-] elites here. At that time, Deng Jiugong only needs to take the initiative to fight to attract the soldiers from the South Route. Horse, take the opportunity to kill and cut off its retreat, Eshun can be fixed, as for Jiang Wenhuan..."

Zhuo Ao looked at the two of them and said: "I am going to solve it myself."

"Your Majesty with a body of ten thousand gold, how can you go into a dangerous place in person!?" Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu said in shock.

"It's not what I want, it's just that in the court, apart from me and the grand master, I'm afraid no one can take care of this person." Zhuo Ao shook his head, and before Wen Zhong could speak, he said, "It's just that the grand master's record is outstanding, no matter Xiqi or Jiang Wen Huan, everyone regards the grand master as the enemy, and countless pairs of eyes pay attention to the grand master's words and deeds, but no one cares about the stupid king like me."

"Your Majesty is sage and wise, and you are a wise king in the world. One day, the world will know how powerful your Majesty is." Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu bowed and said, this is not flattery. A long time ago, the king was also a mighty general who was good at fighting. When Emperor Yi chose King Zhou as his successor, he liked King Zhou because he was capable of both civil and military skills and could hold down a group of tiger and wolf officials.

But people in the world have forgotten it, but Wen Zhong will not forget it.

"A foolish ruler is a foolish ruler. The more people in the world think that I can't do it, the more I can confuse people in the world." Zhuo Ao shook his head and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will take care of my illness in the palace, and the grand master can bring all the officials to visit. The grand master sits in Chaoge and mobilizes the four directions, and King Wucheng hastened to improve the defense of the five sense organs, no matter how provocative Xiqi is, he must not send troops easily."

"Your minister receives the decree!" Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu said solemnly.

"I don't know how many troops your Majesty is going to bring with you?" Wen Zhong asked.

"Soldiers are expensive and fast, and you have to hide them from the eyes and ears of the world, so this time I am not planning to send troops from Chaoge." Zhuo Ao shook his head and said, sending troops from Chaoge, it would take several months to come and go, so what kind of soldiers is that? Your god speed.

Wen Zhong nodded and said: "Chentangguan Li Jing and the veteran Lu Xiong are both good fighters and are quite loyal to the King. The old man will send a letter to the two of them and try his best to assist the King."

"There are two of them, it's enough." Zhuo Ao nodded, as for the future martial arts star Dou Rong, Zhuo Ao had already seen his abilities in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, it was really not that good.

The three discussed the details again, and Zhuo Ao left two jade pendants for Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu to facilitate contact, and then Zhuo Ao returned to Shouxian Palace to make preparations. ventilation.

Early the next morning, all the officials went to court, but they got the bad news that Zhuo Ao had fallen ill. Wen Zhong immediately led all the officials to Shouxian Palace to greet him. Crying in a low voice beside the bed, on the cloud bed, Zhuo Ao's face was like gold paper, his breath was faintly present.

"Prince doctor, what's the reason?" Wen Zhong frowned and looked at the doctor beside him, and asked in a deep voice.

"This is a disease of mental exhaustion." The imperial physician shook his head, looked at the ministers and said, "During this time, your majesty has been working day and night on state affairs to make up for the rest. I just asked the queen. Your Majesty has been devoting all his energy to this time. Even at night, I also often review memorials, so..."

"Enough!" Zhuo Ao stood up with Huang Fei's support, leaned on the edge of the bed, waved his hands, "Go down first."

"Yes." The imperial physician bowed and said goodbye.

"Your Majesty, although state affairs are important, you should also take care of your dragon's body." Doctor Wei Ziqi shook his head and sighed.

"I also know about this matter." Zhuo Ao nodded and said: "Just now the imperial doctor said that this disease needs to be recuperated in peace of mind. It can be cured within three months at least, or half a year at the longest. Suffering, I really can't worry about it."

Wei Ziqi frowned, it was no secret that Xiqi frequently mobilized troops and horses, but if Zhuo Ao died at this time, then Chengtang Jiye would disappear, this was definitely not what they wanted to see, and he bowed and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty To recuperate from illness, we, as merchants, should share the worries of the king."

Zhuo Ao nodded, looked at Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu and said: "The grand master and King Wu Cheng are important ministers of the former king Tuo Gu. Although I can't manage the affairs now, all the people in the world must be left alone for a day. During my recuperation, I will be taken care of by you The Grand Master temporarily takes over the government, and King Wucheng is in charge of Wuguan. If Xiqi leads troops to attack, you only need to guard the city carefully and do not send troops to confront them. All decisions will be made when I recover from my illness."

It seems that it was a very dangerous decision, Zhuo Ao almost entrusted the entire military administration to the two, but if the two of them had the slightest disobedience in their hearts, they could make a fake show and make Zhuo Ao empty.

But in fact, Zhuo Ao knew that the chance of such a situation was not high. Although Wen Zhong had high prestige, he never formed a clique and kept a distance from the courtiers. For the matter, Zhuo Ao first worshiped the wife of King Wu Cheng, Jia Shi, as his sister-in-law, and was named Princess Wannian, and bestowed the dragon and phoenix sword. Huang Tianhua's matter, if it was someone else, he would have been copied and killed by others, but Zhuo Ao was relaxed. Released, and then made Huang Fei the queen.

It seems to be honored and favored, but in fact, it has gradually pulled King Wu Cheng away from the camp of hundreds of officials. Wherever there are people, there will be struggles, let alone a place like the court. Why is Fei Zhongyouhun scolded by the people? Hundreds of officials detested.

Although what the two of them did was really chilling, it was also because they were favored by King Zhou, and they were able to do things that other people could not do, which invisibly caused a lot of hatred. He didn't know how to restrain himself, and finally became the target of public criticism. Now Huang Feihu is also like this. Although he is favored, he has been pushed to the cusp of the storm step by step by Zhuo Ao invisibly.

This is the balance that Zhuo Ao has established in less than two months, but this balance is also the result of the slavery of the officials, so no one will blame Zhuo Ao, but if Huang Feihu has any disobedience during this period Heart, not to mention Wen Zhong, all officials will restrict him to death.

As for Huang Feihu himself, although he has prestige, he can only be regarded as an admiral in terms of ability, and he is still far from a famous general. This is why Zhuo Ao trusts him to use him.

"The ministers will live up to your majesty's entrustment, please rest in peace, your majesty, but if you have a minister, you will not let Xiqi invade half an inch of my territory." Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu hurriedly bowed down.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, everyone, please step back, if there is something important, you can come to Shouxian Palace and let me know." Zhuo Ao waved his hand.

"The ministers will leave." After saluting again, all the ministers retreated. In the huge palace, only Concubine Huang was left alone by Zhuo Ao's side, never leaving her.

"My dear concubine, don't cry." After the officials left, Zhuo Ao's pale face disappeared, and he got down from the cloud bed.

"Your Majesty, you..." Concubine Huang looked at Zhuo Ao who was full of energy in disbelief, and it was hard to imagine that he was still as angry as before a quarter of an hour ago.

"I still need the cooperation of my concubine in this matter, but I just kept it from my concubine because I was afraid that the officials would see the clue." Zhuo Ao laughed.

"Your Majesty is in good health, and the concubines will be content."

"I still need the help of Concubine Ai for this matter." Zhuo Ao looked at Concubine Huang and said with a smile.
