Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

"The world is destined to be unified by Chu State, and no one can stop Kou Zhong's army."

"I would like to persuade you to submit to the Chu State and use the two counties of Liyang and Zhongli and an army of [-] as capital."

"Since Kou Zhong was able to make the former King of the Sui Dynasty a Marquis of the Sui Dynasty, there is no reason why he can't grant you the title of a Marquis. He may even allow us to lead troops again."

"At that time, in the new Chu Dynasty, who can guarantee that we will not be able to become the Duke of the country?"

Looking at Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyou said in a deep voice.

Fu Gong'er is not only Du Fuwei's life and death friend, but also Du Fuwei's eldest brother.

When he was a child, Fu Gong'er's family was not in a bad situation. Seeing that Du Fuwei was living in distress, he often stole sheep from his aunt's house and gave them to Du Fuwei. The aunt's sheep were stolen one after another and finally got annoyed and sued them to the government.Seeing that the situation was not going well, the two brothers ran away and became bandits from then on. They were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Along the way, they supported each other and had a deep relationship.

"Since the elder brother said it, the younger brother agreed to it."

"Send a message to Gui Xiliang and Xingrong, saying that we are willing to hand over the two counties."

"Just say that we are willing to submit to the Chu Kingdom."

After pondering, Du Fuwei gritted his teeth and made this decision.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

After hearing this, Fu Gongyou and Zuo Youxian both had smiles on their faces.

Now, they finally have the qualifications to advance. After joining the Chu Kingdom, Du Fuwei will naturally receive preferential treatment, and they will also receive rewards. This is killing two birds with one stone, why not? .

Chapter 98: Take all Jiangdong and get two out of five points in the world!

Daye 13, early April.

Far away in the east of the Yangtze River, Shen Luoyan, the military commander of the Chu State, mobilized a total of 20 troops from the Donghai Navy and the Hengbo Army to the north from Yuhang County, and simultaneously attacked Liu Yuanjin of Wu County and Shen Faxing of Piling County, setting off the prelude to Chu's attack on Jiangdong.

"Brothers, kill!"

On the bank of the river, thousands of Donghai Navy ships docked at the shore. Donghai soldiers holding horizontal swords and wearing leather armor rushed towards the Sui army on the opposite side.

Shen Faxing was originally the governor of Wuxing County in the Sui Dynasty, but was ordered by Yang Guang to be transferred to Piling County to attack the Dongyang thief Lou Shiqian, so he entered Piling County and cooperated with Pilingtong to guard the road and clean up the place. Although he still obeyed the general The Sui Dynasty issued orders, but already had a separatist attitude.

After all, the Shen family has been operating in Jiangdong for many years, and there are thousands of them just by their surname. It is still easy to get things done.

Unexpectedly, Shen Faxing did not wait for the opportunity, but what he waited for was the ruthless conquest of the Chu army.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Feather arrows all over the sky passed over the heads of the two armies and fell.

There were cries of killing everywhere, and blood stained the wealthy county town of Piling red.

One hundred thousand Chu troops and tens of thousands of Sui troops fought fiercely on the narrow river bank. The two sides went back and forth, refusing to give in to each other.

As time went by, the Chu navy only carried horizontal swords and bows and crossbows. In frontal combat, they were restrained by the Sui army's spears and shields and fell into anxiety.

"Sister Shen!"

"It seems that Shen Faxing is not weak at all!"

Shan Wanjing, the little princess of the Dongming faction, looked at the battlefield in front of her with interest and commented.

"It's not Shen Faxing, but Pi Lingtong who keeps the road and morals."

"This man is cautious by nature and uses his troops without leakage."

Staring ahead, Shen Luoyan's face was filled with coldness, and he softly called out: "Qingyun."

"Let! Lek!"

Accompanied by the unique sound of a horse, a snow-white beast with a dog head and arms, a long neck and a light body appeared in front of Shen Luoyan.

Perhaps because of the Pegasus bloodline, all Pegasus that have returned to their ancestors are all white, without any mottled colors at all.

Shan Wanjing looked at the Pegasus in front of her, with little stars in her eyes.

At this time, Shen Luoyan put on white armor, held an eight-sided Han sword, sat on the back of the Pegasus, and shouted sternly: "Xuan Yong, take the people and kill me!"

"Yes!"

Xuanyong, the leader of the Ruijie, responded loudly.

The five thousand Donghai warriors behind him all held large Miao swords, with fire in their eyes, following Shen Luoyan and joining the battlefield.

"Whoa!"

Shen Luoyan, who was riding a Pegasus, looked like the wind. He slashed down with a sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow. All the Sui troops around him turned into corpses of flesh and blood.

Five thousand warriors from the East China Sea strode forward along the passage she opened, forcibly carving a way out of the chaotic battlefield.

Wherever he passed, corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers, which no one could stop.

"Brother!"

"Look there!"

Shen Faxing's younger brother Shen Fazheng suddenly shouted loudly, startling Shen Faxing who was fighting.

When Shen Faxing came back to his senses, he could not help but feel horrified when he saw the five thousand Donghai warriors suddenly appearing on the battlefield like chopping melons and vegetables.

The leader was actually a female general in white armor, and her eight-sided Han sword was extremely ferocious, heading straight for her own central army.

"Second brother, bring someone with me to stop her!"

Shen Faxing's expression changed drastically, and he shouted as he faced Shen Luoyan.

If they don't stop Shen Luoyan quickly, as long as five thousand Donghai warriors kill through the entire battlefield, they will all be doomed.

"Humph!"

"A mantis arm is a car, beyond its own power!"

Shen Luoyan, who was charging, saw a hint of disdain on Shen Faxing's pretty face.

'The Thirteen Deadly Swords! '

I saw her holding the reins with one hand, and the Pegasus marched forward as if it were treading on flat ground. Any Sui troops blocking the way were knocked away.

Shen Luoyan poured all his Taixuan Qi into the sword body while on horseback. A cold sword Qi was born out of thin air, and thirteen swords burst out one after another. The sword was aimed at Shen Faxing's weak spot, leaving him with no time to fight back.

"Huh?〃~!"

With a shrill scream, Shen Faxing didn't even block Shen Luoyan's move and was killed immediately.

"Brother!"

"father!"

Shen Fazheng and Shen Lun on the side wanted to step forward to rescue them, but were killed by Shen Luoyan with a sword.

In this way, the entire Sui army was completely defeated by five thousand Donghai warriors. Piling County's road guard Shen Tong committed suicide directly in front of the formation. All thirty thousand Sui soldiers knelt down and surrendered.

On this day, the Chu army took control of Piling and then captured Danyang. The south of the river was connected. With the surrender of Du Fuwei's troops, there was only one Jiangdu County in the Jianghuai area that had not been controlled by Chu. The rest were all fell into the hands of Chu State.

.....

Daye 13th May [-]st.

Chang'an, Daxing Palace.

Early summer is approaching, and the city of Chang'an is gradually getting warmer. Especially since Daxing Palace is located in the lowest depression in the city, it is even more humid and hot. A great master like Kou Zhong can regulate himself with Gang Qi, but ordinary people can't. Grandmasters and even Houtian realm warriors couldn't bear it.

"Old Chen, Senior Lu, the Evil King!"

"I called a few people here today, mainly to discuss the construction of the new palace."

"Daxing Palace, as the seat of the former dynasty, is old in many places, and the terrain is low-lying, making it uninhabitable."

"After Chu unified the world, Gu planned to make Chang'an his capital and establish four prefectures, namely Jingzhao Prefecture, Luoyang Prefecture, and Yangzhou Prefecture."

"Therefore, Chang'an, as the capital of the new dynasty, needs to be carefully planned for the residence of Gu and his concubines."

Looking at the three of them, Kou Zhong said gently.

This idea was confirmed by him after careful consideration. Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jiangdu themselves are densely populated places, and they have gathered wealthy businessmen from all over. There are natural foundations and conditions for economic development.

However, Chang'an was to the west, closer to the Western Regions, Central Asia and even Europe, and was more suitable as the center for Chu to rule the entire world.

However, the hasty establishment of Luoyang and Jiangdu will inevitably cause turmoil, and Chang'an is not suitable for the influx of too many people to live, which will cause the eight hundred miles of fertile land in Guanzhong to be overdrawn and exhausted in advance.

Now, the establishment of Jingzhao Mansion covers most of the Guanzhong Plain area.

Then Luoyang Prefecture was established in Luoyang, and Yangzhou Prefecture was established in Jiangdu, which was equivalent to the municipality directly under the Central Government in later generations, and could give full play to their location advantages.

"Since your Majesty has talked about this, let's discuss it."

"How is Shi Zhixuan's daughter better than my daughter? Why did my daughter meet the king first, but his daughter became his wife instead."

Lu Miaozi looked at Kou Zhong with an unkind expression, and glanced at Shi Zhixuan from time to time.

This is why Shi Zhixuan is now in a peaceful mood, and with Shi Qingxuan by his side, his temperament has become much docile.

If he had put it before, he would not have had a fight with Lu Miaozi.

"senior!"

"Should I ask Xiu Xun's opinion first on this matter?"

Kou Zhong said helplessly.

He can't just give this thing to anyone he wants, he has to consider whether they are willing or not.

Moreover, according to Zhou rites, the king has one main concubine and two concubines, and the rest are all concubines. Now, Song Yuhua, Wanwan, and Shi Qingxuan alone have three wives, and he has no plans to name them concubines.

"I am her father. I can make the decision. You can decide whether to give it to Madam or not."

Lu Miaozi ignored Kou Zhong and directly blocked his words.

At this time, even Shi Zhixuan and Chen Laomou looked at Kou Zhong without blinking. It was obvious that they were extremely concerned about the concubine.

Facing the looks of several people, Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, I can give it, but there are some things I'd better explain clearly first."

"I don't want to be named a concubine for the time being, but after unifying the world, there will be no queen, only six noble concubines."

"The wife promised today will be the imperial concubine in the future. What do Senior Lu, Evil King, and Elder Chen think?"

"Very good!"

After thinking about it, Lu Miaozi and Shi Zhixuan were both satisfied.

If there is no queen, the noble concubine is the highest. Shang Xiuxun, Shi Qingxuan, Wanwan, and Song Yuhua can all be noble concubines. They don't care who the remaining two are given to.

"The matter has been decided like this. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will select a day to go to each government to recruit people and welcome Xiuxun, Qingxuan and Wanwan into the palace."

After looking at the two of them, Kou Zhong said again.

"Can!"

Neither Lu Miaozi nor Shi Zhixuan had any objections to this.

Since sooner or later they have to get married, get married early, and have children early, how nice it would be for them to be grandfathers.

"Yes."

Chen Laomou, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, happily accepted the order.

There is naturally no shortage of ordinary gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade, but if Kou Zhong wants to hire someone, he naturally needs to prepare some elixirs.

Several batches of red fruits, ginseng, fleece-flower root, snow lotus, and ganoderma have been ripened in the imperial garden, and there is no shortage of them, all of which are hundreds of years old.

"Where do you plan to put the new palace?"

At this time, Lu Miaozi had entered the topic and asked.

"Longshouyuan, I want to build an imperial palace in Longshouyuan, an imperial palace bigger than Daxing Palace!"

Looking at the few people, Kou Zhong did not hide his inner ambition at all and expressed his thoughts without hesitation.

In a broad sense, Longshouyuan is the vast plain between the Chan River, Bahe River and Jianhe River. This is a mountain plain that symbolizes the dragon's veins. It goes north from Fanchuan in the southwest of Chang'an and spans sixty miles to the north of Chang'an City outside the city. , adjacent to the Royal Forbidden Garden and the shore of the Weishui River, is the highest point of the entire mountain plain. It is called the Dragon Head Plain. Because of the high terrain, it is called the Dragon Head Plain.

Dragon Head was originally the Sanjiu Linshe place in the north of Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty. There is the Guande Hall inside, where the shooting ceremony was held.

The later Tang Dynasty built the Daming Palace here, which once became the political center of the Tang Dynasty.

"Liuyao, Jiuyi Highland, Dragon Head is really good."

Lu Miaozi sighed in admiration.
