Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

"Lao Wu is still alive?"

A sound of surprise, but with a hint of surprise.

In Fengzhou, on a high-rise city wall, King Ming was wearing a lavender-gold cloak. The strong wind carrying the smell of blood blew, the cloak bulged, and his tall and mighty figure stood motionless.

In the past ten days, the defense line established by the Fengzhou Alliance has been broken through by the fierce attack led by King Ming. The Fengzhou Alliance was defeated, and now it is gradually encroaching on the last two lands of Fengzhou.

Gong Hong stood quietly behind him with complicated eyes. The strong wind made his face hurt a little.

"Yes, the King of Chu suddenly appeared on the battlefield of Lingfeng City yesterday and wiped out the Zhou family and the Wang family in one fell swoop. The Black Dragon Gang and the Song family have taken refuge with the King of Chu. Now the King of Chu has sent a large army into Huanzhou." When Gong Hong said about the Song family, There was a murderous look in his eyes.

So stupid!

In one day, they had learned the ins and outs of the battlefield situation between the Huanzhou Alliance and Lingfeng City.

From the analysis of the entire battlefield process, it can be said that if the Song family had not turned against the enemy, even if the Huanzhou Alliance lost, it would not have lost so quickly or so miserably.

The king of Chu would not be able to enter Huanzhou smoothly.

Now the strength of the entire Chu Palace has not lost much, and there are two more top forces following it. Its strength has not retreated but has skyrocketed.

"I heard that Lao Wu had another peerless general, Lu Bu, who was at the middle stage of the Dharma Master Realm and furiously killed the two pavilion masters in Lianzhou?" King Ming seemed to be more interested in Lu Bu than Li Yuan's defeat of Huanzhou Huanzhou.

"Indeed, not only the millions of troops on the battlefield, but also spies from all sides witnessed everything, and the picture stone of the battle has been sent back." Gong Hong showed unprecedented fear towards Li Yuan at this moment.

He was not only afraid of Lu Bu's fighting power, but also afraid of the consequences of Lu Bu's appearance!

In this battle, why are there so many powerful generals under the command of Chu King Li Yuan? Where do they come from?

The people who appeared before were Yuwen Chengdu, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu. People speculated that they were sent by Emperor Yu to the King of Chu, and they were regarded as investments by Emperor Yu to the King of Chu.

But Ah Qing later, and even Lu Bu who appears now, are peerless geniuses of this level retained by Emperor Yu?

If it was really Emperor Yu who retained him, how much did Emperor Yu place a heavy bet on King Chu?

But what if not?

What’s even more terrifying is where on earth did King Chu find such talented people.

Could it be from the other two dynasties?

A thought flashed through Gong Hong's mind, but he quickly shook his head. Even if the two dynasties had such extraordinary talents, how could they dare to send them to the Yu Dynasty?

And even if the two dynasties sent them, they would only choose a certain rebel force. How could they choose someone from the royal family and not be afraid that the Li family would trick them to death?

While Gong Hong was thinking wildly, Prince Ming's calm tone came from in front of him.

"Gong Hong, I have a question for you!"

Gong Hong trembled all over. At this moment, King Ming had turned around and looked directly at him with his pale eyes, which put great pressure on Gong Hong, and a biting cold came from his back.

"How was the Song family exposed?" A cold look appeared in King Ming's eyes. He did not regret that the Song family rebelled. These top forces were just a bunch of immature wolves. If they were lost, they would be lost. It was no big deal.

But during this period, he has been dealing with the Fengzhou Alliance and has not issued orders to the Song family. How has the Song family been exposed to the eyes of Lao Wu? The Zhou family of the Huanzhou Alliance has also been prepared for Lianzhou to send the Venerable. Reinforcement, beware of the Song family.

This shows that the Song family has been exposed before the battle in Lingfeng City.

So, as the person who took over the affairs of the Song family, Gong Hong did something he shouldn't have done!

puff!

Gong Hong didn't speak, he knelt down and lowered his head.

No words are better than words.

Seeing this, King Ming slowly closed his eyes and said:

"Lao Wu is my biological brother, he can die, die from the enemy's powerful strength, die from the enemy's conspiracy, but he will never die at the hands of our royal family!

Gu and Lao Wu will indeed be rivals in the future, Gu Hui will defeat him openly, instead of using such insidious tricks. "

"I know I was wrong." Gong Hong did not defend himself, but bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

When King Ming saw Gong Hong's look, he sighed and felt heartbroken again, "This was Xian Qing's idea, probably."

Gong Hong's body trembled, his eyes were dim with tears as he lowered his head.

Prince Ming leaned over and helped Gong Hong up, his face softened, and his tone became dull: "Gong Hong, you and Xian Qing have been following Gu. You know Gu's character best. Now that Xian Qing has passed away, only You can Now that you can stay with me, don’t do this next time.”

"Your Highness..." Gong Hong had tears in his eyes.

After King Ming helped Gong Hong up, he immediately waved his hand, walked towards the city wall in a few steps, and stood with his hands behind his back, letting the strong wind blow.

"It's time and destiny. If the Song family hadn't been exposed, it would not have been so easy for Lao Wu to deal with the Huanzhou Alliance.

"Huanzhou should indeed be won by Lao Wu!"

King Ming suddenly turned around, with a pair of fierce tiger eyes, a resolute face, and a powerful and domineering look.

"No matter how chaotic Huanzhou is now, our Ming army is not allowed to step into Huanzhou. We will notify Ji Wushuang and let him lead the Yizhou army to withdraw from the Huanzhou border."

"This time, I owe him."

Gong Hong suddenly raised his head, but when he looked at the figure of King Ming with the cloak on his back dancing in the wind, his eyes became piercing, and a thousand words turned into one sentence:

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Gong Hong's heart became hot. This was the charm of King Ming, and he made all his subordinates follow him to the death.

"Report, the 300,000-strong army led by General Wu has broken through Fengchao Pass and is in the process of fully capturing Fengyuan Prefecture. The Fengzhou Alliance troops in Fengyuan Prefecture retreated step by step and retreated to Fengyan Prefecture to join the main force of the Fengzhou Alliance. .”

At this moment, a young general quickly came forward to report.

Gong Hong's eyes lit up and he showed joy. After the Fengzhou Alliance's defense line was broken, there were only two houses left, Fengyuan Mansion and Fengyan Mansion.

Now that Fengyuan Prefecture has been destroyed, only Fengyan Prefecture, which is close to the border, is left.

"Okay, notify Fu Zhen immediately to raise troops. Gu Yao will lead an army of 200,000 to join Wu Yan and completely eliminate the Fengzhou Alliance."

King Ming suddenly turned around and waved his hand, a surge of heroism rising to the sky.

"yes!"

The young general clasped his hands in his fists.

……………………

"Lao Wu is not dead?"

In the Royal Garden of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Li Yao, who was accompanying Queen Lin, was overjoyed at first when he received the news from Liu Jin, and his face couldn't stop being happy.

But after reading the following message, his face turned sad.

"Your Majesty, it is a good thing that King Chu is not dead, and isn't it also in line with your wishes that King Chu defeated the Huanzhou Alliance?"

Queen Lin also read the letter about the war in Lingfeng City. Regarding Li Yao's worried look, she held his hand with both hands and expressed comfort.

Li Yao saw Queen Lin comforting him with concern and sighed:

"Lao Wu is fine, I'm really happy. When I announced Lao Wu as the governor of Huanzhou when he left the capital, I mainly wanted to cause chaos for King Ming and delay his attack on the Fengzhou Alliance, and the Huanzhou Alliance won When I learned that Lao Wu was the governor of Huanzhou, in my mind, either they would attack Yizhou like crazy, or they could switch from offense to defense, and then help the Fengzhou Alliance to defeat King Ming. In this way, Fengzhou, Yi, Mingzhou, and Lingzhou It will be in a balanced state of chaos, and I will have more time to prepare."

"But no one thought that the Huanzhou Alliance would be so insane that they would dare to attack Lao Wu."

There was a hint of indignation in Li Yao's eyes, "I know that during this period, many people are suspecting that I deliberately let Lao Wu die, including those from the royal family."

"But, I really don't have this idea. I discussed this matter with Lao Wu at the beginning, and he didn't refuse." Li Yao showed a hint of grievance.

"But Lao Wu was already dead at that time, so Prime Minister Lin and Lu Aiqing asked me to use their tactics to show my cold and ruthless character, so that I could become a qualified emperor who could intimidate all the officials.

Then he quickly sent people to Lingzhou to appease the generals of the Chu Palace, firstly so that Lingzhou would not be defeated by the Huanzhou Alliance, and secondly, to increase his own strength. "

Seeing Li Yao's expression, Queen Lin smiled and pointed to the message in the letter: "Now the truth has been revealed, and the grievances on Your Majesty's body have been washed away. The letter said that the first person to propose the attack and killing Jiang Qian was the King of Chu. Therefore, this attack and killing incident was planned by the King of Chu and has nothing to do with His Majesty."

"That's true, but everything I did before by sending people to Lingzhou has become a joke." Li Yao revealed the real reason for his sorrow.

Thinking that everything he had done was in vain, I don't know how many people secretly laughed at me, especially Li Heng.

When Queen Lin heard Li Yao's words, her bright big eyes flashed and turned around, a hint of cunning emerged from her heart, and she said:

"Your Majesty, this is not easy. When we meet tomorrow morning, we will highly reward the King of Chu for winning the Huanzhou Alliance, and declare to the world that the King of Chu will enter Huanzhou as soon as possible to assume the post of governor."

"In this way, the world will think that this is a play performed by His Majesty and King Chu together. Who dares to laugh at Your Majesty!"

Hearing Queen Lin's words, Li Yao was shocked, slapped his thigh, and shouted happily:

"It makes sense!"

Bang!

Li Yao kissed Queen Lin fiercely.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Queen Lin saw Li Yao kissing her in broad daylight, looking around and seeing no one around, then she breathed a sigh of relief and her face turned slightly red.

"Hey, I'm happy for my smart queen."

"Your Majesty, you should pay more attention to another issue of King Chu now." Queen Lin rolled her eyes at Li Yao, then her expression became serious, and she pointed at the letter again:

"In the final battle, another peerless general appeared in the Chu Palace, and he single-handedly killed the two top powerful pavilion masters in Lianzhou."

"Where did this Lu Bu come from?"

………………

"Where did this Lu Bu come from?"

In Prince Heng's Mansion, Li Heng also noticed this problem, and his expression was extremely bad.

Could it be that his father had not left him as many backup options as the King of Chu, among whom his father had always valued the King of Chu the most?

Li Heng thought of this issue immediately.

"The Zhou family in Huanzhou is very pitiful." Dong Ke shook his head and sighed after looking at the information.

Among the four top forces in the Huanzhou Alliance, the Song family is a member of King Ming, the Black Dragon Gang has taken refuge with King Chu, and the King of Chu has exposed the Wang family as a member of King Yu.

In this case, there was no need for the King of Chu to lie.

In this way, three of the four top forces in the Huanzhou Alliance have ulterior motives. With such an alliance, why worry about being undefeated?

"The methods of each king are unfathomable."

Among Li Heng and Dong Ke, there was another young man, Xu Qingshan.

The eldest princess had previously promised that she could compete in the dynasty competition, but as everyone knows what happened later, she was replaced by Lu Junyi who appeared out of nowhere.

Therefore, Xu Qingshan no longer chose to seek refuge with the eldest princess.

In the end, after various reasons and with Li Heng's wooing, Xu Qingshan easily moved closer to Li Heng.

Xu Qingshan said in confusion: "The three top forces in the Huanzhou Alliance all defected to the royal family, so why did they rebel?"

"When they rebelled, they may not have no rebellious intentions, but they were gradually won over by the three kings after the rebellion." Dong Ke shook his head slightly and explained.

He knows the thoughts of these forces very well. Whichever side gets more benefits, they will choose which side.

"I see, so the King of Chu has captured Huanzhou again?" Xu Qingshan glanced at Li Heng inadvertently as he spoke.

"Not necessarily. Although King Ming is currently attacking the Fengzhou Alliance, he still has enough troops in Yizhou, and the commander is still Ji Wushuang. If Ji Wushuang gets the news and attacks Huanzhou immediately, he can take at least two places." Dong Ke held a fan and pointed in the sky. It seemed that the map of Huanzhou, Yizhou and Lingzhou was here.

Ji Wushuang has no problem guarding the two palaces. The Fengzhou Alliance has been defeated by King Ming. The defeat is determined and the troops are gradually abundant. King Ming can also send troops from Fengzhou into Huanzhou to assist Ji Wushuang.

At that time, the King of Chu had no choice but to give up the land of the two mansions. After all, Huanzhou still had seven mansions that were not under control. If Ji Wushuang was dealt with with all his strength, he might not have solved Ji Wushuang. On the other hand, King Ming would have already solved the Fengzhou Alliance, and behind Huanzhou Qifu didn't even get it, it was like picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.

“Then what can we do now, continue to fight these old foxes in Kyoto?

The once weakest king of Chu was already taking control of the two states. "Xu Qingshan asked again. He already knew that it was impossible for King Heng to defeat Emperor Yao in a short time.

Now the four kings of the Dayu Dynasty were expanding their power one by one. When King Heng defeated Emperor Yao and took control of the court, the armies of the four kings came over.

In fact, after Xu Qingshan left the eldest princess, his first reaction was to seek refuge with Emperor Yao.

But who is Li Yao, the head of the Yu Dynasty? There are countless forces in Zhongzhou who want to invest in Li Yao. Outstanding children of the family are rushing to Li Yao one by one, and the representative figures are the three heroes of the Fan family.

Xu Qingshan had no background, and his strength was not outstanding. It was difficult for him to even meet Li Yao.

Finally, Xu Qingshan thought of the pain he had suffered, Bai Yingjie!

Bai Yingjie, the beauty whom he heroically saved at that time, had already fallen in love with him, but the next day, she was suppressed by that damn Chu Qingyan, and then Bai Yingjie came out to plead for her, and finally fell in love with Li Yao.

At that time, Xu Qingshan was full of anger towards Li Yao, but after the three kings left, the once smooth situation was gone. Xu Qingshan finally understood the importance of power, and therefore let go of his hatred for Li Yao and Bai Yingjie. He cultivated with peace of mind, hoping to be valued by some important person.

So when Xu Qingshan left the eldest princess and wanted to find someone to recommend him to Emperor Yao, he thought of Bai Yingjie.

However, when Xu Qingshan felt that Bai Yingjie should still have some affection for him, and confidently went to Bai Mansion to ask for Bai Yingjie, he was rejected.

Bai Yingjie even sent a maid to tell him personally: Xu Qingshan should never come to her, and she would not help Xu Qingshan with anything. She said she was afraid that His Majesty Yao Huang would misunderstand!

Xu Qingshan's mood at that time was like snow falling at night in winter.

Finally, out of anger, he chose King Heng!

Just when Xu Qingshan was thinking about all his sorrows, Li Heng had already regained his stern expression. In response to Xu Qingshan's question, he looked at Dong Ke and said:

"Mr. Dong, this battle with the Huanzhou Alliance also gave me an idea. Perhaps we should also try to win over the top forces in each state."

Dong Ke's face became serious, he nodded slightly and said: "Your Highness, this is what I have in mind."

"Then where does Mr. Dong think we can start?" Li Heng saw that Dong Ke had the same idea as him and showed a confident smile.

"Lianzhou." Dong Ke glanced at Xu Qingshan and explained:

"In the battle of Lingfeng City, King Chu defeated the two pavilion masters of Ice and Snow Pavilion and Tianlei Pavilion, and another Venerable Xu of Tianlei Pavilion also fell. If nothing else, the current Tianlei Pavilion has been demoted from the top power. Come down.

Among the five major forces in Lianzhou, two of the top forces have changed. In these troubled times, Lianzhou will definitely be in turmoil. This is our opportunity. "

"It makes sense." Li Heng chuckled and nodded. He went to Lianzhou to win over the top forces. It was just a test, and the people he needed to send...

After a second thought, Li Heng looked at Xu Qingshan.

"Qingshan, weren't you always dissatisfied with Lu Junyi before? Now he has won Li Yao's trust and was sent to Lianzhou as the county guard.

How about I give you this opportunity? I can let you go to Lianzhou to take up the post of county guard, so that you can have a fair and square comparison! "

"really?"

Hearing Li Heng's words, Xu Qingshan's eyes lit up, he was a little excited, and a fighting spirit came out.

Xu Qingshan was indeed dissatisfied with Lu Junyi, even though he had been defeated by Fan Peng before, and Lu Junyi could defeat Fan Peng.

But he was still dissatisfied with Lu Junyi.

Because he is still in the early stage of Tianwu Realm, and Lu Junyi is at the peak of Tianwu Realm. When he reaches the peak of Tianwu Realm, he will definitely be able to defeat Lu Junyi.

"Of course, Gu still has this ability." Li Heng nodded slightly, his tone indifferent.

Seeing Xu Qingshan's strong fighting spirit, Dong Ke chuckled and said, "Haha, Qingshan, do you know why Lu Junyi was sent to Lianzhou by Yaohuang?"

"Why?" Xu Qingshan asked curiously.

"Lianzhou will also be a battlefield next. Emperor Yao sent Lu Junyi to Lianzhou just to win over the top forces in Lianzhou." Dong Ke explained with a smile.

Li Heng nodded with a solemn look on his face: "It seems that Lu Junyi is very capable and can be trusted by Li Yao so much."

Li Heng then looked at Xu Qingshan and said: "Qingshan, you heard the conversation just now. The main reason why I sent you to Lianzhou is to win over the top forces in Lianzhou. Are you sure..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I promise to recruit a top power for Your Highness!"

"Okay, I'll send you there!"

After hearing this, Xu Qingshan immediately clasped his hands and said confidently:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will prove to the world that I am better than Lu Junyi."
