Start Summoning West Factory Flower

Gu Yi nodded in approval and said: "If we become the affiliated dynasty of Tianyuzong, then the royal family and the court will definitely be concerned about the strength of Tianyuzong."

Gu Rong pondered for a moment.

"We can't give up on both paths. We have to fight for the Tianyuzong side, and we can't give up on the Sihai County side."

"Let's get in touch first."

He said in a low voice.

……

As the situation changed, so did the strategies of the various forces.

The court and the royal family began to win over the rebel forces from all sides, the Gu family began to look for new allies and backers, and other forces were not idle, and kept collaborating with all parties.

For a time, countless messengers ran back and forth.

And Zheng Ming received envoys from the Gu family, the Lu family, the Shen family, and the Jiang family successively. Some wanted to seek refuge, some wanted to form an alliance, and some wanted to communicate, first to express their goodwill.

"What do you think?" Zheng Ming asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "If the Gu family wants to form an alliance, then form an alliance. The next step is to attack the capital. It will be easier if the Gu family joins."

"The Lu family can accept it if they want to seek refuge. The Nanyang County occupied by the Lu family is in the south of Jinghai County. Accepting the Lu family is equivalent to obtaining Nanyang County. In this way, we will occupy the entire western part of the Dasheng Dynasty."

"As for the Shen family and the Jiang family!"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, then said: "The Shen family can't stay, the Bei family will definitely not accept the Shen family, but the Jiang family can give it a try."

Both the Shen family and the Jiang family only received letters, and did not show any intention of seeking refuge.

The reason why Jia Xu didn't want to stay with the Shen family was because of the previous battle between the Shen family and the Bei family in Yiyang County, and the hatred between the two sides was too deep.

Although the Jiang family's strength is relatively weak, they still have some strength after all. If they can be recruited, it can be regarded as a good help.

Zheng Ming sat on the chair and tapped on the table.

"When will you attack Kyoto?"

The Xiao family has already been destroyed, and the three counties in the west will soon be conquered. Zheng Ming's next goal is the capital, and the Dasheng Dynasty will be wiped out completely.

"After the Bei family expresses their attitude, they will send troops to the capital immediately." Jia Xu said seriously.

It is better to send troops to Kyoto sooner rather than later.

The longer the delay, the more accidents will happen.

"Northern family!"

Zheng Ming's eyes were deep, and he said, "I hope they can make a wise choice."

"Respond to the Lu family, accept their support, canonize the Lu family, Lu Chen, as the deputy head of the hall of worship, and canonize the head of the Lu family, Lu Yu, as the Marquis of Changyang."

Lu Chen is the only Daoist in the Lu family.

Since the Lu family is willing to take refuge, Zheng Ming is naturally willing to give them high officials and titles.

"The Gu family also accepted their alliance and asked them to prepare to attack Dasheng Capital in two months."

"As for the Shen family and the Jiang family, you can figure it out."

Forming an alliance is just a means to deal with the current situation. One more ancient family will give them more strength and save a little effort when attacking the capital.

Zheng Ming didn't care about forming an alliance with the Gu family.

In contrast, he valued the Lu family.

"Your Majesty, you can disclose the situation of the Lu family to the Bei family." Jia Xu said softly.

Zheng Ming laughed when he heard this.

"You really count everywhere."

To reveal the news of the Lu family's refuge to the Bei family, isn't this forcing the Bei family to express their opinion?

If the Lu family were allowed to join Dali first, then the status of the Bei family would drop by one level.

"Go ahead, it's okay to force Bei's family, it will save them from seeing the situation clearly."

Jia Xu smiled knowingly.

……

The Lu family should be the weakest of the seven first-rank families in Dasheng. In the entire Lu family, there is only one strong Daoist and three masters of the Tongxuan realm, and the clan has only a few thousand people.

Compared with the Bei family, Xiao family, and Gu family with hundreds of thousands of people, the Lu family is far inferior in terms of background and strength.

It was precisely because of this that the Lu family did not rebel alone from the beginning, but joined the camp of the Gu family.

But now the situation has changed.

Tian Yuzong withdrew from Dasheng, and the Gu family suffered heavy losses in the First World War in Kyoto. The Lu family could not see hope in the Gu family, so they could only turn around and entrust them to Zheng Ming's command.

Although there is some meaning of sloppy, it is also a helpless move.

Weakness is the original sin.

To survive in the cracks of many powerful forces, the Lu family can only find new backers.

A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve.

Now that Sihai County is powerful, occupying five counties, and with the Bei family as an ally, they naturally want to join Zheng Ming's command.

morning.

The city of Nanyang County is full of noisy and prosperous, the streets are full of pedestrians, and the shops on both sides are full of guests.

It seems that the troubled times of Dasheng have not affected here, and everything is the same as before.

In fact, after thinking about it, it became clear that in the three counties in the south, the Gu family was at the forefront, and although the Lu family also participated in the battle, they were only supporting and did not lose their entire family.

It is only natural that Nanyang County was less affected by the war.

Compared with first-rank families such as the Bei family, Cai family, and Xiao family, the Lu family does not have a city of its own.

Most of the members of the Lu family live in Nancheng of Nanyang County, and there are a few houses over there where the members of the Lu family live.

The noisy street suddenly fell silent, and a group of cultivators in black uniforms with weapons on their waists walked slowly along the wide street.

And the leader was a man with a handsome face and extraordinary momentum.

This man is none other than Yuhuatian.

The Lu family took the initiative to seek refuge, and Zheng Ming attached great importance to it, so he let Yuhuatian, the governor of the West Factory, come to Nanyang County in person.

Yuhuatian looked around while walking on the street.

After a while, they came to the front of Lu's mansion.

At this time, there were many people waiting in front of the door.

The leader was an old man with full hair, and behind him were two men and a woman, all exuding a strong aura of cultivation.

The old man is Lu Chen, who is a strong Ming Taoist of the Lu family, and the two men and one woman are Lu Yu, the head of the Lu family, Lu Fei, the second master of the Lu family, and Lu Yuan, the only female master of the Lu family.

Afterwards, there were many members of the Lu family.

Lu Chen looked at Yuhuatian who was slowly approaching, with deep eyes and a solemn face.

"The old Lu family, Lu Chen, welcomes Your Excellency."

He didn't know Yuhuatian's identity, but since he represented Sihai County, he should show a humble attitude.

Even though he was a strong man in the Ming Dao Realm, he still bowed and saluted.

Yu Huatian smiled softly, with a gentle smile like a spring breeze on his soft face.

"Yu Huatian, governor of the West Factory of the Dali Dynasty, has met Senior Lu."

Yuhuatian was very satisfied with Lu Chen's attitude.

Dali Dynasty!

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Excellency please!"

Yu Huatian nodded slightly, and then entered Lu's house under the guidance of Lu Chen.

This is actually not the first communication between Dali and the Lu family. In fact, the Lu family had contacted Sihai County at the beginning of the great prosperity.

But at that time, it was just a friendly exchange, and it didn't mean much.

This time should be Da Li's first contact with the Lu family.

Everyone came to the lobby of Lu's house, and after some courtesies, they took their seats one after another.

Lu Chen looked at Yuhuatian, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know who the Dali Dynasty is?"

At present, there are quite a few forces that know about the existence of the Dali Dynasty. The Bei family, Tian Yuzong, and Gu family all know a little bit about it, while other forces are almost unheard of.

Yu Huatian said casually: "The Dali Dynasty is the dynasty behind Sihai County, the specific situation, after you join, you can gradually understand."

Lu Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Then he asked again: "But what does your Excellency mean by coming here?"

Yu Huatian sipped his tea lightly, and said, "Your Majesty has decided to accept your Lu family's support, so he sent this Governor to discuss the details."

After Lu Chen pondered for a while, he still couldn't help asking: "I would like to know about your official position in Sihai County. If there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me."

They only know that Sihai County is powerful now, but they know little about the internal situation of Sihai County.

They have never even heard of the name of Yuhuatian.

And the reason why he wanted to ask about Yuhuatian's official position was to confirm how much Zheng Ming valued their Lu family.

They wanted to join Sihai County, but that didn't mean they didn't have any conditions, and they still had to fight for the benefits they should fight for.

Chapter 387 The decision of the Bei family and the Lu family

Yu Huatian said indifferently: "The Dali Palace has two factories, the east and the west, and they are responsible for monitoring the world for His Majesty. This governor is the governor of the west factory, and he has the imperial franchise. He has the right to kill first and then play."

Lu Chen suddenly realized.

He probably understood Yuhuatian's identity.

The emperor's close minister.

Although I don't know how big the specific authority is, it sounds very simple.

"I don't know~ What is the condition given by His Majesty Li Huang?"

Yu Huatian said: "One is the position of the deputy head of the hall of worship, and one is the first-class Marquis of Dali."

Lu Chen looked at him puzzled.

Yuhuatian explained the status of the hall of worship and the Marquis.

Following his explanation, Lu Chen frowned involuntarily.

This does not serve his desired interests.

Although the position of the deputy hall master is very high, and the title of marquis represents nobility, but this does not satisfy him.

"If we join Dali, will Nanyang County still belong to our Lu family?" He asked.

That's what he cares most about.

Guarantee the autonomy of the Lu family and the ownership of the Lu family by Nanyang County.

Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at him with a sharp cold light.

"There is no king's land under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the land."

"All the territory within Dali belongs only to His Majesty. Anyone and any force can only own fiefdoms, not fiefdoms."

"If the Lu family wants to join Dali, not only Nanyang County, but also your army must be handed over to the Dynasty."

Fengtian belongs to the salary, and the fief belongs to the country.

This is the system of the Dali royal family and nobles, and no one is allowed to make exceptions.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Lu Chen and the others changed instantly.

In their opinion, this condition is too harsh.
