Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

After Chu Mo settled down with everyone, he asked his secret guards to explore the news related to the 300 brothers in Luoyang City that night.

Although Lin Wan told herself that all those brothers had died in the battle.

But how could Chu Mo, who knew Chu Xin's true nature, believe it.

He knew that if Chu Xin really found those 300 brothers, they would definitely not kill them all at once. The other party would probably use them as bait, let out the news, and then lure him out and catch them all.

I don't know whether it was because of the principle of confidentiality or because the personnel the secret guards came into contact with were too low-level. One night passed, and not much useful information was found out at all.

Although there was no news about the 300 brothers, the secret guards brought back some special news to Chu Mo.

For example, his current identity.

Since Chu Xin established the Great Zhou Dynasty, his status has also risen with the tide.

I don't know whether Chu Xin deliberately disgusted Li Shimin or deliberately disgusted Chu Mo. At this time, his title in the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually the title that Li Shimin had before he ascended the throne - King of Qin.

He was also the only prince in the Zhou Dynasty who held the title of prince.

As for the clan members of the Chu family.

Except for a few close cousins ​​who were given the title of county prince by Chu Xin, the rest of them were classified as marquises, and even the number of dukes was pitiful.

It is precisely for this reason that in the Zhou Dynasty, the holders of titles are more respected than those officials with high grades.

As for Dazhou, on the surface, it means that everyone is treated equally regardless of rank or rank.

But in the eyes of the real superiors, these rules are all given to the ignorant common people and used to fool them.

In the eyes of a real upper class, the hierarchy must be clearly defined. If a lower-level person dares to do something wrong, they will definitely be tolerated by everyone.

And at the same level, if one party has a title, he will definitely be the leader among them.

Some officials without titles, even if they are one or two levels higher than the other party, would not dare to provoke them easily.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you want to obtain a title, you must either make a significant contribution to the court and the people; or you must obtain it from the battlefield.

Apart from that, the only way to have a title is to be reincarnated into a good fetus and be reincarnated into the imperial family.

However, for some unknown reason, since Chu Xin ascended the throne, she has been very unfavorable to the members of the Chu family.

If they weren't afraid of being said to be cold-natured by the world, they might not have been given the imperial seal.

The only exception is Prince Chu Mo. Since Chu Xin ascended the throne, although he has not shown his face, he still gives out rewards during every new year and festival.

There are rumors in the market that Her Majesty the Empress's brother must have been born with a disability and difficult to see others, so Her Majesty the Empress has not shown up for so long since she ascended the throne.

Some people also say that the brother of Her Majesty the Empress is an ambitious man. In his early years, he was unwilling to fight for power with His Majesty. After his failure, he was put under house arrest by His Majesty.

There are all kinds of rumors, but most of them are hearsay.

There is no real official explanation, and Chu Xin has never personally come forward to explain these rumors.

Chu Mo was stunned when he heard the news from the secret guard.

He didn't know why Chu Xin wanted to establish a illusory King of Qin who didn't exist at all.

I don’t even know why she allowed these rumors to spread.

He had a vague feeling that there was something strange behind this incident.

And behind the incident, it is very likely that Chu Xin, the culprit, is manipulating it.

In addition to this news about himself, the secret guard also inquired about some news that Chu Mo was interested in.

For example, for some reason, Dazhou suddenly announced some time ago that the defense lines along the coast have been fully withdrawn.

Not only that, the imperial court also ordered that craftsmen with high salaries and some strong men who were proficient in water-based skills were recruited from all over the country. The number was not limited and they were sent directly to the far north to work.

The moment he heard the news, Chu Mo understood that this must be a comprehensive victory for Li Jing and Li Junxian, who had completely defeated the navy and coastal defense of Great Zhou.

Chu Xin had no choice but to find another way to build a shipyard and train the navy elsewhere.

It's a pity that I can't protect myself now and can't send people to find out the location of the new naval base in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Otherwise, as long as he finds out the specific location of the other party and then finds a way to send a message to Li Jing, Chu Mo believes that he can definitely inflict severe damage on Chu Xin and make him vomit blood.

If the first two items are related to Chu Mo, but are not that important, then the third item makes Chu Mo feel a little uneasy.

Ever since he and Lin Wan made a big fuss in Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty went to war, the two sides gathered outside Shaanxi and Guoguan to fight for several months, but they still could not decide the winner.

In order to end this battle as soon as possible and to allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, Chu Xin directly mobilized 10 troops from various places in the past two days to go to Shaanxi Guoguan to support Chu Xiang, and made it clear that he would complete his work in one battle.

This means that they want to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Tang Dynasty with all their strength and unify China.

Upon hearing the news, Chu Mo and Chu Ruowan looked at each other.

Others don't know the situation, but the two of them know it clearly.

If Chu Xiang and Li Shimin can maintain a stalemate in Shaanxi Guanguan, then the 10 fresh troops sent by the other party will very likely directly capture Shaanxi Guanguan.

And now that the Tang Dynasty is empty, Li Shimin's ability to prevent Chu Xiang from advancing westward has already exhausted all his energy. It is simply impossible to mobilize more troops and horses to resist in the Tang Dynasty.

If the 10 people sent by Chu Xin really arrived in Shaanxi Guoguan, the Tang Dynasty would be in danger.

Without the constraints of Datang, Chu Xin could focus all her energy on the navy and form a new navy.

After so many years of preparation, Chu Mo even doubted whether the other side could build a real iron-armored battleship with all the strength of China.

If Chu Xin was really allowed to pull out her hand and build an armored battleship, then Li Ji and Li Junxian would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo felt a sense of urgency coming over him.

He immediately discussed with Chu Ruowan and decided to find out the situation of the 300 brothers as soon as possible. If he could save them, he would save them. If he couldn't save them, he would find a way to cause some trouble for Chu Xin so that he would have no time to take care of him, and then quickly Leave Dazhou.

Otherwise, as time goes by, I will really be dragged to death here without knowing it.

Early the next morning, after Chu Mo and Chu Ruowan dressed up, they left the inn and wandered around Luoyang City.

Since he had just arrived, he had not yet figured out the current situation in Dazhou, so he was ready to find out the details so that he could make plans for the next step.
