Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Early morning of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

All civil and military officials stood in front of the Jinluan Hall and entered in order according to their official positions.

When they saw Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui standing at the front, all the civil and military officials couldn't help but be stunned.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui left the court according to the order and went to various places to take charge of rectifying the affairs of the officials. All civil and military officials knew about it.

The civil and military officials did not expect that Fang Xuanling and the four of them would come back so soon.

"It looks like a lot of people are going to die again."

All the civil and military officials couldn't help but secretly think about it.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Just after all the civil and military officials entered the Jinluan Palace, a sharp voice came.

Zhou Chen, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, stepped onto the royal road and ascended to the court with the pace of a dragon and a tiger.

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials immediately bowed their heads to the ground, knelt down and shouted to Zhou Chen, who was already standing in front of the dragon throne, "Long live your Majesty, long live long live."

Zhou Chen turned around and sat on the dragon throne, looked down at the civil and military officials, and said slowly, "Everyone is on equal footing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chenxiong looked at the civil and military officials, his expression neither happy nor sad.

All civil and military officials stood up and stood in the Jinluan Hall with great respect.

Since Zhou Chen, the emperor, recovered from his dragon body, he abolished the two saints, purged powerful ministers, quelled civil strife, annihilated aristocratic families, exterminated alien races, rectified internal abuses, defended against powerful enemies externally, reformed taxation, gathered power, and consolidated imperial power into one body. It is to take back a series of privileges owned by the world's wealthy families.

This elevated the power of the Zhou Dynasty to unprecedented heights.

Wherever the imperial order goes, almost no one in the world dares to disobey it.

The Jinluan Palace is full of ministers from the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful. How can the ministers not be happy?

In the hearts of the civil and military officials, the reason why Zhou Dynasty was able to reach this point has a lot to do with the man sitting on the dragon throne at the moment.

Without the emperor's drastic measures and countless killings, how could there be the current resurgence of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the hearts of civil and military officials, Zhou Chen was certainly the most murderous emperor since the Great Zhou Kingdom.

But without Zhou Chen's murderous nature, Da Zhou would still be trapped in the quagmire, declining, struggling, and unable to extricate himself...

"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."

Cao Zhengchun took a step forward and shouted loudly.

As soon as Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, Xuanling, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, stepped out of the queue and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to review the local officials and investigate the administration of local officials. A total of sixty-three officials were identified, including seventh-rank and third-rank officials. Fifteen people, seventeen people of sixth grade, eight people of fifth grade, and two people of fourth grade.”

"While in office, these officials deceived their superiors, took bribes, and harmed the local area. The evidence of their crimes is conclusive."

"How to deal with these officials is up to Your Majesty to decide."

Fang Xuanling said loudly.

After hearing this, the faces of all the civil and military officials in the palace changed slightly.

Just after seeing Fang Xuanling and others returning, the civil and military officials knew that many more people were going to die.

Now that I heard Fang Xuanling's report, it turned out to be true.

Sixty-three officials may seem like a small number, but those who can pull out carrots and bring out mud and report to the emperor in the Jinluan Palace are all local officials or powerful officials.

Among them, I don’t know how many officials are involved who are not worthy of being mentioned in the Jinluan Palace...

"Since the evidence of the crime is conclusive, we will deal with it according to the laws of Dazhou."

Zhou Chen looked at Fang Xuanling and said without anger or authority.

"According to the order."

Fang Xuanling bowed and returned to his original position.

After Fang Xuanling returned to the line, the patron king Zhou Zhan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the aristocratic families who secretly connected with the Great Wilderness Hundred Cities and the aristocratic families and officials who took refuge in the Great Wilderness Hundred Cities have all been captured by the old minister."

"It is up to Your Majesty to decide how to deal with these people."

"kill."

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate and uttered one word gently.

Zhou Chen would never be soft on such scoundrels, and he would kill as many as there were.

Zhou Chen's fluttering word "kill" shocked the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the palace, and a chill rose in their hearts.

After receiving the holy will, the patron king Zhou Zhan retreated.

In this way, the morning session lasted for more than an hour before coming to an end.

…

After retreating from the court.

Zhou Chen returned to the Yangxin Hall.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne with a deep expression on his face.

Nowadays, Dazhou's rectification of officialdom has begun and the seeds have been planted. All you have to do is keep going and slowly peel off the cocoons. As time goes by, Dazhou's officialdom will naturally become clearer and clearer.

It can be said that up to now, most of the shortcomings that corroded Dazhou's internal affairs have been solved by Zhou Chen.

As for the remaining shortcomings in Dazhou, they are all minor problems and will not have much impact on the development of Dazhou.

After the internal problems of the Great Zhou Dynasty were solved, the next step was the threat of the external enemies of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Chen pondered slightly.

With Jia Xu planning, the hundreds of cities in the wilderness no longer pose any threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In particular, Yuwen Chengdu has entered the realm of life and death, and together with Pei Yuanqing who has signed in, with these two kings of life and death, the wilderness and hundreds of cities are no longer afraid.

So, now only the two great dynasties of Dayan and Dayue pose a threat to the Great Zhou.

To be honest, Zhou Chen still hasn't figured out why the two great dynasties of Dayan and Dayue suddenly and innocently sent troops to attack his land of Great Zhou.

"The Yan army in Donghuang has been repelled by Huo Qubing. I wonder what the situation is like in southern Xinjiang?" Zhou Chen suddenly thought in his mind.

at this time.

Cao Zhengchun quickly walked into the Yangxin Hall.

"Your Majesty, there is news from southern Xinjiang that Governor Zhou has repelled the Vietnamese army and recaptured Nanmen Pass. The Vietnamese army has retreated outside Nanmen Pass."

Cao Zhengchun said and presented the news directly to Zhou Chen.

"oh!"

Zhou Chen was shocked.

Zhou Chen immediately took the message from Cao Zhengchun's hand and glanced at it.

"good!"

"Zhou Yu and Yuwen Chengdu really did not disappoint me."

After seeing the content of the message, Zhou Chen had a smile on his face.

At the same time, I felt relieved.

After repelling the Vietnamese army and taking back Nanmen Pass, the safety of Da Zhou was temporarily stabilized.

Cao Zhengchun, who was next to him, took out another memorial and presented it to Zhou Chen; "Your Majesty, Governor Zhou has also sent a memorial asking for help in a hurry, please see it."

"Ask for help?"

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, took the memorial from Cao Zhengchun's hand and started to read it.

There was a lot of content in the memorial, and Zhou Chen read it for several minutes.

After Zhou Chen read the contents of this memorial, his brows furrowed.

Zhou Yu's memorial was indeed a request for help.

After this battle with the Vietnamese army, the Zhennan army suffered heavy casualties.

Although Zhou Yu led his army to recapture Nanmen Pass and repelled the Vietnamese army, this was all due to the influence of Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Bu who defeated the Vietnamese army commander and the powerful men in the life and death realm.

As for the Zhennan Army, the 500,000 Zhennan Army faced 200,000 Vietnamese troops. After the first battle, less than 100,000 were left.

This can no longer be described as heavy casualties, but the Zhennan Army has been severely beaten and disabled.

If the Vietnamese army attacks again, the remaining Zhennan Army will not be enough to resist.

In addition to asking for help from the imperial court, Zhou Yu also described the gap between the two armies and included several suggestions.

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment, put down the memorial, and looked up at Cao Zhengchun; "Cao Zhengchun, it is said that Xiao He and the six ministers will come to Yangxin Hall immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and exited the Yangxin Hall.

After Cao Zhengchun left, Zhou Chen looked through Zhou Yu's memorial again.

…

Half an hour later.

Xiao He, Fang Xuanling and the other six ministers, led by Cao Zhengchun, entered the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.

"I have met His Majesty."

Xiao He, Fang Xuanling and others walked into the Yangxin Hall and bowed to Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon throne.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and looked at Xiao He and the others, and said directly, "The Yan army that attacked me in the East Wilderness has been repelled by Huo Qubing and his army. You also know this news."

"News has just come from southern Xinjiang. Zhou Yu and Yuwen Chengdu have repelled the Vietnamese army and regained Nanmen Pass. The Vietnamese army has retreated outside Nanmen Pass."

As soon as Zhou Chen said these words, Xiao He and Fang Xuanling relaxed, with faint smiles on their faces.

Dayan's army was repelled by Huo Qubing and Pei Yuanqing. Dayan's army withdrew from Dongyan Pass. Xiao He and others had received this news.

Now, the Vietnamese army that attacked southern Xinjiang was repelled by Zhou Yu, and the Vietnamese army withdrew from the pass.

In that case, the crisis in Southern Border and Eastern Wilderness of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been temporarily resolved.

This is good news for Xiao He and the others.

"However, although Zhou Yu and the others repelled the Vietnamese army, the losses of the Zhennan Army were not small. There were only less than 100,000 of the 500,000 Zhennan Army left. I estimate that Huo Qubing and his Shenwu Guards also suffered heavy casualties. Not to mention the Huang Army."

"Moreover, the Yan army and the Yue army only withdrew from the Pass, and did not completely withdraw from our land of Great Zhou and return to Dayan and Dayue."

Zhou Chen said in a low voice.

After Xiao He and the others heard this, the smiles that had just appeared on their faces suddenly disappeared.

After the battle with the Vietnamese army out of the half-million Zhennan Army, there were only less than 100,000 left. What a painful casualty figure.

The most important thing is that although the Yue army and the Yan army were repelled, they only withdrew from the pass and had not yet withdrawn from the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In other words, his army of the Zhou Dynasty suffered such heavy casualties, only to temporarily repel the armies of Dayan and Dayue.

The Donghuang and Southern Xinjiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty were still threatened by the Yan army and the Yue army at any time.

Xiao He and Fang Xuanling's expressions became solemn.

"This is the memorial sent by Zhou Yu asking for help. Please take a look at it."

Zhou Chen picked up the memorial on the dragon case and threw it to Cao Zhengchun who was standing next to him.

Cao Zhengchun immediately took the memorial and sent it to Xiao He and Fang Xuanling.

After Xiao He, Fang Xuanling and others finished reading Zhou Yu's memorial asking for help, Zhou Chen looked at Xiao He and others and said, "You have all read this memorial. What do you want to say?"

Xiao He, as the left prime minister and in charge of the cabinet, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the Zhennan Army has suffered such heavy losses, and troops should be sent immediately to support southern Xinjiang."

"Otherwise, when the Vietnamese army attacks again, southern Xinjiang will be in danger."

As soon as Xiao He finished speaking, Li Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately said: "But I don't have many soldiers and horses to mobilize in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The twelve guards of Shenwu and the six guards of the northern camp have been sent to the east wasteland, and only the south guard is left." Camp Six Guards."

"The Zhennan Army suffered such heavy casualties, and the same is probably true for the Shenwu Guards sent to the Eastern Wasteland. General Huo must also need support. We simply don't have enough troops to support both sides at the same time."

The words of Li Yuan, Minister of War, made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly become dull.

really.

As Li Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, said, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have extra soldiers and horses to support Southern Xinjiang and Donghuang at the same time.

If there are fewer troops sent, it will be to deliver food. If there are more troops sent, Dazhou does not have so many elite troops.

The only army that Zhou Dynasty can mobilize at present is the Shenwu Guards.

As for the local soldiers and horses, they are simply vulnerable. If they are sent to the border to deal with the Yue army and the Yan army, they will simply be killed.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and then said: "We can mobilize the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army. Now that the hundreds of cities in the wilderness have too much time to take care of themselves, they no longer pose a threat to our great Zhou Dynasty. There is no need for the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army to guard them all. Xiliang and Northern Xinjiang.”

"Although the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army suffered some casualties when facing masters from hundreds of cities in the wilderness, the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army are basically not injured. They can be mobilized to support Southern Xinjiang and Donghuang."

Xun Yu nodded; "This method is feasible. At the same time, we should immediately order the recruitment of troops. It is best to recruit the people who fled to the wilderness in our great Zhou Dynasty, or find a way to recruit troops in the land of hundreds of cities in the wilderness."

"good."

Xiao He nodded and said, "The combat power of my army of Great Zhou is very different from that of Dayan and Dayue, both in terms of weapons and equipment and the combat power of the army."

"If this continues, no matter how many troops we have in Zhou Dynasty, we will not be able to compete with the two great dynasties of Dayue and Dayan."

"Therefore, I feel that we should find a way to turn the hundreds of cities in the wilderness into a military base for our Great Zhou."

"If I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, can capture the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness and integrate the masters from the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness into the army, then the military strength of our Great Zhou Dynasty will no longer be weaker than the two great dynasties of Dayan and Dayue."

The words of Xiao He and Xun Yu made everyone's eyes brighten in the hall.

Even Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a gleam in his eyes.

At present, the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army is indeed much worse than that of the Yue army and the Yan army.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the 500,000-strong Zhennan Army to be unable to withstand the 200,000-strong Vietnamese Army and suffer heavy casualties.

Recruiting troops from within the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter how many armies were recruited, would indeed not have much effect.

Because the Great Zhou Dynasty was a secular dynasty that had just integrated into the Great Wilderness, the people in the world were generally ordinary people.

But dynasties like Dayan and Dayue are different. They are both old dynasties in the wild world. Whether it is in terms of their heritage or the proportion of people in the world who practice, they are not comparable to the Zhou Dynasty now.

But if the Great Zhou Dynasty could capture the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness and recruit troops from the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness, it would be able to make up for this gap.

At the very least, there are many masters from the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness. If these masters from the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness can be incorporated into the army, the strength of the army will definitely increase several times.
