Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne.

Li Si, Xun Yu, Liu Ye, Du Ruhui, Li Yuan, the Minister of War, and Wang Yangming, the Minister of Punishments, stood separately.

Now, Li Si is the right prime minister, and Xiao He, the left prime minister, is absent, and Li Si is in charge of all the civil and military officials in the court.

Fortunately, Li Si is here to preside over the operation of the cabinet and share most of the government affairs.

Otherwise, the emperor Zhou Chen would have to work until late at night every day and be exhausted.

Zhou Chen glanced at Li Si and the others and said, "My dear friends, I want to take a preemptive strike against the Qinglong Dynasty. What do you think?"

Zhou Chen didn't talk nonsense and asked these important ministers bluntly.

Li Si and Xun Yu frowned slightly when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, the purpose of striking preemptively is to take the enemy by surprise."

"However, as the Qinglong Dynasty is the overlord of the Eastern Region, it is probably difficult for me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, to hide the recent actions of other dynasties from the Qinglong Dynasty."

"This preemptive strike is of little significance to the Qinglong Dynasty. It is better to take advantage of this time to integrate the power of these dynasties first, so that when the time comes, they can use their fingers like an arm."

Li Si pondered for a moment, stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiangyan is right. The imperial court cannot be unaware of our Great Zhou's actions. It is no longer advantageous to take the lead by striking preemptively. It would be more advantageous to consolidate and stabilize our Great Zhou's power first."

"Besides, what determines the outcome of today's wars is not the size of the army, but the strength of the strong."

"Compared with the Qinglong Dynasty, my Da Zhou's background is still a bit inferior. It will not be beneficial to me, Da Zhou, to take action first."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, Du Ruhui also spoke up.

Xun Yu, Minister of War Li Yuan, and others did not speak, but their expressions were a little solemn.

The Qinglong Dynasty is the overlord of the Eastern Region, and it is the uncrowned king in the entire Eastern Region.

The Great Zhou Dynasty could easily win over any dynasty, and even wipe out all the dynasties in the Eastern Region.

However, this does not mean that Zhou Dynasty can be dealt with.

The Qinglong Dynasty is not a dynasty that can be compared. Even if all the dynasties are added together, they cannot compare to the tip of the iceberg of the Qinglong Dynasty.

Facing such an uncrowned king, Da Zhou was definitely at a slight advantage.

This kind of war has to make people cautious.

…

at this time.

An internal servant quietly walked into the Yangxin Hall, came to Cao Zhengchun's side, and handed a note to Cao Zhengchun's hand.

Moreover, the house guard and factory guard whispered a few words in Cao Zhengchun's ear.

Cao Zhengchun's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

After Cao Zhengchun dismissed the imperial guards, he immediately bent over and whispered to Zhou Chen on the dragon chair, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Dynasty's factory guards have sent word that the Imperial Dynasty has sent troops."

Cao Zhengchun handed the note in his hand to Zhou Chen.

"oh!"

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and looked obviously stunned.

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

After seeing the content on the note, Zhou Chen's eyes flashed.

"My dear friends, it seems that there is no need for us to discuss a preemptive strike against the Qinglong Dynasty."

After putting down the message in his hand, Zhou Chen raised his eyes and looked at Li Si and the others.

"The factory guard has just received news that the Qinglong Dynasty has issued an order to mobilize an army of millions to destroy our great Zhou Dynasty."

Zhou Chen's words were like thunder exploding in the ears of Li Si, Xun Yu and other ministers.

What?

The expressions of Li Si and Xun Yu changed slightly.

They did not expect that the imperial dynasty would react so quickly, and had already ordered the dispatch of troops against the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Not only Li Si, Xun Yu and other ministers did not expect, Zhou Chen also did not expect that the dynasty would move so quickly.

"I didn't expect that the imperial dynasty would move so fast. With an army of one million, it's such a big move!"

Zhou Chen said and sneered.

An army of one million is not a small number.

Especially the army of the dynasty, which is definitely much stronger than the army of the dynasty.

The soldiers of the dynasty's army have basically reached the late stage of the mortal realm, or even the peak, so the soldiers of the dynasty's army are estimated to have started in the heavenly realm.

With an army of one million celestial beings and above, can you imagine what kind of power such a force would unleash if it came together?

"Your Majesty, who will the imperial court send to lead the army?"

"In addition to the million-strong army, how many powerful men did the dynasty send to accompany the army?"

Li Si asked with a solemn expression.

A million-strong army is very tyrannical, but it is not the greatest threat to the Great Zhou, nor is it the key to victory or defeat.

The real threat to Great Zhou is the semi-saint, a saint above the semi-saint, such a powerful person.

This is the real key to victory or defeat.

"The leading general of the Imperial Faction is King Shenwu. As for the others, we don't know yet."

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Li Si, Xun Yu and other ministers' brows were knitted together.

King Shenwu.

This is a top prince of the Qinglong Dynasty. He is a member of the royal family. He is powerful and plays a decisive role in the dynasty...

Dazhou has collected information about these important figures.

Therefore, regarding King Shenwu, Zhou Chen, Li Si and Xun Yu all knew about the existence of this figure.

But except for King Shenwu, he didn't know anything about the other powerful men sent by the dynasty, which made people feel solemn.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Knowing everything about the enemy will be a disadvantage.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was standing next to him; "Immediately send an order to Han Xin and Lu Bu, telling them to mobilize all the forces of the major dynasties to block the dynasty's army at all costs."

Zhou Chen's purpose in taking down other major dynasties was to control the armies and masters of each major dynasty to deal with the dynasty.

Now that the dynasty has given orders to mobilize an army of millions to annihilate his great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Chen will naturally mobilize the power of these dynasties to resist the dynasty's army.

Anyway, the power of these dynasties does not really belong to the Zhou Dynasty. They are just forced to obey the Zhou Dynasty due to their incompetence and forced control by the Zhou Dynasty.

It doesn't matter how many people die.

In this way, the power of each dynasty can be better weakened, making it easier for the Zhou Dynasty to annex these dynasties later.

You know, although Lu Bu and Han Xin said they had taken over these dynasties, in fact they only forcibly controlled the powerful people in these dynasties, so that they had to obey orders.

It wasn't really an invasion that took over these dynasties.

If you want to occupy these dynasties and truly incorporate them into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you need enough soldiers and horses to move in and completely occupy them.

But unfortunately, with the current overall strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are not enough soldiers and horses to bring these dynasty occupations into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"According to the order."

Cao Zhengchun immediately took the order and left.

Zhou Chen looked at Li Si and the other ministers again, and talked about the preparations for the next war.
