Chapter 655: Conferring the King

"King Feng..."

Chu Tian was a little surprised when he received Lao Qin's notice.

Lao Qin controls the emperor, and the current rules are basically formulated by Lao Qin. He suddenly wanted to be crowned king, and let the princes choose their own king title.

Destroying Mobei's threat to the empire is enough to be crowned king.

What surprised Chu Tian was that Lao Qin, as an opponent, even took the initiative to greet him and treat all the princes equally.

"King Qi, King Wei... or..."

Instead, Chutian fell into a dilemma of choice.

"come in."

When Chu Tian was considering the title of king, Xia Liang brought Xiao Chuo in.

"Ding! The imperial civil servant Xiao Chuo pledges allegiance to you."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Chuo came in, Chu Tian received a reminder of her allegiance.

Chu Tian looked at Xia Liang, who did not expect that she would actually be able to persuade Xiao Chuo to surrender.

Chu Tian could finally see Xiao Chuo's panel.

[Special arms]: Belonging to the Shan army (sixth-level light cavalry, the upper limit is 20,000)

...

Chu Tian looked at Xiao Chuo's panel, and he was indeed a quadathlon. Even with the worst force value, he has a certain ability to protect himself. Unless he encounters a fierce general, he will not be easily killed or captured.

The most important thing is Xiao Chuo's two auxiliary effects, which can improve the husband's legion attributes.

This means that if Xiao Chuo's effect is to be brought into full play, one must...

However, Xiao Chuo's loyalty is very low, with a loyalty of 60, it's hardly loyal. She just chose to surrender in desperation.

Xia Liang saw Xiao Chuo's panel through Chutian's system.

"You really are playing her tricks."

Seeing the conditions for Xiao Chuo's characteristics to play out, Xia Liang hummed.

She and Xiao Chuo's "Heroine Advent" effect superimposes, which is equivalent to obtaining an enhanced aura of the whole army.

Xiao Chuo also realized that all his abilities could be effective, and special conditions were needed, otherwise they would not be effective.

"Old Qin wants to invite the son of heaven to make all the princes kings. I plan to invite you to be the king of Xia. You will be the concubine of Xia, and Wu'er will be the next heir to the king of Xia."

In order to appease Xia Liang, Chu Tian revealed his decision.

"Princess Xia?"

Both Xia Liang and Xiao Chuo were a little shocked.

Xiao Chuo took a light breath, and she looked at Xia Liang. With Xia Liang's status, she seemed to try to please her if she wanted to get along in the future.

And behind Xialiang, there are Hua Mulan, Joan of Arc and others supporting them.

"Xiao Chuo is temporarily handed over to you to manage."

Seeing that Xiao Chuo's loyalty is not high, Chu Tian can only ask Xia Chuo to train Xiao Chuo in order to prevent her from betraying or escaping.

Xiao Chuo is obviously an auxiliary legendary hero, and it can also improve the abilities of Khitan generals, which is very practical.

"You follow Miss Xia and don't make trouble. After you serve me sincerely, you will lead the Shan army."

Because the system panel can see the loyalty (hidden ambition value cannot be seen), so Chu Tian can probably judge Xiao Chuo's loyalty.

Before Xiao Chuo's loyalty reaches 80 or above, she cannot be allowed to command the Shan army, otherwise she may betray herself at any time.

Although the loyalty was not high, Xiao Chuo pledged his allegiance, and the Khitan warrior Xiao Talin also pledged his allegiance to Chutian.

"Ding! King-rank general Xiao Talin pledges his allegiance to you."

【Name】: Xiao Talin

[Talent]: King-level General

【Level】: 60

[Identity]: General of the Liao Kingdom

【Loyalty】: 55

[Commander]: 78 (maximum 81)

[Force]: 90 (maximum 92)

[Intelligence]: 55 (maximum 60)

[Politics]: 45 (maximum 51)

【Charm】: 62

[phase]: reckless

[favorability]: 56

[Characteristic 1]: Khitan Pioneer (S-level exclusive feature, when serving as a vanguard, army attack power +17%, personal attack power +23%)

[Characteristic 2]: Suppression (A-level characteristic, when crusading rebels, legion attack power +7%; when garrisoning troops, local rebellion probability decreases)

...

Chu Tian knew a little about Xiao Talin. This man was the vanguard general who attacked the Northern Song Dynasty and captured Yang Ye. Unfortunately, he was shot and killed by the bed crossbow of the Song Army.

If there is Xiao Chuo's bonus, then Xiao Talin's martial power can reach up to 94, which can be regarded as a good general.

Like Xiao Chuo, Xiao Talin has not yet served sincerely, but Xiao Chuo surrendered, and Xiao Talin also chose to surrender.

Theoretically, the combination of Xiao Chuo, Yeluxiu, Yelu Xiezhen, and Xiao Talin is the dream combination that defeated the Northern Song Dynasty in history.

The core hero is still Xiao Chuo.

Basically, as long as Xiao Chuo's loyalty is increased, Xiao Talin's loyalty will also increase.

"Chu Zimou intends to invite King Xia? Is Mingguan confirmed?"

"Mingguan asks for the title of King Ming, Tongque asks for the title of King Wu."

"so be it."

After Lao Qin determined the king titles of each prince, he ordered people to operate in Chang'an.

All the order of the Han Empire was determined by the princes of the Han Empire, and their decisions could reshape the order.

In order not to become the target of public criticism, Lao Qin decided to become king with all the princes, otherwise other princes might find an excuse to attack him.

The princes are also willing to be kings.

Throughout the ages, how many people can be called kings?

Even if you fail to compete in the Central Plains, as long as you once became king and left records, then you will have no regrets in this life.

In Chang'an City, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie looked helpless, and Li Si, on behalf of the princes from all over the country, asked for the title of king.

Zhu Jun, Wang Yun and other ministers did not dare to come out to oppose the aggressive Li Si.

The entire court is under the control of Lao Qin.

The feudal lords moved to the Western Regions and Mobei, and their contribution has far surpassed that of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the past. Except for being crowned king, the emperor of Han has nothing to reward.

Moreover, the world has changed, and it is no longer the world of the Liu family.

"allow."

Liu Xie's voice was immature, and he didn't realize what it meant.

There is only one step between becoming a king and becoming an emperor. Whoever can unify the Han Empire can basically become an emperor and change dynasties.

In the ninth year of the feudal lordship calendar, tens of thousands of feudal lords were eliminated after a long campaign in the Eastern Han Dynasty, leaving only a handful of princes.

Chutian served as King Xia of the Han Empire, General, and Shepherd of Jizhou.

Lao Qin served as King Qin of the Han Empire, General of Chariots and Captain of Sili.

Ming Guan served as King Ming of the Han Empire, General Hussars, and Shepherd of Youzhou.

Tongque served as the King of Wu, General Wei, and Yangzhou Shepherd of the Han Empire.

Yang Shilang served as King Song of the Han Empire, General Zhengnan, and Shepherd of Jingzhou.

Wang Defa served as King Yue of the Han Empire, General of Zhennan, and Shepherd of Jiaozhou.

Huo An served as King Liang of the Han Empire, General Zhengxi, and Protector of the Western Regions.

Because the princes of Yizhou were busy with the civil war and did not make any contribution to deal with Temujin, Lao Qin directly ignored the princes of Yizhou and did not crown the princes of Yizhou as kings.

Because of the special relationship between Nanzhong lord Mu Ke and Huo An, after Huo An became the king, he no longer asked for the kingship.

All princes and kings can open palaces.

Chutian opened the Xia Palace, with Xialiang as Xia's princess, and Hua Mulan enjoyed the same treatment as Xia's princess. As for the later saints Joan of Arc and Roufu Diji, their status was relatively low.

Ekaterina does not belong to the Han Empire, she is the grand duke herself, and she doesn't care about the location of the Xia Palace.

Xia Wangfu set up a Shangshu, and the elder Fang Xuanling was the Shangshu Ling.

At the same time, the Xia Palace began to set up a framework of six departments. The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry each have talent management, forming their own system.

The Ministry of War is just an administrative agency, and only King Xia has the real power to mobilize the army.

When King Xia is ill, Princess Xia can command the army for a short time. After King Xia recovers, he needs to return the military power to King Xia.

Chu Tian has always held the general power in his own hands, and he alone can mobilize millions of troops.

The Ministry of Officials manages personnel assessment, promotion, etc., and Du Ruhui and other civil officials are in charge.

The household department manages fields, household registration, taxes, and salaries, and Sang Hongyang, Li Kui and others are responsible.

The Ministry of Rites manages education, ceremonies, etc., and Zhang Zhao and other civil officials are in charge.

The Ministry of Punishment manages penalties, etc., and Chen Qun and other civil officials are in charge.

The Ministry of Industry manages civil engineering, and Li Jie and other civil officials are in charge.

As for the departments related to marching and fighting, King Xia was in charge of each legion, and set up divisions of counselors, logistics, armaments, training, and supervision, independent of the six administrative departments.

In Chutian's view, marching and fighting must be separated from administration, otherwise the legion would be easily controlled by literati.

Each legion is managed by military divisions to improve efficiency.

In addition to Chutian himself proclaiming King Xia, all the generals under his command were also promoted.

The news that the princes of the Han Empire became kings spread, causing panic in all the civilizations around the Han Empire.

The vassals are kings, which means that the scale of the war is larger.

The turmoil in Mobei was basically over, and Lao Qin commanded the army to drive the plundered population back to Yinzhou.

"Ahem... Becoming the King of Qin, I will have no regrets in this life. The Mongol Empire is destroyed, and the next step may be a civil war. How about the Ming Pass?"

Lao Qin coughed twice, and Yang Big Eye followed him as a guard.

Jia Xu said: "Mingguan and Wang Defa met Wanyan Aguda in the east, and a big battle broke out. They defeated Wanyan Aguda and returned to Yuerhai."

"Only by uniting to clear the customs can we have a fight."

Lao Qin knew that his power could not compete with Chu Tian, ​​and Ming Guan, an ally, had established an alliance a long time ago.

"I don't know how Xie Ai and others have calmed down Xiqiang."

Lao Qin also thought of the Qiang tribe in the west.

Some Qiang tribes have aggressive folk customs and are not so easy to deal with.

In Jincheng County, general Xie Ai in white, together with Pang De and surrendered general Li Yuanhao, led Huang Zhongyi Conghu and Xixia Tie Yaozi to attack Xiqiang.

Immediately, Pang De slashed his sword, squinted his eyes, and looked at the Qiang army on the opposite side.

The equipment of this group of Qiang army is obviously not as good as that of the officers and soldiers. Under the command of a Qiang leader, they confront the officers and soldiers with various weapons.

Pang Delang said: "Han has prestige and prestige, and he leads all nations. Under the sun and moon, they are all concubines. Yao Yizhong, you secretly unified the various tribes of the Western Qiang and attempted to rebel. Why don't you surrender?!"

The leader of the Qiang people, with gray hair on his temples, and his son commanded the army of the Qiang people. Hearing Pang De's persuasion to surrender, he replied: "If you want to fight, then fight!"

"act recklessly!"

Pang De led Huang Zhongyi from Hu to attack the coalition forces of the Xiqiang tribes.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in Huang Zhongyi Conghu, who hesitated.

"This person has the ability to influence the Qiang people."

Xie Ai subdued Huang Zhongyi Conghu, and he hesitated when he saw that Huang Zhongyi Conghu was influenced by the leader of the Qiang people, Yao Yizhong. He knew that Yao Yizhong, as the leader of the Qiang people, had special abilities.

"Yao Xiang, kill the enemy general!"

Yao Yizhong ordered his son Yao Xiang to lead 3,000 Qiang cavalry to attack Xie Ai tentatively.

Xie Ai rode in a carriage, wearing a white cap, calmly, and ordered all the troops not to move.

Xixia King Li Yuanhao frowned: "The enemy army is approaching, why not give up the carriage and fight on horseback?"

"otherwise."

Xie Ai remained motionless.

"Is there an ambush?"

The Qiang general Yao Xiang approached Xie Ai, but found that Xie Ai was extremely calm and couldn't help hesitating.

"This man is dressed as a scholar, I'm afraid there is an ambush, retreat!"

Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang people, also hesitated. In order to prevent his son from being killed by an ambush, he finally chose to recall Yao Xiang.

"kill!"

At this moment, the fierce general Xu Huang led his troops to cut off the retreat of the Qiang army from the small path, and rushed out from behind the Qiang army!

"It's time to attack."

Seeing that Yao Xiang was retreating and Xu Huang was in position, Xie Ai took advantage of the momentum to attack.

Li Yuanhao looked at the white-clothed scholar twice in surprise, and then commanded Xixia Tie Yaozi to attack the Qiang army.

The Qiang army hesitated, and was flanked by officers and soldiers, and was completely defeated.

Pang De broke into the enemy's formation and fought with Yao Xiang. The two generals fought. Yao Xiang was eight feet five inches long, and his force was not low. He would not be at a disadvantage for a while.

"There are people in Xiliang, they are invincible!"

Yao Yizhong was defeated and feared Xie Ai.

The Xiliang War was just a small episode during the Mobei War. Not many people noticed this war. Xiqiang was still fighting stubbornly, but it was basically suppressed.

"It's time for us to return to Xia City."

Chu Tian appointed Prince Yan to manage Mobei, Fan Zhongyan assisted Prince Yan to appease the various tribes in Mobei, and Di Qing was the main general to crusade against disobedient tribes.

In addition, Li Mu led a cavalry, prepared cattle, sheep, food and grass, and went to conquer the Lake Baikal area, with the purpose of occupying the third large city.

"Xia City..."

Xiao Chuo found that she could no longer escape, and Chu Tian ordered the Women's Army to guard her strictly. Once she arrived in Xia City, she might not be able to leave...

"Or, try to please him..."

Xiao Chuo is also hesitating.

It is estimated that the remnants of the Liao Kingdom fled back to the Horqin Grassland, sandwiched between the two forces of Chutian and Mingguan, with no future.

If he tried to please King Xia, he might be able to win some conditions for the Khitan tribe.

King Xia's title is already equivalent to the current King Liao, and also meets Xiao Chuo's conditions.

Although Xiao Chuo was worried, he was taken to Xia City.
