Chapter 1210 Harmony Between Monarch and Subject

Late at night, Handan City.

In the imperial study room, Di Chen was lying on the armchair, closing his eyes and meditating.

The emergency court meeting that just ended, because of the sudden incident and the limited information, the ministers didn't come up with any effective countermeasures at all, which made Dichen very tired.

The only thing that can be confirmed right now is that Xiong Ba betrayed Da Zhou.

When alone, Di Chen carefully recalled in his mind, recalling Xiongba's performance during this period, but found nothing, Xiongba did not show the slightest abnormality.

"Dogs that don't bark bite people." Di Chen gritted his teeth. At his happiest moment, Xiong Ba stabbed him hard in the stomach, how could he not make Di Chen angry.

In addition to anger, more fear.

Dichen is now very worried that Xiongba's betrayal will cause a chain reaction, and the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was finally gathered together, will fall apart once again.

Therefore, at the just-concluded court meeting, some ministers suggested that, taking advantage of the delay of the Ming army, they ordered the Red Blood Army, which had returned to the Eastern Sea Province, to take down Jianye and destroy Daming.

In this way, Dazhou lost a Jiangnan province, but regained a Donghai province, which has been removed, and it is not a big loss, and the overall situation can still be maintained.

But Dichen refused.

It's not that Di Chen is soft-hearted and unwilling to do anything to his allies, but that Di Chen is worried about Zhan Lang. If the war wolf takes advantage of the situation to seize the East China Sea Province and support himself with troops, the situation will be too bad.

Di Chen had never been able to really get close to Zhan Lang.

"Don't worry!"

Among the several giants of the original [Yanhuang League], Zhanlang was the least involved in faction disputes, and has always been a mediator for all parties. But the more this was the case, the more worried Dichen would be.

Di Chen could see through Sha Po Jun and Chun Shenjun, but he couldn't see through Zhan Lang.

This person hides too deeply, and is so low-key, it feels like he has no desires or desires. The last time power was cut, Wolf Warrior was also the first to stand up and admit defeat.

From Di Chen's point of view, this is too abnormal.

Moreover, among Di Chen and the others, Zhan Lang had the deepest friendship with Ouyang Shuo. When Daxia founded the dynasty, Zhan Lang also went to congratulate on behalf of [Yanhuang League].

How could Dichen feel relieved when fighting against the wolf?

Although he was wary of Wolf Warriors, Dichen couldn't tell the truth at the court meeting. Faced with the suggestions of the ministers, he just said: "Take it easy for now, and make a decision after receiving further information tomorrow."

Jianye City can't run away, so there is no need to rush.

If he really wanted to seize the opportunity to conquer Daming, Di Chen would rather let the Danyang Army go out than let the Red Blood Army go through this muddy water, "Forget it, it's time to have a real confrontation with Lord Chunshen."

Di Chen realized that in the current situation, he had to find a reliable ally.

Only by winning over Mr. Chunshen can the war wolf take more care, and then control the dangerous part of Da Zhou so that it will not really fall apart.

"It's just that it's not easy to feed Chun Shenjun, a hungry wolf."

Undoubtedly, Di Chen was about to bleed again this time.

September 2nd, Overlord City.

Because of the existence of the communication compass, the surprise attack last night could not be hidden from the Ming army stationed in the border town. After receiving the news that the headquarters was attacked, the defenders of the eleven border towns responded in different ways.

Some set off overnight and rushed towards Bawang City aggressively, trying to rescue the commander Xu Da and his party;

The next day, the Ming army heading towards Bawang City was ambushed by the Bawang army on the way, and ended in a disastrous defeat.

This time, the remaining Ming army became even more terrified.

The next thing is simple. Under the pincer attack from north to south by the Great Xia Army and Bawang Army, the more than 300,000 Ming troops could not even retreat. They either died in battle or surrendered.

In less than a week, the 400,000 Ming troops that set out on the expedition were declared destroyed.

On the same day when the Ming army was wiped out, Xiongba announced that the southern provinces, together with the Overlord's army, would all belong to the Great Xia Dynasty and be at the mercy of the King of Xia.

Ouyang Shuo also cooperated very well and brought Shenwuwei to Bawang City.

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

This is the most explosive news in Huaxia District in Gaia's six years.

One of the giants of the Great Thursday resolutely surrendered to the Great Xia before the Great Zhou fell.

Some applaud Daxia, and some despise Xiongyu's behavior.

Throughout the ages, "seeking glory against the master" has always been the behavior of a villain. Although Dichen is not the master of Xiongba, Da Zhou is Xiongba's "home" after all, and Xiongba's infamy is inevitable.

No matter what, in the end, all the discussions converged into one sentence: "Da Zhou is about to perish!"

Indeed, in such a situation, no player would think that the Great Zhou Dynasty can come back, not to mention the comeback, how long the Great Zhou Dynasty can last is a question.

The voice of Great Xia to unify China is getting louder and louder, and it is becoming more and more obvious.

The shadow that covers the sky and the sun hangs over the Great Zhou Dynasty.

…………

September 9th, Overlord City.

Knowing that Ouyang Shuo was coming, Xiong Ba led the civil and military officials from the Jiangnan Province to wait in the square early. At nine o'clock in the morning, surrounded by Shenwuwei, Ouyang Shuo walked out of the teleportation array.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Xiongba led the civil and military officials in the south of the Yangtze River to perform the ceremony of paying respects to the emperor and his ministers, making the people around him pay attention.

Ouyang Shuo stepped forward quickly, grabbed Xiongba's arm with both hands, pulled him up, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiongba came to vote, it's a blessing for Daxia, don't be so polite."

Seeing this, the tense expressions of the civil and military officials in the south of the Yangtze River finally relaxed a little.

Due to the need for secrecy, not to mention civil servants, even Wu Qi, the commander of the Overlord Army, only got the news two days before the incident. It is normal for a sudden change of camp to make a detour.

Fortunately, the Xiongba family has cultivated deeply in the south of the Yangtze River, and finally there was no major trouble.

Seeing that King Xia is so affectionate to Lord Hou, and is still called a brother, the Jiangnan officials finally feel better. Some officials have already thought in their hearts that perhaps it would be a good choice to join Daxia.

Ouyang Shuo got close, but Xiong Ba didn't dare to go too far.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the special circumstances, a Jiangnan province would be nothing to the current Great Xia Dynasty. For the Xiongba family to gain a foothold in Daxia, the capital is not very strong.

Under such circumstances, if Xiongba still doesn't know what to do, then the situation in Daxia in the future may be very difficult.

"Your Majesty is flattering you, but my ministers will never dare to do so." After speaking, Xiongba turned around, "Please let my ministers introduce the civil and military officials from the Jiangnan Province to the King."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and let the matter go.

After the simple welcoming ceremony was over, Ouyang Shuo was welcomed into the governor's office. As soon as he sat down, Xiong Ba took the initiative to say: "I request to resign from the post of governor of Jiangnan, and I ask the king for permission."

Ouyang Shuo narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect Xiongba to be so knowledgeable. He didn't like to play tricks, so he said with a smile, "In that case, let's appoint you as the Zizhengge University for the time being." Before the new governor of Jiangnan takes office, he will assist in the military and political affairs of Jiangnan. When he returns to the capital, he will appoint a new post."

"promise!"

Xiongba knew that among the official ranks of the Great Xia, the Grand Master of the Zizheng Pavilion was the third rank, at the same level as the governor of the province, which meant that his future position in the Great Xia would never be lower than that of the governor.

After deciding on the most important thing, the two talked in secret for a whole day about the follow-up arrangement of the Jiangnan Province.

Early the next morning, Ouyang Shuo, accompanied by Xiongba, inspected the Bawang Army and the counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, showing the outside world a scene of harmony between the monarch and his subjects, so as to appease the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

…………

While Ouyang Shuo was patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, an intriguing incident happened. The Red Blood Army who appeared in the Eastern Sea Province did not go to the southern Anhui Province to garrison as ordered by the imperial court, but stayed in the Red Blood City.

Wolf Warrior's move once again caused a lot of discussion in the outside world.

Some people think that Wolf Warrior wants to take the opportunity to attack Daming, others think that Wolf Warrior wants to imitate Xiongba and then join Daxia, and some people think that Wolf Warrior is just sitting on the ground to raise prices and wrestle with Di Chen.

No one knows what the wolf warrior is thinking.

Xie Xuan, the commander of the Red Blood Army, said, "The army is quite tired after returning from the battle and needs to rest. Moreover, the soldiers are missing their loved ones after returning from the expedition, so they have to stay in the Red Blood City for a while."

Although Xie Xuan made a strong oath, no one would believe it.

Di Chen was the most difficult one. He could neither force Zhan Lang to lead his troops to leave the Scarlet Blood Army nor accuse Zhan Lang of being a traitor. That would only push Zhan Lang to Great Xia.

During this period, Di Chen kept communicating with Wolf Warrior and made a lot of promises, that is, to tie Wolf Warrior to the chariot of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

For this reason, Di Chen even promised to let Zhan Lang continue to serve as the governor of the East China Sea after defeating the Ming Dynasty. But no matter what Di Chen promised, Zhan Lang remained silent, neither agreeing nor objecting.

Things just stalemate.
