Chapter 1251 Emperor Xia's Sincerity

1251

This news was beyond Zhang Jun's expectation. He was devoting himself to construction and increasing the number of people in order to strengthen his power as the Human Emperor. He never expected that the mighty Emperor Xia's army would be so vulnerable, suffering heavy losses in just over a month. Emperor Xia even looked down and asked him to go to the Western Front again, and even called Prince Jing to come along.

The imperial edict who delivered the order had a flattering look on his face. When he saw Zhang Jun, he saluted with his head almost on the ground. He opened his mouth to say "King of Nanhai" and closed his mouth to "King of Nanhai". In fact, Zhang Jun, the King of the South China Sea, is not worthy of his name. He has not even set foot in the South China Sea, and he is still running his Nanhai Kingdom.

The moment he received the imperial edict, Zhang Jun deeply felt that Emperor Xia was so thick-skinned that no official could match him. I just gave him the Nanhai King who looked like a painted cake some time ago, and now I begged him again.

He took the imperial edict and read it over and over several times, seeming to appreciate Emperor Xia's majestic font. But the edict below was constantly wiping cold sweat. Being able to become the edict of Daxia, he was certainly not a fool. He knew that the Emperor of Xia was really unkind to the King of Nanhai some time ago. Now I am begging again and again. Is it any use?

You know, whether it lives up to its name or not, it is a king, with a high degree of autonomy in theory. Even if Daxia encounters a situation and needs to mobilize its troops, it must be done in a consultative tone. If the king is not willing, then Emperor Xia cannot use force.

What the imperial edict is most worried about now is that Zhang Jun will not accept Emperor Xia's order. In that case, he will not be able to explain it when he returns, and he might be killed by Emperor Xia in anger. That's why he behaved so grovelingly to avoid offending Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun read the imperial edict for a long time and suddenly said to the imperial edict: "Thank you for your hard work, Shangguan. Please go to the back hall to rest first."

"What about sending troops to the west?" The imperial edict pitifully hoped to get a positive answer.

Zhang Jun sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I don't have many soldiers and horses in my hands. The previous time I went on an expedition, I had to help from all the princes to barely win. This time Emperor Xia issued an edict, and I should have rushed to the front line at all costs. However, if I have enough ambition but not enough strength, I’m afraid I won’t be able to obey the imperial edict!”

The imperial edict rolled his eyes and felt relieved. Before he came, Emperor Xia specifically told him that if the King of Nanhai still cares about what happened last time, then he should be granted some benefits and the bottom line of the so-called "benefits" should be stated. As long as Zhang Jun's request is not too excessive, then he can do it. promise.

So the imperial edict immediately made an expression of deep understanding, nodded vigorously, and said: "What the prince said is true. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The emperor does not need hungry soldiers. Since Emperor Xia has an edict, Naturally, we have arranged troops and equipment for the prince, which will definitely satisfy the prince."

Zhang Jun thought to himself that this is what I was waiting for, so he mused: "Xia Emperor has considered it so carefully, how can I not go all out? However, can Shangguan tell me about Xia Emperor's arrangements?"

The imperial edict thought to himself, since Emperor Xia gave me the bottom line, then I will follow the bottom line and show my sincerity. In this way, the King of Nanhai will not be difficult for me. Thinking of this, he took out a list from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Jun, and said sincerely: "The prince is a great hero of the Xia Dynasty. I dare not hide anything. The bottom line above is the bottom line given by the Xia Emperor. The junior official told me everything." , I also ask the prince not to refuse anymore, and immediately rush to the front line to turn the tide and save the people of the Western Region from the fire!"

Zhang Jun was stunned and asked, "What happened to the people in the Western Region?"

The imperial edict sighed and said: "Since the defeat of the Great Xia Army, the Demon Clan has marched thirty thousand miles away! Wherever the Demon Army passed, lives were reduced to ashes, bones were everywhere, and countless innocent people were eaten alive. The scene was too horrific to behold. Emperor Xia I once shed tears and blamed myself, and issued three edicts of sin."

Zhang Jun also let out a long sigh. He was well aware of the brutality and cruelty of the Demon Army, and this situation was to be expected. He nodded slowly, without looking at the contents of the list, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor Xia has an order, how dare he disobey it? I will prepare the three armies immediately and can go to the front line within three days!"

The imperial edict was overjoyed that this important matter had been accomplished. After he returned, he was promoted to at least three levels. He immediately said: "Your Majesty is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery, and the world admires him! He will succeed immediately and drive the devil bastards out of Daxia!"

Zhang Jun said calmly: "Shangguan, don't speak secretly in front of a wise man. Eighty billion elite soldiers, nearly twenty heaven-level battleships, millions of chariots and ballistae, and the assistance of Ling Tianhou and Nu Tianhou , but they were unable to defeat the defeated demon army. Is there any other reason for this? "

The imperial edict's face changed, but then he sighed: "Your Majesty has a keen eye, and something has indeed happened. The demon tribe suddenly received a group of reinforcements, which were large in number and equipped with very terrifying weapons. This directly led to The rout of the royal army."

"In that case, why didn't Tianyu send out experts?" Zhang Jun said, "Isn't it worth it for those reclusive experts to take action at this juncture?"

The imperial edict smiled bitterly: "The Heavenly Territory is the bottom line of Daxia. Once the power inside is used, the hostile forces will react immediately. The prince must know that we are not the only big forces nearby. Once Daxia's With all your trump cards exposed to the sun, I'm afraid it will lead to a powerful enemy's plot. "

Zhang Jun immediately recalled the day when the leaders of the five major forces discussed entering the Broken Plane. Just as the edict said, there was more than one major force nearby, and each force had the intention of annexing the others. The reason why they still maintain peace is because each force has not taken action to annex the other's power.

He nodded and said: "Shangguang, please come back. I will leave within three days."

The imperial edict said calmly: "The Emperor of Xia has ordered me to accompany the prince. If the prince has any request, I will give full consideration to it."

Zhang Jun didn't take it too seriously and said, "Okay, then I'll be the official."

After the edict went down, Zhang Jun discussed with everyone the expedition. Bai Yujing, Xie Tianwang, Yuwen Jinghua and others were all present. Zong Yuan looked angry and said bitterly: "This Emperor Xia is so shameless. He just cheated my father, and now he still wants him to go to war? Why? , knowing that I was in danger? If I had known today, why did I do it in the first place?"

Chu Chu smiled slightly and said: "Zong Yuan, this time may not be a bad thing for dad. Didn't Emperor Xia give him a benefit?"

Zong Yuan remembered this question and said quickly: "Dad, what did you give me?"

Zhang Jun smiled slightly and said, "I haven't had time to read it yet, so you can read it to everyone."

Zong Yuan looked surprised and shouted: "What? Dad agreed without even looking at it? What if the things given are not valuable?" As he said, he grabbed the list and read loudly, "Qishiyuan 30% Shares, 300 million taels of top-grade talismans, ten large spiritual veins, five heaven-level battleships, twenty spirit-slaying chariots..."

Thinking of this, Zong Yuan couldn't close his mouth and murmured: "Isn't the emperor being too generous this time?"
