The Dongyi army has retreated, which is good news for the Donghuang army.

After these days of fighting, the Donghuang Army finally defended Dongyan Pass and failed to allow the Dongyi Army to take a step forward into the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is also the only border barrier on the Great Four that has not been breached by aliens.

The plan of the four foreign races to unite and hunt the Central Plains came to an end with the retreat of the Dongyi army.

The final result was that the three alien armies were destroyed and one alien army retreated hastily.

This was a great victory that the Zhou Dynasty had rarely faced against foreigners in many years.

Although Dazhou was passively defensive, the results were shocking.

The Great Zhou Dynasty not only annihilated the armies of the three alien races, but also killed the national divisions of the three alien races within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Such a record has not appeared in Dazhou for many years.

A piece of news spread back to Luoyang from Donghuang.

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen practiced the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique, and a shackle in his body was directly broken.

A powerful aura emanated from Zhou Chen's body.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, shot out a stream of light, and instantly returned to normal.

The aura emanating from his body was also contained.

"The great master."

Zhou Chen's mouth curved slightly.

That's right, Zhou Chen's strength has broken through to the level of a first-grade grandmaster.

In just a few months, Zhou Chen has grown from an ordinary, weak and sickly person with no cultivation to the current level of a great master.

If word of this speed of cultivation spreads, it will definitely scare a large number of people.

You know, even though most people have been practicing for decades, they may not be able to break through to become a great master.

It only took Zhou Chen a few short months to reach a height that others might not be able to reach in decades.

This can no longer be described as genius.

And all this is due to the special features of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique.

The emperor's luck is getting stronger.

The faster the emperor can practice the art of conferring gods.

After Zhou Chen's actions during this period, his luck as emperor has skyrocketed.

This is also the real reason why Zhou Chen was able to break through to the Grand Master in such a short period of time.

At this moment, Cao Shaoqin walked into the Yangxin Hall.

"Your Majesty, news came back from Donghuang that General Zhao severely damaged the Dongyi Imperial Division with one shot."

"Seeing that the situation was not good, the Dongyi army retreated under the cover of darkness that night."

Cao Shaoqin walked into the Yangxin Hall and directly presented the news from Donghuang to Zhou Chen.

oh?

The Donghuang army retreated?

Zhou Chen was stunned and took the news from Donghuang from Cao Shaoqin's hand.

He glanced at it.

"This Dongyi army can sneak away pretty fast."

After reading the news from Donghuang, Zhou Chen couldn't help but sneered.

The retreat of the Dongyi army symbolized the complete failure of the four-party alien race's joint attack on the Zhou Dynasty.

The four borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty were temporarily stable.

Zhou Chen put down the news in his hands and felt much more at ease.

Before the end of the year, the fighting here finally subsided.

As for the retreat of the Dongyi army and the failure of Donghuanghou and Zhao Yun to kill the Dongyi army, Zhou Chen didn't care.

There is ample time.

These foreign races from all over the world dared to jointly attack the Zhou Dynasty, and they also wanted to hunt the Central Plains. This matter would not end like this.

As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could Zhou Chen tolerate the alien invasion of the Great Zhou Dynasty without any counterattack.

In the coming year, Zhou Chen will fight tooth for tooth, hunt outside the pass, and wipe out the foreign races.

When the time comes, the fate of Dongyi's retreating armies will still be the same.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and looked at Cao Shaoqin and said: "Cao Shaoqin, your Dongchang should also pay attention to the news outside the customs. Don't just focus on the big week, but take a longer view."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Shaoqin's eyes flashed and he immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant.

"It seems that Your Majesty is going to attack the alien races outside the customs."

Cao Shaoqin thought secretly in his heart and exited the Nourishing Heart Hall.

…

the next day.

Morning starts.

Early in the morning, all civil and military officials gathered outside the Yangxin Hall.

In the past two days, news of great victories came one after another, which completely calmed down the officials who were originally a little worried.

All the officials gathered together and talked quietly about something.

"Master Fang, who is Zhou Yu this?"

"To actually use fire to burn hundreds of thousands of Southern Barbarian troops to death, it's really unbelievable!"

The Minister of War and Fang Xuanling stood together.

The Minister of War looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise and asked.

News of the great victory in southern Xinjiang has also spread.

Zhou Yu burned hundreds of thousands of Nanman troops to death with a fire, shocking all the officials in the court.

Originally, the previous strategy of the imperial court was to destroy the armies of Xirong and Beidi first, while Southern Xinjiang and Dongyi only had to block the foreign attack first.

After the Xirong and Beidi were annihilated, the Zhou Dynasty turned to deal with the foreign tribes in Southern Xinjiang and Dongyi.

But who would have thought that following Xiliang and Northern Xinjiang, great victories would also come from Southern Xinjiang.

And it was so effortless that hundreds of thousands of Southern Barbarian troops were wiped out with a single fire, which had to surprise all the officials in the imperial court.

None of the officials in the imperial court had heard of Zhou Yu before.

Even Li Yuan, the Minister of War, didn't know who Zhou Yu was, so he asked out of curiosity.

Fang Xuanling smiled slightly; "Zhou Yu is the governor of Pingnan personally appointed by His Majesty. He has the talent to bring peace to the world."

"Lord Li, all you need to know is that with Zhou Yu in southern Xinjiang, the foreign southern barbarians are no longer a threat."

Fang Xuanling didn't say much, but simply said something.

"oh!"

A trace of surprise flashed across Li Yuan's face.

After this period of time, Li Yuan became clear about Fang Xuanling's talents.

It is possible for someone like Fang Xuanling to say that Zhou Yu has the talent to bring peace to the world.

So this Zhou Yu is obviously not an ordinary person.

"Creak."

At this moment, the door of Yangxin Hall was opened.

Li Yuan didn't speak anymore, but he, Fang Xuanling and all the officials walked into the Yangxin Hall one by one.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."

After Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, all the officials knelt down and shouted in unison.

Zhou Chen looked down at the officials and said softly, "Everyone is at peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Baiguan stood up and felt that the emperor Zhou Chen seemed to be in a good mood today.

Zhou Chen glanced at the civil and military officials below and said, "Dear ladies, I received news from Donghuang last night that the Dongyi army has retreated."

As soon as Zhou Chen opened his mouth, he directly told the news that the Dongyi army had retreated.

What?

The Dongyi army retreated?

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials were stunned for a moment, and then all looked happy.

"good."

"The Dongyi army retreated."

"The foreign armies from the other three sides were also destroyed by my Great Zhou. Now my Great Zhou's four borders are stable."

All the civil and military officials were discussing in low voices.

Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, glanced at the civil and military officials and continued, "I am the Celestial Kingdom, but I was invaded by foreign tribes from all directions, and they broke through the three great passes in three directions."

"Although now I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have destroyed the armies of the three foreign tribes, and the Dongyi alien armies have retreated, the majesty of our Great Zhou Dynasty has been lost to the foreign tribes."

"What are you so happy about?"

Zhou Chen scanned the civil and military officials below one by one.

"Just because I, the Great Zhou, blocked the alien attack and the border is stable, are you so happy?"

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace. As an important minister of the Zhou Dynasty, I hope that all of you, dear friends, can have this kind of awareness and vigilance."

"Don't wait until the war is approaching and you are beaten at your doorstep to wake up."

Zhou Chen stood up and walked down the dragon platform step by step.

"I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have accumulated shortcomings for a long time. Since I came to the throne, I have always felt that I am unable to do what I want."

"First, the Wu family's one-party dictatorship, and then the powerful families such as the Yuan family in Runan colluded with the prince to rebel, which caused turmoil in our great Zhou Dynasty, and the decline of national power, which gave foreign races an opportunity to take advantage of."

"But thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, I, Dazhou, have finally overcome this difficult situation."

"I hope that all of you, dear friends, can keep these in mind and sincerely assist me in reviving the Great Zhou, so that the majesty of the Great Zhou can radiate to all directions, and we will no longer suffer from any threats from foreign races."

Zhou Chen's deafening voice echoed in the hall.

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground again and said loudly: "I understand that I am willing to devote myself to the road of reviving the great Zhou Dynasty and die."

"good."

Zhou Chen returned to the dragon throne and looked down at the civil and military officials below; "Then let us, the monarchs and ministers, work together to encourage each other!"

"Start the show."

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne again and started today's morning session.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve.

Today's morning umrah is the last umrah of the year, and many things need to be arranged properly.

In particular, matters related to the four-party border relations after the war need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Afterwards, the civil and military officials began to perform their duties one by one.

…

Southern Xinjiang.

After Zhou Yu burned hundreds of thousands of Southern Barbarian troops to death, he led the Zhennan Army and began to wipe out the Southern Barbarian aliens throughout southern Xinjiang.

In just two days, the Southern Barbarians scattered throughout southern Xinjiang were wiped out.

Even Nanmen Pass has returned to the hands of the Zhennan Army.

However, the Zhennan Army also suffered heavy losses after this battle. The 300,000 Zhennan Army now only had 100,000 troops left.

Two-thirds were killed or injured.

Such losses are not unbearable for the Zhennan Army.

It can be said that the Zhennan Army was already exhausted after this battle.

The palace of the patron king.

Backer King Zhou Zhan looked at the casualties statistics compiled by the Zhennan Army, and his face became ugly for a while.

Even the patron king Zhou Zhan did not expect that his 300,000 Zhennan army would suffer such heavy casualties after this battle.

"Your Majesty, this is all the fault of the general."

"It was the last general who failed to live up to the prince's trust and failed to guard the southern border, which resulted in the fall of Nanmen Pass. He died in battle on Thursday, and the Zhennan Army suffered heavy casualties."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhou Yi knelt on the ground and apologized.

When the patron king Zhou Zhan left, he handed over the power of the Zhennan Army to Zhou Yiyi.

However, he failed to defend the southern frontier on Monday. Nanmen Pass was captured by the Nanman. The entire army guarding Nanmen Pass was wiped out. He died in battle on Thursday.

The Zhennan Army also suffered heavy casualties.

This responsibility must be borne by Zhou Yi, the general who guarded southern Xinjiang after the patron king left.

Backer King Zhou Zhan sighed; "Get up! I can't blame you, you have tried your best."

"Who would have thought that the second child would do such a heinous thing? He really failed to live up to the cultivation that the king has given him."

"I would like your Majesty to state this matter personally."

"Although you lost the Nanmen Pass, you also held back the Southern Barbarian army. You have both merits and demerits, but the merits and demerits are equal to each other!"

Backer King Zhou Zhan said somewhat dullly.

Tuesday is his adopted son, and they have known each other for many years. Although they are not biological father and son, they still have a deep relationship with each other.

Unexpectedly, Tuesday actually committed such a betrayal and directly killed Thursday.

This made the patron king Zhou Zhan feel both resentful and regretful, which was very complicated.

"Thank you stepfather."

Monday stood up and stepped aside.

The temper of patron king Zhou Zhan is very clear on Monday.

Therefore, I didn’t say anything more on Monday.

"Zhou Yu, these are the casualties of the Zhennan Army. Take a look!"

"This time our Zhennan Army has been seriously injured. Two-thirds of our 300,000-strong army have been killed or wounded."

As the patron king Zhou Zhan spoke, he handed the paper in his hand that counted the casualties of the Zhennan Army to Zhou Yu next to him.

Zhou Yu didn't hesitate and directly took the paper handed over by the patron king Zhou Zhan and glanced at it.

Looking at the shocking casualty figures above, Zhou Yu also raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, the Zhennan Army has suffered heavy casualties, please report to the War Department immediately!"

"Give these wounded and wounded soldiers double compensation."

"These soldiers are fighting for me, the Great Zhou Dynasty. I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, cannot treat them badly."

After Zhou Yu saw the casualties of Zhennan Army, he said to his backer king Zhou Zhan.

Zhou Yu understood what patron king Zhou Zhan meant.

Therefore, Zhou Yu said directly.

Backer King Zhou Zhan nodded; "Yes! They are all fighting for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot treat them badly."

"Zhou Yu, I am going to report to Your Majesty, please return to the imperial court and let you take over the Zhennan Army and sit in charge of Southern Xinjiang. What do you think?"

Backer King Zhou Zhan looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's ability was already known to his backer king Zhou Zhan.

With Zhou Yu in charge of southern Xinjiang, Zhou Zhan, the patron king, can rest assured.

The most important thing is that the patron king Zhou Zhan has realized the plan of His Majesty in the palace.

The Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang were captured, and the Zhenbei Army and Xiliang Army were taken over by His Majesty's cronies.

Then the next step is Southern Xinjiang and Donghuang.

Even though the patron king Zhou Zhan was loyal to Zhou Dynasty.

But the backer king Zhou Zhan still understands the principle of once an emperor and one courtier.

Rather than being brought up by His Majesty, it would be better for him to take the initiative to avoid suspicion and give it up.

Besides, his backer, King Zhou Zhan, is also old and is no longer suitable to sit in frontier areas.

Previously, it was because Zhou Zhan felt that the imperial court did not have a suitable candidate to replace him in southern Xinjiang.

But now that Zhou Yu is here, Zhou Zhan can also take off this burden.

Hearing the words of the patron king Zhou Zhan, Zhou Yu's eyes flickered: "Your Majesty, this must be decided by your Majesty."

"Your Majesty asked Yu to take charge of Southern Xinjiang, so Yu will take charge of Southern Xinjiang."

"If Your Majesty asks Yu to go somewhere else, then Yu will have to go somewhere else."

Zhou Yu said softly.

The expression on Zhou Zhou's face changed a bit.

Zhou Yu did not expect that his adoptive father would ask Feng Hui to return to the court and let Zhou Yu take over the Zhennan Army and take charge of southern Xinjiang.

The patron king Zhou Zhan nodded: "You are right, this matter must be decided by His Majesty."

"However, if I tell His Majesty this matter, Your Majesty will probably not object."

Backer King Zhou Zhan said and did not dwell on this topic anymore.

Zhou Zhan just wanted to vaccinate Zhou Yu and Yi Yi in advance so that they would be mentally prepared.
