Chapter 239 Your Majesty, there is news from southern Xinjiang

Outside Dongyan Pass.

Dongyi army barracks.

The fire raged into the sky and the fighting continued.

After Zhao Yun killed the Dongyi King and several Dongyi generals with one shot, he led the white horse Yi Cong to continue to attack the Dongyi army.

As soon as King Dongyi died, the Dongyi army immediately became chaotic.

Under the attack of Donghuanghou and Dianwei in the front and Zhao Yun in the back, the Dongyi army collapsed after not holding on for a few minutes.

The entire Dongyi Camp was in chaos for a while.

…

Half a day later.

The sound of fighting in the Dongyi camp stopped, and the fire slowly extinguished.

The entire Dongyi Camp returned to calm.

Donghuang Hou looked at the corpses on the ground covered in blood, with a hearty smile on his face.

King Dongyi is dead.

Dongyi's army was also defeated by them.

Then they will kill Dongyi next, there is no suspense anymore.

Donghuang Hou really didn't expect that one day he, Donghuang Hou, would be able to defeat the Dongyi aliens outside the pass.

Just thinking about it makes Donghuanghou tremble with energy.

On the other hand, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun next to them looked at the corpses on the ground without any unnecessary changes in their expressions.

They are just alien ants. In the eyes of outstanding people like them, there is nothing to be thankful for in defeating the alien race.

"General Zhao, we were able to defeat the Dongyi army this time, thanks to General Zhao and his white horse followers, who raided from the rear of the Dongyi army."

"Otherwise, it would not be so easy to defeat the Dongyi army."

Donghuang Hou looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile.

really.

If Zhao Yun hadn't led the white horse Yi Cong to raid the Dongyi army camp from behind, the entire Dongyi camp would have been in chaos.

It is not so easy for them to defeat the Dongyi army.

After all, Dongyi is attacking Dongyan Pass with all his troops this time.

Although Dongyi's army has suffered heavy losses in attacking Dongyan Pass these days, the strength of Dongyi's army is still several times theirs.

The Dongyi army has so many troops. If the Dongyi camp had not been in chaos, they would have to pay a high price if they wanted to defeat them.

"The Marquis is so complimentary. This is all His Majesty's arrangement."

"Now that the King of Dongyi is dead and the Dongyi army has been defeated, we should quickly send out troops to sweep away the various tribes of Dongyi and annihilate them."

Zhao Yun looked at Donghuang Hou and said.

Marquis Donghuang nodded; "General Zhao is right, it is time to take advantage of the current great victory and send troops immediately to march into Dongyi."

"Don't give Dongyi any time to react," Donghuang Hou said.

Afterwards, Donghuang Hou, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei led their army and headed straight for Dongyi.

…

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen buried his head in reviewing the memorial.

At this time, a chamberlain guard came in.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao is asking for an audience outside the palace."

The house guard and factory guard came in and reported.

"Let him in."

Zhou Chen said something without raising his head.

The house guard and factory guard bowed and retreated.

moment.

Xiao He then walked into the Yangxin Hall.

"I have met His Majesty."

Xiao He walked into the Yangxin Hall and bowed respectfully to Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon throne.

"No gifts!"

Zhou Chen raised his head and looked at Xiao He; "How are you discussing the arrangements for the war between Xirong and Beidi?"

Although Zhou Dynasty sent troops to destroy Xirong and Beidi, what happened after the battle was not at all easier than sending troops to deal with Xirong and Beidi.

"Reporting to your Majesty, this is exactly why I came here."

"This is the result of discussions between the minister and several ministers from the six ministries, including the establishment of the government and the disposal of prisoners."

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Xiao He took out a memorial from his sleeve and said.

Upon seeing this, the inner chamber guard in the palace immediately stepped forward to take the memorial from Xiao He and presented it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took the memorial from the hand of the inner chamber guard.

Opened it and looked at it.

This is the specific arrangement for the lands outside the Pass that Xiao He and the others have negotiated.

After Zhou Chen finished reading Xiao He's memorial, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiao He: "Xiao He, if Beidi is changed to Beidu Prefecture, we will do it according to the result you discussed."

"Later, Nanman and Dongyi will also follow this method."

"You should select suitable officials as soon as possible and send them to Beidu Prefecture and Xidu Prefecture."

Zhou Chen said to Xiao He.

There is a prefecture outside the pass, and Xirong and Beidi each have a prefecture. Zhou Chen has no objection to this.

Anyway, Beidi and Xirong were destroyed, and the lands where Beidi and Xirong lived were included in his territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It is also natural to set up a separate government, which will also facilitate governance and management.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao He bowed and said.

Later, Xiao He reported some court matters to Zhou Chen and left the Yangxin Hall.

Not a few minutes after Xiao He left, Cao Zhengchun hurriedly walked into the Yangxin Hall.

"His Majesty."

"The patron king defeated the southern barbarian army in the quicksand forest outside Nanmen Pass, and the barbarian king was beheaded by Lu Bu."

"This is news from southern Xinjiang. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Cao Zhengchun sent the news in his hand directly to Zhou Chen.

"oh!"

Zhou Chen was shocked and immediately took the news from southern Xinjiang from Cao Zhengchun's hand.

Glanced at it.

There were not many words, but the content brought a smile to Zhou Chen's lips.

"Once the Barbarian King dies and the Southern Barbarian army is defeated, the outcome of the Southern Barbarians will be no surprise."

Zhou Chen put down the message in his hand and said with a smile.

Now that Beidi and Xirong have been destroyed, it is only a matter of time before the Southern Barbarians are destroyed.

Among the foreign tribes from all directions, Dongyi are the only ones left.

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun and asked, "Is there any news from Donghuang?"

Cao Zhengchun shook his head; "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no news from Donghuang yet."

Zhou Chen heard this and said nothing more.

In Zhou Chen's opinion, if there are no big surprises on Dongyi's side, there will be no suspense about Dongyi's victory.

Once the foreign races from all directions were wiped out, the foreign enemies of the Great Zhou Dynasty were temporarily cleared.

…

Lingnan.

Government office.

Xun Yu looked at the amount of land measured and counted in his hands, his eyes flickering.

Previously, although the Song family ostensibly agreed to cooperate with Xun Yu in measuring and counting their land, they still used a lot of tricks behind the scenes.

And Xun Yu relied on his own ability to measure and calculate more than 80% of the entire Lingnan Prefecture in these days.

But there are still a small 20% that have not been completely counted.

In addition to the Song family's secret manipulation of these unmeasured and calculated lands, there are also other aristocratic families who have secretly manipulated them.

These people are either uncooperative, or they are just some smiling tigers who are playing tricks.

This gave Xun Yu a little headache.

Cao Shaoqin next to him glanced at Xun Yu; "Xun Shangshu, according to the governor's wishes, we should take action directly and let the Song family have a taste of my Dongchang's methods."

"This way they can know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

Cao Shaoqin said softly.

Do the four powerful members of the Song family really think they can sit back and relax and no one dares to touch them?

Cao Shaoqin is not afraid.

Others are worried about the four great families like the Song family, but he, Cao Shaoqin, is not worried about it.

If it weren't for the fact that the land surveying and statistics work was mainly done by Xun Yu's household department, with Dongchang as a auxiliary, assisting Xun Yu.

Xun Yu did not nod in agreement.

Maybe Cao Shaoqin had already used force against the Song family.

Hearing Cao Shaoqin's words, Xun Yu looked at Cao Shaoqin and smiled slightly: "Director Cao, this game must have rules."

"Since the Song family has cooperated with the imperial court in measuring and counting the land, if we attack the Song family again, it will put the imperial court at a disadvantage."

"This Song family is not an ordinary family. Because of this matter, it is not worth going to war against the Song family."

Xun Yu was not a soft-hearted person.

If the Song family did not cooperate with the court, Xun Yu would directly attack the Song family without saying anything.

But now, the Song family is cooperating with the court and just using some tricks behind the scenes.

If it was because of this matter, they would go to war against the Song family.

That would not only put the court at a disadvantage, but also prove that Xun Yu was incompetent and unable to deal with the Song family's secret tactics.

This would affect the prestige of Xun Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, in the imperial court.

"Xun Shangshu, but we don't have extra time to quarrel with the Song family here."

Cao Shaoqin has already seen Xun Yu's abilities these days.

There is no problem in dealing with the Song family's various methods, but the problem is that they don't have too much time to contend with the Song family here.

Xun Yu put down the land measurement and statistics data in his hand and nodded; "Yes! We don't have too much time to quarrel with the Song family. There are other lands waiting for us to measure and calculate!"

"These are the Song families that were captured before the Song family counterattacked Dongchang. They don't want us to have an easy time."

"However, now that the imperial court is exterminating the aliens outside the customs, wealthy families like the Song family should have received the news."

"If they are smart, they will know what to do next."

Xun Yu's eyes flickered inexplicably.

"Director Cao, pack up, it's time for us to leave."

Xun Yu glanced at Cao Shaoqin and said.

What?

leave?

Cao Shaoqin was obviously stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly.

"Xun Shangshu, the land in Lingnan Prefecture has not been measured and counted. We just left like this. The other land will not be measured and counted?"

Cao Shaoqin looked at Xun Yu with a frown, somewhat confused as to what Xun Yu meant.

Xun Yu put away the measured data in his hand and stood up; "Just leave the rest to the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs below. We can go to the next place."

Xun Yu said without explaining much.

When Cao Shaoqin heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately understood what Xun Yu meant.

Now, the imperial court has exterminated the foreign races outside the pass, and with the momentum of great victory, it has a considerable deterrent effect on these wealthy families.

If these wealthy families were smart enough, they would not dare to make any more mistakes unless they wanted to seek death.

…

Song family.

In the meeting hall.

The head of the Song family sat on the main seat.

Sitting below are the leaders of each branch of the Song family.

The head of the Song family glanced at everyone present and said, "You should already know the news that the imperial court sent troops outside the pass to annihilate Xirong and Beidi, so I won't say more."

"I summoned you today because I have another news to tell you."

"The imperial court secretly transferred the six guards of Shenwu from the northern camp of Luoyang and went to Southern Xinjiang and Donghuang respectively."

"News just came that the patron king and the Shenwu guards defeated the southern barbarian army in the quicksand forest outside the pass. The barbarian king was beheaded by Lu Bu."

"And Dongyi was defeated by Xiao Qi of the Wuzhi family and the Shenwu Guard outside Dongyan Pass. The king of Dongyi was killed by Zhao Yun. Xiao Qi of the Wuzhi family has already sent troops to Dongyi."

"You don't need to say more, you should all know what this means?"

The head of the Song family looked at the leaders of the various branches below, and his voice showed no sign of anger.

But his tone was extremely cautious.

What?

The imperial court also defeated the armies of Nanman and Dongyi and killed the king of Nanman and Dongyi?

The heads of various branches of the Song family present here were all shocked when they heard this.

They did not expect that after the imperial court destroyed Xirong and Beidi, it would quickly defeat the armies of the Southern Barbarians and Dongyi, and even kill the Barbarian and Dongyi kings.

This really surprised them.

In this way, when the imperial court sent troops to deal with Xirong and Beidi, it was probably already planned, and even the Southern Barbarians and Dongyi were involved.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the imperial court to have just destroyed Xirong and Beidi, and then so quickly defeated the armies of the Southern Barbarians and Dongyi, and also killed the Barbarian and Dongyi kings.

The Man King and the Dong Yi King died.

The Nanman army and the Dongyi army were defeated.

Then the ending of Nanman and Dongyi can be imagined.

"In this way, it is a foregone conclusion that the Nanman and Dongyi will be destroyed."

"First it was Xirong and Beidi, and now it is Nanman and Xirong. All foreign races from all directions were destroyed by the imperial court. Your Majesty in the palace is not simple!"

One of the principals said with a serious expression.

"Yes! For many years, Da Zhou has been trying to destroy the alien races outside the Pass, but he has never succeeded."

"I didn't expect that it would be done by His Majesty in the palace. It's really unbelievable!"

Another person in charge also sighed.

What Zhou Chen had wanted to do for many years but had not been able to do was now done by Zhou Chen.

This is indeed a bit unexpected for everyone.

"The foreign races from all directions were destroyed by the imperial court, so what the imperial court will do next may be related to the measurement and statistics of the land."

"Our trouble is coming."

"That's right, although I still don't know the real purpose of the person in the palace who measures and counts the world's land, but I guess it's not a good thing."

"If the man in the palace really wants to acquire land, he will be in big trouble."

The other principals all spoke to each other with solemn expressions.

They know better than anyone that the imperial court must have an ulterior motive in measuring and calculating the world's land.

Now, the imperial court has wiped out the foreign races from all directions, and its strength is no longer what it used to be. If it really wants to gain land, the first people who will be unlucky are wealthy families like them.

The head of the Song family listened to everyone's words and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the purpose of the imperial court's land measurement and statistics is, from now on, our Song family will cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue to measure and count the land in Lingnan, and don't do any other actions.

"

"The imperial court destroyed foreign tribes from all directions and led a great victory. It is no longer what it used to be."

"If you continue to do those actions in secret, you will annoy the man in the palace."

"When the time comes, it will do no good to our Song family if the one in the palace gets angry."

The head of the Song family reminded the leaders of the various branches of the Song family present.

In order to prevent the leaders of these branches from getting confused and causing some serious disaster to the Song family.

After hearing the words of the head of the Song family, the heads of the various branches of the Song family were unwilling to let the imperial court measure and count their land.

But they knew that the head of the Song family was right. The current court was no longer what it used to be. It was different from before.

Even the foreign races from all directions were wiped out by the imperial court, which shows how powerful the imperial court was.

If they really pissed off the man in the palace, the Song family might not be able to do anything good with the man in the palace's style of doing things.

Just like the Yuan family in Runan and the Zheng family in Rongyang, the seven great families, the one in the palace was destroyed without even saying they were going to be destroyed.

Therefore, the heads of each branch of the Song family nodded silently to the words of the head of the Song family and said nothing more.
