Chapter 341 Have you found out the details of all local officials?

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Xiao He, Fang Xuanling and other ministers have already retired.

Only Jia Xu, an imperial official, was retained by Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne and glanced at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, have you found out the details of all the local officials?"

Jia Xu nodded; "Reporting to your majesty, with the secret help of Dongchang, I have found out the details of various local officials."

Jia Xu, the imperial official, seemed to be keeping a low profile during this period and did nothing.

But in fact, Jia Xu was secretly trying to find out the details of local officials.

This is one of the reasons why Emperor Zhou Chen appointed Jia Xu as the imperial official.

The duty of the imperial officials is to monitor the officials.

Zhou Chen appointed Jia Xu as the official official in order to find out the details of local officials so as to prepare for the rectification of officialdom.

"That's good."

"Then let's take this opportunity to start rectifying my official administration in Dazhou and clean up those unstable factors."

Zhou Chen said with twinkling eyes.

Zhou Chen thinks the strategy Jia Xu just presented is very good.

Zhou Chen also knew that what Jia Xu just said was correct.

Although today's Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be calm and prosperous, in fact there are still some unstable factors hidden inside.

Take the wealthy family as an example.

Zhou Chen issued an edict to abolish some of the privileges of the wealthy families, check out the land of the wealthy families, and weaken the strength of the wealthy families. Are the wealthy families really willing to do so?

The answer goes without saying, everyone knows it.

It's just that due to the powerful strength of the imperial court, the wealthy families cannot resist, and they don't dare to resist.

However, a wealthy family will never give in.

This is the same for everyone.

If someone wanted Zhou Chen to hand over some privileges and weaken Zhou Chen's rights, Zhou Chen would not be willing to do so.

In normal times, it would be difficult to eliminate these unstable factors within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because no one is sure which wealthy families in the Great Zhou Dynasty are the real unstable factors.

But now is the best opportunity to test it.

When powerful enemies from hundreds of cities in the wilderness are attacking, as long as a wealthy family is unwilling to do so, they will definitely not remain indifferent.

The unstable factors within the Great Zhou Dynasty will be exposed one by one.

Zhou Chen could just take this opportunity to deal with the masters of the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness while also clearing up the unstable factors within the Great Zhou.

I have to say.

Jia Xu is worthy of being called a poisonous person, and his calculations on people's hearts are unparalleled.

This strategy can be said to be one of three calculations.

…

Outside Yanmen Pass.

Northern Capital City.

Dozens of corpses were hung on the city walls.

These corpses are the corpses of masters from hundreds of cities in the wilderness.

In addition to the Western Capital City, the Northern Capital City has also been attacked by experts from hundreds of cities in the wilderness in the past two days.

But the result was that the masters of the Hundred Cities of Wilderness who attacked the northern capital were all turned into corpses and hung on the city walls.

As for Beidu City, like Western Capital City, the imperial court also ordered the mobilization of 100,000 troops to defend Beidu City.

Inside the military camp.

Lu Bu sat on the main seat and looked at the decree that Dongchang had just sent to the court.

Sitting below were Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian and other generals.

Previously, not only Lu Bu was transferred to the North Capital City, but also generals like Cao Xing and Wei Xu were ordered by Zhou Chen to follow Lu Bu and be transferred to the North Capital City in order to strengthen the defense force of the North Capital City.

After reading the imperial edict, Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked at Gao Shun and the others below. "Your Majesty has issued an edict. Let us immediately set off for the Western Capital City. Together with Huo Qubing and the others, we will deal with the masters of the Hundred Cities in the Wilderness one by one."

What?

As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, Gao Shun and others frowned.

"General Lu, if we all leave, who will defend the northern capital?"

Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"Just leave it to the general below."

Lu Bu said.

"Leave it to the general below?"

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Gao Shun and others frowned even more tightly.

If they leave, will the generals below be able to defend the northern capital?

This is not about letting go of Beidu City's defense. What's the difference between giving up Beidu City?

"This is His Majesty's will. I believe Your Majesty has his own considerations."

Lu Bu glanced at the expressions of Gao Shun and others, and naturally saw what Gao Shun and others were thinking.

However, for Lu Bu, as long as His Majesty makes a decree, he will act in accordance with it.

As for other things, that was beyond his scope of consideration.

…

Outside the Western Capital City.

More than a dozen people were stationed scattered outside the city.

The entire Western Capital City has been under martial law, the city gates are closed, and the garrison on the city wall is waiting for an attack, with bows and crossbows ready, ready to attack at any time.

In a big tent.

More than a dozen figures were sitting one after another.

These dozen figures are all the lords of one city in hundreds of cities in the wilderness, with high positions and powerful strength.

Among them, the one sitting at the front is Shi Yan, the lord of Boulder City.

Shi Yan glanced at everyone present and said, "You must all know the purpose of coming to Dazhou, but you didn't rush to take action because you saw the corpses hanging on the top of the city and didn't figure out Dazhou's purpose.

Let’s be real!”

All the city lords' eyes flickered, not understanding what Shi Yan wanted to do by bringing them together.

One of them, who was right next to Shi Yan, hummed: "Shi Yan, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."

This person didn't have the slightest courtesy towards Shi Yan.

Because this man is the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City, and he is no weaker than Shi Yan in terms of strength or power.

"Then let me tell you straight. I have investigated the reality of Dazhou. Dazhou is not as strong as you seem on the surface. It is extremely empty internally."

"There are only a few capable masters in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are basically guarding the borders."

"Everyone must know that this Western Capital City is just a city of Zhou Dynasty hanging outside the pass. There are many cities of Zhou Dynasty inside the pass. There is no need for you to waste your time here."

"As long as you bypass the Western Capital City, the other cities in the Zhou Dynasty basically have no resistance and no experts are guarding them, so they can be easily occupied."

Shi Yan told the news he had heard without reservation.

It's not that Shi Yan is selfless, but that Shi Yan has his own plans.

Hearing Shi Yan's words, the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City sneered; "Shi Yan, would you tell us this so kindly?"

The city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City looked unbelieving.

Not only the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City did not believe it, but the other city lords present also expressed doubts.

Although this information is not too confidential, you can find out as long as you send someone to inquire.

But getting the news first will give you an advantage.

If they had heard this information first, they would never tell others easily, but would directly occupy more cities secretly.

Regarding everyone's suspicion, Shi Yan smiled slightly; "Even if I don't tell you this information, you will soon find out. It doesn't mean that I am kind or not."

"The benefits of this Dazhou area are too great to be enjoyed by one or two families. Even those of us here can't afford it, and there won't be any conflicts."

At this point, Shi Yan's conversation changed.

"certainly."

"I tell you this because I want you to share some of the pressure."

"After all, although there are only a few masters in this great Zhou Dynasty, we cannot underestimate them."

"If our Boulder City attempts to invade the city of Great Zhou, we will definitely be struck by Great Zhou's thunder."

"We in Boulder City are not afraid, but there may be a lot of casualties. This is not what I want to see."

Shi Yan said sincerely.

No one knows how much of it is true or false.

Perhaps only Shi Yan himself knows.

"Everyone, I have said everything I can say, and I have told you everything I can tell you. As for whether you believe it or not, that is your business."

"The people from Boulder City are the first to go."

After Shi Yan finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Afterwards, the men and horses from Boulder City left the outside of Xidu City, bypassed Xidu City, and headed directly towards Yumen Pass.

…

On top of the city.

Huo Qubing looked at the dozens of people stationed outside the city with a solemn expression.

These dozen or so people are very powerful. Fortunately, they all have their own thoughts and guard against each other. No one wants to be used as a pathfinder.

Coupled with the shock of dozens of corpses hanging on top of the city, the Western Capital City temporarily maintained a stable posture.

Otherwise, the Western Capital City would really not be able to withstand the prying eyes of so many people.

"General Huo, look carefully, some people seem to have left."

Pan Feng, who was next to him, had sharp eyes and saw a group of people leaving and said immediately.

Um?

Huo Qubing took a look and saw that a group of people had indeed left.

Seeing the group of people leaving, Huo Qubing's face was not relaxed, but his brows were frowning.

Immediately afterwards.

It didn't take long.

Another group of people left one after another.

Huo Qubing saw this and his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".

Needless to say, Huo Qubing also knew that when these troops left, they were not retreating, but were going to bypass the Western Capital City and go straight to Yumen Pass.

"Trouble, these people from all walks of life in the vast wilderness must be bypassing the Western Capital City and heading straight to the land of Xiliang."

Huo Qubing said in a deep voice.

Pan Feng's face also became serious.

Now, Zhang Liao has also been transferred to the Western Capital City, and there are no experts to guard Xiliang.

These people bypassed the Western Capital City and went straight to Xiliang, and Xiliang couldn't resist them at all.

It can be said that if these people take over the land of Xiliang, it will be effortless.

Although Pan Feng and Huo Qubing looked solemn, they could only watch helplessly.

Because, they had some luck even guarding the Western Capital City, let alone preventing these masters from hundreds of cities from bypassing the Western Capital City.

Just then.

Cao Youxiang went to the top of the city.

"General Huo, there is news from Luoyang."

Cao Youxiang handed a piece of news in his hand to Huo Qubing.

"oh!"

Huo Qubing was shocked and immediately took the news from Cao Youxiang's hand.

Opened it and glanced at it.

Huo Qubing's eyes immediately flashed with light.

…

outside the city.

More than a dozen people from hundreds of cities in the wilderness have gradually left as time goes by.

No matter what the purpose of Shi Yan's information was, the dozen or so city lords understood that there was really no need for them to quarrel with the masters guarding Da Zhou here in the Western Capital City.

Bypassing the Western Capital City, they could also go straight to the cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They didn't believe that there were experts in every city in the Zhou Dynasty.
