Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Dayan.

Royal Palace.

Emperor Yan was sitting on the dragon throne, his face extremely gloomy.

"waste."

"It's all trash."

"A million-strong army, with thousands of good generals, was unable to deal with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Zhou Dynasty. Not only did they abandon their helmets and armor, but they were defeated thousands of miles away, lost the city and fell into the ground, allowing the Zhou army to invade the hinterland of our country, Yan. It's really

waste."

Emperor Yan was furious.

After receiving the news that the Zhou army had broken through Dingxi Pass and divided its forces into two groups to attack Dayan, Emperor Yan mobilized a million troops to fight against the Zhou army.

Moreover, Emperor Yan also sent the royal family's reincarnation-level enshrined soldiers to accompany the army to meet the enemy.

At first, Emperor Yan was full of confidence and believed that he could destroy the invading Zhou army in one fell swoop.

Because, in order to deal with the invading Zhou army, Emperor Yan almost mobilized most of Yan's power.

Whether it is in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, or in terms of the masters and strong men, it is twice as many as the Zhou army.

Under such a disparity in strength, as long as the half-saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not come, it would be no problem to destroy the invading Zhou army.

However.

A few days have passed.

Instead of receiving any news of victory, Emperor Yan received news of the army's defeat one after another.

And it was not just an ordinary defeat, it was a huge rout in which the army was defeated like a mountain. It was defeated thousands of miles away and lost ground.

With such a result, how could Emperor Yan not be angry?

Emperor Yan couldn't understand that he had sent twice the strength of Zhou's army and had the sages of the Samsara Realm accompanying him. Even if a few of them fought one by one, it wouldn't be such a huge defeat!

At the very least, we can't win. We should be able to block Zhou Jun's attack!

How could it be possible for the army to be defeated like a mountain and rout thousands of miles away?

But Emperor Yan knew that it was no longer time to think about this. The most important thing now was how to deal with the next situation.

The Zhou army has already reached the hinterland of Yan. If it is not contained, the Zhou army will arrive outside the capital of Yan in less than three days.

When the time comes, one can imagine the situation Dayan will face.

"My dear friends, the Zhou army has already invaded the hinterland of our country, Dayan. Our millions of soldiers of Dayan have been routed for thousands of miles, and they can no longer stop the Zhou army."

"In less than three days, the Zhou army will be able to attack our Yandu city. Do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Emperor Yan suppressed the anger in his heart and raised his eyes to look gloomily at the dozen or so ministers below.

More than a dozen ministers looked solemn and frowned.

They also did not expect that the millions of troops mobilized to deal with the Zhou army would be defeated, and it would be a huge rout.

Zhou Jun's strength exceeded their imagination.

This does not include the fact that the Half-Saint from Da Zhou did not come.

If the half-saint from Great Zhou comes, it is estimated that Dayan will be like Dayue, and will be suppressed and destroyed in an instant...

More than a dozen ministers did not dare to speak easily.

To be precise, they don't have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy.

In the face of the overwhelming pressure of insurmountable strength, even if you have all kinds of plans, it is meaningless.

In other words, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and conspiracy are empty talk.

"Your Majesty, it is better to send envoys to negotiate peace with the Zhou Dynasty, and first stabilize the Zhou Dynasty."

One of the ministers said.

The current situation cannot be defeated by fighting. Only peace talks, stabilizing the Zhou Dynasty first, and buying time can have a chance of survival.

otherwise.

Once the half-sage from Great Zhou comes, Dayan will end up becoming the second Dayue.

Peace talks?

"An indigenous dynasty that has just merged into the wilderness is worthy of me, Dayan, to negotiate peace with him!"

Emperor Yan's voice was a bit colder.

As an emperor, Emperor Yan could not tolerate such groveling peace talks.

The most important thing is that Emperor Yan knew that the war between the two sides had reached this point. The Zhou army had already invaded the hinterland of Dayan. The army was strong and victory was in sight. How could the Great Zhou sit down and have peace talks with Dayan?

If it were Emperor Yan, he would not be able to negotiate peace. Instead, he would go all out to attack the opponent and achieve the great feat of opening up the territory.

"According to my decree, Yan Yunwei is mobilized to fight against the Zhou army. All powerful families must send all their powerful masters to join the army to meet the enemy and stop the Zhou army..."

"Those who dare to disobey will be killed without mercy."

Emperor Yan no longer expected these ministers to have any good strategies to defeat the enemy, and directly said loudly.

Peace talks are impossible, so we can only fight to the end.

Emperor Yan wanted to mobilize all his forces to meet the Zhou army, block the Zhou army's attack, and buy time.

Emperor Yan had already asked for help from outside and reported the matter of Zhou's attack on Dayue to the imperial court.

As long as we can block the footsteps of the Zhou army and delay the Zhou army for some time until the reinforcements arrive, then the Zhou Dynasty will not be able to make any big waves.

…

Qingfeng Palace.

Manager Yang said to Mu Yuyan, "Miss, the Fifth Master Mu has issued an order to have all the Mu Chamber of Commerce in Great Zhou withdraw from Da Zhou and cut off all relations between the Mu Chamber of Commerce and Da Zhou."

"Moreover, Mu Wuye also ordered that all the rights of the young lady in the chamber of commerce be abolished, and he strictly ordered that the young lady has no right to mobilize the slightest bit of the chamber of commerce in the chamber of commerce."

Manager Yang spoke out Master Mu Wu's order exactly.

"oh!"

"Yeah?"

"It seems that Uncle Wu and the Mu family really don't care about their family ties at all."

After hearing this, Mu Yuyan's expression did not change at all.

Mu Wuye's actions were within Mu Yuyan's expectations.

However, it is not that easy for Mr. Mu Wu to abolish her rights easily.

It is true that the Mu Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Mu family, but the roots of the Mu Chamber of Commerce are in the Imperial Dynasty, and the Mu Chamber of Commerce exists in other major dynasties, that is, in the imperial city.

In addition to the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce in the imperial cities of the imperial dynasty and major dynasties, the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce in other cities, like the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce in the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness, were all managed and expanded by Mu Yuyan.

It can be said that Mu's Chamber of Commerce can now be found in every corner of the Eastern Region, and a small part of the credit is due to Mu Yuyan.

Mu Wuye wants to abolish Mu Yuyan's rights in the chamber of commerce, which can only affect Mu Yuyan's rights in the Mu family chamber of commerce in the imperial dynasty and the imperial cities of major dynasties.

As for the Mu Chamber of Commerce in other cities, they are ostensibly in charge of the Mu family, but in fact, they are secretly controlled by Mu Yuyan.

"Uncle Yang, inform all the managers of the Mu Chamber of Commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty to hold off on Fifth Uncle's orders!"

Mu Yuyan didn't say much.

All the managers of Mu's Chamber of Commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty are Mu Yuyan's people.

Mu Wuye ordered that if he wanted the Mu Chamber of Commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty to withdraw from the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would have to see if Mu Yuyan agreed.

However, now is not the time to completely part ways with the Mu family, otherwise, he will be attacked with all his strength by the Mu family.

Therefore, Mu Yuyan could only let the people below delay her.

"Yes, miss."

Manager Yang turned around and left Qingfeng Palace.

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen was sitting on the dragon throne.

Zhou Chen didn't pay too much attention to what Mu Wuye said that the Mu Chamber of Commerce in Da Zhou would be withdrawn from Da Zhou and that the Mu Chamber of Commerce would no longer support Da Zhou.

Today's Great Zhou is no longer the previous Great Zhou, but a Great Zhou that annexed hundreds of cities in the wilderness and wiped out the Dayue Dynasty.

The Mu Chamber of Commerce will no longer support Da Zhou and withdrawing from Da Zhou may have some impact on Da Zhou, but the impact will never be too great.

With the various resources and technical support of the Hundred Cities of the Wilderness and the Dayue Dynasty, even without the support of the Mu Chamber of Commerce, the pace of rapid development of the Great Zhou Dynasty will still not stop.

Besides, Zhou Chen believed in Mu Yuyan.

How could a character who has been struggling hard to get rid of his marriage to the dynasty not have some means and trump cards!

It is not that easy for the fifth master of the Mu family to ask the Mu Chamber of Commerce in Dazhou to withdraw from Dazhou and stop supporting Dazhou.

Zhou Chen focused all his energy on state affairs.

At present, for Zhou Chen, other things are secondary. The most important thing is the war in Dayan and the post-war situation in Dayue. Whether Xiao He and the others can stabilize the chaotic situation in Dayue...

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Zhengchun, then asked, "How is the situation in Dai Viet?"

"Is there any news from Cao Youxiang?"

After Zhou Chen finished handling several memorials, he asked Cao Zhengchun about the news about Dai Viet.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Cao Youxiang sent back the news that the situation in Dai Viet has basically stabilized."

"General Lu personally took action and went to various armies in Dai Viet, suppressing and killing a large number of people who resisted."

"Now, all the soldiers and horses of Dai Viet and local officials have come forward to surrender to the Zhou Dynasty. Lord Xiao and the others are accepting the soldiers and horses of Dai Viet and dealing with the affairs of the army."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said.

Cao Zhengchun reported the basic situation of Dai Viet to Zhou Chen.

"That's good."

Zhou Chen nodded.

As long as the problems of various armies in Dai Viet are solved, Dai Viet's situation can basically be stabilized.

Without the resistance of the army, other small disturbances and waves will not achieve anything.

"However, Your Majesty, according to the news sent back by Cao Youxiang, some forces in Dai Viet and wealthy families are secretly making trouble."

"They are connected in series with each other and have quite a bit of movement."

"Some of the remnants who were chased by the East Factory were able to escape every time. Someone secretly blocked the factory guards..."

Cao Zhengchun changed the topic and said again.

When Zhou Chen heard this, his expression did not change at all: "It's a reasonable thing."

"For those forces in Dai Viet, I, Da Zhou, am an outsider after all. It is strange that those forces and wealthy families can obediently obey me, Da Zhou."

"Not to mention me, Da Zhou, even for the Emperor of Yue, the forces and wealthy families in Da Yue are probably obedient and submissive, and they will not really obey him."

Zhou Chen said slowly.

Zhou Chen knows best about the urinal nature of those forces and wealthy families.

That's a bunch of guys who can't afford to do anything early.

In their eyes, it doesn't matter who is the emperor or who is in power, they only care about their personal interests.

The Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Dai Viet royal family, which allowed those forces and wealthy families to see an opportunity. It was an opportunity to expand their strength and prestige, and they naturally would not let it go.

In fact, they all hope that it will be as big and chaotic as possible.

Because the greater the country, the more chaotic it is, the more beneficial it is to their forces and wealthy families.

If Da Zhou cannot stabilize the situation in Da Viet, it would be better if their forces and wealthy families can become their own kings.

Maybe they will have a chance to replace the royal family of Dai Viet and become the new emperor of Dai Viet.

"How is the battle situation in Dayan?"

"Is Han Xin's attack going smoothly?"

Zhou Chen asked again.

"Reporting to your majesty, General Han and the others have defeated Dayan's million-strong army and invaded the hinterland of Dayan."

"However, General Zhao Yun and General Pei Yuanqing both suffered some injuries..."

Cao Zhengchun told the news about Dayan.

After hearing this, Zhou Chen pondered for a moment with twinkling eyes: "Send an order to Han Xin and tell him that I don't have time to give him, let him slowly attack Dayan, and end the battle in Dayan as soon as possible, so as not to cause changes if it is too late."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and said.

"besides."

"Send a message to Lu Bu, asking Lu Bu to summon all the forces in Da Yue and the reincarnation realm sages from wealthy families, and take them to Dayan to help Han Xin attack Dayan."

Zhou Chen said again.

Since the wealthy families and various forces in Dai Viet are restless, and Da Zhou has no way to clean up these shortcomings within Dai Viet for the time being.

Then Zhou Chen took advantage of this general trend, summoned these forces and the reincarnation realm sages from wealthy families, and roped in Dayan to help in the battle.

In this way, without these reincarnation-level venerables sitting in charge, the wealthy families in Dai Viet will be more at ease and be able to better stabilize the situation in Dai Viet.

Moreover, it can also weaken the strength of these wealthy families, allowing the reincarnation realm sages of these wealthy families to open up territory for the Great Zhou and attack the Great Yan.

At the same time, it can also support Han Xin and capture Dayan as soon as possible.

It can be said that you achieve multiple things with one stone.

certainly.

Those reincarnation realm venerables from wealthy families can also refuse.

But the price of rejection is not something they can afford.

With the existence of the semi-saint Lu Bu, as long as the reincarnation realm sages from wealthy families are not stupid, they will not refuse.

Unless they are seeking death.

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

"Old slave obeys the order."

"Go for it!"

Zhou Chen waved his hand.

Cao Zhengchun turned around and left the Yangxin Hall.

After Cao Zhengchun left, Zhou Chen stood up and walked out of the Yangxin Hall, looking at the majestic palace jade.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

What's more, a war between countries?

Zhou Chen must deal with Dayan as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

The most important thing is that Zhou Chen must make a quick decision and then mobilize his forces to prepare for the next possible enemy.

Mu Wuye has already arrived in Dazhou. Although Zhou Chen has warned Mu Wuye, but according to the behavior of these aristocratic families, they will never give up.

If nothing else goes wrong, it won't be long before the strong men of the Mu family will come to Great Zhou.

Zhou Chen should be prepared for this.

There is also the Ziyang Sect.

Among the three inner disciples of the Ziyang Sect, one of the fifth true disciples died in Dazhou. Zhou Chen did not believe it and the Ziyang Sect could not find out.

Once the Ziyang Sect finds out that it was Da Zhou who killed their true disciples, the sect will not let it go due to its strength.

Therefore, Zhou Chen must end the war in Dayan as soon as possible and deal with the possible revenge of the strong men of the Mu family and the Ziyang Sect.

Otherwise, facing the powerful men who may come from the Mu family and Ziyang Sect, Zhou Chen doesn't have much confidence based on the current defensive strength in Luoyang.

Zhou Chen is confident, but he is definitely not arrogant.

Facing the powerful men from the Mu family and Ziyang Sect who may come, Zhou Chen must be absolutely foolproof.
