However, Luo Cheng is a battle-hardened general after all, and his first reaction was whether King Zhou wanted to keep it a secret, so as not to find out about it in the army, so he didn't announce it publicly. This kind of thing is also a common thing in the military. So he didn't think much about it, nodded and then got up with Yu Yuqing and retreated into the queue.

When Yu Ming was about to announce the next battle plan, Wei Zheng preemptively said: "King Qiyu, my subordinates think that now we should establish a country!" ”

"Founding a country?" After hearing this, Yuming was slightly stunned.

"Yes! There was no country before because Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was still alive, and there were still many places in the world that were loyal to the Great Sui. But now that Yang Guang is dead, the rule of the Sui Dynasty has also collapsed, except for Wang Shichong, who occupies Luoyang, who supported Yang Tong, the acting king of the original Sui Dynasty, as the puppet emperor and called himself King Zheng, all the powerful people in various places have set up their own banners. According to Mrs. Red Sleeves' informant, Wang Shichong also plans to depose Yang Tong in the near future and establish himself as Emperor Dazheng. Therefore, we should also establish a state, so that the soldiers can know that they are loyal to the king of Zhou, not to the Great Sui. The battle for world dominance has also been changed to a more justified one! Wei Zheng said.

Yuming naturally also knows the truth of building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king, but the current situation is different from before, the Sui Dynasty has not only lost the hearts of the people, but even the rule of various places has collapsed, even if someone wants to blackmail the heavens to order the princes, there is no heaven to coerce.

The soldiers followed themselves to fight the world, and they all wanted to be a founding hero, so that they could be marquis and worship the prime minister. If you don't play the banner of dominating the world. If you still say that you just want to support the army and respect yourself, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers.

Moreover, the situation in the world is now different from the past, and there have been great changes, and all the candidates have played their own country names, and even if they play a new country name, they will not become the target of public criticism, and they do not have to worry about being besieged.

Wei Zheng's words naturally received a unanimous response from all the generals, and they all came out of the ranks and said in unison: "Please King Zhou to be the emperor!" ”

"Emperor? I'm afraid it's a little early! After hearing this, Yuming smiled bitterly.

If he is called emperor now, it will take a while to prepare for an enthronement ceremony, and it will also involve the issue of military attachés and harem concubines. In addition, since he is an emperor, he can't do without a palace, so it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build a palace.

Moreover, Yuming was also worried that if he became emperor too early, it would make the soldiers lose their enterprising spirit and be content with pleasure. In the end, the momentum of progress was lost in the battle for hegemony.

"I know what everyone wants! But maybe you're going to be disappointed, I'm not going to be the emperor yet! After thinking for a moment, Yu Ming still said solemnly: "However, not being the emperor does not mean that the country is not established. I will still be the king now, and I will be the emperor again when the time is right! ”

Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and others glanced at each other, all smiling, and nodding secretly. Although Yu Ming was young, he was not carried away by the momentary achievements and panicked to become the emperor.

They also think that it is more appropriate to be called king now, and in the future, after the world is decided, it is more logical for Yuming to be called emperor again. Because after becoming the emperor, he will be crowned a hero, which can also give the soldiers greater expectations.

Du Ruhui also came out at this time and said: "King Shengming of Zhou! It is wise not to be called the emperor now, but Du thinks that we can determine the country name first, so that we can also pat our chests and say which country we are. In the past, the officers and soldiers said that they were the Liaodong Army, but now, with the expansion of the area under our rule, it is no longer limited to Liaodong. If after occupying Hebei and Shandong, it is still commensurate with the Liaodong Army, I am afraid that the local surname will be resistant! ”

"Hmmm! I've already thought of the country name, let's call it Zhou! Yu Ming Zhengse said: "Before that, I was successively named the Duke of Zhou and the King of Zhou. And my Yu clan established the Great Zhou by Emperor Yujue of Xiaomin sixty years ago, but twenty-four years later it was usurped by Yang Jian and seized the world. Now, it's time for my Ushi to get back what I lost in the past! ”

"Congratulations to His Highness for the official establishment of the country! The subordinates must do their best for Da Zhou and do their best! The generals bowed down and said.

"Good! As long as the brothers work hard to serve the Great Zhou, after seizing the world in the future, I Yuming will definitely not treat everyone badly! Yu Ming smiled slightly, and then continued: "Next, I began to arrange the battle plan for attacking Shandong, this battle is the first battle after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the key battle for us to play a prestige, we not only want to win, but also to win beautifully, show our strength, so that more capable people with lofty ideals are optimistic about us and join the Great Zhou ......."

"Except for the vanguard army that has been announced just now, the rest of the soldiers and horses are divided!"

"The Northern Army, with my master Li Jing as the main general, Guo Yi and Lin Mo as deputy generals, led 50,000 troops, set out from Hejian County, passed through Dezhou and Dongying, and attacked Laizhou."

"The Chinese army, led by me personally, with Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin as deputy generals, led 80,000 troops, set out from Handan County, passed through Dongping and Jining, and attacked Qingzhou."

"The Southern Army, with Wei Chi Jingde as the main general, led 70,000 troops, with Luo Shixin and Tian Hao as deputy generals, set out from Le Shou, passed through Langxie and Cao County, and attacked Qi County."

Speaking of this, Yu Ming stood tall and smashed his fist in the center of this map and said: "After our army defeats the enemy forces along the way, we will encircle the Shandong army in Beihai County and strive to end the war within a month!" ”

When the generals heard this, they were all very moved, and then they said in unison: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

……

The dark clouds of war suddenly hung over Shandong, and Dou Jiande left a lot of fine work in Hebei long before he fled. After he entered Shandong, he paid great attention to the collection of intelligence on the Zhou army. Because he knew that he had killed Yuhua and Yucheng, as well as several of Yu's younger brothers, and had formed an irresolvable deep hatred with Yuming. So even if he surrendered, it would be impossible to survive. He has only one thing, and that is to resist to the end and try to defeat Yuming.

……

Autumn in Shandong is always rainy, and the slightest drizzle falls from the air to the ground like a silk thread, like a bead curtain. As far as the eye can see, you can always see patches of mist in the sky. People always feel a little depressed in this humid weather.

However, this weather could not stop Yuming's determination to march into Shandong, and he knew the urgency of time. If he can't defeat Dou Jiande and annex Shandong before Li Yuan destroys Xue Ju. Then he would not have time to lay out Hedong and compete with Li Yuan.

Don't look at Liu Wuzhou's successive battles in Hedong now, but Yu Ming knows that it is because Li Yuan mistakenly used Li Yuanji, a stupid person, to defend the original. Once Li Shimin is allowed to lead the troops, it will only be a matter of time before Liu Wuzhou's defeat is achieved.

When Li Tang occupied Guanzhong, Longxi, Hedong, Bashu and other places, even if he owned Hebei, Liaodong and Shandong, he was by no means Li Yuan's opponent. After all, in the later stages of the war, what is fought is comprehensive national strength. His own territory is far less prosperous than that of rich places such as Guanzhong and Bashu, and the population is much smaller. At that time, he will be at a disadvantage in terms of soldiers and finances.

Now, the Liaodong Army has officially changed its name to the Zhou Army, and Yuming announced the establishment of the Zhou State to all the soldiers and civilians in his jurisdiction. And he was temporarily called the King of Zhou, the original Liaodong Camp Command, renamed the Great Zhou Command, and oversaw all military and political powers.

Now, on the general platform set up outside Beiping City, the first oath meeting of the army after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty was held.

The damp drizzle could not extinguish the enthusiasm in the hearts of the Zhou soldiers, and the danger of death at any time could not stop the hope in their hearts. As the sky grew brighter and the fog cleared, the rain dripped on the black armor of the warriors, glowing with a faint cold light, and in the midst of a grassy wilderness, the flags were like the sea and the spears were like a forest. Zhou Jun was already ready to go, silently staring ahead.

Where the autumn rain fell, all the warriors had a look of fortitude on their faces. Everyone's eyes fell on the person who was striding onto the stage. The man was dressed in a white helmet and white armor, riding a high-headed white horse, standing in the slightly chilly autumn wind, like a mountain.

Yu Ming stood on the horse, his iron helmet covered his forehead, but it couldn't block the cold light in his eyes, and when his gaze swept towards the generals, the awe-inspiring momentum immediately made people feel overwhelming.

At this time, he faced the soldiers of the Zhou army, raised the Liquan treasure gun in his hand, and then plunged it heavily into the stage.

The handle of the gun pierced into the ground, making a crisp crashing sound, which was crisp and loud, and it didn't stop for a long time......

The 250,000 soldiers of the Zhou army stood solemnly, although the autumn rain fell on their armor, but no one dared to make a sound for half a minute, and the cold autumn wind blew a big flag with the words "Yu" and "Zhou" written on the face fluttering in the wind.

Yu Ming shouted in a deep voice: "This war is the battle of my Great Zhou to conquer Shandong, and it is also the battle of revenge against Dou Jiande, the old thief, the importance of this battle, this king does not need to say much, I just hope that my brothers will work together and go all out!" Revenge and blood hatred! This expedition, I will win in the big week! The enemy will be defeated! ”

His voice was clear and beautiful, and after using internal force, it spread far away, even the last soldier could hear it clearly, and the army was shocked!

The soldiers of the Zhou army heard the shouts of Yu Ming like a clear dragon, and their hearts were stirred, and Yu Ming had always been a hero and idol in their hearts since the time of their expedition to Goryeo. It is the object of their allegiance, leading them to victory after victory, and they will follow their commander to the road of domination of the world.

Without any officer's order, the soldiers of the Zhou army in front raised their sabers in their hands, pointed diagonally at the sky and said: "Go all out, the Great Zhou will win!" Go all out, Da Zhou will win! ”

The sword light is better than the snow, the cold light reflects the knife, and for a while, the scene is full of cold iron, and the drums are ringing in unison.
