A series of system dingdong sounds sounded in Ji Jing's mind.
"Forehead ......"
Three tasks came at once, and Ding Dong Ding Dong kept ringing, and my head was about to alarm the clock.
But I like it.
All of a sudden, the task point is 500, and it seems that before recovering the Great Jin, there is hope for another lottery.
Wrong.
Be sure to get the mission points to 1000 points before recovering the Great Jin.
Wasting task points is the most shameful thing!
β¦β¦
Next.
Ji Jing handed over Gong's victory to Cao Yu, and asked Gong's victory to be in charge of the manufacture of the 'steam sea ship' and arranged for the escort back to the Western Capital.
As for them, escorted by a thousand silver armor guards, they crossed the river to Yangzhou County, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.
As for Bai Qi's 100,000 army, they went to Yangzhou County from Lulu, after all, there were too many people and not so many ships.
Soon after crossing the river, Xie Li, the first assistant of the Great Jin Dynasty, immediately got the news and immediately gathered the civil and military officials under his command to urgently discuss countermeasures.
The land area of the Great Jin Dynasty is smaller than that of the Great Zhou, with only five counties and twenty counties.
Among them, Yangzhou County, the royal capital, is the most prosperous, and Nanzhou County is the most precipitous.
Nanzhou County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the river on one side, and there is only one entrance and exit of 'Longkou Pass'.
As long as the 'Longkou Pass' is defended, it is impregnable, and even if there are millions of troops, it will be difficult to break through.
After the turmoil in the Great Jin Dynasty, Xie Li led the civil and military officials who returned to him back to Nanzhou County to confront the forces led by Fang Xuanling.
Xie Li was born in the largest wealthy family in Nanzhou County, and the Xie family has been operating in Nanzhou County for more than 100 years.
It can be said that the Xie family is the heaven of Nanzhou County, and his words are more effective than the King of Jin.
In the spacious and luxurious lobby of the Nanzhou County Government, Xie Li sat on it, and more than a dozen civil and military generals on the left and right sides sat separately.
"I won't say much about the superfluous words, everyone should know the information from Linjiang." Xie Li said in a deep voice, with a majestic momentum.
"All I got was gossip, and I asked the adults to tell me again." The strategist Lu Zhiliang, who was sitting in the upper left, stood up, saluted, and said with a steady expression.
When Lu Zhiliang opened his mouth, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Well, that's fine."
Xie Li's gaze swept over the people below and gestured to the documents beside him.
The 'clericals' of the Great Jin Dynasty are equivalent to the eunuchs of the Great Zhou, but they only have the same responsibilities and do not purify themselves.
"According to the spies' report, the Bojiang Gang in Linjiang County has been slaughtered by all the Great Zhou troops led by Bai Qi. The leader of the Bojiang Gang is the elder brother of the Flying Tiger General Qi Hu, and the Flying Tiger General went ashore to rescue without authorization in order to save his brother, and fell into the encirclement of the Great Zhou army. β
The clerk paused slightly when he said this, and then continued: "Emperor Ji Jing of the Great Zhou Dynasty has crossed the river to Yangzhou County this morning. The 100,000-strong army led by Bai Qi rushed overland to Yangzhou County. β
After the clerk finished speaking, he retreated.
"Why is Qi Hu so confused, the mountain and village masters can see that this is a trap of Da Zhou, and he still jumps in! Well, now not only did he die, but he also accompanied the 3,000 water army! β
"Alas! As soon as Qi Hu dies, Ji Jing and Princess Shenyu will arrive in Yangzhou County smoothly, not good! β
"You shouldn't let Qi Hu carry out this mission! In another person, he would certainly not make such a low-level mistake. β
"What now? Bai Qi is a killing god, and I am in danger! β
β¦β¦
Looking at the noisy civil and military officials below, Xie Li's face became more and more ugly!
Didn't he let them accuse Qi Hu and accuse a dead man of use??
The most important thing now is how to deal with the next situation.
"Bang!!"
Xie Li slapped his palm on the desk and shouted, "Enough!" The Qi clan punished the three clans! If you can't think of a way to repel the Great Zhou, you will also punish the three clans!! β
"Gah-"
The lobby was silent in an instant, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and their faces turned pale silently.
Xie Li is not joking with them, he is a ruthless character who says and does!
"My lord, I thought that it was unlikely that I wanted to stop Ji Jing from going to Yangzhou again, and for today's plan, I can only take the road of becoming the king on my own." Lu Zhiliang stood up and said slowly.
Lu Zhiliang is Xie Li's most valued staff and strategist.
Among so many people, it is estimated that Lu Zhiliang can give him advice.
Xie Li's face softened slightly, looked at Lu Zhiliang, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Qing, please elaborate." β
"Ji Jing has already crossed the river, and it is too late to send someone to stop it. It is useless to think about how to deal with Ji Jing again, and there is only one way left to fight in the chamber. β
"I suggest that your lord be the king, take Nanzhou County as the headquarters, and then seek the people of all parts of the Great Jin. With the danger of 'Longkou Pass', even if the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is brave, it is unable to break through, and Nanzhou County should be safe and sound. β
"Moreover, for the people of the Great Jin, Fang Xuanling is a traitor, and the Great Zhou is a foreigner, and they always have the Great Jin in their hearts. As long as we can resist the undefeated army of the Great Zhou and stir up the people's hearts, the road to recovery of the Great Zhou will be difficult to move an inch. β
"At the same time, we can also use money and official positions to bribe the civil and military officials of Yangzhou County and disrupt the situation in Yangzhou."
In addition, I also got some news that the expansion of the Great Zhou by other vassal states has been on their backs, and they have trained and prepared for war, and there is a tendency to unite. We will send envoys to the countries to lobby and jointly fight against the Great Zhou. β
"The Great Zhou seems to be expanding now, but in fact it is embattled, what we have to do is to hold it, once the Great Zhou army withdraws, immediately recover the counties of the Great Jin and unify the Great Jin."
After listening to Lu Zhiliang's analysis, Xie Li was in a good mood and full of confidence in the unification of the Great Jin!
For self-reliance, Xie Li will not object.
He is in the prime of life and has his own ambitions!
Lu Zhiliang not only said it was reasonable, but also spoke to his heart.
"Haha! Good! Good! β
"It's my luck to have a big talent like Lu Qing!!"
Xie Li said excitedly, "Three days later, it will be the day I become king!" The day of the unification of the Great Jin Dynasty is the day when you wait for you to add officials to the knighthood! Go ahead and prepare! β
"Congratulations to the King! Congratulations to the King!! β
β¦β¦
Three days later, Xie Li was proclaimed king in Nanzhou County, with the name of Nanwang.
And Ji Jing and his entourage also arrived in Yangzhou County, Fang Xuanling led the civil and military ministers to greet Ji Jing, and Princess Shenyu entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, my father, the King...... And my brother, they...... All...... Are they all dead? β
As soon as she entered the palace, Princess Shenyu finally knew the truth, looked at Ji Jing with tears in her eyes, and asked with a hint of hope.
