"It's poured! Poured! ”

A minister couldn't help but shout, only to see that the burning wood in the center of the field finally fell in a certain direction.

Bang!

"It's me, it's me, the throne of the emperor is mine, I am the emperor." Seeing the burning wood falling in his position, Fang Xu jumped up happily, as if Zhou Shu's entry into Fang Xu's mansion at night had never happened before.

"Good luck guy."

"Why not me, but this guy."

"Is this the will of the first emperor?"

"Hmph, this emperor's position will let you sit for a few days first, and wait for the evil. Teach the demons to be destroyed, and I don't know who will sit on the throne of the emperor. ”

"Damn, if only I were fine, even if it was only for a few days, I would be willing."

Seeing this scene, the people in the audience had all kinds of different ideas in their hearts.

"The old minister greets Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

Subsequently, under the leadership of Zhou Shu, all the ministers saluted Fang Xu, who had not yet ascended the throne, even those ministers who were not loyal to the monarch and the emperor's sons and grandsons.

This is the emperor's temple, the resting place of the emperors of the Dali Empire, the first emperors chose to let Fang Xu inherit the throne of the emperor, and everyone present could not object, otherwise Zhou Shu could add various crimes such as rebellion to him, and only the families of the Dali Empire could change the Dali Empire to an emperor with their own strength.

"Prime Minister, please get up, all Aiqing, please get up." Fang Xu, who was prepared, quickly took on the role of the emperor.

In the 225th year of the Li calendar, the first year of Tiancheng, on the first day of the first month of March, the ministers of the Great Li Empire sacrificed to the emperor's temple with the emperor's grandson, and asked the emperor for the next emperor's candidate, the first emperor issued a decree and ordered the emperor's son Fang Xu to succeed to the emperor's position.

The first thing Fang Xu did after succeeding to the throne was to hand over the power of the court to Zhou Shu, which surprised the ministers of the non-loyal monarch faction and the other emperors' sons and grandsons, and they all felt that there was a problem here, but without the support of the family, in the face of Fang Xu, who had already ascended the throne, it was useless for them to say anything, and they would not be killed by Fang Xu and Zhou Shu under various excuses, so they would regret it.

With an emperor at his head, Zhou Shu finally held all the power of the court in his hands, and for Zhou Shu, the most important thing now was to defeat the Bright Army.

Zhou Shu immediately issued orders to the officials of various counties and counties in Linzhou to transfer troops, and fifty percent of the officers and soldiers from all over the country must be dispatched to support the front line.

This was not enough, Zhou Shu directly asked Fang Xu to issue an edict of King Qin, requiring all parts of the Dali Empire to organize King Qin's army to rush to King Qinzhou in Linzhou, the Boling Wang clan and the Chungling Sun clan in Laizhou, the Guangwu Dongfang clan and the Changyi Lin clan in Qinzhou, the Baode Wang clan and the Gaochang Murong clan in Yuanzhou, the Thorn Tong Sha clan and the Miyang Lu clan in Suzhou, and the Yunhua Yun clan in Guo and Zezhou, etc., Zhou Shu demanded that the edict of King Qin must be sent directly to these families, and these families must obey the orders of the imperial court to send troops to help the imperial court repel the Guangming army.

The family is all based on their own interests, Zhou Shu does not believe that the family will really fight against the Guangming Army for the sake of the court, but with Fang Xu's edict of King Qin, if the family really does not send troops to King Qin, it will obviously damage the reputation of the family, but the family can also use various excuses to postpone the time of sending troops, Zhou Shu did not expect these families who support the army and respect themselves to be able to send troops all, as long as a few families can send troops immediately.

The army of the family in other states is still far away from Linzhou, even if the troops are not sent in a moment and a half, the imperial court itself has to work hard, it is really not good, Zhou Shu has already prepared to garrison the last elite army of Xinping City, the Dangkou Cavalry, to be sent to the front line.

Like the Celestial Wolf Cavalry, the Dangkou Cavalry is one of the five cavalry legions of the Dali Empire.

Under the auspices of Zhou Shu, the imperial court continued to transfer a large number of troops and materials to the front line Guo Wei, but at this moment, Zhou Shu received a message from the front line: The Guangming Army has withdrawn! Not only did the Guangming Army on the frontal battlefield withdraw, but even the Guangming Army in the northwest of Linzhou also withdrew, and the two Guangming armies merged as one and advanced in the direction of Suzhou, probably to launch an attack on Suzhou.

After receiving this news, the court was in ecstasy, and several timid emperors and grandsons were almost unable to bear the pressure and wanted to leave Xinping City and flee to a safer place.

A minister said: "Evil. Teach the demon This is afraid, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, evil. The demons withdrew their troops, which is evil. Teach the demons to be afraid. ”

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and under Your Majesty's command, the Empire will definitely be able to exterminate the evil. Teach demons. Several low-ranking officials said all kinds of sycophancy words in their hearts.

For a while, even Fang Xu himself was about to think that what the minister said was true, but fortunately, it didn't take long for Fang Xu to come to his senses, there are some things that can't lie to himself, all this is not easy to come by, don't beat everything you are doing now back to its original shape because of your actions.

Fang Xu, who became an emperor, only knew the benefits of the emperor, although he didn't have much power as an emperor, but just this lofty appearance made Fang Xu enjoy it very much, not to mention that Fang Xu could open it up. Palace.

Judging from the news from the front line, most of the officials in the imperial court and the emperor's sons and grandsons can see that things are not so simple, the strength of the Guangming Sect is very strong, and now it retreats without a fight, there must be other plans, the danger in Linzhou has not disappeared, and after the retreat of the Guangming Army on the front line, Guo Wei did not dare to lead the army to pursue, lest he fall into the trap set by the Guangming Army.

"In the position of the emperor, let you do it for a few more days, and wait for the evil. After the demon sect is truly exterminated, it is not yet known who will sit on the throne of this emperor. Several emperors and grandsons glanced at Fang Xu on the throne.

……

The Guangming Army withdrew, since the last time the counterinsurgency army led by Guo Wei fought and fled back to Linzhou, the Guangming Army led by Yuan Hao lingered in the west of Linzhou for a while, and the Guangming Army led by Jiang Zhou in the northwest of Linzhou also fought a guerrilla attack with the official army that came to encircle and suppress, and finally Yuan Hao still ordered the withdrawal of the army.

There is no way for the Bright Army to withdraw, the Bright Army is very strong, but it is very difficult to capture Linzhou, even if it captures Linzhou, it will take more time, and the Bright Army itself will be hit hard, you must know that there are more than 300,000 officers and soldiers in Linzhou, and the total strength of the Bright Army is more than 200,000.

Withdrawing troops is the best choice for the Bright Army, but it is impossible to do nothing when gathering so many Bright Army, Yuan Hao will target the north and south states of Tongzhou, Laizhou and Suzhou.

In Suzhou, the two local families of the Thorn Tong Sha clan and the Lu clan of Miyang jointly put pressure on the Guo family, a foreign family, demanding that the Guo family only keep one county at most, and hand over the rest of the territory.
