Chapter 655: Sealing the King
"The ...... King"
Chu Tian was a little surprised when he received Lao Qin's notice.
Lao Qin controls the Son of Heaven, and the current rules are basically formulated by Lao Qin, he suddenly wants to be crowned king, and he also lets the princes choose their own king titles.
Destroying Mobei's threat to the empire is enough to make him king.
Chu Tian's surprise was that Lao Qin, as an opponent, even took the initiative to greet him, treating all the princes equally.
"King of Qi, King of Wei...... Or ......"
Chu Tian was now in a dilemma of choice.
"Come in."
When Chu Tian was considering the king's name, Xia Liang brought Xiao Xuan in.
"Ding! The imperial minister Xiao Xuan is loyal to you. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Xuan came in, Chu Tian received a reminder of her allegiance.
Chu Tian looked at Xia Liang, but he didn't expect that she really had a way to persuade Xiao Xuan to surrender.
Chu Tian could finally see Xiao Xuan's panel.

……
Chu Tian looked at Xiao Xuan's panel, and sure enough, it was a quadrangle, even if it was the worst force value, he also had a certain ability to protect himself, and he would not be easily killed or captured unless he encountered a fierce general.
The most important thing is Xiao Xuan's two auxiliary effects, which can improve her husband's legion attributes.
This means that if you want to fully exploit the effects of Xiao Xuan, you must ......
However, Xiao Xuan's loyalty is very low, 60 loyalty, almost not in terms of loyalty. She just chose to surrender in desperation.
In the summer, Liang passed through Chutian's system and saw Xiao Xuan's panel.
"You're really beating her mind."
Xia Liang snorted when he saw Xiao Xuan's characteristics to play conditions.
The effect of "Heroine Facing the Dynasty" of her and Xiao Xuan is superimposed, which is equivalent to obtaining a strengthened aura of the whole army.
Xiao Sui also realized that his abilities were all effective, and special conditions were needed, otherwise they would not be effective.
"Lao Qin wants to invite the Son of Heaven to make all the princes kings, I plan to invite the King of Xia, you are the princess of Xia, and Wu'er is the heir of the next King of Xia."
In order to appease the summer coolness, Chu Tian said his decision.
"Princess Xia?"
In summer, Liang and Xiao Xuan were a little shocked.
Xiao Xuan took a light breath, she looked at Xia Liang, with the status of Xia Liang, she wanted to mix up in the future, and seemed to try to please her.
And in the cool rear in summer, there is also the support of Mulan, Joan of Arc and others.
"Xiao Xuan will be handed over to you to manage for the time being."
Chu Tian saw that Xiao Xuan's loyalty was not high, and in order to prevent her from defecting or escaping, he could only let Xia Liang train Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Sui is obviously a legendary hero of the support type, and he can also improve the ability of Khitan generals, which is very practical.
"You follow Miss Xia, don't make trouble, and after you really serve me, you will lead the subordinate Shan army."
Because the system panel can see the loyalty (no hidden ambition value), Chu Tian can probably judge Xiao Xuan's loyalty.
Before Xiao Xuan's loyalty reaches more than 80, she must not be allowed to command the Shan army, otherwise she may betray herself at any time.
Although the loyalty was not high, Xiao Xuan expressed his allegiance, and the Khitan general Xiao Tzu Rin also pledged allegiance to Chutian.
"Ding! The king-level military commander Xiao Tzu Rin is loyal to you. ”
[Name]: Xiao Tzu Rin
[Talent]: King-level general
[Level]: 60
[Identity]: General of Liao
[Loyalty]: 55
[Commander]: 78 (maximum 81)
[Brawn]: 90 (max 92)
[Intelligence]: 55 (capped at 60)
[Politics]: 45 (maximum 51)
[Charm]: 62
[Phase]: Reckless
[Favorability]: 56
[Trait 1]: Khitan Vanguard (S-Rank exclusive trait, when serving as a Vanguard, Legion Attack +17%, Personal Attack +23%)
[Trait 2]: Suppression (A-level trait, when defeating rebels, the legion's attack power is +7%; When garrisoned, the probability of local rebellion decreases)
……
Chu Tian knew a little about Xiao Tzu Rin, this person was the vanguard general who attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, captured Yang Ye, and was unfortunately shot by the Song army's bed crossbow.
If there is a bonus of Xiao Xuan, then Xiao Tzu Rin's strength can reach a maximum of 94, which is a good general.
Like Xiao Xuan, Xiao Tzu Rin has not yet served sincerely, but Xiao Xuan surrendered, and Xiao Tzu Rin also chose to surrender.
Theoretically, the combination of Xiao Xuan and Yelu Hugo, Yelu Xian, and Xiao Tzu Rin is the dream combination that defeated the Northern Song Dynasty in history.
The core hero is still Xiao Xuan.
Basically, as long as Xiao Xuan's loyalty is increased, Xiao Tart's loyalty will also increase.
"Chu Zimou plans to invite the King of Xia? Is it confirmed over there? ”
"Mingguan begs for the king of Ming, and Tongque asks for the king of Wu."
"So be it."
After Lao Qin determined the royal names of the various princes, he let people operate in Chang'an.
All the order of the Han Empire was determined by the princes of the Han Empire, and their decisions could reshape the order.
In order not to become the target of public criticism, Lao Qin decided to claim the title of king with all the princes, otherwise the other princes might find an excuse to crusade against him.
The princes were also happy to be kings.
How many people have been kings throughout the ages?
Even if you fail to chase the Central Plains, as long as you have been the king and left a record, then you will have no regrets in this life.
In Chang'an City, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty looked helpless, and Li Si, on behalf of the princes from all over the country, asked for the king.
Zhu Jun, Wang Yun and other ministers, in the face of the aggressive Li Si, did not dare to come out to oppose it.
The entire imperial court was controlled by Lao Qin.
The various princes turned to the Western Regions and Mobei, and their merits have far exceeded those of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, except for the king, the emperor of Han has no reward.
And the world has changed, and it is no longer the world of the Liu family.
"Exactly."
Liu Xie's voice was immature, and he didn't realize what it meant.
There is only one step between being crowned king and being called emperor, and whoever can unify the Han Empire can basically be called emperor and change the dynasty.
In the ninth year of the lordship's calendar, after a long campaign in the Eastern Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of lords were eliminated, and only a few princes remained.
Chutian served as the king of Xia in the Han Empire, a general, and a pastor of Jizhou.
Lao Qin served as the king of Qin in the Han Empire, a general of the chariot cavalry, and a lieutenant of the school.
Mingguan served as the Ming King of the Han Empire, the Hussar General, and the Youzhou Pastor.
Tongque served as the king of Wu of the Han Empire, the general of Wei, and the pastor of Yangzhou.
Yang Shilang served as the king of Song in the Han Empire, the general of Zhengnan, and the pastor of Jingzhou.
Wang Defa served as the king of Yue in the Han Empire, the general of Zhennan, and the pastor of Jiaozhou.
Huo An served as the Liang King of the Han Empire, the general of the expedition to the west, and the protector of the Western Regions.
Because the princes of Yizhou were busy with the civil war and did not contribute much to deal with Temujin, Lao Qin directly ignored the princes of Yizhou and did not give the princes of Yizhou the title of king.
Because of his special relationship with Huo An, Mu Ke, the lord of Nanzhong, no longer asked for the title of king after Huo An was crowned king.
All princes and kings can open royal palaces.
Chutian opened the Xia Palace, with Xia Liang as the Xia Princess, and Hua Mulan enjoyed the same treatment as the Xia Princess, as for the later Holy Arc and Roufu Emperor's status, relatively low.
Catherine did not belong to the Han Empire, she was a grand duke herself, and she did not look down on the position of the Xia Palace.
The Xia Wangfu set up a book, and the patriarch Fang Xuanling was the secretary of the book.
At the same time, the Xia Wangfu began to set up a six-department framework, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry each have their own talent management, which is a set of its own system.
The military department is only an administrative body, and the only person who really has the power to mobilize the army is King Xia.
When King Xia is ill, Princess Xia can briefly command the army, and after King Xia recovers, he needs to return the military power to King Xia.
Chu Tian has always held the military power in his own hands, and he is the only one who can mobilize a million troops.
The Ministry of Officials manages personnel evaluations, promotions, etc., and Du Ruhui and other civil officials are responsible.
The household department manages the fields, household registration, taxes, and profits, and Sang Hongyang, Li Kui and others are responsible.
The Ministry of Rites manages education, ceremonies, etc., and Zhang Zhao and other civil officials are responsible.
The Criminal Department manages criminal punishments, etc., and Chen Qun and other civil officials are responsible.
The Ministry of Engineering manages civil engineering, and Li Jie and other civil officials are in charge.
As for the departments related to the march and war, King Xia was in charge of each army and set up departments for strategists, logistics, armaments, training, and supervision, which were independent of the six administrative departments.
In Chu Tian's view, marching and fighting should be separated from administration, otherwise the legion would be easily controlled by the literati.
Each regiment is managed by military divisions to improve efficiency.
In addition to Chu Tian himself being called the King of Xia, the various generals under his command were also promoted.
The news of the proclamation of the various princes of the Han Empire spread, causing panic among the civilizations around the Han Empire.
The princes are kings, which means that the scale of the war is greater.
The turmoil in Mobei was basically over, and Lao Qin commanded the army and drove the captive population back to Yinzhou.
"Ahem...... When he became the king of Qin, he had no regrets in this life. The Mongol Empire was destroyed, and the next thing that could have happened was a civil war. How about Mingguan? ”
Lao Qin coughed lightly, and Yang Dayan followed him as a guard.
Jia Xu said: "Mingguan and Wang Defa met Wanyan Agu in the east, and a big war broke out. After defeating Yan Aguta, they returned to the fishing sea. ”
"Only by uniting Mingguan can we have the power to fight."
Lao Qin knew that his power could not compete with Chu Tian, and Mingguan, an ally, had already established an alliance between the two of them a long time ago.
"I don't know how Xie Ai and the others pacified Xiqiang."
Lao Qin thought of the Qiang tribe in the west again.
Some Qiang tribes, with their fierce folk customs, are not so easy to deal with.
Jincheng County, the white-clothed general Xie Ai, and Pang De, the general Li Yuanhao, led Huang Zhongyi Conghu, and the Western Xia Iron Harrier to crusade against Xiqiang, the two sides gathered 100,000 troops for a decisive battle, and the banner was displayed!
Pang De immediately squinted his eyes and looked at the Qiang army opposite.
The equipment of this group of Qiang people was obviously inferior to that of the officers and soldiers, and under the command of a Qiang leader, they were armed with a variety of weapons and confronted the officers and soldiers.
Pang Delang said: "Han Bing is prestigious, he leads all the countries, and the sun and the moon shine on them, and they are all concubines. Yao Yizhong, you are secretly unifying the various departments of Xiqiang and attempting to rebel, why don't you surrender?! ”
The leader of the Qiang people, who had gray temples and commanded the Qiang army with his son, heard Pang De's persuasion to surrender, so he replied: "If you want to fight, you will fight!" ”
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"
Pang De led Huangzhong Yi Conghu to attack the coalition forces of the Xiqiang tribe.
Suddenly, Huang Zhongyi Conghu was in a commotion and hesitated.
"This person has the ability to influence the Qiang people."
Xie Ai subdued Huang Zhongyi Conghu, and saw that Huang Zhongyi Conghu was influenced by Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang people, and hesitated, knowing that Yao Yizhong, as the leader of the Qiang people, had special abilities.
"Yao Xiang, kill the enemy general!"
Yao Yizhong ordered his son Yao Xiang to lead 3,000 Qiang cavalry to tentatively attack Xie Ai.
Xie Ai rode in a carriage, wearing a white beanie, calmly, and ordered the troops not to move.
Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia, frowned: "The enemy army is coming, why not give up the carriage and fight on horseback?" ”
"Not really."
Xie Ai stood still.
"Could it be an ambush?"
Yao Xiang, the Qiang general, approached Xie Ai, but found that Xie Ai was extremely calm and couldn't help but hesitate.
"This person is dressed as a scholar, I'm afraid that there is an ambush and retreat!"
Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang people, was also hesitating, and in order to prevent his son from being killed by the ambush, he finally chose to recall Yao Xiang.
"Kill!"
At this moment, the fierce general Xu Huang led his troops to cut off the retreat of the Qiang army from the small road, and killed from the rear of the Qiang army!
"It's time to attack."
Xie Ai saw that Yao Xiang was retreating, and Xu Huang was in position, so he took advantage of the situation to attack.
Li Yuanhao looked at the white-clothed scholar with some surprise, and then commanded the Western Xia Iron Harrier to attack the Qiang army.
The Qiang army hesitated, and was flanked by officers and soldiers, and was completely defeated.
Pang De broke into the enemy formation and engaged Yao Xiang, the two generals fought, Yao Xiang was eight feet five inches long, and his strength was not low, and he did not fall behind for a while.
"There are people in Xiliang, and they are invincible!"
Yao Yizhong was defeated and became afraid of Xie Ai.
The Xiliang War was just a small episode that happened during the Mobei War, not many people noticed this war, Xiqiang was still resisting, but it had basically been suppressed.
"It's time for us to return to Summer City."
Chutian appointed Prince Yan to manage Mobei, Fan Zhongyan assisted Prince Yan to pacify the various tribes in Mobei, and Di Qing was the main general to crusade against the disobedient tribes.
In addition, Li Mu led a cavalry, prepared cattle, sheep, grain and grass, and went to conquer the Baikal region, with the aim of capturing a third large city.
"Summer City ......"
Xiao Xuan found that she could no longer escape, Chu Tian ordered the Women's Army to guard her strictly, once she arrived in Xia City, then she might not be able to leave......
"Or should we try to please him......"
Xiao Xuan was also hesitating.
The remnants of the Liao State are estimated to have fled back to the Horqin grassland, sandwiched between the two forces of Chutian and Mingguan, with no future.
If you try to curry favor with King Xia, you may be able to get some conditions for the Khitan tribe.
The title of King Xia is already equivalent to the current King of Liao, and it also meets Xiao Xuan's conditions.
Despite his heavy thoughts, Xiao Sui was taken to Xia City.
