Beginning in July of the first year of Taiping, several shocking pieces of news spread throughout the Great Zhou in a short period of time.

First of all, the first one was that Cao An, as the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sent a letter to ask for the Son of Heaven.

With this incident as the fuse, the entire Yuzhou was quickly ignited.

First of all, the Yellow Nest in Yuzhou appeared, and various villains of the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce appeared.

The situation already has a feeling that the world is going to be in chaos.

Soon, however, things changed again.

As the first to emerge, Huang Chao slaughtered millions of people in Yuzhou.

When he came out with this frenzied hand, the anti-thief forces of the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce, which was originally very active and wanted to take the lead, suddenly stopped a lot, and Cao An, who cooperated with him, broke with him directly.

What happened next was that Cao An teamed up with Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin to exterminate Huangchao in a short period of time.

Then Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin accepted the title of king of the Great Zhou, handed over the already erosive Yuzhou to Cao An, and took his military generals Wenchen and a small half of Yuzhou's property to Liangzhou directly to take over his fiefdom.

This series of events made the entire Da Zhou a little dumbfounded.

However, the matter did not end there, Cao An took over Yuzhou, and many of his neighbors were very eager to move, and at the same time, another news came out from Luoyang.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty officially canonized Wang Fugui Yizi Yuan Kangping Hou Liu became King Kang and gave the fief Qingzhou!

When this news came out, it can be said that the whole country was shaken.

The main reason is that the identity of the canonized person this time, as well as the location of his fief, are too sensitive.

Kang Ping waited for Liu Cheng, Wang Fugui's righteous son and nephew.

I have to say that although Wang Fugui has died, he still has a high prestige in the Great Zhou.

And Liu Cheng is not just Wang Fugui's righteous son, ordinary people may not know who Liu Cheng is, but for those who have a certain strength, they basically know that Liu Cheng is now a veritable maritime overlord of the Great Zhou.

With his identity and strength, coupled with the current environment of the Great Zhou, it is not incomprehensible that Liu Cheng has been crowned king, but the fief given to Liu Cheng is obviously sinister.

Many martial soul forces believe that this should be a smoke bomb released by Cao An.

In order to pull up Liu Cheng as a flag to attract attention, he can use this period of time to recuperate.

Cao An doesn't need Liu Cheng to explicitly agree to him, as long as Liu Cheng doesn't refute, then the martial spirit forces along the coast will have to devote a lot of attention to guard against Liu Cheng.

Although they estimated that Liu Cheng would not be a gunman for Cao An, no one dared to guarantee that Liu Cheng would really not make a move.

However, what made the martial soul forces of all parties even more jaw-dropping was that almost immediately after the news from Da Zhou's side, Liu Cheng's side immediately gave a clear response.

Liu Cheng not only made it clear that he accepted the canonization of Da Zhou, but also directly shouted to Qingzhou, asking them to evacuate Qingzhou within half a month, otherwise he would take back his fief by force.

When Liu Cheng said this, the military system of the entire territory began to operate, and he directly showed his determination to take back Qingzhou.

I have to say that Liu Cheng is really quite upper.

With his such cooperation, now the attention of the entire Da Zhou has basically been attracted by Liu Cheng, and the pressure on Cao An's side has suddenly become much less.

Of course, when Liu Cheng did this, he would inevitably attract the eyes that should have been on Cao An.

At this time, all forces also reacted differently.

…………

Qingzhou here.

Speaking of which, the Yellow Turban has been recuperating since Wang Fugui's death, and there has been no major conflict for most of the year.

However, in the past six months, although there have been fewer wars on the Yellow Turbans' side, there have been a lot more troops.

More than half a year ago, when Wang Fugui died in battle, the remaining army of the entire Yellow Turban was only about four or five hundred thousand, and now more than half a year has passed, and the number of Yellow Turbans has soared directly to 700,000.

Moreover, the quality of the Yellow Turban Army's army has also improved greatly compared to more than half a year ago, not only with a large number of backbone soldiers, but also with a hundred or so warships, as well as several top legions.

In the past six months, there have been continuous and outstanding generals.

The Qingzhou side that entered it, in terms of military strength, is more than twice as strong as most of the first half of the year, and even among the coastal martial arts forces, it can be regarded as a very outstanding member.

With such a powerful force in hand, it is naturally impossible for them to instigate Liu Cheng.

After Liu Cheng made it clear that he wanted to recover Qingzhou by force, the Yellow Turban moved directly.

A large number of troops were mobilized, and the elite under his command were concentrated in the coastal area to wait for Liu Cheng's arrival.

Of course, Liu Cheng is the least concerned about Qingzhou's reaction, after all, when it comes to the control of Qingzhou's army, no one can compare to Liu Cheng.

Now he really wants to take Qingzhou, it's just a matter of stretching out his hand.

Perhaps for Liu Cheng, the biggest difficulty lies in how to act well, making people believe that he won Qingzhou by virtue of his strength and nothing else.

But this is not a big deal, Liu Cheng has people under him who can think about him for a headache.

Liu Cheng's biggest focus at this time is in two aspects, one is the tracking of Hua Qingwu, or where Ji Ruxue is.

Originally, the progress in this matter was not much, and Hua Qingwu had a deep understanding of Liu Cheng.

Although she got out of the boat before, she always had some doubts in her heart, so she kept going around the bend and never returned to Ji Ruxue's side.

However, this time, after Liu Cheng made it clear that he would accept the title of king of Da Zhou and take Qingzhou, Hua Qingwu was obviously in a hurry.

I believe that on her side, after a while, Liu Chengcheng will be able to gain something, and Liu Cheng has a hunch that the day when he sees Ji Ruxue will not be too short.

In addition to Hua Qingwu and Ji Ruxue's side, the other is the use of martial spirits.

Liu Cheng came back this time, opened the treasure chest obtained by killing Huang Chao, and the martial soul was also used.

In the treasure chest of Huangchao, Liu Cheng didn't open anything good, so he opened 10 million gold, which is better than nothing for Liu Cheng now.

However, Huang Chao's martial soul is different, Song Jiang's crippled martial soul is not counted, Huang Chao is the only martial soul of the leader of the martial soul force in Liu Cheng's hands.

The use of this kind of martial soul is much more troublesome than that of ordinary martial souls.

It's not just that you can succeed by finding just one person, and the inheritance of every martial soul power leader needs a special test.

And Huang Chao's martial soul inheritance test is quite bloody, if you want to inherit Huang Chao's martial soul, you must kill more than 1,000 people with your own hands, and there are certain requirements for talent and command.

Liu Cheng searched the whole army but did not meet the requirements, and in the end, he could only find a few talented and commanders who met the requirements and took them with him for training......
