The change in the south did not surprise Chen Haotian, this was the result he had already expected, but it was the opposite, it was a big deal to fight back.

Tang Zhengquan was right, Mu Jinyun suddenly rose up and made a lot of noise in his hinterland, which was the top priority he had to deal with.

Today's Tianze Kingdom is like a seriously ill patient who urgently needs his help, but things must be prioritized, and the top priority is to calm the civil strife first.

Only by driving out the black-clothed army can we free up our hands and concentrate our forces to deal with the southern rebellion, otherwise, it is likely that both the beginning and the end will evolve into a failure to take care of the whole and the tail.

After a moment of silence, he said to the others: "Go and tell the ministers, the rebellion of the thieves is not a big deal, the court will put down the rebellion, and the sky of Tianze will not fall!

"Wow!" the four important ministers of the court claimed to be.

"Zhengquan, is that Imperial Doctor Zhou back?" Chen Haotian suddenly asked.

"The king, he has already returned, and now he is in the Tai Hospital, and he has not found anything abnormal, and the minister has ordered someone to monitor him closely. ”

Chen Haotian's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and he said with some puzzlement: "Oh, I'm back, so it should be the shepherd's superb technique, and he really hid it!"

Tang Zhengquan echoed: "The minister also thinks so, otherwise he will never take the initiative to send him to death, but the minister suggests that he should not be relaxed, nor can he be used again, and he needs to be strictly guarded again!"

Chen Haotian nodded, and then instructed Xie Kongyuan: "Kongyuan, transfer the manpower of Tianxinghai back, the south has been lost, they stay there as if they are waiting for death, just leave some people to watch." ”

Xie Kongyuan bowed down to receive the order, and said cautiously: "Great King, the people of the Jade Immortal Sect are acting strangely, they have set up a stone tablet outside the door of the Law Tomb Palace, with three words written on it, the tomb of the first king!

Chen Haotian pondered for a while and waved his hand: "This matter doesn't matter, let me ask you, have the people from the Jade Immortal Sect evacuated?"

"There has been no evacuation, but no longer blocking the entry and exit of outsiders. ”

Chen Haotian pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't think about this, when the palace gate opens, everything will be revealed." ”

How did he know that Mu Jinyun had already entered the palace in advance, and resumed the cultivation of the peep path period, and there was no time for the gate of this Dharma Tomb Palace to be opened.

The reason why some people stayed, it was a trick made by Mu Jinyun, otherwise everyone would be gone, and it would be easy for people to guess that something had happened in the Dharma Tomb Palace.

......

The change in the situation in the seven southern states was really as Tang Zhengquan expected, after the success of the six states, before the situation completely stabilized, on the fourth day of the first month of November, Mu Jinyun announced that he would be in charge.

With Liu Min as the commander and Mu Bin as the vanguard, the army marched south from Jianzhou, and at the same time, the army of the six states moved together to form a siege of Xiazhou.

Ten days later, several armies attacked Xiazhou on all sides, all the way to attack the city, the momentum was like a bamboo, half a month later, the army converged, and the regiments surrounded the capital of Xiazhou and sealed the city.

That night, there was a riot in the city, and Yuan Feng, the commander of the soldiers and horses, led his henchmen to rush into Shuaitang, killed the Xiazhou pacification envoy and the state pastor on the spot, and then surrendered Kaicheng.

The seven southern states announced that they had changed hands, guarding the south of the pass, and since then they have changed their courts.

When the news of defeat reached the royal capital, Chen Haotian couldn't help but have a toothache, although he had expected this result, but the speed of defeat was too fast.

In such a big place as Xiazhou, it hasn't even lasted for a month, and it has already been announced that it has changed hands, and this big nephew of mine is really a good skill!

Now there is no good countermeasure, so he can only urge Tang Zhengquan to step up the mobilization of troops and military supplies, use Xuanzhou as a base, and crusade against the south as soon as possible.

Tang Zhengquan has been very busy these days, on the one hand, he sent troops from the northern states and ordered them to gather in the direction of Xuanzhou.

On the other hand, the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the food and clothing of so many men and horses, as well as the preparation of military supplies, siege equipment and other combat materials, all need to be personally inquired about by him.

Tang Zhengquan seemed very busy, preparing to destroy the south was only one thing, and there was one more thing that made him have to be distracted.

On the one hand, the infestation of bandits in the north became more and more intense, making the defense troops in the north miserable.

Although there had never been a large-scale battle between the two sides, this kind of elusive invasion war was a headache for the defending side, and it also firmly contained the northern army.

On the other hand, the black-clad army suddenly held on and launched a ferocious counterattack.

The war then fell into a stalemate, the two sides fought for every inch of land, and every day, the battlefield was performing a meat grinding drama.

Tang Zhengquan knew that this was to buy time for the seven southern states, so that they could be more prepared to meet the expedition from Chen Haotian.

Knowing is knowing, but there is no good plan, so he can only continue to urge the gale wind to blow and drive the black-clothed army out of the hinterland as soon as possible.

These things made Tang Zhengquan anxious and lacking skills, and he didn't dare to leave the royal capital easily, let alone go to Xuanzhou to take charge.

As a result, a monstrous man-made disaster that no one expected broke out.

In the Ya Chamber, the capital of Xiazhou, civil and military forces at all levels gathered together.

Mu Jinyun listened to the report ahead, but he didn't say a word, and finally waved his hand and asked the reporter to retreat.

He looked left and right, and asked with a smile: "Everyone, Tang Zhengquan is coming soon, our integration has just begun, this is not a good opportunity for a decisive battle, what countermeasures do you have?"

All the civil and military officers exchanged their heads and agreed with the king's words, but they couldn't think of any good way.

It takes a lot of time to integrate, and Tang Zhengquan is also racing against time, people will not fight a gentleman's war, once they are ready, they will definitely attack the pass immediately.

Although the war in the north can drag on for a while, everyone knows very well that the time they can buy is limited after all, and it is still not enough to complete the full integration.

I have to mention here that Mu Jinyun's previous integration method can no longer be used, after all, after the armies of the seven states are combined, the number of people exceeds 10 million, and that kind of small fight will definitely not be on the table.

If you want to integrate reasonably in place, you can only patiently do everything well, which will definitely consume a lot of time, and all opportunistic methods are destined to not work.

Mu Jinyun looked at Wenwu and felt a little disappointed in his heart.

He needed a talented strategist, someone who could give him advice at a critical moment, but unfortunately, none of the people below had this ability.

No way, I have to trouble my daughter-in-law again, Mu Jinyun turned his head to look at Xiao Xiangyi, and just wanted to ask him for advice, when he suddenly heard someone below shouting: "King, Weichen can offer a plan!"

Mu Jinyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned his head to take a closer look, and found that it was Yi Pei standing at the foot of the hall, respectfully saluting himself.

"Yi Qingping, what are your plans?"

"King, the army of the south is assembled in Xuanzhou, if it can make Xuanzhou troubled, the army of the south will be self-defeating, no matter how great he Tang Zhengquan is, he will not be able to attack the south in a short time. In this way, we will have enough time to integrate, and when our integration is completed, we can fight to the death with the puppet court!"

The idea is really good, the key is, how can you make Xuanzhou chaotic, people's lives are peaceful, but it's not that you want it to be chaotic, it will definitely be chaotic!

Yi Pei guessed Mu Jinyun's thoughts, and without waiting for him to ask, he took the initiative to ask Ying.

"King, I am a fellow villager with Chongzhang, I know a lot about this person, I am willing to go to Xuanzhou as a lobbyist, saying that if you can succeed, Xuanzhou will be chaotic!"

"How sure are you?"

Yi Pei smiled confidently: "Ten percent!"

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and everyone felt that Yi Pei was too arrogant, and he dared to say that he was ten percent sure, which was too full.

Mu Jinyun looked at Xiao Xiangyi, who nodded slightly at him.

"Okay!" Mu Jinyun said, "This king has allowed you to send an envoy, what do you want?"

Yi Pei shook his head, and replied in a calm tone: "King, Weichen has no requirements, one person and one ride is enough, if you can't persuade Chongzhang to surrender and make Xuanzhou chaotic, Weichen is willing to come and see you!"

......

In Huaiyoucheng, the capital of Xuanzhou, Chongzhang sat sullenly in the study of the state pastor's mansion, drinking bitter wine alone.

The previous time he led the army to attack the guarded pass, and after being scolded, he chose to retreat without a fight, and after a few days' work, he has become a joke all over the world.

These days, Chongzhang has been living in fear, waiting for punishment from the imperial court.

However, the strange thing is that to this day, he has not been punished in any way! He has only received many summons from Tang Zhengquan, strictly ordering him to do a good job in receiving the munitions of the armies from all walks of life.

Seeing that the armies of other state capitals are gathering more and more outside Huaiyou City, and the reason for the chapter is not clear, there is always a lot of confusion in my heart.

Today, Chongzhang was irritable, hiding in the study alone, and drank sullen wine.

When he was depressed, there was a guard outside the door who reported: "Lord Yufu, one of your fellow villagers asks to see you!"

My fellow countryman, Chongzhang frowned, and subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

The guard replied embarrassedly: "He refuses to say, saying that when he sees you, you will naturally recognize you." ”

"Rubbish!" Chongzhang scolded, "pretend to be a ghost and drive him away!"

The guard snorted, and just wanted to turn around and leave, Chongzhang suddenly stopped him, and after hesitating for a while, he ordered the guard: "Go and bring him over!"

Not long after, under the guidance of the guards, Shi Shiran walked into the house.

Chongzhang looked at him carefully and found that this person's slender body was somewhat of a water snake waist, his face was a little yellow, his eyes were small but shiny, and he had a lock of mustache on his chin.

After entering the house, this person did not need to give in to each other, but generously moved a chair, placed it on the opposite side of the table, and sat on it unceremoniously.

Then Chong Chongzhang arched his hand and said happily: "My lord is really a noble person who forgets things, and he doesn't remember my old friend?"

Chongzhang borrowed wine to dispel his sorrows, deliberately did not use mana to dissolve the smell of wine, and his tongue was a little straight at the moment, and he patted his forehead with his hand, and laughed.

"Who should I be, it's you kid. Alas, didn't you serve under the captain, how did you have the spare time to come to me?"

Yi Pei lowered his voice and said, "My lord is confused, which captain are you talking about?"

"Nonsense, there are a few more lieutenants, you're not in Jun..."

Speaking of this, Chongzhang suddenly woke up, and hurriedly instructed the guards: "You stand down, tell everyone in the courtyard to retreat outside the courtyard gate, and if there is an intruder without permission, behead!"

"Whoa!" the guard ordered to retreat.

After the guards left, Chongzhang stood up from his seat and asked in a low voice: "Jun Penny is dead, I heard that everyone around him has died, where did you come from, could it be?"

Yi Pei smiled, stood up and turned around: "My lord, look carefully, I am a human being, not a ghost cultivator." ”

"You're all right, Brother Xianxian, tell me quickly, how did you escape the catastrophe?"

"My lord, Jun Peng killed himself and did not listen to good advice, and after I tried to persuade him to no avail, he was driven to the rear army by his stick, and only then did he escape the catastrophe. ”

Chongzhang immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked about what happened, and Chong Pei did not hide it, and chose to tell the cause and effect of the penny room battle.

After listening to Yi Pei's narration, Chongzhang sat there quietly, his expression changing.
