Chapter 978: Send someone to take care of it
Xia Fan didn't know that Shen Zhong had already regarded himself as a big danger and was going to come to fight him in person.
At this time, Xia Fan was leading his troops to kill all the way to the place where Xuantian Cliff was located. Capturing the entire territory of the Divine Eye Kingdom was naturally something Xia Fan had to do, and before that, he needed to completely incorporate Xuantian Cliff into his territory.
Although Xia Fan didn't make a move, with the Thirteen Princes and others around him, as well as the 100,000 soul bodies plus the snowballing army, his way to Xuantian Cliff was extremely smooth.
Of course, Xia Fan is not just blindly attacking cities and plundering land, but also stabilizing order and appeasing the people.
It's just that this kind of thing is too cumbersome, even if Xia Fan has the ability to deal with it calmly, but he doesn't have the time to deal with it one by one, so after some thinking and discussion, Xia Fan finally let the Thirteen Princes take charge of this matter.
To make this decision, Xia Fan also has his own considerations.
One is that even if the thirteen princes have not been cultivated as future emperors since he was a child, he is a prince after all, and he has seen and heard a lot in the palace, and some things have been understood by him simply by hearing and seeing.
I didn't have the opportunity to do it before, but now that I have the opportunity, I can naturally get started quickly and do it well.
Second, Xia Fan also hopes to take this opportunity to cultivate the thirteen princes' ability to govern, so that they can be used in the future.
Although Xia Fan rarely mentions one thing, he has never forgotten it in his heart, that is, getting rid of Liu Xingchen. In this case, Xia Fan would definitely not say it to the Thirteen Princes in person, but he had to make some preparations for this.
The Han Dynasty is too big, and it takes too much energy to dominate such a big dynasty, Xia Fan never thought about being the emperor at all, so after killing Liu Xingcheng, someone must be needed to take over the emperor's position, so as not to cause turmoil in the world and the people suffer.
Xia Fan thought about it and felt that it was best for the Thirteen Princes to do this.
In order for the Thirteen Princes to be able to manage the world well after taking over the Han Dynasty in the future, Xia Fan felt that it was necessary for him to practice more now.
No matter what the reason is, anyway, Xia Fan threw all the things about how to govern the territory of the Shenmu Kingdom to the thirteen princes, and said in a beautiful name: Hone you.
The Thirteen Princes were quite helpless about this, but they did not refuse. It's a good thing for him to be able to help his brother. At least when he gets busy, he doesn't have to think about things that make him sad.
Xia Fan led the army to march forward, and a series of distress twists and turns and various emergency information were continuously sent into Shen Zhong's hands.
Shen Zhong has become extremely irritable recently, not only the teacups and inkstones in the study are changed almost once a day, but at the same time, many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have also died a lot, no wonder Shen Zhong has become so violent, it is really the worsening situation that has forced him to become like this.
In recent days, a letter often came in the morning, which wrote the content of an urgent request for help, but before Shen Zhong could make a decision to deal with it, another piece of information was handed over in the afternoon, saying that the officials who had asked for help had died or surrendered.
It's okay once or twice, but every day, how can Shen Zhong bear it, he now looks at these twists and turns and information, as if he can feel that his country is being eaten away by Xia Fan piece by piece, and his soldiers and horses are gradually being swallowed up by Xia Fan.
Just thinking about it, Shen Zhong felt shuddered and angry at the same time.
"To send troops, we must send troops as soon as possible, no matter what, we can't let Xia Fan act so recklessly. Shen Zhong gritted his teeth and said.
When a country lord insists on doing something, the efficiency often becomes unusually fast, especially when Shen Zhong, the country lord, is still a strong man with the initial strength of the Grandmaster Realm, naturally no one dares to oppose any of his decisions.
Even the most honest and upright minister in the court, faced Shen Zhong, who was now like an angry lion, chose to remain silent.
It's not that no one has persuaded them, it's just that those who have been persuaded are already dead.
Lan Haolin never said a word, although he stood on top of the court, he watched coldly like an outsider. Looking at Shen Zhong's current appearance, he seemed to see his former self.
used to be so high-spirited, thinking that everything would run according to his own will, but when he met Xia Fan, he found that everything was not as beautiful as he imagined.
"I just don't know what Shen Zhong will do this time?!Is it possible to defeat Xia Fan?" Lan Haolin glanced at Shen Zhong, and a sense of anticipation appeared in his heart waiting to see a good show.
.....................
The information that Xia Fan's soldiers and horses had invaded the Divine Eyes Kingdom and had been driving straight along the way was soon presented to Liu Xingchen through the hands of the hidden dragon guard's spies.
This made Liu Xingchen's face suddenly gloomy.
It wasn't that he didn't want to send troops to exterminate Xia Fan before, but Ying Potian led his troops to attack the Han Dynasty, and the situation was fierce, and Liu Xingchen could only draw out most of his troops to deal with it, so that he didn't have too much strength to deal with Xia Fan again.
Although he also made some arrangements to curb the momentum of Xia Fan's power development, from the information that came one after another, the effect was not without it, but it was not as obvious as he thought.
Especially now that Xia Fan personally led his troops to attack the Divine Eye Country, the momentum was like a bamboo, which made Liu Xingchen secretly worried in his heart.
Liu Xingchen, who has been an emperor for many years, has an extraordinary view of the overall situation, and he knows very well that the biggest disadvantage of the forces that originally restricted the development of Xia Fan is that the territory is not large, the population is not large, and the resources are not rich enough.
However, if Xia Fan is allowed to annex the Divine Eye Country, then his territory will at least double the expansion, and the total population will naturally increase greatly, plus the various resources in the Divine Eyes Country, it is equivalent to Xia Fan solving all the problems that plague him at once.
Then it can be expected that Xia Fan's power will inevitably develop at a very fast speed, and even if it is not enough to compete with the Han Dynasty at that time, he will definitely have the confidence to protect himself.
If it was just these, Liu Xingchen would not be so worried. Because he knew that even if Xia Fan's power could develop rapidly, it was not deep enough after all, and there was still no way to compare with the Han Dynasty.
If he wanted to defeat the Han Dynasty just by relying on the territory and population of the Blue Jade Kingdom and the Shenmu Kingdom, it would obviously be impossible. As long as he destroys the Eagle Breaking Heaven on his side, it is easy to crush Xia Fan to death with his strength.
What really worried Liu Xingchen was the series of effects caused by Xia Fan's capture of the Divine Eye Kingdom.
The sons of the town king Xiahou rebelled, and Liu Xingchen already knew about the fact that they led their troops to attack the capital, and even he knew that Xiahou's sons made the agreement that the so-called immortal path of the capital was the king.
Although Xiahou's sons are talented, Liu Xingchen didn't take them seriously at all, because he knew that although Xiahou's sons were ambitious, they couldn't compare with Xiahou in terms of talent and strength.
But Liu Xingchen can not take the sons of the town kings led by Xia Hu in his eyes, but he can't and dare not ignore Xia Fan, who is also the son of the town king.
Because Liu Xingchen was once defeated by Xia Fan, he knows too well what kind of ability this once rumored proton has.
As the son of the king of the town, although Xia Fan may not be as famous as Xia Hu and others, he also has the qualifications to inherit the power left by the king of the town.
If Xia Fan captured the Shenmu Kingdom and his reputation skyrocketed, no one dared to guarantee that the powerful generals and auxiliary ministers who were loyal to the king of the town, Xiahou, would surrender their eyes to him and then join his disciples.
At that time, Xia Fan, who has soldiers and generals, and territory, will immediately become a real confidant. This is what Liu Xingchen is most worried about.
Originally, Liu Xingchen tried to curb Xia Fan's development to prevent this, but now it seems that the situation is developing step by step in the direction he is most worried about.
"You can't sit idly by like this! you have to be ruthless and hit Xia Fan, so that he can no longer capture the Shenmu Kingdom in peace. Liu Xingchen frowned slightly, paced back and forth, and said after a while: "Order." ”
Liu Jixiang, who had been silent, hurriedly took out his pen and ink, ready to record Liu Xingchen's will.
As the emperor, Liu Xingchen of course does not need to write every will by himself, but most of the time Liu Jixiang, who knows his intentions, does it for him, and in the end, he only needs Liu Xingchen to use the seal.
"I heard that Lanyu had rebels in the country, the political situation was unstable, the people were in turmoil, and the people were everywhere, and they changed suddenly for disasters, and repeatedly entered the territory of our Han Dynasty, doing evil, and causing many killings, I was uneasy, and the general Geng Qingping led his troops to exterminate them. Liu Xingchen paused when he said this, and said: "The person who ordered the messenger told Geng Qingping to let go of his hands and feet, don't have any worries, I will make decisions for him." ”
"Yes. Liu Jixiang nodded, and with a stroke of his pen, he had already written the holy decree.
On the surface, this will is to let Geng Qingping exterminate the rebellious people and prevent them from causing disaster to the Han Dynasty. But the real meaning is to let him brazenly enter the Blue Jade Country to attack Xia Fan's army.
Now although the Blue Jade Kingdom has been destroyed, and Lan Haolin has been exiled to the Divine Eyes Kingdom, as long as the Han Dynasty does not recognize Xia Fan's power for a day, then the Blue Jade Kingdom will always exist, and at the same time, Xia Fan's forces are the so-called rebel people.
Although it is also a bit inappropriate for the Han Dynasty to enter the Blue Jade Country to exterminate the so-called chaotic people, who can say that it is wrong for the Han Dynasty to do this at this time? As long as it is reasonable to say on the whole, the Han Dynasty can naturally do whatever it wants.
"Tell me again. Liu Xingchen looked at the holy decree written by Liu Jixiang, took out the imperial dragon jade seal and covered it, a light flashed, and the holy decree was suddenly shrouded in a faint light, exuding great coercion.
There is no way to disguise such a decree at all, and naturally there will be no situation where someone falsely transmits the decree.
Liu Xingchen looked at Liu Jixiang and said, "Baocang Province is the grain and grass of the Han Dynasty, it is very important, and it must not be taken lightly. ”
"Your Majesty, let Zuo Xiang go to Yong'an County, okay?" asked Liu Jixiang.
"If there's anything that doesn't work, let him go down on an errand, so that he won't be so close to the prince and the prince. Liu Xingchen sneered: "The son of Zhao Yin, the king of Pingnan, and the son of Liu Yuchengen, the king of Jingnan, have been following Xia Fan closely, at this time, they are not making waves in Yong'an County, since the king of Pingnan and the king of Jingnan don't care, then I will send someone to take care of it." ”
"Your Majesty. Liu Jixiang said respectfully.
