Chapter 52: Zhou Ziwang rebels
PS: The author's account was inexplicably blocked for a day and has just been recovered.
After the six major gates sent back, they sent their disciples to participate in the righteous army, encircling and suppressing the Yuan army Tartars scattered all over the country, and for a time, the world was in flames, and the war was in full swing, and the Mongols were defeated and retreated.
In less than half a year, the remnants of the Yuan army in the Central Plains have all been wiped out, and Wang Baobao retreated to the desert with the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty. Even if the Ming army continued to pursue, the Yuan Mongols could continue to retreat to the Western Regions, and the deeper they went into the desert, the more difficult it would be to supply, and it would be worth the loss to continue the war. This is also the same problem that all successive Central Plains dynasties have faced.
Moreover, it is the wish of the people of the world to drive out the Central Plains of the Mongolian Tatars, and now that the Mongolian Tatars have been driven out of the Central Plains, if there is another war, I am afraid that the people of the world will be accused of being reckless.
Since the capture of Dadu, Luo Chuan, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, White-eyed Eagle King, Blue Winged Bat King, etc., all stayed in Dadu, with Dadu as the core, commanding the Yuan army of the 32 Road Altar to encircle and suppress the whole country in a radial shape, and Dadu has basically become the political center of Mingjiao.
Luo Chuan ordered to summon the high-level leaders of the Ming Sect to come to Dadu to discuss important matters.
Now that the world is at peace, it is time to consider the establishment of a new order. Moreover, it is time for Luo Chuan's task to be completed.
On this day, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, White-eyed Eagle King, Green Winged Bat King, Golden Lion King, Wusanren, Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhu Yuanzhang all arrived.
The Golden Lion King was taken back half a year ago, and Zhu Yuanzhang was crowned king because he was the first to attack Dadu and made great achievements in the past half a year. If Zhou Zhiruo is a saint, she naturally cannot be absent.
At this point, the top level of Mingjiao is basically there.
"Why hasn't King Zhou arrived?"
Today, Mingjiao has changed from the Four Great Dharma Kings to the Five Great Dharma Kings. Since the Golden Retriever Lion King came back, several Dharma kings have seen him, but he has never seen Zhou Ziwang.
On the side, the Blue Winged Bat King sneered: "Zhou Ziwang is different from us people, since he was crowned king, he has never shown his face, and he doesn't take the sect leader in his eyes at all. ”
"Zhou Ziwang is so bold!" the Golden Retriever Lion King snorted angrily, since he knew that Luo Chuan killed Cheng Kun to help him avenge him, he fully supported Luo Chuan, and of course he was dissatisfied with Zhou Ziwang.
The white-eyed eagle king looked at Zhou Zhiruo and asked in a deep voice, "Zhiruo's niece, King Zhou told us so many people to wait for him? Why don't you come, you have to give a reason?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled faintly, but with a hint of sorrow and sadness between her eyebrows, she sneered: "You have locked me up in Dadu for half a year, staying at home, and never contacting my father, how can I know what his old man thinks?"
"Zhiruo niece, we are also for your good. After all, as a saint, you naturally want to maintain a sense of ice and mystery. The white-eyed eagle king persuaded with a bitter expression.
"Hehe......" Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes directly.
At this moment, an urgent report came:
"Sect Master, King Zhou is reversed!"
Rumble!
The Golden Retriever Lion King's temper was the most violent, his whole body was full of momentum, and the seat was directly shattered, only to see him grow up, and said angrily: "Zhou Ziwang is so bold, he dares to betray the Holy Sect!"
Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, the white-eyed eagle king, and the blue-winged bat king also suddenly became gloomy, seeing that they were about to build a country and divide the feudal system, and reward the ministers, Zhou Ziwang suddenly came out like this, wouldn't it add to the blockage?
On the contrary, Luo Chuan was not half surprised by this, like an ancient well without waves, he waved his hand lightly and said: "The lion king is angry for the time being, let's discuss this matter slowly!"
Yang Xiao waved his hand, and the guard immediately moved a chair in again.
After the Golden Retriever Lion King sat down, his face was still not calm, full of anger, he glared at Zhou Zhiruo fiercely, and said, "You Lao Tzu is rebellious, did you already know about this matter?"
In addition to Luo Chuan, only Zhou Zhiruo was the only one present whose face was not shocked, and said lightly: "How can I know what my father wants to do?"
"Don't think that by pretending not to know, you can shirk responsibility. The Golden Retriever Lion King snorted angrily.
This time, Zhou Zhiruo did not respond. She didn't know about Zhou Ziwang's rebellion, but she understood that her father was not the kind of character who was willing to condescend to others, and it was only a matter of time before he set up his own door.
Luo Chuan stretched out his hand and pressed it to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said unhurriedly: "I had expected Zhou Ziwang's rebellion, and I had also made preparations in advance, so Zhou Ziwang definitely couldn't make any waves! Brother Zhu, you can introduce the specific situation to you." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "The sect leader is wise, and he has long expected that Zhou Ziwang will definitely rebel if he has a rebellious brain. Therefore, heavy troops were set up in Jingzhou, Wuhan, and Luoyang in advance, and Xu Da, Deng Yu, and Li Wenzhong were transferred. Zhou Ziwang controlled Xiangyang, thinking that he controlled the important land of the soldiers, but he didn't know the sect leader's clever calculations, and he had already laid a net. ”
Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Baimei Eagle King and others are no longer worried, Xu Da and Deng Yu are all fierce generals in the Ming army who can fight well, and they are prepared in advance, so they must be foolproof at this time.
The Golden Retriever Lion King laughed: "Zhou Ziwang, a rat generation, dares to betray the Holy Sect, the old man must screw off his dog's head." ”
Zhou Zhiruo's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and a trace of hesitation flashed on her pale face, and finally she got up and begged: "My father is probably confused by the villain, and he is fascinated by the ghost for a while, the sect leader is merciful, please let my father live." She knew that under Luo Chuan's heavy arrest, Zhou Ziwang's rebellion would never succeed.
"Hmph, when everyone joined the Holy Sect, they made a blood oath, Zhou Ziwang betrayed the Holy Sect, and he should be burned to death by the Holy Flame!" said the Golden Lion King angrily.
Zhou Zhiruo ignored him, kept looking at Luo Chuan with pleading eyes, and said sadly: "As long as the sect leader is willing to spare my father's life, let me do anything!"
Luo Chuan smiled faintly and said unhurriedly: "This matter lies with King Zhou and not with me." If King Zhou is lost and returns, with his hard work over the years, the merits and demerits will be offset, and the death penalty will naturally be avoided. But I'm afraid that he will not come to his senses, and when the time comes, let more disciples sacrifice in vain, and when the time comes, even if I am willing to let him go, the members of the Ming Sect will not agree!"
Zhou Zhiruo naturally heard that Luo Chuan agreed, and was immediately overjoyed, and said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely persuade my father to wake up!"
On the same day, Luo Chuan, Zhou Zhiruo and others rode fast horses to Xiangyang.
By the time they arrived at the border of Xiangyang, it was already three days later.
In the past three days, under the attack of Xu Da, Deng Yu and other armies, Zhou Ziwang's subordinates were defeated and retreated, and now, only an ancient city in Xiangyang remains, besieged by more than 100,000 troops.
Before Luo Chuan came to Xiangyang City, how similar was the scene in front of him to the scene when he first crossed over? Six years ago, when he first crossed over, Zhou Ziwang was also trapped in Xiangyang alone. At that time, Luo Chuan was trapped in it, and now, Luo Chuan is outside, and Zhou Ziwang is still the lonely soldier who is trapped.
