After the victory of the Liyang kings, most of them led their troops back to their respective fiefdoms, leaving only Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Divine Phoenix City.

And Shenhuang City, under Cao Changqing's many means, has already become an empty city, there are no ordinary people, and naturally there is not a grain of food.

Although Zhao Yi was annoyed by this, he couldn't do anything, he was very bored with his 30,000 soldiers on weekdays, and he only hoped to receive the emperor's order as soon as possible and return to the fiefdom to enjoy happiness.

However, when the news of the founding of the country that Xu Chuan said in Emperor Wu City spread, the only leisure he had was directly broken.

It's just a matter of establishing a country, and he has to choose this god Phoenix City, he knows that there will probably be a lot of trouble, and his fat face is full of hideousness and anger.

Of course, in fact, he did not take Xu Chuan's statement about the founding of the country too seriously.

Although he is tyrannical and lustful, he is extremely concerned about the distribution of forces in the world, especially the distribution of troops.

The more than 200,000 Western Chu, Xishu and other countries gathered by Cao Changqing are already one of the few troops in the world that are not under the control of Liyang.

Therefore, as far as he knew, there were no troops in Liyang that could be used to rebel against him, at least he had no information about where he was training the army privately.

It may be possible to have a thousand unknown private troops, but if there are tens of thousands, it will be difficult to hide.

After all, there are many military supplies such as armor and weapons.

The slightest change in the number of large numbers will arouse the awareness and vigilance of countless forces.

And without a large army in hand, with just one person, even if he is a so-called land immortal?

Throughout the ages, even Lu Zu, who was the number one in the world that day, still had to kneel in the face of the encirclement and killing of 30,000 troops.

However, just when he was about to wait for work and directly eliminate Xu Chuan, who was speaking wildly at the mouth of Emperor Wu City, the edict from Liyang made him puzzled.

In the edict, he was ordered to immediately evacuate Shenhuang City, retreat to Zhulu Mountain, join other vassal kings, and even have a large army from Tai'an City.

In the face of this mere person, it seems to be more solemn than facing the restoration of Western Chu a few years ago.

Although Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, was puzzled, under the strict order of the edict, after thinking for a while, he still led his troops to leave Shenhuang City on the same day.

And when he arrived at Zhulu Mountain, what surprised him even more was that in just a few days, Zhulu Mountain had gathered almost 80% of Liyang's troops, a full 600,000 army.

Even, Gu Jiantang, who has not been out of Tai'an City for a long time, is also here, and he is not the main general.

The main general was a middle-aged Taoist he had never seen before, but his face looked somewhat similar to that of Emperor Liyang, that is, his father.

Moreover, on the first day of Zhulu Mountain, he was relieved of his military power, and all his soldiers were disrupted and redistributed.

Under the emperor's order, he had no way to resist at all, and he clearly felt that if he dared to make trouble, even if he was a vassal king, he would definitely lose his head.

The Daoist didn't seem to take his status as a vassal king in his eyes at all.

Therefore, all his former tyranny has been reined in, and he behaves very well-behaved.

After living for so many years, he knows very well that when he can't understand many things, he must not speak out easily, otherwise, the end will be ugly.

Even Zhao Heng, the king of Jing'an, who has always been proud, handed over his military power, and An An began to eat fast and chant Buddha, he didn't think that he would be stronger than Zhao Heng, the king of Jing'an, who had almost sat on the throne.

And he also learned a name of this middle-aged Taoist from the young eunuch who had been serving beside the middle-aged Taoist.

"Gochen!"

......

When there were still five days before Xu Chuan announced the founding of the country, Beiliang Xu Xiao openly announced that he would stand on his own, and he would also break away from Liyang and officially establish the country after five days.

Suddenly, the world was in an uproar.

However, just when everyone was shocked about the relationship between Bei Liang and Xu Chuan.

On the same day, the Beimang army directly deployed 200,000 troops on the Beiliang border, and at the same time, 300,000 troops openly rushed to Zhulu Mountain through Youzhou, all the way unimpeded, and the guards along the road turned a blind eye.

Countless people were shocked.

Beimang: Is this joining forces with Liyang?

Is it because of Xu Chuan, who divided the sea with a sword in Emperor Wu City, or because of Beiliang, who declared himself independent?

Or both?

This kind of almost impossible thing to happen makes it difficult for countless scholars in the world to believe it at all.

Countless discussions, suspicions are rampant.

......

Bei Liang, Xu Xiao looked at the information in his hand and was silent.

He knew very well that the 200,000 troops of Beimang Chen Bing were to let him not act rashly, and the 300,000 troops who were tacitly allowed to enter the territory of Liyang by Tai'an City were to make peace with the Liyang army of Zhulu Mountain, and the trend of joining forces could be said to be clear.

This strange operation is difficult for him to understand after a lifetime of fighting.

And Liyang and Beimang were able to join forces this time, and the hidden things in it, he felt a little cold just thinking about it.

On the side, Li Yishan put down the information in his hand and said slowly, "Usually, there are only two possibilities that can make two irreconcilable forces abandon their prejudices and resist the same goal.

One is that this goal is too difficult and too strong, and it cannot be countered without working together.

One is that there are forces that are more powerful and irreversible than these two forces, and forcibly merge the two forces."

Xu Xiao looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Yuanying, what do you think?"

Li Yishan said calmly: "Although Mr. Xu has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and according to our investigation, the power is also huge, but according to the information obtained, it is not really strong enough for Liyang and Beimang to work together to contend with it, at least what it shows is far from enough."

Xu Xiao frowned and asked, "That's the second type?" However, is there a stronger force in this world than Liyang and Beimang?"

Li Yishan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is no one in this world, but there may not be one in heaven." He pointed upwards and remained silent.

Xu Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "You mean the fairy world? Doesn't it mean that the immortal world has not been able to meddle in the affairs of the world for hundreds of years?"

Li Yishan said slowly, "Has Da Zhuguo ever seen someone other than Mr. Xu who is so knowledgeable about luck and can manipulate that invisible luck at will?

The princess has been sleeping until now, relying on this power to steal the sky.

Over the years, I have searched all over the ancient books, but I have never seen a record of this matter, and even if the immortals descend to earth, they still do not have such ability.

Mr. Xu is too special, perhaps because of this matter, it will attract the attention of the fairy world, ordinary immortals may not have the ability to meddle in the affairs of the world, but the strongest people in the fairy world may not, their methods have long been beyond the imagination of mortals.

I'm afraid that only the top figures in the immortal realm can gather all the power of Liyang and Beimang.

With nearly one million troops from both countries, it may be to make this Mr. Xu have no way to escape and block all his vitality."

Xu Xiao's face changed several times, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Bei Liang has no turning back now, five days later, if he is defeated, I, Bei Liang, am afraid that I will follow in his footsteps, Yuan Ying, I plan to bring in 200,000 troops to support, what do you think?"

Li Yishan shook his head and said: "Now that Beimang Chen has 200,000 soldiers on my Beiliang border, if he divides 200,000 troops, it is very likely that Beimang will take advantage of it, Chen Zhibao's recent silence makes me a little uneasy, so don't act like this."

He paused and said: "What's more, 100,000 soldiers and horses are useless, since Mr. Xu dares to make such a big deal about the founding of the country, he must have his own support, what we have to do now is only to wait, wait for the result in five days, once the result is unfavorable, we must immediately prepare to retreat to Shu."

Xu Xiao was silent for a long time and did not speak.

After discussing some more things, he left the top floor of the Tingchao Pavilion and walked down from the tunnel on the first floor of the Tingchao Pavilion.

In the empty dark room, a crystal coffin emitted a bright light.

In the crystal coffin, Wu Su of Beiliang Wangfu was lying quietly, his face was no different from ten years ago.

Xu Xiao's rough big hand caressed Wu Su's still warm face, and he could even feel a faint snort.

He whispered, "You're still so good-looking, but I'm old."

He slowly talked about the changes in the world, said many things, and talked for a long time.

Slowly, the confusion in his heart disappeared, and only indescribable firmness remained.

"I'll make sure you open your eyes again, no matter what it takes!"

.....

At this moment, Divine Phoenix City.

On the second day after Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, led his army away, Xuanyuan Jingcheng and Cao Changqing returned to Shenhuang City with many people.

And this is only the first batch of people, and there will be a steady stream of people coming from various states in the future.

There are all kinds of talents in all aspects, Wen Hua, Su Tan'er and Xuanyuan Qingfeng are also among them.

On the same day, with a booming sound, the walls of the four sides of the Divine Phoenix City were directly blown up.

With Xu Chuan's many technologies in the first century of human beings in the world, gunpowder, which does not have much technical content, can be said to have as much as you want.

The ratio of various explosives and the modulation method are also refined to the extreme.

Although it is not intended to be weaponized, it is an excellent means of opening up rocks.

Blowing up the city walls is not a problem.

And with enough people, no shortage of materials, and countless martial artists, soon, the entire Divine Phoenix City began a earth-shaking transformation.

When Xu Chuan rushed to the Divine Phoenix City, there were still three days left before the founding day of the country, and at this moment, the Divine Phoenix City not only extended in all directions, there was no heavy city wall, and the palace had also demolished the palace wall and repaired it into a large residence and corresponding functional buildings.

If the former Western Chu royal family is resurrected, I am afraid that I will not be able to recognize that this will be the capital of their Chu State, Shenhuang City.

Many of the drawings and ideas are naturally from Xu Chuan's hands, as for how to communicate, as long as he is willing to spend luck, he can condense the incarnation of luck thousands of miles apart.

To put it simply, video calls are the same thing, and communication is naturally not a problem.

Outside the Divine Phoenix City, Xuanyuan Jingcheng and Cao Changqing greeted at the same time, and at this moment, Cao Changqing, who had not been too cold to Xu Chuan, had a rare amount of respect.

All this is naturally because of what Xu Chuan has done and the country he has established is completely different from all countries for hundreds of thousands of years.

It's incredible, it's too desirable.

Therefore, even if he didn't gather any troops at the moment, even if he knew that there were 600,000 soldiers and horses in Liyang in Zhulu Mountain, and even 300,000 troops in Beimang on the road, he still didn't have too much to worry about.

Through many exchanges and discussions, he has gradually understood what kind of country it will be.

If it was said that at the beginning, he was for Jiang Ni's sake, and he only wanted to help Jiang Ni, but after these days of understanding, he really wanted to participate in this thing that seemed a little incredible to him.

Xu Chuan said a brief hello to Wen Hua, Cao Changqing, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, Su Tan'er and others, and then asked Xuanyuan Jingcheng directly, "Sir, what's the situation?"

They walked towards the Divine Phoenix City together, and Xuanyuan Jingcheng slowly spoke: "Now that the Divine Phoenix City has gathered a million people, I have ordered a postponement in the future, in addition, the people of Chuzhou, Hezhou, Xiangzhou, Dengzhou, Shuzhou and other places have already done relevant work, and ninety percent support the establishment of the Qianguo."

"Ninety percent?" Xu Chuan nodded, he knew that most of the remaining tenths were those remnants of the family nobles, most of these states were the ruins of the previous dynasty, and Cao Changqing had cleaned up a large number of them before he came forward to restore the country, but there were still a few of them who survived.

As if he remembered something, he asked, "What about the land of the southern frontier? Is it the same there?"

Xuanyuan Jingcheng smiled and said, "Naturally, I went to the southern frontier a year ago and persuaded the local toasts that they really wanted to join us, and now there are several toasts here in this Divine Phoenix City."

Persuade? Xu Chuan glanced at Xuanyuan Jingcheng with a smile on his face, I'm afraid you are not very easy-going with this persuasion.

He smiled, unconcerned, and continued to ask, "How is the assessment of the corresponding officials planned?"

Xuanyuan Jingcheng said slowly: "Now there are more than 10 million students in various states

To meet the needs of the minimum number of officials, not less than one million, excluding the exclusion of high-level officials, to fully meet the needs of 300,000 middle- and low-level officials."

Xu Chuan nodded, there was not much surprise about this, the million population of the Divine Phoenix City alone cost thousands or even nearly 10,000 officials, and a city like the Divine Phoenix City or a little worse, there are nearly 100 places in these states, although there are only 120,000 people, but it also needs a thousand people.

After all, many of the institutions he will set up, such as the trial court, the inspection department, the tax department, the education department, the inspection department, the trade department, etc., will need a lot of people.

In this way, 300,000 is not much.

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, give me a copy of the list of major officials, by the way, how is the food and material reserves?"

As soon as he said this, Xuanyuan Jingcheng was a little moved, and he sighed: "Those crops you have cultivated and planted are really incredible, the yield is several times higher than usual, but in two years, the grain storage is now enough to maintain the needs of tens of millions of people, as for the rest of the materials, through the sale of a large number of assets through the Su Chamber of Commerce, there are countless materials from all over Liyang Beimang through various hidden channels into the territory, even if after the establishment of the country, the severance of diplomatic relations with Liyang Beimang will not affect the people's livelihood at all."

On the side, Cao Changqing also looked emotional.

The food problem, the biggest problem since ancient times, is so simple in Xu Chuan's hands.

Xu Chuan is still calm, he has learned about the living standards of human beings before the destruction through the artificial intelligence Fu Xi of the world for more than one year, the food problem has already been solved, and there are countless relevant materials, and even many materials have already been buried to the bottom and are not valued at all.

However, at that time, when recording these materials, he specifically singled out the part about food and wrote it down.

After all, the people take food as the sky, even in the high-flying Xianxia world, food is still the most basic problem for countless ordinary people.

In his opinion, these materials are more important than those weapons that destroy the world at every turn.

Although those crops were only popularized and planted two years ago, in fact, it took Su Tan'er a full five years to cultivate them based on the many materials he provided.

In fact, not only these crops, many things are handled by Su Tan'er for him, although he provides enough technical support, but Su Tan'er's role is also a key factor that cannot be ignored.

He turned his head to look at Su Tan'er, who was walking quietly not far away, Su Tan'er also seemed to feel something, turned his head sideways, and showed him a gentle smile.

A faint warmth appeared in his heart, he looked at the construction workers around him, and looked at the majestic luck that gradually gathered all over the sky, and his heart was settled.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

The day when luck completely gathers, it is time to change the world!
