On the sixth day, Chu Qingyan and Chu Junyan had already left unconsciously.

In the past few days, Ma Chao and Zhong Liyi each led a large army to sweep through the counties of Zhongrongfu, and the counties surrendered one by one with the departure of the Wang family.

And Li Yuan, who was still in Red Eagle City, received Wu Yao's letter of surrender.

At home, Li Yuan frowned lightly when he saw the content of the letter, revealing a look of embarrassment.

"Wenhe, the king of Linghong Mansion and Lingcang Mansion want it, but these people in Zhongyi Hall don't want to accept it, what should I do?"

When Jia Xu heard Li Yuan's words, he shook his feather fan lightly and smiled very kindly:

"Your Highness, Zhongrong Mansion is already under control, we can divide most of our troops into Linghong Mansion, as for the remaining Zhongyi Hall people to join Your Highness, it is a recognition of Your Highness, and we can publicize it.

As for Wu Yao and Chen Feihai, the two banner masters and some helmsmen, it is better to wait for us to arrive at Linghong Mansion, after all, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, in case they are suddenly killed by the enemy the night before we arrive at Linghong Mansion. ”

Li Yuan nodded slowly, looked at Zhao Gao in the corner a little unconfidently, and asked:

"Zhao Gao, do you think which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident?"

"The minister thinks the accident came first." In the corner, Zhao Gao said respectfully.

"Deeply lonely!"

At this time, a guard outside the door reported:

"Your Highness, someone is asking to see you!"

"Oh?"

"Can you report your identity?"

Li Yuan and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and a trace of doubt flashed, who would look for him at this time?

"Tell Your Highness, they said they were from Huanzhou."

"Huanzhou?"

"Invite them in."

Zhao in the corner lowered his head, and the dark red figure slowly disappeared.

Soon, the group stepped into the lobby.

At first glance, Li Yuan focused his attention on the woman in red, with slender and powerful long legs, a slender and undulating posture, like a continuous landscape, a few strands of hair floating to the pinna, a stunning face, clear eyebrows but faintly revealing a heroic spirit.

I saw that the woman's movements were capable and sharp, and she clasped her fists and saluted Li Yuan on the main seat:

"Xu Fengwu meets the King of Chu!"

Li Yuan's heart moved, but his face remained unchanged, his tone was very calm, and he even had a smile:

"Miss Xu of the Black Jiao Gang, I don't know what is the so-called visit today?"

Jia Xu's eyes flashed, then he lowered his eyebrows and sat quietly.

Xu Fengwu smiled and said softly:

"I heard that the king of Chu is heroic and magnificent, but he has not yet established a concubine, so he has come to ask for a kiss!"

"Kissing!"

Not only Li Yuan and Jia Xu, but even everyone behind Xu Fengwu also showed shock.

"I don't know who Miss Xu is asking for?"

"It's the little girl!"

The two asked and answered, and suddenly the lobby fell silent.

This made Li Yuan a little confused, was he proposed by someone else?

It is said that now the Black Jiao Gang is joining forces with other forces to deal with King Ming, and it is reasonable that they are all enemies.

But the Black Jiao Gang suddenly married to the royal family, which is a bit subtle.

Xu Fengwu's face remained unchanged, and she still looked at Li Yuan with a faint smile, as if the person who asked for marriage was not her.

And as Li Yuan's unmarried princess, she has just left.

"Your Highness, Lord Xun asks to see you!"

The silence in the lobby was broken, Li Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xu Fengwu:

"Miss Xu, this king still has important things to deal with, so it's better to talk about it another day."

"The king of Chu has a lot of opportunities, it was the little woman who disturbed her, but the little woman has just entered the Red Eagle City and has no place to stay, so I implore His Highness to help find a place to live."

"It's nature."

Li Yuan asked the guards to take them down to find a place to live.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Fengwu didn't delay a bit, and brought everyone to leave with the guards.

As soon as Xu Fengwu walked out of the gate, he saw Xun Yu walking in.

Xu Fengwu met Xun Yu's scrutinizing eyes, smiled calmly, and nodded slightly at him.

Li Yuan looked at Xu Fengwu's departing figure and nodded slightly to Xun Yu who walked in.

"Interesting, isn't Xu Fengwu afraid that the Black Jiao Gang will be retaliated against by the Huanzhou Alliance and the Fengzhou Alliance?"

"Xu Fengwu? Miss Black Jiao Gang? ”

Xun Yu suddenly knew the identity of the woman just now, looked at Jia Xu and asked:

"The Black Jiao Gang wants to cooperate with us?"

"It's not a cooperation, it's a marriage!" Jia Xu laughed.

"Marriage? Miss Xu and Her Highness? Xun Yu flashed a fine light, and then nodded slowly:

"Interesting."

"It seems that there is a problem in the Huanzhou Alliance that we don't know about."

The two strategists asked and answered, and then looked at Li Yuan.

At this moment, Zhao Gao in the corner was also revealed, with a cold look in his eyes:

"Your Highness, just now the people from the Zhongyi Hall came to the news that the Black Jiao Gang has contacted Wu Yao, and Wu Yao's second way is to join the Black Jiao Gang."

"Did the Black Jiao Gang find Wu Yao?"

Jia Xu's eyes moved, "Then will other forces also be inserted into Lingzhou?" ”

Xun Yu nodded slowly: "Ximen family!" ”

"These forces want to take Lingzhou and surround Yizhou."

"Because there were many forces in Lingzhou before, they were not easy to insert, and they were afraid of being jointly targeted, but now there are only our Chu Wangfu and the Ximen family in Lingzhou who have suffered heavy losses, and it is the best time for them to invade."

At this moment, Zhao Gao frowned and said, "The day before yesterday, Luo Wang followed the traces of the departure of the Ximen family, but after they stepped into Huanzhou, their whereabouts disappeared. ”

Li Yuan showed a sense of urgency, and it would take time to control Lingzhou.

"It seems that Xu Fengwu should know a lot of news."

Jia Xu and Xun Yu glanced at each other, and Xun Yu saluted respectfully:

"Your Highness, if the Black Jiao Gang can unite with us, it can not only reduce the pressure on King Ming, but also help us block the invasion of Huanzhou's forces, and also attack Huanzhou in the future."

"But is this the meaning of the Black Jiao Gang, or is it Xu Fengwu's personal meaning?"

Li Yuan just noticed the surprised eyes of the Black Jiao Gang behind Xu Fengwu.

………………

In a large courtyard not far from the Chu Mansion, the strong men under Xu Fengwu guarded the surroundings, and the female venerable was frowning and asked Xu Fengwu.

"Miss, if you make such an arbitrary decision, the helper will be angry."

This female Venerable is more than a hundred years old, middle-aged and has taken care of Xu Fengwu since she was a child.

"Aunt Shan, where do you think the future of the Black Jiao Gang is?"

"That guy shouldn't make a decision on his own, if the alliance forces find out, our Black Jiao Gang will cause public anger, especially the Zhou family."

"Hehe, Zhou family, my stupid younger brother really wants me to marry Zhou Yan and weaken my prestige in the Black Jiao Gang step by step."

Zhou Yan, the young master of the Zhou family, a top family in Huanzhou.

Xu Mad, the leader of the Black Jiao Gang, has three daughters and seven sons, Xu Fengwu has not lost to men since he was a child, is resourceful, and does things resolutely, and has the highest prestige in the Black Jiao Gang among all the children of Xu Mad.

Aunt Shan knew that Xu Fengwu had her own strategic ideas, but she still couldn't help but say:

"I know you don't like Zhou Yan, but you can't find people from the royal family, King Chu is our opponent."

"Opponents?"

"Which force is not our potential opponent in these troubled times." Xu Fengwu chuckled, not caring.

"But the royal family is our common enemy, and only by overthrowing the royal family can we establish ourselves as kings and control our own territory."

Aunt Shan continued to persuade, obviously disagreeing with Xu Fengwu's decision.

"Overthrow the royal family, can you?"

Xu Fengwu's calm eyes flashed with coldness:

"At the beginning, the plans of the various forces have been cracked by Emperor Yu, and now Emperor Yu is dead, but the four targets he set are still there, do you see which state has defeated the four kings now?

Each faction wants to preserve its strength and let the other forces rush to the front, and now, the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it is to the four kings. ”

Thinking of this, Xu Fengwu's inner thoughts became more and more firm, if the various forces had no reservations at the beginning and sent all their strength to destroy the four kings, they would not be able to directly solve the four kings, but they could also comprehensively suppress the four kings and eliminate one or two.

But they knew that this method was the fastest and most direct, but they couldn't work together, and they all wanted to save their strength and stay in the final battle for hegemony.

As a result, now the four kings have not been destroyed, the town and the country have not yet come out, and the imperial court has pacified the neighboring state capitals of Tianzhou, and the combined strength of the various forces is indeed stronger than the royal family, but can they work together?

"Miss, you should know better than me, now is the stage of testing each other, the big battle will be stronger and stronger, the four kings have been locked up, our rear forces are constantly increasing, sooner or later the four kings will be solved."

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

Xu Fengwu's expression was indifferent, "In my father's eyes, I will marry sooner or later, even if I overthrow the royal family and the lord of all forces establishes himself as the king, I will not be a concubine in the future!" ”

"Then why don't I go directly to King Chu and become his concubine!"

"Then why are you looking for the King of Chu?" Aunt Shan was even more puzzled, don't look at King Chu now defeated Chu Junyan, but his strength is far inferior to the other three kings.

However, with only four Venerable Beings, it is not enough to defend one state, so let alone attack other states.

If you want to find it, it's better to find the Ming King!

If King Ming marries the Black Jiao Gang, at least the Zhou family can be expelled.

Xu Fengwu's eyes flashed, full of heroism:

"The other three kings all have the support of the forces behind them, and their concubines already have them, should I still be a side concubine?

Among the four kings, only the King of Chu has no support, and Chu Qingyan has left, it is destined to be impossible, he is my best choice! ”

"What about the gang leader?"

Aunt Shan now knows that Xu Fengwu has made up her mind, and she will not change, her eyes show anxiety, if they are discovered by the alliance, what if they solve the Black Jiao Gang first?

Xu Fengwu raised the jade cup lightly, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly:

"Actually, my father allowed me to go to Lingzhou, I have already guessed and acquiesced, as long as I give him an acceptable condition and a way to break away from the alliance."

Aunt Shan's spirit was shocked and asked:

"So how do we break away from the alliance without being counterattacked by them?"

"This needs to be asked by the King of Chu."

Xu Fengwu's delicate face showed a beautiful smile.

………………

With the departure of Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan, the biggest influence was King Xuan.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, you have a problem for the imperial brother."

In a large city in Danzhou, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and a faint smell of blood wafted in the air, obviously having just experienced a big war.

Knowing that Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan had left Lingzhou with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, King Xuan showed a helpless smile.

But he wasn't angry, because if he was in Li Yuan's position, he would also let them go to save their vitality.

It will take at least two months for Chu Junyan to rush back to Zhaozhou from Lingzhou, and two months is enough to change a lot of things, and he still has time to prepare.

"Xingyu, when do you think the fifth child will join forces with the second child?"

Behind King Xuan, two people followed him in the corridor.

One of the literati folded the fan lightly and responded:

"According to the current strength of the King of Chu, even if there is no interference from other forces, it will take at least a year to control Lingzhou, and only after stabilizing Lingzhou can he send troops."

"One year ......"

King Xuan shook his head slowly, too slowly.

"I don't know how many people my father left for the fifth child?"

King Xuan obviously also suspected that Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Zhong Liyi and others were left to Li Yuan by Emperor Yu.

The information and intelligence of the generals and strategists under Li Yuan's command are all placed in front of various forces, and they are analyzed.

The strategist and the literati are okay to say.

But generals like Zhong Liwu and Ma Chao in the Tianwu Realm need to be trained to grow, and they have the ability to command troops as soon as they appear.

Lu Xingyu lowered his head and was silent, just listen to this kind of words, who dares to talk nonsense about the affairs of the emperor, I don't know if the king of Chu can go to the end, and it is not too late to discuss it when he becomes an opponent.

And King Xuan is not envious, there are many generals under his command, he is just lamenting Emperor Yu's methods.

"Your Highness, Chu Junyan is about to return, the Danzhou Alliance seems to be in contact with the Zhenguo Mansion more frequently, after Chu Junyan returns, the Zhenguo Mansion is likely to send troops."

The speaker is another strategist, named Yan Hong, who is of medium size and ordinary appearance, but has a special temperament.

King Xuan's eyebrows showed solemnity, the mountain of Zhenguo Mansion had been pressing on his heart, and he couldn't tolerate any sloppiness.

"If Chu Junyan returns, where do you think the Zhenguo Mansion will start?"

"Qingzhou!" Lu Xingyu said firmly.

Yan Hong on the other side also affirmed: "When Chu Junyan travels to Qingzhou, it is likely that he will enter Qingzhou with the Zhenguo Mansion on both sides!" ”

The twelve states of the Yu Dynasty, Zhongzhou is located in the center, adjacent to five states.

They are Lianzhou in the east, Fengzhou in the south, Yangzhou in the north, Yanzhou in the northwest, and Qingzhou in the southwest.

Beyond Qingzhou is Danzhou.

Zhaozhou is located between Qingzhou, Danzhou and Yanzhou.

Because Zhaozhou has a town and a state government, the big forces in Yanzhou did not dare to cross into Zhaozhou and come to Danzhou to deal with King Xuan.

Now Qingzhou, which has taken refuge in King Xuan, is fully dragging down the attack of Yanzhou's forces.

Qingzhou is empty inside, and if the Zhenguo Mansion sends troops to jointly attack Chu Junyan, Qingzhou will be in danger.

If the Zhenguo Mansion takes Qingzhou, Danzhou will be surrounded by the Zhenguo Mansion.

King Xuan frowned, it was indeed a problem.

"Since the Zhenguo Mansion has not taken the bait during this time, it is time for us to sweep away these thieves in Danzhou!"

Lu Xingyu and Yan Hong glanced at each other and nodded.

"Now the He family and the Yuehai Pavilion of the Danzhou Alliance have secretly taken refuge in us, as long as we want to, we can win or lose in a battle."

There are a total of five major forces in Danzhou, and the weakest of these five forces, Yuehai Pavilion, is comparable to the Ximen family.

King Xuan was not happy when he heard Lu Xingyu's words, "But how should the Zhenguo Mansion beware, if the Zhenguo Mansion army suddenly appears in a big battle, the consequences will be very serious." ”

Lu Xingyu also frowned, which was why they had not settled the Danzhou Alliance for a long time.

And Yan Hong had thought about this question for a long time, so he said quite confidently:

"Your Highness, it's time for us to cooperate with King Yu."

On the other side of Yanzhou is Yangzhou, and on the other side of Yangzhou is Liangzhou, where King Yu is located.

Half of the forces in Yangzhou support King Yu.
