Alien Summoning System

Chapter 235 Serving the Emperor

The Jade Seal of Chuanguo is a symbol of imperial power, but in the final analysis, it is just a stone. Since ancient times, no dynasty has ever used the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to symbolize imperial power.

Of course, in terms of effect, if anyone has it now, there will be some. At least the imperial decree will be printed casually. It will be much more convenient to act on many things, but that thing is also a tool for attracting hatred. Becoming the target of public criticism and attacking in groups, under such circumstances, the benefits it brings are far less than the disadvantages, and Zhuo Ao is naturally clear about the reason for the crime.

The feudal lords met in Nanyang, and after a conversation on the scene, they began to discuss the issue of benefit distribution. The first thing to confirm was the issue of the leader, who has the power to order the heroes. Snakes can’t dance their heads, and birds can’t fly without their heads. To fight indiscriminately, there must be someone who gives orders in a unified way.

"My lords, since this alliance was initiated by Governor Zhuo, he should be the leader of the alliance." In the Nanyang big tent, Xue Feiyu represented his father Xue Yuhua to participate in the alliance this time. He originally belonged to the younger generation. He shouldn't have come to speak first, but the princes pushed each other, and no one was willing to be the first to stand up. If this continues, just choosing a leader can be pushed for several days. Naturally, Xue Feiyu didn't want to wait for such a long time. Xiang Zhuoao twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a light smile.

"Absurd, Zhuo Ao has only been a scholar for three years. Regardless of prestige or virtue, how can he be qualified to be the leader?" A general stood up and said in a rough voice.

"Presumptuous, what did you say?" Qilang's eyes turned cold, he took a step forward, and stared at the other party sharply.

"I'm telling the truth." The other party was frightened by the fierce look in Qilang's eyes, a little timid, and said sternly.

"Qilang back down." Zhuo Ao shook his head unhurriedly, motioned Qilang to back down, looked at the crowd and said, "Although this general is vulgar, what he said is not unreasonable, the position of the leader is of great importance, why not Can be so hasty, although this time the army was initiated by the emperor, but what Zhuo did was only dissatisfied with the monopoly of the demon concubine, treacherous and sycophantic, if you say the leader, as the general said, it has only been three years since he entered the officialdom proudly, regardless of talent or talent. Compared with you adults, the virtues are far behind, but Zhuo has a candidate, you may wish to listen to it."

"Wen Li, don't be presumptuous." The King of Shu waved his hand, shouted back at his subordinates, looked at Zhuo Ao and said, "Master Zhuo is too self-effacing. He treats martial arts well. This king admires Master Zhuo very much. As an official Three years, but it made the people under the rule live and work in peace and contentment, and all businesses prospered. However, as you said, the three years of being a scholar really lacked tempering. This king would like to know who is the virtuous person recommended by Master Zhuo. "

All the princes in the tent also looked at Zhuo Ao with some expectations. After all, as the initiator, and although Zhuo Ao's time in the officialdom was short, he also had his own network of people. If he can be recommended by him, he will become The possibility of the leader has been greatly improved.

"The king of Wei has a high moral character and is a veteran of the three dynasties. His disciples and old officials are all over the world, and he even sits in the land of Hebei. No matter his virtue or reputation, he is the leader of the dynasty. I don't think your lords will object. " Zhuo Ao smiled and said unhurriedly.

"Master Zhuo is right. King Wei is indeed more suitable to be the leader of the alliance." Hearing this, many people showed disappointment on their faces, but King Wei is not only one of the two princes with the largest territory today, but also like Zhuo Ao said that he is the elder of the three dynasties, with outstanding prestige, and he will be the leader of the alliance. Although he didn't say what everyone expects, no one can say anything more.

A group of princes bowed their hands to King Wei one after another, and elected King Wei. King Wei was already a handsome old man, older than Fu Tianchou. Hearing the compliments from the crowd at this moment, he declined a few words with a smile and then amidst the congratulations of the crowd , took the position of leader.

The king of Shu looked ashen, and cast a cold glance at Zhuo Ao.

The leader of the alliance has been established, and the next step is to discuss how to attack. Although the imperial court is falling apart, in terms of power, the imperial court occupies 23 mansions from Luoyang to Chang'an, with 20 soldiers and horses, which is still the largest in the world.

The king of Wei is the elder of the three dynasties, but he has some abilities. Now he has two deputy leaders, the king of Shu and Zhuo Ao. He also knows that the princes are not on the same page, and it is not appropriate to delay. Eighteen prefectures attacked Chang'an, and Zhuo Ao led the twelve prefectures in the Huainan area of ​​Jiangdong to attack Xingyang, while the king of Wei dispatched the remaining nineteen prefectures, Luoyang.

The imperial court is very strong, no matter whether it is soldiers, horses or food, it is above the princes, but a tiger can't stand a pack of wolves, even if the princes are passive and slack in fighting, after a long time, they can drag down the soldiers and horses of the imperial court's 23 prefectures.

Next, a war lasted for a whole year. After a year of scrambling among the 23 palaces of the imperial court, only the nine palaces remained, less than half of what they were before the war.

The princes did not get much benefit in this war. Although they won the land of the Fourteen Houses, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, as the court became weaker, the contradictions among the princes gradually became prominent. , seven princes died under the conspiracy of their allies, and the land of the eight prefectures was vacated, including Zhuo Ao's two neighbors, and Zhuo Ao's soldiers were spared. Occupy Jiangdong.

"It's almost there." Zhuo Ao looked in the direction of Luoyang in the Xingyang camp, his dragon energy had exhausted to the extreme, he turned to look at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, the concubine Yao is about to run away, you go to Luoyang and give me the little emperor Bringing it back, it’s best to bring the little emperor back without anyone noticing, remember, the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom cannot be touched, even if it is on the little emperor, it must be kept.”

"Yes." Zhao Yun left after hearing this without asking any further questions.

That night, in the Luoyang Palace, Ningxiang discussed with a group of ministers and decided to move the capital to Luoyang and use Hangu Pass and Wuguan to defend against the heroes. She was about to take the emperor away overnight, but she was horrified to find that the little emperor disappeared without knowing when. up.

The allied forces of the feudal lords pressed on, Hulao Pass and Mengjin fell one after another. Seeing that the allied forces were about to approach the city, Ningxiang had no choice but to flee to Chang'an with a group of ministers. King Wei took the opportunity to occupy Luoyang, and Zhuo Ao also took this opportunity, Convincing Xingyang's [-] defenders to surrender, he did not stay in Xingyang, but asked Xu Da to return to Jiangning with the army. Zhuo Ao only left a cavalry as his personal guard to attend the celebration banquet.

After this battle, many princes were lost, but no one would care about those who died. What really makes everyone happy is the vested interests. Once Luoyang is lost, the only territory that the imperial court can control now is the land of the Six Houses , and also lost the emperor, plus the loss of the territory vacated by the princes, the coalition forces won a total of 29 provinces.

However, how to distribute the benefits, apart from the problem at this time, the princes even fought fiercely at the celebration banquet. The princes who had already occupied the state capital were unwilling to give up the land they had occupied, while the princes who had not obtained the land were not reconciled. The next day, The prefect of Yunzhou led an army to break into the territory of the prefect of Jiangzhou and beheaded the prefect of Jiangzhou who was caught off guard.

As if it was a fuse, the princes began to attack each other in Luoyang. Seeing that the situation was out of control, the King of Shu angrily led his troops back to Shuzhong. Taking the opportunity to bid farewell to King Wei, he led his troops back to Jiangning.

After an annexation rush, the mighty alliance of princes declared disintegration. When King Wei took the remaining princes to attack Chang'an, he discovered that although the jade seal was still there, the emperor had lost it.

At the same time, Zhuo Ao returned to Jiangning, built a new imperial palace, and a message spread throughout the world.

The demon concubine harmed the country, kept the jade seal privately, caused cholera in the world, and disregarded the country and the country. Her crime should be punished, and everyone in the world should be punished. Now she has no choice but to move the capital to Jiangning, order the princes to crusade against the demon queen, and take back the jade seal. Ao has contributed a lot to saving me in times of crisis. Today, he is named the Grand Marshal of the World's Army and Horses, commanding the world's soldiers and horses, and commanding the three armies.

In the city of Chang'an, the King of Wei looked at the Jade Seal in his hand, and then looked at the proclamation against thieves. Suddenly, he felt a little bitter. Everyone was tricked. Although this proclamation was issued in the name of the emperor, everyone knew , this proclamation was written by Zhuo Ao, at this moment all the princes realized that without the Chuanguo Yuxi, the emperor would still be the emperor, but the sky had changed.

The imperial court is located in Jiangning, so Zhuo Ao has the final say in the future?
Jiangxia, Jingxiang and other Nine Mansions refused to accept Zhuo Ao's rule, and planned to join forces to attack and take back the emperor, but Xu Da, who had been preparing for the battle for a long time, went up against the river, defeated the Nine Routes Allied Forces, took advantage of the situation and conquered the land of the Nine Mansions. Become the prince with the largest territory under King Wei.

In the Battle of Luoyang, Zhuo Ao's [-] troops barely injured a single soldier, but they captured [-] people in Xingyang, plus some stragglers from the princes who were captured later. When they came, they had [-] new recruits, but when they returned to Jiangning, they were all defeated. One hundred thousand lions won the land of the two prefectures, and after that, they defeated the allied forces of the nine prefectures. After this battle, Zhuo Ao's territory doubled, and his army doubled. He became one of the strongest princes in the world, and even controlled the emperor. He jumped to become a prince on a par with the King of Wei and the King of Shu, and even when it comes to the territory and army, he is now above the King of Shu.

Xuzhou, Xue Mansion, a grand alliance of princes, finally came to an end in such a jaw-dropping situation. In the study, Xue Feiyu looked at the information in his hand, and smiled helplessly: "I thought that the mortal world, if we take action, it would be easy to get!" That's right, I didn't expect such a situation to appear, I really can't be careless at all."

"Tianjun, what should we do next? Shall we launch another alliance of princes to attack Zhuo Ao?" In front of Xue Feiyu, a burly man frowned.

"Why?" Xue Feiyu sneered, shaking his head and asked.

"Why?" The burly man was stunned, looked at Xue Feiyu and said, "You are the Heavenly Monarch of the Fire Department of the Heavenly Court, and you are in charge of the world's fire sources..."

"Who knows?" Rolling his eyes, Xue Feiyu was a little helpless for his fierce general: "This is the mortal world, even if I reveal my identity, then Zhuo Ao will definitely give himself a bigger name, unless We dare to really mobilize the power of the fire source, but do you dare?"

"This..." The burly man kept silent. Immortals, especially those in the immortal class, are not allowed to use their functions to mobilize the five elements without authorization. This is a heavenly rule, even the Jade Emperor has to abide by it, let alone him.

"Besides, after this battle, the princes have already completely torn their faces, and it is impossible to convene again." Shaking his head, Xue Feiyu sighed: "We must speed up our pace and occupy the six prefectures of Shandong as soon as possible. The capital to compete with other three-way princes, other identities, etc., are all false."

"Yes."
