Starting from July of the first year of Taiping, several amazing news spread throughout the Great Zhou in a short period of time.

The first one is that Cao An, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, issued a manifesto to the emperor to punish the rebellious ministers.

Using this incident as the fuse, the entire Yuzhou was quickly ignited.

First, Huang Chao emerged in Yuzhou, and various villains of the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce emerged.

The situation already felt like the world was in chaos.

But soon, things changed again.

As the first to emerge, Huang Chao took action to massacre millions of people in Yuzhou.

His crazy move came out, and the rebel forces of the Bailian Chamber of Commerce, who were originally very active and wanted to emerge, suddenly subsided a lot, and Cao An, who worked with him, broke up with him directly.

What followed was that Cao An joined forces with Emperor Song Zhao Kuangyin to wipe out Huang Chao in a short period of time.

Then Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of Song accepted the title of King of the Great Zhou and handed over the already decaying Yuzhou to Cao An. He took his military generals and civil officials and a small part of Yuzhou's property and set off directly to Liangzhou to take over his fiefdom.

This series of events made the entire Zhou Dynasty a little dumbfounded.

However, the matter did not stop there. Cao An took over Yuzhou. While many of his neighbors were ready to move, another news came out from Luoyang.

The Emperor of Great Zhou officially enthroned the adopted son of King Fugui, Yuan Kangping, Liu Chengwang of King Kang, and was granted the fief of Qingzhou!

This news came out, which shocked the whole country.

The main reason is that the identity of the person who was enthroned this time and the location of his fief are too sensitive.

Kang Ping Hou Liu Cheng, Wang Fugui's adopted son and nephew.

It has to be said that although Wang Fugui is dead, he still has a high prestige in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Liu Cheng is not just Wang Fugui's adopted son. Ordinary people may not know who Liu Cheng is, but those with certain strength basically know that Liu Cheng is now the veritable maritime overlord of the Great Zhou.

With his identity and strength, coupled with the current environment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not uncomprehensible that Liu Cheng has been granted the title of king. However, the fief given to Liu Cheng is obviously sinister.

Many martial soul forces believe that this should be the smoke bomb released by Cao An.

In order to raise Liu Cheng as a flag to attract attention, he can use this period of time to cultivate and nourish his life.

Cao An didn't need Liu Cheng to agree clearly. As long as Liu Cheng didn't refute, the martial soul forces along the coast would have to set a lot of attention to Liu Cheng.

Although they guessed that Liu Cheng would not be a gun envoy for Cao An, no one could guarantee that Liu Chengzhen would not take action.

However, what made all the martial soul forces even more shocked was that almost after the Great Zhou Dynasty sent the message, Liu Cheng immediately responded clearly.

Liu Cheng not only clearly stated that he had accepted the enthronement of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also directly called out to Qingzhou to ask them to evacuate Qingzhou within half a month, otherwise he would have to take back his fiefdom by force.

When Liu Cheng said this, the military system of the entire territory began to operate, and he directly expressed his determination to take back Qingzhou.

I have to say that Liu Cheng is really quite a good idea.

With his cooperation, the entire Zhou Dynasty's attention has been basically attracted by Liu Cheng, and Cao An's pressure has suddenly become much smaller.

Of course, Liu Cheng's actions will inevitably attract the eyes that should have been on Cao An.

At this time, all forces also responded differently.

…………

Here in Qingzhou.

Speaking of which, the Yellow Turbans have been recuperating after Wang Fugui's death, and there has been no major conflict in the past six months.

However, in the past six months, although there have been fewer wars on the Yellow Turban side, there have been a lot more troops.

Half a year ago, when Wang Fugui died in battle, the remaining troops of the Yellow Turbans were only about 400,000 to 500,000. Now, half a year has passed, the number of the Yellow Turbans has soared to 700,000.

Moreover, the quality of the Yellow Turban Army has also improved greatly compared to more than half a year ago. Not only does it have a large number of backbone soldiers, but it even has about a hundred warships and several top legions.

In addition, over the past six months, outstanding generals have emerged continuously.

The Qingzhou side that entered was more than twice as powerful as half a year in terms of military strength. Even among the coastal martial soul forces, they are still very outstanding.

With such powerful force in hand, it is naturally impossible for them to coward Liu Cheng.

After Liu Cheng made it clear that he would reclaim Qingzhou by force, the Yellow Turbans moved directly.

The army mobilized a large number of troops, concentrated their elite troops in the coastal areas to wait for Liu Cheng's arrival.

Of course, Liu Cheng was the least concerned about Qingzhou's reaction. After all, when it comes to control of the Qingzhou army, no one can compare to Liu Cheng.

Now that he really wants to take Qingzhou, it’s just a matter of stretching out his hand.

Perhaps for Liu Cheng, the biggest difficulty lies in how to act well, making people believe that he took Qingzhou by strength and nothing else.

But this is not a big deal. Some of Liu Cheng's subordinates can think about it for him.

Liu Cheng’s biggest focus at this time was on two aspects, one was Hua Qingwu’s tracking, or Ji Ruxue’s location.

This matter was not much progress originally, and Hua Qingwu had a deep understanding of Liu Cheng.

Although she escaped from the boat before, she was always a little suspicious, so she kept going around and never returned to Ji Ruxue.

However, this time after Liu Cheng made it clear that he would accept the title of King of the Great Zhou and take over Qingzhou, Hua Qingwu was obviously a little anxious.

I believe that Liu Cheng will gain something in a while. Liu Cheng has a premonition that the days he will not be too short when he meets Ji Ruxue.

In addition to Hua Qingwu and Ji Ruxue's side, the other one is the use of martial souls.

This time, Liu Cheng came back and opened the treasure chest he got from killing Huang Chao and used it with his martial soul.

In Huang Chao's treasure chest, Liu Cheng did not open any good things, so he opened 10 million yuan, which is better than nothing for Liu Cheng now.

However, Huang Chao's martial soul is different. Song Jiang's incomplete martial soul is not counted. Huang Chao is the only martial soul leader in Liu Cheng's hands.

The use of this kind of martial soul is much more troublesome than that of ordinary martial souls.

It is not possible to succeed by just finding one person. The inheritance of every leader of the martial soul power requires a special test.

The test of Huang Chao's martial soul inheritance is quite bloody. If you want to inherit Huang Chao's martial soul, you must kill more than a thousand people with your own hands, and there are certain requirements for talent and command.
