"Enter the city!" Zuo Shiren was high-spirited as he led a vast army on horseback. In less than ten days, the last Cangzhou imperial capital had been conquered.
"Enter the city!"
"Roar!"
At this time, there were also the Southern Navy, Yu Wen and Ma Yi's Western Shu Army, more than a thousand elites from Gaotang Prefecture, and the coalition forces of many small forces, all roared.
It has been nearly seven months since the beginning of spring. Fortunately, the siege of Cangzhou has finally been completed.
"Brother Xu, you and I will enter the city together!" Zuo Shiren turned his head sideways, with uncontrollable ecstasy on his face. Just like in the beginning, Zuo Shiren's biggest long-cherished wish was to overthrow the false emperor and give himself a chance to look up to the world.
.
"It's a pity that the Demon Queen died, and the young emperor also died." Zuo Shiren sighed. According to his plan, if he kept the young emperor in his hands, there would be no more benefits.
"Alliance leader, Brother Xu, please enter the city quickly!" Zhao Di came behind on horseback with a smile on his face.
"Let's go together."
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the imperial capital ahead. The smoke and flames of war were slowly extinguishing. But this did not mean that the world would be peaceful and there would be no more wars.
After a short rest period at most, the competition among the heroes of the Central Plains will officially begin.
"Entering the city——"
…
Tread.
In front of the palace, Xu Mu, Zuo Shiren, and Zhao Di, all the princes and kings, stopped one after another. They looked at the Jinluan Palace in the palace complex, where the imperial meeting was held. Naturally, it was not as good as the one in Changyang, but no matter what, it was
It can be regarded as the last palace of the Yuan family.
Near the Jinluan Palace, there were many palace maids and eunuchs running for their lives. Those holding treasures were quickly taken down, tied up with ropes, and all thrown on the royal road.
"These nine dragon pillars are like wooden sticks. They are not comparable to those in Changyang City. This demon queen is very ambitious after all."
Zuo Shiren raised his head and spoke with great comfort.
"Come here, count the items in the palace and transport them to the warehouse. Waiting for the celebration banquet, this alliance leader will make the final decision and reward the three armies!"
"Lord, do you want to put the gilt chairs in the Jinluan Palace and the dragon chair in the warehouse?" At this time, a Dongling Pi general came next to him.
Xu Mu calmly turned his eyes.
"Put it in the warehouse of course, don't ask any more questions!" Zuo Shiren ordered with a frown. However, he glanced several times in the direction of the Jinluan Palace.
Xu Mu calmly turned his head.
"Brother Zhao, there are still a lot of gold and silver armors in the military library. You might as well go and take a look first." Zuo Shiren spoke again.
After hearing this, Zhao Di, after a lot of excuses, said goodbye again and again and walked in the direction of Arms Library with his bodyguards.
Xu Mu understood that one was to win over, and the other was that Zuo Shiren had something to say.
"Brother Xu, how about you and I taking a walk in the palace?"
"The invitation from the leader of the Zuo Alliance couldn't be better." Xu Mu smiled. It happened that he also wanted to help Yuan Song with his affairs, so he finally found an opportunity.
"Prince Ling, spare your life, King Shu, spare your life!" Dozens of tied eunuchs, of various ages, all spoke one after another when they saw Xu Mu and Zuo Shiren approaching.
"After handing back the treasure, I will let them go back to their hometown." Zuo Shiren said calmly, "Most of these eunuchs and palace ladies are poor people. When Yuan An built the palace and there were no eunuchs available, he used the method of giving food to pull them back.
Many people entered the palace. In this troubled time, the poor people are the common people."
Xu Mu only believed half of Zuo Shiren's sentiments, but on the surface, he still said it with a smile.
"Leader Zuo, he deserves the name of a benevolent king."
"Brother Xu, according to the previous agreement between you and me, if you capture Cangzhou, you will get a share of it. However, now the young emperor is also dead. Look, this -"
Previously, the agreement between Xishu and Dongling was that Zuo Shiren wanted the young emperor and one or two counties nearby Chuzhou. But now, looking at Zuo Shiren's intention, it was clear that he was unwilling to do so.
"Left leader, please don't forget that after capturing Cangzhou, the Allied forces will go north and continue to attack the two states of Laiyan." Xu Mu said calmly.
Zuo Shiren hesitated and did not answer.
In this attack on Cangzhou, Dongling suffered the greatest losses. He formed alliances twice before and after, and as the main attack, he also had to provide the allies with food and fodder, plus the battle losses during the siege... and then he continued to move north.
I found that my own power was struggling a bit.
"Cangzhou has just been captured. The army needs to rest and reorganize, and food and grass need to be prepared again. Brother Xu, how about some time?"
"Of course, I have always respected the advice of the leader of the Left Alliance. However, if we retreat this time, it will probably take a long time for me, Xi Shu, to recuperate and stabilize the people."
"Then these seven counties in Cangzhou——"
"According to the borders of their respective states, we have four counties in Xishu and three counties in Dongling. However, the area near the imperial capital, with Lidu Mountain as the boundary, can be allocated to the leader of the Zuo Alliance."
When he said these words, Xu Mu sighed. However, Lidu City near Lidu Mountain was in the east direction, which meant that Lidu City, a strong city, would also be assigned to Zuo Shiren.
"As for the Southern Navy and many forces, they mainly focus on rewards. There are still a lot of gold objects in the palace. In addition, I have a suggestion."
"Brother Xu, what's your suggestion?" Until now, Zuo Shiren was still very satisfied with Xu Mu's division.
"Leader Zuo, you can forge an imperial edict."
"The Young Emperor's decree?"
"No, it belongs to Yuan An." Xu Mu shook his head and continued, "Then he said that Yuan An had previously sent a blood edict, making Zhao Di of Nanhai the king of Nanhai, granting Jiuxi, and governor of all matters. The other kings also had their own affairs.
There will be a reward. In this way, the war achievements of the kings of the South China Sea will be considered."
Zuo Shiren thought for a while, "I'm afraid many people don't believe it."
"So what if you believe it, so what if you don't believe it." Xu Mu sighed, "Leader Zuo, you must not forget that there is no emperor in the thirty states in the Central Plains now. It is nothing more than a means."
Emperor Yuan Long of the Era died, and the false emperor Yuan Song was so frightened that he was demoted to the state king.
"Brother Xu, in this fake blood edict... can you and I also be sealed?"
"Naturally... as long as it does not exceed the rank of ninety-five, the leader of the Left Alliance can write whatever he likes. This is perhaps the greatest achievement of Yuan An, the foolish king."
Without the emperor, it is the old dynasty. The so-called blood edict is just a formality. When the new dynasty changes, these old things will no longer have any meaning.
"Brother Xu, there is one more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"Over in Kezhou, the Huang family has fallen into disarray, and now another family is in charge."
Xu Mu turned around and smiled, "Leader Zuo said before that he wanted to rest. Otherwise, we might as well attack Laiyan and Laizhou directly after defeating Kezhou."
In the future, it is very likely that Xishu and Dongling will evolve into rivals. Therefore, he does not want Zuo Shiren to occupy a strategic place like Kezhou.
"Just asking." Zuo Shiren smiled hoarsely.
"Brother Xu, after defeating Cangzhou, your army and mine need to take a good rest. I heard that outside of Dingzhou in Western Shu, the King of Yuzhou and your little wolf general also began to clear out the Rouran Army and the Hebei Army.
The army is here."
"Exactly. It shouldn't take long before I can kill my uncle and the old dog."
Regarding Taishuwang, Xu Mu had been holding back his anger in his heart. His Tiger of Dingzhou died in Taishuwang's betrayal.
"Take off the dog's head and sacrifice it to the soul of my Xishu soldiers."
