In the Heavens

After the birth of the son emperor, everyone knew that the royal family had compromised. The world boiled, and Da Zhou's prestige declined again.

The princes, warlords, and wealthy families are all celebrating. As long as the royal family is willing to compromise, the Great Zhou can last forever.

A nominal Zhou Tianzi can still be tolerated by everyone. For all parties, this is the best choice at the moment. Only a few big forces are worried.

It was just a trial, and the royal family chose to compromise, which was completely different from the Great Zhou royal family they knew.

The calmer the expression, the more it shows that the royal family is brewing a big move. The power of the Great Zhou royal family must not be underestimated with the foundation accumulated over thousands of years.

Once it breaks out, no force can hold it back. What's more, apart from the royal family itself, there are also a group of forces loyal to the Great Zhou.

Tens of thousands of years, they have too much time for layout. No one knows how much of their power is hidden in the world.

I don't know what information I got from Suizhou Li, anyway, Dingyuanhou has already started to arrange the funeral.

Looking at the secret letter in his hand, Li Mu didn't know how to reply. The troubled times have just begun, and the big family's split betting model has already begun.

No one can tell how strong the backlash of luck for the demise of the Great Zhou was before it happened.

As the nobleman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Marquis Dingyuan was ready to die for his country. It is not only to meet the backlash of the national destiny, but also to explain the relationship between the monarch and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The head of the family can die, but the family cannot die. The eldest brother has been recalled from Beijing, and most of the officials in the court have also submitted their resignations one after another.

The attitude of the Hou Mansion is already very obvious, that is, they are not optimistic that Da Zhou can survive this catastrophe, and start preparations in advance to minimize their losses as much as possible.

Now the cheap father, the only requirement for Li Mu is not to take the lead in rebelling against the Zhou Dynasty, even if he wants to compete in the world, he has to wait for the Great Zhou to perish.

Of course, persuasion and caution are indispensable between the lines, and don't be the first bird. It also attached the information of the major forces collected by the Hou Mansion.

Li Mu once wanted to persuade him to give up his title and come to Liangzhou. Other places may be afraid of bad luck, but on this mother river in Liangzhou, there are still ways to avoid disaster.

It's a pity that this can only be thought about, and the patriarch is not easy to be. In addition to power, there are also responsibilities and obligations to bear.

Although the territory occupied in Liangzhou is large, it cannot sustain Dingyuan's operation for a long time. Not everyone can make such a decision to abandon their old nest and fight for Liangzhou with all their strength.

In troubled times, the only way to reduce risk is to spread your bets.

In the following months, Li Mu successively eliminated several fallen gods, but unfortunately, the authority of heaven and earth collected was far less than before.

Obviously, gods also have ranks. Not all gods can hold supreme authority, and not all mountains and rivers are qualified to give birth to gods.

As long as there is something to gain, it is not easy to pick up the leaks in the hands of the mighty.

According to the script, it should be the degenerate gods, constantly devouring the innate gods to strengthen themselves, and finally being shot by the Almighty to subdue the demons and pick peaches.

Now that the fruit was picked by Li Mu before it was ripe, the taste was naturally not much better.

Realizing this, Li Mu was no longer in a hurry to attack the fallen gods. After the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole, it is still unknown who will win in the end.

The peaceful years are short-lived after all. The battle for hegemony in Liangzhou has entered a new stage. The state shepherd, who originally occupied the righteousness, was the first to be kicked out of the game.

Now that we have entered the era of the tripartite confrontation, it is a pity that Li Mu has become the weakest Shu Han. What's even more tragic is that he couldn't play Lian Wu Kang Wei, and they had already joined forces to kill him.

The reason for the combination of the two companies is very simple - fear.

Not only is he afraid of Dingyuanhou's mansion, but also the Li family of Suizhou. Liangzhou's two tyrants suspected that Li Mu was a secret agent arranged by the Li family in Suizhou in the south, so they naturally had to kick them out in advance for their own safety.

Looking at the map of Liangzhou, the six counties of Hanchuan, Xicheng, Fangling, Qinghua, Tongchuan, and Dangqu in the southwest are now in the hands of Li Mu. The power is entrenched.

The remaining 20 counties including Hanyang, Lintao, Dangchang, Wudu, Tongchang, and Hechi are all in the hands of the two major family alliances, and the power contrast between the two sides is obvious.

Whether it's territory, population, economy, or the number of troops, Li Mu is at a disadvantage.

The only advantage lies in the combat effectiveness of the army. Compared with the two great families in Liangzhou, Li Mu's biggest advantage lies in his background as a general.

The children of the clan are all from the army, their military literacy is obviously higher than that, and there is an army that has been trained for several years.

In contrast, most of the armies of the two aristocratic families were recruited or temporarily recruited, and the number of elite private troops was very small.

In the previous hegemony war with Liangzhou Mu, they were all suppressed and beaten. There is only the power to parry, not the power to fight back.

If it hadn't been for a long time in Liangzhou, waiting for the opportunity to attack and kill Zhao Tianyun in the city, it is still unknown who will win this war.

Li Mu is not afraid of beheading. If the enemy is willing to come to his door, he will only wish for it.

As long as you are not a master at the Yuanshen level, you will always deliver food when you arrive on your own site. With the authority of heaven and earth, there is no pressure to bully warriors of the same level.

Li Mu was still contemplating, but the female military adviser on the side had already said, "Husband, there is no need to worry too much. The strength of the two great families in Liangzhou is not very strong, and they can barely be regarded as second-rate in the world.

This time the attack was fierce, it was because they had just defeated Zhaozhou Mu, and now they were in full swing, wanting to unify Liangzhou in one go.

But they also have a fatal problem. An alliance is always just an alliance, and cooperation cannot be truly intimate.

The strength of the two major families is equal, and if the issue of who is the master and who is the slave is not resolved, the alliance will not be able to truly stabilize.

In addition, they also have a large number of vassal families to follow. These people have their own little calculations, and it is impossible to completely agree with them.

There are many soldiers and generals, and that is only data on paper. The temporarily incorporated soldiers and horses of the imperial court obviously did not return to their hearts so soon.

We can take advantage of these weaknesses. As long as we wait for the opportunity to win a few small battles, problems will arise within the alliance.

What's more, it's not that we don't have allies. The small forces in Liangzhou are certainly not worth mentioning, but the remaining forces of the Great Zhou can be used.

Taking the lead in such a hurry and killing the state shepherd appointed by the imperial court is also a big failure of the two aristocratic families.

Repelling the enemy is not difficult, the key is how to seize Liangzhou after defeating them. "

Li Mu had already thought about other issues, but only relying on the "imperial power of the court" was not within the scope of his consideration.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't straightened out my identity yet. Now he is not a traitor, but a Liangzhou Jiedu envoy who maintains the Great Zhou State.

Although it seems a bit domineering to encroach on the authority of county officials, who caused the court to fall into chaos and has not yet sent officials to take up the post?

Compared with the two great families who killed the state shepherd without authorization and occupied the state capital, he is a proper loyal and patriotic person.

After nodding his head, Li Mu said calmly: "Yuyan, what you said is reasonable. It is really wrong for me to retreat every day for my husband, but to ignore the official affairs of the court.

I don't bother the two masters with one thing, please help me to draft a call to action against thieves, calling on righteous men loyal to the Great Zhou to join in the crusade against the thieves. As a husband, you have to be at odds with these rebellious officials and thieves. "

No matter how many people respond, one fool counts as one. Anyway, if you grab Dayi first, you will definitely not lose money.

The ignorant are fearless, but as long as they read a few more history books, these guys will not jump out in a hurry to be the first bird, let alone kill the state shepherd and all the state officials in a fair manner.

They can't be blamed for their ignorance. The main reason is that the Great Zhou has existed for too long, and the previous history has long since disappeared.

Except for a few ancient families, who may have previous historical materials, others have no idea what fighting for dragons is in troubled times.

Now they are still holding the game of family grabbing territory, and they are taking action. Maybe these guys didn't understand that they were fighting for world hegemony from the beginning to the end.

...

In the autumn of 9999 in the Great Zhou calendar, after Liangzhou Jiedu envoy Li Mu impeached the imperial court, he issued an appeal to the Quartet, listing the seven major crimes of the Liangzhou Family Alliance headed by Cui and Kou, and calling on the world's insightful people to crusade against it.

In one fell swoop, the Aristocratic Family Alliance was labeled as a traitor and traitor, and they were fixed on the opposite side of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the southwest states were greatly shaken.

Although there were very few people who responded by sending troops, there were not a few who followed and scolded. In particular, the prefects and counties of various states followed suit and asked the court to punish Cui and Kou against the party.

The ass decides the head. For the state and county officials, those who dare to kill them, the court officials, must be traitors and thieves.

Undoubtedly, the Great Zhou court also hated this kind of existence that challenged the imperial power.

The emperor was far away, so he couldn't take care of these little fishes for a while, but the charges still had to be settled.

It's a pity that the distance is too far, and this battle is doomed not to wait for the imperial decree to arrive. Otherwise, the plan is more perfect.

The Liangzhou Aristocratic Family Alliance, who had been belatedly aware of it, obviously realized that the matter was serious, but right now they only had one way, which was to defeat Li Mu's crusade army first.

As for the infamy of traitors and thieves, it belongs to the losers, and the victors are never blamed. As long as you persist until the big week is cool, it will be nothing.
