The appearance of Zhang Wuji made the already chaotic world even more chaotic.
Every step he took was beyond anyone's expectations.
No one could have imagined that when he raised his army at Guangmingding, he would dare to use 10,000 troops to attack Xuzhou. No one could have imagined that he would lead his troops north to attack Longcheng just after he captured Xuzhou.
Now he is even using the method of a snake swallowing an elephant to conquer the three provinces of Hexi.
What was even more unexpected to everyone in the world was that he actually had the courage to voluntarily give up an entire state.
…
The next day, in Suzhou city.
The sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers filled the air. Chen Youliang gave orders, and hundreds of thousands of troops lined up in a row. The military force was so large that it stretched from the ground to the sky.
A huge sedan chair, pulled by eight horses, moved slowly forward.
Chen Youliang's sedan chair took a full half hour to travel through the armies on both sides and finally arrived outside the most luxurious palace in Suzhou City.
This palace, named Liuli Palace, was ordered to be built by Zhang Shicheng many years ago. Unexpectedly, it has become the place where Chen Youliang was enthroned today.
During the Fengshan Ceremony, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory took out several sheets of yellow paper.
After taking a few pieces of yellow paper and lighting them on red candles, the officials of the Imperial Observatory threw the yellow paper into the sky.
Then a white smoke rose from the ground, and after the white smoke, a piece of yellow cloth appeared in the hand of the official from the Imperial Observatory.
After the official from the Imperial Observatory opened the yellow cloth, he shouted to everyone present.
"In compliance with the will of Heaven, Chen Youliang is destined to be the ruler of the country, a symbol of great success. Now, in compliance with the decree of Heaven, he is enthroned at Liuli. The Chen Han Dynasty will be remembered forever."
After the Imperial Astronomical Observatory finished reading the divine edict, earth-shaking shouts of "Long live the emperor" rang out inside and outside the Glazed Palace.
The declining Yuan Dynasty finally welcomed its first person who openly claimed to be king.
Chen Youliang's Chen Han Dynasty was thus established.
According to his next plan, as long as he captured Dadu, the place where he would perform the Fengshan ceremony next time would be the imperial city of Dadu. At that time, he would no longer be a king, but an emperor.
…
The day after the Fengshan ceremony, Chen Youliang left behind an army of 100,000 in Suzhou to prevent Zhang Shicheng from counterattacking.
The rest of his 300,000 troops boarded thousands of warships, sailed down the Yangtze River, entered the Bohai Sea, and waited for an opportunity to attack Dadu directly.
…
Five days later, in Yuan Dadu, inside the imperial city.
Zhao Min looked at Han Yulou and the note he had just handed over.
Her pretty face showed first confusion and then anger.
She threw the note in her hand into the air, then drew out the sword of Yitian. The sword energy that filled the sky directly split the note into countless pieces.
After her anger subsided, Zhao Min burst into laughter.
"Chen Youliang has become king, hahahaha, blame me, really blame me. Recently, I have been blinded by Zhang Wuji and even forgot his threat."
"I thought he would come directly to attack Dadu, but now he has come, but he came after destroying Zhang Shicheng's Suzhou."
"I thought his appetite wasn't that big, but I actually underestimated him."
Looking at Zhao Min's crazy look, Han Yulou was already a little anxious.
He said to Zhao Min, "Queen Dowager, there is nothing perfect in this world. Chen Youliang is just a king. You must control your emotions and take care of yourself."
Zhao Min laughed for a long time before she said to Han Yulou, "Master, do you think I'm laughing at Chen Youliang's claim to the throne?"
"I was laughing at myself. I lost a great opportunity. If I had known that Chen Youliang would attack Suzhou first and then take Dadu, I would have been able to take back Longcheng during this free time."
"The current Longcheng is no longer the Longcheng of the past. The current Longcheng is Zhang Wuji's retreat and his base camp. If I can recapture Longcheng during this period of time, Zhang Wuji's plan to unify Hexi will undoubtedly fail."
"But now, in this rare free time, I have done nothing."
Han Yulou also knew Zhao Min's regret, but things had come to this point and there was no way to reverse the situation.
Han Yulou could only comfort her, "The Queen Mother doesn't have to be upset about this matter."
It only took Chen Youliang four or five days to attack Suzhou.
Zhao Min said: "Four or five days is enough for me. Zhang Wuji is not in Longcheng now. It doesn't take more time. As long as I lead 50,000 soldiers, I can recapture Longcheng within one day."
"But now, it's too late."
Han Yulou quickly comforted her, "Empress Dowager, there is no need to worry too much about the affairs of Longcheng now."
"The six princes outside the Great Wall just completed the Six Princes Alliance some time ago. I believe that in a few days, they will lead their troops south. By then, with the troops in their hands, they will still be able to recapture Longcheng."
Zhao Min sighed helplessly: "Alas..., this is the only way."
"I just hope that those idiots outside the Great Wall won't be wiped out in Longcheng. We are all descendants of Genghis Khan, so it would be best if we don't bring shame to our ancestors."
…
Outside the pass, more and more soldiers and horses were gathering around the golden-roofed tent of Asilan.
In a few days, he will have an army of more than 200,000 under his command.
At this time, Ashilan already had an unstoppable sense of pride.
The identity of a prince could no longer satisfy his ambitions.
He had already planned a seemingly perfect plan in his mind.
Zhao Min had issued a decree some time ago that whoever could capture Longcheng would be the regent of the Yuan Dynasty.
