"I underestimated the Zhou Dynasty! I am known as the Young Emperor of Zhao, and they pushed out a young man to slap me in the face?"
"Old Master, is there any way to get rid of this person?"
Hearing this, the old man looked at the chessboard, thought for a moment, and said leisurely: "The most urgent task is to destroy the Tang Kingdom first, but if we want to get rid of this person, we can also do it at the same time..."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up: "What's the plan?"
The old man picked up a chess piece and tapped it gently, saying meaningfully, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind... We in the Great Zhao State are worried about losing the capital, but there may be someone over there who is even more worried."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhao sat down again, his eyes full of meaning: "The old man is saying..."
"Under the dark tide, between the powers, the guillotine is the most important thing in history... Your Majesty, why should you worry?" The old man dropped a chess piece, and the Shura mask seemed to become more hideous at this moment for some reason...
"Chu Tianxiao, he won't live long."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "What the old man said is correct, but to destroy someone's heart, we still need some fire..."
"Of course, I have already made a plan..." said the old man, "Three thousand soldiers attacked Zhaodu by surprise, and defeated it with a clever trick... If this person is not eliminated, he will be a big trouble after the demon is destroyed!"
After hearing this, Emperor Zhao was relieved: "The old man is really thoughtful. I asked too much... I think so. The grievances that the old man suffered in the Zhou Dynasty can be repaid by this man this time!"
The old man was silent for a moment, then he slowly took off the Shura mask, revealing a familiar, yet much older face...
If Chu Tianxiao were here, he would definitely recognize him. He was actually the commoner Mo Xiang and Mo Ji, two prime ministers of the former Great Zhou Dynasty!
Back then, this man lost the duel with Chu Tianxiao and was forced by circumstances to leave the Great Zhou on the pretext of retiring and returning home... But who would have thought that he would appear here, surrender to Emperor Zhao, and be relied upon by him as an important minister
However, although the scene before him was incredible, everything made sense in this way - the prime minister who had been loyal to Emperor Zhou for decades could certainly have made all the previous plans for Emperor Zhao Shao. If it weren't for Chu Tianxiao's miracle, I'm afraid the current situation would be that the Great Zhou would have to swallow its anger and cede more than a dozen cities, right
Mo Ji looked at the Shura mask and murmured, his voice filled with resentment, sadness, pain, and other complex emotions...
"Chu... Tian... Xiao..."
"This time, it's the situation that's crushing us! You can't hide from it!"
…
…
While Emperor Zhao and others were planning, Chu Tianxiao had already completely taken control of the capital city of Zhao.
At this time, Zhou Ying's defeat and death in later generations had not yet occurred, but he had already been defeated in Zhaodu. After hearing that Zhou Dynasty reinforcements would arrive soon, in order to avoid being attacked from both sides, he finally gritted his teeth and chose to withdraw his troops, which meant handing over Zhaodu to Chu Tianxiao...
Of course, this decisive general of the Great Zhao Dynasty ultimately failed to escape being surrounded by the Zhou army. Probably a few days later, he would commit suicide as recorded in later history books...
At that moment, seeing the exhausted Zhao army led by Zhou Ying retreating like a tide, the defenders of the entire Zhao capital were cheering, feeling lucky that they survived this battle. Chu Tianxiao was shocked by this scene, thinking that those scheming men had cheated on the young emperor Zhao, right? Otherwise, how could the morale here be so high? The defenders were conscientious in their duties, and their defensive posture was so good that even he had to praise himself...
However, this thought was just a thought. Chu Tianxiao cared more about the outcome of this battle, not the process. He didn't want to bother with the scheming people... Now that Zhaodu has been secured, let's prepare to escort them back to Kyoto. Presumably, it will be a spectacular scene...
"Your Majesty has already reached the fifth realm, and your soul is much stronger than the kings of the various countries in the vast land of China. You will never be deceived by these mediocre women. I just want to get rid of this hot potato... But I still have to keep one or two of them, in the future... maybe they can be of some use..."
Chu Tianxiao thought like this and soon got things done. At the same time, he began to deal with all the follow-up matters of the war. For a while, the whole mansion was bustling with activity. In order to avoid suspicion, Chu Tianxiao did not move into the Zhao Palace, but found a director for the mansion outside.
Just when all matters were almost done, Chu Tianxiao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the voice of the Big Prodigal System suddenly rang in his ears!
"Ding! I've abused my true destiny thousands of times, and the auxiliary mission has been generated!"
"III auxiliary mission - summon the emperor, but lose to the loser!"
"Mission description: Summon the Prince of Fortune. You can summon all kinds of counselors, generals, commanders and other loyalists. They are quite difficult to deal with. However, in front of the prodigal, all the methods of the Prince of Fortune are nothing! Please use the prodigal technique to give this gentleman a fatal blow and shatter his dream of a great age!"
"Mission Reward: Completely suppress the luck, which will be considered a success, and the reward will be issued at that time."
"Failure penalty: deduct 50 million from the amount of money spent. If it is not enough, the host will be killed directly!"
"Warm Tip 1: As the emperor's destined son, his luck is linked to the fate of the country. If you seize his mountains and rivers, his luck will be reduced."
"Warm Tip 2: The summoning method of the Summoning True Son of Heaven has flaws. The summoned generals are all die-hards who cannot be shaken and only know how to unconditionally pledge allegiance to the crowned Emperor Zhao. In addition, the summoned beauties are all disloyal and scheming, except for one woman... She is untainted by the mud, which may be the key to her torture."
"Warm Tip 3: The source of the summoning of the True Prince of Summoning Flow should be in Zhaodu. Please explore carefully, and you may gain something."
"Current amount of money lost: 200 million. (Spiritual Coins)"
Seeing that this auxiliary task was finally completed, Chu Tianxiao leaned back slightly, looked through it carefully, and then knocked on the table...
"It's a bit strange... First of all, according to Tip 1, I took over Zhaodu, which definitely destroyed the luck of Emperor Zhao, but not only did I not complete the task, I didn't even get a percentage prompt... Does this mean that taking over Zhaodu is far from being considered 'comprehensive suppression'?"
Chu Tianxiao thought of this, raised his head slightly, and murmured: "It seems that three thousand defeated soldiers breaking the Zhao capital is still not shocking enough... Oh, well, anyway, this time, I want to play a big one! Well... I have to hurry up."
Memories appeared in his mind, but were interrupted by Chu Tianxiao's shaking head. His eyes were burning as he continued to analyze and thought: "The key to this matter should be the method of summoning the emperor. Combining the two clues 2 and 3... It seems that finding the woman who is untainted by the mud will be the key... But, I don't see any good women among those scheming people."
