Everyone knew that the royal family had compromised. The world was in full swing, and the prestige of the Great Zhou declined again.

The princes, warlords, and wealthy families were all celebrating. As long as the royal family was willing to compromise, the Great Zhou could survive forever.

A nominal Zhou emperor can still tolerate it, and for all parties, this is the best choice at the moment. Only a few major forces are worried.

With just one test, the royal family chose to compromise, which was completely different from the Great Zhou royal family they understood.

The calmer you show, the more it means that the royal family’s brewing ultimate moves are. The foundation accumulated over thousands of years, the power of the Great Zhou royal family should not be underestimated.

Once it explodes, no force can withstand it. What's more, in addition to the royal family itself, there are also a group of forces loyal to the Great Zhou.

Over the years, they have too much time to make arrangements. No one knows how much of their power is hidden in the world.

I don’t know what information I got from the Li family in Suizhou, but the Marquis of Dingyuan has already begun to arrange the funeral.

Looking at the secret letter in his hand, Li Mu didn't know how to reply. The troubled times had just started, and the big family's separate betting mode had already been launched.

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

As a nobleman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Dingyuan Hou was ready to die for his country. It was not only to welcome the backlash of the country's destiny, but also an explanation for the relationship between the king and the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

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

The Hou Mansion's attitude is already very obvious, but he is not optimistic that the Great Zhou can survive this disaster, and start preparing in advance to minimize his own losses.

Now my father has the only requirement for Li Mu that he cannot take the lead in countering the Zhou Dynasty. Even if he wants to compete for the world, he has to wait for the demise of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, there is no need to persuade people to be cautious and not be the first to be a leader. It also comes with information about major forces collected by the Marquis’ Mansion.

Li Mu once wanted to persuade him to give up his title and come to Liangzhou to forget about it. Other places may be afraid of luck, but there is still a way to avoid the disaster on this Liangzhou mother river.

Unfortunately, I can only think about this. The patriarch is not easy to be a clan leader. In addition to power, there are also responsibilities and obligations that need to be borne.

Although the territory occupied by Liangzhou is large, it cannot withstand the business of Dingyuan for a long time. Giving up the old nest and striving for Liangzhou is not something that anyone can make.

In troubled times, if you want to reduce risks, you can only place bets diversified.

In the following months, Li Mu gradually solved several fallen gods, but unfortunately the authority of heaven and earth collected was far inferior to before.

Obviously, gods are also divided into levels. Not all gods can control supreme authority, and not all mountains, rivers and rivers are qualified to give birth to gods.

Just gain something, but it is not easy to be able to get a bargain from the hands of a powerful person.

According to the script, it should be a fallen god, who constantly devours the innate gods and strengthens themselves, and finally is the powerful who subdues the demon and picks peaches.

The fruit is not ripe yet, and it is picked by Li Mu in advance, so the taste is naturally not much better.

Realizing this, Li Mu no longer rushes to attack the fallen god. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole behind it, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer in the end.

The peaceful years are short-lived. Liangzhou's battle for hegemony has entered a new stage. The provincial governor, who originally occupied Dayi, was kicked out of the game first.

Now he has entered the era of three-legged tyrants. Unfortunately, Li Mu has become the weakest Shu Han. What’s even more tragic is that he cannot play with Wu and Wei, so he has already joined forces to kill him.

The reason for the two alliances is very simple and fearful.

Not only were he afraid of Dingyuan Hou Mansion, but he was also afraid of the Li family of Suizhou. The two major overlords of Liangzhou, suspected that Li Mu was the secret son of the Li family of Suizhou in the south, so he naturally had to kick him out in advance for his own safety.

Looking at the Liangzhou map, the six counties of Hanchuan, Xicheng, Fangling, Qinghua, Tongchuan and Dangqu in the southwest are now occupied by Li Mu. The five counties of Luchuan, Jianwei, Yuezhi, Jingke and Qian'an are occupied by many small forces.

The remaining Hanyang, Lintao, Dangchang, Wudu, Tongchang, Hechi and more than 20 counties are all in the hands of the two major families, and the power of the two sides is significantly contrasted.

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

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

The children of the clan all came from the army, and their military literacy was obviously more than good, and there was also an army that had been trained for several years.

In contrast, most of the armies of the two major families are incorporated or temporarily recruited, and the number of elite private troops accounts for a very small proportion.

In the previous battle against the Lord of Liangzhou, they were all suppressed and beaten. They only had the power to resist, but no fight back.

If it hadn't been for the long-term operation in Liangzhou and waiting for an opportunity to attack Zhao Tianyun in the city, it would be an unknown who would win or lose in this war.

Li Mu was not afraid of the beheading operation. If the enemy was willing to come to him, he would only ask for it.

As long as you are not a master at the level of the soul, you will be delivered to your own territory. If you have the authority of heaven and earth, you will have no pressure to bully warriors of the same level.

Li Mu was still pondering, and the female military advisor on the side had already spoken: "Husband, don't worry about transition. The two major families in Liangzhou are not very strong, and they can only be considered second-rate in the world.

This time they came in full force, because they had just defeated Zhaozhou Mu. At this moment, they were in high spirits and wanted to unify Liangzhou in one go.

But they also have a fatal problem. Alliances are always just alliances, and cooperation cannot be truly intimate.

The two major families have equal strengths. If the problem of whoever is in charge and whoever is subordinate is not solved, the alliance will not be able to truly stabilize.

In addition, they have a large number of vassal families following them. These people have their own little abacus and cannot be completely on par with them.

If there are many soldiers and many generals, it is just data on paper. The temporary enrollment of the imperial army obviously did not return so quickly.

These weaknesses can be exploited. As long as we wait for an opportunity to win a few small battles, problems will arise within the league.

Besides, we are not without allies. Although the small forces in Liangzhou are not worth mentioning, the remaining forces of the Great Zhou can be used.

The emergence of such a hurry and killing the provincial governor appointed by the court was also a major defeat for the two major families.

It is not difficult to repel the enemy. The key is how to seize Liangzhou after defeating them."

Li Mu thought of other issues, but with the help of the "power of the court", it was not within his consideration.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that he has not yet corrected his identity. Now he is not a traitor, but a Liangzhou Jiedushi who maintains the country of Great Zhou.

Although it seems a bit domineering invading the power of county officials, who has put the court in chaos and has not sent officials to take office yet?

Compared to killing the provincial governor without authorization and occupying the two major families of the prefecture, he is a loyal and patriotic person.

After nodding, Li Mu said frankly: "Yu Yan, it's reasonable. He is in seclusion every day, but he ignores the affairs of the court. It is not true.

I will not bother the two masters in one matter. I will ask you to draft a document to fight against the thieves for me, and call on righteous men who are loyal to the Great Zhou to fight against the thieves together. For my husband, I must be incompatible with these chaotic ministers and thieves."

No matter how many people respond, fooling each one. Anyway, you will never lose money by grabbing the righteousness first.

The ignorant is fearless. If you read more history books, these guys will not rush out to be the first to be successful, and it is even more impossible to kill the provincial governor and kill a group of state officials in a blatant manner.

We cannot blame them for their ignorance, mainly because the Great Zhou Dynasty has existed for too long, and the previous history has long disappeared.

Except for a few ancient families, which may have previous historical data, others don’t know what fighting for dragons in troubled times is.

Now they are still taking the game of snatching territory by their family. Perhaps these guys have never understood from beginning to end that they are fighting to dominate the world.

...

In the autumn of 9999 of the Great Zhou calendar, after Li Mu, the governor of Liangzhou, submitted an impeachment to the court, he issued a suppression article to all sides, listing the seven major crimes of the Liangzhou family alliance led by Cui and Kou families, and calling on knowledgeable people in the world to attack them.

In one fell swoop, he labeled the Alliance of Aristocratic Family, and frozen them on the opposite side of the Great Zhou, which greatly shocked the southwest states.

Although there were very few people who sent troops to respond, there were many people who scolded him. Especially the county magistrates of various states followed the court to punish Cui and rebel against the party.

The butt determines the head. For all the officials of prefectures and counties, those who dare to kill the officials of the court without authorization must be traitors.

There is no doubt that the Zhou court also hated this kind of existence that challenged the imperial power.

The emperor was far away and could not take care of these little fish for a while, but the charges were still necessary.

Unfortunately, the distance is too far, and this battle is destined to not wait for the imperial edict to arrive. Otherwise, the plan would be more perfect.

The Liangzhou Family Alliance, which later realized it, obviously realized that things were going on, but they only had one way to defeat Li Mu's army first.

As for the infamy of the traitors, it belongs to the loser, and the winner is never criticized. As long as you persist until the Great Zhou Dynasty is in trouble, you will be nothing.
