"That's a good flattery." Zhang Xinyi stood next to Luo Feng and said to Zhang Xuli: "This first military achievement must be yours."
"Eh?" Zhang Xuli pulled his face and said, "I won the military merit with a stick, but I really don't dare to take the first military merit today."
"Then who takes it?" Luo Feng asked.
"Murong, he must have achieved the greatest military success in capturing Deni City."
"Hahaha." Luo Feng laughed: "I guess you are somewhat self-aware."
"No, no, no." Murong Yi said, "It's all the result of everyone fighting together. The greatest military merit should be those soldiers and officers who died in battle."
Everyone was silent. In this attack on Deni City, a total of more than 4,000 soldiers and officers were killed, nearly a flag of troops was lost, and most of the resources were used up.
Jiang Yuxuan broke the heavy atmosphere and said: "The capture of Deni City this time was indeed a fierce battle. If it weren't for the hard work of Captain Murong, Captain Zhang and all the officers and soldiers, the consequences would be unimaginable. At the moment, we should clear up resources and support the war. Kill the people, collect the surrendered troops, expand the army, and return to Sesha City immediately."
Zhang Xuli shouted anxiously: "Why are you in such a hurry? My chicken legs haven't been tested yet."
"Qin Pei has returned to Cassi City. If he leads his army south, Sesha City will be in danger." Luo Feng said.
"Then I will stay and clean up the remaining soldiers, and then come back when Deni City is stabilized." Zhang Xuli said.
"Don't worry about your chicken legs. Don't be in a hurry to go back. I'll tell the two sisters then." Zhang Xinyi stared at Zhang Xuli to scare Zhang Xuli.
"Come on." Zhang Xuli was immediately discouraged and said feebly: "Then I'd better go back."
After everyone laughed, Luo Feng ordered Feng Ziying to clear up resources, and Murong Yi collected the surrendered soldiers and returned to Sesha City immediately tomorrow morning.
The fighting in Deni City had just stopped. Qin Pei in the north was furious after receiving the news and looked at Shen Qianyao's army, which was retreating after several battles.
"They were the ones who delayed us. We can't pursue anymore. We have to attack Luofeng immediately."
"No, lord." Wei Yiqi said: "Luofeng has occupied Deni City, and we have just defeated Qiao Fu's army. It is better to attack Luo Feng than to attack Qiao Fu directly."
Qin Pei wanted to destroy Luo Feng, but his army was already fighting Qiao Fu's army. Shen Qianyao in front was retreating, which was the opportunity to capture Qiao Fu.
"Okay, let's capture Qiao Fu first." Qin Pei ordered the entire army to pursue Shen Qianyao, and then ordered Sun Yu and Bao Shixing to each lead a banner of troops from Kaxi City to attack Zhaluo City.
Luo Feng led his army back to Sesha City. As soon as he returned to the office, Prime Minister Tuoba came running in.
"Lord, we just received the information that Xiu Jie is preparing to proclaim himself king."
"What?" Luo Feng asked, "What is a king?"
"Anyway, it means that he is greater than the lord, and all lords must obey the king's orders."
"Who will listen to him?" Luo Feng said angrily.
Tuoba Xiangchang said: "Everyone is doing their own thing now, and it is impossible to make other forces obey orders. However, Xiujie reorganized the army under Futuo's suggestion, and the army's organization appeared. One army has about five banners, and the leader Called Commander."
"According to this calculation, how many troops can we have?" Luo Feng asked.
"An army." Tuoba Xiangchang said directly.
"Where's Xiujie?"
"Four armies."
"The disparity in strength is almost too great." Luo Feng sighed.
"Fortunately, we won Deni City, and our resources and troops will be greatly improved by then." Tuoba Xiangchang gave Luo Feng confidence.
"Yuxuan still has a lofty strategy. He has already predicted that if he does not advance westward, he will eventually be annexed by other forces." Luo Feng felt a little relieved.
In Roy City, in the Lord's Mansion, Fu Tuo stood quietly in Xiu Jie's office.
Soon Xiu Jie's voice came from outside: "Futuo, are you looking for me?"
When Fu Tuo heard Xiu Jie's voice, he quickly turned around to welcome Xiu Jie into the office. After Xiu Jie sat down, Fu Tuo said, "Lord, the matter of proclaiming the king is basically settled."
"What's left?" Xiu Jie asked directly.
"Just wait until the palace is completed and declare it to the world."
"Hahaha." Xiu Jie was overjoyed: "Since I am the king, should all other forces on the Central Continent surrender to me and obey my orders?"
Futuo said: "Although this is true, now that each force is working on its own and competing for territory, it is almost impossible to obey our orders."
Xiu Jie's face immediately turned unhappy and he said angrily: "Then what's the point of me calling this king?"
"Of course?" Futuo said: "In continuous battles, heroes, officers, soldiers, and administrative officials have all achieved a lot of achievements. How can the lords reward them if they can't get to the first level?"
"Secondly, with our combat power, we can definitely become king and deter other forces."
"Again, it facilitates the establishment of military and political institutions. Now that the territory is large, it is no longer suitable for you to use the title of lord."
"I will run the army and leave all administrative powers to you." Xiu Jie said casually.
Futuo continued: "Yes, lord, since you are the king, you should rule the country."
"Dingguo?" Xiu Jie looked at Futuo with hazy eyes and said, "What the hell is this? Please explain clearly."
Futuo recalled that he had recorded in ancient books and other legends when traveling and studying: In ancient civilization, there were many countries, and each country had a name and a ruler.
"Lord, those are all recorded in ancient books, and the ancient books are incomplete and very vague, but this country is a power."
"Then I will be the king and supreme ruler of this country, hahaha." Xiu Jie laughed.
Futuo said: "Yes, so lord, you must have your own palace and command the lords from all over the country. If there is a lord who disobeys, we will send troops to conquer, so that we can go out in a legitimate manner."
"That's good." Xiu Jie was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "In the future, you don't have to make up excuses to seize other people's territory. Those who don't obey will just start fighting."
"So please, lord, give us a name for this country first."
After hearing Fu Tuo's words, Xiu Jie looked up at the roof, thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, and said: "It's too complicated. We have always used the name Roy all the way. When we are crowned king, the name of the country will be Roy. "
"Roy Kingdom." Fu Tuo read it softly and continued: "Okay. But if you have a palace, you must have a princess to help the lord manage the harem. I wonder who the lord will choose as the princess on the day when he is crowned king?"
Xiu Jie stared at Futuo and said, "You want to take care of this too?"
"Just prepare early." Fu Tuo said softly.
Xiu Jie thought for a moment and said, "It's better to be Mo Qifei."
After all, Mo Qifei was chosen, Fu Tuo had already guessed it, but Xiu Jie still felt his heart was shocked when he said it, and he stood silently with his head bowed.
"What? You still want to help me find another wife to be the princess?" Xiu Jie said to Fu Tuo.
Even if he found another one, he would not choose Lan Yao. Futuo knew that it was useless to say anything, so he directly responded: "This is the lord's family matter."
