"Hahaha, just blow it." Luo Feng said with a smile: "We are still far away from Roy City."
Zhang Xuli said with an aggrieved look: "It's over. Lao Jiang's northern route army attacked the most cities, and Murong's southern route army attacked the Royal City of Roy Kingdom. Our middle route army suffered a bit."
"What a loss." Luo Feng said with a smile: "We killed Xiujie and destroyed Xiujie's main force. This achievement is still small."
"That's true." Zhang Xuli was thinking about how many military achievements he had.
Seeing Zhang Xuli lowering his head and thinking deeply, Luo Feng knew that Zhang Xuli was making plans again, Luo Feng said: "Don't forget it, Yuxuan has unified the northwest and is marching his army south. If we don't leave, we will be overtaken by Yuxuan."
"Then hurry up and leave. Every city is full of military achievements." Zhang Xuli ran away.
"Wait a minute." Luo Feng stopped Zhang Xuli, his face darkened, and asked: "I asked you to send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhang Xinyi, but I still don't see a response from you."
"This, this." Zhang Xuli said helplessly: "I have sent many people and are asking everywhere. It's just that when Zhaluo City was attacked by Xiujie, the city was in chaos. Now I only know that Madam was attacked by several red robes. The soldier was taken to a resident’s home to recover from his injuries, but he disappeared later.”
Luo Feng was silent for a long time and said, "Send more people, or go directly. We must find Xin Yi."
Now that the unification trend has been decided, Zhang Xuli replied: "Okay, then I will take people to find them."
After Zhang Xuli left, Luo Feng led his army to continue marching westward. A month later, he met Jiang Yuxuan's army in Red Maple City.
In the city lord's palace, Jiang Yuxuan happily ran to Luo Feng's office with the battle report in his hand and said: "King, I just got the news that Commander Murong Army has captured Roy City."
Although it was already a matter of time to unify Central Continent, I was still excited when I heard that Roy City had been conquered.
Luo Feng stood up immediately and said happily: "That's great, hahaha."
"One more thing." Jiang Yuxuan said with a smile: "Yin Ke, Court Officer of the Roy Kingdom, sent someone to deliver the news that the Roy Kingdom is unable to fight anymore and is willing to surrender unconditionally."
The Central Continent is finally about to be unified. It has been more than twenty years since the beginning of the campaign.
Luo Feng had mixed feelings in his heart. More than 20 years of time poured out at this moment, and everything was vividly visible.
After a long time, unable to suppress his inner excitement, Luo Feng said anxiously: "Okay, you and Tuoba will handle this matter."
"Yes." Jiang Yuxuan exited Luo Feng's office and went to discuss accepting the surrender.
After more than twenty days of discussions and preparations, Luo Feng arrived at Roy City. With the support of everyone, he entered the royal palace in Roy City.
The Kingdom of Roy has been destroyed, Central Continent has been unified, and the world has become one. The Kingdom of Sesha has become the first kingdom to unify Central Continent.
Standing in the political hall of the palace, Luo Feng looked at the people below and said slowly: "The unification of Central Continent and the unification of the world all depend on your efforts. But such a huge kingdom cannot be managed by me alone. What good ideas do you have?"
"Proclaiming emperor and king is Futuo's strategy during his lifetime to establish an empire and divide the kings after he dedicated it to Xiu Jie to rule the world." Yin Ke stood up and said.
"How is this possible?" Murong Yi stood up and said, "If they were to be crowned kings again, occupying the same place and doing their own thing, wouldn't it be chaos in the world again?"
It was Futuo who proposed to be emperor and king during his lifetime. After Xiujie's defeat, Futuo knew that the situation was over and locked himself in the house alone. When he was found, he had already hanged himself to death.
Yin Ke didn't know much about this strategy, he had only heard about it. Faced with Murong Yi's doubts, Yin Ke couldn't fight and could only retreat to the side.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Tuoba said: "It is really difficult to rule the hundreds of cities in Central Continent with the power of one king. Originally, there were nine kings in Central Continent. If they were to be enfeoffed again, they would be in chaos. But if the kingdom becomes emperor and the emperor rules the world, Then grant nine kings to assist the Heavenly Emperor. The imperial army will all belong to the Heavenly Emperor. Each king's administration must obey the Heavenly Emperor. The emperor's orders can be issued smoothly and uniformly, which will be conducive to the management of hundreds of cities in Central Continent."
In this way, even if the nine kings were divided and the nine kingdoms were reappeared, they would still be different from the original nine kingdoms that were independent of each other.
The nine enfeoffed kingdoms only managed the cities within their own kingdoms, and enjoyed the title and treatment of kings. They had no military power, and their administration was subject to the orders of the Emperor of Heaven, equivalent to a local official.
"Okay." Luo Feng said with a smile: "Everyone, follow me all the way to the battle. The one with the highest military merit should indeed be crowned the king, the second one the lord, and the third one the city lord."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that the enfeoffment was going to be divided. After fighting for a lifetime, it would be great to have a fiefdom and enjoy the glory and wealth in the next life.
"Since the king has decided to proclaim himself emperor and crown king, it is not too late to decide on the imperial capital first and then crown him king." Jiang Yuxuan said.
"Yes." Tuoba Xiangchang said: "Please ask the king to designate the imperial capital. After we move the imperial capital with the king, the king will first proclaim himself emperor and then king."
There are hundreds of cities in Zhongzhou, each city is different. When it comes to establishing the imperial capital, the first thing Luo Feng thinks of is Sesha City, and he says: "Sesha City is our foundation, how about setting the imperial capital in Sesha City?"
Sesha City is located in the eastern part of the Central Continent, with flat terrain and fertile land. After so many years of operation, it has become the most fertile place.
Prime Minister Tuoba said: "Sesha City is our foundation city. It is suitable for establishing a capital in all aspects. Only its location to the east is not conducive to the kingdom's control of various places."
Hearing what Prime Minister Tuoba said, Luo Feng felt that it made sense. If he was in one of the hundred cities in Central Continent and the cities in the west were in trouble, he would be beyond his reach, which would indeed be detrimental to his rule.
"It seems that we have to find a city with convenient transportation in the middle." Luo Feng said thoughtfully.
"The one with the most mature conditions is Soluo City." Jiang Yuxuan said.
Soluo City was originally a royal city, located in the core of central China, with convenient transportation and rich resources.
After hearing this, Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, Suoluo City is the imperial city."
"Then I will immediately order people to expand the royal palace in Soluo City into an imperial palace." After Tuoba Xiangchang finished speaking, he added: "No, I have to rush to Soluo City immediately. It must be completed before the king arrives in Soluo City. , I’ll go right away.”
"You are really impatient, okay, go ahead."
After Luo Feng finished speaking, Prime Minister Tuoba immediately turned around and left the Council Hall, left Roy City, and rushed to Soluo City.
After the meeting, Luo Feng came to Jiang Yuxuan and asked, "Is there still no news about Xinyi?"
Now no one dares to mention Zhang Xinyi in front of Luo Feng, and they are most afraid of Luo Feng asking this question.
"Legion Commander Zhang Xuli has been searching for clues in various cities. This time he went to Soluo City and has informed Commander Zhang Xuli. There may be good news by then."
Hearing what Jiang Yuxuan said, Luo Feng could only wait quietly.
Three months later, Luo Feng arrived at Suoluo City and led more than 300 people including Jiang Yuxuan, Tuoba Xiangchang, Zhang Xuli, and Zhang Shunxiao. Under the protection of thousands of troops, they marched into the newly built Imperial City. palace.
In front of the Yizheng Hall, thousands of guards spread out to both sides and lined up neatly to guard the Yizheng Hall. People walked into the Yizheng Hall along the steps among the escorts on both sides.
In the political hall, Jiang Yuxuan and others stood on the left and right. Luo Feng, wearing an imperial robe, walked up the front steps, turned around and sat on the imperial throne, facing everyone.
"The Central Continent has been decided and the world is united. It is the work of everyone. Jiang Yuxuan and Tuoba Xiangchang are now promoted to imperial officials and given earls. Jiang Yuxuan is named King Roy and Xiangchang Tuoba is named King Soluo."
"Thank you, Emperor Tian."
"Zhang Xuli will be the commander of the army, given the title of earl, and will be granted the title of King Sesha."
"Ah, I have also been granted the title of king and count, hahaha." Zhang Xuli laughed: "I can marry a wife again."
"Legion Commander, keep a low profile, this is the imperial palace." Feng Ziying said softly to Zhang Xuli.
"Oh, yes." Zhang Xuli immediately said to Luo Feng seriously: "Thank you, Emperor Tian, for never betraying the Emperor's trust."
Luo Feng continued: "Zhang Shunxiao will be the commander of the army, given the title of earl, and the title of King of Kaxi."
"Thank you, Emperor Tian."
"Murong Yi will be the commander of the army, and he will be given the title of earl and the title of King Tiya."
"Thank you, Emperor Tian."
"Tima Xiaoke was made the commander of the army, given the title of earl, and the title of King Aiqi."
"Thank you, Emperor Tian."
"Ding Xu will be the commander of the army, given the title of Marquis, and the title of King of Fengshan."
"Thank you, Emperor Tian."
"Propose Feng Ziying as the commander of the army, grant him the title of Marquis, and grant him the title of King of Garr."
"Thank you, Emperor Tian."
"Promote Sima Hongyi to the rank of army commander, grant him the title of Marquis, and grant him the title of King Natu."
"Thank you, Emperor Tian."
"The rest of the people will be rewarded one by one and will not be read out again."
"Thank you, Emperor Tian."
After the enfeoffment was over and everyone dispersed, Luo Feng stopped Jiang Yuxuan, Tuoba Xiangchang and Zhang Xuli and said, "It's been such a long time and there's still no whereabouts of Xin Yi?"
Three people, and I don't know how many people were sent, searched almost every land in Central Continent, but there was still no news about Zhang Xinyi.
Looking at the expressions of the three people, Luo Feng knew that there must be no news, so he sighed and walked out of the political affairs hall.
How many years have passed, Zhongzhou is peaceful. In the pavilion of the Imperial Palace, Luo Feng, whose temples are already as white as snow, sits alone on a wooden chair, looking at the peaceful pool of water in front of him. An old voice sounds from his mouth: "Nearly twenty years have passed. It’s been a year, where is Xinyi?”
Standing aside, Prime Minister Tuoba lamented: "Activate the entire Central Continent intelligence network, and there is still no news for twenty years. There is only one possibility."
A light flashed in Luo Feng's eyes, feeling hopeful, and asked anxiously: "What's possible?"
Xiang Tuoba said in a long voice: "It must have been when the city was breached that in order to avoid Xiujie's search, my wife hid in a deserted place in the wild. It was difficult for outsiders to enter and it was difficult for them to get out."
As long as we are alive and each other is well, maybe this is the best ending.
Luo Feng closed his eyes and recalled Zhang Xinyi, but found that the memory had been blurred, leaving only sporadic fragments. Tears suddenly fell from the corners of my eyes, wishing that time could slow down and not erase the remaining memories.
