This was not the first time that the Great Zhou suffered such a dilemma by being besieged by various forces.

More than a year ago, when the new king Ji Ao ascended the throne, he encountered such a dilemma.

At that time, Prince Li Ji Yuan, who had long been separatist, did not say that Prince Xun Ji, Prince Ning Ji Yuan, and Prince Ji He announced that because Prince Ji Ao was inappropriate in his throne, he planned to kill the previous emperor and wanted to raise an army to avenge his father.

At that time, the demon army captured Luzhou, and there were three states in Li Luoyi, including Prince Ji Yuan, Prince Xun Ji, Prince Ning Ji Yuan, and Prince Ji He, holding the banner of righteousness, recruited soldiers and generals, and ceded land and established themselves. Several armies had the momentum to directly target Luoyi.

Not to mention the threats from the invading demon clans, the Holy Eagle clans, and the Waling clans.

At that time, Ji Ao felt that it was the most difficult time for him.

However, now I think about it, it is far from the most difficult time than now.

At that time, although it had just begun, several uncles and brothers who were separatist and independent were all ingenious and were busy digging their territory and winning people's hearts.

They said they wanted to attack Ji Ao, but they were just loud noises from their mouths, only slogans, not much action.

The military operations they carried out were just to expand their territory in the shortest time.

Thunder is loud and raindrops are under the rain.

So Ji Ao passed through that period smoothly. The most important thing is that although Ji Ao was the new king, he still had trump cards in his hand.

But this time, it was completely different.

In the past two years, although the Great Zhou took a breath and recovered a little, the independent Prince Xun, Prince Ning, and Prince Ji Yuan, and Prince Ji He were also very developed.

The territory under his command is stable and the army is well-trained.

Development is better than Dazhou.

The reason is also very simple. In today's Dazhou, the operational mechanism is extremely complex, like an extremely bloated fat man, from giving instructions to moving his limbs, every movement is extremely laborious and slow.

But the princes who were separatist were different. They were like capable young men, vigorous, capable and agile, and were almost fully developed.

In two years, my territory has been completely consolidated.

Of course, the Great Zhou was still a giant, and no one dared to provoke it alone.

The death of the concubine Yan gave these princes the best excuse.

Prince Li Jiyuan came forward to form a coalition force to attack the tyrants.

Of course, it was just a coalition force that sent troops to attack the tyrant Ji Ao at the same time.

This time, it was really good, unlike the last time I was doing it.

All the troops sent out were the most elite.

The huge pressure brought to Ji Ao immediately. Not long after the stability, war broke out again in the Great Zhou territory, and the front line was in a hurry.

What's even more terrible is that this time, the coalition forces led by Prince Li Ji Yuan stood at the height of justice.

The coalition's actions made the new king Ji Ao so depressed that he was about to vomit blood.

The four-way attacking army of the coalition forces will be repeatedly activated in front of the army and in front of the city.

Of course, some envoys sneaked into the city they were going to attack early and secretly met with the noble families in the local counties and counties.

The tyrant monarch is indecent!

He actually humiliated and ravaged the former emperor and the Imperial Concubine.

Is this still a son of man?

Is this still the Human Emperor?

The human ethics and Dali accumulated over countless years in the Great Zhou Dynasty are not just a joke, it is a rule that follows from top to bottom!

Especially the nobles attached great importance to this rule.

In essence, this rule is one of the sources of power for the power of the old people in the noble family.

At this time, the new king Ji Ao took the lead in violating it, which is essentially destroying the foundation of their power!

Let them continue to support the tyrant without reason?

Isn’t that inseparable from your own power?

Therefore, many nobles who had great abilities opened the city gates directly to welcome the righteous army who fought against the tyrants. Those with little abilities were informed of the battlefield.

Due to these kinds of changes, even if the city guards and county magistrates want to defend the city, there are many internal ghosts!

Basically, most of the county soldiers and generals in a place come from local noble families.

Once these noble families no longer support Ji Ao and have the intention of surrendering, the city defenses of counties and counties in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the city defenses on the front lines, became like sieves, full of holes.

As the commander, no matter how strict your military law is, you cannot tell which officer around you will become a witness or have already rebelled.

The loyalty of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the first-class bead.

But that was when facing foreign wars and invading demons and demons.

When facing one's own people, it's different.

Especially the supreme legal rationality of the emperor Ji Ao who was loyal to them before, was greatly challenged and subverted because of the suicide of the concubine Yan.

Especially the jade slips that the concubine Yan committed suicide were almost known to everyone, under the crazy promotion of all forces, as if everyone had witnessed it.

In people's hearts, a huge attack storm was formed.

As long as the people's hearts are dispersed, it will be difficult to lead any team.

This is the bad situation facing the Great Zhou or the new king Ji Ao.

Under such a human attack and the choice of surrender to countless local aristocratic forces, the four armies of Prince Li Ji Yuan, Prince Xun Ji, Prince Ning Ji Yuan, and Prince Ji He were unstoppable and tens of thousands of miles a day.

Basically, all counties and counties are all in sight, and only states and cities can barely organize some decent defenses and counterattacks.

But even if the power organized by the state city cannot resist it for long under the omnipresent leadership party like local nobles.

As for the defensive legions Ji Ao had arranged around these four families before, they had already collapsed due to the collapse of morale and many other calculations.

Especially before, because of the extremely tight military force under Ji Ao, the defensive corps of Prince Xun, Prince Ning, and Prince Ji Yuan, and Prince Ji He, were built with the Central Imperial Guard as the backbone, and the local legion as the flesh and blood.

The local legions collapsed and the rebellion was reversed, and the few central imperial guards could no longer fight.

The only thing that was not defeated was the Suzaku Legion among the Central Four Elephant Legion that was deployed on the front line of Jiangzhou.

Because Li Prince Ji Yuan's separatist ruled quite early, the legion used to prevent Li Prince Ji Yuan was the truly elite central imperial guards in Yishui.

However, it was early before the prince's separatist rule, and most of the elite troops on the human-demon battlefield were kidnapped.

While using some elite troops to entangle the Suzaku Legion of the Central Imperial Guard, another army was sent to set out from another direction in the name of attacking the violent army.

In just half a month, the number of prefectures and counties controlled by Luoyi decreased by one third.

What's even more terrible is that because local nobles no longer support Ji Ao for various reasons inside and outside, because they began to lead the way, local troops were no longer able to use them in a short period of time and could only use the Central Imperial Guards.

But before that, the Central Imperial Guard had already had one carrot and multiple pits, so how could it be mobilized in a hurry?

The battle report of an emergency or a loss of the city flew to Luoyi Imperial City like snowflakes.

Ji Ao, who had not expected the situation to take such a sharp turn, had a layer of blisters on his lips in just a few days.

Soon, after urgent discussions with his father's remnant soul and with many important officials, Ji Ao made a major decision.

Some of the forces that are taboo, since they are used by others, they are also used by Dazhou now!

The Heavenly Temple can use the power of the five Creation God Kings to reduce divine punishments. Now that the Great Zhou is in life and death, it can naturally use the power of the Creation God King in the Ancestral Temple without any scruples!

No need to worry about anything anymore.
