Inside the warm pavilion.

Everyone focused their eyes on Zhu Yuanzhang, wanting to know what he was here for.

"Emperor Chu, at present, the state of Chu is thriving, the national strength is strong, the people live in peace, and in the case of the war of a hundred countries, the state of Chu will be governed in such an orderly manner, and the country of Chu will definitely win the world in the future."

"As the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, so I came here this time to discuss with Emperor Chu about Shunming's annexation to Chu."

"Hmm!"

Emperor Chu looked stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to take the initiative to submit to the Chu State, so that the whole thing would be much simpler.

"Emperor Shunming is really well aware of the righteousness, with Shunming taking the initiative to return to Shun, it will definitely shock the Northern Song Dynasty, Wuling, and Tubo Three Kingdoms, they will definitely make the right decision in the shortest possible time."

Zhu Yuanzhang's move is really a good start, Shunming and the Northern Song Dynasty are equal in strength, followed by martial arts, and Tubo is second only to Chu in the current three-grade empire, but if it is compared with the second-grade power and the first-grade super empire, Tubo is much inferior.

"I am flattered why Emperor Shunming suddenly made such a decision."

"The state of Chu is still among the great powers, and in the past, there was some intersection with Emperor Chu, knowing Emperor Chu's means and style of doing things, rather than being annexed by other empires in the future and ending up in a situation of crushing defeat and annihilation, it is better to return to the state of Chu as soon as possible, so that the people can avoid war, and at the same time, they can also conspire with Emperor Chu."

"This decision is not the idea of one person, but the result of discussion with hundreds of officials, it is the best choice to submit to the state of Chu, as for other empires, they can also choose, but they can't convince someone."

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"Shunming will be submissive to Chu, I will reward Chongba as the Duke of Ming, stay by my side and conspire together, as for the land of Shunming, there will be Li Cunxiao, Wang Yanzhang, Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang four, plus the original generals of Shunming to guard together, I don't know what happens under the public will of Ming?"

"Ming Guogong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have too many requirements for his reward, Emperor Chu rewarded him as the Duke of Ming, obviously treating him as his own, if he had a bad heart for him, he could reward the marquis.

"Huh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up, moved out of the ranks, and saluted: "Thank you for your reward, in the future, Weichen has done his best to be loyal to His Majesty." ”

"Duke Ming Guo doesn't need to be polite, your choice today will bring earth-shaking changes to Wu Chu, and I will definitely not let you regret returning to Chu State."

"You can return to Shunming to tell the world one day, and at the same time lead your family to the Beast Emperor City, and the Guogong Mansion is always ready for you."

Emperor Chu was overjoyed, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang was a generation of Ming monarchs in history, creating the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect to return to the war continent, but he took the initiative to submit to his command.

"Di, congratulations to the host for being surrendered by Zhu Yuanzhang, gaining the power of the king and the true qi of the emperor, and at the same time, the level of the national fortune of the Chu State has been raised again."

"Drop, congratulations to the host for getting a King Pack, which can be opened at any time!"

"Drop, congratulations to the host for obtaining the mountains and rivers of the Shunming Empire, and obtaining a Shenwei gift package, which can be opened and used at any time."

When Emperor Chu was excited, there were three cheap prompts in his ears, and Emperor Chu only felt that happiness came too suddenly, all of which caught him off guard.

"Your Majesty rest assured, Wechen has handed over all domestic affairs to Prime Minister Zhu Sheng, and Wechen sent someone to inform him, and he will announce it to the world according to His Majesty's wishes, so that all countries will know that the Shunming Empire is subservient to Chu."

Smell.

Jiang Shang, Zhang Liang, Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang, and Fang Xuanling were surprised, Zhu Yuanzhang came this time, obviously made precise arrangements, and he didn't plan to return to the Shunming Empire, what was the reason for him to be so decisive?

Everyone was puzzled, but looking at his appearance, he was not harboring evil intentions, but all this was too smooth, coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, it was difficult for people not to think nonsense.

"Chongba, it seems that you have already made all the preparations, since you don't plan to return to Shunming, you will send someone to inform Zhu Sheng later, and it will be a good thing for Shunming to tell the world as soon as possible."

Emperor Chu's eyes flickered, as if he had noticed something, but he did not expose it, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak out in person.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that Weichen can't hide."

"The four empires of Longxiao, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu have formed an alliance, and they have raised troops to attack Xiang Yu, the overlord who is entrenched in Longxiao, but their real intention is to capture the Shunming Empire, and Longxiao's vanguard army is estimated to be at the border of the Shunming Empire in half a month."

"Four-nation alliance?"

At this moment, everyone in the warm pavilion finally knew why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to surrender to Chu, it turned out that he was afraid of the Four-Nation Alliance, rather than being destroyed by the Four-Nation Alliance, it was better to return to the Chu State, and use the power of Chu to eliminate the Four-Nation Alliance, so that the land of Shunming could be saved from the poison of war.

"Chongba, I just said how could you take the initiative to choose to submit, I feel that you are afraid of the Four-Nation Alliance!"

"No, no, Wechen is not afraid of the Four-Nation Alliance, if one of the countries comes to attack, Wechen will fight to the death with them, and it is not yet known who will die in the end."

"It's just that this time they have an alliance of four countries, and they are all second-grade powers, even if Weichen has the intention to kill the thief, he has no power to return to the sky, these four-nation alliances combined, I am afraid that they have the strength to defeat the Yipin Empire, and the Shunming Empire cannot compete with it."

"In addition, Wechen has long had the intention of surrendering, and this four-nation alliance just made Wechen make the final decision."

Zhu Yuanzhang was terrified, and eagerly explained, only to see Emperor Chu laugh softly: "Since Shunming has returned to Shunwu Chu, it is an inseparable part of the Chu State, and the Four-Nation Alliance dares to attack on a large scale, how can I let them succeed." ”

The emergence of the Four-Nation Alliance, in the eyes of Emperor Chu, is very beneficial to the Chu State, and can make the other Sanpin empires feel the pressure, and perhaps they will make the same choice as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Moreover, Lei Yan, the leading commander of the White Tiger Empire, already had a grudge with Emperor Chu, and the capture of Shunming should be part of their plan, and the real goal must be Chu State.

"Chongba, rest assured, I will send troops to Shunming, and the Four-Nation Alliance will not want to step into Shunming!"

Emperor Chu's expression was solemn, and his majestic voice spread, and he couldn't help but think of the Four Nations Alliance, Xiang Yu alone could not deal with it at all, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the overlord's distress letter would be sent to the Beast Emperor City.

"Xiao Guizi, send a message to Li Cunxiao, Wang Yanzhang, Zhou Yu, and Qi Jiguang to enter the palace, and also inform Li Jing, who is stationed in Wushuang City and Seven Star City, and King Bimeng to return."

"Minions command!"

Xiao Guizi bowed and left, Emperor Chu held his breath, his eyes flashed, and he asked: "Zhongqing has a clever plan to send troops to meet the Four-Nation Alliance." ”

"Your Majesty, the battlefield is unpredictable, what we will seek is to adapt to the situation, according to the appropriate situation, at the moment, the four-nation coalition forces have not yet arrived, and we don't know much about their situation, so we can't make accurate deployments."

"But Weichen thought that he could take the initiative to attack and besiege them in the Longxiao Empire, so that his strength could also be maximized."

Jiang Shang squinted his eyes slightly, and an indifferent voice sounded, hearing the sound, Emperor Chu fell into thought, curious about what he meant by maximizing his strength.
