Chapter 836: Dragon of Fortune
As the first "Human Emperor" who ended the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Dun still enjoyed great prestige in the Liyang Dynasty.

He said he would think about it.

Yuan Benxi couldn't force Zhao Dun, so he gave the order immediately.

However, Yuan Benxi is indeed a talented person who can treat the emperor as a puppet, and he is also worthy of being the number one strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Seeing that Zhao Dun dared to resist him, Yuan Benxi gritted his teeth and began to use all his trump cards.

For a time, public opinion in the court was in an uproar and noisy.

Even Prime Minister Zhang Julu, General Gu Jiantang and other bigwigs in the court were a little confused about whether this "Enfeoffment Order" should be implemented!
Seeing the court in chaos, even normal government affairs began to be affected.

Without any choice.

After delaying for half a month, Zhao Dun finally convened a court meeting to solicit everyone's opinions on whether to implement the "Enfeoffment Order".

After a round of court discussions, Yuan Benxi finally issued the "Enfeoffment Order".

The moment he stamped the imperial edict, Zhao Dun couldn't help but cry out in grief:
"Li Yang is finished!"

At the end of the fourth year of Guangwu.

Xu Fengnian had just finished handling Xu Xiao's funeral when he received six imperial edicts from the Liyang Dynasty.

There was a great uproar in Tai'an City regarding the matter of the 'Enfeoffment Order'.

Xu Fengnian had been hiding in Beiliang and had known about it for a long time.

However, even if he knew about this kind of thing, he couldn't stop it.

At this time, the imperial edict was sent from Tai'an City. Xu Fengnian thought that the emperor wanted to divide the three states of Beiliang into two and give them to himself and his younger brother Xu Longxiang.

As a result, six imperial edicts were sent from Tai'an City at once.

Among these six imperial edicts, there was one given to Xu Fengnian, allowing him to inherit the title of King of Beiliang and continue his legacy.

There were also five imperial edicts, which were sent to Xu Longxiang, Yuan Zuozong, Qi Dangguo, Ye Xizhen and Yao Jian.

These five people were all granted the title of prince, and were in charge of an important border fortress under the name of Beiliang. They were also awarded military and political power.

It can be said that the power of these five people, except for the fact that they do not have the title of prince and the territory they govern is not as large as that of Beiliang, is no weaker than that of Xu Fengnian, the King of Beiliang.

Xu Fengnian was dumbfounded when he saw the eunuch from Tai'an City finish explaining the imperial edict:
"Since when did the adopted son also have the right of inheritance?"

As Beiliang was divided into six parts, the other vassal kings of the Liyang Dynasty also began to feel insecure.

At this point, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but applaud Yuan Benxi's operation:

"If Beiliang is divided into six parts in one go, Beiliang will definitely be in chaos!"

"Inform Cao Changqing that the plan to attack Beimang is temporarily suspended. Next year, we will march east to Liyang!"

The Enfeoffment Order was indeed a good plan, and it was also the greatest conspiracy of all time.

However, the Liyang Dynasty is now facing both internal and external troubles, and it is not a good time to implement the Enfeoffment Order.

"If you want to implement the Enfeoffment Order, you must make the country rich and the people strong, and the main body strong and the branches weak!"

"The Liyang Dynasty is now implementing the 'Enfeoffment Order', which is indeed a bit hasty!"

After learning that the Enfeoffment Order had been issued, Li Yishan finally threw away the chess piece he had been holding for half his life.

He can now see the scene where Beiliang, Liyang, and even Beimang will be annexed by Shu.

"Man proposes, God disposes!"

"Master, I want to go out for a walk again!"

Xu Fengnian, who had just inherited the throne of Beiliang, was bored every day, so he came to Tingchao Pavilion to seek answers from Li Yishan.

Li Yishan's eyes were filled with pity:
"Where do you want to go?"

"Beimang!"

After much thought, Xu Fengnian decided that the future of Beiliang might lie in Beimang.

"Go!"

Li Yishan really didn't want Beiliang and Beimang to have anything to do with each other.

However, Beiliang is now in a difficult situation, and national justice is no longer important at this time.

When Xu Fengnian was preparing to go to Beimang, Cao Changqing also began to lead people to prepare for the great cause of "restoring the Western Chu Kingdom".

At the beginning of the fifth year of Guangwu.

Cao Changqing led his men to Xiangfan City, Qingzhou, to assassinate King Jing'an.

Success! Afterwards, Cao Changqing used Xiangfan City as his base and announced the "Restoration of Western Chu"!
Wang Linquan, the richest man in Qingzhou and the father of Wang Chudong, surrendered to Cao Changqing with millions of property and donated five million taels of silver as salary for the restoration of the Western Chu State.

The name of the country of Western Chu was indeed established, but not only did it lack soldiers and generals, even the future emperor of Western Chu was still in his imagination.

At this time, Cao Changqing "borrowed" 100,000 troops from the Great Shu Kingdom, and marched south along the Guangling River with great momentum.

Two months later.

The Western Chu, which the Liyang Dynasty spent more than ten years to conquer, was re-established by Cao Changqing.

The princes who were enfeoffed to Western Shu by the Liyang royal family were all assassinated by Cao Changqing and his men.

The fifth year of Guangwu, winter!

Under the mediation of the Great Shu Kingdom, the Liyang Dynasty and Western Chu signed a ceasefire agreement, agreeing to divide the country by the river and recover all the territory of Western Chu.

At the beginning of the sixth year of Guangwu.

Ye Xizhen, Prince of Beiyan, and Yao Jian, Prince of Beixuan, jointly issued a statement, announcing their separation from the Liyang Dynasty and the establishment of the "Great Yan" and "Great Xuan" dynasties.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world regarded the two as clowns.

However, in the summer of the sixth year of Guangwu.

The Northern Mang army entered the two countries of "Dayan" and "Daxuan" and threatened Northern Liang.

Xu Fengnian, who was traveling in Beimang, broke through the siege of Beimang's killers, fled back to Beiliang, and asked for help from the Liyang Dynasty!

There was no reaction from the Liyang Dynasty.

The sixth year of Guangwu, autumn!

Su Mingzhe personally led his troops north to rescue his brother-in-law.

The Queen of Beimang originally thought that she had an army of one million and that she could destroy the Kingdom of Shu when it had just been established and had not yet developed any combat effectiveness.

As a result, each of the 5,000 Yulin Guards brought by Su Mingzhe was capable of fighting against a thousand men.

The Queen of Beimang, Huyan Daguan, and Tuoba Bodhisattva, all had to kneel down when facing more than 5,000 first-grade Zhixuan realm and Tianxiang realm masters.

Su Mingzhe led the army and pushed forward all the way. Not only did he recover the three states of Beiliang, but he also attacked the heartland of Beimang and captured nearly 500,000 Beimang cavalry.

If it weren't for the coming of winter, Su Mingzhe would really go all the way north, fight to Beidi City, and capture the Queen of Beimang!
As the three states of Northern Liang became part of the Shu Kingdom, the territory of the Liyang Dynasty was reduced again and again. Both in terms of population and territory, it was far inferior to the Great Shu Kingdom.

Zhao Dun, a member of the Liyang royal family, died in anger.

Yuan Benxi fled back to Shu before the new emperor ascended the throne.

In the seventh year of Guangwu's reign, spring.

Su Mingzhe led a large army to attack the Liyang Dynasty.

Three months later, the army arrived at the city of Tai'an. The new emperor, who had been in power for only half a year, cried and wailed for a long time, and finally had no choice but to submit a letter of surrender.

With the fall of the Liyang Dynasty, Western Chu, which had only been restored two years ago, also announced its incorporation into the Great Shu Kingdom.

This is the general trend!
Cao Changqing was helpless!

The following two years.

Su Mingzhe did not continue the Northern Expedition to Beimang, but continued to prepare the military and political affairs and expand infrastructure projects.

The fortunes of Shu Kingdom are on the rise!

Spring of the tenth year of Emperor Guangwu’s reign.

Su Mingzhe led the army to the north to attack Beimang.

The Queen of Beimang mobilized the entire country and prepared a total of 1.5 million cavalry, which were assembled at the foot of Rouran Mountain, intending to fight a decisive battle with the Kingdom of Shu.

Su Mingzhe descended from the sky and shattered Rouran Mountain with one palm.

The mountaintop that stretched for more than ten miles was smashed into pieces by Su Mingzhe's palm.

The Queen of Beimang looked at her so-called million-strong army and had no choice but to announce her surrender.

With the surrender of Beimang, this continent was unified.

The luck of heaven and earth is gathering.

Jinguan City in Shuzhou is thousands of miles away.

Suddenly a golden dragon fell from the sky and rushed into the belly of Queen Jiang Ni in the harem.

Ye Song, who was guarding Shu, was too late to stop it:
"This is the dragon of destiny..."
