Zhongdu, Luoyang.

Empress Palace.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Empress Saint Ann!"

The sound of uniform worship resounded throughout the Jinluan Hall.

This is a huge golden palace. The two emperors sit back to back, with the court facing south and north.

Dongfang was wearing a bright red phoenix robe, with a majestic expression on his face. He sat in the middle of the two people and allowed everyone to bow down and worship him.

Although this empress is a bit tricky, she is recognized by all people in the world.

Especially because he stopped the battle between the two emperors, it was spread all over the world and was regarded as a god in the hearts of countless people.

Oriental shrines are even enshrined in the homes of countless people.

Prestige and reputation resound throughout the world.

As for the government affairs, they should be handled by Kou Zhong and Li Shimin and have nothing to do with him, thus saving worry and effort.

Nominally, she is the common empress of both countries. Although she is not involved in political affairs, to the people of both parties, she is the empress shared by the world.

And as the courtiers bowed to him, a general trend gradually gathered around him.

All the heroes were defeated, and even Kou Zhong and Li Shimin had compromised.

Today, he is considered to be at the top of the world. Although there are some tricks, the general trend is still slowly gathering.

If he wanted to, he might kill Kou Zhong and Li Shimin directly.

If you control the military power and use force to suppress the world like Wu Zetian, you can become a true empress.

"Forget it, let's stop messing around!"

"Even so, in less than three years, my artistic conception of suppressing the world will still be complete!"

Feeling the convergence of the general trend of the world, Dongfang Bubai was delighted.

First win the hearts and minds of the people, then become the empress and stand at the top of the world. Although she doesn't do anything, it is still feasible.

Moreover, on the surface, he is the common empress of both countries.

"Ding! Destiny mission, unify the world, secure all the people, mission points +5000."

Sitting on the Golden Palace, Dongfang Bubai's consciousness sank into his mind, and he was slightly stunned as he looked at the task in front of him.

Ordinarily, in name, the world should be unified.

As the empress, she alone supervised the two countries. Kou Zhong and Li Shimin divided the north and the south, which was equivalent to two major vassal states, and the world was already at peace.

Moreover, because of his existence, Kou Zhong and Li Shimin worked harder to improve their political achievements and benefit the people all over the world.

This task should be considered completed, but there was still no prompt from the system, which made him a little confused.

"Why do you always feel a little worse?"

"Do we really have to wait until true unification to be complete?"

"Or is there still a reason for instability?"

Dongfang Bubai had various thoughts surging in his heart.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

Following two shouts, countless courtiers left the court in an orderly manner.

Kou Zhong and Li Shimin stood up together, turned around and came to Dongfang Bubai's side.

"Dongfang, have a meal with me!" X2

Kou Zhong and Li Shimin spoke at the same time, not giving in to each other, even tit for tat, and no one gave in.

After all, only the winner will own the East!

"Hmph! I am the empress, you teach me how to do things?"

Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly and said, "You two will have dinner with me!"

"Okay!" X2

Li Shimin and Kou Zhong looked at each other and spoke in unison.

However, just as the three of them stepped out of the Jinluan Hall, a loud sound came from the distance of the hall.

"Report! Military information is urgent. Under the leadership of Jieli, the Turkic army of 300,000 troops has crossed the Yellow River and headed straight for Luoyang!"

"Report! Military information is urgent. Under the leadership of Jieli, the Turkic army of 300,000 troops has crossed the Yellow River and headed straight for Luoyang!"

Following the shouts, Kou Zhong and Li Shimin's expressions changed drastically.

Although they set up the imperial court in Luoyang, the central capital, it was ultimately located in Chang'an.

One is still in Jiangnan.

In the land of Luoyang, the combined armies of the two men were less than 100,000.

If Jieli Khan's 300,000 troops surrounded Luoyang, even if they sent a large army to come, they would not be able to rescue them in time.

It is very likely that they will be captured by Jieli.

Once this happens, the world, which has only been peaceful for a few months, will almost fall into a scene of fighting between heroes.

"Come here! Send the order and mobilize soldiers from all over the country to gather in Luoyang!" X2

The voices of Kou Zhong and Li Shimin sounded in unison.

After that, the two of them walked to the map together, looking at the river that was only a hundred kilometers away from Luoyang, and their hearts sank.

Jieli Khan must have hidden his whereabouts all the way through the mountains and ridges, and was not discovered until his army crossed the river.

This is a conspiracy that must have been prepared for a long time, and the plan is to catch the Central Plains by surprise before it is truly stable.

In particular, the main forces of Kou Zhong and Li Shimin were not in Luoyang.

This time is the time of emptiness.

Jieli's 300,000-strong army could capture Luoyang almost easily.

What they have to do now is either to abandon Luoyang, escape, and then lead troops to besiege Jieli.

Either they try their best to delay time, wait for the armies from both sides to arrive, and annihilate Jieli in one fell swoop.

But no matter which method, it takes time.

With a distance of hundreds of kilometers, if it is a rapid march, especially Jieli's cavalry, it will arrive almost in a day, and it will be difficult to have any time to mobilize.

"Dongfang, you immediately take a boat and go south and leave Luoyang!"

After looking at the map, Kou Zhong spoke directly.

Even Li Shimin on the side immediately nodded in agreement.

"what about you?"

Dongfang Bubai was confused. It was definitely impossible to go north. Not even Li Shimin could go north.

When Jieli crossed the Yellow River, he must have crossed Fengling Ferry, Dayu Ferry, and Maojin Ferry. These were the three must-win places for military strategists entering the Central Plains.

The farthest of these three ferries was only over a hundred kilometers away, so they didn't have much time at all.

Only by going south can you have enough time.

But once Jieli is allowed to occupy Luoyang, with strong troops and horses, he can almost plunder the surrounding areas with an army of 300,000, and almost another Wang Shichong rises.

In particular, Jie Li also has Demon Commander Zhao Deyan under his command, whose combat power is comparable to that of a grandmaster. Together with the martial master Bi Xuan and the Demon Sect's forces, he can occupy almost half of the country.

Once this happens, the whole world will probably fall apart again.

"I asked why the task was not completed, so why are you waiting here?"

Dongfang Bubai secretly said that only through this disaster can the world be considered stable.

"I also want to make my name as empress worthy of the name!"

"So, this war must be won!"

Dongfang had many thoughts in his mind and had already made a decision.

"We must stop Jie Li, otherwise if he takes over Luoyang, the world will be in chaos again!"

Kou Zhong's tone was extremely serious. He looked at Li Shimin and continued: "This time I will come and conquer the world. I think no one can do it!"

"Young Marshal, are you looking down on me, Li Shimin?"

Li Shimin said: "You dare to confront Jieli's 300,000-strong army. What do I, Li Shimin, have to fear? Moreover, Jieli poses a greater threat to Chang'an."

"Okay! This time, let us fight side by side!"

Kou Zhong laughed loudly, winked at Li Shimin, and said without any worry: "I didn't expect that you and I, our rivals, would still fight together!"

"This time, it depends on who kills the most!"

Listening to Koo Zhong's heroic and aspirational tone, Li Shimin understood instantly and said: "Okay, let's see who kills more. Dongfang, if there is a war here, there will be chaos. You go south immediately!"

How could Dongfang agree? Once it fails and the world falls apart again, all his efforts will be in vain.

Thinking of this, he frowned and said: "Since the imperial commander is personally conducting the expedition, how can I retreat from the battle?"

"I'm telling you, if you don't let me go, as soon as you leave, I will immediately select three thousand beautiful men to fill the harem!"

"You have to think about it!"

Hearing Dongfang's words, Li Shimin and Kou Zhong all opened their eyes wide and looked at Dongfang in disbelief.

Qi Qi said angrily: "How dare you!"
Chapter completed!
