The next day, Jiang Ze officially issued a notice announcing the demise of the Chu State. In order to win people's support and facilitate management, Yecheng did not change its name for the time being, but it was no longer the capital, but one of the big cities under the Lie Kingdom.

Jiang Ze sent people to send all the battle reports to King Lie. There was also an extremely important and lengthy letter of appointment. The content was probably to appoint Jiang Ze as the lord of Ye City, Luo Erhu as the lord of Nuer City, and Li Xiuwen as Dong'er.

The city's lord, Wei Sheng was the lord of Zhong'er City, etc. To put it bluntly, Jiang Ze gave almost the entire city of the original Chu State to his own people.

In the past, Jiang Ze's approach was not inappropriate. After all, he was the number one contributor to the destruction of Chu State. This self-appointed letter of appointment was more like a formality. It only required the seal and signature of King Lie. Regardless of whether there was a letter of appointment or not,

Jiang Zedu has three months of autonomy over the entire Chu State, which is equivalent to a prince, and even the Lie King cannot interfere.

But today, in addition to Jiang Ze's letter of appointment, King Lie also had a letter from Su Kouye.

Su Kouye's letter directly poked at King Lie's pain points. With this invasion of Tianzhu, Jiang Ze established unparalleled achievements and became famous far and wide, even overshadowing King Lie. King Lie was unhappy with Jiang Ze in the first place.

After reading this letter, my jealousy became infinitely greater.

King Lie held the letter tightly in his hand, his mouth trembling with anger.

At this moment, Guo Jia entered the office and noticed something strange about King Lie.

"What's wrong with you?" Guo Jia slowly walked to the desk.

Ao Lie glanced at Guo Jia, then pushed the letter in his hand and Jiang Ze's letter of appointment in front of Guo Jia.

Guo Jia picked it up, browsed it quickly, and said bluntly: "King Lie, please don't be influenced by Su Kouye's letter. Su Kouye's words are nonsense. Jiang Ze is loyal to King Lie."

"But look at this letter of appointment. It's not polite at all. Even if he has made extraordinary achievements, he can at most claim a city for himself. But in the end, he awarded rewards to all his younger brothers. This is what he should do.

What did you do?" Ao Lie said displeased.

"Prince Lie, you are serious. He only made reasonable rewards based on the merits of each general. Even if he didn't do it himself, you must reward these cities to those generals. And Jiang Ze helped you draw up the list. Isn't this right?

Has it reduced your workload?”

"I don't need him to reduce my workload, and I don't need him to do my work. He is taking authority, do you know that he is taking authority?" Ao Lie said excitedly.

"King Lie, if the person who destroyed the Chu State was not Jiang Ze but Wei Jing, you probably wouldn't have asked Wei Jing how to reward his subordinates. Your anger now is not directed at things, but at people."

"As long as you know, I just don't like Jiang Ze, not from the beginning." Ao Lie confessed.

"But one Jiang Ze is worth ten Wei Jings. This is an indisputable fact. If you want to occupy the whole territory of Tianzhu as soon as possible, you must use Jiang Ze. With him, you can make your emperor's great cause even further."

Faster and smoother.”

"Then what if he also has imperial ambitions?"

"How can I see it?"

"Because he is Jiang Feng, and the blood of a king flows in his bones."

"Prince Lie, you can't look at things this way. For example, in the original future, didn't Jiang Feng obediently serve as a general in Xichuan for more than ten years? Later, after decades, Jiang Feng gradually became an emperor. It was not so much his

Driven by ambition, it is better to say that the situation and the current situation made Jiang Feng successful. Anyone else would have succeeded. But today's Jiang Ze does not have any situation to become king, and he has never forgotten his ultimate goal, which is

Revenge against the Yan Kingdom."

"Power can make people get lost. If Jiang Ze is given too much power, his desires will gradually

Expansion, one day, he will have the idea of ​​becoming a king on his own."

"Well, although Jiang Ze is a clone, he is really different from Jiang Feng. He will not have any ambitions before destroying the Yan Kingdom."

"Then do you promise? Do you have any divination to determine the future? Can you guarantee that Jiang Ze will devote his life to me?"

"This..." Guo Jia hesitated for a few seconds and sighed, "I really can't guarantee this. If you are so prejudiced against Jiang Ze, I really can't help you."

Guo Jia no longer wanted to argue. From the past to now, Guo Jia had said countless good things for Jiang Ze. But Ao Lie's view of Jiang Ze was always filled with disgust and hatred.

The two fell into silence because neither could convince the other.

Ao Lie felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Guo Jia not speaking. He had always regarded Guo Jia as his best subordinate, even his best partner, but he always said good things for Jiang Ze. Maybe what he said was right.

, Jiang Ze has not yet committed any disloyal behavior, but Ao Lie just doesn't like hearing these words.

And Guo Jia is also a very straight person. He will not deliberately please anyone. He always says what he has to say.

After a long silence, Ao Lie finally gave in. He said to Guo Jia: "Well, let's stop arguing about whether Jiang Ze has ambitions. How about we do an experiment?"

"Experiment? What experiment?" Guo Jia asked curiously.

"I took a look at the military merit points and records. In fact, Luo Erhu's achievements are not much lower than Jiang Ze's. I plan to give the largest city to Luo Erhu. It depends on whether Jiang Ze is willing. If Jiang Ze

If he refuses, he will definitely come to me, so we can see clearly whether he has any ambitions. If Jiang Ze is willing, it means that he is still obedient to me and loyal to me, then I have nothing to say. What do you think?"

Guo Jia did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before replying: "To be fair, this is a good strategy. We can see how Jiang Ze reacts."

"So you agree?" Ao Lie asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have always dealt with the situation rather than the person. I still say that Jiang Ze is really a rare war wizard. As long as he doesn't do anything too extreme, I basically have no problem with it. And the strategy you just mentioned,

It’s not too much, but it can be tested carefully to resolve your doubts.”

"Okay, let's do it this way. Let Luo Erhu be the lord of Ye City and give Dal City to Jiang Ze."

"That's too cruel. Such an approach is clearly to sow discord between the three Jiang Ze brothers. Jiang Ze will definitely have complaints, and it will even trigger conflicts among the various factions of Chu's military headquarters. Now that Jiang Ze has just occupied Chu, the foundation

It is not stable, if there is unrest..."

Before Guo Jia finished speaking, Ao Lie immediately added: "You don't have to worry about this. If there is turmoil in Chu, my troops can intervene. In that way, I can do it in less than three months."

Drive Jiang Ze out of the Chu land and let him continue to lead troops to attack other countries in the land of Tianzhu."

"People are eager to continue fighting before they enjoy much. This is too ugly."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a good time to see if Jiang Ze is loyal."

"Your such partial approach will inevitably make people feel chilling."

"Guo Jia, do you agree or disagree?"

"I can't say that I completely agree, but I don't object. Because I also want to see what Jiang Ze will do when he encounters such unfair treatment. If there is a problem, I can mediate it. It shouldn't be a problem.

What a big problem."

"That's good. As long as you don't object, I can implement it with confidence." Ao Lie suddenly became extremely happy. After all, it was rare for Guo Jia to support Ao Lie.

A sudden thought.

On the other side, in the Menes Empire, a western seaport city, Xiao Yifeng personally came to the naval base and officially issued an order: "Within three days, assemble the twelve fleets and march to the East China Sea."

The Twelfth Fleet of the U.S. Army is the main force of the Imperial Navy. Each fleet has about hundreds of large and small warships. Now that the Twelfth Fleet has been fully invested, this will be the largest investment Xiao Yifeng has ever made. Of course, Xiao Yifeng will not do it without any thought.

A unilateral war against the Yan Kingdom. In a certain sea area at the bottom of the distant Pacific Ocean, Emperor Kun made a strange loud noise and advanced towards the eastern coast of the Yan Kingdom. Its target was the port city of the Yan Kingdom, Ningbo City.

The next day, Jiang Ze received the letter of appointment from King Lie. After reading it, he smashed the long letter of appointment to the ground in front of all the soldiers.

Jiang Ze was so angry that he gasped, but he didn't say anything. When everyone saw this, no one dared to say anything.

Finally, the third brother Li Xiuwen bent down to pick up the letter of appointment, read the content, and frowned: "What's going on? Is there a mistake?"

With Li Xiuwen speaking first, the other generals also plucked up the courage. Wei Sheng, who was more curious, hurriedly walked towards Li Xiuwen and said, "What happened? Let me have a look too."

Wei Sheng was shocked after reading this: "Is it true or not? Luo Erhu was made the Lord of Ye City, and the one given to our leader was the ruined city of Dal City."

Everyone immediately started talking, and most of them were shocked and suspicious, and some people were complaining about Jiang Ze.

"Captain, this must be a mistake."

"That's right, how could King Lie do this?"

Faced with everyone's indignation, Jiang Ze suddenly calmed down and sneered: "Everyone, Ao Lie is worried about me. Do you think I should accept this kind of commission?"

"Inappropriate." Everyone said in unison.

"Yes, it is indeed unacceptable. But everyone, if we refuse to accept it now and go to Ao Lie, will it be considered treason? What do you think Ao Lie will do?"

"This..." Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't explain why.

"You should think about this issue carefully, and then hold a meeting after you have thought it through."

Jiang Ze temporarily left the conference hall, went to the top of the watchtower, and looked at the huge Yecheng.

Feeling the cold wind blowing, and not knowing why, Jiang Ze felt sad inside. The reason why he was sad was not because of Ao Lie's difficulties. Because Jiang Ze knew very well that Ao Lie was narrow-minded and often acted impulsively without thinking.

Looking at the overall situation, Jiang Ze is miserable because of Guo Jia.

Why? Why didn't Guo Jia stop Ao Lie's mindless behavior?

As the number one contributor to the destruction of the Chu State, Ao Lie actually only gave Jiang Ze a ruined city. Moreover, he specially sealed the largest city of Ye to Luo Erhu.

This approach was intended to intensify the conflict between Jiang Ze and Luo Erhu, and to use Luo Erhu to restrict Jiang Ze's development and prevent Jiang Ze from becoming big, lest his achievements would overwhelm his master. This approach seemed clever, but in fact it was

Extremely stupid. You must know that most of Luo Erhu's Flying Tigers are from Chu. And most of the legions under Jiang Ze's control are from Lieguo. If Jiang Ze doesn't get a big reward, then what will he do?

It is difficult for the soldiers below to share the benefits. They sacrificed their lives, shed their blood, and sacrificed so much. In the end, they all followed Jiang Ze and drank the northwest wind. In the future, who will be willing to sacrifice their lives for the Lie King.

Jiang Ze couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Guo Jia, you can't think of the truth that I can think of? Why would you let King Lie do such a stupid thing? I am a small person, but the army has big worries. Such intensification of conflicts,
Chapter completed!
