Another clear report came: "The 200,000 troops at Xueyuguan have been attacked. I beg Your Majesty to kill Ding Jiye and Zhou Ze immediately. If these thieves are not eliminated, the 200,000 troops at Xueyuguan will be disarmed!"
Followed by the southwest frontier army: "Ding Jiye and Zhou Ze are not eliminated, and the 100,000 troops at Wumen Pass in the southwest will be disarmed!"
His Majesty took action...
"The King of the South, Qi Fu, will report to Your Majesty clearly! There are millions of talented people in Da Cang Mountain, guarding the southern territory for Da Cang. What do you ask for? The monarch is benevolent and righteous, and the Ministry of War supports him. If the Ministry of War can also cooperate with the enemy, who of the entire army is willing to fight in the battlefield with blood? Qi Fu would like to tell Your Majesty, these two
If the thief is not eliminated, millions of athletes in Da Cang Mountain will no longer fight for Da Cang!"
"King Nan!!!" His Majesty raised his hands and the coffee table in front of him was reduced to ashes.
His chest rose and fell sharply.
He was still expecting the reaction of the three armies in front. The Dragon City army reacted violently because Zhou Ze had killed 30,000 elite riders in Dragon City. The reason why the Blood Rain Pass reacted like this was because the Blood Rain Pass was once Lin Su's.
The territory guarded by his father is naturally close to the Lin family. The reason for the southwest fog gate is that a hundred thousand troops have just died in the early stage, and it is at a critical moment when the lips are dying and the teeth are cold, and the people feel the same.
But King Nan, you are such a reckless man!
You, who can't hit eight poles, why are you joining in the fun in the middle?
And he is more radical than others. It is a big deal for others to take off their armor. You don’t mention taking off your armor, but you are not fighting for the great blue. Who are you fighting for? What are you going to do? Are you going to make yourself a king?
The weight of Nan Wang is far greater than that of a border town. He has only more than 100,000 regular legions, but there are tens of millions of people in Da Cang Mountain. These people don't know the court laws, they only know Nan Wang.
Lu Tian's expression also changed.
He originally thought that what happened today was just a debate between him and Zhang Juzheng, and he was confident that he could win against Zhang Juzheng. However, things soon went beyond his control.
The appearance of hundreds of court officials outside the palace was the first change.
Immediately afterwards, the three armies attacked and placed heavyweight chips on the opponent's balance.
King Nan stood up and struck a thunderous blow with a decisive gesture.
The balance has completely tilted...
Your Majesty did not move for a long time, and the air became deathly solid...
Finally, His Majesty spoke: "Deliver the message!"
"I'm here!" The imperial edict kneel down outside the palace...
"Zhou Ze, the commander-in-chief of Dragon City, sealed the flag of our army when the country was in danger, causing the loss of Helan City. Thirty thousand heroes died on the battlefield. This was a heinous crime. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Dragon City. He was awarded the title of Bian Bo and was escorted to the capital for trial by the three divisions!
Ding Jiye, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, was unable to control the troops. The sky was angry and people were resentful. He was dismissed from his position as the Secretary of the Ministry of War and was thrown into a prison. After the trial of the three divisions, if the charges are proven to be true, he will be severely punished!
General Li Xiaotian of Dragon City is fair, loyal and brave, dedicated to the country, has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats, and has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of Dragon City!"
An imperial edict, three people, two of them obeyed the law, and one of them was promoted.
On the one hand, it responded to demands from all over the country: You want to kill Ding Jiye and Zhou Ze. The emperor has no objection, but you cannot kill them casually. You need to find out the matter clearly. If what is said in the newspaper is true, you can kill them as you should.
Now, no matter how unreasonable you are, you have nothing to say.
On the other hand, Li Xiaotian was promoted!
This is gentleness, comfort.
Regardless of whether the other three major border towns were pacified or not, Dragon City was pacified anyway...
Under the imperial edict, Longcheng's 100,000 troops cheered in unison.
When Zhou Ze was the commander-in-chief of Dragon City, he deducted military pay, curried favor with his superiors, slackened military equipment, and was bound to be defeated in every battle. In fact, not many people liked such a commander-in-chief. Who among the soldiers didn’t want his team to be majestic?
And Li Xiaotian just met this need of soldiers.
Dragon City regards him as its commander, and everyone in the Dragon City Legion welcomes him.
Zhou Ze, at this moment, had withdrawn from the state of literary enlightenment and was already in despair. With the imperial edict, his whole body went limp. Several generals put special shackles on him and without any delay, he was escorted to the capital.
The supervisor, who was so impressive yesterday, is sick today.
Yesterday, He Shun, the minister of the Ministry of War, who was on patrol like an imperial envoy, left Longcheng and traveled back to Beijing like a bereaved dog at night.
He didn't dare to stay in Longcheng. He was worried that Lin Su would come up with some crooked trick and kill him.
…
The commander-in-chief's mansion is brightly lit.
The new commander-in-chief Li Xiaotian hosted a banquet in honor of his friends.
No women, only brothers!
After three drinks, Zhang Haoran glanced outside the door and lowered his voice: "Brother Lin, although the imperial edict has been issued, I don't expect the courtiers to give up. Is it possible that there will be another change after Zhou Ze is escorted to the capital?"
As soon as these words came out, the place became lively...
Huo Qi said that Ding Jiye is currently being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Qin Fangweng’s story tells us that the Heavenly Prison does not mean the end. He will definitely deny it and blame all the crimes on Zhou Ze.
Li Yangxin said that the joint trial of the three departments is the biggest problem in itself. But I know that none of the three departments are good. No matter what the case is, they will definitely be deformed in seven or eight trials. If it passes the joint trial of the three departments, these two bastards will eventually
If you don't get away with it, then our celebration drink will taste sour.
Qiu Mochi said, therefore, Zhou Ze being escorted to Beijing is definitely not the end of the matter. It might be the prelude to a big war. Brothers, cheer up and fight them for another tough battle.
It can be seen that these brothers have become much more mature after two years of hard work in the officialdom. At least, they are no longer the greenhorns in the officialdom.
Everyone's eyes are fixed on Lin Su, because no matter how mature they are, they must admit one thing, Lin Su is their fixed star in the officialdom.
Lin Su's wine glass was fixed on her lips: "Every brother is speculating about what will happen after Zhou Ze enters the capital. Have you ever thought about another possibility?"
"What?"
"It's possible that Zhou Ze... won't be able to enter the capital at all!"
As soon as he said this, the wine glass in Zhang Haoran's hand suddenly had a crack.
All the brothers looked at Lin Su with a strange meaning...
Zhou Ze, the culprit who killed 30,000 heroes in Helan City on the battlefield, if he escapes with his life, how can the hero return to the underworld? Therefore, he must die!
The three-division review may be deformed!
So what other way can he die?
The most ideal way is to kill him on the road before he enters Beijing!
Now it seems that Lin Su has already considered the issues that the brothers are considering. He has already made arrangements. How to arrange them? Thinking of the more than 20 elusive masters he brought with him when he came to Dragon City this time, what happened?
It seems that one plus one equals two...
Zhang Haoran looked at this, looked at that, and coughed: "Today we are just drinking brother Li's celebration wine. If brothers talk casually, it is strictly forbidden to guess and talk nonsense when going out..."...
Huo Qi understood: "Yes, yes, what's the point of spreading the words at the wine table? Drink, drink!"
The banquet was as fierce as a tiger, and all four brothers got into the table...
They were all drunk, and only two of them were sober during the dinner, namely Li Xiaotian and Lin Su.
"Brother Lin, do we still want to drink?" Li Xiaotian is from the North. His physical fitness has always been stronger than others. Although his literary cultivation is still stuck at the extreme level of literary heart, his battlefield experience makes him a hothouse flower.
Comparable? His literary background is not as deep as Zhang Haoran's, so his drinking capacity is also the first among them.
"Three cups of wine in Wanli Hongchen, a pot of tea in Qianqiu Daye. After drinking the wine in the world between brothers, let's have a cup of tea." Lin Su stood up.
Li Xiaotian's heart moved slightly: "Come!"
The guards came over and helped the four drunken people away. In the teahouse, only Lin Su and Li Xiaotian...
Li Xiaotian poured him a cup of tea: "A pot of tea for Qianqiu Daye... What Brother Lin wants to talk about seems to be of great importance. There is a magic circle here, and brother has also added a layer of cultural protection. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter.
"
Lin Su held up the tea cup: "Brother Li, brothers are speculating that I, Lin Su, may send someone to kill Zhou Ze on the way. What do you think?"
One sentence goes straight into the depths of the soul...
Li Xiaotian slowly turned the teacup in his hand: "You can't do it, he can!"
He is talking about you, Lin Su.
The "him" he is talking about is Ding Jiye.
It is impossible for Lin Su to send someone to kill Zhou
Ze, because he knew that Zhou Ze came to Beijing to send a reminder to Ding Jiye.
Ding Jiye would send someone to kill Zhou Ze, because Ding Jiye knew that as long as Zhou Ze died, he would have a chance of survival.
"The person you are talking about is Ding Jiye?" Lin Su said.
The cup in Li Xiaotian's hand shook slightly: "Do you understand that 'he' is someone else?"
Lin Su stared at him for a long time: "Brother Li, there are some things I didn't want to tell you originally, but you are in a border town and don't know the deepest inside story. Your crises will eventually come one after another. One day, the tragedy of Helan will come back again."
It will happen again, so whether the time is right or not, I have to tell you something that will overturn your entire worldview."
"you say!"
Lin Sudao: "In your understanding, what is the Luo City Alliance?"
"A traitorous alliance! An alliance that humiliates the country! A shameless alliance!" Twelve words, unequivocal.
"Have you ever thought about why they betrayed their country?"
Li Xiaotian was stunned by this question.
In the Los Angeles Alliance, countless righteous people have labeled Cheng as a traitor, but no one has ever really answered the deeper question, that is, why betray the country?
You can say that this is an affair between a court official and Ohsumi, but the signature on the contract is His Majesty.
The court officials have a reason to betray their country, because the land is not theirs. The money given to them by the enemy country, but the treasures are personal. They can use things shared by everyone for their own personal gain. They can always have it.
Your Majesty has no reason to betray the country. The land is his and the reputation is his. Money, beauties and treasures are nothing to him. Why should he exchange the land and reputation for these stupid things?
Your Majesty may have been forced by the situation that day, but in the later period, Li Xiaotian had already regained the four northern towns. In this case, the best option was to go down the slope. But why did Your Majesty want to kill Li Xiaotian in the first place? It had to be Lin Su.
A poem handed down from ancient times in Jindian inspired a civil uprising in the capital, and then he changed his mind?….
Li Xiaotian didn't understand all this.
Today, he could not answer Lin Su's question.
Lin Su said slowly: "The question you can't answer actually has only one answer, and that is the Luo City Alliance. It is not the traitorous alliance you imagined, but a deal..."
The current emperor killed his brother to usurp the throne seven years ago. He gained the throne unfairly, tainted the prince and rebelled, and killed the prince in Jiangdong.
The king of Huainan raised an army, and Da Cang faced civil war.
Your Majesty borrows troops from the Osumi royal family. No, please invite Osumi to invade Da Cang!
When Dayu invaded, His Majesty took advantage of the people's support and ordered hundreds of great scholars to go to the riverside. He denounced the King of Huainan for ignoring the dangerous situation of the country, and persuaded the King of Huainan to lay down his weapons and disband his troops.
Under the heavy pressure of the Holy Way and the fate of the country, the King of Huainan ordered the entire army to pass through Jiangdong and surrendered the throne to His Majesty.
Your Majesty conquered the world, and in return for the "invasion" of Osumi's army, he ceded four northern towns to Osumi...
Li Xiaotian stood up and glared at the south...
A few words tore the worldview he had adhered to for so long into pieces...
One sentence, but it also satisfactorily answered all his long-standing questions...
His parents, his brothers, his sister who committed suicide after being insulted...
Three hundred and eighty-seven pairs of eyes stared at him. For the first time, he felt deep sadness. Once again, he felt deeper hatred. This hatred was even higher than Osumi's military. This person he hated
, but not the Osumi Military...
"How can such a vicious thief be worthy of being a king!" Li Xiaotian said each of these eight words.
"Unless this thief is eliminated, the world will never have peace!" Lin Su added.
Li Xiaotian suddenly turned around: "Brother Lin, you are the first to help the people of the world, and the second to save my life twice, both in public and private, Li Xiaotian's life should be yours, no matter what order you give, Dragon City's 100,000 cavalry,
Follow orders!"
These words are pure loyalty.
No matter what order you give, one hundred thousand cavalry will obey your order!
Including raising the anti-flag and officially starting Lin Sudi's career!
Lin Su shook his head gently: "Don't misunderstand the meaning, I, Lin Su, will never be an emperor in this life!"
Li Xiaotian's heart
Da Tiao: "Prince Chen? Do you want to ensure that Prince Chen ascends the throne?"
"Exactly!"
"I'm not familiar with Prince Chen, but if Brother Lin wants to protect himself, Xiao Tian will follow... When will the army start?"
"Raising troops? Have you underestimated the heritage of a thousand-year kingdom?" Lin Su said.
Li Xiaotian's already elevated blood pressure was effectively reduced...
How easy is it to raise an army?
Not to mention that he still cannot fully control the 100,000 troops at hand. Even if he can control it, it is only 100,000. Compared with the millions of regular troops of the Cang Dynasty, it is not even a fraction!
And he is not a military theorist, he is a strategic commander. He knows that in this world, the change of imperial power is not just about military affairs! It can even be said that the change of imperial power in the Nine Kingdoms and Thirteen States has never been based solely on military affairs.
It sets a precedent.
Because this is a special world.
Three paths run parallel in this world!
The power of literature, the power of spiritual practice, the power of court officials, the power of noble families, the invincible imperial seal in the country, the mysterious "Hidden Dragon Guard" of the Great Cang Dynasty for thousands of years, any of them are on their way to fight against the imperial power.
What stands in the way is that the power they possess is as shallow as paper when faced with an orthodox royal family with deep foundations!…
"I also know how difficult the situation is, but...but...he deserves to die!" Li Xiaotian's voice became hoarse.
"Don't worry, since I dare to go this far, I will have my own arrangements for the rest!" Lin Sudao: "There is only one thing you need to do in front of you!"
"you say!"
"Use Dragon City's 100,000-strong army to seal the northern border and not allow Osumi's soldiers to cross the Helan Mountains!" Lin Su's voice slowed down and he said word by word, "What I'm saying is, under any circumstances!"
"Any situation?" Li Xiaotian was shocked.
"Even if the imperial decree orders you to withdraw your troops, you are still not allowed to withdraw!"
Li Xiaotian's blood surged in his chest: "If one day, the imperial edict orders me to leave Dragon City, I will cut off all connections with the capital and defend the northern border alone!"
"That's it!" Lin Su pressed his hands on the back of his hands.
Li Xiaotian turned his hands over and held him tightly.
This hand, the love of brotherhood.
This grasp is a promise worth ten thousand pounds!
"The sky and the earth are rising, and I am crossing the boat. From now on, the heavy burden of the Northern Territory will be on you. I will give you ten strategies of war, and I will also give you a set of trap formations. With this weapon, I believe you will become famous in the Northern Territory.
A thousand-year-old war god!"
Ten more strategies from the Art of War "Thirty-Six Strategies" were given to Li Xiaotian. In addition, one of Lin Su's three major formations, the "Trapped Immortal Formation", was also given to Li Xiaotian.
…
On the sixth day of July, the sky in the north was clear.
The sun is still blazing in the capital at this moment, but in the northern land, there is already a hint of coolness in the morning and evening.
A strong wind blew up, and the flags on the city walls were flying.
The magic weapon flying boat has been enlarged, and the five major officials from the capital, headed by Lin Su, will return to the capital today.
Li Xiaotian saw each other off from a high platform, and the 100,000 soldiers of Longcheng raised their weapons at the same time and sent them on their way.
The Battle of the Northern Expedition showed the power of the Great Cang Kingdom and the bloody spirit of the soldiers. These Dragon City warriors expressed their greatest respect to these five battlefield heroes who came out of Dragon City and directly recaptured the four towns.
