"Commander, this bastard is devoted to the imperial court." Long Zhishan said from the side.
The five generals of Hetao are all called commanders within the military of Hetao. To the imperial court and the three major aristocratic families, in view of the strong strength of Hetao, they are often called this way, which is to give Hetao a face. Of course, in Hetao's current situation,
Since Haotian has been named the King of Jingbei, it makes sense for Xin Ke and others to call him commander. However, Chi Zhongtian always talks about being a general. It is obvious that in his heart, Hetao is just a friendly army.
Dugu just smiled indifferently: "Tie Shuai's subordinates really have some backbone."
Xin Ke smiled and said: "The more courageous you are, the more tragic you are."
Long Zhishan asked in confusion: "Two marshals, since this Chi Zhongtian is loyal to the Qingfeng royal family, he also has some rules for leading troops. If he leaves this person behind, he might become a problem for me in Hetao. You two
Why doesn’t the commander keep him?”
Dugu laughed and said: "This man is loyal and loyal, and he has the demeanor of an iron-blooded man in our empire. No matter what our stance is, such people are worthy of respect. The dispute between us in Hetao and Qingfeng is, in the end, just an internal matter in our empire.
How can you use such despicable means? Zhishan, a scholar should do something and something not to do. If you are facing the surrounding foreigners, you can be forgiven for doing whatever it takes to achieve your goal. If you are facing your own passionate and iron-hearted people,
Brothers and sisters, all of us actually use such methods. Even if we succeed, we will definitely be reviled by future generations in the future. I, Hetao, have always been upright and aboveboard, and we cannot allow others to grasp such a reason."
Xin Ke said nonchalantly: "I, the Hetao soldiers, are very brave, and a mere Chi Zhongtian, how can I block the footsteps of our Hetao army? Even if the iron commander is not dead, I, Hetao, will not be afraid. Moreover, this person can be regarded as a
For a man to leave his life is to leave an extra part of his strength and blood for our Chinese people. This man is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so he might be useful in the future."
When Dugu's messenger arrived at the Hetao Camp in Zhuli County, Haotian already knew that the Ji Le coalition army in Jinyuan County had retreated at night. Not only Zhuli County, but also Jin Qiliang from Dudong County also led the army at the same time.
Withdrew, after joining up with the army at Yelu Border, they retreated all the way to the capital city of Ruzhou before stopping. Yao Jinxi on the middle line and Yelu Minghui on the northern line joined forces to garrison the dilapidated Xuzhou.
In just a few days, the situation in the southeast has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Northeast Allied Forces of 300,000 people and the Eastern Japanese Army of 50,000 people, with Xuzhou Fucheng and Ruzhou Fucheng as the corners, are fully prepared for possible attacks in Hetao. The Holy Sect of Paradise
One hundred thousand soldiers of the Minghui Army quickly moved south, and after crossing the river, they once again controlled the still blank Jiangnan Road. The Pinglang Army moved to the dilapidated Shouzhou Fucheng, and the Zhu Zhao Army was stationed in Raozhou. In view of the current severe situation, the Paradise Saint
The teaching recruited some veterans from the three armies of Zhu Zhaominghui and Ping Lang, and added them to the reserve soldiers from Yangzhou Road, and reluctantly formed the Yanlegi Army, stationed between Raozhou and Shouzhou. Cheng Xianqing and Bing Heng led the second army
One hundred thousand troops were stationed in the Meizhou area on Yangzhou Road as the total reserve force for the entire defense line. The Japanese pirate leader Ogame Saburo was appointed as the deputy commander of the navy by the Eastern Japanese, and led the 50,000 Japanese pirate navy to slowly withdraw from the Huai River and enter the Ryukyu Islands in the East China Sea.
Rest. Kato Taka, who escaped alone, was surprisingly not severely punished. He is still the marshal of the Eastern Japanese Navy, but the Eastern Japanese Navy now only has more than 50,000 people, which is in decline compared to its heyday. However,
After all, Dongbo's naval base is very strong. As long as they are given a period of time, they will surely be able to slowly regain their vitality.
The decisive battle in Yuzhou, which lasted for four months, finally returned to the pre-war situation after each side lost 700,000 troops. However, after this battle, most of the elite power of the Qingfeng royal family had been consumed, and the vitality of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty had been exhausted.
Seriously injured. Although the Hetao also suffered major losses, the gains were even greater. The Holy Bliss Sect's strength was not damaged and it was getting stronger. Because of this, cracks began to appear in the originally relatively stable alliance between the two sides.
"Cassimbas has a good plan. Both sides suffered losses in the Yuzhou decisive battle. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, in order to stabilize his position, he must either eliminate dissidents internally and take power back into his hands. Or he can send troops to conquer, transfer internal conflicts to the outside, and use victory to
Consolidate your own power. The Auxiliary King has just ascended the throne and his team is not strong. He needs the support of powerful factions. Therefore, it is impossible to eradicate dissidents, so he can only choose to attack externally. In this way, the Paradise Alliance is waiting for work, but it is not easy.
Young Master. This old bastard is still alive after suffering such serious injuries. He really thinks he is an immortal Xiao Qiang." Feng Jing cursed bitterly.
In fact, the imperial court also stated that there is no other way. It is also a good choice to recuperate and slowly erode the power of the Bliss Alliance in the future. However, now is the time when the Bliss Alliance has been severely damaged. If you cannot strike while the iron is hot, then wait for the Bliss Alliance to recover and eradicate them.
, I am afraid that a greater price will be paid. Therefore, this point is naturally not considered by Haotian and others.
Luo Xiang said with a smile: "Why should the commander be angry? Since the auxiliary king is determined to conquer the Bliss Alliance, we might as well take a look at his abilities. The auxiliary king has some means to win over people's hearts, but in terms of military matters, he is mediocre.
Hehe, if we can take advantage of the confrontation between the imperial army and the Elysium Alliance to bite Cassimbas a few times, that would be perfect."
Xuanji also had a smile on his face, and the generals in Hetao were all in a good mood recently. Haotian sat down and opened his mansion to formally proclaim the king, which clarified the status of Hetao in a great sense. Now Hetao can completely ignore the court's orders and truly become a
Xuanji felt that it was a great honor for him to be able to assist a generation of emperors.
After hearing what Luo Xiang said, Xuanji couldn't help but smile and said: "Sir, this time my lord is going to Tiandu Shengjing, why don't you follow him all the way? Our Hetao is now full of trees. If someone wants to do harm to our lord, I'm afraid it will be dangerous.
.”
Luo Xiang said nonchalantly: "What danger could there be? My lord and Commander Xin escorted tens of thousands of soldiers from the Guards Corps and Qinglong Corps back to the Holy Capital of Heaven. This is a great achievement.
Prince Zheng, under such circumstances, he does not dare to openly deal with the lord. As for mobilizing troops privately, our fifty thousand elite cavalry are not vegetarians. Besides, Xin Jiao and other four mistresses plus Miss Qiu Mu have also been accompanying the lord.
Right and left. With them here, it is simply impossible to assassinate the lord."
The Bliss Allied Forces retreated, and Blood Kill took advantage of the opportunity to follow up, and by the way rescued the remnants of Liu Gelong of the Green Dragon Army in the Baotong Mountain area. It happened that the auxiliary king's imperial edict came, and Haotian led 50,000 elite cavalry and took the Imperial Guard Army with them.
More than a thousand soldiers and the Qinglong Legion went to the Holy Capital of Tiandu to participate in the celebration of the new emperor's enthronement. However, Luo Xiang only ordered Dugu and Xingke to accompany them. Of course, Xin Jiao and others were among them.
Feng Jing said strangely: "Tiandu Shengjing is the foundation of the royal family. The princes and ministers there are basically very unfriendly to us in Hetao, and Du Shuai and Xin Shuai are not people who can swallow their anger. In case, they are in Tiandu
What should we do if Du Shengjing causes trouble?"
Luo Xiang laughed and said: "When we went to Tiandu Shengjing, we didn't go there to be grandsons. We in Hetao have never been grandsons in all these years. If someone dares to provoke us in Hetao, we will naturally not let them bully us.
Letting the two of them go to Tiandu Shengjing to make some noise is also a way to let the princes and ministers in Tiandu Shengjing know that we in Hetao are no longer the little people who could be manipulated when we first stepped into Tiandu Shengjing three years ago.
As for the reason why we don’t accompany you, it’s because we don’t want to be someone else’s knife. Think about it, this time the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely discuss the issue of sending troops. My lord has always been straight-headed, so maybe others will assign some tasks then.
, and he agreed without saying a word. If we went along, because of the lord's favor, he would say softly, and we would probably have to agree to him again. If we didn't go, when the lord comes back, we would join forces
Even if it sounds alarmist, we will definitely be able to find a method that is most beneficial to our Loop in the end. Wouldn’t that be better?”
Xuanji smiled and nodded. Ginger is still hotter than ever, as expected.
On August 2, Haotian's convoy arrived at the Holy Capital of Tiandu. In addition to the more than a thousand surviving soldiers of the Imperial Guard Corps, there were also more than 20,000 soldiers of the Qinglong Army. As for Chi Zhongtian's Northern Army, there were more than 10,000 soldiers.
The soldiers were about a day's journey behind, but they would definitely be able to reach the main hall where the auxiliary king was enthroned on August 4th.
"King Jingbei, Xiang has been waiting here for a long time." Haotian's motorcade had just arrived at the north gate, and Xiang Xing had already greeted him. Behind him were Anbian Hou Ma Ying and Xiangfu Hou Huang Jie.
It can be regarded as knowing people well and appointing them well. Although the military general with the highest official rank in Tiandu Shengjing is Liu Nanqiu, the auspicious king in the imperial edict of the Yinglie Emperor, followed by Anle Wang Liu Nanshang and Xiang Xing, the commander of the Suzaku Army, but Xiang Xing and Haotian
Since they have a good relationship, they are naturally the best people to come to greet Haotian. As for Ma Ying and Huang Jie, who just arrived in Tiandu Shengjing a few days ago, these are the imperial colleagues that Haotian rescued from Xuzhou, and they can also be regarded as Xiang Haotian.
Show your kindness.
Haotian smiled and said: "General Xiang, don't call me King Jingbei, otherwise I will have to call you Army Commander or Zhongyong Hou. How unfriendly does this sound?"
Xiang Xing deliberately lowered his voice and said, "This is meant for outsiders to hear. It's just that you are now a prince, and I'm afraid I won't be able to reach you."
Haotian said quickly: "Look at what you said, no matter what time, I, Haotian, am the same Haotian who fought in the Dingzhou battle, and I am also the Haotian who entered the Tianji Valley with you. Of course, I also believe that you will always be the same Haotian.
That Xiang Xing.”
"The Marquis of Anbian, Ma Ying, and the Marquis of Xiangfu, Huang Jie, pay their respects to King Jingbei." Ma Ying and Huang Jie also stepped forward and saluted.
"You two princes, please don't be too polite." Haotian returned the courtesy.
Xiang Xing chuckled and said to several people: "Prince Jingbei is tired from his journey, so Xiang should accompany him back home first. The two princes are Liu Gelong, the deputy commander of the Qinglong Legion, and the Qianqi Commander, who represents the Imperial Guards.
Meng Hong from Qianhu is also among the team. His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince is about to summon them, so the two princes might as well take them to see His Highness first."
Ma Ying and Huang Jie nodded, and ordered their own soldiers to bring all the remnants of the Green Dragon Legion and the more than a thousand soldiers of the Imperial Guard Corps to the Imperial Guard Corps' original station in Tiandu Holy Capital. They led Liu Gelong and
Meng Hong and several lieutenants from the Qinglong Legion went to the palace.
Haotian and Xiang Xing each led their own horses and walked in the front, followed by Haotian's two thousand soldiers and Xiang Xing's one thousand soldiers. Haotian's women walked behind them.
"Your Majesty, An Yongchang is still the Minister of Household Affairs." Xiang Xing said in a low voice.
"What?" Haotian was shocked and forced himself to lower his voice: "Didn't I have someone inform the King of Assistant Government and explain An Yongchang's true identity?"
Xiang Xing smiled bitterly: "Zhu Bingyang and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command have all been buried alive. There is no real evidence at all. Caifeng under King Luo Qing quietly searched An Yongchang's residence several times, but not even a hair was found.
Didn't get it. At this time, the auxiliary king has no evidence and is not willing to kill the ministers in order to get the blame."
Haotian said doubtfully: "Even if this is the case, An Yongchang should be taken down, or at the worst, he should be under house arrest with his powers reduced."
Xiang Xing shook his head: "You should know that An Yongchang and the King of Assistant Government have been old friends for more than ten years, and they have an irresistible relationship. Moreover, An Yongchang doesn't know what to say to the King of Assistant Government this time.
The king actually let him go."
Haotian let out a long breath. He had never expected such a situation in the Holy Capital of Tiandu. Thinking of what Luo Xiang told him, An Yongchang was most likely to be Lingxu Ninde Kang Xinzhi among the eight masters of the evil way.
Haotian just had a huge headache.
"Jiao, your husband's safety can only be left to you." Haotian said to Xin Jiao behind him.
Xin Jiao didn't say anything, just smiled. This was the first time she showed up in public after returning to Tiandu Shengjing. She used to be a famous brothel prostitute in Tiandu Shengjing, although Hetao never regarded her as an outsider.
But walking on the street, she still felt a little unnatural.
Although Xiang Xing seemed rough, his mind was quite delicate. When he saw Xin Jiao acting like this, although he didn't know what he was thinking, he smiled and said, "My lord, you have the imperial edict from the late emperor, and you are already the emperor."
The title of the prince has been equal to that of the heads of the three major families. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent the Yunduo Golden Edict to Hetao as early as two days ago, waiting for you to fill in the names of the princess and concubines. When the time comes, forget it.
It’s Xiang who must bow when he sees these girls.”
Haotian smiled slightly. He didn't know about this yet, but he was not surprised. When he honored Jingbei Marquis and Jingbei Gong, there were many imperial edicts issued by the court, asking Haotian to fill in the names of his wives and concubines and submit them to the imperial court for the imperial edict.
Grade. However, at that time, Haotian considered that he was not officially married, and his relationships with several women had not been straightened out, so he did not fill it out. However, this time the imperial court directly issued the edict to Hetao, not knowing what God would do.
How to fill it out.
"Whatever, it's God's will to fill it out anyway. Besides, don't you still believe in God's will?" Haotian thought in his mind.
