The morale of the more than a thousand Forbidden Army soldiers was high and their military appearance was solemn. Perhaps because they had just won a great victory, they were filled with audacious killing intent and their sharp edges were revealed.
Dragon flags were flying, umbrellas, flags, harems, and banners were surrounding him, showing the majesty of the emperor and making the eyes of the frontier generals twitch.
The imperial guards who led the way spread out like a tide. The young emperor, dressed in luxurious silver armor, majestic and majestic, with an aura as powerful as the abyss and the sea, which made people feel admiration, rode lightly on horseback and came slowly.
Behind the emperor was the very familiar figure of the frontier general, none other than Grand Master Wang Xiao.
A trace of joy flashed in Shi An's eyes, and without saying a word, he led all the generals to kneel on the ground and said respectfully:
"The general is waiting, welcome the Holy Master!"
When the generals saw Wang Xiao next to Xiao Cheng, they felt a little weak. At this time, they were frightened by Xiao Cheng's power, and they lay low on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
Xiao Cheng glanced at the generals, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"When I came to the Yongzhou camp in person, I was in the army. Now that the war is urgent, we should avoid all these red tapes between the monarch and his ministers!"
"Yes!" All the generals responded in unison.
Xiao Cheng didn't say anything more and turned around and said:
"General Zhendong!"
Shi An immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said:
"The end is here!"
"The war is urgent, raise your account quickly and gather your generals!"
"yes!"
As soon as the order was given, the military drums sounded immediately, and bursts of rumbling sounds resounded throughout the Yongzhou camp.
Xiao Cheng, surrounded by the generals, walked into the commander's tent, and without saying a word, he took the position of commander in a bold move.
Wang Xiao, who was following him, had a calm expression and seemed to have no objection at all.
This move made the hearts of the generals below suddenly jump!
Previously, the generals were not well-informed. When they heard that His Majesty and Grand Master Wang Xiao were visiting the Yongzhou camp in person, they all thought that the news from the capital was wrong. Grand Master Wang Xiao had not lost power at all. When the border troops refused to comply,
With the order, the emperor came with him.
But when they saw this posture, they immediately felt that something was wrong.
Today's Majesty is not only very different from the fool in the rumors, he even has a vaguely arbitrary attitude in front of Grand Master Wang Xiao.
From this point of view, I am afraid that the previous news about changes in the situation in Beijing is not false!
Grand Master Wang Xiao, who has been in charge of the Yun Kingdom for twenty years, was really turned around by this little emperor who was not yet in his prime. But just looking at Wang Xiao's appearance now, it seems that the little emperor has no intention of killing everyone.
…
Suddenly, the thoughts of the border generals suddenly arose.
Xiao Cheng sat in the coach's seat, glanced at the generals present, and suddenly scolded in a cold voice:
"Why don't you respect the imperial order?"
The sudden scolding made the generals in the tent startled, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to reply.
Xiao Cheng's eyes were sharp, he scanned the generals and said in a cold voice:
"Every urgent report on the military situation in the northern border has been sent to the Central Government! Didn't any of you people see it? At this time of national crisis, you must respect your own troops and refuse to dispatch them! What else can you give me?
You are so shameless in asking for the concession of the four states of Li Di forever! The imperial court supplies it and the people support it. Is it for you to negotiate terms with me and the imperial court at this time?"
The generals who thought they would be appeased by the gentle words were scolded by Xiao Cheng. They were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned red, they looked ashamed, and they lowered their heads and remained silent.
Most of the frontier generals are military men who only care about fighting. The honor and disgrace of their family and country, and protecting the country and the people are the concepts deeply engraved in their hearts.
Although many of them had been aroused by Tong Tianhua's deceitful words before and were greedy in their hearts, it did not mean that they did not have a sense of shame.
When they heard Xiao Cheng's angry rebuke, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to reply!
Tong Tianhua, who was hiding among the generals, looked at the furious Xiao Cheng and the frightened generals around him. His eyes, which had been a little gray before, suddenly lit up.
Xiao Cheng led Wang Xiao here. In the eyes of the generals, he was actually revealing to the border army that he had no intention of pursuing the case. As long as Xiao Cheng continued to comfort him with gentle words, he would definitely be able to conquer the border army in one fell swoop!
Tong Tianhua originally felt that he had no chance, but he didn't expect that the little emperor would be so angry and make many generals feel sad. Isn't this a God-given opportunity?
He subconsciously glanced at the generals in the tent, winked at a few people, then gritted his teeth, stepped forward first, and held up his hands to speak.
But before Tong Tianhua could say anything, he heard Xiao Cheng's cold voice and interrupted him.
"General Yangwei, Tong Tianhua? Just in time, I'm looking for you!"
Xiao Cheng didn't wait for his reply, slammed the table and said angrily:
"It's you who spreads rumors in the army and boosts morale? What crime should the generals deserve if they are deceived by you?"
Xiao Cheng stood up, his eyes full of murderous intent, and said in a deep voice:
"Tong Tianhua, do you plead guilty?"
Tong Tianhua faced Xiao Cheng directly, and his fierce and majestic aura made his chest stagnate, and he felt a sense of fear in his heart.
But after all, he felt that there was someone behind him and had confidence in his heart. He gritted his teeth suddenly and said:
"Your Majesty, there are some things we don't say, but we all know in our hearts! Are we asking for a reward? No, we are just asking for a way to survive. Are we really so unforgivable?"
Having said this, he paused, and then said with a tragic tone:
"For more than ten years, our frontier army has been fighting in the north and south to protect the territory of the Yun Kingdom. These four states were obtained with the lives of our frontier army soldiers! Your Majesty can sit on the throne of the emperor and enjoy wealth and honor in Zhongqing City, isn't it?
When many generals in the tent heard what Xiao Cheng said, they couldn't help but frown on their downcast faces.
A trace of joy flashed in Tong Tianhua's eyes, and he immediately argued:
"Your Majesty, can't you see the sacrifice of our frontier soldiers?"
As long as you seize this excuse and label the little emperor as "ignoring the achievements of the border troops", so that the generals will be dissatisfied, and then someone from your own side suddenly kills the little emperor...
Haha, the emperor died in the tent of the frontier army commander. The generals of the frontier army just didn’t want to rebel, but there was nothing they could do!
Xiao Cheng stared at Tong Tianhua with a serious face and said in a deep voice:
"I have never denied the merits of the border army! However, it is not only the soldiers of the border army who have paid for the security of the Yun Kingdom's territory. The food and grass that the soldiers of the border army eat come from the hard work of the people and the payment of taxes and gifts! You
The armors worn and the weapons used were forged by craftsmen day and night! The various materials used were all gathered together by officials from the government and the government and then allocated!"
Xiao Chengyue spoke louder and more confidently, and finally glanced at the generals present and said:
"Do you think that by ignoring the hard work of the government and the public, taking all the credit for yourself, and then sitting back and watching the enemy invade, is it worthy of the food you eat? Is it worthy of the armor and weapons you wear?"
As soon as these words came out, the dissatisfaction of the generals who had just felt a little uncomfortable immediately dissipated, their faces became even more ashamed, and they all lowered their heads.
The generals of the border army, in order to keep their official positions and futures, this time they sat back and watched the enemy's invasion, which was really a bad move. No matter how great their achievements were, as long as this was mentioned, the generals were too embarrassed to refute.
Tong Tianhua, who had always been quite confident in his own words, couldn't help but hesitate at this time. He was silent for a moment, knowing that there was no way out. He felt cruel in his heart, and immediately put his right hand on the sword, facing the generals, and said seductively:
"Little emperor, don't say anything more! I know that you are now consciously in charge of the world, and seeing that our border troops are not under your control, you are deliberately looking for excuses! Brothers, if you don't resist at this time, you will just sit back and wait for death! In the future, the emperor
If we liquidate, we might end up confiscating our family and annihilating our clan!"
When all the generals heard this, they could not conceal their shock and looked at Tong Tianhua blankly.
The next moment, a harsh sound of a long sword being unsheathed sounded in the commander's tent.
The generals were suddenly startled, as if they were waking up from a dream, and they drew out their swords one after another, showing alert expressions on their faces.
