Chapter 343: Go to the Mansion of the General of the East
"You mean there is something wrong with Zhang Shufen?" Liu Dingguo frowned and said, "Even if there is a problem, we can't do anything about it. Zhang Shufen is my father's most trusted and beloved concubine. Besides, I still don't believe there is anything wrong with her.
"
"I'm just guessing." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"What should we do now?" Liu Dingguo looked at Nangong Aotian and said, "According to the spiritual doctors, my father only has less than two months left."
"Do you know where the power of the second prince and the eldest prince is mainly concentrated?" Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"My eldest brother's main power is in the west of the empire, and my second brother's power is mainly concentrated in the north." Liu Dingguo thought for a moment and said, "Although the west is the closest to the Lion Empire, there is a Warcraft Forest and countless mountains and rivers in the west.
Block it, so it cannot be attacked head-on by the Lane Empire. The westernmost part of our empire is Baker City, you know this."
"I know this." Nangong Aotian nodded and said, "The terrain there is absolutely safe, otherwise the Lion Empire would not attack us from the south."
"My second brother's strength is directly adjacent to that of the Silver Eagle Empire." Liu Dingguo said, "The Wolf Warriors Legion is on the northern border of our empire. Of course, there is also the Demonic Dragon Legion guarding the northwest of our country."
"In other words, the military strength of your two brothers is very close to each other?" Nangong Aotian frowned and thought for a while and said.
"Yes, the military forces of both sides are very close to each other." Liu Dingguo said with certainty, "The most prosperous places in our country are in the north and northwest, where the terrain is good and development is fastest."
"The eastern part of the Chinese Empire is not small, so why haven't they made any plans?" Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"Haha, there is also an army in the east." Liu Dingguo said with a smile, "The army stationed on the eastern border is the Mad Lion Army of the Huangfu family."
"I see." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "I heard that although there are no threats from these big countries in the eastern part of our country, there are many small principalities in the wilderness?"
"Yes. The terrain in the eastern border is very complex. There are many small principalities there, and those small principalities are very restless. For many years, although the Mad Lions have tried their best, they can only guard the border there." Liu Dingguo said helplessly.
.
"I think the current civil strife in the empire is very detrimental to you." Nangong Aotian frowned and thought for a while and said.
"Yes. But now that my father is critically ill, there is nothing I can do." Liu Dingguo said with a frown.
"Okay, I'm going to see the emperor tomorrow and check on his condition first. After all, I am also a spiritual doctor." Nangong Aotian thought for a moment and said, "Although my spiritual power is gone, my medical skills are still very good."
"This is best." Liu Dingguo nodded and said, "I hope you have a better way."
"Next, they chatted for a while. Liu Dingguo left in a hurry. Of course Liu Dingguo was very busy at this time. At this critical moment, on the one hand, he had to keep his power from being eaten up, and on the other hand, he had to deal with some of his
Responsible things.”
"It seems that I have to keep at least these two parts of the empire, the east and the south." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and immediately stood up and walked outside the Duke's Mansion. He wanted to go to Dongfang Fenghuang's house to find Dongfang Xiaotian.
"Why do you have time to come to my place?" Dongfang Xiaotian was quite surprised to see Nangong Aotian coming. This was Nangong Aotian's first time to Dongfang Xiaotian's mansion.
Of course, Dongfang Xiaotian knew in detail what happened to Nangong Aotian some time ago. Now there is no need to hide Nangong Aotian's affairs from Dongfang Xiaotian.
"Grandpa Dongfang, I have something to ask you." Nangong Aotian said as he sat down on a chair in the living room unceremoniously.
"Oh, is there anything important?" Dongfang Xiaotian asked curiously.
"I want to know how good your relationship is with the Huangfu family." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and finally said.
"Haha. In fact, the father of Huangfu Chao, the current commander of the Huangfu Legion, was a general under my father a long time ago. Although the Huangfu family was also a big family at that time, its strength was far from what it is now."
Dongfang Xiaotian said, "Later, my father saw that Huangfu Chao's father was very talented, so he fully supported him. Because the small principality on the eastern border was very restless, Huangfu Chao's father made a lot of contributions in defending the border there at that time. In my opinion,
With my father's strong recommendation, I was finally awarded a reward by His Majesty the Emperor and also served as the commander of the Mad Lion Legion."
"So that's it. So your father was kind to Huangfu Chao's father." Nangong Aotian said.
"It is precisely because of this that when the Huangfu family gradually became stronger, the Dongfang family and I have been getting along very well. Huangfu Chao and I also have a very good relationship," Dongfang Xiaotian said.
"That's good." Nangong Aotian said with satisfaction.
"What are your plans?" Dongfang Xiaotian looked at Nangong Aotian and said, "You know everything that has happened in the imperial capital recently, right? Are you planning to take any action?"
"Not yet, I will make a decision after meeting with His Majesty tomorrow." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said, "The key now is to look at His Majesty's side."
"Yes, I am also very worried now. I don't know how long your Majesty can last." Dongfang Xiaotian frowned and sighed.
"Grandpa Dongfang, I wonder if there is a general you can trust in the empire's mighty army?" Nangong Aotian said suddenly.
"The Tiger's Mighty Legion?" Dongfang Xiaotian looked at Nangong Aotian in confusion, "Are you planning on the Tiger's Mighty Legion again?"
"That's not true." Nangong Aotian sighed and said, "What I want to know is, once something happens to His Majesty, who is most likely to control this mighty army."
"The Huwei Army has a total of 500,000 people and is well-equipped. In the past, they have always obeyed the orders of His Majesty alone. If something happens to His Majesty, they will obey the orders of the new Emperor of the Chinese Empire in accordance with His Majesty's will." Dongfang Xiaotian thought.
He thought about it and said.
"So, do any of your old subordinates hold important positions in the Huwei Army?" Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"Yes, yes. But after so many years, it's unclear whether I can move him." Dongfang Xiaotian thought for a while and said.
"So who are the most important generals of the Huwei Legion closest to now?" Nangong Aotian asked.
"I really don't know about this." Dongfang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I never pay much attention to these things, as you know."
"If my guess is correct, the current Huwei Army is probably divided into two factions." Nangong Aotian frowned and thought for a while and said.
"Are you saying that the eldest prince and the second prince have already started planning the Huwei Army?" Dongfang Xiaotian said with a frown.
"It's too early to tell. These things will be clear when I come back from His Majesty tomorrow." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"If you put it that way, this matter seems a bit serious." Dongfang Xiaotian looked at Nangong Aotian and said with a frown.
"I hope it won't be as serious as I thought." Nangong Aotian sighed and said, "If this is really the case, I think the chaos in the imperial capital is not entirely caused by what happened to me in the mercenary family. I
I think they should start taking action now."
"Otherwise, I will find a time to make an appointment with my old general who is in the Huwei Army. I can at least know something about the Huwei Army." Dongfang Xiaotian thought for a while and said.
"This is best." Nangong Aotian nodded and said, "I wonder what position the general you know currently holds in the Huwei Army?"
"He is a general in the Huwei Army. He is in charge of the 50,000 Huwei Army, but his army has always been stationed outside the imperial capital." Dongfang Xiaotian said.
"Who is in charge of the imperial army now?" Nangong Aotian asked after thinking for a while.
"That's Zhou Qingquan. He is in charge of the imperial capital's 100,000 forbidden troops. These 100,000 forbidden troops are also part of the Huwei Army." Dongfang Xiaotian said.
"So Zhou Qingquan is not just the commander of the bodyguards?" Nangong Aotian said.
"Yes, he is a person whom Your Majesty trusts very much. He has a lot of power in his hands and is responsible for the security of the imperial capital." Dongfang Xiaotian nodded and said.
"By the way, Grandpa Dongfang, you'd better meet Huangfu Chao when you have time to see what he thinks of the current situation." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and continued.
"Okay. I'll go to his place when I get off today." Dongfang Xiaotian thought for a while and said.
"If my guess is correct, it is very likely that someone will take action against you and Commander Huangfu in the past few days." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said, "So you must pay attention to your safety."
"Haha, you don't need to worry about this. Seeing that many people on the Third Prince's side were attacked by the enemy, of course I will take precautions." Dongfang Xiaotian said with a smile.
"I wonder if the eldest prince's people have been attacked by enemies?" Nangong Aotian asked.
"Of course there are." Dongfang Xiaotian said, "But there are only one or two. It seems that they have taken precautions in advance." Dongfang Xiaotian said.
"Well, Grandpa Dongfang, I won't waste your time. I still have some things to deal with." Nangong Aotian stood up as he spoke.
"Okay, you go back and do your work first." Dongfang Xiaotian said.
