Great commercial capital.
Imperial Palace, Shou'an Hall.
Emperor Shang frowned from time to time as he looked at the piles of memorials and battle reports on the table.
In the northern border, even with the mixed tactics devised by Old Eleven, the situation is still not optimistic.
The middle army of Mobei's three armies has not suffered a single defeat so far, and is much more difficult to deal with than the other two armies.
On the other hand, in the Western Region, good news spread frequently.
What surprised him most was that the old guy Wen Daoran was dead.
"Zhang Sanyu."
Emperor Shang looked at the names that appeared repeatedly in the battle report from the west, and a strange color flashed in his sinister eyes.
The Rakshasa King has temporarily promoted this man to the rank of captain of the Rakshasa Army. It seems that he must send someone to check his details.
Now that wars are raging, the imperial court is at a time when it is time to employ people. If this person has a clean background, he can be used by the imperial court. With such a talented person, it is okay to promote him well.
"His Majesty."
At this moment, a young eunuch walked over quickly and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness, please see me."
Emperor Shang came to his senses and said calmly, "Let him come in."
"yes."
The little eunuch accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.
soon.
Mu Yuanmai walked into the hall, knelt down and saluted, "My son, I would like to pay my respects to my father."
"stand up."
Emperor Shang looked indifferent and said, "If you have anything to do, tell me."
"My son wants to ask my father for an order to lead troops to the north."
Mu Yuan stood up and said seriously, "Now that the war situation in the north is unfavorable, I am in the capital and restless all day long. Therefore, I want to go to the north to share my father's worries like the eleventh brother."
"Going north?"
Emperor Shang put down the battle report in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "The Qingyu Army left by King Xuanwu really needs a new commander. However, the soldiers of the Qingyu Army must be very repulsive to you. You can surrender." Them?"
"My son, it's okay!" Mu Yuan said solemnly.
"That's fine."
Emperor Shang nodded, handed over a tiger talisman, and said calmly, "This is the military talisman of the Qingyu Army. If you can suppress them, I will let you lead the troops north."
"Thank you, Father."
Mu Yuan stepped forward to take the tiger talisman and saluted again, "My son, I will definitely live up to my father's trust."
"Go ahead."
Emperor Shang waved his hand and said.
"My son, please retire."
Mu Yuan saluted again, then turned and left.
In the palace, Emperor Shang looked at the leaving figure of his eldest son and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Now, the mess left by the third child has been almost cleaned up. King Xuanwu handed over the military talisman, and the one in the harem has also entered the cold palace, unable to make any trouble.
The old guys in the court who had followed Lao San were quite sensible and did not actively seek death, thus saving him a lot of trouble.
Half a day later.
Li Garden, inner courtyard.
A boy came quickly and handed over a secret report.
After reading the secret report, Hongzhu had a strange look on her face and handed it to Huanzhu who was standing aside.
"The eldest prince?"
When Huanzhu saw the contents of the secret report, his eyes were full of confusion and asked, "Why the eldest prince?"
"In order to balance the situation, Xiao Ziye said before leaving that His Majesty in Shou'an Palace will definitely use thunderous means to clear out the remaining members of the Third Prince to avoid leaving any greater disaster."
Hongzhu explained, "Among the remaining three princes, King Xuanwu has the most power and controls the Qingyu Army. If it is not handled well, it will definitely become a big problem. Obviously, our majesty handled it very well and abolished the three princes." The prince's biological mother took away King Xuanwu's military power. All those who dared to dissent were killed. The emperor's heart was as deep as a deep. As for the military power of the Qingyu Army, Xiao Ziye said that it would most likely fall on the side of the eldest prince. Because Emperor Shang wants to balance the power of the three princes, he must continue to support the eldest prince."
Nowadays, among the remaining three princes, the fourth prince himself has the greatest prestige and power, and the eleventh prince holds military power and is supported by the Rakshasa King who has a large number of soldiers, so his prestige is also not low.
Only the eldest prince, after what happened with the third prince, his reputation has almost dropped to the freezing point. He only has the support of the Nine Nether King, which is obviously not enough.
However, she did not expect that the person who controlled the Qingyu Army was not the eldest prince's subordinates, but the eldest prince himself.
"Shang Huang, aren't you afraid of the opposition of the Qingyu Army and the people?" Huanzhu asked doubtfully.
"Afraid of shit."
At this time, a vulgar voice came from a room not far away. Then, Maonanfeng, who had been in seclusion for many days, opened the door and walked out, saying, "Wars are raging now. Whoever can fight is a hero. Your big brother If the prince can lead the Qingyu Army to achieve some military exploits, the opposition from the people will soon disappear. Therefore, this is the only time when Emperor Shang wants to support the eldest prince. Otherwise, your eldest prince will never be able to defeat him. body."
"Old man, you know a lot."
Hongzhu looked at the old guy who was finally willing to leave the room and said, "If you don't come out, I thought you would starve to death in there."
"Girl, how can you curse Master to death?"
Mao Nanfeng said with a smile, looked at the fourth girl of the Li family next to Hongzhu, glanced up and down, and praised, "Good material."
He has experimented on both living people and dead people, but not on the living dead.
This fourth girl from the Li family is very powerful.
"Old man, don't think about repaying the pearl. Otherwise, when Xiao Ziye comes back, he will fight you tooth and nail."
Hongzhu warned angrily that this old man was of average quality and he liked to attack acquaintances the most, so she had to be careful.
"Just take a look."
Mao Nanfeng smiled, sat down on the side, and asked, "When will that kid come back?"
"It's not clear yet."
Hongzhu shook his head and said, "However, news came from the hidden stakes in the Western Region that Xiao Ziye has been temporarily promoted to captain of thousands by King Rakshasa. Judging from this,"
"Miss Hongzhu, a letter from the West."
At this moment, another boy came quickly and delivered the second secret report.
Hongzhu received the secret report and was shocked when she saw the contents of the letter.
"What's wrong, Sister Hongzhu?"
On the side, Huanzhu asked doubtfully.
"Your brother wants to become an official."
Hongzhu came back to her senses, her eyes narrowed, and she said, "In the name of Mr. Sanyu, I am returning the pearl. From today on, I will teach you all about Xiao Ziye's behavior. In the future, you may have to play the role of your brother more often." Role."
"I see."
Huan Zhu nodded slightly.
"Insidious."
Next to him, Mao Nanfeng looked emotional and said, "There are already so many masters in the Li family, both openly and secretly, but he still wants to become an official. Is he preparing to rebel?"
"If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Hongzhu said coldly, "The Li family has never thought of rebelling, but the Li family all wants to live. If anyone doesn't let us live, we will fight!"
Even if the opponent is the royal family!
Mao Nanfeng felt the murderous aura in the tone of the girl next to him, and said softly, "No matter what, your decision is my teacher's decision."
Hongzhu turned her head, looked at the serious expression of the old man in front of her, smiled, and said, "Old man, that's quite interesting."
Great Shang in the Western Territory.
The merchant camp.
For many days, the fighting was suspended.
Dashang was waiting for the opportunity, while Tianyu Palace was also recuperating due to the loss of troops and generals.
It was rare that the flags and drums ceased, and the soldiers of both armies were able to take a brief breather.
"King of Triumph, the weapons have been delivered."
This day.
A guard quickly walked into the tent and saluted respectfully.
"So fast?"
The King of Triumph looked shocked and said in surprise.
It's only been half a month.
"The soldier who sent the Zhanma Sword said that the forging of this Zhanma Sword is not complicated, and it is even simpler than the manufacturing process of the bows and spears we use. Therefore, after the forging commanders rushed to make it in various places, they rushed it out in a few days. It was because of the long journey. It's far away, and it takes a lot of time to transport it on the road, otherwise it would be faster." The guard responded truthfully.
"good!"
The King of Triumph immediately issued an order, "Soldiers are very quick, so immediately distribute all the swords to the heavy armored soldiers in the army, and seize the time to practice!"
"yes!"
The personal guard took the order and immediately turned and left.
"In the first month, all flowers bloom, and in the waves, there are waves..."
An hour later, in the military camp, Li Ziye passed by humming a ditty, looking at the Xuanjia Army that had begun to practice on the martial arts field, with a look of admiration on his face.
He is worthy of being the elite among the elite of Dashan, he is really diligent.
"Mr. Sanyu."
At this moment, the King of Triumph came out of the handsome tent. As soon as he left the tent, he saw someone wandering over and asked, "Sir, are you also here to check on the training of the heavy armor soldiers?"
"ah?"
Li Ziye was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered and responded, "Yes, yes, take a look."
Look at your uncle, I'm just passing by for free.
"If the silver-armored cavalry is defeated, sir, take credit for the first victory." King Triumphant looked at the young man in front of him and said seriously.
"hehe."
Li Ziye smiled politely and was embarrassed to say anything.
Things like tactics are the result of the evolution of war. If he doesn't mention it today, someone will think of it in the future.
The only difference is that it is one day earlier and one day later.
He had the memory of two lifetimes, so he could only remember it a few days earlier than others. It was really no big deal.
"Brother Li is truly a genius in this world."
In the distance, Sanzang looked at the enthusiastic training situation in the army and praised it.
On the side, Qingqing's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed across his face. This guy was really a serious problem for the demon clan.
However, Mr. Li is no longer as weak as he was back then, and he is no longer at the mercy of others. Moreover, this is still the military camp of Dashang, and there are two martial kings of Dashang who are at the pinnacle of martial arts. It is even more difficult to kill him.
"Qingqing."
Sanzang looked sideways and said softly, "You have murderous intent."
