Seeing the prime minister's military talisman is like the prime minister coming in person.

As soon as Zhao Zheng showed his military talisman, the three lieutenants immediately became honest. After all, with their courage, they did not dare to disobey Yu Zhong's order.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zheng only felt sad in his heart.

In the Daqian Dynasty, the most authoritative person was not the emperor, but a prime minister who controlled the government. This shows how useless Zhao Zheng was before.

But now that he is the emperor of Daqian, he is confident to take back the country again!

Reshaping the emperor's authority starts from the camp in the north of the city.

Holding Yu Zhong's military talisman, Zhao Zheng immediately issued an order:

"The three lieutenants will listen to the order! Go and dispatch the three armies to me immediately and line up in the school field. The expedition is about to begin, and I want to have a military parade!"

After hearing this, Xiong Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Zuo Army, said nothing. He immediately raised his hands in response and planned to turn around and dispatch his troops.

However, the two related households, Yuan Mou, the right army's Zhonglang general, and Yu Fan, the Zhongjun's Zhonglang general, remained motionless, as if they were deaf. No one listened to Zhao Zheng's command.

Zhao Zheng glanced at the two people, raised his voice and said:

"You two, are you deaf? I want you to mobilize your troops immediately, line up in the school field, and let me parade! Why are you standing there? Why don't you go and do it quickly?"

At this time, Yuan Mou snorted coldly and said arrogantly:

"What time is it now, and you still want to have a military parade? Don't look at how hot it is outside! It will be noon in a while, and there won't even be a shade tree on the school grounds. When the sun shines, everyone will be afraid Pass out from the heat!"

"I have long said that commanding the three armies is not that easy. Not just any cat or dog can be the commander. I don't know who deceived Prime Minister Yu to actually give the military talisman to someone like you who knows nothing about leading troops. It’s useless and ridiculous! It’s really ridiculous!”

Seeing Yuan Mou making rude remarks one after another because he was Yu Zhong's son-in-law, a murderous intent flashed in Zhao Zheng's eyes.

He stepped forward, came directly to Yuan Mou, and said calmly:

"Oh? It sounds like you know how to lead troops to fight?"

Yuan Mou laughed and said: "Nonsense! I am the middle commander of the right army of Daqian. If I don't know how to lead troops in battle, how can I be in this position now?"

Zhao Zheng sneered and said, "I thought you got this position by being Yu Zhong's son-in-law."

After Yuan Mou heard this, he became angry on the spot, stared at his eyes and said:

"Fart! I became a lieutenant general step by step based on my ability. What does it have to do with Prime Minister Yu?"

Zhao Zheng's expression was calm, showing no emotion or anger, and said calmly:

"Since Commander Yuan is so confident, I might as well test you - do you know what is the most important quality for a soldier?"

Yuan Mou looked disdainful and replied casually:

"For a soldier, the most important quality is naturally courage! If you are not brave enough, shrink from battle, and are timid, how can you still be a soldier?"

Zhao Zheng shook his head and said: "That's wrong."

Yuan Mou narrowed his eyes and said again:

"Isn't it brave? Is it loyalty? As a soldier, if you are not loyal enough, you may rebel at any time, which will make you embarrassed."

Zhao Zheng shook his head again: "It's still wrong."

After answering incorrectly twice in a row, Yuan Mou looked a little confused and couldn't help but asked impatiently:

"Then what are the most important qualities of a soldier? I want to see what truths you, a guy like you who can only talk about war on paper, can come up with!"

Zhao Zheng smiled calmly and said in a deep voice:

"For a soldier, the most important quality is obedience! Absolute obedience!"

"The battlefield is changing rapidly and the troops are in chaos. Only by absolute obedience to orders can we ensure that an army has sufficient cohesion and execution ability! Only by obeying orders and prohibitions can we ensure that we do so!"

After saying this, General Xiong Wei, the Zhonglang of the Zuo Army, and Yu Fan, the Zhonglang General of the Zhongjun, nodded slightly. They had to admit that what Zhao Zheng said made sense.

Yuan Mou, however, wanted to save face and sneered:

"I thought you could tell me some great truth, but it's just obedience. I want to ask, which soldier among the three armies dares to disobey my order?"

Zhao Zheng sneered when he heard this and said:

"Commander Yuan just now, didn't he obey my order? If the soldiers of the three armies are like Commander Yuan and refuse to obey orders, how can my team have cohesion?"

Having said this, Zhao Zheng looked into Yuan Mou's eyes and asked again:

"Now I ask you again, I want to have a military parade, will you agree?"

Yuan Mou was suddenly cornered by Zhao Zheng and froze in place. If he agreed to Zhao Zheng at this time, it would be equivalent to giving in to the puppet emperor and slapping himself in the face.

However, if he openly resists the order, he will violate the iron law of the military and have a negative impact on the three armed forces.

After struggling again and again, Yuan Mou became worried and secretly gritted his teeth and said:

"Huh, he's just a cowardly puppet emperor. Why am I afraid of him? I'm going to fight him to the end today. With my father-in-law supporting me, what else can he do to me?"

After thinking about it clearly, he immediately said to Zhao Zheng with a straight face:

"The military parade is okay, but not now! The weather is hot now. In my opinion, it is not too late to wait until the sun goes down in the evening and then have the military parade!"

This was what Zhao Zheng was waiting for. When he heard Yuan Mou's answer, he sneered and said:

"By saying this, Commander Yuan refuses to obey my order?"

Yuan Mou said proudly:

"This order of yours is really ridiculous, so what if you don't obey it?!"

Zhao Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I have the guts!"

Before he finished speaking, there was only a "clang" sound, and Zhao Zheng had already pulled out the sword from his waist like lightning.

This sword blows hair and breaks hair, cuts iron like mud, the blade is as cold as autumn water, and the blade shines like cold stars!

I saw Zhao Zheng holding the handle of the knife with both hands and slashing at Yuan Mou's neck. A cold light passed by, and Yuan Mou's head fell to the ground as a result of the right army's middle man!

Seeing that the dignified Right Army Lieutenant General and the son-in-law of the current Prime Minister Yu Zhong was so neatly beheaded by Zhao Zheng with a sword, everyone in the camp in the north of the city was shocked!

On the side were Xiong Wei, the Zhonglang General of the Left Army, and Yu Fan, the Zhonglang General of the Zhongjun Army, including the generals and soldiers standing in line. They were all stunned and looked at the scene happening in front of them in disbelief!

Is this still the rumored useless emperor?

Is this still the uneducated royal scum?

When did he become so resolute and decisive?

At this moment, the three armies were shocked!
