"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed..." The old eunuch began to stand there and kept following the imperial edict.
Below, the fourth prince, Wang Yu and others were kneeling there calmly and waiting for orders.
The person who came this time was not the Eunuch Hai who appeared last time, but just an ordinary old eunuch, or even an old eunuch with no cultivation. In the palace, there are still only a very small number of eunuchs with martial arts skills.
Last time, it was because one of the two parties involved was Ling Donglai, a master of heaven and man, and the other was Lu Shenmo, the god of war in the great blue, so Eunuch Hai was sent to deliver the oral message.
This time, there was naturally no need to dispatch Eunuch Hai to deliver the order in person. An ordinary old eunuch was enough.
The content of the imperial edict was probably that Emperor Cang expressed his disappointment and dissatisfaction that the mighty imperial army fell into the hands of a group of bandits.
Immediately afterwards came the punishment. Although on the surface it was just a college exam, and failure should be punished by the college, but with so many soldiers and horses lost, how could the court not express it!
The fourth prince and Sima Qingrou were punished to go to Shanxi to suppress the Northern Army, while Wang Yu and Zhao Kuangwei were punished to join the rebellion army, and they could only return to the academy after atonement for their crimes.
Moreover, even if they are lucky and make great achievements as soon as they get there, they still have to stay in the army for at least half a year.
Regarding this so-called punishment, Wang Yu could only say, what kind of punishment is this to the fourth prince?
At this time, if the fourth prince returns to Kyoto, he will be in real trouble! Going to the Zhenbei Army, although the war is about to begin, seems like punishment, but for the current fourth prince, it is actually a good thing! Even if you grasp it well, you may win a turning point.
Before the old eunuch arrived, Wang Yu had already received the news from his family, and I believe others around him must have received it as well.
During the time they were suppressing the bandits, the situation in Da Cang was so turbulent that it almost turned into a pot of porridge.
Beidi is really going to take action this time, and even the Great Chanyu in the Golden Tent Palace has also been dispatched. It is said that several members of the Sifang Qunsha List have appeared in Northern Xinjiang.
Although there are only thirty-six people in the Four Directions Group Evil List, it is precisely because of the small number of people in this list that it also includes masters from the four directions: Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, and Beidi. Therefore, almost all the people on this list are not simple, and they are not necessarily worse than the Dragon and Tiger Rankings of the Seven Great Dynasties of the Central Plains.
The Royal Court of the Golden Account represents the location of the Great Chanyu of the grassland and can order the grassland to be settled. However, the grassland is now torn apart, and there are several forces that are not much worse than the Golden Tent. If you don't want to obey, there is no need to obey the orders of the Golden Tent.
The Great Chanyu in the Golden Court is like the Emperor of Zhou in ancient China. However, although the Golden Tent Royal Court can no longer command the grassland, it is still one of the largest forces on the grassland. In this regard, it is much stronger than the Emperor Zhou.
But even so, the Golden Tribe Royal Court is still the face of the entire grassland. If the Golden Tribe Royal Court is dispatched, other large tribes will not watch. Therefore, a terrifying war in Northern Xinjiang is about to break out.
Next, the Zhendong and Zhenbei armies were very busy. There was even news from the family that Chu Xizhao had led 300,000 imperial troops to mobilize to the mountains.
Although there will be Zhendong Mansion to attract some of the firepower from the grassland, Zhenbei Mansion alone is still a bit weak when facing many grassland forces including the Golden Tent.
The Northern Xinjiang defense line stationed by the Zhenbei Army is too important to Da Cang. If the Northern Xinjiang defense line is broken, Shanxi will completely become Beidi's racecourse.
As soon as Beidi on the grassland moved, the Zhendong Army, Zhenbei Army and even the 300,000 forbidden troops led by Chu Xizhao were all attracted there. Almost half of the most elite force that the Da Cang court could use was gone. At this moment, a series of monsters, ghosts, and snakes jumped out.
The first to take action were the three kings, King Wei, King Jing, and King Cheng. They have waited for this opportunity for too long.
Many years ago, if the external troubles in the imperial court had not affected Emperor Cang's energy, the three kings might not have been qualified to survive from Emperor Cang's hands until now. It was precisely because of the foreign invasion of the imperial court that they had a chance to breathe and had time to develop and grow.
However, as they have grown stronger in recent years, Emperor Cang has reached the limit of his patience. If they don't take action, I'm afraid Cang Emperor will take the initiative to take action against them.
It is precisely because of this that they must seize this opportunity, because if they fail to seize it, they may be the ones who die later!
In addition to the three kings, Zhang Lingmo of Dongkaido has been developing the Tianshi Sect for many years, and has followers all over the country. In addition, he has absorbed the Yellow Turban Sect, which has risen nearby, and absorbed some things from the Yellow Turban Sect into the teachings of the Tianshi Sect. Teaching further grows.
Moreover, Zhang Lingmo, the great teacher of the Yellow Turban Sect, Zhang Jiao, used some methods to attract followers that even Zhang Lingmo felt inferior to. Zhang Lingmo and Zhang Jiao cooperated with each other, and the development of Tianshi Sect was like a divine help.
When the Three Kings were in chaos, Zhang Lingmo immediately realized that this was an opportunity. Soon, the name "Kang Shengjun, correct the way, punish corrupt officials, and restore peace" came up. Hundreds of thousands of followers of the Tianshi Sect grew up in a very short time. It swept across the entire Tokaido.
Kuang Shengjun, the one who supports the righteous path, is naturally the so-called three kings. As for corrupt officials, creatures like corrupt officials will never disappear no matter how peaceful the era is. Not to mention that it has been developed for hundreds of years and the various forces are intertwined.
In addition, the East China Road is high in the sky and far away from the emperor. It is close to the Qingnan Road controlled by the three kings. The imperial court has limited control here. Naturally, there will be no shortage of corrupt officials, and this also provides the soil for the development of the entire Tianshi Road.
Based on the background of the Three Kings, I don't think much of Zhang Lingmo's Tianshi Dao, which is a rebel army. It is said to be an army, but it is just some farmers who have taken up arms. In fact, some of them didn't even have decent weapons, and all they had were farm tools such as sickles and hoes.
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Zhang Lingmo’s intentions are not pure, and the so-called slogans can only be listened to.
However, even so, the Three Kings will never shut out the power of Tianshi Dao. On the contrary, not only would they not turn him away, but the three kings also specially sent people to contact Zhang Lingmo to exchange interests, or perhaps to draw a big pie, to completely attract Zhang Lingmo to their side.
Now, it is the critical moment for the three kings to seize power from Emperor Cang, and they will not give up easily with any help.
Although Zhang Lingmo's group has limited combat power, at least the number is scary and the momentum is still good.
Of course, the two sides' troop dispatch routes are different. Mixing together two sides with vastly different combat capabilities will not only not help them, but will also drag down their own combat effectiveness.
