"I brought back the throne with me." There was a scary content in the calm and gentle words.
Perhaps from ancient times to the present, no one would describe the struggle for position in this way.
Although Xiao Jiu and Shi San are not old, they already vaguely know the truth about Emperor Taizong Wen's death.
Seeing the figure of Master leading people away, Xiaojiu could only pray silently in his heart.
And Thirteen bowed deeply towards the direction Yang Qingyuan left.
---------------
"Open the city gate!" General Ning Wei, who was responsible for guarding the inner city gate of the divine capital, has been captured. Now in charge of the city defense is the city gate captain Li Duo, who is from the Tiance Army's Tianqiang camp.
The Royal Forest Army has 70,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the divine capital, and the remaining soldiers and horses are stationed outside the city.
Of course, even 70,000 people is not a small number. These troops need a huge space to station and practice, and their military camps are naturally not suitable for placement in the inner city.
After the city gate was opened, Yang Qingyuan led a kind of generals and soldiers, rode out, and headed straight for the Royal Forest Army camp in the northeast of the outer city of Shendu.
Arriving outside the city gate, the person who was originally responsible for the coordination had already opened the gate of the Royal Forest Army's Shendu camp.
"who?!"
Several soldiers from the Changlin Army saw Yang Qingyuan's men breaking into the camp at night and immediately yelled.
But before they could say anything more, the old troops of Tiance Army and Jinyang Army, which had been prepared for a long time, had captured them.
Yang Qingyuan and his party traveled unimpeded and arrived at the central headquarters of the Royal Forest Army.
"Yang Hou, this is the royal tent, and in front of it is the commander's station."
When Yang Qingyuan led the troops, he never wore armor and always wore casual clothes or fancy clothes.
Without a single armor, he can fight all over the world.
"Beat the drum! Gather the generals!"
Without waiting for the soldiers on the side to beat the drums, Pingyang Marquis Cao Xueyang quickly stepped forward and took the drumsticks.
"Winter! Winter! Winter!"
A dull drum beat echoed in the Royal Guards camp.
The mid-level and senior officers above the lieutenant colonel level all woke up from their sleep.
Of course, this also includes the new Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Forest Army, Fang Changming.
The original Beijing Camp of the Imperial Guard was controlled by the old Wuxun Group, and the Grand Governor of the Imperial Guard was also a member of the Old Wuxun Group.
However, in the battle of Tumubao, the two elites of Longwu Army and Yulin Army were almost completely wiped out.
The remaining troops were also gathered by Yu Yanyi and reorganized into Jinyang Army together with Jingzhou Beicao Army and Chuzhou Beiman Army.
As a result, the Royal Forest Army was only an empty shell.
For Zhu Zhankun, this cannot be considered a bad thing.
The good news is that the influence of the old Wuxun Group in the Beijing camp has been wiped out. The bad news is that the Beijing camp, with the Royal Forest Army as the main force, is gone...
That's why Zhu Zhankun later mobilized the border troops to enrich the imperial guards in the capital. Soldiers and horses were mobilized from the Tiance Army, the Jinyang Army, and the preparation armies from various places to enrich the combat power of the Royal Forest Army.
However, the Jinyang Army was established by Yanyi, and Zhu Zhankun was wary of its prestige, so he could only mobilize troops from the Tiance Army, and then use the Preparatory Army to supplement the vacant troops of the Tiance Army.
Then Zhu Zhankun made another move, transferring all the senior generals from Cao Xueyang away, and his confidants took over the top positions of the Royal Forest Army.
It should be said that his operation is not a big problem. If it takes another two or three years, he will have complete control over this newly built Royal Forest Army, but not now.
The middle and lower-level generals of the Royal Forest Army are still mainly the old troops of the former Tiance Army and Jinyang Army. This is also the confidence that Yang Qingyuan dares to directly mobilize troops.
You must know that the support of middle and lower-level generals is the key to completely controlling an army.
Blue Star relied on its branches to be built on companies to complete its control over the people's army.
As the gathering drum sounded, the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Forest Army was also awakened.
"What's going on?! Why are there drums?!" Although Fang Changming had not been on the battlefield a few times, he had been leading troops for many years. He turned over and grabbed the sword beside the bed.
Fang Changming's personal soldiers also looked confused at this time.
"Back to the Governor, we don't know what happened? I just know that the gathering drum suddenly wanted to sound."
Fang Changming immediately got up and dressed up. Suddenly someone beat drums and gathered the generals at night.
Either to cause rebellion or to suppress rebellion.
But it is certain that there will be drastic changes in the city of God.
Fang Changming immediately packed up his gear, put on his usual armor, held his saber, and rushed towards the central commander's tent with his soldiers.
"Who is playing drums here without permission?"
Fang Changming asked aggressively as soon as he entered the commander's tent.
No matter what the situation was, Fang Changming chose to take the lead.
If someone rebels, he will naturally stop the opponent, and his momentum must not be weak.
If someone is ordered to mobilize troops, he cannot disobey the order, but he must also demonstrate his status. This kind of behavior of beating drums and gathering generals without being notified was so bad that he was not taken seriously at all.
But when Fang Changming saw clearly the person on the main seat in the handsome tent, he froze on the spot.
No one in the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty can look down upon the person in the position of commander. Even Tang Shengtan, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, and Li Chengen, the commander-in-chief of the Tiance Army, need to maintain the necessary respect for this person.
"Although Marquis Yang is the pillar of the country, there seems to be something wrong with breaking into the military camp late at night and stealing the commander-in-chief's position!"
Although Fang Changming admired Yang Qingyuan, he would not forget his own position.
He does not have enough military merit or an amazing background. His ability to become the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army depends entirely on Zhu Zhankun's trust.
Yang Qingyuan looked at the imposing place Chang Ming and smiled slightly, "Captain Fang, if someone mobilizes troops and horses, uses weapons for personal use, and robs and kills the imperial officials, what crime should be committed?!"
Fang Changming shrank slightly when he heard this. Others didn't know what Yang Qingyuan was talking about, but he knew it very well.
When Zhou Ming was alive, Fang Changming was ordered to mobilize a pair of elite soldiers and horses to rob and kill Yang Qingyuan on the road with Shenji Crossbow and Tianji Crossbow.
Of course, the ending was a failure, otherwise Yang Qingyuan would not be sitting here.
When Yang Qingyuan mentioned this matter, Fang Changming realized that there were not only different positions between himself and Yang Qingyuan, but also personal grudges.
"Should I take you down and be examined, or should I beat you up and be examined?!"
Fang Changming subconsciously took a step back. Although he had just entered the realm of Yuanhua, he was no match for Yang Qingyuan.
Are there any masters in the Dongxuan Realm in the Yulin Army? have! Or rather, there once was!
Except for Changlin's army, which only had one Dongxuan realm, the remaining five armies had at least two Dongxuan realm warriors.
After all, it is a large army fighting against foreign enemies. How could it not have the high-end combat power of the Zhenjun? !
The position of general of the town army is specially set up for the strongest master among the five main forces.
For example, it turns out that the general of the Tiance Army is the top master of the Tiance Army, Tianqiang Yang Ning.
There were originally two Dongxuan Realm masters in the Yulin Army, but in Tumu Fort and even in the subsequent battles, the Dongxuan Realm masters of the Yulin Army and the Longwu Army had already died for their country.
Of course Zhu Zhankun knew this, but he was not unprepared, such as the people who were following Fang Changming now.
If there is anyone who can really make Zhu Zhankun feel at ease, it must be the masters of the Jin Shiyi Tianshan series.
Because of the relationship between Meng Yunhua and Gu Zhihua, Jin Shiyi is Zhu Zhankun's biological uncle.
Coupled with Jin Shiyi's extremely surly and protective character and Zhu Zhankun's deception, the masters of the Tianshan line have become the most convenient force in the hands of the prince Zhu Zhankun.
The Tianshan sect is also amazing. Although Jin Shiyi has retired to the East China Sea, there are many masters under his sect.
Jin Shiyi not only entered the Dharma, Heaven and Earth with his own skills, but his disciples and sons were also swordsmen in the Dongxuan Realm.
Standing behind Fang Changming at this moment is Jin Shiyi's disciple, Jiang Haitian.
Jiang Haitian is only in his early thirties, and his internal strength is already astonishing. He also took a rare treasure in the martial arts world, the Tianxin Stone. By chance, he obtained the inner strength and mental method of the "Dragon Power Secret Treasure", a national treasure passed down by the Massar Kingdom.
His internal strength has reached an astonishing level.
Although the Massar Kingdom is not a big country, it is one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region. The power of its national treasure "Dragon Power Secret Treasure" naturally does not need to be elaborated too much.
Tianxin Stone is a rare gem produced in the Sea of Stars at the top of Kunlun Mountain. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorbs the essence of the sun and moon. Taking it can refine the whole body, widen the meridians, and greatly increase the internal strength. It can also be used as medicine. Its medicinal properties are extremely hot and can restrain cold poison.
The shape and color of this gemstone are no different from ordinary stones, so it is extremely difficult to find.
It was through the combination of multiple adventures that Jiang Haitian achieved the level he is now in the Cave Mystic Realm.
In terms of fate, Jiang Haitian is quite similar to Zhang Wuji, Yang Qingyuan's young disciple. They accidentally obtained magical treasures and had similar luck.
Although Jiang Haitian is not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, can't recite poems, and has almost no elegant actions, Jiang Haitian has won the hearts of Gu Zhonglian, Hua Yunbi, Ouyang Wan, and Yun Bi.
Even his personality is exactly the same as that of Zhang Wuji. He is pure-hearted, loyal and honest to the point of being easily deceived, but he is very smart in learning martial arts.
But because of his personality, he was controlled by Zhu Zhankun.
When Yang Qingyuan was sizing up Jiang Haitian, Jiang Haitian was also sizing up Yang Qingyuan.
Zhu Zhankun's positioning of Yang Qingyuan was both a sycophant and a capable minister.
When telling lies, one of the nine truths is often mixed with falsehood, which makes it more difficult for people to distinguish its authenticity.
Zhu Zhankun has never denied the achievements of Yang Qingyuan and Yu Yanyi.
These achievements cannot be erased by his words.
But Zhu Zhankun made many assumptions about their behavior.
Although Yu Yanyi saved the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Battle of Jinyang, the purpose of his actions was impure. In the Battle of Jinyang, Yu Yanyi firmly controlled the military power of the new army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Jinyang Army. He also promoted many so-called "confidants".
There is no evidence for all this, it is all out of spite, but as long as suspicion arises, this suspicion will not stop. When people carefully observe the behavior of the slandered person, they will always feel that he has ulterior motives.
Zhu Zhankun also treated Yang Qingyuan in the same way.
In the end, in the hearts of the Tianshan people, the image of a powerful minister who was both civil and military, but ambitious, wanted to help the Thirteen ascend to power, respected the emperor, and took over the world.
This image is undoubtedly very successful, at least the Tianshan people believe it.
However, Jiang Haitian's deep sense of justice and innocence still gave him the idea of persuading Yang Qingyuan to "return to justice."
"Master Yang, why do you, a young and talented young man, go astray?! Is this wealth and power really so charming?!"
Yang Qingyuan didn't say anything. Sometimes, there is no absolute right or wrong in politics. When your reforms benefit some people, they will indeed cause some people to lose benefits.
Those who profit will naturally regard you as a model of integrity, but those who lose their interests will want to send you to the 18th level of hell and never be able to recover.
Faced with Jiang Haitian's question, Yang Qingyuan did not answer. He did not have time to persuade a simple but stubborn person with words.
"Jianhan, I'll leave him to you!"
What answered Yang Qingyuan was the sound of Can Xue unsheathing herself.
The light of the sword is like snow, and the sound of frost can be heard when cutting.
In the eyes of others, it was just a simple slash, but in the eyes of Jiang Haitian, there were endless changes and follow-up moves.
With just one strike of the sword, Jiang Haitian knew that in terms of swordsmanship alone, Ye Jianhan's cultivation was still above him.
Ye Jianhan, the chief prison officer of Dali Temple, has become famous in the world in recent years.
The biggest result was the long-distance pursuit of Hou Jin's number one master, "Sky Swordsman" Nangong Mi.
Although Nangong Mie is old and seriously injured, he is still the nominal number one master in Houjin.
Ye Jianhan chased him for thousands of miles and killed him within the borders of the Great Zhou Kingdom, which was enough to make him famous far and wide.
There are even rumors in the world that when Tianji Tower ranks sword poems again, Ye Jianhan is likely to be on the list.
Facing Ye Jianhan's sword, Jiang Haitian's sword was also unsheathed.
The name of the sword is Caiyun, which was forged by the great devil Qiao Beiming from rare metals found in the deep sea. It is as light as a cicada's wing and extremely sharp.
It is one of the "three treasures" left behind by Qiao Beiming on the volcanic island. The rest is a piece of soft jade armor as thin as cicada wings, which can resist mortal swords and swords and dissolve the inner energy. It was the one Baishu Taoist wore when he went to Wudang Mountain to sneak attack Zhang Wuji.
Unfortunately, Zhang Laodao was so angry that he smashed it to pieces with a punch, but Taoist Baishu escaped from Zhang Sanfeng's hands for the second time.
There is also a treasure, which is a bow and arrow made of cold jade. The bow is made of cold jade bred in the unchanging black ice of the North Sea. The bow string is woven with the silk of Arctic ice silkworms and spread throughout the world. Cao Xueyang, the general of Cejun Xuanwei, gave the proceeds to the "rebellious minister and traitor" who is now in command, and he is still making a splash in the war with Hou Jin.
This Caiyun sword was originally one of Jin Shiyi's swords. After Jin Shiyi achieved great success in martial arts and mastered the heaven and earth, he passed his two swords to his son and apprentice.
The Guai Sword was passed to Jin Zhuliu, while the Cai Yun Sword was controlled by Jiang Haitian.
The Tianshan sect's special skill, the Great Sumeru Sword Style, has become popular.
Qi Yi can hide the power of Sumeru in the land of mustard seeds. It is the most powerful defensive sword technique among the Tianshan sword techniques. It combines offense and defense with complex changes. Every move and every move is impeccable.
Just as the two were fighting, Yang Qingyuan suddenly stood up and said, "Go out and fight!" After saying that, he sent out a palm.
The Dragon Subduing Divine Palm shocked Baili.
Peiran's fierce palm force came out from Yang Qingyuan's hand and went straight to Jiang Haitian.
The palm power that shocked Baili extended continuously, and if it was in Guo Jing's hands, it would be enough to blast hundreds of feet.
Yang Qingyuan's accomplishments in the Dragon Subduing Palm were naturally not as good as Guo Jing's, but they were still enough to force Jiang Haitian out of the Chinese army's commander's tent.
Sure enough, facing Yang Qingyuan's palm force, Jiang Haitian responded with a big Xumi palm. Although he blocked the blow, the aftermath of the palm force also blasted Jiang Haitian who was near the tent directly out of the tent.
Ye Jianhan's fighting talent was rare in the world. He immediately caught up with him and took the advantage, firmly blocking Jiang Haitian from the Chinese army's commander's tent.
The sound of the two swords clashing spread into the tent, making Fang Changming even more anxious.
"What's going on?! Why did someone start a fight in the middle of the night!" The eunuch of the Royal Forest Army also came to the big tent.
He was from Xichang and a close confidant of Zhu Zhankun and Yuhuatian. He was used to doing evil, but he was loyal to Yuhuatian, so he was ordered to supervise the army here.
As soon as this person appeared, Yang Qingyuan didn't say anything about taking action. Liu Wangshu on the side disappeared, and the Tai'a sword edge passed between the person's neck.
This all happened in a very short period of time.
In the Royal Forest Army, all the high-ranking generals promoted by Zhu Zhankun had expressions of confusion, and some of them were even trembling with wine and rice bags.
Among them, Lu Yizhi, the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, asked angrily: "Yang Hou, what do you mean?!"
He was the uncle of the King of Chu and the King of Wei, but after Zhu Zhankun ascended the throne, he immediately defected to Zhu Zhankun.
Regardless of anything else, this person alone is still very despising to Yang Qingyuan.
Looking at the generals standing up in the handsome tent, Yang Qingyuan smiled slightly, "Everyone, please sit down! This matter has nothing to do with you. Tonight, Lord Qing will support King Wei!"
After hearing these words, Lu Yizhi, the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army who was still aggressive just now, suddenly changed his attitude.
No matter what, he is the uncle of King Wei. If Yang Qingyuan wants to help King Wei ascend the throne, there will be no big loss for him.
He is a relative and the Queen Mother's brother. Taking refuge with Zhu Zhankun is just a temporary measure. King Wei will also use him when he ascends the throne.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yizhi looked around and said, "Generals, be at peace! Yang Hou is the Minister of Dali Temple and has a reputation of being fair and virtuous. He will definitely not do anything rebellious."
Those who understand current affairs are heroes, and Lu Yizhi is the best among heroes. There is no psychological pressure at all to switch sides in the face of battle.
Lu Yizhi was the original deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, and nearly 40% of these high-level generals were his old troops. Together with some centrists, Zhu Zhankun's group, which originally wanted to resist, immediately became weak and weak.
With the cooperation of Lu Yizhi, he quickly took control of the situation in the commander's camp, and Cao Xueyang, Qin Yiyan, etc. took over the duties of the generals.
Yang Qingyuan nodded enthusiastically, it was so easy to deceive! But it’s really useful!
In the darkness of the night, the sound of hurried footsteps kept ringing in the city defense camp of the Divine Capital. Then gather and head to the school grounds.
With such a big movement, the soldiers and horses of each battalion in the station were naturally shaken, but soon an order came from the central commander's tent: Don't panic, gather for night exercises.
As a result, the commotion among the armies slowly subsided amid doubts.
Yang Qingyuan came to the school ground, and torches were lit around the school ground. The fire is raging! On the general stage facing south, Yang Qingyuan stood as tall as a pine, calmly looking at the gathering imperial guards!
After the army was assembled, Yang Qingyuan took a step forward. "Long time no see, how are you guys doing?"
Then the voices of the troops resounded through the sky.
"See Yang Hou!"
The military's ambition!
This is the prestige of Yang Qingyuan, the first person in the Zhou army and the Marquis of Wuxiang!
