"It doesn't matter. He has his great ambitions. A few people also have the strength of a few people. The offensive and defensive momentum has not changed."
"It's better to attack if you are alone."
"If the Chu soldiers dare to cross the river, they will be destroyed."
"Militarily, we maintain suppression. In domestic affairs, we follow our previous strategy."
"Rectify the administration of officials and treat the people well. Win the hearts of the people of Hebei with benevolence."
Wu Nian's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice.
"yes."
Liu Zhixing and others bowed in response.
soon. Wu Nian sent them away.
"Emperor Zhang Wu!?" Wu Nian stood up and walked slowly to the palace gate. He looked up to the south with a sneer on his face.
"You want to stop me and revive the Chu Kingdom. It's a great ambition, but can you do it?"
.............
Bianliang.
This is an ancient capital and a large city with a pivotal position.
The Han army invaded the capital and captured Emperor Daojun. The whole country of Chu was shocked, and its subjects were at a loss. The King of Jin ascended the throne in Bianliang and gathered people's hearts.
Officials from all directions, generals who protected King Qin, and various figures gathered in Bianliang.
There were countless soldiers and horses inside and outside Bianliang City. The grain, grass and baggage were piled up like mountains.
In the city.
Inside the palace.
Bianliang was not the capital of Chu State, and there was no imperial palace in the city. But there is no condition and no way. Now is the time to fight for destiny.
Officials expropriated several large houses and renovated them to become the royal palace.
In a courtyard.
There are guards inside and out. Emperor Zhang Wu sat on the back of the beauty, and Xiong Wuwo stood in front of him.
Emperor Zhang Wu wore a dragon robe and a black gauze winged crown on his head, and he was very dignified. But at this moment, he couldn't help but feel tired on his brows.
He is the third son of the emperor, King Jin. There are two brothers above. Although the eldest brother is weak and the second brother has a leg problem, it is never his turn.
Although he enjoys praise both inside and outside the government, if it were not for this change. He cannot be emperor.
But as a prince, he dreams of becoming an emperor.
But now I get what I want, of course I am happy. But problems also came one after another.
A smoky country.
The tiger in the north baring its teeth and claws.
He needs to handle everything.
Take care of everything every day.
Emperor Zhang Wu took a deep breath, calmed down, looked up at Xiong Wuwo, and said: "General Xiong. The reason why I am here today is because of the general's indispensable contribution."
Xiong Wuwo bent down slightly, with no joy on his face.
Although Emperor Daojun is indeed a bastard, he is still the emperor. Sold the emperor and supported the king of Jin. This was done in a dishonest way.
Things are right though.
When Emperor Zhang Wu saw this, he admired Xiong Wuwo even more.
Xiong Wuwo was a brave and capable general in his early years. He had a confrontation with Wu Nian in Shanhaiguan for decades, during which he was dismissed from office once.
Under internal and external training, he gradually became calmer.
"General Xiong. I want you to join the cabinet and be a secondary assistant." Emperor Zhang Wu said.
"Uh!!!!" Xiong Wuwo couldn't hold himself any longer, his eyes widened, and he looked at Emperor Zhang Wu in astonishment. The state of Chu relied on civil power to control military affairs, and no military generals ever entered the cabinet.
What's more, it's the second assistant?
"Haha." Emperor Zhang Wu laughed and said, "General Xiong. I have designated the reign name as Zhang Wu. Don't you understand?"
"What happened to the general? Wu Nian's stick hasn't woken you up yet? If Chu State continues to control military affairs with civil society, it will be just a dish for Wu Nian. Sooner or later, I will be captured alive by Wu Nian."
"I want a change. A top-down change. Select cabinet ministers, six ministers, etc. And you, the second assistant, are in charge of military affairs."
"Select good generals to run the Yellow River defense line and the southeast coastal defense line."
"We will take a two-step approach. First stabilize the Central Plains, and then wait for the opportunity to make the northern expedition, recapture Hebei, and return to the capital."
Having said this, Emperor Zhang Wu's brows glowed, and his body exuded a sharpness like a blade.
Xiong Wuwo gradually calmed down, but his heart was moved beyond words, and his confidence soared.
OK.
OK. As long as Emperor Zhang Wu is here, why should our Chu country not prosper?
This time I sold Emperor Daojun, and I did the right thing, I really did the right thing.
Xiong Wuwo's eyes gradually became moist. He took a deep breath, held back his tears, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for looking after me. It's just that I have to guard the Yellow River defense line and cannot enter the court."
Emperor Zhang Wu also shook his head and said: "General Xiong. You think too highly of yourself and underestimate the people of Chu."
"What does your Majesty mean? I don't understand." Xiong Wuwo said in confusion.
"You, Xiong Wuwo, are very powerful. You are a general whom I trust and have great prestige. Therefore, I arranged for you to join the cabinet. But apart from you, Xiong Wuwo, there are no other generals in the Chu Kingdom?"
"In the battle in the southeast, Chen Mingzhi performed well. Even though Zhang Haoyong committed a lot of crimes, he still managed the troops well and was worthy of using his generals."
"As for our Chu country, besides them, there are many people who were just buried before. Find these people and put them to good use."
"Establish the Yellow River defense line and coastal defense. We also need to reform the military system, such as learning from the systems of the Han and Mongolian countries, and establishing an army of ten thousand households."
"I leave all military matters to you. As long as it is not a matter of principle, I will fully support you. And my job is to go to Nanjing to establish a strong court and rectify the government from top to bottom."
"Combine the power of Chu State into one and support you with all our strength."
"What kind of talent is this and where should it be placed?"
"As long as the state of Chu is politically clear and has a strong military, then the state of Han is nothing."
"Don't forget. In terms of national strength, we are stronger than Han. The southeast is a land of fish and rice, a land of food production."
Having said this, Emperor Zhang Wu became more and more energetic. Ever since he conspired with Xiong Wuwo and killed someone with a borrowed knife.
He began to think about how to be an emperor.
Xiong Wuwo is a general.
But it would be a pity to put him in the position of a general. You can definitely join the cabinet and be at a higher level. Promote more outstanding generals.
Not to mention rectifying the administration of officials.
As long as Chu State is managed well.
Everything is possible.
He wanted to retake Hebei, return to the capital, and even send troops outside the pass to attack Liaodong and destroy the Han Dynasty, and then fight the Slavs and retake Hetao.
He wants to be the master of ZTE and the emperor for the ages.
Xiong Wuwo's blood boiled when he heard this. He immediately knelt on the ground with his knees weak and said: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to promote talents and rectify military affairs for your Majesty."
"Elite soldiers and elite generals."
"I believe you." Emperor Zhang Wu smiled slightly, stood up and helped Xiong Wuwo up.
Under the command of Xiong Wuwo, the Shanhaiguan 80,000-horse infantry force was the main force. Chu State established a defense system along the Yellow River.
After finishing.
Emperor Zhang Wu left Bianliang with Xiong Wuwo and headed for Nanjing.
Nanjing is the official capital of the Eight Hundred. There are royal palaces and various government offices. He wanted to command the world from Nanjing and revive the Chu Kingdom.
