Fast forward more than a year, Xiao Jiang was training 3,000 soldiers and practicing outside Chang'an City, paying no attention to the changes in the city. Except for the Huotou Army, none of his forbidden troops were allowed to enter the city without the Emperor's Talisman, including Xiao Jiang, who was not allowed to enter the city without an edict. .
The talisman to control the imperial army does exist with the emperor, but if he is able to take it out, Xiao Jiang must be willing to obey the order.
For a year, Xiao Jiang only trained the infantry. Although there were many horse farms near Chang'an, no one would dare to sell horses to the imperial army even if he had money.
"Master, the 5,000 war horses bought for Langya have arrived. Your father has recruited 15,000 soldiers and taken in nearly 200,000 refugees to reclaim wasteland according to your requirements. At the same time, he has restricted the local powerful. Tao Qian is dissatisfied with the powerful. , now only a few businessmen are left in Langya, and all the landlords have been secretly dealt with.
According to the master's arrangement, the Langya soldiers have been able to maintain stability within a radius of three hundred miles. So what does the master have to ask for next? "
In the small courtyard room, Xiao Jiang held the sleeping Du Xing'er in one hand while listening to Xiao Bai's report. He took out a cigarette and lit it happily and said with a smile:
"We can't stop the conspiracy of Nan Beidou and others, and we don't have the spirit. I'm just practicing martial arts here. Now I seem to be a good follower. After a while, when Dong Zhuo burps, I can lead the troops to cause chaos."
Xiaobai asked curiously:
"Are you messing around? Didn't Master intervene in the fight for hegemony?"
Xiao Jiang secretly established Langya Soldiers and spent a lot of money. Xiao Bai always thought that Xiao Jiang planned to establish a force to do big things, but Xiao Jiang's current intention seemed to be different, which made Xiao Bai a little puzzled.
"I came here to fight. When I leave this world, everything about me will be covered up by the power of the plane, so is it interesting for me to fight for hegemony? Even if I win the world, when I leave this world, the history of this world will be over. There won't be me.
Fighting and on the way to fight, that is my next trip. By the way, are there any clues about South Dipper and Beidou? "
Xiaobai projected a piece of surveillance footage. After sorting it out, she integrated the various data and said:
"Li Ru and Ren Hongchang showed no trace, but our detector still found some clues. In addition to following Dong Zhuo every day, Li Ru went to sit in the pavilion in his backyard every night. The detector found that There will be a trace of strange energy fluctuations left in the pavilion, so I continued to observe the pavilion. Until yesterday, I found that the fluctuation disappeared after a servant arrived at the pavilion, so I started to monitor the servant's movements.
Maybe he is the person Nandou or Beidou arranged to contact Li Ru, just like the guard in Luoyang who was responsible for contacting Ren Hongchang. We should have news soon. "
Xiao Jiang nodded and said:
"Well, once I find them, I want to see what these two masters of the Life and Death Sect are going to do."
Xiao Jiang told him to put down the sleeping Du Xing'er, enter the compressed space and study with Ling Yue and the two girls for two hours, and started practicing outside the small courtyard before dawn.
Because Xiao Jiang already had the strength of a martial arts master when he merged with the Yunwu Sect, his speed in understanding various martial arts was astonishing.
Even though he usually only practices the halberd technique, in fact his understanding of other martial arts is also increasing, he just doesn't display it.
"General, the emperor has issued an urgent order for you to rush to the palace immediately."
When a notification came, Xiao Jiang waved his hand to show that he knew. He looked back at Du Xing'er who was sitting in front of the door watching him practice martial arts and said:
"Xing'er, let the guards take you to the military camp later. Remember not to come out alone. The world is going to be more chaotic. It's safer in the military camp than here."
Du Xinger nodded and said:
"What the general said is absolutely true. Xing'er will take care of herself, but the general must be careful. Chang'an is turbulent now, and there may be some danger."
Despite her young age, Du Xing'er has been listening to Xiao Jiang discuss world affairs for the past year. With her intelligence, she can also see all kinds of changes. If she were not a weak woman with no strength, she would still be a person.
Xiao Jiang signaled his personal guards to escort Du Xing'er to the military camp, and then he put on his official robe and rode into the city.
When they arrived at the palace hall, all the high-ranking officials in the court were already standing in their respective positions. When they saw Xiao Jiang's arrival, the civil servants looked down upon him, but the generals' eyes were shining brightly. Among them, Lu Bu, who was standing next to Dong Zhuo, was also eager to try when he saw Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Jiang glanced at the black Fangtian painted halberd in Lu Bu's hand. This halberd was also called ghost and god in Dong Zhuo's army, which meant that ghosts and gods would retreat when encountering this halberd.
Xiao Jiang entered the queue and squinted his eyes. He looked around. A group of familiar civilians and military generals were all making eye contact. After a while, everyone seemed to have arrived. Li Ru shook his robe and said:
"My lords, yesterday His Majesty the Emperor discussed with all the ministers and decided to abdicate the throne to the Prime Minister at noon tomorrow. I am now informing everyone to come. Do you have any suggestions?"
Xiao Jiang glanced at the crowd, and when he saw Lu Bu, he saw a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. Xiao Jiang knew that this was Wang Yun's beauty trap and the serial scheme that had been successful.
These things have nothing to do with him, but he stands above the court, and he is also the second-class general of the army. In theory, he is now the person with the highest military rank in the court. Even the famous general Huangpu Song also stands on Xiao Jiang's side. He was just a lieutenant general.
Xiao Jiang rolled his eyes. He knew that whatever he said now would not be a good thing, so he simply closed his eyes and remained motionless.
"General Xiao, do you have any opinions?"
Xiao Jiang didn't want to cause trouble, but things would still find him. The bad guy Li Ru actually asked him directly. Xiao Jiang opened his eyes and said with a smile:
"I am a warrior, and I can kill people. It is inevitable that I will not think carefully about this important national matter, but since Dr. Li asked, Xiao has to say something.
I just learned about these things. The discussion is decided by His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers. What they do is their business. As for me, if the imperial power changes, it doesn’t matter that I, the general of the army, don’t do it. I just want to go back to my hometown to marry someone. I think Lord Sikong won’t think I’m disrespectful if I have wives and concubines. "
Dong Zhuo was already somewhat afraid of Xiao Jiang, otherwise he would not have tried to trap him near Chang'an. The reason was that he had a reputation for personal bravery, and if he was controlled by other forces, it would be his biggest threat.
This year passed, Xiao Jiang had no contact with any forces outside the city. Dong Zhuo felt relieved. He looked at Xiao Jiang with his pig eyes. Even Lu Bu couldn't say that he was confident about Xiao Jiang's bravery. He smiled in his heart. Hehe said:
"General Xiao, you are a great man in the world. Although you don't understand why His Majesty wants to abdicate, you may have an epiphany after tomorrow. Then you can express your opinion."
Xiao Jiang smiled and continued to close his eyes. At this moment, Xiao Bai reminded:
"Master, the detector found that a young eunuch outside the hall had a weird smile just now. Do you need to monitor him?"
