Chapter 038: Pre-War Arrangement 2
Helan Yi was dressed in a golden robe, his long hair was unprecedentedly tied behind his head, and he had a majestic expression on his face, and the people kneeling on the ground were all people he was familiar with, and they were also people who were afraid of him.
The thirty-six city guards lined up in six lines, except for a few imperial relatives, the rest were promoted by the Helan brothers after taking power, some of them were equally loyal to the emperor He Lanhong and the king of Chu, Helan Yi, and some were dissatisfied with Helan Yi's monopoly on military power because He Lanhong had the grace of knowing them, especially Gao Lin, the guard of the imperial city.
One arm was cut off by Helan Yi, standing in the first row of the first row on the right, the imperial city is the first territory of Emperor Helan Hong, and Helan Yi's dragon city protects the heavenly city one left and one right, it can be said that he is the most important one among the thirty-six city guards.
Helan Yi's cold gaze swept over everyone's faces, slowly stood up, his right hand clenched into a fist, and said majestically: "Gather everyone here today, there is only one thing to say, Yinlan of Cangnan Country has arranged hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, and he is eyeing Dayuan, I am going to lead the troops to fight, I will go to the border to fight, and the safety of Tiancheng will test you." ”
When he led his troops out before, he had never summoned the guards of the thirty-six cities so solemnly, and everyone knew in their hearts that this time was different.
"The subordinates listen to the teachings of the king of Chu."
Facing Hong Zhong's general answer, Helan Yi raised his eyebrows quietly, "On this expedition, I will only take my territorial army, my eldest brother's territorial army, to protect the safety of Heavenly City." ”
This decision surprised everyone, according to the usual practice, as long as the troops were dispatched, half of the troops of the thirty-six cities were transferred to obey the command of the king of Chu, and they looked at each other one by one.
"I heard the gossip that has been rumored outside recently, saying that I, Helan Yi, hold military power in my hands, rely on military merits to disrespect the emperor, do whatever I want, and don't take the emperor in my eyes at all." He Lanyi slowly walked to Gao Lin's side and glanced at him lightly, "The emperor is my eldest brother He Lanyi, no matter what rumors do, they can't destroy our close brotherly relationship."
"King Chu, the wind and the wind are like the wind blowing on the grassland, it comes and goes quickly, and it will disappear without a trace in a while, don't care." It was the oldest military general of the Great Plains Kingdom who spoke, with a displeased expression on his face, "The King of Chu and the emperor's brothers are working together to govern our Great Plains Kingdom, and the courtiers have seen it." ”
"Convening everyone today, I, Helan Yi, simply made it clear, the edict left by my father said that I, Helan Yi, inherited the throne." Before the words fell, there was a gasp, "I am grateful to the queen mother for raising me and my younger siblings and giving up the throne to my eldest brother, Gao Lin, you heard my words clearly, the throne was given up by me, I can easily come back, who will be the emperor of the Great Plains Country is a family matter of our Helan family." ”
"My subordinates understood." Gao Lin, who had not yet healed the wound on his arm, bent over and saluted, not daring to show the slightest disrespect, indeed, who will be the emperor is their Helan family's business, as a courtier, he has no right to interfere, but he is so unwilling that he gritted his teeth and swallowed all the resentment.
"This expedition may be a battle to the death with the Cangnan Kingdom, and the casualties are incalculable, so I take the army of my territory into battle, I just want to tell everyone that I, Helan Yi, am the King of Chu of the Great Plains Kingdom, and I was born to defend this country."
