"Uncle, I originally wanted to talk to you on a more solemn occasion, but since I talked to my uncle today, I simply mentioned it to my uncle." A hint of hesitation and contemplation flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and then a hearty smile appeared on his face, and he glanced at Qiu Mubai intently and said slowly.

"What do you want to tell me?" When Qiu Mubai heard Shen Yan's words, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and after chatting with Shen Yan for a while, Qiu Mubai added some understanding to Shen Yan, this kid is a typical master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, and now what suggestions or requirements he puts forward to himself, he must have thought about it a long time ago.

"Uncle, I and Yingxue can be regarded as love at first sight, originally I didn't have that luxury in my heart, but maybe it was a coincidence and arrangement of fate, God actually let me be injured and followed my uncle and others to Jinling, the key is that Jinling is so big, and I can still meet it after I come to Jinling, which shows that I do have a fate with Yingxue, and my uncle has heard a little about the things later, so I won't say more." Shen Yan glanced at Qiu Mubai lightly, his eyes revealed a touch of tenderness and sincerity, and said slowly.

"Before leading the army to Huaibei County to conquer the White Lotus Sect last time, I promised Ying Xue that as long as I successfully put down the rebellion and came back, I would come to the door to propose marriage, I originally wanted to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, but since my uncle mentioned it to me, then I will be cheeky and open my mouth to my uncle, hoping that my uncle will be fulfilled and let me take care of Ying Xue for the rest of my life." When Shen Yan said this, his face looked extremely solemn and sincere.

Deputy Marshal of Imperial Soldiers and Horses, this official position is not small, except for the Shengjing City army system that cannot be mobilized, other local armies are under its jurisdiction. According to this logical reasoning, Ye Zhiqiu's official position has considerable weight.

However, it is a pity that in addition to the Ye family army under Ye Zhiqiu's headquarters, how many other local armies are there in the empire? The local garrison with a little strength has already taken refuge in Li Chenglin's rebellion to gain greater fame, and how many troops can Ye Zhiqiu command.

Moreover, once the Imperial Civil War is over, the position of Deputy Marshal of the Imperial Soldiers and Horses will be withdrawn by the royal family. Even if the royal family does not take it back, the ministers of the DPRK and China will not sit idly by and watch Ye Zhiqiu continue to hold this position, and Ye Zhiqiu will eventually resign from this position due to the situation.

It can be said that the official position that he has rewarded is tantamount to a hot potato in vain.

Thinking of Ye Zhiqiu's deflated appearance in the future, Li Chengming suddenly had a triumphant smile in his heart.

Almost at the same time, seventy-five miles east of Shengjing City, the westernmost city of Imperial Tai'an County, Yunzhou Mansion.

"What, Ye Zhiqiu led his troops to hold high the banner of King Qin and launched an offensive against Zhao Zihua's department!" When Li Chenglin heard the news that Ye Zhiqiu had appointed Hua Zhengcheng to lead the army to attack Zhao Zihua, he felt as aggrieved as a fly in his heart, and his soul flew away like eating a bombshell.

Within the Chinese Empire, there is no one else in the Chinese Empire who can make Li Chenglin have roots in his heart that can never be eradicated, except for Ye Zhiqiu's military talent.

This is not to say how powerful Ye Zhiqiu is, it's just that the experiences of the Imperial War three years ago have been deeply rooted in Li Chenglin's mind, stimulating every nerve of Li Chenglin, especially his own defeat and retreat, reflecting Ye Zhiqiu's great achievements all the way.

Although Ye Zhiqiu did not take command to lead the troops to fight this time, the whole empire is clear about this fact: any general under Ye Zhiqiu's command has outstanding military talents, no matter what the general's previous talents were, as long as he was thrown into Ye Zhiqiu's arms, it would be like being reborn, and he would be impressive.

"It is true that this king does admire your military talent, but your self-respect is enough to prove that your political talent is extremely weak, and it is too naïve to want this king and the mediocre talent in the palace to consume their own strength first and let you reap the benefits of the fisherman, you must know that this king has already controlled most of the empire, besides, no one in the world knows that this king still has a trump card that has not been used, once used, Li Chengming will definitely lose the country."

"The king's trump card is the king's mother, as long as the queen mother successfully imprisons Li Chengming in Shengjing City and welcomes herself into the city, she can grasp the political initiative of the empire, and in the face of the sacred Shengjing City defense, you Ye Zhiqiu is helpless no matter how much military talent you have, how to fight against the power of the empire with the strength of your family, then you will either obediently be used by the king, or consciously unload your armor and return to the field. Why is this king afraid of your comeback? ”

"Order Zhao Zihua, don't worry about Ye Zhiqiu leading the troops to attack, your troops only need to take Zhongping Town with peace of mind, and then defend the city and resist Ye Zhiqiu's army." Li Chenglin figured out the reason, and was no longer afraid of Ye Zhiqiu's military talent, and hurriedly ordered the scribe to send Zhao Zihua a letter of appeasement.

It is true that Li Chenglin's consideration of using the power of a county to resist the power of a country is really an act of self-inflicted effort, but Li Chenglin seems to have forgotten one point: Although the civil war is a competition for human and financial resources, there is a core thing called morale and the inheritance of orthodoxy.

The strength of many rebels has always far exceeded that of the imperial court and why it was finally destroyed by the imperial court, that is, the rebels were less orthodox, and Li Chengming occupied orthodoxy, even if Li Chenglin succeeded in usurping the throne, but in the face of the name of orthodoxy and the persistent belief in people's hearts, Li Chenglin would also be exhausted to deal with it, coupled with Ye Zhiqiu's strategy and tactics, it is too early to say who will die in the final imperial civil war.

Unless Li Chenglin can make Ye Zhiqiu stop when he grasps the political initiative, and no longer be the king of Qin or besiege Shengjing City, all this can only be Li Chenglin's wishful thinking.

When it comes to morale, no matter which army in the empire has its morale, they can't compare to the Ye family army trained by Ye Zhiqiu. Ye Zhiqiu's governance of the army is the first priority of the military soul, and the essence of the military soul is the concrete embodiment of morale, and a series of measures formulated by Ye Zhiqiu to benefit the people have made the morale of the Ye family army always maintain a high momentum.

When it comes to orthodoxy, the imperial scholars and the people all know that Li Chengming is the emperor of the empire, not Li Chenglin who rebelled, even if Li Chenglin is the prince of the empire and the younger brother of the emperor, but when it comes to orthodoxy, Li Chenglin seems to be untenable, even if Li Chengming has an accident and returns to heaven, as long as Li Chengming has an heir or does not explicitly say who will replace his position, at this time, after the agreement between the courtiers and the queen mother, Li Chenglin can be brought out to inherit the unification.

But the reality is that Li Chenglin rebelled, which fully exposed Li Chenglin's wolf ambition and covetousness, even if he did not suffer from the attack of the people, at least he had lost the orthodox name and righteousness.
