Time always passes quietly inadvertently, winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye, it enters February of the fifth year of Yonghe.

In the first month of the fifth year of Yonghe, Shi Zhao in the north underwent a shocking upheaval.

First of all, Shi Hu turned out to be the emperor. Claiming to be an emperor and being a king are two different things. In this land of Shenzhou, there can be multiple kings, but only one emperor can exist all along. This involves the question of Chinese orthodoxy. If there are two emperors at the same time, it will definitely fall into a situation of endless death.

In the past, Shi Hu was only the king of heaven, and no matter how awesome the king was, he was only a king, not an emperor. Now that Shi Hu is the emperor, it is equivalent to launching a positive challenge to Jiangzuo's orthodoxy. No matter how hard the Jiangzuo court is, no matter how weak it is. When it comes to the question of orthodoxy, it is absolutely impossible to endure it.

Sure enough, when the news of Shi Hu's proclamation of the emperor reached Jiangzuo, there was an uproar in the court! The call for the Northern Expedition is getting louder and louder. Even some of the 'Qing officials' who are not usually seen (don't do business, only talk about high opinions, almost all of them come from the family. All jumped out. With the support of various families, the ruling Huiji King Sima ordered the national abbot, General Wei, to lead Xu and Yan Erzhou to assassinate Shi Chu and Tun soldiers in Jingkou, raise grain and grass, and train soldiers. Wait for the right moment and be ready for the Northern Expedition.

In fact, it was unwise for Shi Hu to call himself emperor at this time. Now Shizhao has Murong Xianbei in the north, Zhang's Qianliang in the west, and Tuoba Xianbei in the northwest. Due to Shi Hu's poor foreign policy, Shi Zhao's relationship with the three northern forces mentioned above was not very good. Among them, the relationship with Murong Xianbei and Zhang's Qianliang is mortal enemies. Now he rashly proclaimed himself emperor and completely offended the Jiangzuo regime in the south.

Looking around Shi Zhao, you can find it. Shi Hu has already offended all his neighbors. Not even a reliable ally. This is very stupid behavior. Once Shi Zhao is weakened, he will definitely be besieged by the lord immediately.

Never underestimate the brain hole of a perverted murderer! The reason why Shi Hu was busy becoming the emperor was mainly because of physical problems. Last year, Buddha Tucheng, the national teacher who had been in charge of helping him recuperate, passed away. After Fo Tucheng's death, the imperial doctors with limited medical skills could no longer suppress Shi Hu's condition. Shi Hu knew that his days were numbered, so he wanted to live the emperor's addiction before he died, so he rashly proclaimed himself emperor despite the opposition of his ministers. As for the rest of the mess, Shi Hu is the standard 'after I die, let him flood the sky'.

At the same time that Shi Hu was proclaimed emperor, the former prince's old department, which was about to go to Liangzhou to defend it, suddenly rebelled. The first to revolt was the most elite unit of the former prince Shi Xuan, the Lishi Governor. In Yongcheng, the commander of more than 10,000 wilcorps, led by his elected leader, Liang Li, suddenly attacked the Hu cavalry who escorted them. As Shi Xuan's guard, Lishidu's combat power is very strong. The Hu cavalry who escorted them were quickly defeated. However, it is strange that although the soldiers of the Lux Governor have no armor, most of them have weapons. You must know that Shi Hu was afraid that they would make trouble before leaving, but he confiscated all their equipment. Apparently someone is causing trouble.

After defeating the Hu cavalry who was guarding them, Liang Li listened to someone's opinion, immediately attacked Yongcheng, and called himself the general of the Eastern Expedition (Jiang Zuo) in Yongcheng. Later, with Yongcheng as the base, with the help of someone, it was like opening a hanging, and the Shizhao army in Yongliang and Liangzhou was hanged. None of the fortresses encountered could stop Liang Qian's pace. In less than a month, Liang Qian captured half of Yongliang. On the way to attack, Liang Qian also actively absorbed the soldiers who were dissatisfied with Shi Zhao. Its power is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, and up to now, there are tens of thousands of foot riders.

Liang Li's uprising was immediately taken seriously by Shi Hu. Under Shi Hu's strict orders. Guanzhong guard, Leping Wang Shibao led the headquarters of 50,000 cavalry from Chang'an, ready to destroy the Liang Qian forces in one fell swoop. But what he didn't know was that someone had set a trap for him, waiting for him to come. And this trap even has the assistance of Shi Bao's teammates.

……

The above are the major events that happened in the first month of the fifth year of Yonghe. And these two major events were the beginning of Shi Zhao's demise. But this has nothing to do with Liu Ye. At this time, he was busy appeasing the Zhao people who came to take refuge in him. At the same time, he is also recruiting elite soldiers to prepare for the next spring war.

It is only early February, but the number of Zhao people (i.e., Han Chinese) who have come to seek refuge with Liu Ye has already exceeded 10,000. And it is still increasing every day, which greatly surprised Liu Ye. Liu Ye smelled a hint of conspiracy from it, because none of these Zhao people who came to join him were attacked by the Hu people. This is just so abnormal.

But now Liu Ye can't manage so much. It's a big deal, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth! As long as the strength is strong enough, anything can be solved!

Like other forces of the same period, the Xixiang Army also implemented a system of integration of soldiers and peasants. This recruitment is not a recruitment of professional soldiers. Instead, they recruited strong Zhao people as military pawns, and then distributed public and private fields to them. The rest of those who do not meet the standards of martial arts are tun soldiers.

In troubled times, being a soldier is the most popular. Although there are dangers, the benefits are also high. If you want to farm and get rich with peace of mind, it is simply impossible! The Zhao people who came to defect to Liu Ye, many of them came with the intention of becoming a member of the Xixiang Army. 'Leading soldiers to fight and make meritorious contributions' is the dream of every Han family's son. Therefore, early in the morning, the recruitment office of the Xixiang Army was full of people of different ages.

There was an open space to the east of the recruiting camp. In the middle of the clearing, there were more than a dozen people sitting or lying. These more than ten people were wearing white robes, except for the fat man at the head with a silver unicorn embroidered on the collar, and the rest of them were white unicorns. More than a dozen people were lazily lying on the grass basking in the sun. It's like an uncle. In fact, they are also at the level of the uncle in the Xixiang Army.

"Brother, who are they? How to lie there? A tall man asked the strong man in front of him. It was a bit boring as the line was too long. The tall man was looking for something to pass the time.

"Brother, you've only recently arrived!" The strong man said very enthusiastically. Although the strong man has a fierce face, he is still quite good.

"I only arrived the day before yesterday, and today I came here to recruit for the first time!" The tall man said honestly.

"Brother, do you know that there are two kinds of people in the Xixiang Army who are the most unprovoked?" The strong man asked mysteriously.

The tall man shook his head.

"Then let me tell you. lest you run into those nobles. Those nobles don't have a good temper! I'm going to beat people at every turn! ”

"Brother, I'm sorry for you! I'll ask you to go back and rub it later! The tall man said sincerely.

"Well said! Say! ”

"The first type is the white-robed guard! Especially the tricolor armor in the white-robed guard. These people are particularly short-tempered. It's best to take a detour when you meet them! The strong man said patiently.

"White-robed guards? Tricolor armor? The tall man asked suspiciously. The place where he lived was relatively remote, and he only knew that the Xixiang Army had defeated the allied forces. That's why he came to defect. As for what exactly happened, he does not know.

The strong man seemed to understand the tall man's doubts, and patiently explained: "The white-robed guards are Liu Yuanjun's pro-army, and the three-color guard armor is the elite of the white-robed guards. In the last Dongying battle against the Hu people. More than 30 tricolor armors defeated more than 400 elite assault riders! (Someone's brain!) )”

"That's amazing!" The tall man was surprised. The power of the Turf, he knows! I didn't expect that the tricolor armor could defeat more than ten times the elite assault cavalry! This made him very adorable!

"That's right! The dozen or so people you just saw were the lowest white-veined armor. Don't look at them as just the lowest level of white-veined armor. But each of them can lift a jack with one hand, and they can tear the tiger and leopard alive with their bare hands! In the past ten days, dozens of people have come to challenge them. But no one has been able to make three moves (which is true!). The strong man said exaggeratedly.

"That's too strong, isn't it?" The tall man continued to exclaim.

"It's alright! The strength of the Silver Armor is even stronger than theirs. Five white-striped armors can't beat a single silver-patterned armor. The chubby middle-aged man sitting in the middle just now was the silver-veined armor. ”

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" The tall man continued to be surprised. Originally, he thought that the white-veined armor was strong enough, but he didn't expect that there were even more awesome existences than them!

"That's what it is! I'm just telling the truth. The strong man spread his hands.

"That's right, brother! Since it's a tricolor armor! And what about the same color? The tall man asked curiously.

"The last color is the purple armor. I haven't seen it yet, but it's said that they have the strength to rival the king of Xiang! The strong man said mysteriously.

"King Xiang? How is this possible? The tall man couldn't believe it. Xiang Wang is Xiang Yu, who is an invincible existence among the people. It's completely immortalized.

"I don't believe it, but someone has seen it with their own eyes! That purple-veined guard armor could scare the six thousand Hu people into not daring to move with the strength of one person! (False)"

The tall man did not continue to speak, and stayed far away with a shocked face. In the end, it was the strong man who woke him up.

"That's right! Brothers. You just said that in the Xixiang Army, there are two kinds of people that cannot be messed with! What else is it? The tall man skipped the topic and continued.

"There's really only one last kind of person."

"One?"

"A little Langjun wearing a fox fur and holding a folding fan, who looks unusually handsome!"

"Is that the person?" The tall man pointed to someone who was walking towards Fei Xiang and them.

"That's him! Remember! Don't mess with him! ”

"Why? This little Langjun looks quite harmless! ”

"She's not a man, she's Liu Yuanjun's wife!" The strong man specially lowered his voice.

"Female? How can it be? doesn't even have a chest, how can it be a son-in-law! The tall man exclaimed innocently.

……

At the same time, someone who was walking suddenly stopped, lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "No chest??? ”

……

"It's over!" Fei Xiang and his subordinates couldn't help but say after seeing someone's expression.
