Chapter 157: The Northern Kingdom
Zhongzhou's talisman was also stolen, which was a great blow to Lin Sixing.
This time, the Zhao family is not just behind Lin Sixing's back, this can be regarded as a stab in Lin Sixing's heart.
Zhongzhou is a strategic place, and Zhongzhou's iron cavalry is also well-known throughout the country, which is the inheritance of the Xuanjia heavy cavalry of the previous dynasty. The 130,000 Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry is of even greater strategic significance, and it can be said that this is the foundation of the Lanhe Empire's army.
If the 10,000 Night Wolf troops are the soul of the Lanhe Empire's army, then the 130,000 Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry is the body that makes up the Lanhe Empire's army, the two complement each other and play a role in promoting and restraining each other, they are all swords and armor in the hands of the Lanhe Empire.
But now, the Night Wolf Force is essentially in charge of Lin Hanyu's disobedience, and he has lost 130,000 Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry one after another, which is like another broken arm for Lin Sixing, a lame man.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Sixing rummaged through the boxes and found that the secret room that only he could enter on weekdays had been swept away. This secret room, which symbolizes absolute safety, was unexpectedly robbed, and as if ridiculing Lin Sixing, all the talismans were gone, and only the talismans of the Imperial Guard were restored and kept there.
If it was before, even if the talisman was stolen, it could be issued immediately, and it was forbidden to use the talisman to mobilize the army. But now...... Lin Sixing understood that even if he did this, those letters would not be sent out at all.
His orders could not be passed on to the imperial capital at all, and it was precisely because of this that the thieves also left the talisman of the imperial guard. Because the thieves also knew that the real talisman for mobilizing the Imperial Guard was Lin Sixing himself, and he didn't do anything to steal Lin Sixing.
Lin Sixing felt as if someone had hit him the back of the head, his eyes were dark, and he was still a step too late. Lin Sixing was extremely annoyed and remorseful, if he hadn't been so depressed for the past few days, he might have thought of recovering military power as soon as possible instead of letting the Zhao family remind him.
Zhongzhou and Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry fell into the Zhao family's pocket as promised, and the remaining talismans were all sent to Lanting.
Zhao Fu was originally the king of the northwest of Lin Haoyan, and before Lin Haoyan died, he added another "command of the national military power" to him, with the intention of making Zhao Fu an equal king with power and Lin Sixing.
"What is this?" In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Fu saw that there was an extra box on his table at some point, and he immediately thought of Zhao Qian. During this time, Zhao Qian was still very filial to him as a disciple, and he would send him anything delicious and fun.
Zhao Qian hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, this box had nothing to do with him.
Well...... If there is a little bit of connection, it is that this box appears here, and it must be the handiwork of the Zhao family.
Zhao Fu turned his head to look at Zheng Yuan again, but it was obvious that this box had nothing to do with Zheng Yuan, and Zheng Yuan also shook his head very honestly.
"Uncle Feng?" Zhao Fu asked Feng Yu to command the envoy.
"Not me." Feng Yu also shook his head.
Zhao Fu finally set his eyes on Xia Yingyang, who was still lying on the side and drunk unconscious, this time he didn't even have the heart to ask.
Regarding Lin Haoyan's assassination, Zhao Fu also got the news from the night wolf, and he also knew that Lin Hanyu and Lin Haoyan also had a younger brother, but now it seems that this younger brother is not a good stubble. Empress Dowager Mei's actions also made Zhao Fu very disgusted, the tiger poison does not eat children, Zhao Fu could not have imagined that Empress Dowager Mei would kill Lin Haoyan in front of the ministers in a frenzy during the court meeting.
And what made Zhao Fu even more disdainful was that Empress Dowager Mei actually used Shi Yiqiu to blackmail Lin Haoyan.
Vicious woman!
Zhao Fu opened the mysterious box in front of everyone, which was full of talismans wrapped in silk cloth, from south to north, from west to east, in addition to the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry and the Imperial Guard, it even included the militia troops of the Lanhe Empire.
Sure enough, it's a talisman...... Zhao Fuxin said, he had this premonition, Lin Haoyan asked him to command the country's army before he died, and now it seems that it is uncertain.
In fact, everyone knows that Lin Haoyan's separation before his death was just to disgust Empress Dowager Mei and Lin Sixing. Even if the military power is handed over to Zhao Fu, it is estimated that not many people take it seriously, after all, it was just Lin Haoyan's dictation, and he didn't even leave a token.
It's just that I didn't expect that this day would really come, and it would come so quickly, as soon as Zhao Fu learned of the tragedy that happened in the imperial capital, this box of talismans appeared here.
The scene became quiet, and everyone present was a good speaker in Lanting City, so they also learned about the change of imperial power in the imperial capital, and they all understood the meaning of Zhao Fu, the "equal king".
The Zhao family has taken the lead in the incident, and even the country name and the country have been decided. And just today, there is new news that there are three more founding countries, namely the Chen State located in Nanling, the Xu State located on the coast of the East China Sea, and the Ji State closest to their northwest.
Faced with the sudden situation, Zhao Fu couldn't make up his mind for a while. He, like most people, intends to choose to wait and see.
But there is definitely not much time left for this stability, and there is no need to have a hunch. Even a political idiot can perceive that this country that is falling apart is like an old man who has experienced the vicissitudes of time and aging, like a decaying and falling leaf, it is irresistibly going to perish.
It's not far from the chaos in the world, Zhao Fu knows.
"What are you looking at me for? Do I have flowers on my face? Zhao Fu asked.
Indeed, Zhao Fu has now become the focus of the audience, and everyone is watching him and waiting for his decision. King of Equality, that is a title that can be equal to the Emperor. If Zhao Fu happily accepted this separation, then everyone here would be from the dragon's work.
Moreover, not to mention that Lin Haoyan generously continued to seal the entire northwest to Zhao Fu intact, and also granted the military power of the whole country together, and the relationship between Lin Haoyan and Zhao Fu was very good during his lifetime, and they were commensurate with brothers.
They all know that Lin Haoyan obviously gave up the throne to Lin Sixing, but Lin Haoyan actually left the throne to Zhao Fu. Zhao Fu also stayed in the northwest for a long time, and led his troops to win several major battles, and Zhao Fu's prestige in the northwest was unmatched, after Lin Haoyan's death.
It can be said that once the world is in turmoil, Lin Haoyan will be the best candidate for the Central Plains - he is strong in his own strength, and he is in charge of the entire border army in the northwest, and now he is nominally equal to the emperor of the Lanhe Empire, which naturally overwhelms other kings with different surnames.
