Sun Ming's five people competed in the court to maximize their interests in this way, which also made Sun Jinghui and their worth rise to varying degrees, which indirectly improved the strength of the gate valve.

The Qiu Empire emphasizes literature and light military force, but that is just a superficial phenomenon, to show the world, in fact, as the head of the five major gate valves, he knows best, if the gate valve wants to prosper, then he must grasp the military power in his hands, and only by firmly grasping the military power in his hands can he always ensure the prosperity of the gate valve.

Sun Ming, why did they dare to force the emperor as imperial courtiers?

If it weren't for that, or let Duan Hui control one-third of the military power of the empire, then it is unknown what the Qiu Empire is like now.

After this expedition to Jingzhou, the Huo family sent an army of 50,000, and finally captured the three counties of Jiangxia County, Nanjun and Changsha County after a series of victories, and carried out strict selection during the combing of the three counties, so that the army stationed in Jingzhou swelled to 250,000 troops, and this does not include the 120,000 troops stationed in Yangzhou and Xuzhou of the Qiu Empire.

If they are all added together, the Huo family has expanded the army under his command to an unprecedented 370,000 army after the battle in Jingzhou, in this world where military power determines the ultimate strength, if the head of the family, Huo Jie, is not stupid, then he will definitely not give up this hard-won opportunity.

Therefore, the next confrontation is the issue of the establishment of the army under the command of the five major lords, and when it comes to their own interests, then Sun Ming and they will definitely not give an inch.

Don't look at the Huo family's command of 370,000 troops, but there are not so many really on-call troops, 120,000 troops are stationed in Yangzhou, Xuzhou under the counties controlled by the Huo family, and Jiangxia County, Nan County's unique geographical environment, in order to ensure the interests of the Huo family, but also to ensure that the three counties are not captured by the Yu Empire, the Huo family stationed 120,000 troops in these three counties.

There are 120,000 troops stationed in the three counties of Jiangxia County, Nan County, and Changsha County, and it is certain that the Huo family has a heavy burden, but even so, the Huo family will not easily downsize the soldiers under its command.

A new round of confrontation resumed.

As a lieutenant, Xin Ning sat firmly in the first position in the military of the Qiu Empire, but because he was suppressed by the Sun family, the army under the command of the Xin family became the bottom of the existence.

Xin Ning has been trying to do everything he can to let the Xin family directly control the military establishment for expansion, and with the unexpected rise of the Huo family, Xin Ning thinks this is a good opportunity.

It's better to be sparse, even if Xin Ning and other gate valves suppress the Huo family and let the Huo family's army be downsized, but the actual effect is not great, it is better to expand his own army than this, this is the most important existence.

As an old fox, Xin Ning stood up with a big grin, and said to Duan Hui: "Your Majesty, this time to conquer Jingzhou, the Huo family did not abide by the military agreement of the gate lords, and actually expanded the army under his command without permission, this is simply a provocation to the other gate lords naked-naked!" ”

Xin Ning looked at Huo Xiong meaningfully, and Sun Ming interrupted with this: "What Captain Xin said is right, the Huo family does not abide by the military agreement of the gate lord, and according to the military agreement, the Huo family should immediately reduce the army under his command to 200,000 troops!" ”

If you want to say that among the heads of this gate valve family, who is most unwilling to see the strength of the Huo family increase greatly, it is none other than Sun Ming, because the Huo family has become stronger, and the Sun family has the greatest impact.

Therefore, in order to ensure the authority of his own door valves, Sun Ming will definitely unite with other gate valves openly and secretly, so as to suppress the Huo family who faintly surpasses the Sun family.

This is not well restored, Feng Xin is also involved, and the underlying meaning is very simple, that is, to let the Huo family spit out an army that should not exist, because this is also a great threat to them.

At this point, Sun Ming's four opinions are unprecedentedly unanimous.

But did Huo Jie bear it in vain? The answer is of course impossible, Huo Jie retorted at the moment after hearing what the four said: "The current situation is not what it used to be, with the empire attacking the Yu Empire Jingnan, the empire not only has to face the Yu Empire with a critical relationship, but also has to face the Ning Empire with a delicate relationship, so the pressure on the empire's defense will inevitably surge, in order to ensure the absolute security of the empire, my Huo family is willing to pay out of my own pocket to stabilize the territory of the empire!" ”

What he said was a righteous and awe-inspiring thing, and all the ministers present were enthusiastic, of course, they were all ministers belonging to the Huo family.

In fact, Huo Jie is right, because the Qiu Empire is located in the southeast, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, plus the newly conquered land of Jingnan, if you still rely on the original army, there will definitely be a place that is difficult to defend in place, and the Huo family alone uses 120,000 to station in the counties controlled by Xuzhou and Yangzhou, which is just a stable situation, once the situation is turbulent, it will be a devastating blow to the Huo family.

At this point, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Xin Ning will definitely not give Sun Ming a chance to refute them, as a person with ulterior motives, Xin Ning has been waiting for this opportunity, an opportunity for all the gates to expand the army.

No, the opportunity has come.

Xin Ning bowed to Duan Hui and said solemnly: "Minister Xin Ning seconded the proposal, the minister thinks that what the Great Sikong said is a true word, with the expansion of the empire's territory, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of troops, in order to solve this potential crisis, the minister dares to ask His Majesty to re-plan the gate lord military covenant, so that the new gate lord military covenant will become the wings to protect the empire!" ”

Dumbfounded, when Xin Ning said this, Sun Ming and the others were dumbfounded, no one thought that Xin Ning would wait here, but if you think about it, this is the best time.

The Sun family now has an army of 300,000, even if it is expanded, on the premise of not damaging the foundation, 400,000 troops are already the limit of the Sun family.

Similarly, the Huo family's army reached 370,000 troops, which is already a reality, so it is impossible to downsize the Huo family, since this is the case, why not take this opportunity to let the other three gate lords expand the army under their command?

In this way, all the gate valves can get benefits, and after a short period of stagnation, Jing Hui and Feng Xin seconded the proposal at the moment, and they will never let go of the opportunity to expand the army without effort.

Duan Hui sat on the dragon chair as if he was stupid, and he could still have such an operation, this operation was simply incredible, and he couldn't imagine it!

Xin Ning's appearance of looking five big and three thick, who would have thought that his Xin Ning's heart would be so delicate, so that in order to achieve the goal in his heart, Xin Ning dug such a deep pit out.

This is to drop everyone inside, at least when Sun Ming fully understood, he couldn't help but scold Xin Ning in his heart, secretly scolding him for being an old fox.

Huo Jie had to pinch his nose and admit this resolution in order to protect the army under the command of the gate lord, Jing Hui and Feng Xin even raised their hands to agree with this resolution, even if he Sun Ming was opposing, under the absolute advantage, Xin Ning's resolution to propose to revise the gate lord's military covenant was magically passed.

Through the revision of the military covenant of the gate lords, the strength of the gate lords will be expanded, and the gap between them will be significantly shortened.
