The emperor was surprised, and secretly said that Zhou Yun was really agile, and he figured out all this thing, in the end, he was still a naughty child. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The emperor asked, "Then have you found a candidate?" ”

Zhou Yun shook his head, these things were not something he should think about, and he had never considered it before, but now that he suddenly asked, he naturally couldn't think of it.

After pondering for a long time, he said: "Father, in the imperial capital city and the surrounding areas, in addition to the Imperial Forest Army, the Praetorian Guard Army and the Eight Longxiang Army, there are only Yang Xiong, Du Yuan, and Jiang Lin's men and horses, if General Du is annihilated by Yang Xiong, then only Jiang Lin will be left." ”

It is necessary to mention that the Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard, these two armies are completely controlled by the emperor, of which the Imperial Forest Army is responsible for guarding the imperial palace, and the Praetorian Guard is responsible for guarding the city and guarding the elite of the imperial capital.

There were 20,000 Imperial Guards and 80,000 Praetorian Guards, a total of 100,000 people.

Don't underestimate these 100,000 people, this is the most elite army in the world, even the 3,000 people under Zhang Wu now, may not be comparable, especially the 20,000 Imperial Forest Army, any one can be one as ten!

It is precisely with these 100,000 people that the emperor can sit firmly on the dragon chair, otherwise there is no need to rebel against the thief, and the court would have been in chaos a long time ago.

Finally, the eight dragon army; This is a newly established army, when Qin Huai was in the sky, the world was full of smoke, the emperor deeply felt that if a strong army was not formed, it would definitely not be able to stabilize the overall situation, so he formed this army.

Eight divisions, each with 20,000 to 40,000 people, is served as a general by a carefully selected veteran, a total of eight divisions, and the actual strength is 200,000; Among them, the cavalry accounted for half, about 100,000 people!

This is a bloody investment, even if the emperor is rich in the world, it is very difficult to form 100,000 cavalry, and it is necessary to offer excellent war horses from all over the world, especially when the world is in turmoil, it is even more difficult to find war horses.

200,000 plus the Praetorian Guard and the Imperial Forest Army, a total of 300,000 people, this is all the soldiers and horses in the emperor's hands now, all of them are stationed in the military camp where Qin Huai was originally stationed in the imperial capital.

As for Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin's soldiers and horses are a little weak, although there are also 200,000, but they are all recently formed, not to mention the war, even the establishment is very chaotic, if it has to be more elite, I am afraid that even the family private soldiers in Zhang Ming's hands are not as good, the name is 200,000, in fact, even the 20,000 Praetorian Guards on the emperor are not as good.

The emperor smiled and said, "Yun'er, apart from these, can't you think of other generals who have a lot of troops and can control the overall situation?" ”

"Father is talking about foreign aid? Other generals stationed outside the border? ”

The emperor moved his finger and wrote a word on Zhou Yun's hand.

Zhou Yun savored it, immediately reacted, and said, "Father is talking about General Ling Feng?" Didn't he quell the rebellion in the three northern counties? ”

The emperor said: "After I leave, you will immediately issue an order to crown him as the general of Tianwei and let him lead the troops back to the court." ”

"Yun'er, only he can suppress Yang Xiong, only if these two people are in the imperial capital, you can be the emperor safely, but you must always remember to beware of these two people, you can't let them join forces, otherwise the country will also be overturned!"

Zhou Yun suddenly realized: "Father, my son remembers." ”

"But... Father, if General Ling returns to the dynasty, what about the three northern counties, isn't it even more chaotic? ”

The emperor smiled bitterly: "Now in this world, it is impossible not to be chaotic, you don't have to think about it so much now, first grasp the imperial power in your hands, and then talk about quelling the chaos." ”

"Stand down, I'm tired."

After saying this, it can be clearly seen that the emperor's cheeks are even paler.

Zhou Yun nodded, saluted and slowly withdrew from the hall.

........

That night, something big happened in the imperial capital.

Yang Xiong pretended to pass the holy decree, asked the eunuch to read the holy decree to Du Yuan's military camp, and passed Du Yuan into the palace, and the emperor summoned him.

This kind of thing is very common, Du Yuan didn't even have the slightest suspicion, even if he followed the eunuch into the palace.

After entering the palace, Yang Xiong sent more than a dozen generals with good martial arts to forcibly arrest Du Yuan; At the same time, Yang Xiong's 150,000 army, plus Jiang Lin's 200,000 army ordered by the emperor, rushed into Du Yuan's military camp together, and in a big battle, Du Yuan's 160,000 troops were killed in 60,000, and 100,000 were captured, and these captured troops naturally fell into Yang Xiong's hands.

The battle was fought for a day and a night, and the flames of war subsided...

This is the largest bloody battle that has ever occurred around the imperial capital, at the moment of the opening of the war, the imperial capital was in chaos, the people were in danger, the streets and alleys were closed, for fear of harming themselves, and the officials of the imperial court also began to be suspicious, estimating that it should be changing, and began to look for a big tree to rely on.

After Du Yuan's army was defeated, all the ministers in the court who originally supported Du Yuan were on Yang Xiong's side at this moment, and Yang Xiong's power was unstoppable for a while.

On the next day, rumors spread in the imperial capital, and there was such a small news preacher, saying that it was because of Du Yuan's rebellion that he was suppressed by Yang Xiong, and Yang Xiong sent troops to receive the emperor's secret order.

In this way, it spread for two days, and the streets and alleys of the imperial capital were all over the place, causing a trend.

Then on the third day, the emperor suddenly issued an order to clarify that this matter was indeed a holy decree issued by the emperor, and then Yang Xiong and Jiang Lin were ordered to suppress the rebellion, Du Yuan was purely to blame, this is the end of the anti-thief, and in this way, the emperor also erected his prestige, which caused such a pressure on the anti-thief.

............

Let's talk about Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming's current situation is very dangerous, yesterday he has received 20,000 light horsemen from the county town of Qingliang County, coming to Wushan, get this news, he immediately stationed in place, build a strong wall to prepare for defense; Although Zhang Ming's strength is not very good, his mind is still meticulous, he knows that he can't beat Wei Ning, so he is careful in everything, and while marching slowly, he is also always paying attention to the movement in the direction of the county town, and it is precisely because of this that he can escape a catastrophe.

The speed of the light cavalry is very fast, in the blink of an eye, it is more than 100 miles, and it is only two or three days away from the county town to Wushan, and to Zhang Ming's location, it only takes two days to arrive, but Chu Jun's move, Zhang Ming knew, and then set up camp and no longer advanced, built a wall, and prepared to resist the cavalry with a strong wall.

This idea is also what Zhu Ru thought, to deal with the cavalry, you have to go deep and strong!

The effect is very obvious, Chu Jun's 20,000 troops just arrived, is to see a very huge and strong camp appeared in front of him, although the wall was built in a hurry, but not the cavalry can cross over, Chu Jun with the cavalry stood under the camp for a long time, and finally had no choice but to withdraw, but he did not withdraw to the county, but let a general lead 15,000 light cavalry back to the county, and he himself, with the remaining 5,000 people camped at a distance of fifty miles from Zhang Ming's camp, as if to fight a protracted war.

At this time in Zhang Ming's military camp, Zhang Ming couldn't help laughing, and his expression was extremely happy.

Seeing this, Zhu Ru smiled and said, "General, what are you laughing at?" ”

Zhang Ming laughed and said, "This Wei Ning is so cute; I was worried that there was no excuse to delay the march in time, but I didn't expect him to let Chu Jun bring the troops here, now it's good, I can stay justifiably, and I don't have to worry about it every day. I really didn't expect it... Good... Ha ha.... ”

Zhu Ru also laughed: "What the general said is very true, the further forward it is, the more dangerous it is, it is better to stop here and be safe." (To be continued.) )
