"It's been a while, and Dongjiang hasn't replied yet?"

Su Chen muttered to himself, as early as a month ago, when he was preparing to send troops to quell the chaos, Su Chen issued a secret order to go to Eastern Xinjiang.

This is one of his original hole cards, if the Eight Kings are not so easy to solve, Si Long will be a wonder soldier.

But now it seems that until the domestic rebellion was put down, Si Long did not send troops for a long time.

The holy decree issued by Su Chen was like a stone like the sea, and there was no news.

Su Chen didn't suspect Si Long, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't have this idea.

Si Long has been strong and resolute all his life, holding military power, it can be said that he has a little taste of self-respect for the army, but he will not rebel.

If Si Long wanted to rebel, he had countless excellent opportunities to rebel, and his own reputation was high enough, so there was no need for Si Long to wait until this time to rebel.

But why did he delay replying to me?

Could it be that he believed in me so much that he thought that I could easily put down the rebellion in the country, or did the group of cubs of the Orc Empire start to get restless again?

"Emperor. ”

The twister on the side saw that the emperor was a little distracted, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

The emperor has been in retreat for three days, and today he should go to the Military Aircraft Pavilion to deal with the backlog of important government affairs.

"Off the twist. ”

Su Chen suddenly spoke, and asked without looking back: "You say, how much time should it take for the military envoy to travel from the imperial capital to the eastern frontier?"

"According to the previous time, if it is an unimportant military report, it will be a month at a time, and half a month at a time. ”

"What if it's a very urgent military report?"

"The general will definitely send a Nirvana Realm master to personally deliver the military report, and the military report will arrive in the imperial capital within seven days!"

Li's tone is particularly resolute, because for thousands of years, there have been countless military reports sent to the imperial capital from Dongjiang, and everyone basically knows the distance between Dongjiang and the imperial capital.

Although the distance between the two places is long, each generation of Si family generals, including Si Long in the present generation, attaches great importance to the speed of sending information to the imperial capital.

In fact, fighting a war is about intelligence, logistics, and population.

"It seems that you also believe in Si Long, right?"

Su Chen suddenly laughed.

"This ......"

He hesitated a little, shut up and didn't dare to speak again.

The emperor's question is very heart-wrenching, how dare the old slave talk nonsense.

Si Long is very popular because he has the unparalleled loyalty and righteousness of the Si family, iron bones, and full of merits.

The Si family has paid the lives of generations of descendants for the Great Xia Dynasty.

It's not so much that I believe in Si Long, but that it's a kind of respect for the Si family.

Su Chen didn't continue to ask, he retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Swing and go to the Military Aircraft Pavilion." ”

"Wow. ”

The twister nodded.

I don't know why, Liwuzi always feels that the emperor has something in his heart, as if he has made some kind of decision, but Liwuzi can't guess it.

......

Inside the Military Aircraft Pavilion.

After Su Chen's retreat ended, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion hurriedly informed the emperor of some of their decisions and thoughts in the past three days.

"Emperor, according to your instructions before the retreat, the remaining 170,000 new troops in the city have all been reorganized. ”

"The Great Xia Iron Army has supplemented 120,000 new troops, with a total number of 240,000, and the Great Xia Town Guards have replenished 70,000 new troops, with a total number of 170,000. At the same time, the Military Aircraft Pavilion has issued a holy decree to rectify the military strength of the whole country and recruit new soldiers. ”

"In addition, according to the emperor's will, the reform of the imperial capital and the ten major counties is proceeding smoothly. ”

Sima Yi stood in front of Su Chen, reporting on some of the movements made by the ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion in accordance with Su Chen's will these days.

With the pacification of the Eight Kings Rebellion, it was followed by the national reforms that Shang Ying had long prepared.

Among them, according to the emperor's intentions, the three reform directions of education, economy, and land are the top priorities, breaking the usurpation and plundering of resources by the family gatekeepers.

At the same time, it attached importance to agricultural development and commercial reform, reduced taxes in various places, and stimulated the economic development of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is the reform and reshuffle of the army, and there are many elite and outstanding grassroots generals in the Eight Kings Rebellion this time, which is worth focusing on.

At the same time, the Great Xia Iron Army and the Great Xia Town Guard Cavalry had already rewarded the cultivation exercises before Su Chen, and the cultivation resources of these two elite armies were also a huge number, and it took some effort to arrange.

"Good. ”

Su Chen nodded and said, "This time, the list of merits for quelling the rebellion of the Eight Kings with me has all been prepared?"

The list of heroes that Sima Yi handed over to Su Chen before was only a part, and there were more basic officials, the main city personnel on the battlefields on all sides, and the military exploits of the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers of the two elite armies also needed to be counted.

It's a lot of work and it takes time.

"It's basically sorted out, just waiting for the emperor's decree to commend it. ”

Guan Yiwu nodded on the side, he was in charge of this matter.

"Let's reward you at the next court. ”

Su Chen smiled and said, "Meritorious ministers should be rewarded in public at the Taihe Palace." ”

Guan Yiwu arched his hand and said: "The emperor's compassion for the heroes is the luck of the ministers." ”

"Emperor, there are some details of the reform you mentioned before, and the minister doesn't know much about them. ”

At this time, Shang Ying stood up and arched his hand and said, "I hope that the emperor can inform Yu Chen in detail." ”

Shang Ying was the minister mainly responsible for domestic reforms, not only to achieve the centralization of military and political power, to be responsible for the reform of official positions, but also to strengthen the Great Xia Dynasty from many aspects and different angles.

Although Shang Ying was shrewd and proficient in the way of reform, after all, some of the ideas put forward by Su Chen were too novel and avant-garde, making it difficult for Shang Ying to digest and understand for a while.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Su Chen nodded, understanding Shang Ying's difficulties, and said, "You come to the imperial study with me, and the others continue to deal with important government affairs." Leaving the twist, you go back and bring the important notes that have been reported by the Military Pavilion these days to the imperial study. ”

"Wow. ”

The crowd saluted respectfully.

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings was pacified, but with the return of the Ten Great Counties to the control of the emperor, there were still many things to deal with inside and outside the Great Xia Dynasty.

No one can steal half a day's leisure, and even the emperor needs to devote all his energy to handling government affairs.

"That's right. ”

Su Chen suddenly stopped and turned to look at Sima Yi.

"Emperor, what else do you command?"

Sima Yi hurriedly saluted.

"You should be prepared for things in the east, right?"

Su Chen said meaningfully.

"Everything is arranged, if there is really a problem in the east, the minister should have a plan to pay tribute. ”

Sima Yi groaned slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "It's just that the minister thinks that things are not so simple, please wait patiently, the minister believes that news will come from the east soon." ”

The crowd was silent and silent.

They knew that the emperor had already asked Sima Yi to pay attention to the movements in the eastern frontier.

It seems that the emperor is still a little wary of the general.

On the contrary, Sima Yi, who has always been suspicious, has been urging Su Chen to wait patiently.

Otherwise, with Su Chen's temper, the Great Xia Iron Army and the Great Xia Town Guards would have killed all the way to the eastern frontier after quelling the Eight Kings Rebellion, and asked Si Long for the guilt.

Su Chen will never allow factors outside of his control to exist for a long time, and the reason why Su Chen can wait patiently is to allow Sima Yi to exert his control over the overall situation to a certain extent.

"Well, I believe you. ”

Su Chen nodded, turned around and took Shang Ying and Liwuzi, and strode away from the Military Aircraft Pavilion.

Judging from the current situation, Sima Yi should have had contact with Si Long, but Su Chen didn't ask, he believed in Sima Yi's ability.

Su Chen's defense of Si Long was also a last resort, and Su Chen was actually willing to believe in Si Long like Sima Yi.

It's just that all the actions of Major General Si Yu are too abnormal, which makes Su Chen have to guard against Si Jiajun, and even Si Long is within the scope of Su Chen's questioning.

After all, he was the emperor of Great Xia, and Su Chen's every move represented the dignity and interests of the country, and he couldn't make a hasty decision to believe Si Long or not with his own emotions.

......

That night, after sunset, darkness shrouded the vast and boundless Middle Wilderness Continent.

The Great Xia Dynasty, the eastern frontier defense line fortress city.

The lights are bright, and the elite troops are moving silently.

In the general's mansion, Si Yugao sat on it, wearing a white scarf on his head, wearing filial piety clothes, and his face was full of grief.

The uncles who comforted him had just left, when a personal guard walked in, leaned over to Si Yu's side and whispered, "Major General, everything has been arranged, and the change of guard has been completed." ”

"Huh?"

Si Yu's eyes were dark, his face was sad, but a chill flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Didn't they say anything?"

But no one dared to disobey the order of the major general, and most of the army gathered in the school grounds, including several major generals and military divisions, waiting for the major generals. ”

"The people in the city on all sides have been replaced by our people. ”

The guard said softly: "The son of the outside, you can enter the city at any time." ”

The guards hesitated for a while, and then said: "It's just that there are a few old generals who are dissatisfied with the order of the major general, who want to make trouble, and are detained by our people in their respective mansions, and they are closed at this time. ”

In the absence of Si Long, Si Yu has absolute control over Si Jiajun, and even in a sense, his words are better than the words of the emperor.

"It's just a few old men, and it doesn't affect the overall situation. ”

Si Yu waved his hand and laughed softly: "Tonight, the Eastern Xinjiang will be broken." ”

"Go and inform the people outside the city, let them get ready, wait for the signal, and attack the city at any time!"

Si Yu's voice was full of hideous killing intent: "I want the entire Great Xia to come to my mother's funeral." ”

"Wow. ”

The guard smiled, and he accidentally showed his teeth, two long, sharp teeth baring out of his lips.

He's not human.

.....

At the same time.

In the mansion of an old general of Sima Jun, in the secret passage of the study.

The old general hurried all the way through the secret passage, walked to a spacious underground hall, and saw a majestic and upright figure illuminated by torches.

When the old general saw this person's back, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Commander, he has prepared everything." ”

"Alas....."

The majestic figure sighed faintly.

He turned around, revealing a resolute face, his lips pursed, and a pair of tiger eyes full of sadness.

This person is none other than Si Long, who has "died"!

Great Xia Dynasty, Great General!
