Chapter 14 Zhenxi Army
The Zhenxi Army camp is located a hundred miles northwest of Songlan City, guarding the road leading to the eastward advance of the largest barbarian tribes in Western Xinjiang.
But the real enemy of the Zhenxi Army is not these Western barbarians, but the demon clan in the depths of the Western Wilderness, in the mountains of 100,000.
The Xiban was sandwiched between the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Clan, swaying from side to side, and life was very difficult.
When the demon clan was powerful, the Western Barbarians could only rely on the Demon Clan to attack the Western Frontier, and when the Immortal Dynasty had a male lord, they swept the Western Wilderness, and they were driven away by the Zhenxi Army and became cannon fodder for attacking the Demon Clan. The battlefield between the Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Clan broke out most of the time in the territory where the Western Barbarians lived.
Both forces have the strength to exterminate the Xiban, but they both consciously did not ignore this approach, but regarded the Xiban, a land with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, as a buffer land.
The court of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty has always looked down on the Western Barbarians, so when the Daicheng that the Ye Cong family has been in charge of for generations was captured by the Western Barbarians, the government and the opposition were furious, thinking that it had humiliated the face of the imperial court.
It's just that Ye Cong's father and son are also smart, quickly guided public opinion, and blamed the loss of land on the head of the Zhenxi Army, coupled with the behind-the-scenes promotion of people with intentions, this black pot fell from the sky and buckled Zhao Tiande's head.
......
The camp was brightly lit, and the 60,000 Zhenxi troops had been assembled and lined up on the training ground.
Long Shi Gu Changqing's face was gloomy.
And next to him, Ye Cong stroked the seal of General Zhengxi with his hand, smiling and groaning.
The overseer Tuoba Hong is nowhere to be found.
Ye Cong's eyes swept over Gu Changqing's face, and he sneered in his heart.
This guy didn't greet him before, so he deceived the general seal from Zhao Tiande, and he also wanted to completely control the military power of the Zhenxi Army before he arrived.
It's just that what Gu Changqing didn't expect was that the leading captains of the Zhenxi Army didn't appreciate it, saying that no one wanted to command them except Zhao Tiande.
This is expected, the six lieutenants have followed Zhao Tiande for decades, and even their own surname is Zhao! How could they be willing to accept Gu Changqing's command?
But Gu Changqing has been in the Zhenxi Army for more than ten years, and he also thinks that he has cultivated his own lineage, he originally thought that he would replace those disobedient captains with these lineages, and after some operation, the Zhenxi Army will be in his pocket. Anyway, the general is printed in his hand, and theoretically speaking, he can do whatever he wants.
It's just that those henchmen who are looking forward to him have righteously rejected his arrangement.
and said that if it wasn't for Zhao Tiande's personal order, they would not follow it.
At this time, Gu Changqing found out that those guys who usually only look at him are also supporters of Zhao Tiande, and at the critical moment, they can't be relied on at all!
In a fit of shame, he was about to catch two murderous Liwei who didn't like his eyes, but Ye Cong had already arrived.
Ye Cong and Gu Changqing also bought the people around him before, and when he got the military seal, someone notified Ye Cong.
Ye Cong naturally knew the value of General Zhenxi's seal. Without saying a word, he rushed over.
When he arrived, Gu Changqing was coercing and enticing several lieutenants and henchmen.
It's just that after Ye Cong came, the situation immediately changed.
Ye Cong directly took the general's seal from his hand in the name of the envoy and started a series of operations.
Ye Cong is much simpler and rude than Gu Changqing.
He knew very well that in a short period of time, he would fundamentally subdue the Zhenxi Army for his own use.
But his main purpose has nothing to do with subduing the Zhenxi army.
He just wanted to fabricate the charges and sit on the charges of rebellion in the western army, so that he would have a reason to deal with Zhao Tiande.
As long as Zhao Tiande falls, the entire Western Xinjiang will be under his control, and there is only a Zhenxi Army, so why worry about it?
In the future, the property confiscated from Zhao Tiande's house will be enough to build ten such armies!
Only Zhao Tiande, a fool, abides by the military system and always maintains the Zhenxi Army at the number of 60,000 people.
"The Zhao family doesn't have a smart person, so there will be today!"
Ye Cong sneered in his heart.
With the big seal in hand, Ye Cong immediately ordered the Zhenxi Army to gather.
"All of them?"
Ye Cong said with a sneer.
Tens of thousands of troops were assembled in less than two quarters of an hour, which opened Ye Cong's eyes.
"It's a mighty army! It's a pity that it can't be used by me...... Then it can only be ruined!"
Ye Cong sighed in his heart.
"The overseer Tuoba Hong is nowhere to be found......"
Gu Changqing responded.
"Oh......"
Ye Cong replied meaningfully, disapproving. He had sent someone to contact Tuoba Hong before, wanting to invite him to join the camp of encircling and suppressing Zhao Tiande, but there was no reply.
Ye Cong also tried to visit Tuoba Hong, but was also refused.
But Ye Cong was also helpless about this. Tuoba Hong comes from the royal family, can be co-opted, can be isolated, but must not be an enemy.
Tuobahiro's silence has actually shown his neutral attitude.
Tonight he avoided the camp, in fact, he chose not to help each other, if Ye Cong succeeded, Tuoba Hong would naturally choose to stand on his side, if he failed, this goods would definitely help Zhao Tiande say good things, and then Ye Cong's life would not be easy.
"Where is Captain Zhao Changshun?"
Ye Cong swept the school field with cold eyes, and his luck was overrun.
He's going to kill someone tonight!
We want to force the Zhenxi Army into a big commotion!
"Zhao Changshun is here!"
The named lieutenant strode out, a sturdy man in his early forties, with a scar on his left cheek that was more than an inch long.
Ye Cong smiled coldly: "This special envoy is ordered by the Son of Heaven to investigate all kinds of illegal things in the Zhenxi Army! Now it is found out that you colluded with the Ximan, and the general resold the materials of the Ximan, the crime is unforgivable, and he will not be forgiven! Someone, drag him down and cut him down!"
"Aha?kill me?!"
Zhao Changshun was stunned, as if he didn't hear these words clearly.
"Envoy, is it reckless?"
Beside Ye Cong, Gu Changqing's face also changed. Zhao Changshun is a captain with 10,000 elite soldiers, with outstanding military achievements, and he has a good reputation in the mouths of soldiers.
What's more, Zhao Changshun himself is a seven-rank martial arts cultivator, once he breaks out, the people around Ye Cong may not be able to control him.
When the time comes......
Gu Changqing didn't dare to think about it.
Ye Cong waved his hand, indicating that everything was under control.
"Haha...... Brethren, this old rabbit said he was going to cut me down?"
Ye Cong is white and pure, in the eyes of a rough man like Zhao Changshun, he is naturally a rabbit-like character.
Zhao Changshun seemed to have heard a very funny joke, and after a haha, his face turned cold: "Old rabbit, Lao Tzu has been killing barbarians and demons here since he knew how to hold a knife, and you said that I resold materials to Ximan?"
Zhao Changshun swiped and pulled out the machete.
"I Zhao Changshun has blocked the knife for the Son of Heaven and shed blood for the imperial court! You dare to slander me like this, Lao Tzu will kill you with a knife, and then go to the gate of the palace in Gyeonggi to cry!"
Zhao Changshun was not stunned at all.
