Chapter 136: Loyal Ministers and Filial Sons
"The marshal has far-reaching vision, which is deeper than what we have considered!" Hearing this, the generals in the handsome tent suddenly realized.
The Xiang family sits on the border, and the grassland barbarians have fought for hundreds of years, the two sides have formed a deep hatred, which can be described as a lot of blood debts, at this time the grassland barbarians need to use the Xiang family, so they made a lot of promises, but once the grassland barbarians destroyed the Chu Empire and merged the territory of the two countries, how could it be possible to leave an enemy with hundreds of thousands of troops to stay in the heart of the country?
In the past, the Xiang family was able to compete with the grassland barbarians, because of the strength of the Xiang family itself, and more importantly, with the Chu Ba Empire as the background, it continuously provided soldiers and food, and with this big rear, the Xiang family had no worries. But once the Chuba Empire is destroyed, the Xiang family is surrounded by enemies on all sides, a lonely place, and one government will compete with the whole country, and sooner or later it will be destroyed.
"Hmph, I had expected the future for a long time, but I still made the opposite, what is this for?" Xiang Jun said to himself: "Our Xiang family is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid that Emperor Chu Ba has already felt threatened, even if we don't do it, sooner or later, Emperor Chu Ba will attack us." So this time, this is an opportunity, the grassland barbarians want to use me, why don't I want to use the strength of the steppe barbarians? Ben Shuai has already decided that the 260,000 troops of Linbian Province, leaving 80,000, will guard the six main cities respectively, and the remaining 180,000 troops, divided into 18 battalions, led by this king himself, the whole army will attack, and together with the army of the grassland barbarians, go straight to the imperial capital of Chuba. ”
"The Chuba Empire has been inherited for hundreds of years, how can it be so easy to fight. This king is just going to let the steppe barbarians and the emperor of Chu lose both. Suddenly attacked, captured the imperial capital, and became a new generation of emperors. Hmph, no matter what, this king is a man of Chu Ba, and he can be recognized by the people and families in various places more than the barbarians of the grassland barbarians! After Ben Shuai ascends the throne, you and others are the founding heroes of the new dynasty, and glory and wealth are not a problem. Xiang Jun said loudly.
"Handsome and wise, we will follow to the death!"
"I'm going to introduce you to a new military officer. Lord Hong Yeol. Please come out. Xiang Jun suddenly stood up and spoke lightly behind the tent.
After the tent, he slowly walked in a man in black, who was shrouded in a dark black cloak. Can't see the face clearly. But this man's feet. It turned out to be a volley!
"The master of the Xuan Cultivation Realm!" all the people in the handsome tent were knowledgeable people, and when they saw this person's feet, they immediately exclaimed in surprise. Using his own Xuan Qi to fly in the air, this is exactly the sign of the Great Realm of Cultivation!
"This Master Hong Lie is my new hero, and many of the plans and schemes are planned by Master Hong Lie for me. Master Hong Lie himself is also a supreme master of the Great Realm of Cultivation and the Beginning of the Xuan Dynasty, with the help of the master, why worry about the big thing!
The great realm of cultivation is divided into three great realms: Tongxuan, Dixuan, and Tianxuan, and each great realm has three stages: primary, intermediate, and peak. A person who is at the beginning of the Xuan Dynasty is almost an invincible existence in the Chu Ba Empire, and generally there will be no Xuan cultivation masters in a third-class empire like the Chu Ba Empire, even in the second-class empire, or even in the first-class empire, the cultivation master is also an existence that cannot be ignored, and he has strong combat power.
"It's easy to say, General Xiang is a generation of outstanding people, majestic and strategic, and he is a person worthy of our service. The master Hong Lie spoke lightly, although his words were polite, but in his tone, there was no respect, but he was a little unruly, and he didn't take the people present or even Xiang Jun too seriously.
The faces of a few hot-tempered generals on the spot sank, secretly thinking that although your strength is high, you are alone, under the encirclement and suppression of my tens of thousands of troops, you are not scum left, what is there to be crazy about?
However, the world's masters all have tempers, and it seems that the current marshal also attaches great importance to this person, although the generals are unhappy in their hearts, they are not easy to attack.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent.
"Get out of the way, let me in!" A young voice came, and immediately the soldiers guarding the door said respectfully: "Young Master Cousin, the marshal is deliberating, and he has ordered no trespassing, so you better go back." ”
"Presumptuous, in the barracks, there are only imperial officers and soldiers, how can relatives say it. Besides, since it is a matter of discussion, why can't this join the army? You and others stop the officials, you can know that the law is brilliant, and no matter the military law, you can ask for the head of the waiter!"
Hearing this voice, the people in the big tent frowned slightly, and even General Xiang, who had always been domineering, frowned.
"That's it, let him in. Xiang Jun commanded loudly.
Outside the door, a young man in his twenties walked in, this person was wearing battle armor and a long sword at his waist, and after entering the tent, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I've seen the general." ”
"Shi Fa, didn't you say that you were resting at home today, what are you doing here?" Xiang Jun couldn't help but sigh when he saw this person.
"I've heard that the general has made peace with the steppe barbarians, but is there such a thing!" the man questioned.
"General, who is this?" Hong Lie, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said lightly.
"Master, this is my nephew, called Shi Fa, his mother is my sister-in-law, who died early, and this child has grown up with me since he was a child, and he has been spoiled by me. Xiang Jun explained with a smile.
"National affairs, what do you kid know? Yes, I did secretly negotiate peace with the Grassland Empire, but this is also for the continuation of my family. Xiang Jun said to Shi Fa again.
"Dashuai, you and I are both officials of the state, bathed in the grace of the country for generations. For hundreds of years, no matter how the imperial court has changed, it has never been disappointed in my Xiang family, but at this time, you have to sit on a big rebellion, how to face the ancestors of the Xiang family after you die in the future!" Shi Fa stood up directly and stared at Xiang Jun intently.
"Presumptuous, how dare you speak to me like that, don't forget. I'm your own uncle!" Xiang Jun blew his beard angrily and glared.
"Young Master Cousin, the handsome man is also a lot of hard work, after the eldest young master went to the imperial capital, he has always been alive and dead, and he must have been secretly killed by Emperor Chu Ba, Emperor Chu Ba's intention to attack my Xiang family is already obvious, do we want to let it be slaughtered?" A veteran of the Xiang family came up and persuaded.
"Joke, my cousin's whereabouts are unknown, the handsome can send someone to the imperial capital to ask, Wang Dao is frank. The royal road is mediocre. Before the marshal found out the truth, he relied on secret speculation to raise troops and rebel, which was not the work of the important ministers. It's not the work of a wise man!"
"Young Master. Don't be too presumptuous. The veteran sneered: "Let's not talk about official positions." Most of them here are your elders, and you speak like this, in an irreverent tone. Do you still know the ethics and morality of the Dao?"
Shi Fa's eyes flashed, glared at the veteran, and shouted: "I was about to say, you people, who have been favored by the country for generations, are the generals of the Xiang family, and now the head of the family has done this disloyal and unrighteous thing, and wants to drag the entire Xiang family into the abyss of no return, you old thieves, for the sake of your own glory and wealth, instead of persuading, but adding fuel to the fire, such shameless and disloyal people, and what ethics and morality do you have the face to talk to me!"
The veteran's face twitched a few times, his old face turned blue and purple, and his hands trembled with anger, if it weren't for the fact that he only had the primary strength of the hegemon, and the Shi Fa in front of him was already a peak master of the hegemon at a young age, he could hardly help but teach the other party a lesson.
"Shi Fa, bastard!" Xiang Jun stood up, walked in front of Shi Fa, and raised his hand to slap twice.
"Dashuai, it doesn't matter if you beat me, you just kill me, I also want to say that now the holy and foreign kings of the Chuba Empire are not a wise way to start an army. I am not a foolish and loyal person, if the emperor is in power, the country is declining, and the empire is exhausted, even if you don't say it, I will persuade you to raise troops to seize Sheji, but at this time, the Chuba Empire is thriving, the people are rich, the country is peaceful, but you must not commit treason!"
"Hmph, if I become the emperor, I may not be worse than the Emperor of Chuba, and it will not be peaceful in the four seas by then?"
"But the grassland barbarians, that is the wilderness, in their eyes, they only know the way of killing and destruction, if the grassland barbarians break through, the thousands of people in the empire will immediately fall into dire straits, even thousands of miles of scorched earth, handsome, you really want to let the thousands of people in the empire be buried by your ambition!"
"What is the point of dying a few untouchables if you do great things? Xiang Jun waved his hand in a deep voice: "Where is the blood wolf guard, send the young master back to rest, you take good care of him, without my order, he is not allowed to leave the mansion." ”
A team of guards wearing blood-red armor appeared from behind the tent, and surrounded Shi Fa expressionlessly, their cultivation realm was far inferior to Shi Fa, but everyone's body exuded a kind of blood that lasted for a long time, obviously a master of fighting in the sea of corpses and blood, this kind of person's combat power can no longer be simply measured by the realm, if several people join forces, they can completely kill the master who exceeds themselves under the surprise attack.
"Uncle, you really want to do this!" Shi Fa's eyes flickered, and his momentum suddenly exploded, forcing the guards to take a step back. And in his mouth, he no longer calls him handsome, but uncle.
"You kid ......" Hearing the word uncle in Shi Fa's mouth, Xiang Jun's heart also softened slightly for no reason, shook his head and sighed: "Your mother left early, I treat you and my son no differently, Xiang Cheng is afraid that he is really dead, if I can do great things and ascend the throne as emperor, in the future, after a hundred years, the position of the prince of this empire is yours, why should you?"
Shi Fa suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle, you treat me like a son, why don't I regard you as a father." Since you have decided today, I can't stop you, but I don't want to see you ruined with my own eyes, I just hope that my death will make you change your mind, at least be warned!"
Speaking of this, Shi Fa burst into a loud shout, made a thunderclap sound all over his body, raised his hand and slapped his chest, and suddenly his five organs and six lungs were sharply cracked, and he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"Shi Fa!" Xiang Jun wanted to stop, but he was already a step slower, seeing Shi Fa falling, he roared, his eyes were also slightly black, and he staggered back a few steps. (To be continued......)
