Chapter 224: The Choice (Thank you LMXY for the big monthly pass!)
Obviously, Zhang Bai's proposal pierced Zhang Rang's heart, and he was deciding whether Liu Fan was more important or asked them to help. Zhang Rang's face finally softened, Zhang Rang nodded and said, "Bai'er, do it if you want, I just want to remind you of one thing, that is, you must control the whole thing under your own control." ”
Zhang Bai nodded, and the resolute expression on his face told Zhang Rang that all this was under his control. Zhang Bai looked at Zhang Rang and said softly: "Uncle, please relax, even if you can't kill Liu Fan, we won't let him develop like this, our first thing at present is to completely control the twelve Praetorian Guard Legions of the empire." ”
Zhang Rang nodded, these Praetorian Guards are Zhang Rang's reliance, and Zhang Rang's only reliance, half a year's reorganization Zhang Rang raised the butcher's knife in his hand, and killed all those in the Praetorian Guard system who disobeyed Zhang Rangyang, and even those who had been unfirm and a little wavering were killed by Zhang Rang. With his iron-blooded methods, Zhang Rang quickly mastered ten of the twelve legions, except for the first and eleventh legions.
These two Praetorian Guards are involved with the Liu family to a certain extent, and these two legions have also undergone a major blood change, and all the officers are Zhang Rang's henchmen from top to bottom, but what makes Zhang Rang very troublesome is that although the officers are all Zhang Rang's people, these officers have very weak control over the group of soldiers under their command. Even among these two legions, there were soldiers who killed the officers sent by Zhang Rang, but Zhang Rang had a feeling of powerlessness about all this, unless he killed the two legions from top to bottom, it was impossible for him to control these two legions without a year or two, because they had been deeply imprinted with the He brand.
Ten Praetorian Guard legions were stationed in the Imperial Capital, and all the legions were transferred to the Imperial Capital, except for the Third and Fifth Legions, which guarded the Tiger Prison Pass and Tongguan Pass respectively. Near the garrisons of the First Army and the Eleventh Army, the regiments were all Zhang Rang's henchmen, and the First Army and the Eleventh Army were surrounded by regiments in order to prevent the two armies from rampage.
The Eleventh Legion, the Ichthyosaur Praetorian Guard Legion, but after being reorganized by Zhang Rang. The black battle flag disappeared from the camp and was replaced by the banner of the Eleventh Legion. It was not yet time for the next exercise, but the soldiers were sitting lazily in the big camp, listening to the shouts and killing sounds coming from the surrounding big camp, and yawning from time to time. The situation of the 1st Army next door was similar to that of the 11th Army. The combat effectiveness of these two divisions is very strong. Among the twelve divisions, it can be regarded as the top five corps, so Zhang Rang is reluctant to make up his mind to cut these two corps, and can only hope for slow transformation.
In a large dilapidated tent, dozens of soldiers gathered together. They were shouting desperately, and if it weren't for the armor on these people and the weapons neatly placed in the tents, the noisy environment here would even make people feel like they were walking into a casino. In the center of dozens of soldiers, two soldiers are fighting. Everyone's face was flushed, but no one gave up, Shuangang was in a state of parity, and the soldiers around him were also shouting loudly.
If Liu Fan was here, he would definitely be surprised to find that the scar-faced man in front of him who was competing would be Wu Yan, whom Liu Fan already thought had been sacrificed. Wu Yan, who followed Liu Fan from Qingzhou to the imperial capital, Liu Fan's shili was purged, Wu Yan didn't know how to survive in the Praetorian Guard, and now he is also a commander in the Eleventh Praetorian Guard Legion.
"Hey!" Wu Yan yelled. With a single force of both hands, the opponent's arm was pressed down, and the soldiers around him immediately cheered. Wu Yan stood up excitedly, patted his opponent's shoulder and smiled with satisfaction, a soldier walked into the camp tent and glanced at Wu Yan, Wu Yan nodded and walked out.
Wu Yan avoided the soldiers around him. Soon came to a relatively distant camp tent, Wu Yan opened the camp tent and walked in, the people inside all glanced at Wu Yan and sat in their positions without moving. Wu Yan walked up. Sitting at the top, a guard behind him took out a copy in his hand and handed it to Wu Yan.
Wu Yan looked cold and read the letter in his hand. With a cold snort in his heart, he crumpled the letter in his hand and threw it into the brazier next to him. Wu Yan walked to the map and glanced at it, and all the defense maps of the imperial capital were marked in detail on the paper. Wu Yan's identity is a legion sent by Zhang Rang to the Eleventh Legion, which is also Zhang Rang's negligence of this officer, I don't know if Zhang Rang's intentional forgetfulness, or if he doesn't remember that this Wu Yan in front of him is the little soldier who once led the horse for Liu Fan.
"Dutong, what should we do next?"
Wu Yan shook his head, said a word to everyone, and let everyone go down. After everyone left, Wu Yan's brows tightened again, the situation was very complicated, although Wu Yan had gained Zhang Rang's trust, but it was not enough to support Wu Yan to win over a group of his subordinates. It can be said that Wu Yan is the most Haode officer sent by Zhang Rang to the Eleventh Army, and there is no one, but Wu Yan did all this not for Zhang Rang.
In the mutiny that day, Wu Yan was not in the army, and by the time Wu Yan arrived in the army, the entire military camp was already in chaos. Wu Yan rushed to the Pingxi Mansion again, but the palace was already empty. Wu Yan, who couldn't find Liu Fan for a while, could only take off his military uniform and try to get out of the imperial capital and return to his hometown.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yan actually followed the crowd to the palace of King He Ling, and Wu Yan, who originally wanted to leave with He Ying, fell into a melee with the crowd. But Wu Yan, who did not hit by mistake, made a contribution because of this, and simply self-destructed himself and took refuge in Zhang Rang, did a lot of things for Zhang Rang, and also accumulated military merits and was promoted to the position of the commander. Wu Yan, who came to the army, actually had only one purpose, and that was to avenge Liu Fan, but he didn't expect that he would get the news that Liu Fan had raised troops in Yangzhou, and he wanted to immediately defect to Wu Yan, but after thinking about the current situation, he still endured it, and felt at ease to develop in the eleventh legion.
Wu Yan is bold, and he doesn't have any fights, so he quickly got into a fight with his own soldiers in the army, although he didn't dare to say that he couldn't completely control them, at least Wu Yan could guarantee that this group of soldiers would not go against him. Wu Yan picked up the pen on the table, quickly wrote a letter and handed it to the cronies beside him, and then walked out of the big tent again.
Under the fluctuating water surface of this bay in the imperial capital, there are countless undercurrents hidden, Wu Yan is just one of them, which is a relatively insignificant one, not all the people in the imperial capital have succumbed to Zhang Rang, at least the remaining two kings of the four kings of the same qi have dragged Zhang Rang back from time to time, which makes Zhang Rang very annoyed.
In the Daming Palace, Ximen Ye, who was still a minor, sat in the Renshou Palace of the Empress Dowager He and missed his mother. Ximen Ye looked at the black sky outside the window, and thought of the words left by his father, the only one who could keep him was the Liu family, so what happened to the Liu family now? What about their situation? Ximen Ye was very disappointed, because he was a puppet now, not even a puppet, at least Zhang Rang didn't want to see him at all now.
