Chapter 161: Taking Control of Power

The Northern Xinjiang Army is the head of the Four Zombie Army, with nearly a million soldiers under its command, and there is also a special cultivation vanguard army, which is extremely strong, and it is a force that can affect the changes in the court situation.

Li Leng has always wanted to control this force, and from the point of view of his original push for Yan Song to be the general of Northern Xinjiang, he has already noticed the existence of the Northern Xinjiang army. It's a pity that at that time, he was not the opponent of Empress Shangguan and others, and finally lost control of the Northern Xinjiang army.

"Oh!?" Li Leng put down the teacup and looked at Gao Shui with deep meaning, with a shallow smile on his face, but his gaze was extremely sharp.

Gao Shui sat still, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, that kind of calmness and calmness made Li Lenggao look at him a little.

"What does Grandpa Gao mean, is it for me to accept this holy decree?" Li Leng was testing to see whose side this old fox was standing on.

"Divine Decree...... To connect, the key depends on how to connect. Gao Shui got up and saluted, lowered his voice and said, "At present, the situation is dangerous, whether the Yuanrong clan will attack Chang'an City, no one dares to guarantee, if it comes, what will happen to the face of the Tang Empire? In such a situation, His Majesty can only use His Royal Highness the King of the County. As long as His Highness has the means to solve the crisis of the Empire, I believe that His Highness will agree to any conditions. ”

Li Leng played with the tea lid and said, "In case Your Majesty settles accounts afterwards, what should I do?"

"His Royal Highness has already mastered the military power, the prime minister of the court and the Qin family all support His Highness, the power has grown, does Your Majesty still dare to settle accounts after the autumn?" Gao Shui smiled, there was a sentence he hadn't said yet, he rescued Shangguan Yun, then the Iron Armor Guard would also stand on Li Leng's side, there were Li Leng's people inside and outside, what else could Your Majesty do? But he wouldn't say this sentence, so he could only let Li Leng taste it.

"Okay, just ask Grandpa Gao to report the conditions I want to Your Majesty one by one!" Li Leng didn't say any conditions, if Gao Shui sincerely assisted him, then he should know what he wanted most next, but if Gao Shui didn't sincerely assist him, then he wouldn't make it clear to the Son of Heaven.

This is a temptation, and it is also a vote, it depends on what the choice of high water is.

"I have reported to Your Majesty, a total of three conditions, first, there is the right to cut first and then play, in extraordinary times, anyone in the Northern Xinjiang army must listen to His Royal Highness's orders, whoever dares to disobey the yang and the yin, there is no forgiveness for killing. Gao Shui bowed down and said the first condition.

Li Leng didn't move, still listening very quietly, playing with the tea lid in his hand, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Gao Shui continued: "The second condition is that there is independent power of appointment and dismissal. His Royal Highness's power to appoint and dismiss Northern Xinjiang does not need to be ordered by the Son of Heaven, as long as His Highness thinks that whoever is beneficial to the war situation can hold important positions in the Northern Xinjiang Army. Your Majesty must grant this. ”

"Well, very good conditions. Li Leng finally spoke and praised Gao Shui.

Gao Shui smiled and said: "There is a third condition, all the resources of the whole country will be given priority to the Northern Xinjiang army, if anyone refuses to withhold it, His Highness can exercise the power of cutting first and then playing." ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty...... Agreed?" asked Li with a sneer.

Gao Shui smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty agreed, he only has one sentence, Your Highness defeats the Yuanrong clan, and you must recover the lost city in Northern Xinjiang, otherwise, you will not be spared." ”

"It's a very reasonable deal!" Li Leng stood up, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said loudly, "Erchen took the order." ”

Gao Shui unfolded the holy decree and said what he had just said, as well as Li Leng's appointment and dismissal.

After Li Leng received the holy decree, he asked, "How many reinforcements has Your Majesty sent me, and who are the prison guards?"

Gao Shui said: "Your Majesty just gave His Highness the strength of the Divine Dragon Battalion, less than 10,000." The person who supervised the army was Li Muran, the second prince, a person with a lot of scheming and means. ”

"Interesting, does Your Majesty want me to save Northern Xinjiang, or does he want me to send him to death?" Li Leng shook his head, "What is the difference between sending 10,000 people to death and sending them to death?

Gao Shui smiled slightly: "When others go to Northern Xinjiang, they must be sent to death, but when His Highness goes to Northern Xinjiang, he is controlling military power." The second prince is very scheming, but he is not a perfect person. What's more, His Royal Highness also has the power of life and death, and the prison army is only a nominal overseer. ”

"Hopefully!" Li Leng didn't care so much, and asked, "When will I take office?"

Gao Shui smiled: "Today." ”

The Shenlong Camp is located on a hill outside Gyeonggi, this is a special military camp, and it is said to be special, because the people who enter this military camp are all monks who are either rich or noble.

The reason why they joined the army was that they could obtain rich cultivation resources, and secondly, they also had enough qualifications to have the opportunity to enter the DPRK and hold a certain official position in the DPRK and China if they had the opportunity to make a military merit casually.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Shenlong Battalion is very weak, and only a few children of the declining family will train here desperately and make military merits, hoping to get ahead.

The second prince, Li Muran, does not have a high sense of presence in the imperial family, but the strange thing is that there are not many people in the court who support him. After every minister contacted him, they all said that he had a gentlemanly demeanor, and the Tang Dynasty would definitely go to a more brilliant point in his hands.

Li Daoyuan, the Son of Heaven, was very taboo against Li Muran, and restricted Li Muran's power everywhere on many occasions. And this Li Muran actually has a state of mind that he is at peace when he comes, no matter how strong Li Daoyuan's suppression is, he will not move, and he will not take the initiative to fight for anything.

Li Leng entered the barracks, and there were already some generals greeting him, and even Li Muran personally came out to greet this strong rising imperial brother.

The formation seems a bit grand.

Li Muran is only twenty-five years old, he is a cultivator of the Yuan Infant Realm, and on him, he can't feel any compelling momentum, as if he is an amiable neighbor brother, only the essence that flashes without a trace makes him look a little different from others.

"Participate in the county king. All the generals knelt down and bowed to greet them, with a very humble attitude, which made Li Leng unexpected, this group of pampered noblemen, is it possible that their heads are open, and they know how to bow their heads and obey orders?

It's not that simple.

Li Muran took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Tenth brother, I have already asked people to pack up your barracks tent, please!"

"More Second Emperor Brothers. Li Leng nodded slightly, accepted Li Muran's arrangement, and walked quickly into his barracks tent.
