Wow!

Above the palace hall of the Haotian Empire, all the civil and military officials were in an uproar, some were in an uproar because of the Fan family's rebellion, and some were in an uproar because Du Long was promoted to the third rank in a row and became a second-rank cavalry general!

What made the civil and military officials unbelievable the most was that the new and old emperors actually handed over the Golden Dragon Order, which symbolized the highest military order of the empire, to him, you know, this is a child who is only nineteen years old!

For a while, above the court, hundreds of officials were discussing, and they were all in chaos!

No matter how messy they are, no one dares to come up at this time to express their criticism, there was Zuo Prime Minister Fan De taking the lead before, and those officials with ulterior motives still dare to follow suit, and now the group of dragons has no leader, these officials who used to always follow Zuo Xiang, are almost not scared to pee at the moment, how dare they have the slightest nonsense!

"Uh-huh!"

On the dragon throne, the emperor let out a cold snort with a cold face, the originally noisy hall was instantly silent, the needle drop could be heard, the corners of the emperor's mouth were slightly upturned, he finally felt the long-lost imperial authority, no one dared to follow Zuo Xiang to contradict himself like before.

"In view of the rebellion of the Fan clan! The list of all officials who have had an affair with the Fan clan is hereby announced, and all the generals on this list are all given to me to stand up, and they honestly go to Dali Temple to admit their crimes, and those who admit their guilt and sincerity will be punished lightly! Those who report others for meritorious service will be punished lightly, and those who report the content of the report are of great significance to the empire, not only can they be exonerated from their crimes, but they may also continue to stay in the empire as officials!"

On the dragon throne, the new emperor announced his decision with a cold face, and then slowly picked up the teacup in front of him and began to taste the fragrant tea!

The cronies and eunuchs on the side respectfully held a roster, came to the dragon seat, and began to announce the names of the criminal officials in public, and many named generals were frightened and collapsed to the ground on the spot!

There are also some guys who have ghosts in their hearts, and they fainted directly before they were named, and they saw that those officials who were very unhappy with these officials in the past who had been with the Fan family in the past secretly laughed there.

Soon, a long list was read out, a full fifty or so, among which there seemed to be a few key figures who did not appear in the main hall, apparently feeling bad early in the morning and running away.

"It seems that some guys who have ghosts in their hearts don't even dare to come to such an urgent court meeting, and pass on my will, those generals on the list, who are not in the court today, will all raid their homes and exterminate their clans! If there are escapees, destroy the nine clans!" The emperor had a gloomy face and began to issue a heavy ceremony!

In this troubled era, if you don't need to repeat the canon, how can you make those latecomers frightened?!

Under the palace, all the civil and military officials are silent, how can anyone dare to have half a sentence of nonsense at this time, once the emperor is angered, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed!

"Also, the Dunwu Legion, the Zhenwei Legion...... When several legions have confirmed their collusion with the Fan clan, anyone who has any involvement with these legion leaders will admit their mistakes to Dali Temple, as long as the problem is not serious, I will be punished lightly!

On the spot, a few more officials who were not on the list of generals collapsed to the ground, and these people were secretly relieved, but in the end, they still couldn't escape!

"Take these guys to Dali Temple to explain the problem! Don't put them here as an eyesore!" The emperor ordered in disgust, and several heavily armed Praetorian Guards strode into the hall on the spot, and directly set up these people and left!

"Due to the seriousness of this situation, the number of officials implicated is very huge, after the dispersal of the dynasty, no one is allowed to go home to rest, everyone is to everyone, all of them are for me to study the operation of each department, which positions cannot be short of manpower, and those who should be allocated will be allocated, in short, no department is allowed to be lazy for me at this moment when the survival of the empire is at stake!" the emperor continued to add there.

The entire Haotian Empire, under the auspices of the old and new emperors, was carrying out a great purge at the same time, and at the same time, it was also carrying out an efficient reorganization of power, and a group of people were brought down from the bottom, and the daily affairs of the empire were not greatly affected.

In the imperial military headquarters, the old emperor personally sat in the town, and the general Wei Bolin assisted, but Du Long was not seen, he had already explained several important strategic goals, and his grandfather Du Fengzhong didn't even have time to return to the Du Mansion, so he left the capital!

For the sake of Andu's mother Zhou Ruoxue's heart, Du Long deliberately asked Princess Huofeng to arrange for people to return to the house to report safety, and then took the second daughter and followed her grandfather south to Chilong Gorge!

According to the concept of the Ring Spirit Beauty, the focus of the war between the Haotian Empire and the Blue Moon Empire will be biased in the direction of Chilong Gorge, and Yulin Pass is still focused on defense, and the general orders issued to Wei Xuan are also arranged in this way......

Red Dragon Gorge!

The east and west are surrounded by mountains, on one side is the famous Demon Beast Forest on the mainland, and on the other side is the dividing line between the two empires of Haotian and Blue Moon, which are separated by continuous mountains!

Therefore, it can also be said that the Red Dragon Gorge is a dividing line of the Demon Beast Forest, its south is connected to the Qingyun Grassland of the Blue Moon Empire, and the north is intersected with the Haotian Empire!

This canyon dozens of miles long was originally a borderless land, but in the battle that shook the Star Continent decades ago, it finally became the territory of the Haotian Empire, and also achieved the prestige of Du Fengzhong's old general!

In Chilong Gorge, there are 200,000 elite divisions of the Loyal Martial Legion stationed all year round, since the Blue Moon Empire army pressed on the Red Moon Pass, the Loyal Legion stationed in the Red Dragon Gorge has also received a second-level combat readiness order, and the main general Du Zhentian has returned to the Legion to preside over affairs for a year!

Seeing that it had entered the twelfth month of the New Year, and the Loyal Legion was preparing to purchase New Year's goods for the New Year, he received the news that the Blue Moon Empire's army in the Red Moon Pass had suddenly attacked in a big way!

As a result, the entire legion garrison was immediately alarmed by the sound of whining horns!

Everyone heard that this was a quasi-war mobilization signal for first-level combat readiness, and the elite division of the Loyal Legion quickly and efficiently began to assemble according to military regulations, and everyone was in place, with bright armor and full armor and ready to go!

In the tent of the commander of the Loyal Martial Legion, the main general Du Zhentian looked at the battle report in his hand with a solemn face, and there were more than 20 major generals of the Loyal Martial Legion standing below, all waiting for the highly respected General Du to give orders.

"It's time to come, it's still here after all!These damn Blue Moon Empire people actually started a war at the end of the year, aren't they afraid of being punished by heaven?!" Du Zhentian stared at the battle report and muttered in his mouth.

"Pass my order!" Immediately, Du Zhentian's eyes exploded, and he suddenly stood up and roared.

"All the 1st to 100,000 divisions are fully equipped to take over the first three checkpoints of Chilong Gorge! It is necessary to hold off the enemy for three days! Within three days, there will be no personnel and material supplies! Will you be able to complete the task?" Du Zhentian suddenly gave a strange order.

"The last general will guarantee the completion of the task!" said the 100,000-strong division commander on the spot.

"Very good! You should first bring your own soldiers and immediately rush to the first three lines of defense to set up defenses!" Du Zhentian waved his hand to signal that they could leave, and the ten-member division commander immediately saluted respectfully and left the tent!

After these ten people left, Du Zhentian's face became extremely solemn, and he looked at his incomparably loyal subordinates with gloomy eyes and said: "All of you here are veterans of my loyal military army! Here, I don't want to hide it from everyone! The reason why I issued this strange general order is that I only sent 100,000 horses to garrison the Chilong Gorge, which was originally not enough for 200,000 horses!"

"Actually, according to reliable information, the Zhenwei Legion behind us is actually already a member of the Blue Moon Empire!"

Wow......

Even the generals of the army, who are strictly disciplined, will be shocked after hearing such unbelievable news, and all the division and regimental generals have opened their mouths to ask all kinds of questions.

"General, isn't that the Zhenwei Legion controlled by our Du family, and how could it become a member of the Blue Moon Empire?!"

"General, you're not joking with us, are you?! With our 200,000 horses, we still want to resist the nearly one million army of the Blue Moon Empire, and the rear also have to resist the army of 200,000 Zhenwei Legion?!"

"General......

Faced with the successive questions of many generals, Du Zhentian waited for a long time before stretching out his hands and making a downward motion, the noise in the entire handsome tent immediately stopped, and all the generals were waiting for his answer.

"Actually, according to the information we have obtained, Du Zhennan, the commander of the Zhenwei Legion, is not the bloodline of my Du clan, but decades ago, the Blue Moon Empire colluded with Zuo Xiang Fan De to let Du Zhennan come to the Du Mansion in the name of my uncle's illegitimate son, and my uncle didn't notice it for a while, and as a result, he was deceived...... Du Zhentian began to roughly explain Du Zhennan's situation.

"Dare to ask the general, when did you receive this information?!Does His Majesty the Emperor know about this matter?!"

"General, since you know that Du Zhennan and the Fan clan are traitors who collude with the Blue Moon Empire, why don't you take them down, but let them continue to serve in the court, bringing us such a huge trouble?!"

“......”

Du Zhentian just explained, and immediately attracted a succession of inquiries from many generals, the stakes are very high, and no one can ask them to understand clearly, otherwise, how can they hand over their lives to you without reservation? !

After signaling everyone to be quiet again, Du Zhentian opened his mouth to explain: "Everyone asked a good question! The two emperors, the old and the new, knew about this matter a year or two ago, and they were all prepared for it, the reason why they didn't take down the traitor was to not startle the snake, we have to plan it, this time we will not only take down the traitor, but also launch a devastating blow to the invading army of the Blue Moon Empire!"

Originally, the generals and officials who were ugly because they were surrounded before and after their eyes lit up, obviously moved by Du Zhentian's statement, since they knew that there were rebels and thieves in the party and did not take it, this is obviously unreasonable, if it is said that it will be calculated, it can be explained!

Therefore, these generals, who already had great trust in Du Zhentian, also believed in his words, and also believed that the empire had already made proper preparations, and the originally somewhat wavering military spirit immediately stabilized!

"Pass my general's order!" Seeing that he had successfully persuaded this group of generals, Du Zhentian immediately seized the opportunity and began to issue the latest general orders loudly, and with a bang, all the generals present stood up straight with high morale!
