"Brother Shimei, what happened!" Zhu Shihong was very puzzled when he saw Zhang Shimei's expression changed from a little confused just now to a smile like a flower. How can normal people have such great emotional fluctuations?

!

Zhang Shimei laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Hiccup! Hahaha! Hiccup..."

Because she was so excited from laughing, Zhang Shimei started to hiccup!

"..." Zhu Shihong didn't know what to say when he saw this. After all, you are also a general and the commander of an army. Why are you so unstable?!

Then Zhu Shihong took the information from the capital of God from Zhang Shimei's trembling hands.

After a few breaths, even more frightening, barbell-like laughter erupted from King Zhao's army's commander's tent.

"Hahaha! Hiccup! Hahaha! Hiccup..."

The soldiers outside the tent thought Zhu Shihong and Zhang Shimei were stupid, why were one laughing louder than the other?!

"Hahaha, Brother Shimei, I can understand you! Hiccup!...Hahaha!"

Zhu Shihong also laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.

Originally, both of them had the impression of Emperor Linde that he was weak but not stupid, kind and virtuous but not decisive.

Such a person may be a good person and be a good prince, but he definitely cannot be a good emperor.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Linde had such decisiveness and dared to seize military power under such circumstances.

That's right, the intelligence agency of Prince Zhao's Palace analyzed Emperor Linde's behavior as a power grab.

From ancient times to the present, there have been few emperors who have given up their hands. Once they sit in this position, they instinctively want to obtain the supreme power.

Are there people who don’t have much interest in this majestic imperial power?! Yes, very few!

For example, the Empress of Ji Han, the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty... and Song Huizong, the great calligrapher on Blue Star and the founder of Thin Gold Style.

These people really have no interest in authority.

The remaining 98% of emperors are pathological in their thirst for power and control.

Emperor Linde was originally just the thirteenth son of Emperor Taizong. He was neither heir nor eldest son. He only ascended to the throne with the support of Yang Qingyuan. He had no foundation or team in the court.

This directly led to the fact that although Emperor Linde was in the supreme position, he seemed to have no real power in his hands.

After Yang Qingyuan retired, Emperor Linde seemed to have become more of a decoration.

Now that the situation between the DPRK and China has changed, Emperor Linde naturally wants to take back his own power.

It's all logical!

"Hey, Lao Zhang, I remember that the relationship between Cao Xueyang and Yang Qingyuan seems to be..." Zhu Shihong made a gesture that most people understand, "After all, Cao Xueyang can be regarded as a direct descendant of Emperor Linde! Why would he force Cao Xueyang?

Going to fight?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shimei showed a proud look on his face, "Old Zhu, you only know one but not the other! Emperor Linde is not targeting Cao Xueyang, but the Sixth Army Governor's Mansion!"

The military power of the Zhou Dynasty was actually not so independent during the Taizong era.

Taizong used his direct lineage and the Ministry of War to completely disintegrate the arrogant generals left behind by Emperor Gaozu, and reorganized them from the Emperor's Twelve Guards into the Emperor's Sixth Army, eliminating a large number of unstable factors in the army.

In this process, the Ministry of War, which belongs to the civilian government group, also participated in military power and could check and balance military power.

Taizong was able to completely control the civil service group, which was equivalent to indirectly strengthening Emperor Taizong Wen's control over military power.

But Emperor Linde was different.

When he first ascended the throne, it was a compromise between the military, civil servants, royal family and other forces.

One of the important requirements of the military is that military power should be completely vested in the Sixth Army Governor's Office, and the hands of the civilian clique should be completely cut off from the military.

Zhang Shimei explained a lot to Zhu Shihong, "I guess the little emperor is cooperating with the civil service group and wants to use their power to further control the military power. After all, Yang Qingyuan's gang members are the foundation of the little emperor."

…

I can only say that Zhang Shimei’s analysis seems to make sense, but it is completely wrong!

Although Emperor Linde seems to be indifferent, his control over the military is not weak at all. The three main forces, Tiance, Yulin, and Longwu, are all direct descendants of Emperor Linde.

The Youzhou Guard Frontier Army was Wu Keming's old unit and was also under the control of Emperor Linde. On the contrary, politically, Thirteen had always been in a low-key state, which made people feel that he was being ignored.

However, this is not important. What is important is what Prince Zhao's Mansion and Zhang Shimei think.

Zhang Shimei now believed that Emperor Linde's edict was logical.

"Now that Qingqi has entered the city, do you think Cao Xueyang will go to battle?!"

Zhu Shihong felt that Cao Xueyang was not a fool, how could he accept such a random fate?!

Zhang Shimei smiled and said, "Regardless of whether Cao Xueyang followed the order or not, she lost! If she acted according to the little emperor's order, it goes without saying that the Longwu Army was originally a group of new recruits, and now its morale is low. It will definitely not be ours."

But if she resists and disobeys the decree, there is no need for us to deal with her, and the little Emperor Linde will not be able to spare her."

At the moment, Cao Xueyang is facing a dead situation!

…

Inside Jinyang City.

"Captain Cao! This is the intelligence that our spies in King Zhao's rebel army sent out two hours ago while on patrol!"

Cao Xueyang received this information from Jinyang Jinyi Guard Qianhu.

After Zhang Shimei met a guest coming from the direction of Shendu, he and Zhu Shihong laughed wildly during the battle, and at the same time ordered the entire army to prepare for war.

Seeing this, Cao Xueyang knew that half of her plan had been accomplished.

It's just that the commander of the Guards Battalion, Cao Ying, is still unclear.

"Grand Governor, although we successfully lured Zhang Shimei into a decisive battle, how should we fight?!"

Even Cao Ying, who is the commander of Cao Xueyang's Guards, doesn't know how to win the current situation?

This question is not just Cao Ying's question. In fact, Emperor Linde and Wu Keming also had this question.

Just because the situation was urgent, they did not investigate in depth.

And Cao Xueyang also issued a military order in front of the emperor. If Jinyang fails, the people and the city will perish.

Cao Ying knew the determination of her Commander-in-Chief, but one could not rely solely on determination to fight a war. If determination was effective, the war would not be so complicated and complicated.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have confidence in myself, and even more confidence in the brothers of Longwu Army!!"

This Longwu Army was built up bit by bit by Cao Xueyang. At first, the Longwu Army only had a skeleton. It was her, bit by bit, expansion and training that led to today's 200,000 elite Longwu Army soldiers.

Yang Qingyuan also participated in this.

The two of them regard the Longwu Army as the new army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Whether it is equipment or tactics, it is different from the previous armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The soldiers and horses that have been poured into their hard work are definitely not made of paper and clay. They train every day, even the Tiance Army does not have such intensity of training.

The only thing the current Longwu Army lacks is a hearty battle.

After the experience of fire and blood, this will surely become a powerful army in the world.

"But what about morale?! The morale of the army is still very low!"

Cao Xueyang smiled sweetly, "I have my own way! All you need is this..."

Siming Port.

"Who are you?!" A Japanese pirate pointed at Mo Guanlan and Li Taibai with a Japanese sword and said eloquently.

This Mandarin is better spoken than most people along the coast of Yuezhou!

But before he could continue his next sentence, the sword flashed, a unique sword cry sounded, and the arm that had just been pointing the sword fell to the ground.

The speed of the sword even exceeded the speed of the body's ability to transmit pain. After a moment, the Japanese pirate seemed to realize that his arm had been severed. He hugged his arm and howled loudly like a wild boar.

"I really hate it when people point knives at me... No, you Japanese slaves are still debating whether they count or not!" Li Taibai held a cup of Mo Ding, his face was as smooth as a lake, and he repeated that the people he killed before were not human beings at all.

, in green clothes and sleeves, the figure is like an immortal!

This could have been said to be a scene of banishing an immortal to the mortal world, but it was ruined by the old Motou on the side!

"I said, Lao Li, do your family members know that you are such a coquettish person?!" Mo Guanlan teased while playing with a long sword in his hand that had a sword like frost.

Behind the two people, four people, all wrapped up with only their eyes exposed, sneaked towards the two people, and their movements could be said to be silent.

These are the four chunin of Japan's Iga sect. They are best at assassination.

Just as the four of them were approaching Li and Mo two feet away, suddenly the four of them felt their eyes light up, a sword light flashed across them, and their eyes were already dripping with blood.

"Is this Japanese ninjutsu?! It's really just a sneaky trick!" Mo Guanlan flicked the sword in his hand.

This sword is called Ningguang, which is an ancient sword from the pre-Tang Dynasty. Wherever the sword passes, the sunlight condenses, so it is called Ningguang!

It is one of Mo Guanlan's favorite collections, and it is also on the famous sword manual of Tianji Tower.

"Your Excellency, you have such a strong tone!"

A mist suddenly floated in front of the two of them, and a figure suddenly appeared from the mist.
