Xuantian Dragon Zun

Wow!

Above the grand palace of the Haotian Empire, all civil and military officials were in an uproar, some were in an uproar because of Fan's rebellion, and some were in an uproar because of Du Long's meritorious service in rescuing him, he was promoted to the third rank, and became a second-rank Xiaoqi general!

The most unbelievable thing for civil and military officials is that the old and new emperors actually handed him the Golden Dragon Order, which symbolizes the highest military order of the empire. You know, this is a child who is only nineteen years old!

All of a sudden, in the court hall, all the officials were discussing, and they all became a mess!

No matter how chaotic they are, no one dares to come forward to express criticism at this time. In the past, the left minister Fan De took the lead, and those officials with ulterior motives dared to follow suit. I was scared to pee, so how dare I talk 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, and a needle could be heard. The corners of Emperor Qin Ying's mouth turned up slightly. He finally felt the long-lost authority of the emperor. As in the past, following Zuo Xiang's everything is against him.

"In view of the Fan family's treason! The list of all officials who have affairs with the Fan family is hereby announced. All the generals and officers on this list will all stand up for me. I will honestly go to Dali Temple to confess my crimes. Those who confess their crimes are sincere. , Sentenced lightly! Those who report meritorious service to others will be punished lightly, and those who report the content is of great significance to the empire will not only be exonerated, but may continue to serve as officials in the empire!"

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

The trusted eunuch on the side respectfully held a roster, came to the dragon seat, and began to announce the names of the officials who committed the crime in public, and many generals who were named were paralyzed to the ground on the spot!

There were also some ulterior motives who passed out before they were called. The officials who were very unhappy with these officials who had been with the Fan family in the past were secretly laughing.

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

"It seems! Some people with ghosts in their hearts dare not even come to such an urgent court meeting. According to my order, those generals on the list who are not in court today will all ransack their homes and exterminate their families! If anyone escapes , Exterminate the Nine Clans!" The emperor began to issue a heavy code with a gloomy face!

In this chaotic world, if there is no need to repeat the classics, how can those latecomers be scared? !

Under the main hall, all the civil and military officials were silent, how could anyone dare to talk nonsense at this time, once the emperor was angered, they might lose their lives!

"Also! The Dunwu Legion, the Zhenwei Legion... and other legions have all confirmed that they are in collusion with the Fan family. Anyone who has any involvement with the generals of these legions can admit their mistakes to Dali Temple, as long as the problem is not serious. , I will give you a lighter sentence! But if your problem is not only serious, but if you dare to hide it and refuse to report it, once you are reported, if the situation is true, you will be punished severely!" The new emperor added.

Several officials who were not on the list of generals collapsed to the ground on the spot. These people were secretly relieved at first, but in the end, they still failed to 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 guards strode into the hall on the spot, and directly set up these guys. Individuals will go!

"Because the situation is too serious this time, the number of officials implicated is very large. After the imperial court is over, no one is allowed to go home to rest. Everyone belongs to everyone. Let me study the operation of each department carefully, and which positions cannot be short of manpower. Allotment should be made, 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 undergoing a large-scale cleansing and efficient power reorganization at the same time. A group of people fell, and a group was lifted from the bottom. The daily tasks of the empire were not greatly affected. Influence.

In the imperial headquarters, the old emperor personally sat in the town, and the general Wei Bolin assisted him, but Du Long was nowhere to be seen. After he had explained several important strategic goals, he and his grandfather Du Fengzhong didn't even have time to return to the Du mansion. , and left the capital!

In order to protect the heart of Du's mother Zhou Ruoxue, Du Long specially asked Princess Huofeng to arrange people to go back to the house to report safety, and then took the second daughter with him to the south of Chilong Gorge with his grandfather!

According to the vision of the ring spirit beauty, the center of gravity of the war between the Haotian Empire and the Blue Moon Empire will be in the direction of Chilong Gorge, while Yulin Pass still focuses on defense, and the general order issued to Wei Xuan is also arranged in this way.

. . . . . .

Chilong Gorge!

There are continuous mountains in the east, west and south, one side is the famous monster forest in the mainland, and the other side is the dividing line between the two empires of Haotian and Lanyue, which are separated by the continuous mountains!

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

This tens of miles long canyon was originally an unowned land, but it finally became the territory of the Haotian Empire during the sensational battle of the Star Continent decades ago, and it also made Du Fengzhong's reputation as an old general!

In Chilong Gorge, there are 200,000 elite divisions of the Zhongwu Army stationed all year round. Since the army of the Blue Moon Empire crushed Chiyue Pass, the Zhongwu Army stationed in Chilongxia has also received a second-level combat readiness order. It's been a year since I returned to run affairs within the Legion!

Seeing that it has entered December of the new year, and the Zhongwu Army garrison is preparing to purchase new year's goods for the New Year, it receives the news that the army of the Blue Moon Empire at Chiyue Pass has suddenly invaded!

As a result, the entire army garrison was immediately startled by bursts of whining horns!

Everyone can hear that this is a quasi-war mobilization signal for the first-level combat readiness. The elite division of the Zhongwu Army began to gather quickly and efficiently according to military regulations.

In the commander's tent of the Zhongwu Army, the chief 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 Zhongwu Army standing underneath, all waiting for the highly respected General Du to give orders.

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

"Pass me the general order!" Immediately, Du Zhentian's eyes exploded, he stood up abruptly and roared angrily.

"The first to the 100,000-thousand divisions are all fully equipped to attack and take over the first three checkpoints of Chilong Gorge! Be sure to hold back the enemy for three days! Within three days, there will be no personnel and supplies! You can complete the A mission?!" Du Zhentian suddenly issued a strange order.

"The final general promises to complete the task!" Ten thousand generals of the division of ten thousand people bowed to take orders on the spot.

"Very good! Take your soldiers first, and go to the first three lines of defense immediately!" Du Zhentian waved his hand to indicate that they could leave, and the ten generals of the division immediately saluted respectfully and left. Handsome account!

After the ten people left, Du Zhentian's complexion became extremely solemn, and he looked at his extremely loyal subordinates quietly and said, "Everyone here is a veteran of my Loyal Military Legion! 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 troops to guard the Chilong Gorge where 200,000 troops were originally not enough!"

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

Wow. . .

No matter how strict the military discipline is, the generals of the army will be shocked after hearing such unimaginable news. The generals of all divisions asked various questions one after another.

"General! Isn't the Zhenwei Legion controlled by our Du family? How could it become a member of the Blue Moon Empire?!"

"General! Are you kidding us?! With our 200,000 troops, we still want to resist the nearly one million troops of the Blue Moon Empire, and the 200,000 Zhenwei Army in the rear?!"

"General..."

Facing the successive questions from many generals, Du Zhentian waited for a long time before stretching out his hands, and made a gesture of pressing downwards. The noise in the entire commander's tent stopped immediately, and all the generals were waiting for his answer.

"Actually! According to the information we have obtained, Du Zhennan, the leader of the Zhenwei Legion, is not the blood of my Du clan, but decades ago, the Blue Moon Empire colluded with the left minister Fan De, and let Du Zhennan use the blood of my uncle's illegitimate son. I came to the Du Mansion under the name of Du Zhennan, my uncle didn't notice it for a while, and he was deceived..." Du Zhentian began to briefly describe Du Zhennan's situation.

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

"General! Since we know that Du Zhennan and the Fan clan are rebels colluding with the Blue Moon Empire, why not take them down, but let them continue to serve in the court and bring us such huge troubles?!"

"..."

Du Zhentian just explained it, and immediately attracted many generals to ask questions one after another. The matter is very important, so I can't help but ask people to understand clearly, otherwise, how can I give my life to you without reservation? !

After gesturing for everyone to be quiet again, Du Zhentian then opened his mouth to explain: "Everyone asked a very good question! The old and new emperors knew about this matter a year or two ago, and they were all fully prepared for it. So we didn't take down the traitor, it was because we didn't want to scare the snake, we have to use our strategy, not only to take down the traitor this time, but also to launch a devastating blow to the invading army of the Blue Moon Empire!"

The eyes of the generals who were originally surrounded by ugly faces all lit up. They were obviously moved by Du Zhentian's statement. Since they knew that there were treacherous ministers and thieves inside, it was obviously unreasonable for them not to take them down. It makes sense to say that it is a plan!

Therefore, these generals who trusted Du Zhentian in the first place also believed in his words. They also believed that the empire had already made proper preparations, and the originally wavering military spirit immediately stabilized!

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