"I am a woman and do not understand military and political matters, but I also know that Taizu is not a person who has left the people behind and fled alone. According to the decree of this palace, I added the scholar Wuyingdian of the Ministry of War to Yanyi, the rank of general, and the prime minister.
Qing, You, Bing, Hebei, Qi, Henan, and the military affairs of the capital, supervising the seven states! The great scholar is fully responsible for the war of establishing slaves!"
At this moment, Yu Yanyi's power had reached a level rarely seen throughout history.
Originally, Yanyi had some military power in the capital and had the power to mobilize the troops and horses of the world, but he was not the one who commanded the troops after all.
Except for the commander-in-chief of the Changlin Army, the remaining five governors of the Sixth Army of the Emperor all had official titles of third rank upwards and were not subject to Yanyi's control at all.
The five military governors of Tiance, Shence, Longwu, Shenwu, and Yulin, and the combined governor's office of the five armies was the highest military institution of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It's just that except for the Chief Governor of the Royal Forest Army who is guarding the sacred capital in Gyeonggi Province, the remaining four people are stationed on the border of Dazhou, so they can't gather enough people all year round.
Therefore, the responsibilities of the former Fifth Army Governor's Office were attributed to the Ministry of War. Originally, it was the responsibility of the Fifth Army Governor's Office to manage farmland, control military status, select generals, appoint, remove, and promote.
However, because four of the five governors were away from home all year round, they could not effectively exercise their powers, so these affairs were handled by the Ministry of War and Wuying Palace.
In addition to the above-mentioned items, the power in Yu Yanyi's hands also includes military attache assessment, military establishment, military training, military recruitment, border control, and weapons and equipment.
It can be said that except for Yu Yanyi, the Minister of War, who does not have the power to command troops, there is nothing else that he cannot control that has anything to do with military affairs.
And now, the queen personally handed over the power of commanding the troops into his hands.
In other words, within the seven prefectures of Yanyi, Qing, You, Bing, Ji, Qi, Yu, and Gyeonggi, there is nothing that he cannot handle that involves military affairs.
Yu Yanyi bowed deeply to the queen and said, "I will live up to your Majesty's trust! Protect my great Zhou Lishu and the country!"
After receiving the authorization, Yu Yanyi took away 50,000 defeated soldiers from Beijing and 50,000 newly arrived elite soldiers of the Shenwu Army, and rushed directly to Jinyang, where he wanted to fight Jiannu to the death!
On the day Yanyi left the capital, the order to mobilize troops was issued at the same time, ordering Jingzhou to prepare troops, Chuzhou to prepare barbarian troops, and marching north to King Qin. All soldiers and horses would transport grain and grass by themselves when passing by Ruifengcang.
The original crisis of insufficient food and grass in Jinyang City was solved by Yu Yanyi's order!
Storms are rising in the north, and success or failure depends only on this battle.
--------------------------
Shanyin Mansion, Yuezhou Bank.
The killer of the Blue Dragon Society lay on the ground.
The killers who came here tonight were basically die-hards of the Qinglong Society, and only 30% were beggars. Later I learned that these 30% were people from the Money Gang.
If the dead Shangguan Jinhong, the leader of the four dragons of the Blue Dragon Society, knew this news, he would probably be angry again.
The people of the Money Gang and the core members of the Blue Dragon Society are fundamentally different.
Most of the core members of the Qinglong Society are survivors of the former Qin Dynasty, or die-hard people who have gone through many tests and are loyal to the Qinglong Society.
These people were already prepared to go against the imperial court from the beginning, so after the failure of this operation, they had no intention of surrendering.
But the elites of the Money Gang are different. Although they are members of the gang, in the final analysis they only want to earn a living.
The rebellion was not what they wanted in the first place, but now they are surrounded by others, and the gang leader is dead!
Where does this give them the determination to die?
"Let me ask you, where was your gang leader hiding before?!"
Di Zhiyuan started interrogation mode at the scene.
Before the people of the Blue Dragon Society react, we must attack their hidden power in Shanyin Mansion to the maximum extent. Once they turn into the dark again, it will be difficult to catch them!
"I don't know where that place is, I just know that it is in a manor outside the West City Gate. Just walk fifteen miles northwest from the West City Gate. We have been hiding there for the past few days!"
Li Xunhuan, who was seriously injured on the side, added, "That is the manor of Yue Governor Shi Yao Chengxin, cough cough cough... I have already found out about this when I was investigating corruption in Yuezhou! I didn't expect them and the Qinglong Society to do the same.
Implicated! As expected, Brother Yang was right again."
"What did the adults say?!"
Di Zhiyuan was a little curious. Didn't he just find out about this just now?! Could it be that Master Yang had found out before?
"Qingyuan once said that every underworld organization will have a protective umbrella over its head! I thought this was strange at the time, but now it seems that this is a true insight."
"..."
Di Zhiyuan nodded in agreement. Although Yang Qingyuan sometimes used words and sentences that were inconsistent with the language commonly used today, what he said always made sense.
"Let me go there!"
Ye Jianhan, who had just finished adjusting his breath, said.
There are so many experts in the Qinglong Society. The evil tigers and blood-clothed men from before never showed up. Even if they were hiding in this manor, ordinary experts would not be able to deal with them.
"Master Ye and I will go together! After all, Dali Temple must act in accordance with the law. If Yao Chengxin is also in the manor, it will make it difficult for Dali Temple."
The one who spoke was Qinglong from Jin Yiwei.
Dali Temple was in charge of the highest judicial institution in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he followed the rules. Ye Jianhan had to follow the rules with Yao Chengxin when he represented Dali Temple.
Of course, there were people present who could negotiate the rules with Yao Chengxin. Li Xunhuan, the Yuezhou Metropolitan Inspector, and Di Zhiyuan, the deputy Yuezhou Inspector, could arrest Yao Chengxin.
But Di Zhiyuan is the person in charge of Shanyin now, and the matter of the bank has not yet been understood, so he cannot get away.
The inspector general Li Xunhuan was seriously injured by Shangguan Jinhong's dragon and phoenix ring and was unable to move.
Except for the two of them, the other members of the imperial mission do not have the authority of a governor to arrest at will.
At this time, Qinglong, the commander of Jinyi Weidong Town Fusi, made a brilliant appearance.
The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal guards, and they never follow rules when doing things.
"Then Commander Lao Qinglong will be here!"
"You're welcome! I am relieved to have recovered these eight million taels of silver today. I would also like to thank Mr. Yang, Mr. Li and Mr. Di!"
Qinglong was one of the persons in charge of the escort, although the theft of wages could not be entirely blamed on him, and even the entire escorting army did not bear much responsibility.
But Qinglong still felt uncomfortable in his heart!
The dignified commander of Weidong Town Fusi in Jinyi was actually treated like a monkey!
Fortunately, now that the silver has been recovered, Qinglong's psychological pressure suddenly disappeared.
"Yes! I got my salary back!"
When Di Zhiyuan looked at the silver coins all over the floor, his heart, which was still slightly suspended, finally relaxed.
Although he had deduced that the wages were here before, he did not choose to withdraw all the wages because he was afraid of alerting others.
Instead, they would use it as bait to catch Qinglong, but Qinglonghui could not resist the temptation of the fragrant bait in the end and swallowed the bait with the fishhook.
At that time, the Qinglong Association buried this treasure of silver in the ground, and now they dug it out with their own hands. It can be said that every peck and every drink has a certain number.
"Jian Han, you take five hundred elite soldiers and the elite from the Anti-Theft Department of Dali Temple!"
Ye Jianhan said to Qinglong, "I'll take the first step!"
As he spoke, his figure disappeared and ran towards Ximen.
Qinglong didn't feel dissatisfied. He generally knew Ye Jianhan's temperament. He didn't like to talk and liked to eat steamed buns.
Qinglong didn't think he could compare with Baozi, so it was reasonable for Ye Jianhan to be a little colder.
Immediately, Qinglong led a large group of people and set off towards the west gate.
---------------
In Yao's manor.
Li Hu and Xueyi also just returned here.
They were previously sent to Yangzhou to receive food going south.
That's right, it's the batch that was stolen from the granary and was never recovered, totaling three million stones.
As long as this batch of grain is stored properly, Gong Ziyu will no longer have to worry about the food and fodder for his soldiers and horses.
After this batch of grain was transported to Qiantang County, it was landed in batches.
It should be said that this timing was a coincidence. Yang Qingyuan led people to Minzhou, and Li Xunhuan led the Qiantang Navy to Shanyin. Qiantang County's defense was suddenly relaxed.
"Now that we have money and food in hand, plus the flanks of our allies, the master's plan to restore the country is already a sure win!"
Xueyi, who has always been calm and steady, has also gained some glory. Although he is not in charge of the Yuezhou operation, he still has a sense of participation and accomplishment in being able to fool old opponents like Yang Qingyuan.
Li Hu was not very interested, but seemed a little impatient, "When can we take action against Yang Qingyuan and Ye Jianhan!?"
Xueyi said, of course he knew what Li Hu meant. How could he not avenge the murder of his son?!
If it was just the revenge of killing his son, it wouldn't make the evil tiger hate him to this extent. What's more important is that he will never die.
Li Hu only had one son. When Li Hu's son Sha Hu was killed by Ye Jianhan in the Granary Case, he became a stepping stone for him to sharpen his sword skills.
How could Li Hu not hate this?!
What makes Li Hu even more crazy is that he can no longer have another son!
After Sha Hu turned eight years old, Li Hu integrated all the yang energy in his body into his martial arts in order to pursue the pinnacle of his martial arts.
Now he has lost his fertility, and the death of the evil tiger means that he will be extinct!
"I know the hatred in your heart, but it was Ye Jianhan who killed your son, so why bother to attack Yang Qingyuan?!"
Gongziyu secretly asked Xueyi to persuade Li Hu.
It doesn't matter whether Ye Jianhan dies or not, but Yang Qingyuan still can't be killed at the moment.
No one wants to make fun of their own lives before confirming the attitude of the person on Wudang Mountain.
Baishang only injured one of his apprentices, his disciples, and he almost killed him.
He also used up a soft jade armor that could withstand most of the world's internal forces. God knows what kind of uproar would be caused if Yang Qingyuan was really killed.
Before the great cause is stabilized, Yang Qingyuan cannot be killed lightly.
After the young master crosses Yueyang, it is not too late to kill him.
As for Ye Jianhan, he can be killed by Li Hu first to calm him down. After all, he has been loyal to Gong Ziyu for so many years.
"Brother Ji, there is no need to be angry. The death of the child named Ye is coming soon! Brother Ji will definitely take action himself when the time comes."
Li Hu was not satisfied with this answer, "What about Yang Qingyuan?!"
"This person still plays an important role in the master's plan and cannot die for the time being!"
Low EQ: Don’t dare to mess with me now!
High emotional intelligence: also plays an important role in planning.
Xueyi continued, "Besides, the real murderer of Yihu was Ye Jianhan! Yang Qingyuan didn't know about this matter. Brother Ji doesn't need to spread his anger on Yang Qingyuan."
"snort!"
Li Hu snorted coldly, "Yang Qingyuan is the person in charge of Dali Temple, and he is also responsible for Yihu's death. But since he is still useful to the young master, let's spare his life first!"
Then Li Hu continued, "When can I kill that Ye Jianhan! I will break his neck with my own hands!"
"Now you can!"
The voice outside the window answered before Xueyi!
"who!"
Both Li Hu and Xue Yi had taken advantage of the weather to enter the mysterious realm of the cave, and they broke out of the window one after the other.
A young swordsman in a blue shirt with short hair was holding his sword on the roof and looking at the two of them.
"Ye... sword... cold!"
When Li Hu saw this person, his eyes began to turn red. When enemies meet, what are you waiting for if you don't take action?!
Li Hu's true energy was drawn, and a strange-shaped long knife in the room fell into Li Hu's hand.
When Ye Jianhan saw this knife, he immediately thought of the man named Sha Hu, who was the first Yuanhua realm criminal he killed after joining Dali Temple.
Although it is not exactly the same, the sword in Li Hu's hand is very similar to the evil tiger at that time.
"The name of the sword is Bachi. Today I will use this sword to chop off your dog's head to honor my son Yihu's spirit in the sky!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hu kicked off the ground, used the force to fly up, and slashed down from top to bottom.
The green bricks where he stepped were crushed to pieces by this foot.
"You little beast, come and die!"
Ye Jianhan became interested when he saw this sword. Although the sword technique was not novel, he did master the essence of the sword technique.
This heavy-duty sword is so powerful that it can be struck with one strike, shocking the world.
Interesting! Really good!
At this moment, Ye Jianhan was injured by the Mahayana Ten Tribulations Sutra of the previous Five Dragon Heads. The injury has not yet fully recovered, and it is not suitable to fight with such a fierce sword technique.
Ye Jianhan's figure changed direction in the air and turned back several times in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the knife.
The Kunlun School's "Nine Dragons of Clouds" was taught by an unknown civil official who claimed to be "the sea of martial arts" and also liked to distribute secret manuals.
Then he stabbed three times with his sword, and three Hunyuan body-shattering invisible sword energies shot out of the air.
Yang Qingyuan and Ye Jianhan teamed up to create a modified version of "Invisible Sword Qi that Breaks the Sky".
Although this secret skill is extremely powerful, it can only be regarded as useless.
The threshold for his cultivation is too high! Throughout the ages, Xiantian Tianzhen has cultivated a lot of people.
But fortunately, Liumen Zhenshen is also a wizard, and he actually came up with a way to use Hunyuan True Yuan to replace the Xiantian True Yuan.
Although Hunyuan is not as magical and mysterious as Xiantian, it is still a bit better in terms of destructive power.
It lacks the edge of the innate sword energy and has more of the brutality of Hunyuan.
"Little tricks!"
Faced with Ye Jianhan's three sword thrusts that he immediately counterattacked, Li Hu did not dodge or dodge, but actually followed up with the three sword thrusts!
The moment the sword energy approached, Li Hu's outer robe exploded, revealing a pair of treasured armor underneath.
This armor was made in conjunction with his family's unique skills of horizontal training. With the combination of powerful forces, Li Hu's external skills of horizontal training have reached the point of being invulnerable, even not inferior to the Tianchi Monster's indestructible magical power!
