After receiving the news that Emperor Zhou abdicated and abdicated to King Yu, Xiao Zhan knew that it would not take long for King Yu to take action.
Therefore, he left 200 million fine cavalry at the border and asked Lu Kui to be the general to command the 200 million fine cavalry to prevent the demons from sending troops again. He led 100 million fine cavalry and rushed back to Xiliang City.
"Your Majesty, since the news of King Yu's ascension to the throne has spread, the number of people who come to us to sign up to join the army has significantly decreased, while the number of people who have come to the court to sign up to join the army has increased significantly. It seems that King Yu's ascension to the throne has given many people of the Zhou Dynasty enough confidence!
"As soon as Xiao Zhan returned to the palace, the person in charge of recruiting new soldiers, Yan Shouxiao, said worriedly.
Xiao Zhan said: "Everyone knows King Yu's ambition, so why do most people in the Zhou Dynasty still come to support him?"
This made him a little puzzled.
Keeping the word of filial piety: "King Yu is the best master in the world. Most people in the world admire him. In fact, they also hope that he can become the emperor of Zhou Dynasty."
"In the past, the people secretly scolded him because Dazhou was weak and paid compensation to the Northern Yi, Southern Barbarians, and Demons to cede territory. However, he, the greatest uncle in the world, did not do anything to help His Majesty stand up for Dazhou. For this reason,
I suspected that King Yu was weak and afraid of trouble, so I became extremely dissatisfied with him."
"Now that King Yu has ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the people think that by sitting on this chair, he will no longer work for the late emperor, but for himself. They feel that King Yu will do great things."
"So I had hope in him, and I admired him as the best in the world, so I naturally went to work for him."
"Of course, there are also many people who think that King Yu is treacherous and that the weakness of the Zhou Dynasty was caused by him. The purpose is to pull the late emperor off the throne and let him become the emperor legitimately. Therefore, they are dissatisfied and want to overthrow him.
, but they coveted him, so they didn’t dare to join the opposition of King Yu, which led to a sudden decrease in the number of people who came to us to sign up to join the army."
Xiao Zhan nodded and said: "First, train the new recruits. After a victory, the number of people who come to us to sign up for the army will increase."
Yan Shouxiao said yes and was about to organize training for new recruits.
At this time, someone ran in.
"Your Majesty, send a letter to your flying pigeon, indicating that you should sign it personally!"
Xiao Zhan took the letter, opened it and read it.
Content: Zhou Yanjun, the son of King Yu, leaked that King Yu had planted 10 million spies and mixed them with the recruits of the Xiliang army. He hoped that the King of Xiliang would not leak the news and find a way to find out the spies to avoid war with King Yu in the future.
, the spy activates the massacre mode in the Xiliang army, which will cause the Xiliang army to defeat the king.
Handwritten by the deposed prince Zhou Zhengjie!
After Xiao Zhan read it, he gave the letter to Yan Shouxiao.
After seeing it, Yan Shouxiao's expression suddenly changed and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, if this is true, if we don't find out the spy, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Xiao Zhan asked: "Do you think it is true or false?"
Yan Shouxiao thought for a few seconds and said: "When my father was still alive, Prince Zhou Zhengjie often exchanged secret letters with my father. The prince supported my father and opposed King Yu. You are my father's grandson-in-law. I don't think he would lie to you, and there is no reason for him to do so."
He's lying to you, because he hopes you defeat King Yu, and he still has hope of sitting on the throne."
"Of course, my father specifically told me before he died that the prince is kind and can assist him in ascending to the throne if he defeats King Yu."
"My father has always been very good at judging people, so I don't think he is causing panic to us, but that he is really doing something. It is necessary to spend time to find out the spies!"
Xiao Zhan nodded after hearing this.
Then, he ordered: "Go and call all the generals above the rank of Zhonglang General here."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Not long after.
Thousands of generals of the rank of lieutenant general and above were present.
These generals were either brought by Xiao Zhan from Beiyi or fought out of the Xiliang army. They are all reliable.
So, Xiao Zhan read the contents of the letter to them.
It immediately caused an uproar.
"King Yu is so despicable. He actually planted 10 million spies among the new soldiers. If the two armies go to war, 10 million spies will start killing in our Xiliang army. Our Xiliang army will be in chaos. Even if we are not defeated, we will have to fight."
