While Lin Zhao was collecting honors in the Northern Territory, Zhao Shutong was presiding over the imperial edict of mountains and rivers in the north, and Lin Ruo was leading the Panshi Army to resist the demon clan, undercurrents were surging in Baidi City. The next day, rumors spread throughout the city, and the streets and alleys
The people in the room were all secretly discussing in low voices, what they were discussing was the demon clan. The demon clan was about to move south. The Panshi Army, one of the six great palace divisions of the Great Shang Dynasty, was stationed at Guxiaoguan. The commander of the Panshi Army, Lin Ruo, had been thwarting the demon clan's attacks for days.
But he was still unwilling to go north to attack the enemy. It was said that a monk intercepted a secret message between Lin Ruo and the demon clan commander Jun Gang. The two had already been in secret. As for why Lin Ruo was unwilling to go north to attack the enemy, it was precisely
His policy of "raising the bandits and respecting themselves" means that as long as Lin Ruo fights against the demon clan in the north for a day, the Great Shang Dynasty will continuously supply him with food, grass, weapons, equipment and other materials, which will cost him 150,000 yuan.
The Rock Army had to allocate huge sums of money from the national treasury to support his expedition.
Early morning, Qinzheng Hall.
A minister of the Ministry of War took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the battle report has been sent from the front. The Panshi Army has been very effective in guarding Guchao Pass for several consecutive days, killing nearly 100,000 monsters. The power of the Panshi Army has been greatly intimidated.
After defeating the demon clan, this is a God-given opportunity to go north to attack the enemy, but Commander Lin Ruo has been holding back his troops for a long time. Recently, some news has spread in Baidi City..."
"what news?"
The young emperor Zhao Jingheng frowned: "You can just say it."
"yes!"
The Minister of War gritted his teeth and said: "There are rumors that a monk accompanying the army intercepted the letters between Lin Ruo and the great demon master Jun Gang. The letter revealed that Lin Ruo promised that he would never go north to attack the enemy, while the master Jun Gang
He would send some favors and send some old and weak soldiers of the demon clan to die in front of the ancient Miao Pass. In this way, Lin Ruo could get an endless stream of money, food and equipment allocated by the court, and Shi Jungang would have time to plan and solve the nine towns.
The Sword Tower and the Snowy Tianchi are such troubles."
"Are the rumors true?"
Zhao Jingheng said calmly: "Master Liu, Commander Lin Ruo is an important northern minister of our Great Shang Dynasty and a famous general. Do you dare to spread such wanton slander and unfounded rumors in the court?!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
The Minister of War quickly knelt down.
At this time, Zhao Qiyang stepped forward with a serious look on his face and said: "Your Majesty, Shanhaisi has also received some rumors. It is said that many generals in the Panshi Army are taking the initiative to attack the enemy. In this way, not only can they collapse
The crisis in the ancient Huoguan Pass can further demonstrate the power of our Great Shang Dynasty. As Lin Ruo is the commander of the palace, it may not be an option for one person to defend it."
"Uncle Emperor..."
The young king frowned and said: "Although I don't know about soldiers, I also know the historical record between our Great Shang Dynasty and the demon clan. The demon clan defeated my human clan's more than 300,000 elite soldiers with a military tent of 200,000 troops.
There are many examples of battles. The ancients did not bully others. Even in the battle of Tianchi in the Snowy Land a hundred years ago, the human race used more than five million heavy troops to defeat the tens of millions of monsters. This was still based on Lin Baiyi's Tianlu strategy.
It can only be done under certain circumstances. Our human soldiers all know that if the number is lower than that of the demons, it is almost impossible to win against the demons."
He paused and said: "Now Lin Ruo only has 150,000 rock troops, but the Demon Clan has a million people. In addition, the Demon Clan has 300,000 cavalry. At this time, let Lin Ruo leave the pass and go north to attack the enemy."
, can’t his heart be punished? I know what kind of thoughts those who say Lin Ruo and Shi Jungang have a secret conspiracy have.”
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Zhao Qiyang said in a deep voice: "It can be said that our Shang Dynasty is now strong and powerful, but the luck of the demon clan is about to be exhausted, and it is almost exhausted. And although your majesty has been familiar with military books since childhood, after all, he is just
Talking about military affairs on paper, His Majesty has never actually been on the battlefield and does not know how to fight. The veteran believes that the most important thing in the Northern Territory now is whether Lin Ruo is loyal to the great merchants. If an imperial edict is issued to order Lin Ruo to go north, Lin Ruo will be known after one test.
How weak is your heart?"
"this……"
Zhao Jingheng stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "How can this be done?"
"His Majesty!"
Another minister knelt down and said: "In the history of our human dynasty, there have been countless instances of generals turning traitor before battle. Are there too many such examples? I hope your majesty will adopt His Royal Highness King Ji Nan's advice and order Lin Ruo to attack before a catastrophe occurs.
Enemy, don’t let Lin Ruo ruin the great power of our Great Shang Dynasty!”
Many ministers knelt down one by one to support Zhao Qiyang.
"A bunch of mediocre people!"
At this time, Giant Sheep Gong Lin Yan turned around, pointed at a group of courtiers, and sneered: "Do you really want to make my grandson Lin weak to death?"
"Giant Yang Gong."
Zhao Qiyang smiled calmly and said: "Do you still remember the Poyang Incident ten years ago? The leading general Zhuge Xun was very similar to Lin Ruo today. At that time, Juyang Gong was the one who strongly advocated forcing Zhuge Xun to fight the demon cavalry. But
In the end, Zhuge Xun actually led 100,000 troops and surrendered 20,000 demon cavalry and left, which became one of the great shames of our great merchant in recent years. This was exactly the same thing as before. When it happened to him, how could the Grand Duke's temperament change?
Is it narrow?"
"you……"
Lin Yan pointed at Zhao Qiyang, and was so angry that he stamped his feet and beat his chest. The Tangtang Twelve Realm almost died of anger. If possible, Lin Yan could not wait to turn the dead fat man in front of him into a rain of blood with one palm, but he happened to be next to the fat man.
Cao Ying and Huang Qingning were standing in the twelve realms, and Lin Yan was powerless even if he wanted to kill them.
"Your Majesty, please prepare a decree!"
Zhao Qiyang knelt down and begged.
For a time, more than 70% of the ministers in the court knelt down and worshiped.
"Jing Heng."
Empress Dowager He, who was sitting not far away and listening to the government, said softly: "You are still young and cannot understand many things. Have you forgotten your father's last words? If you are undecided about something, you can ask your uncle."
"But Lin Ruo..."
Zhao Jingheng gritted his teeth. He had known Lin Ruo since he was very young. Even his boxing skills were taught by Lin Ruo. Zhao Jingheng knew Lin Ruo's character very well. How could someone like him collude with the demon clan? But Zhao Jingheng had no choice.
, he is just a puppet sitting on the throne, and the real power lies in the hands of the Queen Mother and Zhao Qiyang.
"Jing Heng!"
Queen Mother He's tone became a little more serious and she said, "Don't be willful."
"well……"
Zhao Jingheng's body trembled slightly, and he slowly stood up from the dragon chair and said: "You have the holy edict and the jade seal. You can write whatever you want. What can I, Zhao Jingheng, say?"
"Jing Heng, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Queen Mother He said sternly.
"Ah……"
Zhao Jingheng turned around with a smile and left the court. It was not until he was far away that a vague voice came back to the court: "Those who corrupt our human race will have their retribution sooner or later..."
…
Afternoon.
A golden order from the Ministry of War in Baidi City was sent to the case of Lin Ruo in Guzhuoguan. This was a golden order, signed by the Minister of the Ministry of War. It was regarded as the highest order conveyed by the Ministry of War, and the specific order was also issued by the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Written by himself, he ordered Lin Ruo to lead the Panshi Army to go north to attack the enemy. There was also a gold medal edict, which was sent to Wang Ling of the Jihan Army, requiring that after Lin Ruo went north, the Jihan Army came out together and fought in Panshi.
The right side of the army attacked the Demon Clan position, blocking the attack from the Demon Clan cavalry on the right side for the Panshi Army.
"Your Majesty..."
A soldier dressed as a scribe frowned and said: "This gold medal decree..."
"Just pretend you didn't receive it."
Lin Ruo frowned and said: "Instruct the three armies to remain stationary and continue to guard Guchu Pass. No one is allowed to leave the city. Anyone who dares to open or close the city without authorization will be beheaded immediately!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
However, in the middle of the night, the second gold medal order arrived. It must have been that after the monks from the Shanhai Division discovered that Lin Ruo was not moving, Feiyu sent a letter to Baidi City, and the military order of this second gold medal order was
The words were harsher and even threatening. If Lin Ruo continued to resist the order, his commander-in-chief might not have to do it anymore.
Lin Ruo sat blankly on the battlement at the head of the city, not paying attention to the falling snow from the sky. There must be someone causing trouble in Baidi City, and some good people are stirring up the situation, but he, the former
But the military commander has nothing to do, just like a marionette. This is already the second gold medal order, and there may be a third one. What should we do then? Do we keep disobeying military orders?
At noon the next day, Lin Ruo did not wait for the golden edict from the Ministry of War, but received an imperial edict from Emperor Zhao Jingheng with the same wording, ordering Lin Ruo to attack the enemy without delaying the opportunity.
But how to go out and attack the enemy? Shi Jungang and Yu Feng have already laid a big net in the north. The mere 150,000 Panshi Army is not enough to fill people's teeth. Could it be that just for this imperial edict, they led 150,000 people?
A human man going to die?
He once again disobeyed military orders. After accepting the imperial edict, he kept it secret and pressed it directly.
But late at night, there was suddenly a fire outside Lin Ruo's room. When he put on his military armor and pushed open the door of the room, he found a dense group of captains of thousands and thousands of captains kneeling outside. Many of them had
It's already covered with thick snow.
"Your Majesty!"
A captain of ten thousand men said solemnly: "We have learned about His Majesty's imperial edict to send troops to attack the enemy. We also know that the commander-in-chief does not want our brothers to die, but this is indeed an excellent opportunity to go out to the city to attack the enemy, and we are not willing to bear it.
As for the last charge of disobeying the Holy Will, please give me the order from the Palace Commander, and we are willing to follow the Palace Commander out of the city to kill the enemy!"
For a moment, countless Rock Army soldiers raised their swords: "We are willing to follow the palace commander to kill the enemy. Please don't hesitate, palace commander!"
…
"It's over..."
Lin Ruo, a physically powerful Tianyuan realm warrior, felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body at this moment. He slowly stepped back a few steps, with despair in his expression. The Rock Army was finished. This army that had guarded Yangping Pass for hundreds of years was over.
The whole army was about to be annihilated. It was not necessary at first, but with the situation in front of us, it was obvious that someone was spreading rumors in the army and deceiving everyone. If he continued to suppress everyone by force, a mutiny would definitely occur in the army, and then it would be even more unstoppable.
Cleaned up.
"knew……"
Lin Ruo frowned: "Generals, please return to the camp immediately to rest and prepare to follow me north to kill the monster at noon tomorrow!"
