() "Don't be afraid, everyone. Now that the matter has been done, the Third Prince will not let us go. We surrendered today. It won't be long before the Third Prince will slowly eliminate us."
"Yes, we can only survive if we unite and kill the third prince first." Those who spoke were the children of the Wu and Zhou families. They knew very well that even if the third prince could forgive others, he would definitely not forgive them.
The children of the family. For this plan, they only have a chance to survive if they fight hard.
Under the unremitting encouragement of the children of Wu and Zhou, the remaining people also looked at Liu Yu uneasily. They couldn't help but tighten the weapons in their hands that were getting looser and looser.
Looking at the performance of these people, Liu Yu smiled disdainfully, "A bunch of wallflowers, what an embarrassment." He touched the sleeping Purple Winged Lion King's shoulder slightly, and the Purple Winged Lion King cheered up instantly.
Breathing out two streams of purple fire, it burned towards the two people who spoke with the force of lightning.
"Ah!" The two people didn't even have a chance to react, and were burned all over by purple fire. This purple fire was also strange. Although it burned them, it couldn't burn them to death, it just kept torturing them.
"Ah! Kill me, kill me quickly." The two people couldn't bear it and kept pleading with the people around them. Seeing the miserable appearance of these two people, the people around them backed away one after another, for fear that the purple fire would burn them.
Finally, the two of them randomly picked up a weapon from the ground and committed suicide! Such a scene was really horrifying. Finally, someone couldn't stand the huge psychological pressure and still dropped the weapon and knelt on the ground. There was the first one and there was the second one.
, and soon everyone threw away their weapons.
"Very good, you all are very aware of current affairs. Your Highness will only kill the culprit and leave the rest unaccounted for. You can point out the Wu and Zhou families and then you can leave."
The remaining people changed their minds slightly and made a decision. Anyway, dead Taoist friends are not dead. They pointed out the few remaining disciples of the Wu and Zhou families.
Seeing that they could not escape, the remaining disciples of the Wu and Zhou families who "killed" picked up their weapons and rushed forward with their dead soldiers.
"I don't know what to say." The purple-winged lion king on his shoulder once again spit out purple fire. The purple-winged lion king's native purple fire is so domineering. Different from the purple fire he spit out before, this time the purple fire is purely for killing people. He rushes to kill.
Those who didn't even get close were burned into ashes by the purple fire.
The outcome of the resistance greatly shocked the remaining people in the tent, and no one dared to have other thoughts. The originally foolproof beheading plan ended like this.
A Hongmen Banquet allowed Liu Yu to seize power. The Wu and Zhou families were all slaughtered. The remaining people who had taken refuge with the Wu and Zhou families, although Liu Yu did not commit the murders, were mostly denounced and lost 70% of their military power.
eight.
All this was done quietly, and without the knowledge of ordinary soldiers, Liu Yu firmly controlled the 100,000 forbidden troops. Liu Yu also issued a silence order on these generals, strictly prohibiting external reports, so as not to shake the morale of the army.
The middle-aged old general was named Feng Kun, and he was Liu Yu's grandfather's old subordinate. He loved his family and was very loyal to Liu Yu, the third prince. Feng Kun's ability to lead troops in battle was not bad, and he had a good reputation in the army.
Liu Yu directly ordered him to take over the army.
Taking over the army is also a technical job. It is necessary to place one's own people without causing resentment to others. The ability of those who are promoted must be tested, and their loyalty must also be tested. The problem is that the forbidden army has only arrived not long ago, and Liu Yu is very concerned about the generals and military schools among them.
The understanding is only on the surface. Moreover, Liu Yu has a lot of powerful people under his command, but are they generals? Haha! There are really none.
These things really made him confused. If it weren't for the help of loyal generals like Feng Kun and Han Ying, Liu Yu would have made a mess long ago and might have given up.
After two days of busy work, all the trivial matters such as promotion and relegation of all personnel were finally completed. Liu Yu could finally feel at ease and returned to the county office leisurely, and continued to read his military books with peace of mind. To be honest, Liu Yu really didn't like it.
Reading, but compared to the things that gave him a headache, reading seemed to feel better.
However, Liu Yu's relaxation did not last long. Not long after he sat down, he heard from the guards that Feng Kun came to visit.
"See Your Highness"
"Free gift"
"Thank you, Your Highness",
"Alas!" Liu Yu sighed. As soon as Feng Kun came, Liu Yu knew that something was wrong. He should be arranging the army now, and it was a time when his busy feet were off the ground. How could he have time to visit him now? Liu Yu was
I'm really afraid that something will happen again. As a Ming Dynasty family, the Zhou and Wu families are powerful and capable. Although Zhou Yunfan is dead now, and Liu Yu has also purged his old subordinates, there is no guarantee that there will be anything left in the army.
The confidant is here.
"I wonder why General Feng came here today? Is there a change in personnel and some people are dissatisfied? Or maybe the news that Zhou Yunfan and others are dead has spread, and the morale of the army is in chaos? If you have any bad news, tell me,"
"What's this all about!" Before Feng Kun could stand still, he heard the third prince asking some unexplained questions, as if the army was about to be in chaos.
"Your Highness, the Forbidden Army is currently very stable and the morale of the army is relatively strong. There is no chaos happening!"
What a false alarm! Liu Yu touched his head and said sheepishly, "Oh! That's fine, as long as the army is stable. Then what is the purpose of General Feng coming to see His Highness?"
Feng Kun, who was confused by the third prince's question, remembered the purpose of his visit when he heard the third prince's question, and immediately said, "Your Highness, something is wrong this time. Two days ago, the general told Your Highness that something was going to happen."
Be careful with Zhou Yunfan. However, when Zhou Yunfan made a move, the general did not react. The general thought that even if Zhou Yunfan was disadvantageous to His Highness, he would not be able to take action so quickly. But the general also did not expect that Zhou Yunfan, a traitor, would actually...
..”
"What do I mean? It turned out that I came here to apologize. I was shocked." Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and her anxious heart relaxed.
"General Feng does not need to blame himself. His Highness also thought that Zhou Yunfan would not take action, but he did it anyway. Zhou Yunfan does not use his brain to do things, and these things cannot be judged at once."
The third prince actually understood that he was here to plead guilty, and the misunderstanding was now serious. "Your Highness, Xie, understood that I actually had other things to do when I came this time. The general thought that Zhou Yunfan was so eager to commit trouble, and there was something fishy about this matter..."
."
"General Feng, tell me what you have to say, why are you so hesitant?" Liu Yu actually felt something was wrong about this matter, but he was so busy these two days that he didn't think about it in detail. When Feng Kun mentioned it, Liu Yu also started to think about it.
.
This week Yunfan was able to sit on the position of general and firmly grasp the military power. He was not an idiot. How could he act in such a hurry? It was still in his commander's tent. Wasn't this clearly telling the world that he was the one who killed the third prince of the Ming Dynasty? He
It is entirely possible to kill him on the battlefield or in other places that have nothing to do with him. "The last general thought that Zhou Yunfan took the risk because of the surrender letter from the Yan army."
Liu Yu didn't react for a moment, "Yan Jun's letter of surrender? What does this have to do with Yan Jun's letter of surrender? Even a fool can see that Yan Jun's letter of surrender is delaying time to prevent the lack of food and grass from shaking the morale of the army."
"Your Highness, since the Yan army submitted the letter of surrender, Your Highness's reputation has been increasing day by day. If His Highness had climbed up and called out at this time, Zhou Yunfan might not even be able to greet the soldiers. Perhaps, it is because of this that Zhou Yunfan took the risk."
At this time, Liu Yu also came to his senses. The Yan army had no food and grass. Even if the surrender letter was submitted, the Yan army's food and grass would not arrive for a while. The only thing waiting for the Yan army was destruction. But he submitted the surrender letter so readily and made a big show of it.
Promoting the prestige of this third prince is obviously not to please Liu Yu, the third prince.
He really hasn't thought about this matter. After hearing what Feng Kun said, it is really possible. If this is the case, then Yan Jun's poison makes him sweat coldly just thinking about it. "You have underestimated the people of the world."
!”
"You are saying that the Yan army is using counterintuitive tactics to provoke civil strife in our Ming army. This Yan army is really true," Liu Yu said slowly and expressionlessly. Anyone who is familiar with Liu Yu knows his expression.
The calmer you are, the angrier you are inside. Liu Yu's performance now undoubtedly shows that this person is already angry to a certain extent.
"Your Highness, actually speaking of it, Zhou Yunfan has been executed now. So maybe this is a good thing!"
"A good thing?" Liu Yu frowned. In anger, he did not realize the hidden opportunity.
"Your Highness, no matter whether this matter is a plan of the Yan Army or not. Zhou Yunfan's rebellion will be detrimental to Your Highness, and our army will definitely be in turmoil. With such a good opportunity, the Yan Army will definitely send troops to defeat our army to solve the shortage of food and grass.
