The Nanchen Army Formation suddenly erupted in shocking shouts. Seeing the Sui Army on the opposite side receding like a tide, not even having time to clean up the bodies of the dead soldiers, everyone's morale was greatly boosted and they were filled with excitement.
Regardless of the fatigue from fighting for half a day, his body seemed to be full of strength, and his face was filled with excitement and he shouted loudly to celebrate the victory of this battle.
The generals who were hidden among the soldiers had many thoughts on their minds. Although they were equally happy to have defeated hundreds of thousands of elite Sui troops, they were even more frightened by the combat power and might of Lei Hu's men.
Lei Hu commanded this victory, and his prestige naturally increased greatly among the armies. It was no longer possible to directly confront Lei Hu by inciting his soldiers to do as much as before.
It was them, when facing Lei Hu, no matter how senior they were, they would feel inexplicably inferior.
There was no way, the elite combat power of the Sui army was there, and the Chen army had always lost more than they won. Now that they can have such amazing results, the role of Lei Hu goes without saying.
From then on, Thunder Tiger's power was established, and no one in Nanchen's remnant army had the prestige to overpower him.
Not convinced?
Sure, if you have the guts, try leading an army to defeat hundreds of thousands of Sui troops?
Looking at Nanchen, except that when the founding emperor Chen Baxian was still alive, he had the courage and strength to fight against the powerful enemies in the north and was able to defeat them, in the subsequent emperors' era, Nanchen's military strength became weaker and weaker.
After all, the military is a place that values strength!
As long as you have enough strength, qualifications and prestige are all nonsense. Who among the soldiers below would not be willing to follow a victorious general? As for qualifications, prestige, etc., who among the soldiers below would care?
Sure enough, when Lei Hu then began to unify the various Chen armies in the name of reorganizing the army, except for some obstacles from the middle and high-level generals, none of the soldiers below showed any resistance.
When the main forces of the Chen Army and the Sui Army were fighting on the banks of Taihu Lake, Gusu City, where Nan Chen was temporarily stationed, was also quite lively.
Three masters, Song Que of the Heavenly Sword, Shi Zhixuan, the leader of the Huajian Sect, and Zhu Yuyan, the saint of the Yinkui Sect, suddenly appeared. This time, the master from the north did not show up. I don't know if he was hiding in secret, or if he had other plans?
The demon concubine Zhang Lihua brought a group of masters from the Yinkui sect and Qingxu Lao Dao to fight with them. The two sides fought without victory for half a day. It was not until the battle between Sui and Chen on the bank of Taihu Lake came to an end that the three innate masters had to evacuate quickly.
Avoid facing the Thunder Tiger that is about to return.
The three of them were helpless. They couldn't let go of such a valuable treasure as He's Bi. At the same time, they wanted to kill the demon concubine Zhang Lihua. Unfortunately, things didn't work out. As Chen Jun quickly established a foothold in the Taihu area, their chances were getting less and less.
.
Thunder Tiger's terrifying power made them extremely afraid, but they didn't know how to deal with it.
As long as this guy stays on the side of the demon concubine, the three masters intuitively have little chance of success, but they have no choice but to at least suppress the momentum of the demon concubine Zhang Lihua.
In fact, Song Que has almost given up on the idea of continuing the assassination. With her biological son as the crown prince of Nanchen, most of her future efforts will be spent on the disputes between the remaining forces of Nanchen, and her influence on the world will be minimized.
This was enough for Song Que.
As for Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan, they have actually seen this, and their murderous intentions towards the demon concubine are not that big anymore. However, they want to step on the demon concubine's body to gain power, but there are some things they have to do.
Of course, with a powerful existence like Lei Hu, I am afraid that the leadership battle of the Holy Sect will be quite fierce in the future. They are worried and don't know how to deal with it. At the moment, they can only take one step at a time. The key is to find out the details of Lei Hu.
Think carefully, otherwise you will have to worry about it in the future.
The reason why they joined forces to assassinate the demon concubine again was not only to take a chance, but also to show off their force so that Lei Hu would not dare to underestimate their intentions.
"Concubine Zhang, it's too troublesome for the Jianghu and the court to be entangled together. It's better to deal with it separately!"
Lei Hu returned to Suzhou and heard that the demon concubine was assassinated again. He was not impressed by the tireless spirit of the three innate masters. After meeting, he directly expressed his thoughts.
"What did General Lei teach me?"
Zhang Lihua was not angry and asked Lei Hu for his opinion.
"Concubine Zhang will focus on political affairs in the future?"
Lei Hu was not in a hurry to mention something and asked instead.
"exactly!"
Zhang Lihua answered readily, with a thoughtful look on her face, obviously knowing what Lei Hu was going to say next.
"Concubine Zhang, just break away from the Yin Kui sect!"
Lei Hu smiled and said: "Reorganize a sect with a few confidants and call it Xuan Yin Sect or something else. Let's avoid the internal disputes within the Yin Kui Sect first!"
"Does General Lei have such a negative opinion of me being in charge of the Yin Kui Faction?"
Zhang Lihua pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile: "It seems that right now, I and my close associates are still the most powerful force in the Yin Kui Sect!"
"But the future actions of Concubine Zhang and her men will basically focus on the Nanchen court. Even if they make any moves, they will be done in Jiangnan!"
Lei Hu smiled lightly and said: "Rather than occupying the name to make the dissidents in the noble faction dissatisfied, it is better to simply give up the name. There is no need to waste energy on infighting!"
"General Lei thinks it's possible for Zhu Yuyan to control the Yinkui Sect, so it's possible?"
Zhang Lihua was not angry, and smiled softly and said: "It's not that I look down on people, it's just that the Yinkui sect has a great cause..."
There was a pause at this point, and the implication was quite clear.
The power of the Yin Kui Sect is spread all over the world, mainly in brothels and some gray industries. If you want to control such a large industrial plate, you not only need amazingly capable manpower, but also extremely powerful skills.
Zhu Yuyan is now in his early twenties, and he has practiced martial arts well, but his skills are not necessarily very powerful, and it is not surprising that Zhang Lihua is suspicious.
"Concubine Zhang doesn't need to worry about this matter!"
Lei Hu, however, didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "What if we divide the area that can be controlled by Jiangnan and give the rest of the territory to Zhu Yuyan?"
He stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Lihua from speaking, and said with a smile: "If Concubine Zhang refuses to let go, Zhu Yuyan will only become more and more jealous. Regardless of her own ability, she will think that Concubine Zhang has hindered her from taking charge of Yinkui and is the biggest stumbling block on her way forward."
, there is no need for this!”
Zhang Lihua was silent. It was still a bit difficult for her to give up most of the interests she held in one go.
"Concubine Zhang must make a decision early!"
Lei Hu didn't mean to let go, and said with a smile: "Looking at Zhu Yuyan's cultivation speed, I'm afraid it won't take long before he can cultivate the Heavenly Demon Master to the peak of the seventeenth level, which is as strong as Concubine Zhang. Then
Then attack the Heavenly Demon, the highest eighteenth level of Dharma!"
"If Zhu Yuyan really succeeds in breaking through and has the tyrannical strength to sweep everything away, even if Concubine Zhang is unwilling to let go, the power of the Yinkui Sect will slowly be gathered in her hands!"
"If you want to cultivate to the level of Heavenly Demon and the Supreme Dharma, I think Zhu Yuyan may not have such a chance!"
Zhang Lihua, however, sneered again and again and said with disdain: "Looking at her relationship with Shi Zhixuan of the Huajian Sect, it is not simple at all. It is estimated that it will be difficult for her to maintain a perfect body before she can master the magic of the devil!"
Lei Hu smiled silently, but Zhang Lihua could see it clearly, but she didn't expect that Shi Zhixuan of the Huajian faction was not emotional at all. He just wanted to ruin Zhu Yuyan's chance to go further, otherwise he would not be as sober as in the plot of the Tang Dynasty.
, Zhu Yuyan’s strength was stuck in place for decades, and he almost went crazy.
"It is precisely because of this that Concubine Zhang should give up most of the rights of the Yinkui Sect as early as possible!"
He pointedly said: "If we really get to that point, it's okay for Shi Zhixuan to be affectionate. If he has evil intentions, Zhu Yuyan's future will basically end here!"
Ignoring Zhang Lihua's solemn look, Lei Hu continued: "When the time comes, Zhu Yuyan is emotionally hurt, and once he goes crazy and targets Concubine Zhang, he will attack the two princes regardless..."
boom!
Zhang Lihua could no longer hold back her anger, and smashed the table in front of her into powder with a fierce palm. Her enchanting face showed a twisted and ferocious expression, and she said coldly: "She dares!"
That was true, but Lei Hu could hear the hesitation in Zhang Lihua's tone, and it was clear that he had no confidence at all.
Excellent women understand equally excellent women best!
If, as Lei Hu said, Zhu Yuyan was hurt emotionally and her future was completely blocked, who knows whether she would go completely crazy and do whatever she wants?
Lei Hu didn't say anything. Zhang Lihua had to make her own decision on this matter, so as not to cause troubles in the future and blame him.
"Okay, I will listen to General Lei!"
After much thought, Zhang Lihua finally did not dare to gamble with the lives of her two biological sons, so she finally gritted her teeth and agreed. Wouldn't it mean giving up most of the power and interests of the Yinkui Sect in her hands?
"Don't worry Concubine Zhang, Zhu Yuyan probably won't harass you again in the future!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "Just taking over the many industries and forces of the Yin Kui sect will be enough for Zhu Yuyan to be busy for several years. If her skills are even slightly insufficient, she will fall into internal fighting and be unable to extricate herself in the future!"
He was not afraid of Zhu Yuyan, but he didn't want such a master to think of ways to assassinate him all day long, which would have a great impact on the morale of the army and the people, so it was better to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Without Zhu Yuyan, Shi Zhixuan would never dare to come alone. Unless his strength can reach the peak of the Double Dragon World of the Tang Dynasty, he may not even be able to withstand the cooperation between Zhang Lihua and a group of Yinkui sect masters, let alone meet him.
The results for Thunder Tiger were even worse.
With Shi Zhixuan's deep thoughts, how could he put himself in danger?
Once Zhu Yuyan lets go, he will let go just to harm Zhu Yuyan's future and will not continue to pester her.
To be honest, there is no conflict of interest between him and Yao Fei, it is just a challenge between the Holy Sect's newbie and the Holy Sect's established overlord.
Without these two people, Tiandao Song Que would not continue to persist. The interests of the Lingnan Song clan and the Nanchen court are consistent, and there is not such a big conflict of interest at all. It is not time for him to live in seclusion in the Sharpening Hall.
In short, in Lei Hu's view, Zhang Lihua can really say that the sky is brighter if she takes a step back!
