In the tent of the Longteng Army, Shi Hu, the lord of the dragon, is still summoning generals, and he is no longer limited to the generals of the Chinese army.

Most of these generals who were summoned by the Lord were young generals who were young and strong under the current state of Qian, and there was a relatively similar characteristic, that is, these generals did not have a strong clan background.

And when the generals had been summoned by the Lord, they either returned to their respective units or turned to the side, and none of them proclaimed in public why the Lord had summoned them or what instructions He had given them, as if nothing had happened.

If it continued until late at night, more and more people gathered outside the Longteng military camp waiting for news. In order to prevent these emotionally turbulent subjects from gathering together and causing any accidents, the Chinese army, which was responsible for defending the Longteng military camp, also sent some soldiers out to maintain order.

The time stream that can gather here is naturally not an ordinary cold house, and the anxiety and panic in their hearts have exhausted their patience, and even the fear when they first received the news has gradually receded, replaced by a complex sense of resentment, and more and more people have begun to make noise.

As the descendants of the lord, the officers and men of the Chinese army can maintain a strong and arrogant posture most of the time, but now the people gathered outside the camp are all powerful and powerful ministers.

When these people really began to make noise and even tried to storm the camp, they also fell into passivity for a while, although they were still preventing these people from entering the camp, but their posture was not as resolute as at the beginning, especially some people even directly accused them of these fierce soldiers who intended to control and imprison the king, and the appearance of fierce gods and evil gods who were about to fight for their lives made them gradually become more worried.

In the end, it was the general of the Chinese army, Wuyi Wang Shijian, who came here in person, and Li Se conveyed the lord's dictation, so that these people became calm again. However, seeing that the camp was overcrowded, and those powerful officials who rushed to hear the news, including their respective servants and subordinates, were nearly thousands, Shi Jian's brows were also slightly furrowed, and he returned to the big tent worriedly.

Taking advantage of the temporary end of the knock inside, Shi Jian tended to enter the hall, and as soon as he entered the room, he said: "Father, there are too many people gathered outside the camp, I am afraid that there will be an accident, whether to let the Chinese soldiers out of the camp ......?"

"They are willing to drink at night, let them be!"

Without waiting for Shi Jian to finish speaking, Shi Hu said in a gloomy tone: "Dog thieves, a group of dog thieves!" I don't want to make too much noise, but I will breed their own treacherous guts, and they all deserve to die! Damn ......"

Although the tone was still fierce, it also revealed a sense of fatigue.

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, Shi Hu also had to admit that he was no longer in the prime of his spirits, and after hearing the secret performance, he thought hard about countermeasures, planned for a few days and now implemented it, and almost never fell asleep peacefully.

Right now, he was half-lying on the high couch, and although the stone room had its own means of heating, Nishiki's legs were already a little paralyzed by cold. There were no foreign ministers present at this moment, so he motioned for several palace people to step forward, remove their shirts and skirts, and warm his already decrepit body with body temperature.

Seeing that Shi Jian was still frowning and worried, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "This kind of small scene can scare you into lying down, and you are worthy of being my son?" If there is really a traitor who plots to kill your father this time, and you are so bold, even if you are lucky enough to live, you will only ruin the family and the family! ”

When Shi Jian heard this, he knelt on the ground in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "Son, son just, just hope that my father will be healthy in his body and that spring and autumn will be prosperous." The Longteng military camp is always not as heavily defended as the Forbidden Garden, and the supreme body of the father and emperor is really not suitable for living in a fierce place for a long time! ”

Seeing Shi Jian like this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Shi Hu's eyes, and he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but after a while, he sighed: "Cowardice is not necessarily bad, at least it will not be risky to seek death." It's not that there are no fierce and young people in the house, but they don't act like the world, but they only bare their teeth left and right. The court is full of bad sons, if one person becomes a weapon, why will your father be persecuted by personnel to this extent! Is that island gateway in the south really a hundred times better than my home? Countless heroes in China are all at the foot of your father. The northern kingdom has become my family's court, and I can't develop a heroic choice, and compete with that Shen Weizhou for glory......"

Speaking of this, Shi Hu's chest couldn't help but be indignant again. He lamented that his sons were not successful, and he was not disappointed in himself. It's just that in addition to that, more is unwilling.

Now that he is getting older, he lacks energy, and he feels more and more the helplessness of being poor in manpower, but if he is ten years younger, no matter how different the power of the north and the south is, he is confident that he will fight again and kill that southern island with his own hands!

Shi Jian had heard similar nagging more than once, from the initial panic and fear, to now he has gradually become accustomed to it. Even the panic on his face at this moment is mostly just a gesture, and there is even no lack of slander: no matter how much this father looks down on himself, doesn't he need to rely on himself, who is already the eldest son?

Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for Shi Jian's tireless efforts to run inside and outside, how could it be carried out so smoothly?

As for the brothers who were reused by Jun's father earlier, where are they now? If he didn't have his son, who seemed to be unsuccessful, he would still be able to use it, and the father would only be able to stay in the forbidden garden to vent his boredom?

Of course, Shi Jian only dared to think about these thoughts in his heart, and did not dare to reveal them at all.

Shi Hu complained about his son's mediocrity like an ordinary old man, and when his eyes fell on Shi Jian, who was kneeling on the ground, he was full of complications.

Compared with the other sons who valued cultivation in his early years, if Shi Jian has any advantage, it is deference. If the country is stable and prosperous now, and there is no internal and external crisis, Shi Hu is willing to cultivate this obedient son.

But now that the internal and external situation is like this, as his son, he should have a fierce majesty, and it is not enough to be obedient. With the death of several sons he focused on cultivating, Shi Hu didn't give Shi Jian a chance, but the more he put his heart, the more disappointed he became, and he even wanted to cut open this son's chest to see if he had a few fewer hearts than others!

In the more than a year since he moved to Xindu, Shi Hu's focus has been on reorganizing the army. Especially the Chinese army of the Sixth Army, he regarded him as his henchman, and he could only rest assured if he handed it over to his son to command.

There are many domestic and foreign affairs, and it is difficult for Shi Hu to put all his energy on the Chinese army, and there is no lack of self-concern in his heart, even if this son's talent is indeed unbearable, but with his own majesty and protection, there should be no problem in controlling the Chinese army.

But when he really made efforts to review the Chinese army, he found that even this henchman who was most trusted by him had been seriously infiltrated and co-opted.

And all this, Shi Jian was at a loss, and the alertness and sensitivity he showed were not even as good as Shi Zun, the young son who had been deliberately ignored by him for a long time, because even Shi Zun actually developed two captains in the Chinese army as eyes and ears!

It's a pity, it's a pity!

Shi Hu's mind flashed the figure of the young son Shi Zun, and he sighed again in his heart. If his son didn't have a finished weapon, Shi Hu was also a little unwilling, at least as far as he knew, Shi Zun's recent performance was much stronger than the Shi Jian he really cultivated.

Whether it is cautious self-protection in the current situation in Xindu, or quietly weaving his wings, including after learning about the military situation of Xiangguo, he did not choose to directly stab himself in front of him to win favor, but chose to inform Zhang Ju, a powerful minister of the foreign domain who was about to return to China. Among them, the delicate intentions and the decisiveness of the trade-offs are not even a little inferior to Shi Hu's father.

It's still time to wait, and now Shi Hu doesn't have the time and energy to cultivate Shi Zun, a son who has already shown his grandeur, from scratch, and the future can only be done by himself. But if you do it again, even on the eve of the battle in southern Hebei last year, Shi Hu will take this young man with him, teach him carefully, and use it as a good choice to replace Shi Di.

But now, even if Shi Hu has such intentions, it is already a step too late, if he still has to push this son to the foreground, and let him bear the dangerous pressure that he can't bear at all, it will only hurt him, just like Ma Qiu, who died not long ago.

Shi Hu didn't continue to summon the generals, and Shi Jian in the room just knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere became dull for a while, just echoing Shi Hu's irrepressible gasps.

This assassination was exactly what he arranged, and the main purpose was not even to kill the traitors in the country, but just to see how much the country's power and people's hearts had been corrupted under the strong attack of the Jin army! And the results are already obvious, shocking! If it were possible, Shi Hu would not even want to know and face the current situation, so he would have to be deceived and covered up!

Xiangguo was lost, tens of thousands of troops were almost wiped out, how could Shi Hu not know such a big thing? Anyone with a clear mind in the country can't guess whether he has arranged one or two henchmen in Xiangguo?

But even so, those dog thieves still dare to do this! Is it a fluke, or is it fearless?

Fierce for half his life, Shi Hu is naturally not a person who can endure humiliation and seek satisfaction.

In the old years, he had never done anything, and he was even seriously suppressed by the ancestor Shi Le, he dared to directly use force and send troops to attack the door of his political opponent Cheng Yao, mess with his family, and adulterate his wife and daughter! At that time, he was brave and crazy, and he was fearless!

But this time, he couldn't go on. Maybe some traitors thought that he still didn't know anything about it, but in fact, he knew exactly where Ma Qiu was intercepted and when he was killed!

But even if he knew, what could he do?

Shoot directly to kill Zhang Jackal? There are many protégés of the Zhang family, and now there are at least 10,000 private soldiers of the Zhang family outside the city of Xindu, scattered in the camps of various armies and exiles. Once Zhang Jackal is killed, these people will be out of control, and if there is a riot, it will be difficult to kill and control, which will make the situation outside Xindu City erode in an instant!

Send troops to answer and save Ma Qiu? If he does this, he still can't avoid the fate of Ma Qiu being intercepted and killed, then his majesty will be even more gone! And it will completely spread the news of the fall of Xiangguo, and make the situation in the hearts of the people of Xindu even more collapsed!

Even when his son learned of this information, he did not choose to tell him directly, but chose to contact the returning country. This means that even his son no longer believes in his ability to continue to control the situation!

Zhang Ju led the Youzhou army back to China, and there must be no shortage of news channels on the way to learn about the military situation of Xiangguo, including those allies who Zhang Jackal encircled and cooperated with him for this reversal, and there must be no shortage of people at both ends of the head, relying on this to make friends with Zhang Ju.

But when Zhang Ju sent someone to summon the country to retaliate, he did not say anything else, only that it was his son Shi Zun who warned him, which was almost equivalent to demonstrating to him and questioning him. Even if Zhang Juruo still abides by his duty as a minister, even if he learns about this, he should not choose to expose it to him, but to lead his troops back to Xindu as soon as possible to protect the lord Jingnan!

Zhang Ju's report made the last fig leaf that Shi Hu wanted to keep gone, and his weakness and his loss of control of the situation were gone! If he can't provide Zhang Ju with a guarantee, in order to avoid himself from encountering the same fate as Ma Qiu, Zhang Ju may even lead troops to be stationed abroad and not return to China!

Compared with the fall of Xiangguo itself, there is no doubt that the subsequent events have dealt a greater blow to Shi Hu, and it can even be said that the evil consequences accumulated by the previous mistakes have exploded!

If he hadn't been in a hurry to march south in the early years, he would not have led his troops outside at the critical moment when his ancestor died and the country was in turmoil, and he failed to control the center at the first time, so that Hebei fell into a long period of civil strife and attrition.

After the failure of the southern expedition, there was a shadow in his heart, and he also entered the Xiangguo at the same time as the victory of the Central Plains in the south, but he did not dare to attack Henan at the first time, and gave Shen Weizhou in the south time to calmly solve the internal crisis in Jiangdong, so that his people cut off the constraints and no longer have to worry about the future.

Even after the end of the southern expedition to the west and the defeat of Guanzhong, the difference in strength between the north and the south was not too great. And Shi Hu's decision at that time was also correct, he should take advantage of the fact that the southern country is too big to spread out, and make every effort to make a southern expedition.

It's just that at that time, he finally owed a little bit of courage when he was young, and he didn't choose the Luoyang Xingtai center in the south, but chose the Qingyan land in Henan as the main direction of attack, hoping that even if he couldn't win, he could also win the southern figures. I want to take care of both, but I lose a lot!

Even when Xiangguo fell last year, when he returned to Xiangguo, he did not dare to lead the people to retreat to Xindu, but should hate the oath and go south in one go. At that time, it had become a conclusive fact that the south was strong and the north was weak, and no matter how much he managed and consolidated the interior, it was impossible for him to catch up with and surpass the south in terms of fundamental strength in such a short period of time.

Even if the Xiangguo Kingdom fell at that time and the sons killed each other, the initiative in this war was still on the Hebei side. If he can grit his teeth, withstand the pressure, and personally lead the army to attack Fangtou first, and then take Luoyang, even if there will be changes in the process, but the soldiers will always walk between survival and death, and only the death can survive!

But at that time, he still retreated, this retreat seemed to temporarily avoid the edge and gather strength, but he lost the most important and precious thing he had, that is, the fierce image created by the strong and sharp advance for most of his life!

The army was defeated, the land was lost, even the national capital was breached, and his descendants were slaughtered, but he was able to endure it, not only to let his countrymen and opponents see his weakness, but also to let his subordinates perceive his fierce inwardness!

Shi Hu didn't know that his retreat would bring great damage to his prestige, so he was also trying to make up for it. For example, deliberately revealing to people that he was going to make a big feud with the ministers, since his prestige was damaged, and he could no longer completely use this to deter the ministers, he might as well supplement it with Huili, so that these people realized that except for following him, it would be impossible for Nanguo to give them such respectful and generous treatment! Only by fighting side by side with themselves can they hold on to what they have in the moment!

But Shi Hu still underestimated the extent of the loss of his prestige, or underestimated the allure of the splitting of the earth to the ministers and generals under his command. These dog thieves, in order to ensure that the sealing ceremony can be carried out smoothly, actually dare to join forces inside and outside to cover his eyes and ears!

has not yet been divided, the people's hearts have been divided to this point, once the fiefdom and the people are given to these wolf ambition dog thieves, can they really stabilize the situation, and hope that they can work together with themselves to counterattack the Jin army? Joke!

But the situation has developed to this point, how can it be said that it will stop? Not only the stone tiger, but even these generals in the country have been put to the point where it is difficult to ride a tiger, and everyone is looking at this, they have already swung the butcher knife to Ma Qiu, the king's henchman, and swung it at the king's side!

Today's Shi Hu, in the eyes of the ministers and generals, is no longer the mighty Zhao Tianwang of Hebei, but a dying prey waiting to be slaughtered and eaten. They have each been hinted at and promised, and have reached a consensus that they cannot tolerate breach of contract!

In the past, even before the news of the fall of Xiangguo came, Shi Hu would never believe that he would be forced by the difficulties of the world to gamble his life and death!

But other than that, he had no other means to stop the surging momentum of the collapse of the country. Although he also understood that once this move was implemented, it would bring more damage to his prestige, but if he couldn't stop the New Year's ceremony, once the ceremony was completed, he would no longer be the emperor of Great Zhao and the leader of the princes' alliance, but would only become a dying puppet, being held by those powerful clans!

Fortunately, this time he made the right bet, the generals may have been accustomed to internal struggles, bullying and concealment, but in the case of the national situation is already in danger and the Jin army is pressing forward step by step, they suddenly still can't accept the situation without themselves as the master.

On this day, Shi Hu did a lot of things. The first is to detonate the fear in the hearts of the civil and military ministers, so that they can realize that the male lord is not old, as long as he does not die for a day, there is still room for the country to be maintained, he is in the country, and if he dies, the country will collapse!

After that, he re-established his authority in the army, and re-established his control over the internal and external military by co-opting and appointing a large number of self-motivated young generals who had not yet immersed themselves in internal friction and power struggle.

Of course, in the process, it is inevitable to use some shady methods that cannot be put on the table, such as in order to screen the reliability of the Chinese generals, special arrangements were made for those Chinese generals to enter their respective henchmen into the accounts to deliver meals to Zhang Jackal and other important ministers who were temporarily imprisoned, and deliberately created a scene for them to transmit news to the outside world, so as to lure these Chinese generals to take the initiative to expose their secret collusion with the ministers.

Although this will give people the impression of evil and suspicion, it can at least ensure the innocence and purity of the generals screened. He will provide support and opportunities for these young generals to surpass those powerful ministers and old ministers in the country, so they naturally need to take a certain risk to show whether they are qualified for this kind of opportunity!

The process went very smoothly. A group of innocent and frank young generals were selected, and after dispatching the various armies, it was enough for him to firmly control the Inner Sixth Army in the Xindu City.

Then it's time to deal with the really big goals.

Thinking of this, Shi Hu lowered his eyes and looked at his son Shi Jian in the room, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by perseverance and coldness: "At present, domestic affairs are temporarily over, and before and after the event, my son has no shortage of courage to boast of." Now it is of great use to you, if you can do well, even if you do not have your father's protection in the future, there will be a place for you in the world! ”
