After defeating the Iron Blood Army, the Power Sect took the opportunity to capture large areas of land in Hexi and Hedong, but Emperor Li was not so happy now.
Three years ago, the Power Sect also defeated the Kansai Army and controlled a large area of land in Kansai.
At that time, Emperor Li was very satisfied and thought that the sect's nearly century-old ambition would be realized in his hands.
Unexpectedly, the people's hearts and minds were completely lost due to the reckless behavior of the teaching personnel.
After the Kansai military government regrouped, under the attack of the Ding'an Army, the rule established by the Power Sect collapsed in an instant.
Now Zhang Leng decided to make a desperate move and united with the Yanbei rebels to attack the most elite iron-blooded army of the dynasty.
Now, at the cost of nearly 2,000 casualties among high-ranking members, the iron-blooded army that had arrived in Yanbei was finally defeated.
The power of the Power Sect has also risen again.
But Zhang Leng has already understood after experiencing a failure that if he cannot consolidate his achievements, what he gained will soon be lost.
If you are in a remote corner of Kansai and blocked by mountains, you will encounter failure.
Nowadays, the land in Hexi is only one step away from the Iron-Blooded Army, and there is also a conflict between Hedong and the Yanbei Rebels due to territorial issues.
Emperor Li was now afraid that he would be defeated again before his footing was stable.
Because the Power Sect had lost a large part of its power after the last failure, this time the sect's elites were all out.
If it failed, the sect might have disappeared into oblivion.
"Listen, you must restrain your subordinates and not do things that disturb the people.
Anyone who offends will be killed without mercy," Emperor Li ordered.
"We have already given the order, and we have now sent out several hundred days of inspections.
Anyone who violates laws and disciplines will be killed without mercy."
Mr.
Zhuo replied.
"I heard Wan Xiaozi say that in this attack on the Iron-Blooded Army, the people we sent out marched in chaos and suffered great losses.
Remember, we are right under the Iron-blooded Army's nose now, and it's different here.
In Kansai, there is no dangerous terrain to defend.
If it continues to be in such chaos, will it be possible to stop the Iron-Blooded Army?"
Emperor Li angrily admonished.
"Those people are all high-ranking members of the sect.
They have been scattered all over the place and are used to being kings and hegemons.
That's what happened when they couldn't organize themselves for a while.
I have ordered people to arrange the levels.
When the time comes, the levels will be It's clear that they can be trained into an elite force.
It's okay for the others, but the Tianjuns are not convinced by anyone, and they are about to start a fight.
I can't control it.
Please handle it personally.
"Mr.
Zhuo is a little worried.
He said awkwardly.
"If there is anything easy to handle, I will hand over the power to you, and you will represent me.
Anyone who dares to disobey is disobeying me.
Pass on my words, deprive those people of the title of Heavenly Lord, and let them start as ordinary believers.
I wonder who will dare to cause trouble in the future," Zhang Leng said angrily.
"My lord is wise, I will take care of it right now."
Mr.
Zhuo said and was about to go down to deal with some troublesome Tianjia soldiers.
"Wait a minute.
I heard that we had some minor friction with the Yanbei people because of territorial issues.

Wan Xiaozi has been out for almost ten days.
Is there any news?"
Zhang Leng asked.
"Shifeng City has sent an envoy, and he will be here soon.
How does the Lord plan to make a decision?"
Zhuo Lao asked.
"The cooperative relationship with Wei Zeng cannot be destroyed, otherwise we will not be able to deal with the Iron Blood Army alone.
But if we give in blindly and let the people in Yanbei think that we are easy to bully, I am afraid they will fight immediately .
Let the envoy see our strength first, and then take a step back, so that everything can be handled easily.
Come here, I will explain the specific arrangements to you in detail."
Zhang Leng called Mr.
Zhuo over and explained the arrangements quietly. go out.
After receiving the order, Mr.
Zhuo went out to make arrangements.
Jiang Luqing also understood that Wei Zeng, the envoy of Emperor Li, was a test for him this time.
He already knew what Wei Zeng and Qi Weilun meant, which was to let them gain as much space as possible for the Yanbei Rebels, so that Emperor Li could focus his main energy on Hexi, thus becoming the front line for the Yanbei Rebels to resist the Iron-Blooded Army.
Jiang Luqing thought carefully about various situations that he might encounter, and followed the people led by the Strength Sect to the residence of Emperor Li.
When Jiang Luqing came to the gate of the mansion, he saw dozens of warriors lined up on both sides.
They were not holding swords, guns, swords and halberds, but stone locks weighing dozens of kilograms in each hand.
They stood there calmly and calmly, not showing any blush. asthma.
Seeing Jiang Luqing's arrival, two groups of strong men lifted the stone lock, and the bottoms met to form a stone lock passage.
The strongman was motionless, with veins popping out in his raised arms, showing his strength.
"Envoy Jiang, please.
Your Majesty is waiting for Envoy Jiang to arrive in the mansion."
The envoy waved his hand and asked Jiang Luqing to pass first.
Jiang Luqing saw that the raised stone lock was only supported by one arm.
If it fell, people walking in it would inevitably be injured by the stone lock.
Jiang Luqing knew that Emperor Li was giving him a blow and deliberately replaced the sword, spear, sword and halberd with a stone lock, but he couldn't show weakness, so he walked over first.
The envoy who received him was amazed when he saw that Jiang Luqing was not afraid at all and just walked towards the house step by step.
However, due to Emperor Li's explanation, he winked at the person in front.
I saw a person in front of me shake his arm after seeing the look, and the stone lock fell downwards.
Jiang Luqing was walking forward step by step when he saw a stone lock almost hitting him in the face.
He was shocked, but he forced himself to calm down and pushed the hand in front of him, but he couldn't push it at all.
"Why are you, Ambassador Jiang, our distinguished guest?
How can you be so unreasonable?"
The envoy who received him stepped forward and reprimanded angrily.
"Just now, a bug got into my sleeve, and accidentally, my hand fell off.
I was afraid that the stone lock would hurt Messenger Jiang when it fell, so I didn't dare to relax my strength.
I didn't want to offend Messenger Jiang intentionally."
After that, Lux started again.
Lift the stone lock.
"Envoy Jiang, please continue walking.
I will definitely punish this person."
The envoy who received him said politely.
After Jiang Luqing heard this, he didn't want to get angry.

He squeezed his sweaty palms and continued to move forward without changing his expression.
Lihuang Zhang Leng was sitting in the lobby waiting for Jiang Luqing's arrival.
He waved his hand to let him sit at the bottom of the table.
"I am the envoy of General Wei Zengwei, and I also represent the entire Yanbei Rebel Army.
The Yanbei Rebel Army and your army are indeed allies.
It is really inappropriate for me to sit under General Zhang."
Jiang Luqing refused.
"But I have the only seat in the middle of the hall.
It makes sense for you, General Wei, to put another seat in there.
I'm afraid it's too much for you to want this too."
Zhang Leng said with a smile.
"Of course I won't be so rude, but I still have to follow the rules.
I can just stand here and talk to General Zhang."
Jiang Luqing said.
"Since Ambassador Jiang insists on doing this, it has to be like this.
Generals, please step down."
Zhang Leng said.
The officers on both sides wearing yellow robes and carrying swords sat on their seats one after another.
Jiang Luqing stood alone among them, looking so out of place.
"General Wei sent you here to discuss the border issue east of Hedong.
Why don't you tell Wei Zeng what he thinks?"
Zhang Leng said in a rough voice, pretending to be dignified.
"What our General Wei means is that we hope your army will retreat thirty miles, and we are willing to give up three hundred miles northwest of Hexi to your army."
Jiang Luqing responded.
"Three hundred miles northwest of Hexi, Wei Zeng must be joking.
That place is under the control of the Iron-blooded Army.
If we go there, a hundred thousand Iron-blooded Army will swallow us up immediately.
Why don't you retreat thirty miles?
, I will give you a thousand miles of Guanbei."
Zhang Leng laughed angrily.
"Guanbei and Anyun are naturally different.
From Guanbei to Yanbei, you have to pass through the Yushan Mountain Road.
Now our army has built the Yushan Pass and is heavily guarded.
Even if there are 100,000 soldiers in Guanbei, they can't stop it.
Our land in Yanbei and Hexi is a plain away from Anyun, and can only be defended by major cities.
If a hundred thousand iron-blooded troops come from the east, can the general hold it?"
Jiang Luqing replied.
"According to what you said, we can't give up even an inch of land east of Hedong.
Without Hexi, we have to rely on Hedong to hold on."
Zhang Leng changed his face after hearing this.
"General Zhang is so short-sighted.
It has been almost half a year since our Yanbei Rebel Army broke out in autumn.
We have defeated the Jingnan Army and the Iron-Blooded Army in a row, and have already established a prestige.
Now the people are loyal, the soldiers are attentive, and relying on the natural danger of Guanluo River, we can only It only takes a thousand soldiers to make it difficult for the Iron-Blooded Army to cross the river when the Guanluo River freezes next winter.
What if the Iron-Blooded Army attacks?

Now in the Yanbei area, our army has gathered the refugees, opened up wasteland everywhere, and even has troops to garrison the fields.
When the warehouses are filled with money and food next autumn, we can recruit 100,000 soldiers, and there will be 50,000 elite warriors at our disposal.
When the Iron-Blooded Army arrives, what will our army have to fear?
I wonder if General Zhang can do it?"
Jiang Luqing said with emotion.
"Our army's new acquisition of these lands is indeed not as good as that of Yanbei.
However, our strength sect has followers all over the world.
Even if we can't defend the west of the river with these believers, there will be no problem in the east of the river.
Thirty miles is too long.
If it is reduced some Then there is no problem."
Zhang Leng calmly bargained.
"General Zhang needs to understand.
Our army and your army joined forces to defeat the 30,000 iron-blooded troops, so we have the land of Hexi and Hedong.
If we cannot defeat An Yun's 100,000 iron-blooded troops, Hexi cannot be defended, and Hedong can be defended.
Live?
If the Iron Blood Army is defeated, not to mention the three hundred miles northwest of Hexi, the entire Anyun Can we run away?
There are frequent conflicts between our army and your army in the area east of Hedong.
General Wei loves his soldiers.
It would be bad if he angers your army because of the casual death of his soldiers.
No.
General Zhang needs to think about it," Jiang Luqing said.
"Who is afraid of a war?
Will we still be afraid if the Yanbei army comes?"
A general in yellow immediately stood up and said: "The Lord asked me to kill this man first, give me three thousand men and horses, and I will sacrifice Shifeng City." for you."
Zhang Leng's expression changed several times, then he raised his trembling hand, pointed at the general in yellow who stood up, and said, "Someone, please take this rude man out and beat him again."
Then he turned to Jiang Luqing.
Said: "Envoy Jiang is right.
The friendship between the two armies is more important than anything else.
Isn't it just thirty miles away?
We just need to retreat.
Now the priority is to fight against the Iron-blooded Army.
Otherwise, when the Iron-blooded Army comes, no one will be able to take advantage." " Jiang Luqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Leng agreeing.
This was half threat and half temptation, and he was trembling in his heart.
Seeing that the envoy's mission was accomplished, he borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "General Zhang is very knowledgeable.
Your sect is based on strength."
Famous, you should know that strength is the foundation of everything.
With strength, you can hold the world in the palm of your hand.
Without strength, every inch of land will be taken away by others.
Anyun has been a prosperous place since ancient times.
With this capital, General Zhang will achieve great success in the future.
Since General Wei has made a promise, he will definitely not break his promise.
I would like to express my congratulations to you in advance for making Anyun a great hero.”
"Haha, Mr.
Zhang thanked you in advance for your kind words.
I wonder if Mr. would be willing to stay in our army.

I happen to be short of a counselor of the three armed forces.
His status is second only to me.
I wonder if Mr.
Zhang is satisfied," Zhang Leng said with a smile.
"It's an honor for me that General Zhang thinks highly of me.
However, you have to be loyal to what you do when you are entrusted by others.
After I report back to General Wei, everything else can be discussed."
Jiang Luqing declined politely.
"Sir, why are you leaving in a hurry?
You have to stay for a few days, otherwise Wei Zeng will blame me for not fulfilling my duty as a landlord."
Zhang Leng said.
"Since General Zhang asked me to stay, I'll stay for a few more days."
Jiang Luqing frowned, but still agreed.
After Jiang Luqing left, the smile on Zhang Leng's face disappeared.
He turned around and said to the people around him: "He came to our army alone and dared to talk like this.
It is quite brave.
Send someone to send him some gold and silver treasures and a few coins."
He is a beautiful man, let’s see if we can recruit him.
Let Wei Zeng know that our army is not easy to bully.”
"Lord, are we really going to retreat thirty miles just because of a few words from him?"
"He has a saying that is right.
Everything depends on strength.
Now that we are not as good as the Yanbei Army, we naturally have to take a step back.
When we become stronger in the future, I will let Wei Zeng repay us tenfold
