Daqin: King of the World

"Report, two commanders, Xianyang sent a delegation, saying that there is an edict to announce."

When the words of the report fell, a soldier of the Lingnan Army, covered in black armor, arched his hands and asked for instructions.

"An edict from the central court?"

I heard that Ren Xiao, the commander of the Lingnan Army, and Zhao Tuo, the deputy commander, were all shocked.

Since the pacification of the Lingnan area, the central court has basically not issued any edicts.

"Come on, get someone soon."

After all, it was sent by the central court, and Ren Xiao couldn't think too much, and said to the soldier who notified him.

"It just happened that the emperor came to the throne soon. Could it be that what happened in Guanzhong Xianyang?"

Compared with Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo thinks more and plans for the worst.

You know, the central imperial court issued an edict to Lingnan, which in itself is strange enough.

"Beijing Ya imperial army partial general-Li Cunxiao, the central court has met Ren veteran general, Deputy Commander Zhao."

Li Cunxiao, who wears a standard Imperial armor and has not changed his clothes, said very politely.

"It's actually the Beiya forbidden army. Is it possible that what happened to the central court?"

Involuntarily, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo looked at each other, thinking of the biggest possibility together.

You know, the Beiya Imperial Army is the absolute imperial army guarding the palace and the emperor, and generally speaking, it will not be easily dispatched.

"Lingnan Army Commander Ren Xiao, deputy commander Zhao Tuo, have met the special envoy."

Many parties represent the central court at any rate, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo can only suppress their doubts and say equally politely.

"Old General, Deputy Commander Zhao, please listen to the edict!"

The fire kept coming to the distant Lingnan, Li Cunxiao did not have too much politeness, he just said.

Now it is the time difference. One more day to return to the north, the central court will have an extra guarantee, so as not to form a scene of internal emptiness.

"..."

The first step is to read the edict. Whether it is Ren Xiao, who is experienced in combat, or Zhao Tuo, who is prepared for a rainy day, the anxiety just now becomes more obvious.

"Your Majesty's encyclical, the situation in the Lingnan area has stabilized. When Yili is transferred back to 200,000 soldiers, in order to guard the entire center."

"Veteran General Ren continues to sit in Lingnan, Deputy Commander Zhao led 200,000 soldiers to return north, no mistake!"

Holding the one full of fonts, showing the brocade cloth with the seal of the jade seal of the country, Li Cunxiao methodically one by one.

"Two hundred thousand soldiers return north?"

When he heard half of it, even Ren Xiao, a veteran of a generation, was shocked by the great efforts in the edict.

Two hundred thousand soldiers returned to Guanzhong Xianyang from the north, and almost transferred nearly half of the entire Lingnan army. It is false to say that it is not surprising.

"Your Majesty really doesn't make a move. One move is an absolute big deal, a total of 200,000 troops."

The shock in my heart was not much worse than Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo's expression changed, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"..."

Seeing Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo whose expressions changed in unison, Li Cunxiao did not urge each other, but waited in place.

However, his left hand began to make a gesture behind him, indicating that the Flying Tiger Army who also came to Lingnan was ready to fight at any time.

"As the situation in Lingnan stabilizes, and the 500,000 army is far away in southern Xinjiang, it is not a way to keep going."

"If you oppose the movement of the 200,000 army, it will inevitably arouse your majesty's suspicion, and the military strength of the central court will be empty."

After the previous shock, Ren Xiao's eyes flashed with a thought, and he groaned in his heart.

"The situation in Lingnan has just stabilized, and now we are drawing 200,000 troops back to the north. I'm afraid it will cause a big rebound."

Noting the old general Ren Xiao who was groaning, Zhao Tuo frowned, and then said his biggest worry.

"Zhao Tuo..."

Without forgetting the emperor's special explanation, Li Cunxiao was ready to start when he heard Zhao Tuo's intervention.

As long as Zhao Tuo repeatedly blocked him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he would be killed directly on the spot.

"The 500,000 army is now far away in Lingnan. Even if it is General Wang Jian, he has never received such treatment."

After all, military power involves political sensitivity, Ren Xiao glanced at Zhao Tuo, and said with a point.

"this!"

Hearing that, Zhao Tuo immediately gave an initiation. He recovered from what he had just deduced, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt lingering in his heart.

Even if there is a big rebound in the situation in Lingnan, with the pressure of 300,000 soldiers, it may not be able to cope in the early stage, but the late stage is much calmer.

You know, when Wang Jian attacked Chu Kingdom, it was 500,000. Once the opponent was destroyed, he immediately returned his military power. It was a hot potato.

On the other hand, I was still blocking it, no less than actively seeking death!

"Fortunately, Ren's reminder, otherwise, I will not escape death at all."

When he figured out the stakes, Zhao Tuo suddenly woke up, not even knowing that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

"..."

Seeing this, Li Cunxiao withdrew his previous actions and changed from a one-strike stance to a typical military defensive action.

perhaps……

What Zhao Tuo didn't know was that he had just walked through the ghost gate and was almost killed on the spot.

"The commander-in-chief of the Lingnan Army, Ren Xiao, was ordered to transfer 200,000 soldiers from the north to Guanzhong Xianyang."

Seeing that Zhao Tuo understood the meaning of own, Ren Xiao arched a military salute and prepared to receive the edict.

"The deputy commander-in-chief of the Lingnan Army, Zhao Tuo, obeyed the central imperial order and led 200,000 soldiers on the road to return north."

Similarly, Zhao Tuo, who learned that the Lingnan Army was involved in political factors, said without hesitation.

"Old General Ren, Deputy Commander Zhao, and his Majesty gave an oral message to gather 200,000 soldiers today and start returning north tomorrow morning."

With the same attitude of the two, returning to the north is half of the completion, Li Cunxiao smiled and ordered specifically.

Still the same sentence, the sooner the returnees from the north can reach the north, the better, so that Daqin's interior will not be too weak.

"Ordered!"

With that, Ren Xiao, who was the commander-in-chief, took a few steps forward and solemnly accepted the edict.

"Fortunately, I was not confused just now, and I need to be more careful in the future, so as not to make another big taboo."

Recalling the scene just now, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but warn himself that it is reasonable to think more about everything.

Perhaps the generals do not need too high a political level, but some particularly sensitive places need to be kept in mind.

That's it...

Under the edict, Ren Xiao was still fully responsible for Lingnan affairs, while Zhao Tuo led 200,000 soldiers to return to the north, and Li Cunxiao supervised him...
