Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 97 Zhang Liao?

The next day.

Morning ends.

Not long after Zhou Chen returned to the Yangxin Hall, the house guard came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of War wishes to see you."

The Minister of the Ministry of War asks for an audience?

Zhou Chen frowned.

"Let him in."

The court had just retreated this morning, and Zhou Chen was a little surprised that the Minister of the Ministry of War had come to Yangxin Hall again for something important.

The house guard and factory guard retreated in response.

After a while, the Minister of War entered the Yangxin Hall.

"I have met the emperor." The Minister of the Ministry of War walked into the Yangxin Hall and bowed respectfully to Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon throne.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of War: "Ai Qing came to see me in Yangxin Hall. What's the matter?"

After the death of Taishi Wen Zhongzhan, the Minister of War became one of the representatives of the loyal veteran group.

Now that Fang Xuanling and the Eight Sages Wang Zhou Xian have gone to the four northern states, only the Minister of War can keep an eye on some matters in the court for Zhou Chen.

The Minister of the Ministry of War said with a cautious face: "Your Majesty, the person sent by the Ministry of War to convey the decree to the two princes, the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang, has just returned."

"Both the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang said that there have been frequent foreign movements on the border recently, and Beidi and Xirong have been harassing the border from time to time in the past few days."

"The two princes are afraid of losing the border, so they cannot mobilize troops south to quell the rebellion in a short period of time."

The Minister of War said, lowering his head slightly.

Frequent movements of alien races, harassing the borders?

Can't mobilize troops to go south to quell the rebellion?

Zhou Chen sneered after hearing the words of the Minister of War.

"I don't think it's because the alien races are making frequent movements and harassing the border. They can't mobilize their troops to go south to quell the rebellion."

"It's because they want to support their troops and respect themselves. Let's just sit back and watch the war in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Zhou Chen said with a sneer.

Zhou Chen's words made the Minister of War's body tremble involuntarily, and he buried his head lower.

Even he, the Minister of War, could see such an obvious excuse clearly, let alone the person on the dragon throne.

The Minister of War remained silent.

For things like this, the best choice is to be a transparent person, with only ears and no mouth, and remain silent.

"what else?"

Zhou Chen looked at the Minister of War again and asked.

The Minister of War immediately replied: "There are also two marquises, the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang, who have ordered the entire army to pay homage to the Grand Master for three days."

"Ha, he is quite good at winning people's hearts." After hearing this, Zhou Chen sneered again.

Zhou Chen could guess the intention of the two princes, Zhenbeihou and Xilianghou, without even thinking about it.

Grand Master Wen Zhong, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, had a profound influence on the border troops.

I don't know how many people in the border army had ever followed the Grand Master.

What these two princes did was just to appease those people's hearts.

The Minister of War hesitated for a moment and said to Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon throne: "Your Majesty, if the two princes cannot mobilize troops to go south to quell the rebellion, then what about the four northern states..."

The Minister of War did not continue, but the meaning was obvious, he was asking Zhou Chen what should the emperor do next?

The two princes could not mobilize troops to go south to quell the rebellion.

Should we continue to give orders to the two marquises to mobilize their troops, or should we just forget about it.

Of course Zhou Chen understood what the Minister of War meant, and glanced at the Minister of War with an expressionless face: "I understand."

"I never expected them to send troops south to quell the rebellion."

"For the affairs of the four northern states, it is enough to have Lu Bu and Wei Wuhou with two hundred thousand divine guards."

Zhou Chen said calmly.

really.

Zhou Chen never planned to rely on the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang to send troops south to work with Lu Bu and Wei Wu to put down the rebellion in the four northern states.

With Lu Bu and Wei Wuhou leading 200,000 divine guards, it would be enough to wipe out the rebels in the four northern states.

And the only reason why he ordered the deployment of troops to the two marquises of Zhenbei and Xiliang was simply to test the attitudes of these marquises who had been guarding the border.

Let's see if there is still a court in the eyes of these princes who have been away for a long time and guard the frontiers with heavy troops.

Obviously, this result came out.

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, the Minister of War felt like a mirror.

When Zhou Chen issued this decree before, all the civil and military officials in the court had already guessed Zhou Chen's intention.

Now why Zhou Chen said it so straightforwardly, the Minister of War was not much surprised.

I just sighed in my heart, it seems that the two princes of Beijiang and Xiliang were blacklisted by the one on the throne.

I just don’t know when and what means the man on the Dragon Throne will use to deal with these two princes.

I hope it won't be suppressed by the army.

Otherwise, if the war breaks out, the border areas will be in chaos.

When the time comes, if foreigners take the opportunity to knock on the door, they will be in big trouble.

"Then I will resign first." The Minister of the Ministry of War came to Yangxin Hall mainly to report the fact that the two princes did not send troops to go south to quell the rebellion.

Now that the report has been completed, it is time for the Minister of War to resign.

Standing in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, facing the man on the Dragon Throne, Minister of War, felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

Zhou Chen nodded and asked the Minister of War to retreat.

After the Minister of War left, Zhou Chen's eyes flickered and said, "The attitudes of Beijiang and Xiliang are clear, so the only one left is the one from the east."

"As for Southern Xinjiang..."

Zhou Chen paused for a moment; "The patron king has not returned to the court for a long time! I wonder if he can still sit still after hearing that the grand master died in battle and there is chaos all around the north."

Zhou Chen said to himself.

never mind.

Don't think about this anymore.

Better sign in first!

Ever since Zhou Chen finished the monthly sign gift package, the people who signed in every day in the past few days were factory guards. I wonder if he is still a factory guard today.

"Sign in."

Zhou Chen directly clicked on today’s check-in.

【Ding…….】

【Sign in successfully.】

[Congratulations to the host for gaining the allegiance of the character Zhang Liao.]

Zhang Liao?

Zhang Wenyuan?

Zhou Chen was stunned.

Unexpectedly, a character appeared during today's sign-in, and it was Zhang Liao.

Although Zhang Liao's military power was not too high among the Three Kingdoms, he was still considered a hero.

Especially in terms of leading troops in combat, it can be said that he is a rare general.

A majestic figure appeared in front of Zhou Chen.

"The last general Zhang Liao bows to the emperor." As soon as Zhang Liao appeared, he knelt on the ground and saluted Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took a look at Zhang Liao's strength. He was in the middle stage of a first-grade grand master and was pretty good.

Although it is not as good as Lu Bu's Half-Step Heavenly Man, it is also not as good as Cao Shaoqin's peak Grand Master.

But in the middle stage of Grand Master, he is considered a rare master in this great week.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan doesn't need to be polite, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Liao stood up.

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, the four northern states are in chaos now, and it is exactly the time when generals like you are needed. You should leave immediately and go to Lu Bu's tent in Yanzhou to obey orders!"

Zhou Chen knew that although the Nanying Shenwu Guards were controlled by Lu Bu, many generals had been eliminated, and not a single bit of their strength had been lost.

Now Zhang Liao has signed in and is sent to Lu Bu's side to assist Lu Bu in commanding the Nanying Shenwu Guards.
