The moment the imperial edict was spread, the whole world was shocked.

Putting aside the general of Tiance, just the opening of a palace is enough to shock people.

What is this?

This is the court allowing you to recruit your own private forces!

Although, in this chaotic world, the Great Zhou has long lost its previous terrifying ruling power, and the princes of various places have risen up, wars have been raging, and soldiers have been recruited.

However, these are all personal behaviors, which are not allowed by the court. Anyone who dares to privately raise troops will be identified as a traitor by the Great Zhou without hesitation!

But opening a palace is different. This is what the court allows you to do. Although the number is not so large, you can already legally recruit soldiers.

This is a miniature version of a king of a different surname!

However, despite being shocked, not many people think that Ning Fan is unworthy.

Not only did he win all three battles at Yumen Pass, but he also killed Dong Puti, who was at his level, and fled alone, almost dying at Yumen Pass.

In addition, Ren Pingsheng was also named the Grand Commander of Liangzhou.

Ning Fan did not have any fluctuations about this imperial edict. In his opinion, as long as the guys in the capital were not stupid, they would never dare to contradict his opinion.

It doesn’t matter who the Grand Commander of Liangzhou is. What’s important is that if Ning Fan is not happy, no one can sit firmly, and that’s enough.

On the second day after the edict was issued, Ren Pingsheng rushed to Liangzhou to take office, and at the same time, the newly trained 100,000 troops were completely handed over to this famous general of the Great Zhou.

With the two major passes of Shanhaiguan and Yumenguan guarding below and Liangzhou guarding above, Youzhou now seems to be as solid as a rock if it only looks like it.

The hot summer gradually recedes, and the coolness climbs up the branches.

The early autumn day was still hot. Ning Fan sat in the Great Commander’s Hall, and sat in the pavilion with Liu Taibai and Qingying, drinking herbal tea and chatting about everything under the sun.

“Master.”

Tianyi came from nowhere and whispered something in Ning Fan’s ear.

Ning Fan’s face gradually hardened, and he nodded, and then asked Tianyi to leave.

Liu Taibai and Qingying saw the change in Ning Fan’s expression, and immediately understood that something might have happened.

“The old emperor of Beimang is dead!”

Ning Fan spoke slowly.

“The heir to the throne is Yang Xiao’s old lover, Princess Beimang, Li Zhaoxin!”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two changed immediately.

Ning Fan stood up, put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance: “Tuoba Wudi, the military god of Beimang, has withdrawn his troops from the northern border and returned to Beimang Dadu half a month ago.”

“Our King Zhenbei may have to free up his hands to plan for the Great Zhou.”

As he spoke, Ning Fan smiled and shook his head: “I finally rested for these few months, and next, I am afraid it will be completely lively.”

Half a month later, a sudden news shocked the whole world.

The Southern King Han Qinhu led an army of 200,000 and led his troops to attack in the name of entering the capital to defend the king.

Immediately afterwards, 300,000 tigers and wolves in the northern border marched south!

The sudden action of the two kings of different surnames shocked everyone. No one expected that these two kings of different surnames would suddenly attack without warning.

In just half a month, these two kings of different surnames swept across a state like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves!

The offensive was terrible and unstoppable.

Such an action was an undisguised overturning of the table.

The court and the public were shocked. Emperor Tiande was furious and issued an order to remove the two kings from their thrones, treating them as traitors. At the same time, he ordered King Jiang Lan to lead the army to eliminate the rebellion!

The Great Zhou Dynasty had completely entered a place of wind and rain.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, which had existed for 800 years, was now shaky and could fall apart at any time.

Youzhou, the Grand Commander’s Office.

In the meeting room, Ning Fan sat in the main seat. In the two rows below him sat all the generals under his command, including Ye Xiangtian who had previously guarded Yumen Pass and Ren Pingsheng from Liangzhou.

“Everyone, tell me, what should we do next.”

Ning Fan spoke slowly, but his eyes were indifferent, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Ye Xiangtian raised his eyebrows and stood up first with a fist: “Grand Commander, Youzhou is strong and well-equipped, and has plenty of food and grass. In my opinion, we should attack and defeat the enemy!”

“The two kings of different surnames have received the emperor’s grace, but they have done such a rebellious thing. As your majesty’s subjects, we should naturally help your majesty solve his problems!”

Ye Xiangtian’s meaning is very clear, take the initiative!

At present, the Youzhou army is strong and well-equipped, with plenty of money and food. In this chaotic world, there is absolutely no problem in taking the initiative to attack.

After hearing this, Ren Pingsheng shook his head:

“It’s okay to take action, but I think it’s not the right time yet.”

The two famous generals had completely different opinions.

“I don’t think that our strength is insufficient, but I think that taking action now is not a wise choice.”

“Your Majesty ordered King Jiang Lan to take action to stop the two kings of different surnames. If we suddenly take action without Your Majesty’s order, how will the court view us?”

“Will they also list us as traitors?”

“It’s unknown!”

Ren Pingsheng paused and continued: “And it should be noted that the 100,000 troops in Liangzhou are well-trained now.”

“But, when thrown into the battlefield, they are still rookies.”

“Without the baptism of blood and fire, it is destined to be impossible to forge a fighting spirit.”

“My suggestion is to wait!”

“It’s not urgent to take action after all three parties have suffered losses.”

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

Ye Xiangtian frowned: “The situation is unpredictable. We should seize the initiative. If others seize the initiative first, it will be difficult to deal with.”

“Especially… Jiangnan!”

“Once one of the two kings of different surnames takes Jiangnan, it will be bad.”

When the word Jiangnan came out, even Ren Pingsheng frowned and did not refute.

As the money bag of the entire Great Zhou, Jiangnan is definitely the top priority.

More than 50% of the annual tax revenue of the Great Zhou comes from Jiangnan.

In addition, Jiangnan is a place of outstanding people, aristocratic families, and great Confucian disciples.

On the other hand, although the two states controlled by Ning Fan have vast territories, they have a fatal problem, that is, they are slightly desolate.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Ning Fan.

Only Ning Fan is qualified to make the final decision.

“There are three people who started the rebellion!”

“King Han Qinhu of the South, King Yang Xiao of Zhenbei, and the legitimate prince Jiang Tian.”

“Besides, there are drunkards.”

Ning Fan spoke.

In this vast world, only these three people can catch Ning Fan’s eye.

And these three people are exactly the three most powerful forces besides Ning Fan.

“The three of them are too comfortable now.”

Ning Fan sneered.

“King Jiang Lan, the backer, can’t stop the blades of these two kings of different surnames.”

“As your Majesty’s subjects, I should be loyal to your Majesty!”

“Send troops to the northern border!”

Boom!!!

When Ning Fan said the last four words, the whole hall was dead silent.
