Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

It was not just the Yuan Turks, Central Plains aristocratic families, the Li clan and others who were holding the conference.

There were also Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Zhai Rang, Dou Jiande, Xiao Xin, Du Fuwei and others who also convened small meetings of core members in their respective forces.

at the same time.

The last base of the orthodox Sui Dynasty, the city of Chang'an in Guanzhong.

After Yang Zhao returned to Daxing Palace, he first comforted the many sisters in his harem, and then he took Gu Yue, Xie Daoyuan, Zhangsun Wugou, Zhu Yuyan, and Yan Fei with him, and also assembled his core team.

In the cabinet of Wenhua Hall.

Such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Yin Shishi, Gao Shilian, the Nine Elders of the Sui Dynasty, the Old Man Entering the Dream, Zi Yang Zhenren, the Ghost Shadow Ancestor, Mu Qingliu, Mo Yiming, Xiang Yutian and others, all gathered together.

Different from other forces.

Because Yang Zhao had the Huangji Zhenshi Bell in his hand, he did not have to worry about betrayal. Therefore, power was decentralized in the entire Guanlong court, and there was no difference in status between people on a daily basis.

Therefore, in the Guanlong court, even though there are many strong people, the power is quite dispersed.

There are three factions: the civil officials in the court, the military generals, the old ministers such as the Nine Elders who founded the Sui Dynasty, the powerful worshippers, and the demon sect. Each faction has its own faction, and there are extremely fierce conflicts within each faction.

This is also the reason why Guanlong’s combat effectiveness fell into decline when the news came that Yang Zhao, the backbone of the army, had an accident.

So when Yang Zhao appeared with the five women, the whole scene became quiet.

Yang Zhao glanced at everyone without saying a word. He brought the five women to the first seat, looking down at everyone like a god in heaven.

"Changsun Wuji, I heard from Guanyin that in order to monopolize power and achievements, you took the lead in forming small groups, dividing factions, and suppressing others?"

"I am guilty, please punish me, Your Highness."

As soon as Yang Zhao's words came out, Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then he bowed his head and confessed his guilt cleanly and neatly.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a tacit understanding between Yang Zhao, Changsun Wugou and Changsun Wuji.

Zhangsun Wugou can be said to be one of the most representative ladies in Yang Zhao's harem. She has a deep relationship with Yang Zhao and is extremely favored.

Similarly, Changsun Wuji also joined Yang Zhao's army when he was insignificant, worked diligently, and made countless contributions.

No matter from which perspective, Yang Zhao would not punish Changsun Wuji.

But at this moment, Yang Zhao was the first to kill Changsun Wuji as a warning to the monkeys.

Changsun Wuji had made no major mistakes, but had committed many minor ones. His crimes were obviously not as serious as Yang Zhao said. However, he understood Yang Zhao's meaning in an instant and confessed his guilt decisively.

Seeing this scene, everyone present had an extremely ominous feeling.

The most meritorious official in the Guanlong court was punished, so how can others be good?

as predicted.

After seeing Zhangsun Wuji's perfect cooperation, Yang Zhao felt relieved, but his face was still cold as he said, "Well, considering your sincere attitude in admitting your guilt and your many contributions in the past, I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes in the underground palace for one month, deduct your salary for one year, and reduce your rank by one grade. If you commit the same offense again, I will not let you off easily."

Zhang Sun Wuji bowed and said, "Your Highness is so kind. I thank you very much."

As Yang Zhao waved his hand, the halo of national destiny on Changsun Wuji was suddenly reduced by a layer, and his aura suddenly dropped a lot.

Then, Yang Zhao looked at other people.

"Your Highness, I, Master Yin Shi, apologize to you!"

"Your Highness, I, Wu Jianzhang, apologize to you!"

"Your Highness, I, Liu Laozhi, apologize to you!"

"Your Highness, I, Chen Zhibao, apologize to you!"

"Your Highness, I, Yue Fei, apologize..."

"Your Highness, I, Xin Wenli, apologize..."

Compared with the minor conflicts among the civil officials in the court.

This time, the conflicts among the generals in the Guanlong court became much greater, and the problems were much more serious.

Today, the Guanlong court has clean administration, good politics and harmonious people.

Although many civil officials wanted to form cliques and small groups, no one dared to abuse power or deceive the royal family. It was just that internal competition was very serious, and some people tried to steal credit, which was despicable.

But among the generals, there are Yang Zhao’s father-in-law, veterans of three dynasties, the ceiling of martial arts, generals from Guanzhong, generals from the Central Plains, foreign generals from the Song Dynasty, and so on.

There are many generals, but there are only so many armies.

When Yang Zhao was in power, he was able to assign the army to certain generals cleanly and efficiently with his extremely strong prestige.

But Yang Zhao was not there, and various parties in Guanlong were in a state of emergency some time ago.

Be it for the sake of fighting for power or for the sake of competing for merit, a group of generals who refused to submit to each other almost dismembered the 400,000 main forces including Zuo Yiwei, Daxue Dragon Cavalry, Yue Family Army, and Beifu Army.

Even Xin Wenli, Chen Zhibao, Yue Fei, and Liu Laozhi, the standard commanders of the four major legions, could not withstand that group of howling generals.

For example, Yin Shishi has Wei Wentong, Zuo Tiancheng, Shang Shitu and others under him. He is also known as the father-in-law of King Zhao and the chief military commander. It is not too much for him to ask for 20,000 men to come to Zuo Yiwei, and it is also reasonable for him to ask Brother Tao of Daxue Longqi for 10,000 cavalry.

For example, Wu Jianzhang, as the leader of the Nine Elders who founded the Sui Dynasty, brought a group of screaming old generals and dragged Yang Jian out of the Daxing Palace. He came to you, Liu Laozhi, to discuss whether he could get 10,000 soldiers. Would you give them to him? He also came to you, Yue Fei, to have a drink and extort 20,000 soldiers from him. If you didn't give them to him, he would just lie there.

Once this momentum starts, it will naturally be unstoppable.

You can come to me to get something for free, but I can't take advantage of you to get something for free.

If you dig into my corner, I will take away all your hoes.

For a period of time, the command system of the entire Guanlong military system was in chaos. Whenever there was a war to fight, a group of people would be gathered together.

This also led to the Guanlong military's decline in external battlefields.

Fortunately, in the court, there was Li Jing, who had been promoted to the position of Minister of War by Yang Zhao a long time ago. Li Jing was not convenient to go out to lead troops to fight, so he was not drawn into the vortex. He managed to maintain the situation and at least prevented the outside troops from breaking into Guanlong.

Looking at those people who were apologizing in unison, Yang Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

To be honest, these top military generals did not have any bad intentions. None of them made mistakes like being self-centered, hegemonic, or afraid of fighting. On the contrary, every general was extremely capable and good at fighting on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, even if a team is very capable alone, it will be useless without coordination.

If it weren't for the local officials on the border who used their official seals to coordinate with the people's will and mobilize the heaven and earth, it is hard to say that this time, the Guanlong area would have suffered a great loss.

Chapter 692: Punishing the Generals, the Demon Sect's Strongest Ones Who Want to Save Face

The generals are all good generals, and the soldiers are all good soldiers. They are all extremely brave, good at fighting, and loyal.

But what can I say about the fact that I suffered a loss after winning the battle?

Yang Zhao looked at the group of famous generals and warriors in the hall who were so powerful that they could dazzle people's eyes, and he felt extremely helpless.

As for punishment, each of these people led the troops to victory in the war to some extent.

But when it comes to rewards, these people really don't care about their reputation in order to fight. They act independently and only care about their own interests. They even forget the basic border defense.

Yang Zhao could even guess what everyone was thinking at the time.

It's simply that everyone thinks they are so awesome that they must go out to fight in the field and kill the enemies, and those who are not up to the task will naturally stay behind to defend the border.

It doesn't matter if one or two people think this way, but if everyone thinks this way, the defense line will naturally become porous.

Seeing Yang Zhao in trouble, the others didn't know what Yang Zhao was thinking, so naturally they didn't know how to give any suggestions.

And at this time.

Four little heads soon popped up on the beams of the Wenhua Palace, led by the eccentric Huang Rong, followed by Wanwan, Yin Xiaoniang, and a pretty girl who looked unfamiliar to Yang Zhao.

"Brother Zhao, punish the generals instead of the soldiers, reward the soldiers instead of the generals, this is so easy to solve."

The person who could best guess Yang Zhao's thoughts was undoubtedly the girl Rong'er. Seeing Yang Zhao's embarrassed face, she almost instinctively came up with some ideas for him.

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the four girls on the beam.

Behind Yang Zhao, Changsun Wugou, who had been as gentle as water, frowned and glared at Huang Rong and the other three girls.

Huang Rong then realized that this was a formal occasion for her husband to handle state affairs.

It was already outrageous for the four of them to lie on the beams and eavesdrop, and now they have exposed themselves. How embarrassing!

Just when Huang Rong cleverly called Wanwan, Yin Xiaoniang and the strange girl to escape.

Yang Zhao smiled dotingly, opened his big hands, and as if capturing a dragon or a crane, he brought the four little ones who were about to escape directly to his side.

The big hand rubbed Huang Rong's little head.

He gave Wanwan, Yin Xiaoniang and the strange girl a look again.

Soon, the four girls stuck out their tongues and came to Yang Zhao one after another. Some of them looked quite good, and came with noble manners, acting very "cold".

Yang Zhao was extremely doting and tolerant towards his own woman and ignored her.

Wait until the four girls' episode is over.

Yang Zhao just looked at the group of military officers in the hall and said, "During the previous war, all your meritorious services will be used to make up for your crimes. As an additional punishment, you will go to the border towns that have suffered from the war and build roads for thousands of miles. You are not allowed to take any shortcuts or shirk your responsibilities in any way."

"In addition, the Minister of War Li Yaoshi was awarded 3,000 merits and promoted to the first rank. The merits of the soldiers in the previous war were sorted out, and the money in the palace treasury was used to distribute them as usual."

The advice given by Huang Rong is undoubtedly quite good.

Until a suitable military system is established, this is the only way to deal with it for now.

After hearing Yang Zhao's words, all the generals in the hall expressed their gratitude and then withdrew.

In a sense, this can be considered a escape.

Many military generals in the palace have already started thinking about sending a reward to Huang Yaoshi in Chang'an and leaving after the court meeting is over.

See the generals retreat.

Yang Zhao didn't care what the generals were thinking. He looked at Xie Xuan, the dreamer, Zi Yang Zhenren, the Ghost Shadow Ancestor, Mu Qingliu, Mo Yiming, Xiang Yutian and others with a dangerous look.

Different from the civil and military officials in the court.

Both the worship faction and the demon sect are high-level combat forces in the Guanlong court.

Before, Yang Zhao was trapped in Chiyou's Blood Cave. The various forces that besieged Guanlong were not just large armies, but also experts who sneaked into border cities and important military towns to cause sabotage.

Even on the battlefield, there were experts who appeared and intercepted the army.

The people of the Demon Sect, after hundreds of years of division and independence, were unified by Yang Zhao, but now they are forming a very serious group.

In terms of top combat power, the people from the Demon Sect are no match for Xie Xuan, Ru Meng and Zi Yang Zhenren.

But in terms of intelligence, connections, and environment, the people of the Demon Sect are much stronger than Xin Lai's worshippers.

In order to intimidate this group of worshippers.

These people from the Demon Sect are really shameless. They use threats and bribes to deceive civil and military officials from all sides, and conceal the information of external masters from their own sect.

The loss was not too great.

Yang Zhao laid a solid foundation in the Guanlong area, and organized towns, official roads, mountains, land veins, and water veins to form a formation of heaven and earth, which was not just for show.

Even the various legions in Guanlong have military secrets and the aura of a commander. Even if they occasionally encounter an ambush by a master, they can protect themselves and retreat quickly.

But it’s just like those generals who were fighting for troops and merits.

This "show of force" by the Demon Sect against the Worship Sect has already affected the safety of the Guanlong area.

Being stared at by Yang Zhao.

The people from the Demon Sect actually wanted to admit their mistakes, but they were a group of strong men, the youngest of whom was two or three hundred years old, and some were even elders of the civil and military officials in the court. They were more or less unable to save their faces, and hoped that Yang Zhao would give them some face.

Especially Xiang Yutian, relying on his outstanding spiritual power, has begun to convey some information to Yang Zhao through an invisible spiritual ripple.

In an instant, Yang Zhao was so angry that he laughed.

All these demon sect members have already incorporated their true spirits into the Huangji Zhenshi Bell, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty.

But after being a strong and expert for so long, his mentality has become a little arrogant and distorted.

In the eyes of these people, there are often only people of the same level left. Insignificant soldiers and civilians are like ants. Occasional mistakes and losses are nothing.

This kind of thought that is similar to that of immortals and gods is not wrong.

This group of people have at least the level of Martial Saint, and they follow the path of magic. Each of them has lived for hundreds of years.

In a sense, these people from the Demon Sect are almost two different species from ordinary soldiers and civilians.

The loss of a few soldiers and civilians is naturally not as important as the losses of the Demon Sect to Yang Zhaolai.

However, these people from the Demon Sect ignored Yang Zhao's majesty in formal occasions.

On weekdays, Yang Zhao could have a certain respect for these powerful demons, or even indulge them.
