Thirty miles away from Xuanhai, Dashun Military Camp.
Prince Yi Li Shuntai looked at the map in front of him, thinking about the next step!
Since the launch of the army, Dashun's 500,000-strong army has been overwhelming, moving all the way south and conquering most checkpoints. Even if it encounters hard-to-gnaw bones, Li Shuntai will make a detour with the purpose of capturing Xuanhai in the shortest possible time.
The reason why Dashun's army moved south so smoothly was not only because of the speed of its troops, but also because of the chaotic political situation in the south, warlords fighting, and the incompetence of the court.
According to Li Shuntai¡¯s estimation, it only takes him three days to capture Xuanhai City and destroy the economic center of the south.
In fact, before raising the army, Li Shuntai suggested to Emperor Jiaxing of Dashun to capture the southern capital Nandu City with lightning speed.
But Emperor Jiaxing followed the advice of the Imperial Master and wanted to go to Xuanhai and release some kind of zombie king.
Li Shuntae is a prince and has military power. Logically speaking, he is not afraid of the imperial army. If he really wants to go his own way, it is not impossible to give up Xuanhai and take the southern capital.
But the national preceptor Shi Yongcheng did not know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into the Jiaxing Emperor. He actually forced Li Shuntai to take Xuanhai first with the order of thirteen gold medals!
Unless Li Shuntai rebels, he will not be able to disobey Emperor Jiaxing's holy order.
With all the help, Li Shuntai could only look at Nandu City, sighed with excitement at the city, and changed his route to Xuanhai.
Li Shuntai is a famous general in the world. Since he decided to attack Xuanhai first, he naturally made full preparations. Not only did he send people to inquire about Xuanhai's situation in advance, he also personally took charge of the central army and marched all the way to Xuanhai.
The spies came back soon to report that the warlord Liu Marshal who was originally stationed in Xuanhai died for unknown reasons. The defenders he stayed in Xuanhai were also defeated by a Jianghu gang.
There is no army stationed in Xuanhai today, it is considered an empty city!
When Li Shuntai heard the news, he was not too happy. He only had contempt for the Southern Army in his heart.
It is simply a joke that the mighty army was defeated by Jianghu gangs.
It¡¯s not that Li Shuntai looked down on the Southern Army. If he hadn¡¯t been young and didn¡¯t control Dashun¡¯s military power, and the previous generation of emperors were fatuous, which led to the rise of the rebel army, Dashun wouldn¡¯t have lost half of the country.
In the past twenty years, the affairs of the Dashun court have been changing, and palace battles have continued, which has led to chaos in the south.
Now that Emperor Jiaxing of Dashun is in control of the political power and Li Shuntai is in control of the military, the whole country is unified as never before.
On the contrary, the southern regime has been in chaos for a long time, and the imperial court has no real power at all. Warlords from all over the country are fighting in a melee, and they are no match for the northern army.
Li Shuntai also received support from the west and purchased a large number of advanced firearms. In addition to this expedition, all members of the Enshrinement Institute were dispatched, preparing to take back the seven provinces in Jiangnan in one fell swoop.
He, Li Shuntai, was confident that whatever the Northern Army's frontline pointed was directed at, there would be no need to release any zombie king.
"It's a pity that Emperor Jiaxing firmly trusted the national teacher Shi Yongcheng and insisted on releasing some zombie king to plunge Jiangnan into chaos. Then the northern army would come out to clean up the mess and unify China!"
Li Shuntai really didn¡¯t understand the thoughts of Emperor Jiaxing and Shi Yongcheng, but he had to obey the order because there was always someone watching next to him.
The number one master of the Enshrinement Institute, Tu Honglie, was ordered to protect Li Shuntai. This time he went south with the army and stayed by Li Shuntai's side at all times!
Li Shuntai knew that all the people in the enshrinement courtyard belonged to Shi Yongcheng. This Tu Honglie was called a protector, but he was actually a spy.
"As long as he disobeyed Emperor Jiaxing's orders, Shi Yongcheng would be caught.
Li Shuntai believes that Emperor Jiaxing¡¯s imperial edict will arrive the next day, and it will be him who is the rebellious general!
Li Shuntai would also think about it when he had time, it would be better to directly rebel against the Jiaxing Emperor and become the emperor himself.
"It's a pity that his whole family is in the capital, and their lives are all in the hands of Emperor Jiaxing!"
Li Shuntai sat down on the commander's seat with some gloominess. He didn't even look at the map, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip!
Next to him, a white-haired old man wearing a black robe, with his hands hidden in his sleeves, said with a smile:
"Prince Yi, the two armies are about to start a war. You are still drinking in the tent. Isn't it against military discipline?"
Li Shuntai snorted coldly, placed the wine jar on the table, splashing drops of wine, and said with a strange air:
"Tu Gongfeng, you are here to protect me with the army this time, not to teach me a lesson!"
Tu Honglie lowered his head and smiled: "The prince is serious. Tu is teaching the prince a lesson. He is just a kind reminder that the war is about to begin. You need to stay awake at all times!"
"I am very sober!" Li Shuntai stood up and said to Tu Honglie: "Everyone in the world is drunk, but I am sober!"
Tu Honglie¡¯s eyes narrowed, a flash of yellow light flashed,You said: "My lord, you are drunk!"
"I'm not drunk, I'm very sober!" Li Shuntai staggered up to Tu Honglie, stared into his eyes drunkenly, and said:
"With my eyes, I can clearly see who is loyal and who is traitorous in this court!"
Tu Honglie¡¯s hands hidden in his robe moved slightly, but they quickly restrained themselves!
"My lord, you are really drunk and need a good rest!" Tu Honglie said: "I think it is better to leave the attack on Xuanhai to the deputy general!"
"Huh!" Li Shuntai snorted coldly and said, "I wonder who dares to get involved in my king's military power. Don't think I don't know. My deputy general has been his Shi Yongcheng's for a long time!"
Tu Honglie said with a smile: "The prince is joking, Deputy General Zhang is naturally your deputy general, how can he be a member of the National Preceptor!"
Li Shuntai laughed loudly and said: "The Imperial Preceptor's Tianli Sect members are all over the court. The whole family of Deputy General Zhang are all followers of the Tianli Sect. I'm afraid my general's orders are not as good as those of the Tianli Sect!"
Tu Honglie's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said: "The Tianli Sect protects the country and the country. If it weren't for the national teacher to protect half of Dashun, I'm afraid the world would have been different now!"
Li Shuntai hummed and said: "Shi Yongcheng's achievements are true, but the emperor also rewarded him heavily, and even deliberately suppressed Shaolin Wudang and supported the growth of Tianli Sect!"
Tu Honglie said: "The Tianli Sect has no different intentions. They just want to help the emperor regain the lost territory and unify China!"
Li Shuntai took three steps back, returned to his seat, and said, "Shi Yongcheng is the only one who knows whether the Tianli Sect is loyal or not!"
Tu Honglie half-squinted his eyes, as if he was trying to see whether Li Shuntai was really drunk or pretending to be drunk.
It¡¯s just that after watching for a long time, he really didn¡¯t notice that Li Shuntai was pretending.
Now, he can be regarded as telling the truth after drinking!
"Your Majesty is drunk, Tu will not disturb you anymore!" Tu Honglie stretched slightly and slowly exited the tent.
As soon as this person left, Li Shuntai immediately regained his composure, snorted coldly, picked up the wine jar again, and took a big gulp!
When Li Shuntai put down the wine jar, his pupils couldn't help but shrink!
Because a person appeared across from him, but it was not Tu Honglie or anyone from the Northern Army.
"There are many Celestial Masters from Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Honorary Elders, and I have met Prince Yi!"
The person who came was none other than Lin Li, who had sneaked into the military camp and was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army!
It turns out that Lin Li has sneaked into the military account and there are countless ways to kill Li Shuntai.
It¡¯s just that he changed his mind after hearing the conversation between Li Shuntai and Tu Honglie!
"King Yiqing, I wonder if you are interested in making a deal with me!" Lin Li said to Li Shuntai with a smile.
"You are a bold man who sneaked into our army's tent with evil intentions. Come quickly!" Li Shuntai shouted, trying to get the guards outside the tent to come in.
But after he called for a long time, there was no movement outside the tent! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
