"By the time I came here, Youzhou was stable, and the military power of my Linghu family had been weakened to the point where there was little left."
"Now, including the city defense army and the palace soldiers, my Linghu family only has an army of 3,000 people. Compared with the glory of commanding an army of 100,000 at its peak, it is nothing."
"The reason for this is because of the current emperor."
Linghu Zheng did not explain how his military power was weakened little by little, but Liu Feng could guess that it was all related to Linghu Xiaoshan.
After all, the current emperor, the emperor known as Shunde by the outside world, let Linghu Xiaoshan be Nangong Qiu Shui. If the Linghu family still controls a large number of troops, the strength of the Linghu family will be too strong.
"But you may not know that the successor chosen by the late emperor was not the current Emperor Shunde."
"The Shunde Emperor's ascension to the throne was entirely the result of a conspiracy."
"If there hadn't been the turmoil in the Crown Prince's Palace back then."
"He can't be emperor either."
"A conspiracy to seize the throne?"
Linghu's expression changed. Liu Feng was really brave. He had never dared to say these words in all these years.
"good."
"The previous emperor passed away, leaving behind eight eunuchs and four regents."
"Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been hindered by these people in every way and has been trying to find a way to eliminate their influence."
"The first person forced to resign and retire was Lord Li."
The Linghu family breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, Emperor Shunde also knows that my Linghu family has never been loyal to a single individual, but to the entire dynasty, and only serves as a general for the people of the world."
"So even though he was suppressed many times, his military power was only weakened, and he did not completely withdraw from the court."
Liu Feng nodded.
This has been the case throughout the dynasties. When seeking power and usurping the throne, the first thing one does is to eliminate dissidents.
It is necessary to build a team that is loyal to you.
"The new emperor formed the Fengling Army and gave it to Xiaoshan to lead. This is also the new emperor's attempt to win over the Linghu family."
"Linghu Xiaoshan is from my Linghu family, but what about Nangong Qiushui? Xiaoshan still doesn't understand the situation."
"But as a father, I know."
"So while I still have power, I have to leave her a way out."
"That's why I asked you to form the Tiger Roar Army."
"The Tiger Roar Army is the Linghu family's retreat, and even more so Xiaoshan's retreat."
"this?"
Hearing this, Liu Feng couldn't help but gasp.
Could it be that my father-in-law is planning to rebel?
Is the new emperor so cruel and unkind that he is unpopular?
However, according to Linghu Xiaoshan, the new emperor is not a tyrannical person.
He may not be the greatest emperor of all time, but at least he is not incompetent.
"You still have to go to the military camp next."
"Take this token. It's the symbol of my Linghu family. It will make it easier for you to come and go in the future."
Linghu Zheng took off his token from his waist.
With the Linghu family's token, Liu Feng can meet Linghu Xiaoshan openly.
"Thank you very much."
Liu Feng bowed and then looked up.
"Don't worry, General. If you give me this opportunity, I won't let you down."
The Tiger Roar Army can be considered as the dowry given to him by the Linghu family.
He will also be the entire Linghu family's only support in the future if something happens to Linghu Xiaoshan.
It must be said that Linghu Zheng is far-sighted and thorough, and Liu Feng will not be lagging behind. He will definitely train a cavalry that can fight one against a hundred.
When Liu Feng left, the Tiger Roar Army's flag had already been prepared.
The military flag was still the original military flag of Tianyong City, and the embroidery and everything else were the same, but the only difference was that the big characters on the flag were changed to "Tiger Roar Army".
Liu Feng also knew that if he directly used a newly designed military flag, it would definitely not work.
The current situation is the same as that of Tianyong City, which means that Liu Feng’s Tiger Roar Army is still under the leadership of Tianyong City.
With the protection of the legitimacy of the troops, other things will naturally be easy to handle.
Liu Feng rode his horse to the Fengling Army camp and went straight in with the photos he wanted to take.
Soon they arrived outside the central military tent.
After someone went in to report, Liu Feng walked in.
The first thing I saw when I entered was Linghu Xiaoshan wearing armor. Her black hair was standing high, her face was serious, and her aura was powerful.
This was the first time Liu Feng saw Linghu Xiaoshan in military uniform.
"Why are you here?"
Linghu Xiaoshan looked at her armor, feeling a little embarrassed. She waved her hand without any hesitation and took off her armor in front of Liu Feng with the help of the maid beside her.
Then he put on his casual clothes.
"You're out of camp today."
"No, we are training the soldiers today."
"I'm afraid the war will soon begin."
"How come?"
Liu Feng sat down and listened to Linghu Xiaoshan continue.
The maid who tipped off the emperor has already made arrangements. Long Zhui brought her to the capital to meet the emperor. Judging by the time, His Majesty should have received my letter.
"Your Majesty, conduct a thorough investigation. Within three to five days, the Northern Barbarian army's food and fodder will be cut off."
"Once the Northern Barbarian army loses its food supplies, they will have no choice but to fight."
Looking at Liu Feng's eyes, he told him this core military secret.
In the past, only he and the four deputy generals knew this information. Even the eight generals were not qualified to know it first.
The reason why I trust Liu Feng is very simple.
First, Liu Feng is her fiancé, and many of the big plans recently were made by him.
Second, Liu Feng is extremely talented, and if he knew it, it would benefit the battle situation.
Third, this is his own selfish motive.
