Everyone felt their scalps tingling as they looked at the three wooden boxes neatly placed on the table.
The young woman standing at the innermost part of the table was not tall, but her powerful aura and deterrent power were enough to make people feel suffocated.
Shen Xu sneered contemptuously and said coldly, "Since I have the ability to kill three bandit leaders and escape unscathed, there must be a big man behind me to support me. What can you do if you capture me now?
What will happen if we are all killed?
Marshal Su is dead, and the Hua Guoshi behind him was also destroyed by me long ago.
Do you think you can have wealth and glory by following him?
Wake up! It's the imperial court that's giving you a 30% pay raise. It's also the imperial court that's giving you weapons and strategies to repel the enemy!
If you come and arrest me now, you are a traitor to the court and a rebel!
"You, the headless flies who once served as a dog for Master Hua, have left the imperial court. Where will you find a place to stay?"
When the armed guards saw the tiger talisman and the golden seal, and heard that the military pay had increased by 30%, they hesitated and dared not step forward.
"You evil woman, stop spreading rumors here and deceive the people. Come on, capture them all!"
Shen Xu slammed the table and shouted, "I have the imperial court behind me, what else do you have behind you?"
"Hmph, without us defending the front lines, the imperial court is nothing but a stray dog under the feet of others. The young emperor's troops are all here. As long as we are here, the imperial court is here. If we perish, the imperial court will perish!"
But Shen Xu laughed out loud, and the people behind him also laughed mockingly.
"It seems that this general is still unaware that the former emperor has passed away."
The few people who were originally sitting there also became restless and started talking.
Shen Xu continued, “The one who has succeeded to the throne now is the Thirteenth Prince Xiao Mingcheng, and behind him is the support of the Yang family’s 400,000-strong southwest army.
Not only that, all the military forces in Qingzhou Prefecture, Yazhou Prefecture, and Panshi City expressed their support for the new emperor.
The entire military force in the south belongs to our new emperor.
You are not fighting alone, and the imperial court will not become a lost cause!"
Pei Zhiyuan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. She was so bold. Apart from the less than 100,000 soldiers in Panshi City, the rest of the princes were either watching or ready to make a move. How could anyone support His Majesty?
Several veterans sitting at the table were discussing, "What? The new emperor has ascended the throne. Will the Southwestern Army come to support the northern defense line?"
"No wonder she looked so confident. It turns out she can really repel the enemy..."
"This Su Yi is not a talented commander. We lost so many men under his command, and he spends his days drinking and partying, ignoring military affairs..."
Seeing this, Shen Xu quickly ordered, "Quickly capture these traitors for me! Those of you who hold important positions in the military must be reassigned and promoted!"
When the guards who had surrounded the tent heard that they had a chance of promotion if they knocked them down, they quickly tied up the troublemaking generals.
Chen Xu said to the remaining generals, "Before discussing a strategy to repel the enemy, go and give orders to all the camps and gather all the soldiers currently in this city. I have something to teach you."
At this moment, everyone admired this young woman deeply and followed her orders.
Shen Xu grabbed a general and asked, "Who are the people whose seats are vacant? Why didn't they come?"
The soldier sighed softly and replied, "Three generals have been killed in action, and another is still fighting desperately on the front lines. The other two are scoundrels promoted by Marshal Su, and I don't know where they are sleeping in a brothel right now."
Shen Xu nodded and calmly ordered, "Order someone to capture these two."
On the parade ground, rows of soldiers stood in the open space. Some battalions were in neat order, while some were lazy and had discarded their weapons and armor.
They saw a girl coming out of the tent, and some of them started to cheer and whistle.
Song Lin pursed his lips and frowned, and said angrily: "Is this what the royal cavalry looks like?"
Pei Zhiyuan was not surprised. "Termites and cancer are everywhere. If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked."
Shen Xu pointed at the lazy group of people and asked, "Who is in charge of those battalions?"
The soldier beside him replied, "That's the one your guards just shot."
"It's a good death." She snorted softly, picked up the loudspeaker that the sniper had used that day, and shouted, "Soldiers, be quiet."
The noisy sounds below suddenly decreased, but there were still people shouting and making loud noises.
"Who are those?" She turned her head and continued to ask the soldier.
"Left Army Sergeant..."
"It's not important." Shen Xu interrupted him and said, "Tie him up."
The two soldiers immediately stepped forward, only to see that the people from that camp had surrounded them.
"What? What are you doing?"
Seeing this, Song Lin dragged the man who was shot out of the tent without saying a word, threw him in front of those people with force.
When the people in that area saw that their general was shot dead, they immediately quieted down.
Song Lin went over personally and subdued the noisy person in just a few moves, carrying him out like a chicken. Several other people were about to step forward to stop him, but he knocked them down easily.
Shen Xu said, “The court has increased your salary by 30% each, so that you, as qualified soldiers, will be loyal, brave, and upright, and fight to defend our country.
Instead of lazing around like a gangster, bullying men and women, and causing trouble in the village. He pretends to obey but secretly disobeys, and delays military operations!
On the front line, there are still many brothers who sacrifice their blood for their country and mountains and rivers. Look at you, what do you look like?
If the wolves from the north were to attack you, would you be able to fight them? Would you be able to protect your families and the people behind you?
