Huangxiu

Chapter 540 Persuasion
Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.

A huge sword appeared in the void above her head, looming, as if immersed in a deep pool.

Li Hongzhao's eyes flickered as she stared at him intently.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "You actually know it, there's no need for me to say anything more."

A trace of helplessness appeared on Li Hongzhao's beautiful face.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Do you feel like you can't hold on any longer? This is not like you, Your Highness."

Li Hongzhao is such a proud person with a strong will. He can stand firm even after suffering many setbacks.

This is the immortal will that comes from the Phoenix bloodline, which is absolutely not something that ordinary people can achieve.

But even such a resilient person looked dejected and helpless, which shows how great the pressure is.

It seems that she is under more pressure than expected.

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Isn't everyone against you?"

"That's about right." Li Hongzhao nodded gently, "We are attacked from all sides, and the whole world is our enemy."

"At least the Phoenix Sword Sect supports you, right?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "The other sects should also be on your side, right?"

"They are useless." Li Hongzhao shook his head: "They have no say in the court."

"The Wulin sect should be able to influence the military, right?"

"The number of martial arts masters in the army is very small."

“The army is against you, the court is against you…” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: “It’s really miserable.”

Li Hongzhao shook his head: "There's nothing we can do. It's just a mess."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “If it weren’t for the mess, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be your turn.”

"...That's right." Li Hongzhao was speechless and nodded in agreement.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "As for the Emperor's Sword..."

"The Emperor's Sword is of great importance. It cannot be activated unless it is absolutely necessary," Li Hongzhao said, "Forget about the Emperor's Sword."

"These shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Chu Zhiyuan said calmly.

He has reacted.

Li Hongzhao told me all this, probably not expecting me to help him with ideas.

She's not that weak at all.

Li Hongzhao sighed, "From top to bottom, they are all as unyielding as a rock. There is nothing I can do. I can only let them fight among themselves."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Did they provoke them to kill each other?"

"I want to form a separate camp, modeled after your Phoenix Camp, to be the emperor's personal guard."

"Let them compete for the quota?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "But they may not be willing to do so, right?"

"That's not up to them." Li Hongzhao said calmly, "It's called the Shenlong Camp, the treatment is very high, the standards are very high, and the future is limitless."

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Hongzhao said: "I can't order them around. If they want to build their own battalion, it's no problem. They have their own factions and their own plans."

"Your Highness is wise." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Has the Shenlong Camp been formed?"

"It's not fully built yet. We are preparing to make all the soldiers masters." Li Hongzhao said calmly: "Compare it to your Phoenix Camp."

"If it's a Grandmaster..." Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right?"

The Grandmaster is the pillar wherever he is and the top force in every camp.

Even if the emperor ordered the recruitment of masters, the armies under him would not release them willingly.

She will definitely find ways to resist, let alone she is the empress.

Li Hongzhao snorted and said, "This is an open conspiracy. They are reluctant to let them go, but are those masters willing to stay? Who doesn't want to join the Shenlong Camp?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "It's probably still difficult... This will make them too busy to take care of themselves, right?"

Li Hongzhao’s purpose might not really be to establish the Shenlong Camp.

It is not about letting the various camps in the army fight each other, but about making them feel guilty, lack confidence, and unable to join forces.

The Mongolian army was probably thinking about not letting their masters enter the Shenlong Camp, and they were trying to conceal it or persuade their masters to give up this idea.

They would worry that Li Hongzhao would force himself to convene the meeting, and would be insecure and frightened. As a result, they would not take the initiative to cause trouble for Li Hongzhao.

This move is to turn defense into offense, to attack first if you want to defend.

They went from wanting to cause trouble for Li Hongzhao to being afraid that Li Hongzhao would cause trouble for them.

"As expected of you." Li Hongzhao chuckled, his eyes full of phoenixes: "My method is not bad, right?"

“I admire you.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “After taking the throne, your Highness’s abilities have improved…it seems like he has a master assisting him.”

Li Hongzhao waved her hand nonchalantly: "I was just thinking about it, but I had no choice."

She had a bright and charming smile, and looked proud.

“Haha…” Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head: “You are just showing off… Your Highness has become the emperor, but your heart is still the same as before. Do you have to take revenge for this?”

After going around in circles and talking about it, it seems like you are complaining, but in fact you are just showing off.

"If it were you, what would you do?" Li Hongzhao snorted, "Would you show off?"

"...Yes." Chu Zhiyuan said: "I'm sure he can't wait to show off in front of Your Highness...Your Highness must have endured it for so long, isn't it?"

"Well, I finally got you here!" Li Hongzhao chuckled proudly.

The laughter echoed far into the woods.

Chu Zhiyuan looked helpless.

I knew she would do this.

After the giggles subsided, Chu Zhiyuan spoke: "It seems that Your Highness is not worried about his position at all."

Li Hongzhao snorted complacently: "No matter how much they jump around, they can't do anything to me."

With the Emperor's Sword in hand, people's hearts are on your side and others will not dare to act recklessly.

No matter how much they dislike me, it is impossible for them to overthrow me.

If you can't overthrow yourself, then you have to listen to yourself.

It's okay if you pretend to obey once or twice, but if you do it too often, it will naturally lead to backlash.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Da Meng is now unable to start a war."

"That may not be the case." Li Hongzhao snorted, "If I set a reward, there will definitely be brave men under a heavy reward."

"Even if the Mongol army wins, it will not be of any benefit to Your Highness." Chu Zhiyuan said: "The people will attribute the credit to the army, not to you."

"Dazhen and we are almost done talking." Li Hongzhao said, "You guys are too slow to react."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Dazhen will not agree to join forces with you to deal with us."

"You guessed wrong." Li Hongzhao snorted, "Dazhen wants to deal with you, and you are the ones they are most on guard against."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Dazhen's goal is to prevent you from joining forces with us to deal with them, not to join forces with you to deal with us."

Li Hongzhao snorted, "The alliance between us must be negotiated and completed."

She had to admit that Chu Zhiyuan was very accurate.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Do you think Dazhen will abide by the covenant?"

"Now that it has been decided, we will naturally comply."

"Too naive," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Dazhen only wants to stabilize your Dameng. Once the situation gets bad, they will tear up the alliance directly. This has always been Dazhen's style."

Li Hongzhao frowned slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "As the emperor, you can check the performance of Dazhen throughout the ages, and you can also see the performance of our Dajing. Once you compare them, you will know how to choose."

"You guys in Dajing seem to often break treaties, right? It's the same thing."

Chu Zhiyuan said solemnly: "On the contrary, we are the ones whose conditions are torn down every time."

Li Hongzhao smiled.

She had obviously read the news about this.

It seems that Dajing and Dazhen are similar, both are easy to break their promises.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "We were both forced, and Dazhen was the one who took the initiative."
